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

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the annual financial statements of the current period. They include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement, including assessed risk of material misstatement due to fraud. These matters were addressed in the context of the audit of the annual financial statements as a whole, and in forming the auditor's opinion thereon. Below, we provided a summary of our response to those risks and where relevant, key observations arising with those risks. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The risk of improper recognition of revenues in the relevant reporting period	Auditor's response
Sales revenue recognition is based on granting a license for the distribution of games	As part of the audit, we documented our understanding of the revenue recognition process and identified key elements of internal control as part of this process.
Due to the valuable significance of this revenue item and the use of information from an external entity in the valuation process, this has been identified as one of the key risks of the audit.	The audit procedures carried out in this area included:
	• review of the accounting policy in the part concerning the recognition of revenues and related estimates and judgments,
Disclosures of sales revenues are presented in note 1 and provision for returns in note 37 to the financial statements.	• detailed substantive tests, including analysis of transactions at the ends of reporting periods (including Cyberpunk 2077 premiere).
	• analytical procedures consist in particular in the analysis of sales and margins and their trends, broken down into months and years,
	• Analysis and substantive procedures on provisions for returns.
Expenses for development works (ongoing and completed)	Auditor's response
The company has significant expenditures for unfinished and completed development works.	As part of the audit, we documented our understanding of the process of allocating expenditures for

Determining the scope of development

development works, the moment of acceptance for use, and the depreciation methods and rates for completed development works.

Expenses for development works (ongoing and completed) Auditor's response

expenditures to be capitalized in assets, determining the expected useful life of capitalized expenditures and their assessment in in the context of impairment involve making significant accounting judgments and estimates. Accordingly, we identified this as the key audit matter.

Disclosures of development works revenues are presented in note 12 to the financial statements.

The procedures carried out in this area also included:

• detailed substantive tests of the correctness of allocation of expenditures for development works

• verification of internal control and correct operation of the dedicated IT system operation

• assessment of indication of and impairment tests of finished development works and work in progress,

• assessment of the correctness of the adopted rates and methods of deprecation of CP 2077 development works

In connection with the complications related to the premiere of a new game, additional claims may arise against the company.

In the last quarter of 2020, the premiere of the game Cyberpunk 2077 took place. In addition to the recognition of revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities related to the sale of the game in the financial statements, the Management Board of the Company also analysed claims against the Company related to the premiere of the game by its buyers and distributors, both those reported up to the date of the financial statements, as well as any possible future claims. The assessment of these claims and the inclusion of their results in the financial statements required the Management Board to make significant accounting judgments and estimates, therefore we identified this issue as the key audit matter.

Disclosures about these events are presented in notes 46 and 37 to the financial statements

Risk of claims Auditor's response

As part of our audit we documented our understanding of the current state. The procedures carried out in this area also included:.

• Interview with the Management Board about the potential legal consequences of the hacker attack,

• Interview with the Management Board about potential disputes in the United States of America,

• Analysis of correspondence with Competition and Consumer Protection Office,

• Analysis of letters from lawyers who provide legal services to the company,

• Assessment of the correctness and completeness of disclosures made in the financial statements and verification of the completeness of the provisions related to sale of the game.

Responsibilities of Management Board and Supervisory Board for the Annual Financial Statements

The Management Board of the Company is responsible for the preparation, on the basis of properly maintained books of account, of these annual financial statements that give a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and cash flows of the Company in accordance with the International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and related interpretations published in the form of European Commission regulations, adopted accounting principles (policy), legal regulations, and the Company's articles of association. The Management Board of the Company is also responsible for such internal control as the Management Board determines is necessary to enable the preparation of annual financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the annual financial statements, the Management Board 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 the Management Board either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease the operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

In accordance with the Accounting Act of September 29, 1994 (uniform text: Journal of Laws of 2021, item 217:, as amended) (the Accounting Act), the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of the Company are obliged to assure compliance of the annual financial statements with the requirements of the Accounting Act. The Supervisory Board is responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Annual Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual 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 NSAs 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 annual financial statements.

The scope of the audit does not include assurance on the future viability of the Company or on the efficiency or effectiveness with which the Management Board has conducted or will conduct the affairs of the Company.

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

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual 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 the Management Board.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Management Board'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 annual 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 annual financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the annual financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the Supervisory Board 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 the Supervisory Board with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, 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 matters communicated with the Supervisory Board, 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 auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that the 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.

Our opinion on the annual financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon that results from NSAs. In connection with our audit of the annual financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether it is materially inconsistent with the annual financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of the other information, we are required to report that fact. Additionally, according to the Act on Statutory Auditors, our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the Report on the Company's operations has been prepared in accordance with legal regulations and whether information included therein is consistent with the accompanying annual financial statements. Moreover, we are obliged to express an opinion on whether the Company included the required information in the Corporate Governance Statement. We obtained the Report on the Company's operations and Corporate Governance Statement prior to the date of this auditor's report, while the remaining parts of the Annual Report will be delivered later.
