12 6. Material figures based on professional judgment and estimates 6.1. Professional judgement In the application of the accounting principles (policy) to the issues discussed below, the most important aspect, apart from the accounting estimates, was the professional judgment of the management. One of the areas which require judgment on part of the management is the verification of indications for the impairment of investments in related parties. As of each balance sheet date, the Company estimates whether there are objective grounds of impairment of an item of financial assets or a group of financial assets. Lease is another area where, in addition to accounting estimates, the Company uses the management's judgment. The Company classifies lease as operating or finance lease based on the assessment of the extent to which the risks and benefits from holding the subject of lease are attributable to the lessor and to the lessee. This assessment is based on the economic content of each transaction. Another area in which the Company's Management Board relied on professional judgement was the loss of control over Śnieżka Romania. On 19 November 2012 Śnieżka S.A. disposed of all its shares held in Śnieżka Romania SRL. Until the date of approving these financial statements, the sale of shares has not been registered by the competent court. As of 31 December 2012 Śnieżka Romania SRL was no longer a member of the Śnieżka Capital Group Estimation uncertainty The text below discusses the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of uncertainty as of the balance sheet date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying value of assets and liabilities in subsequent financial year. Impairment of assets As of every balance sheet date, the business entity verifies whether there are any circumstances indicating an impairment of any item of assets. Details regarding impairment of assets are presented in Note 21, 23 and Note 24. Measurement of employee benefit provisions Employee benefit provisions have been estimated using actuarial methods. The assumptions adopted for this purpose are presented in Note 25. Deferred tax assets The Company recognises deferred tax assets based on the assumption that tax profit will be generated in the future, allowing for the assets to be used. However, a deterioration of the generated tax results in the future may deem this assumption invalid. Amortisation and depreciation rates Amortisation and depreciation rates are based on the expected economic useful life of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Items of property, plant and equipment or their material and separate parts are depreciated with the straight-line method over their useful life. Depreciation and amortisation allowances are made as long as the residual value of an asset does not exceed its carrying value. Every year the Company verifies the adopted economic useful lives based on current estimates. Revaluation allowances for receivables As at the balance sheet date, the Company verifies whether there is objective proof of impairment of receivables. If the recoverable value of an asset is lower than its carrying value, the Company makes a revaluation allowance to the present value of the planned cash flows. 7. Basis for preparation of the financial statements These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost principle. 11

13 These financial statements are presented in PLN and all figures, unless indicated otherwise, are provided in thousands of PLN. These financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern assumption. As of the approval of these financial statements, there are no circumstances threatening the Company s going concern status during a period of at least 12 months after the balance sheet date, i.e. after 31 December Declaration of conformity These financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") and the IFRS approved by the EU. In consideration of the IFRS implementation process taking place in the EU and the Company's business, and with regard to the accounting principles applied by the Company, there is no difference between the already effective IFRS and the IFRS approved by the EU for the financial year ended 31 December Functional currency and the currency of the financial statements The functional currency of the Company and the reporting currency of these financial statements is the Polish zloty. 8. Changes in the accounting principles applied The accounting principles (policy) applied to draw up these financial statements are consistent with those to the preparation of the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011, except for the application of new or amended standards and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January Amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Transfer of Financial Assets applying to annual periods beginning on or after 1 July The application of these changes did not influence the financing position or the result on the Company's Activity or the scope of information presented in the Company's financial statements.

In the opinion of the Management Board, these changes will not influence the Company's financial statements. The Company will apply the amendments to IFRS 10, 11 and 12 as of Currently the Company is analysing the influence of the above-mentioned IFRS on the financial statements. 10. Significant accounting principles Translation of items in foreign currencies The Company initially recognises transactions in foreign currencies in the functional currency (PLN) applying the spot exchange rate to translate the amount denominated in a foreign currency. It is the average exchange rate published by the National Bank of Poland for each currency on the last working day preceding the transaction conclusion date. As of the balance sheet date: cash items in a foreign currency are translated applying the closing rate for the relevant currency. The closing rate constitutes the spot exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. (the Company assumes that this is the average exchange rate of the National Bank of Poland of the last working day preceding the balance sheet date). non-cash items measured at the historical cost denominated in a foreign currency are translated at the spot exchange rate of the transaction date. 13

15 Foreign exchange differences arise from settlement of cash items or from translating these items as of the balance sheet date at exchange rates other than those at which they were translated upon initial recognition thereof. They are recognised in the result of the period during which they arise, on the stipulation that positive foreign exchange differences increase financial revenues of the relevant period while negative foreign exchange differences increase financial expenses of the relevant period. Foreign exchange differences resulting from the settlement of non-cash items are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period during which the settlement was made. The following exchange rates were adopted for the purpose of the balance sheet valuation: 28 December December 2011 USD EUR RON UAH BYR Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are fixed assets maintained by the entity for use in the production process or in deliveries of goods and rendering of services, to hand over for use to other entities under tenancy agreements or for administrative purposes. The above-mentioned fixed assets are recognised as an item of assets if it is expected that they will be used for a period longer than one year and if it is probable that the entity will derive future economic benefits with respect to the relevant item of assets. Items of property, plant and equipment are recognised on the basis of the acquisition price or the adopted manufacturing cost thereof, less accumulated depreciation and amortisation allowances as well as impairment losses. In the case where a given item of property, plant and equipment consists of separate and significant components with different usage periods, these parts are treated as separate items of property, plant and equipment. A register of fixed assets is kept in quantity and value terms divided into generic groups. Items of property, plant and equipment or their material and separate parts are depreciated with the straight-line method over their useful life. Depreciation and amortisation allowances are made as long as the residual value of an asset does not exceed its carrying value. Land is not subject to depreciation. Usage periods of fixed assets for individual generic groups: Generic group Name of the generic group Type of group of property, plant and equipment Usage period Group 0 Land Land not specified Group 1 Buildings Buildings years Group 2 Structures Structures years Group 3 Boilers and power machines Machines and equipment 5-10 years Group 4 Machines and equipment Machines and equipment 3-15 years Group 5 Machines, equipment and special sector appliances Machines and equipment 5-10 years Group 6 Technical equipment Machines and equipment 4-30 years Group 7 Means of transport Means of transport 3-8 years Group 8 Tools, instruments, movables and equipment Other fixed assets 5-15 years As of the balance sheet date, the entity estimates whether there are circumstances indicating an impairment of any item of property, plant and equipment. If such circumstances are found, the entity estimates the recoverable value of the relevant asset. If the carrying value of a relevant fixed asset exceeds the recoverable value estimated for it, the carrying value of this fixed asset is subject to an impairment loss to the amount of its recoverable value. The entity verifies usage periods and residual values of property, plant and equipment on an annual basis. 14

16 A given item of property, plant and equipment is removed from the statement of financial position of the entity after it has been disposed of or if no economic benefits are expected from further use of such an asset. Any profits or losses resulting from removing a given PP&E item from the statement of financial position of the entity are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period during which such a write-off was made. Fixed assets under construction comprise fixed assets in the process of construction or assembly and they are recognised at acquisition prices or manufacturing costs, less impairment losses. Write-offs are made mainly due to the probability that a fixed asset under construction will not bring benefits in the future. Commenced investments are not subject to depreciation. Depreciation of a fixed asset begins when the given fixed asset is complete and ready for use Investment real property Investment real property is recognised in assets when it is probable that the entity will derive future economic benefits with respect to that property and when the acquisition price or manufacturing cost thereof may be reasonably explained. Investment real property is measured at the acquisition price or the manufacturing cost thereof, less accumulated depreciation and amortisation allowances as well as impairment losses. Investment real property is removed from the balance sheet in the case of disposal thereof or permanent withdrawal of a relevant investment real property from use if no future benefits from the sale thereof are anticipated. Any profits or losses resulting from removing an investment real property from the balance sheet are recognised in the profit or loss in the period during which such removal was performed Intangible assets Intangible assets are defined as identifiable non-cash assets without a physical form. This category includes for instance computer software, patents, copyrights, formulas, licences. Intangible assets are measured at the acquisition price or the manufacturing cost thereof, taking into account accumulated depreciation and amortisation allowances as well as impairment losses. Depreciation and amortisation allowances are made using the straight-line method for intangible assets with a specified usage period. Intangible assets with an unspecified usage period are not subject to depreciation and amortisation allowances. Depreciation and amortisation allowances begin on the first day of the month following the month during which the relevant intangible asset was accepted for use. The usage period and the method of depreciating intangible assets are subject to annual verification. At the Company usage periods for intangible assets range between 2 and 10 years. Profits or losses resulting from removing intangible assets from the statement of financial position are measured according to the difference between net revenues from sales and the carrying value of the relevant asset, and they are recognised in the profit or loss upon the removal thereof from the statement of financial position. 15

17 Principles applied to the intangible assets of the Company may be summarised as follows: Usage periods Depreciation method applied Internally manufactured or acquired Impairment testing Lease Company as Lessee Patents and licences Not specified. For patents and licenses used under agreements concluded for a specified period of time, this period is assumed, taking into account an additional period for which usage may be extended. Assets with an unspecified period of usage are neither depreciated nor restated. Depreciated during the term of the agreement (2-10 years) - using the straight-line method Research and development Computer software Other, e.g. copyright, licences 5-10 years 2-10 years 2-10 years 5-10 years using the straight-line method 2-10 years using the straight-line method 2-10 years using the straight-line method Acquired Internally manufactured Acquired Acquired Unspecified period of usage - annually and in the case of premises indicating impairment. For other - annual assessment if there are premises indicating impairment. Annually in the case of assets not handed over for use yet and in the case of premises indicating impairment. Annual assessment if there are premises indicating impairment. Annual assessment if there are premises indicating impairment. Lease agreements under which the entity carries practically the entire risk and derives practically all benefits resulting from the ownership of items of property, plant and equipment are classified as financial lease agreements. Property, plant and equipment acquired through financial lease is disclosed in the current value of minimum lease fees, less accumulated depreciation and amortisation allowances as well as impairment losses. Lease fees are divided into financial expenses and reduction of the outstanding liability balance in order to obtain a fixed interest rate with respect to the outstanding liability balance. Financial expenses are posted directly in costs, unless compounding terms and conditions are met. In case of lack of sufficient certainty that the lessee gains ownership title before the end of the lease period, the asset is redeemed in the shorter of the following periods: the lease period or the usage period. The entity analyses premises whether to carry out impairment testing of property, plant and equipment under lease as well as verifies the usage period of these fixed assets. Company as Lessor Lease agreements concluded by the entity with lessees are classified as financial lease agreements and are presented as receivables in the amount equivalent to the lease investment net. The Company recognises lease fees as a repayment of the principal amount receivable and financial revenues which for the entity are a refund of funds invested and a consideration for services. The Company assigns financial revenues during the term of the lease agreement in a reasonable and systematic manner. Lease fees concerning a relevant financial period reduce the gross lease investment, reducing both the principal amount receivable and the amount of unrealised financial revenues. 16

18 10.6. Impairment of non-financial non-current assets As of every balance sheet date, the business entity verifies whether there are any circumstances indicating an impairment of any item of assets. If such circumstances are found, the business entity estimates the recoverable value of the relevant asset. Regardless of whether there are any grounds indicating impairment, the business entity is obliged to carry out an annual test verifying whether impairment has occurred of intangible assets with unspecified usage periods or intangible assets which are not available for use yet by comparing the carrying value thereof with the recoverable value thereof. The recoverable value is the higher of either the fair value less selling costs of the relevant asset or the use value thereof. Fair value less selling costs is defined as the amount that may be obtained from selling an asset on market terms and conditions between transaction parties, after the deduction of disposal costs. However, the use value is defined as the current, estimated value of future cash flows expected from further use of the relevant asset or cash-generating unit. The carrying value of an asset is reduced to the level of the recoverable value thereof if and only if the recoverable value of this asset is lower than the carrying value thereof. The amount of this reduction constitutes an impairment loss. The impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the statement of comprehensive income in other operational expenses. If the recoverable value exceeds the carrying value of the relevant asset, no impairment loss is recognised. After the impairment loss has been recognised, it is necessary to adjust depreciation and amortisation allowances of the relevant asset in such a manner so as to recognise write-offs on the adjusted carrying value during the remaining usage period. As of each balance sheet date the entity estimates if there are any grounds suggesting that the impairment loss recognised in previous periods with respect to a given asset, excluding goodwill, is superfluous or whether it should be reduced. If such grounds are identified, the entity estimates the recoverable value of the relevant asset once again. Reversals of impairment losses on assets, excluding goodwill, are recognised as revenues in the statement of comprehensive income. The carrying value of an asset which has been increased as a result of reversing the impairment loss should not exceed the carrying value determined (after deducting depreciation) if no impairment loss was recognised with respect to this asset in previous years Costs of external financing Costs of external financing directly related to an acquisition, construction or manufacture of fixed assets requiring a considerable amount of time for preparation to use in accordance with the designation thereof are recognised as a part of the manufacturing cost of the relevant fixed asset. All other costs of external financing are charged to costs upon the incurrence thereof. The Company uses external financing, which is earmarked mainly for purposes related to current activities, special purpose financing comprises loans incurred at ING Bank Śląski S.A. (a loan of PLN 20 million) and at Bank Handlowy w Warszawie S.A. (a loan of PLN 7.5 million). Costs of external financing comprise the total cost of a bank loan and borrowings utilised by the Company, i.e. interest with fees. Interest is calculated on the basis of the WIBOR 1M rate augmented by margin and fee. Costs of external financing are defined as borrowing costs that may be directly related to an acquisition or manufacture of a relevant eligible asset; they are compounded as a part of the cost of this asset when it is probable that these costs will bring future economic benefits as a result and if they may be reasonably estimated. The Company activates the difference between costs of external financing and revenues from temporary investment of funds borrowed Interests in subsidiary, associates and joint arrangements Shares in subsidiary, associates and joint arrangements are disclosed at the historical cost after taking into account impairment losses. In the case of disposal of shares, the value thereof is measured using the weighted average price formula Financial assets Financial assets are divided into the following categories: 17

19 Financial assets held until maturity, Financial assets measured at fair value through the financial result, Borrowings and receivables, Financial assets available for sale. Financial assets held until maturity are defined as financial assets quoted on the active market that are not derivatives, with identified or identifiable payments and with a specified maturity date, which the Company intends and is able to keep in possession by that time, other than: specified upon initial recognition as measured at fair value through the financial result, specified as available for sale, meeting the definition of borrowings and receivables. Financial assets held until maturity are measured at the depreciated cost using the effective interest rate method. Financial assets held until maturity are classified as long-term assets if they mature more than 12 months from the balance sheet date. Financial assets measured at fair value through the financial results are measured at fair value taking into account the market value thereof as of the balance sheet date, excluding sale transaction costs. Changes in the value of these financial instruments are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as financial revenues or expenses. As of 31 December 2012 no financial assets were classified into the category measured at fair value through the financial result. Borrowings and liabilities are financial assets, not classified as derivatives, with identified or identifiable payments, not quoted on the active market. They are classified as current assets provided that they mature in less than 12 months from the balance sheet date. Borrowings granted and receivables maturing in more than 12 months from the balance sheet date are classified as non-current assets. Financial assets available for sale are defined as financial assets that are not derivatives which have been classified as available for sale or which do not belong to any of the above-mentioned three categories of assets. Financial assets available for sale are recognised at fair value augmented by transaction costs which may be directly related to an acquisition or issue of a financial asset. In the case of stock exchange quotations on the active market and if it is not possible to reasonably estimate the fair value thereof using alternative methods, financial assets available for sale are measured at the acquisition price adjusted by impairment losses. The positive and negative difference between the fair value of assets available for sale and the acquisition price thereof, less the deferred tax, is recognised in other comprehensive income. A drop of the value of assets available for sale caused by impairment is recognised as a financial expense. Acquisitions and sales of financial assets are recognised as of the transaction date. Upon initial recognition a financial asset is measured at fair value augmented, in the case of an asset not classified as measured at fair value through the financial result, by transaction costs that may be directly related to the acquisition. A financial asset is removed from the balance sheet when the Company loses control over contractual rights comprising the relevant financial instrument; this usually happens when the instrument is sold or when all cash flows ascribed to the given instrument are transferred to an independent third party Impairment of financial assets As of each balance sheet date, the Company estimates whether there are objective grounds of impairment of an item of financial assets or a group of financial assets. If there are grounds indicating that a loss has been incurred due to impairment of borrowings granted and receivables measured at the depreciated cost, then the amount of the impairment loss is equivalent to the difference between the carrying value of a financial asset and the current value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future losses due to a failure to collect receivables which have not been incurred yet), discounted using the initial (i.e. determined upon initial recognition) effective interest rate. The carrying value of an asset is reduced by applying write-downs. The amount of the loss is recognised in the profit or loss. If during the next period the impairment loss decreased and if this decrease may be objectively connected with an event occurring after the recognition of this impairment loss, then the previous impairment loss is reversed. Later reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss in the scope in which as of the reversal date the carrying value of the asset does not exceed the depreciated cost thereof. 18

20 If there are objective grounds indicating that impairment has occurred of a non-quoted equity instrument that is not disclosed at its fair value as its fair value may not be reasonably determined, or a derivative that is linked and must be settled by the supplier of such a non-quoted equity instrument, then the amount of the impairment loss is determined as the difference between the carrying value of the financial asset and the current value of estimated future cash flows discounted with the use of the current market rate for similar financial assets. If there are objective grounds indicating that impairment has occurred of a financial asset available for sale, then the amount constituting the difference between the acquisition price of this asset (less principal payments and depreciation) and its current fair value, less any impairment losses previously recognised in the profit or loss, is written off from equity and reclassified into the profit or loss. Reversal of impairment losses of equity instruments classified as available for sale may not be recognised in the profit or loss. If during the next period the fair value of a debt instrument available for sale increases and if this increase may be objectively linked with an event occurring after the recognition of the impairment loss in the profit or loss, then the amount of the reversed impairment loss is recognised in the profit or loss Embedded derivatives Embedded derivatives are separated from agreements and are treated as derivatives if all of the following conditions are satisfied: the economic nature and risk of the embedded instrument are not closely connected with the economic nature and risk of the agreement into which the relevant instrument is embedded; a separate instrument with identical performance terms and conditions as the embedded instrument would meet the definition of a derivative; a hybrid (complex) instrument is not disclosed at fair value and changes of its fair value are not recognised in the profit or loss. Embedded instruments are disclosed similarly to separate derivatives which are not classified as hedging instruments. The scope in which, according to IAS 39, economic properties and risk typical of embedded derivatives in foreign currencies are closely connected with economic properties and risk typical of principal agreements (principal contracts) also covers situations in which the currency of the principal agreement is the usual currency for contracts of purchase or sale of non-financial positions on the market for a given transaction. The Company evaluates whether a given embedded derivative is subject to separation upon initial recognition thereof Financial derivatives and hedge Derivatives used by the Company in order to hedge against the risk related to changes in foreign exchange rates comprise mainly forward contracts and currency options. Such financial derivatives are measured at fair value. Derivatives are disclosed as assets when their value is positive and as liabilities when their value is negative. Profits and losses due to changes of the fair value of derivatives which do not meet the requirements of hedge accounting are directly charged to the net financial result of the financial year. The fair value of forward contracts is determined by comparison against current forward rates in contracts with similar maturity dates. The fair value of currency options is determined by comparison against the market value of similar instruments. In hedge accounting, hedge is classified as: hedge of the fair value, hedging against the risk of changes of the fair value of the asset or liability recognised, or hedge of cash flows, hedging against changes of cash flows that may be ascribed to a particular type of risk connected with the asset or liability recognised or with the projected transaction, or hedge of the interest in net assets in a foreign operation. Hedge of a currency risk of a reasonably anticipated future liability is settled as a hedge of cash flows. Upon establishing hedge, the Company formally specifies and documents the hedging connection as well as the purpose of risk management and the strategy of establishing hedge. The documentation identifies the hedging 19
