In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements are prepared in all material respects in accordance with the requirements of the National Accounting Principle (Standard) 25 “Simplified Financial Statements”, other National Ac- ‘counting Principles (Standards) (hereinafter ~ NAP(S)), as well as in accordance with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine “On Accounting and Financial Reporting in Ukraine” dated July 16, 1999 No. 996-XIV on the preparation of financial statements (hereinafter ~ Law on Accounting and Financial Reporting}. Basis for Opinion ‘We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are set out in the “Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Association in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (ESBA Code) and the ethical requirements applied in Ukraine to our audit Of the financial statements; and we have fulfilled other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements ‘and IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. De SMe We draw attention to Note 2 “Basis of presentation of the financial statements” to the financial statements, which indicates that the Association's management has considered the financial position, current plans, the results of the ‘Association’ activities and access to financial resources and the possible impact of the military aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine and the introduction of martial law in Ukraine in connection with it. To ensure financial liquidity, the Association concluded an agreement to receive a budget subsidy from the Federal Ministry of Economy ‘and a new grant agreement with a donor organization (Agency for Economic Affairs and Development AWE) to finance 4 project related to the provision of services, in particular in the field of holding tenders from international financial organizations through Ukrainian partner ministries and agencies, providing up-to-date information on events in Ukraine related to reconstruction and tenders, consulting companies on economic potential and development in Ukraine. De- spite the material uncertainty related with the war in Ukraine, management continues to take measures to minimize ‘the impact on the Association and therefore believes that the use of the going concern assumption for the preparation Of these financial statements is appropriate. These events and conditions indicate, that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Association’ abilty to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified of this matter. CIs ‘We draw attention that this reports intended solely for presentation to the Association's General Meeting of Members ‘and management and must not be distributed or used for any other purpose.

The financial statements of the Association are prepared as of December 31, 2023. The financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were approved by the Chairman of the Board of the ‘Association on January 30, 2024. Going concern assumptions On February 24, 2022, the Russian military invasion of Ukraine took place, which continues to this day, which is a significant event whose consequences cannot be determined at the moment on the scale of Ukraine. However, the ‘Association continues to work, new positions and @ department (the Department for the Reconstruction of Ukraine} have been created, The Association has received a new project and is working on a larger scale, namely, attracting new members. At the end of 2023, it had 31 temporary members. [As of the end of 2023, the Association management team (partially), including the accounting and financial accounting department, returned to the territory of Ukraine. The Association is provided with all the necessary means for continuous operation and conduct of all statutory activities and economic and financial transactions, including timely payment of salaries to employees and payment of taxes provided for by the current legislation of Ukraine. To ensure the Chamber's financial liquidity, a budget subsidy from the Federal Ministry of Economy for Environmental Protection for 2024 is expected, as well as membership fees, which are also expected in January ~ February 2024. The Association has continuously carried out and is carrying out its statutory activities and economic and financial operations and fulfils its contractual legal obligations in full The Association's management monitors the current situation and takes measures to minimize any negative consequences in order to preserve jobs, continue paying salaries to employees, and carry out its statutory activities, ASSOCIATION “GERMAN-UKRAINIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY” NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SMALL ENTITY for the year ended December 31, 2023 (in thousands of Ukrainian hryvnias) ‘Management has reasonable grounds to believe that the Association has sufficient resources to support its activities for the foreseeable future. The Association has no intention or need to liquidate or significantly reduce the scope of ts activities. The Association has not had any suspension or interruption of its activities, The Association does not conduct business with Russia and has no assets in the territory of the aggressor country. ‘The Association has not faced any cases of restriction of access to funds, seizure or expropriation of assets for the needs of the state. In making this judgment, management considered the financial position, current plans, performance of the Association and access to financial resources. As at 31 December 2023, the Association entered into an agreement to receive a budget subsidy from the Federal Ministry of Economy in the amount of EUR 930,000 and a new grant agreement with a donor organization (AWE Agency for Economic Affairs and Development) in the amount of EUR 71,500 to finance a project related to the provision of services, in particular in the field of holding tenders from international financial organizations through Ukrainian partner ministries and agencies, providing up-to-date information on events in Ukraine related to reconstruction and tenders, advising companies on. Despite the significant uncertainties related to the war in Ukraine, management continues to take measures to minimize ‘the impact on the Association and therefore believes that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate in preparing these financial statements, There is significant uncertainty regarding some of the circumstances described above that may cause a significant change in the Association’s ability to continue as a going concern. Functional currency and presentation currency of the financial statements’ data all The functional currency of the Association is the Ukrainian hryvnia, which is the national currency of Ukt financial information in these financial statements is rounded to the nearest thousand UAH with one decimal place. For the purpose of forming the company’s financial reporting indicators, the following materiality criteria shall be established: * For Balance Sheet items ~0.5% of the Balance Sheet total. + For the items of the Statement of Financial Performance ~ 0.5% of the amount of expenses. Reporting period ‘The reporting period includes 12 months: from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, 3, Principles of accounting policy 3.1. Basics of evaluation of financial reporti The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Due to the inherent uncertainty in making such estimates, actual results reported in future periods may differ from those estimates. The Association's accounting policies are based on the following principles: = enterprise autonomy, under which each enterprise is treated as a legal entity separate from its owners; therefore, the personal property and liabilities of the owners should not be reflected in the financial statements of the enterprise; ~ going concern basis, which involves the measurement of assets and liabilities of an entity on the assumption that it will continue in operation; = periodicity, which implies the division of an enterprise's activities into certain periods for the purpose of preparing financial statements; + historical (actual) cost, which determines the priority of asset valuation based on the costs of their production and acquisition; + accrual and matching of income and expenses, according to which, in order to determine the financial result of the reporting period, the income of the reporting period should be compared with the expenses incurred to obtain this. income, In this case, income and expenses are recognized in accounting and reporting when they occur, regardless of the time of receipt and payment of money; = full disclosure, which requires that financial statements contain all information about the actual and potential consequences of transactions and events that may affect decisions based on them; = consistency, which implies that the company applies the chosen accounting policy on a consistent basis (from year ASSOCIATION “GERMAN-UKRAINIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY” NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SMALL ENTITY for the year ended December 31, 2023 (in thousands of Ukrainian hryvnias) to year). Changes in accounting policies must be justified and disclosed in the financial statements; ~ prudence, according to which the valuation methods used in accounting should prevent the understatement of liabilities and expenses and overstatement of assets and income of the enterprise; substance over form, whereby transactions should be accounted for in accordance with their substance and not only based on their legal form; = a single monetary measure, which involves measuring and summarizing all transactions of an enterprise in its financial statements in a single monetary unit. For the purposes of accounting and financial reporting, assets and liabilities are recognized and recorded at the lower of cost and fair value: the cost of their acquisition or occurrence ~ at historical or cost: assets at the amount of cash, cash equivalents or other forms of compensation paid for them; * liabilities ~ at the amount of funds mobilized in exchange for such liabilities or the amount of funds or their equivalents to be paid to settle the liabilities in the ordinary course of business; © fair (market) value: assets ~ at the amount that would have to be paid to acquire (exchange) such assets; liabilities ~ at the amount that can be settled as a result of a transaction between knowledgeable, willing and independent parties; ‘subsidiaries — using the equity method, ‘A subsidiary is an entity controlled by another entity (known as a parent), Financial investments in subsidiaries at the balance sheet date are carried at cost using the equity method. Financial investments accounted for using the equity method are carried at the balance sheet date at cost, which is determined by taking into account changes in the total equity of the investee, other than those resulting from transactions between the investor and the investee, The carrying amount of financial investments is increased (decreased) by the amount representing the investor's share of net profit (loss) of the investee for the reporting period, with this amount included in equity income (loss). At the same time, the carrying amount of financial investments is reduced by the amount of recognized dividends from the Investee. Financial investments are accounted for using the equity method as of the last day of the month in which the investee meets the definition of a subsidiaty. The use of the equity method of accounting for financial investments ceases on the last day of the month in which the investee does not meet the criteria of an associate or subsidiary. ‘The criteria for recognizing and measuring specific types of assets and liabilities, income and expenses are described in the following notes, Cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents are assets that are readily convertible to cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and balances on hand with banks in Ukraine, Property, plant and equipment. Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost and carried in the Balance Sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation, The carrying amount of property, plant and equipment is revalued based on the results of an annual inventory if the residual value of an item differs from its fair value at the balance sheet date by ‘more than 50%. ‘The Association applies the straight-line method of depreciation using useful lives. The useful lives of the main types of property, plant and equipment are as follows: Types of objects ‘Useful ife (years) Non-capital structures 20 Buildings and structures 5 Machinery and equipment Vehicles 5 Tools, appliances, inventory furnture) 3 Other property, plant and equipment FT Property, plant and equipment are non-current tangible assets that are separate objects worth more than UAH 20,000 ASSOCIATION “GERMAN-UKRAINIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY” NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SMALL ENTITY for the year ended December 31, 2023 (in thousands of Ukrainian hryvnias) ‘with a useful life of more than one year. Low-value non-current assets include items with a value not exceeding UAH 20,000.00 (twenty thousand) and with an expected useful life of more than one year. When they are transferred to operation, depreciation is charged in the first month of use of 100% of their value. The residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year-end. The effect of any changes from previous estimates is accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate. Impairment of usefulness ‘At the date of the annual balance sheet, the Association assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired and, if so, determines the asset's recoverable amount. The following indicators may indicate that an asset is impaired: a decrease in the market value of the asset during the reporting period by a significantly greater amount than expected; = obsolescence or physical damage to the asset; + significant adverse changes in the technological, market, economic or legal environment in which the company operates that occurred during the reporting period or are expected to occur in the near future; = excess of the book value of the company’s net assets over their market value; = significant changes in the way the asset is used during the reporting petiod or such expected changes in the next period that adversely affect the company’s operations; other evidence that the asset’s performance is or will be worse than expected. any indication exists that an asset is impaired, the Association determines the asset’s recoverable amount. Regardless of whether there is an indication of impairment, the organization determines the recoverable amount of goodwill, as well as intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not used as of the date of the annual balance sheet. Intangible assets, Intangible assets are recognized at cost, which consists of their acquisition price and other costs incurred to make them available for use, and are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis. ‘The Association has established the following useful lives for intangible assets: Name of the group Usefulife (years) The rights to use programs fer computer equloment, to various databases, -. other software eae Other intangible assets In accordance with the egal documents Inventory and low-value, non-expendable items Inventories include assets held for consumption in the course of operating activities with a useful life of up to one year. The unit of accounting for inventories is their name or a homogeneous group (type). Purchased (received) or produced inventories are credited to the balance sheet of the enterprise/institution at cost Upon disposal, inventories are valued using the FIFO method, As of the reporting date, inventories are recognized in accounting and reporting at the lower of cost or net realizable value Depreciation on low-value, non-expendable items is charged at 100% upon their transfer for use, with their quantitative accounting at the place of use during the period of actual use. Accounts receivable ‘Accounts receivables are recorded in accounts 36 and 37 by subaccounts. Advances for goods, works and services are recorded for in account 3711. Prepaid expenses ‘Account 39 is used to recognize and record deferred expenses. Revaluation occurs at the end of the month. Account 39, is used to distribute prepayments over several periods (months). Recognition of exchange rate differences Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognized in UAH by translating the foreign currency amount using the ASSOCIATION “GERMAN-UKRAINIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY” NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF SMALL ENTITY for the year ended December 31, 2023 (in thousands of Ukrainian hryvnias) exchange rate at the beginning of the day of the transaction date (the date when assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses are recognized), ‘The amount of a foreign currency advance (prepayment) is translated into hryvnias using the exchange rate at the beginning of the day of the advance date. The amount of the advance received in foreign currency against payments ‘when included in the income of the reporting period is translated into hryvnia at the beginning of the day of the date of receipt of the advance. For determining exchange rate differences at the balance sheet date, the exchange rate at the end of the balance sheet date is used, and for determining exchange rate differences at the date of a business transaction, the exchange rate at the beginning of the transaction date is used. ‘The Association may reflect non-cash transactions in foreign currency in the reporting currency in the amount specified Inthe bank’s documents, taking into account the specifics of the bank's application of the exchange rate on the date of the transaction, if this does not contradict the requirements of tax and customs legislation regarding the application of the exchange rate. ‘Accounting for transactions on receipt of foreign currency funds and sale of foreign currency funds is recorded by correspondence Dr 312 ~Cr 48 ~ receipt of targeted financing at the official NBU exchange rate; Dr 942 - Cr 312 ~to recognize expenses from the negative difference between the NBU official exchange rate and the commercial sale on the date of sale of currency; Dr 312 ~ Cr 711 ~ recording income from the positive difference between the official NBU exchange rate and the commercial exchange rate on the date of sale of currency, Transactions related to the translation of monetary items denominated in foreign currency at the NBU exchange rate at the end of the reporting period are recorded by posting entries: Dr 945 ~ Cr 31 ~ recording of exchange rate losses at the end of the reporting period; Dr 31~Cr 714 ~ recording of exchange rate gains at the end of the reporting period, ‘Specifics of income and expense recognition ‘The Association is a non-profit organization whose activities are not aimed at making a profit.
