Independent auditors' report

Qualified opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of OPEN STOCK HOLDING COMPANY “BARQI TOJIK” (the “Company”) and its subsidiary companies (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2019, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as issued by the IASB..

Basis for qualified opinion

The Group has not adopted appropriate internal control procedures related to the recognition of the revenue and related receivables from its customers to assess the completeness of income and whether the revenue and receivables are recorded when the services have been provided. We were not able to perform alternative procedures in order to satisfy ourselves regarding the completeness and occurrence of revenue and the completeness of the receivables from clients. The effect of this departure from the International Financial Reporting Standards on the Group's financial position has not been determined.

The Group have entered in to a share-part construction contract for HPP “Sangtuda-2” which was not entirely complied by the Group and consequently penalties should have been accrued amounting to US$108.7 mln (equivalent of TJS 1,052.6 mln. somoni). The respective penalties have not been included in the accrued expenses as the management of the Group is currently under negotiation and expects to waive the penalty clause from the contract. We have not received sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the stage of negotiation and whether the respective penalties and claims could be waived. In case such waiver will not be obtained other payables and accrued expenses should have increased by USD 108.7 mln (TJS 1,052.6 mln) and road users tax, income tax, net income and shareholders’ equity would have been reduced by TJS 10.5 mln. TJS 138.2 mln and TJS 924.9 mln, respectively.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Material Uncertainly Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 3 “Going Concern” in the financial statements, which indicates that the Group incurred a net loss of 5,771,675 thousand somoni during the year ended December 31, 2019 and, as of that date, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by 14,138,132 thousand somoni. As stated in Note 3 these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 3 indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Unless the Group continues to receive financial support from its shareholder and other related parties as well as from financial institutions, it may be unable to continue operating in foreseeable future. A letter of financial support on behalf of the shareholder signed by State Committee on Investment and Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan dated on July 27, 2020 stated that continuous financial support will be granted to the Group to continue operating under going concern and meet its obligations as they become due. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Emphasis of matters

Without further qualifying our opinion we draw attention to the following matters:

a. We draw attention to Note 2 par. “Changes in energy sector” to the consolidated financial statements which describes the uncertainties in the industry. The whole energy system of the Republic of Tajikistan is experiencing significant restructuring and reform. Such reforms may cause material influence to the consolidated financial statements which cannot be estimated reliably.

b. We draw attention to Notes 6 to the consolidated financial statements. The Group was granted temporary permission to operate the new thermal electric power plant Dushanbe-2 (the “TPP Dushanbe-2”). The Group recognizes all income and expenses related to the use and operations of TPP Dushanbe-2.

c. We draw attention to Note 5 „ Critical accounting estimates and professional judgements in applying accounting policy” which describe the key assumptions and estimates used for the revaluation of the Property, plant and equipment. In the event that any of these assumptions used will not be materialized or the limiting conditions will be realized then impairment loss might be necessary to be recorded in the financial statements to reflect the revised assumptions.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of these matters.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. In addition to the matters described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion section we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our audit report. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided is that

context.

Valuation of property plant equipment carried at revalued amount Refer to Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements

Key audit matter/Risk

How the key audit matter was addressed in the audit

Refer to note 5 & 6 to the consolidated financial statements:

The Group’s Property, Plant and Equipment amounts for the year ended 31 December 2019 TJS 17,266,934 thousand.

The value of Property, plant and Equipment is measured at fair value. The fair value is determined using discounted cash flows in the absence of comparable market data because of the nature of the properties. The effect of the valuation includes an impairment loss amounting to TJS 3,201,698 thousand recorded in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and fair value gain amounting to TJS 5,730,298 thousand recorded as other comprehensive income.

Due to the level of judgment involved in the valuation

of Property, Plant and Equipment, complexity of the governance structure as well as the significance of Property, Plant and equipment. to the Group's financial position, this is considered to be a key audit matter.

Our procedures in relation to the fair value assessment of property plant and equipment included, among others:

• Gained understanding over the management review and monitoring controls for interpretation of group policy and IAS 16 standard;

• Assessing the methodologies used by the external valuer to estimate the discounted cash-flows;

• Evaluating the independent external valuer’s competence, capabilities and objectivity;

• Testing, on a sample basis, the accuracy and relevance of the input data provided by management to the external valuer;

• Assessing management’s key assumptions used to estimate the discounted cash-flows knowledge of the electricity services industry; and

• Considering the potential impact of reasonably possible downside changes in these key assumptions.

We also evaluated the appropriateness of the disclosures relating to the assumptions and sensitivity of such assumptions in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements

Other matter

This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Group’s members as a body. To the fullest extent, permitted by the Law, our audit work has been undertaken so that we might report those matters that we are required to report in an Auditor’s Report and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purposes or to any other person to whose knowledge this report may come to.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, 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.

Auditor’s 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 ISAs 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 ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism 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.

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 to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

2. OPERATING ENVIRONMENT

In contrast to the more developed markets emerging markets, such as the Republic of Tajikistan, are exposed to various risks, including economic, political and social, and legal and legislative risks. As has happened in the past, actual or perceived financial problems or an increase in the perceived risks associated with investing in emerging economies could adversely affect the investment climate in countries and the countries’ economy in general.

Laws and regulations affecting businesses in the Republic of Tajikistan continue to change rapidly. Tax, currency and customs legislation within the country are subject to varying interpretations, and other legal and fiscal difficulties leading to the challenges faced by the Group. The future economic direction of the Republic of Tajikistan is largely dependent on economic, fiscal and monetary measures undertaken by the government, together with legal, regulatory developments.

These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that would have been required due resolution of the uncertainty in the future. Possible adjustments may be made to the consolidated statements in that period in which necessity of their reflection will become evident, and it will be possible to estimate their numerical values.

Changes in the energy sector

Industry as well as the other systems of the Republic of Tajikistan is experiencing significant restructuring and reform (the process of transformation of the country with a planned economy into a state with a market economy), and the future direction of reforms and results are unknown at this time. Potential reforms in tariff policy, repayment of debt by state enterprises, reorganization of the market of gross sale and implementation of measures to promote competition in gross sale market, can have a significant impact on companies in this industry

According to the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan # 234 of April 28, 2018 "On the reorganization of joint-stock companies" the following organizations will be merged into OJSC

"Transmission electrical grids" and OJSC "Distribution electric grids ":

Due to uncertainty regarding the ongoing changes in the industry, management is unable to assess the impact of reforms on the present and future financial position of the Group. However, Management believes that these uncertainties will not have a significant impact on operational activity compared to other companies operating in the Republic of Tajikistan.

3. PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Report on compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (the “IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”) and Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (the “IFRIC”).

Use of estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making those estimates, actual results reported in future periods could differ from such estimates.

Basis of presentation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), which collective term includes all International Accounting Standards and related interpretations, promulgated by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), This is the first set of the Group’s annual financial statements in which IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments have been applied. Changes to significant accounting policies are described in Notes. A number of other new standards are also effective from 1 January 2018 but they do not have a material effect on the Group’s financial statements.

Due to the transition methods chosen by the Group in applying these standards, comparative information throughout these financial statements has not been restated to reflect the requirements of the new standards.

A number of new standards and amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2019 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the following new or amended standards in preparing these consolidated financial statements.

Going concern

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Group is a going concern and will continue its operation for the foreseeable future. This basis may not be appropriate as the Group incurred a loss of 5,771,675 and 3,343,316 thousand somoni for the year ended December 31, 2019, and, as at that date its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by 14,138,132 thousand somoni, and accumulated deficit amounted to 19,243,994 thousand somoni. These factors indicate the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast significant doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The management and shareholder have the intention to further develop the Group’s activities in the Republic of Tajikistan. The Group is owned by the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and generates, distributes and sells the major share of electricity consumed in the Republic of Tajikistan. Electric power generated by the Group remains the key element for the economy of the Republic of Tajikistan, as well as fundamental for the Government’s social and economic objectives.

Based on above, the Management believes that the going concern assumption is appropriate for the Group due to continuing financing from the sole shareholder of the Group.

Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of each of the Group’s consolidated entities is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. The functional currency of the Group and the Group’s presentation currency is national currency of the Republic of Tajikistan Tajik somoni (the “somoni”).

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries), which are recorded as branches for the purpose of the consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

The subsidiary is consolidated from the date of acquisition, which is the date when control is obtained over the subsidiary, and discontinued from consolidation when the control is lost. The consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as for the Company, based on consistently applied accounting policy for all branches of the Company.

Changes in ownership of subsidiaries without loss of control are treated as transactions equity. If the Group loses control over the subsidiary the following is reflected:

• discontinues recognition of assets and liabilities of the subsidiary;

• records the fair value of proceeds received in exchange;

• records fair value of outstanding portion of the investment;

• records gains or losses in statement of comprehensive income;

• reclassifies interest of the Company in subsidiaries, recognised in other comprehensive income before to statement of comprehensive income or retained earnings in accordance with particular requirements.

The consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same period as the Group, based on consistently applied accounting policy for all branches of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation.

4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Electricity sales

Revenue from sale of electricity is recognised when customers on post-paid metering are billed for the power consumed. The billing is done for each monthly billing cycle based on the units consumed as read on the customers’ electricity meters and the approved customer tariffs. Revenue from sale of electricity is recognised in the consolidated financial statements net of valued added tax (VAT).

Foreign currency transactions

The functional currency of the Group and the Group’s presentation currency is national currency of the Republic of Tajikistan Tajik somoni (the “somoni”). The Group applies direct method of consolidation, and upon disposal of foreign investment performs the reclassification of gains and losses from translation differences to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Transactions in foreign currency are initially recognised by the companies of the Group in functional currency at exchange rate at the date of transaction.

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are revalued at spot rate of functional currency effective at the reporting date.

All foreign currency differences are transferred to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary lines at historical cost in foreign currency are recognised at exchange rate effective at the date of initial transaction. Non-monetary lines at revalued method in foreign currency are recognised at the exchange rate effective at the date of consideration of fair value. Gains and losses arising from non-monetary items are treated same as gains and losses from foreign currency transactions.

Assets and liabilities in foreign investments are translated to somoni at the exchange rate effective at the reporting date, and statement of comprehensive income of such subsidiaries, are recorded at the rate effective on the date of transaction. Translation differences arising from such treatment are recorded in other comprehensive income. Upon disposal of foreign investment the component of other comprehensive income, related to this foreign investment are transferred to the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized only if inflow of economic benefits to the Group is probable, and if revenue can be reliably measured, despite of the timing of cash proceeds. The revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable, in accordance with contractual terms of payments.

Interest income

Interest income and expense on financial instruments held at amortised cost, and interest bearing financial assets, classified as held-for-sale are recognised based on effective interest rate method, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that asset's net carrying amount on initial recognition. The interest income is added to finance income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Taxes

Current income tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current period as measured at recoverable from or payable to taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax legislation applied for calculations are the rates and legislation accepted or factually adopted as at reporting date in the countries, where the Group performs its activities and has taxable income.

Deferred taxes

Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary differences, except for cases when:

• Deferred tax liabilities arising at initial recording of goodwill, asset or liability as a result of transaction other than business combination, and at transaction date does not impact accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss;

• Taxable temporary differences in respect of investments in subsidiaries, associates, as well as interest in joint ventures, and if possible to control distribution by periods related to recoverability of temporary differences, and there is high probability of recovery of temporary difference in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, unused tax incentives and

unused tax losses, to the extent of highly probable upcoming profits, against which the recovery of

deductible temporary differences, unused tax incentives and unused tax losses will take place, except for:

• Deferred tax asset, related to temporary difference as a result of initial recognition of asset or liability arising from business combinations, which at the date of transaction does not impact accounting nor tax profit or losses;

• Deductible temporary differences as a result of investments in subsidiaries, associated companies, as well as interest in joint venture where the deferred tax assets are recognised to the extend of highly probable upcoming profits, against which the recovery of deductible temporary differences, unused tax incentives and unused tax losses will take place.

The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and decreased to the extent of sufficient profits, which will allow to use all or part of the deferred tax assets, are assessed as unlikely. Deferred tax assets not recognised in the statements are reviewed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent, when there is high probability of upcoming profits, allowing to recover such tax assets.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are valued at tax rates, which are expected to be applied in the period, when such asset will be recovered or liability settled at tax rates (tax regulation), which were accepted or factually adopted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax, related to the components other than statement of comprehensive income, as also not recorded in statement of comprehensive income. The deferred taxes are recognised in accordance with underlying transactions or in as a component of other comprehensive income, or directly on equity.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there are legal right for offset of current income tax assets and liabilities, and deferred taxes are related to the same company and tax authority.

Property, plant and equipment

After initial recognition as an asset, property, plant and equipment are carried at revalued cost, being the fair value of the object on the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

The equipment is held at revalued amount less accumulated depreciation and/or accumulated loss from impairment, if any. This cost includes cost of replaced spare parts, as well as borrowing costs, in case of non-current construction projects, when certain criteria are met. When there is a need for significant component replacement within defined period the Group disposes the replaced component and recognizes new components in accordance with useful life and depreciation. Expenses related to major technical check are included to the cost of the asset, as replaced equipment, when related criteria are met. All other expenses for maintenance are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred.

The buildings are held at revalued amount less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged on the carrying value of property, plant and equipment to write off assets over their useful life. Depreciation is charged at straight line method at the following rates:

Property, plant and equipment group

(years)

1. Buildings

3-98

2. Constructions

- Transmission equipment

2-90

3. Machinery and equipment

- Vehicles

3-25

- Office equipment

3-20

- Furniture and appliances

3-50

- Leasehold improvements

6-55

- Land improvements

6-50

In 2019, after revaluation the useful life of property, plant and equipment were reconsidered and increased. Changes in depreciation accruals were made on perspective basis.

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss, and presented in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period, when derecognition took place.

The useful life term and depreciation method are annually reassessed, and adjusted if needed.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at their fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired are recorded at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses (if any). Internally generated intangible assets, except for development costs included to the cost of an asset are not capitalized, and related expenses included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period, when incurred.

The useful life of intangible assets can be definite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with definite useful life are amortised during the period of this period and subject for impairment assessment if such indicators exist. The period and amortisation method for all intangible asset with definite useful life are reassessed at least at each reporting date. Changes in estimated useful life or structure of inflow of future benefits inherent to the asset are added to the consolidated financial statements as changes in period and method of amortisation, depending on situation, and disclosed as changes in estimates. The amortisation expenses for intangible assets with definite useful life recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the category, which relates to the function of the intangible asset.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are not amortised, rather tested separately for impairment on an annual basis. The useful life term of intangible assets with indefinite useful life is reviewed on an annual basis in order to determine whether it is reasonable to continue classify the asset as intangible asset with indefinite useful life. If it is not acceptable, the change in useful life of an asset is prospectively changed from indefinite to definite.

Gains and losses from disposal of intangible assets are measured as difference from proceeds and book value of the asset and recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income at the date of disposal of use asset.

Patents and licenses

Patents are issued for the period of 10 years by the relevant state body with a right to prolong. License on right for intellectual property issued from 5-10 years, depending on type of license.

Licenses can be prolonged in the end of the term, if the Group will comply with preset conditions. Prolongation can be made for notional fee or free of charge. Therefore the useful life of these licenses is treated as indefinite.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

At the end of each reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that fixed and intangible assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists evaluation is carried out for a possible reduction in the recoverable amount of assets (if any). If it is impossible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognized immediately as an expense, except where the relevant asset (land, buildings, or equipment) carried at a revalued amount. In this case the impairment loss is recognized as a reduction of revaluation of the respective fund.

If an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of an asset (cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined if the asset was not recognized an impairment loss (cash-generating unit) in prior years. Reversal of an impairment loss is recognized immediately in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

During write-off of a revalued property, plant and equipment, the amounts included in the revaluation reserve are transferred to retained earnings.

Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognised as deferred revenue in the consolidated statement of financial position and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant, measured as the difference between proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. All other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses, in the period when such expenses incurred. Borrowing costs include the payment for interest and other expenses, incurred by the Group in respect of borrowings.

Financial instruments - initial recognition and subsequent measurement

(a) Financial assets and liabilities recognition A financial asset is any asset that is:

(a) cash;

(b) an equity instrument of another entity;

(c) a contractual right:

(i) to receive cash or another financial asset from another entity; or

(ii) to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially favourable to the entity; or

(d) a contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is:

(i) a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to receive a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments; or

(ii) a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments. For this purpose the entity’s own equity instruments do not include puttable financial instruments classified as equity instruments hat impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation and are classified as equity instruments, or instruments that are contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity’s own equity instruments.

A financial liability is any liability that is:

(a) a contractual obligation:

(i) to deliver cash or another financial asset to another entity; or

(ii) to exchange financial assets or financial liabilities with another entity under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the entity; or

(b) a contract that will or may be settled in the entity’s own equity instruments and is:

(i) a non-derivative for which the entity is or may be obliged to deliver a variable number of the entity’s own equity instruments; or

(ii) a derivative that will or may be settled other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments. For this purpose, rights, options or warrants to acquire a fixed number of the entity’s own equity instruments for a fixe amount of any currency are equity instruments if the entity offers the rights, options or warrants pro rata to all of its existing owners of the same class of its own non-derivative equity instruments. Also, for these purposes the entity’s own equity instruments do not include puttable financial instruments that are classified as equity instruments, instruments that impose on the entity an obligation to deliver to another party a pro rata share of the net assets of the entity only on liquidation and are classified as equity instruments, or instruments that are contracts for the future receipt or delivery of the entity’s own equity instruments.

Initial recognition and measurement

Group measure a financial asset or financial liability at its fair value plus or minus, in the case of a financial asset or financial liability not at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability except trade receivables. However, if the fair value of the financial asset or financial liability at initial recognition differs from the transaction price (except trade receivables), an entity shall apply fair value at initial recognition when equals the transaction price, an entity shall consider factors specific to the transaction and to the asset or liability.

Despite the requirements above witch except trade receivables, at initial recognition, the Group measure trade receivables at their transaction price (as defined in IFRS 15) if the trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component in accordance with IFRS 15 (or when the entity applies the practical expedient in accordance with IFRS 15).

Regular way purchases or sales are purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace. Financial assets of the Group includes the cash and current deposits, trade and other receivables, loans and other amounts receivables and unquoted financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement of financial assets

After initial recognition, Group measure a financial asset at:

(a) amortised cost;

(b) fair value through other comprehensive income; or

(c) fair value through profit or loss.

Subsequent measurement of financial liabilities

After initial recognition, the Group measure financial liability in accordance with its classification:

The Group classify all financial liabilities as subsequently measured at amortised cost, except for:

(a) financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Such liabilities, including derivatives that are liabilities, shall be subsequently measured at fair value.

(b) financial liabilities that arise when a transfer of a financial asset does not qualify for derecognition or when the continuing involvement approach applies.

(c) financial guarantee contracts. After initial recognition, an issuer of such a contract shall (unless paragraph (a) or (b) applies) subsequently measure it at the higher of:

(i) the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with Impairment criterias and (ii) the amount initially recognised (financial assets except trade receivables) less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15.

(d) commitments to provide a loan at a below-market interest rate. An issuer of such a commitment shall (unless paragraph (a) applies) subsequently measure it at the higher of:

(i) the amount of the loss allowance determined in accordance with Impairment criterias of IFRS 9 and

(ii) the amount initially recognised (financial assets except trade receivables) less, when appropriate, the cumulative amount of income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15.

(e) contingent consideration recognised by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies. Such contingent consideration shall subsequently be measured at fair value with changes recognised in profit or loss.

Option to designate a financial liability at fair value through profit or loss:

The Group, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a financial liability as measured at fair value through profit or loss when permitted by IFRS 9, or when doing so results in more relevant information, because either:

(a) it eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as ‘an accounting mismatch’) that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases; or

(b) a group of financial liabilities or financial assets and financial liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy, and information about the group is provided internally on that basis to the entity’s key management personnel, for example, the entity’s board of directors and chief executive officer.

Derecognition of financial assets

Group derecognise a financial asset when, and only when:

(a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or

(b) it transfers the financial asset and the transfer qualifies for derecognition;

Group transfers a financial asset if, and only if, it either:

(c) transfers the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, or

(d) retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of the financial asset, but assumes a contractual obligation to pay the cash flows to one or more recipients in an arrangement that meets the conditions disclosed bellow.

Group retains the contractual rights to receive the cash flows of a financial asset (the ‘original asset’), but assumes a contractual obligation to pay those cash flows to one or more entities (the ‘eventual recipients’), the entity treats the transaction as a transfer of a financial asset if, and only if, all of the following three conditions are met:

(a) The entity has no obligation to pay amounts to the eventual recipients unless it collects equivalent amounts from the original asset. Short-term advances by the entity with the right of full recovery of the amount lent plus accrued interest at market rates do not violate this condition.

(b) The entity is prohibited by the terms of the transfer contract from selling or pledging the original asset other than as security to the eventual recipients for the obligation to pay them cash flows.

(c) The entity has an obligation to remit any cash flows it collects on behalf of the eventual recipients without material delay. In addition, the entity is not entitled to reinvest such cash flows, except for investments in cash or cash equivalents (as defined in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows) during the short settlement period from the collection date to the date of required remittance to the eventual recipients, and interest earned on such investments is passed to the eventual recipients.

When the Group transfers a financial asset, it evalutes the extent to which it retains the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset. In this case:

(a) if the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Group derecognise the financial asset and recognise separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer.

(b) if the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Group continue to recognise the financial asset.

(c) if the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Group determine whether it has retained control of the financial asset. In this case:

(i) if the Grop has not retained control, it derecognise the financial asset and recognise separately as assets or liabilities any rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer.

(ii) if the Group has retained control, it continue to recognise the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset.

The transfer of risks and rewards is evaluated by comparing the Group’s exposure, before and after the transfer, with the variability in the amounts and timing of the net cash flows of the transferred asset. An group has retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset if its exposure to the variability in the present value of the future net cash flows from the financial asset does not change significantly as a result of the transfer (eg because the Group has sold a financial asset subject to an agreement to buy it back at a fixed price or the sale price plus a lender’s return). An Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a financial asset if its exposure to such variability is no longer significant in relation to the total variability in the present value of the future net cash flows associated with the financial asset (eg because the entity has sold a financial asset subject only to an option to buy it back at its fair value at the time of repurchase or has transferred a fully proportionate share of the cash flows from a larger financial asset in an arrangement, such as a loan sub-participation, that meets the conditions in paragraph set above).

Often it will be obvious whether the Group has transferred or retained substantially all risks and rewards of ownership and there will be no need to perform any computations. In other cases, it will be necessary to compute and compare the Group’s exposure to the variability in the present value of the future net cash flows before and after the transfer. The computation and comparison are made using as the discount rate an appropriate current market interest rate. All reasonably possible variability in net cash flows is considered, with greater weight being given to those outcomes that are more likely to occur. Whether the Group has retained control of the transferred asset depends on the transferee’s ability to sell the asset. If the transferee has the practical ability to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party and is able to exercise that ability unilaterally and without needing to impose additional restrictions on the transfer, the Group has not retained control. In all other cases, the Group has retained control.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group remove a financial liability (or a part of a financial liability) from its statement of financial position when, and only when, it is extinguished—ie when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

An exchange between an existing borrower and lender of debt instruments with substantially different terms is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability. Similarly, a substantial modification of the terms of an existing financial liability or a part of it (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor) is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability.

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability) extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

If Group repurchases a part of a financial liability, the entity shall allocate the previous carrying amount of the financial liability between the part that continues to be recognised and the part that is derecognized based on the relative fair values of those parts on the date of the repurchase. The difference between (a) the carrying amount allocated to the part derecognised and (b) the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, for the part derecognised is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment of financial assets

At each reporting date the Group performs the assessment of indicators of impairment of financial asset or group of financial assets. Financial asset or group of financial assets can be impaired if, and only if, when there is a reliable evidence of impairment as a result of one of number of events taking place subsequent to initial recognition (the “event resulting the loss”), which resulted the impact, which can be reliably measured, on expected future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets. The indicators of impairment can include the fact that debtor or group of debtors are experiencing insolvency issues, and cannot repay the debt or has delays is repayment of interest or principal amount of debt, as well as probability of insolvency and upcoming liquidation process or financial restructuring. Moreover, such indicators include observable evidence, indicating existence of reliably measured decrease in expected cash flows of the financial instrument, in particular, the changes in overdue debts or economic environment, which has certain dependencies with defaults in repayments of debt.

The Group recognise a loss allowance for expected credit losses on a financial asset that is measured for a contract asset or a loan commitment and a financial guarantee contract to which the impairment requirements apply.

The objective of the impairment is to recognise lifetime expected credit losses for all financial instruments for which there have been significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition — whether assessed on an individual or collective basis — considering all reasonable and supportable information, including that which is forward-looking.

The Group always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for:

(a) trade receivables or contract assets that result from transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 15, and that:

(i) do not contain a significant financing component in accordance with IFRS 15 (or when the Group applies the practical expedient of IFRS 15); or

(ii) contain a significant financing component in accordance with IFRS 15, if the Group chooses as its accounting policy to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. That accounting policy shall be applied to all such trade receivables or contract assets but may be applied separately to trade receivables and contract assets.

(b) lease receivables that result from transactions that are within the scope of IFRS 16.

Financial assets recorded at amortized cost

The Group performs the assessment of indicators of impairment financial assets recorded at amortised cost if individually significant or if individually insignificant, than by groups. If the Group identifies the reliable evidence of absence of impairment, despite of the significance, such asset is included in the group of financial assets with similar characteristic of credit risk, and subsequently reviews this group for impairment indicators in aggregate. Assets, individually assessed as impaired are not included in aggregate assessment of the group for impairment.

When there is reliable evidence of incurred losses from impairment, the amount of loss is recognised as a difference of book value and discounted expected future cash flows (without expected future credit losses not yet incurred).

Present value of expected future cash flows are discounted at initial effective interest rate of the financial asset. If the interest rate of borrowing is a floating rate, the discount rate for impairment loss calculation is current effective interest rate.

The book value of the asset decreases through reserve account, and amount of loss added to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Accrual of interest income on decreased book value continued based on rate, used for discounting future cash flows for the purpose of assessing losses from impairment. Interest income is included in financial income in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. Loans along with related provisions are not included in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is no evidence of recoverability of such and all available security was sold or transferred to the Group. If during the subsequent period the amount of calculated losses from impairment increases or decreases as a result of an event taking place after recognition of impairment, the amount of losses recognized increase or decrease by means of reserve account adjustment. If the subsequently the write-off of value of financial asset recovers, the amount of recovery recognised as decrease of finance costs in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Financial investments

The Group performs the annual assessment for impairment indicators for the investments. If the investments in equity instruments, the reliable evidence of impairment would be significant and continuous decrease in fair value of the investment below its initial acquisition cost. The significance is measured in comparison to initial acquisition cost, continuous means the comparison to the period, when decrease below initial acquisition cost took place. When reliable evidence of impairment is identified the amount of comprehensive loss, calculated as difference of book value and current fair value, less an other impairment loss recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, the loss is reclassified from other comprehensive income to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

The promissory notes are subject of same impairment criteria applied to financial assets recorded at amortised cost. However, the amount of impairment loss recognised is the difference of amortised cost and current fair value, less accumulated impairment loss for this investment, recognised previously in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Accrual of interest income on decreased book value continued based on rate, used for discounting future cash flows for the purpose of assessing losses from impairment. Interest income is included in financial income in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. If during the subsequent period the fair value of the promissory note will increase and this increase can be reliably tied with event taking place after initial loss recognition in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the impairment losses are recovered in profit and loss.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost of inventories is determined using the FIFO method.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group performs the assessment of impairment indicators of the assets at each reporting date. If such indicators exist or if there is a requirement to perform impairment test, than Group perform the assessment of recoverability of asset. The recoverable amount of the asset or component, generating cash flows (the “CGCF”) is higher of fair value of the asset less cost to sell and value in use of the asset. Recoverable amount is determined for separate asset, except for cases, when such asset does not generate cash flows, which dependent on cash flows generated by other assets or group of assets. If the book value of the asset or CGCF exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is impaired and written off to recoverable amount. When estimated value in use future cash flows are discounted at the discount rate before taxation, which reflects the current market estimate of time value of money and risks related to the asset. When determining fair value of the asset less cost to sell recent market deals (if any) are taken into account. If no such information is available, appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are supported by valuation coefficients, market prices of freely convertible shares of the subsidiaries or other available indicators of the fair value.

If the book value of the asset or CGCF exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered as impaired and written down to recoverable amount. Under assessment of value in use the future cash flows are discounted at the rate net of tax, which reflects the present market value of cash flows and risks inherent to the asset. Under assessment of the fair value less cost to sell, the recent market transactions (if were existent) are taken into consideration. If no such transaction took place the relevant valuation model is applied. These computations are supported by estimated coefficients, active market quotes of subsidiaries shares and other available indicators of fair value.

Impairment losses from ongoing activities (including inventory impairment) are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as a component of those expenses, which are related to the function of the asset, except for previously revalued real estate if revaluation was recognised in other comprehensive income. In such cases the impairment loss is deducted from other comprehensive income to the extent the revaluation gain was recognised.

The Group performs assessment of indicators whether indicators of impairment loss still exist or decreased on each reporting dates. If such indicator exists the Group assesses the recoverable amount of the asset or cash generating component. Previously recorded impairment losses recovered only if the changes in applied estimate of the recoverability of the asset, since most recent impairment loss recorded. The recovery is limited to the book have not exceeding its recoverable amount, as well as not exceeding book value less depreciation, which would be charged if such impairment loss would not be recorded. This recovery of loss is included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

Cash

Cash in the consolidated statement of financial position include the cash in banks and cash on hands.

Provisions

Provision are recorded if the Group has current liabilities (legal or constructive), as a result of the past events, with a probable outflow economic benefits required to settle liability, and such liability can be reliably measured. If the Group expects to recover all or part of the provisions, e.g. under insurance contracts, the recovery is recorded as a separate asset, but only when such recovery inflow is not doubted. Expenses, related to the provision, are added to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income less recovery.

Pensions and another employee benefits post-employment benefits

The Group performs payments to social fund in accordance with pension scheme of the Republic of Tajikistan. The payments to social fund are fixed. The Group will not have any further legal or constructive liabilities to the Fund in relation to the retirement benefits if Fund will not have sufficient resources to perform payments to employees for services performed in current and previous years.

The Group performs fixed payments to the State social fund amounting to 25% of salaries of the employees and recorded in the period as incurred. The Group does not have any other pension or other schemes or liabilities to perform pension payments to its employees.

Application of new and revised international financial reporting standards

The Group has adopted the following new or revised standards and interpretations issued by International Accounting Standards Board and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (the “IFRIC”) which became effective for the Group’s financial statement for the year ended December 31, 2019:

• IFRS 16 “Leases” provides a comprehensive model for the identification of lease arrangements and their treatment in the financial statements of both lessees and lessors.

• IFRIC 23 “Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments” addresses the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12 “Income taxes”.

• Amendments to IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” clarifies that an entity applies IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” to long-term interests in an associate or joint venture that form part of the net investment in the associate or joint venture but to which the equity method is not applied.

• Amendments to IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” change the existing requirements in IFRS 9 regarding termination rights in order to allow measurement at amortised cost (or, depending on the business model, at fair value through other comprehensive income) even in the case of negative compensation payments.

• Amendments to IAS 19 “Employee benefits” clarify the following: if a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement occurs, it is now mandatory that the current service cost and the net interest for the period after the remeasurement are determined using the assumptions used for the remeasurement; in addition, amendments have been included to clarify the effect of a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement on the requirements regarding the asset ceiling.

• The amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” clarify that when an entity obtains control of a business that is a joint operation, it remeasures previously held interests in that business.

• The amendments to IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements” clarify that when an entity obtains joint control of a business that is a joint operation, the entity does not remeasure previously held interests in that business.

• The amendments to IAS 23 “Borrowing costs” clarify that if any specific borrowing remains outstanding after the related asset is ready for its intended use or sale, that borrowing becomes part of the funds that an entity borrows generally when calculating the capitalisation rate on general borrowings.

The adoption of the new or revised standards did not have significant effect on the financial position or performance of the Group.

New and revised IFRSs in issue but not yet effective

A number of new standards, additions to standards and interpretations have not yet entered into force as of December 31, 2019 and have not been applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements. Of these innovations, the following standards and amendments have the potential to have an impact on the financial and business operations of the Group.

The Group plans to begin applying these standards and amendments from the moment they take effect. Analysis of the possible impact of the new standards on the consolidated financial statements of the Group has not yet been conducted.

At the date of authorization of this financial information, the following new standards and interpretations were in issue, but not mandatorily yet effective, and which the Group has not early adopted:

• The amendments to IFRS 3 “Business Combinations” clarify and distinguish between accounting methods to be used when the investor acquires a business or when the investor acquires just a group of assets.

• Amendments to IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements” and IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” clarify that information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.

The Group intends to adopt these new standards and amendments, if applicable, when they become effective.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICY

The Group makes estimates and assumptions that affect within the next financial period the amounts of assets and liabilities recognized in consolidated financial statements. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on management's experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management also makes certain judgments, apart from those involving estimations, in the process of applying the accounting policies. Judgments that have the most significant impact on the figures recorded in the consolidated financial statements and estimates that can cause a significant adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial period include:

Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions at the end of the reporting period that affect the amounts of revenue, costs, assets and liabilities, presented in statements. However, uncertainty of these assumptions and estimates could result outcomes, that could require in future material adjustments of book value of asset or liability in respect of which such assumptions and estimates are made.

Judgments

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policy, management has used the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions about the future and other key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the reporting date, which may cause significant adjustments of the carrying value of assets and liabilities during the next financial year, are discussed below. Assumptions and estimates are based on the Group’s source data, which it had at the time of preparation of the consolidated financial statements. However, current circumstances and assumptions regarding the future are subject to change due to market changes or circumstances beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions as they occur.

Impairment of non-financial assets

Impairment occurs when the carrying amount of an asset or the cash-generating unit, exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The fair value less costs to sell is based on available information on commercial deals of sales of similar assets or observable market prices less incremental costs incurred in connection with the disposal of an asset. The calculation of value in use is based on a discounted cash flow model. Cash flows are taken from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activity, in conducting of which the Group does not have obligations or significant investment in future, which will improve the asset tested for impairment of cash generating unit. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used in the discounted cash flow model, and also to the expected cash inflows and the growth rate, used for extrapolation. More information about the key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount of the various units, generating cash, including sensitivity analysis, is provided in Note 31.

The fair value offinancial instruments

In cases when the fair value of financial instruments and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow model. As a source data for these models is used information from observable markets, but in those cases where this is not feasible, a certain proportion of judgment is required to determine fair value. The judgments include considerations of such data as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the fair value of financial instruments, recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

Allowance for doubtful debts, advances paid, in-vestments and allowance for cost decrease to net realizable value inventories

Determining the direction of allowance for doubtful debts, advances paid, investments and allowance for cost decrease to net realizable value inventories requires management to make assumptions based on the best estimates of the Group’s ability to realize these assets. As a result of the general changes in the economy or other similar circumstances after the reporting date, management may draw conclusions that may differ from the finding made in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment

The Group estimates the useful lives of fixed assets at each reporting date. The estimation of the useful lives of fixed assets depends on factors such as economical use, repair and customer service programs, technological progress and other business conditions. Management’s assessment ofthe useful lives of fixed assets reflects the relevant information available to management as at the date the consolidated financial statements.

Market rate of borrowings received

The Group uses valuation techniques that include inputs that are not based on observable market date to estimate the fair value of non-current borrowings. Borrowings are discounted at a rate of 4.10% per annum as at December 31, 2019 (4.11% as at December 31, 2018), which the Management of the Group has defined as the market rates on non-current borrowings.

Revaluation and impairment of property, plant and equipment

The Property, Plant and Equipment have been revalued using the work of an external valuator. The methodology applied was discounted cash-flow in the absence of comparable assets in the market. The following assumptions were used by the during the revaluation of property, plant and equipment. In the event that any of these assumptions used will not be materialized or the limiting conditions will be realized then impairment loss might be necessary to be recorded in the financial statements to reflect the revised assumptions.

The Group monitors the use of its assets, but because the Group’s sole shareholder is the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan, it is not able to write-off fixed assets without the permission of the State Committee on Investments and Property Management of the Republic of Tajikistan.

Fixed assets received as grant mostly consist of electrical equipment and power transmission devices transferred under the control of the Group by the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan and by electricity consumers - legal entities and individuals of the Republic of Tajikistan. These grants were recognized as deferred income in accordance with IAS 20 “Accounting for government grants and disclosure of government assistance” which is amortized over the useful life of the associated granted assets. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018 amount of deferred income equaled to 120,921 thousand somoni and 129,280 thousand somoni, respectively (Note 15).

The Group borrows funds to acquire assets and capitalizes the interest on assets that meets certain requirements prescribed in IAS 23 “Borrowing costs”. In 2019 and 2018, the Group capitalized 63,618 thousand somoni and 33,042 thousand somoni, respectively, on the cost of construction in progress.

As of December 31, 2019 amount of fully depreciated property and equipment equaled to 474,973 thousand somoni.

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018 Group’s assets were pledged as collateral on borrowings comprised of buildings and constructions, machinery and equipment, other fixed assets, construction in progress and equipment for installation of subsidiary of the Group - Baipaza hydropower station. As at December 31, 2019 and 2018 net book value of Baipaza hydropower station fixed assets equaled to 652,804 thousand somoni and 429,922 thousand somoni, respectively.

21. INCOME TAX

The Group measures and records its current income tax payable and its tax bases in its assets and liabilities in accordance with the tax regulations of the Republic of Tajikistan where the Group operates, which may differ from IFRS. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 on the territory of the Republic of Tajikistan, the income tax rate for production legal entities was 13%, but not less than 1% from gross revenue according to the tax law of the Republic of Tajikistan.

The Group is subject to certain permanent tax differences due to the non-tax deductibility of certain expenses and certain income being treated as non-taxable for tax purposes.

Deferred taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes. Temporary differences as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 relate mostly to different methods of income and expense recognition as well as to temporary differences generated by tax - book bases’ differences for certain assets and liabilities.

28. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

IFRS 13 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction in the principal (or most advantageous) market at the measurement date under current market conditions As no readily available market exists for large part of the Group’s financial instruments, judgment is necessary in arriving at fair value, based on current economic conditions and specific risks attributable to the instrument.

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018 the following methods and assumptions were used by the Group to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate such value:

Cash and cash equivalents - The carrying amount represents their fair value.

Trade and other receivables - The carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of their fair value as the allowance for estimated doubtful amounts is considered a reasonable estimate of the discount required to reflect the impact of credit risk.

Trade and other payables - The carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of their fair value due to their current nature.

Non-current borrowing - The carrying amount is considered a reasonable estimate of their fair value as applied interest rate on non-current borrowings is considered to be a reasonable approximation of the market rate with reference to loans with similar credit risk level and maturity period at the reporting date.

Fair values are primarily determined using quoted market prices or standard pricing models using observable market inputs where available and are presented to reflect the expected gross future cash in/outflows. The Group classifies the fair values of its financial instruments into a three level hierarchy based on the degree of the source and observability of the inputs that are used to derive the fair value of the financial asset or liability as follows:

Level 1 Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can assess at the measurement date; or

Level 2 Inputs other than quoted inputs included in Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly; or

Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities, requiring the Group to make market based assumptions.

Level 1 classifications primarily include financial assets and financial liabilities that are exchange traded, whereas

Level 2 classifications primarily include financial assets and financial liabilities which derive their fair value primarily from exchange quotes and readily observable quotes.

Level 3 classifications primarily include financial assets and financial liabilities which derive their fair value predominately from models that use applicable market based estimates surrounding location, quality and credit differentials. In circumstances where the Group cannot verify fair value with observable market inputs (Level 3 fair values), it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value.

It is the Group’s policy that transactions and activities in trade related financial instruments be concluded under master netting agreements or long form confirmations to enable balances due to/from a common counterparty to be offset in the event of default, insolvency or bankruptcy by the counterparty.

The following tables show the fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities as at December 31, 2019 and 2018. Other assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are cash and cash equivalents. There are no nonrecurring fair value measurements.

29. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENT ASSETS

(a) Social commitments and pensions and retirement plans

The Group incurs expenses on development and maintenance of social objects and welfare of its employees and other social needs.

Employees of the Group receive pension benefits in accordance with the laws and regulations of the Republic of Tajikistan.

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Group was not liable for any supplementary pensions, post- retirement health care, insurance benefits, or retirement indemnities to its current or former employees.

(b) Insurance

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Group had no insurance coverage in respect of its assets, activities and its public obligations and other risks, to be insured. Since the absence of insurance does not mean reducing the cost of the assets or incurrence of liabilities, provisions were not considered in the consolidated financial statements for uncertain losses.

(c) Environment protection issues

Official laws of the Republic of Tajikistan #58 “On environment protection” dated June 15, 2004, and #228 “On air protection” dated February 1, 1996, are aimed to protect atmosphere from pollution and established maximum permissible level of emission of harmful substances.

Integrated control and permits for allowable emissions of pollutants are conducted in accordance with the article 11 “Basic requirements for the valuation of atmosphere air quality” and article 13 “Measurement and control of emissions into the atmosphere”.

The Republic of Tajikistan has acceded to the Kyoto Protocol and ratified it on November 22, 2008. After the ratification of Kyoto Protocol coordination is assigned to Committee for environmental protection under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan.

Legislation for environmental protection in the Republic of Tajikistan is in the process of development and government agencies continuously revise standards for the application of such legislation. The Group periodically evaluates its obligations under environmental regulations. As obligations are defined, they are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements. Potential liabilities that may arise as a result of changes in existing regulations, litigation in civil cases or legislation cannot be estimated with any certainty, but could be significant. Under the existing system of control and penalties for non-compliance with the existing legislation, Management believes that at the moment there are no significant liabilities related to environmental damage.

(d) Litigation

In Management’s opinion at present time there are no any pending legal proceedings or other claims, which could have a material adverse effect on the financial results and financial position of the Group, or which would not be accrued or disclosed in these consolidated financial statements.

(e) Technical risks

Reconstruction of the electric power industry is dictated by the current situation in the energy sector due to the rapid deterioration of the technical condition of the fixed assets of the Group. Implementation of current and capital repairs is not enough; new construction, rehabilitation, reconstruction and technical re- equipment are required in accordance with technical progress. Thus, technical risk of impairment is high.

(f) Capital commitments

As at December 31, 2019 and 2018 the Group’s capital commitments to continue financing the constructions and maintenance of infrastructure for generation, transmission and distribution of the electricity in the Republic of Tajikistan amounted to 1,456,763 thousand somoni and 583,433 thousand somoni respectively.

(g) Liabilities with counterparties

The Group’s trade and other accounts payable include a liability towards the supplier HPP “Sangtuda 2”. HPP “Sangtuda-2” charged penalties for the Group's accounts payable due to overdue payment for electricity. The Management of the Group believes that the amount of penalties will not be claimed by the HPP “Sangtuda-2” and probability of payment of penalties is remote.

30. TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

In considering each possible related party relationship, attention is directed to the substance of the relationship, and not merely the legal form.

Transactions with state companies

The Group applies the exemption from the application of IAS 24, disclosures in respect of related party transactions and balances and transactions, including commitments, because it is associated with the state organization. Accordingly, the Group discloses the nature of their relationship with the Government, the description and the amount of each operation that is significant, individually or in the aggregate.

The following amounts in the consolidated statement of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 arose from transactions with related parties:

Market risk

Market risk is a risk of possible fluctuations of the fair value of future cash flows as a result of changes in market prices. Market prices include four types of risks: interest rate risk, currency risk, risk of price change and other price risks. Financial instruments, which are subject to market risk, include loans, deposits, investments held for sale.

Sensitivity analysis as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 is presented below.

Sensitivity analysis was prepared on the basis of assumption that amount of net debt and part of financial instruments in foreign currency is constant.

Analysis does not include effect of changes of market variables on book value of pensions and other liabilities on employee’s termination, provisions and also nonfinancial assets and liabilities of subdivisions.

In preparing sensitivity analysis the following assumptions were made:

Sensitivity of consolidated statement of financial position is associated with debt instruments held for sale.

Sensitivity of relevant account of consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is the effect of proposed changes of relevant market risks.

The analysis was made on the basis of financial assets and financial liabilities existing as at December 31, 2019 and 2018.

Risk of price changes

Risk of price changes is the risk or uncertainty arising from possible changes in market prices and their impact on future performance and results of operational activity of the Group.

Price decrease can lead to decrease of net income and cash flows. Maintaining low prices for an extended period of time can lead to a reduction in activity and may ultimately have an impact on the Group’s ability to fulfill its obligations under the contracts. Management estimates the decline as hardly probable and Group does not use derivative instruments to reduce its exposure to this risk.

The Group enters into non-current contracts for products supply on standard commercial terms; thereby the Group is not exposed to the risk of loss of revenue due to price increase on the market.

Currency risk

Currency risk is a risk that the fair value of future cash flows of financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency exchange rates is stipulated primarily due to Group’s operating activity (when sales or expenses are denominated in currencies, other than the functional currency of the Group), as well as the Group’s net investment in foreign subsidiaries.

The Group exports its production to Afghanistan and countries of Central Asia, acquires equipment and materials from overseas suppliers and attracts a substantial amount of non-current loans in foreign currency. Significant concentration of currency risk lies in loans denominated in various foreign currencies (mainly in US dollars). In accordance with the Group’s accounting policy, these loans were translated to somoni using exchange rates prevailed at the reporting date. However, future changes in exchange rate of somoni to US dollar are unpredictable. Future changes in exchange rates may affect the carrying value of liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

There are strict restrictions and controls in respect of Somoni conversion into other currencies. Currently Somoni is not convertible currency outside the Republic of Tajikistan.

Currency risk sensitivity

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in the USD and XDR against the TJS for 2019 and 2018, respectively. These rates are the sensitivity rates used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the possible change in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the period for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. The sensitivity analysis includes external loans as well as loans to foreign operations within the Group where the denomination of the loan is in a currency other than the currency of the lender or the borrower.

The Group is not exposed to interest rate risk as the amount of the Group’s borrowings raised with floating rate is insignificant.

Credit risk

Credit risk is a risk that the Group will incur financial loss because the counterparties fail to meet their obligations under financial instrument or client contract. The Group is exposed to credit risk related to its operating activity (primarily, trade receivables).

Trade accounts receivable

Credit risk management associated with customers is performed by each subsidiary in accordance with the policies, procedures and control system established by the Group in respect of credit risk management associated with customers. Regular monitoring of outstanding accounts receivable is carried out.

Financial assets of the Group, which are potentially subject to credit risk, compose primarily of trade receivables.

In 2019 the percentage of money collection for the sold energy in the whole group was 85.5% (accrued - 3,700,973 thousand somoni VAT inclusive, paid - 3,163,839 thousand somoni), including Tajik Aluminium Plant 100.2% (accrued - 255,926 thousand somoni VAT inclusive, paid - 256,623 thousand somoni).

In 2018 the percentage of money collection for the sold energy in the whole group was 86% (accrued - 3,078,651 thousand somoni VAT inclusive, paid - 2,633,181 thousand somoni), including Tajik

Aluminium Plant 104% (accrued - 230,541 thousand somoni VAT inclusive, paid - 238,829 thousand somoni).

Approximately 8% of all sales in 2019 (7% in 2018) were supplied to the largest industrial consumer Tajik Aluminum Plant (TALCO), which is currently controlled by the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan.

The carrying value of accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful debt, represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.

Need for impairment recognition is reviewed at each reporting date, individually for each large entity. In addition, the amounts due from a large number of individuals are grouped into homogeneous groups and assessed for impairment on a collective basis. The calculations are based on the information on actual losses incurred in the past. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is presented by the book value of each class of financial assets. The Group does not have the property received as security for the debt owed to it.

Although collection of receivables could be influenced by economic factors, Management believes that there is no substantial risk of loss beyond the provision for impairment of receivables.

Liquidity risk

Group exercises control over the risk of shortage of funds using a recurring liquidity planning tool.

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility through the use of bank loans and payment by installments contracts.

The Group has access to financing in sufficient amounts and terms of loans to be paid within 12 months may be postponed to a later date by agreement with current creditors.

The following table summarizes the contractual undiscounted payments on financial liabilities of the Group by maturity.

32. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On January 2, 2020, overdraft No. 301219 / 0174-01 of December 30, 2019 from SSB “Amonatbank” in the amount of 150 million somoni was repaid.

On May 5, 2020, the Republic of Tajikistan (the grant recipient) and the International Development Association signed a special loan agreement for a financial rehabilitation program for an energy company in the amount of ninety-seven million two hundred thousand (97,200,000) special drawing rights. The deadline for the financing agreement is August 30, 2026, or another date that can be agreed between the Grantee and the Association. The agreement contains special requirements that must be fulfilled by the Company (OSHC Barqi Tojik) to receive these funds specified in the agreement

The coronavirus outbreak progressed rapidly in 2020 with significant impact on businesses and the population. The measures taken to contain the virus have impacted economic activity, which in turn has implications for the Group's financial statements. Measures to prevent transmission of the virus include restricting the movement of people, limiting flights and other travel, temporarily closing businesses and educational institutions, and canceling events. This situation will also begin to affect supply chains and production of goods throughout the Republic of Tajikistan, leading to a decrease in economic activity, a decrease in demand for many goods and services, including electro energy. This situation could adversely affect the financial position and results of operations of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2020.

At the date of the issue of the consolidated financial statements of the Group there were no events, except described above that must be disclosed in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 10 “Events after the reporting period”.
