Overview of development and results
Huddly opened the first quarter of the year with a record quarterly revenue of NOK 114 million. During Q1, Huddly L1, a networked state-of-the-art camera for large sized meeting rooms, received two design awards in the quarter: The Design and Architecture Norway - DOGA Award, and the international iF design award. The first quarter represented a major step towards creating customer value through launching new software products, with the introduction of Huddly Speaker Framing, Huddly's built-in AI director which switches between different type of shots, incorporating listener reactions and contextual cues, with deployment date expected in Q4 2022. Alexander Woxen started in the position as CEO 1st of February 2022.
Huddly continued its growth momentum in Q2, delivering revenue of NOK 107 million, which is a growth of 67% year on year. Huddly strengthened its leading hardware platform further with the introduction of Huddly S1, an intelligent networked camera for small to medium meeting rooms, in the second quarter. Ragnar Kjos started as CFO of the company on April 1, 2022.
The third quarter was yet a record revenue quarter, concluding at NOK 118 million, which was a growth of 34% compared to the same quarter last year. At the end of the third quarter, Speaker Framing was launched to the market.

The fourth quarter concluded at NOK 113 million in revenue, which was a 12% growth year on year. During the quarter Huddly demonstrated its innovative capabilities with the launch of the world's first multi-camera system, Huddly Crew, with a built in AI director that brings the expertise of TV and movie production to the video collaboration space. Huddly Crew holds the potential to be a gamechanger for the industry. The Introduction generated significant interest among both SMEs and large enterprises. Launching in the second quarter 2023, the solution will first be made available on Huddly L1. Further, the company took a step forward in the fourth quarter by establishing a higher price point for the L1 camera in a bundle solution with the shipping of the innovative AI 'Speaker Framing' software.

Financial risk factors
Huddly is mainly exposed to the following risks: market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The company holds no material debt. The company holds bank deposits mainly in the following currencies: NOK, USD, PLN. The main exposure to foreign currency is derived from accounts payable and accounts receivable in connection with the sale and purchase of goods in foreign currency, in addition to other operating expenses denominated in a foreign currency, such as foreign payroll and services. Finally, the exposure relates to foreign indirect tax receivables exposure.
The Company does not normally use contracts to hedge the foreign exchange exposure. The exposure is largely hedged through receipts and debts being denominated, directly or indirectly, in the same currency (a "natural hedge").
Huddly's credit risk is related to the sale of goods and services on credit. Huddly monitors the outstanding amounts and follow up closely with its strategic and channel partners should amounts become overdue.
Huddly manages liquidity risk by monitoring that the expected future cash from operations and available cash and are adequate to serve the operational and financial obligations. This is done by preparing cash flow forecasts on a 12 month forward rolling basis, and detailed by weekly cash monitoring, based on different sales and cost scenarios. Capital tied up is supervised, focusing on inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
Huddly's liquidity strategy is to secure sufficient cash, cash equivalents and credit facilities available at any time to finance the operations and investments for the next 12 months.
Excess liquidity sits on Huddly's bank accounts. Huddly holds no credit facilities as of 31 December 2022.
Huddly holds no loan agreements against financial institutions and has no covenants.
The Board's objective is to maintain a healthy capital base to retain the trust of shareholders, creditors, customers, suppliers, and the market to continually develop the company. The Board continuously monitor the capital structure and make appropriate actions when deemed necessary. The ultimate objective of the Board is to ensure Huddly's shareholders over time will gain a competitive return on their investment.
Refer to note 21 for a detailed presentation of risk factors.
Research and development
The Company has in 2022 received a grant from Skattefunn through The Research Council of Norway. The direct research and development costs are capitalized and amortized over three years.
Workplace culture
The Board believes the workplace culture is satisfactory. There have been no accidents or injuries in 2022. The company had a total of 461 days of parental leave during 2022 In Norway, which was split by 225 days of maternity leave and 236 days of paternity leave. The company had a sick leave percentage of 3.3%. The Employee Sounding Board has worked closely with the Administration during the year and the dialogue has been constructive and positive.
Gender and equal opportunity
Huddly has 133 employees as of year-end 2022, 103 men and 30 women, and the Board is composed of four men.
Huddly strives to have a diverse workforce with employees across the world, focusing on diversity and inclusion. Our employee bases consist of approximately 20 different nationalities, different level of education from PhD to self-taught.
Through our values; innovative, quality oriented and collaborative we encourage everyone to be creative and curios, have integrity in all aspects of their day-to-day work (what we say is what we do) and be collaborative. We encourage thinking outside of the box and give room for being different, all voices should be heard in any process.
Our value system is our true north star, strategy and goals change – values persist through forming a unity between colleagues, leaders, shareholders, suppliers, partners and customers. We hold ourselves accountable and will use them when hiring and as a mirror of our daily practice and when making decision.
The value of our diversity and different backgrounds increases the quality of our thinking, and as individuals we are committed to be inclusive, supportive and care for each other – we work better when working together.
As many tech companies we have a challenge when closing the gap between male and female employees – through our People and Culture we work on how to close this gap working putting it on the agenda with our Employee sounding board and management team - gender and background should never be a hindrance for internal and external applicants, being part of the management team or taking on new challenges within the company.
The Board promotes equal opportunity, has reviewed the number of employees and positions, and found no cause to develop additional programs to address equal opportunity.

Events after the balance sheet date
In January 2023 Graham Spencer Williams took over as CEO for Huddly and replaced Alexander Woxen who resigned. At the same time, Mr. Williams stepped down as Chairman and was replaced by Jostein Devold. Further, Ragnar Kjos resigned as CFO for the company in January.

Auditors
Huddly has appointed PwC as Huddly's auditors for the financial year 2022.
Outlook 2023
The long-term market outlook for collaborative video solutions remains strong. The company nevertheless recognizes that a weaker investment sentiment with inflationary pressures and higher interest rates creates a more uncertain near-term market outlook.
Indirect supply issues and the normalization of supply chains are expected to affect shipment volumes for Huddly's products in 2023, and the Board has decided not to provide any revenue guidance for 2023 until further notice as the management team and Board is working together to get a better overview.
Adapting to the market outlook, the Board and management will focus on Technology, Revenue, Gross Margin and Profitability.
Huddly will continue to lead with technology innovation as demonstrated with the launch of 'Huddly Crew', expand its Strategic Partner model and build the Channels business, and manage costs to address near-term challenges without jeopardizing long-term opportunities. This is expected to establish a solid platform for future profitable growth.

2. General accounting principles
The general accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. Specific accounting principles are described in the relevant notes.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements of Huddly are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU), and additional disclosure requirements in the Norwegian Accounting Act as effective of 31 December 2022.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK), which corresponds to the functional currency of the Parent Company of Huddly Group and have been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated. As a result of rounding adjustments, amounts and percentages may not add up to the total.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
Foreign currency translation
For consolidation purposes, all subsidiaries with a different functional currency than the parent company (NOK) are translated at the rate applicable at the reporting date. The statement of profit or loss is translated at the average exchange rate that approximates the prevailing rate at the date of transaction. The cumulative foreign exchange rate difference is recycled to profit or loss when there is a disposal or sale of the net investment.
Monetary balances in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates on the date of the balance sheet. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions, and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in profit or loss.
Principles of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Huddly Group consists of Huddly AS, as parent company, and Huddly Inc. as subsidiary. The following presents the accounting principles in Huddly Group for recognizing subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset. Figures from subsidiaries with different accounting policies are amended to ensure consistent accounting policies for the Group.
If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it derecognizes the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interest, and reclassifies to profit or loss, or transfers directly to retained earnings as appropriate, the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income/(loss) in relation to the subsidiary.
Classification of assets and liabilities
An asset is classified as current when it is expected to be realized or sold, or to be used in the Group's normal operating cycle or falls due or is expected to be realized within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Other assets are classified as non-current assets. Liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle of the Group or are expected to be settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, or if the Group does not have an unconditional right to postpone settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Segments
An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. The Group has determined that the Management team are the chief operating decision maker.
The segment information is reported in accordance with the reporting to the Management team (the chief operating decision makers) and is consistent with financial information used for assessing performance and supporting the Group's direction and strategy, resource allocation and acquisition activities. The Group has identified one segment. The Group is monitored at consolidated income statement, balance sheet and cash flow.
Use of judgements and estimates
Estimates and assumptions
Management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and information on potential liabilities. Future events may lead to these estimates being changed. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements
Management has, when preparing the financial statements, made certain significant assessments based on critical judgment when it comes to application of the accounting principles.
Material exercise of judgment and estimates relate to the following matters:
● Consignation Inventory, note 14
3. Revenue
Accounting principles
Revenue
The Group has revenue from sale of various types of cameras to be used in meeting rooms.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred as well as risk and control, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Currently all revenue is recognized at a point in time.
The Group accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances and as there are no historical history the Group has taken a conservative estimate until such history is established. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in revenue, with the associated costs included in cost of sales. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, estimated returns, rebates, and discounts and after eliminated sales within the Group.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and trading terms range from 30 to 45 days and therefore classified as current.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Group has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers goods to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Group fulfils the performance obligations under the contract. Normally, The Group invoices at the time of revenue recognition, thus contract liabilities are rarely recognized.
The Group does not have any costs to obtain or fulfill contracts that are recognized as an asset.
Revenue from customers
In the following table, revenue is disaggregated by customer segment, as defined by the Management.

Accounting principles
The tax expense/(Income) for the period comprises current tax and changes in deferred tax. Tax expense is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax expense is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.
Deferred tax assets are calculated with the nominal corporate tax rate in all local group countries and consolidated at group level. At balance sheet date, the recognition criteria in IAS 12 were not met for Huddly AS or Huddly Inc.
Carried forward tax losses in the US amount to 67 MNOK and Norway amount to 94 MNOK at 31 December 2022. There is no expiration date of carried forward losses any in either the US or Norway. The tax loss in the US is

7. Share-based payment
Accounting policies
Equity-settled, share-based payments are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of nonmarket-based vesting conditions) at the grant date. The vesting period is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. The fair value is expensed over the vesting period as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity.
The fair value at the grant date is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model, which takes into account the exercise price, the life of the option, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the share price, any dividends expected on the shares and the risk-free interest rate for the life of the option. The expected share price volatility is based on historical volatility for a selection of comparable listed companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on zero-coupon government bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the option being valued.
Social security contributions payable in connection with an option grant are considered an integral part of the grant itself. The charges are treated as cash-settled, share-based payments and measured at fair value each reporting date. The fair value measurement for the social security liability per option is based on the reporting period ending share price less the strike price. As at 31 December 2022, the Group had accrued 3,841 TNOK (18,057 TNOK at 31 December 2021) in social security contributions on share-based payments.
All vested and partially vested options that are in-the-money are included in the fair value measurement of the social security liability. The remeasurement change is recognized as an expense in profit or loss and as an adjustment to the social security liability in the statement of financial position.
When the options are exercised, the appropriate number of shares are transferred to the employee. The proceeds received from the exercise of the options (net of any directly attributable transaction costs) are credited directly to equity.
Descriptions
Synthetic options
The Group had per 01 January 2021 2,362,333 outstanding synthetic options. Each synthetic option gave the owner the right to receive a one-time payment up to the value of one share in the company in a change of control event, deducted by exercise price per share. A change of control event was defined as a sale of more than 50% of the ordinary shares in Huddly AS to a single buyer or two or more buyers acting in concert, over a continuous period of 12 months.
As the Group considers a change of control event as highly unlikely, no expenses or corresponding liability has been recognized for the synthetic option program.
In February 2021 the board offered existing employees to convert synthetic options to options under the 2021 incentive plan under certain criteria and this plan was closed for new grants.
As outlined in the stock exchange announcement dated 21 May 2021, Huddly AS was sued by a group of former employees for compensation based on certain synthetic options. The Group reached a settlement with the group as set out in the stock exchange notice 7 December 2021.
The settlement totals TNOK 75,000 plus social security tax and a total expense of TNOK 80,994 was initially recognized as Employee benefit expense and Other operating expense in 2021.
The first installment of TNOK 25,000 was paid in December 2021. Employee benefit expenses in 2021 includes accrued social security tax of TNOK 1,878 related to the first installment. Total expensed for the second and third installment is TNOK 26,487 and TNOK 25,897 respectively, based on NPV calculation which is discounted with a risk-free interest rate of 3 %. Other operating expenses include legal expenses of TNOK 1,731 directly related to this case. Total expense recognized on settlement was TNOK 80,994 in 2021.
After the settlement there has been no changes to the synthetic option program which at 31 December 2022 has 5 prior employees participating.
There were no changes in synthetic options in 2022.

| Options vested, closing balance 31.12 | 5,871,111 | 5,871,111 |
The weighted average strike price for Synthetic option program on options granted and vested was 0.95 in 2022 and 2021.
Employee options
As at 31 December 2022 the Group's only active share granting incentive program is the 2021 incentive plan implemented in January 2021, directed at employees and directors. As described above, existing employees were offered to convert synthetic options to options under the 2021 incentive plan under certain criteria. Participants are granted options to subscribe for shares in the company based on a pre-determined strike price.
The amendment of the synthetic option plan to the 2021 incentive plan is reflected in 2021 through a significant recognition of share-based payment expenses related to replacement options already vested at the amendment date.
The 2021 options are as a general rule subject to a three-year vesting schedule. Further, the options may only be exercised in a coordinated process led by the company's board. This implies that the participant may only exercise a number of options each year equal to 20% of its total number of options.
For new grants in 2022, the exercise price per Share equals the average end of month price per ordinary share in the Group for the first six months of 2022, for options granted between 01.07.2022 and 31.12.2022, the exercise price per Share equal to the average end of month price per ordinary share in the Group for the last six months of 2022.
New grants in 2022 have an exercise price varying between NOK 4,85 and NOK 10,68 with a weighted average of NOK 8,68. The weighted exercise price for all outstanding options regardless of option plan is NOK 3,77.
Some Award Agreements state that if an employee leaves after a given time, the strike price would increase from their original strike price to NOK 7.81 (given that the original strike price is below this threshold). This reduces the calculated fair value of the options.
As of 31 December, there are 130 employees and 4 directors participating in the 2021 incentive plan.
In 2022, The Group provided an extraordinary grant to key employees and management, which have a vesting period of between 3 and 5 years. Vesting criteria for grants to key employees and Management are not subject to any certain performance criteria.
The Group has historically issued a limited number of options to employees and directors under the 2017 Incentive Plan. These options are subject to a three-year vesting schedule. The outstanding options under the 2017 Incentive plan were granted in 2018, and will expire in 2023. Exercise price is NOK 0.000625 per share. As of 31 December, there are 7 employees participating in the 2017 incentive plan and the plan is closed for new grants.
Fair value of the equity instruments is measured at grant date and recognized over the vesting period, for both incentive plans. All equity instruments expire after five years from grant date. Share-based payments included in salary costs are TNOK 24,399 and TNOK 261,891 (exclusive of accrued social security cost on option based payments), in 2022 and 2021 respectively.

9. Earnings per share
Accounting principles
The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shares, using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year after the deduction of the average number of treasury shares held over the period.
The potential dilutive shares are not treated as dilutive in the diluted earnings per share calculation, as the conversion of these shares would decrease the loss per share of the Company.
Description
The calculations of earnings per share attributable to the ordinary equity holders of Huddly Group are based on the following net profit/(loss) and share data:
| 2022 | 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Basic earnings per share | (0.20) | (1.52) |
| Diluted earnings per share | (0.20) | (1.52) |

| Weighted average number of shares used as the denominator in calculating basic earnings per share |
211,469,319 | 212,933,435 |
| Weighted average number of shares outstanding for diluted earnings per share |
211,469,319 | 212,933,435 |
10. Intangible assets
Accounting principles
Costs to develop the Group's products that are incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized if significant, when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the entity, and when the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost and amortized using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life.
Capitalized development costs include costs directly attributable to development of the intangible, such as personnel expenses and consultancy services. Otherwise, such expenses are expensed as and when incurred.
Judgment is required in evaluating whether subsequent development expenditure is to be capitalized as an internally generated intangible asset or expensed as incurred. The key element of judgment is whether the development project will generate incremental probable future economic benefit in form of a new product, or not.
Descriptions
Amortization method
Capitalized development cost was TNOK 73,779 and TNOK 53,374 in 2022 and 2021 respectively. The Group estimates the economic life to be 5 years.

11. Tangible assets
Accounting principles
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets' expected useful life and adjusted for any impairment charges. Ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in operating profit. Major assets with different expected useful lives are reported as separate components.
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The difference between the asset's carrying amount and its recoverable amount is recognized in the income statement as an impairment loss. Property, plant and equipment that have suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

12. Leases
Accounting principles
The Group has recognized right of use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months and where the underlying asset has a value of more than NOK 50 thousand.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
- variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
- amounts expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the group exercising that option.
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
The Group is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
- any initial direct costs, and
- restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the group is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
The Group's leased assets include offices. The Group's right-of-use assets are categorized and presented in the table below.

The Group has no other lease agreements recognized under IFRS 16.
For the year ended 31 December 2021 additions of TNOK 15,188 were related to the same office premises in Oslo and was effective as of 1st December 2021.
The Groups leased office space includes no right of renewal which could be exercised during the last periods of the lease term and no assessment was made on potential future lease payments as at commencement date in 2022 and 2021.
In 2022, a new office lease agreement was signed on Stortorvet 7, 0155 Oslo, commencing 1 July 2023. The lease period is 6 years. Huddly Group as a lessee, initially measures right of use asset and lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. This is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee. As at 31 December 2022, the underlying asset was not yet made ready, and as such, no recognition was made with regards to the new office lease agreement. The Group's potential future nominal lease payments not included in lease liabilities related to new office lease agreement not yet made ready is 16 MNOK per annum as at year end December 2022.
13. Other non-current receivables
Accounting principles
The Group initially recognizes other non-current receivables at fair value, and subsequently measures it at amortized cost. Interest income on the receivable is recognized as other financial income.
Descriptions
The group has as of 31 December 2022 other non-current receivables of in total TNOK 19,000 (TNOK 10,000 as of 31 December 2021).
The amount consists of receivables with third parties. The receivables are reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis based on the 3-stage expected credit loss model. There have been no impairments of other non-current receivables as of 31. December 2022.
14. Inventories
Accounting principles
Inventory is valued at the lower of historical cost and net realizable value. The historical cost is calculated in accordance with the first in, first out principle. Historical cost of inventories includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of conversion includes costs directly related to the units of production, as well as fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the operating activities less estimated costs that are necessary to make a sale. Selling costs includes cost of logistic (warehouse, customs, freight etc.). Goods in transit are recognized at their historical cost.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories shall be recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized.
Descriptions
| Amounts in NOK 1,000 | 2022 | 2021 | 1/1/2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Components | 14,887 | 15,728 | 3,238 |
| Consignation inventories | 117,864 | 56,043 | 41,141 |
| Net financial items | 132,752 | 71,771 | 44,378 |
The Group buys finished goods from contractual manufacturers which purchase components and produce finished goods. Normally the Group purchases finished goods for direct sale, but some goods and components are purchased for strategic reasons and presented as components.
During the production of finished goods, there are raw materials and components in the physical possession of the contractual manufacturers, that cannot be used for any other purpose than producing Huddly products. Management has assessed whether the Group controls these raw materials, and using significant judgement management concluded that these raw materials are a present economic resource controlled by the Group based on the economic and contractual relationships between the Group and their production supplies. These raw materials are therefor recognized in the statement of financial position as consignation inventories with corresponding consignation liabilities.
Consignation inventories arise from a reassessment of the accounting treatment of the ultimate ownership of risk related to the manufacturers' inventory according to IFRS. Any and all assessments related to the contractual rights and obligations to the inventory remain unchanged. Both the asset and the corresponding consignation liability will be reduced upon purchase of a finalized product. As such, the cash outflow will first occur once the finalized product is purchased.
15. Trade receivables and other receivables
Accounting principles
Trade receivables are initially measured at fair value. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and trading terms range from 30 to 45 days and therefore classified as current.
Trade receivables and other receivables are reflected in the balance sheet at nominal value less provision for estimated losses.
Loss allowance and risk exposure
The Group applies the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.
The expected loss rates are based on payments profiles, customer contracts in the previous years and historical losses.
Receivables are grouped into categories and the expected loss rates reflect the Group's ability to collect once receivables are overdue.

Any and all assessments related to the contractual rights and obligations to the inventory remain unchanged. Both the liability and the corresponding consignation inventory will be reduced upon purchase of a finalized product. As such, the cash outflow will first occur once the finalized product is purchased.

21. Financial Risk and Capital Management
Huddly Group's financial risk and capital management is predominantly controlled by the finance and strategy department.
Huddly Group is mainly exposed to the following risks: Market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Huddly Group has no interest-bearing debt and is not actively engaged in hedging of financial risk. Excess liquidity is invested in bank deposits. Huddly Group operates with several currencies, whereof the main currencies are NOK, USD and PLN. There is no active exchange rate risk hedging. Focus is on securing operational funding, and currency exchanges are conducted when liquidity in a certain currency is needed. In general, cash in foreign currencies are exchanged to NOK on a regular basis when deemed beneficial, meaning that Huddly Group's cash deposits mainly consist of NOK amounts.
| Risk | Exposure arising from | Measurement | Management |
|---|---|---|---|
| Market risk – foreign exchange |
Future commercial transactions; Recognized financial assets and liabilities not denominated in NOK |
Cash flow forecasting; Sensitivity analysis |
Continuous assessment of whether to engage in forwards and/or options hedging of FX |
| Credit risk | Trade receivables; Cash and cash equivalents |
Aging analysis, credit ratings; Rolling cash flow forecasts |
Credit assessment, regular following up of the outstanding balances |
| Liquidity risk | Other liabilities | Rolling cash flow forecasts; sensitivity analysis |
Continuous monitoring of liquidity and assessment of potential need for debt facilities |
Market risk - foreign exchange
Huddly Group holds no material debt. Huddly Group holds bank deposits mainly in the following currencies: NOK, USD, PLN. The main exposure to foreign currency is derived from accounts payable and accounts receivable in connection with the sale and purchase of goods in foreign currency, in addition to other operating expenses denominated in a foreign currency, such as foreign payroll and services. Finally, the exposure relates to foreign indirect tax receivables exposure.
Huddly Group does not normally use contracts to hedge the foreign exchange exposure. The exposure is largely hedged through receipts and debts being denominated, directly or indirectly, in the same currency (a "natural hedge").
Pre-tax effect from a 10% change of exchange rate per year end
| Sensitivity currency exposure | 2022 | 2021 |
|---|---|---|
| NOK depreciated 10% against USD | 8,825 | 8,872 |
| NOK depreciated 10% against PLN | 3,411 | 1,809 |
Credit risk
Huddly Group's credit risk is related to the sale of goods and services on credit.
Huddly Group monitors the outstanding amounts and follow up closely with its customers should amounts become overdue.
Per 31.12.2022 Huddly Group had TNOK 72,092 in outstanding accounts receivables, of which TNOK 6,503 were more than 30 days overdue. Traditionally, overdue amounts are paid in full and Huddly Group has historically had a low rate of loss on receivables. Huddly Group had no expenses on bad debt during 2022, and the provision for bad debt did not materially change during 2022.

| Cash | 183,077 | 337,276 |
| Net interest-bearing debt | 183,077 | 337,276 |
Liquidity risk
Huddly Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring that the expected future cash from operations and available cash and are adequate to serve the operational and financial obligations. This is done by preparing cash flow forecasts on a 12 month forward rolling basis, and detailed by weekly cash monitoring, based on different sales and cost scenarios. Capital tied up is supervised, focusing on inventory, accounts receivable, and accounts payable.
Huddly Group's liquidity strategy is to secure sufficient cash, cash equivalents and credit facilities available at any time to finance the operations and investments for the next 12 months.
Excess liquidity sits on Huddly Group's bank accounts. Huddly Group holds no credit facilities as of 31 December 2022.
Huddly Group holds no loan agreements against financial institutions and has no covenants.

Notes to the reconciliation of changes from Simplified IFRS to IFRS:
- 1) Employee benefit expenses and other operating expenses increase due to lower capitalization, while amortization decreases due to increased useful life of intangible assets.
- 2) No recognition of deferred tax asset due to stricter requirements with regards to recognition of tax assets under IFRS.
- 3) Other receivables increased due to reclassification of inventory from a reassessment of the classification of financial assets previously recognized as inventory, and recognition of other current receivables.
- 4) Introduction of a new asset and corresponding liability arising from a reassessment of the accounting treatment of the ultimate ownership of risk related to the manufacturers' inventory. Any and all assessments related to the contractual rights and obligations to the inventory remain unchanged. Both the asset and the liability will be reduced upon purchase of a finalized product. As such, the cash outflow will first occur once the finalized product is purchased.

An asset is classified as current when it is expected to be realized or sold, or to be used in the Company's normal operating cycle or falls due or is expected to be realized within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Other assets are classified as non-current assets. Liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle of the Company or are expected to be settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, or if the Company does not have an unconditional right to postpone settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Use of judgements and estimates
Estimates and assumptions
Management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and information on potential liabilities. Future events may lead to these estimates being changed. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on historical experience and other factors. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Judgements
Management has, when preparing the financial statements, made certain significant assessments based on critical judgment when it comes to application of the accounting principles.

● Consignation Inventory, note 14
3. Revenue
Accounting principles
Revenue
The Company has revenue from sale of various types of cameras to be used in meeting rooms.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred as well as risk and control, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Currently all revenue is recognized at a point in time.
The Company accrues for warranty costs, sales returns, and other allowances and as there are no historical history the Company has taken a conservative estimate until such history is established. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in revenue, with the associated costs included in cost of sales. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, estimated returns, rebates, and discounts and after eliminated sales within the Company.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are initially recognized at fair value. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and trading terms range from 30 to 45 days and therefore classified as current.
Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods to a customer for which the Company has received consideration (or an amount of consideration is due) from the customer. If a customer pays consideration before the Company transfers goods to the customer, a contract liability is recognized when the payment is made. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company fulfils the performance obligations under the contract. Normally, The Company invoices at the time of revenue recognition, thus contract liabilities are rarely recognized.
The Company does not have any costs to obtain or fulfil contracts that are recognized as an asset.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the local financial statements. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities.

7. Share-based payment
Accounting policies
Equity-settled, share-based payments are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of nonmarket-based vesting conditions) at the grant date. The vesting period is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. The fair value is expensed over the vesting period as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity.
The fair value at the grant date is determined using the Monte Carlo simulation option pricing model, which takes into account the exercise price, the life of the option, the current price of the underlying shares, the expected volatility of the share price, any dividends expected on the shares and the risk-free interest rate for the life of the option. The expected share price volatility is based on historical volatility for a selection of comparable listed companies. The risk-free interest rate is based on zero-coupon government bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the option being valued.
Social security contributions payable in connection with an option grant are considered an integral part of the grant itself. The charges are treated as cash-settled, share-based payments and measured at fair value each reporting date. The fair value measurement for the social security liability per option is based on the reporting period ending share price less the strike price. As at 31 December 2022, the Company had accrued 3,841 TNOK (18,057 TNOK as at 31 December 2021) in social security contributions on share-based payments.
All vested and partially vested options that are in-the-money are included in the fair value measurement of the social security liability. The remeasurement change is recognized as an expense in profit or loss and as an adjustment to the social security liability in the statement of financial position.
When the options are exercised, the appropriate number of shares are transferred to the employee. The proceeds received from the exercise of the options (net of any directly attributable transaction costs) are credited directly to equity.
Descriptions
Synthetic options
The Company had per 01 January 2021 2,362,333 outstanding synthetic options. Each synthetic option gave the owner the right to receive a one-time payment up to the value of one share in the company in a change of control event, deducted by exercise price per share. A change of control event was defined as a sale of more than 50% of the ordinary shares in Huddly AS to a single buyer or two or more buyers acting in concert, over a continuous period of 12 months.
As the Company considers a change of control event as highly unlikely, no expenses or corresponding liability has been recognized for the synthetic option program.
In February 2021 the board offered existing employees to convert synthetic options to options under the 2021 incentive plan under certain criteria and this plan was closed for new grants.
As outlined in the stock exchange announcement dated 21 May 2021, Huddly AS was sued by a group of former employees for compensation based on certain synthetic options. The Company reached a settlement with the group as set out in the stock exchange notice 7 December 2021.
The settlement totals TNOK 75,000 plus social security tax and a total expense of TNOK 80,994 was initially recognized as Employee benefit expense and Other operating expense in 2021.
The first installment of TNOK 25,000 was paid in December 2021. Employee benefit expenses in 2021 includes accrued social security tax of TNOK 1,878 related to the first installment. Total expensed for the second and third installment is TNOK 26,487 and TNOK 25,897 respectively, based on NPV calculation which is discounted with a risk-free interest rate of 3 %. Other operating expenses include legal expenses of TNOK 1,731 directly related to this case. Total expense recognized on settlement was TNOK 80,994 in 2021.
After the settlement there has been no changes to the synthetic option program which at 31 December 2022 has 5 prior employees participating.
There were no changes in synthetic options in 2022.

| Options vested, closing balance 31.12 | 5,871,111 | 5,871,111 |
The weighted average strike price for Synthetic option program on options granted and vested was 0.95 in 2022 and 2021.
Employee options
As at 31 December 2022 the Company's only active share granting incentive program is the 2021 incentive plan implemented in January 2021, directed at employees and directors. As described above, existing employees were offered to convert synthetic options to options under the 2021 incentive plan under certain criteria. Participants are granted options to subscribe for shares in the company based on a pre-determined strike price.
The amendment of the synthetic option plan to the 2021 incentive plan is reflected in 2021 through a significant recognition of share based payment expenses related to replacement options already vested at the amendment date.
The 2021 options are as a general rule subject to a three-year vesting schedule. Further, the options may only be exercised in a coordinated process led by the company's board. This implies that the participant may only exercise a number of options each year equal to 20% of its total number of options.
For new grants in 2022, the exercise price per Share equals the average end of month price per ordinary share in the Company for the first six months of 2022, for options granted between 01.07.2022 and 31.12.2022, the exercise price per Share equal to the average end of month price per ordinary share in the Company for the last six months of 2022.
New grants in 2022 have an exercise price varying between NOK 4,85 and NOK 10,68 with a weighted average of NOK 8,68. The weighted exercise price for all outstanding options regardless of option plan is NOK 3,77.
Some Award Agreements state that if an employee leaves after a given time, the strike price would increase from their original strike price to NOK 7.81 (given that the original strike price is below this threshold). This reduces the calculated fair value of the options.
As of 31 December, there are 130 employees and 4 directors participating in the 2021 incentive plan.
In 2022, The Company provided an extraordinary grant to key employees and management, which have a vesting period of between 3 and 5 years. Vesting criteria for grants to key employees and Management are not subject to any certain performance criteria.
The Company has historically issued a limited number of options to employees and directors under the 2017 Incentive Plan. These options are subject to a three-year vesting schedule. The outstanding options under the 2017 Incentive plan were granted in 2018 and will expire in 2023. Exercise price is NOK 0.000625 per share. As of 31 December, there are 7 employees participating in the 2017 incentive plan and the plan is closed for new grants.
Fair value of the equity instruments is measured at grant date and recognized over the vesting period, for both incentive plans. All equity instruments expire after five years from grant date. Share-based payments included in salary costs are TNOK 10,183 and TNOK 286,001 in 2022 and 2021 respectively.

10. Intangible assets
Accounting principles
Costs to develop the Company's products that are incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility are capitalized if significant, when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the assets will flow to the entity, and when the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost and amortized using the straight-line amortization method over the estimated useful life.
Capitalized development costs include costs directly attributable to development of the intangible, such as personnel expenses and consultancy services. Otherwise, such expenses are expensed as and when incurred.
Judgment is required in evaluating whether subsequent development expenditure is to be capitalized as an internally generated intangible asset or expensed as incurred. The key element of judgment is whether the development project will generate incremental probable future economic benefit in form of a new product, or not.
Descriptions
Amortization method
Capitalized development cost was TNOK 73,779 and TNOK 53,374 in 2022 and 2021 respectively. The Company estimates the economic life to be 5 years.

11. Tangible assets
Accounting principles
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets' expected useful life and adjusted for any impairment charges. Ordinary repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in operating profit. Major assets with different expected useful lives are reported as separate components.
Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
The difference between the asset's carrying amount and its recoverable amount is recognized in the income statement as an impairment loss. Property, plant and equipment that have suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

12. Leases
Accounting principles
The Company has recognized right of use assets and lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months and where the underlying asset has a value of more than NOK 50 thousand.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
- variable lease payments that are based on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date
- amounts expected to be payable by the Company under residual value guarantees.
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising that option
Lease payments to be made under reasonably certain extension options are also included in the measurement of the liability. The lease payments are discounted using the incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
The Company is exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index or rate, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
- any initial direct costs, and
- restoration costs.
Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If the Company is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option, the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.
Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
The Company's leased assets include offices. The Company's right-of-use assets are categorized and presented in the table below.

The Company has no other lease agreements recognized under IFRS 16.
For the year ended 31 December 2021 additions of TNOK 15,188 were related to the same office premises in Oslo and was effective as of 1st December 2021.
The Company's leased office space includes no right of renewal which could be exercised during the last periods of the lease term and no assessment was made on potential future lease payments as at commencement date in 2022 and 2021.
In 2022, a new office lease agreement was signed on Stortorvet 7, 0155 Oslo, commencing 1 July 2023. The lease period is 6 years. Huddly AS as a lessee, initially measures right of use asset and lease liability at the commencement date of the lease. This is the date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee. As at 31 December 2022, the underlying asset was not yet made ready, and as such, no recognition was made with regards to the new office lease agreement. The Company's potential future nominal lease payments not included in lease liabilities related to new office lease agreement not yet made ready is 16 MNOK per annum as at year end December 2022.
13. Other non-current receivables
Accounting principles
The Company initially recognizes other non-current receivables at fair value, and subsequently measures it at amortized cost. Interest income on the receivable is recognized as other financial income.
Descriptions
The Company has as of 31 December 2022 other non-current receivables of in total TNOK 19,000 (TNOK 10,000 as of 31 December 2021).
The amount consists of receivables with third parties. The receivables are reviewed for impairment on an ongoing basis based on the 3-stage expected credit loss model. There have been no impairments of other non-current receivables as of 31. December 2022.
14. Inventories
Accounting principles
Inventory is valued at the lower of historical cost and net realizable value. The historical cost is calculated in accordance with the first in, first out principle. The historical cost of inventories includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost of conversion includes costs directly related to the units of production, as well as fixed and variable production overheads that are incurred in converting materials into finished goods.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the operating activities less estimated costs that are necessary to make a sale. Selling costs includes cost of logistic (warehouse, customs, freight etc.). Goods in transit are recognized at their historical cost.
When inventories are sold, the carrying amount of those inventories shall be recognized as an expense in the period in which the related revenue is recognized.
Descriptions
| Amounts in NOK 1,000 | 2022 | 2021 | 1/1/2021 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Components | 14,887 | 15,728 | 3,238 |
| Consignation inventories | 117,864 | 56,043 | 41,141 |
| Net financial items | 132,752 | 71,771 | 44,378 |
The Company buys finished goods from contractual manufacturers which purchase components and produce finished goods. Normally the Company purchases finished goods for direct sale, but some goods and components are purchased for strategic reasons and presented as components.
During the production of finished goods, there are raw materials and components in the physical possession of the contractual manufacturers, that cannot be used for any other purpose than producing Huddly products. Management has assessed whether the Company controls these raw materials, and using significant judgement management concluded that these raw materials are a present economic resource controlled by the Company based on the economic and contractual relationships between the Company and their production supplies. These raw materials are therefor recognized in the statement of financial position as consignation inventories with corresponding consignation liabilities.
Consignation inventories arise from a reassessment of the accounting treatment of the ultimate ownership of risk related to the manufacturers' inventory according to IFRS. Any and all assessments related to the contractual rights and obligations to the inventory remain unchanged. Both the asset and the corresponding consignation liability will be reduced upon purchase of a finalized product. As such, the cash outflow will first occur once the finalized product is purchased.
15. Trade receivables and other receivables
Accounting principles
Trade receivables are initially measured at fair value. Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and trading terms range from 30 to 45 days and therefore classified as current.
Trade receivables and other receivables are reflected in the balance sheet at nominal value less provision for estimated losses.
Loss allowance and risk exposure
The Company applies the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.
The expected loss rates are based on payments profiles, customer contracts in the previous years and historical losses.
Receivables are grouped into categories and the expected loss rates reflect the Company's ability to collect once receivables are overdue.

The Company's financial risk and capital management is predominantly controlled by the finance and strategy department.
The Company is mainly exposed to the following risks: Market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Company operates with several currencies, of which the main currencies are NOK, USD and PLN. There is no active exchange rate risk hedging. The focus is on securing operational funding, and currency exchanges are conducted when liquidity in a certain currency is needed. In general, cash in foreign currencies are exchanged to NOK on a regular basis when deemed beneficial, meaning that the Company's cash deposits mainly consist of NOK amounts.
| Risk | Exposure arising from | Measurement | Management |

Finally, the exposure relates to foreign indirect tax receivables exposure.
The Company does not normally use contracts to hedge the foreign exchange exposure. The exposure is largely hedged through receipts and debts being denominated, directly or indirectly, in the same currency (a "natural hedge").

Notes to the reconciliation of changes from Simplified IFRS to IFRS:
-
- Employee benefit expenses and other operating expenses increase due to lower capitalization, while amortization decreases due to increased useful life of intangible assets.
-
- No recognition of deferred tax asset due to stricter requirements with regards to recognition of tax assets under IFRS.
-
- Other receivables increased due to reclassification of inventory from a reassessment of the classification of financial assets previously recognized as inventory, and recognition of other current receivables.
-
- Introduction of a new asset and corresponding liability arising from a reassessment of the accounting treatment of the ultimate ownership of risk related to the manufacturers' inventory. Any and all assessments related to the contractual rights and obligations to the inventory remain unchanged. Both the asset and the liability will be reduced upon purchase of a finalized product. As such, the cash outflow will first occur once the finalized product is purchased.

To the General Meeting of Huddly AS
Independent Auditor's Report
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Huddly AS, which comprise:
- the financial statements of the parent company Huddly AS (the Company), which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2022, profit or loss, comprehensive income or loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and
- the consolidated financial statements of Huddly AS and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at 31 December 2022, profit or loss, comprehensive income or loss, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion
- the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
- the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and
- the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information in the Board of Directors' report. The other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors' report.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors' report. The purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of

Directors' report and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors' report otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors' report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors' report
- is consistent with the financial statements and
- contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.
Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
