Comments by the CEO

NAXS continues to hold a significant portion of its assets in cash and cash equivalents (SEK 17,90 per share). NAXS financial performance in Q1 is driven largely by a higher valuation of three of our underlying funds in addition to a public cash offer made for Norva24 in which NAXS owns a portion through its Valedo II investment. To date, NAXS has not seen any material impacts on its portfolio from the increased volatility experienced in most financial markets this year. The company is continuing to evaluate opportunities presented its investment advisor Naccess Partners AB.

Disclosure of fair value measurement by level in the following fair value hierarchy:

Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Observable data for the asset or liabilities other than quoted prices included in tier 1, either directly (i.e. as price quotations) or indirectly (i.e. derived from price quotations).

Level 3 – Data for the asset or liability that is not based on observable market data (i.e. unobservable data). All NAXS investments in fund units have been classified in level 3 because they have no observable inputs and because they are rarely or not traded at all in an active market.

The book value for all of NAXS's financial assets and liabilities is consistent with or is a reasonable estimate of fair value. All amounts are shown in the reported balance sheets. NAXS's private equity fund

investments are classified in Level 3. The Company's specific valuation techniques and critical estimates are reported under accounting policies. In level 3, unlisted units in investment funds are reported. The company's holdings in unlisted investment funds (socalled Private equity funds) are valued using an alternative valuation method for which observable input data is not available. For private equity funds, valuation is based on rates and unit values received from the fund manager. The valuation follows accepted valuation principles for calculating fair values. The fair value is calculated by the underlying assets being market-valued and priced by the fund manager. The funds follow the IPEV Valuation Guidelines when valuing their holdings. The International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation (IPEV) Guidelines set out recommendations, intended to represent current best practice, on the valuation of Private Capital Investments. If NAXS assesses that the fund managers valuation has not sufficiently taken into account factors that affect the value of the underlying holdings or if the valuation made is deemed to deviate significantly from the accounting principles for valuation at fair value, an adjustment is made to the value. Listed holdings held by the funds are

valued based on the share price of the respective holdings on the balance sheet date. At the end of the interim period, the company has not adjusted the fund managers valuations to any material extent.

Based on the controls applied, NAXS considers that the fair values recognised in the balance sheet and changes in fair value recognised in the income statement are well prepared and balanced and reflect the underlying economic values, while at the same time recognizing that there are several factors that could adversely affect the valuation of the balance sheet and the fund holdings including but not limited to macroeconomic conditions, geopolitical events, market liquidity, changes in interest rates, and other unforeseen developments that may impact the valuation of underlying assets and investments. Additionally, non-systemic risks, such as the potential for valuation assumptions or methodologies to be overly optimistic or misaligned with market realities, could also influence the reported values. Review of valuations of fund holding is also made by Naccess Partners AB which provide quarterly an annual review of the reports received from the respective fund managers including valuation.

Definitions and Alternative performance measures

NAXS applies the guidelines issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) for alternative key ratios. Alternative key figures are financial measures of historical or future earnings trend, financial position, financial results, or cash flows that are not defined or specified in the applicable rules for financial reporting.

Alternative key ratios are stated when, in their context, they provide clearer or more in-depth information than the measures defined in applicable financial reporting rules. The alternative key figures

are derived from the consolidated financial statements. Alternative key ratios are stated when, in their context, they supplement the measures de-fined in IFRS. The starting point for the provided alternative key figures is that they are used by management to assess the financial development and are thus considered to provide valuable information to analysts and other stakeholders. NAXS regularly uses alternative key ratios as a complement to those key ratios that generally constitute good accounting practice.
