is 12 Tyrgovska Str., Hotel Lovech in Lovech city. As at the end of
the reporting period shareholders are legal entities, the country -
through the Ministry of Energy and individuals.
The main activity of Petrol AD and its subsidiaries (the Group)
is related with trading of petrol products and non-petrol goods and
services.
These explanatory notes are prepared according to the
requirements of Art. 100o1, par.5 of the Public Offering of
Securities Act (POSA) in relation to Art. 33, par.1, item.2 of the
Ordinance No 2 of September 17, 2003 on the prospectuses in public
offering and admission of securities for trading on a regulated
market and for disclosure of information by the public companies
and other issuers of securities, and represent information about
important events occurred during the third quarter of 2019. The
explanatory notes reflect their influence on the results in the
statements for the third quarter of 2019 and describe of the main
risks and uncertainties, which stay ahead of the Petrol Group in
the rest of the financial year and comprise information for
transactions with related parties and/or interested parties, as
well as information for emerging significant receivables and/or
payables during the same period.
II. Information on important events, occurred in the third
quarter of 2019 and accumulated from the beginning of the financial
year to the end of the this quarter
Property, plant, equipment and intangible assets
As at September 30, 2019 the Group has property, plant,
equipment and intangible assets with total carrying amount of BGN
12,713 thousand.
As at September 30, 2019 property, plant and equipment with
carrying amount of BGN 10,759 thousand are mortgaged or pledged as
collaterals under bank loans, granted to the Group and to unrelated
parties, under credit limit agreements for issuance of bank
guarantees.
In 2018 the Group has acquired trade sites - petrol stations and
storage facilities on purpose to sell them. As at September 30,
2019 the carrying amount of the available in the balance sheet
non-current assets, acquired on purpose to sell them subsequently
is BGN 3,459 thousand.
Investment property
The investment properties of the Group, consisted of a land and
a building, are part of aggregated assets for BGN 1,500 thousand,
which serve as a collateral for a credit limit under contract for
revolving credit line signed in 2016.
Leases
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 Leases (issued on January 13,
2016), endorsed by the EU on October 31, 2017 and published in
Official newspaper on November 9, 2017, for the first time in the
financial statements for the year, beginning on January 1, 2019.
The Group chooses to apply a modified retrospective approach, as
the cumulative effect of the appliance is recognised to the date of
the initial appliance of IFRS 16 in the beginning balance of the
equity and a comparing information is not recalculated. The
expected effect on the financial statements is related to
irrevocable contracts for operating leases under which the Group is
lessee and therefore the recognition of new assets and new
liabilities.
The Group recognizes the liability on the lease contract to the
date of the initial appliance of the IFRS 16 for the irrevocable
lease contracts, classified before as an operating lease according
to IAS 17 at present value of the outstanding lease payments,
discounted with the differential interest rate to the date of the
first appliance. The "right to use" asset will be recognised right
before the date of the initial appliance as an amount in the
statement of financial position equal to the liability under the
lease contract, corrected with the sum of all paid in advance or
accrued lease payments related to this lease contract.
The Group will choose to use the exclusions, provided by the
Standard for lease contracts, which ended within 12 months and
lease contracts for which the base asset is with low value. The
analysis of the terms of the main rent contracts for petrol
stations shows that they should be treated as short-term within the
scope of the exclusion, because they do not have a guaranteed
period, the rent price is determined for six months periods, and
both parties have the right to cease the contract for any petrol
site with one to three months advance notice without any onerous
sanctions, that would justify the Group's assessment of the
probability of exercising the termination option by landlords as
unlikely.
Loans Granted
In January 2019 the Group granted a cash loan to an unrelated
party with a credit limit up to BGN 5,500 thousand, in tranches for
the period until December 31, 2019 at 6.7% interest rate. As at

==========
The Management of the Parent company has undertaken series of
measures related to optimization of its capital adequacy. At
several General Meetings of Shareholders (GMS) held in the period
of 2016 - 2017 a decision for reverse-split procedure for merging 4
old shares with a nominal value of BGN 1 into 1 share with a
nominal value of BGN 4 and consequent decrease of the capital of
the Parent company in order to cover losses by decreasing the
nominal value of the shares from BGN 4 to BGN 1, was voted. In
March 2018, following a decision of the Lovech Regional Court,
which repealed the refusal of the Commercial Register to register
the decision voted on EGMS for merging 4 old shares with a nominal
value of BGN 1 into 1 new share with a nominal value of BGN 4, the
applied change was registered in CR resulting in registered capital
of the Parent company of BGN 109 249 612, distributed in 27 312 403
shares with a nominal value of BGN 4 each. The change in the
capital structure of the Parent company was registered also in
Central Depositary AD. The submitted on April 2018 application for
registration of the voted on EGMS decision for the second stage of
the procedure of the Parent company's capital to be decreased by
decreasing the nominal value of the shares from BGN 4 to BGN 1 in
order to cover losses, was refused by the Commercial Register.
On EGMS of Petrol AD held on November 8, 2018 the decision to
decrease the capital of the Parent company in order to cover losses
by decreasing the nominal value of the shares from BGN 4 to BGN 1
was voted again. A refusal of the application for registration of
the decision in CR was enacted, which was appealed by the Parent
company within the statutory term. The minority shareholders
disputed the decision of the EGMS and additionally to the refusal
the application proceeding was postponed until the pronouncing of
the Lovech Regional Court on the court proceedings, initiated on
minority shareholders request. In March 2019 the Lovech Regional
Court enacted a decision, which rules the CR to register the
decrease of the capital after a resumption of the registration
proceedings following the pronouncing on the legal proceedings
initiated be the minority shareholders request.
In February 2019 was held a new EGMS, where the decision for
reduction of capital was voted again and a decision for
substitution of the deceased member of Supervisory Board Ivan
Voynovski with Rumen Konstantinov was taken. A refusal on the
application for registration of these circumstances in the file of
the Parent company was enacted, which was appealed by the Parent
company within the statutory term. In addition to the refusal, the
registration proceeding was ceased on request of minority
shareholders until the RC - Lovech rules on. In May 2019, the
Lovech District Court ruled a decision, which repealed the enacted
refusal and returned the case file to the Registry Agency to make
the requested entry after resuming the suspended registry
proceedings. At present, the legal proceedings on the claims for
annulment of the decisions of the EGMS from February 2019 are
pending.

suspend the enforcement of the appealed tax assessment, ordered by
the Parent company, a bank guarantee in favor of National Revenue

partly secured by BGN 300 thousand cash.
In August 2017 the Director of "Appealing and tax-security

thousand, partly secured by BGN 300 thousand blocked cash, was
replaced with new bank guarantee of BGN 94 thousand and the blocked
cash was released. The rest of the decreased tax liabilities was
appealed in court in higher judicial body. As a result in February
2019, following the final decision of Supreme Administrative Court
(SAC) the court proceeding was partly won and the liabilities
according to tax assessment reduced to BGN 13 thousand principal,
related to additionally calculated VAT and BGN 5 thousand accrued
interest. As at the date of preparation of these consolidated

company as unjustified and secured by a bank guarantee of BGN 800
thousand, was entirely repealed due to decision of Administrative
Court - Sofia city. The tax administration appealed the decision
and SAC repealed the decision of AC - Sofia city and returned the

guarantee contract of the liabilities of a subsidiary until
February 2018, arising of a cession contract with outstanding book
value as at September 30, 2019 of BGN 245 thousand. The cash
granted as a collateral under Art. 180 and Art. 181 of Law on
Obligations and Contracts (LOC) amounting to BGN 245 thousand is
disclosed as other receivables on guarantees. A request to release
the cash was deposited, but the court dismissed the appeal.
In the previous reporting periods companies from the Group have
entered into the debt under two loan agreements of a subsidiary
with a bank-creditor (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
complains filed by the subsidiaries, the competent court has
revoked the immediate enforcement orders and has invalidated the
receiving orders. In October and December 2015 the creditor has
filed claims under Art. 422 of Civil Procedure Code (CPC) against
the subsidiaries for the existence of the receivables under each
loan agreement. The court proceedings of the creditor are still
pending.
In December 2016 the first instance court decreed a decision
(the Decision) which admit for established that the bank has a
receivable amounted to USD 15,527 thousand from the subsidiaries -
joint debtors, arising from a signed loan agreement for USD 15,000
thousand. With the same decision the court has ordered the
joint-debtors to pay BGN 411 thousand to the bank - creditor for
legal advisory fees and court dispute expenses and BGN 538 thousand
state fee in favor of the judiciary state for the ordered
proceedings and BGN 538 thousand state fee for claim proceedings.
In January 2017, the co-debtors have filed in time appeals against
the court decision, because of that the decision did not come into
force. As at the date of the preparation of these explanatory
notes, the dispute is pending in the appeal court. The Group's
Management considers that there are grounded chances the Decision
to be entirely repealed.
As at the date of the preparation of these explanatory notes,
the filed proceedings against the subsidiaries - joint debtors for
estimation of the bank receivables due to the loan agreement for
USD 20,000 thousand is pending before the first-instance court. The
Management expects favorable decision by the competent court. As at
the date of the preparation of this financial report the Parent
company sold its interest in one of co-debtor subsidiaries and the
potential risk for the Group is reduced to the court proceedings
against the second subsidiary.
A creditor of a subsidiary (until December 2015) unreasonably
claimed in court the responsibility of the Parent company under a
contract of guarantee for liabilities arising from a contract for a
framework credit limit as a result of that the bank accounts of the
Parent company amounting to USD 29,983 thousand were garnished.
This claim was disputed in court by Petrol AD because the liability
as guarantor has not occurred and / or extinguished pursuant to
Art. 147, paragraph 2 of the Law on Obligations and Contracts
(LOC). 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 Law on Obligations
and Contracts (LOC) 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 LOC, 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 ceased, due to
preliminary legal dispute, which is important for the proper
solving of the case.
Other significant events occurred during the reporting
quarter
As it is disclosed above, the Group's Management has taken a
series of measures to optimize the capital adequacy of the Parent
company. As a result of several general meetings of shareholders
hold in 2016 and 2017, a decision for reverse split procedure was
voted for merging 4 old shares with nominal value of BGN 1 into 1
new share with nominal value of BGN 4 and subsequent decrease of
the Parent company's capital to cover losses by decreasing the
nominal value of the shares from BGN 4 to BGN 1. In March 2018,
following a decision of the Lovech Regional Court, which repealed
the refusal of the Commercial Register to register the decision
voted on EGMS for merging 4 old shares with nominal value of BGN 1
into 1 new share with nominal value of BGN 4. The applied change
was registered in Commercial Register (CR) resulting in registered
capital of the Parent company of BGN 109 249 612, distributed in 27
312 403 shares with nominal of BGN 4 each.
The change in the capital structure of the Parent company was
registered also in Central Depositary AD. In the beginning of April
2018 the application was submitted for registration of the voted on
EGMS decision for the second stage of the procedure for decreasing
the Parent company's capital by decreasing the nominal value of the
shares from BGN 4 to BGN 1 in order to cover losses. As at the date
of preparation of the actual explanatory notes, the applications is
rejected by the CR.
On EGMS of Petrol AD held on November 8, 2018 the decision to
decrease the capital of the Parent company in order to cover losses
by decreasing the nominal value of the shares from BGN 4 to BGN 1
was voted again. A refusal of the application for registration of
the decision in CR was enacted, which was appealed by the Parent
company within the statutory term. The minority shareholders
disputed the decision of the EGMS and additionally to the refusal
the application proceeding was postponed until the pronouncing of
the Lovech Regional Court on the court proceedings, initiated on
minority shareholders request. In March 2019 the Lovech Regional
Court enacted a decision, which rules the CR to register the
decrease of the capital after a resumption of the registration
proceedings following the pronouncing on the legal proceedings
initiated be the minority shareholders request.
In February 2019 was held a new EGMS, where the decision for
reduction of capital was voted again and a decision for
substitution of the deceased member of Supervisory Board Ivan
Voynovski with Rumen Konstantinov was taken. A refusal on the
application for registration of these circumstances in the file of
the Parent company was enacted, which was appealed by the Parent
company within the statutory term. In addition to the refusal, the
registration proceeding was ceased on request of minority
shareholders until the RC - Lovech rules on. In May 2019, the
Lovech District Court ruled a decision, which repealed the enacted
refusal and returned the case file to the Registry Agency to make
the requested entry after resuming the suspended registry
proceedings. At present, the legal proceedings on the claims for
annulment of the decisions of the EGMS from February 2019 are
pending.
III. Disclosure of transactions with related parties
The total amount of the accrued remunerations of the members of
Management and Supervisory Board of the Parent company, included in
the personnel expenses, amounted to BGN 1,064 thousand, and the
unsettled liabilities as at September 30, 2019 are at the amount of
BGN 95 thousand.
In the third quarter of 2019 transactions with related parties
have not been carried out.
IV. Risks and uncertainties ahead of the Group for the rest of
the financial year
Macroeconomic environment
The Petrol Group's activity is influenced by the general
economic condition of the country and in particular the degree of
the successful adoption of the market-oriented economic reforms by
the government, changes in the gross domestic product (GDP) and the
purchasing power of the Bulgarian customers. In the long term the
change in the fuels consumption in the country is commensurate with
the GDP.
As a result of the global financial and economic crisis, the
Bulgarian economy has been experiencing a continuing decline in its
development which affects a wide range of industries. This leads to
a noticeable deterioration in cash flows and reduction in income
and eventually - to a significant deterioration of the economic
environment in which the Group operates. In addition, there is a
significant increase in price risk, market risk, credit risk,
liquidity risk, interest rate risk, operating risk and other types
of financial risks, which the Group is exposed to.
As a result, there has been an increase in uncertainty about the
customers' ability to repay their obligations in accordance with
the agreed terms. Therefore, the amount of impairment losses on
loans granted, sales receivables and on the values of other
accounting estimates, might differ substantially in future
reporting periods from the reported ones in these consolidated
financial statements. The Management of the Group applies the
necessary procedures to manage these risks.
Legislature
The Parent company is supervised by a number of regulatory
bodies in the country and a potential change in the regulatory
framework, regulating the Parent company's activity may have a
negative impact on the Group's financial results. In July 2018 the
Government of the Republic of Bulgaria adopted a new Law for
Administrative Regulation of the Economic Activities, Related to
Petrol and Petroleum Products, which aims to provide security and
predictability in trading with petrol and petroleum products and
increase the energy security of the country. Due to its core
business, this law will affect the Group.
Suppliers
Due to the specific of the primary business of Petrol Group,
namely retail and wholesale trading with fuels, the Group's fuels
supplies are provided by a small number of suppliers, as a result
of which the Group is at risk of discontinuation of relationships
with key suppliers, which may lead to a short-term depletion of
inventories and trading activity difficulties;
Competition
Retail trading with petroleum products is carried out in highly
competitive market as the products offered in the sector are
homogenous and entire substitutes of the offered products by other
companies in the sector. In addition, the regulatory framework
stipulates an exact specification of the minimum requirements of
the fuels offered at the trade stations and all market participants
should comply with the imposed legal requirements;
Price risk
The Group is at risk of frequent and sharp changes in prices of
fuels and non-petroleum goods. Because of that, the future
financial results may diverge significantly from the expectations
of the Group's Management. Any future sharp fluctuations in the
price of fuels and non-petroleum goods may lead to a deterioration
of the financial position of the Group;
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as
foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will
affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial
instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage
and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters,
while optimizing the return. Because of the nature of its activity,
the Group is exposed to price and currency risk.
The Group is exposed to the risk of change in currency rate,
movement in the interest rates and the prices of the capital
instruments, which may impact the Group's financial instruments or
the value of its investments.
Interest rate risk
Risks arising from the increase in the price of the Group's
financing;
Credit risk
The risk of inability of the Group's trade partners to fulfill
their contractual obligations, which may lead to losses for the
Group;
Exceptional costs
There is a risk of incurring unforeseeable costs, which to
affect negatively the financial position of the Group;
Political risk
Risks to the Group arising from global and regional political
and economic crises;
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group may not be able to
meet its financial obligations when they fall due. The policy is
aimed at ensuring sufficient liquidity with which to serve
liabilities when they fall due, including abnormal and emergency
situations.
