Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Law on Auditing and the Law on Accounting of the Republic of Serbia and applicable auditing standards in the Republic of Serbia. Our responsibilities under those regulations are further described in the Auditor's Responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants International Code of Ethics for

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. They are the most significant assessed risks of material misstatements, including those due to fraud, described below and we performed appropriate audit procedures to address theseProfessional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in the Republic of Serbia and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

matters. Key audit matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon we have summarised our response to those risks. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the following key audit matters:

Impairment of goodwill

As at 31 December 2020, carrying amount of goodwill: RSD 1,322,704 thousand (31 December 2019: RSD 1,354,508 thousand). For the year ended 31 December 2020, impairment losses: RSD 26,506 thousand (2019: RSD 180,004 thousand).

We refer to the consolidated financial statements: Note 8 "Intangible assets", Note 36 "Other expenses", Note 2.8 "Goodwill", Note 2.9 "Intangible assets", Note 3.4 " Impairment of Goodwill".

Key audit matter

Our response

In prior years the Group recognized goodwill on business combinations which as at 31 December 2020 is carried at RSD 1,322,704 thousand. Pursuant to the relevant provisions of the financial reporting standards, goodwill should be tested for impairment on an annual basis or earlier when impairment indications exist. As disclosed in Note 8, based on its current year's test, the Group recognized an impairment loss of RSD 26,506 thousand in respect of goodwill.

The Group monitors goodwill either on individual CGUs or a group of cash generating units ("CGUs"). The recoverable amount of the underlying CGUs is determined by value-in-use calculations which are based on future discounted cash flows. Determination of the recoverable amount requires from the Group to make significant assumptions and judgments, in

In this area, our procedures included, among other things, the following:

  • - Considering the appropriateness of the

    Group's value in use model ("impairment model") applied to perform the annual impairment test, against the relevant requirements of the financial reporting standards;

  • - Evaluation the appropriateness of asset grouping into CGUs, based on our understanding of the Group's operations and business units;

  • - Evaluating the quality of the Group's forecasting by comparing future projections with the actual outcomes, and also tracing the forecast cash flows in the impairment model to management approved forecasts;

  • - Assisted by our own valuation specialists:

ii

particular those relating to future gross margin, discount rates and growth rates.

Complex models using forward-looking assumptions tend to be prone to greater risk of management bias, error and inconsistent application. These conditions necessitate our additional attention in the audit, in particular to address the objectivity of sources used for assumptions, and their consistent application.

Due to the above factors, we considered this area to be a key audit matter.

  • - challenging the reasonableness of the Group's key assumptions and judgments used in estimating the recoverable amount, including the average gross margin by reference to historical data of the Group, the discount and growth rates used by reference to publicly available market data,

  • - assessing the internal integrity of the impairment model including the accuracy of the underlying calculation formulas.

  • - Considering the sensitivity of the impairment model to changes in forecast gross margin, growth rates and discount rates to identify the assumptions at higher risk of bias or inconsistency in application;

  • - Assessing impairment-related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements against the requirements of the financial reporting standards.

Decommissioning and restoration provisions

Accounting policies and financial disclosures with respect to provisions for decommissioning and restoration are disclosed in Notes 2.19, 3.6, 21, 25, 33 and 35 to the consolidated financial statements.

Carrying amount of decommissioning and restoration provisions as at 31 December 2020: RSD 10,338,464 thousand; New decommissioning provisions and changes in estimates in decommissioning liability amount to RSD 345,084 thousand for the year 2020; Effects of unwinding of discount on decommissioning provision for the year 2020 amount to RSD 88,078 thousand; Income from release of provisions for the year 2020 amount to RSD 695,704 thousand.

Key audit matter

Our response

Decommissioning and restoration provisions represent present value of estimated costs of removal of items of property, plant and equipment at the end of their useful life and restoration of the site (decommission assets). The obligation to remove the assets and to restore the site arises on installation of extraction equipment. Decommission assets are recorded in an amount equal to the estimated provision and depreciated in accordance with the adopted accounting policy. All changes in the decommissioning provision, other than changes resulting from the unwinding of the discount, which are recorded in profit or loss, are added to or deducted from the cost of the related decommission asset in the current period. Once an item of property, plant and equipment has been fully depreciated and the

In this area, our procedures included, among other things, the following:

  • - Obtaining understanding of the legal framework relating to the decommissioning and environmental protection and its effect on the Group's present or constructive obligation to decommission assets and to restore the site;

  • - Evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used against requirements of the relevant reporting framework and industry practice;

  • - Testing the design and implementation of relevant internal controls over the identified business process for identifying obligating events, measurement and

iii

asset has a net carrying amount (gross carrying amount less accumulated depreciation) of zero in the balance sheet, further changes in any related provision for decommissioning are recognised in profit or loss.

The Group reviews decommissioning and restoration provisions on an annual basis. This review incorporates the effects of any changes in local regulations, management's plans with respect to decommissioning and restoration including their expected timing, cost estimates and discount rate.

Determination of decommissioning and restoration provisions is the complex area and requires making a number of assumptions and judgments, in particular those relating to estimated costs and timing of decommissioning and restoration activities as well as discount rate. In addition, there is a large number of wells which makes the estimation process time consuming and prone to errors.

Due to the above, assessment of the appropriateness of these provisions required our increased attention in the course of our audit. As a consequence, we consider the area to be our key audit matter.

Other Matter

The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended 31 December 2019 were audited by another

Other Information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the consolidated Annual Business Report for the year ended 31 December 2020. The consolidated Annual Business Report is expected to be made available to us after the date of this auditor's report.

Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we will not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

recognition of provision, subsequent changes in recognized provisions and use of provisions;

  • - Assessing the Group's discounted cash flow model against the relevant financial reporting standards, market practice and for internal consistency;

  • - Testing on a sample basis the accuracy of data with respect to the current status and depth of oil wells included in the provision to the underlying technical documentation;

  • - Evaluating appropriateness of assumed timing for dismantling and restoration activities by reference to documented oil reserves and approved production plans;

  • - Challenging the appropriateness of the discount rate by reference to publicly available market data.

  • - Analysing the sensitivity of the Group's estimate to changes in the discount rate and assessing whether its level indicates management bias;

  • - Examining whether the Group's disclosures in the consolidated financial statements appropriately include and describe the relevant quantitative and qualitative information required by the applicable financial reporting framework;

auditor who expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements on 26 February 2020.

In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the consolidated Annual Business Report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance and we are required to report that fact.

iv

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the accounting regulations effective in the Republic of Serbia, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group'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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Law on Auditing of the Republic of Serbia and applicable auditing standards in the Republic of Serbia will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law on Auditing of the Republic of Serbia and applicable auditing standards in the Republic of Serbia, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 Group's internal control;

  • - Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management;

  • - Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group'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 consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern;

- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

v

- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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 communicatewith them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

2.1.

Basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 were prepared in accordance with the Law on Accounting of the Republic of which requires full scope of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to be applied as translated into Serbian and the other regulations issued by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Serbia. The translation of IFRS which is confirmed and published by the Ministry of Finance comprises the basic texts of IAS and IFRS as published by the International Accounting Standards Board, including interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee in the form in which they are published and which do not include basis for conclusions, illustrative examples, guidelines, comments, opposing opinions, developed examples and other additional explanatory materials which can be adopted in respect of the standards or interpretations, unless it is explicitly stated that they are integral to the standard or interpretation. Also, the Law on Accounting establishes the dinar (RSD) as the official reporting currency (functional and presentation currency).In addition the Law requires certain presentations and treatments of accounts and balances which results in the following additional departures from IFRS:

  • The financial statements are prepared in the format prescribed by the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Serbia,

  • "Off-balance sheet assets and liabilities" are recorded on the face of the balance sheet. Such items do not meet the definition of either an asset or a liability under IFRS.

As a result, the accompanying consolidated financial statements cannot be considered as financial statements prepared in full compliance with IFRS.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the Law on Accounting of the Republic of Serbia requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3.

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared based on the going concern principle, which assumes that the Group will continue to operate in the foreseeable future. In order to assess the reasonability of this assumption, management reviews forecasts of future cash inflows. Based on these reviews, management believes that the Group will be able to continue to operate as a going concern in the foreseeable future (refer to note 3.1 for Implications of Going Concern and Implications of COVID-19) and, therefore, this principle should be applied in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements.

At the date of signing consolidated financial statements, crude oil price increased since 31 December 2020 from 50.485 $/barrel to 68.735 $/barrel. Management is monitoring situation on the market and in parallel preparing different scenarios to respond to any major fluctuation of crude oil prices.

2.2.

Basis of measurement

These consolidated financial statements are prepared on the historical cost basis, except certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value.

2.3.

Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified as the Board of Directors and the General Manager Advisory Board. The main indicator for assessing performance of operating segments is EBITDA, which is regularly reported to the chief operating decision-maker. The information on segment assets and liabilities are not regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

2.4.

Seasonality of Operations

The Group as a whole is not subject to significant seasonal fluctuation.

2.5.

Foreign currency translation

(a)

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates (''the functional currency''). The consolidated financial statements are presented in Serbian dinars ("RSD"), which is the functional currency of the Company and presentation currency of the Group.

(b)

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the consolidated income statement.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents and other monetary assets and liabilities are presented in the consolidated income statement within 'Finance income or expense'.

(c)

Group's Companies

The result and financial position of all Group companies whose functional currency is different from the

Group's presentation currency are calculated as follows:

  • I. assets and liabilities are translated into the RSD using the exchange rate as at reporting date;

  • II. income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates and all resulting foreign exchange differences are recognized in reserves as separate items in equity.

2.6.

Principles of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of subsidiaries in which the Group has control. Control implies rights or exposure to variable returns from the involvement with the investee and the ability to affect those returns through the power over the investee. An investor has power over an investee when the investor has existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities, i.e. the activities that significantly affect the investee's returns. An investor is exposed, or has the right to variable returns from its involvement with investee when the investor's return from its involvement has the potential to vary as a result of the investee's performance. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group from the date when control commences until the date when control ceases.

In accessing control, Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that are substantive. Investments in entities that the Group does not control, but where it has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are accounted for under equity method except for investments that meet criteria of joint operations, which are accounted for on the basis of the Group's interest in the assets, liabilities, expenses and revenue of the joint operation. All other investments are classified either as held-to-maturity or as available for sale.

(a)

Joint Operations and Joint Ventures

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

Where the Group acts as a joint operator, the Group recognises in relation to its interest in a joint operation:

  • - Its assets, including its share of any assets held jointly;

  • - Its liabilities, including its share of any liabilities incurred jointly;

  • - Its revenue from the sale of its share of the output arising from the joint operation;

  • - Its share of the revenue from the sale of the output by the joint operation; and

  • - Its expenses, including its share of any expenses incurred jointly.

With regards to joint arrangements, where the Group acts as a joint venturer, the Group recognises its interest in a joint venture as an investment and accounts for that investment using the equity method.

(b)

Transactions Eliminated on Consolidation

Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group's interest in the investee. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

(c)

Non-controlling interests

In the consolidated financial statements, non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are presented separately from the Group equity as non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interest is measured at fair value or at its proportionate share in the acquiree's net identifiable assets. For each business combination a separate measurement principle is determined.

(d)

Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the investor has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but is not control or joint control over those policies. Investments in associate are accounted for using equity method and are recognised initially at cost. After application of the equity method, the Group determines whether it is necessary to recognise an impairment loss on its investment in its associate. At each reporting date, the

Group determines whether there is objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired.

2.7.

Business combinations

The Group accounts for its business combinations according to IFRS 3 Business Combinations. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair value of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group and recognised goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

2.8.

Goodwill

Goodwill is measured by deducting the net assets of the acquiree from the aggregate of the consideration transferred for the acquiree, the amount of non-controlling interest in the acquiree and fair value of an interest in the acquiree held immediately before the acquisition date. Any negative amount ('bargain purchase') is recognized in profit or loss, after Management identified all assets acquired and all liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed and reviewed the appropriateness of their measurement.

The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in consolidated profit or loss. Transaction costs, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.

2.9.

Intangible assets

(a)

Goodwill

Goodwill that arises from business combination is included in intangible assets. Subsequently goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs, or groups of CGUs, that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes.

Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the recoverable amount, which is the higher of value in use and the fair value less costs of disposal. Any impairment is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed (note 8).

(b)

Licenses and rights

Separately acquired licenses are shown at historical cost. Licenses have a finite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of licences over their estimated useful lives. (average usefull life is 5 years)

Licenses and rights include Oil and Gas Upstream Exploration Rights, which are amortised in accordance with the terms and conditions of the rights.

(c)

Software

These include primarily the costs of implementation the (SAP) computer software program. Acquired software licenses are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software.

These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives (not to exceed 8 years).

2.10.

Oil and Gas properties

(a)

Exploration and evaluation expenditure

The Group follows the successful efforts method of accounting for its exploration and evaluation assets.

Acquisition costs include amounts paid for the acquisition of exploration and development licenses.

Exploration and evaluation assets include:

  • Costs of topographical, geological, and geophysical studies and rights of access to properties to conduct those studies;

  • Costs of carrying and retaining undeveloped properties;

  • Bottom hole contribution;

  • Dry hole contribution; and

  • Costs of drilling and equipping exploratory wells.

The costs incurred in finding, acquiring, and developing reserves are capitalised on a 'field by field' basis.

On discovery of a commercially-viable mineral reserve, the capitalised costs are allocated to the discovery. If a discovery is not made, the expenditure is charged as an expense. Exploratory drilling costs and dry and bottom hole contributions are temporarily capitalised under the successful effort method and treated as Oil and gas assets within Property, plant and equipment.

Costs of topographical, geological, and geophysical studies, rights of access to properties to conduct those studies are temporarily considered as part of oil and gas assets until it is determined that the reserves are proved and are commercially viable.

If no reserves are found, the exploration asset is tested for impairment. If extractable hydrocarbons are found and, subject to further appraisal activity, that may include drilling of further wells, are likely to be developed commercially; then the costs continue to be carried as Oil and gas asset as long as some sufficient/continued progress is being made in assessing the commerciality of the hydrocarbons. All such carried costs are subject to technical, commercial and management review as well as review for impairment at least once a year to confirm the continued intent to develop or otherwise extract value from the discovery. When this is no longer the case, the costs are written off.

Other exploration costs are charged to expense when incurred.

An exploration and evaluation asset is no longer classified as such when the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting a mineral resource are demonstrable. Exploration and evaluation assets are assessed for impairment, and any impairment loss is recognised, before reclassification.

(b)

Development costs of fixed and intangible assets

Development costs are incurred to obtain access to proven reserves and to provide facilities for extracting, treating, gathering and storing oil and gas. They include the costs of development wells to produce proven reserves as well as costs of production facilities.

Expenditure on the construction, installation or completion of infrastructure facilities such as platforms, pipelines and the drilling of commercially proven development wells is capitalized within construction in progress according to its nature. When development is completed, it is transferred to production assets. No depreciation and/or amortisation are charged during development.

(c)

Oil and gas production assets

Oil and gas production assets comprise exploration and evaluation assets as well as development costs associated with the production of proved reserves.

(d)

Depreciation/amortization

Oil and gas properties/intangible assets are depleted using the unit-of-production method. The unit-of production rates are based on proved developed reserves, which are oil, gas and other mineral reserves estimated to be recovered from existing facilities using current operating methods. Oil and gas volumes are considered produced once they have been measured through meters at custody transfer or sales transaction points at the outlet valve on the field storage tank.

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

(e)

Impairment - exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration property leasehold acquisition costs are assessed for impairment when there are indications of impairment. For the purpose of impairment testing, exploration property leasehold acquisition costs subject to impairment testing are grouped with existing cash-generating units (CGUs) of related production fields located in the same geographical region.

(f)

Impairment - proved oil and gas properties and intangible assets

Proven oil and gas properties and intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows.

2.11.

Property, plant and equipment

As of the date of establishment, the Group's property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and provision for impairment, where required. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the part that is replaced is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the consolidated income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Land and works of art are not depreciated. Depreciation of other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Description

Useful lives

Buildings

10 - 50

Machinery and Equipment:

- Production equipment

2 - 35

- Furniture

3 - 10

- Vehicles

5 - 25

- Computers

3 - 10

Other PP&E

3 - 20

The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount and are recognised within "Other income/expenses" in the consolidated income statement (notes 35 and 36).

2.12.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the

purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

NIS Group

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

2.13.

Investment property

Investment property is a property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both.

Investment property principally comprises of petrol stations and business facilities rented out for a period exceeding one year.

Investment property is carried at fair value. Changes in fair values are recorded in the consolidated income statement as part of "Other income/expense".

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with it will flow to the Group and the cost can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance costs are expensed when incurred. If an investment property becomes owner-occupied, it is reclassified to property, plant and equipment, and its carrying amount at the date of reclassification becomes its deemed cost to be subsequently depreciated.

2.14.

Financial instruments

(a)

Key measurement terms

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. The best evidence of fair value is the price in an active market. An active market is one in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market is measured as the product of the quoted price for the individual asset or liability and the number of instruments held by the entity.

Valuation techniques such as discounted cash flow models or models based on recent arm's length transactions or consideration of financial data of the investees are used to measure fair value of certain financial instruments for which external market pricing information is not available.

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial instrument. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had not taken place.

Amortized cost ("AC") is the amount at which the financial instrument was recognised at initial recognition less any principal repayments, plus accrued interest, and for financial assets less any allowance for expected credit losses ("ECL").

(b)

Classification and measurement

From 1 January 2018, the Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:

  • - those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through OCI or through profit or loss), and

  • - those to be measured at amortised cost.

The classification depends on the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

Financial instruments are reclassified only when the business model for managing the portfolio as a whole changes. The reclassification has a prospective effect and takes place from the beginning of the first reporting period that follows after the change in the business model. The entity did not change its business model during the current and comparative period and did not make any reclassifications.

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset as its fair value plus, in case of a financial assets not at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial assets. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVTPL are expensed in profit and loss. After the initial recognition, an ECL allowance is recognized for financial assets measured at amortized cost and investments in debt instruments measured at FVOCI, resulting in an immediate accounting loss.

Debt instruments

Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the Group's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset.

The business model reflects how the Group manages the assets in order to generate cash flows - whether the Group's objective is: (i) solely to collect the contractual cash flows from the assets ("hold to collect contractual cash flows",) or (ii) to collect both the contractual cash flows and the cash flows arising from the sale of assets ("hold to collect contractual cash flows and sell") or, if neither of (i) and (ii) is applicable, the financial assets are classified as part of "other" business model and measured at FVTPL.

Factors considered by the Group in determining the business model include the purpose and composition of portfolio, past experience on how the cash flows for the respective assets were collected, how risks are assessed and managed and how the assets' performance is assessed.

Where the business model is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows or to hold contractual cash flows and sell, the Group assesses whether the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest ("SPPI"). In making this assessment, the Group considers whether the contractual cash flows are

consistent with a basic lending arrangement, i.e. interest includes only consideration for credit risk, time value of money, other basic lending risks and profit margin. The SPPI assessment is performed on initial recognition of an asset and it is not subsequently reassessed.

There are three measurement categories into which the Group classifies its debt instruments:

  • Amortised cost: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost.

    Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognised directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/(losses) together with foreign exchange gains and losses.

    Impairment losses are presented separately.

  • FVOCI: Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the assets' cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest

    (''SPPI''), are measured at FVOCI. Movements in the carrying amount are taken through OCI,

    except for the recognition of impairment gains or losses, interest income and foreign exchange gains and losses which are recognised in profit or loss. When the financial asset is derecognised, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in OCI is reclassified from equity to profit or loss and recognised in other gains/(losses). Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest rate method. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in other gains/(losses) and impairment expenses are presented separately.

  • FVPL: Assets that do not meet the criteria for amortised cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at FVPL is recognised in profit or loss and presented net within other gains/(losses) in the period in which it arises.

Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at amortized cost because: (i) they are held for collection of contractual cash flows and those cash flows represent SPPI, and (ii) they are not designated at FVTPL.

Features mandated solely by legislation do not have an impact on the SPPI test, unless they are included in contractual terms such that the feature would apply even if the legislation is subsequently changed.

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

Trade and other receivables. Trade and other receivables are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for products and merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.

Borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred and are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Trade and other payables. Trade payables are accrued when the counterparty performs its obligations under the contract and are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.

Equity instruments

The Group subsequently measures all equity investments at fair value. Where the Group's management has elected to present fair value gains and losses on equity investments in OCI, there is no subsequent reclassification of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends from such investments continue to be recognised in profit or loss as other income when the Group's right to receive payments is established.

(c)

Write-off

Financial assets are written-off, in whole or in part, when the Group has exhausted all practical recovery efforts and has concluded that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. The write-off represents a derecognition event. The Group may write-off financial assets that are still subject to enforcement activity when the Group seeks to recover amounts that are contractually due, however, there is no reasonable expectation of recovery.

(d)

Recognition and derecognition

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when they are extinguished (i.e. when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expires).

An exchange between the Group and its original lenders of debt instruments with substantially different terms, as well as substantial modifications of the terms and conditions of existing financial liabilities, are accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. The terms are substantially different if the discounted present value of the cash flows under the new terms, including any fees paid net of any fees received and discounted using the original effective interest rate, is at least 10% different from the discounted present value of the remaining cash flows of the original financial liability. If an exchange of debt instruments or modification of terms is accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred are recognised as part of the gain or loss on the extinguishment. If the exchange or modification is not accounted for as an extinguishment, any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the liability and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified liability.

Modifications of liabilities that do not result in extinguishment are accounted for as a change in estimate using a cumulative catch up method, with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss, unless the economic substance of the difference in carrying values is attributed to a capital transaction with owners.

(e)

Modification

The Group sometimes renegotiates or otherwise modifies the contractual terms of the financial assets. The Group assesses whether the modification of contractual cash flows is substantial considering, among other, the following factors: significant change in interest rate or credit enhancement that significantly affects the credit risk associated with the asset or a significant extension of a loan when the borrower is not in financial difficulties.

If the modified terms are substantially different, the rights to cash flows from the original asset expire and the Group derecognises the original financial asset and recognises a new asset at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the original asset derecognised and fair value of the new substantially modified asset is recognised in profit or loss, unless the substance of the difference is attributed to a capital transaction with owners.

(f)

Financial assets impairment

The Group assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the ECL for debt instruments measured at AC and FVOCI and recognises Net impairment losses at each reporting date. The measurement of ECL reflects: (i) an unbiased and probability weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes, (ii) time value of money and (iii) all reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost and effort at the end of each reporting period about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future conditions.

Debt instruments measured at AC are presented in the consolidated balance sheet net of the allowance for ECL. For debt instruments at FVOCI, changes in amortised cost, net of allowance for ECL, are recognised in profit or loss and other changes in carrying value are recognised in OCI as gains less losses on debt instruments at FVOCI.

-General model of impairment of financial assets - three stage modelThe Group applies a three stage model for impairment, based on changes in credit quality since initial recognition. A financial instrument that is not credit-impaired on initial recognition is classified in Stage 1. Financial assets in Stage 1 have their ECL measured at an amount equal to the portion of lifetime ECL that results from default events possible within the next 12 months or until contractual maturity, if shorter

("12 Months ECL"). If the Group identifies a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, the asset is transferred to Stage 2 and its ECL is measured based on ECL on a lifetime basis, that is, up until contractual maturity but considering expected prepayments, if any ("Lifetime ECL").

If the Group determines that a financial asset is credit-impaired, the asset is transferred to Stage 3 and its ECL is measured as a Lifetime ECL.

When defining default for the purposes of determining the risk of a default occurring, Group applies a default definition that is consistent with the definition used for internal credit risk management purposes for the relevant financial instrument and consider qualitative indicators (for example, financial covenants) when appropriate.

For the purposes of measuring expected credit losses, the estimate of expected cash shortfalls reflects the cash flows expected from collateral and other credit enhancements that are part of the contractual terms and are not recognised separately.

Group recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss.

- Simplified approach for impairment of receivables and lease receivables

Group applies simplified approach for trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables and measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses ("Lifetime ECL").

Group uses a provision matrix in the calculation of the expected credit losses on trade receivables. Group use historical credit loss experience (adjusted as appropriate on the basis of current observable data to reflect the effects of the current conditions and its forecasts of future conditions) for trade receivables to estimate the 12-month expected credit losses or the lifetime expected credit losses on the financial assets as relevant.

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account, and the amount of the loss is recognised in the consolidated income statement.

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

Impairment losses are reversed through profit or loss if the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be attributed to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized.

2.15.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises cost of raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses. The impairment test of inventories i.e. spare parts due to damage or obsolescence is performed quarterly. Impairment losses are recognized as "Other expense" (note 36).

2.16.

Off-balance sheet assets and liabilities

Off-balance sheet assets/liabilities include: material received from third parties for further processing and other assets not owned by the Group, as well as receivables/payables related to collaterals such as guarantees and other warrants.

2.17.

Share capital

The Company is registered as open joint stock company. Ordinary shares are classified as share capital.

2.18.

Earnings per share

The Group calculates and discloses the basic earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income that belongs to shareholders, the owners of ordinary shares of the Company, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares issued during the period.

2.19.

Provisions

Provisions for environmental restoration, asset retirement obligation and legal claims are recognised when: the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as cost of provision and charged to consolidated income statement.

2.20.

Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity, in which case deferred tax liability is also recognized in equity.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in Serbia, where the Group operates and generates taxable profit. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.

Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.

2.21.

Employee benefits

(a)

Pension obligations

The Group operates a defined contribution pension plan. The Group pays contributions to publicly administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

(b)

Employee benefits provided by the Collective Agreement

The Group provides jubilee, retirement and other employee benefit schemes in accordance with the Collective Agreement. The entitlement to these benefits is usually conditional on the employee remaining in service up to retirement age or the completion of a minimum service period. The expected costs of these benefits are accrued over the period of employment. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in consolidated statement of other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise. These obligations are valued annually by independent qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of Serbian Treasury bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

(c)

Bonus plans

The Group recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses and profit-sharing based on an Individual performance assessment. The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

In 2017, the Group has made decision to introduce new three-year (2018-2020) program for Group's managers which will be based on the Key Performance Indicators ("KPI") reached during the program

(note 21).

2.22.

Revenue recognition from contracts with customers

The Group recognizes revenue from sales of crude oil, petroleum products, gas and other products and services when it satisfies a performance obligation and control over goods and services is passed. For the most contracts control over goods or services passes to a customer at point of time and consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

Revenue is recognised in the amount of transaction price. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring control over promised goods or services to a customer, excluding the amounts collected on behalf of third parties.

Revenue is shown net of returns, rebates and discounts after eliminating sales within the Group.

Sales taxes

Revenue does not amounts collected on behalf of tax authorities - value added taxes (VAT), excise duties and other sales taxes (fee for improvement of energy efficiency).

The accounting for excise duties is based on the Group's assessment whether it is primarily obligated for payment of excise duties or whether it collects the amount from the customer on behalf of the tax authorities. This determination is made based on the analysis of the local regulatory requirements for each country in which the Group operates. Due to complexity and variety in tax legislations, significant judmenent is applied in the assessment whether excise duties would be accounted on gross or net basis.

Excise duties imposed during the inventory procurement process are included in the transaction price, revenue is determined on a gross basis and paid excise duties are also included in the cost of goods sold.

Excise duties incurred in production and sale of products are assessed as part of amounts collected on behalf of tax authorites and are accounted on a net basis.

(a) Sales - wholesale

The Group manufactures and sells oil, petrochemical products, liquefied natural gas and energy in the wholesale market. Sales of goods are recognised when control of the good has transferred, being when the goods are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the goods, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the goods. Delivery occurs when the goods have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the goods in accordance with the contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

Revenue from the sales with discounts is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A refund liability is recognised for expected volume discounts entitled to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period.

No element of financing is deemed present as the sales are made with a credit term of less than one year and is consistent with market practice.

A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

(b) Sales - retail

The Group operates a chain of Petrol Stations. Sales of goods are recognised when the Group sells a product to the customer. Retail sales are usually in cash or by credit card. Group offers customer incentives mostly in the form of loyalty programs described under section d).

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

(c) Sales of electricity

The Group sells electricity on a short and long term basis with a contract terms generally accepted in the energy industry (via bilateral forward standardized general EFET agreements). Majority of sales are made on a wholesale market without structured trades.

In accordance with contract terms if Group expects to physically deliver factual agreed quantity of electricity revenue is recognized at gross basis in consolidated financial statements. In general, delivery of electricity represent transfer of a series of distinct goods that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the customer over time. Accordingly, delivery of electricity is treated as a single performance obligation to which transaction price is allocated. Revenue is recognized by applying a single measure of progress to the identified single performance obligation.

(d) Customer loyalty program

The Group operates a loyalty program where customers accumulate award points for purchases made which entitle them to discount on future purchases. Revenue from the award points is recognised when the points are redeemed or when they expire after the initial transaction. The transaction price is allocated to the goods sold and the award points on the basis of their relative stand-alone selling prices. A contract liability for the award points is recognized at the time of the sale. Contract liabilities arising from customer loyalty program are presented in the note 27.

(e) Interest income

Interest income is recorded for all debt instruments, other than those at FVTPL, on an accrual basis using the effective interest method. This method defers, as part of interest income, all fee received between the parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, all other premiums or discounts.

Interest income on debt instruments at FVTPL calculated at nominal interest rate is presented within 'finance income' line in profit or loss.

Fees integral to the effective interest rate include origination fees received or paid by the Group relating to the creation or acquisition of a financial asset, for example fees for evaluating creditworthiness, evaluating and recording guarantees or collateral, negotiating the terms of the instrument and for processing transaction documents.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of financial assets, except for (i) financial assets that have become credit impaired (Stage 3), for which interest revenue is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to their AC, net of the ECL provision, and (ii) financial assets that are purchased or originated credit impaired, for which the original credit-adjusted effective interest rate is applied to the amortized cost.

2.23.

Leases

The Group leases various offices, warehouses, retail stores, equipment and cars. Rental contracts are typically made for fixed periods but may have extension options. Lease terms are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide range of different terms and conditions.

Until the 2018 financial year, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance or operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) were charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

From 1 January 2019, leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying assets' useful lives. Depreciation on the items of the right-of-use assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows:

Useful lives in years

Land

25

Buildings

Machinery

Motor vehicles

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:

  • fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable

  • variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate

  • amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees

  • the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and

  • payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.

The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:

  • the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability

  • any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received

  • any initial direct costs, and

  • restoration costs.

Payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture.

2.24.

Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Group's shareholders is recognised as a liability in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Group's shareholders.

2.25.

Capitalisation of borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of assets that necessarily take a substantial time to get ready for intended use or sale (qualifying assets) are capitalised as part of the costs of those assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

3.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND JUDGEMENTS

Preparing consolidated financial statements required Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Management reviews these estimates and assumptions on a continuous basis, by reference to past experience and other facts that can reasonably be used to assess the book values of assets and liabilities. Adjustments to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the change affects only that period or in the period of the revision and subsequent periods, if both periods are affected.

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

In addition to judgments involving estimations, Management also makes other judgments in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Actual results may differ from such estimates if different assumptions or circumstances apply.

Information on the effect of macroeconomic factors on the estimates with the greatest impact on the amounts reflected in these Consolidated Financial Statements is provided below.

3.1.

Going concern and Implications of COVID-19

The spread of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and the preventive measures which led to decrease in the economic activity of market participants in the 2020, as well as significant volatility in the commodity markets since March 2020, have negatively affected the group's results in the reporting period. These developments result in Loss for the period of RSD 7,566,003 thousand and decline in EBITDA disclosed in note 7. On the other hand, local currency RSD maintained a relatively stable against the US dollar and EURO (note 6).

Given the recent volatility in global oil and commodity prices and potential impact on demand as a result of the COVID-19 virus management has considered the impact of the COVID-19 virus on the Group's future sales and specifically the Group's cash flow.The virus may result in a sustained low oil price which may impact the price of petroleum products and as well in short term decline in demand from customers which negatively impacts future cash inflows.

Management has performed the following assessment and concluded that there is no material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the entity's ability to continue as a going concern:

  • - Assessment of going concern is based on cash flow projections and approved business plans. Contractual cash flows is analysed under note 6 - section related to liquidity risk;

  • - Compliance with debt covenants (note 6 - liquidity risk section);

  • - Management assess ability to secure financing. Despite the situation with the COVID 19 pandemic, during 2020 additional optimization of the loan portfolio indicator was performed in terms of reducing the financing price by about 8% compared to the end of 2019, while maintaining the average maturity to 3.02 years, at the end of 2020. A significant part of loan portfolio was restructured (early repayment of existing loans with withdrawal of new ones on more favourable terms and correction of conditions of existing loans, in terms of lowering the interest rate and / or extending the maturity, as well as regular repayments);

  • - Management performed sensitivity analysis over their cash flow forecast to factor in the impact of a decline in both oil prices and production as a result of the effects of the COVID-19 virus on the global economy;

  • - During 2020, management perform successfully optimisation of operational expenses and prioritization of the investments.

3.2.

Estimation of Oil and Gas Reserves

Engineering estimates of oil and gas reserves are inherently uncertain and are subject to future revisions.

The Group estimates its oil and gas reserves in accordance with rules promulgated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for proved and probable reserves. Accounting measures such as depreciation, depletion and amortization charges and impairment assessments that are based on the estimates of proved reserves are subject to change based on future changes to estimates of oil and gas reserves.

Proved reserves are defined as the estimated quantities of oil and gas which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic conditions. In some cases, substantial new investment in additional wells and related support facilities and equipment will be required to recover such proved reserves. Due to the inherent uncertainties and the limited nature of reservoir data, estimates of underground reserves are subject to change over time as additional information becomes available.

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

Oil and gas reserves have a direct impact on certain amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements, most notably depreciation, depletion and amortization as well as impairment expenses.

Depreciation rates on oil and gas assets using the units-of-production method for each field are based on proved developed reserves for development costs, and total proved reserves for costs associated with the acquisition of proved properties. Moreover, estimated proved reserves are used to calculate future cash flows from oil and gas properties, which serve as an indicator in determining whether or not property impairment is present.

Detailed disclosure about Oil and gas reserves was not given as these data prescribed by the law of the Republic of Serbia are classified as a state secret.

3.3.

Useful Lives of Property, Plant and Equipment

Management assesses the useful life of an asset by considering the expected usage, estimated technical obsolescence, residual value, physical wear and tear and the operating environment in which the asset is located. Differences between such estimates and actual results may have a material impact on the amount of the carrying values of the property, plant and equipment and may result in adjustments to future depreciation rates and expenses for the year.

Were the estimated useful lives to differ by 10% from management's estimates, the impact on depreciation for the year ended 31 December 2020 would be to increase/decrease it by RSD 2,041,522 thousand (2019: RSD 1,900,267 thousand).

3.4.

Impairment of goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less cost to sell. 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 assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU. The estimated future cash flows include estimation of future costs to produce reserves, future commodity prices, foreign exchange rate, discount rate etc. (note 8)

3.5.

Employee benefits

The present value of the employee benefit obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The assumptions used in determining the net cost (income) for employee benefits include the discount rate. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of obligations.

The Group determines the appropriate discount rate at the end of each year. This is the interest rate that should be used to calculate the present value of estimated future cash outflows which are expected to be required to settle the employee benefits obligations. In determining the appropriate discount rate, the

Group takes into consideration the interest rates of Serbian Treasury bonds which are denominated in the currency in which pension liabilities will be settled and whose maturity dates approximate the maturity date of the related pension liability.

If the discount rate used to calculate the present value of employee benefit obligations had been 5.30%

(rather than 4.30%) per year, the past service liability (DBO) for the whole NIS Group would decrease by about 9.25% for retirement indemnity and 5.71% for jubilee benefit. If pay increased by 1.0% higher than assumed on an annual basic, than the past service liability (DBO) for the whole NIS Group would increase by amount 5.73% for the retirement indemnity.

3.6.

Decommissioning and environmental protection provision

Management makes provision for the future costs of decommissioning oil and gas production facilities, wells, pipelines, and related support equipment and for site restoration based on the best estimates of future costs and economic lives of the oil and gas assets. Estimating future asset retirement obligations is complex and requires management to make estimates and judgments with respect to removal obligations that will occur many years in the future.

Changes in the measurement of existing obligations can result from changes in estimated timing, future costs or discount rates used in valuation.

The amount recognised as a provision (note 21) is the best estimate of the expenditures required to settle the present obligation at the reporting date based on current legislation in each jurisdiction where the Group's operating assets are located, and is also subject to change because of revisions and changes in laws and regulations and their interpretation. As a result of the subjectivity of these provisions there is uncertainty regarding both the amount and estimated timing of such costs.

If the discount rate used to calculate the present value of decommissioning obligations had been 5.30% (rather than 4.30%) per year, the present liability would have decreased by approx. RSD 721,372 thousand (31 December 2019: 5.40% (rather than 4.40%) per year the present liability would have decreased by approx. RSD 419,182 thousand).

3.7.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date of these consolidated financial statements are issued that may result in a loss to the Group, but one that will only be realised when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. Management makes an assessment of such contingent liabilities that is based on assumptions and is a matter of judgement. In assessing loss contingencies relating to legal or tax proceedings that involve the Group or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Group, after consultation with legal and tax advisors, evaluates the perceived merits of any legal or tax proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a loss will be incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability is accrued in the Group's consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. If loss contingencies cannot be reasonably estimated, management recognises the loss when information becomes available that allows a reasonable estimation to be made. Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the nature of the guarantee is disclosed. However, in some instances in which disclosure is not otherwise required, the Group may disclose contingent liabilities of an unusual nature which, in the judgment of Management and its legal counsel, may be of interest to shareholders or others (note 38).

3.8.

Recoverability of carrying amount of Property, Plant and Equipment

In the line with changes in the crude oil price on the world market, management of the Group performed stress sensitivity analysis of its impact on recoverability of the Group PPE and overall business performance. Based on the currently available information and crude oil price forecast obtained from a reputable firm management believe that at reporting date recoverable amount of Group's PPE exceed its

carrying value.

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

The management reviewed external and internal sources of information for assessing potential impairment indicators such as changes in the Group's business plans, changes in oil and commodity prices leading to sustained unprofitable performance, low plant utilisation, evidence of physical damage, changes in market interest rates, worseining performance of particular assets or, for oil and gas assets, significant downward revisions of estimated reserves or increases in estimated future development expenditure or decommissioning costs. The Group realized EBITDA in the amount of RSD 15,8 bln in the current year (FY 2019: RSD 44,5 bln) and net loss in the amount of RSD 7,5 bln. Net loss in the current year was impacted by the covid-19 implications which primarily affected the first half of 2020 when net loss was reported in the amount of RSD 10,2 bln while the recovery of business performance was restored in the second half of 2020 when the Group reported net profit in the amount of RSD 2,7 bln. The business plan of the Group for the FY 2021 predicts profitable operatons and restoring EBITDA to the historical level with further stabilization in the period FY 2022-23. The price of oil significantly restored by year end (31 December 2020) and subsequent to that date, currently exceeding all medium forecast projections for the period 2020-2025. In addition, the Group completed major contruction project during the last quarter of FY 2020 which will significantly increase the utilization of oil refineries and increase the efficiency of operations in the future periods. Details on this, recognized impairment losses and the result of assessment of impairment indicators are presented in the Note 8.

The Group assessed crude oil price volatility as main impairment indicator. If the actual crude oil price would decrease for 10$/barrel below the forecasted crude oil prices, sensitivity analysis shows that the recoverable amount is still above the carrying value of Group's PPE by RSD 57.2 bln (31 December 2019:

RSD 46.5 bln).

Oil prices are based on the available forecasts from globally recognized research institutions such as Wood Mackenzie, Platts/PIRA, Energy Group and others.

Management will continue to monitor the crude oil price fluctuation and its influence on business performance in order to adequately take measure to mitigate impact.

6. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

6.1. Financial risk factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and cash flow interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk. The primary function of financial risk management is to establish risk limits and to ensure that any exposure to risk stays within these limits. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

Risk management is carried out by the finance and finance control department within the Company's Function for Economics, Finance, Planning and Accounting (further "FEPA") which under the policies

approved by the Group identifies and evaluates financial risks in close co-operation with the Group's operating units.

In the normal course of its operations the Group has exposure to the following financial risks:

  • a) market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and commodity price risk);

  • b) credit risk and

  • c) liquidity risk.

Market risk

The Group takes on exposure to market risks. Market risks arise from open positions in (a) currency, (b) interest rates (c) commodity price, all of which are exposed to general and specific market movements.

Management analyse and monitoring risk that may be accepted, however, the use of this approach does not prevent losses in the event of more significant market movements.

Currency risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to USD and EUR. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

Management has set up a policy to manage its foreign exchange risk against its functional currency. In order to manage its foreign exchange risk arising from future transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, responsible persons in the finance department within the FEPA negotiate the best possible exchange rates for the purchase of foreign currency to be contracted on a daily basis based on the exchange rate applicable on the day the purchase is made. Foreign exchange risks arise when future commercial transactions or recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the Group functional currency.

The Group has borrowings denominated in foreign currency mainly in EUR which predominantly expose Group to the foreign currency translation risk.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group has chosen to provide information about market and potential exposure to hypothetical gain / (loss) from its use of financial instruments through sensitivity analysis disclosures.

The sensitivity analysis below reflects the hypothetical effect on the Group's financial statements and the resulting hypothetical gains/losses that would occur assuming change in closing exchange rates and no changes in the portfolio of investments and other variables at the reporting dates.

As at 31 December 2020, if the currency had strengthened/weaken by 5% against the EUR with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit and equity for the year would have been RSD 4,353,703 thousand (2019: RSD 4,503,875 thousand) higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of EUR - denominated borrowings and account payables.

As at 31 December 2020, if the currency had strengthened/weaken by 10% against the USD with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit and equity for the year would have been RSD 314,249 thousand (2019: RSD 1,421,264 thousand) higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreign exchange gains/losses on translation of USD - denominated accounting payables.

Interest rate risk

Borrowings withdrawn at variable interest rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk, whilst borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. Depending on the levels of net debt at any given period of time, any change in the base interest rates (Euribor or Libor) has a proportionate impact on the Group's results. If interest rates on foreign currency denominated borrowings, with floating interest rate, had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit and equity for 2020 would have been RSD 667,008 thousand (2019: RSD 718,111 thousand) lower/higher, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

Commodity price risk

The Group's financial performance relates directly to prices for crude oil and petroleum products. The Group is unable to fully control the prices of its products, which depend on the balance of supply and demand on global and domestic markets for crude oil and petroleum products, and on the actions of supervisory agencies.

The Group's planning system calculates different scenarious for key performance facors depending on global oil prices. This approach enables Management to adjust cost by reducing or rescheduling investment programs and other mechanisms. Such activities help to decrease risk to an acceptable level.

Credit risk

The Group exposes itself to credit risk, which is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to meet an obligation.

Exposure to credit risk arises as a result of the Group's lending and other transactions with counterparties, giving rise to financial assets and off-balance sheet credit-related commitments.

Group's maximum exposure to credit risk by class of assets is reflected in the carrying amounts of financial assets in the balance sheet is as follows:

Credit risk management. Credit risk is the single largest risk for the Group's business; management therefore carefully manages its exposure to credit risk. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale and retail customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions.

Limits. The Group structures the levels of credit risk it undertakes by placing limits on the amount of risk accepted in relation to one borrower. Credit limit is established for each customer individually as maximum amount of credit risk taking into account a number of characteristics, such as:

  • - financial statements of the counterparty;

  • - scoring Serbian Business Register Agency, NIS and/or D&B reports;

  • - amount of registered pledges;

  • - data on customer's account blockade;

  • - history of relationships with the Group;

  • - planned sales volume;

  • - duration of relationship with the Group, including ageing profile, maturity and existence of any financial difficulties.

Trade, Specific and Other receivables

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer.

The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which use a lifetime expected loss allowance.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade, specific and other receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due.

The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over a period of 60 months before 31 December 2020 and 48 months before 1 January 2020 and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within this period. The historical loss rates were not adjusted with forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors as no correlation were identified that significantly affect ability of the customers to settle the receivables.

The credit loss allowance for trade, sprecific and other receivables is determined according to provision matrix presented in the table below.

At 31 December 2020 the provision matrix is based on the number of days that an asset is past due:

As a rule, an excess of receivables over approved credit limit is secured by either bank guarantee, advance payment or other security.

The Management of the Group regularly assesses the credit quality of trade, specific and other receivables taking into account analysis of ageing profile of receivables and duration of relationships with the Group.

Management believes that not impaired trade, specific and other receivables and other current assets are fully recoverable.

Expenses that have been provided for or written off are included in fair value measurement loss within the income statement. Amounts charged to the allowance account are generally written off where there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.

The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of receivables mentioned. The other classes within trade, sprecific and other receivables do not contain impaired assets.

Liquidity risk

Cash flow forecasting is performed as aggregated at the Group's level. The Company's finance function monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure It has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group's debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and, if applicable external regulatory or legal requirements - for example, currency restrictions.

Surplus cash held by the Group over and above balance required for working capital management are invested as surplus cash in time deposits.

The table below analyses the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date.

The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, revise its investment program, attract new or repay existing loans or sell certain non-core assets.

On the Group level capital is monitored on the basis of the net debt to EBITDA ratio. Net debt to EBITDA is calculated as net debt divided by EBITDA. Net debt is calculated as total debt, which includes long and short term loans, less cash and cash equivalents and short term deposits. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortisation, other finance income (expenses) net, other non-operating income (expenses).

The Group's net debt to EBITDA ratios at the end of the reporting periods were as follows:

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

The fair value of financial instruments traded in an active market (such as available for sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the reporting date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are used for long-term debt. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for the remaining financial instruments.

The carrying amount of trade and other receivables, other current assets and trade and other payable due to their short-term nature is considered to be the same as their fair value. For the majority of the non-current receivables and non-current payables the fair values are also not significantly different to their carrying amounts.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Presented below is information about the Group's operating segments for the years ended 31 December 2020 and 2019. Operating segments are components that engaged in business activities that may earn revenues or incur expenses, whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM), and for which discrete financial information is available.

The Group manages its operations in 2 operating segments: Upstream and Downstream.

Upstream segment (exploration and production) includes the following Group operations: exploration, development and production of crude oil and natural gas and oil field services. Downstream segment (refining and marketing) processes crude oil into refined products and purchases, sells and transports crude and refined petroleum products (refining and marketing). Corporate centre and Energy business activities expenses are presented within the Downstream segment.

Eliminations and other adjustments section encompasses elimination of inter-segment sales and related unrealized profits, mainly from the sale of crude oil and products, and other adjustments. Intersegment revenues are based upon estimated market prices.

EBITDA represents the Group's EBITDA. Management believes that EBITDA represents useful means of assessing the performance of the Group's on-going operating activities, as it reflects the Group's earnings trends without showing the impact of certain charges. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, income tax expense, depreciation, depletion and amortization, finance income (expenses) net and other non-operating income (expenses). EBITDA is a supplemental non-IFRS financial measure used by management to evaluate operations.

Net sales revenue

183,833,859

272,096,500

In the Republic of Serbia excise duties become payable when products subject of excise duties exit from excise warehouse. This incurs when the goods are loaded for transport either for direct sales to customers (wholesale) or for transport to own retail network. Calculated excise duties are payable in 15 days. The Group assessed that for excise duties levied in wholesale it bears no inventory risk nor significant credit risk. In retail sales, the Group estimates that average turnover of inventories approximates payment period for excise duties, and that there are no significant inventory or credit risk. Accordingly, since the Group bears no significant risks in both cases, excise duties are collected on behalf of tax authority and consequently deducted from revenue.

Non-current assets, other than financial instruments, deferred income tax assets, investments in joint venture and other non-current assets (there are no employment benefit assets and rights arising under insurance contracts), by country:

Impairment test for goodwill

Goodwill is monitored by the management on an individual CGU basis or groups of CGUs. Groups of CGUs relate to the whole retail network of one subsidiary in Bosnia and Herzegovina where goodwill is allocated on this basis.. The recoverable amount of each CGUs has been determined by independent appraisal based on higher of value-in-use and fair value less cost to disposed calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period.

Addition Impairment differences

Except recognised impairment loss in Bulgaria in the amount of RSD 26,506 thousand (2019: RSD 180,004 thousand), impairment test in Bosnia and Romania shows that the recoverable amount calculated based on value in use / fair value exceeds carrying value.

If the revised estimated growth rate would be 0.5% instead of 1% and if applied discounted rate would be 1pp higher than the figures used in recoverable amounts calculation, the recoverable amount of tested assets where impairment initially has not been determined, still exceeds its carrying amount. If growth rate would be 0% in a combination with the applied discount rate as stated in the table above, recoverable amount also exceeds respective carrying amounts. With respect to the discount rate, impairment test is most sensitive for the Bosnia and Hercegovina market, where value in use exceeds carrying amounts of related assets at discount rate higher than 9.04%.

The management considers the average fuel gross margin as a part of the overall average gross margin to be the key assumption which affects the sensitivity of value in use calculation. The following table shows sensitivity of this calculation against the change in this assumption by showing how much the average fuel gross margin should decrease in order for value in use to be equal to the carrying amount of tested assets:

NIS Group

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

In 2020, the Group capitalised borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction and production of qualifying asset, as part of its cost, amounting to RSD 120,146 thousand (2019: RSD 168,790 thousand).

Of the total amount of activations in 2020 in the amount of RSD 60,468,951 thousand, the most significant part refers to the completion and commissioning of the Bottom of the Barrel Project at the Pancevo Refinery in the amount of RSD 38,844,486 thousand. The Bottom of the Barrel Project ensure optimal utilization of the capacities of the Pancevo Oil Refinery and an increase in the depth of refining to 99.2 per cent (up from 86 per cent in 2017). This implies increased output of high-quality fuels - diesel, gasoline and liquid petroleum gas, as well as the start of production of petroleum coke. This will give Group a competitive edge in the market and trigger its further growth.

The management of the Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that the recoverable amount of property, plant and equipment fell below its book value.

As at 31 December 2020, the Group assessed impairment indicators. In addition the Group considered value-in-use of cash generating units ("CGU") grouped on the segment level (upstream and downstream). Based on cash flow projections for the period of 20 years (2021-2040) the Group determined that recoverable amount of CGUs belonging to the Upstream and Downstream segment is higher than its carrying amount as at 31 December 2020. Cash flow projections were based on real terms, nominal WACC of 7.97% used as discount rate is reduced to 5.70%. Accordingly based on this and based on other factors considered in the note 3.8, the Group concluded that impaiarment indicators do not exist as at reporting date which would require detail impairment testing of the PPE. In addition, Group has assessed and recognized impairment losses in amount RSD 704,637 thousand (2019: RSD 252,102 thousand) for the individual asset which has disposed due to obsolete, physically damage or for assets under constructions for which exist indication that expected recoverable amounts would not recover carrying value of the assets. The most significant amount refers to the partial impairment of the temporary suspended Base Oil Project in Refinery Novi Sad in amount of RSD 683,196 of which RSD 58,941 thousands relates to impairment of intangible assets (as at 31 December 2020 outstanding amount is RSD 731,532 thousand). Decisions on the project's perspective are expected during 2021.

b) Investment property - carried at fair value

Investment properties are valued at the reporting date at fair value representing the investment property market value.

Movements on the account were as follows:

As at 31 December 2020, investment properties amounting to RSD 1,574,329 thousand (31 December 2019: RSD 1,579,798 thousand) mainly relate to the petrol stations and business facilities that have been rented out under long-term lease agreements, and are valued at fair value as at the reporting date.

Fair value of investment properties

Valuation of the Group's investment properties comprised of rented petrol stations and other business facilities was performed to determine the fair value as at 31 December 2020 and 2019. The revaluation gain was credited to other income (note 35).

The following table analyses the non-financial assets carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).

  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).

(All amounts are in RSD 000 unless otherwise stated)

  • Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

Fair value measurements at 31 December 2019 using:

Level 2 fair values of shops, apartments and other properties for rent have been derived using the sales comparison approach. Sales prices of comparable properties in close proximity are adjusted for differences in key attributes such as property size. The most significant input into this valuation approach is price per square meter.

Fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)

Level 3 fair values of gas stations have been derived using value-in-use approach where fair value of gas station is determined as the present value of future net benefits which will belong to the Group based on long-term rental contracts. The most significant input into this valuation approach is rental price per gas station.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Economic environment in the Republic of Serbia

The Group operates primarily in the Republic of Serbia and is therefore exposed to risks related to the state of the economy and financial markets of the Republic of Serbia. Before the pandemic crisis, the country's credit rating was at BB+ level with stabile national currency rate. The development of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) in 2020 and the measures taken in this regard to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection lead to negative economic consequences. The Government of the Republic of Serbia has prepared a set of measures to mitigate these negative impacts through delays in payment of tax liabilities, grants and credit arrangements. The situation in the financial markets is currently stable. This operating environment has a significant impact on the Group's operations and financial position.

The management is taking necessary measures to ensure sustainability of the Group's operations. However, the future effects of the current economic situation are difficult to predict and the management's current

expectations and estimates could differ from actual results.

Environmental protection

Based on an internal assessment of compliance with the Republic of Serbia environmental legislation as at the reporting date, the Group's management recognised an environmental provision in the amount of RSD

428,813 thousand (31 December 2019: RSD 509,129 thousand).

The Group's Management believes that cash outflows related to provision will not be significantly higher than the ones already provided for. However, it is possible that these costs will increase significantly in the future, should the legislation become more restrictive.

Taxes

Tax laws are subject to different interpretations and frequent amendments. Tax authorities' interpretation of Tax laws may differ to those made by the Group's management. As result, some transactions may be

disputed by tax authorities and the Group may have to pay additional taxes, penalties and interests. Tax liability due date is five years. Tax authorities have rights to determine unpaid liabilities within five years since the transaction date. Management has assessed that the Group has paid all tax liabilities as of 31

December 2020.

Capital commitments

As of 31 December 2020 the Group has entered into contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment for RSD 1,531,697 thousand (31 December 2019: RSD 2,809,071 thousand) and drilling and exploration works estimated to 57.89 USD million (31 December 2019: 56.89 USD million).

There were no other material commitments and contingent liabilities of the Group.
