1.1.8. Evaluation of the company's activity on risk management

By nature of the activities carried out, the company is exposed to various risks, which include: currency risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, credit risk.

The currency risk: The Company is exposed to fluctuations in the exchange rate for the cash, receivables and liabilities entered in other currencies, mainly USD and Euro.

The company, depending on its possibilities, at a certain time, using different currencies, buys the respective currencies that it needs to complete the necessary import payments from different suppliers. The risk of exchange rate changes did not have a significant impact in 2021, despite a sharp deterioration of the exchange rates RON / euro and RON / USD, thanks to an active management and monitoring of the situation.

The Company did not use derivative financial instruments for protection against currency fluctuations.

The interest rate risk: The operating cash flows of the company are not affected by movements of the interest rate on the banking market, since currently the company  uses a credit line that provides the issuance of bank guarantee letters necessary for commercial contracts and financing of production, where appropriate.

The liquidity risk (cash-flow): The company's management has applied and applies a prudent liquidity risk management, pursuing continuously the maintainance of sufficient cash in order to be able to meet all due payments.

The finance facility provided by the company's credit line reduces the liquidity risk.

The credit risk: The company carries out commercial relations only with certified third parties, which justifies the financing on credit. The company's policy is that all customers wishing to conduct business relationships under credit conditions should be subject to verification procedures. Moreover, debt balances are permanently monitored, resulting in a negligible exposure of the company to the risk of non-receivable debts.

The management of the company, depending on the current situation on the market, made arrangements for continuation of work in terms of profitability. It has been pursuing and is further pursuing the minimization of the potential negative effects associated with the risk factors presented on the financial performance of the company.

The Company conducts business relationships only with recognized third parties.

As shown in the Internal Regulation of the Board of Directors of IAR SA, the company has established an effective framework for risk identifying, monitoring and management.

A risk management system, which is described in chapter 3 - The corporate governance statement is implemented in the company.

The Company is not subject to any patrimonial legal claims.

1.1.9. Elements of perspective on the company's activity

1.1.9.a Presentation and analysis of trends, items, events or uncertainty factors that affect or could affect the company's liquidity compared to the same period last year

IAR S.A. intends to provide maintenance, repairs and overhauls for the helicopter fleets IAR 316B Alouette III and IAR 330 PUMA owned by internal beneficiaries, as well as upgrade works according to the requirements of the beneficiaries, having concluded a series of framework agreements, as follows:

- Framework Agreement with the Air Force Major for the major overhaul of IAR 330 PUMA NATO helicopters - 2021-2024

- Framework Agreement concluded with the General Staff of the Naval Forces for the major overhaul of IAR 330 PUMA NAVAL helicopters, 2020-2023

- Helicopter maintenance contracts with external partners for PUMA SM helicopters

Running these agreements, in the following years the company IAR is able to load their production capacities and those of its authorized subcontractors: Turbomecanica SA Bucharest, Aerostar SA Bacau, Aerotech SA Bucharest and Aerofina SA Bucharest.

As arises from the action program which puts into practice the development strategy of the national security industry in the aeronautic field:

- IAR S.A. will be involved in the national program for the purchase of helicopters by the institutions of the National Defense System / other budgetary institutions - a program for the next 10 - 20 years,

- IAR S.A. will take the necessary measures to become a national center for helicopters maintenance as per the Law 232 / 2016.

All measures contained in this program will influence positively, significantly, the dynamics of IAR S.A. on medium and long term.

In parallel, IAR S.A. is looking for orders from other aviation companies, including participation in covering their offset obligations.

However, should IAR SA become involved in the series manufacturing program of some subassemblies and electrical wiring for the H215 helicopters that are to be manufactured by Airbus Helicopters in its new investment on the IAR Brasov platform, the policies, strategies, activities and operations of the company will be significantly influenced.

In the future, IAR S.A. will continue to provide facilities and services for all economic agents within the Aeronautical Technology Park Brasov.

Also, IAR S.A. may initiate/participate in other programs within the Aeronautic Technology Park, in connection with starting the construction project of the International Airport Ghimbav - Brasov, such as the development of airport facilities, providing heliport services, involvement in programs for maintenance/upgrading of airplanes, assets rental.

The evolution of the current liquidity and immediate liquidity indicators over the last 4 years is as follows:

1.1.9.b The presentation and analysis of the effects of capital expenditures, current or anticipated, on the financial statements of IAR SA  compared to the same period last year – not applicable

1.1.9.c The presentation and analysis of the events, transactions, economic changes that significantly affect revenues from the core activity

Products and services that the company capitalizes both locally and for export are meant mainly for budgetary users who, basically, are part of the national systems of safety and security forces.

For this reason, the number of agreements depends heavily on the beneficiaries’ needs, especially on the budgetary allocations related thereto.

Increasing the budget allocations for the Ministry of Defense at 2% of GDP will have positive effects on IAR SA, by increasing its activity and hence the company's annual business/net income.

In addition, implementing the development strategy of the security industry will significantly affect revenues from the core activity of the company.

The conclusion of PUMA SM maintenance contracts will lead to a significant increase in export volume in the coming years.

If IAR SA becomes involved in the series manufacturing program of the helicopters that are to be purchased by Romania, the policies, strategies, activities and operations of the company will be significantly influenced.

2.          TANGIBLE ASSETS OF THE COMPANY IAR S.A.

2.1        The location and characteristics of the main production capacities owned by IAR S.A.

Currently, IAR S.A.'s assets are initially placed into 8 buildings, distinctively highlighted in the patrimonial registers of the company.

4.2. ELEMENTS OF FINANCIAL-ACCOUNTING MANAGEMENT

In 2021 the financial and economic activity of the IAR S.A. was coordinated by the Commercial and Economic Executive Manager of the company.

The economic department is operated by specialized personnel with secondary and higher education.

The entire financial-accounting activity took into account the following principles:

• the principle of prudence;

• the principle of consistency;

• the principle of going concern;

• the principle of matching;

• the principle of opening balance;

• the principle of offsetting;

• the principle of substance over form.

The general accounting principles underlying the accounting registration of operations, transactions, assessment of items presented in the annual financial statements and the financial statements are as follows:

The principle of prudence according to which assets and income shall not be overstated and liabilities and expenses understated. In the individual situation of the global result only the profit made on the date of the financial statements may be included.

In the financial statements all debts incurred in the current financial year or in the previous year are highlighted, even if they become obvious only between the date of the balance sheet and the date of their establishment.

In the financial statements all liabilities and potential losses arising in the current financial year or in the previous financial year are highlighted even if they become obvious only between the date of the balance sheet and the date of their establishment.

To this end the possible provisions, and liabilities resulting from a contract are also being considered. They shall stand in the balance sheet or in the explanatory notes by debt type.

All depreciation is taken into account, whether the result of the period is a loss or profit. The registration of adjustments for depreciation or value loss is made at the expense of expense accounts, regardless of their impact on the statement of the global result.

The principle of consistency: The assessment methods and accounting policies are applied consistently from one financial year to another.

The principle of going concern: The Company continues to operate normally, without going into liquidation or significant reduction of activity.

The principle of matching: the income and expenditure relating to the financial year are highlighted, regardless of the income collection date or the expenditure payment date.

The principle of valuation of asset and liability items according to which, components of assets and liabilities must be valued separately.

The principle of no offsetting: The assets and liabilities, income and expenses are not offset unless offsetting is required or permitted by a standard or an interpretation.

The principle of substance over form according to which, the presentation of the amounts in the balance sheet and in the profit and loss account is taken based on the economic substance of the reported transaction or arrangement, and not only their legal form. 

The IAR S.A. accounting, as the main instrument of knowledge, management and control of assets, provides chronological and systematic registration, processing and storage of information on the property situation, its outcomes, both for internal use and for the business relations with the customers, banks and tax authorities, etc..

The types of management are organized both at central and at the manufacturing divisions, by monthly compiling with the trial balance, which is facing the company’s synthetic records.

In addition, the financial-accounting department is organized in order to obtain a process established to achieve high quality financial reporting. The roles and responsibilities are specifically defined and a control process is implemented in order to ensure fairness and accuracy of financial reporting process.

The accounting income is made based on the kinds of income and expenditure according to their nature.

Monthly, to verify the correct recording in the accounting of property transactions, the synthetic balance checking is prepared, which on its turn is based on analytical balances on the accounts.
