(the "Company") is pleased to announce the following highlights of the financial results of the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Harvest Group") as at 31st March, 2021, as extracted from the unaudited management accounts of the Company as at such date:

• the unaudited consolidated Net Profit Before Tax of the Harvest Group as at end March 2021 amounted to €1,117,061. This marks an improvement of 7% over the projected consolidated Net Profit Before Tax of the Harvest Group for the period and a 34% increase of the Net Profit Before Tax for the same period in the preceding year;

In this light, the Board is re-iterating its Net Profit Before Tax target of €4,000,000 for the financial year ending 31 December 2021 previously communicated in the company announcement dated 9th December 2020 (HRV 12/2020 - Review of 2020 performance, and outlook for 2021).
