2. Statement of compliance with IFRS, and going concern assumption
2.1. Statement of compliance with IFRS, as adopted by the EU
The separate financial statement of the Company has been prepared in accordance with
“IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union” (“IFRS Accounting
Standards as adopted by the EU”). The reporting framework “IFRS Accounting Standards as
adopted by the EU” is essentially the designated national accounting basis International
Accounting Standards (IAS) as adopted by the EU, regulated by the Accounting Act and
defined in item 8 of its additional provisions
The financial statements are prepared in Bulgarian leva, which is the functional currency of
the Company. All amounts are presented in thousands of leva (BGN thousand) (including
comparative information for 2024), unless otherwise stated.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the information in these
financial statements.
These financial statements are separate financial statements. The Company also prepares
consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) developed and published by the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) and approved by EU. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for and disclosed in
accordance with IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements”.
2.2. Going concern principle
As of the date of preparation of these separate financial statements, management has
assessed the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future
based on available information. Based on the studies conducted, management has a
reasonable expectation that the Company has sufficient resources to continue as a going
concern in the coming years. Accordingly, it continues to apply the going concern basis of
accounting in preparing the annual separate financial statements. The external factors
monitored by management for the purpose of analysing and determining the risks faced by
the Company and the Group are primarily related to the military conflicts in Ukraine and the
Middle East, as well as the unstable macroeconomic environment in the country and the world,
mainly as a result of geopolitical uncertainties.
Geopolitical Events
The conflict between Russia and Ukraine:
The geopolitical uncertainty resulting from the war in Ukraine, the imposed bans on the entry
of aircraft from Russia and the suspension of travel to and from Russia have had a direct
impact on the activities of some of the subsidiaries and associates, as part of their revenues
were generated from flights, passengers, and passenger services arriving and departing
from/to the Russian Federation. All of these factors still have an impact on the growth rate of
aviation revenues and the related cash flows.
The Middle East Conflict
Since the end of February ‘26, tensions related to the conflict in Iran have escalated,
contributing to increased geopolitical uncertainty in the region and globally. The potential
consequences of these events include increased volatility in energy markets, additional
fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and increased uncertainty about future
Chimimport AD

economic conditions. Specifically, the effects for the Company will be in relation to investments
in subsidiaries whose aviation activities are directly affected by the closure of airspace and
flight restrictions in the Middle East region.
Management is monitoring the development of the situation and has taken into account the
available information in preparing the accounting estimates and assumptions. At present, no
need for adjustments to the financial statements has been identified, beyond the disclosures
made.
Macroeconomic uncertainties
The going concern assessment takes into account the current macroeconomic forecasts for
the Republic of Bulgaria for 2026, published by the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) and the
Ministry of Finance, including:
• Expected economic growth of GDP of 3.1% in 2026.
• Inflation of 3.5%, with a tendency to slow down compared to 2025.
• Low unemployment, stable consumption and moderate wage growth.
• Expected absorption of EU funds under the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
• Transition to the euro from 01.01.2026, which is expected to improve monetary transmission
and strengthen confidence in the economic environment.
The forecasts are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, also arising from the external
environment. The main sources of uncertainty are related to potential changes in the US trade
policy towards Europe and other countries and the responses of its main trading partners.
These factors may have a significant negative impact on economic activity in Bulgaria.
In 2025, the US announced new trade tariffs on goods from the EU and China, which led to
tensions in the global trading system. According to the European Central Bank and the
International Monetary Fund, such measures could lead to:
• Slowing down economic growth in the EU by up to 1.2% of GDP by the end of 2026.
• Reducing exports in key sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals and electronics.
• Increased uncertainty in trade relations, which may affect investment activity and exchange
rates.
Management believes that although these factors pose a risk, they do not directly threaten the
Company's operations.
3. New or revised standards or interpretations
3.1. New standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards as
at 1 January 2025
The Company has adopted the following new standards, amendments and interpretations to
IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, which are relevant to and
effective for the Company's separate financial statements for the annual period beginning 1
January 2025:
Amendments to IAS 21 “The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates: Lack of
exchangeability”, effective from 1 January 2025, adopted by the EU
Lack of Exchangeability amends IAS 21 to:
specify when a currency is exchangeable into another currency and when it is not
a currency is exchangeable when an entity is able to exchange that currency for the
Chimimport AD
Separate Financial Statements
31 December 2025
9
other currency through markets or exchange mechanisms that create enforceable
rights and obligations without undue delay at the measurement date and for a specified
purpose; a currency is not exchangeable into the other currency if an entity can only
obtain an insignificant amount of the other currency.
specify how an entity determines the exchange rate to apply when a currency is not
exchangeable when a currency is not exchangeable at the measurement date, an
entity estimates the spot exchange rate as the rate that would have applied to an
orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and that
would faithfully reflect the economic conditions prevailing.
require the disclosure of additional information when a currency is not exchangeable
when a currency is not exchangeable an entity discloses information that would
enable users of its financial statements to evaluate how a currency’s lack of
exchangeability affects, or is expected to affect, its financial performance, financial
position and cash flows.
3.2. Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards that
are not yet effective and have not been adopted early by the Company
As of the date of approval of these financial statements, new standards, amendments and
interpretations to existing standards have been published, but have not entered into force or
have not been adopted by the EU for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2025,
and have not been applied from an earlier date by the Company. Management expects that
all standards and amendments will be adopted in the Company's accounting policy in the first
period beginning after the date of their entry into force. Information about these standards and
amendments is presented below:
Annual Improvements Volume 11, effective from 1 January 2026, adopted by the EU
Annual Improvements Volume 11 cover wide area of topics in the following standards:
IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards
Hedge accounting by a first-time adopter. The amendment addresses a potential confusion
arising from an inconsistency in wording between paragraph B6 of IFRS 1 and requirements
for hedge accounting in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures
- Gain or loss on derecognition. The amendment addresses a potential confusion in
paragraph B38 of IFRS 7 arising from an obsolete reference to a paragraph that was
deleted from the standard when IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement was issued.
- Disclosure of deferred difference between fair value and transaction price. The
amendment addresses an inconsistency between paragraph 28 of IFRS 7 and its
accompanying implementation guidance that arose when a consequential amendment
resulting from the issuance of IFRS 13 was made to paragraph 28, but not to the
corresponding paragraph in the implementation guidance.
- Introduction and credit risk disclosures. The amendment addresses a potential
confusion by clarifying in paragraph IG1 that the guidance does not necessarily
illustrate all the requirements in the referenced paragraphs of IFRS 7 and by simplifying
some explanations.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
- Lessee derecognition of lease liabilities. The amendment addresses a potential lack of
clarity in the application of the requirements in IFRS 9 to account for an extinguishment
of a lessee’s lease liability that arises because paragraph 2.1(b)(ii) of IFRS 9 includes
a cross-reference to paragraph 3.3.1, but not also to paragraph 3.3.3 of IFRS 9.
- Transaction price. The amendment addresses a potential confusion arising from a
reference in Appendix A to IFRS 9 to the definition of ‘transaction price’ in IFRS 15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers while term ‘transaction price’ is used in
Chimimport AD
Separate Financial Statements
31 December 2025
10
particular paragraphs of IFRS 9 with a meaning that is not necessarily consistent with
the definition of that term in IFRS 15.
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
- Determination of a ‘de facto agent’. The amendment addresses a potential confusion
arising from an inconsistency between paragraphs B73 and B74 of IFRS 10 related to
an investor determining whether another party is acting on its behalf by aligning the
language in both paragraphs.
IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows
- Cost method. The amendment addresses a potential confusion in applying paragraph
37 of IAS 7 that arises from the use of the term ‘cost method’ that is no longer defined
in IFRS Accounting Standards.
Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
(Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7), effective from 1 January 2026, adopted by the EU
The amendments in Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial
Instruments (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7) are:
Derecognition of a financial liability settled through electronic transfer. The
amendments to the application guidance of IFRS 9 permit an entity to deem a financial
liability (or part of it) that will be settled in cash using an electronic payment system to
be discharged before the settlement date if specified criteria are met. An entity that
elects to apply the derecognition option would be required to apply it to all settlements
made through the same electronic payment system.
Classification of financial assets
- Contractual terms that are consistent with a basic lending arrangement. The
amendments to the application guidance of IFRS 9 provide guidance on how
an entity can assess whether contractual cash flows of a financial asset are
consistent with a basic lending arrangement. To illustrate the changes to the
application guidance, the amendments add examples of financial assets that
have, or do not have, contractual cash flows that are solely payments of
principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
- Assets with non-recourse features. The amendments enhance the description
of the term ‘non-recourse’. Under the amendments, a financial asset has non-
recourse features if an entity’s ultimate right to receive cash flows is
contractually limited to the cash flows generated by specified assets.
- Contractually linked instruments. The amendments clarify the characteristics of
contractually linked instruments that distinguish them from other transactions.
The amendments also note that not all transactions with multiple debt
instruments meet the criteria of transactions with multiple contractually linked
instruments and provide an example. In addition, the amendments clarify that
the reference to instruments in the underlying pool can include financial
instruments that are not within the scope of the classification requirements.
Disclosures
- Investments in equity instruments designated at fair value through other

IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements effective from 1 January
2027, adopted by the EU
IFRS 18 aims to improve how companies communicate in their financial statements, with a
focus on information about financial performance in the statement of profit or loss. IFRS 18 is
accompanied by limited amendments to the requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows.
IFRS 18 is effective from 1 January 2027. Companies are permitted to apply IFRS 18 before
that date. IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. Requirements in IAS
1 that are unchanged have been transferred to IFRS 18 and other Standards. IFRS 18 will
affect all companies in all industries. Although IFRS 18 will not affect how companies measure
financial performance, it will affect how companies present and disclose financial
performance. IFRS 18 aims to improve financial reporting by:
requiring additional defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss. Adding defined
subtotals to the statement of profit or loss makes companies’ financial performance
easier to compare and provides a consistent starting point for investors’ analysis.
requiring disclosures about management-defined performance measures. Requiring
companies to disclose information about management-defined performance measures
increases discipline over their use and transparency about their calculation.
adding new principles for grouping (aggregation and disaggregation) of information.
Setting out requirements on whether information should be in the primary financial
statements or the notes and providing principles on the level of detail needed improves
effective communication of information.
IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, effective from 1
January 2027, not yet adopted by the EU
The objective of IFRS 19 is to specify the disclosure requirements an entity is permitted to
apply instead of the disclosure requirements in other IFRS Accounting Standards. An entity
may elect to apply this Standard in its consolidated, separate or individual financial statements
if, and only if, at the end of the reporting period it is a subsidiary, it does not have public
accountability; and it has an ultimate or intermediate parent that produces consolidated
financial statements available for public use that comply with IFRS Accounting Standards.
IFRS 19 set out the detailed disclosures that an entity applying IFRS 19 is required to make.
These disclosure requirements are a reduced version of those set out in other IFRS
Accounting Standards. Of the 34 IFRS Accounting Standards that include disclosure
requirements, IFRS 19 provides reduced disclosure requirements for 30 of them. The
disclosure requirements for 3 standards have to be applied in full (IFRS 8, IFRS 17 and IAS
33). Entities applying IAS 26 Accounting and Reporting by Retirement Benefit Plans do not
meet the ‘not have public accountability’ criterion and are therefore not eligible to apply IFRS
19.
Amendments to IFRS 19 Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures,
effective from 1 January 2027, not yet adopted by the EU
The amendments include reduced disclosure requirements, excluding objectives and
guidance on areas such as supplier finance arrangements, Pillar Two rules, and financial
instruments, and replacing management-defined performance measures with a cross-
reference to IFRS 18.

Amendments to IAS 21 The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates, effective
from 1 January 2027, not yet adopted by the EU
The amendments address a specific scenario where a parent entity (whose presentation
currency is hyperinflationary) consolidates a foreign operation (whose functional currency is
non-hyperinflationary). The comparative figures for foreign operations with non-
hyperinflationary functional currencies must be restated using the general price index (as per
IAS 29) when presented in the hyperinflationary presentation currency.
4. Significant accounting policies
4.1. Overall considerations
The significant accounting policies that have been used in the preparation of these Separate
financial statements are summarized below.
The financial statements have been prepared using the measurement bases specified by IFRS
for each type of asset, liability, income and expense. The measurement bases are more fully
described in the accounting policies below.
It should be noted that accounting estimates and assumptions are used for the preparation of
the Separate financial statements. Although these estimates are based on management's best
knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from those
estimates.
4.2. Presentation of the separate financial statements
The financial statements have been presented in accordance with IAS 1 “Presentation of
Financial Statements”. The Company has elected to present the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income as a single statement.
Two comparative periods are presented for the statement of financial position when the
Company:
a) applies an accounting policy retrospectively;
b) makes a retrospective restatement of items in its financial statements; or
c) reclassifies items in the financial statements and this has a material impact on the statement
of financial position at the beginning of the preceding period.
In 2025 the Company presents one comparative period.
4.3. Climate-related matters
Climate change is currently a major focus for legislators, regulators and users of non-financial
information. The EU has adopted the European Green Deal for a transition to a more
sustainable economic and financial system, and in the coming years detailed requirements for
climate change reporting will become applicable as part of the European sustainability
reporting standards under the upcoming Directive on corporate sustainability reporting.
In 2024, amendments to the Accounting Act were adopted in the country, requiring public
interest entities with more than 500 employees to prepare a sustainability report as part of the
activity report. In March 2025, the amendments were postponed by 1 year, i.e. they will enter
into force for financial statements for 2025.
With issue 115 of the State Gazette, dated 30.12.2025, the Law on Amendments and
Supplements to the Value Added Tax Act was published, which amended paragraph 3 of the
Transitional and Final Provisions of the Accountancy Act. With the published amendment,
sustainability reporting is shifted by another year: the first reporting period for which
Chimimport AD should include a sustainability report is 2027.

A number of different changes are expected in 2027, including an increase in reporting
thresholds, a change in the definition of net income, and a significant change in the ESO.
sustainability, is 2027
Risks induced by climate changes may have future adverse effects on the Company’s
business activities. These risks include transition risks (e.g., regulatory changes and
reputational risks) and physical risks. How the subsidiaries and associated companies of the
Group operate their businesses may be affected by new regulatory constraints on the CO2
emissions it generates. Some of the subsidiaries and associated companies are engaged in
purchasing emission allowances according to Directive 2003/87/EC, ETS Directive - last
amended by Directive (EU) 2018/410, thereby making a significant contribution to reducing
the risks of carbon displacement emissions and are stimulating decarbonisation, through the
inclusion of benchmarks for free allocation of emissions based on the performance of the best
performing enterprises in a given sector. This aims to encourage efficient operators to improve
their performance while rewarding those who achieve good results.
The company on an individual level is not directly affected by climate risks, mainly due to the
fact that it operates as a holding company and the main activity is aimed at qualitative and
quantitative increase in the volume of projects in all sectors in which the companies of its
Group operate, development of modern, management strategies and their immediate
implementation through its subsidiaries. Concrete reflections of climate change could
materialize in the amount of dividend income received by subsidiaries and associated
companies that operate in the highly affected sectors from the point of view of sustainable
development and its three main pillars. At the moment, most companies in the group of the
most vulnerable segments have established and detailed measures to overcome changes of
a climatic nature, as well as ways to reach the NetZero level of carbon emissions.
The activity of Chimimport AD is in accordance with the minimum limits under Art. 18 of
Regulation/EU/2020/852 of the EP and of the Council and respects the principle "of not
causing significant damage".
The effects of climate change can be in the context of two perspectives - the impact that a
business can have through its activity on the climate, and the impact that climate change can
have on its economic activity.
The activity of Chimimport AD has no direct impact on the environment. Regarding the second
perspective, the effect would be indirect through the impact on the activities of subsidiaries
and associated enterprises and respectively the income from dividends and administrative
management services of the Company.
In the event of climate change actions in the future directly affecting the business, Chimimport
AD undertakes to analyse the impact on the climate and reduce its carbon emissions, if any,
by 50% by 2030 and to be carbon neutral no later than 2050.
Consistent with the prior year, as at 31 December 2024, the Company has not identified
significant risks induced by climate changes that could negatively and materially affect the
Company’s financial statements. Management continuously assesses the impact of climate-
related matters.
Assumptions could change in the future in response to forthcoming environmental regulations,
new commitments taken and changing consumer demand. These changes, if not anticipated,
could have an impact on the Company’s future cash flows, financial performance and financial
position.
4.4.
Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are firms under the control of the Company. The Company controls an investee
when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and
Chimimport AD
Separate Financial Statements
31 December 2025
14
has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. In the separate
financial statements of the Company investment in subsidiaries is accounted at cost of the
investment.
The Company recognises a dividend from a subsidiary in profit or loss in its separate financial
statements when its right to receive the dividend is established
4.5. Foreign currency translation
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency, using the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate as published by the
Bulgarian National Bank). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of
such transactions and from the re-measurement of monetary items at year-end exchange
rates are recognised in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at
the date of the transaction (not retranslated). Non-monetary items measured at fair value are
translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
Bulgarian leva is pegged to the euro at an exchange rate of EUR 1 = BGN 1.95583.
4.6. Segment reporting
Management defines operating segments based on the types of activities the Company
performs. The company's activity is carried out in one segment on a non-consolidated basis -
financial sector.
There have been no changes from prior periods in the measurement methods used to
determine reported segment profit or loss.
4.7. Revenue
Revenue includes revenue from services. Revenue from services is presented in note 23.
To determine whether to recognise revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:
1 Identifying the contract with a customer
2 Identifying the performance obligations
3 Determining the transaction price
4 Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
5 Recognising revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
Revenue is recognised either at a point in time or over time, when (or as) the Company
satisfies performance obligations by transferring the promised goods or services to its
customers.
4.7.1. Revenue recognised over time
4.7.1.1. Rendering of services
Revenue from services is recognized when the services are provided in accordance with the
degree of completion of the contract at the date of the separate financial statements.
4.8. Interest and dividend income
Interest income is recognized on an ongoing basis using the effective interest method.
Dividend income is recognised at the time the right to receive payment is established.
4.9. Operating expenses
Operating costs are recognized in profit or loss when the services are used or on the date they
are incurred.
Chimimport AD
Separate Financial Statements
31 December 2025
15
The Company reports two types of costs related to the performance of service delivery
contracts and customer contracts: contract conclusion/accomplishment costs and contract
performance costs. When the costs do not meet the conditions for deferral according to the
requirements of IFRS 15, they are recognized as current at the time of their occurrence, for
example, they are not expected to be reimbursed or the period of their deferral is up to one
year.
The following operating expenses are always reflected as a current expense at the time of
their occurrence:
General and administrative expenses (unless they are at the customer's expense);
Costs for the goods retired from use;
Costs related to the fulfillment of the obligation;
Costs for which the company cannot determine whether they are related to a satisfied or
unsatisfied performance obligation.
4.10. Interest expenses and borrowing costs
Interest expenses are reported on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.
Borrowing costs primarily comprise interest on the Company's borrowings. Borrowing costs
directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are
capitalized during the period of time that is necessary to complete and prepare the asset for
its intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are
incurred and reported in 'Finance costs'.
4.11. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost, which comprises its purchase
price and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working condition for its
intended use.
After initial recognition, property, plant and equipment is carried at its cost less any subsequent
accumulated depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Impairment
losses are recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for
the respective period.
Subsequent expenditure relating to an item of property, plant and equipment is added to the
carrying amount of the asset when it is probable that this expenditure will enable the asset to
generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed standard of
performance. All other subsequent expenditure is recognised as incurred.
The residual value and useful lives of property, plant and equipment are assessed by
management at each reporting date.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of
individual assets as follows:
Buildings 25 years
Machines and equipment 3-5 years
Computers 2 years
Others 6.67 years
Depreciation and amortisation expense is included in the separate statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income in the line "Operating expenses".
Chimimport AD

The gain or loss on the sale of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference
between the sale proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in the
separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
The recognition threshold adopted by the Company for property, plant and equipment amounts
to BGN 700.
4.12. Leases
The Company as a lessor
The Company's accounting policy under IFRS 16 has not changed compared to the
comparative period. As a lessor, the Company classifies its leases as operating or finance
leases. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and
rewards of ownership of the underlying asset, and as an operating lease if it does not transfer
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset.
Assets leased under operating leases are reflected in the Company's statement of financial
position. The Company earns rental income under operating leases on its investment
properties (see note 23). Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of
the lease.
4.13. Impairment testing of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and
investments in subsidiaries
For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which
there are largely independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets
are tested individually for impairment, and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
All assets and cash-generating units are tested for impairment at least annually. All other
individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's or cash-generating unit's
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs
to sell and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected
future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in
order to calculate the present value of those cash flows. The data used for impairment testing
procedures are directly linked to the Company's latest approved budget, adjusted as
necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganisations and asset enhancements. Discount
factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect their respective
risk profiles as assessed by management.
Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce the carrying amount of the assets
allocated to that cash-generating unit. All assets are subsequently reassessed for indications
that an impairment loss previously recognised may no longer exist. An impairment charge is
reversed if the cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
4.14. Investment property
The Company reports as investment property buildings that are held to receive rental income
and/or for capital appreciation, using the fair value model.
The investment property is initially measured at cost, which comprises the purchase price and
any directly attributable expenses, e. g. legal fees, property transfer taxes and other
transaction costs.
Investment properties are revalued on an annual basis and are included in the individual
statement of financial position at their market values. They are determined by independent
Chimimport AD
Separate Financial Statements
31 December 2025
17
valuers with professional qualifications and significant professional experience depending on
the nature and location of the investment properties, based on evidence of market conditions.
Any gain or loss resulting from either a change in the fair value or the sale of an investment
property is immediately recognised in profit or loss withinRevenue from non-financial
activities”.
Subsequent expenditure relating to investment property, which is already recognised in the
Company’s financial statements, is added to the carrying amount of the investment property
when it is probable that this expenditure will enable the existing investment property to
generate future economic benefits in excess of its originally assessed value. All other
subsequent expenditure is recognised as incurred.
The investment property is derecognised upon its sale or permanent withdrawal from use in
case that no future economic benefits are expected from its disposal. Gains or losses arising
from the disposal of investment properties are determined as the difference between the net
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised in profit or loss.
Rental income and operating expenses from investment property are reported in the separate
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income within Revenue from non-
financial activities and Non-financial expenses”, respectively and are recognised as
described in note 4.7 and note 4.9.
4.15. Financial instruments
4.15.1. Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party
to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the
financial asset expire, or when the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards
are transferred.
A financial liability is derecognised when it is extinguished, discharged, cancelled or expires.
4.15.2. Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Financial assets are initially measured at fair value, adjusted for transaction costs, except for
financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and trade receivables that do not contain a
significant financial component. The initial measurement of financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss is not adjusted with transaction costs that are reported as current
expenses. The initial measurement of trade receivables that do not contain a significant
financial component represents the transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15.
Depending on the method of subsequent measurement, financial assets are classified into the
following categories:
Debt instruments at amortised cost;
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL);
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) with or
without reclassification in profit or loss, depending on whether they are debt or equity
instruments.
The classification is determined by both:
the entity’s business model for managing the financial asset;
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
All income and expenses related to financial assets that are recognized in profit and loss are
included in positive and negative differences with financial instruments in the separate
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Chimimport AD

4.15.3. Subsequent measurement of financial assets
Financial assets at amortised cost
Financial assets are measured at amortised cost if the assets meet the following conditions
and are not designated as FVTPL:
they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets
and collect its contractual cash flows;
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
This category includes non-derivative financial assets like loans and receivables with fixed or
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial recognition, these
are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted
where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade
and other financial receivables, and listed bonds fall into this category of financial instruments.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods or services sold in the ordinary
course of business. Typically, they are due to be settled within a short timeframe and are
therefore classified as current. Trade receivables are initially recognised at amortized cost
unless they contain significant financial components. The Company holds trade receivables
for the purpose of collecting the contractual cash flows and therefore measures them at
amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of
discounting is immaterial.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
Financial assets that are held within a different business model than “hold to collect” or “hold
to collect and sell”, and financial assets whose contractual cash flows are not solely payments
of principal and interest are accounted for at FVTPL.
Assets in this category are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognised in profit or
loss. The fair values of financial assets in this category are determined by reference to active
market transactions or using a valuation technique where no active market exists.
Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI)
The Company accounts for financial assets at FVOCI if the assets meet the following
conditions:
they are held under a business model whose objective it is “hold to collect” the
associated cash flows and sell; and
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely
payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
The financial assets at FVOCI include:
Equity securities that are not held for trading and which at initial recognition the
company irrevocably has chosen to recognise in this category.
Debt securities where the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and
interest, and the purpose of the company's business model is achieved both by
collecting contractual cash flows and by selling the financial assets.
On disposal of equity instruments of this category, any amount recognised in the revaluation
reserve is reclassified to retained earnings.
On disposal of debt instruments of this category, any amount recognised in the revaluation
reserve is reclassified to profit or loss for the period.

4.15.4. Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9’s impairment requirements use forward-looking information to recognise expected
credit losses the “expected credit loss” (ECL) model.
Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included loans and other debt-type
financial assets measured at amortised cost/ FVOCI, trade receivables, and loan
commitments and some financial guarantee contracts (for the issuer) that are not measured
at fair value through profit or loss.
Recognition of credit losses is no longer dependent on the Company first identifying a credit
loss event. Instead, the Company considers a broader range of information when assessing
credit risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions,
reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash
flows of the instrument.
In applying this forward-looking approach, a distinction is made between:
financial instruments that have not deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial
recognition or that have low credit risk (Stage 1) and
financial instruments that have deteriorated significantly in credit quality since initial
recognition and whose credit risk is not low (Stage 2)
Stage 3 would cover financial assets that have objective evidence of impairment at the
reporting date.
“12-month expected credit losses” are recognised for the first category while “lifetime expected
credit losses” are recognised for the second category. Expected credit losses are determined
as the difference between all contractual cash flows attributable to the Company and the cash
flows it is actually expected to receive (“cash shortfall”). This difference is discounted at the
original effective interest rate (or credit adjusted effective interest rate).
The new accounting policy regarding financial assets was implemented in 2022 and includes
a supplemented model for the formation of expected credit losses of the company, based on
accepted collateral, reported cash flows and an amended supplemented definition of default.
To determine the risk of default and to change its accounting policy, the Company uses the
guidelines of Regulation (EU) No. 575/2013 and Guidelines EBA/GL/2016/07 on the
application of the definition of default according to Article 178 of Regulation (EU) No. 575
/2013, applies a definition of non-performing is in accordance with the definition of the
European Banking Authority (EBA) for non-performing exposure. The accounting definition of
default is consistent with that used for credit risk management and internal reporting purposes.
A financial asset is considered credit impaired when one or more events have occurred that
have a negative impact on the expected future cash flows of this exposure:
The borrower experiences significant financial difficulties and is unable to pay his
obligations without realizing the collateral, regardless of the presence of overdue
amounts and days in arrears
There is a breach of contract, with the exposure categorized as "in default"
The company, for economic or contractual reasons related to the counterparty's
deteriorating financial condition, has provided discounts that it would not have made
under other circumstances
There is a possibility that the borrower will become insolvent.
The review of the indicators and the evaluation of the exposures is carried out on a quarterly
basis, and the relevant decisions are taken by the management of the Company.
The impairment of financial assets in Phase 1 is calculated on the basis of "expected credit
losses for 12 months", and for financial assets in Phase 2 and Phase 3 - on the basis of
Chimimport AD
Separate Financial Statements
31 December 2025
20
"expected credit losses for the entire term of the financial asset". Financial assets in Phase 3
are considered assets with objective evidence of impairment.
For the purposes of determining the impairment of financial assets, the Company applies
models for calculating expected credit losses on an individual basis. Impairment models of
individually valued financial assets are applied to debt financial assets that represent loans
granted with unique characteristics, regardless of their size.
The impairment models of the individually assessed exposures are based on the discounted
cash flows and reflect the expectations for the realized cash flows, including the available
reasonable and reasoned information, accessible without incurring excessive costs or efforts,
which concerns future events /including macroeconomic forecasts/.
The financial asset impairment model is based on determining probability of default (PD) and
loss given default (LGD) values for each collectively assessed asset, applying amortization at
the effective interest rate (EIR) in calculating the exposure at default (EAD).
The Company recognizes in profit or loss - as an impairment gain or loss - the amount of
expected credit losses (or reversals) incurred during the period, measured by the difference
between the credit loss allowance at the review date and the previous review date. The
provision for expected credit losses is presented as a reduction of the carrying amount of the
financial asset in the statement of financial position.
Measurement of the expected credit losses is determined by a probability-weighted estimate
of credit losses over the expected life of the financial instrument.
Trade and other receivables
The Company uses a simplified approach in determining expected credit losses on trade and
other receivables and recognizes an impairment loss as expected credit losses over the life of
the receivables. Losses represent the expected shortfall in contractual cash flows, given the
possibility of default at any point during the term of the financial instrument. The Company
uses its accumulated experience, external indicators and long-term information to calculate
expected credit losses by analysing the term structure of receivables.
4.15.5. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include borrowings and trade and other financial liabilities.
Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for
transaction costs unless the Company designated a financial liability at fair value through profit
or loss.
Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method except for derivatives and financial liabilities designated at FVTPL.
All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument’s fair value that are
reported in profit or loss are included within finance costs or finance income.
4.15.6. Financial liabilities
The Company's financial liabilities include bank borrowings, overdrafts, trade and other
liabilities.
Financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
agreements for payment of cash amounts or another financial asset to another company or
contractual liability for exchange of financial instruments with another company under
unfavourable terms. All interest-related charges and, if applicable, changes in an instrument's
fair value that are reported in profit or loss are included within “Losses from transactions with
financial instrumentsor “Gains from transactions with securities and investments, “Interest
income” and “ Interest expence”.
Chimimport AD

Financial liabilities are measured subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest
method, except for financial liabilities held for trading or designated at fair value through profit
or loss, that are carried subsequently at fair value with gains or losses recognized in profit or
loss.
Bank loans are raised for support of long-term funding of the Company’s operations. They are
recognized in the separate statement of financial position of the Company, net of any costs.
Finance charges, including premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue
costs, are charged to the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
on an accrual basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount
of the financial liability to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise.
Trade payables are recognized initially at their nominal value and subsequently measured at
amortized cost less settlement payments.
Dividends payable to shareholders are recognized when the dividends are approved at the
general meeting of the shareholders.
4.16. Income taxes
Tax expense recognised in profit or loss comprises the sum of deferred tax and current tax
not recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current income tax assets and/or liabilities comprise those obligations to, or claims from, fiscal
authorities relating to the current or prior reporting periods, that are unpaid at the reporting
date. Current tax is payable on taxable profit, which differs from profit or loss in the financial
statements. Calculation of current tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences
between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred
tax is not provided on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related transaction
affects tax or accounting profit.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated, without discounting, at tax rates that are
expected to apply to their respective period of realization, provided they are enacted or
substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax liabilities are always provided for in full.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be able to be
utilized against future taxable income. For management’s assessment of the probability of
future taxable income to utilize against deferred tax assets, see note 4.21.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a right and intention
to set off current tax assets and liabilities from the same taxation authority.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax income or
expense in profit or loss, except where they relate to items that are recognised in other
comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also
recognised in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
4.17. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, current bank accounts and demand

Share premium includes any premiums received on issue of share capital. Any transaction
costs associated with the issuing of shares are deducted from share premium, net of any
related income tax benefits.
The other reserves are formed based on the requirements of the Commercial Act for the
formation of legal reserves.
Retained earnings include all current and prior period retained profits and uncovered losses.
All transactions with owners of the Company are recorded separately within the separate
statements of changes in equity.
4.19. Post-employment benefits and short-term employee benefits
The Company reports short-term payables relating to unutilized paid leaves, which shall be
compensated in case it is expected the leaves to occur within 12 months after the end of the
accounting period during which the employees have performed the work related to those
leaves. The short-term payables to personnel include wages, salaries and related social
security payments.
In accordance with Labour Code requirements, in case of retirement, after the employee has
gained the legal right of pension due to years of services and age, the Company is obliged to
pay him/her compensation at the amount of up to six gross wages.
The liability recognized in the separate statement of financial position for defined benefit plans
represents the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period,
including adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and service costs.
Management estimates the defined benefit obligation annually with the assistance of
independent actuaries. The estimate of its post-retirement benefit obligations is based on
standard rates of inflation, salary growth rate and mortality. Discount factors are determined
close to each year-end by reference to high quality corporate bonds
Actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the other comprehensive income.
Interest expenses related to pension obligations are included in “Interest expenses” in the
separate statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income. All other post-employment
benefit expenses are included in “Non-financial expenses”.
Short-term employee benefits, including holiday entitlement, are current liabilities included in
“Pension and other employee obligations”, measured at the undiscounted amount that the
Company expects to pay as a result of the unused entitlement.
4.20. Provision, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
Provisions are recognized when present obligations as a result of a past event will probably
lead to an outflow of economic resources from the Company and amounts can be estimated
reliably. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises
from the presence of a legal or constructive commitment that has resulted from past events.
Restructuring provisions are recognized only if a detailed formal plan for the restructuring has
been developed and implemented, or management has at least announced the plan’s main
features to those affected by it. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Provisions are measured at the estimated expenditure required to settle the present obligation,
based on the most reliable evidence available at the reporting date, including the risks and
uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Where there are a number of similar
obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by
considering the class of obligations as a whole. Provisions are discounted to their present
values, where the time value of money is material.

Any reimbursement that the Company can be virtually certain to collect from a third party with
respect to the obligation is recognized as a separate asset. However, this asset may not
exceed the amount of the related provision.
All provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimate.
In those cases, where the possible outflow of economic resources as a result of present
obligations is considered improbable or remote, no liability is recognized. Contingent liabilities
are subsequently measured at the higher of the above-described comparable provision and
initially recognized value, less accumulated amortization.
Possible inflows of economic benefits to the Company that do not yet meet the recognition
criteria of an asset are considered contingent assets.
4.21. Significant management judgement in applying accounting policies
The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of
the Company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements. Critical
estimation uncertainties are described in note 4.22.
Management bases its judgments, estimates and assumptions on historical experience and
various other factors, including expectations of future events that management believes are
reasonable under the circumstances. The resulting accounting estimates and estimates will
rarely be the same as the related actual results. The estimates, estimates and assumptions
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
4.21.1. Deferred tax assets
The assessment of the probability of future taxable income in which deferred tax assets can
be utilized is based on the Company’s latest approved budget forecast, which is adjusted for
significant non-taxable income and expenses and specific limits to the use of any unused tax
loss or credit. If a positive forecast of taxable income indicates the probable use of a deferred
tax asset, especially when it can be utilized without a time limit, that deferred tax asset is
usually recognised in full. The recognition of deferred tax assets that are subject to certain
legal or economic limits or uncertainties is assessed individually by management based on
the specific facts and circumstances.
4.21.2. Debt instruments measures at amortised value
The management’s analysis and intentions are confirmed by the business model of holding
debt instruments that meet the requirements for receiving solely payments of principal and
interest and holding assets only until the collection of the agreed cash flows of the bonds that
are classified as debt instruments carried at amortized cost. This solution is in line with the
current liquidity and capital of the Company.
4.21.3. Control over the subsidiaries
Note 7 describes that Central Cooperative Bank AD, Armeec Insurance Joint Stock Company
and Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Plc are subsidiaries of the Company, although it
directly owns less than 50% of the voting rights in each of them, but indirectly the control in
each of the mentioned is more than 50%. According to a transfer of control agreement, the
Company exercises 86.27% control over JSC Investment Cooperative Bank in the amount of
86.27%.

4.22. Estimation uncertainty
When preparing the financial statements management undertakes a number of judgements,
estimates and assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income
and expenses.
The actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by
management, and will seldom equal the estimated results.
In preparing the presented separate financial statements, the significant judgments of
management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the main sources of
uncertainty of accounting estimates do not differ from those disclosed in the Company's
annual financial statements as of 31 December 2024.
Information about significant judgements, estimates and assumptions that have the most
significant effect on recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses
are discussed below.
4.22.1. Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s or cash-generating unit's
carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs
to sell and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected
future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a suitable interest rate in
order to calculate the present value of those cash flows (see note 4.13).
In calculating expected future cash flows, management makes assumptions about future
gross profits. These assumptions relate to future events and circumstances, some of which
are beyond the entity's control. Actual results may differ and require significant adjustments to
the Company's assets in the next reporting year.
Towards the end of the reporting period, the Company performed the annual test to determine
whether the book value of the investments does not exceed their recoverable value,
considering factors that affect the economic environment in which the subsidiaries operate.
As at the end of 2025, these factors are mostly related to still unrecovered sales rates
(compared to pre-pandemic periods), inflationary pressures during the beginning of the year,
increased interest rates compared to previous periods, forecasts of a slowdown in economic
growth and even a recession.
The specifics of the activity of each company, the plans and forecasts for their development
and the potential effects of the existing macroeconomic situation, which could be significantly
influenced by the current geopolitical tension, are also considered. The investments are in
companies in the aviation industry, which was one of the hardest hits by the covid pandemic
and is currently also heavily affected by military conflicts.
Despite the gradual recovery, as well as the improved performance of airlines, air traffic levels
in 2022 are still below those before the start of the pandemic In addition to this, the geopolitical
uncertainty arising from the war in Ukraine, the imposed bans on the entry of aircraft from
Russia and the suspension of travel to and from Russia had a direct impact on the operations
of subsidiaries and associates, as part of their revenues were realized from flights,
passengers, service of such arriving and departing from/to the Russian Federation.
All these factors still have an impact on the growth rate of aviation revenue and related cash
flows. The management's assessment also considered the effects of the measures taken by
the management, as well as the continued support from the sole owner of the Group.
Management has also used valuation methods based on the net asset value of subsidiaries.
The results of the performed tests show that the book value of the investments does not
exceed their recoverable amount and therefore no impairment losses were recognized during
Chimimport AD
Separate Financial Statements
31 December 2025
25
the reporting period. In determining the applicable discount factor, an adjustment has been
made in relation to market risk, the uncertain business environment and risk factors that are
specific to individual enterprises - units generating cash flows. Management's conclusions are
further supported by valuations of an independent external valuer based on a combination of
investment methods, for which it was deemed necessary to apply different valuation methods.
4.22.2. Measuring the expected credit losses
Credit losses are the difference between all contractual cash flows due to the Company and
all cash flows that the Company expects to receive. Expected credit losses are a probability-
weighted estimate of credit losses that require the Company’s judgment. Expected credit
losses are discounted at the original effective interest rate (or the credit-adjusted effective
interest rate for purchased or initially created financial assets with credit impairment).
4.22.3. Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews the useful lives of depreciable assets at each reporting date. At 31
December 2025 management assesses that the useful lives represent the expected utility of
the assets to the Company. The carrying amounts are analysed in note 5. Actual results,
however, may vary due to technical obsolescence.
4.22.4. Defined benefit liability
Management estimates the defined benefit liability annually with the assistance of
independent actuaries; however, the actual outcome may vary due to estimation uncertainties.
The estimate of its defined benefit liability BGN 31 thousand (2024: BGN 40 thousand) is
based on standard rates of inflation, medical cost trends and mortality. It also takes into
account the Company’s specific anticipation of future salary increases. Discount factors are
determined at the end of each year taking into account the yields on government bonds.
4.22.5. Fair value measurement
Management uses techniques to estimate the fair value of financial instruments in the absence
of quoted prices in an active market. Details of the assumptions used are presented in the
notes to financial assets and liabilities. In applying valuation techniques, management uses to
the maximum extent market data and assumptions that market participants would adopt in
valuing a given financial instrument. When applicable market data is lacking, management
uses its best estimate of assumptions that market participants would make. These estimates
may differ from the actual prices that would have been determined in a fair market transaction
between informed and willing parties at the end of the reporting period and may be affected
by economic uncertainty related to the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and
conflict in Middle East.
When estimating the fair value of non-financial assets, the Company's management applies
valuation techniques referring to the maximum extent to market data and assumptions that
market participants would adopt when valuing the asset. The Company's investment
properties, assessed at fair value, amount to TBGN 30 108 as of 31.12.2025they are classified
in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These estimates may differ from the actual prices that
would have been determined in a fair market transaction between informed and willing parties
at the end of the reporting period.
When an asset or liability, financial or non-financial, is measured at fair value for recognition
or disclosure purposes, the fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in a transaction between market participants to the date of
measurement; and assumes that the transaction will take place either: on the main market; or
in the absence of a primary market, the most profitable market.
Chimimport AD
Separate Financial Statements
31 December 2025

Fair value is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use in
determining the price of the asset or liability, assuming that they were acting in their economic
interest. For non-financial assets, the fair value measurement is based on its highest and best
use. Valuation techniques are used that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which
sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable
inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into three levels using a fair value
hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements.
Classifications are reviewed at each reporting date and transfers between levels are
determined based on a reassessment of the lowest level of inputs relevant to the fair value
measurement.
For periodic and non-recurring fair value measurements, external appraisers may be used
when internal expertise is either not available or when the estimate is considered significant.
External evaluators are selected based on market knowledge and reputation. When there is a
significant change in the fair value of an asset or liability from one period to another, an
analysis is performed that includes a review of the key inputs used in the most recent valuation
and a comparison, where applicable, with external data sources
4.22.6. Macroeconomic framework and the military conflict in Ukraine and Middle East
In 2025, the Company’s financial statements reflect adjustments aligned with a
macroeconomic environment characterized by moderate real GDP growth in Bulgaria of
approximately 2.8% to 3.2%, alongside a deceleration of annual inflation to 3.3% by early
2026. While the European Central Bank maintained key interest rates unchanged at the end
of Q1 2026, 2025 forecasts anticipated average inflation in the eurozone of 2.1%, maintaining
stable yet elevated financing costs. Geopolitical tensions in Ukraine and the Middle East
continued to exert indirect pressure through volatility in producer prices, which rose by 5.9%
in January 2026, reflecting increased production costs in the extractive sector.
In this complex context, the Company’s management performed a comprehensive risk
assessment, which confirmed that no additional corrective measures were required for the
current reporting period. Due to the conservative policy adopted and the significant
impairments recognized in 2022, the Company’s assets are valued at levels that do not require
new provisions in 2025 related to the identified geopolitical factors. The substantial
adjustments made three years ago provided a sufficient financial buffer, enabling the holding
to mitigate the impact of prevailing uncertainties without adversely affecting the final financial
results. Accordingly, the 2025 reporting demonstrates financial resilience grounded in realistic
valuations and strategic risk planning under condition of global economic fragmentation..

No improvements were made to the investment properties in 2025 and 2024. For 2025, the
Company has realized rental income in the amount of TBGN 484 thousand (2024 TBGN
450 thousand) included within ‘Revenue from non-financial activities’ in the separate
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income note 23. They include variable
lease payments that do not depend on an index or variable interest rates.
The contracts with tenants are concluded for a period of 1 year and are renegotiated at the
end of each year, in case of agreement by both parties, for a period of another year.
Investment properties are not pledged as collateral for loans.
Investment properties are leased under operating lease agreements.
The decrease in the value of investment properties reported in 2025 in amount of TBGN - 14
is mainly due to a change in expectations regarding future cash flows from renting out the
building. For information on determining the fair value of investment properties, see note 35.2.
The terms of the lease agreements are negotiated separately for each contract and therefore
each contract should be considered on its own merits. The lease agreements do not contain
the requirement to comply with specific financial indicators or other requirements, other than
the lessor’s ownership right

34. Financial instrument risks
Risk management objectives and policies
The Company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The Company's
financial assets and liabilities by category are summarized in note 33. The main types of risks
are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company's risk management is coordinated at its headquarters, in close co-operation
with the managing board and focuses on actively securing the Company's short to medium-
term cash flows by minimizing the exposure to financial markets. Long-term financial
investments are managed to generate lasting returns.

34.1. Market risk analysis
As a result of the use of financial instruments, the Company is exposed to market risk and in
particular to the risk of changes in the exchange rate, interest rate risk and risk of changes in
specific prices due to the operating and investing activities of the Company.
34.1.1 Foreign currency risk
Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Bulgarian leva (BGN). Exposures to
currency exchange rates arise from the Company's foreign sales and purchases, denominated
in Euro and US-Dollars.
To mitigate the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk, non-BGN cash flows are
monitored, and forward exchange contracts are entered into in accordance with Company’s
risk management policies. Generally, Company’s risk management procedures distinguish
short-term foreign currency cash flows (due within 6 months) from longer-term cash flows.
Where the amounts to be paid and received in a specific currency are expected to largely
offset one another, no further hedging activity is undertaken.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Company to
currency risk are disclosed below. The amounts shown are those reported to key management
translated into Bulgarian leva at the closing rate:

The table below shows the sensitivity of the net financial result for the period after tax and the
other components of equity in relation to the Company's financial assets and liabilities to the
exchange rate of the US dollar and the Bulgarian lev, other things being equal.
The table assumes that the percentage change as of December 31, 2025, in the exchange
rate of the Bulgarian lev against the US dollar is as follows
+/- 7,7% (2024: 2,6%). These percentages are determined based on the volatility of the
average exchange rates for the last 12 months. The sensitivity analysis is based on the
receivables and payables of the Company held as of the date of the separate financial
statements. If the exchange rate of the Bulgarian lev against the US dollar
increases/decreases by +/-7,7% (2024: +/- 2,6%), the change will be reflected as follows

Exposure to the risk of changes in exchange rates varies throughout the year depending on
the volume of international transactions performed. However, the analysis presented above is
considered to represent the extent of the Company's exposure to currency risk.
The table assumes that the percentage change as of December 31, 2025 in the exchange
rate of the Bulgarian lev against the Russian ruble is as follows:
+/- 0.1%. These percentages are determined based on the volatility of the average exchange
rates for the last 12 months. The sensitivity analysis is based on the receivables and payables
of the Company held as of the date of the separate financial statements. If the exchange rate
of the Bulgarian lev against the Russian ruble increases/decreases by +/-0.1%, the change
will be reflected as follows
The exposure to risk from changes in exchange rates varies during the year depending on the
volume of international transactions. However, it is considered that the analysis presented
above represents the extent of the Company's exposure to currency risk.
34.1.2 Interest risk
The Company's policy is to minimize interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term
financing. Therefore, long-term debt is usually with fixed interest rates. As at 31 December
2024, the bank's variable-rate bank borrowings do not expose the Company to material
interest rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities of the Company are at fixed interest
rates.
34.1.3Other price risk
The Company is exposed to other price risk in respect of the following direct investments in
subsidiaries, the shares of which are listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange AD:
Central Cooperative Bank ADsubsidiary;
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Plc. subsidiary;
Zyrneni Hrani Bulgaria AD subsidiary
Investments in shares of subsidiaries traded on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange are held as
long-term and short-term strategic investments. In accordance with the Company's policy, no
specific hedging activities were carried out in connection with these investments. The
performance of these companies is monitored on a regular basis and control or significant
influence over these companies is used to maintain the value of investments in these
companies.
34.2 Credit risk analysis
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The
Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example by granting
loans and receivables to customers, placing deposits, etc. The Company's maximum
exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at the
reporting date, as summarized below:

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified
either individually or by group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls.
The Company's policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. The Company's
management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due
for each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality. None of the Company’s
financial assets are pledged as collateral on other transactions.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit
risk exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar
characteristics. Trade receivables consist of large number of customers in various industries
and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates
management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired
to be good.
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, debentures and derivate
financial instruments is considered negligible since the counterparties are reputable banks
with high quality external credit ratings. The carrying amounts disclosed above are the
Company’s maximum possible risk exposure in relation to these financial instruments.
34.3 Liquidity risk analysis
Liquidity risk is the risk arising from the Company not being able to meet its obligations. The
Company manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for
long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day
business. Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-
week basis, as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs
for a 180-day and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly. Net cash requirements are
compared to available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls.
This analysis shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the
lookout period.
The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a
minimum. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount
of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.
As at 31 December 2025 the Company's liabilities have contractual maturities (including
interest payments where applicable) as summarized below:

reporting date.
Financial assets used for managing liquidity risk
The Company considers expected cash flows from financial assets in assessing and
managing liquidity risk, in particular its cash resources and trade receivables. The Company's
existing cash resources and trade receivables significantly exceed the current cash outflow
requirements. Cash flows from trade and other receivables are all contractually due within 1
year.

The following table presents financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the
separate statement of financial position in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. This
hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of
inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value
hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable
for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from
prices); and
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).
The level within which the financial asset is classified is determined based on the lowest level
of significant input to the fair value measurement.
The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the separate statement of financial
position are grouped into the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Chimimport AD

When determining the fair value of financial instruments at Level 3, the Company uses
independent appraisers and financial analysts. The approaches used to determine the fair
value are the income approach and/or the market approach.
The following methods were used in determining fair value:
Market approach
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method
The unobservable sources of information for determining the fair value are coefficients for
comparative evaluation of the estimated profit based on the ratio of economic value to
operating profit, expected future cash flows generated by the instrument, determination of an
adjusted discount rate constructed on the basis of similar issuers, adjusted by additional risk
premium, taking into account the specifics of the issuer and other unobserved market data.
Debt instruments are valued at fair value, based on information classified in level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy. The valuation technique used is the discounted cash flow method. Here, the
discount rate is formed by the yield of similar government securities, adjusted by a risk
premium reflecting the risk of the respective issuer. The specified total risk premium is formed
by the premium upgrade method (yield to maturity on an analogue issue having similar
characteristics, adjusted by an additional default premium reflecting the risk of the respective
issuer).
The following table presents the relationship between key unobservable inputs and fair values
for different valuation techniques.

Material unobserved data are related to the correction for factors specific to the Company's
land and buildings as well as assumptions about expected cash flows, discount rate and
others. The degree and direction of this correction depends on the number and characteristics
of observed market transactions with similar properties that were used for the purposes of the
assessment. If the market prices of the properties used for the comparison rise, as well as
with an increase in cash flows and a decrease in the discount rate, the value of the properties
will increase.
36. Capital management policies and procedures
The Company's capital management objectives are:
to ensure the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; and
to provide an adequate return to the shareholder by pricing products and services
commensurately with the level of risk.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the correlation between capital and net debt.
The Company determines the capital based on the carrying amount of equity included in the
separate statement of financial position. Net debt comprises of total liabilities less the carrying
amount of cash and cash equivalents.
The objective of the Company is to maintain a ratio of capital to net debt at levels which would
ensure relevant and conservative ratio of financing.
The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts according to changes in the
economic conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust
the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The amount of the correlation for the presented accounting periods is summarized as follows:

37. Post-reporting date events
No other significant adjusting and other non-adjusting events have occurred between the date
of the separate financial statements and the date of their approval by management on 31
March 2026 for publication.
According to the Law on the Introduction of the Euro in the Republic of Bulgaria, as of 01
January 2026, the official currency and legal tender in the Republic of Bulgaria is the euro.
The fixed exchange rate is 1.95583 leva for 1 euro. The introduction of the euro as the official
currency in the Republic of Bulgaria represents a change in the functional currency, which will
be accounted for prospectively and does not constitute an adjusting event after the date of the
financial statements.

Since the end of February, there has been an escalation of tensions related to the conflict in
Iran, which contributes to increased geopolitical uncertainty in the region and at a global level.
The potential consequences of these events include increased volatility in energy markets,
additional fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and increased uncertainty about
future economic conditions. Management is monitoring the development of the situation and
has taken into account the available information in preparing the accounting estimates and
assumptions; at present, no need for adjustments to the financial statements has been
identified, beyond the disclosures made.

In the current globalized and highly competitive environment, one of the pillars of the Company's
strategic management is the focus on the financial dimension of the value associated with
intangible resources.
In order to create sustainable long-term advantages, we analyze the key issues related to the
management of intangible resources by applying practices for their identification and
measurement.
Investments in subsidiaries here the emphasis is on rationalization of activities at an
individual level, through their permanent financing, with the aim of investing in
modernization, technology and other
These resources can be autonomously measured and transferred:
Internal resources the focus is on the distinctive and professional skills of employees,
the characteristic knowledge concerning the Company, as well as their willingness to
engage in the processes to achieve the defined long-term goals of the Company.
External - company resources the focus is on creating, maintaining and improving long-
term relationships with partners in the form of customers, suppliers and contractors, in
order to exchange experience, ideas, improve the quality and sustainability of the supply
of services, goods, as well as any potential benefits for the parties involved

These resources cannot be autonomously measured and transferred, but they contribute to
promoting and integrating value.
Chimimport AD has focused its efforts on the management of its subsidiaries and associates. The
Company, as well as the main subsidiaries of the group, apply additional incentives and benefits
to its employees, which are above the legally required, respectively non-financial key performance
indicators, as well as a non-financial statement will be included in the consolidated non-financial
statement in the consolidated activity report. Direct expenses in the field of research and
development were not incurred by the Company in 2025, but on a consolidated basis some of the
Companies in the group have engagement in these areas. Within the period of 2025, the Company
did not trade its own shares and holds 11 own shares, representing 0.000005%, acquired in an
initial public offering. The Company does not have branches.
In 2026, the Company will continue to manage and direct its investments towards achieving even
better levels of quality in the services and products offered by all sectors of the group, despite the
challenges posed by the new European situation, in the context of the war in Ukraine and the
subsequent economic repercussions and forecasts. The Company's management analyzes,
based on hypotheses, the possible effects on the financial position of the Company. At the time of
preparation of this report, the Company's management has identified areas of business related to
Russia and Ukraine, but at this stage, no direct effects have been identified during the
assessment, requiring additional measures and costs other than current measures to be taken.
The company at this stage should not prepare a sustainability report according to the EFRAG
standards and the additionally adopted changes within the fourth quarter of 2025, as it meets only
one of the three criteria set, namely a balance sheet figure of over 20 million euros, and the first
reporting period for which Chimimport AD should include a sustainability report is 2027.
Given Bulgaria's commitments to the EU to comply with the Paris Agreement and other regulatory
acts related to these aspects of economic development, the Company's Management intends to
implement a continuous review, assessment and analysis of corporate sustainability and finance,
oriented towards environmental, social and governance issues, in order to provide transparency
to investors regarding the impact of the Company's activities on these issues, in accordance with
the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), the EU Sustainable Finance Disclosure
Regulation (SFDR) and the Unfair Commercial Practices Directive (UCPD).
Already in 2024, for outlined directions of focus observations on the determining factors for
sustainable development. Emphasis is placed on the following categories:
Climatic indicators:
Greenhouse gases - emissions
Consumption and production from/of non-renewable energy sources
Activity in the sector of coal mining and other fossil fuels
Activity in areas vulnerable to biological diversity
Generation of hazardous waste and tons of emissions into the waters

Social indicators:
Policies on UN Principles and Global Compact issues
Gender pay disparity
Good health and well-being of employees
Decent work and economic growth
Other indicators related to responsible consumption, production and provision of services.
On the above-outlined highlights, no serious discrepancies were found, and on many of the groups
of indicators it is assumed that the company is either not affected or fulfills them according to the
standards outlined in the normative acts.
All 12 national goals for sustainable development 2030 were also examined, and the company
works and contributes to all the goals affecting it.
During the current period, the Company's contribution was primarily aimed at Goal - Quality
education, by providing the opportunity for all its employees to upgrade or acquire academic
degrees in leading Bulgarian universities, and 10% of them have benefited.
Legislators, regulators and users of non-financial information are currently paying a lot of attention
to climate change. The EU has adopted the European Green Deal to transition to a more
sustainable economic and financial system, and in the coming years detailed climate change
reporting requirements will become applicable as part of European sustainability reporting
standards under the upcoming Corporate Reporting Directive.
Risks induced by climate changes may have future adverse effects on the Company’s business
activities. These risks include transition risks (e.g., regulatory changes and reputational risks) and
physical risks. How the subsidiaries and associated companies of the Group operate their
businesses may be affected by new regulatory constraints on the CO2 emissions it generates.
Some of the subsidiaries and associated companies are engaged in purchasing emission
allowances according to Directive 2003/87/EC, ETS Directive - last amended by Directive (EU)
2018/410, thereby making a significant contribution to reducing the risks of carbon displacement
emissions and are stimulating decarbonisation, through the inclusion of benchmarks for free
allocation of emissions based on the performance of the best performing enterprises in a given
sector. This aims to encourage efficient operators to improve their performance while rewarding
those who achieve good results.
The company on an individual level is not directly affected by climate risks, mainly due to the fact
that it operates as a holding company and the main activity is aimed at qualitative and quantitative
increase in the volume of projects in all sectors in which the companies of its Group operate,
development of modern, management strategies and their immediate implementation through its
subsidiaries. Concrete reflections of climate change could materialize in the amount of dividend
income received by subsidiaries and associated companies that operate in the highly affected
sectors from the point of view of sustainable development and its three main pillars. At the
moment, most companies in the group of the most vulnerable segments have established and
detailed measures to overcome changes of a climatic nature, as well as ways to reach the NetZero
level of carbon emissions.

The activity of Chimimport AD is in accordance with the minimum limits under Art. 18 of
Regulation/EU/2020/852 of the EP and of the Council and respects the principle "of not causing
significant damage".
The effects of climate change can be in the context of two perspectives - the impact that a business
can have through its activity on the climate, and the impact that climate change can have on its
economic activity.
The activity of Chimimport AD has no direct impact on the environment. Regarding the second
perspective, the effect would be indirect through the impact on the activities of subsidiaries and
associated enterprises and respectively the income from dividends and administrative
management services of the Company.
In the event of climate change actions in the future directly affecting the business, Chimimport AD
undertakes to analyse the impact on the climate and reduce its carbon emissions, if any, by 50%
by 2030 and to be carbon neutral no later than 2050.
Consistent with the prior year, as at 31 December 2025, the Company has not identified significant
risks induced by climate changes that could negatively and materially affect the Company’s
financial statements. Management continuously assesses the impact of climate-related matters.
Assumptions could change in the future in response to forthcoming environmental regulations,
new commitments taken and changing consumer demand. These changes, if not anticipated,
could have an impact on the Company’s future cash flows, financial performance and financial
position.

According to the Law on the Introduction of the Euro in the Republic of Bulgaria, as of 01 January
2026, the official currency and legal tender in the Republic of Bulgaria is the euro. The fixed
exchange rate is 1.95583 leva for 1 euro. The introduction of the euro as the official currency in
the Republic of Bulgaria represents a change in the functional currency, which will be accounted
for prospectively and does not constitute an adjusting event after the date of the financial
statements.
Since the end of February, there has been an escalation of tensions related to the conflict in Iran,
which contributes to increased geopolitical uncertainty in the region and at a global level. The
potential consequences of these events include increased volatility in energy markets, additional
fluctuations in the macroeconomic environment and increased uncertainty about future economic
conditions. Management is monitoring the development of the situation and has taken into account
the available information in preparing the accounting estimates and assumptions; at present, no
need for adjustments to the financial statements has been identified, beyond the disclosures
made.

GENERAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENT RISKS
The Company is exposed to various risks in relation to financial instruments. The main types
of risks are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company's risk management is
coordinated at its headquarters, in close co-operation with the managing board and focuses
on actively securing the Company's short to medium-term cash flows by minimizing the
exposure to financial markets. Long-term financial investments are managed to generate
lasting returns.
As a result of the use of financial instruments, the Company is exposed to market risk and in
particular to the risk of changes in the exchange rate, interest rate risk and risk of changes in
specific prices due to the operating and investing activities of the Company.
MARKET RISK ANALYSIS
Foreign currency risk
Most of the Company’s transactions are carried out in Bulgarian leva (BGN). Exposures to
currency exchange rates arise from the Company's foreign sales and purchases, denominated
in Euro and US-Dollars. To mitigate the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk, non-
BGN cash flows are monitored, and forward exchange contracts are entered into in accordance
with Company’s risk management policies. Generally, Company’s risk management
procedures distinguish short-term foreign currency cash flows (due within 6 months) from
longer-term cash flows. Where the amounts to be paid and received in a specific currency are
expected to largely offset one another, no further hedging activity is undertaken.
Foreign currency denominated financial assets and liabilities which expose the Company to
currency risk are disclosed below:

The following tables illustrate the sensitivity of post-tax financial result for the year and equity
in regard to exchange rate differences between the Bulgarian Lev (BGN) and the US Dollars
(USD) all other things being equal.
In the table, it is assumed that the percentage change as of 31 December 2025 of the
exchange rate of the Bulgarian lev against the US dollar is as follows:
ANNUAL SEPARATE ACTIVITY REPORT

+/- 7.7 % (2024: 2.6%). These percentages have been determined based on the average
market volatility in exchange rates in the previous 12 months. The sensitivity analysis is based
on the Company's foreign currency financial instruments held at each reporting date.
If the exchange rate of the Bulgarian lev against the US dollar increases/decreases
respectively by +/-7.7% (2024: +/-2.6%), the change will be reflected as follows:

Exposure to the risk of changes in exchange rates varies throughout the year depending on
the volume of international transactions performed. However, the analysis presented above is
considered to represent the extent of the Company's exposure to currency risk.
Interest risk
The Company's policy is to minimize interest rate cash flow risk exposures on long-term
financing. Therefore, long-term debt is usually with fixed interest rates. As at 31 December
2025, the bank's variable-rate bank borrowings do not expose the Company to material interest
rate risk. All other financial assets and liabilities of the Company are at fixed interest rates.
Other price risk
The Company is exposed to other price risk in respect of the following direct investments in
subsidiaries, the shares of which are listed on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange AD:
Central Cooperative Bank AD subsidiary;
Oil and Gas Exploration and Production Plc. subsidiary;
Zyrneni Hrani Bulgaria AD subsidiary
Investments in shares of subsidiaries traded on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange are held as
long-term and short-term strategic investments. In accordance with the Company's policy, no
specific hedging activities were carried out in connection with these investments. The
performance of these companies is monitored on a regular basis and control or significant
influence over these companies is used to maintain the value of investments in these
companies.

CREDIT RISK ANALYSIS
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty fails to discharge an obligation to the Company. The
Company is exposed to this risk for various financial instruments, for example by granting loans
and receivables to customers, placing deposits, etc. The Company's maximum exposure to
credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized at the reporting date,
as summarized below:

The Company continuously monitors defaults of customers and other counterparties, identified
either individually or by group, and incorporates this information into its credit risk controls. The
Company's policy is to deal only with creditworthy counterparties. The Company's
management considers that all the above financial assets that are not impaired or past due for
each of the reporting dates under review are of good credit quality. None of the Company’s
financial assets are pledged as collateral on other transactions.
In respect of trade and other receivables, the Company is not exposed to any significant credit
risk exposure to a single counterparty or any group of counterparties having similar
characteristics. Trade receivables consist of large number of customers in various industries
and geographical areas. Based on historical information about customer default rates
management consider the credit quality of trade receivables that are not past due or impaired
to be good.
The credit risk for cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, debentures and derivate
financial instruments is considered negligible since the counterparties are reputable banks with
high quality external credit ratings. The carrying amounts disclosed above are the Company’s
maximum possible risk exposure in relation to these financial instruments.

GENERAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
LIQUIDITY RISK ANALYSIS
Liquidity risk is the risk arising from the Company not being able to meet its obligations. The
Company manages its liquidity needs by monitoring scheduled debt servicing payments for
long-term financial liabilities as well as forecast cash inflows and outflows due in day-to-day
business.
Liquidity needs are monitored in various time bands, on a day-to-day and week-to-week basis,
as well as on the basis of a rolling 30-day projection. Long-term liquidity needs for a 180-day
and a 360-day lookout period are identified monthly. Net cash requirements are compared to
available borrowing facilities in order to determine headroom or any shortfalls. This analysis
shows that available borrowing facilities are expected to be sufficient over the lookout period.
The Company maintains cash to meet its liquidity requirements for 30-day periods at a
minimum. Funding for long-term liquidity needs is additionally secured by an adequate amount
of committed credit facilities and the ability to sell long-term financial assets.
As at 31 December 2025 the Company's liabilities have contractual maturities (including
interest payments where applicable) as summarized below:

This hierarchy groups financial assets and liabilities into three levels based on the significance of
inputs used in measuring the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities. The fair value
hierarchy has the following levels:
- Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
- Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices);
and
- Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).

Measurement of fair value
The methods and valuation techniques used for the purpose of measuring fair value are
unchanged compared to the previous reporting period and are as follows.
Unquoted equity and debt instruments:
When determining the fair value of financial instruments at Level 3, the Company uses
independent appraisers and financial analysts. The approaches used to determine the fair value
are the income approach and/or the market approach.
The following methods were used in determining fair value:
Market approach
Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method
The unobservable sources of information for determining the fair value are coefficients for
comparative evaluation of the estimated profit based on the ratio of economic value to operating
profit, expected future cash flows generated by the instrument, determination of an adjusted
discount rate constructed on the basis of similar issuers, adjusted by additional risk premium,
taking into account the specifics of the issuer and other unobserved market data.
Debt instruments are valued at fair value, based on information classified in level 3 of the fair value
hierarchy. The valuation technique used is the discounted cash flow method. Here, the discount
rate is formed by the yield of similar government securities, adjusted by a risk premium reflecting
the risk of the respective issuer. The specified total risk premium is formed by the premium
upgrade method (yield to maturity on an analogue issue having similar characteristics, adjusted
by an additional default premium reflecting the risk of the respective issuer).

A combination of methods was used in the valuation of investment properties comparative sales
method, real value and income method due to the specificity of the properties and the availability
of observed prices of recent transactions. Investment properties were revalued as of 31 December
2025
Significant unobserved inputs are related to the adjustment for factors specific to the Company's
land and buildings as well as assumptions about expected cash flows, discount rate, etc. The
extent and direction of this adjustment depends on the number and characteristics of observed
market transactions with similar properties that are used for the purposes of the valuation. If the
market prices of the properties used for comparison increase, as well as if cash flows increase
and the discount rate decreases, the value of the properties will increase.
Capital management policies and procedures
The Company's capital management objectives are:
to ensure the Company's ability to continue as a going concern; and
to provide an adequate return to the shareholder by pricing products and services
commensurately with the level of risk.
The Company monitors capital on the basis of the correlation between capital and net debt.
The Company determines the capital based on the carrying amount of equity included in the
separate statement of financial position.

Net debt comprises of total liabilities less the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents.
The objective of the Company is to maintain a ratio of capital to net debt at levels which would
ensure relevant and conservative ratio of financing.
The Company manages the capital structure and adjusts according to changes in the economic
conditions and the risk characteristics of the underlying assets. To maintain or adjust the capital

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the shareholders of
CHIMIMPORT AD
Sofia
Report on the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Chimimport AD (the Company), which comprise the
separate statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025 and the separate statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income, the separate statement of changes in equity and the separate
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the separate financial statements,
containing material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial
position of the Company as at 31 December 2025 and of its financial performance and its cash flows
for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS accounting standards, as adopted by the European
Union (EU).
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our
responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the
Audit of the Separate Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company
in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including
International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants (IESBA Code), applicable for audits of financial statements of public interest entities
together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to audits of financial statements of public
interest entities in Bulgaria. We have aslo fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with
these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis for our opinion.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in
our audit of the separate financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in
the context of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion
thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Investments in subsidiaries
Note 4.21 Significant management judgement in applying accounting policy, 4.22.1 Impairment of
investments in subsidiaries and 7 Investments in subsidiaries from the separate financial statements
Key audit matter
How this audit matter was addressed
during the audit
As of 31.12.2025, the investments in subsidiaries of
Chimimport AD are 843 102 thousand BGN representing
59% of the Company's assets as of 31.12.2025.
An estimate of the recoverable amount of investments in
subsidiaries requires the Company's management to
apply a significant level of judgement.
The assumptions included in the analysis for indications of
impairment of investments in subsidiaries are based on
judgements, estimates and assumptions based on
historical experience and other various factors, including
expectations of future events. The judgements and
assumptions that are included in the analysis may be
influenced by the wide range of potential economic factors
as well as by macroeconomic changes during the period
that may have an effect on the operations of subsidiaries.
The current macroeconomic environment, which results
from the combination of the effects of geopolitical risks,
volatile inflation rates and interest rates, a deteriorating
business climate and uncertainty about future
developments, poses significant challenges in forecasting
expected indicators and parameters used in determining
recoverable amount.
We identified the determination of impairment of the value
of investments in subsidiaries of the Company as a key
audit issue due to the following factors:
-
the significance of the value of investments in
subsidiaries;
- the high degree of uncertainty of accounting estimates
associated with the assumptions applied to the valuation
of investments in subsidiaries.
During our audit, the audit procedures
included, but were not limited to:
-
understanding of the process
applied by the Company's
management in identifying
indications of impairment of the
value of investments in
subsidiaries and the need to
prepare impairment tests;
-
assessments of the
appropriateness of key
assumptions about indications
of impairment, including on the
basis of the current financial
performance of subsidiaries;
-
analysis of the financial
statements, market environment
and other relevant information
about subsidiaries;
-
analysis of the assessments
and analyses made by the
management about the
presence of indications of
impairment;
-
inquiries addressed to the
Company's experts about the
processes related to the
assessment;
-
an assessment of the
completeness, accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosures in
the separate financial
statements in accordance with
the requirements of IFRS
accounting standards, adopted
by the EU.

Information Other than the Financial Statements and Auditor’s Report Thereon
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the annual
separate activity report, including Declaration for corporate governance and report for the
implementation of the remuneration policy prepared in accordance with Chapter seven from
Accountancy Act and Public Offering of Securities Act, but does not include the separate financial
statements and our auditor’s report thereon which we received prior to the date of our auditor's report.
Our opinion on the separate financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon unless specifically stated in our report and to the
extent stated.
In connection with our audit of the separate financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
separate financial statements or whether our knowledge obtained in the audit may indicate that there
is a material misstatement or otherwise the other information appears to be materially misstated.
If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial
statements in accordance with IFRS accounting standards, as adopted by the EU and for such
internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to
liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for supervising the Company’s financial reporting
process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an
auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material
if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of our audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate financial statements,
whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks,
and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT (continued)
4
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,
misrepresentations, or the override of internal control;
- obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control;
- evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;
- conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required
to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the separate financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are
based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future
events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern;
- evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements,
including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the
underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in
internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and
other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable,
related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters
that were of most significance in the audit of the separate financial statements of the current period
and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law
or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances,
we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse
consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of
such communication.
