2 Basis for preparation of the financial statements (continued)

2.1 Financial reporting framework (continued)

The Company anticipates that the adoption of these new standards and amendments to the existing

standards will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company in the period of

initial application.

Hedge accounting for a portfolio of financial assets and liabilities whose principles have not been

adopted by the EU remains unregulated.

According to the Company’s estimates, the application of hedge accounting to a portfolio of financial

assets or liabilities pursuant to IAS 39: “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”

would not significantly impact the financial statements, if applied as at the reporting date.

During 2016 the Company has not elected early adoption of standards, revisions and interpretations,

effective for future reporting annual periods. The Company anticipates that the adoption of these

standards, amendments to the existing standards and interpretations would have no material impact on

its separate financial statements in the period of initial application, except for IFRS 9 and IFRS 15, the

impact of which has not yet been evaluated.

2.2 Historical cost and fair value

The present separate financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for

certain property, plant and equipment, investment property and derivative financial instruments that

are measured at revalued amounts or fair values, as explained in notes 3.7, 3.10 and 3.13 below.

Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods

and services.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly

transaction between market participants at the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is

directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an

asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market

participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability at the

measurement date. Fair value for measurement and/or disclosure purposes in these separate financial

statements is determined on such a basis, except for share-based payment transactions that are within

the scope of IFRS 2, leasing transactions that are within the scope of IAS 17, and measurements that

have some similarities to fair value but are not fair value, such as net realizable value in IAS 2 or value

use in IAS 36.

In addition, for the financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorized into Level 1,

2 or 3 based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the

significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirely, which are described as follows:

- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

that the Company can access at the measurement date;

- Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for

the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;

- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

2 Basis for preparation of the financial statements (continued)

2.2 Functional and presentation currency

Functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment, in which an entity operates

and in which it generates and expends cash. The entity carries out its transactions mainly in Bulgarian

Lev, and for this reason the functional and presentation currency is the Bulgarian Lev, which since

January 1, 1999 has been pegged to the EURO at a fixed exchange rate of EUR 1: BGN 1.95583.

These separate financial statements are presented in thousands of BGN.

3 Significant accounting policies

3.1 Revenue and expense recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents

amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, net of discounts,

Value Added Tax (VAT) and other sales related taxes.

Revenue is recognized when the entity has transferred all risks and rewards related to the ownership of

the production and goods to the buyer and the costs incurred in respect of the transaction can be

measured reliably.

Expenses are recognized in the income statement when a decrease of the future economic benefits

arise, regarding decrease of an asset or increase of a liability, which can be reliably measured.

Expenses are recognized on the basis of a direct association between the costs incurred and the revenue.

When economic benefits are expected to incur during more than one financial period and the

corresponding revenue cannot be measured precisely but only indirectly, the expenses shall be

recognized based on procedures for rational and systematic allocation.

Income from government grants related to assets is recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis

over the whole useful lives of the related assets (see also note 3.15).

3.2 Interest income

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, based on the outstanding principal and the applicable

effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through

the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the asset.

3.3 Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are recognized in the period in which they are incurred and are determined on the

basis of the outstanding principal and the applicable effective interest rate, which is the rate that

exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability to

the net carrying amount of the liability.

Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset,

that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of

the cost of the asset in accordance with the requirements of IAS 23 Borrowing costs. The borrowing

costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or production of a qualifying asset are those

borrowing costs that would have been avoided, if the expenditure on the qualifying asset had not been

made.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

3.3 Borrowing costs (continued)

The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined as the actual borrowing costs

incurred on the borrowings during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment

of those borrowings. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally and used for the purpose of

obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalization is determined by

applying a capitalization rate to the expenditures on that asset. The capitalization rate is the weighted

average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that are outstanding during the period.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their

expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. All

other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the

qualifying asset for its intended use are complete.

3.4 Foreign currency

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the

transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated

in foreign currencies are retranslated at the closing exchange rates of the Bulgarian National Bank. The

foreign exchange rate differences, arising upon the settlement of these monetary positions or at

restatement of these positions at rates, different from those when initially recorded, are reported as

current financial income or current financial expense in the period in which they arise.

3.5 Employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Labor and social relationships between the employees and the Company are arranged under the

provisions of the Labour Code (LC) and the social security legislation requirements enforceable in the

Republic of Bulgaria.

Short-term employee benefits including remunerations, bonuses and social payments and benefits

(payable within 12 months after the period in which employees have rendered their service or satisfied

the necessary conditions) are recognized as an expense in the income statement for the period in which

the service is rendered or the vesting conditions are met, and as a current liability (after reduction of

any amounts paid and deductions) to its undiscounted amount. The Company’s contributions for social

security and health insurance are recognized at their undiscounted amount as current expense and

liability together with and for the period, when the respective employee benefits are accrued.

Unused paid annual leaves accruals

As of the reporting period end, the Company recognizes as a liability the non-discounted amount of

the estimated expenses on paid leaves, expected to be paid to employees during following reporting

periods as compensation to their labor in the previous reporting period, as well as the respective to

these accruals expenses on social security contributions.

3.5 Employee benefits (continued)

Long-term employee benefits

Defined contributions plan

The Bulgarian government has responsibility to ensure retirement benefits based on definite

contributions. Expenses, concerning the Company’s responsibility to transfer installments on the

definite contributions plan, are recognized in the income statement for the period in which they arise.

Additionally, the Company takes part in a defined contributions plan, which is a retirement plan. The

Company pays additional defined contributions to an independent company (pension fund) in favor of

the employees, included in the plan and has no legal or constructive obligation to pay additional

contributions in case the fund has insufficient assets to pay all employees the compensations,

regarding their length of service from the current or previous periods. The Company’s contributions

for this definite contributions plan are reported in the income statement for the respective period and

are included in employee benefits.

Defined benefits plan

Under the provisions of the Labor Code, the employees are entitled to retirement benefits amounting

to two gross monthly salaries on attainment of retirement age if the accumulated length of service in

the Company is under 10 years, or six gross monthly salaries if the length of service in the Company is

over 10 consecutive years.

Additionally, on early retirement due to disability, the employees are entitled to benefits amounting to

two monthly salaries, provided that their length of service is at least five years, and they have received

no other such benefits during the last five years of service. Based on the Company’s Collective Labor

Agreement dated 2006, the employees that due to disease are disabled to perform the work assigned

and in case of length of service over ten consecutive years, are entitled to an additional benefit from

the Company, amounting to one minimal monthly salary determined for the country.

In accordance with requirements of IAS 19 Employee benefits, the Company recognizes a retirement

benefits liability, which is determined estimated by a licensed actuary using the Projected Unit Credit

Method. The retirement benefits liability presents the present value of the defined retirement benefits

liability as of the date of the statement of financial position. The present value of the defined liability

is estimated based on the expected future cash outflows, using the interest rate of the government

bonds, which have a maturity term similar to the maturity of the respective liability.

By the use of the Projected Unit Credit Method:

• is determined what portion of the benefits is attributable to the current period and the portion for

previous periods, and estimates are made (actuarial assumptions) about demographic variables

(such as employee turnover and mortality of employees) and financial variables (such as future

increases in salaries and expenses on medical services) that will affect the cost of the benefits;

• so defined benefits are discounted to determine the present value of the obligation for defined

benefits and the expenses for current service cost;

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

3.5 Employee benefits (continued)

Defined benefits plan (continued)

The current and past service costs and the interest on the liability of the defined benefits plan are

recognized in profit or loss for the period.

Revaluations of liabilities on the defined benefits plan (actuarial gain or loss) are recognized through

other comprehensive income in equity as a reserve for retirement benefits liabilities. Released from

this reserve amounts are transferred through other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

Pension costs are charged or reflected in profit or loss for the period of service of the respective

employees. Past service costs are recognized immediately to the extent that the benefits are already

vested.

The amount of the retirement benefits obligation, reported in the statement of the financial position

represents the present value of the defined benefits obligation of the Company.

3.6 Taxation

According to the Bulgarian tax legislation, the Company is subject to corporate income tax. The

corporate income tax rate for 2016 and 2015 is 10 % on the taxable profit.

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on the taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit

before taxes as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expenses that

are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or

deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted

by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying

amounts of assets and liabilities in the separate financial statements and the corresponding tax bases

used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax

assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available, against

which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each year and reduced to the

extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of

the asset to be recovered.

Furthermore at the end of each reporting period deferred tax assets not-recognized in previous

reporting periods are reviewed. Such assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable to generate

sufficient taxable profit in future, against which the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is

settled or the asset realized. Deferred tax is recognized charged or credited in the income statement,

except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is

also dealt with in equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when they relate to income taxes levied by the same

taxation authority and the Company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

3.7 Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially carried at cost, including purchase cost and any related

costs, less any subsequently accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses.

After initial recognition, land, buildings, plants and equipment are stated at their revalued amounts,

being the fair value at the date of revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and

subsequent accumulated impairment losses. Revaluations are performed by licensed appraisers with

sufficient regularity so that the carrying amounts do not differ materially from that which would be

determined using fair values at the end of each reporting period.

Increases in the carrying amount of assets as a result of the revaluation are credited directly to equity

as a revaluation surplus. Decreases in carrying amounts of assets as a result of the revaluation are

recognized as expenses. However, a revaluation decrease is debited directly to revaluation reserve to

the extent that the decrease does not exceed the amount held in the revaluation surplus in respect of

those assets. The accumulated depreciation of revalued assets at the date of the revaluation is restated

proportionally with the change in the gross carrying amount of the assets, so that the carrying amount

of the assets after the revaluation equals the revalued amount.

On subsequent disposal of a revalued property, plant and equipment the attributable revaluation

surplus remaining in the revaluation reserve is transferred to retained earnings, net of deferred taxes.

At the end of each reporting period, the management of the Company reviews the carrying amounts of

property, plant and equipment, which have not been valuated by a licenced appraiser and determines

whether there is any indication for impairment of these assets.

Land and buildings, which are held to earn rentals are presented as investment property (see also note

3.9 and note 18).

The depreciation charge starts after putting the respective assets into operation and commences on the

earlier of their date of reclassification as held for sale, as required by IFRS 5 Non-current assets held

for sale and discontinued operations and their date of disposal.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is charged over their estimated useful lives under the

straight-line method. The estimated useful lives of the assets in years are, as follows:

2016 2015

Buildings 25 - 30 25 - 30

Plant and equipment 5 - 17 5 - 17

Vehicles 10 10

Office equipment 6-7 6-7

Other non-current assets 5 5

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as

owned assets. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the

end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives.

Depreciation is not provided for land, fully depreciated assets and assets in process of acquisition or

construction.

3.7 Property, plant and equipment (continued)

Assets are derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from

the continued use of the asset. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is

determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is

recognized in the income statement.

3.8 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any subsequent impairment

losses.

Amortization of intangible assets is charged over their estimated useful lives, under the straight-line

method, which period is from 2 to 7 years.

European Union Emissions Trading Scheme and emission reduction units of greenhouse gases

The EU Allowances (EUA), received under the National Plan for allocation of allowances for trade

with emissions of greenhouse gases, are reported as intangible assets. Upon their initial acquisition, the

allocated allowances for emissions of greenhouse gases are recognized as intangible assets at nominal

value (zero value). The purchased allowances are recognized upon their acquisition at purchase price.

The allowances for emissions of greenhouse gases are not depreciated.

As at the end of each reporting period, for the amount of greenhouse gases emitted during the period

over the available distributed and purchased allowances, the Company recognizes a liability in the

statement of financial position. The liability is valued at cost of the allowances purchased, used to

cover the excess and on market prices as at the date of the statement of financial position for the

excess over the available allowances, as the liability amount and the changes therein are recognized in

profit or loss for the reporting period.

3.9 Investment property

Investment property is property held to earn rentals and is carried at fair value. As a part of property,

plant and equipment of the Company, investment properties are revaluated to their fair value by

licensed appraisers to the date of their classification as investment property. If an asset’s carrying

amount is increased as a result of such revaluation, the increase is credited directly to equity as

revaluation surplus.

The revaluation decrease is recognized in the income statement or is debited directly to equity as

revaluation surplus to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of

that asset. After transfer of assets to investment property, subsequent gains or losses from changes in

fair value are recognized in the net profit for the period when they arise.

An investment property is derecognized upon disposal or when the investment property is permanently

withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected from the disposal. Any gain or loss

arising on derecognition of the property is calculated as the difference between the disposal proceeds

and the carrying amount of the asset and is included in the income statement.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant

lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the

carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

3.10 Impairment of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and investment property

At the end of the reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant

and equipment, intangible assets and investment property to determine whether there is any indication

of impairment. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order

to determine the extent of the impairment loss. Where the recoverable amount of an asset cannot be

reliably measured, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, to

which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in

use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate

that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset

for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying

amount, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount.

The impairment loss is recognized as expense immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a

revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (cash-generating

unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, 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 immediately, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in

which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

3.11. Investment in subsidiaries

The Company reports its investment in subsidiary at historical cost in these separate financial

statements.

3.12 Inventories

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost comprises of all costs of

purchase, transportation, customs duties and other related costs.

Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and

costs to sell.

The costs of conversion of inventories include costs directly attributable to the units of production.

They also include a systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred

in converting materials into finished goods. The costs of conversion of each product, which are not

separately identifiable, are allocated between the products on a rational and consistent basis.

Assignment of the cost is determined on a weighted average basis.

3.12 Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the Company’s statement of financial

position only when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets are derecognized from the statement of financial position when the contractual rights

to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or the assets are transferred and the transfer

qualifies for derecognition in accordance with the derecognition requirements of IAS 39 Financial

Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. Financial liabilities are derecognized from the statement

of financial position only when they are extinguished – i.e. when the obligation specified in the

contract is discharged or cancelled, or expired.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

3.13 Financial instruments (continued)

On initial recognition financial assets/(liabilities) are measured at fair value plus, in the case of

financial assets/(liabilities) not reported at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs, which are

directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial assets/(liabilities).

For the purposes of subsequent measurement, in the current and prior reporting periods the Company

classifies the financial assets and financial liabilities into the following categories: loans and

receivables, and other financial liabilities (other than those, reported at fair value through profit or

loss). The classification under each category depends on the purpose and term of the respective

contract.

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company, are classified as either financial liabilities or as

equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a

financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a

residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities.

Financial assets

Financial assets comprise cash on hand and in bank accounts, loans granted, trade and other

receivables and derivative financial instruments.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include trade and other payables, loans received, finance lease liabilities and

derivative financial instruments.

Effective interest rate

The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortized cost of a financial asset or a

liability (or group of financial assets/liabilities) and of allocating the interest expense or interest

income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts the

estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or,

when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

Impairment of financial assets

As of the date of the separate financial statements the Company assesses whether there is any

objective evidence for impairment of all financial assets, except for financial assets reported at fair

value through profit or loss. A financial asset is impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of

impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the

asset, resulting in a decrease of the estimated future cash flows. It may not be possible to identify a

single, discrete event, rather than a combined effect of several events that may have caused the

impairment.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

3.12 Financial instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets (continued)

The Company recognizes impairment of trade and other receivables, whether there is objective

evidence, that the Company would not be able to collect all amounts due at their maturity date. The

Company considers as indications for potential impairment significant financial problems of the

debtor, the probability that the debtor will be a subject to a bankruptcy procedure or non-fulfillment of

the contract terms, as well as payment delay. If any of these indications for impairment occurs, the

impairment loss is calculated as a difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the

expected future cash flows, discounted by the original effective interest rate for similar assets. For

trade receivables that are insured, the impairment equals the difference between the carrying amount

of the receivables and their insurance value. The impairment is recorded by using a separate

impairment account, which is shown as a reduction to receivables in the statement of financial position

and the impairment expenses are stated as Administrative expenses or Distribution expenses in the

income statement depending on the type of the impaired receivable. If a receivable is non-collectable

and there is a recognized impairment loss for it, the receivable is written off by decrease of the

respective allowance account. The recovery of the loss from impairment of trade receivables is

reported in profit or loss and is stated as a decrease of the item, in which the impairment has been

previously recorded.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company uses forward contracts to hedge risks, associated with changes in market prices of the

aluminum on the London Metal Exchange. Such contracts are classified as cash flow hedges as they

hedge the Company’s exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to the particular price

risk associated with forecasted sale and purchase transactions. Derivatives are initially recognised at

fair value at the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair

value at the end of each reporting period. The fair value of such forward contracts is determined by

reference to the current prices of these contracts on the London Metal Exchange.

The unrealized gain or loss on the forward contracts that are determined to be effective hedge is

recognized through other comprehensive income and is accumulated in a hedging reserve. When a

hedged transaction affects the net profit or loss, the unrealized gain or loss recognized beforehand in a

hedging reserve, is included in the purchase price of the respective acquired inventory.

The Company uses foreign currency swap contracts to hedge its risks associated with the changes in

the foreign currency rates of a long-term debt, denominated in USD. These contracts are classified as

fair value hedges and are initially recognized based on the fair value as of the contract date and

subsequently remeasured to their fair value as of the end of the reporting period. The realized gains

and losses, and the differences in fair value of the foreign currency swap contracts as at the end of the

reporting period are charged in the income statement.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or

exercised.

3.13.1 Cash and cash equivalents

For the purposes of cash flow presentation, cash and cash equivalents represent unrestricted cash on

hand and at banks, deposits maturing within 3 months. For the purposes of the cash flow statement

presentation cash receipts from customers and cash payments to suppliers are presented as gross

amounts, including value added tax (VAT). VAT on purchase of property, plant and equipment and

intangible assets is presented as payments to suppliers in the cash flows from operating activities.

Bank overdrafts and restricted cash are stated as decrease in cash and cash equivalents in the statement

of cash flows.

3.13.2 Equity investments and loans granted

The equity investments are non-tradable and are stated at cost less any impairment loss.

Long-term loans granted are initially carried at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost

using effective interest rate, which, due to the substance of the loan agreement, coincides with the

interest rate negotiated.

3.13.3 Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments

that are not quoted in an active market. They are originated when the Company provides cash, goods

for sale or services having no intention to trade them. Receivables are stated at amortized cost,

calculated under the effective interest rate method. For current receivables, which will be settled

within normal credit terms, the amortized cost approximates their nominal value.

3.13.4 Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables incurred as a result of purchases of goods or services, which are not

classified as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss, are stated in the

statement of financial position at amortized cost, calculated under the effective interest rate method.

For current payables, which will be settled whithin normal credit terms, the amortized cost

approximates their nominal value.

3.13.5 Borrowings and leasing

All borrowings are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of

issue costs associated with the borrowing. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and

borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs, and any discount or premium on

settlement. Gains and losses are recognized in the net profit or loss when the liabilities are

derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the

risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Company at the lower of the present

value of the minimum lease payments and their fair value at the date of acquisition. The corresponding

liability to the lessor is included in the statement of financial position as a finance lease obligation.

Finance costs, which represent the difference between the total leasing commitments and the fair value

of the assets acquired, are charged to the income statement over the term of the relevant lease so as to

produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the remaining balance of the obligations for each

accounting period.

3.13.6 Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Company’s borrowings will fluctuate due to changes

in market interest rates. Part of the Company’s borrowings are contracted at a floating interest rate and

thus expose the Company to eventual interest rate risk (see also notes 26 and 31).

3.13.7 Credit risk

Financial assets, which potentially expose the Company to credit risk, consist mainly of trade

receivables and advance payments. The Company is primarily exposed to credit risk in the event

where its customers fail to perform their obligations. The Company’s policy is to enter into sales

transactions with customers having favorable credit reputation. In addition, the trade receivables are

secured against future risks by credit limits, which are defined by the insurance company based on

preliminary client research. The Company would receive 90 % of the respective trade receivable as a

compensation, if the clients fail to pay their obligations (see also note 31).

3.13.8 Foreign currency risk

The Company enters into international transactions related mainly to the purchases of raw materials,

sales of finished goods and loans (see note 2.3). Metal hedge operations are completed at cross

currency rates to eliminate the currency risk between the selling price currency and purchase currency

of metals for each order. Therefore, metal hedge operations cover both risk associated with changes in

market prices of the metals on the London Metal Exchange and foreign currency risk (see also

notes 24 and 31).

3.13.9 Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk arises from the time difference in the contracted maturities of the monetary liabilities

and the possibility that the liabilities are not settled on maturity. The Company manages this risk by

using appropriate methods of planning, including providing overdrafts, daily liquidity reports, short-

term and mid-term cash flows forecasts (see also note 31).

3.14 Accruals

Accruals are recognized when the Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it

is probable that the Company will be required to settle that obligation. Accruals are measured at the

management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the date of the

separate financial statements, and are discounted to present value where the effect is material.

3.15 Government grants

Government grants, (financing, government grants), are assistance by the government, government

agencies and similar bodies in the form of transfers of resources to the Company in return for future

compliance with certain conditions relating to the operating activities of the Company. Government

grants may be (i) related to assets and (ii) related to income.

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that: (i) the Company will

comply with the conditions attaching to them; and (ii) the grants will be received.

3 Significant accounting policies (continued)

3.15 Government grants (continued)

The government grants received by the Company are related to assets and the main condition is to

purchase, produce or acquire in other manner property, plant and equipment. They are presented in the

statement of financial position as deferred income, that are recognized as income on a systematic and

rational basis over the useful life of the acquired assets.

Grants related income are presented as part of profit or loss in the income statement as other income.

3.16 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The application of IFRS requires management to apply certain accounting assumptions and accounting

estimates in the preparation of the separate financial statements, which affect the reported assets,

liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as at the end of the reporting period and

the amounts of revenue and expenses reported during the period. All of them are based on the best

estimate of management as of the date of the preparation of the financial statements. The actual results

may differ from those presented in these financial statements.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end

of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying

amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year, are: the useful lives and fair value of

property, plant and equipment (note 3.7), impairment of assets (note 3.10), fair value of investment

property (note 3.9), fair value of derivatives (note 3.13) and the retirement benefits obligation

(note 3.5).

3.17 Correction of errors from prior periods

In 2016 the Company’s management identified and corrected retrospectively the following accounting

errors and the comparative information for 2015 was restated. Retained earnings, revaluation reserve,

inventory, receivables from clients, revenue, cost of sale, other income, other expenses, current and

deferred taxes, cash and cash equivalents for the purposes of the statement of cash flows are adjusted

as stated in the tables below:

А) Bank overdraft balances of the Company are not reported as decrease in cash and cash equivalents

at the beginning and at the end of the year for the purposes of the statement of cash flows according to

the requirements of IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows. Cash flows related to utilized and paid pack

overdrafts are disclosed in cash flows from financing activities. In order to correct the error the

statement of cash flows for 2015 was restated and the liabilities under overdrafts are disclosed as

decrease in cash and cash equivalents, and the beginning and the end of the period and the utilized and

paid back overdrafts are removed from cash flows from financing activities.

B) Revenue has been recognized prior meeting the criteria of IAS 19 Revenue for recognition and in

particular, before transferring in major degree risks and rewards from ownership of finished goods to

clients. For correcting the error the income statement and the statement of financial position were

restated with regard to revenue, cost of sales, receivables, inventories.

3.17 Correction of errors from prior periods (continued)

C) In 2015 indications for impairment of Company’s investment properties existed since their fair

value according the evaluation report is lower than their carrying amount and the impairment was not

recorded in the Company’s accounting records for 2015, which contradicts with the requirements of

IAS 40 Investment Property. In order to correct the error investment properties was impaired to their

fair value and the impairment was reflected as a decrease in revaluation reserve and the surplus over it

– to the income statement for 2015.

D) In 2015 the balances and transactions with related party to the Company – an entity under common

control, are not stated in the related party disclosures, trade receivables and trade payables which does

not comply with IAS 24 Related Parties.

E) In 2015 the Company has reported other income and other expenses with regard to operations

related to provision of production waste for processing by third parties and its commitment for

purchase them back in the form of secondary aluminum, which does not comply with IAS 18

Revenue. For correcting the error the Company’s management corrected other income and other

expenses.

F) The Company’s management adjusted tax expenses, current tax payables, deferred tax balances

with the effect of errors specified above.

2. Assembling of the following ancillary equipment connected with the operation of the cold

rolling mill:

- Filter system for purification of oil aerosols from the emissions into the atmosphere from

the cold rolling mill

- Machine for coil slitting

- Two gas furnaces for annealing of coils with servicing operator

- Cooling chamber for coils after annealing

- Cooling tower for circulating water – 3 cooling towers

- Assembling of new carbon dioxide reservoir

- Assembling of furnace for artificial aging of profiles in the extrusion shop

After completing the overall investment program the total volume of production of the Company is

expected to increase by a minimum of 35 % with retaining the same level of profitability.

As of December 31, 2015 a valuation of the Company’s buildings, plant and equipment was performed

by Simeon Kutsarov, licensed appraiser, to determine the fair value of buildings, plant and equipment.

The valuation was performed in accordance with the International Valuation Standards and in

compliance with the method of amortized recoverable amount. Due to the specific characteristics of

certain items of plant and equipment, which are produced specially for the Company in accordance

with technical specifications and due to the fact that there are no similar assets and no active market

for them the appraiser has used the historical cost of the assets which is believed to be the best

estimate of their recoverable amount. The valuation was influenced by the assumptions for the

recoverable amount, the physical condition, wearing out of plant and equipment and residual useful

life.

As at December 31, 2015 a valuation was performed by the same licensed appraiser of separate groups

of assets from property, plant and equipment, and of assets under construction.

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 assets under construction include expenses amounting to

BGN 3,546 thousand and BGN 4,311 thousand, respectively related to construction of secondary

aluminum workshop. The construction project dated as of the beginning of 1990 was suspended before

being fully accomplished. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014 the Management of the Company

intends to fulfill the project by the financial support of investors. Machinery and equipment of the

secondary aluminum workshop are impaired to their liquidation amount. As of December 31, 2015

and 2014 the recoverable amount of the secondary aluminum workshop and its plant and equipment

was valued by a licensed appraiser.

As at December 31, 2015 impairment is accrued at the amount of BGN 765 thousand, and as at

December 31, 2014 the recoverable amount of these assets did not differ significantly from their fair

value. In 2016 the management of the Company has written off assets under construction related to the

secondary aluminum workshop at the amount of BGN 1,994 thousand because they were considered

obsolete. As of December 31, 2016 the management decided not to complete the project with investors

and reviewed the option for sale of the assets.

As of December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Management of the Company has analyzed the carrying

amount of its property, plant and equipment, that have not been evaluated as described above, and

assessed that it does not differ significantly from their fair value.

arrived at by reference to market evidence of transaction prices for similar properties. In 2016 and

2015 after a valuation was performed by the appraiser the fair value of the investment property was

lower than their carrying amount and therefore they were impaired by the Company.

using a discount rate of Bulgarian government securities, denominated

in BGN, with maturity up to 10 years, and the data for the following

periods is received by data interpolating.

Interest risk A decrease in the interest rate of the Bulgarian government securities

will increase the defined benefit plan liability.

Longevity risk The present value of the defined benefit liability is calculated by

reference to the best estimate of the mortality of plan participants.

Salary risk The present value of the defined benefit plan liability is calculated by

reference to the future salaries of plan participants. An increase in the

salary of the plan participants will increase the plan’s liability.

obligation liability, recognized in the Statement of Financial Position.

The financial instruments used expose the Company to market, credit and liquidity risk. Information in

regard to purposes, policies and processes concerning the management of those risks, as well as the

capital management is provided below.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or the future cash flows of financial instruments may vary due

to the changes in market prices. The associated market risk is foreign currency risk, interest risk or

price risk.

Foreign currency risk

The Company enters into international transactions, denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, the

Company is exposed to market risk related to possible foreign currency fluctuations. Such risk is

mainly connected to the USD/BGN exchange rate fluctuations, because the Company’s transactions

related to purchases of raw materials and sales of finished goods are denominated in USD. The

Company does not have any loans received or granted, denominated in USD. Transactions in EUR do

not expose the Company to foreign currency risk as since January 1, 1999 the Bulgarian lev has been

pegged to the Euro at a fixed exchange rate.

Total financial liabilities (174) (322) (476) (852)

Total financial assets/(liabilities), net 670 1,245 365 654

The sensitivity analysis of foreign currency risk is calculated at a change of 5% of the USD/BGN

exchange rate. Management believes that this change is reasonably possible, based on statistical data

for the dynamics in variations for the previous year. If as at December 31, 2016 and 2015 the

USD/BGN exchange rate had increased by 5%, and, with all other variables held constant, the profit

after tax would have increased by BGN 67 thousand for 2016, and by BGN 33 thousand for 2015,

mainly as a result of exchange rate differences arising from revaluation of trade receivables for 2016

and trade liabilities, denominated in USD for 2015. The difference in the sensitivity of the profit after

taxation for 2016 to changes in the exchange rate of the USD compared to 2015 is insignificant.

Most of the sales of the Company are concentrated in countries from the European Union, including

Bulgaria, as 97 % of the sales are realized in this region. Transactions with customers from those

countries are negotiated in EUR, that basically eliminates foreign currency risk. In addition, owing to

the increasing importance of the EUR as a global currency, the Company has the opportunity to realize

some of its sales in EUR outside the European Union as well, that further mitigates the foreign

currency risk.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk, because the main part of the loans received are

contracted under the terms of floating interest rate, negotiated as a base interest rate (LIBOR,

EURIBOR) with a certain mark-up, which varies between 3% and 4%. In 2016 and 2015 the loans

with a floating interest rate are denominated in BGN and EUR.

The Company continuously monitors and analyses its main interest exposures and develops certain

scenarios in regard to their optimization, including re-financing, renewal of existing loans, alternative

financing (contracts for sale and lease-back of assets), as well as develops estimates of the impact of

the interest rate fluctuations in a certain range over the financial result.

Lease agreements 196 196 196

Total interest expenses 1,803 3,094 494

Total interest expenses, net 1,653 2,944 344

Price risk

Price risk is related to possible changes in the market prices of equity instruments held for sale and of

the Company’s finished goods.

Changes in selling prices of finished goods depend vastly on movements in the price of aluminum on

the international stock exchange. The Company uses forward contracts to hedge the risks associated

with changes in market prices of aluminum on the London Metal Exchange. These contracts are

classified as cash flow hedges as they hedge the Company’s exposure to variability in cash flows that

is attributable to the particular price risk associated with forecasted sale and purchase transactions (see

note 24).

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a party to a financial instrument is unable to pay its liabilities and thus cause

financial loss to the other party. Financial assets, which potentially expose the Company to credit risk,

are mainly trade receivables and interest-bearing loans granted. Primarily, the Company is exposed to

credit risk in the event where its customers fail to perform their obligations. In order to mitigate the

credit risk the Company has concluded contracts with an international and a Bulgarian insurance

companies in regard of trade receivables insurance. Additionally, the Company directs its policy to

enter into sales transactions with customers having favorable credit reputation, and, to use adequate

collaterals in order to mitigate the risk of possible financial losses. The estimations for favorable credit

reputation of the customers are based on the financial position, previous experience and other factors.

Credit limits are determined, which are strictly monitored.

the Company operates only with banks having high credit reputation.

the Company is exposed.

whose effective interest rate is 6,5% per annum (see also note 19).

Liquidity risk

Company manages this risk by securing enough liquid funds, which should be used to settle the

financial liabilities when they become executable, including in extraordinary or unexpected

circumstances. The aim of the management is to maintain a stable balance between constant

availability and flexibility of the financial resources through use of different forms of financing.

Management of the liquidity risk is the responsibility of the Managing and Supervisory Boards. and

includes maintaining of sufficient monetary funds, successfully negotiating of adequate credit lines,

preparing, analyzing and updating of cash flows forecasts.

31 Financial instruments and risk management (continued)

Equity management

The Company manages its capital to ensure its operation as a going concern and at the same time

strives to maximize shareholder wealth through optimization of the debt-equity ratio (return on

invested capital). The purpose of the Management is to support the trust of investors, creditors and

market and to guarantee future development of the Company.

The Management of the Company observes the equity structure on the basis of debt-to-equity ratio.

Net debt includes long-term and short-term loans, as well as long-term and short-term finance lease

liabilities less cash.

The Management of the Company determines the amount of necessary capital proportionally to the

risk level, with which the separate activities can be characterized (projects, business segments).

Support and correction of equity structure is done in relation with changes in economic conditions as

well as the risk level of the respective assets (projects), in which it is invested. Basic instruments

which are used for equity management are: issuance of equity and debt instruments, sales of assets

with the purpose to decrease level of obligations, debt refinancing through issuance of instruments

with longer maturity, etc. All decisions for changes in this direction are based on balance of price and

risk, attributable to different sources of financing.

Net debt to adjusted equity ratio for 2016 and 2015 is, as follows:

In accordance with the requirements of Art. 252 of the Commerce Act, the Company should maintain

the value of its net assets above the value of its registered share capital. As at December 31, 2016 and

2015 the Company adheres to these requirements, as its net assets amount to BGN 165,598 thousand

and BGN 139,763 thousand, respectively, and the registered share capital amounts to

BGN 17,953 thousand.

The Company manages its capital in a proper manner in order to ensure its activity as a going concern.

As at December 31, 2016 and 2015 the Company’s current liabilities exceed the current assets by

BGN 34,483 thousand and BGN 10,805 thousand, respectively. Management of the Company believes

that in the future it could sustain its normal activities through self-financing and increase of the

operating efficiency.
