In 2019, the Group's operations were affected by the changes in the Law on Consumer Rights that came into force on July 1, 2019. The unaudited results show that the company has been able to keep growing in size and in profitability under the new regulation. One reason for such track record is that 38% of DelfinGroup's revenues are generated by pawn shop operations (pawn loans, sale of goods etc.) which are not subject to the new regulation. Another reason is the company's overall efficiency achieved by the introduction of new value adding services and products and by closely monitoring the cost base. The company has further increased the maximum loan amount to EUR 5000. The Group continued to develop its youngest brand VIZIA reaching 75% annual growth in the net loan portfolio.

The company celebrated 10-year anniversary in October 2019 and marked the first completed business decade by defining a brand-new corporate identity, including the change of name from ExpressCredit to DelfinGroup in February 2020. DelfinGroup upgraded mission is to create and provide innovative and custom finance solutions to its clients.

In Q4 2019, DelfinGroup prepared for the new EUR 5 million bond issue. The preparation included setting up a new creditor structure whereby the bond holders of two existing notes issues (ISIN LV000802213 and ISIN LV000801322) and one new bond issue (ISIN LV000802379), as well as Mintos platform became secured creditors of DelfinGroup. The aforementioned creditor claims are secured by a commercial pledge whereby SIA DelfinGroup and its subsidiaries SIA ViziaFinance, SIA ExpressInkasso, and SIA REFIN have pledged all their property and receivables as an aggregation of property at the moment of pledging as well as its future components. The pledgee is Law Office Eversheds Sutherland Bitans according to the collateral agent agreement, and the commercial pledge is worth EUR 40.5 million. The subscription for the new bond issue was started on November 15, 2019 and by now ISIN LV0000802379 is subscribed by 72% or EUR 3.6 million.

Accounting policies

(a) Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared based on the accounting policies and measurement principles as set out below.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU). The financial statements are prepared based on historic cost method. In cases when reclassification not affecting prior year profit and equity is made, the relevant explanations are provided in the financial statements.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the information on contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the revenues and costs for the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the information available to the management regarding the current events and actions, the actual results may differ from the estimates used. Critical assumptions and judgements are described in the relevant sections of the financial statements.

The Company have adopted the following new standards and amendments that are published andadopted by the EU:

Under IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if it control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. For such contracts, the new model requires a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated and the liability accrues interest. This will result in a front-loaded pattern of expense for most leases, even when the lessee pays constant annual rentals.

Effect of IFRS 16 adoption

The Group adopted IFRS 16 using the modified retrospective method of adoption with the date of initial application of 1 January 2019. Under this method, the standard is applied retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognised at the date of initial application. The Group elected to use the transition practical expedient to not reassess whether a contract is, or contains a lease at 1 January 2019. Instead, the Group applied the standard only to contracts that were previously identified as leases applying IAS 17 and IFRIC 4 at the date of initial application.

The Group also applied the available practical expedients wherein it:

  • * Used a single discount rate to a portfolio of leases with reasonably similar characteristics
  • * Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application
  • * Excluded the initial direct costs from the measurement of the right-of-use asset at the date of initial application
  • * Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contained options to extend or terminate the lease

The Group chose to use exceptions to leases that are short term, and leases of value that is not material. The Group has two main categories of right-of-use assets - lease of premises and lease of motor vechicles.

The off-balance sheet lease obligations as of 31 December 2018 are reconciled as fallows to the recognized lease liabilities as of 1 January 2019:

Accounting principles applied (b)

The items in the financial statements have been measured based on the following accounting principles:

  • a) It is assumed that the company will continue as a going concern:
  • ﻘ The measurement methods applied in the previous reporting year have been used;
  • The measurement of the items has been performed prudently meeting the following criteria: c)
    • Only profits accruing up to the balance sheet date have been included in the report;
      • All possible contingencies and losses arising in the reporting year or the previous year have been recognised. even if they became known in the period between the balance sheet date and the issuance of the annual report;

  • All items which may materially affect the assessment or decision-making of the financial statements g)
  • are presented, immaterial items have been aggregated and their breakdown is presented in the Notes;
  • h) Business transactions are presented based on their economic substance rather than their legal form.

The subsidiaries of the Group are consolidated from the Group has taken over control, and the consolidation is terminated when the control cease to exist. Where the date of the share purchase agreement or the date of the decision of shareholders on making further in fundamentally different from the date of on which share ownership changes or the registration date as recorded in the Register) of Enterprises, the date of agreement shall be considered the date of the share purchase or the date of the igreement provides otherwise. The Group's all inter-company transactions and balances and unrealised profit on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are eliminated as well, except for the expenses are not recoverable. Where necessary, the accounting and measurement methods applied by the Group's subsidiaries have been changed to bring them in compliance with the Group's accounting and measurement methods.

In these statements the minority interest in the Group's consolidated subsidiaries and their income statement have been presented separately.

Notes (continued)

Accounting policies (continued)

Recognition of revenue and expenses (d)

Net sales

Net revenue represents the total value of goods sold and services provided during the year net of value added tax. Interest income and similar income

The Company presents interest income in the Profit and loss account prior to calculation of gross profit, as this income is related to the basic activities of the Company - charging interest for loans issued in return to pledge held as security or loans issued on other conditions. Interest income is recognised using acruals principle. Interest income is not recognised from the moment the recoverability of principal is considered doubtful. Penalty interest is recognised on a cash basis. Other income

Other income is recognised based on accruals principle.

Penalties and similar income

Of collection exists, is recognised based on cash principle.

Expenses

Expenses are recognised based on accuals principle in the period of the moment of payment. Expenses related to financing of loans is recognised in the period of liability origination and included in the profit and loss items "Interest and similar expenses".

(e) Foreign currency translation

(e1) Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The financial statement tems are (EUR), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency.

(e2) Transactions and balances

All transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the date of the respective transaction. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement of the respective period. At the balance sheet date the rates set by the Bank of Latvia were:

31.12.2019. 31.12.2018.
1 EUR 1 EUR
USD 1.12 1.15
RUB 69.96 79.72

(f) Fair value of Financial instruments

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. Fair values of financial assets or liabilities, including derivative financial instruments in active markets are based on quoted market prices. If the market for a financial asset or liability is not active (and for unlisted securities) the Group establishes fair value by using valuation techniques. These include the use of discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and recent comparative transactions as appropriate and may require the application of management's judgement and estimates.

Where, in the opinion of the Management, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities differ materially from their book values such fair values are separately disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

Transaction costs are incremental costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, issue or disposal of a financial instrument. An incremental cost is one that would not have been incurred if the transaction had not taken place. Transaction costs include fees and commissions paid to agents (including employees acting as selling agents), advisors, levies by regulatory agencies and securities exchanges, and transfer taxes and duties. Transaction costs do not include debt premiums or discounts, financing costs or internal administrative or holding costs.

Amortised cost is the amount at which the financial instrument was recognition less any principal repayments plus accrued interest and for financial assets less any write-down for incurrent losses. Accrued interest includes amortisation of transaction costs defered at initial recognition and of any premium or discount to maturity amount using the effective interest method. Accrued interest income and accrued including both accrued coupon and amortised discount or premium (including fees deferred at origination, if any) are not presented separately and are included in the carrying values of related items on the balance sheet.

The effective interest method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period to the net carrying amount of the financial liability. When calculating the effective interest rate the Group estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of the financial instrument (for example, prepayment options) but does not consider future credit losses. The calculation includes all fees and points paid or received between parties to the contract that are an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.

(g) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and net amount reported in the is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the liability simultaneously.

Notes (continued) Accounting policies (continued)

(h) Intangible assets (including Company's goodwill) and fixed assets

All intangible assets and fixed assets are initially measured at cost. Intangible assets are recorded at historic cost net of depreciation and permanent diminution in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write down each asset to its estimated residual value over its estimated useful life as follows:

vears

Intangibles 3 - 5
Other fixed assets 3 - 5

The residual values, remaining useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed and, if required annually. Fixed asset and intangibles recognition is terminated in case of its liquidation or when no future benefits are expected in connection with the utilisation of the respective asset. Any profit or loss connected with the termination of recognition (calculated as difference between the disposal gains and net book value as at the moment of derecognition), is recognised in the profit or loss account in the period when derecognition occurs. Leasehold improvements are written down on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement and the lease. Current repairs and maintenance costs are charged to profit and loss account in the period when the respective costs are incurred.

Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred over the net fair value of share of equity acquired. The recognised goodwill is reassessed at least on an annual basis to make sure no permanent diminution in value has occurred. In case such diminution in value is identified, the diminution in value is recognised in the income statement of the respective year.

Investments in the subsidiaries and associated companies (i)

In the financial statements the investments in associated companies are carried at equity method the value of the investment at the balance sheet date comprises the value of the associated company corresponding to the share of investment and the book value of the positive goodwill arising at the acquisition of the investment.

At the year-end the amount of the reported item is increased by reference to the Company's share in the profit or loss of the associated company during the year (in the post-acquisition period), or other changes in equity, as well as by the reduction of the goodwill arising at acquisition to its recoverable amount. Unrealised profit on inter-company transactions is excluded. Profit distribution is presented in the year in which the shareholders adopt a decision on profit distribution.

Impairment of assets (i)

Intangible assets which are not put into operation or which do not have a useful life are not amortised; their value is reviewed annually. The value of the assets subject to depreciation is reviewed whenever any events or circumstances support that their carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment losses are recognised in the amount representing the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its recoverable amount is the higher of the respective assets fair value less the costs to sell and the value in use. In order to determine impairment, assets are grouped based on the smallest group of assets that independently generates cash flow (cash generating units).

Seaments (k)

A geographical segment provides or services within a particular economic environment that is subject to other economic environments characterized by different risks and benefits. A business segment is a share of assets and operations, providing products and services that are subject to other business segments of different risks and benefits.

(1) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market price. Inventories are measured using the weighted FIFO method. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that inventories are impaired and makes provisions for slow-moving or damaged inventories loss is recognised in the period such loss is identified, writing off the relevant inventory values to the period profit and loss account.

Seized assets (m)

Collateral is repossessed following the foreclosure on loans that are in default. Seized assets are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value and reported within "Inventories".

Trade and other receivables (n)

Accounts receivable comprise loans and other receivables (other debtors, and deposits) that are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments. Loans are carried at amortised cost is defined as the fair value of cash consideration given to originate those loans. All loans and receivables are recognised to borrowers and derecognised on repayments. The Company has granted consumer throughout its market area. The economic condition of the market area may have an impact on the borrowers' ability to repay their debts. Restructured loans are no longer considered to be past due unless the loan is past due according to the renegotiated terms.

From October 2015 the Company has started issuance of pledged loans (except pledges in the form of golden and siver atticles) with new lending conditions, that assume 10% commission in case of loan default and subsequent sale of the pledge, i.e., the revenues received by the Company from the sale of the VAT portion. The pledges are made available for sale after 30 days of default however, they continue to hold the status of the loan recipient has the rights to buy out the pledge before the sale. In the financial statements these pledges are classified as loans issued. In case a surplus originates upon a sale of the pledge and the related costs (loan issued, interest and penalties accrued, intermediary and holding commissions), the surplus is recognised as the liability of the loan recipient. The liability expires, if the loan recipient does not claim the amount due within the 10 years term as defined in Article 1895 of the Ioan recipient has not claimed the surplus within the legally defined time limits, the income. Such income is outside VAT legislation and is not VAT taxable.

Notes (continued) Accounting policies (continued)

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that loans are impaired. If any such evidence exists, the amount of the allowances for loan impairment is assessed as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, being the present value of expected cash flows including amounts recoverable from collateral discounted at the original effective inte. The assessment of the evidence for impairment and the determination of the amount of allowances for impairment or its reversal requires the application of management and estimates. Management's judgements and estimates consider relevant factors including but not limited to, the identification of nonperforming loans (loan repayment schedule compliance), the estimated (if taken) as well as other relevant factors affecting loan and recoverability and collateral values. These judgements and estimates are reviewed periodically and as adjustments become necessary, they are reported in which they become known. The Management of the Company have made their best estimates of losses based on objective evidence of impairment and believe those estimates presented in the financial statements are reasonable in light of available information.

When loans cannot be recovered they are written off and charged against allowances for loan impairment losses. They are not written off until all the necessary legal procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss is finally determined.

The provision in the allowance account is reversed if the estimated recovery value exceeds the carrying amount.

Provisions for interest income debts is made in accordance with the policies set by the management of the Company. In accordance with the provisioning policy the Company calculates the provision required based on prior experience of loan volumes that turn out to be doubtful and the statistics of recoverability of such debts. The provision for interest accrued is made in accordance with the provisioning policies set by the management making sure that cash flows from interest receivable are excluded from cash flows used as the basis for principal recoverability testing.

The recoverability of other debtors, advances and deposits paid is valued on individual basis if there are any indications of net book value of the asset exceeding its recoverable amount.

Finance lease (0)

Where the property, plant and equipment are acquired under a finance lease arrangement and the Company/Group takes over the related risks and rewards, the property, plant and equipment items are measured at the value at which they could be purchased for an immediate payment. Leasing interest is charged to the profit and loss in the period in which it arises.

(p) Operating leases

Company is a lessor

The type of lease in which the lessor retains a significant part of the risks and rewards pertaining to ownership, is classified as operating lease. Lease payments and prepayments for a lease (net of any financial incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the profit and loss under a straight-line method over the lease term.

(a) Taxes

The corporate income tax expense is included in the financial statements based on the management's calculations made in accordance with the requirements of Latvian tax legislation.

As of 1 January 2018, Corporate Income Tax is paid on distributed and notionally distributed profits.

The distributed and conditionally distributed profit will be subject to a 20 percent gross tax or 20/80 of the net cost. Corporate income tax on dividend payments is recognized in the income statement.

Deferred income tax is provided using the balance sheet liability method for tax loss carry forwards and temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax balances are measured at tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting period which are expected to apply to the period when the temporary differences are reversed or the tax loss carry forwards are utilised. Deferred tax balance is measured at a tax rate which is applicable for until decision of profits distribution is made. Therefore, any deferred tax liabilities or assets are recognised at tax rate applicable to undistributed profits.

(r) Provisions for unused annual leave

The amount of provision for unused annual leave is determined by multiplying the average daily pay of employees during the last 6 months by the number of accrued but unused annual leave days the end of the reporting year. The company separates the vacation provisions paid out till the date of annual report preparation and treats them as CIT deductible in the reporting period.

(s) Borrowings

Intially borrowings are recognised at the proceeds received net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings are stated at amortised cost which is determined using the effective interest method. The difference between the proceeds received, net of transaction costs and the redemption value of the borrowing is gradually recognized in the profit and loss account over the term of the borrowing.

Cash and cash equivalents (t)

For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, balances of current accounts with banks and short-term deposits with a maturity term of up to 90 days.

Payment of dividends (u)

Dividends due to the shareholders are recognized in the financial statements as a liability in the shareholders approve the disbursement of dividends.

(v) Financial risk management

(v1) Financial risk factors

The activities of the Company expose it to different financial risks:

(v1.1) foreign currency risk;

(v1.2) credit risk:

(v1.3) operational risk,

(v1.4) market risk;

(v1.5) liquidity risk;

(v1.6) cash flow and interest rate risk.

The Company's overall risk management is financial markets and aims to reduce its adverse effects on the Company's finance Director is responsible for risk management. The Finance Director identifies, assesses and seeks to find solutions to avoid financial risks acting in close cooperation with of the Company.

(v1.1) Foreign exchange risk

The Company operates mainly in the local market and its exposure to foreign exchange risk is low. With the current incomeexpense structure additional monitoring procedures for currency risk monitoring are not deemed necessary. No further risk prevention mechanisms are used on the account that the overall currency risk has been assessed as low.

(v1.2) Credit risk

The Company has a credit risk concentration based on its operational specifics - issuance of loans against pledge, as well as issuance of non-secured loans that is connected with an increased risk of asset recoverability. The risk may result in short-term liquidity problems and issues related to timely coverage of short-term liabilities. The Company's policies are developed in order to ensure maximum control procedures in the process of loan issuance, timely identification of bad and doubtful debts and adequate provisioning for potential loss.

(v1.3) Operational risk

Operational risk is a loss risk due to external factors namely (natural disasters, crimes, etc.) or internal ones (IT system crash, fraud, violation of laws or internal regulations, insufficient internal control). Operation of the Company carries a certain operational risk which can be managed using several methods to identify, analyse, report and reduce the operational risk. Also self-assessment of the operational risk is carried out as systematic approval of new products is provided to ensure the compliance of the products and processes with the risk environment of the activity.

(v1.4) Market risk

The Company is exposed to market risks, basically related to the fluctuations of interest rates between the loans granted and funding received, as well as demand for the Company's services fluctuations. The Company attempts to limit market risks, adequately planning the expected cash flows, diversifying the product range and fixing funding resource interest rates

(v1.5) Liquidity risk

The Company complies with the prudence principle in the management of its liquidity risk and maintains sufficient funds. The management of the Company has an oversight responsibility reserves and make current forecasts based on anticipated cash flows. Most of the Company's liabilities. The management is of the opinion that the Company will be able to secure sufficient liquidity by its operating activities, however, if required, the management of the Company is certain of financial support to be available from the owners of the Company.

(v1.6) Cash flow interest rate risk

As the Company has borrowings and finance lease obligations, the Company's cash flows related to financing costs to some extent depend on the changes in market rates of interest. The Company's interest payment related cash flows depend on the current market rates of interest. The risk of fluctuating interest rates is partly averted by the fact that a number of loans received have fixed interest rates set. Additional risk minimization measures are not taken because the available bank products do not provide an effective control of risks.

(v2) Accounting for derivative financial instruments

The Company does not actively use derivative financial instruments in its operations. Derivative financial instruments are initially recognized at fair value on the date of the contract, and are thereafter measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Derivative financial instruments are carried as assets if their fair value is positive and as liabilities if fair value is negative. Any gains or losses arising due to the changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instrument are not classified hedges and are recognized directly in the profit and loss.

(w) Significant assumptions and estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with International Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and Latvian law requires the management to rely on estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and off-balance sheet assets and liabilities at the date of financial statements, as well as the revenues and expenses reporting in the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The following judgements and key assumptions concerning the future are critical, and other causes in the calculations as at the date of financial statements, with a significant risk of causing a material chance sheet value of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:

  • The Company review the useful lives of its fixed assets at the end of each reporting period. The management makes estimates and uses assumptions with respect to the useful lives of fixed assets. These assumptions may change and the calculations may therefore change.
  • · The Company review the value of its fixed assets and intangible assets whenever any events or circumstances support that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Impairment loss is recognised in the amount equalling the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less the costs to sell and the value in use. The view that considering the anticipated volumes of services no material adjustment are required the asset values.
  • In measuring inventories the management relies on its experience, background information, and potential assumptions and possible future circumstances. In assessing the impairment of the value of inventories consideration is given to the possibility to sell the item of inventories and the net realisable value.
  • The Company's management, based on estimates, makes provisions for the impairment of the value of receivables. The Company's management is of the opinion that the provisions for receivables presented in the financial statements accurately reflect the expected cash flows from these receivables and that these estimates have been made based on the best available information.
  • · The Company is composed with caution savings potential future payment obligations in cases where disputes the validity of such legal obligation, or there are legal disputes about the amount of such liabilities.

(32) Subsequent events

After the end of the financial year, in March 2020, the Republic of Latvia and many other countries have announced coronavirus related restrictions that substantially decrease the economic development of the world. It is unpredictable how the situation would develop in the future, and therefore uncertainty regarding economic development remains. The Company's management is continuously assessing the situation and currently the Company's operations have not been significantly negatively affected.

To ensure the Company's operational stability in unclear economic environment, the Company's management has taken ro oneans the Sompany o operational costs, (2) decrease of lending activity and focus on long-term clients with good credit history, (3) measures for maintaining high liquidity. The Company's management believes that these actions will allow to overcome the emergency situation and economic crisis related to it. However, this conclusion is based on the information available at the moment of signing these financial statements and the impact of further events on overall economic situation is unpredictable. Therefore, it is possible that the Company's loan portfolio will increase, to a greater extent than the Company has estimated. That will have a negative effect on the Company's performance and it can impact the compliance with financial covenants stipulated in the Company's financing agreements.

Independent Auditor's Report

To the shareholders of SIA "DelfinGroup"

Our Opinion on the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the separate financial statements of SIA "DelfinGroup" ("the Company") and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries ("the Group") set out on pages 10 to 40 of the accompanying separate and consolidated Annual Report, which comprise:

  • · the separate and consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019;
  • · the separate and consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year then ended;
  • · the separate and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
  • · the separate and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended;
  • · notes to the separate and consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the separate and consolidated financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2019, and of its separate and consolidated financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS").

Basis for Opinion

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 Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report.

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.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter

We draw attention to the note 32 of the separate and consolidated financial statements, which describes uncertainty in the economic environment created by the outbreak of the novel coronavirus. The magnitude of uncertainty encumbers Company's management capacity to forecast the Company's development in near term. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

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

We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report:

Impairment of the loans to customers (the Company and the Group)

Key audit The Company and the Group are providing unsecured loans to individuals in matter Latvia. Total gross amount of the Group's loans comprised EUR 34,983 thousand and provision for expected credit loss comprised EUR 3,436 thousand as at 31 December 2019 (further information is provided in the note 15 of the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements). We considered impairment in the value of loans and associated estimates for the loan loss allowance as a key audit matter as loan portfolio represents 82% of the Group's total consolidated assets as at 31 December 2019 and potential loan loss impact on the financial performance of the Company and the Group.

Our audit Our main audit procedures were as follows:

  • response . . · We assessed whether the Company's and the Group's accounting policies in relation to the impairment of loans to customers are in compliance with the IFRS requirements.
    • · We tested internal controls applied within processes related to the loan approval and issuance as well as control over delayed payments and debt collection. This also included testing of general IT controls related to the automated loan issuance and re-payment control processes as well as data gathering and processing for the calculation of loan loss allowance.
    • · We tested the logic and accuracy of expected credit loss calculation models developed by the Company with a particular focus on the assessment of probability of default and loss given default ratios. We tested completeness and accuracy of data used for the calculation of loan loss allowance.

Expected credit loss for the real estate loans (the Group)

Key audit As disclosed in the note 15 of the accompanying separate and consolidated matter financial statements, during the reporting period one of the Group's entities acquired unsecured claim rights against companies involved in real estate trading. The gross value of these assets as at 31 December 2019 comprised EUR 6,279 thousand while provision of expected credit loss - EUR 450 thousand. We considered these assets as a key audit matter because their risk profile is significantly different from the rest of the Group's loan portfolio, their recovery depends on successful completion of real estate projects and significant negative deviations from management estimates for expected credit loss may result in major impact on the financial performance of the Group.

Our audit Our main audit procedures were as follows:

  • response including comparison of real estate sales price assumptions used by the management with third party information.
    • · Where necessary, we asked to make corrections for management assumptions related to the projected time period to complete the sale of properties and associated calculation of expected credit loss.
    • · We tested completeness and accuracy of information disclosed in the financial statements with respect to these assets.

Reporting on Other Information

The Company's and the Group's management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises:

  • · Information about the Company and the Group, as set out on pages 3 to 5 of the accompanying Annual Report,
  • · the Statement on Management Responsibility, as set out on page 6 of the accompanying Annual Report,
  • · the Management Report, as set out on pages 7 to 8 of the accompanying Annual Report,
  • · the Statement of Corporate Governance as set out on page 9 of the accompanying Annual Report.

Our opinion on the separate and consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information included in the Annual Report, 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 related to other information section of our report.

In connection with our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the separate and consolidated 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.

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.

Based solely on the work required to be undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion:

  • · the information given in the Management Report for the financial year for which the separate and consolidated financial statements are prepared is consistent with the separate and consolidated financial statements; and
  • · the Management Report has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Law On the Annual Reports and Consolidated Annual Reports.

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 required in section 56.2, third paragraph of the Financial Instruments Market Law.

In our opinion, the Statement of Corporate Governance includes the information required in section 56.2, third paragraph of the Financial Instruments Market Law.

The Group does not prepare the Non-financial statement.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the 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 liguidate the Company and/or the 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 the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and consolidated 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 separate and consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • · Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated 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 and the Group'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 and/or the Group'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 separate and consolidated 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 and/or the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
  • · Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and consolidated 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 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.

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 by those charged with governance on 20 November 2018 to audit the separate and consolidated financial statements of SIA "DelfinGroup" for the year ended 31 December 2019. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is two years, covering the periods ending 31 December 2018 to 31 December 2019.

We confirm that:

  • · our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report presented to the Council of the Company and the Group who executes the Audit Committee function;
  • as referred to in the paragraph 37.6 of the Law on Audit Services of the Republic of Latvia we have not provided to the Company and the Group the prohibited non-audit services (NASS) referred to in the article 5, paragraph 1 of the EU Regulation (EU) No 537/2014.
