INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT

To the shareholders of Granolio d.d., Zagreb:

Report on the audit of the annual consolidated financial statements

Opinion

We performed an audit of the annual consolidated financial statements of Granolio d.d., Zagreb, Budmanijeva 5 ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (the Group"), which include the Consolidated Statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, Consolidated Statement of comprehensive income, the Consolidated Statement of cash flows and the Consolidated Statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, as well as the accompanying Notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the information on significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying annual consolidated financial statements present a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as of 31 December 2024 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the International Auditing Standards (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in our Independent Auditors' report under section Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated annual financial statements. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (with International Independence Standards), issued by International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) (IESBA Code), as well as in accordance with the ethical requirements relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Republic of Croatia, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 3.2. "Basis of preparation" to the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that, based on the submitted request for pre-bankruptcy proceedings of the Company, the Commercial Court in Zagreb on 28 December 2018 adopted the final Decision on the Company's prebankruptcy settlement with its creditors. The Company continues to carry out measures included in the restructuring programme of the Company. The Management Board of the Company believes that the Company can continue its operations assuming a going concern principle. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, are of most significance in our audit of the consolidated annual financial statements for the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated annual financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Our opinion on the annual consolidated financial statements does not include other information.

In relation to our audit of the annual consolidated financial statements, it is our responsibility to read other information and consider the other information is materially inconsistent with the annual consolidated financial statements or our audit findings or otherwise appear to be materially misstated.

Regarding the Management Report and the Statement on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code, we also carried out the procedures required by the Croatian Accounting Act. These procedures include considering whether the Company's Management Report has been prepared in accordance with Article 22 and 24 of the Accounting Act and whether the Statement on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code has been prepared in accordance with Article 25 of the Accounting Act. Based on the procedures performed, to the extent we are able to assess, we report that:

1. The information in the attached Management Report and Statement on the Application of the Corporate Governance Code is harmonized, in all significant respects, with the attached consolidated annual financial statements;

2. The attached Management Report is compiled in accordance with Article 22 and 24 of the Accounting Act; and

Based on our knowledge and understanding of the Group's operations and the environment in which it operates, which we acquired during our audit, we are required to report whether we have identified material misstatements in the Management Report and Corporate Governance Statement received up to the date of this Independent Auditor's Report. In that sense, we have nothing to report.

Responsibilities of the Management Board and those charged with governance for the consolidated annual financial statements

Management Board is responsible for the preparation of consolidated annual financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs, and for those internal controls that the Management Board determines are necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated annual financial statements that are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated annual financial statements, Management Board is responsible for evaluation of the Group's ability to continue operations assuming going concern principle, disclosure, if applicable, of issues related to going concern, and using accounting based on going concern principle, unless the Management Board intends to liquidate the Group or discontinue its business or there is no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process established by the Group.

Report on the audit of the annual consolidated financial statements (continued)

Auditor's Responsibility for the audit of consolidated annual financial statements

Our goals are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated annual financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement as a result of fraud or error, and to issue an Independent Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a higher level of assurance, but this is no guarantee that an audit performed in accordance with IAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may result from fraud or error and are considered as important, if it can reasonably be expected that, individually or in aggregate, they affect the economic decisions of users made based on these unconsolidated annual financial statements.

As an integral part of the audit report in accordance with ISA, we make professional judgments and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit process. We also:

• identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures in response to those risks and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of non-detecting a material misstatement of fraud is greater than the risk of error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation or circumvention of internal controls.
• · acquire an understanding of internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal controls.
• · assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• · conclude on the appropriateness of the accounting basis used based on the going concern principle used by the Management Board and based on the obtained audit evidence, we conclude on whether there is significant uncertainty regarding events or circumstances that may create significant doubts about the ability to continue operating for an indefinite period of time. If we conclude that there is significant uncertainty, in our independent auditors' report we are required to call our attention to related disclosures in the consolidated annual financial statements or, if these are inappropriate, to modify our opinion.

Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our independent auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to discontinue its operations on a going concern basis.

• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual consolidated financial statements, including disclosures, as well as whether the annual consolidated financial statements reflect the transactions and events which they are based on in a way that achieves a fair presentation.
• · obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for directing, supervising and performing the audit of the Group. We are solely responsible for our audit opinion.

Report on the audit of the annual consolidated financial statements (continued)

Auditor's Responsibility for the audit of consolidated annual financial statements (continued)

We communicate with those charged with governance, among other issues, the intended scope and timing of audit and important audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls identified during our audit.

We also make a statement to those charged with governance that we have complied with the relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and that we will communicate with them any relationship and other matters that may reasonably be considered to affect our independence as well as, where applicable, on related safeguards.

Among the issues communicated to those charged with governance, we identify those issues that are the most important in auditing the annual consolidated financial statements of the current period and therefore present the key audit matters.

We describe these matters in our Independent Auditor's Report, unless the law or regulation prevents the matters from being publicly disclosed, or when we decide, in extremely rare circumstances, that the matter should not be reported in our Independent Auditors' Report because the negative consequences of the disclosure could reasonably be expected to outweigh the benefits of public interest from such communication

Statement on other legal requirements

On 12 June 2024, the General Assembly of the Company appointed us to audit the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year 2024.

As of the date of this report, we are continuously engaged in performing statutory audits of the Group from the audit of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year 2019 to the audit of the annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year 2024, which is a total of six years.

In our audit of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for 2024, we determined materiality for the consolidated financial statements as a whole in the amount of EUR 1,513 thousand, which represents approximately 1.6% of the sales revenue for 2024.

We have chosen sales revenue as a measure of materiality because we believe it is the most appropriate measure given the significant fluctuations in the current and prior periods.

Our audit opinion is consistent with the supplementary report for the Audit committee of the Group prepared in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of Regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.

During the period between the starting date of the audited annual consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2024 and the date of this Independent Auditor's Report, we did not provide prohibited non-audit services to the Group and did not provide services for the design and implementation of internal control procedures or risk management related to preparation and/or control of financial information or the design and implementation of technological systems for financial information, and we have maintained independence in relation to the Company.

Procedures performed

The nature, timing and extent of the procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance. However, it does not assure that the scope of testing will reveal all significant (material) non-compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

The aim of our procedures was to assess whether:

• the financial statements, which are included in the consolidated annual report, are prepared in the valid XHTML format,
• are labelled and all labels meet the following requirements:
• XBRL mark-up language was used,
• the elements of the basic taxonomy listed in the ESEF Regulation with the closest accounting meaning were used, unless an additional element of taxonomy has been created in accordance with Annex IV ESEF Regulations,
