NOTE:

1) EBITDA and consolidated profit for the comparable period January-Аugust 2018 is decreased by BGN 577 thousand. The effect represents accrued revenue for expected state subsidy for the recycling of scrap batteries on the territory of the Republic of Serbia for the first seven months of 2018, which revenue was subsequently reversed at the end of 2018 due to a change of accounting policy applied for reporting state subsidies for recycling of scrap batteries.

2) EBITDA and consolidated profit for the comparable period January-Аugust 2018 is decreased by BGN 245 thousand. The effect represents a correction in respect materials used during the reporting period but recorded in the subsequent period in Monbat Recycling Romania.

3) EBITDA and consolidated profit for the comparable period January-Аugust 2018 is decreased by BGN 504 thousand. The effect represents expenses in connection with the terminated transaction for the acquisition of a controlling interest in the ASSAD Group in Tunisia, which were initially capitalized to be included as part of the value of the expected acquisition cost.

4) EBITDA and consolidated profit for the comparable period January-August 2018 is decreased by BGN 593 thousand. The decrease represents the effect of the pro-rata discounts with respect to sales volumes of batteries expected to be realized by the end of the year which is related to the first time adoption of IFRS 15.

The adjustments above do not affect the annual result for 2018 but have an effect only on the comparable periods of January-Аugust 2018 and September-December 2018.
