2.
Basis of preparation of the financial statements and accounting principles.
2.1.
Applicable general framework for financial statements
The Company mantains its current accounting and prepares its financial statements in compliance with the
requirements of the Bulgarian commercial and accounting legislation.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting
Standards (IAS), published by the International Accounting Standards Board and adopted by the European Union.
As of 31 December 2022, IASs include International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs), Interpretations of the Standing Interpretations
Committee
and
Interpretations
of
the
Interpretations Committee of IFRSs. IASs are reissued each year and are valid only for the year of issue and
include all changes, as well as new standards and interpretations.
A major part of them is not applicable to the Company’s activities due to the specific matters disc
ussed in them.
2.2. Initial adoption of new and amended IFRSs that are effective for the current reporting period (in full).
The management has reviewed the changes to existing accounting standards that became effective from 1 January
2022 and believes that they do not impose significant changes to the accounting policies applied during the current
year.
(a) Initial adoption of new amendments to existing standards that become effective in the current reporting
period.
The Company has applied for the first time certain standards and amendments that are effective for annual periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The company has not applied any standard, interpretation, or amendment
that has been published but is not yet effective. These include IFRS 3 Business Combinations, IAS 16 Property,
Plant and Equipment, IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, as well as Annual
Improvements 2018-2020.
The amendments become effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022, with early adoption
permitted. The IASB has published amendments with narrow scope to IFRSs as follows:

2.2. Initial adoption of new and amended IFRSs that are effective for the current reporting period (in full)
(continued)
IFRS 3 Business Combinations (Amendments) -
updates the reference to the previous version of the Conceptual
Framework for Financial Reporting for SMEs in MSFO 3 with a reference to its current version published in
2018, with no significant changes to the accounting requirements for business combinations. These amendments
have not had an impact on the Company's financial statements.
IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (Amendments) -
prohibits companies from deducting from the cost of
acquisition of property, plant, and equipment any receipts from the sale of items produced while the asset is being
brought to the location and condition necessary for it to function as intended by management. Instead, companies
recognize these sales proceeds and related production costs in profit or loss. These amendments have not had an
impact on the Company's financial statements.
IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets (Amendments) -
specifies which costs the
entity should include when determining the price for fulfilling a contract for the purposes of assessing whether
the contract is onerous. The amendments clarify that costs directly related to a contract for the provision of goods
or services include both the entity's directly attributable costs and an allocation of costs that are directly related
to fulfilling the contract.
Annual Improvements 2018-2020 - introduce minor changes to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International
Financial Reporting Standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 41 Agriculture, and the illustrative examples
accompanying IFRS 16 Leases. These changes have not had an impact on the Company's financial statements.
IFRS 16 Leases - COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions after June 30, 2021 (Amendment)
The amendment is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021, with earlier application
permitted, including in financial statements that have not yet been approved for issue at the date of issuance of the
amendment. In March 2021, the Board amended the practical expedient in IFRS 16 that provides lessees with relief in
applying the requirements in IFRS 16 for lease modifications that result in rent concessions directly related to the COVID-
19 pandemic. Following the amendment, the practical expedient is now applicable to rent concessions in which any
reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before June 30, 2022, provided that all other
conditions for applying the practical expedient are met. These changes have not had an impact on the Company's financial
statement.
(b) Published standards that are not yet in force and have not been previously adopted.
The newly published and revised standards and their clarifications that are not yet in force as of the date of issuance of the
Company's financial statements are disclosed below. The Company intends to apply these new and revised standards and
clarifications, provided they are applicable, when they become effective.
IFRS 17
Insurance contracts
In May 2017, the IASB published IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts, a comprehensive new accounting standard for
insurance contracts that covers recognition and measurement, presentation, and disclosure. The standard becomes
effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. Early adoption is permitted provided that the
entity also applies IFRS 9 by the date it first applies IFRS 17. This is a comprehensive new accounting standard
for insurance contracts that covers recognition and measurement, presentation, and disclosure. IFRS 17 applies to
all types of insurance contracts, as well as certain guarantees and financial instruments representing investment
contracts with discretionary participation features. This standard is not applicable to the Company.

2.2. Initial adoption of new and amended IFRSs that are effective for the current reporting period (in full)

Changes to IAS 1:
Presentation of Financial Statements and Illustrative Examples for IFRS 2: Disclosure of
Accounting Policies.
In January 2021, the IASB published amendments to IAS 1 and the Practice Statement on Management
Commentary to IFRS 2
Ma
king judgements on the materiality level , providing guidance and examples to assist
entities in making materiality assessments when disclosing accounting policies. The amendments aim to support
entities in providing more useful accounting policy disclosures by:
•
• Replacing the requirement for companies to disclose their "material" accounting policies with a requirement
to disclose their "significant" accounting policies; and
•
• Adding guidance on how entities should apply the materiality concept when making decisions about
accounting policy disclosures.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023. Earlier
application of the amendments to IAS 1 is permitted to the extent that this fact is disclosed. The Company will
analyze and evaluate the effects of the new amendments on its financial condition or results of operations.
Amendments to IAS 8
Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition of
Accounting Estimates
In February 2021, the Council published amendments to IAS 8, introducing a new definition of "accounting
estimates". The amendments clarify the difference between changes in accounting estimates and changes in
accounting policies and correction of errors. They also clarify how entities use estimation techniques and input
data to develop accounting estimates.
The amended standard explains that the effects on a particular accounting estimate resulting from changes in input
data or estimation techniques represent changes in accounting estimates if they do not lead to the correction of
errors from a prior period. The Council retains the aspect of the definition of accounting estimates that changes in
accounting estimates can result from new information or new developments. The amendments take effect for
annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The company will
analyze and evaluate the effects of the amendments on its financial position or results of operations.
Amendments to IAS 12 Income taxes:
Deferred tax related to assets and liabilities arising as a result of a
transaction.
In May 2021, the Council published amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of permitted exceptions to
initial recognition under IAS 12, so they are no longer applicable to transactions that give rise to equal taxable
and tax-deductible temporary differences. The amendments clarify that when payments that settle a liability are
recognized for tax purposes, it is a matter of judgment whether those tax deductions can be attributed to the
recognized financial liability or the related asset. This judgment is important in determining whether there is a
temporary difference in the initial recognition of the asset and liability.
According to the amendments, exceptions to initial recognition are not applicable to transactions that, at initial
recognition, give rise to equal taxable and tax-deductible temporary differences. They are only applicable if the
recognition of a lease asset and lease liability (or a decommissioning liability and a component of the asset subject
to decommissioning) gives rise to taxable and tax-deductible temporary differences that are not equal.
The amendments come into effect for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The entity
must apply the amendments to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period
presented. Additionally, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, the entity must also
recognize a deferred tax asset (provided sufficient taxable profit is available) and deferred tax liability for all
deductible and taxable temporary differences related to leases and decommissioning obligations. The company
will analyze and assess the effects of the amendments on its financial position or results of operations.

(continued)
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of liabilities to current and non-current
In January 2020, the Bulgarian National Accounting Standards (NAS) published amendments to paragraphs 69 to
76 of NAS 1, which specifically address the requirements for classifying assets as current or non-current. The
amendments clarify the following:
•
"Right to defer settlement" refers to the company's ability to delay settling a liability.
•
It is required that the right to defer settlement exists at the end of the reporting period in order for a liability
to be classified as non-current.
•
Т
he classification is not affected by the probability of the company exercising its right to defer settlement.
•
Only if a derivative embedded in a convertible liability is by itself a capital instrument, the liability's
conditions will not impact its classification.
In July 2021, the Council adopted a preliminary decision to propose several amendments to the clarifications
provided in January 2020.
In particular, the Council decided to propose that if the right to deferred settlement for a period of at least twelve
months is subject to the company meeting certain conditions after the reporting date, those conditions do not affect
whether the right to deferred settlement exists at the reporting date for the purposes of classifying a liability as
current or non-current. Additional disclosure requirements will be applicable in such circumstances. The Council
also took a preliminary decision to defer the effective date to no earlier than 1 January 2024 (from 1 January
2023).
The Company shall analyse and evaluate the effects of changes over the financial statements and the results of the
activities.
Amendments to IFRS 16
Leases: Lease liabilities under lease back transactions
In September 2022, the Bulgarian National Accounting Standards Board (NASB) published amendments to IFRS
16 Leases: Lease liability in sale and leaseback transactions. The amendments are intended to enhance the
requirements that a seller-lessee uses to assess the lease liability arising from a sale and leaseback transaction
under IFRS 16, without changing the accounting for leases that are not related to these transactions. Specifically,
the seller-lessee determines the 'lease payments' or 'adjusted lease payments' in such a way as to not recognize
any profit or loss related to the right of use that it retains. However, these requirements do not prevent the seller-
lessee from recognizing any profit or loss related to the partial or full termination of the lease in the profit or loss.
The seller-lessee applies the amendment retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 for sale and leaseback
transactions entered into after the date of initial application, which is the beginning of the annual reporting period
in which the entity first applied IFRS 16.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024, with earlier application
permitted. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the European Union. The company will analyze and
evaluate the effects of the amendments on its financial position or results of operations.
Amendments in IFRS 10 and IAS 28
– Sale or contribution of assets between and onvestor and its associate
or joint venture
In December 2015, the IASB decided to defer the effective date of the amendments to a future date by which it
had finalized any amendments arising from the Council's project on the equity method of accounting. The
amendments address the conflict between IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in
Associates and Joint Ventures regarding the accounting for the loss of control of a subsidiary that is sold or
contributed to an associate or joint venture.

Basis of preparation of the financial statements and accounting principles (continued)
2.2. Initial adoption of new and amended IFRSs that are effective for the current reporting period (in full)
(continued)
The changes clarify that the full amount of profit or loss is recognized when the transfer to the associated or joint
venture includes a business as defined in IFRS 3. However, any profit or loss arising from the sale or contribution
of assets that do not constitute a business is only recognized to the extent of the investors' non-controlling interests
in the associated or joint venture. The changes have not yet been adopted by the EU. The company will analyze
and assess the effects of the changes on its financial position or results of operations.
2.3.
Accounting principles
The Company's individual financial statements are prepared using the going concern basis of accounting. This
basis assumes that the Company will continue to exist for the foreseeable future. Management has no plans or
intentions to sell the business or cease operations, which could significantly change the carrying value or
classification of assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements. The valuation of assets and liabilities
and the measurement of revenues and expenses are carried out using the historical cost principle. This principle
is modified in certain cases with the revaluation of certain assets and/or liabilities to their fair value as of
December 31 of the current or previous year, as indicated in the relevant sections below.
2.4.
Subsidiaries. Consolidation
A subsidiary company is a company that is controlled by the parent company. Control is the power to manage the
financial and operational policies of the subsidiary company, with the aim of extracting benefits from its activities.
As of December 31, 2022, the company owns capital investments in subsidiary and associated companies
registered in the country. In the current individual financial statement, investments in the subsidiary companies
are presented at acquisition cost and this statement does not represent a consolidated financial statement within
the meaning of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
.
In order to gain a complete understanding of the financial position, performance, and changes in the financial
position of the group as a whole, users of this individual financial statement need to read it together with the
consolidated financial statement of the company for the financial year ending on December 31, 2022. The
company prepares consolidated financial statements, which are presented in accordance with regulatory
requirements and practices in our country, following the approval of the individual financial statements.
2.5.
Functional and presentation currency
Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which a business operates and where
its cash flows are mainly generated and utilized. It reflects the primary transactions, events, and conditions
significant to the business. The company keeps its accounting and prepares its financial statements in the national
currency of the Republic of Bulgaria –
Bulgarian Lev (BGN). This is the currency adopted as official in the
primary economic environment in which the company operates. Since January 1, 1999, BGN has been pledged to
the EUR at a fixed exchange rate of Euro 1: BGN 1.95583.
The reporting currency in this individual financial statement is also BGN. Unless otherwise stated, the financial
statement is prepared and presented in thousands of BGN.
2.6.
Foreign currency
Transactions denominated in foreign currency are initially recorded at the official exchange rate of the Bulgarian
National Bank (BNB) prevailing on the date of transaction. Exchange rate differences arising upon the settlement
of monetary items or upon restatement of these items at rates, different from those that were initially recognised,
are recognised in the separate statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period. Monetary
items in foreign currencies as at December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are stated in these financial
statements using the closing exchange rates of Bulgarian National Bank (BNB)

Foreign currency
The closing exchange rate of BGN to USD at the end of the current and prior reporting period is as follows:
December 31, 2021:
1 USD = BGN 1.72685
December 31, 2022:
1 USD = BGN 1.83371
2.7.
Accounting estimates and reasonable assumptions
The IAS application requires the company's management to apply certain accounting assumptions and estimates
when preparing the annual financial statements and determining the value of some of the assets, liabilities,
revenues, expenses, and contingent assets and liabilities.
All of these are made based on the best estimate made by management as of the date of preparation of the financial
statements. Actual results could differ from those presented in the current financial statements.
2.8.
Comparaive figures
According to Bulgarian accounting legislation, the financial year ends on December 31st and companies are
required to submit annual financial statements by the same date, along with comparative data for the previous
year as of that date. If necessary, the data presented for the previous year is adjusted to provide better comparability
with the data for the current period.

Definition and valuation of the financial statements elements
3.1.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, except for farmland, are stated in the statement of financial
position at cost (acquisition cost) less accumulated depreciation and possible impairment losses.
3.1.1.
Initial recognition
Upon their initial acquisition property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are valued at cost, which
comprises the purchase price, customs duties and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to working
condition for its intended use.
The directly attributable costs mainly are: cost of site preparation, initial delivery
and handling costs, installation costs, professional fees for people involved in the project, non-refundable taxes,
etc.
The Company has set a value threshold of BGN 700 below which the acquired assets, regardless of having the
features of non-current assets, are treated as current expenses at the moment of their acquisition.
Property, plant and equipment acquired through government grants are measured at fair value at the date of
acquisition.
3.1.2.
Subsequent expenses
Repair and maintenance costs are recognized as current expenses when incurred. Subsequent expenses incurred
in relation to property, plant and equipment that have the nature of replacement of certain components, significant
parts and aggregates, or improvements and restructuring, and meet the requirements for asset recognition are
capitalized in the carrying amount of the respective asset and its residual useful life is reviewed as at the
capitalization date. At the same time, the non-depreciated amount of the components replaced is derecognised
from the carrying amount of the assets and is recognised as current expenses for the period of restructure.

Property, plant and equipment (continued0
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets is charged on a straight-line basis. The
depreciation rates of fixed assets are determined by the management on the basis of their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is not charged on land, fully depreciated assets and assets in the process of acquisition or for assets
classified as held for sale in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 5 Non-current
Assets Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations.
The following depreciation rates have been applied by group of assets presented in years of useful life:

Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
At the end of each year, a review of the carrying amount of fixed assets that is not carried at fair value is performed
to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any, the Company calculates the recoverable amount
of the asset to determine the amount of the impairment loss.
Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an asset, the Company estimates the recoverable
amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-
generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the latter is reduced to the recoverable amount of
the asset (cash-generating unit). An impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income when incurred.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is
increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the
asset (cash-generating unit) in prior years.
A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized as income in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income when incurred, unless the relevant asset is carried at revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the
impairment loss is treated as an increase in the revaluation reserve.
3.3.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates
Non-current investments, comprising stocks and shares in subsidiaries and associates, are presented in the separate
financial statements at acquisition cost (at cost), which is the fair value of the remuneration paid, including the
direct costs connected with the acquiring of the investment less the accumulated impairment.

3.3.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates (continued)
Investments in subsidiaries and associates held by the entity are subject to annual review for impairment. If
conditions for impairment appear, it is recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive
income (in the profit or loss for the year). Upon purchase and sale of investments in subsidiaries and associates,
the entity applies the “closing date “of the transaction.
Investments are derecognized when the rights deriving from them are transferred to other parties when the legal
grounds for that occurrs and thus the control over the economic benefits from the respective particular type of
investments is considered lost. Profit/(loss) from the selling of such investments is presented respectively as
“financial income “or “financial expenses” in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income (in
the profit or loss for the year).
3.4.
Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or
equity instrument of another entity. The financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the statement of
financial position when the entity becomes a party in the contractual relationship of the respective financial
instrument generating this asset or liability.
Financial assets are written-off from the statement of financial position after the contractual rights for receiving
monetary flows have expired or the assets have been transferred and their transfer satisfies the requirements for
derecognition in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial instruments.
Financial liabilities are written-off from the statement of financial position only when they have been repaid, i.e.
the obligation specified in the contract has been annulled, cancelled or expired.
The Company’s operations do not presuppose the existence of various
financial instruments. The main financial
instruments included in the Company’s Statement of Financial Position are presented further below.
3.4.1.
Trade and other receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due by clients for goods and services sold in the routine course of business. Usually,
those are payable within a short period of time and are consequently classified as current. Trade receivables are
recognized initially in the amount of the due unconditional consideration, unless they contain considerable
financing components.
The Company holds trade receivables with the aim of collecting the contractual cashflows and therefore measures
those at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is not performed in cases where its effect
is insignificant.
As at the date of preparing the financial statements, the Company assesses whether there is objective evidence
for impairment with regard to the trade receivables which are of individual significance. Impairment is being
reported in case there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts, in accordance
with the initial conditions pertaining to the respective receivable.
The amount of impairment is the difference between the carrying value and recoverable value. The recoverable
amount represents the present value of expected cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount
of impairment of trade receivables in the current period is recognized as income and expense. When collection
is expected to be received within one year, it is recognized as a current asset. In other cases, receivables are
recognized as non-current assets.

Definition and valuation of the financial statements elements (continued)
3.4.
Financial instruments
The future cash flows determined for a group of financial assets that are collectively assessed for impairment are
based on historical information related to financial assets with credit risk characteristics similar to the
characteristics of the group of financial assets.
Assets that are individually impaired are not included in a group for impairment assessment.
The Company uses a simplified approach when reporting impairments of trade and other receivables and
recognizes impairment losses as expected credit losses for the entire period. These represent the expected shortage
of contractual cashflows while taking into account the probability for non-performance at any moment of the
financial instrument’s tenor.
Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability of bankruptcy and liquidation, financial restructuring
or inability to repay the debt (more than 30 days) are considered as an indicator that the trade receivable should
be impaired.
Upon measuring the anticipated credit losses under trade receivables, the Company has used a provision matrix,
as well as its expertise in the field of credit losses under trade receivables and receivables from provided loans, in
order to measure as estimates the expected credit losses over the financial assets’ entire tenor. The essential part
of contracts with clients as well as receivables under provided loans are concluded with trade companies which
are related parties and as a result the management assesses the probability of occurrence of credit losses as low.
The performed analysis proves this assessment and as a result no accrual of provisions for eventual credit losses
is needed after the introduction of the new IFRS 9.
3.4.2. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents in BGN are stated at nominal value and cash denominated in foreign currency –
at the
closing exchange rate of BNB as at the end of each reporting period.
For the purposes of preparing the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents are cash in hand and at banks.
3.4.3. Loan payables
Interest-bearing loans are initially recognised at fair value calculated through reduction of received cash proceeds
by inherent transaction costs. Following initial recognition, interest-bearing loans are measured at amortised cost
where any difference between the initial value and the value at maturity date is reported in the profit or loss
statement for the period of loan utilisation applying the effective interest rate method. No amortisation applies to
received interest-bearing loans characterised with lack of transaction costs upon origination. Received bank
overdrafts where the debtor may periodically utilise or repay the loan within a preliminary defined limit are treated
in the same manner.
Financial expenses, including direct borrowing costs, are included in profit or loss using the effective interest
method, except for transaction costs on bank overdrafts, which are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line
basis over the period, for which the agreed overdraft.
Interest-bearing loans are classified as current when they are to be settled within twelve months after the end of
the reporting period.
3.4.4. Payables to suppliers, other non-current payables and advances received
Trade and other liabilities arise as a result of received goods or services. No amortisation applies to short-term
payables.
Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value, while subsequently at amortized cost, using the effective
interest rate method.

Share capital
The share capital of the Company is presented at nominal value and corresponds to its current legal registration.
The share buy-back is presented in the statement of financial position at cost (acquisition price) as the share capital
of the Company is reduced with the gross purchasing amount.
3.6.
Reserves
The reserves presented in the statement of financial position comprise the financial results capitalized in previous
years and the premium reserve formed from issuing shares as well as reserves from the revaluation of some of the
property, plant and equipment (see note 3.1). The shareholders of the Company may dispose of the capital reserves
after resolution of the general meeting. Revaluated reserves are recognized as realized through transferring in non-
distributed profit after the respective asset has been taken out of operational use.
3.7.
Government grants
Government grants related to long-term assets and for compensation of expenses incurred by the Company are
recognized as deferred income, when there is sufficient assurance that they will be received and that the Company
will be able to meet all related requirements. The income for such grants is recognized in the statement of profit
or loss and other comprehensive income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
Government grants received as compensation for expenses incurred by the company are recognized in the income
statement and other comprehensive income during the period in which the expenses are incurred.
3.8.
Leases
At the effective date of the contract, the Company assesses whether the contract represents or contains a lease. Namely,
whether the contract transfers the right to control the use of the identified asset for a certain period of time.
The Company as lessee
The Company applies a uniform approach for the recognition and measurement of all leases, except for short-term
leases (ie leases with a lease term of up to 12 months) and leases of low value assets. The Company recognizes lease
obligations to pay the lease payments and rights-of- use assets that represent the right to use the assets.
Right-of-use assets
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets from the commencement date (i.e. the date on which the underlying asset
is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses and
adjusted for any revaluation of the lease liability.
The cost of acquisition of the right-of-use assets includes the amount of the recognized lease obligations, the initial
direct costs incurred and the lease payments made on or before the commencement date, an estimate of the costs to be
borne by the lessee in the dismantling and relocation of the asset, restoration of the site on which it is located, or
recovery of the asset to the condition required under the terms of the lease, less any leasing incentive received. Right-
of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
If at the end of the lease term the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the Company, or the acquisition price
reflects the exercise of a purchase option, the depreciation is calculated using the expected useful life of the asset.

Definition and valuation of the financial statements elements (continued)
3.8.
Leases (continued)
Lease obligations
From the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of
the lease payments that will be made for the lease term. Lease payments include fixed installments (including fixed
payments substantially) less any leasing incentives, variable lease payments that depend on an index or interest rate,
and amounts expected to be paid on guarantees for residual value. Leasing payments also include the cost of exercising
a purchase option that is reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company as well as payments of penalties for
termination of the lease if the lease term reflects the exercise by the Company of the option for termination.
Variable lease payments that are independent of index or interest rate are recognized as an expense over the period in
which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
When calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses an intrinsic interest rate on loans at the
commencement date of the lease because the interest rate on the lease cannot be reliably determined. After the
commencement date, the amount of the lease liabilities increases with interest and decreases with the lease payments
made. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liability is revalued if there is a modification, a change in the lease
term, a change in the lease payments (for example, changes in future payments resulting from a change in the index or
the interest rate used to determine these lease payments). or a change in the valuation of the option to buy the underlying
asset.
Short-term leases and low-value asset leases
The Company applies the exemption from the recognition of short-term leases in respect of its short-term leases on
buildings (for example, leases with a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and which do not
include an option to purchase). The Company also applies the exemption from the recognition of low value asset leases
to the lease of office equipment which is considered of low value. Payments for short-term leases and leases of low-
value assets are recorded as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
3.9.
Employee benefit obligations
3.9.1.
Defined benefit plans
The Bulgarian government is responsible for providing pensions under plans for defined pension contributions.
The Company’s expenses related to payment of contributions under these plans are recognized in the statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the period when they occur.
3.9.2.
Annual paid leave
The Company recognizes as liability the non-discounted amount of the estimated expenses for annual paid leave,
expected to be paid to the employees for the past reporting period.
3.9.3.
Defined benefit plans
Pursuant to the requirements of the Labour Code, upon termination of the employment contract the employees
are entitled to retirement benefits amounting to two gross monthly salaries when the overall length of service of
the employee in the Company is less than ten years, or six gross monthly salaries when the overall length of
service is more than 10 consecutive years.
The Company has considered that the amount of the estimated retirement benefit obligations is insignificant, thus
it was not stated in these financial statements.

Income and expenses recognition
3.10.1. Income from sales of services and other income
Revenues from sales and operating expenses are accrued at the time of their occurrence, regardless of cash receipts
and payments. The reporting and recognition of income and expenses is performed in compliance with the
requirement for a cause-and-effect relationship between them.
Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or due to be received, less the amount of all
granted discounts.
The Company recognizes income when the income amount can be reliably measured in the cases when the
Company can obtain future economic benefits and also when it meets particular criteria for each activity of the
Company, as specified further below.
The amounts collected on behalf of third parties, such as sales taxes like the value added tax, are excluded from
the income.
(a) Rental income from farmland and other assets
Income from rentals and leases of assets is recognized for the reporting period during which the farmland or the
respective other asset has been leased.
(b) Income from rendered services
Income from rendered services (administrative and others) is recognized on a monthly basis for the reporting
period to which it refers.
Income from
government donations
related to compensation for incurred expenses are recognized in the current
profit or loss on a systematic basis for the same period during which the expenses were also recognized.
Income from
government donations
related to compensation for investment expenses for the acquisition of an
asset are recognized in the current profit or loss on a systematic basis for the entire period of the asset’s useful
life, usually in the amount of the amortization recognized as expense.
The profit (loss) from the sale of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and materials is stated as other
income (expense).
In the event of an
exchange of assets
, income (expense) is being reported from the exchange transaction in the
amount of the difference between the fair value of the received asset and the carrying amount of the exchanged.
When economic benefits are expected to arise over several financial periods and their relatedness to the income
may be defined only in general or indirectly, expenses are recognised in the profit or loss based on procedures for
systematic and rational allocation.
3.10.2. Financial income and expenses
Loan expenses, which may directly be posted to an asset for which the acquisition process, construction or
production prior to its becoming ready for its intended use, or sale, necessarily takes a considerable period of time,
should be capitalized as part of the value of that same asset.

Income and expenses recognition (continued)
All other financial income and expenses are reported through profit or loss for all instruments measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or liability and for
allocating the profit or cost for interest rates during the respective period. The effective interest method is that
where expected future cash payments or income are discounted during the life of the financial instrument or in
certain cases for a shorter period, from the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. During the calculation
of the effective interest rate, the Company assesses the cash flows by taking into account all contractual conditions
of the financial instrument, however, without including potential future credit losses resulting from impairment.
The calculation includes fees, transaction costs, premiums or discounts paid or received between the parties to the
contract, which are an integral part of the effective interest rate.
All other financial income and expenses are reported through profit or loss for all instruments, measured at
amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
3.11.
Corporate income tax
The income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and the tax effect on the temporary tax
differences.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period by applying the effective tax rate
in compliance with the applicable tax legislation as at the financial statements date.
Deferred tax assets and/or
liabilities represent the amount of recoverable and payable income taxes calculated for future reporting periods
regarding deductible and taxable temporary differences.
Temporary tax difference is the difference between the carrying amount of an asset or liability presented in the
statement of financial position and its tax basis, derived from the taxation rules.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are
calculated and are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized only
if reversal is probable and if sufficient taxable profit will be available, against which deductible temporary
differences can be deduted.
The effect of deferred tax assets and/ or liabilities recognition is presented according to the effect of the event that
incurred it.
For events that affect the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income the effect of deferred tax
assets and liabilities is recognized in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
For events that were initially reported in equity (revaluation reserve), deferred tax assets and liabilities are
recognized at the expense of equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position are offset as they relate to income taxes
levied by the same tax authority.
According to the Bulgarian tax legislation the company pays corporate income tax at the amount of 10 % of the
taxable profit for 2022. The tax rate for 2023remains 10 %.

Critical estimates for the application of the Company’s accounting policy. Key estimates and
assumptions with high uncertainty.
In the process of applying the accounting policy, the Company’s management makes estimates which significantly
impact these financial statements. Such estimates by definition are rarely equal to the actual results.
As a result of their nature, they are subject to constant review and update and they summarize the historical
experience and other factors, including expectations about future events, which the management deems reasonable
under the current circumstances.
The estimates and assumptions entailing significant risk of material adjustment in the carrying amounts of assets
and liabilities during the next financial year are stated further below.
3.12.1. Revalued amounts of property, plant and equipment
The management has adopted a policy of appointing and using the professional services of independent licensed
appraisers to determine the fair values of lands, which are valued at fair value.
The following approaches and valuation methods have been applied in this revaluation to measure the fair value
of individual types of tangible fixed assets:
•
Comparative Market Approach
–
results in an indicative value by comparing the asset subject to
assessment with identical or similar assets for which there is available pricing information and which is being
treated with prevalence due to the properties’ nature and their current use;
•
Income Approach
–
results in an indicative value by adjusting future cashflows to a single current value of
capital. In order to apply the approach, it is necessary to determine the permanently realized net annual income of
the property (land rental) which is being capitalized in order to convert it into its net value.
Such revaluations should be made frequently enough in the cases when there are indications that the fair value of
a certain asset class has changed considerably.
3.12.2. Impairment of investments in subsidiaries
The management performs an analysis and assessment as to the presence of indicators for impairment of their
investments in subsidiaries. The following are accepted as the main indicators for impairment: Considerable
reduction in the volume or discontinuing the activity of the Company in which it has invested; Reporting of losses
over a longer period of time and reporting of negative net assets or assets below the registered fixed share capital.
The management’s tests and estimations for impairment of investments have been made from the perspective of
their plans and intentions as regards the future economic benefits which are expected to be received from the
subsidiary companies, including trade and industrial
experience, securing positions on foreign markets,
anticipated future sales and others.
Projection variants are being prepared for this purpose taking into account the various assumptions for risks,
uncertainties and probabilities relating to the future realization of cashflows and revenues from those investments.
Each of those variants is analysed carefully by the management and the results are weighted during the calculation
of the respective investment’s recoverable amount.

3.12.3. Useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets
The financial reporting of property, plant and equipment as well as the intangible assets involves the use of
estimates as to their anticipated useful life and carrying amounts, which estimates are based on assessments on
the part of the Company’s management.
3.12.4. Impairment of receivables
In line with the first application of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, the management of the Company has used its
experience in the field of credit losses, and it has also taken into account the current conditions and their
projections, in order to duly assess the expected credit losses on their trade receivables.
3.12.5. Leases
Determining the term of the lease for contracts with options for renewal and termination - the Company as a
lessee.
The Company defines the lease term as the irrevocable lease term, together with any periods covered by the option
to extend it, if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised, or any periods covered by the lease option.
termination of the lease if it is reasonably certain that the option will not be exercised.
The company has two leases that include options for extension and termination. The Company uses judgment to
evaluate whether it is reasonably certain whether the option to renew or terminate the lease will be exercised or
not, i. e. The Company considers all material factors that create an economic incentive to exercise either the
renewal option or the termination option. After the effective date of the contract, the Company reassesses the lease
term if there is a material event or change in the circumstances that is in its control and affects its ability to exercise
or not exercise the option to renew or terminate (for example, construction of significant improvements in the
leased property or substantial reworking to the specification of the leasing asset).
3.13.
Determining fair values
Some of the accounting policies and disclosures of the Company require an assessment of fair values for financial
and non-financial assets and liabilities.
When estimating the fair value of an asset or liability, the Company uses observable data, insofar as possible.
The fair values are being categorized in various levels in the Fair Values Hierarchy based on input data in the
valuation techniques, as follows:
•
Level 1:
Quoted prices (non-adjusted) on active markets for similar assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2:
Input data other than quoted prices included in Level 1 which directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly
(i e. obtained through prices) are accessible for asset or liability monitoring purposes.
•
Level 3:
Input data about the asset or liability which are not based on observable market data (non-
observable input data).
If the input data used for measuring the fair value of an asset or liability may be categorized in different levels in
the Fair Values Hierarchy, then the assessment of the fair value is categorized in its entirety at that same level of
the Fair Values Hierarchy which input information is of significance for the overall assessment.
The company recognizes transfers between the levels of the Fair Values Hierarchy as at the end of the reporting
period during which the change has occurred.
More information about the assumptions made based on the assessment of the fair values is included in the
respective appendices.

The Company has leasing agreements for renting office spaces and vehicles used in its operations. The terms
range from 3 to 5 years with options for extension.
To secure investment and working capital loans received by the company and its subsidiaries, the company has
established pledges and mortgages in favor of creditor banks on land with a carrying value of BGN 6,687 thousand
as of December 31, 2022, and buildings with a carrying value of BGN 844 thousand as of December 31, 2022.
To determine the fair value of the owned land, the company uses the services of a licensed appraiser with

expected amount for which a property can be exchanged on the date of the appraisal between willing buyers and
sellers in an arm's length transaction after proper marketing, in which the parties have acted knowledgeably.
The market value is being determined as a weighted value of the results achieved through the separate methods
and weights, determined in an expert way in accordance with the reliability of the used information and appraiser’s
experience.
The fair value of land has been categorized as Level 3 fair value based on the input data for the used appraisal
technique.

The Company has provided commercial loans to other companies and a physical person, mainly related
parties, with a total principal of BGN 14,437,000 (BGN 17,675,000 as of December 31, 2021). The Company
applies an annual interest rate of 3%. The loans are unsecured and have a maturity date from 2023 to 2027.
However, according to the terms of the agreements, which do not specify a repayment schedule, the amounts can
be settled prematurely. Therefore, the Company's management treats the receivables from the loan agreements as
current. The provided short-term commercial loans to related entities and trading partners aim to support and
finance their activities for common business and strategic goals.
The Company's management believes that the value at which the commercial and other current receivables are
presented in the financial statements corresponds to their fair value as of December 31, 2022.

management has assessed the expected credit losses on cash and cash equivalents. The estimated value is below
0.2% of the gross value of the cash and cash equivalents deposited in financial institutions, and therefore, it has
been determined as immaterial and not recognized in the financial statements of the company as of December 31,

Financial risk factors
The use of financial instruments exposes the Company to market, credit and liquidity risk. This paragraph provides
information on the objectives, policies and processes for managing these risks, as well as and capital management.
The financial risks are currently identified, measured and monitored by the management using various controlling
mechanisms introduced for determining adequate prices of products and services, the cost of borrowings and the
forms of maintaining of free liquid funds without allowing an unreasonable concentration of a certain risk.
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of
changes in market prices. Market risk includes currency risks, interest rate risk and price risk. Credit risk is the
risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to meet its
contractual obligation. Liquidity risk is the risk that an entity will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations
associated with financial liabilities.

Financial instruments and financial risks management (continued)
28.1.
Financial risk factors (continued)
28.1.1. Currency risk
The Company has transactions in a currency other than its functional currency and is therefore exposed to risks
associated with possible changes in foreign exchange rates. This risk arises mainly from changes in the exchange
rate of the U.S. dollar, as the Company has reported purchases denominated in U.S. dollars. Transactions in euro
do not expose the Company to currency risk as the BGN has been pegged to the euro since January 1, 1999.
Foreign currency risk sensitivity analysis indicates that the financial results of the Company would not be changed
significantly due to changes in exchange rates as the Company has no significant foreign currency risk exposures.
28.1.2. Interest risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk as it borrows funds at floating interest rates agreed as a base interest
rate EURIBOR or SOFIBOR, increased by a certain margin. In 2021 and 2020 borrowings at floating interest
rates are denominated in euro and Bulgarian lev. The amount of the interest rates is presented in the relevant notes.

its obligation. Financial assets which potentially expose the Company to credit risk are primarily trade receivables
and interest loans. The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk in the event that customers do not pay their
liabilities. The Company's policy in this area is focused on sales to customers with an appropriate credit standing
and use of adequate collateral in order to mitigate the risk of financial losses.
The credit quality of customers is assessed by taking into account their financial position, past experience and
other factors. Individual credit limits are set and their utilisation is monitored regularly.
Over 64% of the receivables on interest loans and trade receivables are from subsidiaries and other related parties
under the Company’s control and for this reason t
he management does not consider the credit risk to be high.
28.1.4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will fail to pay its financial liabilities when they fall due. The policy
in this area is aimed at ensuring the availability of sufficient liquid funds which can be used to settle liabilities
when they fall due including in emergency and unforeseen situations.
The table below represents the agreed maturities of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the
Company may be required to pay them. The table shows undiscounted cash flows, including principal and interest:

Capital management
The Company manages its capital so as to operate as a going concern while it seeks to maximize returns to
shareholders through the optimization of the debt-to-equity ratio (return on invested capital). The aim of the
management is to maintain the confidence of investors, creditors and the market and to ensure the future
development of the Company. The management monitors the capital structure based on the net debt-to-equity
ratio.
Net debt includes non-current and current interest-bearing loans and non-current and current finance lease
liabilities, less cash. Share capital, reserves and accumulated profits form the equity of the Company.

The management of the Company determines the amount of required capital in proportion to the level of risk
which characterizes different activities (projects, business segments). Maintenance and adjustment of the capital
structure is carried out in relation with changes in economic conditions, as well as the level of risk inherent to the
respective assets (projects). The main instruments used to manage the capital structure are: sale of assets to reduce
the level of debt, etc. All decisions about changes in this respect take into account the balance between the costs
and risks inherent to the various sources of funding.

Fair values
The Company's policy is to disclose in its financial statements the fair value of financial assets and liabilities,
especially where quoted market prices exist. The concept of fair value assumes realisation of financial instruments
by way of a sale. However, in many cases, particularly with respect to trade receivables and payables and loans,
the Company expects to realize these financial assets through their total repayment or repayment over time.
Therefore, they are presented at their nominal value or amortized cost.
Most of the financial assets and liabilities are short-term trade receivables and payables and short-term loans,
therefore their fair value approximates their carrying amount.
The management of the Company believes that, in the circumstances, the estimates of the financial assets and
liabilities presented in the statement of financial position are the most reliable, adequate and true for the purposes
of financial reporting.

30. Subsequent events
On February 8th, 2023, the Company entered into a final agreement for the purchase and sale of 441,866 registered
non-cash ordinary shares with voting rights of "Almagest" AD, with a nominal value of BGN 80 each, representing
100% of the capital of "Almagest" AD. On this date, the shares were transferred from the sellers to the buyer
through registration of the transfer transaction in Central Depository AD, in accordance with the requirements of
the applicable legislation, and "Agria Group Holding" AD acquired the ownership rights over 100% of the shares
of the capital of "Almagest" AD. The shares were transferred to the buyer "Agria Group Holding" AD without
any obligations, encumbrances, rights, or claims of third parties, together with all rights arising from or related to
them.
31. Other disclosures
In the end of February of the previous year, 2022, a military conflict broke out between Russia and Ukraine. As
a result, normal trade relations with the two affected countries have been severely disrupted. The European Union
and many countries around the world have imposed a series of economic sanctions on Russia. The restrictive
economic and financial measures could lead to changes in prices for energy sources and other goods and services
that are important for the development of the Bulgarian economy. This, in turn, could indirectly have an adverse
impact on the company's operations in future reporting periods. Its management is currently analyzing and
monitoring all changes in events in order to determine protective and stabilization measures. It is expected that
their implementation will mitigate the negative consequences of the military conflict to the extent that they will
not have a significant negative impact on the company's future viability and ability to continue its operations as
an ongoing concern.

RISKS FACING THE COMPANY. GOALS AND POLICY OF THE COMPANY ON RISK
MANAGEMENT
The operation of each company is exposed to certain risks affecting its performance. The operation of Agria
Group Holding AD is exposed to the risks listed below. The risk factors are listed consequentially in accordance
with their significance to the operations of the issuer.
A.
Specific risks
1.
Market risks
Market risk is related to the changes in market conditions. It includes income risks, profit risks, interest rate,
liquidity and currency risks.
2.
Income risks
The Company’s future sales are subject to normal market risks. The main future income depends on
the
possibility for AGRIA GROUP HOLDING AD to perform its market and investment strategy, as well as on the
current market situation. To reduce those risks considerably, the Company relies on an increased intra-company
capability of effective forecasting and planning, as well as on maintaining stable customer relations..
3.
Profit risks
The market risk can also influence the Company’s expenses, particularly in cases when the rate of growth of
expenses is faster than that of income.
4.
Interest rate risk
The int
erest rate risk manifests itself in the possibility of a rise in the cost of financing the Company’s activities.
Regarding fixed rate loans, in the case of a potential drop in market interest rates, the issuer may not succeed
in obtaining resources at the available lower interest rates. If such circumstances arise, the Issuer would be
operating under less advantageous conditions than its competitors. Such development would lead to higher
interest payments by the Issuer in comparison to other companies which would finance their activities at the
current market rates; consequently, this would lead to lower net profit. Regarding floating rate loans, in the case
of a potential drop in market interest levels, the interest rate payable by the Company on its loans will also drop.
An interest rate risk for floating rate loans exists in the case of a rise in market levels, when the resources used
by the Issuer will become more expensive.
In order to minimise the interest rate risk, the Issuer diversifies the sources through which it ensures the
financing of its activity.
ANNUAL INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY REPORT
FOR 2022
AGRIA GROUP HOLDING JSC
56
5.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is a risk related to the ability for the Issuer to cover its trade payables to suppliers and creditors
within the negotiated term and amount of payments.
Agria Group Holding AD manages its assets and liabilities in such a way as to guarantee that it will cover its daily
payments regularly and without delay. This risk component is minimised by accuracy and commitment in
agreements with the trade counterparties with which cash revenue or payments are planned.
6.
Currency risk
Currency risk is the risk that the Issuer may suffer losses due to the fluctuation of market prices of the various
currencies it uses. Agria Group Holding AD carries out its operations predominantly in Bulgarian leva (BGN) and
Euro (EUR). The Euro is the main currency in which the Issuer settles its foreign trade relations
–
sales of
goods/produce and purchase of materials necessary for its activity. Under the conditions of a currency board
and a fixed rate of the BGN against the EUR, the management of the company consider that the Issuer is not
exposed to a significant risk of changes in currency rates.
B.
Operational risks
The chief operational risks and the measures taken to minimise those risks are to be considered in terms of the
operations of the Issuer’s subsidiaries, because Agria Group Holding AD functions as a legal entity which is a
holding company carrying out investment activities, which aims to manage the stake it holds in its subsidiaries,
and which does not directly carry out any other production and/or commercial activity of its own.
The operational risk is related to damage or loss suffered by the Company due to human error, technological
imprecision, and impossibility for machines and equipment to perform a certain task, or to a mistake in the
procedure or organisation. The probability that the Issuer may suffer damage or loss due to human error,
technological imprecision, and impossibility for machines and equipment to perform a certain task, or to a
mistake in the procedure or organisation via its subsidiaries is insignificant. Part of the chief operational risks is
related to a potential load on capacities and to providing the necessary raw materials. Potential risks could arise
in relation to the workforce available in the regions where the subsidiaries of the Issuer perform their
commercial activities.
The operational risk is related to damage or loss suffered by the Company due to human error,
technological imprecision, and impossibility for machines and equipment to perform a certain task, or to a
mistake in the procedure or organisation. The probability that the Issuer may suffer damage or loss due to human
error, technological imprecision, and impossibility for machines and equipment to perform a certain task, or to

is related to a potential load on capacities and to providing the necessary raw materials. Potential risks could
arise in relation to the workforce available in the regions where the subsidiaries of the Issuer perform their
commercial activities.
The main risk for the Issuer’s subsidiaries which perform commercial activities related to growing and
storing agricultural produce includes inclement weather conditions, diseases and other natural risks. In order to
minimise those risks and any potential loss, the subsidiaries obtain insurance policies for all areas on the
production in progress of all agro-technical activities against all main risks, together with storm, fire and hail,
including insurance policies against freezing of all crops being grown.
ANNUAL INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITY REPORT
FOR 2022
AGRIA GROUP HOLDING JSC
57
Insurance policies are obtained for all general risks, including earthquake risk for all real estate and
production capacities owned by the companies in the group.
Despite the tight competition, the Company considers that it has a competitive edge on the market
owing to its experienced management staff and its established reputation. In this respect it should be noted that
the management staff and the Company’s employees are highly qualified and motivated specialists, organised
in relatively independent active structural units which maintain a maximally complete and up-to-date data base
of the development and trends of the respective markets.
C.
Non-specific (systemic) risks
The holding company and its subsidiaries are also exposed to systemic risks, mainly related to the macro
environment in which they operate. These risks are not subject to supervision and under the control of Agria
Group Holding’s management.
The main systemic risk to the activity of the company and its subsidiaries can be identified as the military conflict
between Russia and Ukraine, the main exporters of grain worldwide. The outbreak of war has complicated grain
and oilseed exports, triggering fears of a food crisis and a high spike in commodity prices in 2022, as well as
instability on international markets. Despite the establishment of export corridors from Ukraine and the current
soothing of markets, the ongoing military situation threatens to deepen the conflict, which could lead to the
restriction or hindrance of exports through the imposition of non-market administrative measures. The
Company's management does not anticipate any adverse impact on the results of operations and business
processes of the holding company as the Company has no direct exposure to related parties, and/or key
customers or suppliers in Russia and Ukraine.
Effect on liquidity.
The management concludes that there are no liquidity restrictions for the company and the group as a whole in
short and medium term. To date, the holding group is supported by global financial institutions with which it
works, such as European Investment Bank, DSK Bank, UniCredit Bulbank, UBB AD and etc.
7.
CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
The Company follows a consistent policy of Social Corporate Responsibility. Agria Group Holding AD is a public
company and its social responsibility finds expression in all aspects of its corporate activities. The management
of Agria Group Holding prioritizes environmental protection and people’s health in its corporate policy through
its products, services and working conditions. The company’s social engagements in its capacity of employer
toward workers and employees find expression in providing safe and healthy working conditions as well as
following an environmental protection policy. Agria’s senior management encourages following business
standards and practices for public social responsibility regarding the environmental and employee policies.
The company assess regularly the impact of its activities on the environment and observe strictly the
requirements and regulations for environmental protection, health and safety of the employees and the society
in production of grains in the following aspects.

Agricultural production is highly dependent on climate change, and at the same time is an important factor,

The management of the company’s financial resources is subject to the requirement for achieving maximum
effectiveness, while at the same time meeting the terms of payment agreed with suppliers and clients. This
includes a balanced approach with regard to own and attracted financial resources, which leads to lower
financial costs. The result of such financial resources management policy is the faster reduction of the debt
recovery period versus the debt payment period, which maintains a high liquidity of payments. This leads to the
effective increase of the cash funds of the company and to the possibility of financing investment costs, without
this always being at the expense of a financial resource extended by a bank, which optimises the payment of
interest costs.
The senior management of Agria Group Holding AD, represented by corporate governance, performs a key role
and carries responsibility for the establishment of an internal control system and risk management and carries
out routine monitoring in this direction. The company elaborated a risk management and internal audit system.
The elected Audit Committee applies the principle of rotation in the election of auditor. In view of the dynamics

As a consequence of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine at the end of February of the previous
year, normal trade relations with the two countries involved have been disrupted. The European Union and
many countries around the world have imposed a number of economic sanctions on Russia. The restrictive
economic and financial measures taken could lead to changes in the prices of energy sources and other goods
and services that are important for the development of the Bulgarian economy. The corporate management
analyses and monitors all developments in order to determine protective and stabilisation measures.
With their
implementation, the negative consequences of the military conflict are expected to be mitigated to the extent

profit, efficiency and value of new business. The non-financial criteria are related to the clients egagements and
employees of the company, operational efficiency and corporate social responsibility, contributing to the stable

situation.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the shareholders of
Agria Group Holding AD
Varna
Report on the audit of the separate financial statements
Audit opinion
We have audited the separate financial statements of
Agria Group Holding AD
(the Company), which
comprise the separate statement of financial position as at December 31, 2022, the separate statement of
profit or loss and other comprehensive income, separate statement of changes in equity and separate
statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate financial statements present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022 and its financial performance and cash
flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) adopted for
implementation by the European Union (EU).
Basis for expressing an auditor's 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 Financial Statements
section of our report. We are independent of the Company in
accordance
with
the
International
Code
of
Ethics
for
Professional
Accountants
issued
by
the
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and the ethical requirements of
the Independent Financial Audit Act (IFAA), applicable to our audit of the separate financial statements
in Bulgaria, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the requirements
of IFAA and IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to note 2.4
. Subsidiaries. Consolidation
of the Notes to the separate financial
statements. "In order to get a complete picture of the financial condition, results of operations, as well
as to change the financial condition of the Group as whole, users of these separate financial statements
2
need to read it together with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 2022. The Company also prepares consolidated financial statements, which according to
the regulatory requirements and traditions in our country are presented after approval of the separate
financial statements. "
Our audit opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
We draw attention to note 31 Other disclosures of the notes to the separate financial statements
“
In the
end of February of the previous year, 2022, a military conflict broke out between Russia and Ukraine.
As a result, normal trade relations with the two affected countries have been severely disrupted. The
European Union and many countries around the world have imposed a series of economic sanctions on
Russia. The restrictive economic and financial measures could lead to changes in prices for energy
sources and other goods and services that are important for the development of the Bulgarian economy.
This, in turn, could indirectly have an adverse impact on the company's operations in future reporting
periods. Its management is currently analyzing and monitoring all changes in events in order to
determine protective and stabilization measures. It is expected that their implementation will mitigate
the negative consequences of the military conflict to the extent that they will not have a significant
negative impact on the company's future viability and ability to continue its operations as an ongoing
concern.
Our audit opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are these matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our
audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not
provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
How this key audit matter was addressed in our
audit
Valuation of investments and receivables in
subsidiaries
As disclosed in notes 6, 8 and 29 to the separate
financial
statements,
the
Company
has
investments in subsidiaries amounting to EUR
103,908 thousand, as well as receivables from
subsidiaries (commercial and on loans granted),
amounting to BGN 35,348 thousand. The activity
of one part of the subsidiaries is concentrated in
the field of production of agricultural production
In this area, our audit procedures comprised:
-
Reviewing the
Company’s
analyzes of its
overall
exposure
to
the
subsidiaries
and
the
potential for return.
-
analytical procedures regarding the main
indicators of turnover of receivables from and
payables to the subsidiaries in prior periods and
the current year and after the end of the reporting
period;
-
Assessment
and
verification
of
the
3
(grain) and of another part in the storage and
trade
of
grain.
At
the
same
time,
there
are
subsidiaries created for the realization of specific
projects
that
projects
are
still
in
the
initial
business phase. Grain production is susceptible
to the influence of factors not under the control
of
Company
’s
management
and,
in
addition,
grain trading is under the influence of a highly
competitive market environment. This implies a
risk
of
overestimating
investments
in
subsidiaries. The review and tests of the indicator
guide
and
the
need
for
impairment
of
these
exposures
(investments
and
receivables)
are
made in the context of its forecasts and intentions
regarding
future
economic
benefits
and
profitability that
are
expected to
be
obtained
from
subsidiaries.
Its calculations
shall
apply
material assumptions and estimates on its part
regarding
the
measurement
of
the
future
collection of receivables, analyzing the future
collectability of the company's overall exposure
to each of these entities.
Each of the subsidiaries is treated as a separate
cash-generating entity and a number of factors
are
taken
into
account,
such
as:
business
specificity, business environment, expected sales
volume growth, and other risks. Therefore, these
estimates
of
management
are
inherently
uncertain.
Due to the fact that the process of determining
the review and testing for possible impairment
losses
of
the
company's
exposure
in
its
subsidiaries
involves
multiple
judgments
and
assumptions, and due to the materiality of the
reporting object itself, as stated above, we have
identified this issue as a key audit matter.
Fair value measurement of owned farmland
Notes 3.1 and 4 to the financial statements.
The
Company
has
adopted
to
measure
the
agricultural land it owns at fair value, determined
by an independent valuer at financial statements
date . The assessment of agricultural land is a
completeness,
relevance
and
adequacy
of
disclosures in the Company's separate financial
statements
regarding
the
measurement
of
investments
and
receivables
from
subsidiaries
and the results of the impairment tests.
Our audit procedures in this area include:
•
studies on the objectivity, independence,
and expertise of the external appraisers.
•
we assessed the accuracy of the input
data set in the appraisers' reports.
4
key issue for our audit, as it requires a substantial
level
of
judgement
and
at
the
same
time,
agricultural
land
is
an
essential
part
of
the
Company’s assets. The use of many assumptions
it
the
preparation
of
valuations
has
been
identified
by
us
as
a
significant
risk.
The
Company's
policy
is
to
use
independent
appraisers
at
lease
once
a
year.
Property
valuations contain assumptions such as expected
rental
income,
employment
levels,
market
transaction
information,
market
assumptions,
property development risk, etc.
•
we conducted a critical analysis of the
main assumptions.
•
we conducted additional procedures to
evaluate the adequacy assessments.
Information other than the separate financial statements and
auditor’s report thereon
Management is responsible for the other information. The other information consists of the information
included in the annual management report and the corporate governance statement prepared by the
management in accordance with Chapter Seven of the Accountancy Act but does not include the
separate financial statements
and our auditor’s report thereon
, and this other information we received
before the date of our audit 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 explicitly 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
financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to 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 for the separate financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the separate financial statements
in accordance with International Accounting Standards, endorsed for application by the European
Commission 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.
5
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 supervision of the financial reporting process in the
Company.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the separate financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements 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 based
on these financial statements.
As part of the audit in accordance with ISAs, we use 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 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 the Management.
—
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accou
nting 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 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 financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
6
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.
Among the matters communicated to those charged with governance, we identify those matters that
were most relevant to the audit of the separate financial statements for the current period, and which are
therefore key audit matters.
We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless a law or a 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.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Additional matters to report in accordance with the Accountancy Act and Public Offering of
Securities Act
In
addition
to
our
responsibilities

Statement in connection with Art. 100 (n), par. 4, vol. 3, p."b"of Public Offering of Securities Act.
The information about related party transactions is disclosed in note 29 of the notes to the separate
financial statements. Based on the audit procedures performed by us on related party transactions as part
of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole, no facts, circumstances or other information

disclosed in the accompanying financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, in all
material respects, in accordance with the requirements of IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures
. The results
of our audit procedures on related party transactions were addressed by us in the context of forming our
opinion on the separate financial statements as a whole and not for the purpose of expressing a separate
