CEO statement
In the past year, we have successfully continued the development of DelfinGroup and fulfilled our mission - to create
and provide innovative and custom financial solutions for every client. We aim to be a leader in the fast-growing,
dynamic, and changing financial technology industry, attracting the most vital talent and offering widely used and
modern financial products. We provide our customers with customized online and face-to-face services, allowing
citizens to choose more understandable and convenient ways of receiving services. DelfinGroup has always paid
increased attention to making our services available to the widest possible part of society, including in the regions
of Latvia.
Although the year 2022 began with the gradual easing of pandemic restrictions, DelfinGroup was able to resume
complete face-to-face services, which allowed us to look hopefully into the future, on February 24 of last year, the
whole world was shaken by the news of Russia's start of a full-scale war in Ukraine. Russia's invasion of the
neighbouring country caused a global energy crisis, which resulted in an economic recession, inflation, and
uncertainty in the business environment. This meant adapting to the new situation in the Group’s main business
segments. Digitalization was developed in the pawn lending segment, an online store was renewed in the retail trade
segment, and data science was improved in the consumer loan segment for more effective customer evaluation.
One of our strategic ambitions is to promote the circulation of pre-owned goods, promoting the circular economy
culture in society. We have concluded that our society is still developing the habit of reusing goods, thus reducing
consumption and encouraging thoughtful use of natural resources. An overwhelming majority of Latvian residents
continue to keep items in their households that are not used and that could be put into circulation, maximizing the
value of the goods and increasing their life cycle thus lowering CO2 emissions. It is essential to strengthen new
habits in our society regarding the further use of pre-owned goods, to create an appropriate infrastructure and system
that would motivate people to get involved and become a crucial part of the circular economy. That is why the
Banknote concept developed by DelfinGroup offers both in-person and remotely the opportunity to sell or buy
valuable things for secondary use. We have created Lietots. Pārbaudīts initiative, within the framework of which
every item that enters the Banknote store is professionally checked and, if necessary, repaired. This initiative allows
us to offer a guarantee on every item we sell.
The efficiency of Banknote's environmentally friendly business model, which we have chosen and purposefully
developed, can be seen in the high demand for new and pre-owned goods. Thanks to this, we are actively developing
another business line - purchasing of goods. We look for suppliers, cooperate with international partners, and buy
goods from private individuals to offer a wide assortment of goods to our branch and online store customers.
Considering the unique advantages and global trends, DelfinGroup aims to become the primary ambassadors of the
circular economy in the region, promoting the circulation of pre-owned and slightly pre-owned goods and the rational
use of resources and creating public awareness of an environmentally friendly lifestyle. By introducing solutions
appropriate to the era, in 2022, we have renewed the online store for the sale of pre-owned and tested goods -
veikals.Banknote.lv. It is one of the largest circular economy online stores in Latvia and throughout the Baltics, with
more than 45 000 tested goods.
Although one of the strategic priorities of the Group is business digitalization, we are purposefully developing both
directions - both online and in-person services. To promote the strengthening of circular economy principles in trade,
in 2022, we continued to improve the Banknote circular economy store network. At the same time, the development
of the branch network is also promoted by society's high demand for convenient financial services and in-person
trade of pre-owned goods, contrary to the general tendency to close various types of service provision locations. We
see that the demand for face-to-face services remains high, especially in the regions of Latvia, where the availability
of various services is generally limited. There are more than 90 Banknote financial service and product sales points
in Latvia, with a comprehensive representation directly in regions and small towns. In some places, our branches
are the only or one of the few dealers of electrical goods and jewellery and, at the same time, a financial services
institution.
Management report
AS DelfinGroup Annual accounts and Consolidated
annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022
(translation from Latvian)
There is a feeling of a job well done regarding the achieved business results. In 2022, DelfinGroup issued loans
amounting to 80.3 million euros, which is 62% more than in 2021, while the retail of pre-owned goods increased by
27%, reaching 11.4 million euros. The results show that our operational strategy, developing versatile financial
solutions, is correct. This year too, we will place great emphasis on developing the circular economy concept and
trade in pre-owned goods. We assess the achieved financial results positively. They were facilitated by both the
Group’s strengthened market positions in the main business segments, the demand for simple and customer-
oriented financial services, and our ability to adapt to the challenges of the global economy. As a result, the Group's
profit before taxes increased by 45% in 2022, reaching 7.3 million euros, while revenues reached 35.8 million euros.
On the other hand, the Group's loan portfolio has increased by 54% since the end of 2021, reaching 67.5 million
euros.
Entering the regulated market of Nasdaq Riga in 2021, DelfinGroup created a unique dividend policy for the Baltic
stock market - the Company promised to pay shareholders quarterly dividends of up to 50% of the quarterly profit.
In 2022, we fulfilled our promise by making 6 dividend payments of more than EUR 5 million or 0.1197 euros per
share, which provided the Company's shareholders with an excellent yield of 8.1%.
In response to geopolitical and other external conditions, the situation in the capital markets has also changed.
Without a doubt, external factors and the cost of financing the growing loan portfolio also affect DelfinGroup
operations. Still, over the years, we have successfully diversified funding sources for attracting capital and gained
investors' trust. Although the cost of capital is currently higher, the Group continues to raise it through bonds and an
investment platform successfully.
To take care of the environment, we are gradually giving preference to energy generated from renewable resources
in a nature-friendly way. Thus, in 2022, DelfinGroup central office was fully supplied with green electricity. In the
area of corporate governance, we continued to be open and transparent with our investors, employees, regulators,
suppliers, and the wider public. For example, last year, we conducted two webinars for investors and interested
parties about the Group’s financial and business results; five shareholder meetings were held, where shareholders
were invited to express their opinion both in person and remotely, and we also participated in several events
organized by the Fintech Latvia Association, where DelfinGroup experts shared their experience and knowledge.
We aim to create a sustainable society, provide people with opportunities, and promote inclusion, diversity, equality,
and well-being. We have financially supported several disadvantaged social groups - seniors, children, and low-
income families - for several years. For example, in 2022, we increased the donation amount to improve the
opportunities for senior citizens, provided the Children's Hospital with a bicycle ergometer, and supported families
in need.
Responding immediately to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, from the first days of the war in February 2022,
DelfinGroup actively supports Ukraine - its defenders and the country's residents who suffered in the war or were
forced to flee. In 2022 we have donated more than 250,000 euros to the Children's Hospital Foundation, the
Entrepreneurs for Peace Foundation, and the TEV Association.
The team determines the success of any company. In the past year, we have significantly strengthened the
management team of DelfinGroup with strong industry professionals and have focused on increasing employee
motivation. In 2022, to continue developing simple, customer-adapted, and technology-based financial services, we
have created a new position - Chief Innovation Manager, whose task is to promote introducing innovative fintech
technology solutions in the Group to participate in the creation of strategic development. In addition, as part of the
long-term employee motivation program, we introduced a staff option program to promote belonging to the Group.
We value every employee's contribution to the Group’s development, so we provide the opportunity to voluntarily
participate in the staff option program for employees at all job levels who have worked in the Company for at least
12 months. Now our employees will be able to earn additional wages along with the Group’s development. A total
of 450 thousand Company shares will be issued as part of the program.
Based on the business and financial results of 2022, as well as setting the Group’s strategic priorities and forecasts
until 2025, we are in a solid position to continue the growth of DelfinGroup.
I want to thank every investor, client, and employee who believed in the DelfinGroup story and continues to do so.
Thank you for your trust!

Principles of alternative performance measures
Dividend yield = dividends paid per share / share price at the end of the period * 100.
Net loan portfolio = non-current loans and receivables + current loans and receivables.
Revenue = net sales + interest income and similar income.
EBITDA margin = (profit before tax + interest expenses and similar expenses + depreciation of property, plant and
equipment and amortization of intangible assets + depreciation of right-of-use assets) / (net sales + interest income
and similar income) * 100.
EBIT margin = (profit before tax + interest expenses and similar expenses) / (net sales + interest income and similar
income) * 100.
Net profit margin = net profit / (net sales + interest income and similar income) * 100.
ROE = net profit / ((total equity as at start of the period + total equity as at period end) / 2) * 100.
Current ratio = total current assets / total short-term liabilities * 100.
Capitalization ratio = total equity / (non-current loans and receivables + current loans and receivables) * 100.
Interest coverage ratio = (profit before tax + interest expenses and similar expenses) / interest expenses and similar
expenses
Equity ratio = total equity / total assets * 100.
Cost to income ratio = (selling expenses + administrative expenses + other operating expenses debt sale results)
/ (net sales cost of sales + interest income and similar income interest expenses and similar expenses + other
operating income) * 100.
Strategy
DelfinGroup aims to be a leader in the fast-growing, dynamic, and changing financial technology industry by
attracting the most vital talent, offering widely used and advanced financial products, and maintaining efficient and
transparent management processes.
By implementing and developing modern technological solutions, DelfinGroup can develop and offer modern and
customer-oriented products and services with excellent user experience (UX), thereby becoming a significant market
player. Furthermore, by continuing targeted technology and product development, DelfinGroup aims to become
customers' first choice for financial services.
DelfinGroup has already significantly changed the pawnshop industry by introducing a modern approach to providing
pawnshop services. However, the goal is to further transform the pawnshop industry, which has not been the focus
of digital transformation until now, and develop the pawnshop product in a digital environment, thus offering a pawn
loan that meets the needs of customers, innovatively and conveniently. Therefore, we want to strengthen our
leadership position and be a game changer in the pawnshop industry.
Taking into account the unique advantages and global trends, DelfinGroup aims to become the main ambassador
of the circular economy in the region, promoting the circulation of pre-owned and slightly pre-owned goods,
introducing modern solutions in the online store and branches, as well as promoting the rational use of resources
and creating public awareness of the environment-friendly lifestyle.
Targets
By following DelfinGroup mission of creating and providing innovative and custom financial solutions for every client,
we will be able to ensure DelfinGroup long-term growth in value. By creating innovative and custom solutions for
customer needs, we have achieved rapid growth in recent years, which has allowed DelfinGroup to strengthen its
position in the Latvian market in all three main business segments.

Management report (CONTINUED)
The results achieved in 2022 confirm that the Group is operating in the right direction, which ensures stable business
results. By continuing to invest in the development, DelfinGroup expects to significantly improve business results
and maintain the most important indicators at a sustainable level until the end of 2025. In 2025, DelfinGroup plans
to reach a net loan portfolio of 100 million euros, an average increase of 14% per year. Also, the Group plans to
double both EBITDA and profit indicators by 2025. In the following years, however, DelfinGroup intends to maintain
a return on equity (ROE) above 30%, an equity ratio above 20%, and a cost-to-income ratio below 45%, ensuring
the Group's efficient operation.
Until 2025, DelfinGroup plans to continue to ensure regular dividend payments, which would be more than 50% of
the Group's annual profit within the year, similar to what has been done in 2022.

Consumer lending segment
At the beginning of the year, as the restrictions of Covid-19 eased, the war started by Russia in Ukraine once again
created uncertainty in society and the economy. As a result, shortly after the start of the war, there was a greater
caution among customers when choosing new loans. However, this trend was short-lived, and as DelfinGroup results
show, customer interest in customized and innovative financial solutions remained stable.
However, due to the war, rising energy prices and inflation led to adjustments in customer perceptions and habits.
The most significant impact was observed in September, before the start of the new heating season, when there
was a pending position in receiving consumer loans and more active repayment of existing loans. Also, due to the
general increase in prices, there is a gradual increase in the requested loan amount.
Continuing the trend of previous years, market consolidation was also observed last year, i.e., the departure or
merger of smaller market participants, which the licensing fees of market participants in Latvia can partly explain.
As a result, stable companies will strengthen the consumer loan market, improving the industry's overall reputation.
Despite the unclear economic situation, the demand for loans remained strong in the consumer lending segment,
which is also confirmed by the results achieved by DelfinGroup - in 2022, 60.8 million euros were issued in new
consumer loans, the highest result in the Group's history. Also, according to the Consumer Rights Protection Center
of Latvia data, in the first half of 2022 (the latest available data), the total loan portfolio of consumer lenders had
increased. However, as demand for loans remained strong, DelfinGroup followed a more prudent customer
evaluation policy, financing lower-risk customers to ensure sustainable customer loan repayments and maintain a
high-quality loan portfolio.
Achieving notable results in the segment of consumer loans was also helped by the investments made in the
digitization of products, ensuring timely receipt of services online, on the internet, as well as in the mobile application.
Furthermore, a significant contribution to achieving results was also brought by initiating broader cooperation with
loan comparison platforms in Latvia, creating a network of cooperation partners that ensures more effective customer
reach. Also, considering customer demand, last year, the maximum loan amount for consumer loans was increased
to EUR 10 000, instead of the previous EUR 7 000, while the maximum amount of the credit line was increased to
EUR 5 000, instead of the previous EUR 3 000.
Pawn lending segment
A significant contribution to the development of the pawn lending segment in 2022 was made by the lifting of Covid-
19 restrictions starting on April 1, as a result of which, more than one person could stay in the face-to-face branches
at the same time, as was the case during the restriction period. Until now, the face-to-face factor in the pawnshop
business is essential when evaluating the product. According to the Consumer Rights Protection Centre data, the
industry experienced a decline. Still, in the first half of 2022, the industry's overall growth was already observed. Like
the rest of the industry, lifting Covid-19 restrictions significantly impacted the development of DelfinGroup pawn
shops. Last year, pawn loans for 19.5 million euros were issued, exceeding the pre-pandemic results.
Trends in the economy in 2022 also affected the pawnshop loan segment. Above all, rising commodity prices due
to inflation also meant higher collateral values and loans issued against them. The pawn loan issuance against gold
in 2022 is also worth noting. Considering the increasing inflation, the value of gold also increased, which became
more sought-after collateral for pawn shops. As a result, loans issued against gold collateral increased almost twice
compared to the previous year.
Similar to the consumer lending segment, the pawnshop business in Latvia also experienced smaller pawnshops
exiting the market or merging with others last year. As a result, some larger companies with a better reputation have
established themselves in the market, raising the reputation of the industry and the quality of services. The year
2022 was also significant for DelfinGroup in terms of company acquisitions. At the beginning of the year, the takeover
of AS Moda Kapitāls, one of the largest pawnshop chains in Latvia, was completed. DelfinGroup acquired AS Moda
Kapitāls' pawnshop loan portfolio, also expanding its client base. As well as last year, a deal was concluded on the
takeover of the credit portfolios of six pawnshop branches that were part of the Finance 360 pawnshop association.
Among them, the loan portfolios of branches in Riga, Liepāja and Rēzekne were taken over.

Management report (CONTINUED)
Like other industries, the pawnshop industry is also at the forefront of digital transformation. Today, customers are
less and less willing to spend time visiting the service provider in person. Therefore, implementing digitalization
processes is the most critical driver of the industry in the coming years. It is digital solutions that will help the
pawnshop industry to reach new customers and take a strong position among other types of loans that are currently
available online. The implementation of digitalization processes has also started in DelfinGroup pawn lending
segment. First, the preliminary evaluation online of the product, where the customer can determine indicative value
before going to the branch, should be highlighted. In the coming years, DelfinGroup plans to digitize the full-cycle
pawnshop services, as a result of which customers will be able to pledge their goods and receive a loan entirely
remotely, which will open up more opportunities to grow both DelfinGroup competitiveness in this business segment
and its market share.
Retail of pre-owned goods segment
Considering the growing public interest in the circular economy model and extending the life of goods, similar to the
rest of DelfinGroup business segments, the retail of pre-owned and slightly pre-owned goods segment also
experienced significant growth in 2022. The sale of goods, including the sale of pledges taken over at the pawnshop,
reached 11.4 million euros, a 27% increase compared to 2021.
In general, 2022 is the year of recovery of the retail segment after the restrictions of Covid-19. Customer interest is
returned after visiting brick-and-mortar stores to view and test products in person before making a purchase.
However, the DelfinGroup business model is suitable for such changes in customer habits, as the traded goods are
available in the vast network of Banknote branches and in the online store. Thus DelfinGroup is accessible to a
broader range of customers with different shopping habits. As the prices of consumer goods rose last year,
customers had to think more about their purchases, as the cost of covering basic needs increased significantly.
However, against this background, the demand for used and tested goods offered by DelfinGroup remained stable,
and customers appreciated the opportunity to buy the necessary goods at a lower price. A significant contribution
was also made by developing the circular economy and public awareness of extending the life of goods.
Consequently, people began to choose more sustainable solutions for purchasing goods, supporting the
development of the green course.
In 2022, the retail trade segment of pre-owned goods remained the focus of DelfinGroup activity. Last year, the most
important work was done on the Banknote online store, which was renewed. As a result, the user experience on this
page was improved, as well as various other solutions were created that will ensure the competitiveness of the online
store in the future, such as by expanding payment options, card acceptance was introduced, as well as delivery
options using parcel lockers of cooperation partners, which are available throughout the territory of Latvia, facilitating
the purchase of goods.
In previous years, the primary sources of acquisition of pre-owned and slightly pre-owned goods for DelfinGroup
were the purchase of goods directly from the customer, as well as the realization of unredeemed pawn loan pledges,
while in 2022, work began on expanding cooperation with various cooperation partners (business-to-business), from
which bought slightly used and sometimes even new products that customers returned to them within the fourteen
day return period, or demo products that were displayed in dealer stores for testing. The expansion of this type of
cooperation ensures that the quantity of high-quality and relatively new goods at Banknote branches and the online
store increases at more favourable prices than if customers bought them new.

Management report (CONTINUED)
Branches
During the period from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022, the Group continued to work on branch network
efficiency. As at 31 December 2022, the Group had 91 branch in 38 cities in Latvia (31.12.2021 - 93 branches in 38
cities).
Risk management
The Group is not exposed to foreign exchange rate risk because the basic transaction currency is the Euro. Majority
of the funding of the Group consists of fixed coupon rate bonds and loans, so that the Group is not exposed to
variable interest rate risk. Accurate application of the prudent strategies chosen has allowed the Group to
successfully manage its financial risks, particularly the liquidity and credit risk. All Group transactions are performed
in Latvia, the Group has no counterparties in Russia and Belarus thus the impact of the war in Ukraine and the
associated sanctions has insignificant effect on the Company’s operations.
Distribution of the profit proposed by the Company
As the Company paid out 50% of the net profit of each quarter in 2022 quarterly dividends, the Management Board
proposes to allocate the Group's net profit of 2022 to retained earnings.
The Corporate Governance Report and the Remuneration Report for 2022 has also been submitted to AS Nasdaq
Riga together with this separate and consolidated Annual Financial Report for year ended 31 December 2022 by
AS DelfinGroup.

AS DelfinGroup Annual accounts and Consolidated
annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2022

Notes
(1) Accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared based on the accounting policies and measurement principles as set out below.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European
Union (EU). The financial statements are prepared based on historic cost method.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the information on contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the revenues and costs
for the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the information available to the management regarding the current events and actions,
the actual results may differ from the estimates used. Critical assumptions and judgements are described in the relevant sections of the Notes to the
financial statements.
These annual financial statements are prepared and disclosed on a consolidated basis and on a standalone basis. The following subsidiaries are
included in the consolidation: SIA ViziaFinance (100%) for the period ended 31 December 2022.
The former subsidiary SIA Banknote commercial properties (100%) has been liquidated on 21 June 2021. The assets of the SIA Banknote commercial
properties were transferred to AS DelfinGroup as liquidation quota. The former subsidiary SIA ExpressInkasso (100%) has been liquidated on 09
September 2021 (excluded from the Enterprise register on 14 October 2021). The assets of the SIA ExpressInkasso were transferred to AS
DelfinGroup as liquidation quota. The former subsidiary SIA REFIN (100%) has been liquidated on 01 December 2021. The assets of the SIA REFIN
were transferred to AS DelfinGroup as liquidation quota.
The Executive Board approved these separate and consolidated financial statements for issue on 30 April 2023. Shareholders of the Company have
the power to amend the financial statements after their issue, if necessary.
Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new standards or amendments to standards are effective (some of which are not yet been endorsed by EU) for annual periods beginning
after 1 January 2022 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new standards or amended standards in
preparing these consolidated financial statements.
The following new and amended standards are not expected to have a significant impact on the Group’s consolidated financial statements.
IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts and amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1).
Definition of Accounting Estimate (Amendments to IAS 8).
Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2).
Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes.
Restatement in comparative figures due to correction of errors
(a) The Management has identified a classification error on pawn loans while preparing Group’s financial statements. The error relates to
incorrect classification of pawn loans as Inventory and related sales of collateral as Net sales. The error resulted in overstatement of the
Group’s and the Company’s Net sales by EUR 1 140 031, Cost of sales by EUR 805 281 in statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31
December 2021 and Inventory by EUR 694 792 in balance sheet as of 31 December 2021 and by EUR 681 817 in balance sheet as of 1
January 2021 and understatement of Interest income and similar income by EUR 334 750 in statement of profit and loss for the year ended
31 December 2021and Loans and receivables by EUR 694 792 in balance sheet as of 31 December 2021 and by EUR 681 817 in balance
sheet as of 1 January 2021.
(b) In these financial statements, the Group and the Company has improved ECL calculation model. The Group and the Company have included
defaults from debt sale before payments are past due for more than 90 days in probability of default calculation. Model improvement resulted
in an identified understatement of Credit loss expenses by EUR 417 660 (EUR 176 927 for the Company) in statement of profit or loss for
the year ended 31 December 2021, overstatement of Loans and receivables by EUR 387 290 (EUR 128 279 for the Company) in balance
sheet as of 31 December 2021 and understatement by EUR 30 370 (EUR 48 648 for the Company) in balance sheet as of 1 January 2021.
(c) The Management has reconsidered the judgment in respect of pawn loan accounting and come to conclusion that pawn loans do not meet
solely payment of principal and interest (SPPI) requirements, thus prior period pawn loan measurement according to amortized cost were
erroneous. The Group and the Company recognizes and subsequently measures pawn loans at fair value. There is no difference in
comparative figures of Loans and receivables, and Interest income and similar income due to this error.

Notes (continued)
(1) Accounting policies (continued)
(d) The Management has identified an error on interest revenue calculation on debt financial assets by applying effective interest rate method
while preparing Group’s and the Company’s financial statements. The error resulted in understatement of Interest income and similar income
by EUR 211 567 (EUR 151 041 for the Company) in statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 December 2021 and Loans and
receivables by EUR 485 951 (EUR 358 223 for the Company) in balance sheet as at 31 December 2021 and by EUR 274 384 (EUR 207
182 for the Company) in balance sheet as of 1 January 2021. To comply with requirements of IFRS 9, the Group and the Company have
recalculated interest income and similar income.
(e) The Management has identified a classification error on accounting of e-shop sales while preparing Group’s financial statements. The error
relates to incorrect recognition of e-shop markup in net sales. The error resulted in understatement of the Group’s and the Company’s Net
sales by EUR 294 565, Cost of sales by EUR 294 565 in statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2021.
(f) In these financial statements, the Group and the Company have changed the presentation of losses from debt sales. In statement of profit
or loss for the year ended 31 December 2021 losses from debt sales was presented under Other operating expenses. In these financial
statements, for better presentation of financial information, losses from debt sales were reclassified to Credit loss expenses. The
reclassification resulted in understatement of Credit loss expenses and overstatement of Other operating expenses by EUR 165 328 (EUR
128 077 for the Company) in statement of profit and loss for the year ended 31 December 2021.
(g) In these financial statements, the Group and the Company have changed the short-term, long-term split of Bonds issued. The reclassification
resulted in understatement of short-term Bonds issued and overstatement of long-term Bonds issued by EUR 931 039 in the Group’s and
the Company’s balance sheet as at 31 December 2021.
The aforementioned corrections were performed by restating each of the affected Group financial statements line items for the prior period, as follows:

(b) Consolidation principles
Subsidiaries, which are those entities which are controlled by the Group, are consolidated. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control
ceases. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated in full; unrealised losses
are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, accounting policies for
subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(c) Recognition of revenue and expenses
- Net sales
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when or as the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised
good or service to a customer. The transfer of control is based mainly on transferring risks and rewards according to the delivery terms. The Group
principally satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time; the amounts of revenue recognized relating to performance obligations satisfied over
time are not significant. When, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied, the Group recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is
allocated to that performance obligation.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The
transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract based on standalone selling prices of the goods or services promised.
Revenue is presented net of indirect sales taxes such as value added tax, penalties and discounts.
Income from sale of goods and precious metals contains sale of non-durable goods and precious metals at Group’s branch network and on-line shop.
Other income includes revenue from the provision of pawnshop services commission income on storage and sale of non-performing pawn loan
collateral.

Notes (continued)
(1) Accounting policies (continued)
- Interest income and similar income
The Group calculates interest revenue on debt financial assets measured at amortized cost by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of financial
assets other than credit-impaired assets. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of
the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation
takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the
instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest rate, but not future credit losses. The carrying amount of the financial asset or financial
liability is adjusted if the Group revises its estimates of payments or receipts. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original effective
interest rate and the change in carrying amount is recorded as interest revenue or expense.
When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired, the Group calculates interest revenue by applying the effective interest rate to the net amortised cost
of the financial asset. If the financial assets cures and is no longer credit-impaired, the Group reverts to calculating interest revenue on a gross basis.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, the Group calculates interest revenue by calculating the credit-adjusted EIR and
applying that rate to the amortised cost of the asset. The credit adjusted EIR is the interest rate that, at original recognition, discounts the estimated
future cash flows (including credit losses) to the amortised cost of the POCI assets.
The Group calculates interest income on pawn loans by applying the nominal interest rate to the gross carrying amount of pawn loan asset. Interest
income is calculated for the performing pawn loan portfolio and is stopped at the moment when pawn loan become non-performing.
- Interest expenses and similar expenses
The effective interest rate of a financial liability is calculated on initial recognition of financial liability. In calculating interest expense, the effective interest
rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the amortised cost of the liability. The effective interest rate is revised as a result of periodic re-estimation
of cash flows of floating-rate instruments to reflect movements in market rates of interest.
- Other income
Other income is recognised based on accruals principle and when the services have been rendered.
- Expenses
Expenses are recognised based on accruals principle in the period of origination, irrespective of the moment of payment.
(d) Foreign currency
All transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the date of the respective transaction.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement of the respective period. At the balance sheet date the
rates set by the Bank of Latvia were:
31.12.2022
31.12.2021
1 EUR
1 EUR
USD
1.07
1.13
(e) Fair value measurement
‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a
liability reflects its non-performance risk.
When one is available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is
regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing
basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and
minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account
in pricing a transaction.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price i.e. the fair value of the consideration
given or received. If the Group determines that the fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced
neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique for which any unobservable inputs are
judged to be insignificant in relation to the difference, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference
between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is recognised in profit or loss on an appropriate
basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.

(translation from Latvian)
Notes (continued)
(1) Accounting policies (continued)
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Where, in the opinion of the Management, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities differ materially from their book values such fair values are
separately disclosed in the notes to the accounts. See also note 30.
(f) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(g) Employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Shortterm employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group
has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
- Share-based payment arrangements
The grantdate fair value of equitysettled sharebased payment (SBP) arrangements granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense,
with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the
number of awards for which the related service and nonmarket performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately
recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and nonmarket performance conditions at the vesting date. For
sharebased payment awards with nonvesting conditions, the grantdate fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions
and there is no trueup for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(h) Intangible assets (including goodwill)
All intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Intangible assets are recorded at historic cost net of amortization and permanent diminution in value.
The Group has a detailed intangible assets capitalisation policy covering accounting for development projects. The Group incurs costs for development
of software and similar items, which may be capitalized. Capitalized expenditure can be either purchased or internally developed. Only those assets
are capitalised that are separately identifiable, they are controlled by the Group, for which probable future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group, and cost exceeds the minimum threshold (150 EUR) set by the Group shall be recognized. No intangible asset costs arising from
the research phase of a project are capitalized. Expenditure on research is expensed when incurred.
Amortisation commences once the item is in the location and conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management and has been accepted by the business owner. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write down each asset to its estimated
residual value over its estimated useful life as follows:
years
Patents, trademarks and similar rights
3 5
Other intangible assets (including software)
3 5
Internally developed software
3 5
Goodwill is initially measured at cost and arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries being the excess of the fair value of the aggregate consideration
transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If
this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the gain is recognised in profit or loss statement immediately.
The recognised goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. The Group tests goodwill
for impairment at least annually and whenever there are indications that goodwill may be impaired. Any impairment expense is recognised immediately
as an expense in profit or loss statement. If subsidiaries are disposed, gains or losses on the disposal include the carrying amount of goodwill relating
to the subsidiary sold.
The residual values, remaining useful lives and methods of amortisation are reviewed and, if required, adjusted annually.

(i) Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historic cost net of depreciation and
permanent diminution in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write down each asset to its estimated residual value over its
estimated useful life as follows:
years
Buildings and structures
20
Other fixed assets
3 5
Leasehold improvements
1 19
Right-of-use premises
1 19
Right-of-use vehicles
3 4
The residual values, remaining useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed and, if required, adjusted annually. Property, plant and equipment
recognition is terminated in case of its liquidation or when no future benefits are expected in connection with the utilisation of the respective asset. Any
profit or loss connected with the termination of recognition (calculated as difference between the disposal gains and net book value as at the moment
of derecognition), is recognised in the profit or loss account in the period when derecognition occurs. Leasehold improvements are written down on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement and the term of the lease. Current repairs and maintenance
costs are charged to profit and loss account in the period when the respective costs are incurred.
(j) Investments in the subsidiaries and associated companies in the separate financial statements
In the financial statements the investments in subsidiary companies (SIA ViziaFinance as at 31 December 2022) are carried at cost less impairment.
Cost represents consideration paid for acquisition of subsidiaries as well as additional contributions to share capital of subsidiaries. Impairment is
defined as the difference between the cost and recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of the respective asset's fair value less the costs
to sell and the value in use.
(l) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Inventories are measured using the FIFO method. The Group assesses at each
balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that inventories are impaired and makes provisions for slow-moving or damaged inventories.
Inventories loss is recognised in the period such loss is identified, writing off the relevant inventory values to the period profit and loss account.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
(m) Trade and other receivables
Unsecured loans
Accounts receivable comprise loans and other receivables (other debtors, advances and deposits) that are non-derivative financial assets with fixed
or determinable payments. All loans and receivables are recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers and derecognised on repayments. Loans
are initially measured at their fair value. The Group subsequently measures consumer loans at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are
met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows;
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).
The Group is using a model for the recognition of impairment losses the expected credit losses (ECL) model. There is a ‘three stage’ approach which
is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the rules mean that entities will have to record an
immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables).
Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are as follows:
PD
The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only
happen at a certain time over the assessed period if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in the
portfolio.
EAD
The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in
the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or
otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, and accrued interest from missed payments.
LGD
The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based
on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including
from the realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD.

Notes (continued)
(1) Accounting policies (continued)
The expected credit loss is calculated as a function of PD, the exposure at default EAD and the loss given default LGD.
PD ratio is calculated as proportion of historic loan portfolio amount of loans that reaches the number of past due more than 90 days or have
been sold in debt sales.
LGD calculation is based on recovered funds for loans over 90 days or loans that have been sold in debt sales. Recovered funds are
discounted using the monthly effective interest rate.
The IFRS 9 impairment model uses a three-stage approach depending on whether the claim is performing or not and if the claim is performing, whether
a significant increase in credit risk has occurred.
1. Stage 1 12-month ECL applies to all existing claims, which have no signs of significant increase in credit risk. ECL will be computed using
12-month PD that represents the probability of default occurring over the next 12 months. For those assets with a remaining maturity of less
than 12 month, a PD is used that corresponds to remaining maturity.
2. Stage 2 applies to claims, which have sign/(s) of a significant increase in credit risk (delay days > 30 days but less than 90 days or
restructuring). The standard requires the computation of ECL based on lifetime PD that represents the probability of default occurring over
the remaining estimated life of the financial asset. Provisions are higher in this stage because of an increase in risk and the impact of a
longer time horizon being considered compared to 12 months in Stage 1. Restructured loans are kept in stage 2 for two successful payments
after the restructuring, which is assessed to be sufficient period to reflect absence of significant increase in credit risk vis-à-vis original credit
risk.
3. Stage 3 Financial assets are recognized in Stage 3 when there is objective evidence that the loan is impaired (delay days > 90 days).
Similar to Stage 2, the allowance for credit losses will continue to capture the lifetime ECL.
A settlement delay of 30 or more days is assessed based on their actual occurrence. The rest of the signs of increased risk and their impact have to be
analysed case by case and the change in a customer`s risk level has to be made based on management`s judgement. This assessment is symmetrical
in nature, allowing the credit risk of financial assets to move back to Stage 1 if the increase in credit risk has decreased since origination and is no
longer deemed to be significant.
Default or the possibility of it occurring in the future and can be divided into the following events:
Improbability of receiving payments. Based on objective evidence, it may be presumed that the client will be unable to settle all of the financial
obligations and the situation cannot be solved satisfactorily.
Payment delay. The contract is deemed to be non-performing if the client is no longer able or willing to fulfil payment obligations, e.g. upon
any of the following events: (a) payments are past due for more than 90 days; (b) the client does not respond to the payment reminders and
the desire to contact; (c) the client is bankrupt or deceased; (d) identity theft has been identified, i.e. misuse of the credit receiver`s identity.
The Group continuously monitors all assets subject to ECLs in order to identify if there has been significant increase in credit risk. If there is an increase,
relevant adjustments to ECL are made.
When loans cannot be recovered, they are written off and charged against allowances for loan impairment losses. They are not written off until all the
necessary legal procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss is finally determined.
The Group signed a contract with a third party for the receivable amounts regular debt sale to assign debtors for loans issued. Losses from these
transactions were recognised in the current period under other operating expenses.
The recoverability of other debtors, advances and deposits paid is valued on individual basis if there are any indications of net book value of the asset
exceeding its recoverable amount.
Any ECL on financial assets other than loan portfolio and loans to related companies is not significant.
Pawn loans
Pawn loans are non-recourse loans secured against a collateral (the pledge). If the customer does not redeem the collateral by repaying the secured
loan before the end of the contract, the Group is entitled to dispose of the goods to cover the outstanding balance of the loan. Pawn loans are recognised
when cash is advanced to borrowers and derecognised on the repayment for performing loans or sale of the collateral for non-performing loans.
Considering that that pawnshop loans do not meet the SPPI criteria, they are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value.
The pawn loan portfolio is divided in two categories: performing and non-performing loan portfolios. The performing loan portfolio comprises of loans
that are not yet due or loans that have been extended. The non-performing loan portfolio contains loans that have not been repaid on maturity and the
payment of which depends on the realization of the collateral.

(n) Leases
Group as lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The
Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use
assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The
cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the
commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of
the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.
Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment testing.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease
term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a
purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group
exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit
in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change
in in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment of the option to purchase the underlying asset.
The Group does not apply IASB practical expedient on COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions and adjusts both right-of-use assets and lease liabilities when
modifications of lease contracts occur.
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less
from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of
equipment that are considered of low value (i.e., below EUR 4.5 thousand). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are
recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(o) Taxes
The corporate income tax expense is included in the financial statements based on the management's calculations made in accordance with the
requirements of Latvian tax legislation. As of 1 January 2018, Corporate Income Tax is paid on distributed and notionally distributed profits.
The distributed and conditionally distributed profit is subject to a 20% gross tax or 20/80 of the net cost. Corporate income tax on dividend payments is
recognized in the income statement. According to law effective 25% tax is applied to non-business related expenses.
In Latvia deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognized starting from 2018. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised only in case if dividends from
subsidiaries are expected to be distributed.

Notes (continued)
(1) Accounting policies (continued)
(p) Borrowings
Initially borrowings are recognised at fair value amounting to the proceeds received net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings
are stated at amortised cost which is determined using the effective interest method. The difference between the proceeds received, net of transaction
costs and the redemption value of the borrowing is gradually recognized in the profit and loss account over the term of the borrowing.
(q) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, balances of current accounts with banks and short-
term deposits with a maturity term of up to 90 days.
(r) Payment of dividends
Dividends due to the shareholders are recognized in the financial statements as a liability in the period in which the shareholders approve the
disbursement of dividends.
(s) Financial risk management
(s1) Financial risk factors
The activities of the Group expose it to different financial risks:
(s1.1) foreign currency risk;
(s1.2) credit risk;
(s1.3) operational risk;
(s1.4) market risk;
(s1.5) liquidity risk.
The Group's overall risk management is focused on the uncertainty of financial markets and aims to reduce its adverse effects on the Company's
financial indicators. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is responsible for financial risk management. CFO identifies, assesses and seeks to find solutions
to avoid financial risks acting in close cooperation with other structural units of the Group.
(s1.1) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates mainly in the local market and its exposure to foreign exchange risk is not significant.
(s1.2) Credit risk
The Group has a credit risk concentration based on its operational specifics issuance of non-secured loans that is connected with an increased risk
of asset recoverability. The Group’s policies are developed in order to ensure maximum control procedures in the process of loan issuance, timely
identification of bad and doubtful debts and adequate provisioning for potential loss.
Regarding loan unsecured loan issuance, the Group has three methods of customer identification: (i) obtaining data that accredits the identity of a
natural person from a credit institution, (ii) verifying the customer's income, (iii) verifying the past and current obligations of the borrower. The Lending
Company compares the information from the application form with the information received from external sources. The Group performs an automated
credit check for those customers who have successfully completed the first four phases of the credit risk underwriting process. Its Risk and Data team
has considerable experience in adding the optimal combination of alternative and traditional data sources, and knowledge of how to use the data
collected for high-quality credit risk underwriting. The Group’s credit check involves a collection of traditional credit bureau data and income
information. The Group collects data from 4-5 external sources to check the borrower’s creditworthiness and calculate the debt-to-income rate.
The Group has developed a linear rule strategy to evaluate each loan application using an automated credit risk underwriting process. The Group’s
credit risk underwriting models are developed by a centralized data science team. The Group develops its credit risk underwriting models based on
information gathered during the customer registration, loan application, customer identification, fraud screening and credit screening phases. The
Groups risk team closely monitors the quality of the data collected, validates, and verifies the completeness of the required data points. The team
ensures that the credit check strategy is aligned with the settings of the credit check model, sets data requirements for each decision step, and
ensures efficient data management. For pawn loans, the evaluation of the collaterals is performed by trained appraisers. The Group has established
an efficient and effective debt collection process and has a dedicated team that adheres to debt collection practices that are fully compliant with local
regulations.
The Group have regular monthly debt sale process developed and signed a contract with a third party for unsecured loans issued which are
outstanding between 30 to 90 days and there are timely identified indications that loans sold could default. For loans that are outstanding more than
90 days separate debt sale agreements are signed. In the case of pawn loans, the collateral is sold in their branches or e-shop (the average realization
period of the collateral is 3 months).
The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the Balance Sheet. Exposures are based on net carrying amounts
as reported in the Balance Sheet. The Group’s maximum credit exposures are shown gross, i.e. without taking into account any collateral or other credit
enhancements.

(s1.3) Operational risk
Operational risk is a loss risk due to external factors namely (natural disasters, crimes, etc.) or internal ones (IT system crash, fraud, violation of laws
or internal regulations, insufficient internal control). Operation of the Group carries a certain operational risk which can be managed using several
methods including methods to identify, analyse, report and reduce the operational risk. Also, self-assessment of the operational risk is carried out as
well as systematic approval of new products is provided to ensure the compliance of the products and processes with the risk environment of the activity.
(s1.4) Market risk
The Group is exposed to market risks, basically related to the fluctuations of interest rates between the loans granted and funding received, as well as
demand for the Group’s services fluctuations. The Group’s cash flows related to financing costs to some extent depend on the changes in market rates
of interest. The Group attempts to limit market risks, adequately planning the expected cash flows, diversifying the product range and fixing funding
resource interest rates. The Group issues loans at fixed rate and has borrowings with a fixed and variable rates. As at 31 December 2022 except from
one bond emission in amount of EUR 4 927 000 and lease contracts amounting to 292 thousand EUR with contracts concluded in EUR currency with
variable part denominate as 3 month EURIBOR rate all other interest bearing liabilities are with a fixed interest rate. The interest rate market risk is
considered to be low.

has an oversight responsibility of the liquidity reserves and make current forecasts based on anticipated cash flows. The management of the Group
performs liquidity analysis on a regular basis and ensures adequate gap between short-term liabilities and assets. Most of the Group's liabilities are
long-term liabilities. Based on performed procedures the management is of the opinion that the Group will be able to secure sufficient liquidity by its
operating activities. For analysis of financial liabilities by remaining contractual maturities please see note 31.

(t) Significant assumptions and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make professional judgments, assumptions and estimates which affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Assumptions and estimates based on those assumptions are analysed regularly to identify if changes are required. The changes in accounting estimates
are recognized in the reporting period when the estimates were changed and in all periods that follow.
Impairment losses on loans to customers
The measurement of impairment losses on loans to customers requires judgement, in particular, the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash
flows when determining impairment losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of factors,
changes in which can result in different levels of allowances. The Group’s ECL calculations are outputs of complex models with a number of underlying
assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting
judgements and estimates include:
The Group’s criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk and allocation of loans to Stage 1 or 2;
identification of unlikeliness to pay criteria and assignment of loans to Stage 3;
development of ECL models, including the various formulae and the choice of inputs;
forward-looking macroeconomic information incorporation in the ECL models;
ECL adjustment due to decrease in debt sales;
the modelling and calculation of key parameters of the ECL models, including probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and
exposure at default (EAD).
To enhance ECL models the Group uses forward-looking macroeconomic information, which is based on assumptions for the future movement of
different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each other. As the Group operates only in Latvia all data of macroeconomic indicators
published on monthly basis by Central Statistical Bureau Republic of Latvia was obtained, equalized, and compared with the Group’s year on year 1
30-day delay to non-delay portfolio. This was used as a proxy for probability of default. Indicators with highest correlation are salary, number of employed
persons aged 15-74 and economic sentiment index. Based on obtained data a regression model was created, which offers significance of the coefficient
of each macroeconomic indicator. To use macroeconomic factor as forward-looking macroeconomic information adjustment three economic scenarios
with distinct economic consequences were used: a base case scenario which comprises most likely future economic development, a less likely adverse
scenario and less likely optimistic scenario. The key variables are summarized below.

The current implementation, based on an expert judgement, weights base case scenario with 60% likelihood, the adverse scenario at 20% likelihood
and the optimistic scenario at 20% likelihood. If the weighting of the adverse scenario was to increase to 45%, the expected credit loss allowance of the
Group would increase by EUR 48 397 and for the Company by EUR 28 283 as of 31 December 2022. If the weighting of the base case scenario was
to increase to 100%, the expected credit loss allowance of the Group would decrease by EUR 40 331 and for the Company by EUR 23 569 as of 31
December 2022.
Due to significant changes in underwriting policy of the Group, the historical structure of default due to debt sales before reaching 90 day delay has
changed and the Management of the Group made significant judgement that the ECL coefficients calculated based on historical data should decrease
by 16% for Banknote brand portfolio and by 24% for VIZIA brand portfolio. These judgments are supported by the decrease in NPL ratio from 4.8% as
of 31 December 2020 to 1.9% as of 31 December 2021 to 1.4% as of 31 December 2022 and decrease in Stage 3 proportion from total unsecured loan
portfolio from 5.3% as of 31 December 2020 to 2.8% as of 31 December 2021 to 1.7% as of 31 December 2022.
The current adjustment is based on an expert judgement. If there was no adjustment for each brand portfolio, the expected credit loss allowance of the
Group would increase by EUR 992 380 and for the Company by EUR 466 056 as of 31 December 2022 If the adjustment was to increase by 5
percentage points for each brand portfolio, the expected credit loss allowance of the Group would increase by EUR 255 307 and for the Company by
EUR 143 505 as of 31 December 2022
The ECL model inputs and parameters were reviewed and where necessary updated. For more detailed qualitative and quantitative information on the
impairment of financial assets, refer to Note 1 Accounting Policies section l Trade and other receivables and Note 15 Loans and receivables.
ECL arising from trade receivables or contract assets is assessed as not significant due to the nature.
SPPI for pawn loans
The SPPI assessment for pawn loans is highly judgmental. The focus in determining whether SPPI criteria are met focused on the non-recourse
aspect of the loans in combination with an relatively high risk of non-fulfillment of the loans and the pricing structure of the loans. In light of the
returns from pawn loans in case of default being closely linked to the sale of collateral it was concluded that pawn loans do not meet SPPI criteria and
therefore are required to be carried at fair value through profit or loss. The procedures for assessing and managing this risk are to some extent limited
due to the collateral used to secure the loan.
Fair value of pawn loans
The measurement of fair value of pawn loans requires judgement in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the
fair value of the performing pawn loans and the amount and timing of future cash flows when realizing collateral for non-performing loans.
The elements for the fair value model for the performing loans are driven by the portfolio’s effective interest rate and portfolio’s free cash flows. The
non-performing loan portfolio fair value calculations are dependent on the expected time of realization of the pledge, its market price, associated sales
costs, and relevant discount rate. The fair value model inputs and parameters are periodically reviewed and where necessary updated.
Net realisable value of inventories
The cost of the Group’s inventory may have to be reduced to its net realisable value if the inventory has become damaged, is wholly or partly obsolete,
or if its selling price has declined. The costs of inventory may not be recovered from sale because of increases in the costs to complete, or the estimated
selling costs. Writing inventory down to net realisable value is carried out on an item-by-item basis. The Group’s estimates of net realisable value are
based on the most reliable evidence available and take into account fluctuations of price or cost after the end of the period if this is evidence of conditions
existing at the end of the period.

Leases estimating the incremental borrowing rate
In case the Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities.
The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain
an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’,
which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease.
The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific
estimates.
Leases are accounted based on contractual term, no significant judgment here.
(u) Related parties
Related parties include the shareholders, members of the Board and Supervisory Board of the Group, Supervisory Board their close family members
and companies in which the said persons have control or significant influence. Term “Related parties” agrees to Commission Regulation (EC) 1126/2008
of 3 November 2018 which took in force various IAS according to European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 mentioned in Annex of
IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures”.
(v) Subsequent events
Post-period-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the
financial statements. Post-period-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
(w) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is
possible. A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(x) Earnings per share
Earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to the shareholders with the weighted-average number
of shares outstanding during the year.
(y) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker the Group’s
Board, which allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the operating segments of the Group. For management purposes, the Group
is organised into three operating segments based on products and services. Group’s segments are Pawn loan segment, Consumer loans segment,
Retail segment and Other operating segment. Under Other operating segment there are accounted general Group administrative operations,
services provided to related entities and real estates project development financing activities.

Part of the IT employees are involved in building technical solutions for the operation of AS DelfinGroup. These systems are constantly built to meet
both external and internal needs, and these are constantly being developed. As the systems are fully developed internally by IT department, related
payroll and tax payments are capitalized for those IT employees who were involved in the development of the systems. The list of capitalized salaries
is reviewed every month and capitalized amount is determined based on the works performed. Following initial recognition of the development
expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried a cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment
During 2022 capitalised salary and related taxes for such systems amounted to EUR 348 685 (2021 - EUR 251 795). The systems are constantly
being developed and support the issuance of loans, growth of the portfolio and sale of goods and as such ensure that the future economic benefits
will flow to the company over a long period, thus justifying capitalization.

Share option plan
In September 2021 shareholders approved an employee share option plan for employees and Management of the Group. Under the programme a
total of 450 000 new shares can be issued. In December 2022 employees were granted first stock options under the employee share option plan.
According to the Company’s share option plan, share options of the parent are granted to all employees of the Company. The right to receive employee
options belongs to those employees of the company who meet the following conditions:
- Employee has been with the company for at least 12 months;
- Employee has achieved the individual goals set for him by the Management and has contributed to achieving the common business goals.
To exercise the share options the option holder has to be employed with the Group. Upon exercising their personnel options, option holders are
entitled to receive the Company's newly issued shares for a fee. The price of one share of the Company's new issue is EUR 0.10 (10 cents). The
minimum term of holding employee options from their allocation to the day the option holder is entitled to exercise the option rights is 12 months. The
options have to be exercised within a month after their vesting date and there are no cash settlement alternatives.
The Group recognized expenses in amount of EUR 93 058 during the reporting year (EUR 0 in 2021) in relation to the respective share option plan.
The remaining 376 032 options of the plan whilst approved for use in future SBP schemes, have not been included in SBP contracts yet, hence no
expense recognised in the year.

Fair value calculations
The fair value of share options is estimated at the grant date by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. When estimating the fair value of options,
the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted are considered, as well as making estimates on some of the assumptions to adjust
for the BlackScholes model’s calculations. The inputs used in the model are market observable whenever possible including the share price, expected
dividend yield and risk-free rate. The weighted average fair value of options granted at the measurement date was EUR 1.2581 (EUR 0 in 2021).
The following table lists the key inputs used for calculating of fair value:

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and
performance assessment. Segment performance, as explained in the table below, is measured on consolidation basis. Management mainly focuses
on net sales, interest income and similar income and profit before taxes of the segment. For the costs, for which direct allocation to a particular
segment is not attributable, the judgement of the management is used to allocate general costs by segments, based on the following cost allocation
drivers loan issuance, segment income, segment employee count, segment employee costs, the amount of segment assets .

(29) Guarantees issued, pledges
The Group has registered four groups of commercial pledges by pledging its assets and claim rights for a maximum amount of EUR 33 million as
collateral registered to collateral agent SIA Eversheds Sutherland Bitāns (in favour of SIA Mintos Finance) and to SIA Mintos Finance No.20 and AS
Mintos Marketplace to provide collateral for loans placed on the Mintos P2P platform.
As of 31 December 2022, the amount of secured liabilities constitutes EUR 34 860 758 (As of 31 December 2021 EUR 18 573 636).
(30) Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or
indirectly; and
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market
data.
Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison with similar instruments for which observable market
prices exist, Black-Scholes and option pricing models. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest
rates, other premiums used in estimating discount rates, and expected price volatilities.
The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to
transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
For more complex instruments, the Group uses proprietary valuation models, which are usually developed from recognised valuation models. Some
or all of the significant inputs into these models may not be observable in the market, and may be derived from market prices or rates or estimated
based on assumptions. Examples of instruments involving significant unobservable inputs include the valuation of pawn loan portfolio. Valuation
models that employ significant unobservable inputs require a higher degree of management judgement and estimation in the determination of fair
value. Management judgement and estimation are usually required for the selection of the appropriate valuation model to be used, determination of
expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued and selection of appropriate discount rates.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and
risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. Also set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying
amounts and fair values of the Company’s and the Group’s financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the Consolidated balance sheet.
The table does not include the fair values of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities.

Significant unobservable inputs are developed as follows:
- Sales costs and sale margins are derived from historical trends.
- Expected cash flows are derived from the entity’s business plan and from historical comparison between plans and actual results.
The effect of unobservable inputs on fair value measurement
Although the Group believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions could lead to different
measurements of fair value. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions used to reasonably possible alternative
assumptions would have the following effects.
Effect on profit or loss

Pawn loans

31 December 2021
Pawn loans

(335 388)
The favourable and unfavourable effects of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions for the valuation of pawn loans have been calculated
by recalibrating the model values using unobservable inputs sales costs, discount rate, expected return and sales margin cap.
Key inputs and assumptions used in the models at 31 December 2022 included:
- the average monthly discount rate of 15.9% (with reasonably possible alternative assumptions of 14.9% and 16.9%) (2021: 16.8%, 15.8% and
17.8% respectively)
- cumulative average expected return of 32% (with reasonably possible alternative assumptions of 30% and 34%) (2021: 30.2%, 28.2% and 32.2%
respectively)
- average sales margin cap of 85% (with reasonably possible alternative assumptions of 65% and 105%) (2021: 85%, 65% and 105% respectively)
- average sales costs of 22% (with reasonably possible alternative assumptions of 12% and 32%) (2021: 23.5%, 13.53% and 33.5% respectively)
Collateral for pawn loans
Pawn loans made by the Group are secured by collateral of the borrower limit the Group’s claim to cash flows of the underlying collateral (non-
recourse loans). The following table sets out the principal types of collateral held against pawn loans:

The following tables stratify credit exposures for pawn loans by ranges of loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. LTV is calculated as the ratio of the gross amount
of the loan to the value of the collateral. The valuation of the collateral excludes any adjustments for obtaining and selling the collateral. The value of
the collateral for goods is determined on the collateral value at origination.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the shareholders of DelfinGroup AS
Report on the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements
Our Opinion on the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying separate financial statements of DelfinGroup AS (“the
Company”) and accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiaries (“the Group”) set out on pages 16 to 61 of the accompanying separate and
consolidated Annual Report, which comprise:
the separate and consolidated balance sheet as at 31 December 2022,
the separate and consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year then ended,
the separate and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended,
the separate and consolidated cash flows statement for the year then ended, and
the notes to the separate and consolidated financial statements, which include a
summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements give a true
and fair view of the separate and consolidated financial position of the Company and the
Group, respectively, as at 31 December 2022, and of their separate and consolidated
financial performance and their separate and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the
European Union.
Basis for Opinion
In accordance with the ’Law on Audit Services’ of the Republic of Latvia we conducted our
audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing adopted in the Republic of Latvia
(ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
Responsibility for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements section
of our report.
We are independent of the Company and Group in accordance with the International Ethics
Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) and independence
requirements included in the ’Law on Audit Services’ of the Republic of Latvia that are
relevant to our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements in the Republic of
Latvia. We have also fulfilled our other professional ethics responsibilities and objectivity
requirements in accordance with the IESBA Code and the ’Law on Audit Services’ of the
Republic of Latvia.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Emphasis of Matter comparative information
We draw attention to Note 1 section Restatement in comparative figures due to correction of
errors on page 21 of the separate and consolidated financial statements, which describes
that the Company and the Group identified errors in the previous years relating to expected
kpmg
credit loss calculation, classification and resulting measurement error for pawn loans,
application of effective interest rate method to interest income calculation, classification error
for accounting of e-shop sales, as a result of which the comparative information presented
as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021 and the statement of financial position as at
1 January 2021 have been restated. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current
period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
In addition to the matters described in the Emphasis of Matter section, we have determined
the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

thousand).
We refer to the separate and consolidated financial statements: Note 1 (l) (Accounting
policies), (s1.2) (Financial risk management), (t) (Significant assumptions and estimates),
Note 15.
Key audit matter
How we addressed the key audit matter
Loans and receivables issued without
pledge, collectively represent approximately
79% of the Group’s assets as at 31
December 2022 (31 December 2021:
approximately 76%) and approximately 68%
of the Company’s assets as at 31 December
2022 (31 December 2021: approximately
67%). The Group offers loan products
issued to private individuals.
ln accordance with IFRS 9, the Company
and the Group calculates impairment
allowance based on expected credit losses
("ECLs"). ECLs are estimated mainly based
on the historical pattern of losses and
changes in loan risk characteristics based
on qualitative and quantitative indicators
such as the probability of default ("PD") and
loss given default ("LGD"). The Company
and the Group incorporates forward looking
information into modelling techniques
applied and recognizes a post model
adjustment, where it is deemed appropriate.
Impairment allowance represents the
Management's best estimate of the
expected credit losses related the Loans and
receivables issued without pledge as at the
reporting date and requires significant
judgments.
Our procedures in the area performed in
coordination with our own financial risk
modelling specialists included, among others:
inspecting the Group's expected credit
loss ("ECL") methodology and assessing
its compliance with the relevant
requirements of IFRS 9;
testing selected key controls over the
approval and recording and monitoring of
loans;
assisted by our own information
technology (IT) specialists, testing the
application and general IT controls related
to the ECL estimation process including
calculation of days past due;
assessing the definition of default and the
staging criteria and their consistent
application by evaluating these against
the requirements of IFRS 9;
independently assessing and challenging
the forward-looking information used in
the ECL model, by means of corroborating
inquiries of the Management and
inspection of publicly available
information;

Due to the above factors, we consider the
area to be associated with a significant risk
of material misstatement, which requires our
increased attention in the audit. As such, we
determined it to be a key audit matter.

assessing historical default Ievels and by

Fair value measurement of pawn loans (separate and consolidated financial
statements)
Company’s and Group’s consolidated financial statements
The carrying amount of pawn loans as at 31 December 2022: EUR 6 322 thousand (31
December 2021: EUR 4 067 thousand). Income recognised from pawn loans
in 2022: EUR 6 701 thousand (in 2021: EUR 5 074 thousand).
We refer to the separate and consolidated financial statements: Note 1 (e) and (l) (Accounting
policies), (t) (Significant assumptions and estimates), Note 15 and Note 30.
Key audit matter
How we addressed the key audit matter
The Company and the Group have a
significant balance of pawn loans. The
Company and the Group measures pawn
loans at fair value, with all changes therein
recorded in profit or loss as a consequence
of significant management judgment applied
relating to these loans not meeting the solely
payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
criteria set out in IFRS 9.
The valuation of the Company’s and Group’s
pawn loans measured at fair value involves
significant judgements and estimates made
by the management using the input from
internal valuation of collaterals, particularly
in relation to sensitivity of assumptions
regarding selling costs of collateral, discount
rates and cash flow projections.
Due to the above factors, we consider the
area to be associated with a significant risk
of material misstatement, which requires our

ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020 (from which the statement of financial
position as at 1 January 2021 has been derived), excluding the adjustments described in

As part of our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements as at and for the

engaged to audit, review, or apply any procedures to the separate and consolidated financial

2021, other than with respect to the adjustments described in Note 1 to the separate and
consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion or any other
form of assurance on those respective financial statements taken as a whole. However, in
our opinion, the adjustments described in Note 1 are appropriate and have been properly
applied.

Other Reporting Responsibilities in Accordance with the Legislation of the Republic of Latvia
Related to Other Information
In addition, in accordance with the ‘Law on Audit Services‘ of the Republic of Latvia with
respect to the Management Report, our responsibility is to consider whether the Management
Report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ‘Law on the Annual Reports
and Consolidated Annual Reports’ of the Republic of Latvia.
Based solely on the work required to be undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion,
in all material respects:

separate and consolidated financial statements are prepared is consistent with the
separate and consolidated financial statements; and
the Management Report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the
‘Law on the Annual Reports and Consolidated Annual Reports’ of the Republic of Latvia.
In accordance with the ‘Law on Audit Services‘ of the Republic of Latvia with respect to the
Statement of Corporate Governance, our responsibility is to consider whether the Statement
of Corporate Governance includes the information required in section 56.1, first paragraph,
clause 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9, as well as section 56.2, second paragraph, clause 5, and third

kpmg

the ‘Financial Instruments Market Law‘ of the Republic of Latvia, and no material
misstatements have been identified in the Remuneration Report in relation to the financial

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate and
Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the
European Union and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to
enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible
for assessing the Company’s and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and Group or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s and Group’s
financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and
consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated
financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion,
forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s and Group’s internal
control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
kpmg
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related
disclosures in the separate and consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures
are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company and Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and
consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves a fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated
financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance
of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Other Reporting Responsibilities and Confirmations Required by the Legislation of the
Republic of Latvia and the European Union when Providing Audit Services to Public
Interest Entities
We were appointed by those charged with governance on 10 June 2022 to audit the separate
and consolidated financial statements of DelfinGroup AS for the year ended 31 December
2022. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is 1 year.
We confirm that:
our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report presented to the Audit Committee
of the Company and Group;
as referred to in the paragraph 37.6 of the ’Law on Audit Services’ of the Republic of
Latvia we have not provided to the Company and Group the prohibited non-audit services
(NASs) referred to of EU Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. We also remained independent
of the audited entity and group in conducting the audit.
kpmg
For the period to which our statutory audit relates, we have not provided any services to the
Company and Group in addition to the audit, which have not been disclosed in the
Management Report or in the separate and consolidated financial statements of the
Company and the Group.
The responsible certified auditor on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is
Rainers Vilāns.
Report on the Auditors’ Examination of the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)
Report
In addition to our audit of the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements,
as included in the separate and consolidated Annual Report, we have also been engaged by
the management of the Group to express an opinion on compliance of the separate and
consolidated financial statements prepared in a format that enables uniform electronic
reporting (“the ESEF Report”) with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the
specification of a single electronic reporting format (the “RTS on ESEF”).
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the ESEF Report
Management is responsible for the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial
statements in a format that enables uniform electronic reporting that complies with the RTS
on ESEF. This responsibility includes:
the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in the applicable
xHTML format;
the selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, using judgment where
necessary;
ensuring consistency between digitised information and the consolidated financial
statements presented in human-readable format; and
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the application
of the RTS on ESEF.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting
process.
Auditors’ Responsibility for the Examination of the ESEF Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the ESEF report complies, in all
material respects, with the RTS on ESEF, based on the evidence we have obtained. We
conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard
on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or
Reviews of Historical Financial Information (ISAE 3000) issued by the International Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board.
A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 involves performing
procedures to obtain evidence about compliance with the RTS on ESEF. The nature, timing
and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements of set out in the RTS
on ESEF, whether due to fraud or error. Our procedures included, among other things:
kpmg
obtaining an understanding of the tagging process;
tracing the tagged data to the consolidated financial statements of the Group presented
in human-readable format;
evaluating the completeness of the Group’s tagging of the consolidated financial
statements;
evaluating the appropriateness of the Group’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the
ESEF taxonomy and creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the
ESEF taxonomy has been identified;
evaluating the use of anchoring in relation to the extension elements; and
evaluating the appropriateness of the format of the separate and consolidated financial
statements.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the ESEF Report of the Company and Group as at and for the year ended 31
December 2022 has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the
requirements of the RTS on ESEF.
