Management Report

Types of Operations

JSC 'Siguldas ciltslietu un mākslīgās apsēklošanas stacija' (hereinafter referred to as the Company) is one of the largest high-quality breeding bull semen producers and suppliers in Latvia. The second largest field of the Company's basic economic activities is the milk testing services. The Company also provides other breeding related services – consultations on issues of cattle breeding, feeding and keeping, evaluation of cow exterior, artificial insemination of cows, initial processing of the supervisory data.

Brief Description of the Company's Activities in the Reporting Year and Financial Condition

The Company's net turnover in 2021 was 1.4 million euros, which is by 153 thousand euros or 12.3% bigger than in 2020.

The Covid-19 outbreak did not substantially affect the Company's business, financial condition and economic indicators.

The proportion of the revenue from the Company's basic economic activities, if compared to year 2020, had not changed substantially − the revenue from the sales of the bull semen comprised 58.8% of the net turnover, whereas the milk laboratory services and processing of supervisory data services, taken together, accounted for 31.3% of the net turnover.

2021 ended with a profit of 97 thousand euros. Compared to 2020, profit before taxes for the reporting year has decreased by 7 thousand euros, mainly due to the increase in costs of materials.

In 2021 there are no major events that have affected the financial statement, as well as no significant risks that the company might be confronted with and which could have an impact on its financial situation and performance.

Future Prospects and Development

By increasing the operational efficiency of its business, the Company will continue to work on the expansion of its marketed product and service volume.

Post-Balance-Sheet Events

After the end of the financial year, a number of restrictive measures related to the war in Ukraine have entered into force in the Republic of Latvia and other countries, which is reducing the country's economic development. It is not to be foreseen how the situation will develop in the future, and therefore there is uncertainty about economic development. The Company's management constantly evaluates the situation. At present, the Company's operations have not been affected by the restrictions, nor has there been any decrease in cash flow. The Company's management believes that the introduced restrictions will not significantly affect the Company's operations.

Branches and Representative Offices Abroad

The Company has no branch offices, nor any representative offices abroad.

Proposals Regarding the Use of the Company's Profit or Losses

The proposal of the Board is – not to use up the profit of the reporting year, but instead to pay out the retained earnings of 33 795.20 euro, shown in the balance sheet as at December 31, 2017, in dividends, which is 0.08 euro per share.

• The same evaluation methods have been used, which were used in the previous year;
• Evaluation was done with sufficient prudence:
  • The Financial Statements include solely the profit gained until the balance sheet date,
  • All expected risk amounts and losses have been taken into account, which occurred during the reporting year or in previous years, also if they were known during a certain period of time between the balance sheets date and the day of preparing the Financial Statements,

• components of asset and liabilities items have been recognized separately;
• the opening balance of the reporting year agrees with the closing balance of the previous year;
• all items have been recognized, which materially influence assessment or decision-making process of the users of the annual report, insignificant items are merged and they are detailed in the Appendix;
• operating transactions in the reporting year have been recognized in the Financial Statements by taking into account their economic substance and contents, rather than legal form.

Financial instruments

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities reflect the amount, for which it is possible to exchange assets or perform liabilities in a deal between well informed, interested and financially independent persons. If in the Company's management opinion, fair value of financial assets and liabilities materially differs from the value recognized in the balance sheet, then the fair value of these assets and liabilities is recognized in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Financial risks management

Credit risk

The Company's management has developed credit policy, which is constantly controlled. Client evaluation is done for all customers above a fixed amount. The Company cooperates with clients who have proper credit assessment.

Currency risk

Based on the current structure of Company's financial assets and liabilities held in foreign currencies, the currency risk is not material.

Reporting period

The reporting period is twelve months from 1 January to 31 December 2021.

Revaluation of foreign currencies

The Company's functional currency and the currency used in the Financial Statements is euro (EUR). All transactions in foreign currencies are converted into euro according to the euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank on the day of particular transaction being performed.

Monetary assets and liabilities, which are shown in foreign currencies, are converted into euro according to the fixed euro foreign exchange reference rate published by the European Central Bank on the last day of the reporting period.

	31.12.2021	31.12.2020
USD	1.13260	1.122710

Currency exchange rate differences arising from settlements in currencies or when recognizing assets and liabilities by using currency exchange rates, which differ from the initial currency exchange rates used for accounting of transactions, are recognized in the profit or loss account in net value.

Recognition of income

Income is recognized according to the conviction about the Company's possibility to gain economic benefit and in the amount, in which it is possible to state it, less value added tax and sales-related discounts. When recognizing income, also the following provisions are taken into account.

Sale of goods

Income is recognized when the Company has transferred to the purchaser major risks and indemnities related to the title of goods.

Provision of services

Income from services is recognized in the period when the services are provided.

Penalty and delay charges

Income from penalty and delay charges is recognized at the moment of their receipt.

Interest

Income is recognized according to the respective period of time.

Long-term and short-term items

Long-term items include amounts whose receipt, payments or write-off terms are due later after the end of the respective reporting year. Amounts, which are receivable, payable or written off during the year, are recognized in short-term items.

Leasing transactions

Financial leasing

In cases when fixed assets are purchased on the conditions of financial leasing and the related risks and return are taken over, these fixed assets are recognized in the value, for which they could be purchased with immediate payment. Leasing interest payments and similar payments are included in the profit or loss account of that period when they occurred.

Intangible assets and fixed assets

In the balance sheet, all intangible assets and fixed assets are reflected at their purchase prices, less depreciation. Depreciation is calculated from the first date of the next month after their commissioning and finished on the first date of the subsequent month after it is excluded from fixed assets. Depreciation is calculated according to the straight line method and is written off during the useful life time of respective fixed assets by choosing the following annual depreciation rates as fixed by the management:

5 years
10, 20, 25, 40 and 59 years
4 years
5, 6 and 7 years
5 years
3 and 5 years
2 and 3 years

Balances of fixed assets have been counted in the annual count of fixed assets.

The Company capitalizes its fixed assets valued over 70 euro with useful life exceeding one year. Depreciation for improvements and other low costs items with the value less than 70 euro is recognized by 100 % after commissioning.

If sufficient evidence is acquired that the future economic benefit associated with subsequent repair or reconstruction costs will flow to the Company, which exceeds the return set previously, costs are capitalized as additional costs to the fixed asset.

Net gains or losses from disposal of fixed assets is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the fixed asset and proceeds from sale, and recognized in the income statements during the period when disposal are incurred.

If it is possible to conclude due to any kind of occurrence or circumstances that residual value of fixed or intangible assets could not reach its recoverable value, appropriate value of fixed or intangible asset is to be decreased until recoverable value. Recoverable value is calculated as the highest of fair value less costs to sell or value in use.

Productive animals meet the value criteria of fixed assets and are included in fixed assets.

Investment properties

Investment property is property (land plots, building or part of building) held by the owner or by lessee under a finance lease to earn rentals or for capital appreciation rather than use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes or sale in the ordinary course of business. For the land with uncertain future use (if the Company has not determined that it will use the land as owner occupied or short term sale in the ordinary course of business, it is assumed that land is held for capital appreciation), it is classified as investment property.

Investment property of the company– land in possession of the stock company, which market value is expected to grow. Investment properties have been filed according to their purchase value. No later than at the end of the year of account the investments properties are being revalued according to their real market value considering any other activities related to particular property. The revaluation is performed by a certified evaluator. Any changes in the market value of the investments properties are being shown in the profit and loss account.

Evaluation using a comparable transaction method was carried out by a certified evaluator:

2021 – LTD 'Eiroeksperts' 2020 – LTD 'Eiroeksperts'

Stock

Stock is recognized in the lowest cost or net sales value. All stock is assessed by using the average weighted method.

Net sales value is the sales price of stock fixed during normal Company's operations, less the stock completion and selling costs. In cases when the stock net selling value is lower than their cost price, provisions are made for these stocks for decrease of their value down to the net sales value.

All direct costs, which are related to production of breeding animals - bull semen, during the year are booked in the profit or loss account and are adjusted at the end of the year when evaluating stocks according to the lowest sales value or cost price and including them in stocks as "Ready-made goods and goods for sale".

Trade receivables and other receivables

In the balance sheet receivables are recognized in the recoverable value, provisions for doubtful receivables having been deducted. Provisions for doubtful debts are made in cases when there is objective evidence to the fact that the Company will not be able to receive the debts in full value according to the initially fixed repayment dates. Provisions for doubtful debts are the difference between the amortized purchase value of receivables and the recoverable value. The recoverable value of receivables is the current value of planned cash flow.

Cash

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, the balances of the current bank account and other current liquid financial assets with maturities up to 90 days.

Provisions

Provisions are liabilities related to current or previous years events and at the preparation of financial statements it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and its amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation.

Subsidies

Amounts, which are received as a state support for agricultural, i.e., for covering of expenses for maintaining high-quality breed bulls, are included in the income of that reporting period when they are received and all material conditions for the grant are fulfilled.

Taxes

Corporate income tax for the financial year

Corporate income tax is payable on the distribution of profits and the conditional distribution of profits. Distributed and notionally distributed profits are taxed at the rate of 20 percent of the gross amount, or 20/80 of net costs. Corporate income tax on the payment of dividends is recognized in the profit and loss account as an expense in the period in which the dividends are declared and, in the case of other retained earnings, as incurred.

Use of assumptions

When preparing the financial statements, the Company's management has to make calculations and assumptions, which impact recognition of assets and liabilities included in the financial statements as at the day of preparing the financial statements, as well as the income and expenses recognized in the specific reporting period. Management has made profit or loss assessment and considers that the financial statements reflect the true financial condition based on all currently available information.

(22) Post-Balance-Sheet Events

After the end of the financial year, a number of restrictive measures related to the war in Ukraine have entered into force in the Republic of Latvia and other countries, which is reducing the country's economic development. It is not to be foreseen how the situation will develop in the future, and therefore there is uncertainty about economic development. The Company's management constantly evaluates the situation. At present, the Company's operations have not been affected by the restrictions, nor has there been any decrease in cash flow. The Company's management believes that the introduced restrictions will not significantly affect the Company's operations.

The outbreak of Covid-19 will not have a substantial impact on the Company's operations, financial situation and economic performance.

Other reporting responsibilities in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Latvia related to other information

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:

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the 'Law On the Annual Reports and Consolidated Annual Reports' of the Republic of Latvia 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 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.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control 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 Company's internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves a fair presentation.

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.

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 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.

Other reporting responsibilities and confirmations required by the legislation of the Republic of Latvia and the European Union when providing audit services to public interest entities

We were appointed as auditors by shareholders' resolution of 23 April 2021 to audit the financial statements of JSC "Siguldas ciltslietu un mākslīgās apsēklošanas stacija" for the year ended 31 December 2021.
