16.1 Change in impairment losses on receivables

The amounts resulting from recognition or reversal of impairment losses on receivables are presented under Other income or Other expenses (the principal portion) and under Finance income or Finance costs (the default interest portion). In the statement of comprehensive income, recognised and reversed impairment losses on receivables are presented on a net basis under: Other income/expenses (in accordance with the adopted accounting policy the Group offsets corresponding items of Other income and Other expenses in line with Section 34 and 35 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements).

Recognised impairment losses included PLN 3,489 thousand in respect of the principal (2015: PLN 8,094 thousand) and PLN 547 thousand in respect of interest (2015: PLN 505 thousand).

Reversed impairment losses included PLN 1,935 thousand in respect of the principal (2015: PLN 10,021 thousand) and PLN 559 thousand in respect of interest (2015: PLN 899 thousand).

In 2016, the Group disclosed the recognised and reversed impairment losses on the principal amount of receivables under other expenses, in the amount of PLN 1,554 thousand, including: PLN 3,489 thousand under recognised impairment losses, and PLN 1,935 thousand under impairment loss reversal (see Note 9.4).

In 2015, the Group disclosed the recognised and reversed impairment losses on the principal amount of receivables under other income, in the amount of PLN 1,927 thousand, including: PLN 8,094 thousand under recognised impairment losses, and PLN 10,021 thousand under impairment loss reversal (see Note 9.3).

No impairment losses were recognised on past due receivables because they are secured against credit risk with a mortgage, pledge, insurance policy, bank guarantee or surety.

As at December 31st 2016 and December 31st 2015, the share of trade receivables from the Group’s five largest customers as at the end of the reporting period was 32% of total trade receivables (individually: 2%–11%). In the Group’s opinion, with the exception of receivables from the above-mentioned customers, there is no material concentration of credit risk. The Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk as at the end of the reporting period is best represented by the carrying amounts of those instruments.

16.2 Finance lease receivables

The Group has developed and operates the “LOTOS Family” Franchise Programme, which defines the procedures for managing service stations. The Group has entered into franchise agreements with entities operating service stations at their own risk and for their own account (Partners). Receivables under franchise agreements represent mainly expenditure on the design of DOFO service stations operated by dealers under agreements executed for periods from 5 to 10 years.
