5th Planet Games A/S INTERIM REPORT 1 st half year 2021 Six months ended 30 June 2021
CEO-letter: H1 Financial Results Prompt exciting new direction for 5PG
For 5th Planet Games, the primary focus in the first half of 2021 has been on 3 things:
- Improving our key mobile game title, Tintin Match3 based on the Adventures of Tintin, which was released on August 31, 2020.
- Development of our new mobile Lego Match3 game.
- Finalizing the development of Vikings (working title) that has been developed external to the company.
We have not achieved the level of success on these mobile titles that we want, and so have decided instead to focus on our partnership with Skybound.
Another main focus in the first half year has been to secure Strategic Financing. This has now been done successfully through a capital increase in September 2021 with Skybound Entertainment, which now secures the operations for the company for the long-term.
Following the closing of Skybound Entertainments NOK 86m investment in 5PG over the next two years, much work has been done in recent weeks on the strategy behind this investment. The strategy will initially focus on three pillars, all of which were outlined by Interim CEO Mark Stanger in an investor call on 14th Sept 2021, in summary the initial strategy will focus on:
- 1. 5PG mirroring the games publishing strategy of Skybound Games and coordinating publishing activity across the EMEA markets from its head office in Copenhagen.
- 2. Looking at the broader range of products currently offered by Skybound and assessing their viability in the EMEA markets, these product categories include tabletop games (board games), merchandise, comics and graphical novels.
- 3. Working in partnership with Skybound to review potential Nordic partnerships in terms of games development and IP. With its wide network and extensive history in the Nordic markets, 5PG will lead this initiative on behalf of the partnership.
5PG and Skybound have identified the first two IPs from Skybound's rich catalogue of content, that will be the initial focus of their publishing efforts, the IPs are the recently released PC 'Before Your Eyes' and the global hit, 'The Walking Dead'.

Independent Auditors' review report
To the shareholders of 5th Planet Games A/S
We have reviewed the interim consolidated financial statements of Hugo Games A/S for the period 1 January 2021 – 30 June 2021 comprising income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity as well as selected explanatory notes, including summary of significant accounting policies (pages 8-14).
The Board of Directors' and the Management's responsibility for the interim consolidated financial statements
The Board of Directors and the Management are responsible for the preparation of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for interim financial reporting of listed companies, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim consolidated financial statements based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and additional requirements under Danish Auditor regulation. This requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework. This also requires us to comply with ethical requirements.
A review of interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Standard on Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity is a limited assurance engagement. The auditor performs procedures, primarily consisting of making inquiries of management and others within the entity, as appropriate, and applying analytical procedures, and evaluates the evidence obtained.
The procedures performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the interim consolidated financial statements.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim consolidated financial statements for the period 1 January 2021 – 30 June 2021 are not prepared in all material respects in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for interim financial reporting of listed companies.
