procedures for systematic and
rational distribution. 
 
In exchange of assets, revenue (expense) are reported as a result of the exchange transaction to the amount of the
difference between the fair value of the received asset and the carrying value of the exchanged asset. 
 
3.10.2 Finance income and finance costs 
 
Finance income comprises interest income, gains on transactions with own bonds, profits from foreign exchange differences
and others. Finance costs comprise interest expense, losses from foreign exchange differences, bank charges, commissions
and other finance costs. 
 
Borrowing costs, which may be directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset
prior to its being ready for its intended use or sale, and necessarily takes extended period of time, are capitalized in
part of the cost of the asset. All other finance income and costs are recognized in profit or loss for all instruments,
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. 
 
Income for equity interests is recognised when the Group is entitled to receive the income. 
 
Foreign currency gains and losses are reported on a net basis. 
 
3.11. Leases 
 
3.11.1. Determining whether an arrangement contains a lease 
 
In case of agreement, the Group determines whether it is or it contains a lease. Upon occurrence or after reassessing the
agreement that contains a lease, the Group separates payments and other remunerations required by that agreement, such a
lease and those for other elements on the basis of their relative fair values. If the Group concludes that for a finance
lease it is impossible to separate the payments, then an asset and a liability are recognized at an amount equal to the
fair value of the underlying asset. Subsequently the liability is reduced as payments are made and is therefore recognised
as an imputed finance charge on the liability, while using the differential interest rate of the Group. 
 
3.11.2 Leased assets 
 
Leases under which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of an ownership are classified as finance
leases. Upon initial recognition the leased assets are stated at the lower of fair value and the present value of the
minimum lease payments. After initial recognition, the asset is accounted for and in accordance with the accounting policy
applicable to that asset. 
 
Other than these leases are operating leases and there are not recognized in the consolidated statement of the Group's
financial position. 
 
3.11.3. Finance lease 
 
Payments made under operating leases are recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the
lease. Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease payments over the period of the
contract. 
 
Minimum lease payments under finance leases are apportioned between finance charges and reduction of the outstanding
obligations. Finance costs are allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of
interest on the remainder of the debt. 
 
3.11.4 Operating lease 
 
Costs incurred for assets leased under operating lease contracts are recognised in profit or loss under the straight-line
method over the contract term. Lease incentives received is recognised as a reduction of the lease expenses on a
straight-line basis for the term of the lease contract. 
 
Revenue realised from assets under operating lease contracts is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis for
the contract term. Initial costs directly related to agreement conclusion are capitalized in the cost of the asset and are
recognised as expenses on a straight-line basis for the operating lease contract term. 
 
3.11.5 Sale and leaseback 
 
A sale and leaseback transaction involves the sale of an asset and leasing back the same asset. The accounting treatment of
a sale and leaseback transaction depends upon the type of lease and the nature of transaction. 
 
If the leaseback is a finance lease, the transaction is a means of providing finance to the lessee, with the asset as a
security. If under the terms of the lease there are no changes of the rights to use the asset from the seller /lessee
before and after the transaction, it is beyond the scope of IAS 17 Leases and essentially constitutes funding/. In this
case, the proceeds received from the transaction are presented as liabilities on loans and credits in the statement of
financial position of the lessee and direct transaction costs are deferred for the period of the lease. 
 
3.12. Segment Reporting 
 
The information on operating segments in these interim consolidated financial statements is presented in a manner analogous
to operational reports provided by the Group's management, based on which decision are taken in respect of the resources to
be allocated to the segment and the assessment of its results. 
 
4. Determination of fair values 
 
Certain Group's accounting policies and disclosures require the determination of fair value, for both financial and
non-financial assets and liabilities. 
 
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. This includes a valuation
team that has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair
values. 
 
The significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments are reviewed regularly. If third party information, such as
broker quotes or pricing services is used to measure fair values, then the valuation team assesses the evidence obtained
from third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the
fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified. 
 
Significant unobservable inputs and adjustments to estimates are reviewed regularly. If information from third parties such
as quotes from brokers or similar services, are used to estimate the fair values, then evidence obtained from third parties
to support the conclusion that such assessments meet the requirements of IFRS is evaluated, including the level in the
hierarchy fair values in which such assessments should be classified. 
 
Significant valuation issues are reported to the Management of the Group. 
 
4. Determination of fair values (continued) 
 
When measuring the fair value of an asset or liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair
values are categorized into different level in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs in the valuation techniques as
follows. 
 
·    Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. 
 
·    Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). 
 
·    Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs). 
 
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair
value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value
hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. 
 
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at end of the reporting period during which the
change has occurred. 
 
5. Segment Reporting 
 
Based on the operational reporting to the management of the Group serving also as a basis for strategy decisions, the Group
has identified the following operating segments: 
 
·     Wholesale of fuels - wholesale in the country of petroleum products storage facilities owned by the Group; bunker
fuel outside the country; 
 
·     Fuel retail - retail sale of oil and other products in the chain gas stations owned by the Group; servicing of fuel
stations and commercial objects and services; 
 
·     Other activities - transport fuel its own and leased vehicles; rental income and other activities.

Policies for the revenue recognition from intra-group sales and sales to external customers for the purpose of reporting by
segments - do not differ from these that are adopted by the Group - accounting policies for revenue recognition in the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The Group's management evaluated performance of
the segments based on the adjusted indicator EBITDA 1 . The calculation of the adjusted EBITDA does not take into account
the effect of depreciation of assets. Reconciliation between adjusted EBITDA and loss before tax is presented in the
following table:

19.       Granted loans (continued) 
 
In 2014 the Group lend a loan to an unrelated party for a value of 30,420 thousand EU maturing in 2015 and interest rate of
8%. 
 
In January 2014 and under art. 311, Paragraph 1 of the Commercial Code and contract for real stake controlled by November
2013, a company was carried out selling its share in three of its subsidiaries as a result of unmet notarial invitation.
The shares were sold to a licensed investment intermediary to a total cost of BGN 29,850 thousand. 
 
The shares were sold by the firm of the Company for an unrelated person who paid the purchase price after getting a bank
loan. The Company has guaranteed bank credit to be received from the second buyer in the transaction by the first pledge of
cash with the amount of BGN 30,520 thousand. In May 2014, due to expiry of the loan agreement, the bank is cashing
officially outstanding principal and interest on the loan amounted to BGN 30,511 thousand. To sum, the company has a trade
receivable arising from contract for real pledge of shares concluded between the second buyer and the Company. 
 
On February 17, 2014 the Company concluded a loan agreement with the second buyer in transaction. The loan is for an amount
up to 200 thousand for interest on the bank loan. The term of the loan is up to February 5th, 2015 and the agreed interest
rate is 9%. The loan is secured by a pledge of shares of subsidiaries of the borrower. With the release of the subsidiary
of the Group, the loan was written off, due to the loss of control, respectively. 
 
In 2014 the Company has accrued impairment of receivables from the controlling company until November 2013 in loans and
interest due thereon in the amount of BGN 32,063 thousand, due to open insolvency proceedings and the difficult collection
of receivables. 
 
Management has made an analysis of the granted loans, so their fair values could be determined as well as the corresponding
levels in the hierarchy of fair values. The Group's management believes that the values on which its loans are presented in
the consolidated statement of financial position are reasonably approximate of their fair value at March 31, 2015 and
December 31, 2014, categorized in Level 3.
