PRESENT AND ANTICIPATED FINANCIAL POSITION. KEY ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL FIGURES 2.1 Sales Revenues - Principal Products and Services The revenues from sales of goods, services and materials of ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group generated in H1 2013 amounted to 382 843 thousand PLN. Major part of sales revenues was generated by the basic operations of the group, that is electrical installation services. The revenue amounted to 276 361 thousand PLN, which was 72.2% of total sales of the group. The H1 2013 sales dropped by 58 377 thousand PLN compared to H1 2012, which is the decrease by 13.2% on last year s. The first half of 2013 is another fiscal year when the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group recorded further increase in export sales, which also includes supplies of goods and services within the EU. Export sales amounted to 126 529 thousand PLN and were by 7.5% higher than in H1 2012. The group intensified its activity in the existing markets, where the growth of exportes concerned mainly the supply of products and other services to Turkey, the Saudi Arabia and France, and the construction and erection services to Finland and Germany. The group treats as priority all actions aimed at boosting its competitiveness in the foreign markets and increasing exports. The new trade areas included the Republic of South Africa (sale of finished 6

products), Greece (sale of finished products and other services) and Kazakhstan (sale of goods and erection services). Plans include selling to Brazil. The table below presents the structure of net revenue from the sales of products, goods and materials in H1 2013 and H1 2012.

Sales volume of this equipment in H1 2013 was comparable to that of H1 2012. Sales of electricity transmission and distribution equipment accounted for 24.7% of total H1 2013 sales revenue. A substantial part of the products, through internal sales, is transformed to external sales within provided installation services. Maintaining the position of a leading supplier of medium-voltage switchgear on the Polish market is one of the key strategic goals of the group. In H1 2013 the group sold industrial products for the sum of 107 832 thousand PLN. In this amount 13 221 thousand PLN fell to internal sales realised by the erection units, whereas direct (external) sales reached the value of 94 611 thousand PLN. The presented sales volumes of finished goods account for consolidation exclusions within the group. Production of principal products by volume and value in H1 2013 and H1 2012 was as follows: - by volume: Type of Product Quantity Unit of measure H1 2013 H1 2012 Medium voltage switchgear panel 1 017 1 559 Low voltage switchgear panel 317 637 Mobile substations set 40 72 MV busducts type NGW-M, PONTIS set 1 219 2 034 High-current busducts type ELPO, ELPE, PELPO set 46 12 Cable trays ton 18 9 Electricity distribution and control devices pcs 51 66 Measuring and monitoring devices (recorders) pcs 8 518 7 970 Peripheral devices (separators, converters, controllers) pcs 161 217 7

In December 2012 the economic climate indicator reached minus 35. Business index in the 1st quarter of 2013 dropped by 13 points compared with the previous quarter. In the second quarter of 2013 it rose by 45 points compared with the previous quarter. Its growth in Q2 on Q1 results from seasonality of construction industry and should not be considered as sustained growth trend. In June 2013 the economic climate indicator reached minus 17 and there are no indications of improvement of the situation of building companies. Forecasts for the economic climate of the building industry are still pessimistic. Insufficient demand, particularly of the public sector, became a significant factor which curbs the growth. Number of invitations to tender has dramatically decreased and less orders means less income. The problem of payment gridlocks is not becoming less serious. Within the past six months courts declared bankruptcy of 455 companies, 106 building companies turned bankrupt. The wave of bankruptcies and arrangement bankruptcies involves the necessity to make write-offs on receivables. In the first half of 2013 the group created provisions for impairment of receivables in the amount of 7 678 thousand PLN. At 30 June 2013 the amount of the group s provisions for impairment of receivables totalled 22 015 thousand PLN, which accounts for 7.9% of total amount of trade and other receivables. 8

Strong market competition within the sector still remains an important barrier which limits the activity of building industry, as it directly translates to lower margins. Winning new orders in tender procedures where the most-favourable-price bids are successful keep the profit margins on a low level. Furthermore, execution of awarded orders is bound with the building materials price risk, as price changes may have adverse influence on contract profitability. High indebtness of building companies, low margins achieved on the projects and still strong competition which will result on low profitability, also of new orders, are the main factors contributing to deterioration of the situation in the building industry. Major growth barriers, beside strong competition, still include high labour costs, high prices of building materials and bureaucracy. The increase in labour cost was related to the demand for experienced professionals and contracts carried out in other countries where terms of payment for the group s employees must conform to local regulations Increasing significance of the barrier relating to uncertainty of overall economic situation caused that the building companies forecasts of further growth have lowered and a drop of profitability of building output is expected. General business climate in the building industry in 2013 is reflected in the performance of the group. The economic and financial results of the reporting period closed with the 857 thousand PLN net profit which decreased compared to analysed periods. It dropped by 2 881 thousand PLN compared to H1 2012 and by 9 059 thousand PLN compared to the H1 2011 net profit. A decrease in net profit and gross profit for the period from January to June 2013 compared to the same period of the previous year was recorded by all business segments of the group. The net loss recognized in the Industry Division segment in H1 2013 in the amount of 8 874 thousand PLN was by 4 921 thousand PLN lower than in the loss incurred in H1 2012. Negative result of that segment substantially contributed to decreasing the level of the group s profitability. The service activity of the Industry Division segment concentrated principally in the building industry, which has been severely affected by the economic downturn for several years. In 2012, compared to 2011, the building industry output dropped by 0.6%, number of buildings decreased by 1.3% and specialist construction works by 0.7%. It is predicted that the value of the Polish construction output will continue to decline in 2013. In the period between January and June of the current year the construction output was by 21.5% lower than in the same period of the previous year. In the light of the described above economic situation in the building industry, further decrease of the volume of sales of the Industry Division segment may be expected. Volume of its order backlog is unfavourable and the forecasts for the coming months are not optimistic. At 30 June 2013 the bakclog of orders of the Industry Division amounted to 225 096 thousand PLN, while a year before it had the value of 290 425 thousand PLN (a drop by 22.5%). The period that the Industry Division segment has to wait for payment for the provided works or services is systematically prolonging. The declared bankruptcies and arrangement bankruptcies involve the necissity to write off some of the receivables.the amount of impairment of receivables 9

created by the Industry Division in H1 2013 was of 5 288 thousand PLN which accounts for 68.9 per cent of their total. At 30 June 2013 the value of provision for impairment of receivables of the Industry Division amounted to 12 471 thousand PLN and constituted 56.6% of total. The most serious decline in profits, both gross and net, was suffered by the Industry Division business segment of the group. Financial performance of the segment had substantially contributed to the reduction of the group s profitability level. High indebtness of building companies which causes oayment gridlocks, low margins achieved on the projects and maintaining strong competition which impose unfavourable terms of contracts, are the main factors contributing to the negative financial result of the Industry Division segment. The net loss incurred by the segment in H1 2013 in the amount of 8 874 thousand PLN includes the expected losses on services performed under contracts in the amount of 11 785 thousand PLN. The priorities of the coming months include further improvement of business efficiency and operational effectiveness, improvement of project management process and optimization of purchase processes within the group. The strengths that at present help the companies to operate in the Polish construction market are: reliability, professionalism, good track record and references, experience. In the time of slowdown in the economy, business contacts, so stable, good relations with purchasers, investors and subcontractors are of particular value. The level of uncertainty in the market were the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group operates is relatively high, therefore it is difficult to present reliable sales forecasts for a period longer than one year. Despite unfavourable economic climate of the building industry, the forecasts of the parent s backlog of orders for 2013 and the value of orders received in H1 2013 ensure full implementation of the company s productive capacity in further quarters of the financial year. Total value of contracts, orders and purchase orders received by the parent in H1 2013 amounted to 1 475.3 million PLN which means an increase by 198.2% on the comparable period of the previous year. The parent s order backlog as at 30 June 2013 amounted to 1 880.5 million PLN Compared to 30 June 2012 its volume rose by 102.0%. Forecasts concerning the volume of orders for the coming period are optimistic, both in respect to domestic and foreign orders. In H1 2013 revenues on sales of products, goods and materials earned by the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group amounted to 382.8 million PLN and were by 58.4 million PLN lower than in H1 2012, which is equivalent to a 13.2% drop. The biggest contracts of the group were signed by the parent. The parent, ELEKTROBUDOWA SA generated 92.9% of total group s revenues, whereas the subsidiary, ENERGOTEST sp. z o.o. was responsible for 5.3% share, and ELEKTROBUDOWA Ukraine Ltd. for 1.8% share in the total group s revenues. 10

Sales invoiced in H1 2013 were generated principally on big contracts for the supply of electrical installation services and supply of electrical equipment, such as: - supply of erection & precomissioning of electrical and I&C components and systems for NPP OLKILUOTO 3 in Finland PLN 60.4m - construction of SCR/EF installation, including infrastructure, Stage 1 for PKN ORLEN SA PLN 28.4m participation in the turnkey supply of a new, gas-fuelled, combined heat and power unit, 45MWe electric power and 40MWt thermal power in KGHM, Głogów for KGHM Polska Miedź S.A.

The main items of the statement of comprehensive income for H1 2013 and H1 2012: H1 2013 H1 2012 Change PLN 000 % PLN 000 % PLN 000 Net sales revenues 382 843 100.0 441 220 100.0 (58 377) Cost of products, goods and materials sold (366 596) 95.8 (428 549) 97.1 61 953 Gross profit on sales 16 247 4.2 12 671 2.9 3 576 Selling costs (2 316) 0.6 (3 678) 0.9 1 362 Administration expenses (8 183) 2.1 (7 789) 1.8 (394) Other operating expenses (2 297) 0.6 (1 913) 0.4 (384) Other gains / losses - net (1 546) 0.4 2 161 0.5 (3 707) Operating profit 1 905 0.5 1 452 0.3 453 Finance income / costs net (493) 0.1 478 0.1 (971) Share in profit of associates 213 0.1 2 095 0.5 (1 882) Profit before income tax 1 625 0.4 4 025 0.9 (2 400) Net profit for the period 857 0.2 3 738 0.8 (2 881) Relations between sales and costs and their impact on the profit amount are described by sales profitability ratios. Values of those ratios reflect the ability of sales to generate earnings. The H1 2013 profitability ratios dropped compared to the ratios obtained in H1 2012. Gross profit margin fell by 0.5 percentage point on the same period of 2012, while the net profit margin dropped by 0.6 percentage point compared to H1 2012. The decrease of profit margins was substantially caused by the growth of costs of other operating activity, which in its vast part consisted of impairment of receivables. Because of deteriorating financial situation of business partners, problems with liquidity and declared bankruptcies of a few co-operators, in H1 2013 it was necessary to impair the receivables by 7 678 million PLN. Impairment provisions created in the comparable period of the previous year amount to 3 975 thousand PLN. Total amount of impairment of receivables of the group at 30 June 2013 was 22 015 thousand PLN and was by 6 590 thousand PLN higher compared to the amount in H1 2012. Gross profit on sales after the six months of 2013 recorded a positive change and rose by 3 576 thousand PLN, i.e. by 29.6%. By 1.3 percentage point higher rate of decline in costs of products, goods and materials sold than the rate of decline in sales revenue resulted in growth of gross profit margin on sales from the level of 2.9% to 4.2% in comparable periods. Selling costs in H1 2013 amounted to 2 316 thousand PLN and were by 1 362 thousand PLN lower than in H1 2012. The level of selling costs in consecutive years was correlated with the level of sales revenue. The share of selling costs in sales revenue was 0.6% in H1 2013 and 0.8% in H1 2012. The main item of the selling costs were transportation services, which dropped in the comparable periods by 1 327 thousand PLN. 12

The general administrative costs incurred in H1 2013 amounted to 8 183 thousand PLN and rose by 394 thousand PLN, that is by 5.1%, compared to H1 2012. In H1 2013 the general administrative expenses had a 2.1% share in the sales revenue while in H1 2012 the share was 1.8%. In recent reporting periods the share of administrative expenses in revenues did not significantly change. Other operating costs incurred by the group in H1 2013 amounted to 2 297 thousand PLN and included: - charges and fees paid for contract bonds issued by banks, 1 678 thousand PLN, - bank commission on advanced loans, 360 thousand PLN, - legal fees and penalties, 259 thousand PLN. In H1 2013 compared to H1 2012 total value of charges and fees relating to the contract bonds rose by 563 thousand PLN (by 50.5%). This is due to bigger amount of guarantees provided by the group in H1 2013, including contract bonds: advance payment bonds, performance bonds, warranty bonds, and also provided as security for debt payment. At 30 June 2013 the amount of guarantees issued by banks totalled 405 210 thousand PLN, while at 30 June 2012 it was 189 608 thousand PLN. Also, costs of borrowings were greater by 119 thousand PLN (a growth by 49.4%). In H1 2013 the parent used current account overdraft facility and a working capital loan to finance its day-to-day operations, what increased the amount of bank commission. The amount of loans utilized by the group in H1 2013 totalled 24 418 thousand PLN. In H1 2012 the group s entities utilized the amount of 1 586 thousand PLN of loans to fund their operations. The amount of utilized borrowings rose by 22 832 thousand PLN in the analyzed periods. The expenses in respect to legal fees and penalties incurred by the group in H1 2013 were by 53.5%, that is by 298 thousand PLN lower. Total other operating costs rose by 384 thousand PLN, that is by 20.1%. In H1 2013 other expenses exceeded the amount of other income by 1 546 thousand PLN, while in H1 2012 there was a reverse situation: there was a surplus of other income over expenses in the amount of 2 161 thousand PLN. Negative result of other operating activity in H1 2013 was generally attributable to the impairment of receivables. Main items of other income: - interest 3 772 thousand PLN - reversal of provision for impairment of receivables 1 807 thousand PLN - penalties and compensation 1 245 thousand PLN - positive exchange differences 646 thousand PLN - received compensation 634 thousand PLN - legal fees 174 thousand PLN - discount of receivables 89 thousand PLN - gains from disposal of financial assets 16 thousand PLN 13

Main items of other expenses: - provision for impairment of receivables 7 678 thousand PLN - interest 1 634 thousand PLN - damage repair cost 211 thousand PLN - donations 158 thousand PLN - inventories write-down 17 thousand PLN Operating profit generated by the group for H1 2013 amounted to 1 905 thousand PLN while return on operating profit was 0.5%. The profitability of operating activity rose 0.2 percentage point, compared to H1 2012. The group recorded a 493 thousand PLN loss on financial activities, whereas in H1 2012 it generated gains in the amount of 478 thousand PLN. The financial gains in the amount of 46 thousand PLN were received as dividend on the shares in Energotest diagnostyka Sp. z o.o. The gains were reduced by finance expenses incurred in the amount of 539 thousand PLN, of which: - interest on credit 521 thousand PLN, - interest on leases 18 thousand PLN. Gains from financial investment in shares of associates amounted to 213 thousand PLN in H1 2013 and were by 1 882 thousand PLN lower than in the same period of the previous year. The losses on other operating and financing activity had negative influence on the level of gross profit and net profit generated by the group. The pre-tax profit for H1 2013 amounted to 1 625 thousand PLN and was by 2 400 thousand PLN, i.e. by 59.6% smaller than the profit generated by the group in H1 2012. The amount of net profit earned in H1 2013 was 857 thousand PLN and was by 2 881 thousand PLN, i.e. 77.1%, lower than in H1 2012. 2.3 Financial analysis As at the end of H1 2013 the group s balance sheet total rose by 23.3 million PLN compared to its value in the same period of the previous year. On the non-current assets side there was a drop by 0.3 million PLN, while the current assets rose by 23.6 million PLN. The decline in non-current assets was attributable to a significant, 11.9 million PLN decrease in the amount of non-current receivables. A growth was recorded in the following non-current assets items: intangible assets by 4.5 million PLN, deferred income tax assets by 3.0 million PLN and property, plant and equipment by 2.5 million PLN. In current assets items there was a growth in trade receivables by 50.0 million PLN, inventories by 4.8 million PLN and short-term prepayments by 3.0 million PLN. 14

On the equity and liabilities side, the relation of liabilities to equity increased. In H1 2013 compared to the previous year, the increase in equity by 10.1 million PLN was accompanied by the 13.2 million PLN increase in liabilities. The growth in equity is principally attributed to the increase of supplementary capital by 13.2 million PLN further to distribution of profit for 2012 and prior years. The increase in liabilities was generally caused by the increase in loans, borrowings and debt securities by 22.8 million PLN, current accruals by 19.6 million PLN, payables to contractors for construction contract work by 7.4 million PLN, corporate income tax liabilities by 2.9 million PLN and other longterm payables by 2.6 million PLN. The group implemented the policy of financing its operations from its own funds, party supported by borrowed capital in the form of liabilities which was provisionally in its disposal, and also by overdraft facilities and working capital loan in the amount of 24 418 thousand PLN. Selected ratios describing the company economic and financial position: I. Profitability ratios H1 2013 H1 2012 H1 2011 1. Net profit margin 0.2% 0.9% 2.7% net profit / sales revenues 2. Gross profit margin 0.4% 0.9% 3.0% profit before taxes / sales revenues 3. operating profit margin 0.5% 0.3% 3.1% operating profit / sales revenues 4. Return on equity (ROE) 0.3% 1.2% 3.2% net profit / average equity capital 5. Return on assets (ROA) 0.1% 0.6% 1.8% net profit / average assets II. Liquidity ratios 1. Current ratio 1.4 1.5 1.6 average current assets / average current liabilities 2. Quick ratio 1.2 1.3 1.4 (average current assets inventories)/ (average current liabilities III. Turnover ratios 1. Receivables turnover ratio (days) 108 92 101 average trade debtors x 360 days / sales revenues 15

2. Accounts payable turnover ratio (days) 87 80 72 average trade creditors x 360 days sales revenues 3. Inventory turnover (days) 29 26 18 average inventories x 360 days / sales revenues 4. Assets turnover 0.6 0.7 0.7 sales revenues /average total assets IV. Debt ratios 1. Debt-equity ratio 51.7% 51.5% 45.6% average borrowed capital /average total equity The presented ratios in a synthetic form reflect the measurement of management effectiveness in the entities of the group, which should be assessed as good. Profitability ratios define the ability of sales to generate earnings. Within the analysed periods return on sales ratios gradually decreased. Their changes reflect changes in net profit generated by the group. In H1 2013 the net profit margin was 0.2%. It dropped by 0.7 percentage point on H1 2012 and by 2.5 percentage point on H1 2011. Gross profit margin was 0.4%. It dropped by 0.5 percentage point on H1 2012 and by 2.6 percentage point on H1 2011. Worsening of the ratio means that the group has to realize bigger volume of sales to generate a certain amount of profit. The return on assets ratio (ROA), which indicates ability to generate earnings after taxes by all assets used by an entity, was 0.1% in the reporting period and was by 0.5 percentage point lower than in H1 2012 and by 1.7 percentage point lower than in H1 2011. Although ROA has been in the falling trend during the analysed periods, its levels indicate the effective use of assets employed. The return on equity (ROE) was 0.3% for H1 2013 and dropped by 0.9 percentage point compared with H1 2012 and dropped by 2.9 percentage point on H1 2011. The drop of ROE in the analysed periods means that the growth in equity was bigger than the growth of profits. The growth in equity during the last years strengthened the financial position of the group. In H1 2013 current liquidity ratio was 1.4, while quick ratio was on the level of 1.2. In the analysed periods both ratios showed a declining tendency by 0.1 percentage point period-to-period. In the case of current ratio it is assumed that its optimal value should remain between 1.5 and 2.5, while the quick ratio should approximate one or be slightly higher. Levels of liquidity ratios indicate good financial credibility of the group. Liquidity ratios provide information about the short-time financial security of the group; their values should be correlated with the level of the turnover ratio. The collection period of trade receivables in H1 2013 was 108 days and was by 16 days longer than in H1 2012 and by 7 days longer than in H1 2011. Unfavourable change of the collection period was caused by the worsening financial condition of companies and occurring payment gridlocks. Because of their financial difficulties, purchasers impose unfavourable payment terms in the contracts, the 16

difficulties are also the cause of extended payments. Problems of payment by the contractors result in overdue debts. For trade receivables overdue at 30 June 2013 amounting to 48 563 thousand PLN (34 834 thousand PLN at 30 June 2012) an impairment provision was created in the amount of 17 155 thousand PLN (13 763 thousand PLN in H1 2012). The impairment covered the trade receivables for which the group s has a warrant of execution by the bailiff, that are within the estate in bankruptcy, or that were due over 180 days ago. In H1 2013, compared with H1 2012, the amount of impairment of trade receivables rose by 24.6%. According to the balance sheet data, payables are settled within 87 days. Maturity dates for payables vary from 14 days to 60 days. Within the analysed 6 months accounts payable turnover ratio was by 7 days longer that in H1 2012 and by 21 days in H1 2011. Although the period in which the group paid its debt lengthen, the turnover period for payables was shorter than in the case of receivables, which indicates that the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group more often extends trade credit to its customers than utilizes such credit from its suppliers. Inventories turnover period, which was 29 days, provides information on the length of process of transforming the inventories into finished products sold. In H1 2013 the inventories turnover period was by 3 days longer than in H1 2012 and by 11 days longer than in H1 2011. As the group recorded an increase in revenue on sales of products, goods and materials recorded in earlier reporting periods, the growth indicates that the volume of stock is suitably adjusted to the demand for the group s products. Furthermore, the period in which the resources are engaged in financing the inventories corresponds to monthly settlement cycles of most services provided by the group. The length of inventories turnover cycle indicates efficiency of managing the material resources of current assets. The activity of the group s entities is assessed by the assets turnover ratio, which measures the ability of assets owned by the group to generate sales. Asset turnover ratio was 0.6 and dropped by 0.1 percentage point both on H1 2012 and H1 2011. The level of the ratio in the analysed periods indicates balanced growth of sales revenues and the group s assets and therefore efficient use of property owned by the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group. Debt-equity ratio informs about the relation between borrowed capitals and owned capital. In H1 2013 compared with H1 2012 the debt-equity ratio rose by 0.2% and by 6.1% compared with H1 2011. Growth of the ratio informs about higher share of borrowed capital in financing the group s equity. In H1 2013 the group released its lines of credits in banks. A 30 June 2013 the amount of used overdraft in current accounts and working capital loan totalled 24 418 thousand PLN. Levels of liquidity ratios and inventories turnover ratio allow for a positive opinion of the financial situation of the group and its financial strategy. The group s payables are fully secured by the assets owned and equity gathered. The analysis shows that the group has strengthened its sound financial position achieved within recent years. 17

Presented above key parameters and ratios characterising the economic and financial position of the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group and its equity have been calculated on the basis of the consolidated financial statements prepared under the going concern assumption. 2.4 Financial resources management In H1 2013 the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group implemented the policy of financing its operations from its own funds, party supported by borrowed capital in the form of liabilities which was provisionally in its disposal, and also by overdraft facilities and working capital loan. The group was fully capable of fulfilling its financial obligations. In H1 2013 the group entities maintained overdraft facility in the current accounts and a limit of working capital loan up to the total amount of 51.0 million PLN. At 30 June 2013 the amount of debit was 24.4 thousand PLN. Cooperation with several banks ensured even distribution of committed sources of financing and to maintain suitable level of funds for working capital. The group used various products offered by banks and rationally utilized in its operations: daily balancing the accounts, automatic overnight deposits created from cash surplus, negotiated interest on deposits, negotiated exchange rates, financial market transactions derivative instruments (forward). Such behaviour allows to minimise financial costs and to optimize management of financial liquidity risk. The group s activity relating to foreign exchange transactions was determined by the exchange rates of basic currencies, EUR and USD. In H1 2013 the group did not conclude any forward contracts with financial institutions to hedge the exchange rates. The group generally enjoyed natural hedging of foreign exchange risk, as the imports are realized in foreign currencies. In its financial policy the group consequently avoided using foreign currency options or any other risky financial instruments. The group companies maintain wide cooperation with banks and insurance companies with respect of contract bonds and signed agreements for contract bonds within the extended guarantee lines to secure: bid bonds, advance payment bods, performance bonds and warranty bonds and also to secure claims pursued in court and to guarantee timely payment of debt. Favourable contractual terms for guarantees are a strong competitive advantage and allow the group to take part in all tenders. In H1 2013 compared with H1 2012 the parent substantially increased the limit of loans and guarantees what allows it to maintain a good position in tender procedures (necessity to prove credit quality). Agreements with banks concerned mainly guarantee lines granted within multipurpose limits up to the total amount of 517.7 million PLN (of which 51.0 million PLN for credits and 466.7 million PLN for guarantees). As at 30 June 2013 they were utilized in the amount of 24.4 million PLN as overdraft in 18

the current account and working capital loan and 408.1 million PLN as guarantees. In H1 2012 the allowed limit of bank products was 282.5 million PLN, of which credit facility 27.0 million PLN and guarantee line 255.5 million PLN. At 30 June 2012 the multi-purpose limit of borrowing was utilized in the amount of 189.6 million PLN for contract bonds and 1.6 million PLN as overdraft in the current account. The group, within the cooperation with insurance companies in respect of contract bonds had a total limit up to 54.9 million PLN, of which the amount of 37.2 million PLN was utilized as of 30 June 2013. The limit of guarantees granted by the insurance companies in H1 2012 amounted to 121.0 million PLN, of which 52.5 million PLN was utilized by the group entities. Assessing the level of funds owned and the amounts of expected inflows and expenses it must be pointed out that the resources will allow the group to finance both the investments planned for the second half of 2013 and also its current operating activity, with no risk of destabilizing the financial liquidity. 2.5 Human capital management In H1 2013 average monthly employment was 2143 job equivalents and was about 2.2% lower than in H1 2012. Out of the average number of employees, 1 116 job equivalents fell to direct labour, whereas 1027 job equivalents to white-collar staff. The number of manual workers decreased by 7.9% compared with H1 2012, whereas the number of non-manual workers rose by 4.8% on H1 2012. The average employment at the end of H1 2013 was 2110 employees. The number of employees dropped by 121 compared with the end of H1 2012. In respect of employment structure by education, the number of personnel with higher education, mainly engineering, regularly increases. At the end of June 2013 the number of employees with degrees accounted for 37.5% of total, while at the end of June 2012 t was 33.9%. The H1 2013 productivity of employment, calculated as the relation of sales revenues and average monthly employment amounted to 179 thousand PLN. Profitability of employment, calculated as the relation of gross profit and average monthly employment, was 1 thousand PLN in H1 2013. Compared with H1 2012 the productivity index decreased by 22 thousand PLN and the profitability index fell by 1 thousand PLN. In the period from 1 January to 30 June 2013 together 87 new people were employed in different trade groups, from direct labour through specialist in various areas to managerial posts. There were no collective redundancies during the six reporting months. Only in a few instances the provisions of law on the so called collective redundancies were applied, connected with completion of some contracts. Average gross monthly pay in H1 2013 in the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group was 5 895 PLN. Its amount, which is much higher that average monthly salary in Poland, is principally attributed to the group s foreign contracts, where the group maintains the level of guaranteed pay applicable according 19

to the local collective agreements. In H1 2013 average monthly pay in the group rose by about 3.8% compared with the same period of the prior year. The group consequently implements an incentive programme targeted at increase of profit margins and performance and develops non-pay methods of motivation to support the process of recruitment and retaining employees and to increase the level of motivation and effective work. In H1 2013 several events to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the parent, ELEKTROBUDOWA SA were organized, funded from the Company Social Benefits Fund. Development of employee s qualifications and competence is a key for the development of the group. So, as in previous periods, in H1 2013 training policy was continued, basing on the Procedure for Personnel Training and Development which is included in the ISO system valid in the parent. Expenditure on training principally concerned the policy of systematic development of the project management-focused corporate culture and also the issues of enhancing professionalism of work teams, particularly managerial skills and language skills. In H1 2013 the group invested 717 thousand PLN in training of its personnel, which gives an average of 335 PLN per one employee. Training costs accounted for 1.0% of the total H1 2013 remuneration fund. The implemented development programmes not only contribute to the increased professionalism of employees and development of their skills but also complement the applied incentive systems and plans. Cooperation with the trade union organisations was very good in the period. There were no labour disputes in the group companies, or collective bargaining with the trade union organisations acting in the companies. Like in previous years the group s companies supported and respected generally accepted human rights as well as observed standards in the scope of the employee right of association and collective negotiations, and counteracting discrimination practices. Since 1 December 2010 the parent, ELEKTROBUDOWA SA has been a member of the Global Compact. The UN Global Compact is a unique, powerful platform for skill-sharing, implementation and disclosure of sustainability and social governance policies and practices. It has over 10 000 corporate participants and other stakeholders from over 135 countries. Aware of environmental impact of the group s activity the parent actively participates in shaping its positive impact on local environment in the area of broadly understood Corporate Social Responsibility. All CSR activities provide many advantages for ELEKTROBUDOWA SA, including: - greater legitimization of conducted business, - demonstrating a leadership position in the issue of responsibility towards the communities, - increased level of employee satisfaction, - better reputation and increased brand value for customers, investors and employees, particularly in the context of changing social expectations, - ensuring the company s responsibility and transparency in communication with the publics. 20

The parent, ELEKTROBUDOWA SA for the sixth consecutive time was included, together with several dozen of WSE-listed companies, in RESPECT INDEX, the first in Central and Eastern Europe stock exchange index which includes listed companies leaders in considering social issues in their strategies. 2.6 Occupational Health and Safety Management The parent, ELEKTROBUDOWA SA has the following certificates - the certificate of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System according to the requirements of SHE Checklist Contractors, SCC**2008/5.1 valid throughout Europe with the exception of Finland; - the certificates issued by DNV for conformity of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System to the PN-N-18001:2004 and OHSAS 18001:2007 standards in the scope of design, manufacture, erection and service of power and automation systems, building investment projects management.

The results of recertification were positive. During H1 2013 there were no instances of an occupational illness. No claims were raised against any of the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group companies due to nonobservance of safety requirements or due to accidents at work. At 30 June 2013 there were two cases on acknowledging the near misses as accident at work pending before the District Court Katowice Zachód in Katowice, 7th Department of Labour and Social Insurance and before the District Court in Chrzanów, 4th Department of Labour. 2.7 Quality System Management The group is focused on the continual improvement of product quality, with respect to the environment. The entities in the group are permanently involved in quality issues through the certified quality systems. The parent, ELEKTROBUDOWA SA applies the Quality Management System according to EN ISO 9001, and the Environmental Management System based on the model presented in the EN ISO 14001 standard. The Quality Management System has been supplemented with: - the NATO requirements defined in the document AQAP-2110, - the requirements for welding - according to PN-EN ISO 3834-2. The Busduct Factory also meets the quality requirements for manufacture of pressurized equipment for conformity with European Pressure Directive 97/23/EC. 21

The subsidiary, ENERGOTEST sp. z o. o. has certificates for conformity to: - EN ISO 9001:2008 - Quality management system; - PN-EN 14001:2005 - Environmental management system, requirements and guidelines; - PN-N 18001:2004 - ; Occupational health and safety management system; - BS OHSAS 18001:2007 Occupational health and safety management systems Requirements. All the above systems, including supplements, are regularly audited and recertified to a relevant standard. The quality management system is integrated with the environmental management and occupational safety management systems. Integration generally consists in development of common documentation, common auditing of the management systems, setting goals and targets. The key objective of the above systems is constant improvement of quality of our products, with care for environment by preventing and mitigating adverse environmental impacts and with fulfilling the OHS requirements. Essential events that occurred in the group in H1 2013 and which affect the assessment and functioning of the integrated quality and environmental management systems: - an audit for qualified supplier of AREVA carrying out projects for construction of nuclear power plants, among other projects; completed with a positive result; - an audit of supervision over the quality and environmental management systems, completed with a positive result; - reviews of the Integrated Management System which certified that the parent s quality management system supplemented with the AQOP requirements and quality in welding, the environmental management system and the occupational health and safety management system were intergrated and fuctioned correctly; - internal audits of the integrated quality and environmental management system, which were tools for the management systems improvement; - internal trainings to present basic principles of functioning of the management systems, employees obligations towards the environment and fulfilling quality standards; - an audit recertifying for conformity to EN ISO 9001:2008 and an certification audit for conformity to PN-EN 4001:2005, PN-N 18001:2004, BS OHSAS 18001:2007 in ENERGOTEST sp. z o.o.

Positive results of internal and external audits, records in the review reports prove that the systems applied by the group function correctly and that the group companies supply products and services in compliance with the relevant contracts for supplies and services and fulfil their duties towards the environment. 2.8. Prospects for business development of the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group and significant risks or threats In the period forom January to June 2013 the Polish building output was by 21.5% smaller than in the comparable period a year before, when it rose by 8.0%. Further decline in the volume of building output is predicted, mainly because of restricted demand from the public sector. Level of uncertainty is relatively high, so companies are unable to provide reliable forecasts with respect to sales for a period longer than one year. The longest average period of time for which the companies ar sure to have work to do, basing on the concluded contracts, is now only 8 months. The most effective way to win new orders are public tenders and long-term cooperation with an investor. As at 30 June 2013 the order backlog of the parent amounted to 1 880.5 million PLN and rose on the comparable six months of 2012 by 949.5 million PLN, that is by 102.0%. In H1 2013 the volume of orders received by the parent, ELEKTROBUDOWA SA reached the value of 1 475.3 million PLN, which is the growth by 980.6 million PLN, i.e. by 198.2% compared with H1 2012. The sales revenues generated by the group in H1 2013 amounted to 382.8 million PLN and were by 58.4 million PLN (by 13.2%) lower compared with H1 2012. Growth in the value of generated revenues in the consecutive fiscal year was possible owing to: diversification of order portfolio; consistent development of customer service network; increasing share of export. The management of the parent, ELEKTROBUDOWA SA attaches considerable significance to strengthening the group s competitive advantage in foreign markets and to growth of exports. The group actively seeks new market for its products and boosts its export sales in its traditional areas. The parent has five foreign permanent establishments registered, through which it performs services in Finland, Luxembourg, Estonia, Germany and the Netherlands. Through the operation of its associates the group introduces its products in the markets of Russia, Ukraine and Saudi Arabia. 23

Like in previous years, the sales offer of the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group in H1 2013 did not significantly change and was still based on the following products and services: 1. Overall electric installation in the range of medium and low voltages for new, modernized and retrofitted power generation facilities. 2. General realization of investments, including public utility facilities, retail centres, industrial facilities. 3. Supply of complete automation and electrical systems. 4. Manufacture of electrical automation devices. 5. Manufacture and installation of high-current busducts (ELPO, ELPE, PELPO). 6. Manufacture of indoor medium and low voltage switchgear assemblies. 7. LV. MV, HV stations. 8. Turnkey supply of electrical substations and high and extra high voltage lines for distribution and industrial operators. 9. Commissioning tests and start-up. 10. Design of equipment. 11. Servicing. 12. Conceptual work and consulting. 13. Property management. Customers were offered complex (EPC) project performance, starting with designing and prefabrication of equipment through delivery, installation, start-up together with operation during the trial period, and ending with after-sales service. The group s potential allows it to put into effect the majority of complex projects on its own. Growth of the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group to a large extent depends on customers representing the following branches: power industry, building and petrochemical industries, mining, metallurgy, retail sector and the army. Each of the foregoing branches has specific requirements in the area of services and products involved with generation, transmission and use of electric energy; they differ in ways of conducting business and have different economic situation. Future income of the group will undoubtedly depend on such factors as: - favourable economic situation in the power, chemical, metallurgy, mining and building trades, - price level of electrical materials and equipment as well as metallurgic products, - intensification of soliciting activities, particularly on the markets of Central and Eastern Europe and in Saudi Arabia, - course of privatization processes, especially in the power industry, - consistent reducing the group s administration costs, - increasing requirements for financial security of projects in the segment of power industry construction, - financial situation of investors and resulting complications with payments. Many purchasers already impose extended payment terms and introduce more and more complicated methods of payment, difficult to accept as early as at the stage of analysing a request for quotation, and often resulting in withdrawal from tender. 24

Polish construction market of recent years was strongly stimulated by EU funds and choosing Poland as a host of 2012 UEFA European Football Championship. These two factors had the greatest influence on market trends. The economic situation of the country is in a slowdown, and the situation of the building industry is more difficult than general economic situation. Limited demand in the domestic market as well as the intense fight for new contracts between companies force to look for new opportunities abroad. The unique geographical position of Poland and development of trade routes with developed markets are an advantage in the development of exports by national business. The group constantly undertakes intensive efforts to increase the volume of exports. The parent, in cooperation with other group s companies recognises the needs of foreign markets through participation in symposia and conferences and promotes its products and services in trade fairs and exhibitions. Joint participation of ELEKTROBUDOWA SA, VECTOR Ltd. and ENERGOTEST sp. z o.o. in the Energetika & Elektrotechnika 2013 Exhibition in Sankt Petersburg created an opportunity for presenting the latest technical solutions of the three companies to our customers. The group presented its HV GIS (OPTIMA 145), busducts type PONTIS, automated MV switchgear (D-12PL, in a hundred percent built on subassemblies available in the Russian Federation) and the switchgear dedicated for mining, PREM-GO. The above activities will bring a substantial growth in the second half of the year in the sale of finished products and will also significantly strengthen the trademark in the Russian Federation. For a few years the ELEKTROBUDOWA SA has been successful in selling its products in Saudi Arabia. The products are sold by the parent and the exports include the equipment manufactured by the Power Distribution Division in Konin and the Busduct Factory in Tychy. The division in Konin sell its products through the associate, SAUDI ELEKTROBUDOWA LLC. The parent estimates that in result of extensive marketing of the last few years implemented by the associate, the growth trend of exports of medium voltage switchgear to Saudi Arabia will be maintained. In 2013 SAUDI ELEKTROBUDOWA LLC supplied the 13.8kV switchgear for a new hospital in Nairan in the south of the country (a project of the Saudi Ministry of Health). In 2013 further two orders were awarded, for the supply of switchgear to the Hammadi Hospital in Rijadh (Client Nour Industries) and for the supply of distribution panels for switching the reactive power compensation systems for FOA SEC East (Client TIEPCO) in Arar and Quarayath, the towns in the north of the country. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is in a constant investment boom in power industry, other industries and housing construction, financed by the government. Because of steady, huge cash inflows from the sale of oil, the Saudi economy practically is not prone to the effects of the crisis which still besets the world s economy. The country s electric power infrastructure is being intensely extended on all voltage levels. There are also gigantic investments in power generation industry, where the intensive development of solar (photovoltaic) power plants and nuclear power plants is expected. Basic products offered and sold in the Saudi market are D-17P switchgear panels of the 13.8V system and D-40P switchgear for the 33kV system. In the Saudi market the Busduct Factory in Tychy supplies its isolated-phase busducts ELPE and nonsegregated phase busducts ELPO, with supervision and installation services. 25

The group is going to continue to strengthen its position in the Russian and Ukrainian markets. For five years now an associate, the Power Equipment Production Plant VECTOR Ltd has been operating in Russia, while in Ukraine the group has its subsidiary ELEKTROBUDOWA Ukraine Ltd. Both companies are the suppliers of the parent s products to their local markets. Mobile substations type SKP equipped with medium voltage switchgear, and indoor MV switchgear will remain principal products exported to Russia and Ukraine. The growth of independent production competence in the associate, Power Equipment Production Plant VECTOR Ltd, changed the position of ELEKTROBUDOWA SA in H1 2013 from the supplier of finished products to the supplier of some materials for manufacture of the products on the basis of constructions designed by VECTOR. Consequently, the volume of supplies of finished products to the Russian market decreased in H1 2013. Both ELEKTROBUDOWA UKRAINE Ltd. and VECTOR Ltd. carry on design and consulting connected with preparation of distribution of HV GIS (OPTIMA 145) as soon as the certification in those markets is completed. The ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group thoroughly analyses the market on which it operates and identifies segments prospective for its business development. In the years to come the power industry will be the main driving force of the Polish industrial building sector which badly needs substantial investment in generating facilities and network. The investments in renewable sources of energy seem prospective as well. The construction industry expects a boom since 2014 when projects from the new EU financial perspective will be launched. Recovery of this sector should be clearly visible in 2015. Applicable European standards concerning environmental protection provide good prospects for development of waste handling and sewage treatment projects. The ELEKTROBUDOWA SA group has suitable human capital and financial resources to involve in future projects planned by the power and gas industries and renewable energy sources. However there is a serious fear that the observable downturn in building industry and worsened financial situation of Polish companies will considerably contribute to delays of new projects. Difficulties that companies have to face will be related with insufficient demand both from the public and the private sector. In the nearest quarters of the year it will be difficult to improve profitability, as orders will be won in the period of tough competition and probably concluded under unfavourable terms imposed by the purchasers. The wave of bankruptcies of companies and arrangement bankruptcies results from the scale of downturn in the building industry and will spread to cooperating industries. For many companies it will cause the necessity of write-offs, particularly in the case of arrangement bankruptcy. The described situation of the building industry will surely affect the operations of the group in the whole year 2013. Forecasts prepared by the parent account for deteriorating market conditions in the sector where the group operates. 26

One of major challenges that the group has to face is maintaining financial liquidity. It is of particular importance in the context of decreasing number of orders and growing problems with payment gridlocks. Deteriorating financial situation of investors is the cause of frequent changes of investment plans and considerable uncertainty about projects being executed. Strong competition inside the branch and insufficient demand are essential barriers which restrict the activity of the group and which directly translate into lower margins on projects. Winning new orders in tender procedures where the mostfavourable-price bids are successful keep the profit margins on a low level. Furthermore, execution of awarded orders is bound with the building materials price risk, as price changes may have adverse influence on contract profitability. Instead of introducing provisions which would improve organization of the procurement market, more restrictions are introduced to regulations, which increase the existing overbalance to the advantage of investors. It is becoming a norm to transfer to a contractor the risk of financing projects during their execution, by invoicing at long intervals, extended payment terms or increasing requirements for financial security of project execution. In performing its business operations the group is exposed to various risks, such as: - market risk (including foreign exchange risk, change in fair value or cash flow caused by changes of interest rate and price risk); - credit risk; - liquidity risk. Detailed description of risks is presented in chapter 4 of additional information to the consolidated financial statements for H1 2013. Risk management is a process of identification, evaluation, management and control of potential occurrences or situations, aiming at provision of reasonable assurance that organisation s objectives will be accomplished. Risk management is focused on limiting the risks and protecting against their impact. The Management of the parent establishes the general rules for risk management and policies for specific risk areas. 3. MARKET SITUATION - SALES AND PROCUREMENT 3.1 Sales destinations The activity of the group is concentrated mainly in the Polish market. Because of difficulties encountered by the construction industry in recent years and deteriorating economic situation in the Polish market the group focused on building up its competitiveness in foreign markets and systematic increase of exports. Export sales in H1 2013 which included supplies within the European Union and to the countries outside the EU generated the revenue of 126 529 thousand PLN, which accounted for 33.0% of total sales revenues, whereas the H1 2012 exports generated 26.7% of total revenues. The group s exports in H1 2013 increased by 7.5% compared with the six months of 2012. 27

3.3 Sources of supply In H1 2013 the sources of supply did not change much as compared with previous years. The group does not depend on one or several suppliers, whose share in sales revenues would exceed 10%. However, keeping in mind the necessity of cutting costs the group is looking for new suppliers of materials who would offer more favourable purchasing conditions. 4.
