Silvano Fashion Group AS is under no permanent or fixed obligation of paying dividends to its shareholders.

The decision on distribution of profit is made by the general meeting of shareholders on the basis of approved annual report.
The shares of AS Silvano Fashion Group have been admitted to trading on the Nasdaq OMX Tallinn Stock Exchange and the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Two corporate governance codes apply to the Group: 1) the Corporate Governance Recommendations adopted by the NASDAQ OMX Tallinn Stock Exchange and the Estonian Financial Supervision Authority (hereinafter CGR); 2) Corporate Governance Principles for WSE Listed Companies titled "Best Practice for GPW Listed Companies 2016" (hereinafter GPW CGP) .
In accordance with the CGR and GPW CGP the Group shall describe its management practices in corporate governance recommendations report and confirm its compliance or not with CGR. If the Group does not comply with CGR and/or GPW CGP, the Group shall explain in the report the reasons for its non-compliance. The Code of Best Practice for WSE Listed Companies provides the same obligation which is applicable to the Group due to its listing on the Warsaw Stock Exchange. The GPW CGP of the Warsaw Stock Exchange is similar to the CGR of the Tallinn Stock Exchange.
The Management Board and the Supervisory Board of the Parent company confirm, to the best of their knowledge that they did everything possible to ensure that the management practices were in compliance with CGR and GPW CGP in all substantial matters during the reporting year. If the management practices deviated, in the Management Board's and/or the Supervisory Board's opinion, from particular provisions of CGR and/or and GPW CGP during 2021 such a deviation is explained below.
Silvano Fashion Group has not implemented a diversity policy, which applies to all group companies yet, as we operate in many different legislative and cultural zone countries, most of them non-EU countries. But we follow diversity principles in our company culture and everyday activities to ensure that there is sufficient diversity in the governing bodies among the Group entities to have different opinions and views in the management positions and freedom to introduce new ideas. This approach will support effective management's decisions, the leadership and supervision of the exercise by the board and management teams and, therefore, the results of the companies. Diversity increased transparency will contribute significantly to the promotion of equal treatment and the fight against discrimination in the relevant decision-making bodies of other companies. Religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation discrimination as well as discrimination based on sex, racial and ethnic origin in the employment and occupation is not acceptable in the company culture of Silvano Fashion Group.
Silvano Fashion Group does not comply with principle I.Z.1.4 of GPW CGP based on which a company shall publish on its website the current structure of shareholders indicating those shareholders that hold at least 5% of the total vote in the company. The Group does not provide such information on the website as it is disclosed on the WSE homepage.
The highest governing body of the Group is the General Meeting of Shareholders. The competence of the General Meeting, the procedure for calling a meeting and passing of decisions is set forth in the Articles of Association of the Parent company. The annual general meeting is held once a year and extraordinary general meetings may be convened by the Management Board in the events prescribed by law. The general meeting is competent to change the articles of association, elect members of the Supervisory Board and decide on their remuneration, appoint an auditor, approve the annual report and allocate profit, as well as decide on other matters stipulated by the articles of association and laws. The articles of association do not provide for any rights to shares of a different class which would bring about unequal treatment of shareholders in voting. The General Meeting shall decide on amendment of the Articles of Association of the Company according to the procedure laid down in law and an amendment to the Articles of Association shall take effect upon making a relevant entry in the Commercial Register
A general meeting can adopt resolutions if over one-half of the votes represented by shares are present. A resolution of general meeting is adopted if over one-half of the votes represented at the meeting are in favour unless a larger majority is required by law. A resolution on amendment of the articles of association shall be adopted if at least twothirds of the votes represented at a general meeting are in favour.
The resolutions of the general meeting were published on Nasdaq OMX Tallinn and Warsaw stock exchanges and on Parent company's website in Estonian and English language
o The Meeting approved the 2020 Consolidated Annual Report.
o The Meeting decided to leave the net profit undistributed and include the net profit of the financial year 2020 in retained earnings.
Considering the aforementioned descriptions of general meeting held in 2021, the Group has largely complied with the Corporate Governance Code in informing the shareholders, convening and holding the general meeting.
Company has not complied the section 1.3.3 of the CGR issued by Financial Supervision Authority in Estonia: the Issuers shall make participation in the General Meeting possible by means of communication equipment (Internet) if the technical equipment is available and where doing so is not too cost prohibitive for the Issuer. Since Silvano Fashion Group does not have the required technical equipment, that would allow secure identification of shareholders, the currently attendance and participation in general meetings is not possible by means of communication equipment. Conducting a general meeting using electronic communication means (real-life broadcast of the general meeting, real-time bilateral communication, exercise of the right to vote during a general meeting either in person or by proxy) is also recommendation (IV.R.2.) of GPW CGP. Due to the reasons described above, the Group does not apply the said recommendation of GPW CGP. In addition, the abovementioned recommendation is not applied by the Group as its implementation would involve technical risks. The giving to shareholders of an option to communicate in the course of the general meeting without being present at the meeting, using electronic communication means, involves both technical and legal hazards for the proper and efficient conduct of the general meeting. In particular, the above brings about a real risk of technical interference preventing continuous bilateral communication with shareholders present in venues other that the meeting room. Therefore, the Group is unable to guarantee the reliability of technical infrastructure. At the same time, in the Group's opinion, the currently applicable rules for participation in general meetings facilitate the proper and effective exercise of rights attached to shares and sufficiently secure the interests of all shareholders. Furthermore, the Group has not been informed of any shareholders' expectations in respect of conducting the General Meeting of Shareholders using electronic communication means.
The Group does not apply principle I.Z.1.20. of GPW CGP and does not display on a corporate website an audio or video recording of a general meeting. Also, the Group does not apply principle IV.Z.2. and does not provide realtime broadcasts of general meetings. I In the Group's opinion, the manner in which general meetings have been documented so far ensures transparency of the Group's operations and safeguards the rights of all shareholders. In particular, the Group makes available the wording of resolutions adopted, in the form of current reports and website publications. Additionally, detailed data on voting results and objections, if any, raised against adopted resolutions are made available in the same form. Consequently, investors may obtain the knowledge of the material parts of, and matters discussed at, a general meeting.
The Management Board is a governing body of Silvano Fashion Group AS that represents and directs the parent company on a daily basis. In accordance with the articles of association, the Management Board may have one to three members. In accordance with the Commercial Code, members of the Management Board of Silvano Fashion Group AS are elected by the Supervisory Board. In order to elect a member of the Management Board, his or her consent is required. According to the articles of association of the Group, a member of the Management Board shall be elected for a specified term of up to three years. A member of the Management Board shall be removed from the Management Board by the Supervisory Board. The Supervisory Board may remove a member of the Management Board regardless of the reason.
The member of the management board may resign from the management board regardless of the reason by giving the notice thereof to the Supervisory Board.
As of 31 December 2021 the Management Board had 1 member: Mr. Jarek Särgava, although according to the clause 2.2.1 of the CGR, the Management Board shall have more than one member and a Chairman shall be elected by its members. All resolutions are adopted by the Management Board in collaboration with the parent's company Supervisory Board. Under the direction of the parent company, close cooperation is carried out with the management of subsidiaries and the people responsible for respective areas. The Group believes that such a division protects the best the interests of all shareholders and ensures sustainability of the Group. In opinion of the supervisory board, the
management of the Group is clearer and more transparent with one board member and so far the Supervisory Board has not considered election of additional board member to the Management Board to be necessary.
Upon assuming the office, member of the Management Board has executed a board member contract with the Group or service contract with a company belonging to the Group governing the service assignments of that member. Those contracts specify the rights, obligations and liability of the member of the management board, and lay down the provisions governing payment of principal remuneration. The amount of the remuneration was agreed upon in line with the service assignments and activities entrusted to the relevant member of the management board, the current state of the business, and the future trends. A more detailed overview of the remuneration paid to the member of the Management Board is available in the Remuneration Report. Members of the Management Board have informed the Parent company of their participation in other business entities, which are not members of the Group or management bodies thereof. No members of the Management Board are in direct competition with the Group. There is no conflict of the interest between the members of the Management Board and the Group and certain interest held by the members of Management Board, and their participation in managing bodies do not constitute a breach of the prohibition from competition. Moreover, the members of the Management Board have assumed the obligation to refrain from any breach of the non-competition obligation under their respective agreements.
Furthermore, the internal work procedure rules of the Group stipulate that no member of the Management Board or any employee shall demand or accept in their own personal interest any money or other benefits from any third persons in connection with their job, nor grant any third persons unlawful or unreasonable favours.
Silvano Fashion Group does not comply with the principle I.Z.1.2. of GPW CGP according to which a company should publish on its corporate website professional CVs of the members of management board and supervisory board. The Group does not publish CVs as management and supervisory board believe that disclosure of such information will not result in any additional benefit for the investors and shareholders of Silvano Fashion Group AS. Also, Silvano Fashion Group is not on compliance with principle I.Z.1.3. of GPW CGP since it doesn't publish on its website a chart showing the division of duties and responsibilities among members of the management board as there is only one member of the management.
The task of the Supervisory Board is to plan the operations of the Parent company, organize the business and carry out supervision over the activities of the Management Board. The General Meeting of Shareholders elects the members of the Supervisory Board of the Parent company.
The Supervisory Board has three to five members according to the resolution of the general meeting and the member is elected for up to five years.

The members of the Supervisory Board elect and appoint the chairman of the supervisory board. Mr. Toomas Tool serves as the chairman of the supervisory board from 15 November 2012.
Based on CGR Section 3.2.5: "The amount of remuneration of a member of the Supervisory Board shall be published in the Corporate Governance Recommendations Report, indicating separately basic and additional payment (incl. compensation for termination of contract and other payable benefits)." The remuneration of the members of the Supervisory Board of Silvano Fashion Group AS has been approved by the resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders dated 03.05.2019.

Silvano Fashion Group AS (hereinafter "the Group") is a holding company that controls group of enterprises involved in the design, manufacturing, wholesale, franchise and retail sales of ladies lingerie. The Group's income is generated by sales of Milavitsa, Alisee, Aveline, Lauma Lingerie, Laumelle and Hidalgo branded products through wholesales channel, franchised sales and own retail operated via Milavitsa and Lauma Lingerie retail stores. In 2021 and 2020 key sales markets for the Group have been Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, other CIS countries and the Baltics.
The Parent company is a public limited company, which is listed on NASDAQ OMX Tallinn Stock Exchange and on Warsaw Stock Exchange. The Parent company is incorporated and domiciled in Estonia. The address of its registered office is Tulika 17, 10613 Tallinn, registration number is 10175491. There is no controlling shareholder. These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Management Board of AS Silvano Fashion Group on 1 April 2022.
The consolidated financial statements are part of the annual report that has to be approved by the shareholders, and they serve as a basis for adopting a resolution for distributing the profit. Shareholders may decide not to approve the annual report, which has been prepared by the management board and approved by the supervisory board, and may demand that a new annual report be prepared.
Principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements of AS Silvano Fashion Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"). The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for equity financial assets that have been measured at fair value through profit or loss, as presented in the accounting policies below.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group`s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except for the following amended IFRSs which have been adopted by the Group as of 1 January 2021:
In August 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2, Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16, completing its work in response to IBOR reform. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (IBOR) is replaced with an alternative nearly risk-free interest rate (RFR). In particular, the amendments provide for a practical expedient when accounting for changes in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of financial assets and liabilities, to require the effective interest rate to be adjusted, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. Also, the amendments introduce reliefs from discontinuing hedge relationships including a temporary relief from having to meet the separately identifiable requirement when an RFR instrument is designated as a hedge of a risk component. There are also amendments to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of interest rate benchmark reform on an entity's financial instruments and risk management strategy. While application is retrospective, an entity is not required to restate prior periods. The amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

The original document is submitted in machine-readable .xhtml format to the Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange and digitally signed (link: https://nasdaqbaltic.com/statistics/en/instrument/EE3100001751/reports).
The amendment applies, retrospectively, to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 June 2020. Earlier application is permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorized for issue at 28 May 2020. IASB amended the standard to provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. The amendment provides a practical expedient for the lessee to account for any change in lease payments resulting from the covid-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change was not a lease modification, only if all of the following conditions are met:
The amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Certain new or revised standards and interpretations have been issued that are mandatory for the Group's annual periods beginning on or after 01 January 2022, and which the Group has not early adopted.
The amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28, in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. In December 2015 the IASB postponed the effective date of this amendment indefinitely pending the outcome of its research project on the equity method of accounting. The amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management has assessed that there is no impact of application of the amendments on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The amendments were initially effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022 with earlier application permitted. However, in response to the covid-19 pandemic, the Board has deferred the effective date by one year, i.e. 1 January 2023, to provide companies with more time to implement any classification changes resulting from the amendments. The amendments aim to promote consistency in applying the requirements by helping companies determine whether, in the statement of financial position, debt and other liabilities with an uncertain settlement date should be classified as current or non-current. The amendments affect the presentation of liabilities in the statement of financial position and do not change existing requirements around measurement or timing of recognition of any asset, liability, income or expenses, nor the information that entities disclose about those items. Also, the amendments clarify the classification requirements for debt which may be settled by the company issuing own equity instruments. In November 2021, the Board issued an exposure draft (ED), which clarifies how to treat liabilities that are subject to covenants to be complied with, at a date subsequent to the reporting period. In particular, the Board proposes narrow scope amendments to IAS 1 which effectively reverse the 2020 amendments requiring entities to classify as current, liabilities subject to covenants that must only be complied with within the next twelve months after the reporting period, if those covenants are not met at the end of the reporting period. Instead, the proposals would require entities to present separately all non-current liabilities subject to covenants to be complied with only within twelve months after the reporting period. Furthermore, if entities do not comply with such future covenants at the end of the reporting period, additional disclosures will be required. The proposals will become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024 and will need be applied retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8, while early adoption is permitted. The Board has also proposed to delay the effective date of the 2020 amendments accordingly, such that entities will not be required to change current practice before the proposed amendments come into effect. These Amendments, including ED proposals, have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management has assessed the impact of application of the amendments to be not material.

• IFRS 3 Business Combinations; IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment; IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets as well as Annual Improvements 2018-2020 (Amendments) The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 with earlier application
permitted. The IASB has issued narrow-scope amendments to the IFRS Standards as follows:
Management has assessed the impact of application of the amendments to be minimal.
The Amendment applies to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 April 2021, with earlier application permitted, including in financial statements not yet authorized for issue at the date the amendment is issued. In March 2021, the Board amended the conditions of the practical expedient in IFRS 16 that provides relief to lessees from applying the IFRS 16 guidance on lease modifications to rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic. Following the amendment, the practical expedient now applies to rent concessions for which any reduction in lease payments affects only payments originally due on or before 30 June 2022, provided the other conditions for applying the practical expedient are met. Management has assessed the impact of application of the amendments to be minimal.
The Amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. The amendments provide guidance on the application of materiality judgements to accounting policy disclosures. In particular, the amendments to IAS 1 replace the requirement to disclose 'significant' accounting policies with a requirement to disclose 'material' accounting policies. Also, guidance and illustrative examples are added in the Practice Statement to assist in the application of the materiality concept when making judgements about accounting policy disclosures. The amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The amendments become effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted and apply to changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates that occur on or after the start of that period. The amendments introduce a new definition of accounting estimates, defined as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty. Also, the amendments clarify what changes in accounting estimates are and how these differ from changes in accounting policies and corrections of errors. The amendments had no material impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.
The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 with earlier application permitted. In May 2021, the Board issued amendments to IAS 12, which narrow the scope of the initial recognition exception under IAS 12 and specify how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. Under the amendments, the initial recognition exception does not apply to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. It only applies if the recognition of a lease asset and lease liability (or decommissioning liability and decommissioning asset component) give rise to taxable and deductible temporary differences that are not equal. The Amendments have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Management has assessed the impact of application of the amendments to be not material.

The original document is submitted in machine-readable .xhtml format to the Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange and digitally signed (link: https://nasdaqbaltic.com/statistics/en/instrument/EE3100001751/reports).
There are no other new or revised standards or interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries as at 31 December 2021. Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date when the control ceases. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. When necessary, amounts reported by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform the Group's accounting policies.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in acquiree on an acquisition-byacquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
b) Changes in ownership interests in subsidiaries without change of control
Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions – that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.
The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in "Profit (loss) from associates using equity method" line of the consolidated income statement. Any change in other comprehensive income of associates is presented as part of the Group's consolidated comprehensive income. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equity of the associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the consolidated statement of changes in equity of the Group. Unrealised gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associates are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associates. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognised in the Group's financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the loss to "Profit (loss) from associates using equity method" in the consolidated income statement.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, which is the group's presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. 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 consolidated income statement within "Other operating income" or "Other operating expenses" lines. Foreign exchange gains and losses related to foreign exchange transactions under cash accounts and operations with Group's borrowings are presented in the consolidated income statement within line "Currency exchange income/(expense)".
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency spot rates of exchange at the reporting date.
Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets and liabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the consolidated income statement as part of the fair value gain or loss. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
The results and financial position of all the Group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
The exchange differences arising on translation are posted directly to equity as "Unrealised exchange rate differences" reserve via "Exchange differences on translation of foreign operations" within the consolidated statement of other comprehensive income.
Property, plant and equipment are tangible items that:
(a) are held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes; and (b) are expected to be used during more than one period.
Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment, if any.
The initial cost of property, plant and equipment comprises its purchase price, including non-refundable purchase taxes and any directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to its working condition and location for its intended use. Expenditures incurred after the property, plant and equipment is ready for its intended use, such as repair
and maintenance costs, are normally charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the period the costs are incurred.
When significant parts of plant and equipment are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives.
Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Buildings: | |
|---|---|
| Production buildings | 30-75 years |
| Other buildings | 20-50 years |
| Plant and equipment: | |
| Sewing equipment | 7-10 years |
| Vehicles | 5-7 years |
| Other equipment | 5-10 years |
| Other equipment and fixtures: | |
| Computers, tools and other items of equipment | 3-5 years |
| Store furnishings | 3-5 years |
The assets' residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of each reporting period.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised within "Other operating income" or "Other operating expenses" in the consolidated income statement.
Separately acquired trademarks and licences are initially measured at cost. Subsequently they are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment. Trademarks and licences acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Trademarks and licences have a finite useful life and are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment, if any. Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate the cost of trademarks and licences over their estimated useful lives of 5 to 10 years. The amortisation of intangible assets is based on the specific asset function and is included in cost of goods sold, distribution and/or administrative expenses of the consolidated income statement. Detailed information is disclosed in Note 13.
The property (land or a building) held by the Group for earning non-current rental yields or for capital appreciation, rather than for its own operations, is recorded as investment property. Investment property is initially recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost, including any directly attributable expenditure (e.g. notary fees, property transfer taxes, professional fees for legal services, and other transaction costs without which the transaction would have not taken place). Investment property is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated based on straight-line method. The useful lives of the Investment property (buildings) are within the range between 20 and 50 years.
Investment property is derecognized on disposal or when the asset is withdrawn from use and no future economic benefits are expected. Gains or losses from de-recognition of investment property are included within other operating income or other operating expenses in the income statement in the period in which de-recognition occurs. When the purpose of use of an investment property changes, the asset is reclassified in the balance sheet. From the date of the change, the accounting policies of the Group into which the asset has been transferred are applied to the asset.

The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGU's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. The recoverable amount is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs of disposal, recent market transactions are taken into account. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded companies or other available fair value indicators.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on most recent budgets and forecast calculations, which are prepared separately for each of the Group's CGUs to which the individual assets are allocated. These budgets and forecast calculations generally cover a period of five years.
Impairment losses of continuing operations are recognised in the consolidated income statement in expense categories consistent with the function of the impaired asset.
An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset's or CGU's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
The Group classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
The classification depends on the Group's business model for managing the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus (unless it is trade receivable that does not have a material financing component and is initially measured at transaction price), in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in the consolidated income statement.
Debt instruments in the Group are presented by the assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method and are subject to impairment. Impairment losses are deducted from amortised cost. Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented as separate line items in the consolidated income statement. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition are recognised directly in the consolidated income statement.
As at 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021 and during 2021, the Group's debt instruments were represented by trade receivables and other non-current financial assets classified as trade and other receivables.
Equity instruments are subsequently carried at fair value with net changes in fair value recognised in the consolidated income statement. This category includes equity investments which the Group had not irrevocably elected to classify at fair value through profit or loss. Dividends on equity investments are recognised as "Other finance income/ (expense) in the consolidated income statement when the right of payment has been established.
As at 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021 and during 2021, the Group's equity instruments were investments in other shares.
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables that does not have a material financing component and is initially measured at transaction price, as disclosed in section 2.16 "Revenue recognition".
Impairment loss model is used for financial assets measured at amortised cost. Financial assets measured at amortised cost include trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and all other financial assets not accounted at fair value through profit or loss.
Expected credit losses are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. A credit loss is the difference between the cash flows that are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The measurement of expected credit losses shall take into account: (i) an unbiased and probability-weighted amount, the determination of which shall assess a number of possible different outcomes, (ii) the time value of the money and (iii) reasonable and justified information available at the end of the reporting period, without excessive cost or effort, on past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Group measures loss allowances as follows:
for trade receivables (including operating lease receivables) at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs;
for cash and cash equivalents that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date (the management considers 'low credit risk' to be an investment grade credit rating with at least one major rating agency) at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs;
for all other financial assets at an amount of 12-month ECLs, if the credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial asset) has not increased significantly since initial recognition; if the risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
In the consolidated statement of financial position and in the consolidated statement of cash flows cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, cash at banks and current highly liquid deposits with a maturity of three months or less, that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

The original document is submitted in machine-readable .xhtml format to the Nasdaq Tallinn Stock Exchange and digitally signed (link: https://nasdaqbaltic.com/statistics/en/instrument/EE3100001751/reports).
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (based on normal operating capacity). Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.
Inventories, whose net realisable value are lower than cost are considered as obsolete. Obsolete inventories include: raw materials not intended for further use, standard finished goods not intended for further sale, finished goods that will be definitely included in seasonal sales and promo-events (30% average discount), non-standard finished goods (rejects, defected finished goods) percentage (85% of closing balance in average).
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Where any group company purchases the company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled or reissued. Where such ordinary shares are subsequently reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the company's equity holders.
Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate.
All financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case of payables, loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the consolidated income statement.
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the consolidated income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in consolidated comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in consolidated comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Parent company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred tax liabilities are not recognised if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill; deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except for deferred income tax liability where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
In accordance with applicable laws of the Republic of Estonia, the Estonian entities do not pay income tax on profits. Instead of the income tax payable on profits, the Estonian entities pay corporate income tax on dividends, fringe benefits, gifts, donations, costs of entertaining guests, non-business related disbursements and adjustments of the transfer price. As of 01 January 2015 the current tax rate is 20/80 on the amount paid out as net dividends. From 2019, tax rate of 14/86 can be applied to dividend payments. The more beneficial tax rate can be used for dividend payments in the amount of up to the average dividend payment during the three preceding years that were taxed with the tax rate of 20/80. When calculating the average dividend payment of three preceding years, 2018 will be the first year to be taken into account.
Corporate income tax paid on dividends is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as an income tax expense and in the statement of financial position as a deferred income tax liability to the extent of the planned dividend payment. An income tax liability is due on the 10th day of the month following the payment of dividends.
Deferred income tax is provided on post-acquisition retained earnings and other post acquisition movements in reserves of subsidiaries, except where the Group controls the subsidiary's dividend policy and it is probable that the difference will not reverse through dividends or otherwise in the foreseeable future.
The Group controls the reversal of temporary differences relating to taxes chargeable on dividends from subsidiaries or on gains upon their disposal. The Group does not recognise deferred tax liabilities on such temporary differences except to the extent that management expects the temporary differences to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The change of corporate income tax in Latvia came into effect applicable from 1 January 2018. In accordance with the changed Latvian Income Tax Act, income tax is not levied on companies' profits but on dividends distributed. The tax rate in 2021 was 20/80 of the amount distributed as the net dividend (20/80 in 2020). As the object of taxation is dividends, not profit, there are no differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities which could give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities. The income tax payable on dividends is recognised as the income tax expense of the period in which the dividends are declared.
Deferred income tax is provided on retained earnings and other movements in reserves of subsidiaries in Latvia, except where the Group controls the subsidiary's dividend policy and it is probable that the difference will not reverse through dividends or otherwise in the foreseeable future.
The Group controls the reversal of temporary differences relating to taxes chargeable on dividends from subsidiaries in Latvia or on gains upon their disposal. The Group does not recognise deferred tax liabilities on such temporary differences except to the extent that management expects the temporary differences to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The Group's foreign entities pay tax on corporate profits in accordance with the laws of their domicile. In Monaco the tax rate is 33.33%, in Russia 20%, in Belarus 18% and in Ukraine 18%.
For the subsidiaries in the abovementioned countries, the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined for all temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts on the reporting date. Deferred corporate income tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates applicable on the reporting date and current legislation, expected to prevail when the deferred tax assets are settled (Note 3).
Provisions for costs and legal claims are recognised when: the group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense.
Other obligations whose settlement is not probable or the amount of accompanying expenditure of which cannot be measured with sufficient reliability, but that in certain circumstances may become obligations, are disclosed as contingent liabilities in the notes to the financial statements.
Revenue is income arising in the course of the Group's ordinary activities. Revenue is measured in the amount of transaction price. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange of transferring control over promised goods or services to a customer, excluding the amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when it transfers control of a good or service to a customer.
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the time when a sales transaction is completed for the client in a retail store. The client generally pays in cash, by card.
Wholesale revenues are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the wholesalers. The wholesaler has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect acceptance of the products by the wholesaler. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the wholesaler, and the wholesaler has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
A receivable is recognised when the goods are shipped as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due. The Group uses its accumulated historical experience to estimate the number of returns by using the expected value method. The validity of this assumption and the estimated amount of returns are reassessed at each reporting date. Because the number of products returned has been steady for years, it is not highly probable that a significant reversal in the cumulative revenue recognised will occur.
The Group does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. Consequently, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
The Group as the Lessee
The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for current leases and leases of lowvalue assets. The Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying 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.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
• Commercial premises – up to 3 years;
• Warehouse and office premises – up to 5 years
If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset.
The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment. Refer to the accounting policies in section 2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets. Right-of-use assets are presented in the consolidated statement of financial position in line "Property, plant and equipment".
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 the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising the option to terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses (unless they are incurred to produce inventories) 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 its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because 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 the lease payments (e.g., changes to future payments

resulting a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.
Lease liabilities are presented in consolidated statement of financial position in line "Lease liabilities".
The Group applies the current lease recognition exemption to its current leases of machinery and equipment (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 office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on current leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
As a lessor, the Group determines at lease inception whether the lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. If the Group determines that the lease transfers substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the underlying asset, the lease is a finance lease. Leases in which the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset are classified as operating leases. Rental income arising is accounted for on a straight-line basis over the lease terms and is included in line "Other operating income" in the consolidated income statement due to its operating nature. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are earned.
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received, and all attached conditions will be complied with. Grants related to income are deducted in reporting the related expense.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS as adopted in the EU requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Estimates of net realizable value are based on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made, of the amount the inventories are expected to realize. However actual selling price at the time of transaction may differ from the estimates. The need for and extent of writing down of inventories is determined as follows: 100% write-down of raw materials not intended for further use, 100% write-down of standard finished goods not intended for further sale, finished goods that will be definitely included in seasonal sales and promo-events (30% average discount), non-standard finished goods (rejects, defected finished goods) percentage (85% of closing balance in average).
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period. The amounts of write-downs are disclosed in Note 11.
The lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease is determined with taking into account all periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options.
The Group applies judgement in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control that affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (e.g. significant leasehold improvements or significant customization of the leased asset).
The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, therefore, 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 (as the Group does not enter into financing transactions).
The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates (such as the subsidiary's stand-alone credit rating, based on the borrowings availability confirmed by the Banks operating in the market)
The Group has developed a general, systematic approach procedure for carrying out the impairment analysis and identification of the impairment signs as at the reporting date. The Group monitors certain events or circumstances, principally an analysis of commercial and production premises that have passed the initial period determined by the Group for the generation of profits and which are incurring operating losses, as well as operating decisions regarding the continuity of particular commercial premises' locations, or other circumstances which indicate that the value of an asset may not be recovered in full.
If the results of the Group's monitoring show that there are any assets that might be subject to impairment the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units (retail stores, production facilities) and tests the carrying amounts of the right-of-use assets or property, plant and equipment for impairment in accordance with accounting policies described in Note 2 section 2.7 Impairment of non-financial assets.
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined based on value in use calculation by using discounted cash flow model. The valuation uses cash flow projections are based on financial estimates covering maximum of a five-year period. The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model as well as the expected future cash flows. The estimation of future cash flows and selection of discount rate require the use of judgments and estimates.
The estimated value in use of the CGUs (retail stores) are determined using a pre-tax discount rate and a zero terminal value growth rate. The discount rate is a pre-tax measure that reflects weighted average cost of capital. The components of the discount rate are
Although the Group's business and profits have been affected significantly by the outbreak of COVID-19 and temporary restrictions on sales in physical stores in Russia and stoppage of production facilities in Latvia in 2020, the Group has experienced sustainable recovery of the profits for its commercial premises in Belarus, Russia and other CIS countries. Also, profitability of the wholesales segment has been steadily improving in 2021 compared to 2020 results. Except form the short period in October-November 2021, commercial and production facilities in all countries of operation have operated as usual.
The results of the impairment test performed by the Group in 2020 have showed that no impairment should have been recognized in the consolidated financial statements, thus, in light of the relief of the major COVID-19 restrictions in countries of operations in 2021 and overall Group's performance improvement, the Group has not identified any impairment signs as at the reporting date. Thus, the management of the Group considers that no impairment should be accounted at the reporting date with respect to right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment of the Group.

within "Income tax expense". Management believes that the current tax treatment is probable (probable = more likely than not as per definition in IFRS) to be accepted by the tax authorities and the provision reсognized is sufficient to cover potential losses if any. Management's analysis is based on the recent court practice as well as the internal documentation, reasonings and grounds of the facts and circumstances available to the Group. No additional provisions have been created in 2021 with respect to the described potential tax liabilities.
c) Based on the tax legislation changes introduced in 2020 in one of the countries of the Group's operations and effective for the periods starting from January 1st, 2021 the management decided to recognize provision for potential tax uncertainties in total amount of 400 000 EUR. Management estimation for the created tax provision is based on the management interpretation of the respective legislation changes and the likelihood of the future liabilities' exposure.
Undistributed profits of the subsidiary give rise to 'outside' temporary differences, i.e. differences between the tax bases of the investments or interests (their original cost) and the carrying amounts of net assets of the relevant investments or interests. Although the parent company has control over the operations of subsidiaries consolidated into the Group and might control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences, that is highly probable that the temporary differences related to undistributed profits of subsidiaries will be reversed in the foreseeable future at least for several of subsidiaries. Therefore, when the parent has determined that such distribution is probable in the Group's consolidated financial statements differed tax liability is recognized.
The management has the historical practice to reinvest the earnings of the foreign subsidiaries in Russia and in Latvia in its operations, thus, it has been determined that no distributions will be made in the foreseeable future and no deferred tax liability has been recognized from the 'outside' temporary differences with respect to these subsidiaries.
Contrary the Group has the historical practice to distribute profits from its subsidiaries operating in Belarus and Ukraine. Tax legislation of these countries presumes that in case the dividend is distributed to the non-resident parent company, such distribution is subject to additional taxation. The expected amount of the future distribution is determined based on the average distributed dividends for several prior years and amounts of the profits earned by the subsidiary for the reporting period. The deferred tax liabilities related to such distribution are recognized in the consolidated financial statements by using 10% rate applicable to profits distributed from Belarus and 5% rate applicable to profits distributed from Ukraine (Note 17).

The useful lives of tangible and intangible assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed on an annual basis for appropriateness. The useful lives are based on historical experiences with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events, which may impact their life.
In comparison to 2020, that has been heavily affected by the pandemic as a result of lockdown measures and restricted mobility within the countries, where the Group operates, in 2021 there have been observed a recovery of the operations of the Group. The vaccination rollout and measures to reopen the economy implemented in most countries have, from the second quarter of 2021, led to relief of the restrictions imposed due to COVID-19, thereby boosting the economic recovery and driving a resurgence of consumption.
Still in the fourth quarter of the reporting year, the emergence of a new, more contagious variant of the virus led to the partial return of restrictions.
On October 28th, 2021 most regions in Russia have introduced "Recommended Restrictive Measures" due to the outspread of new variant. In an effort to slow the further spread of the virus, the government approved a weeklong paid holiday from October 30 to November 7, 2021. During this period the Group's stores in Russia have been closed, thus, the results of the Group have been insignificantly distorted during this period. No additional restrictive measures have been imposed in 2021 in Belarus, all the Group premises operated as usual.
In 2021 the Group has continued to implement measures aimed at mitigating the impact of any future potential uncertainties due to COVID-19 outspread. The Group has launched the digital store in Belarus, though the share of online sales in total revenue of the Group still relatively low. Also, to mitigate the negative effect of COVID-19 pandemic Lauma Lingerie AS received in February – July 2021 government state financial support for financing its current operations in the amount of 550 000 EUR (Note 29).
Overall, the Group's long-term strategy and operations are considered by the management not to be significantly affected as the pandemic is seen as the temporary situation for which the responsive mitigating mechanisms have been developed both by the governments of the countries, where the Group operates, as well as by the Group management.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable;
Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
Management estimates that the carrying amount of the Group's financial assets and liabilities does not significantly differ from their fair value. Trade receivables and payables are current and therefore the management estimates that their carrying amount is close to their fair value. The fair values of trade receivables and payables are determined at third level. Fair value of borrowings is determined at second level of fair value hierarchy. Management estimates that the Group's interest rates on borrowings correspond to market conditions therefore their carrying amount is close to their fair value. Fair value of investments in other shares is determined at third level. Fair value of such equity instruments is valued using models with both observable and non-

observable data. The non-observable inputs to the models include assumptions regarding the future financial performance of the investee, its risk profile, and economic assumptions regarding the industry and country in which the investee operates. Fair value of the investment property is determined at second level as the Group has involved independent real estate valuators. The independent real estate valuator has applied the market approach, still the final value has been identified applying judgmental adjustments allowing for the characteristics of the real estate under assessment.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk (including currency risk and fair value interest rate risk). The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
The Management Board has an overall responsibility for establishment and oversight of the Group's risk management framework. The achievement of risk management goals in the Group is organized in such a way that risk management is part of normal business operations and management. Risk management is a process of identifying, assessing and managing business risks that can prevent or jeopardize the achievement of business goals.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations.
Credit risk is managed on the Group basis, except for credit risk relating to accounts receivable balances. Each local entity is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as credit exposures to wholesale customers, including outstanding receivables and committed transactions. For banks and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a quality rating are accepted. If wholesale customers are independently rated, these ratings are used. If there is no independent rating, management assesses the credit quality of the customer, taking into account its financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the board of each local entity. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored. Sales to retail customers are settled in cash or using major credit cards. No credit limits were exceeded during the reporting period, and management does not expect any losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
The carrying amount of financial assets (except for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss) represents the maximum credit exposure. The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date was:

Not past due trade receivables are towards wholesale customers. There is no substantial risk concentration in trade receivables. These receivables have been settled by the date of this report.
Trade receivables have been considered impaired because debtors are experiencing significant financial difficulties and the probability of payments is low. Movements in the allowance for the expected credit losses in respect of trade receivables and other receivables during the year were as follows:

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the group and aggregated by group finance function. Group finance function monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group's financing plans, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and, if applicable external regulatory or legal requirements – for example, currency restriction.
As of 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020, the Group's current assets exceeded its current liabilities.

Market risks are risks that changes in market prices, such as foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.
The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases and cash that are denominated in a currency other than respective functional currencies of the Group entities. In the Group's markets, sale and purchase prices are fixed in the following currencies: EUR (Euro), RUB (Russian roubles), BYN (Belarusian roubles), UAH (Ukrainian hryvnia). Other purchase and sales transactions are mainly in Euro and in US dollars. Intra-group transactions are primarily in Euros, Russian roubles and Belarusian roubles.
Most materials required for the manufacturing of women's lingerie are imported from EU member states. Those purchases are mainly in Euros.
Most of the Group's wholesale sales to third parties are in roubles (RUB). The Group's retail sales prices are fixed in the currency of the retail market. Fluctuations in the exchange rates of local currencies affect both the Group's revenue and expenses. Rapid changes in the market's economic environment and increases or decreases in the value of its currency may have a significant impact on the Group's operations and the customers' purchasing power.
In respect of other monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, the Group ensures that its net exposure is kept on an acceptable level (a reasonable level in prevailing circumstances) by buying or selling foreign currencies at spot rates when necessary to address current imbalances.
The Group is the most exposed to currency risks arising from fluctuations in the exchange rates of BYN and RUB. The Group has addressed this risk by keeping money in more stable currencies such as EUR. Currency risk management includes maintaining an appropriate balance in BYN and RUB which corresponds to the amount required to fulfil liabilities to respective suppliers. The Group does not use hedging to reduce currency risks.

During the reporting year, the exchange rates of currencies affecting the Group's operating results changed as follows against EUR (based on closing figures): Ukrainian hryvnia +11.0% (2020: -31.0%), US dollar -7.9% (2020: +9.9%), Belarusian ruble +9.0% (2020: -34.7%) and Russian ruble +7.6% (2020: -35,5%).

Based on the management's estimate as at the reporting date the fluctuation in EUR/BYN and RUB/EUR exchange rate shall not be more than 20% in average per annum.
A 20 percent weakening of BYN against EUR as of 31 December 2021 would affect profit or loss by the amounts presented below. This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 2020.

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Exposure to the interest rate risk arises from deposits with fixed interest rates. Management estimates that interest rate risk is not significant as Group does not have any non-current deposits or borrowings.
The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. The Group manages total equity including non-controlling interest as capital. The amount of capital managed by the Group was equal to 37 861 thousand EUR as of 31 December 2021 and 27 818 as of 31 December 2020. The externally imposed capital requirements arise from Estonian Commercial code, requiring a certain minimum level of owner's equity to be maintained. Those requirements are incorporated into the management of capital and have been met for all reporting periods. There were no changes in the Group's approach or in external requirements imposed on the Group's capital and capital management during the year. There are no plans to engage significant external capital.
The Republic of Belarus and Russian Federation display characteristics of an emerging markets, which are a subject to economic, political, social, legal and legislative risks, these are different from the risks of more developed markets. Laws and regulations affecting businesses in Belarus and Russia continue to change rapidly. Tax, currency and customs legislation is subject to varying interpretations, and other legal and fiscal impediments contribute to the challenges faced by entities currently operating in Belarus and Russia. The future economic direction of the countries is largely dependent upon the effectiveness of economic, fiscal and monetary measures undertaken by the government, together with legal, regulatory, and political developments.
The financial results of the Group have been impacted by both the changes in the currency exchange rates and the overall changes in the economy as well as political risks escalated in Belarus in middle of 2020.

The Group has entered into operating leases on its investment property portfolio consisting of certain manufacturing buildings (see Note 14). These leases have terms of between 4 and 14 years. Rental income recognised by the Group during the year is EUR 270 thousand (2020: EUR 236 thousand). The Group as the lessor do not have any non-cancellable operating lease contracts.
The Group`s operating segments have been determined based on regular reports being monitored and analysed by Management and Supervisory Boards (chief operational decision maker) of the parent company on an ongoing basis.
The Supervisory Board considers the business primarily from the activity perspective, monitoring separately wholesale and retail activities.
There is a strong integration between wholesale and retail segments mainly through sales of goods from wholesale segment for subsequent resale in own retail network. The accounting policies of reportable segments are the same. Management estimates that intersegment transactions have been done on arm-length basis.
Primary measures monitored by the Supervisory Board are segment revenues, segment EBITDA (which is defined as profit before depreciation, amortisation, net finance income, income tax expense and gain on net monetary position) and segment net profit. These measures are included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Management Board and the Supervisory Board. Segment EBITDA is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segment relative to other entities that operate within the industry. Interest income and interest expenses are not core activities of operating segments and are not provided to management and are not evaluated by management as performance assessment criteria of segments' performance. Therefore, interest income and interest expenses are presented on net basis.
Unallocated revenues include revenues from services.

AS Lauma Lingerie received state financial support by compensating the costs of the payroll, materials, transport and rent expenses in the total amount of EUR 550 000 by transferring it to the accounts in February – July 2021. There were no unfulfilled conditions and other contingencies attaching to mentioned government assistance recognized in 2021.
On 24 February 2022, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine started. As a result, several countries have and continue to impose new sanctions against Russian government entities, state-owned enterprises and certain specified entities and individuals linked to Russia anywhere in the world. Sanctions have also been imposed on Belarus.
The fluid situation, together with potential fluctuations in commodity prices, foreign exchange rates, restrictions to imports and exports, availability of local materials and services and access to local resources may have impact on Group's business operations as significant operations of the Group are located in Russia (major sales market) and Belarus (major production facility).
The management of the Group has assessed that these restrictive measures in response to the crisis in Ukraine do not have significant impact on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern at the present moment since the restrictive measures currently imposed do not have an adverse effect on the Group and Group's operations continue in a routine mode except for Ukraine, where operations had been halted on 24 February 2022. Ukrainian subsidiary does not have any stores in the Ukraine as it was involved only in the wholesales and thus, the impact is immaterial. Also, suspension of the activities in Ukraine does not result in a significant loss of a customer base for the Group as sales in the Ukrainian market in 2021 were just 3,3% of total Group sales. The Group does not have any property in Ukraine, all premises (office and warehouse) are operated under lease, so the value of the Group's net assets in the Ukrainian market at 2021 year-end was not material from the perspective of the consolidated financial statements for that year. As these circumstances occurred after the reporting date, no provision was allocated in this connection as of 31 December 2021.
With regards to the operations in Belarus and Russia no material changes have occurred up to the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements – the production sites work under normal conditions, none of the suppliers terminated the cooperation with the Group nor significant supply chain disruptions have been experienced by the Group so far. Also, the Group did not have any suppliers from Ukraine. The Group does not rely on external financing and current liquidity position of the Group allows it to continue its operations in the foreseeable future.
According to the preliminary assessment of the management of the Group the restrictive measures in response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict are not expected to have significant impact on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern provided the situation does not get worse substantially. The management of the Group continues to closely monitor the situation by performing regular risk assessment. To respond to the risks the management of the Group has developed several mitigating actions. For instance, the management is currently engaged in negotiations with its suppliers and wholesale clients regarding delivery and payment conditions to avoid any supply chain disruptions and for cash flow management purposes. Based on the circumstances mentioned above, the management of the Group concluded that going concern assumption is appropriate and these consolidated financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
Nevertheless, in the current geopolitical environment it is difficult to gauge the possible implications of this situation and additional potential risks, if any, for the Silvano Fashion Group, based on the multiple future potential developments in the short and medium term. Group's Management continues to track the unfolding conflict and its potential repercussions closely. The Group's Management, having considered all available information about the future which was obtained after the reporting period up to the date that the consolidated
financial statements are authorised for issue, including the status of the conflict, believes that the Group continues as a going concern. However, given the unpredictability of the situation and possible reactions of the government bodies involved, including future potential sanctions, as well as the fact that these circumstances are beyond the control of the Group's Management, there is a risk that further escalation of Russia-Ukraine conflict might result in adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position and net assets of the Silvano Fashion Group in the future. As a result, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
In addition, the management has concluded that these events are non-adjusting subsequent events and therefore their potential impact was not considered when making estimates and assumptions as at 31 December 2021. However, this matter might have a significant impact on these estimates in 2022 financial year. At the date of authorisation of these consolidated financial statements, the management is not yet able to reasonably quantify the extent of potential changes in accounting estimates in 2022 due to the rapidly changing situation, great level of uncertainty and the possible overall negative economic effect.
In accordance with the Accounting Act of Estonia, unconsolidated primary financial statements of consolidating unit (parent company) have been disclosed in the notes of the consolidated annual report. These unconsolidated primary financial statements do not constitute the parent company`s separate financial statements as defined in IAS 27 (Separate Financial Statements). The parent company's primary reports are prepared using the same accounting principles and estimation basis used on consolidated financial statements, excluding subsidiaries, which are accounted for in parent company's unconsolidated primary financial statements using cost method (minus impairment).

The difference between adjusted unconsolidated equity and the consolidated equity attributable to equity holders of the Company as at 31 December 2021 is caused by the fact that parent Company ceases to recognise its share of losses of particular subsidiaries once the investment has been reduced to zero when applying equity method while such losses are consolidated line by line in the consolidated financial statements of the Group. In addition, and the consolidated equity attributable to equity holders of the Company is affected by several adjustments which arise upon consolidation only.
The Management Board has prepared the Management Report, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Profit Allocation Proposal of AS Silvano Fashion Group for the year ended on 31 December 2021 in accordance with the accounting standards and the financial statements present a true and fair view of the group's assets, liabilities, financial position and profit.
The Supervisory Board of AS Silvano Fashion Group has reviewed the Consolidated Annual Report, prepared by the Management Board, consisting of the Management Report, the Consolidated Financial Statements, the Management Board's Profit Allocation Proposal and the Independent Auditor's Report, and has approved the Consolidated Annual Report 2021 for presentation at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Translation of the Estonian Original
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Silvano Fashion Group AS and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, and the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Estonia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the consolidated financial statements in Estonia, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We draw attention to Note 30 in the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that further escalation of Russia-Ukraine conflict and sanctions already imposed against Russia and Belarus as well as future potential sanctions, if any, could result in adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position and net assets of the Silvano Fashion Group AS. As stated in Note 30, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 30, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. In addition to the matters described in the "Material uncertainty related to going concern" section of our report, we have determined the matter described below to be the key audit matter to be communicated in our report. The matter was addressed in the context of the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor's opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on the matter. For the matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report, including in relation to the matter. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matter below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
This independent auditor's report (translation of the Estonian original) should only be used with the original document in machine-readable .xhtml format that is submitted to the Tallinn Stock Exchange (Link: https://nasdaqbaltic.com/statistics/en/instrument/EE3100001751/reports).
| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed the key audit matter |
|---|---|
| Inventory write down to net realizable value As at 31 December 2021 the Group's inventory balance amounted to EUR 20 906 thousand in the consolidated statement of financial position of the Group, accounted for at the lower of cost or net realizable value (Note 11). The Group sells ladies' lingerie that is subject to changing consumer demands and fashion trends. The fast moving nature of fashion requires assessing whether net realizable value of inventory is higher than the cost of inventory which involves significant management's judgment. In addition, this matter is significant to our audit due to materiality of the amounts as inventories constitute over 38% of the total assets of the Group in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021. |
Our audit procedures included, among others: ► Understanding of the inventory valuation process. ► We attended physical inventory counts at selected locations to validate procedures related to inspection of existence of the inventory, during which we also assessed the condition of inventory. ► We performed assessment of the management analysis of slow moving and obsolete inventories as at 31 December 2021 by reviewing inventory movements during 2021 as well as subsequent to year-end in 2022 to identify slow moving items. ► We tested the subsequent sales of inventory in January 2022 to identify items sold below their cost comparing the actual results with the management's estimate. ► We developed an independent estimate of the write-down loss for potentially discounted items, by applying the historical sales data to the inventory at the reporting date while taking into account its profile and age and comparing it to the calculations performed by the management. ► We recalculated the inventory write-downs to net realizable value for accuracy. ► We discussed with the management COVID-19 impact on inventory obsolescence and considered management assessment of the impact, including allowance calculations. ► We considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the |
| consolidated financial statements in this area (Note 3 and 11). |
Other information consists of Management report, Corporate Governance Report, Corporate Social Responsibility Report, Remuneration Report and Management Board's confirmation to the Management Report but does not consist of the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management is responsible for the other information.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
With respect to the Management report, we also performed the procedures required by the Auditors Activities Act of the Republic of Estonia. Those procedures include considering whether the Management report is consistent, in all material respects, with the consolidated financial statements and is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Accounting Act of the Republic of Estonia.
Furthermore, in accordance with Securities Market Act of the Republic of Estonia we are required to consider whether the Remuneration Report is prepared in compliance with the requirements of Article 1353 of the Securities Market Act of the Republic of Estonia.

Based on the work performed during our audit, in our opinion:
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the 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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's 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 International Standards on Auditing (Estonia) 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 consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (Estonia), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
► 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 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 auditor's report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern;
► evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation;
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 to 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 consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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.
Other requirements of the auditor's report in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
In accordance with the decision made on 30 June 2020 by the General Meeting of shareholders we have been appointed to carry out the audit of Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is 4 years, covering the periods ended 31 December 2018 to 31 December 2021.
Our audit opinion on the annual consolidated financial statements expressed herein is consistent with the additional report to the Supervisory Board and Audit Committee of the Group, which we issued in accordance with Article 11 of the Regulation (EU) No. 537/2014 on the same date as the date of this report.
We confirm that in light of our knowledge and belief, services provided to the Group are consistent with the requirements of the law and regulations and do not comprise non-audit services referred to in Article 5(1) of the Regulation (EU) No 537/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council. In addition to statutory audit services, we provided to the Group tax advisory services. Except for statutory audit services and tax advisory services, no other services were provided by us to the Group.
Based on our agreement we have been engaged by the management of the Group to conduct a reasonable assurance engagement for the verification of compliance with the applicable requirements of the European single electronic reporting format of the consolidated financial statements of the Group, including consolidated annual report for the year ended 31 December 2021 (the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements) contained in the file 529900JNG41RRJKJYB65-2021-12-31-en.zip (SHA-256-checksum: 8f37463eb697bf943e881d832561400d630887982d64d44ab87f1751d1e46815).

The Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements has been applied by the management of the Group to comply with the requirements of art. 3 and 4 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 "ESEF Regulation"). The applicable requirements regarding the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements are contained in the ESEF Regulation.
The requirements described in the preceding sentence determine the basis for application of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements and, in our view, these requirements constitute appropriate criteria to form a reasonable assurance conclusion.
The management is responsible for the application of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements that complies with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
This responsibility includes the selection and application of appropriate markups in iXBRL using ESEF taxonomy and designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant for the preparation of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements which is free from material non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Our responsibility was to express a reasonable assurance conclusion whether the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements complies with the ESEF Regulation.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) 'Assurance Engagements other than Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial Information' (the ,,ISAE 3000 (R)" ). This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements, plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements is prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that the service performed in accordance ISAE 3000 (R) will always detect the existing material misstatement (significant non-compliance with the requirements).
Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance that the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements was applied, in all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements and such application is free from material errors or omissions. Our procedures included in particular:
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
In our opinion, the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 complies, in all material respects, with the ESEF Regulation.
