2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY
Statement of complience
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”) effective on the Company’s reporting
date, i.e. December 31, 2022 and in accordance with the provisions of Ministry of Public Finance Order
no. 2844/2016 approving the Accounting regulations compliant with International Financial Reporting
Standards, applicable to companies whose securities are admitted to trading on a regulated market, with
subsequent amendments and clarifications. Such provisions are consistent with the requirements of the
International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union.
Bases of preparation
The consolidated financial statements were prepared on a going concern basis, at historical cost, adjusted
to hyperinflation as at December 31, 2003 for fixed assets, share capital and reserves.
The financial statements are prepared based on the statutory accounts kept in accordance with Romanian
accounting principles, adjusted for compliance with IFRS
Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared under the going concern basis, which implies that the
Group will continue its activity also in the foreseeable future.
To assess the applicability of this presumption, management reviews forecasts of future cash inflows. On
December 31, 2022, the Group's current assets exceed current liabilities by 61,776,349 RON. In 2022,
the Group recorded a profit of 56,124,755 RON (2021: 1,790,612 RON) and a cash flows of 56,272,168
RON (2021: -3,107,739 RON).
Based on the budgets of the companies in the Group proposed for the year 2023 and the positive growth
trend recorded in recent years, the management believes that the Group will be able to continue its
activity in the foreseeable future and, therefore, the application of the principle of going concern in the
preparation of financial statements is justified .
Bases of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Parent, of its subsidiaries
and joint ventures. Control is obtained when the Parent has the power to govern the financing and
operating policies of an entity to acquire benefits from the latter’s activities.
In view of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2018/815 (hereinafter referred to as the ESEF
RTS) which specifies the single electronic reporting format (ESEF) in which all financial statements are
prepared, the Group considered it necessary to align the presentation of the overall result with the
financial position. compliance with ESEF taxonomy.
The profit of the subsidiary acquired during the year is included in the consolidated income statement as
at the acquisition date.
Where required, the subsidiary’s financial statements are corrected to adjust its accounting policies in
accordance with the policies used by the Parent.
All group transactions, balances, income and expenses are completely eliminated from the consolidation.
Non-controlling interests in net assets (excluding goodwill) of the subsidiary are disclosed separately from
the Group’s equity. Non-controlling interests consist in the sum of interests as at the date of the original
business combination (see below) and the non-controlling share in changes in equity starting from the
combination date. Losses corresponding to the minority, which exceed the non-controlling interest held in
the subsidiary’s equity are allocated as compared to the Group’s interests, except if the minority holds an
obligation and can make additional investments to cover losses.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY (continued)
Information on issued standards that will come into force at a later date, which are not
applied by the Group in its financial statements (continued)
Standards and amendments to existing standards issued by the IASB and adopted by the
EU, but which have not yet entered into force
At the date of approval of these financial statements, the following amendments to existing standards
have been issued by the IASB and adopted by the EU, but are not yet in force:
➢ IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts" including amendments to IFRS 17 issued by the IASB on June
25, 2020 - adopted by the EU on November 19, 2021 (applicable for annual periods beginning on
or after January 1, 2023),
➢ Amendments to IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts" – Initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 –
Comparative information, adopted by the EU on 8 September 2022 (applicable for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2023),
➢ Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements" - Presentation of accounting
policies adopted by the EU on March 2, 2022 (applicable for annual periods beginning on or after
January 1, 2023),
➢ Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors” –
Definition of accounting estimates adopted by the EU on March 2, 2022 (applicable for annual
periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023).
➢ Amendments to IAS 12 "Income tax" – Deferred tax related to receivables and payables
arising from a single transaction adopted by the EU on 11 August 2022 (applicable for annual
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023).
New standards and amendments to existing standards issued by the IASB but not yet
adopted by the EU
Currently, IFRS as adopted by the EU do not differ significantly from the regulations adopted by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), except for the following new standards,
amendments to existing standards and new interpretations, which have not been approved for use in
EU on 31.12.2022 (the effective dates mentioned below are for the IFRS standards issued by the
IASB):
➢ Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements" – Classification of liabilities
into short-term liabilities and long-term liabilities (applicable for annual periods beginning on or
after January 1, 2023),
➢ Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" – Lease liabilities in a sale and leaseback transaction
(applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024),
➢ IFRS 14 "Deferral accounts related to regulated activities" (applicable for annual periods
beginning on or after January 1, 2016) – The European Commission decided not to issue the
approval process for this interim standard and wait for the final standard,
➢ Amendments to IFRS 10 "Consolidated financial statements" and IAS 28 "Investments in
associated entities and joint ventures" - Sale of or contribution of assets between an investor and
its associated entities or joint ventures and subsequent amendments (effective date has been
postponed indefinitely, until the research project on the equivalence method is completed).
The Group anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to existing standards
will not have a material impact on the Group's financial statements during the period of initial
application.
Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been
adopted by the EU remains unregulated.
According to the Group's estimates, the use of hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and
liabilities according to IAS 39: "Financial instruments: recognition and measurement" would not
significantly affect the financial statements, if applied at the balance sheet date.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY (continued)
Information on issued standards that will come into force at a later date, which are not
applied by the Group in its financial statements (continued)
Additional information on specific standards, amendments to existing standards and
interpretations that may be used when appropriate:
➢ IFRS 14 "Deferral accounts related to regulated activities" issued by the IASB on January 30,
2014. This standard aims to allow entities that adopt IFRS for the first time, and which currently
recognize deferred accounts related to regulated activities according to generally accepted accounting
policies previous, to continue to do so upon transition to IFRS.
➢ IFRS 17 "Insurance contracts" issued by the IASB on 18 May 2017. The new standard states that
insurance obligations must be valued at a current realizable value and provides a more uniform
valuation and presentation approach for all insurance contracts. These requirements are intended to
achieve consistent, principles-based accounting of insurance contracts. IFRS 17 prevails over IFRS 4
"Insurance contracts" and related interpretations when applied. The amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance
Contracts issued by the IASB on 25 June 2020 postpone the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by
two years for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. In addition, the amendments
issued on 25 June 2020 introduce simplifications and clarifications to certain requirements in the
standard and provide additional facilities to the initial application of IFRS 17.
➢ Amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” – References to the Conceptual Framework with
amendments to IFRS 3, issued by the IASB on 14 May 2020. The amendments: (a) update IFRS 3 to
refer to the 2018 Conceptual Framework instead of The 1989 framework; (b) adds an additional
requirement to IFRS 3 that, for transactions and other events that are subject to IAS 37 or IFRIC 21,
an acquirer shall apply IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 (and not the Conceptual Framework) to identify the
liabilities it - assumed in a business combination; and (c) add an explicit statement to IFRS 3 that an
acquirer shall not recognize contingent assets acquired in a business combination.
➢ Amendments to IFRS 4 "Insurance contracts" – Extension of the temporary exemption from the
application of IFRS 9, issued by the IASB on 25 June 2020. The amendments change the fixed expiry
date of the temporary exemption from IFRS 4 Insurance contracts from the application of IFRS 9
Financial instruments , so that entities apply IFRS 9 for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January
2023.
➢ Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial instruments", IAS 39 "Financial instruments: recognition
and measurement", IFRS 7 "Financial instruments: disclosures", IFRS 4 "Insurance
contracts" and IFRS 16 "Leasing contracts" – Reform of the index interest rate benchmark –
Phase Two, issued by the IASB on 27 August 2020. The changes relate to changes to financial assets,
financial liabilities and lease liabilities, certain hedge accounting requirements and disclosure
requirements applying IFRS 7 to accompany the amendments on changes and hedge accounting:
a) Changes in financial assets, financial liabilities and lease liabilities - the IASB introduces a
practical advantage for the changes that the reform implies (changes that come as a direct
consequence of the IBOR reform and operated on an economically equivalent basis). These changes
are accounted for by updating the effective interest rate. All other changes are accounting applying
the current requirements of IFRS. A similar practical advantage is proposed for lessee accounting
applying IFRS 16.
b) Hedge accounting requirements – according to the amendments, hedge accounting is not
discontinued only as a result of the IBOR reform. Hedging relationships (and related documentation)
must be amended to reflect changes to the hedged item, hedging instrument and hedged risk.
Modified hedging relationships must meet all qualifying criteria for the application of hedge accounting,
including efficiency requirements.
c) Disclosures – for users to understand the nature and scope of the risks arising from the IBOR
reform to which the entity is exposed, how the entity manages such risks, the entity's progress in
moving from IBOR indices to other reference rates, such as and how the entity manages this transition,
the amendments provide that the entity must disclose information on:
- how the transition from benchmarks based on interest rates to other benchmarks is managed, the
progress made at the reporting date and the risks arising from the transition;
- the quantitative information on non-derivative financial assets, non-derivative financial liabilities
and derivatives that continue to use interest rate benchmarks subject to reform, broken down by
significant interest rate benchmarks;
- to the extent that the IBOR reform has determined changes in the risk management strategy
implemented by the entity, a description of these changes and how the entity manages these risks.

d) The IASB also amended IFRS 4 in the sense that insurers applying the temporary exemption
from IFRS 9 should apply the amendments in accounting for the changes directly imposed by the
IBOR reform.
➢ Amendments to IFRS 10 "Consolidated financial statements" and IAS 28 "Investments in
associates and joint ventures" - Sale of or contribution of assets between an investor and its associates
or joint ventures, issued by the IASB on September 11, 2014 (on 17 December 2015, the IASB
postponed the effective date indefinitely). The amendments resolve the contradiction between the
requirements of IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint
venture, gains or losses are recognized when the assets sold or contributed represent an enterprise.
➢ Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases” – Rent concessions as a result of Covid-19, issued by the IASB on
28 May 2020. The amendments exempt lessees from considering each lease when determining whether
rent concessions that arise as a direct effect of the covid-19 pandemic constitute lease modifications
and allow lessees to account for such rent concessions as if they did not constitute lease modifications.
Applies to covid-19 rent concessions that reduce lease payments due on or before June 30, 2021.
➢ Amendments to IFRS 16 "Leases" - Rent concessions as a result of Covid-19 after 30 June 2021
issued by the IASB on 31 March 2021. The amendments extend by one year the period of application of
the practical advantage in IFRS 16. The relief was extended by one year to cover rent concessions that
only reduce lease payments due on or before June 30, 2022.
➢ Amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance contracts” – Initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 –
Comparative information issued by the IASB on 9 December 2021. It is a narrow-scope amendment to
the transitional requirements of IFRS 17 for entities applying for the first time IFRS 17 and IFRS 9
simultaneously.
➢ Amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements" - Classification of liabilities into
short-term liabilities and long-term liabilities, issued by the IASB on January 23, 2020. The
amendments provide a more general approach to the classification of liabilities provided by IAS 1
starting from contractual agreements existing at the reporting date. The amendments to IAS 1 issued
by the IASB on 15 July 2020 postpone the effective date by one year for annual periods beginning on or
after 1 January 2023.
➢ Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” – Presentation of Accounting
Policies issued by the IASB on 12 February 2021. The amendments require entities to present their
significant accounting policies rather than significant accounting policies and provide guidance and
examples to assist preparers of financial statements to decide which accounting policies to present in
the financial statements.
➢ Amendments to IAS 8 “Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors” –
Definition of accounting estimates issued by the IASB on 12 February 2021. The amendments focus on
accounting estimates and provide guidance on the distinction between accounting policies and
accounting estimates.
➢ Amendments to IAS 12 "Income tax" - Deferred tax related to receivables and payables
arising from a single transaction issued by the IASB on 6 May 2021. According to the
amendments, the exemption from initial recognition does not apply to transactions where temporary
differences arise both deductible as well as taxable on initial recognition, resulting in the recognition of
equal deferred tax assets and liabilities.
➢ Amendments to IAS 16 "Property, plant and equipment" - Receipts before expected use, issued
by the IASB on 14 May 2020. The amendments prohibit the deduction from the cost of an item of
property, plant and equipment of any proceeds obtained from the sale of items produced during the
bringing of the respective asset to the place and in the condition necessary to be able to operate as
planned by management. Instead, the entity recognizes the proceeds from the sale of these items, and
the cost of producing these items in the profit and loss account.
➢ Amendments to IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" - Onerous
Contracts - Cost of Contract Execution, issued by the IASB on May 14, 2020. According to the
amendments, the "cost of execution" of a contract includes "costs directly related to the contract". The
costs directly related to the contract can be either incremental costs of contract execution, or an
allocation of other costs directly related to the execution of contracts.

Information on issued standards that will come into force at a later date, which are not
applied by the Group in its financial statements (continued)
Additional information on specific standards, amendments to existing standards and
interpretations that may be used when appropriate: (continued)
➢ Amendments to various standards due to "IFRS Improvements (2018-2020 cycle)" issued
by the IASB on 14 May 2020. Amendments to various standards resulting from the annual IFRS
improvement project (IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16 and IAS 41) with the main purpose of eliminating
inconsistencies and clarifying certain wordings. The amendments: (a) clarify that the subsidiary
applying paragraph D16(a) of IFRS 1 can cumulatively assess exchange differences using the
amounts reported by the parent, depending on the date of transition of the parent to IFRS (IFRS 1);
(b) clarifies the fees that an entity includes when applying the “10 per cent” test in paragraph B3.3.6
of IFRS 9 to assess whether it should derecognize a financial liability. An entity includes only fees
paid or received between the entity (borrower) and the lender, including fees paid or received by
either the entity or the lender on behalf of the other (IFRS 9); (c) removes from the example the
presentation of the lessor's reimbursement of leasehold improvements to resolve any possible
confusion about the treatment of lease incentives that might arise because of the way in which lease
incentives are presented in that example (the example illustrative 13 attached to IFRS 16); and (d)
removes the requirement in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 for entities to exclude cash flows with taxation
when measuring the fair value of a biological asset using a present value technique (IAS 41).
Revenue recognition
According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognized when or as the customer acquires control of the goods or
services at the value that reflects the price that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in
exchange for those goods and services. Income is recognized at the fair value of the services rendered or
the goods delivered, net of VAT, excise duties and other sales taxes.
IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers"
IFRS 15 "Revenue from contracts with customers" introduces a comprehensive model for the recognition
and measurement of income. The standard replaces the income recognition criteria, replacing IAS 18
"Revenue", IAS 11 "Construction Contracts" and IFRIC 13 "Customer Loyalty Programs". Under the new
standard, revenue is recognized when or as the customer acquires control of the goods or services at the
value that reflects the price that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those
goods and services.
Being permitted by the standard, the Company adopted IFRS 15 as of January 1, 2018 using the revised
retrospective method with cumulative adjustments from the initial application recognized as at 1 January
2018 in equity and without altering the figures for prior periods. Initial application has no impact on the
Company's retained earnings.
Income is measured at the fair value of amounts received or receivable. Income is reduced by the value
of returns, commercial rebates and other similar costs
Sale of goods
Income from sale of goods is recognized when the following conditions are met:
i. The Group has transferred to the buyer all the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the
goods;
ii. The Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated
with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
iii.The value of the income can be measured reliably.

Revenue recognition (continued)
Revenues from services delivered
Revenues from services delivered are recognized if they can be reliably measured.
The revenue associated with the transaction must be recognized according to the stage of execution of
the transaction at the balance sheet date. The outcome of a transaction can be reliably estimated when
all of the following conditions are met:
a. the amount of revenue can be reliably assessed;
b. it is likely that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will be generated for the
Company;
c. the stage of completion of the transaction at the end of the reporting period can be reliably
assessed; and
d. the costs incurred for the transaction and the costs of completing the transaction can be reliably
measured.
When the outcome of a transaction involving the revenues from services delivered cannot be reliably
estimated, revenue should be recognized only to the extent of recognized recoverable expenses.
Dividend and interest income
Income from dividends related to investments is recognized when the shareholders’ right to receive them
is established.
Foreign currency transactions
The Group operates in Romania and its functional currency is the Romanian leu.
When preparing the financial statements of individual entities and the Group, transactions in currencies
other than the functional currency (foreign currencies) are registered at the exchange rates prevailing at
the dates of the transactions. At each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign
currencies are translated at the rates prevailing at the balance sheet date.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not
translated.
Foreign exchange differences are recognized in the profit and loss as they arise.
The official conversion rates used to convert balance sheet items denominated in foreign currency at the
end of the reporting period were as follows:
➢ December 31, 2016: 4.3033 LEI/USD and 4.5411 LEI/EUR
➢ December 31 2017: 3.8915 LEI/USD and 4.6597 LEI/EUR
➢ December 31 2018: 4.0736 LEI/USD and 4.6639 LEI/EUR
➢ December 31 2019: 4.2608 LEI/USD and 4.7793 LEI/EUR
➢ December 31 2020: 3.9660 LEI/USD and 4.8694 LEI/EUR
➢ December 31 2021: 4.3707 LEI/USD and 4.9481 LEI/EUR
➢ December 31 2022: 4.6346 LEI/USD and 4.9474 LEI/EUR
Costs related to long-term borrowings
Costs related to long-term borrowings directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production
of assets, which require a substantial amount of time to be used or for sale are added to the cost of such
assets, until such assets are ready to be used according to their purpose or for sale.
All the other borrowing costs are recognized in the income statement as incurred.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY (continued)
Government subsidies
Government subsidies are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply
with the conditions of such subsidies and the subsidies are received.
Government subsidies whose main condition is that the Group acquire, build or otherwise obtain non-
current assets are recognized as deferred income in the balance sheet and are transferred to the income
statement systematically and rationally throughout the useful life of such assets.
Employee contributions
Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as
reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or
deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s
liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at
the balance sheet date.
Provisions for taxes
As at December 31, 2022 the Group’s financial statements include revaluation reserves. Based on the
latest provisions of current legislation, such reserves may become taxable if their destination changed, by
using them to cover accounting losses or by the Group’s winding up. The Group’s management considers
that there is no intention to use such reserves to cover accounting losses. Nevertheless, if such reserves
are used to cover losses, the Group must register an income tax liability in connection with such
reserves.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
separate financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit,
and are accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognized for all taxable temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will
be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Such assets and
liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition
(other than from a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries and associates and interests in joint ventures, unless the Group is able to control the reversal
of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the
foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with
such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable
profits will be available against which the benefits of the temporary differences can be utilized and are
expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and is reduced to the
extent that it is no longer probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits to allow full or partial
recovery of the asset.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates estimated to be applied in the period in
which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) in force or

Taxation (continued)
substantially enacted by the date of the balance sheet. The measurement of deferred tax assets and
liabilities reflects the tax consequences of how the Group estimates, at the reporting date, that it will
recover or settle the book value of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax for the period
Current and deferred taxes are recognized as expense or income in statement of comprehensive income,
except when they relate to items credited or debited directly to equity, in which case the tax is also
recognized directly in equity, or where they arise from the initial accounting for a business combination.
In the case of a business combination, the tax effect is considered when calculating goodwill or when
determining the excess of the acquirer’s interests in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities
and contingent liabilities of the acquired company on cost.
Property, plant and equipment
Land and buildings held to be used in the production or delivery of goods or services or for administrative
purposes are recorded in the balance sheet at fair value less the subsequently accumulated depreciation
and other losses of value.
The Group conducts the revaluation of land and buildings based on a valuation report issued by a
professional valuer, in order to determine the fair value thereof as at the balance sheet date.
Revaluations are conducted with enough regularity so as to ensure that the carrying amount does not
differ significantly from the amount that would have been determined by using fair value at the end of
the reporting period. The increases in the book values of tangible assets further to revaluation were
credited to Revaluation reserves under Equity. Revaluation reserves established after 2004 are not
fiscally deductible.
Gains and losses on the sale or disposal of an asset are determined as difference between income from
the asset sale and their net book value. Gains and losses are recognized in the Income Statement.
The buildings’ depreciation is charged to the income statement.
Assets under construction for production, rental or administrative purposes, or for purposes not yet
determined, are carried at historical cost. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other
tangible assets, commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.
Plant and equipment are recorded in the balance sheet at historical cost adjusted to the effect of
hyperinflation as at December 31, 2003, in accordance with IAS 29 Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflationary Economies less the subsequently accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is registered so as to diminish the cost other than the cost of land and buildings under
construction, throughout their estimated useful life, on a straight line basis. The estimated useful lives,
residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each year, with the effect of any
changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
Assets held in financial leasing are amortized over the useful life, similarly to the assets held or, if the
lease term is shorter, over the term of the respective leasing contract.
Losses or gains from selling or disposing a tangible asset are computed as difference between sale
revenues and the net book value of the asset and are recognized in the income statement.
The following useful lives are used in the depreciation calculation:
Years
Buildings 5 – 45
Plant and equipment 3 – 20
Other installations, office equipment 3 – 30
Vehicles in finance lease 5 – 6

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY (continued)
Investment property
Investment property are properties held to earn rentals and/or for future capital appreciation. They are
measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment
property is measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment
properties are included in the profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is
calculated on a straight line basis throughout their useful life. The estimated useful life and method of
amortization are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate
accounted for on a prospective basis.
The calculation of amortization uses the following useful lives:
Years
Licences 1 – 5
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets, goodwill exclusively
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets
to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any
such indication exists, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset in order to determine the
extent of the impairment loss. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an
individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the
asset belongs. Where a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation cannot be identified, tangible assets
are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a consistent and reasonable
allocation basis can be identified.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for
impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing the
value in use, the estimated future cash flows are 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 asset for which the future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying
amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable
amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried
at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or the cash-generating
unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss
been recognized for the asset (or the cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss
is recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in
which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Costs, including a portion
corresponding to indirect fixed and variable expenses are allocated to inventories held according to the
most suitable method to that class of inventory, most of them being measured using the weighted
average. The net realizable value represents the estimated selling price for inventories less all estimated
completion costs and costs necessary to make the sale.
Assets held for sale
Assets held for sale are represented by real estate held by the Company, which forms the object of a
selling plan as at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Such assets are not depreciated and
are carried at the lower of carrying amount and fair value, less costs to sell and are presented
separately in the consolidated financial statements. Resulting gains and losses are included in profit or
loss as they arise.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive), as a result of
past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and a
reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
The amount recognized as provision is the best estimate of the required amount to settle the obligation
at the balance sheet date, considering the risks and uncertainties related to the obligation. If a provision
is measured using estimated cash flows to settle the current obligation, then the carrying value is the
current value of such cash flows.
Fair value measurement IFRS 13
A number of assets and liabilities included in the Company's financial statements require measurement
and / or presentation at fair value.
IFRS 13 Defines fair value as the price at which it would be collected for the sale of an asset or paid for
the transfer of a debt in a regulated transaction between market participants at the measurement date
(ie an exit price). The definition of fair value emphasizes that fair value is a market-based valuation, not
a Company-specific value.
IFRS 13 applies when another IFRS provides or permits fair value measurements or disclosures about
fair value measurements except in the following cases:
a) Share-based payment transactions falling under IFRS 2
b) Leasing transactions that fall under IFRS 16
c) Measurements that are similar to fair value but do not represent fair value, such as net realizable
value under IAS 2
d) Plan assets valued at fair value in accordance with IAS 19
e) Assets whose recoverable amount is fair value less costs associated with disposal under IAS 36
Fair Value Hierarchy - In order to improve the consistency and comparability of fair value measurements
and related disclosures, this hierarchy is classified into 3 levels:
1. Level 1 inputs – quoted prices (not adjusted) on active markets for identical assets or liabilities, to
which the Company has access at the measurement date
2. Level 2 inputs – inputs other than the quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for assets
or liabilities either directly or indirectly
3. Level 3 inputs– inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable inputs

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY (continued)
Financial assets and liabilities
The group applies IFRS 9 – Financial instruments which entered into force on January 1, 2018 and which
uses for the classification of financial assets, the business model of the entity and the cash flow
characteristics of the financial asset according to the contract.
Classification of the financial assets
According to IFRS 9 Financial instruments, financial assets are classified in:
1. financial asset valued at amortized cost if both conditions below are met:
– the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets to
collect contractual cash flows and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset generate, on certain dates, cash flows that are exclusively
payments of the principal and the interest related to the principal owed.
2. financial asset valued at fair value through other elements of the overall result if both conditions below
are met
- the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is fulfilled both by collecting the
contractual treasury flows and by selling the financial assets and
- the contractual terms of the financial asset generate, on certain dates, cash flows that are exclusively
payments of the principal and the interest related to the principal owed
3. financial asset valued at fair value through profit or loss, unless it is valued at amortized cost in
accordance with point 1 or at fair value through other elements of the comprehensive result in
accordance with point 2.
With the exception of trade receivables that fall under the scope of IFRS 15, a financial asset or a
financial liability is initially evaluated at fair value, and in the case of a financial asset or a financial
liability that is not at fair value through profit or loss, it is added or decrease the costs of the transaction
that are directly attributable to the purchase or issue of the financial asset or financial debt.
After the initial recognition, the subsequent evaluation of the financial assets is done at:
– amortized cost
– the fair value through other elements of the global result or
– fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets include shares held in subsidiaries, associated entities and jointly controlled entities,
loans granted to these entities, other investments held as fixed assets and other loans.
Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Significant influence is the power
to participate in the financial and operational policy decisions of the investee, but there is no joint control
or control over these policies.
The Group's investment in its associates is accounted for using the equity method. According to the
equity method, the investment in a partner is initially recognized at cost. The carrying amount of the
investment is adjusted to recognize changes in the share of the associated group's net assets at the
acquisition date. Goodwill related to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment
and is not tested separately for impairment

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

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY (continued)
Financial assets and liabilities (continued)
Investments in associates(continued)
The profit or loss statement reflects the Group's share of the associate's results of operations. Any change
in the OCI of those holdings is presented as part of the Group's OCI. In addition, when there has been a
directly recognized change in equity, the Group recognizes its share of any change, when applicable, in the
statement of changes in equity. Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Group
and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate.
The aggregate of the profit or loss share of an associate of the Group is presented in the statement of profit
or loss other than operating profit and represents profit or loss after taxes and non-controlling interests in
the associate's subsidiaries.
The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the group. When
necessary, adjustments are made to align the accounting policies with those of the Group.
After applying the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognize an impairment
loss on its investment in its association. At each reporting date, the Group determines whether there is
objective evidence that the investment in the association is impaired. If there is such evidence, the Group
calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate
and its carrying amount and then recognizes the loss in "Share of profit of an associate" in the statement
of profit or loss.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any investment
retained at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate at the loss of
significant influence and the value of the retained investment and the income from disposal are recognized
to profit or loss.
The Group's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and long-term
investments. Financial liabilities include finance lease obligations, interest-bearing bank loans, overdrafts,
trade payables and other liabilities. For each item, the accounting policies for recognition and measurement
are presented in this note. Management believes that the estimated fair values of these instruments
approximate their carrying amounts.
The impairment model in IFRS 9 requires that impairment allowances be recognized in accordance with
expected credit losses and not in accordance with the model of actual credit losses provided for in IAS 39.
IFRS 9 requires the Group to record an allowance for expected credit losses on all loans and financial assets
attached to liabilities that are not held at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets measured at
amortized cost will be subject to impairment allowances in accordance with IFRS 9. In general, the
application of the model for expected credit losses will involve the earlier recording of credit losses and will
lead to an increase in the impairment allowance for the relevant items.
For some financial instruments, such as trade receivables, impairment losses are estimated based on a
simplified approach, recognizing lifetime expected credit losses. The Group has established a matrix of
provisions based on the Group's historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors
specific to borrowers and the business environment.
Borrowings are initially recognized at fair value less costs incurred with such operation. Subsequently, they
are registered at amortized cost. Any difference between the entry value and the repayment value is
recognized in the income statement over the borrowing term, using the effective interest method.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY (continued)
Financial assets and liabilities (continued)
Financial liabilities
The Group classifies financial liabilities into one of the categories presented below, depending on the
purpose for which they were acquired.
• Measured at fair value through profit or loss - only for the categories of derivative financial
instruments held for sale. These are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value, and changes in
value are recognized in the income statement.
• Other financial liabilities: this category includes the following:
Bank loans, which are initially recognized at amortized cost, less transaction costs directly attributable to
obtaining the loans.
Debts and other short-term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognized at amortized cost,
subsequently presented at cost using the market interest method.
Financial liabilities are classified as liabilities or equity according to the substance of the contractual
arrangements. Interest, dividends, gains and losses related to a financial instrument classified as debt are
reported as expense or income. Distributions to equity holders are directly recorded to equity. Financial
instruments are offset when the Group has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends to settle either
on net basis, or to realize the asset and simultaneously write off the obligation.
The classification of investments depends on their nature and scope and is determined on the initial
recognition date.
Financial assets available for sale (AFS)
Shares held in an unlisted capital instruments are classified as AFS and are registered at fair value. Gains
and losses arising from changes in fair value are directly recognized in equity, in investment revaluation
reserves, except for impairment losses, interest calculated using the effective interest method and gains
and losses from the exchange rate of monetary assets, which are recognized directly in profit and loss. If
the investment is sold or it is found impaired, then the gain or loss previously cumulated previous
recognized in the investment revaluation reserve, is included in the profit and loss of the period.
Dividends from AFS capital instruments are recognized in profit and loss when the Group’s right to receive
them is established.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets, other than the ones recognized at fair value through the profit and loss account, are
measured for impairment on each balance sheet date.
Financial assets are impaired when there is objective evidence that one or more of the events occurring
after initial recognition have affected future cash flows related to the investment.
For shares available for sale, a significant or extended decline of the fair value of the security below its cost
is considered objective evidence of impairment.
Certain categories of financial assets, such as receivables, assets evaluated as individually non-impaired,
are subsequently evaluated for impairment collectively. Objective evidence for the impairment of a portfolio
of receivables may include the Group’s past experience in collective payments, an increase of delayed
payments beyond the credit period, as well as visible changes of national and local economic conditions
correlated with payment incidents regarding receivables.
The accounting value of the financial asset is reduced by the impairment loss, directly for all financial
assets, except for trade receivables, in which case the accounting value is reduced by using a provision
account. If a receivable is considered to be irrecoverable, it is eliminated and deducted from the provision.
Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited to the provision account. Changes in
the accounting value of the provision account are recognized in the profit and loss account.

2. MAIN ACCOUNTING POLICY (continued)
Financial assets and liabilities (continued)
The Group derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights over cash flows related to the
assets expire; or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all risks and rewards related to
the asset to another entity.
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities when and only when the Company’s liabilities have been paid,
written off or expired.
Segment reporting
Reporting by activity segments is based on the management's analysis of the group's activity considering
production processes, sales markets, the relevance of the resulting information. Thus, the Management
has identified four activity segments: Plastics processing, Recycled Polymers and compounds, Other
productive sectors and Other activities.
The "Plastics processing" segment includes the income obtained by the Group from the sale of
polyethylene products (agricultural films and heat-shrinkable films, polyethylene bags of various
thicknesses and sizes, covers), polypropylene (polypropylene bags for the milling and bakery industry,
chemistry, the sugar industry, etc. and large-sized bags - big-bags), polystyrene products (expanded
polystyrene trays - standard and catering, extruded polystyrene boards for floor insulation), PET products
(PET trays and foils and films multilayer (lamination, sealing, thermoforming), PVC pipes, etc. The
activities of this segment are carried out in Romcarbon SA and Livingjumbo Industry SA.
The segment "Recycled polymers & compounds" includes sales of regranulates from recycled polymers
and plastic compounds from virgin polymers used by processors of plastics that produce articles for
various applications in the automotive industry, the electrical and household appliances industry,
furniture, construction, pipes, packaging, etc. The activity of this sector is carried out in Romcarbon SA.
In the "Other Productive Sectors" segment are included "Individual respiratory protection equipment and
active carbon" which includes - respiratory protection equipment used by the large chemical and
petrochemical plants in the country as well as activated carbon intended for various gas purification
activities methane resulting from the process of biodegradation of household waste, greening of landfills,
retention of toxic gases from incinerators, etc., the "Filters" category, which includes sales of oil, fuel and
air filters for vehicles, vacuum cleaners, agriculture as well as industrial filters and "processed PVC"
includes products made from recycled material intended for obtaining road signs.
Each business segment is allocated revenues and profits, assets and liabilities, depreciation and
amortization expenses, and inputs of property, plant and equipment.
Earnings per share
IAS 33 - Earnings per share provides that, if an entity presents consolidated financial statements and
separate financial statements, the presentation of earnings per share is based on consolidated disclosures
only. If it chooses to disclose earnings per share based on its separate financial statements, it must
disclose such information on earnings per share only in the statement of comprehensive income.
The Group has chosen to disclose earnings per share in the separate financial statements, based on the
separate comprehensive income.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial information requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the end of reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could vary from these estimates. The estimates and underlying
assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized 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 period.

19. TRADE AND OTHER CURRENT RECEIVABLES (continued)
When determining the recoverability of a receivable, the Group takes into account any change in the receivable’s crediting capacity from the date the loan was
granted, until the reporting date. The level of credit risk is limited given that the client basis is large and the client portfolio is diverse and clients are
independent from each other.
The analysis was made strictly on the balance of the trade receivables account, less uncertain and disputable receivables.
The Group registers adjustments of receivables as per IFRS 9, and specific allowances for doubtful clients.
Therefore, the Group’s management considers that there is no need for an additional provision exceeding the allowance for doubtful debts.

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(a) Capital risk management
The Group manages its capital to ensure that Group entities will be able to continue as a going concern
while maximizing revenues for shareholders, by optimizing the debt and equity balance.
The Group’s capital consists of liabilities, which include the borrowings presented in note 28, cash and
cash equivalent and equity attributable to the company. Equity comprises the share capital, reserves and
retained earnings as presented in notes 24, 25 and 26.
The management of the Group’s risk also consists in a regular review of the capital structure. As part of
this review, the management takes into account the cost of capital and risks associated with each class
of capital. Based on the management’s recommendations, the Group will balance the general structure of
its capital by dividend payment, issuance of new shares and redemption of shares, as well as by
contracting new debts or settling existing debts.
(b) Main accounting policies
Details of the main accounting policies and methods adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the
basis of measurement and the basis on which income and expenses are recognized, in respect of each
class of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument are disclosed in Note 2 to the financial
statements.
(c) Objectives of financial risk management
The Group’s treasury function supplies services necessary to the business, coordinates access to national
and international financial market, monitors and manages financial risk related to the Group’s operations
through reports on internal risks, analysing exposure by the degree and extent of risks. Such risks include
market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk
and cash flow interest rate risk.
(d) Market risk
The Group’s activities expose it firstly to financial risks regarding the fluctuation of the foreign exchange
rate (see (e) below) and interest rate (see (f) below).
There has been no change in the Group’s exposure to market risks or in the manner the Group manages
and measures risks.
(e) Currency risk management
The Group undertakes transactions denominated in various foreign currencies. Hence, exposures to
exchange rate fluctuations arise. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policies .

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
(f) Interest rate risk management
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk given that Group entities borrow funds both at fixed and at
variable interest. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining a balance between fixed rate and
variable rate borrowings.
The Group’s exposures to interest rates over financial assets are presented in the section regarding
liquidity risk management under this note.
(g) Other risks regarding prices
The Group is exposed to risks related to equity, arising from equity investments. Equity investments are
held for strategic purposes rather than commercial purposes. The Group does not actively trade such
investments.
(h) Credit risk management
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in
financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy
counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of
financial loss from defaults. The management monitors the Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its
contractual counterparties.
Trade receivables consist of a large number of clients from various industries and geographical areas.
Credits are constantly assessed as regards the clients’ financial status and, if applicable, credit insurance
is concluded.
The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure towards any counterparty or any group of
similar counterparties. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics when they are
related entities. At no time during the year has the credit risk percentage exceeded 5% of the gross
monetary assets.
(i) Liquidity risk management
The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Administration, which
has built a proper liquidity risk management framework regarding the Group funds’ short, medium and
long term insurance and the liquidity management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by
maintaining adequate reserves, backup banking facilities and loan facilities, by continually monitoring
cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Note 32 includes a list of
additional facilities not drawn, available to the Group in order to further mitigate liquidity risk.
(j) Fair value of financial instruments
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities are determined as follows:
− the fair value of financial assets and liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded
on active liquid markets are determined by reference to quoted market prices;
− the fair value of other financial assets and liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) is
determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash
flow analysis using prices from observable current market transactions; and
− the fair value of derivative instruments is calculated using quoted prices. Where such prices
are not available, use is made of discounted cash flow analysis using the applicable yield curve
for the duration of the instruments for non-optional derivatives, and option pricing models for
optional derivatives.
The financial statements include unlisted share holdings, measured at fair value. The best estimate for
fair value is determined using the historical cost of shares.
The financial instruments in the balance sheet include trade receivables and other receivables, cash and
cash equivalents, short and long term borrowings and other liabilities. The estimated fair values of such
instruments approximate their carrying values. The carrying values represent the Group’s maximum
exposure to credit risks related to existing receivables.

31. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
The Group is mainly exposed to EUR and USD exchange rates. The following table details the Group’s
sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the LEI against the USD/EUR. 10% is the sensitivity rate
used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to top management and represents management’s
estimate of the reasonably possible changes in foreign exchange rates. The vulnerability analysis
includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated in monetary items and adjusts their translation
at the period end for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. In the following table, a negative number
below indicates a decrease in profit, whereas the LEI weaken 10% against the EUR/USD. For a 10%
strengthening of the LEI against the EUR/USD, there would be an equal and opposite impact on the
profit and other equity, and the balances below will be positive. Changes will be attributable to the
exposure related to EUR borrowings at the end of the year.

capital markets, the global prices of energy prices have increased and are expected to be very volatile in
the foreseeable future. At the date of this report, management cannot reliably estimate the effects on the
Company's financial outlook and cannot rule out negative consequences for the business, operations and

INTERNAL CONTROL
Internal control aims at ensuring a rigorous and effective management of the Group’s activity through the adoption by
the Group’s member companies of policies and procedures which ensure consistency of objectives, identify the key factors
of success and communicate to the entity’s managers in real-time information on performance and perspectives.
Internal control is organized so as to comply not only with financial-accounting regulations, but with all regulations, such
as environmental, occupational health and safety, emergency situations, the Civil Code.

2022 | ANNUAL REPORT REGARDING THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATETEMENTS
The Group faces various risks arising from the external or the internal environment that must be managed appropriately
by management. Risk identification and analysis is an ongoing process and a critical component of an effective internal
control. Some of the examples are the Group member companies’ inability to achieve the set objectives, staff quality,
importance and complexity of basic economic processes, introduction of new information technologies, entry of new
competitors on the market etc.
Management identifies and assesses these risks and formulates specific measures to reduce the risk at an acceptable
level.
For an adequate split of the responsibilities (tasks) in order to prevent significant frauds and errors, the Company applies:
a) The division of the administration of assets to avoid the risk of theft;
b) The division of the authorization of the operations of assets administration;
c) The separation of the IT tasks from the tasks of the persons outside the IT system (the tasks related to the design
and control of accounting software are separated from the ones related to the update of information)
Inside each Group member company, there are three different functions, whose separation (their aggregation is not
admitted) represents the grounds for mutual control between departments and performers, namely:
d) achievement of the objectives of the organization
e) preservation of the assets of the organization
f) the accounting function;
For an efficient internal control, the same person cannot fulfill all such roles. If any two of such roles are fulfilled by the
same person, the risk of error and fraud is higher.
Most of the operations and transactions involve at least two of the presented roles; as result, errors and frauds can be
easily detected, because they result in a lack of correlation between the statements, between the departments or
performers.
The internal accounting and financial control is a major element of internal control inside the entity and it relates to the
entire processes of obtaining and communicating the accounting and financial information in order to obtain reliable
information and in accordance with legal requirements.
The internal accounting and financial control focuses on providing:
g) compliance of the accounting and financial information with the applicable rules;
h) application of the management instructions according to this information;
i) protection of the assets;
j) prevention and detection of accounting and financial frauds and irregularities;
k) reliability of the information disseminated and used internally for controlling purposes, to the extent it contributes
to preparing published accounting and financial information;
l) reliability of the annual published financial statements and other information communicated to the market.
All intern control activities seek to perform a permanent and periodical review of activities, in order for the management
to identify the best solutions for its decisions for increasing the performance of the company and become more
competitive on the market.

liquidity risk management framework regarding the Group funds’ short, medium and long term insurance and the liquidity
management requirements. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, backup banking facilities
and loan facilities, by continually monitoring cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and
liabilities.
Credit risk

where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The management monitors the
Group’s exposure and the credit ratings of its contractual counterparties.

professional reasoning in these financial statements remains adequate.
