Standards and amendments to standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board which have not been endorsed by the European Union and have not entered into force yet

  • Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of financial liabilities as current or non-current to enter into force on 1 January 2023

In accordance with the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements, liabilities are classified as noncurrent if the entity has a significant right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the end of the reporting period. The expectations of the entity do not affect the classification.

As at the balance sheet day, the Company has revolving credit agreements under which the drawing period of the credit tranches is equal to or less than 1 year, while the period of availability of funding exceeds 12 months from the balance sheet date and the Company has the right to defer the liability by at least 12 months from the end of the reporting period. In the case of these credit agreements, the Company classifies the tranches as either a non-current liability or a current liability in accordance with the expectation regarding the repayment of the liability. As at 31 December 2020, taking into account the intentions of the Company, tranches with an aggregate nominal value of PLN 1,000,000 thousand are classified as current liabilities. Under the agreement, the Company has the right to defer the settlement of a liability for a period exceeding 12 months, thus in accordance with the amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements the said liability would be classified as a non-current liability.
