DIRECTORS' REPORT

The Company performs management and coordination activities in its capacity as Parent Company of the Digital Bros Group.

Digital Bros S.p.A. also distributes in Italy, video games acquired from international publishers under the Halifax brand. The games are marketed through a direct sales network of key accounts and through an indirect sales network of sales agents. The Company also distributes Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards in Italy.

Revenues are generated mostly in Italya as highlighted in the Notes to Digital Bros S.p.A. Financial Statements.

1. THE VIDEOGAMES MARKET

The video games market represents one of the most important segments of the entertainment industry. Movies, books and magazines, video games and toys are part of the industry and share the same characteristics, brands, features and intellectual properties.

The market is constantly evolving and growing, driven by the continuous technological upgrades. Gaming is no longer limited to personal computers and traditional consoles (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo), but has expanded to mobile phones and tablet devices. High speed connectivity, fiber optic networks and smart phones have made video games increasingly diversified, sophisticated and interactive and have expanded the gaming population to adults and women. Streaming gaming is also becoming increasingly popular.

The video games market follows the continuous technological evolution of consoles. At the launch of a new console, as it happened in the reporting period, the prices of the hardware and the related video games are high and relatively low quantities are sold. Across their lifecycle, console and video game prices gradually decline, while the volumes and the video games quality increase.

Video games are sold through digital marketplaces, however highly popular and high-quality video games are also distributed through the traditional sales channel. In this case, the value chain is as follows:

The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated the decline of the video games retail distribution being replaced by digital distribution.

The digitalization of the market has led both Microsoft (with Microsoft Xbox Game Pass) and Sony (with Sony PlayStation Now) to create digital platforms on which players can access the full library of video games by paying a subscription fee. Revenues are recognized to publishers based on the utilization of their video games. More recently Apple has set up a similar platform, Apple Arcade, a platform for video games usable on mobile platforms. Digital distribution has extended the lifecycle of a single video game. The availability of a video game is no longer limited to its launch period as happened in the retail channel. The product remains available on the different marketplaces for a longer period, generating a continuous flow of sales significantly influenced by promotional campaigns. A video game life cycle can also be extended through the release of additional episodes and functions (the so-called DLC, or Downloadable Contents).

The Group that Digital Bros controls is operating both on digital marketplaces and in the free to play, or Free to Play, games sector. Therefore, the parent company that was operating directly in the traditional physical retail distribution sector has seen its core revenues decline over time, while the subsidiaries' revenues have gradually grown.

The growth in revenues from digital distribution, but also the upstream integration that the Group has decided with the acquisition and establishment of development studios, has led to a growth in importance of the coordination activities that the Company carries out.

2. PERFORMANCE RATIOS

Since different fiscal years, the Group continuously utilizes some performance ratios to simplify the comprehension of the consolidated profit and loss statement and balance sheet.

The following ratios are directly reported in the profit and loss statement:

Gross profit, being the difference between net revenue and total cost of sales;
EBITDA, being the difference between gross profit, other income and total operating cost plus other income;
EBIT, being the difference between EBITDA and total depreciation, amortization and impairment adjustments.

The balance sheet ratio net financial position is detailed in section 4 of the Notes.

The definitions of the ratios used by the Group, as they are not defined by any accounting standard, may not be homogeneous with those adopted by other companies and therefore comparable with them. A reconciliation between the Director's Report and the profit and loss statement is not needed, because they are used on a consistent base.

3. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS DURING THE REPORTING PERIOD

Relations with Starbreeze AB and Starbreeze AB shareholders

In recent years, Digital Bros Group and Starbreeze AB Group have entered multiple different transactions, summarized below:

• in May 2016, the Group sold back the PAYDAY2 co-publishing rights to Starbreeze AB against a payment of USD 30 million and an earn-out of USD 40 million as 33% of the net revenues from the future video game PAYDAY3. The earn-out at the end of the period was not accounted, not having met the requirements for recognition under international accounting standards, the amount and timing of accrual being currently undetermined;

• since November 2018, Digital Bros S.p.A. has acquired 6,369,061 Starbreeze AB A shares, as traded on Nasdaq Stockholm, at an average price of SEK 1.79 per share.

The OVERKILL's The Walking Dead unsuccess created financial problems to Starbreeze AB, enforcing the company and five subsidiaries to demand the Swedish District Court for admission to a restructuring plan. The Swedish Court approved the restructuring request which was later extended several times until December 3rd, 2019. On December 6th, 2019, Starbreeze AB successfully completed the corporate restructuring process, proposing a payment plan to its creditors.

In January and February 2020, the Group carried out the following transactions:

on January 15th, 2020, Digital Bros S.p.A. acquired 18,969,395 Starbreeze AB A shares held by Swedish company Varvtre AB for a consideration of around SEK 25.8 million, at a price of SEK 1.36 per share, plus a potential earn-out in case of a gain on disposal realized in the 60 months after the acquisition;
on February 26th, 2020, Digital Bros S.p.A. completed the acquisition of all of the assets held by Smilegate Holdings in Starbreeze AB for a price of Euro 19.2 million. The assets acquired have a nominal value of Euro 35.3 million, as detailed below:
- (a) a convertible bond of SEK 215 million (around Euro 20 million as of June 30th, 2022) issued by Starbreeze AB for a total of Euro 16.9 million. The full conversion of the bond would lead to the issue of 131,933,742 new Starbreeze AB B shares. The original conversion price of SEK 2.25 per share was recalculated at SEK 1.63 per share due to the dilution effect of the share capital increase successfully carried out by Starbreeze AB in September 2020. Should it not be fully or even partially converted, the bond will be repaid based on the terms of payment approved by the Swedish District Court and not later than December 2024;
- (b) a receivable of around USD 20 million for a consideration of Euro 100 thousand. This credit falls under the Starbreeze AB corporate restructuring process and will be repaid based on the terms of payment approved by the Swedish District Court and not later than December 2024;
- (c) 3,601,083 Starbreeze AB A shares and 6,018,948 Starbreeze AB B shares for a total amount of Euro 2.2 million.

On April 28th, 2023, Starbreeze announced a rights issue of approximately Swedish Kronor ("SEK") 450 million, Digital Bros Group has committed to:

underwrite the pro-rata share of the rights issue, corresponding to approximately SEK 54 million;
underwrite an incremental commitment for a maximum of SEK 100 million of unsubscribed rights, following the capital increase process;
convert the total outstanding convertible loan of approximately SEK 215 million held by Digital Bros in Starbreeze B shares within 30 days from the closing of the capital increase process and after having received the recalculation of the revised conversion price.

As part of the overall agreement, Starbreeze has committed to using the proceeds from the capital increase primarily for the payment of the credit of SEK 150 million to Digital Bros, originally amounting to SEK 165 million, and net of the effective use of the commitment described at point 2).

As of June 30th, 2023, the company holds 113.2 million Starbreeze A shares and 48.6 million Starbreeze B shares as a result of the pro quota subscription outlined in point 1) and a negligible use of the commitment mentioned in point 2) above. This number of shares represents 11.96% of the capital and 29.16% of the voting rights.

The Group assesses to have no significant influence over Starbreeze, considering its governance structure, and despite the ongoing contractual relationships and the stake held in the Swedish company. Consequently, it has classified the shares as other investments, as it has in previous periods. Adjustments to this classification and valuation would be performed if any substantial changes in the relationship between the two groups will occur.

After the end of the fiscal year, on July 3rd, 2023, the Group successfully received its credit of 150 million SEK. On the same date, 3.3 million multiple-vote Starbreeze A shares were subscribed (equivalent to approximately 2.5 million Swedish Kronor) as a result of the guarantee provided for the unsubscribed options.

On July 10th, 2023, the Company requested the conversion of approximately 29.5 million multiple-vote Starbreeze A shares into single-vote Starbreeze B shares. This process was carried out to reduce its voting stake, in order to comply with EU regulations on mandatory takeover bids and in response to conversion requests from other Starbreeze shareholders and to comply with EU regulations, while also weighing in the effects of subsequent conversion of convertible bonds.

On July 19th, 2023, the Company requested the full conversion of the convertible bond, into 148.3 million Starbreeze B shares.

As of September 27th, 2023, after additional conversions of multiple-vote shares into single-vote shares by different shareholders, the Group now holds 87 million Starbreeze A shares and 223.4 million Starbreeze B shares. This accounts for 21% of the total capital and 38.8% of voting rights.

30	Net profit/loss (26+29)	4,933	63.2%	7,325	79.3%	(2,392)	-32.7%

Total gross revenue decreased by 14.7% at Euro 7,877 thousand compared to Euro 9,235 thousand as of June 30th , 2022 confirming the contraction already shown in recent years.

Gross revenue is analyzed as follows:

Euro thousand	June 30th, 2023	June 30th, 2022	Change €	Change %
Revenue from video games for consoles	711	1,338	(627)	-46.9%
Revenue from trading cards	1,998	2,543	(545)	-21.4%
Revenue from other products and services	5,168	5,354	(186)	-3.5%

The costs for the purchase of products destinated for resale have decreased by 59.4%, to Euro 2,580 thousand. Inventories decreased by Euro 464 thousand, in line with the decline in product sales revenues.

Operating costs amounted to Euro 7,354 thousand, decreasing by Euro 1,476 thousand due to lower payroll costs, partially offset by higher costs for services for Euro 116 thousand. Payroll costs reduction was driven by the fact that variable compensation components were not disbursed and because the overall wages were not increased based on the 2021-2027 Medium-Long Term Monetary Incentives Plan, since the consolidated net operating profitability was lower than expected.

The increase in service costs amounts to Euro 116 thousand and is related to the following: DPO and GDPR compliance, an higher number of brokers, expenses related to the implementation of ESG measures, costs related to the formulation of two inquiries to the Revenue Agency, expenses incurred for activities linked to the capital increase of Starbreeze AB, and expenditures for the drafting of the financial statements in ESEF format.

The adjustment to the present value of the financial credit purchased from Starbreeze and subsequently cashed on July 3, 2023, totaling Euro 3,979 thousand.

Profit before tax decreased to Euro 3,920 thousand against Euro 7,974 thousand as of June 30th, 2022. Net profit amounted to Euro 4,933 thousand against a Euro 7,325 thousand net profit in the prior fiscal year

During the reporting period, there were no atypical or unusual transactions, as defined by Consob Communication DEM 6064293 of July 28th, 2006, as in the prior fiscal year.

8. TREASURY SHARES

As of June 30th , 2023, Digital Bros S.p.A. did not hold any treasury shares and did not carry out any transactions in treasury shares during the reporting period, pursuant to Art. 2428(2)(3) of the Italian Civil Code.

9. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

The Company did not engage in any research and development activity during the fiscal year.

10. OPERATIONAL RISKS, FINANCIAL RISKS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company has a risk identification process that involves the Board of Directors together with the first-level organisational structures in coordination meetings held periodically throughout the year. Their work is summarised in a risk matrix that is prepared and regularly reviewed by the Executive Director in charge of internal control, who is part of the coordination meetings. Each risk is summarized in a report that provides a description of the risk, a detailed gross risk rating based on a probability/impact matrix, the mitigating factors and/or the internal process implemented to reduce and monitor the risk. All the process above allows the determination of the individual net risk rating. The Control and Risk Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors reviewed the risk matrix prepared by the Executive Director in charge of internal control.

The individual risk schedule also reports the impact that failure to meet the control objectives would have in terms of operations and financial reporting.

The two Chief Executives Officers jointly assess the completeness of the risk matrix and the net risk ratings. The Board of Statutory Auditors supervises the process.

Risks fall into two different categories: operational risks and financial risks..

Operational risks

Dependence on key personnel represents Digital Bros S.p.A. most significant operational risk. The Company's success depends on the performance of certain key individuals who have made an important contribution to its development and have acquired valuable experience in the games industry.

The Company has an executive team (Chairman, CEOs and CFO) with many years of experience in the sector and who plays a decisive role in the management of its business. The loss of the services of these individuals without suitable replacements could have a negative impact on the Company's results and financial position and, in particular, could affect the risk detection, assessment and monitoring process.

This risk is mitigated by the fact that the two CEOs are also major shareholders in the Company and by the fact that a long-term incentive plan has been implemented for the CFO.

Management of financial risks and financial instruments

The main financial instruments used by the Company are:

Bank overdrafts;
Sight and short-term bank deposits;
Import financing;
Export financing;
Commercial credit lines (factoring of trade receivables and advances on notes);
Finance leases.

The purpose of these instruments is to finance the Company's operating activities.

Credit facilities granted to the Company and utilized as of June 30th, 2023 are as follows:

Euro thousands	Facility	Disposed	Available
Bank overdrafts	1,200	984	216
Import financing	7,250	7,182	68
Advances on invoices and cash orders subject to collection	4,250	0	4,250
Factoring	1,000	11	989
Medium-term product development financing	1,720	1,720	0
Total	15,420	9,897	5,523

Digital Bros S.p.A. manages all financial risks, also on behalf of the other subsidiaries. This is excepted in relation to other financial instruments not listed above i.e., trade payables and receivables arising from operating activities for which each subsidiary remains responsible for the financial risk.

The Company seeks to maintain a balance between short-term and medium/long-term financial instruments in line with its forecast. The Company's core business, the sale and marketing of video games, entails investments primarily in net working capital which are funded through short-term credit lines. Long-term investments are normally financed through medium/long-term lines of credit often dedicated to the individual investment, including finance leases.

Given the above, medium- and long-term financial payables have a well-distributed range of maturities.

The main risks generated by the Company's financial instruments are:

interest rate risk;
liquidity risk.
Interest rate risk

The Company's exposure to the risk of interest rate fluctuation is limited with regard to its medium and long-term financial instruments which were originally arranged as fixed-rate instruments or have been converted into fixed rate using appropriate derivative agreements.

The risk of interest rate increases is an effective risk for short-term financial instruments because the Company cannot immediately pass on any interest rate rises by increasing its selling prices.

The level of debt is low or next to zero and the interest rate risk is further mitigated by the implementation of a short-term cash flow procedure. The Company has subscribed one option for a notional value of Euro 1,375 thousand to cover changes in interest rates on the Euro 1,375 thousand loan granted by UniCredit S.p.A. on January 28th, 2021.

Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk relates to problems in accessing the credit market.

It often takes several years to develop a video game. This means it is necessary to find additional lines of credit to cover the period between the investment and the return on invested capital after the product launch.

The mitigating factors that can reduce this risk are:

cash flows, financing requirements and liquidity requirements are monitored centrally by the Group Treasury with the aim of ensuring effective and efficient management of financial resources and guaranteeing an appropriate level of available liquidity;
the Group's level of capitalisation means it only has to use leverage to a marginal extent.

The results of short and medium/long-term planning, currently available funds and funds to be generated by operating activities are expected to enable the Company to fulfil its funding requirements with regard to capex, working capital management and debt repayment at scheduled maturity. They should also be able to determine the Company's funding requirements in good time.

Exchange rate risk

The Company holds a significant stake in the Swedish listed company Starbreeze. The share prices of Starbreeze have historically exhibited extreme volatility and are denominated in SEK (Swedish Krones).

Therefore, the Company is exposed to the potential risk of the EUR/SEK exchange rate as well as the risk related to the stock prices of Starbreeze's shares.

11. CONTINGENT AQSSETS AND LIABILITIES

As of June 30th, 2023 – similarly to previous fiscal year – there were no contingent assets or liabilities.

12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

As of July 1st, 2023, Digital Bros S.p.A. acquired the remaining 40% of the share capital of the Czech company Ingame Studios a.s. for an amount of Euro 350 thousand. At the time of consolidation, the company had a net equity, of 44,828 thousand Czech crowns, resulting in a badwill of Euro 405 thousand.

Subsequent events related to the relationship with Starbreeze are detailed in paragraph 4).

13. BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The gradual digitalization of the market has characterized recent years and triggered a gradual reduction in physical sales of video games in Italy that has been further heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and is likely to continue in the near future.

The Company will enhance its Group coordination activities which will result to an increase in other revenues. At the same time, the positive performance of the subsidiaries Kunos Simulazioni S.r.l. and 505 Games S.p.A. will enable to keep dividends in line with the previous fiscal year.

As a result of the above, a positive net profit is forecast for the forthcoming reporting period.

14. OTHER INFORMATION

EMPLOYEES

The following table details the number of employees as of June 30th, 2023 with comparative figures as at June 30th,2022:

Blue-collar workers and apprentices	4	4	0
Total employees	39	42	(3)

The Company's employees are contracted under the current Confcommercio national collective employment agreement for the commercial, distribution and services sector.

ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE

The video game industry has a negligible impact on the environment, as its activities are mainly digital.

Most of the products are sold through digital marketplaces and the Group aims to progressively reduce sales in physical stores. Although the environmental impact is considered very low, the Group actively monitors any solutions that may reduce the environmental impacts of the Group's activities to date and in the future.

The Group updates obsolete equipment as much as possible and recycles all components correctly. The Group stores everything in a digital format and prints documents only if required by the Law or if the scope of a specific task requires it. Consumables such as printer toners and similar waste are returned to the supplier for correct recycling. The Group is committed to replace travel with digital communications (i.e. video conferencing) to improve sustainability both from an environmental and a cost reduction standpoint.

Financial statements as of June 30th 2023

Explanatory Notes

1. CONTENT AND OTHER GENERAL INFORMATION

The main activities carried out by Digital Bros S.p.A. are described in the Directors' Report.

Digital Bros S.p.A. financial statements as of June 30th, 2023 have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has concluded that the risks and uncertainties to which it is exposed, as described in the Directors' Report, do not create any uncertainty as to its ability to operate as a going concern.

The financial statements are presented in Euro, and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand euros, unless otherwise stated.

The financial statements also include comparative information with respect to the previous fiscal period.

Principi di redazione

Digital Bros S.p.A. financial statement as of on June 30th, 2023 were drafted according to Article 154-ter of Legislative Decree No. 58 of February 24, 1998, and subsequent amendments and additions. They also comply with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), based on the publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities (OJEC). The term "IFRS" also includes the International Accounting Standards (IAS) currently in force, as well as all interpretative documents issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

Digital Bros S.p.A. financial statements as of June 30th, 2023 have been prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS and with the related interpretations (SIC/IFRIC) endorsed by the European Commission as of the reporting date.

The financial statements and the notes thereto also include the disclosures required by Consob Resolution 15519 of July 27th, 2006 and Consob Communication 6064293 of July 28th, 2006.

The financial statements comprise the:

balance sheet as of June 30th, 2023 with comparative figures as of June 30th, 2022 (the annual reporting date for the previous consolidated financial statements);
profit and loss statement for the period ended June 30th, 2023 with comparative figures as of June 30th, 2022;
comprehensive income statement as of 30th, 2023 with comparative figures as of June 30th, 2022;
cash flow statement as of 30th, 2023 with comparative figures as of J June 30th, 2022;
statement of changes in equity as of 30th, 2023 with comparative figures as of June 30th, 2022.

The left-hand column of the balance sheet indicates the number of the relevant note.

The components of the balance sheet have been allocated to the following five categories:

non-current assets;
current assets;
equity;
current liabilities;
non-current liabilities.

Non-current assets consist of assets that are long-term in nature, such as property, plant and equipment to be used for more than one period, equity investments in subsidiaries and associated companies and receivables that fall due in subsequent periods. They also include deferred tax assets regardless of when they might be realized.

Current assets consist of items of a short-term nature such as inventories, trade receivables, cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets.

Equity consists of share capital, reserves and retained earnings (profit for the fiscal year plus prior fiscal year profits not allocated to specific reserves by the Shareholders General Meeting).

Non-current liabilities comprise provisions not expected to be used within twelve months as well as postemployment benefits, especially the provision for employee termination indemnities, and, in general, payables that fall due after June 30th, 2022.

Current liabilities include liabilities falling due by June 30th, 2022, mainly trade payables, tax liabilities and current financial liabilities.

The net financial position has been split between the current net financial position and the non-current net financial position and represents total net financial assets.

The left-hand column of the statement of profit and loss indicates the number of the relevant note.

The statement of profit and loss has been presented in a multi-step format, with expenses analyzed by nature and shows four intermediate levels of profit:

gross profit, being the difference between net revenue and total cost of sales;
gross operating margin (EBITDA), being the difference between gross profit and total operating costs, plus other income;
operating margin (EBIT), being the difference between gross operating margin and total depreciation, amortization and impairment adjustments;
profit before tax, being the difference between the operating margin and net financial income (expenses).

The consolidated cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method, whereby profit is adjusted for the effects of transactions of a non-cash nature, changes in net working capital, cash flows from financing and investing activities and changes in consolidated equity.

The overall change for the period is given by the sum of the following:

cash flows from operating activities;
changes in net working capital;
cash flows from investing activities;
cash flows from financing activities;
changes in consolidated equity.

The statement of changes in equity has been prepared in accordance with IAS/IFRS and shows changes between July 1st, 2020 and June 30th, 2023; non-controlling interests are disclosed separately.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

I criteri di valutazione adottati per la redazione del bilancio d'esercizio al 30 giugno 2023 sono coerenti a quelli utilizzati per la preparazione del bilancio d'esercizio al 30 giugno 2022, salvo quanto di seguito indicato per i nuovi principi applicati dal 1° luglio 2022.

The assessment criteria used for drafting the consolidated financial statements as of June 30th, 2023, are consistent with those used for the draft of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30th, 2022, except for the new principles applied since July 1st, 2022.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recognised at purchase or production cost and are shown net of depreciation and impairment. No assets have been revalued in prior years. No borrowing costs have been capitalised.

Leasehold improvements and costs incurred subsequent to purchase are capitalised only if they increase the future economic benefits associated with the asset. All other costs are recognised in profit and loss when incurred.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the assets' estimated useful lives or based on the duration of the lease, as follows:

Buildings	3%
Plant and machinery	12%-25%
Industrial and commercial equipment	20%
Other assets	20%-25%

Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at the inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments payable over the entire lease term, whereunder all risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to the Group. The corresponding lease obligation is recognised under financial liabilities. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each asset category.

Land is not depreciated but impairment adjustments are made if recoverable amount i.e., the greater of fair value and value in use, falls below reported cost.

The book value of an element of property, plant and equipment and any significant component initially recognized is eliminated at the time of disposal (i.e. on the date on which the purchaser obtains control) or when no future economic benefit is expected from its use or disposal. The profit / loss that emerges at the time of the derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net book value of the asset and the consideration received) is recognized in the profit and loss statement when the item is eliminated from the accounts.

The residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods of property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each year-end and, where appropriate, corrected prospectively.

Right of use for leased assets

The right of use for leased assets is recorded as assets on the effective date of the leasing contract, or the date on which a lessor makes the underlying asset available to the lessee. In some circumstances, the lease agreement may contain different components and consequently the effective date must be determined for each individual lease component.

This item is initially valued at cost and includes the present value of the Liability for leased assets, payments for leases made before or on the effective date of the contract and any other initial direct cost. The item can subsequently be further adjusted in order to reflect any restatements of assets / liabilities for leased assets.

The right of use for leased assets is amortized systematically in each fiscal year at the lesser of the contractual duration and the residual useful life of the underlying asset.

Typically, the leasing contracts signed by the Company do not provide for the transfer of ownership of the underlying asset and therefore amortization is carried out over the contractual term. Amortization starts at the date of the lease.

The asset is correspondingly written down should there be a loss in value determined according to the criteria described in the principle of onerous contracts, regardless of the amortization already accounted for.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets purchased or produced internally are capitalized in accordance with IAS 38 - Intangible assets when it is likely that their use will generate future economic benefits and when their cost can be reliably determined.

They are recognized at purchase or production cost and those with a finite useful life are amortized on a straightline basis over their estimated useful life.

The amortization rates applied are as follows:

Brands/Trademarks 10%
Microsoft Dynamics Navision licenses 20%.
Long-term licenses / User rights 20%.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized systematically over their estimated useful lives and amortization begins when the assets are available for use. Carrying amount is tested for recoverability in accordance with IAS 36, as explained under "impairment of assets" below.

The same criterion is used for long-term licenses for user rights, the amortization method of which must reasonably and reliably reflect the correlation between costs and income. the Company applies amortization on a straight-line basis over the contract term and, in any event, over a period not exceeding five years if the correlation cannot be objectively determined.

The related amortization is included in depreciation and amortization in the statement of profit and loss.

An intangible asset is eliminated at the time of disposal (i.e., on the date on which the buyer obtains control of it) or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any profit or loss resulting from the elimination of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net consideration for the disposal and the book value of the asset) is included in the profit and loss statement.

Equity investments

Equity investments in subsidiaries are recognized at cost and adjusted for impairment.

Any positive difference arising at the time of acquisition from third parties between the purchase cost and the Company's share of the fair value of equity is included in the carrying amount of the investment.

Equity investments in subsidiaries are tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 once a year, or more frequently if necessary. If there is evidence that these investments have been impaired, the related adjustment is duly recognized in profit and loss. If the Company's share of an investee's losses exceeds the carrying amount of the equity investment and if the Company is obliged to cover this loss, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced to zero and the Company's share of the additional losses is recognized as a provision in the statement of financial position. If there is any subsequent indication that an impairment loss may no longer exist or may have decreased, it is reversed in profit and loss up to the cost of the asset.

The profits and losses and assets and liabilities of associated companies are recorded in the financial statements using the equity method, except where the investments have been classified as held for sale.

Under this method, investments in associated companies are initially recognized at cost. The financial statements include the Company share of the profits or losses of the associated companies as recognized using the equity method until the date on which significant influence ends. An associate is a company over which the Group exercises significant influence. Significant influence means the power to participate in the determination of the financial and management policies of the associated company without having control or joint control.

In accordance with IFRS 9, investments in companies other than subsidiaries and associates, constituting noncurrent financial assets which are not held for trading, are measured at fair value, except in situations where fair value cannot be reliably determined: in such cases, the cost method is adopted. The changes in fair value are recognized in the comprehensive income statement (fair value through other comprehensive income - FVOCI) and without reclassification to the income statement of the profits or losses realized and according to the irrevocable faculty exercised by the company, and without reclassification of the profits or losses realized.

Impairment of assets

IAS 36 requires intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and investments in associated companies and other entities to be tested for impairment based on discounted future cash flows.

Accordingly, at least once a year, the Company tests the recoverability of the carrying amount of the above assets. If an impairment loss is identified, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the adjustment required. The Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The value in use of an asset is estimated by discounting estimated future cash flows after taxes to their present value at a discount rate that reflects the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognised if the recoverable amount is less than carrying amount. If impairment is subsequently reduced or reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment adjustment been recognised. This is except for goodwill in relation to which impairment adjustments cannot be reversed. A reversal of an impairment adjustment is recognised immediately in profit and loss.

Inventories

Inventories of finished goods are recognized at the lower of purchase cost including ancillary expenses and realizable value, as estimated based on market trends. Cost is determined based on specific cost.

When the realizable value of inventories is lower than their purchase cost, impairment is charged directly to the unit value of the article in question.

Receivables and payables

Receivables are measured at amortized cost which coincides with their estimated realizable value. The nominal amount of receivables is brought into line with estimated realizable amount by means of a provision for doubtful accounts, taking account of the specific circumstances of each debtor.

Receivables due from customers involved in insolvency proceedings are written off in full or written down to the extent that ongoing legal action indicates they are partially collectible.

Payables are stated at nominal amount.

Factoring of trade receivables

The Company factors trade receivables on a non-recourse basis with various factoring companies. In accordance with IAS 39, factored assets may be derecognized only when the associated risks and rewards have been substantially transferred. Accordingly, receivables factored without recourse that include provisions limiting the transfer of these risks and rewards at the time of the transaction, such as deferred payments or deductibles by the transferor, or that imply continued significant exposure to the trend in inflows deriving from the receivables, remain in the separate financial statements even though said receivables have been transferred. An amount equal to the sums advanced for factored receivables not yet collected is therefore recognized in the separate financial statements under other current financial liabilities.

Employee benefits

Employee termination indemnities (trattamento di fine rapporto or TFR) - mandatory for Italian companies pursuant to Art. 2120 of the Civil Code - constitute deferred compensation and depend on the employees' period of employment and the amount of compensation received while in the Company's service.

Effective January 1st, 2007, significant changes were made to Italian law governing the TFR. These changes included the choice given to employees to decide where to allocate their TFR entitlement accruing (in supplementary pension schemes or in the "Treasury Fund" managed by the Social Security agency INPS). Thus, the obligation towards INPS and the payments to supplementary pension schemes qualify as defined contribution plans while the amounts remaining in TFR, in accordance with IAS 19, retain their status as defined benefit plans.

In accordance with the amendment to IAS 19, actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the comprehensive income statement as items that will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss and in equity under other reserves.

Other long-term employee benefits

The valuation of other long-term benefits does not generally present the same degree of uncertainty as the valuation of post-employment benefits. For this reason, IAS 19 requires a simplified method of accounting for such benefits. Unlike the accounting required for post-employment benefits, this method does not recognize revaluations in the other components of the comprehensive income statement.

For other long-term employee benefits, an entity shall recognize the net total of the retirement cost in profit or loss.

Current and non-current provisions

The Company creates provisions for risks and charges when it has legal or constructive obligations to third parties whose exact amount and/or timing is uncertain and/or it is probable that the Company will have to employ resources to fulfil the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. The provisions are adjusted periodically to reflect any increases/decreases in the estimated amount of the liability.

Changes in estimates are recognized in the statement of profit and loss for the period in which the change occurs.

Financial assets and liabilities

Current financial assets, non-current financial assets and current and non-current financial liabilities are recognised in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits, mutual fund units, other highly negotiable securities and other financial assets recognised as available-for-sale.

Current financial assets and securities are recognised based on their trading date and, upon initial recognition.

Initial measurement

Upon initial recognition, financial assets are classified, as appropriate, based on the subsequent measurement methods, i.e. at amortized cost, at fair value recognized in the OCI comprehensive income statement and at fair value recognized in the profit and loss statement. The classification of financial assets at the time of initial recognition depends on the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of the financial assets and on the business model that the Company uses to manage them. With the exception of trade receivables which do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient, the Company initially values a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset that is not at fair value. value recognized in the income statement, the transaction costs. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component or for which the Company has applied the practical expedient are valued at the transaction price.

Subsequent evaluation

For the purposes of subsequent valuation, financial assets are classified into four categories:

Financial assets at amortized cost (debt instruments);
Financial assets at fair value recognized in the comprehensive income statement ("OCI") with reclassification of accumulated profits and losses (debt instruments);
Financial assets at fair value recognized in the comprehensive income statement ("OCI") without reversal of accumulated profits and losses at the time of elimination (equity instruments);
Financial asset at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost (debt instruments)

Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently valued using the criterion of effective interest and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in the profit and loss statement when the asset is eliminated, modified or revalued.

Financial assets measured at fair value through OCI (debt instruments)

For assets from debt instruments measured at fair value through OCI, interest income, changes for exchange differences and losses in value, together with write-backs, are recognized in the profit and loss statement and are calculated in the same way as financial assets measured at amortized cost. The remaining variations of fair value are recognized in OCI. At the time of elimination, the cumulative change in fair value recognized in OCI, it is reclassified in the profit and loss statement.

Investments in equity instruments

Upon initial recognition, the Group can irrevocably choose to classify its own equity investments as equity instruments recognized at fair value through OCI when they meet the definition of equity instruments pursuant to IAS 32 "Instruments Financials: Presentation" and are not held for trading. The classification is determined for every single instrument.

Profit and losses on these financial assets are never reversed to the profit and loss statement. Dividends are recognized as other revenues in the profit and loss statement when the right to payment has been approved, except when the Group benefits from such income as a recovery of part of the cost of the activity financial, in which case such profits are recognized in OCI. Equity instruments registered at fair value recognized in OCI are not subject to impairment test.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss

Financial instruments measured at fair value through profit and loss are recognized in the prospectus of the balance sheet at fair value and the net changes in fair value recognized in the profit and loss statement for the fiscal year.

Cancellation

Investments in financial assets can be derecognized (derecognition process) only when the contractual rights to receive the financial flows deriving from the investments have expired (e.g. final repayment of subscribed bonds) or when the Company transfers the financial asset and all the risks and benefits associated with it.

Financial liabilities include financial payables as well as other financial liabilities, including liabilities deriving from the market value valuation of derivative instruments, if negative.

Initial measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at the time of initial recognition, among financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or at amortized cost.

All financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value to which they are added when they are to be valued at amortized cost, the transaction costs directly attributable to them.

Subsequent evaluation

For the purposes of subsequent valuation, financial liabilities are classified into two categories:

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss;
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost (financing and loans).

Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss

Liabilities held for trading are all those assumed with the intent of extinguishing or transferring them in the short term. This category includes derivative financial instruments subscribed by the Group which are not designated as hedging instruments in a hedging relationship defined by IFRS 9.

Profit or losses on liabilities held for trading are recognized in the profit and loss statement for the fiscal year.

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost (financing and loans)

This is the most relevant category for the Group. After the initial recognition, the loans they are valued with the amortized cost criterion using the effective interest rate method. The profits and losses are recognized in the income statement when the liability is extinguished, as well as through the depreciation process.

The amortized cost is calculated by noting the discount or premium on the acquisition and the fees or costs that they are an integral part of the effective interest rate. Amortization at the effective interest rate is included in the financial charges in the profit and loss statement.

Cancellation

A financial liability is canceled when the obligation underlying the liability is extinguished, canceled or fulfilled. Where an existing financial liability was replaced by another of the same lender, under substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability substantially modified, such exchange or modification is treated as a cancellation accounting of the original liability, accompanied by the recognition of a new liability, with registration in the profit loss statement for the fiscal year of any differences between the book values.

Fair value

Fair value represents the consideration for which an asset could be exchanged or that should be paid to transfer the liability (exit price) in a free transaction between informed and independent parties. In the case of stocks traded on regulated markets, the fair value is determined with reference at the market price recorded (bid price) at the end of trading on the closing date of the period.

If the market price is not available, the fair value of the financial instruments is measured with the more appropriate valuation techniques, such as, for example, the analysis of discounted cash flows carried out with market information available at the closing date of the period.

Purchases or sales settled according to market prices are recognized according to the trade date which corresponds to the date on which the Group undertakes to buy or sell the asset. In case the fair value cannot be reliably determined, the financial asset is valued at cost, with indication in the explanatory notes of its type and related reasons.

Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

The Group uses derivative financial instruments, such as forward currency contracts, interest rate swaps and forward commodity contracts, to hedge its foreign currency risks, interest rate risks and commodity price risks, respectively. Such derivative financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified as:

Fair value hedges when hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognised asset or liability or an unrecognised firm commitment;
Cash flow hedges when hedging the exposure to variability in cash flows that is either attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction or the foreign currency risk in an unrecognised firm commitment;

• Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation.

Hedges that meet all the qualifying criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for, as described below.

Le operazioni che soddisfano tutti i criteri qualificanti per l'hedge accounting sono contabilizzate come segue:

Fair value hedges

The change in the fair value of a hedging instrument is recognised in the statement of profit or loss as other expense. The change in the fair value of the hedged item attributable to the risk hedged is recorded as part of the carrying value of the hedged item and is also recognised in the statement of profit or loss as other expense.

For fair value hedges relating to items carried at amortised cost, any adjustment to carrying value is amortised through profit or loss over the remaining term of the hedge using the EIR method. The EIR amortisation may begin as soon as an adjustment exists and no later than when the hedged item ceases to be adjusted for changes in its fair value attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedged item is derecognised, the unamortised fair value is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

When an unrecognised firm commitment is designated as a hedged item, the subsequent cumulative change in the fair value of the firm commitment attributable to the hedged risk is recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in OCI in the cash flow hedge reserve, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the statement of profit or loss. The cash flow hedge reserve is adjusted to the lower of the cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument and the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item.

The amounts accumulated in OCI are accounted for, depending on the nature of the underlying hedged transaction. If the hedged transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial item, the amount accumulated in equity is removed from the separate component of equity and included in the initial cost or other carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability. This is not a reclassification adjustment and will not be recognised in OCI for the period. This also applies where the hedged forecast transaction of a non-financial asset or non-financial liability subsequently becomes a firm commitment for which fair value hedge accounting is applied.

For any other cash flow hedges, the amount accumulated in OCI is reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period or periods during which the hedged cash flows affect profit or loss.

If cash flow hedge accounting is discontinued, the amount that has been accumulated in OCI must remain in accumulated OCI if the hedged future cash flows are still expected to occur. Otherwise, the amount will be immediately reclassified to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment. After discontinuation, once the hedged cash flow occurs, any amount remaining in accumulated OCI must be accounted for depending on the nature of the underlying transaction as described above.

Hedges of a net investment

Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, including a hedge of a monetary item that is accounted for as part of the net investment, are accounted for in a way similar to cash flow hedges. Gains or losses on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge are recognised as OCI while any gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised in the statement of profit or loss. On disposal of the foreign operation, the cumulative value of any such gains or losses recorded in equity is transferred to the statement of profit or loss.

Treasury shares

Treasury shares held by Digital Bros S.p.A. and other consolidated companies are deducted from equity. Their original cost and any positive/negative differences from their subsequent sale are recorded as equity movements under other reserves.

Leased assets liabilities

The Group recognizes the leased assets liability on the effective date of the leasing contract.

The liability for leased assets corresponds to the present value of the minimum payments due for the leasing and unpaid at the effective date, inclusive of those determined on the basis of an index or rate (initially assessed using the index or rate on the date of the contract), as well as any penalties provided for in the event that the duration of the leasing contract ("Lease term") provides for the option for the exercise of early termination of the leasing contract and the exercise of the same is estimated reasonably certain. The present value is determined using the implicit interest rate of the lease.

The liability for leased assets is subsequently increased by the interest accruing on it liabilities and less payments made for the lease.

Revenue

The IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers standard establishes a new revenue recognition model providing for:

identification of the contract with the customer;
identification of the performance obligations in the contract;
determination of the transaction price;
allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract;
revenue recognition criteria when the entity satisfies each performance obligation.

Accordingly, revenues from sales of goods and purchase costs are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or due, taking account of the amount of any returns, bonuses, trade discounts and volume-related rewards.

Revenues are recognized when the obligation to transfer the goods to the customer is fulfilled and the amount of the revenue can be measured reliably. If it is probable that discounts will be granted and the amount can be measured reliably, the discount is recognized as a revenue recognition at the same time as the sale is recognized.

Goods are transferred when the counterparty acquires control of them i.e. when it is able to decide on the use of the asset and to enjoy the benefits. In the case of retail sale, transfer generally occurs at the time of delivery of the goods and upon payment of the consideration by the end consumer. In the case of wholesale sales, transfer normally occurs when the goods arrive at the customer's warehouse.

Revenue and costs relating to services are recognized based on the state of completion of the service at the reporting date. The state of completion is determined based on an assessment of the work done. When the services under a single contract are rendered in more than one reporting period, the consideration is allocated to the various services based on their fair value.

When the Company acts as agent rather than as principal in a sales transaction, the revenuer recognized is equal to the Company's net commission.

Chargebacks to third parties of costs incurred on their account are recorded as reductions to the related cost.

Costs

Costs and other operating expenses are recognized when incurred in accordance with the accrual and matching principles, when they do not produce future economic benefits, or when those benefits do not qualify for recognition as assets.

Advertising costs are recognized upon receipt of the service.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales is the purchase or production cost of products, goods and/or services for resale. It includes all materials and processing costs.

Changes in inventories consist of the change in the period in the gross amount of period end inventories, net of the change in provisions for inventory obsolescence.

Dividends received

Dividends received from investee companies (different from subsidiary companies) are recognized when the right to receive payment is established, provided they derive from the allocation of profits earned subsequent to the acquisition of the investee. Such dividends are deducted from the carrying amount of the equity investment, if they derive from the distribution of reserves generated prior to acquisition.

Interest income and expenses

Interest income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis and shown separately in the statement of profit and loss without being offset against each other.

Current tax

Income tax includes all taxes computed on the Company's taxable income. Income tax is generally recognized in profit and loss, except when it pertains to items debited or credited directly to equity, in which case the tax effect is recognized directly in equity.

Other taxes not related to income, such as those on property and capital, are recognized as other operating costs.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is calculated in accordance with the balance sheet liability method. It is calculated on all temporary differences between the accounting and tax value of an asset or liability, with the exception of non-deductible goodwill and differences deriving from investments in subsidiaries that are not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets on tax losses and unused tax credits available for carry forward are recognized to the extent of the likelihood of earning enough future taxable income for these to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed using the tax rates expected to be in force when the temporary differences are likely to be realized or reversed. Unrecognized deferred taxes are reviewed at each profit and loss statement date and are recognized to the extent of the likelihood of earning enough future taxable income to be recovered. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined using the tax rates that are expected to be applicable, in the respective legal systems of the countries in which the Group operates, in the years in which it is foreseen that the temporary differences will be realized or settled.

Deferred taxes relating to items recognized outside the profit and loss statement are also recognized as of outside the statement of profit and loss and, therefore, in the shareholders' equity or in the comprehensive income statement, consistent with the element to which they refer.

They are classified as non-current assets and liabilities, regardless of the estimated year of use.

Earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period by the number of shares outstanding, excluding treasury shares. Diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share as no financial instruments convertible to shares were in issue during the period.

Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are recognised at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies as of the reporting date are translated at the exchange rate in force on that date. Exchange gains and losses generated by the settlement of monetary items or by their translation at rates other than those used upon initial recognition during the year or in prior periods are recognised in profit and loss.

Share-based payments - Payment transactions settled with equity instruments

Group employees (including executives) receive part of their remuneration through shares, therefore employees provide services in exchange for shares ("transactions settled with equity instruments"). The cost of transactions settled with equity instruments is determined by fair value at the date in which the assignment is made using an appropriate evaluation method.

This cost, together with the corresponding increase in shareholders' equity, is recognized under payroll costs for the period in which the conditions relating to the achievement of objectives and / or the provision of the service. The cumulative costs recognized for these transactions on the closing date of each exercise up to the vesting date are commensurate with the expiry of the vesting period and the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will actually vest. The cost or revenue in the profit and loss statement for the fiscal year represents the change in the accumulated cost recorded at the beginning and at the end of the fiscal year.

The terms of service or performance are not taken into consideration when defining the fair value of the plan at the grant date. However, the possible fulfilment of said conditions is considered when defining the best estimate of the number of capital instruments that will vest. Market conditions are reflected in the fair value at the grant date. Any other condition linked to the plan, which does not involve a service obligation, is not considered as a vesting condition. The non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of the plan e involve the immediate accounting of the cost of the plan unless there are also some conditions of service or performance.

No cost is recognized for rights that do not accrue as per unfulfilled performance and / or service conditions. When the rights include a market condition or a condition of non-vesting, these are treated as if they had vested regardless of the fact that the market conditions or other non-vesting conditions to which they are subject are respected or not, it being understood that all other performance and / or service conditions must be met.

If the conditions of the plan are changed, the minimum cost to be recognized is the fair value at the date of assignment in the absence of the modification of the plan itself, on the assumption that the original conditions of the plan are satisfied. In addition, a cost is recognized for each modification that involves an increase in fair value total payment plan, or that is in any case favourable for employees; this cost is valued with the reference to the modification date. When a plan is cancelled by the entity or the counterparty, any remaining element of the plan's fair value is immediately charged to the income statement.

The effect of the dilution of the options not yet exercised is reflected in the calculation of the profit dilution per share

New accounting standards

Accounting standards, amendments and IFRS interpretations applied from July 1st , 2022

Below are the accounting standards, amendments and interpretations issued by the IASB and endorsed by the European Union to be mandatorily adopted in the consolidated financial statements from July 1st . 2022:

- IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

in May 2017, the IASB issued IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (IFRS 17), a new comprehensive standard relating to insurance contracts that covers the detection and measurement, presentation and disclosure. The IFRS 17 will replace the IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts issued in 2005. IFRS 17 applies to all types of insurance contracts (for example: life, non-life, direct insurance, re-insurance) regardless of the type of entity issuing them, as well as to certain guarantees and financial instruments with discretionary participation characteristics. To this end, limited exceptions will apply. IFRS 17 general objective is to present a more useful and consistent accounting model for insurance contracts. In contrast to the provisions of IFRS 4 which are largely based on the maintenance of previous accounting policies, IFRS 17 provides a complete model for insurance contracts that covers all relevant accounting aspects. The heart of IFRS 17 is the general model, supplemented by:

the variable fee approach: a specific adaptation for contracts with direct participation features;
the award allocation approach: a simplified approach mainly dedicated to short-term contracts.

The amendments had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Definition of Accounting Estimates – Amendments to IAS 8

The amendments clarify the distinction between changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting principles and correction of errors. In addition, they clarify how entities use measurement and input techniques to develop accounting estimates.

Disclosure of Accounting Policies - Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2

The amendments to IAS 1 and to IFRS Practice Statement 2 Making Materiality Judgments provide guidelines and examples to help entities apply materiality judgments to disclosure on standards accounting. The amendments aim to replace the obligation for entities to provide their own "significant" accounting policies with the obligation to disclose their "relevant" accounting policies; in addition, guidelines are added on how entities apply the concept of relevance in making decisions regarding disclosure on accounting principles.

Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction – Amendments to IAS 12

The amendments restricted the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of IAS 12 (recognition exemption) so that it no longer applies to transactions that, upon initial recognition, give rise to equal temporary differences taxable and deductible. These amendments had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

Onerous contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendments to IAS 37

Amendments to IAS 37 specify which costs must be considered while assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making. The amendment provides for the application of an approach called "directly related cost approach". Costs that refer directly to a contract for the supply of goods or services include both incremental costs and costs directly attributed to contractual activities. General and administrative expenses are not directly related to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly recharged to the counterparty on the basis of the contract.

- Reference to the Conceptual Framework – Amendments to IFRS 3

The amendments aim to replace the references to the Framework for the Preparation and Presentation of Financial Statements, with references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting published in March 2018 without a significant change in the requirements of the standard. The amendment also added an exception to the IFRS 3 valuation principles to avoid the risk of potential "next day" losses or gains arising from contingent liabilities and contingent liabilities that would fall within the scope of IAS 37 or IFRIC 21 Levies, if contracted separately. A new paragraph to IFRS 3 clarifies that contingent assets do not qualify as identifiable assets at the acquisition date.

In accordance with the transition rules, the Group applies the amendment prospectively, i.e., to business combinations occurring after the beginning of the fiscal year in which the amendment was first applied (date of initial application). These changes had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements as contingent assets, liabilities, and potential liabilities were not object to these amendments.

Property, plant and equipment: Proceeds before intended Use - Amendment to IAS 16

The amendment prohibits entities from deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any revenue from the sale of products sold in the period in which this activity is brought to the place or conditions necessary for it to be able to operate in the manner for which it was designed by the management. Instead, an entity records the revenues from the sale of these products and the costs of producing these products in the profit and loss statement.

According to the guidelines, the Group applies the amendment retrospectively to the Property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the start date of the period prior to the period in which the entity applies this change for the first time. Such amendments had no impact on the Group's financial statements, as no sales related to these items of property, plant, and equipment were made either before they became operational or after the start of the previous comparative period.

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards – Subsidiary as a first-time adopter

This amendment allows a subsidiary that chooses to apply paragraph D16 (a) of IFRS 1 to account for the accumulated translation differences based on the amounts accounted for by the parent company, considering the date of transition to IFRS by the parent. This amendment also applies to associated companies or joint ventures that choose to apply paragraph D16 (a) of IFRS 1. The amendment will be effective for fiscal years starting January 1st, 2022 onwards and early application is permitted;

This amendment has had no impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements because the Group is not a first-time adopter.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments – Fees in the '10 per cent' test for derecognition of financial liabilities

This amendment clarifies that the fees that an entity includes in the assessment whereas the conditions of a new or modified financial liability are substantially different with respect to the conditions of the original financial liability. These fees include only those paid or received between the debtor and the lender, including fees paid or received by the debtor or lender on behalf of others. There was no proposal for the adoption of a similar amendment for IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement.

In accordance with the guidelines, the Group applies this amendment to financial liabilities that are changed or exchanged after the date of the first financial year in which the entity applies the amendment for the first time. Such amendment had no impact on the Group's financial statements as there have been no changes in the financial liabilities of the Group within the semester.

IAS 41 Agriculture – Taxation in fair value measurements

Amendment to IAS 41 removes the requirements provided for in paragraph 22 of IAS 41 and referring to the exclusion of cash flows for taxes when the fair value of an asset is measured within the scope of IAS 41. The Group had no impact from these changes, since it does not hold any assets within the scope of IAS 41 at the reporting date.

Accounting standards, amendments and IFRS and IFRIC interpretations endorsed by the European Union but not yet mandatorily applicable and not adopted early by the Group as of June 30th, 2023

Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current

in January 2020, the IASB published amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements necessary for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The changes clarify:

what is meant by the right to postpone the deadline;
that the right of postponement must exist at the end of the financial year;
the classification is not impacted by the probability with which the entity will exercise its right of subordination;
the expiry of the liability have no impact on its classification only if an implicit derivative in a convertible liability is itself an equity instrument;

The amendments will be effective for the fiscal years starting January 1st, 2023 onwards and must be applied retrospectively. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the changes will have on the current situation and should it become necessary to renegotiate existing loan agreements;

3. DISCRETIONARY ITEMS AND SIGNIFICANT ESTIMATES

Discretionary judgment

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements as of June 30th, 2023 and the notes attached requires the use of discretionary judgment to make estimates and assumptions with an effect on the carrying amount of assets and liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements and on the disclosures relating to contingent assets and liabilities as at the reporting date. These judgements are made based on short- and medium/long-term forecasts that are continuously updated and approved by the Board of Directors prior to all financial reports approval.

The estimates are based on the current available information. They are periodically reviewed, and the effects are reflected in the profit and loss when needed. The actual results effectively realized may be different, even significantly, from the estimated due to changes in the factors considered. Estimates are used to recognise provisions for doubtful accounts and inventories, depreciation and amortization, equity investments, asset impairment, employee benefits, deferred taxes and other provisions and allowances.

The main sources of uncertainty when making estimates regards the recoverable amount of intangible assets, credit losses, inventory impairment, employee benefits, provisions, revenue adjustments, royalties and deferred tax estimates.

Recoverable amount of equity investments

Equity investments are adjusted for impairment whenever events or a change in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount is no longer recoverable. Events that may trigger an impairment adjustment to an equity investment include changes in the strategic plan and changes in market prices that lead to a poorer expected operational performance and reduce the subsidiaries' capacity to generate dividends. Measurement of the recoverable amount of equity investments is performed using estimates of expected cash flows and appropriate discount rates to calculate present value. Therefore, it is based on a set of hypothetical assumptions relating to future events and actions by the Directors of subsidiaries that may not necessarily occur in the manner and within the timescale forecasted.

Inventories

The Company estimates inventories on a quarterly basis, considering the rapid obsolescence of video games. Impairment adjustments may be recorded in relation to individual products whose market value is lower than their historical cost. In order to make these estimates, the Company uses revenue forecasts, as periodically produced by the sales department. Some differences are identified on a cumulative basis and are recognized in profit and loss in the period.

Employee benefits

The estimate of the employee severances requires an assessment of the future cash outflows that may result from the of employees' voluntary and involuntary departure, in relation to their seniority and the revaluation rates these benefits provided by the Italian Law.

The TFR (employee termination severance) was significantly changed during the year ended on June 30th , 2006. Estimating the liability remains complex because a residual portion of indemnities have remained with the Group companies. The Group makes its estimate with assistance from an actuary to assess the necessary parameters.

Following the approval of the "2016-2026 Stock Option Plan", an actuarial measurement is required in accordance with the guidelines contained in IFRS 2 – Share-based payments. An independent professional actuary has been appointed to perform the assessment.

The assessment of the liabilities arising from the introduction of the new medium-long term incentive plan approved by the Shareholder's Meeting of June 15th , 2021 is relatively easy. The eventual actuarial component of the estimate, or the possibility that the beneficiaries will not receive the incentive for effect of the bad leaver conditions, was considered as not significant. Therefore, the estimate of the resulting liability was made by the directors weren't assisted by an independent actuary.

Deferred tax

The calculation of deferred and anticipated taxes presents two distinct areas of uncertainty. The first pertains to the recoverability of anticipated taxes, and to mitigate this, the Company assesses anticipated taxes recorded against forecasted plans and the rules governing their utilization in future periods. The second area of uncertainty is the determination of the applicable tax rate, which has been assumed to remain constant over time and equal to the current tax rates in use, unless there is confidence that such changes will come into effect.

4. RELATIONSHIPS WITH STARBREEZE

In recent years, Digital Bros Group and Starbreeze Group have entered multiple different transactions, summarized below:

in May 2016, the Group sold back the PAYDAY2 co-publishing rights to Starbreeze against a payment of USD 30 million and an earn-out of USD 40 million as 33% of the net revenues from the future video game PAYDAY3. As of March 31st, 2023, the earn-out was not accounted for and has been considered a contingent asset;
since November 2018, Digital Bros S.p.A. has acquired 6,369,061 Starbreeze STAR A shares, as traded on Nasdaq Stockholm, at an average price of SEK 1.79 per share.

The OVERKILL's The Walking Dead unsuccess created financial problems to Starbreeze, enforcing the company and five subsidiaries to petition the Swedish District Court for admission to a restructuring plan. The Swedish Court approved the restructuring request which was later extended several times until December 3rd, 2019. On December 6th, 2019, Starbreeze successfully completed the restructuring process and presented a payment plan to its creditors.

In January and February 2020, the Group conducted the following transactions:

on January 15th, 2020, Digital Bros S.p.A. acquired 18,969,395 Starbreeze STAR A shares held by Swedish company Varvtre AB for a consideration of around SEK 25.8 million, at a price of SEK 1.36 per share, plus a potential earn-out in case of a gain on disposal realized in the 60 months after the acquisition;
on February 26th, 2020, Digital Bros S.p.A. completed the acquisition of all of the assets held by Smilegate Holdings in Starbreeze for a price of Euro 19.2 million. The assets acquired have a nominal value of Euro 35.3 million, as detailed below:
- a) a convertible bond of approximately SEK 215 million issued by Starbreeze for a total of Euro 16.9 million. The full conversion of the bond would lead to the issue of 131,933,742 new Starbreeze STAR B shares, at the current conversion ratio. The original conversion price of SEK 2.25 per share was recalculated at SEK 1.63 per share following the share capital increase conducted by Starbreeze in September 2020. Should it not be fully or even partially converted, the bond will be repaid based on the terms of payment approved by the Swedish District Court and not later than December 2024;
- b) a receivable of around SEK 165 million for a consideration of Euro 100 thousand. This credit falls under the Starbreeze restructuring process and will be repaid based on the terms of payment approved by the Swedish District Court and not later than December 2024;
- c) 3,601,083 Starbreeze STAR A shares and 6,018,948 Starbreeze STAR B shares for a total amount of Euro 2.2 million.

On June 23rd, 2020, the Group signed a binding agreement for the pro-quota subscription of the share issue finalized in September 2020.

On April 28th, 2023, Starbreeze announced a rights issue of approximately Swedish Kronor ("SEK") 450 million, Digital Bros Group has committed to:

1. underwrite the pro-rata share of the rights issue, corresponding to approximately SEK 54 million;
1. underwrite an incremental commitment for a maximum of SEK 100 million of unsubscribed rights, following the capital increase process;
1. convert the total outstanding convertible loan of approximately SEK 215 million held by Digital Bros in Starbreeze B shares. This process would be carried out within 30 days from the closing of the capital increase process and after receiving the recalculation of the revised conversion price

The Group believes that it does not have significant influence over Starbreeze, considering its governance structure, and despite the ongoing contractual relationships and the stake held in the Swedish company. Consequently, it has chosen to retain its classification as other investments, as it has in previous periods. Adjustments to this classification would be assessed following any substantial changes in the relationship between the two groups.

On July 19th, 2023, the Company requested the full conversion of the convertible bond, into 148.3 million Starbreeze B shares.

All the subsidiaries are 100% owned, except for Rasplata B.V., Ingame Studios a.s. and Seekhana Ltd. which are controlled with a 60% stake and Chrysalide Jeux et Divertissement Inc. with a 75% stake.

The carrying amounts of Digital Bros Game Academy, Game Network S.r.l., and Seekhana Ltd. are displayed net of the impairment provision which amounts to Euro 247 thousand, Euro 50 thousand, and Euro 242 thousand, respectively, in order to reflect their recoverable value.

At the end of the fiscal year, the Company conducted an impairment test on significant investments and on all investments that had a net asset value lower than the carrying amount, as of June 30th, 2023. For these investments, the carrying value was compared to the recoverable value.

As of June 30th, 2023, for the valuation of the investments, the expected cash flows and revenues are based on the Business Plan 2024-2028, approved by the Board of Directors on July 3rd, 2023. The growth rate "g" is set at 1.0%. The discount rate has been calculated using the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), which consists of weighting the expected rate of return on invested capital net of the costs of funding from a sample of companies within the same sector. The discount rates used for the impairment test on the investments, segmented by geographical area, are as follows.

	Italy	Netherlands	UK	Czech Republic	Sweden
Wacc post tax	11.91%	10.51%	11.46%	12.41%	10.15%

Any reasonably possible changes to the relevant assumptions used for the determination of recoverable value mentioned above (variations in the growth rate of +/-0.5% and variations in the discount rate of +/-0.5%) would not lead to significantly different results.

Such impairments tests required the Company to perform partial impairment on the investment in Digital Bros Game Academy S.r.l. for Euro 247 thousand and in Seekhana Ltd for Euro 28 thousand.

Changes to other equity investments result from:

Euro 2,665 thousand and Euro increase relating to the fair value of the 113,224,145 Starbreeze A shares (listed on Nasdaq Stockholm), with allocation to an equity reserve of the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value as of June 30th, 2023;
Euro 1,464 thousand increase relating to the fair value of the 45,632,269 Starbreeze B shares (listed on Nasdaq Stockholm), with allocation to an equity reserve of the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value as of June 30th, 2023 , since they are financial instruments classified in the comprehensive profit and loss statement;
Euro 240 thousand decrease relating to the fair value of the 70,000 Noobz from Poland s.a. shares (listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange New Comet segment) – corresponding to the 4.5% of the share capital - with allocation to an equity reserve of the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value as of June 30th, 2023.

NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES

19. Employee benefits

Employee benefits reflected the actuarial value at the closing date of the Group's liability to employees, as calculated by an independent actuary. It increased by Euro 7 thousand compared to the prior fiscal year.

The IAS 19 actuarial measurement as of June 30th, 2023 was performed using a discount rate based on the Iboxx Corporate A 10y+ index, in line with the rate used at the previous reporting date. The use of a discount rate based on the Iboxx Corporate AA index would not create a significant difference.

The calculation method can be summarized as follows:

for each employee on the payroll, projection of the termination indemnity already provided for at December 31st, 2006 and revalued as of the measurement date;
calculation for each employee of the probable termination indemnity that the Company will have to pay in the event of the employee's dismissal, resignation, disability, death or retirement and in the event of requests for advances;
discounting of each probable payment to net present value.

The estimate is based on Digital Bros S.p.A.'s reporting date headcount of 39 employees.

The economic and financial parameters used in the actuarial calculation as of June 30th, 2022 were as follows:

annual interest rate of 3.60%;
annual increase in remuneration rate of 3.225%;
annual inflation rate of 2.30%.

The economic and financial parameters used in the actuarial calculation as of June 30th, 2022 were as follows:

8. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (IFRS 7)

The main financial instruments used by the Company are:

Bank overdrafts;
Sight and short-term bank deposits;
Import financing;
Export financing;
Commercial credit lines (advances on notes and factoring);
Finance leases.

The objective of these instruments is to finance the Company's operating activities.

The credit facilities available to the Company, together with utilization as of June 30th, 2023, are detailed below:

Euro thousands	Facility	Utilized	Headroom
Bank current account overdrafts	1,200	984	216
Import finance	7,250	7,182	68
Advances on invoices and notes	4,250	0	4,250
Factoring	1,000	11	989
Medium-term financing	1,720	1,720	0
Total	15,420	9,897	5.523

The Company seeks to maintain a balance between short-term and medium/long-term financial instruments. The Company's core business i.e. the marketing of video games, mainly involves investment in net working capital which is funded through short-term lines of credit. Long-term investments are normally financed through medium/long-term lines of credit, often dedicated to the individual investment, sometimes in the form of finance leases.

Given the above, medium- and long-term financial payables have a well-distributed range of maturities.

The main risks generated by the Company's financial instruments are:

interest rate risk;
liquidity risk.

Interest rate risk

The risk of interest rate increases is an effective risk for short-term financial instruments because the Group cannot immediately pass on any interest rate rises by increasing its selling prices.

This risk is mitigated by the Company overall low level of debt and by the adoption of a short-term cash flowing procedure. The Group has subscribed three option contracts for a notional value of Euro 1,375 thousand, Euro 4,000 thousand and Euro 15,000 thousand to hedge interest rates changes on the loans granted by UniCredit S.p.A. to the Parent Company and to 505 Games S.p.A on January 28th, 2021, and on September 30th, 2021 to 505 Games S.p.A..

Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk relates to problems in accessing the credit market.

The mitigating factors that can reduce this risk are:

cash flows, financing requirements and liquidity requirements are monitored centrally by the Group Treasury with the aim of ensuring effective and efficient management of financial resources and guaranteeing an appropriate level of available liquidity;
the Group's level of capitalisation means it only has to use leverage to a marginal extent.

Exchange rate risk

The company holds a significant stake in the publicly traded Swedish company, Starbreeze. The stock prices have historically been extremely volatile and are denominated in SEK (Swedish Krones).As a result of the investment in Starbreeze shares, the Company is exposed to fluctuations in the Euro/Swedish Krones exchange rate.

The following table shows the Group's financial obligations by contractual maturity, in the worst-case scenario and using undiscounted amounts, considering the earliest date by which the Group could be asked for payment and providing the number of the relevant note.

Total	7,553	2,758	2,346	929	595	603	322	7.553

The Group has sufficient financial resources to satisfy its debt maturing within one year. These financial resources include cash and cash equivalents, unutilised credit facilities totalling around Euro 5,5 million at the reporting date and cash flows from operating activities.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities and calculation models used

The table below presents the fair value of assets and liabilities based on the calculation methods and models used.

Financial assets whose fair value cannot be reasonably determined have not been included.

The fair value of bank borrowing has been calculated based on the interest rate curve at the reporting date, without making assumptions as to the credit spread.

The fair value of financial instruments listed on an active market is based on reporting date market prices. The market prices used are bid/ask prices depending on the asset/liability held. The fair value of unlisted financial instruments and derivatives is determined using the valuation models and techniques most prevalent on the market, using inputs observable on the market.

Fair value has not been calculated for trade receivables and trade payables as their carrying amount approximates fair value.

For finance lease payables and payables to other lenders, we believe there is no significant difference between fair value and carrying amount.

Euro thousand	Carrying amount as of June 30th,2023	Mark to Market	Mark to Model	Totale Fair value	Notes
		Fair Value	Fair Value

Non-current financial assets	18,337	18,337	-	18,337	7

Non-current financial liabilities	4,795	4,795	-	4,795	22
Current financial liabilities	2,758	2,758	-	2,758	28

Exchange rate risk: sensitivity analysis

A sensitivity analysis has been performed in accordance with IFRS 7. It applies to all financial instruments reported in the financial statements.

As a result of the investment in Starbreeze shares, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in the Euro/Swedish Krone exchange rate. A 10% increase/decrease in the exchange rate would have an impact on profit before taxes of approximately 2 million Euros.

Fair Value hierarchy

IFRS 7 requires financial instruments recognised at fair value to be classified in a hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used to measure fair value. The levels are as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable in the market;
Level 3: inputs not based on observable market data.

The Company uses various measurement and valuation models to determine the fair value of financial instruments. The following table contains a summary of such financial instruments as of June 30th, 2023 and June 30th, 2022:

Carrying amount as of June 30th, 20223	Instrument	Level 1	Level 2	Level 3	Total	Notes
