Macedonia tax position 
 
Macedonian tax legislation does not allow tax consolidation. Lynx Group consolidated current income tax consists of Sasa
and Lynx Europe stand-alone income tax. 
 
According to the provisions of the Macedonian tax law the tax base is the profit generated during the fiscal year increased
for non-deductible expenses and reduced for deductible revenue (i.e. dividends already taxed at the payer), with income tax
at rate of 10%. In line with this Law, Income tax for the year was calculated and recorded in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income. 
 
The tax authorities may at any time inspect the books and records within 5 to 10 years subsequent to the reported tax year,
and may impose additional tax assessments and penalties. The Lynx Group's management is not aware of any circumstances,
which may give rise to a potential material liability in this respect.

(i)         Restoration and decommissioning provision 
 
Under current legislation entities operating mining and related activities in the Republic of Macedonia are required to
take remedial action for the land where such activities have occurred based on a plan approved by the Ministry of the
Environment as well as in accordance with international best practices. After the ceasing of mining activities the Lynx
Group is obliged to restore the mining area and to return in its initial condition. 
 
The Lynx Group has engaged an independent expert to conduct an independent assessment on the environment of the mining
activities of the Lynx Group and to prepare assessment of the restoration and the relevant costs connected with the mine,
tailing site and the mining properties. The calculation was performed on a basis of this independent assessment performed
by an environmental technical expert. 
 
The expected current cash flows were projected over the useful life of the mining sites and discounted to 2016 terms using
a risk free discount rate. The cost of the related assets are depreciated over the useful life of the assets and are
included in property, plant and equipment. If the estimated discount rate used in the calculation had been 10% lower than
management's estimates, the carrying amount of the restoration and decommissioning provision would have been $255,910
higher. 
 
(ii)        Employee retirement benefit provision 
 
All employers in the Republic of Macedonia are obliged to pay employees minimum severance pay on retirement equal to two
months of the average monthly salary applicable in the Country at the time of retirement. 
 
(iii)       Other employee benefits 
 
The Lynx Group is also obliged to pay jubilee anniversary awards that correspond to the total number of years of service of
the employee. Provisions for termination and retirement obligations are recognized in accordance with actuary calculation
in 2016. Basic actuary assumptions are used as follows: 
 
                                                                              2016  
 Discountrate  .........................................................      4.3%  
 Expectedrateofsalaryincrease  .............................................  2.5%  
 
 
Retirement benefit obligation is stated at the present value of expected future payments to employees with respect to
employment retirement pay. The present value of expected future payments to employees is determined by an independent
authorised actuary in accordance with the prevailing rules of actuarial mathematics.
