We have audited the separate financial statements of AD Plastik d.d. ("the Company"), which comprise the separate statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024, and its separate statements of comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity for the year then ended, and notes, comprising material accounting policies and other explanatory information (further referred to as "the financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the unconsolidated financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2024 and of unconsolidated financial performance and its unconsolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("EU IFRS").
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Croatia and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue in 2024: EUR 111,152 thousand (2023: EUR 89,388 thousand). As at 31 December 2024, trade receivables: EUR 21,916 thousand; accrued revenue: EUR 325 thousand (31 December 2023, trade receivables: EUR 17,029 thousand; accrued revenue: EUR 343 thousand).
Please refer to the Note 2.3 Revenue recognition of Significant accounting policies and Note 4 Sales in the financial statements.
Revenue is an important metric used to evaluate the financial performance of the Company. In the year ended 31 December 2024, its principal revenue streams included sales of car parts and of customized tools developed by the Company. As discussed in Note 2.3, revenue is recognized when control over the goods is transferred to the customer.
Application of the revenue recognition principles of the relevant financial reporting standard, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("the Standard"), is complex and requires making significant assumptions and judgment. In the Company's case, particular complexity is associated with the following aspects:
Our audit procedures in this area included, among others:

In the wake of the above factors, we considered revenue recognition to be associated with a significant risk of material misstatement in the separate financial statements. Therefore, the area required our increased attention in the audit and as such was determined to be a key audit matter.

Please refer to notes 2.2 Basis of preparation and 3 Critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty, going concern assumption section
| Key audit matter | How our audit addressed the matter |
|---|---|
| The Company's financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. On the reporting date the Company had negative net working capital. The Company's going concern assessment is based on the cash flows forecast, which, according to the management's assessment, support the claim that the Company will have sufficient funds to continue operations for at least 12 months from the reporting date. A number of assumptions and significant judgments are incorporated into the preparation of these forecasts. Management concluded that the range of possible outcomes considered in the assessment process does not lead to material uncertainty regarding events or circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company's use of the going concern basis of accounting is a key audit matter due to the associated extent of uncertainty and consequently high level of |
Our procedures in this area included, among others: • Review of the minutes of the Management Board and Supervisory Board meetings, with the goal of identifying the measures that the Management Board intends to implement in order to ensure sufficient funds for current activities; • Discussion with management about plans for future activities in relation to the going concern assumption, whether the outcome of those plans is likely to improve the situation and whether management's plans are feasible in the circumstances; • Analysis of the Company's net working capital position as of 31 December 2024 to assess the availability of liquid funds to meet short-term financial obligations; • Evaluating the historical accuracy of management budgeting by comparing historical cash flow projections with actual outcomes and analysing sensitivity of the budgets to changes in key assumptions and considering whether the level of key assumptions indicates |

• Assessing whether, in light of the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework, the separate financial statements provide adequate disclosures about events or circumstances that have been identified that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Management Report (including the Sustainability Statement as a separate part of the Management Report) and Corporate Governance Report included in the Annual Report of the Company but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements, or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With regard to the Management Report and the Corporate Governance Report, we also performed procedures prescribed by applicable legal requirements and we report that:
If, based on the work we have performed above, we conclude that there is a material misstatement, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with EU IFRS, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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 controls that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
We were appointed by those charged with governance on 18 July 2024 to audit the separate financial statements of AD Plastik d.d. for the year ended 31 December 2024. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is five years, covering the period from 31 December 2020 to 31 December 2024.
We confirm that:
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report is Domagoj Hrkać.

In accordance with the requirements of Article 462 paragraph 5 of the Capital Market Act, we are required to express an opinion on compliance of the separate financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024, as included in the attached electronic file "adplastik-drustvo-2024-12-31-0-en.zip", with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format (the "RTS on ESEF").
Management is responsible for the preparation of the separate financial statements in a digital format that complies with the RTS on ESEF. This responsibility includes:
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's ESEF reporting, as a part of the financial reporting process.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the separate financial statements comply, in all material respects, with the RTS on ESEF, based on the evidence we have obtained. We conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information (ISAE 3000) issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board.

A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 involves performing procedures to obtain evidence about compliance with the RTS on ESEF. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the RTS on ESEF, whether due to fraud or error. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance. However, it does not guarantee that the scope of procedures will identify all significant (material) non-compliance with the RTS on ESEF.
Our procedures included, among other things:
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, based on the procedures performed and evidence obtained, the separate financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2024, presented in ESEF format and contained in the aforementioned attached electronic file, have been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements of the RTS on ESEF.
Our conclusion does not represent an opinion on the true and fair view of the financial statements as this is included in our Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements. Furthermore, we do not express any assurance with respect to other information included in documents in the ESEF format.
