Q and A submitted before webinar (1)

1) What is the status for HansaMatrix subsidiary Zinatnes parks project? When it is planned to be built and put into operation?

The construction project has received final approval in the construction authority in February, 2021. HansaMatrix investment priorities are related to technology development, therefore for Zinatnes parks project the next step is to attract real estate investor and/or anchor tenant and then to co-develop or divest the project in next 3 years.

2) How do you assess the development of Lightspace Technologies? When will it be able to generate the first revenue (sell the products)?

2022 Q1 according to business plan.

Q and A submitted before webinar (2)

3) What have been the main and most significant recent developments related to Lightspace Technologies?

New product development and launch of several prototype revisions.

4) What are the main issues that bring down profitability – is it related to lower sales and increasing weight of fixed costs?

Profitability in 2020 Q4 is influenced by the global component shortage issue and the respective supply lag, as well as by the increased fixed cost proportion due to the decreased revenue influenced by COVID-19 situation, EIB loan provisions, and losses from associates.

Q and A submitted before webinar (3)

5) What are the main reasons behind logistics problems? Is supply beginning to grow (regarding transport)?

Capacity is still issue, e.g. air freight transport capacity still decreased due to decreased passenger travel (significant par of air cargo usually flies in the bellies of passenger flights). Capacity decrease in air freight most likely has increased demand for sea freight influencing capacity due to availability of containers.

6) Please elaborate more what kind of problems face clients with decreasing orders? Which sectors?

Mostly industrial sector, IoT and also other product sector. Examples: a) Industrial sector customer with global sales in energy sector facing significant temporary demand decrease for the product that needs on field installation and training b) Industrial sector customer facing decreasing demand in typography equipment due to sharp decrease in printed material circulation c) IoT sector client facing decrease in coffee vending machine demand for installation in public places

Q and A submitted before webinar (4)

7) How big were extra costs related to covid-19?

The key component of these costs is estimated 20% top and middle management time spent on COVID-19 related issues – impact reporting, personell safety organizational issues, supply chain issue management, etc.

8) When do you expect electronic component supply to improve?

Expected to improve in 2021 Q3-4 as supply matches the increased demand in some sectors (data networks and medicine).
