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

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

The respective tax periods of the Group may be subject to inspection by the tax authorities until the expiration of 5 years from the end of the year in which a declaration was submitted, or should have been submitted. Consequently additional taxes or penalties may be imposed in accordance with the interpretation of the tax legislation. The Group's management is not aware of any circumstances, which may give rise to a contingent additional liability in this respect.

In December 2014 tax audits of Parent company commenced, encompassing social security contributions and personal income tax for the period December 2008 till December 2013 and corporate income tax and value added tax (VAT) for 2013. Subsequently the corporate income tax and VAT audits were prolonged till September 2016 and the scope was increased till 2014 and June 2015, respectively. In March 2016 a tax audit act related to social security contributions for BGN 543 thousand principal and BGN 248 thousand interests was issued. It is fully appealed against by the Parent company. In April 2016 in order to suspend the execution of the appealed tax audit act, a bank guarantee of BGN 800 thousand in favor of National Revenue Agency was issued. In November 2017, the issued revision act is entirely repealed with a decision of Administrative Court - Sofia city. The tax administration appealed the decision and now the contest is pending in (Supreme Administrative Court) SAC.

In January 2017, the Parent company received a tax audit act on corporate tax revision for 2013 and VAT until October 2014 amounting to BGN 222 thousand principal and BGN 68 thousand interest. Bank guarantee of BGN 350 thousand was issued in order to ceased the execution of the appealed audit act in January 2017.

In March 2017, the Parent company received a tax audit act due to the audit of corporate income tax for 2014 and VAT until June 2015 for BGN 663 thousand principal and BGN 138 thousand interest. The Parent company appealed the act. In order to suspend the enforcement of the appealed audit act, ordered by the Parent company, a bank guarantee in favor of National Revenue Agency for BGN 940 thousand was issued. The bank guarantee is partly covered by BGN 300 thousand cash. In August 2017 the Director of "Appealing and tax-security practice" department issued a decision, which change the appealed revision act of the Parent company on corporate income tax for 2014 and VAT until June 2015 and reduce the additional tax liabilities from BGN 663 thousand to BGN 65 thousand principal and from BGN 138 thousand to BGN 15 thousand interest. The rest of the additionally determined tax liabilities in the revision act are in process of legal appealing. The issued bank guarantee to suspend the enforcement of the appealed audit act in favor of the National Revenue Agency of BGN 940 thousand, partly covered by BGN 300 thousand blocked cash, was replaced with new bank guarantee of BGN 94 thousand and blocked cash was released.

In January 2018, pursuant to an annex contracted between the parties, the credit limit on the first loan was increased from BGN 4,000 thousand to BGN 5,000 thousand. As at June 30, 2018 the granted amounts are BGN 4,350 thousand and BGN 500 thousand, respectively.

In 2018 the credit limit of the first loan was increased and as at June 30, 2018, the granted amounts under the two loans are BGN 5,314 thousand and BGN 6,150 thousand, respectively.

In February 2018 the Group granted a short-term cash loan to the unrelated party for BGN 1,500 thousand at an annual interest rate of 6.7%. The loan is due on December 31, 2018. As at June 30, 2018 the receivables under this loan are BGN 1,500 thousand principal and BGN 33 thousand interest.

In March 2018 the Group signed a contract for granting short-term loan with an unrelated party for BGN 1,961 thousand at an annual interest rate of 5.5%. The loan is due on December 31, 2018.

The Management of the Group considers that the carrying amounts of the granted loans in the consolidated statement of financial position are reasonable approximations of their fair value as at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 within Level 3 category.

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

In December 2016 the first instance court decreed a decision (the Decision) which admit for established that the bank has a receivable amounted to USD 15,527 thousand from the subsidiaries - joint debtors, arising from a signed loan agreement for USD 15,000 thousand.

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

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