Management report
The mission of the investment management company "Indexo" (IPAS "Indexo", hereinafter the Company or INDEXO) is to offer modern, transparent and simple investment products at low cost and to improve competition and transparency in the Latvian financial services industry.
We are the fastest growing pension fund manager in Latvia in terms of clients acquired. In 2023, we added a significant number (27 459) of new clients, reaching 127 159. Our Assets Under Management grew by 57% to 917.2 million euros.
2023 was an excellent year for IPAS INDEXO pension clients. Even though the financial markets experienced continuous fluctuations and the short-term results of pension plans can be volatile, historical evidence indicates that the best long-term results can be expected from investing in diversified and passively managed equity funds. As a result, most of INDEXO customers have chosen to save in "Indexo Jauda 16 – 50" fund, which grew 18.65% this year, bringing the 5-year annual growth rate to over 10%. Since the establishment of "INDEXO Jauda 16-50" on February 5th, 2018, 1 euro invested in |auda has grown to 1.578 euros. Our other funds showed strong growth as well. INDEXO management team continues to work hard on reducing the costs associated with investment services in order to further improve the returns of INDEXO pension plans.
We would like to inform you about the key events in the development of INDEXO in 2023:
- 1) We are happy to report further reduction in our indirect fund costs and fund management fees for our clients. In 2024, they have been reduced by 3 basis points from 0.5% to 0.47% for the equity funds and by 1 basis point from 0.43% to 0.42% for the bond funds. Reducing indirect costs means better returns for our customers and higher investment growth in the long term.
- 2) end of the year, which is a 28% increase. Over 5 years our client number has been increasing on average at 46.8% per annum!
- 3) Our Assets Under Management (AUM) increased by 57% over the last 12 months and stood at EUR 917.2 million at the end of the year, meanwhile Latvian 2nd pillar pension market increased from EUR 5.67 billion to EUR 7.06 billion over the same period. The market has grown mainly due to increases in all of the top equity and bond indices In 2023, INDEXO market share has reached nearly 13% of the 2nd pillar pension savings market.
- 4) Our monthly incoming 2nd pillar social tax contributions grew by 36% from EUR 6.5 million per month to EUR 8.8 million per month driven by higher customer numbers and growing salaries.
- 5) INDEXO customer retention is still at a high level and reached on annualized basis 93.0% in December 2023. At the end of 2022, our customer retention was 94.9%.
- 6) Despite INDEXO's fast growth and large investments in client acquisition, INDEXO pension business was profitable during Q3 and Q4 of 2023 and became cash flow positive even after client acquisition costs (excluding costs related to the secondary public offering).

- 7) We have made significant progress with our Bank development. At the end of 2023, we successfully raised additional EUR 9.011 million for the Bank capital. Together with the commitment letters from the shareholders in the additional amount of EUR 4.02 million, we can demonstrate to ECB sufficient funds to execute our Bank business plan.
- 8) Currently, we have practically completed the development of a cloud-based IT infrastructure for the Bank, the development of the most significant internal Bank processes, and the development of a mobile application. Certain components of the new IT infrastructure such as CRM and ERP systems began to be used for the needs of INDEXO pension fund management business already in 2023. We have spent approximately EUR 4.45 million on Bank development in 2023. You can read about the bank development in greater detail further in the report.
- 9) The real estate management company that INDEXO co-founded has grown its assets reaching gross value of EUR 50 million and is attracting new investors. INDEXO participation SIA Provendi asset management AIFP allows us to make a contribution into the Latvian economy and also allows us to help to create a low-cost real estate fund that in the long term will also be available to retail investors
- 10) INDEXO invested EUR 50 000 into Lithuanian pension manager Golndex pro rata with our shareholding. Golndex has reached approximately EUR40 million of AUM and 13 000 clients.
We would like to thank all the INDEXO shareholders, clients, partners and employees for their contribution to INDEXO's stability and further growth!

Pension Fund Management
2nd pillar plans
INDEXO long-term shareholder value growth depends on our ability to grow our pension plan customer base. Each customer will on a monthly basis over time contribute to their pension account that will be invested according to INDEXO investment strategy and with the world equity markets until the person retires. As these pension accounts grow, so does INDEXO revenue. INDEXO is able to attract customers at an attractive cost compared to the lifetime customer value.
In 2023, INDEXO added 22 534 new customers. The customer acquisition happens across different physical and online channels and, given that INDEXO market share in terms of clients is still only about 8.7% of total Latvian 2nd pillar customer base, we see a strong potential for further growth.


Growing world equity and bond markets have contributed to the growth of our 2™ pillar AUM. In 2023, MSCI World equities index, which is close to our investment strategy in our flagship 100% equity plan "INDEXO Jauda 16-50", grew by almost 20% in euro terms. INDEXO AUM meanwhile grew by 56% from 575 million euros at the end of 2022 to 896 million euros at the end of 2023. This was ensured by new customer asset inflow and social tax contributions to our 2™ pillar customers' accounts.

As our public presence continues to increase and our long-term results show the success of our chosen investment strategy, our customer retention has remained high. We hope that once INDEXO launches its banking offer, our relevance for clients will increase and less customers will choose other pension fund managers.
For our clients, important news is that our all-in fees which take into account our fund management fees and the indirect fund costs, have decreased over the year by 1 to 3 bps. This allows our customers to get a better share of the world's financial market returns. We will continue to work on reducing the costs further.

We are also proud to say that net of fees, INDEXO clients have some of the best long-term returns in the Latvian market in comparison with other asset managers. INDEXO was the first asset manager to introduce passive index investing to Latvian market, and this strategy has so far proven to outperform most competition both in times when markets grow, or when they go down. Of course, it is important to remember that financial markets are volatile and past performance is not always indicative of future results.
The largest share of Latvian pension money is invested with 50% equity strategy, with almost 3.3 billion euros of Latvians' pension savings assets. Our pension plan "INDEXO Izaugsme 47-57" (further lzaugsme) continues to outperform all competitors of this segment in terms of long-term returns. At the end of 2023, over 5 years, our Izaugsme plan customers have earned upwards of 0.5% per year more compared to the 2nd best plan in this category. The results of our plans using passive investment strategy can be seen on www.manapensija.lv.
INDEXO was the first pension fund manager to launch 75% equity plans on 5 February 2018, and, as of 5 February 2023, we have a 5-year reference to measure "INDEXO Jauda 16-50" (thereafter - Jauda) plan performance. According to the available data on 31 December, 2023, INDEXO Jauda has provided 10.18% per annumreturns to our customers in the last 5 years. That means that 1 euro invested in Jauda has grown to 1.58 euros and it will keep compounding further. This is a great result, especially considering that the plan was established as a 75% equity plan and converted into 100% equity plan only once the legislation was in place to allow 100% equity plans in 2021/2022.
This has been a successful year for investors in our conservative plan "INDEXO Konservatīvais 55+" with a yearly return of 6.82% Our aim with our conservative plan is to minimize credit risk and ensure good liquidity of the instruments in our portfolio.
3rd pillar plans
INDEXO has an attractive voluntary 3d pillar pension product with personalized automatic rebalancing and low fees. It means that as a person nears the pension age, INDEXO automatically starts reducing equity risk according to a pre-set glide path. On the other hand, INDEXO's tool also allows our client to personally manage the risk level of their portfolio by choosing the desired level of equity risk. Over 90% of our customers have chosen the automatic rebalancing strategy that we recommend.
Voluntary third pillar plans represent a small, but important part of our overall business. On 31 December 2023, 30 pillar assets comprised around 2% of total AUM managed by INDEXO's mission is to provide the best possible service to encourage people to supplement their state pension and 2ª pillar savings by voluntary savings. As the disposable income grows, we aim to convince more and more Latvians that the tax efficient 30 pillar with automatic monthly payment is the best way to do it.


In 2023, our 3rd pillar customer number increased by 5.0 thousand or 56% (from 8.8 th. on 31 December, 2022 to 13.8 th. on 31 December, 2023), and meanwhile the AUM grew from 10.2 million to 21.1 million or 107%. Our 3ª pillar OCF and fees are very competitive and low for all customers no matter their account size.
Our biggest challenge in the 3ª pillar market is to convince people that this product is a great tool for people to supplement their 1st and 2nd pillar retirement savings. Whereas in Estonia and Lithuania there is significant increase in new customers opening 3d pillar accounts and increasing the contributions into 3d pillar plans, the Latvian market is quite dormant. But this is an opportunity as the free funds will grow and more people will seek ways to save for future.

Bank Development
All the essential work for developing INDEXO Bank was completed in 2023. For precise expense tracking and obtaining the Bank license, a new legal entity, AS IDX1R, was established on 19 December 2022. All employees who were involved in the Bank's development project at INDEXO were transferred to AS IDX1R. Additionally, since its establishment, all the other expenses related to the Bank development are covered by AS IDXIR, thus clearly separating the expenses of the Bank project from pension fund management business.
Within the Bank licensing process, a total of 21 supplements or clarifications were submitted during 2023 to the document package that was submitted at the end of 2022. The questions and requested clarifications were related to various aspects of the new Bank's operation, however, the most significant part of them was related to the new Bank's ability to withstand various adverse scenarios and the amount of capital required to cover the potential risks. At the end of 2023, it was quantified that, in addition to the already raised capital, additional EUR 12.5 million are needed for the Banking

operations and covering various risks. Of the required amount, EUR 9.01 million were raised in a new public share offering, and additional EUR 4.02 million were secured through commitment letters from 9 different investors. At present, all the necessary capital for the establishment of the Bank has been secured, and all questions posed by regulatory authorities have been answered.
In parallel with the Bank licensing process, work was also underway on the technical readiness of the Bank to be able to serve banking products to the first clients as soon as possible after receiving the license. Currently, we have practically completed the development of cloud-based IT infrastructure for the Bank, significant internal Bank process development of a mobile application that initially will provide basic banking services to individuals. The servicing of legal entities is planned to commence 9-12 months later. Certain new IT infrastructure components such as consumer relationship management system (CRM) and accounting system (ERP) began to be used for the needs of the INDEXO pension fund management business in 2023.
In October 2023, the VISA card certification process was successfully completed, confirming the high level of readiness of the future INDEXO Bank's IT systems.
Real estate fund
In 2022, together with two real estate professionals we co-founded SIA Provendi asset management AlFP- a real estate management company in which INDEXO holds 49%. In 2023, SIA Provendi asset management AIFP launched the cheapest real estate fund in Latvia - Provendi Real Estate Fund – and two of our investment plans - Jauda and Izaugsme - started to invest a portion of their assets into the fund. At the end of 2023, the fund had approximately 50 million euros of gross investments into residential and retail properties. The fund has attracted new Scandinavian and institutional investors. Despite the fund's cost-effectiveness compared to regional options, it will always create higher trading costs. Even though the fund is the cheapest real estate fund in the region, due to the nature of real estate management, it will always be a more expensive investments in ETFs and, therefore, will create higher indirect costs to our clients. To mitigate this impact on lzaugsme and Jauda performance, we've committed to reimbursing our portion of profits generated by SIA Provendi asset management AIFP to Izaugsme and Jauda until the OCF of this fund reaches 0.50% in our pension fund portfolios. We anticipate the first reimbursements to occur in 2025 when SIA Provendi asset management AIDP is expected to reach stable profitability.

IPAS "Indexo" pension business results

Increases in number of clients and the volume of assets under management have contributed to income growth in pension fund management reaching EUR 3.1 million (compared to EUR 2.3 million in 2022). The total income of IPAS "Indexo" during the reporting period was more than sufficient to cover the administrative expenses of pension fund management.

At the end of 2023, INDEXO concluded a secondary public offering, which cost EUR 115 thousand in total.
During the reporting period, the client acquisition costs amounted to EUR 2.41 million (in 2022: EUR 2.31 million) of which EUR 1.78 million (in 2022: EUR 1.72 million) were recognized as expenses, including an amortized part of EUR 0.23 million (in 2022: EUR 0.14 million)from previously capitalized client acquisition costs.

On 19 December, 2022, a new legal entity, AS IDX1R, was established to obtain the Banking license. All employees involved in the Bank's development project were transferred to AS IDXIR. Similarly, since establishment of the company all expenses related to the Bank development are covered by AS IDXIR funds, thus clearly separating the Bank project expenses from pension fund management business expenses.
As the Bank's operations have not yet started, AS IDX1R does not generate any significant revenue, while at the same time the company makes significant investments in IT infrastructure development, licensing processes, and other necessary preparations to start Banking operations. Therefore, during the reporting year, AS IDX1R incurred losses amounting to EUR 2.57 million. The total investment into the INDEXO Bank development was EUR 4.45 million of which EUR 1.88 million related to investment in IT software were capitalized . Currently, we have submitted all the required documents for obtaining the Banking license and we are awaiting the regulatory institutions' decision.

Other risks to which the Group is exposed, such as market risk, currency risk, liquidity risk, external environment risk have been assessed and considered insignificant.
Sustainability
INDEXO was established with the aim to improve the financial environment in Latvia. It was a response to the unjustifiably high commission fees and low returns in pension management at the time. INDEXO strives to continuously develop in order to create long-term value for its clients, shareholders, and society at large. In 2023, the Company's management board developed the INDEXO sustainability strategy for the period from 2023 to 2027.
Environment
As a pension manager with a passive asset management strategy, INDEXO recognizes that the most significant impact can be achieved through the company's investments. INDEXO invests the assets entrusted by its clients in 2nd and 3rd pillar pension schemes into low-cost index funds. We actively monitor the average sustainability ratings of our portfolios. At the end of 2023, every instrument selected for our portfolio had a sustainability rating ranging from B to AA. At the end of 2023, the average sustainability rating in each of INDEXO's plans was AA, meeting the objectives set in the plan prospectuses.

In addition to investments, we can create a positive environmental impact through our digital initiatives and the INDEXO office building. In 2023, all contracts with cooperation partners, clients and documents were signed using electronic signatures. INDEXO does not have a wide network of branches, all services are available remotely using digital devices 24/7. In |anuary 2024, INDEXO signed a long-term lease agreement with the "Verde" office complex, the greenest office complex in Riga, which will house both the INDEXO pension management company and the central office of the new INDEXO Bank.
Social Responsibility
INDEXO cares about relationships with employees, clients, shareholders, regulators and society. The company addresses social issues and advocates for positive changes in the Latvian financial environment.
- INDEXO has achieved many positive changes in the pension sector. With the establishment of a new Bank, we are committed to promoting competition in the Banking sector as well. More about the development of the new Bank in 2023 is described in the management report section "Bank Development".
- Throughout 2023, INDEXO's total commission rates, including plan management costs and indirect plan costs, continued to decrease by 1 to 3 basis points. Additionally, INDEXO's active pension plans show some of the best long-term results in the industry, thereby ensuring larger savings for clients.
- Beyond individual consultations provided by INDEXO representatives on the 2nd and 3rd pillar pension, we regularly published educational content on financial topics through our communication channels, participated in the Financial Literacy Week organized by the Bank of Latvia with a webinar on the Latvian pension system, and in cooperation with personal finance mentor Alina Zela, implemented an educational series of four webinars on achieving financial well-being in old age.
- We participated in the publication of two financial literacy books. Together with the Investoru Klubs, we published the globally recognized financial literacy book "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" by John C. Bogle in Latvian for the first time. Moreover, we shared knowledge about the Latvian pension system and provided recommendations in the Latvian version of Jaak Roosaare book "The Handbook of Wealth".
- By supporting the Rimi Riga Marathon, we engaged in promoting a healthy lifestyle. .
Governance
Since its inception, one of INDEXO's core values has been transparency and good governance. After becoming a public company and reaching nearly 6 000 shareholders, INDEXO continues to improve its corporate governance practice.
Along with the Group's annual report, the company publishes the Corporate Governance Report for 2023, prepared in accordance with the requirements of Article 56.2 of the Financial Instruments Market Law and the Corporate Governance Code issued by the Ministry of Justice's Advisory Council in 2020. Evaluating the adherence to the principles mentioned in the code for 2023, the Company's management board concludes that during the reporting period, 15 principles were fully complied with and 2 were partially complied with. This marks an improvement compared to the evaluation done for 2022, where it was found that 9 principles were fully complied with and 8 were partially complied with.

Estimates and judgements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis for making judgments about carying amounts of assets and liabilities that cannot be determined based on other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis. Changes in estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the change affects only that period, or in the period in which the estimate is revised and in subsequent periods if the change affects both current and future periods.
ln preparing the financial statements, significant judgments and estimates are used in:
- · impairment of investments in subsidiaries based on the recoverable amount of the investment (Company);
- · client acquisition costs and their amortisation period (Group and Company);
- share-based payments (Group and Company)
Recoverable amount of investments in subsidiaries
Impairments on investments in subsidiaries are calculated based on their recoverable amount. If recoverable amount if the investment is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment is recognised. Recoverable amount of INDEXO APF is estimated based on net present value of forecasted income. Recoverable amount of "IDXIR" AS is estimated based net present value of forecasted income and company value in the future. Please see Note 15.
Contract acquisition costs - Customer acquisition costs
The Group and the Company recognises contract acquisition cost assets if the Group and the Company expects to recover these costs. Acquisition costs are costs incurred by the Group and the Company in concluding contracts with its customers, but which the Group and the Company would not have incurred if the specific contracts had not been concluded (incremental costs). Costs to obtain a contract that would have been incurred regardless of whether the contract was obtained are recognised as expense in profit or loss when incurred unless these costs are explicitly chargeable to the customer regardless of whether the contract is obtained. The Group and the Company recognises incremental costs of obtaining a contract with customer as an asset in its balance sheet. If the

amortization period of a potential contract cost asset is expected to be less than one year, the Group and the Company recognises the costs incurred in entering into the contracts directly in profit and loss when incurred.
A contract cost asset is carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. Accumulated amortisation is recognised on a systematic basis over the estimated useful lives of the services, considering the expected dynamics of revenue generation.
The Group and the Company recognises as contract cost asset variable part of compensation of its employees engaged in customer acquisition, which is being amortised over a seven-year period. The Company's management believes that the variable compensation of its customer acquisition specialists related to customer acquisition meets the definition of incremental costs of obtaining a contract under IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" , as these costs would not have been incurred if no customers were acquired, and the Company expects to recover those costs. Please see Note 13.
Capitalised customer acquisition costs are recognised in the statement of financial position under "Contract acquisition costs", while amortisation costs are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income under "Administrative expenses".
Accounting for share-based payments
The Company's shareholders meeting has granted the Company's management and employees stock options to the Company's shares. The respective stock options are classified in the Group's and the Company's financial statements as a share-based payment transaction in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2.
In determining the fair value of the stock options at the Group's and the Company's management considered information about actual direct transactions with the Company's shares that is available to the Group's and the Company's management. At the end of each reporting period, the Group's and the Company's management estimates the probability of exercising the stock options by individually assessing the expected performance of the terms of the Group's and the Company's management's vesting period, including length of service in the Group and the Company, performance, and accordingly recognises accruals for expected personnel tax payments. Please see Note 5.
Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are companies that are controlled by the Group. The company is controlled by the Group if the Group receives, or the Group has the right to receive variable returns from the investment and it has the ability to influence the amount of the variable return by using its power over the company. Financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the control is gained and are excluded when the control is lost.
Investments in subsidiaries in the separate financial statements are accounted for at cost less provision for impairment, if any.

When Group loses the control over subsidiary, it stops recognising subsidiary's assets and liabilities, as well as any non-controlling interests and other equity components. Profit or loss earned is recognised in profit or loss statement. If Group retains interest in the former subsidiary, such interest is accounted for at fair value at the date when control is lost.
Transactions eliminated at consolidation
In preparation of these consolidated financial statements intercompany transactions and balances, as well as unrealised profit were eliminated. Unrealised loss is eliminated similar to unrealised profit but to the extent not exceeding impairment.
Unified accounting policies in the Group
In preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the accounting policies of subsidiaries which differ from those used by the Group are adjusted to conform with the accounting policies of the Group.
Associates
In the consolidated financial statements in associates are accounted for using the equity accounting method.
Assets under management
The Group and the Company manages and administers the assets held in the securities and cash accounts of the custodian bank on behalf of its customers. Financial information on these assets is not included in these financial statements because the risks and rewards associated with these assets are entirely attributable to the Group's and the Company's customers. Consequently, these assets are not considered assets of the Group and the Company. These financial statements include the assets under management for information purposes only.
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment
Intangible assets and property, plant and equipment (PPE) are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure directly attributable to the acquisition of the intangible asset or PPE.
Depreciation rates of intangible assets and PPE used
| % p.a. | |
|---|---|
| Intangible assets | 20.00 |
| Other PPE | 33 33 |
Costs associated with maintaining software programmes are recognised as an expense as incurred. Installation and configuration costs that are directly attributable to the identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group are recognised as intangible assets where the following criteria are met:
- there is an ability to use or sell the software;
- it can be demonstrated how the software will generate probable future economic benefits; and
- the expenditure attributable to the software can be reliably measured.

If the carrying amount of an intangible asset or PPE exceeds its recoverable amount, the intangible asset or PPE are immediately written down to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an intangible asset or item of PPE fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use.
The costs of repairs and maintenance of PPE are recognised in the income statement in the period in which they are incurred.
Gain or loss on disposal of an item of PPE is calculated as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the proceeds on disposal and is recognised in the profit or loss in the period in which it arises.
Inventory
The inventory consists of stocks of plastic cards purchased and held for further resale. The perpetual inventory method is used for inventory tracking. In cases of plastic card usage, the FIFO method is employed to determine usage and remaining values.
Lease
Classification
At the time the contract is entered into, the Group and the Company considers whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease. A contract is a lease if the contract grants contract grants control over the use of an identifiable asset for a specified period of time in exchange for consideration.
Lessee
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and the corresponding lease liability at the date when the leased asset is available for use by the Group and the Company. The cost of the right-of-use assets consists of:
- the amounts of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
- any lease payments made on or before the date of commencement of the contract, less any lease payments received;
- all initial direct costs
Replacement costs relating to the dismantling and restoration of PPE are reported separately as provisions and related assets.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis from the inception of the lease until the end of the lease term, unless there is an intention to buy out an asset. The right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by the amount of the impairment loss, if any, and adjusted to reflect the remeasurement of the lease liability.
Lease assets and lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Group's and the Company's borrowing rate, at the date of initial application. Lease liabilities are remeasured if there is a change in the future lease payments as a result of a change in the index or rate used to determine the lease payments, a change in the Group's and the Company's estimate of the amount of the expected lease payments or a change in the Group's and the Company's ability to exercise, extend or terminate the lease. When a lease liability is remeasured, a

corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or recognised in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset decreases to zero.
Each lease payment is apportioned between the lease liability and the interest expense on the lease liability. The interest expense on the lease liability is recognised in profit or loss over the lease term to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability for each period.
Short-term lease and lease of assets with low value
Lease payments associated with short-term leases of assets with low value are recognized as expenses using the straight-line method of profit or loss calculation. A short-term lease is a lease with a term of 12 months or less.
Investments in subsidiaries and associates (Company)
Investments in subsidiaries (i.e., companies in which the Company holds or otherwise controls more than 50% of the share capital) are stated at cost less impairment losses.
Subsequent to initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are stated at cost less impairment losses.
If there is objective evidence that an investment in a subsidiary is impairment loss is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the investment and its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an investment's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss on an investment may be reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the impairment since the last impairment loss was recognised.
Dividends received from subsidiaries are recognised when the Company's legal right to receive the payment is established.
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control or joint control. This is generally the case where the group holds between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting, after initially being recognised at cost.
Revenue and expenditure accounting
lnterest income and expense are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.
Remuneration for the management and servicing of state-funded pension scheme (SFPS) investment plans and private pension plans is calculated by multiplying the amount of certain percentage specified in the plan prospectuses by the average net asset value per year. The management fee is calculated and accumulated daily, but settlement is made once a month. Fees received by the Investment Company for managing funds are recognised over time as the related performance obligations are satisfied and no significant judgement is required to determine the transaction price

or performance obligations. Accrued income, i.e., contract assets, are reported under "Receivables" at the end of each period.
In determining the amount of the SFPS investment plan fees for management, the Company shall consider the maximum amount of remuneration set forth in the Cabinet of Ministers Regulation No 765 "Procedures by which the Manager of Funds of the State Funded Pension Scheme shall Calculate the Payment for the Management of an Investment Plan and Procedures for the Accounting and Deduction of the Abovementioned Payment".
Other commissions and other income and expenses are recognized when the related service is provided.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency (euro) at the euro reference rate published by the European Central Bank (ECB) on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates for the euro prevailing at the reporting dates.
Foreign currency gains and losses on monetary items are the difference between the amortised cost of the item in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for interest income/expense recognised during the period, and the amortised cost of the item in foreign currency at the end of the period, translated at the euro reference rate published by ECB at the end of the period.
Gains or losses arising from changes in exchange rates are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. At the end of the period the Group and the Company have no assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency.
Financial instruments
Initial recognition and measurement
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet on the date on which the contractual provisions of the instrument become binding to the Group and the Company. All regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the settlement date, i.e., the date on which the financial asset is received.
Financial assets or financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial liability unless the financial asset or financial liability is classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs for financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised in the comprehensive income statement. Subsequent to initial recognition, expected credit losses are considered for financial assets measured at amortised cost, so that the credit losses are recognised in the comprehensive income statement when the asset is just recognised.
If the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities differs from the transaction price at initial recognition, the Group and the Company recognises the difference as follows.

- liability (i.e., a Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy) or on the basis of a valuation technique that uses only observable market data, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.
- day gain or loss is determined individually. They may be amortised over the life of the instrument, deferred until the fair value of the instrument can be determined using observable market data, or on disposal.
Classification
Financial assets are initially classified into one of the following categories:
- Financial assets measured at amortised cost;
- Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The recognition and classification of financial assets in the above categories is based on the following two factors:
- The business model chosen by the Group and the Company for managing the financial assets;
- The characteristics of the contractual cash flows of a financial asset.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
- The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial asset to generate contractual cash flows; and
- The contractual terms of a financial asset provide for cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest. Financial assets measured at amortised cost.
Financial assets measured at amortized costs
Claims on financial institutions are classified as financial assets measured at amortised cost if the following criteria are met:
- They are held within a business model achieved through the collection of contractual cash flows;
- Their contractual cash flows consist of solely payments of principal and interest on the remaining principal;
- profit or loss upon initial recognition.
Financial assets that meet the above criteria are measured at amortised cost and are subject to the impairment model in IFRS 9.
Impairment of financial assets
The following financial instruments are subject to the impairment requirements of IFRS 9:
- Financial assets measured at amortised cost.

For financial instruments that fall within the scope of the impairment model, the allowance for expected credit losses is calculated as follows:
- Stage 1 financial instruments for which there has been no significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition (or financial instruments for which credit risk is considered to be low) – expected credit losses are calculated as an amount equal to 12 months of expected credit losses,
- Stage 2-financial instruments without impairment but with a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, expected credit losses are calculated as an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses,
- Stage 3 impaired financial instruments the expected credit losses are calculated at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses.
Credit losses are the difference between the contractual cash flows expected to be received under the contract and the cash flows the Group and the Company expects to receive (i.e., all payment defaults), discounted at the original effective interest rate (or the credit-adjusted effective interest rate for financial assets acquired or issued with impairment). The Group and the Company estimates cash flows considering all contractual terms of a financial instrument (for example, prepayments, renewals, sales, and similar options) using the estimated useful lives of the financial instruments. These cash flows include cash flows from the sale of collateral or other credit enhancements that form an integral part of the contractual terms.
The assessment of credit risk and the amount of expected credit losses is determined objectively by evaluating the risk and considering all available information for the assessment, including information on past events, current conditions, as well as well-founded and substantiated forecasts of future events and economic conditions at the reporting date.
The Group and the Company, at each reporting date, analyse whether the credit risk of the financial instrument has significantly increased since initial recognition by assessing changes in the default risk of the financial instrument over its expected time.
For transactions, the key indicator is the changes in the probability of default (PD) over the life cycle, which are determined by comparing the scenario that predicts the PD for the year at the reporting date with the scenario that predicts the PD for the year at the initial recognition date.
The Expected Credit Loss (ECL) is calculated taking into account the probability of default (PD), exposure at default (EAD), loss given default (LGD), as well as the timing of loss occurrence.
PD reflects the likelihood that a loan will not be repaid and that liabilities will not be met either within the next 12 months (for Stage 1 financial instruments) or throughout its entire lifecycle (for Stage 2 and 3 financial instruments). When assessing the expected PD for each individual instrument, customer categories and relevant external historical information are taken into account, allowing the use of informed information about future economic conditions.
EAD represents the estimation of credit exposure at the time of default. LGD is the amount that may not be recoverable in the event of default. For the assessment of LGD, the quality and quantity of any collateral held are considered, as well as the likelihood of its recovery.

In 2022, the Group and the Company consider that losses from impairment of assets included in the scope of the expected credit loss model are immaterial. This is justified by the fact that the accrued income is towards three managed pension plans settled shortly after the end of the financial year, while the remaining financial assets primarily consist of claims against credit institutions on demand, and therefore the short term of these claims implies immaterial credit risk. In 2023, the Group and the Company have accrued credit losses on assets related to the loan to SIA Provendi Asset Management AIFP. The Group and the Company consider that the impairment losses on the remaining assets within the scope of the expected credit loss model are immaterial.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss consist of investments in equity instruments. Equity instruments are instruments which correspond to the definition from the point of view of the issuer; namely which do not include an obligation to pay and which prove a remaining shareholding in the issuers assets. An example of equity instruments are ordinary shares. The Group and the Company measure all investments in equity instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Dividends, when they contribute to the return of such investments, and when the Group and the Company have the right to receive them are measured through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost
All financial liabilities initially are recognised at fair value and, in the case of borrowings, less directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate (ER) method. Gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised and using the ElR method. Amortised cost is calculated by considering any purchase discounts or premiums as well as fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. Depreciation of EIR is included in the comprehensive income statement as net interest income.
Liabilities measured at amortised cost include payables
Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired or when the Group and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Any consideration given or liability retained as a result of the transfer is recognised as a separate asset or liability. The Group and the Company derecognises a financial liability when it is settled, i.e., when the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.
Offsetting
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, and the net amount recognised in the balance sheet when there is a legal right to do so and the Group and the Company intends to settle on a net basis, or to dispose of the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Fair value of financial assets and liabilities
The fair value of assets and liabilities is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in the ordinary course of business between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial assets and liabilities is divided into the following fair value hierarchy:
- Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in an active market;
- Level 2: Adjusted quoted prices or valuation model with active market parameters used;
- and are based on internal assumptions.
Other receivables
Other receivables are accounted for in accordance with the terms of the contract, net of any allowance for doubtful accounts, and are recognised in the balance sheet. Provisions for doubtful accounts are made when it is no longer probable that the receivable will be recovered in full. Receivables are written off when their collection is considered impossible.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are cash on hand and at bank, and other highly liquid assets with an original maturity of three months or less that are used by the Group and the Company to settle current liabilities.
Accrued liabilities
"Accrued liabilities" include clearly known amounts of payables to suppliers of goods and services received during the reporting period for which, due to delivery, purchase or contractual terms or for other reasons, no supporting payment authorisation document has yet been received as of the balance sheet date. This item also includes accrued liabilities for employees' unused annual leave and variable compensation.
Provisions and contingent liabilities
The Group and the Company recognises a provision when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of past event, it is probable that an outflow of embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is remote, a brief description of a contingent liability and estimate of its financial effect is disclosed.
The management has disclosed a brief description of a contingent liability in Note 32 sub-heading Banking license.
Employee benefits
Employee entitlement to an annual leave is recognised when employees have accrued the appropriate annual leave days. Accruals for employees' annual leaves are estimated based on employees' unused annual leave days as of the balance sheet date. The Group and the Company makes mandatory social security contributions to the state-funded pension scheme in accordance with Latvian legislation. The state-funded pension scheme is a defined contribution pension plan to which the Group and the Company is required to make statutory payments. The Group and the

Company has no legal or constructive obligation to make additional payments if the state-funded pension scheme is unable to meet its obligations owed to its employees. National social security mandatory contributions are recognised as an expense on an accrual basis and are included in employee expenses.
Share-based payments
The cost is recognised as part of employee compensation, together with a corresponding increase in equity (stock options) during the period in which the service is rendered and the performance conditions are fulfilled (vesting period). The cumulative cost recognised in respect of equity settled transactions at the end of each reporting period reflects the past service vesting period and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The cost or reversal of the previously recognised expense in the statement of comprehensive income for the reporting period reflects the changes in cumulative costs recognised at the beginning and end of the reporting period.
No cost is recognised for share-based payments that are not ultimately expected to vest because the related non-market vesting condition and/or service condition are not expected to be satisfied over the vesting period. Where share-based payment transactions involve market-based or non-vesting conditions, these are accounted for as vested, whether or not the market or non-vesting conditions are satisfied if all other vesting and/or performance conditions are satisfied.
When the terms of a share-based payment transaction in equity are modified, the minimum amount to be recognised is the grant-date fair value of the unmodified remuneration, provided the original terms of the sharebased payment are satisfied. Incremental costs determined at the date of modification are recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment or otherwise provides a benefit to the employee. When the Group or an employee cancels a share-based payment, the remaining fair value of the share-based payment is immediately recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Corporate income tax
Corporate income tax for the reporting period is included in the financial statements based on the Management's calculations prepared in accordance with Latvian Republic tax legislation. Corporate income tax is calculated on the basis of distributed profit (20/80 of the net amount payable to shareholders). Corporate tax on distributed profit will be recognized when the shareholders of the Group companies and the Company make a decision about profit distribution. The Group companies and the Company calculate and pay corporate income tax also for the conditionally distributed profit (20/80 of calculated taxable base), which includes taxable objects in accordance with the Corporate Income Tax law, such as the expenditure not related to economic activity, the doubtful debts of debtors and the loans to the related parties, if they meet criteria provided in the Corporate Income Tax law, as well other expenses exceeding statutory limits for deduction. Corporate income tax for the conditionally distributed profit is recognized in the income statement in the year for which it is assessed.
There are no differences between the tax bases and carrying amount of assets and liabilities and hence, deferred income tax assets and liabilities do not arise.

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing:
• the profit attributable to owners of the Company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares
• by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year and excluding treasury shares.
Diluted earnings per share
Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account:
• the after-income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares, and
• the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Segment reporting
The Group's and the Company's management, examines the Group's and the Company's performance and has identified two reportable segments of its business: (i) asset management and (ii) banking development.
The Management primarily uses a measure of Operating income before client acquisition to assess the performance of the operating segments. However, the Management also receives information about the segments' revenue, net profit and assets on a monthly basis.
Risk management
The Group's activities result in exposure to a variety of financial risks. The risk management system is integrated in the framework of the Group's internal contro system. Risk measurement, assessment and controlfunctions are separated from the business unit (risk acceptance) functions. The Group has implemented a risk management policy based on which risks are managed and mitigated.
The purpose of the Group's risk management processes is to identify and manage the Group's and the Company's significant operational risks, as well as to ensure their control. The Group's and the Company's main tasks in the field of risk management are to:
- a. protect the assets of the recipients of management services (investment plans);
- b. ensure the compliance of the management of the recipients of management services (investment plans) with the regulatory enactments of the Republic of Latvia;
- c. ensure compliance of the Group's and the Company's operations with the regulatory enactments of the Republic of Latvia;
- d. protect the Group's and the Company's assets and promote the stability of financial flows;
- e. regularly assess what risks may adversely affect the achievement of the Group's and the Company's business objectives, incl. achievement of the planned financial results.

In the financial statement, we review the management of the risks associated with the Group's and the Company's own assets, financial flows, and objectives. The Group and the Company identifies specific risk factors that it faces in the course of its business.
Due to the volatility in the global and Latvian financial markets and economy, the conditions for testing capital adequacy stress were reviewed. In the process of calculating market risk, more attention is paid to raising the confidence limits of the models.
Market risk
Market risk is the possibility of losses from the revaluation of assets under management due to changes in the market price of financial instruments, commodities, and their derivatives as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and other factors.
Foreign exchange risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk of potential loss resulting from the remeasurement of the Group's and the Company's open currency position (the difference between assets and liabilities) for each foreign currency due to changes in the exchange rate of the reporting currency. During the reporting period, the Group and the Company did not have a significant currency position in a foreign currency that would materially affect the Group's and the Company's assets or liabilities, nor did it have such a position at the end of the reporting period. The Group and the Company considers the foreign exchange risk to be immaterial and does not prepare a sensitivity analysis.
Operational risk
Operational risk is the possibility of loss due to inadequate or incomplete internal processes, the operation of people and systems, or the effects of external circumstances, including legal risk, but excluding strategic and reputational risk. Operational risk is one of the most significant risks associated with the Group's and the Company's business and is managed by the Group and the Company in accordance with the Operational Risk Management Policy developed by the Group and the Company.
In order to identify operational risk events promptly and to take appropriate and timely measures to minimize operational risk the Group and the Company has developed and implemented a data base for registering operational risk events on a regular basis. The Group and the Company has implemented a procedure that all employees regardless of their position immediately make entries of operational risk events in the event database upon identifying any circumstances that have caused or may cause losses (irrespective of the Group and the Company or may inflict damage to the Group's reputation. If required, all operational risk events entered in the event database are checked according to the procedures specified in internal documents, and risk mitigation measures are developed and assigned to improve the internal controls.
Information technology and system risk
This risk is the possible inability of the Group and the Company to fully perform any of its obligations or functions related to the operation of information systems in a quality manner, and the associated risk that the Group and the Company may incur losses/additional costs due to inadequate information technology or information processing. The Group and the Company manages this risk in accordance with the regulations developed by the Group and the Company to protect information systems and personal data.

Reputational risk
Reputational risk is the risk that participants in the Group's and the Company's investment plans, business partners, shareholders, regulators, and other stakeholders may have a negative opinion of the Group and the Company and may negatively impact the Group's and the Company's ability to maintain existing business relationships or establish new business relationships with its clients or other business partners, as well as negatively impact the investment plans managed by the Group and the Company. The Group's and the Company's Management Board closely monitors the Group's and the Company's reputation and risk factors.
Sustainability risk is the risk that an event or circumstance in the framework of Environmental, Social or Governance (ESG) could negatively affect the value of an investment.
We actively monitor the average sustainability ratings of portfolios. At the end of 2023, each instrument selected in portfolio had a sustainability rating ranging from B to AA. At the end of 2023, each of INDEXO's plans had an average sustainability rating of AA and was in line with the objectives set out in the prospectuses.
Compliance risk
Compliance risk is the risk that the Group and the Company will suffer losses or be subject to legal obligations or sanctions, or that its reputation will deteriorate because the Group and the Company does not comply with or violates compliance laws, regulations and standards.
The Group and the Company operates in a manner that ensures compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance risk management in the Company is ensured by defining clear responsibilities in the field of operational compliance, implementing the actual requirements of external regulations in internal policies and procedures that are comprehensible and transparent to the Group and the Company employees.
The Group and the Company take all necessary measures to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including in the fields of managing conflicts of interests, market abuse, personal data protection, information security and other.
For the management of ML/TF/PF and Sanctions risks the Group and the Company defined low risk appetite in regards of compliance risks and zero tolerance principle against intentional violations of AML/CFT and Sanctions compliance requirements.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk the Group and the Company is unable to meet legally enforceable requirements in a timely manner without incurring significant losses, and that it is unable to manage unplanned changes in the Group's and the Company's resources and/or market conditions due to insufficient cash. Given the level of the Group's and the Company's unrestricted cash, no liquidity risks were identified during the reporting period.
The Group and the Company manages its liquidity risk by maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents. To ensure sufficient cash, the Group and the Company regularly plans its cash flow and analyses actual performance indicators.

Strategic and business risk
Strategic and business risk is the possibility of suffering losses due to erroneous decisions that determine the strategic operations and development of the Group and Company (strategic, business management). Management manages this risk by not making important strategic decisions on its own, but in an advisory capacity during Board of Directors' meetings and in consultation with the Company's Council when necessary.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the possibility of incurring losses if a customer fails contractual obligations. The Group and the Company in 2023 has no assets that are impaired or past due. The Group and the Company applies IFRS 9 and the expected credit loss model.. In accordance with the Group's and the Company's investment policy, cash is invested in term deposits depending on the credit rating of the financial institution and the interest rate offered. The Group and the Company controls credit risk by monitoring the amount of receivables and minimizing the occurrence of past due or uncollectible receivables.
The maximum credit risk is disclosed in the table below:
| Dec 2023 | Dec 2022 | Dec 2023 | Dec 2022 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group | Group | Company | Company | |
| EUR | EUR | EUR | EUR | |

Capital adequacy
The Company provides a sufficient amount of equity to compensate for losses that customers would incur due to the Company's fault. The amount of required own funds is determined in accordance with Regulation No. 575/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 June 2013. See Note 31.

Remuneration policy
In order to ensure a high long-term employee performance culture, the Group and the Company determine remuneration that is competitive, differentiated, follows business logic, market practices, employee competence, and long-term performance. The total remuneration paid for a certain period of time must not jeopardize the Group's and the Company's ability to produce positive results over the relevant business cycle.
The Company's Remuneration policy in its current version was approved on 24 March, 2022 in the Company's shareholders' meeting. Various experts, including risk management and compliance experts, responsible members of the legal function and external experts, were involved in the development of this policy. The principles of the Remuneration policy are reviewed on a regular basis to ensure that they are consistent with the Company's business plan or the strategy of the investment portfolio under its management, the results of the remuneration policy and its compliance with the approved remuneration policy and the relevant internal regulatory provisions. The Group and the Company have developed an updated the Group's Remuneration policy, which will be approved in the Company's shareholders' meeting during 1st quarter of 2024.
The internal audit function regularly checks compliance with the core principles on remuneration. Based on the audit results, action plans are prepared to address the identified weaknesses in the internal control system and to implement improvements.
One high risk deficiency, which has been resolved at the time of this report, was identified during the most recent inspection. The remaining deficiencies identified by the internal audit were of low and one of medium residual risk.
The remuneration structure of the Group and the Company consists of three components:
- base salary;
- -
- other additional benefits
The fixed part of the remuneration consists of a part of the salary that is independent of the employee's individual performance , the conditions for granting of which do not depend on the individual performance. The fixed part of the remuneration is determined by considering the employee's level of education, professional experience, position, duties and responsibilities. This is usually the salay. For the members of the Management Board and Supervisory Council, it also includes a fixed remuneration.
Other additional benefits in monetary and non-monetary form that are included in the standard remuneration package for employees and members of the Management Board and the Supervisory Council are considered by the Management Board to be part of the fixed remuneration and include, for example, contributionsfor employees to a private pension fund, health insurance, material benefits in exceptional circumstances, use of mobile phones purchased by the Group and the Company and/or payment of mobile-related expenses, additional holidays, paid participation in seminars, training sessions, etc..

The variable part of remuneration consists of the part of remuneration depending on the individual performance of the employee, the structure of which consists of bonuses and allowances. The variable part of the remuneration is awarded on the basis of the employee's individual performance.
During 2023, the variable part of the remuneration of sales specialists and sales team leads was based on the individual performance of the employee, which was determined and paid monthly on the basis of IPAS INDEXO rules on working hours, remuneration, bonuses and training for sales specialists. The variable remuneration paid to sales specialists and sales team leads in 2023 did not exceed the policy limit of 500% of the employee's annual variable remuneration. Lump-sum bonuses were paid to certain members of the Company's administration, including positions with an impact on risk profile, in line with individual contributions; the amounts paid in bonuses did not exceed the limit set in the Remuneration policy of 100% of annual fixed remuneration, nor was the threshold set in the policy for deferring the variable component for at least 3 years reached.

The Group capitalises the variable compensation (including employer's social security contributions) of specialists involved in customer acquisition. The capitalised expenses are amortised over a period of seven years.
According to the data of the State Social Insurance Agency, in the reporting period, on average 7% of participants in the investment plans managed by the Group opted for other investment plans registered in Latvia, while 93% of participants remained in the plans managed by INDEXO. This means that if this indicator remains unchanged in the coming years, a participant of the investment plans managed by the Group will remain a client of INDEXO for about 12-14 years on average. Therefore, the Group believes that the amortisation of the variable compensation of customer acquisition specialists related to customer acquisition over a period of seven years is appropriate.

32. Events after the end of the reporting period
1. Secondary Public Offering
On December 29, 2023, the secondary public offering concluded, resulting in an additional capital raise of 9.011 million EUR, necessary for obtaining the Banking license and commencing operations. On January 10, 2024, the capital of IPAS was increased by this amount. According to the Bank Development Business Plan, the capital of IDX R was increased by 10 million EUR on January 30, 2024. Consequently, in January 2024, IDX1R repaid the loan received from IPAS "Indexo" in the amount of 700 thousand EUR.
2. Investment Commitment Letters
At the beginning of 2024, INDEXO received investment letters from nine investors amounting to 4.02 million EUR. These commitment letters are valid for 18 months, and INDEXO paid a 5% commission fee to these investors for assuming the commitments. These investment commitment letters will be used for capital raising only if further capital raising on the public capital market cannot be implemented on more favourable terms.
- Employee Stock Option Exercise
On February 16, 2024, as a result of the employee stock option exercise, a share issuance was made, resulting in share capital increase of IPAS "Indexo" by 19 000 EUR.
- Banking License
IPAS "Indexo" has submitted application documents for obtaining a new license for the operation of INDEXO Bank. As of the signing date of this report, the banking license has not yet been received, but a confirmation has been received from the Bank of Latvia and the European Central Bank that the documents submitted by INDEXO are complete. The Bank of Latvia also indicates that the expected deadline for the application review is April 22 of this year.
According to the terms of the 2021 IPO prospectus, if the license is not received within two years, INDEXO must proceed with share buyback. This provision will come into effect in July of this year. Management maintains regular communication with the Bank of Latvia and is positively inclined that there are no obstacles to obtaining the license by the time this provision comes into effect.
Management is confident that in the unlikely event of the need to carry out the initial share issuance buyback, INDEXO has sufficient funds for the buyback. The necessary funds would be allocated from the proceeds of the secondary public offering and, if necessary, from other sources, as the INDEXO pension business continues to run successfully.
INDEXO has capitalized software expenses related to Banking operations in total of 1.88 million EUR by the end of the year, nearly half of which are investments in mobile application development. The recoverability of these investments is assessed based on the Bank's business plan. In the event of nonreceipt of the license, these investments may result in a significant decrease in value.
- Long-Term Lease Agreement
On January 25, 2024, INDEXO Group signed a long-term lease agreement for office space with the VERDE office complex, where all INDEXO Group employees will be relocated this year, and where the future customer service centre of INDEXO Bank will also be located.
The financial statements were authorised for issue on 26 February 2024 and signed for and on behalf of the Management Board of the Company by:

Overall Company materiality: EUR 90 thousand, which represents approximately 1% of net assets. We have audited the separate financial statements of the Company. Materiality Group scoping
- We have performed selected audit procedures over the significant balances and transactions of other subsidiaries.
- Our audit scope covered substantially all of the Group's revenue and substantially all of the Group's total assets.
- Commission and fee income (the Group and the Company)
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements. In particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
Key audit matters
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They 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 the financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall Group and Company materiality separately for the consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate on the financial statements as a whole.
| Overall materiality | Overall materiality applied to the Group was EUR 120 thousand and to the Company was EUR 90 thousand. |
|---|---|
| How we determined it | Approximately 5% of the Group's loss before tax for 2023 and approximately 1% of the Company's net assets at 31 December 2023. |

Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied We chose the Group's loss before tax because, in our view, it is the benchmark which is most appropriate in the circumstances where the Group's established subsidiary is focused on bank's development, not generating income from economic activity but concluding the year with a loss of EUR 2,569 thousand, which represents approximately 89% of the Group's loss before tax. We chose the Company's net assets because, in our view, it is the benchmark which is most appropriate for an asset management business where sufficiency of regulatory capital is of most importance in the first years of operations while assets under
We chose 5% for loss before tax and 1% for net assets, which is within the range of accepted quantitative materiality thresholds for a public interest entity.
management reach the volumes to generate sufficient income.
We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements identified during our audit above EUR 12 thousand for the Group and EUR 9 thousand for the Company, as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on this matter.
Key audit matter How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Commission and fee income
Refer to Note 4 "Commission and fee income" of the financial statements.
Commission and fee income is the main source of external revenue for the Group and the Company, therefore verification of the occurrence and accuracy of commission and fee income was the main focus area of our audit.
Remuneration for the management of the state funded pension scheme (SFPS) investment plans and private pension plans is calculated by multiplying the amount of interest specified in the plans' prospectuses by the average net asset value per year. The management fee is calculated and accumulated daily, but settlement is made once a month. The prospectus of the state funded pension plans and private pension plans do not foresee We assessed that the Group's and the Company's accounting policies in relation to commission and fee income recognition are based on IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.
We selected a sample of the transactions and verified the accuracy of commission and fee calculation by multiplying the net assets of the plan with the percentages specified in the prospectus of the respective plan. We reconciled the results of our testing with those recognised by the Group and the Company.
We also performed substantive testing over completeness and accuracy of the net assets of the plans to ensure the underlying data used in calculation of the commission and fee income is reliable.
We also verified supporting documents to confirm

performance fee income. the occurrence of the transactions and that the commission and fee income was recorded in the correct service period. We also verified that the Group's and the Company's managed state funded and private pension plans' performance fee as determined in the prospectus is nil. We tested the disclosures in the financial statements in respect of commission and fee income.
How we tailored our Group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole, taking into account the structure of the Group, the accounting processes and controls and the industry in which the Group operates.
The Group engagement team carried out audit work on the Company's financial statements and performed selected audit procedures over the significant balances and transactions of other subsidiaries. Our audit work addressed substantially all of the Group's revenues and the Group's total assets.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the 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 Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group's and the Company's financial reporting process.
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 the

aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group or the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Report on the compliance of the presentation of consolidated financial statements with the requirements of the European Single Electronic Format ("ESEF")
We have been engaged based on our agreement of 23 February 2024 by the Management Board of the Company to conduct a reasonable assurance engagement for the verification of compliance with the applicable requirements of the presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 (the "Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements").
Description of a subject matter and applicable criteria
The Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements has been applied by the Management Board of the Company to comply with the requirements of art. 3 and 4 of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the specification of a single electronic reporting format (the "ESEF Regulation"). The applicable requirements regarding the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements are contained in the ESEF Regulation.
The requirements described in the preceding sentence determine the basis for application of the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements and, in our view, constitute appropriate criteria to form a reasonable assurance conclusion.
Responsibility of the Management Board and the Council
The Management Board of the Company is responsible for the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements that complies with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
This responsibility includes the selection and application of appropriate markups in iXBRL using ESEF taxonomy and designing, implementing and maintaining internal controls relevant for the preparation of the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements which is free from material noncompliance with the requirements of the ESEF Regulation.
Members of the Council are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process, which should also be understood as the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with the format resulting from the ESEF Regulation.
Our responsibility
Our responsibility was to express a reasonable assurance conclusion whether the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements complies, in all material respects, with the ESEF Regulation.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000 (R) - 'Assurance Engagements other than Audits and Reviews of Historical Financial Information' (ISAE 3000(R)). This standard requires that we comply with ethical requirements, plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements complies, in all material aspects, with the applicable requirements.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it does not guarantee that the service performed in accordance with ISAE 3000 (R) will always detect the existing material misstatement (significant non-compliance with the requirements).
Quality management requirements and professional ethics

We apply International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
We comply with the independence and other ethical requirements of the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour.
Summary of the work performed
Our planned and performed procedures were aimed at obtaining reasonable assurance that the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements complies, in all material aspects, with the applicable requirements and such compliance is free from material errors or omissions. Our procedures included in particular:
- obtaining an understanding of the internal control system and processes relevant to the application of the Electronic Reporting Format of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the preparation of the XHTML format and marking up the consolidated financial statements;
- verification whether the XHTML format was applied properly;
- evaluating the completeness of marking up the consolidated financial statements using the iXBRL markup language according to the requirements of the implementation of electronic format as described in the ESEF Regulation;
- evaluating the appropriateness of the Group's' use of XBRL markups selected from the ESEF taxonomy and the creation of extension markups where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy has been identified; and
- evaluating the appropriateness of anchoring of the extension elements to the ESEF taxonomy.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our conclusion.
Conclusion
In our opinion, based on the procedures performed, the Presentation of the Consolidated Financial Statements complies, in all material respects, with the ESEF Regulation.
