Dear shareholder,
Herewith we present New Sources Energy N.V.'s annual report 2023.
After a thorough reorganisation during the financial year of 2023, we are now in position for initiating new business activities in 2024.
New Sources Energy N.V. has a climate mission and is the only listed company on the Euronext Amsterdam exclusively focussing on investing in energy transition assets.
We are optimistic about the rich deal environment being presented by the global energy transition towards net-zero. Specifically, the set of energy transition opportunities in the Netherlands looks ever more compelling. NSE's team and its partners have a broad and deep engagement with high-quality leaders in industry and at the technical universities and have calibrated their focus on real businesses providing scalable renewable energy solutions.
Our investment team focuses on high growth companies, prioritising companies which, besides positive climate impact, foster both cash flow as well as long term growth potential. In 2024 we will make our best efforts to engage with these investment opportunities and conclude transactions to acquire valuable energy transition assets in order to position ourselves on a path of growth.

needed to bring to market clean technologies for parts of the energy system where emissions are harder to tackle, such as heavy industry and long-distance transport. Positive steps on innovation have been made in the past few years, but a further acceleration is needed to soon bring to market more low-emissions technologies for these areas."
Amsterdam, 26 April 2024
Drs L.A. Vereecken RA Chief Executive Officer New Sources Energy N.V.
While there were many international challenges to improve energy security and tackle emissions, it is encouraging to observe that climate transition investments surged to a new record in 2023. The IEA reported that we are on track to see all fossil fuels peak before 2030, and against this complex backdrop, the emergence of a new clean energy economy provides hope for the way forward. However, it remains key to find and finance low-emissions ways to meet rising energy demand in the developed and especially developing economies.
After a successful reorganisation in 2023, New Sources Energy N.V. started the new year in a promising position with an array of attractive potential opportunities that could be steered to successful transactions. Currently, our board and its advisors continue to work through all of the potential renewable energy opportunities. The Company's chances of concluding a successful transaction are only a function of time.
Our board is extremely hopeful that the global investor community continues to find the confidence and conviction to sustain energy transition investments at the levels needed to secure net-zero, with all the environmental, social and economic benefits that would bring.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Company's annual report. The Company's annual report comprises the management report and the financial statements. The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report in accordance with applicable law and regulations. The directors are required by law to prepare the annual report for each financial year. The directors have prepared the annual report in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union and the relevant provisions of the Dutch Civil Code. The directors must not approve the annual report unless they are satisfied that it gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing the annual report, the directors are required to:
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the annual report complies with applicable law. The directors have assessed whether the risk assessment executed showed any material failings in the effectiveness of the Company's internal risk management and control systems. Though such systems are designed to manage and control risks, they can provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatements. Based on this assessment, to the best of our knowledge and belief, no material failings of the effectiveness of the Company's internal risk management and control systems occurred and the internal risk and control systems provides reasonable assurance that the 2023 financial statements do not contain any errors of material importance.
With reference to section 5.25c paragraph 2c of the Dutch Act on Supervision, each of the Directors, whose names and functions are listed in the Board of Directors section, confirm that, to the best of their knowledge:
After conducting a review of management analysis, the directors have reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, the directors consider it appropriate to adopt the going-concern basis in preparing the annual report.

New Sources Energy N.V. (the "Company") is a public limited liability company domiciled in the Netherlands. The Company was incorporated in the Netherlands. The Company's registered office is at Apollolaan 151, 1077AR Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Company was founded on 26 October 1978 and is registered in the Trade Register at the Chamber of Commerce under number 33154205.
The Company is publicly listed at the Euronext Amsterdam stock exchange.
These consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group" and individually "Group companies"). The Company is a holding company. The main activities of the group of which the Company is the parent are related to investments in renewable energy assets. The activities of the Company and the Group are focussing on the market of the European Union.
These financial statements cover the year 2023, which ended at the balance sheet date of 31 December 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption.
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed by the European Union (EU-IFRS) and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
The significant accounting policies applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied throughout the period and to each subsidiary within the Group.
The consolidated financial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 26 April 2024.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost convention except where stated.
These consolidated financial statements are presented in euro, which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgements and estimates about the future, including climate-related risks and opportunities, that affect the application of the Group's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are consistent with the Group's risk management and climate-related commitments where appropriate. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively.
Information about judgements made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is not included in any notes.
Information about assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the year ended 31 December 2023 is included in the following notes:
Note 6: Other receivables with possible collection risks
There were no changes in material accounting policies.
During 2023, the Group decided to correct the deferred tax receivable. As a consequence of not being profitable, the receivable has been overstated. These errors have been corrected by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for prior periods. The following tables summarise the impacts on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
| 1 January 2022 | As previously reported |
Adjustments | As restated |
|---|---|---|---|
| € 1.000 | € 1.000 | € 1.000 | |
| Deferred tax assets | 88 | -88 | - |
| Total non-current assets | 88 | -88 | - |
| Reserves required by the Articles of Association | -19.002 | -88 | -19.090 |
| Total equity reserves | -19.002 | -88 | -19.002 |
The Group has consistently applied the following accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements, except if mentioned otherwise.
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Changes in the Group's interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the Group's interests and the noncontrolling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the noncontrolling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the gain or loss on disposal recognised in profit or loss is calculated as the difference between (i) the aggregate of the fair value of the consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the previous carrying amount of the assets (including goodwill), less liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities of the subsidiary (i.e. reclassified to profit or loss or transferred to another category of equity as required/permitted by applicable IFRS Standards). The fair value of any investment retained in the former subsidiary at the date when control is lost is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition for subsequent accounting under IFRS 9 when applicable, or the cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
Transactions and balances between entities forming part of the Group together with any unrealised income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions are eliminated in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group. Unrealized gains on transactions between Group entities are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
Trade receivables are initially recognised when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at Fair Value through Profit and Loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortised cost; Fair Value through OCI (FVOCI) – debt investment; FVOCI – equity investment; or FVTPL.
Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Group changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level because this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognised in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognised in profit or loss.
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
If the Group enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognised in its statement of financial position, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognised.
The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Group also derecognises a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognised at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of financial position when, and only when, the Group currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
The share capital consists of common shares.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of common shares, net of any tax effects, are recognised as a deduction from equity. Income tax relating to transaction costs of an equity transaction is accounted for in accordance with IAS 12.
IFRS 9 requires entities to assess on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses associated with their debt instruments carried at amortised cost. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
Loss allowances for trade receivables are measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis, based on the Group's historical experience and informed credit assessment and including forward-looking information.
The Group assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 30 days past due.
The Group considers a financial asset to be in default when:
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
The Group's assets subject to credit risk in the scope of IFRS 9 include, cash and cash equivalents and other receivables.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive).
When the time value of money is material, ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For customers, the Group individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery.
Cash comprises cash on hand, current accounts with banks, deposits held at call with banks, and other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less. For the purposes of the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits defined above. Cash and cash equivalents are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently at amortised costs.
Operating profit/loss is the result generated from the continuing principal revenue producing activities of the Group as well as other income and expenses related to operating activities. Operating profit/loss excludes net finance costs and income taxes.
The Group's finance income and finance costs include:
Interest expense is recognised using the effective interest method. The 'effective interest rate' is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of the financial instrument to:
In calculating interest expense, the effective interest rate is applied to the amortised cost of the liability. If the Group revises its estimates of payments, it recalculates amortised cost of the financial liability as the present value of the estimated future contractual cash flows that are discounted at the financial instrument's original effective interest rate. The adjustment is recognised in profit or loss as income or expense.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in OCI.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatments, are accounted for under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.
Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.
The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using listed share price.
That cost is recognised in other expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group's best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.

All current liabilities fall due in less than one year. The carrying amount of trade and other payables is considered a reasonable approximation of their respective fair value, due to their short-term nature.
The AGM of 17 January 2023 agreed to two financial instruments:

Total financial liabilities 44 216
Financial instruments not measured at fair value includes shareholder loans, cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, trade and other payables, and loans and borrowings.
Due to their short-term nature, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, and trade and other payables approximates their fair value.
The Group is exposed to credit risk liquidity risk, and interest rate risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by the board of directors of the Company and of relevant subsidiaries.
The Group is exposed to credit related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to financial instruments, but does not expect any counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.
Credit risk arises from Cash and cash equivalents, and other receivables. The Group has policies in place to ensure that transactions are made to parties with an appropriate credit history. Cash transactions are limited to high credit quality financial institutions.
The Group applies IFRS 9. IFRS 9 establishes a three-stage impairment model, based on whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk of a financial asset since its initial recognition. These three stages then determine the amount of impairment to be recognised as expected credit losses (ECL) (as well as the amount of interest income to be recorded) at each reporting date:
— Stage 1: Credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition – recognise 12 months ECL (i.e., the portion of lifetime ECLs that represent the ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date), and recognise interest on a gross basis
The Group considers the probability of default upon initial recognition of asset and whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on an ongoing basis throughout each reporting period. To assess whether there is significant increase in credit risk the Group compares the risk of a default occurring on the asset at the reporting date with the risk of default as the date of initial recognition.
For other receivables (with a maturity of 12 months or less), 'lifetime expected credit losses' are recognised (the 'simplified approach') and is determined to be nil due to the sort time period and the carrying value of the collateral .
The Group's maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the statement of financial position is the carrying amounts as shown below:
| Other receivables | € 1,000 111 |
€ 1,000 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and cash equivalents | 25 | 17 |
| 137 | 23 |
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Group's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when they are due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses.
The following are the undiscounted contractual maturities of the financial liabilities, including estimated interest payments as at the reporting date per 2023:
| Carrying amount € 1,000 |
Contractual cash flows € 1,000 |

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimising the return. The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates is primarily limited to cash balances on which interest is earned.
If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group's profit for the year ended 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022 would be impacted as follows:
| € 1,000 |
Interest rate + 100bp | Interest rate – 100bp |
|---|---|---|
| Loss for the year or Equity ended 31 December 2023 |
5,00% | 5,00% |
| € 1,000 loss for the year or Equity ended 31 |
Interest rate + 100bp | Interest rate – 100bp |
| December 2022 | EURIBOR+7,00% | EURIBOR+7,00% |
The analysis presented above is excluding the impact of taxes.
The Group manages its net debt (total cash divided by gross debt) as capital. The Group's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, to provide returns for shareholders, to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of debt and to meet its financial covenants.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
