The policies for recognition of revenue from intra-group sales and sales to external clients for the purposes of the reporting by segments do not differ from these applied by the Group for revenue recognition in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income.

 

The Management of the Group evaluates the results of the performance of the segments based on the adjusted EBITDA[1]. In the calculation of the adjusted EBITDA the effect of the impairment of assets is not taken into account. The reconciliation of the adjusted EBITDA and the profit (loss) before tax is presented in the table below:

In March 2016 a tax audit act related to social security contributions for BGN 543 thousand principal and BGN 248 thousand interests was issued. It is fully appealed against by the Parent company. In April 2016 in order to suspend the execution of the appealed tax audit act, a bank guarantee of BGN 800 thousand in favor of National Revenue Agency was issued. In November 2017, the issued revision act is entirely repealed with a decision of Administrative Court - Sofia city. The tax administration appealed the decision and now the contest is pending in  (Supreme Administrative Court) SAC.

 

In January 2017, the Parent company received a tax audit act on corporate tax revision for 2013 and VAT until October 2014 amounting to BGN 222 thousand principal and BGN 68 thousand interest.

The Parent company appealed the act. In order to suspend the enforcement of the appealed audit act, ordered by the Parent company, a bank guarantee in favor of National Revenue Agency for BGN 940 thousand was issued. The bank guarantee is partly covered by BGN 300 thousand cash. In August 2017 the Director of "Appealing and tax-security practice" department issued a decision, which change the appealed revision act of the Parent company on corporate income tax for 2014 and VAT until June 2015 and reduce the additional tax liabilities from BGN 663 thousand to BGN 65 thousand principal and from BGN 138 thousand to BGN 15 thousand interest. The rest of the additionally determined tax liabilities in the revision act are in process of legal appealing.

At the several General Meetings of Shareholders hold in the period of 2016 - 2017 a decision for reverse-split procedure for merging 4 old shares with nominal value of BGN 1 to 1 share with a nominal value of BGN 4 and consequent decrease of the capital of the Parent company in order to cover losses by decreasing the nominal value of the shares from BGN 4 to BGN 1 was voted. In March 2018, following a decision of the Lovech Regional Court, which repealed the refusal of the Commercial Register (CR) to register the decision voted on EGMS for merging 4 old shares with nominal of BGN 1 into 1 new share with nominal of BGN 4, the applied change was registered in CR resulting in registered capital of the Parent company of BGN 109 249 612, distributed in 27 312 403 shares with nominal of BGN 4 each. The change in the capital structure of the Parent company was registered also in Central Depositary AD. The application for registration of the voted on EGMS decision for the second stage of the procedure of the Parent company's capital to be decreased by decreasing the nominal value of the shares from BGN 4 to BGN 1 in order to cover losses was refused by CR. The Parent company's Management will undertakes actions for holding a new GMS of Petrol AD to vote again the decision for capital decrease of the Parent company in order to cover losses by decreasing of the nominal value of the share from BGN 4 to BGN 1.

There is a pending court dispute in relation to a singed in 2015 written guarantee of liabilities of a subsidiary until February 2018, arising from a cession agreement with an exposure of BGN 245 thousand as at 30 June, 2018. The blocked cash of BGN 245 thousand, which served as a collateral pursuant to Art.180 and Art. 181 of the Obligations and Contracts Act (OCA), is reported as other receivables on guarantees. A claim to release the cash was deposited, but the court has dismissed it.

 

In the previous reporting periods companies from the Group have entered into the debt under two loan agreements of a subsidiary (until December 2015) for USD 15,000 thousand and USD 20,000 thousand, respectively. In 2015 the bank -creditor acquired court orders for immediate execution and receiving orders against the subsidiaries - joint debtors. In relation to the complaints filed by the subsidiaries, the competent court has revoked the immediate enforcement orders and has invalidated the receiving orders. In October and December 2015 the creditor has filed claims under Art. 422 of Civil Procedure Code (CPC) against the subsidiaries for the existence of the receivables under each loan agreement. The court proceedings of the creditor are still pending.

 

In December 2016 the first instance court decreed a decision (the Decision) which admit for established that the bank has a receivable amounted to USD 15,527 thousand from the subsidiaries - joint debtors, arising from a signed loan agreement for USD 15,000 thousand. With the same decision the court has ordered the subsidiaries jointly to pay BGN 411 thousand to the bank - creditor for legal fees and expenses and BGN 538 thousand state fee in favor of the judiciary state for the ordered proceedings and BGN 538 thousand state fee for claim proceedings. In January 2017 the subsidiaries have filed in time appeals against the court decision, because of that the decision did not come into force. As at the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements the dispute is pending before the court of appeal and the Group's Management considers that there are reasonable grounds the decision to be fully canceled.

 

As at the date of the preparation of these consolidated financial statements, the filed proceedings against the subsidiaries - joint debtors for estimation of the bank receivables due to the loan agreement for USD 20,000 thousand is pending before the first-instance court. The Management expects favorable decision by the competent court. As at the date of the preparation of this financial report the Parent company sold its interest in one of co-debtor subsidiaries and the potential risk for the Group is reduced to the court proceedings against the second subsidiary.

 

A creditor of a subsidiary (until December 2015) unreasonably claimed in court the responsibility of the Parent company under a contract of guarantee for liabilities arising from a contract for a framework credit limit as a result of that the bank accounts of the Parent company amounting to USD 29,983 thousand were garnished. This claim was disputed in court by Petrol AD because the liability as guarantor has not occurred and / or extinguished pursuant to Art. 147, paragraph 2 of the Obligations and Contracts Act (OCA). At the time of conclusion of the guarantee deadline of the arrangements between the lender and subsidiary contractual framework for credit limit was July 1, 2014. The term of the framework credit limit was extended without the consent of the customer, therefore the responsibility of the latter has fallen by six months after initially agreed period, during which the creditor has brought an action against the principal debtor. The term of Art. 147, paragraph 1 of the Obligations and Contracts Act (OCA) is final and upon its expiration the company's guarantee has been terminated, so the objection of the Parent company was granted by the court and imposed liens on bank accounts lifted.

 

After the writ of execution, pursuant to order proceedings, was canceled on which were imposed liens on bank accounts of the Parent company, the creditor has initiated legal claim proceedings under Art. 422 of the Civil Procedure Code (CPC) to establish the same claims against the subsidiary (until December 2015) and the guarantor Petrol AD. In these proceedings the objections are repeated, that liability as guarantor has not occurred and / or extinguished pursuant to Art. 147, par. 2 of the OCA, and therefore the Management expects that the claim of the creditor against the Parent company will be dismissed permanently by a court decision on those cases. At present, the claim proceedings are pending.
