SAF Tehnika JSC and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the Group) design, manufacture, and distribute digital microwave transmission equipment. The Group's activities can be divided into three categories:
The Group's accumulated experience and knowledge has allowed to develop a range of innovative products, including launching and developing a series of the world's smallest microwave spectrum analyzers Spectrum Compact, as well as creating the Aranet brand of wireless sensor network solutions.
The Group offers comprehensive and cost-effective solutions in both public and private sectors.
In the financial year (FY) 2023/2024, the Group's net turnover amounted to EUR 27.09 million, which is EUR 10.17 million or 27% less than in the previous financial year 2022/2023. The net turnover of the Parent Company in FY 2023/2024 was EUR 23.26 million, which is EUR 8.78 million or 27% lower than the previous financial year 2022/2023.
The turnover of the American region, which accounts for sales in both North, South and Central Americas, represented 61% of the Group's annual turnover and amounted to EUR 16.6 million, which is 38% less than last year. Marketing, sales, product warehousing and logistics services of the Group's products in the US and Canada were provided by the US-based subsidiary – SAF North America LLC. Sales in the European and CIS region were equivalent to the previous year. In the AMEA (Asia, Middle East, Africa) region, sales decreased by EUR 590 thousand. The largest drop in net turnover was observed in the American region, and there is not just one specific reason for this, but several factors. In one of the Group's sales divisions, the implementation of several projects was temporarily suspended, and, due to intense competition, the initially planned sales prices for some projects had to be reduced. Furthermore, several key partners had already made warehouse purchases in the previous financial year, resulting in a decline in orders for 2023/2024.
Throughout the reporting year, new products were developed, and efforts were initiated on faster-to-implement product development initiatives. The average product lifecycle for microwave wireless data transmission equipment in the industry is approximately 5 years, after which older-generation devices are replaced with more advanced models. The transition to new technology is gradual and takes several years to complete.
Also, the Group offered product-related services and continued to develop specific and individual customer-requested functionality for SAF Tehnika JSC products.
Even with the modernization of the telecommunications market toward fiber optic communications, there is still a strong demand for radio systems that provide enhanced data rates. Therefore, the Group continues to actively research the market and identify key issues in order to propose necessary product modifications and develop prototypes for nextgeneration technologies. At the same time, the Group develops IoT solutions for both business and consumer segments, diversifying its product line, creating higher added value for SAF Tehnika product offerings, and increasing the Group's revenue.
The Group's sales revenue in countries outside Latvia accounted for 96.53% of the total turnover (95.96% for the Parent Company, respectively) and amounted to EUR 26.14 million (EUR 22.3 million for the Parent Company). In the reporting year, the Group sold its products in 88 countries around the world.
The Group's cash balance at the end of the year was EUR 2.21 million (EUR 1.49 million for the Parent Company, respectively), which is EUR 1.25 million (EUR 51 thousand for the Parent Company, respectively) less than at the end of the previous reporting year. To ensure liquidity, during the reporting year, the Parent Company continued the Credit Line Agreement with Luminor Bank AS for the total amount of EUR 4.95 million. At the end of the reporting period, the credit line was not used.
During the reporting year, the Group invested EUR 1.29 million in acquiring IT infrastructure, production and research equipment, software and licenses, product certification, and the renovation of premises.
The Group's operations in previous years were impacted by the global shortage of various electronic components. By regularly reviewing procurement volumes and deadlines, the company accumulated material reserves (inventories) to be able to fulfil most of the orders within normal lead times. During the financial year, delivery times have significantly improved. Following the principle of prudence, and without changing the Group's policy on slow-moving stocks – the stocks that over the period of 12, 9 or 6 months, respectively, have moved by less than 30% of their amount at the beginning of the period are recognized as slow-moving inventory. Total provisions on slow-moving inventory (compared to the volume at the end of the previous financial year) increased by EUR 1.84 million.

Total provisions on slow-moving inventory (compared to the volume at the end of the previous financial year) increased by EUR 1.84 million.
The Group manages financial risks, including market, credit, liquidity, and cash flow risks, by implementing a structured risk management policy. Various financial instruments are utilized to mitigate foreign currency risk. Credit risk management involves assessing the financial condition of both new and existing clients and adjusting contract terms according to the associated risks. In liquidity management, the Group maintains sufficient cash reserves, including a credit line, to meet potential obligations. The approach to cash flow risk includes careful planning and forecasting to ensure sustainable development and stability.
The Group ended the financial year 2023/2024 with losses of EUR 2.37 million (the Parent Company – with losses of EUR 1.34 million, respectively). The result of the Group's activities for the previous financial year was a profit of EUR 3.53 million (EUR 3.12 million for the Parent Company, respectively).
The foundation of the Group's long-term growth and success is its ability to ensure continuous product innovation. During the reporting period, the development and enhancement of the microwave wireless data transmission product line continued. Solutions were found to improve product functionality and quality, as well as to reduce production costs. The Group continued to design and develop the Aranet functionality within the IoT environmental monitoring solution, as well as kept working on the development of the Aranet Cloud service. Aranet is an industrial-grade wireless environmental monitoring solution that allows taking measurements of various environmental parameters over a wide area, including monitoring of temperature, humidity, and CO2.
Frameworks have been established for the launch of new products, as well as for the improvement and refurbishment of existing ones. Technologically, SAF Tehnika products are interconnected. The development and existence of such products provides a wider range of the Group's offerings. During the reporting period, the Group's product development projects received co-financing in the amount of EUR 359 thousand from the Latvian electrical and optical equipment industry competence center "LEO Pētījumu centrs" SIA.
SAF Tehnika JSC has extensive experience and knowledge in the design and production of microwave transmission equipment. The Group is capable of providing high-quality products for a broad market, as well as developing specialized niche solutions. The Group's goal is to continue developing next-generation data transmission equipment while maintaining a focus on the quality development of microwave transmission products and exploring new, innovative applications in this field. It is planned to continue to offer not only standardized solutions, but also products tailored to specific needs. The goal is to stabilize the revenue level, ensuring a positive net result in the long term.
The Group's management assesses the loss situation for the reporting year as temporary. The net cash flow from the core operations of both the Group and the Parent Company was positive during the reporting year. The Group will continue its chosen strategy of developing competitive wireless data transmission products and solutions for new export markets, focusing on strategic market niches in terms of both products and regions.
Although the direct impact on the Group's operations during the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine by Russia has been relatively limited, the overall uncertainty in the business environment continues. The Group continues to monitor potential cost increase forecasts and assess the associated risks. The company regularly reviews procurement volumes and deadlines, and continues to provide material reserves in order to be able to fulfil most of the orders within normal lead times. This applies to all SAF product families – microwave links, Spectrum Compact and Aranet.
The Group views projections for future operational periods positively; however, it remains cautious, and the Board of the Parent Company refrains from making any statements about future sales and financial results.
Between the last day of the reporting year and the date of signing these financial statements, there have been no events that would significantly affect the financial position of the Group and/or the Parent Company as of June 30, 2024, or the financial results and cash flows for the relevant reporting year.
The Board of the Parent Company proposes to cover the losses from the reporting year with profits from previous years.
The Corporate Governance Report for 2023/2024 has also been submitted to Nasdaq Riga AS together with these separate and consolidated Financial Statements 2023/2024 by SAF Tehnika JSC.

These financial statements are prepared using the accounting policies and valuation principles set out below. These principles have been applied consistently to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Starting from July 1, 2023, the Group (Parent Company) has adopted an accounting policy for the disclosure of information (amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement No. 2). The amendments specify that "material" rather than "significant" accounting policies should be disclosed. While the amendments did not result in any changes to the accounting policies themselves, they did affect the information on accounting policies disclosed in Note 2 (for more details, see Note 3).
These financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU). The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for investments in equity instruments that are measured at fair value. The financial statements have been prepared based on the going concern assumption. The financial statements are presented in euros (EUR). The financial statements cover the period from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases. Subsidiaries of the Group were established by the parent company, therefore business combinations and resulting acquisition accounting does not apply to the Group.

Notes to the financial statements (continued)
2. Summary of applied key accounting principles (continued)
Internal transactions, account balances and unrealized gains from transactions between the Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized loss is also eliminated unless objective evidence exists that the asset involved in the transaction has impaired.
In the separate financial statements of the Parent company investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method under IAS 27 "Separate Financial Statements".
Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which the right to receive the dividends arises.
(a) Functional and reporting currency
The functional currency of the Group and the Parent company and the reporting currency is the official currency of the Republic of Latvia - euro (EUR).
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into functional currency (EUR) of the Group (Parent company) at the reference exchange rate set by the European Central Bank as at the transaction date. Foreign monetary asset and liability items are revalued to functional currency of the Group (Parent company) according to closing rate published on the official website of the European Central Bank on the reporting date. The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates are recognized in the statement of profit or loss.
| 30.06.2024 | 30.06.2023 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 USD | 1.07050 | 1.08660 | |
| 1 GBP | 0.84638 | 0.85828 | |
| 1 CHF | 0.96340 | 0.97880 | |
| 1 SGD | 1.45130 | 1.47320 |
The results of operations and the financial position of the Group companies (none of which are operating in hyperinflation economics) that operate with functional currencies other than the reporting currency are translated to the reporting currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities are converted according to exchange rate as at the date of statement of financial position;
(ii) Transactions of the statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income are revalued according to the average exchange rate of the relevant foreign currency for the reporting year; and
(iii) All resulting exchange differences are initially recognized in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the Group disposes of the respective foreign operation.
Property, plant and equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenses directly related to acquisition of PPE. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of such PPE item if the asset recognition criteria are met.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the entire useful lives of the respective PPE item to write down each asset to its estimated residual value over its estimated useful life using the following rates:
| % per year | |
|---|---|
| Technological equipment | 25 |
| Vehicles | 20 |
| Other equipment and machinery | 20 – 50 |
The assets' residual values, useful lives and methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the last day of each reporting year. An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount exceeds its estimated recoverable amount (see Note G).
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)
Trademarks and licenses have a definite useful life and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis to allocate the costs of trademarks and licenses over their estimated useful life, which usually is 3 years.
The acquired software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the purchase and installation costs. These costs are amortised over their estimated useful lives, usually of 4 years.
All non-financial assets of the Group and the Parent Company have a definite useful life. The Group (Parent Company) assesses at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an item of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, right-to-use assets and other non-current assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets that are not put into operation are not amortized and are reviewed annually.
All Group's (Parent company's) assets are allocated to two cash generating units that are identified as Group's (Parent company's) operating segments (see Note 17). No impairment indicators have been noted.
Segments reportable in financial statements are business segments or aggregations of business segments that meet certain criteria and for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker in making decisions about the allocation of resources and performance evaluation. Segment results that are reported to the Chief Executive Officer of the Group (Parent company) include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items comprise mainly corporate assets (primarily the Group's (Parent company's) headquarters), head office expenses, and tax assets and liabilities. Information on the Group's (Parent company's) operating segments is disclosed in Note 17.
Government and international organisations grants are recognized where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be complied with. Government grants are systematically recognized as income in the respective periods in order to balance them with compensated expenses thus recognizing receivables. Where the grant relates to non-current asset, the fair value is initially credited to a deferred income account and is released to the statement of profit or loss over the expected useful life of the relevant asset. Grants that are not intended to provide an incentive to incur specific expenses are recognized as income when the Group (Parent Company) becomes eligible for the grant. In case the co-financing has been granted, however the cash is not yet received, respective receivables are recognized in Statement of Financial Position under Other receivables.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is measured based on the first in – first out (FIFO) method. Costs of finished goods and work-in-progress include cost of materials and labour as well as allocated production overhead costs.
Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of Groups (Parent companys) business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. Estimating the net sales value of inventory, the carrying amount is reduced in relation to the slow-moving inventory. Slow-moving inventory is the inventory whose movement in 12, 9 or 6-month period respectively has been less than 30% comparing with the amount at the beginning of period. Provisions for slow-moving inventory are made according to the following rates:
| The time interval where there has not been | Provision rate % | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| movement | |||
| 6 to 8 months | 20 | ||
| 9 to 11 months | 50 | ||
| 12 months and more | 100 |
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)
The Group (the Parent company) classifies its financial assets in the following measurement categories:
• those subsequently measured at fair value (with revaluation in either profit or loss or other comprehensive income), and
• those to be measured at amortized cost.
The classification and subsequent measurement depend on the Group's (Parent company's) business model for managing the related assets portfolio and the cash flow characteristics of the asset.
Subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the entity's business model for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. All debt instruments of the Group (the Parent company) are classified in an amortised cost valuation category.
Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income from these financial assets is included financial income based on effective interest rate method. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition is recognized directly in profit or loss and presented in other gains/ (losses) together with impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. On 1 July 2023 and 30 June 2024, the Group's (the Parent company's) financial assets measured at amortized cost comprise: trade receivables and cash and cash equivalents.
Upon initial recognition, the Group (the Parent company) can elect to classify irrevocably its equity investments as equity instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss when they meet the definition of equity under IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation and are not held for trading. The classification is determined on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
Loans are recognized initially at the proceeds received net of transaction costs incurred. Afterwards loans are recognized at historic cost which is diminished by the amounts of principal repayment made. The difference between the cash proceeds received net of transactions costs incurred and the net amount of loan principal repayable is released to the statement of profit or loss over the term of loan repayment using the effective interest rate of the loan. This difference is recognized as part of the financial costs.
The Group (the Parent company) determines expected credit loss from its debt instruments accounted at amortised cost. Methods used for assessment of impairment depend on whether credit risk has increased significantly.
Expected credit loss is assessed based on:
• objective and potential amount that is assessed through analysis or a range of potential outcomes;
• time value of money;
• all the reasonable and supportable information about past events, current conditions and future forecasts available at the end of each reporting period without undue cost or efforts.
The Group (the Parent company) applies simplified approach to trade receivables and accrued income without significant financing component as allowed by IFRS 9, which requires accrual of lifetime expected credit losses for all trade receivables grouped on the basis of common credit characteristics and overdue payments. The rates of expected credit loss are based on the dynamics of payments (for sales) during the last 3 years, as well as historical credit losses in the respective historic period. The amount of historical loss is adjusted to reflect current and future information.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are charged against the share premium account.
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)
Corporate income tax for the reporting period is included in the financial statements based on the management's calculations prepared in accordance with requirements of tax legislation of each company of the Group. With respect to the Group's parent company in Latvia, corporate income tax is calculated on distributed profit (20/80 of the net amount payable to shareholders) as well as on conditionally distributed profit (20/80 of the calculated taxable base). Corporate tax on distributed profit is recognized when the Company's shareholders approve the distribution of profit.
The Company also calculates and pays corporate income tax on conditionally distributed profit, including statutory taxable items, such as non-operating expenses, amounts of other transactions if they meet the criteria set out in the Corporate Income Tax Law, as well as other expenses in excess of statutory deduction thresholds. Such tax is not an income tax in the context of IAS 12 because it is calculated on a gross rather than a net basis and is therefore recognized in the statement of profit or loss as other operating expense.
Deferred income tax within the Group is calculated for those subsidiaries of the Group that are not located in Latvia. Deferred income tax is calculated on all significant temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred tax assets are recognized in the Group's statement of financial position if their realization in the future is probable.
Salary liabilities, including non-monetary benefits, bonus plans, annual leave, are recognized for employee services until the end of the reporting period and measured at the amounts expected to be paid to settle the liability. The Group (Parent company) makes social insurance contributions under the State's health, retirement benefit and unemployment schemes at the statutory rates in force during the year, based on gross salary payments. The Group (Parent company) will have no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the statutory fund cannot settle their liabilities towards the employees. Social insurance and pension plan contributions are included in the expenditures in the same period as the related salary cost. Provisions for unused annual leaves are estimated by multiplying the average daily earnings of employees for the last six months of the reporting year by the number of unused vacation days accrued at the end of the reporting year. These liabilities are shown as short-term accrued liabilities.
The Group (Parent company) is a designer, manufacturer and distributor of digital microwave transmission equipment providing alternative to cable channels. The Group provides products to mobile network operators, information service providers (such as internet service providers and telecommunication companies), public institutions and private businesses. The Group operates in two separate segments: (1) operations with products developed and manufactured by the Group and (2) operations with products acquired from other producers, including, sales of antennae, cables, rebranded (OEM-ed) and other side products.
Revenue is income generated on the course of the Group's (the Parent company's) ordinary operations. Revenue is recognised at transaction price. Transaction price is the amount of consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of third parties. The Group (the Parent company) recognises revenue at the moment of transfer of control over the goods or services to the client.
Revenue is recognised at the moment of delivery of goods to the wholesaler (buyer) together with full freedom of choice in respect of further sale and prices of those goods and a wholesaler (buyer) does not have any claims regarding fulfilment of contract liability that could affect acceptance of goods by the wholesaler (buyer).
Delivery takes place when products are delivered to a specified location, risks of expiry and loss transferred to the wholesaler (buyer) and the Group (the Parent company) has acquired objective proof that criteria for acceptance/transfer have been fulfilled. It is considered that no financing component is present when sales are performed with 30-45-day settlement period what corresponds to usual market practice. Trade receivable is recognised when goods are delivered, since at this point consideration becomes unconditional and the settlement depends only on time. If consideration depends on performance of additional obligations, a contract asset is recognised. If the Group (the Parent company) receives an advance payment, it recognises contract liability.
The Group (the Parent company) provides to customers early product replacement guarantees, as well as warranties, specific product development and configuration services, calibration of equipment and training services. Revenues from services are recognised over the time of delivery of the service.
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
2. Summary of accounting principles used (continued)
Sales transaction can comprise certain future services, for instance, extended warranties. In this case transaction price of the goods and services granted is allocated on a stand-alone selling price basis of such components. In order to determine stand-alone selling prices observable prices are used, but when such are not available, "cost plus" method is applied. Extended warranties are initially recognised as contract liabilities in the balance sheet and are transferred to statement of profit or loss on a linear basis over the period of extended warranty. (See Note 14.)
At inception of a contract, the Group (the Parent company) assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Group (the Parent company) has elected to apply the practical expedient to account for each lease component and any non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Group (the Parent company) recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured based on the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The assets are depreciated to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the lease term using the straight-line method as this most closely reflects the expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits. The lease term includes periods covered by an option to extend if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option. Lease terms mostly range from 2 to 7 years for offices and warehouse but there may also be lease agreements concluded for a shorter term, for example 1 year.
In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group's (the Parent company's) incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group (the Parent company) uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The Group (the Parent company) has elected to apply the practical expedient not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The lease payments associated with these leases is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Dividends payable to the shareholders are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the shareholders.
Financial income and expenses comprise interest payable on borrowings and lease liabilities calculated using the effective interest rate method, interest receivable on funds invested and foreign exchange gains and losses. Interest income is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as it accrues, using the effective interest method. The interest expenses of lease liabilities are recognized in statement of profit or loss using the effective interest rate method.
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
The Group (the Parent company) has applied the following new and amended standards and interpretations effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure of Accounting policies (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). IAS 1 was amended to require companies to disclose their material accounting policy information rather than their significant accounting policies. The amendment provided the definition of material accounting policy information. The amendment also clarified that accounting policy information is expected to be material if, without it, the users of the financial statements would be unable to understand other material information in the financial statements. The amendment provided illustrative examples of accounting policy information that is likely to be considered material to the entity's financial statements. Further, the amendment to IAS 1 clarified that immaterial accounting policy information need not be disclosed. However, if it is disclosed, it should not obscure material accounting policy information. To support this amendment, IFRS Practice Statement 2, 'Making Materiality Judgements' was also amended to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting policy disclosures.
Amendments to IAS 8: Definition of Accounting Estimates (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023). The amendment to IAS 8 clarified how companies should distinguish changes in accounting policies from changes in accounting estimates.
Adopted new or revised standards and interpretations that have been introduced during the reporting year have not had or have had an insignificant impact on the Group's (the Parent company's) financial position, results, cash flows or disclosures.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) have issued the following standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that apply in or after 1 January 2024. The Group (the Parent company) has not applied the following amendments in the financial statements before.
Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024). The amendments relate to the sale and leaseback transactions that satisfy the requirements in IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale. The amendments require the seller-lessee to subsequently measure liabilities arising from the transaction and in a way that it does not recognise any gain or loss related to the right of use that it retained. This means deferral of such a gain even if the obligation is to make variable payments that do not depend on an index or a rate.
Classification of liabilities as current or non-current – Amendments to IAS 1 (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024). These amendments clarify that liabilities are classified as either current or non-current, depending on the rights that exist at the end of the reporting period. Liabilities are non-current if the entity has a substantive right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement for at least twelve months. The guidance no longer requires such a right to be unconditional. The October 2022 amendment established that loan covenants to be complied with after the reporting date do not affect the classification of debt as current or non-current at the reporting date. Management's expectations whether they will subsequently exercise the right to defer settlement do not affect classification of liabilities. A liability is classified as current if a condition is breached at or before the reporting date even if a waiver of that condition is obtained from the lender after the end of the reporting period. Conversely, a loan is classified as non-current if a loan covenant is breached only after the reporting date. In addition, the amendments include clarifying the classification requirements for debt a company might settle by converting it into equity. "Settlement" is defined as the extinguishment of a liability with cash, other resources embodying economic benefits or an entity's own equity instruments. There is an exception for convertible instruments that might be converted into equity, but only for those instruments where the conversion option is classified as an equity instrument as a separate component of a compound financial instrument.
Amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures: Supplier Finance Arrangements (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024, not yet endorsed by the EU). In response to concerns of the users of financial statements about inadequate or misleading disclosure of financing arrangements, in May 2023 the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 to require disclosure about entity's supplier finance arrangements (SFAs). These amendments require the disclosures of the entity's supplier finance arrangements that would enable the users of financial statements to assess the effects of those arrangements on the entity's liabilities and cash flows and on the entity's exposure to liquidity risk. The purpose of the additional disclosure requirements is to enhance the transparency of the supplier finance arrangements. The amendments do not affect recognition or measurement principles but only disclosure requirements. The new disclosure requirements will be effective for the annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024.
The Group (the Parent company) is currently assessing the impact of the amendments listed above on its financial statements.
New IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements. IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and applies for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. This standard has not yet been endorsed in EU.
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
3. New and changed standards and interpretations (continued)
The new standard introduces the following key new requirements.
• Entities are required to classify all income and expenses into five categories in the statements of profit or loss, namely the operating, investing, financing, discontinued operations and income tax categories. Entities are also required to present a newly-defined operating profit subtotal. Entities' net profit will not change.
• Management-defined performance measures (MPMs) are disclosed in a single note in the financial statements. • Enhanced guidance is provided on how to group information in the financial statements.
In addition, all entities are required to use the operating profit subtotal as the starting point for the statement of cash flows when presenting operating cash flows under indirect method.
The Group and the Parent company are still in the process of assessing the impact of the new standard, particularly to the structure of the statement of profit or loss, the statement of cash flows and the additional disclosures required for MPMs. The Group and the Parent company is also assessing the impact on how information is grouped in the financial statements, including for items currently labelled as "other". At the time of signing the report, there are no other new or amended standards or their interpretations that would have a significant impact on the Group or the Parent company.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks:
The Group's overall risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise its potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance. The responsibility for risk management lies with the Finance Department. The Finance Department identifies and evaluates risks and seeks for solutions to avoid financial risks in close co-operation with other operating units of the Group. Financial risks are managed both on Parent company and consolidated level.
The Group operates in the international market and is subject to foreign currency risk arising primarily from USD fluctuations. Foreign currency risk arises when future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities are denominated in a currency different from the Group's functional currency. To manage the foreign currency risk arising from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, the Group uses forward foreign currency contracts. The Finance Department analyses the net open position in each foreign currency. The Group might decide to enter to forward foreign currency contracts or to maintain borrowings (in form of credit line) in appropriate currency and amount. As at 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023 the Group (including Parent company) had no open forward exchange contracts.

The Group (including Parent company) has significant exposure of credit risk with its customers. The Group's policy is to ensure that wholesale of products is carried out with customers having appropriate credit history. If the customers are residing in countries with high credit risk, then Letters of Credit issued by reputable credit institutions are used as credit risk management instruments. In situations where no Letters of Credit can be obtained from reputable credit institutions, the prepayments from the customers are requested or State Export Guarantees purchased. Customers' financial position is monitored on regular basis and assigned credit limits has been changed based on customer's credit history and customer's paying behaviour.
As at 30 June 2024, the Group's largest customer's receivable balance accounted for approximately 26% of the total carrying amount of trade receivables, and the sales revenue from this largest customer (located in the United States) accounted for approximately 13% of the Group's revenues (at 30 June 2023: 37% and for 2022/2023 – 14%, respectively), as well as another receivable balance accounted for 10% of total trade receivables. In 2023/2024 income from the above-mentioned largest clients in the US 100% applies to CFIP, Integra, Spectrum Compact, Aranet segment (2022/2023 - 100% applies to CFIP, Integra, Spectrum Compact, Aranet segment). Trade receivable balances of the Group's other customers did not reach at least 10% of the total receivables. The Parent company's balance sheet as at 30 June 2024 included three trade receivables with the balance above 10% of the total of trade receivables, including receivables from related companies (30.06.2023: three debts). In the reporting year, the Parent company generated approximately 49% of the revenues from sales to subsidiary in the United States (2022/2023 - 53%). In 2023/2024 as well as in 2022/2023 income from sales to the US subsidiary relate to the CFIP, Integra, Spectrum Compact, Aranet segment in the amount of 95% and the other segment 5%.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, the Group's exposure to credit risk arises from the default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The Group's maximum credit risk exposure as at 30.06.2024 amounts to EUR 5 133 083 or 22.29% of total assets (30.06.2023.: EUR 691 153 or 19.96% of total assets), and Parent company's maximum credit risk exposure as at 30.06.2024 amounts to – EUR 3 903 548 or 18.82% of total assets (30.06.2023: EUR 2 936 892 or 11.71% of total assets. For more information on the Group's and Parent company's exposure to credit risk please also refer to Note 9.
The Group follows a prudent liquidity risk management and hence maintain a sufficient quantity of liquid funds. The Group's current liquidity ratio (ratio between the current assets and total liabilities) is 2.66 (30.06.2023: 2.36), quick liquidity ratio (ratio between the current assets less inventory and total liabilities) is: 0.72 (30.06.2023: 0.55), and Parent company's current liquidity ratio is 3.25 (30.06.2023: 2.51), quick liquidity ratio is: 0.77 (30.06.2023: 0.33).
The Group's management monitors liquidity reserves for the operational forecasting, based on estimated cash flows. Most of the Group's liabilities are short term. Management believes that the Group will have sufficient liquidity to be generated from operating activities and does not see significant exposure to liquidity risk. For more information on the Group's and Parent company's exposure to liquidity risk, refer to Note 13, Note 15 and Note 16.

The Group's cash flows from interest bearing liabilities are dependent on current market interest rates. As the Group does not have significant interest-generating assets or interest-bearing liabilities (please see credit line amount as at the balance sheet date), thus the Group's cash flows and net results are largely independent of changes in market interest rates (Euribor). However, as the Group and Parent company mainly has short-term interest-bearing liabilities, the exposure is not significant.
Part of the Group's and the Parent company's revenue is derived from the sale of products outside the European Union, which creates exposure to geopolitical risk. The global electronics services market is primarily affected by the US-China "trade war", but it does not currently pose a threat to the Group's sales. Import duties on microwave equipment imported from the European Union remain unchanged. It is more likely that, in the event of sanctions being imposed on Chinese competitors, additional sales opportunities may appear on the US market.
Since Russia started the war in Ukraine, the overall uncertainty of the business environment has increased. Although the direct impact on the Group's operations is relatively limited, the Group carefully evaluates potential cost increase forecasts and potential risks.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in the principal, or in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of liabilities represents default risk.
When available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using quoted prices in an active market for that instrument. Fair value is classified in various levels in the fair value hierarchy according to data used in measurement methods:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices);
Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorized in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The Group recognizes reclassification among fair value hierarchy levels in the end of the reporting period in which the reclassification was performed.
The Group (Parent Company) holds three investments in equity instruments that are valued at fair value at 30 June 2024 and 30 June 2023. These investments in unlisted equity instruments correspond to the third level of the valuation hierarchy. In regards to these investments, management has used estimates of the respective companies' net asset values to determine their fair value.
The Group's and Parent company's financial assets and liabilities (trade receivables, other receivables, other financial assets, trade and other payables, lease liabilities and other financial liabilities) correspond to Level 3, except for cash and cash equivalents, which correspond to Level 2. These Group's financial assets and liabilities, except lease liabilities, generally have a maturity of up to six months, therefore the Group believes that the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities corresponds to their initial nominal value and carrying amount at any subsequent date. The majority of the lease liability in the previous year (2022/2023) were calculated at amortized cost as a result of lease modifications using a revised discount rate equal to the market interest rate for similar borrowings. During the reporting year, the 3-month Euribor interest rates have increased insignificantly, and after the end of the reporting year, they have decreased, the Group believes that the accounting value of lease liabilities is also approximately similar to their fair value on 30 June 2024, taking into account the remaining amount of lease liabilities.
The Group and the Parent company manages its capital to ensure that the Group and the Parent company will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group and the Parent company control the capital using the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated by applying the total amount of liabilities less cash and cash equivalents to total equity.
The gearing ratios at the year-end was as follows:
| Group | Parent company | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 30/06/2024 | 30/06/2023 | 30/06/2024 | 30/06/2023 | |
| EUR | EUR | EUR | EUR | |
| Liabilities | 6 588 753 | 9 664 305 | 4 758 286 | 7 760 456 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | (2 213 197) | (3 464 439) | (1 486 672) | (1 538 058) |
| Net debt/(assets) | 4 375 556 | 6 199 866 | 3 271 614 | 6 222 398 |
| Shareholders' equity | 16 435 951 | 18 843 539 | 15 984 586 | 17 323 867 |
| Debt to equity ratio | 40% | 51% | 30% | 45% |
| Net debt/(net asset) to equity ratio | 27% | 33% | 20% | 36% |
The ratios characterizing the capital management at the Group level have improved in the reporting year, with a decrease in the total amount of liabilities which significantly exceeds the reduction in equity capital due to losses incurred during the reporting year.
The management of the Group and the Parent company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Management has assessed the situation at the end of the reporting period and after the end of the reporting year and has determined that war in Ukraine did not have a material adverse effect on the Group's and Parent company's operations and financial results, given the specifics of the products produced by the Group. The Group's operations were not significantly disrupted and management does not anticipate any significant disruptions in the future, that could affect the going concern of the Group and the asset valuation.
When the events and circumstances indicate a potential impairment, the Group and the Parent company performs impairment tests for items of PPE, intangible assets and right-to-use assets. Based to these tests, assets are written down to their recoverable amounts, if necessary. When carrying out impairment tests management uses various estimates for the cash flows arising from the use of the assets, sales, maintenance, and repairs of the assets, as well as in respect of the inflation and growth rates. If the situation changes in the future, either additional impairment could be recognised, or the previously recognised impairment could be partially or fully reversed. In view of the above considerations about impact of war in Ukraine, management has not identified any circumstances that could indicate that the Group's and the Parent company's long-term non-financial assets could be impaired. See also Note 2 G.
The management of the Group and the Parent company considers the loss situation for the reporting year being transitory, and the net operating cash flow of both the Group's and the Parent company during the reporting year has been positive. The Group will continue pursuing its strategy to develop competitive wireless data transmission products and solutions for new export markets, and maintain the current sound financial position and control over the production process with the aim to increase sales and profitability.
Management estimates the useful lives of individual PPE items in proportion to the expected duration of use of the asset based on historical experience with similar fixed assets and future plans. See also Note 2 E and Note 2 F.
The Group recognizes allowances for expected credit losses from loans and receivables. In order to determine the unrecoverable number of receivables, management applies estimates as explained in Note 2 K.
The Group (Parent company) makes provisions in for slow-moving inventories. Inventories at net realizable value are reported by reducing the cost of inventories by the amount of the established provisions in accordance with the principles described in the Note 2 J.

While preparing the financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2024, an error was discovered in the cash flow statement for the year ended June 30, 2023. Within the operating cash flows, a change in inventory valuation adjustment was incorrectly reported as a negative number, whereas it should have been reported as a positive number. This discrepancy accordingly affected the amount of adjustment for the increase of the inventory amount which was directly linked to the inventory valuation change adjustment. As a result of the correction, the net operating cash flow did not change, and the impact of the retrospective restatement on the affected operating cash flow indicators is as follows:

As a result of regular operational activity, the Group (Parent company) has issued performance guarantees to third parties in amount of EUR 20 571(30.06.2023: not issued).
As at 30 June 2024 the net profit of the Parent company, which arose after 31 December 2017, is EUR 8 966 078. The potential corporate income tax liability that will arise if the entire amount of the above profit is distributed as dividends is EUR 2 241 580 (20/80 of the net amount distributed to shareholders).
No significant subsequent events have occurred in the period from the year-end to the date of these financial statements that would have a material impact on the Group's and/or Parent company`s financial position as at 30 June 2024 or their performance and cash flows for the year then ended.
On behalf of the Board,
Normunds Bergs Chairman of the Board Dace Langada Chief accountant
The Annual Report is approved in the Board meeting on 30 October 2024 and the Board has authorised the Chairman of the Board to sign it on behalf of the Board.

We have audited accompanying separate financial statements of AS "SAF Tehnika" ("the Company") and consolidated financial statements of AS "SAF Tehnika" and its subsidiaries (together - "the Group") contained in the digital file: 48510000F6NVA4T63P67-2024-06-30-lv.zip (SHA-256-checksum:
6DCEB8B767B6979AD5E9DC7C0681FF8F2A07DDB2E400F9FE186517C8B8BB6969).
Accompanying separate financial statements and consolidated financial statements (together – "Financial statements") comprise:
In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the separate financial position of the Company and consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2024, and of their separate and consolidated financial performance and their separate and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union.
Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Council (body equivalent to the Audit Committee) dated 30 October 2024.
In accordance with the Law on Audit Services of the Republic of Latvia we conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing adopted in the Republic of Latvia (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) and independence requirements included in the Law on Audit Services of the Republic of Latvia that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the Republic of Latvia. We have also fulfilled our other professional ethics responsibilities and objectivity requirements in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) and Law on Audit Services of the Republic of Latvia.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that we have not provided to the Company or its subsidiaries any non-audit services prohibited in accordance with Article 37.6 of the Law on Audit Services of the Republic of Latvia.
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.

This version of our report is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Latvian.

Refer to Note 2 "Material accounting policies section J "Inventories" and Note 8 "Inventories" to the financial statements.
We focused on this area because inventories represent a significant part of the Company's and Group's assets despite the fact that the volume of inventory at the end of reporting year has significantly decreased as compared to previous year. During the previous two years, the Company and the Group were forced to create reserves of raw materials and finished products in order to be able to successfully fulfil the orders received from customers and to ensure the continuity of production in the conditions of the uncertainty of the raw materials market, which, when sales forecasts were not fulfilled, resulted in a large amount of slow moving inventory. Given these factors as well as the rapid development of the technology industry, the valuation of inventories is of significant importance, including the determination of the obsolescence and net realizable value of inventories, which includes subjective estimates and may have a material effect on the Company's and the Group's financial performance.
In accordance with our professional judgment, based on our understanding and accumulated audit experience about the Company's and the Group's inventory valuation processes and internal control procedures, we did not identify inventory valuation as area of a significant risk in our audit. However, the audit of inventory area requires a significant amount of time and resources from the auditors, given its importance and magnitude. Thus, this area is considered a key audit matter.
As disclosed in Note 8 to the Financial statements, the balance sheet value of inventories as at 30 June 2024 amount to EUR 11 844 475 (the Company) and EUR 12 793 405 (the Group). As at 30 June 2024 the estimated inventory impairment allowance constituted EUR 5 098 313 with regard to both the Company and the Group which is EUR 1 842 772 more than at the end of the previous year.
The process of determining the cost of inventories involves the use of certain management estimates for the allocation of overheads.
For each age category of inventories, a provision is made in accordance with the Group's provisioning policy for slow-moving inventories, by grouping the inventories according to the period during which they have not moved, and applying a percentage set by the management to determine the impairment allowance.

Our audit procedures, amidst others, included the following:

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information included in the Annual Report as described above, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon, except as described in the Other reporting responsibilities in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Latvia section of our report.
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.
If, based on the work we have performed and in light of the knowledge and understanding of the entity and its environment obtained in the course of our audit, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, 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 IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the European Union and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of 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 and Group'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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company's and Group'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 auditor's 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 ISAs 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 ISAs, 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 control that we identify during our audit.

This independent auditor's report (translation of the Latvian original) should only be used with the original document submitted to the Riga Stock Exchange in machine-readable .xhtml format (https://nasdaqbaltic.com).
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence and objectivity, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate and consolidated 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.
In addition, in accordance with the Law on Audit Services of the Republic of Latvia with respect to the Management Report, our responsibility is to consider whether the Management Report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law On the Annual Reports and Consolidated Annual Reports' of the Republic of Latvia.
Based solely on the work required to be undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion:
In accordance with the Law on Audit Services of the Republic of Latvia with respect to the Statement of Corporate Governance, our responsibility is to consider whether the Statement of Corporate Governance includes the information referred to in Article 56. 1 , section 1, clauses 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9, as well as Article 56.2 , section 2, clause 5 of the Financial Instruments Market Law and whether it includes the information stipulated in Article 56.2 , section 2, clauses 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 of the Financial Instruments Market Law.
In our opinion, the Statement of Corporate Governance includes, in all material aspects, the information required in accordance with Article 56.1 , section 1, clauses 3, 4, 6, 8 and 9, as well as Article 56.2 , section 2, clause 5 of the Financial Instruments Market Law and includes the information stipulated in Article 56.2 , section 2, clauses 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 and 8 of the Financial Instruments Market Law.
In accordance with the Law on Audit Services of the Republic of Latvia, our responsibility is to consider whether the Remuneration Report includes the information referred to in Article 59.4 of the Financial Instruments Market Law.
In our opinion, the Remuneration Report includes, in all material aspects, the information referred to in Article 59.4 of the Financial Instruments Market Law.
Based on our agreement we have been engaged by the management of the Group's parent company to conduct a reasonable assurance engagement for the verification of compliance of the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024 contained in the digital file 48510000F6NVA4T63P67-2024-06-30-lv.zip (SHA-256 checksum: 6DCEB8B767B6979AD5E9DC7C0681FF8F2A07DDB2E400F9FE186517C8B8BB6969) with the applicable requirements of the European Single Electronic Reporting format (thereafter – ESEF).
The Single Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated financial statements has been applied by the management to comply with the requirements of art. 3 and 4 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 (thereafter - the ESEF Regulation). The applicable requirements regarding the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated financial statements are contained in the ESEF Regulation.
The requirements described in the preceding paragraph determine the basis for application of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated financial statements and, in our view, these requirements constitute appropriate criteria to form a reasonable assurance conclusion.
Management is responsible for the application of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated financial statements that complies with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility includes the selection and application of appropriate markups in iXBRL using ESEF taxonomy and designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant for the preparation of the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated financial statements which is free from material non-compliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process, which should also be understood as the preparation of Consolidated financial statements in accordance with the format resulting from the ESEF Regulation.
This version of our report is a translation from the original, which was prepared in Latvian.

This independent auditor's report (translation of the Latvian original) should only be used with the original document submitted to the Riga Stock Exchange in machine-readable .xhtml format (https://nasdaqbaltic.com).
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance in order to express a conclusion on whether the Consolidated financial statements prepared in the Single Electronic Reporting Format comply with the ESEF regulation.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised) "Assurance Engagements other than Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial Information" (thereafter - the ISAE 3000 (R)). This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements, plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated financial statements is prepared, in all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that the service performed in accordance ISAE 3000 (R) will always detect the existing material misstatement (significant noncompliance with the requirements).
We apply the provisions of the International Standards on Quality Management (IAASB) and accordingly maintain a comprehensive quality management system, including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We comply with the independence and other ethical requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance that the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated financial statements was applied, in all material aspects, in accordance with the applicable requirements and such application is free from material errors or omissions.
Our procedures include in particular:
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
In our opinion, the Single Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024 complies, in all material respects, with the ESEF Regulation.
We were first appointed as auditors for the Company's and Group's financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2016. This is the nineth consecutive year of our appointment as auditors.
