Document:
We have been appointed by C.N.T.E.E. Transelectrica S.A. („the Company”) to report on the information included in the Current Report from 14 September 2018, issued by the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Issuers of financial instruments law no. 24/2017 (“Law no. 24/2017”) and of the Regulation no. 5/2018 of the Financial Supervisory Authority („ASF”) (“Report” or “Current Report”).
Current Report has been prepared by the Company’s management for the purpose to report to ASF in accordance with the provisions of art. 82 from Law no. 24/2017 and Regulation no. 5/2018.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Current Report and for the transaction reported included in the Current Report, in accordance with art. 82 from Law no. 24/2017 and Regulation no. 5/2018, and for the information presented in the Report.
This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Current Report that is free of material misstatement, due to fraud or error. Also, this responsibility includes keeping adequate supporting documents regarding the Current Report. Management is responsible for preventing and detecting fraud and ensuring compliance with the legislation and regulations in force.
Our responsibility is to analyze the reported transaction included by the Company in the Current Report and to report in the form of an independent conclusion of limited assurance, based on the evidence obtained. We conducted the engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements („ISAE”) 3000 as adopted by the Romanian Financial Auditors Chamber regarding the assurance engagements, other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information. This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements, including independence requirements, and plan and perform our procedures in order to obtain a limited assurance level of whether the transaction included in the Current Reports is in accordance, in all material respects, with art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017 and of Regulation no. 5/2018.
The procedures selected by us depend on our understanding of the Current Report and of other circumstances of the engagement, as well as our considerations on areas where material misstatements may occur. In developing our understanding on the Current Report and on the transaction reported in the Current Report we took into consideration the Company’s internal control relevant to the preparation and presentation of the Current Report in accordance with the provisions of art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017 and Regulation no. 5/2018 in order to establish the procedures that are appropriate in these circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing a conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control for the preparation and fair presentation of the Company's Current Report and transaction presented in the Current Report.
Limited assurance is narrower than absolute or reasonable assurance. The procedures for obtaining evidence for a limited assurance engagement are more restricted than in a reasonable assurance engagement, and therefore the level of assurance obtained is lower than in a reasonable assurance engagement.
As part of this engagement, we have not performed audit or review of the Current Report and on the transaction presented in the Current Report in accordance with International Standards on Auditing or International Standards on Review Engagements adopted by the Chamber of Financial Auditors of Romania, nor on the sources from which the Current Report and transaction presented in the Current Report were extracted. Our procedures were only performed in connection with the Current Report. We have not performed other additional procedures to verify whether the Company reported all contracts with managers, employees, shareholders, as well as their affiliated entities, to be reported according to Art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017 with subsequent amendments for the period July 1 - December 31, 2018.
· We have obtained and examined the offers received by the Company within the acquisition procedure organized according to the Law no. 99/2016 on sectorial acquisitions, GD 394/2016 approving Methodological Norms for application of the provisions related to the award of the public sectorial contract/standard form from Law no. 99/2016 on the sectorial acquisitions, Law 101/2016 on remedies and remedies in the matter of awarding public procurement contracts, sectorial contracts and concession contracts for works and services concession, as well as for the organization and functioning of the National Council of the Complaints Procedure, as well as the report of the related procedure drawn up in connection with the contract included in the Current Report.
Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, nothing came to our attention that causes to believe that the transaction reported in the Current Report dated 14 September 2018 is not in accordance, in all material aspects, with art. 82 of Law no. 24/2017 and Regulation no. 5/2018.
Our report is solely issued for the purpose stated in the first paragraph hereof and for the Company’s Directorate information and for the information of Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) and ASF, and is not to be used for any other purpose. Our report should not be regarded as suitable for use by any party wishing to acquire rights against us other than the Company for any purpose or in any context. Any party other than the Company that obtains access to our report or a copy of the report and chooses to rely on our report (or part thereof), should do so at their own risk. Our engagement was performed in order to report to the Directorate of the Company on those aspects that need to be reported in an independent report of limited assurance, and for no other purpose. Our report relates only to the Current Report mentioned above and does not extend to any other reports of the Company.
