The Company and the Group have debt of NOK 3.867, respectively NOK 6.283. The Company has a revolving overdraft facility of NOK4.000. Increases in intereste rates will affect the Company. Should these be prolonged and substantially permanently higher, this could affect the Company's profitability.

With regards to other market risks, there are the possibility of increased competition for winning clients, however this risk is viewed as low due to the significant number of potential clients and the secular growth of the Company's target market.
In order to quantify the risk of not achieving the company plans and goals, we view this as low to medium risk. There are always risks in achieving plans, however the company has good visibility for existing contracts and with the view of our pipeline going forward.

The result for the year for the Company and Group were respectively a loss after tax of NOK 11 918 and NOK 19 626. These will be allocated to Share Premium.
The Board and CEO is of the opinion that the profit & loss statement and balance sheet, including the explanatory notes contained therein, includes a fair description of the 2021 operations and the financial status at the end of the year, December 31, 2021.
The Huddlestock teams are relentlessly focused on growing our business; we remain completely sold out within our consulting business and have, since the beginning of the year, expanded our team with 4 new hires to meet increased demand from existing clients. We are also seeing increased demand for our capital markets expertise from new potential clients; in February 2022, our leading fintech consultancy business won a mandate with Danish fintech company Lunar.
The ongoing war in Ukraine has somewhat affected the roll- out of our technology. We are monitoring the situation for both direct and indirect consequences, as well as any increased cyber risks, and are working closely with our local partner. At the time of this report, our partners are unharmed and continue to operate under suboptimal conditions. Huddlestock Fintech and its daughter companies have no direct investments in Ukraine. While the situation, if prolonged for an extended period, would somewhat affect the implementation timelines and ongoing deliveries for existing client commitments, we continue to see high demand for our SaaS white label trading solution. Since the beginning of the year we have signed agreements with a leading Nordic investor news site counting more than 25.000 users, and a Northern European investment club of sophisticated retail traders, to launch a retail trading offer by implementing Huddlestock's Bedrock Software- as- a- Servicesolution.
M&A remains a core part of Huddlestock's strategy, and at the end of March, a term sheet was signed with the intention to acquire 100% of F5 IT, a software developer focused on customised application and integration solutions within Fintech, Proptech and loT, for a total consideration of NOK 32m paid in Huddlestock Fintech shares, to be paid in two tranches of NOK 20m and NOK 12m. The latter payment is tied to mutually agreed performance targets and agreed paid over a period of three years in 3 instalments. The company is highly complementary with existing Huddlestock operations and will further the company onshoring strategy. This aquistion will also accelerate our ambition to become a leading Fintech in Europe.
Revenues were lower in 2021 than expected, with Covid- 19 playing a key role. Regardless of this, the Huddlestock Group is well capitalized, and will have capital going forward. The company is also experiencing strong interest in its products and technology. The Company has taken the necessary steps to cut costs during 2021 so that the company does not incur unnecessarily large operating and development costs. Furthermore, the company has sufficient liquidity to manage without income in the next 12 months and the board has no qualms about presenting the annual accounts under the assumption of continued operations.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway (NGAAP) for smaller Companies and NRS 8. The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
The Company is listed on Euronext Growth, and is therefore required to prepare consolidated financial statements.
All amounts are presented in thousands of NOK, unless otherwise clearly stated.
The Company's head office is located at Forus in Stavanger municipality, Norway. In addition to the parent entity, Huddlestock Fintech AS, headquartered in Stavanger, Norway, the group includes the subsidiaries Huddlestock Technologies AS, Oslo, Norway; Huddlestock Systems GmbH, Munich, Germany; Visigon Nordic AB and Visigon Sweden AB, Stockholm, Sweden; Visigon Denmark ApS, Copenhagen, Denmark; and Huddlestock Asia Sdn Bhd, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It has offices in Norway, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Asia, respectively.
The Group entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Opera Financial Technologies Limited on 22 September 2020, regarding sale and purchase of all issued shares in Dovre Forvaltning UAB. The transaction was dependent on approval from Bank of Lithuania. Opera Financial Technologies Limited never received an approval, so the deal was cancelled at the 'long stop date'. Thereafter did the Group enter into a new sales agreement with DTSocialize Holding. All the proceeds from the sale has been received. The associated assets and liabilities were consequently presented as discontinued operations in the consolidated consolidated financial statements in 2020.
A discontinued operation is a component of the entity that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale and that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations, is part of a single co‐ordinated plan to dispose of such a line of business or area of operations, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
The results of discontinued operations are presented separately in the statement of profit or loss.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with uniform policies by converting the subsidiaries to the same principles as the parent company.
Assets intended for long-term ownership or use are classified as non-current assets. Assets associated with the normal operating cycle are classified as current assets. Receivables are classified as current assets if they fall due within one year. Analogue criteria are applied to liablilites. Unless otherwise stated, long-term liabilities also includes next year's installments.
The functional currency of the parent entity is NOK. For consolidation purposes, the results and financial position of all the Group's entities that have a functional currency other than NOK are translated to the closing rate at the reporting date of each month. Income and expenses for each income statement are translated to the average exchange rate for the period, this being a reasonable approximation for estimating actual rate. Exchange differences are recognized directly against equity.

The group receives government grants in relation to its research and development activities. When such grants are received to carry out certain activities or compensate specific expenses, the grant is recognised in the income statement over the same period as the associated costs. Grants that compensate the group for the cost of an asset are recognised as a reduction in the carrying value of the related asset and recognised as reduced depreciation over the useful life of the asset.
The current Skattefunn-project is approved from 2019 to 2021 og relates to the development of a platform that makes investment in the share- and blockchain market understandable and available for the public. Internally, the project is named "Marketplace for Investing" (MiF).

The valuations techniques used for measuring the fair value of aquired assets were as follows
Fair value of aquired technology has been calculated based on a reproduction cost from an analysis of the relevant cost components used in developing the technology.
Fair value of customer relationships are calculated by usineg the excess earnings method, taken into account the rate of customer attrition, revenue growth, and increase in estimated operating margins. The calculations are based on discussion with management, management estimates and long-term growth rates.
Fair value of order backlog has been calculated using the firm contracts as of the aquisition date with an estimated margin.
For remaining assets and liabilities fair values are assumed to equal book values.
Goodwill arising from the aquisition has been recognised as follows
| Transaction price | 60 307 |
|---|---|
| Fair value of identifiable net assets | 15 203 |
| Goodwill | 45 105 |
Goodwill reflects economiesof scale, geographic presentence, Huddlestock's established market position and potential for continous growth.
The Huddlestock teams are relentlessly focused on growing our business; we remain completely sold out within our consulting business and have, since the beginning of the year, expanded our team with 4 new hires to meet increased demand from existing clients. We are also seeing increased demand for our capital markets expertise from new potential clients; in February 2022, our leading fintech consultancy business won a mandate with Danish fintech company Lunar.
The ongoing war in Ukraine has somewhat affected the roll- out of our technology. We are monitoring the situation for both direct and indirect consequences, as well as any increased cyber risks, and are working closely with our local partner. At the time of this report, our partners are unharmed and continue to operate under suboptimal conditions. Huddlestock Fintech and its daughter companies have no direct investments in Ukraine. While the situation, if prolonged for an extended period, would somewhat affect the implementation timelines and ongoing deliveries for existing client commitments, we continue to see high demand for our SaaS white label trading solution. Since the beginning of the year we have signed agreements with a leading Nordic investor news site counting more than 25.000 users, and a Northern European investment club of sophisticated retail traders, to launch a retail trading offer by implementing Huddlestock's Bedrock Software- as- a- Servicesolution.
M&A remains a core part of Huddlestock's strategy, and at the end of March, a term sheet was signed with the intention to acquire 100% of F5 IT, a software developer focused on customised application and integration solutions within Fintech, Proptech and loT, for a total consideration of NOK 32m paid in Huddlestock Fintech shares, to be paid in two tranches of NOK 20m and NOK 12m. The latter payment is tied to mutually agreed performance targets and agreed paid over a period of three years in 3 instalments. The company is highly complementary with existing Huddlestock operations and will further the company onshoring strategy. This aquistion will also accelerate our ambition to become a leading Fintech in Europe.
Revenues has become lower in 2021 than expected, with Covid- 19 playing a key role. Regardless of this, the Huddlestock Group is well capitalized, and will have capital going forward. The company is also experiencing strong interest in our products and technology. The company has taken the necessary steps to cut costs during 2021 so that the company does not incur unnecessarilylarge operating and development costs. Furthermore, the company has sufficient liquidity to manage without income in the next 12 months and the board has no qualms about presenting the annual accounts under the assumption of continued operations.

M&A remains a core part of Huddlestock's strategy, and at the end of March, a term sheet was signed with the intention to acquire 100% of F5 IT, a software developer focused on customised application and integration solutions within Fintech, Proptech and loT, for a total consideration of NOK 32m paid in Huddlestock Fintech shares, to be paid in two tranches of NOK 20m and NOK 12m. The latter payment is tied to mutually agreed performance targets and agreed paid over a period of three years in 3 instalments. The company is highly complementary with existing Huddlestock operations and will further the company onshoring strategy. This aquistion will also accelerate our ambition to become a leading Fintech in Europe.
Revenues has become lower in 2021 than expected, with Covid- 19 playing a key role. Regardless of this, the Huddlestock Group is well capitalized, and will have capital going forward. The company is also experiencing strong interest in our products and technology. The company has taken the necessary steps to cut costs during 2021 so that the company does not incur unnecessarilylarge operating and development costs. Furthermore, the company has sufficient liquidity to manage without income in the next 12 months and the board has no qualms about presenting the annual accounts under the assumption of continued operations.
