ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Letter from the CEO

SmartCraft simplifies business for construction companies and craftsmen. We free up time for construction companies, so they can generate additional revenue or simply spend more precious quality time with their families. SmartCraft offers best of breed software. We have a proud history going back to 1989 and we have deep competence in the niches we focus on. Our employees accumulate more than 1000 years of experience in developing solutions to solve the specific needs of electricians, painters and plumbers. Our solutions are available on most devices to suit our customer needs. We support mobile phones or iPads for workers out in the field and have a rich web client for people that work at the office.

We still see that many small and medium sized construction- and craftsmen companies have a huge potential for digitalization. In fact, this industry is among the least digitalized. It is our firm belief that construction companies prioritizing to digitalize and modernize their business processes will be the future winners in the construction industry. At the same time, it is a fact that our take rate of customer’s wallet is very low. We expect that the potential market size is around NOK 10.5 billion in the Nordics alone. This implies an expected 15% annual growth in the period 2020-2025 and we are deeply committed to remain a leading player and a driving force in the industry going forward.

2021 was SmartCraft’s first year as a listed company, with a clear strategy to continue our organic and M&A driven growth, high profitability and strong margins. During the year we acquired HomeRun and Kvalitetskontroll, broadening our geographical footprint and strengthening our product portfolio. Financially, our revenue growth was strong, whereas our adjusted EBITDA margin in 2021 was 40%, which is in line with our medium-term guiding.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021

Our main performance indicator, Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) has increased organically by 17% in 2021 and we see an ARR of NOK 267 million at the end of the year. The strong growth combined with a low churn level at stable 6% and the fact that 95% of our revenue is recurring puts us in a very good position.

Looking ahead, we continue to follow our strategy of profitable organic growth and M&A driven consolidation. We have a strong financial foundation following the successful listing on Oslo Børs in 2021, providing a solid balance sheet and a broad, international investor base. Hence, our growth strategy is fully funded, and our operating cash flow is strong.

Our primary focus going forward is organic growth in the Nordics through upsell to existing customers, by winning new customers and by cross selling on our customer bases. Secondly, we are pursuing M&A opportunities both in existing and new geographies and are in dialogue with several companies. At the same time, we are patient. Capital discipline has high priority, and we will only pursue the right acquisition target at the right price.

Our medium-term targets of annual organic revenue growth of 15-20% and growing EBITDA margins due to scalability of the business stay firm. With a well-aligned organization following a range of acquisitions, we are now in an excellent position to continue to deliver on our strategy. We are looking forward to continuing to lead the way in digitalization of construction.

Statement of the Board of Directors

Activities

The SmartCraft Group provides software solutions for the construction industry in Norway, Sweden and Finland. The parent company is SmartCraft ASA with head office in Ålesund, Norway. SmartCraft ASA owns 100% of the shares in the subsidiaries. In addition to the parent company the Group has 3 companies in Norway, 3 companies in Sweden and 2 companies in Finland. In 2021 SmartCraft AS became SmartCraft ASA as it changed from a private limited company to a public limited company. The company was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange “Oslo Børs” in June. The Group has an active M&A strategy and has acquired complementary companies and solutions the last years. In 2021 the Group acquired the solutions HomeRun and Kvalitetskontroll.

Strategy And Objectives

The overall mission for the Group is to simplify business for craftsmen. To accomplish this SmartCraft has gathered several of the leading providers of digital solutions to the construction business ranging from quality and risk management software, procurement management and project management tools. This way we can provide specialized best-of-breed solutions that exactly fits our customers’ needs.

The Group has a strategy to ensure sustained capital efficiency and profitable growth for the Group by continue to capitalize on the market leading position and underpenetrated Nordic market. A strong industry focus, leading SaaS solution and an efficient sales organization ensure great sales execution with low customer touch. We strongly believe in a robust business model and are pleased to see that recurring revenue in 2021 has increased to 95% of the total revenue compared to 93% in 2020. This combined with a consistent and low churn at 6%, net cash positive and the fact that we are self-funded puts us in a great position to create further shareholder value.

The Group has many opportunities to upsell on our 11 000 customer base and 115 000 users and will continue to explore these in the short and medium term. We are looking to integrate and synergize our solutions where it makes sense. However, we are pragmatic and do not want to jeopardize the uniqueness, flow and functionalities in our solutions at any cost, but will capitalize on areas where it benefits our customers.

The Group has successfully acquired and consolidated Homerunbynet Oy, SmartCraft Norway AS and Kvalitetskontroll AS during 2021. We will continue to execute on our M&A strategy; There are no changes in the activities related to M&A going forward and the Group still has an active strategy and focus on growth through acquisitions in addition to the organic growth.

Group Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statement for 2021 for the SmartCraft Group is prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and Norwegian authorities and effective as of December 31st 2021. These financial statements also provide disclosures as specified under the Norwegian Accounting Act (Regnskapsloven).

In the Board’s opinion, the financial statements provide an accurate view of the company’s financial position at the end of the fiscal year. The SmartCraft Group provides software solutions for the construction industry. As one of the least digitalized industries, the Group’s solutions simplifies and streamlines daily operations for its customers. In 2021 the Group had a revenue of TNOK 270 762 (TNOK 195 941 in 2020), a total growth of 38% and an organic growth of 15%. As the organic growth was offset by a strategic decrease in non-recurring revenue, the Group is expecting higher organic growth going forward with the strong customer base, high recurring revenue and low churn.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021

During 2021 SmartCraft ASA prepared an IPO and completed the process to be listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange which affected EBITDA in a total of TNOK 21 737. EBITDA, adjusted for cost related to the IPO/restructuring and acquisitions costs, is TNOK 108 671 in 2021 (TNOK 80 934 in 2020). The total EBITDA is TNOK 80 312 in 2021 (TNOK 76 663 in 2020). Total depreciation and amortization of tangible and intangible assets in 2021 is TNOK 22 726 (TNOK 17 053 in 2020) and operating profit is TNOK 57 586 (TNOK 59 610 in 2020). Profit before tax is TNOK 48 867 in 2021 (TNOK 52 438 in 2020).The decrease in profit before tax is mainly due to the non-recurring costs related to the listing process. There is also some negative effects from the development in foreign exchange currency as the Group is exposed to fluctuations in NOK compared to SEK and EUR. Net cash provided from operational activities was TNOK 106 525 in 2021 (TNOK 98 466 in 2020), a growth of 8.2%. The increase in net cash provided from operational activities is primarily due to growth, with increased profit and increased deferred revenue as well as an increase in other current liabilities. Net cash outflows from investing activities were TNOK 99 465 in 2021 (TNOK 85 066 in 2020). This is primarily connected to the acquisition of Homerunbynet Oy and Kvalitetskontroll AS together with capitalized development cost on the Group of a total of TNOK 21 737 (TNOK 11 579 in 2020). Net cash inflows from financing activities are highly affected by the capital increases when the company was listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange together with the redeeming of preference shares and repayments of loan facilities. In total the net cash provided by financing activities were TNOK 73 896 in 2021 (TNOK 33 225 in 2020). In the Board’s opinion the Group’s liquidity is solid and the Group has sufficient funds to settle all obligations when due. As of December 31st 2021 the Group had cash and cash equivalents of TNOK 156 277 (TNOK 79 902 as of December 31st 2020). The Group had a loan facility in 2020 that was repaid during 2021 but has an unused credit facility in connection with the cash pool established between the Norwegian companies of TNOK 13 000. As of December 31st 2021 the Group is net cash positive and enables the Group to continue investing in growth and development in existing solutions and potential new solutions. Shareholders’ equity was TNOK 701 685 as of December 31st 2021 with an equity ratio of 79% (TNOK 323 914 as of December 31st 2020). This gives an increase in the equity ratio of 32%-points compared to December 31st 2020. The increase is due to capital increases performed in 2021 as well as the profit for 2021. The decrease in other components of equity is due to currency exchange differences when consolidating subsidiaries with functional currency other than NOK.

Smartcraft ASA Financial Statement

The financial statement for 2021 for SmartCraft ASA is prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. In the Board’s opinion, the financial statements provide an accurate view of the company’s financial position at the end of the fiscal year. SmartCraft ASA is the parent company of the SmartCraft Group. Revenues in the company is solely management fees from the subsidiaries. SmartCraft ASA had a total revenue of TNOK 8 292 in 2021 (TNOK 3 662 in 2020), and profit of TNOK 32 206 (TNOK 9 907 in 2020). As of December 31st 2021 the company has a total equity of TNOK 654 155 with an equity ratio of 98.9%. In the Board’s opinion the company’s liquidity is satisfactory and the company has sufficient funds to settle all obligations when due.

Risk Management And Internal Control

The Group is subject to various types of risks relating to operations and finance. The Group’s risk management system shall ensure a systematic and uniform approach to identify, evaluate and mitigate risks, and describe processes and internal control actions.

Operational risks

The Group’s operations involve development and maintenance of software solutions sold to a third-party. Trends within the software industry can affect the overall level of demand for IT services and accordingly have an effect

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 8

on the Group’s sales. Further the ability to attract and retain sufficient competent personnel to secure the Group’s ability to further develop existing and new solutions are crucial to the Group’s operations. The Group has during 2021 hired a Group Chief Technical Officer that will oversee the technical resources within the Group and assess any measures if needed. A significant part of the Group’s growth is through acquisitions. The inability to secure an acquisition in line with the Group’s product portfolio, technology and culture could result in negative effects in operational focus and financial performance. A thorough and tested M&A and onboarding process has historically limited any negative effects of acquisitions. Volatile, negative or uncertain economic or political conditions may have a negative effect on the Group’s operations and financial performance. Such events may result in loss of revenue as customer stop buying the solution, or increased costs if the Group needs to change to a more expensive business operation to keep the services running. The recent years’ pandemic and war has had relatively limited effects on the Group, although in the uncertainty of the situation we consider the risk as moderate.

Financial risks

As the Group operates internationally it is exposed to other currencies than NOK (functional currency). However, there is a natural hedge on the currency exchange risk as all operating entities have material costs and revenue in their functional currency, and the Group has both assets and liabilities in foreign currency. The currency risk is considered low/moderate. The active M&A strategy is a significant contributor to the Group’s growth. As the Group’s profitability and financial position may fluctuate, as well as the tech sector specifically and general financial market changes, there is a risk of the Group not being able to obtain funding on favorable terms. In this event, the use of a larger portion of the Group’s cash will reduce the Group’s funds available for operations or future business opportunities. The risk is considered moderate. Credit risk is considered low as the Group invoice its services upfront and can swiftly block access to non-paying customers. The Group’s customers are however operating in the same industry, exposing the Group to general market/ industry risk. On historical basis the market risk is considered low. The Group has ample cash to support operations and cover its current liabilities.

Working Environment, Equal Opportunities And Discrimination

The SmartCraft Group has 185 employees as of December 31st 2021. There has been no reported work-related injuries or accidents in 2021. Absence due to sickness was 7.1%. The Group’s human resource policy is based on equal rights for all, and there is no difference in treatment on any basis in terms of salary or recruitment. As of December 31st 2021 there are 8 men and 1 woman in General Manager positions including the Group executive suite. SmartCraft ASA has 4 employees as of December 31st 2021. There has been no reported work-related injuries or accidents in 2021. There was no absence due to sickness. The company’s human resource policy is based on equal rights for all, and there is no difference in treatment on any basis in terms of salary or recruitment.

Going Concern Assumption

In accordance with the Norwegian accounting act, the Board confirms that the accounts have been prepared in conformity with the going concern assumption and this assumption is valid.

Subsequent Events

The start of the war in Ukraine in February 2022 caused a high level of uncertainty in the market. The war has had an impact in the global economy that could also affect the SmartCraft Group’s operating costs going forward in 2022 due to increased inflation. However, we expect to offset potential cost increases to SmartCraft by increasing the price of our solutions, and therefore we do not see any significant impacts on the Group. There have been no significant subsequent events that could affect the Group’s financial statements as of December 31st 2021.

Shareholders who are unable to attend the general meeting shall be given the opportunity to be represented by proxy and to vote by proxy. The Board of Directors shall in this respect, with regards to the notice of the general meeting:

  • provide information on the procedure for attending by proxy;
  • nominate a person who will be available to vote on behalf of non-attending shareholders as their proxy (normally being the chair of the Board of Directors); and
  • prepare a proxy form, which shall, to the extent possible, be set up so that it is possible to vote separately on each individual matter on the agenda and each candidate nominated for election.

Deviation from the Code of Practice: The Code recommends separate voting for candidates to the Board. However, the Board must be in accordance with applicable legislation regarding gender representation and qualifications for committee assignments. The nomination committee’s proposal is given with respect to such legislation. Should a situation arise where the composition of the Board might conflict with applicable legislation, the situation and consequences of electing a board contrary to legislation should be discussed at the General Meeting and shareholders should base their votes on the views discussed.

Nomination Committee

The Nomination Committee is governed by the Articles of Association section 10. The Extraordinary General Meeting on May 25th, 2021, elected the following two members for the Nomination Committee for the period until the Annual General Meeting in 2022: Mr. Arild Bødal (chair) and Ms. Ingeborg Avatsmark. The nomination committee does not include any executive personnel or any member of the company’s Board of Directors. Both members of the Nomination committee are independent of the Board of Directors and Group Management.

29 Notes

Note 1 Reporting Entity

The reporting entity reected in these nancial statements is comprised of SmartCraft ASA and the consolidated subsidiaries that make up the SmartCraft Group. The parent company SmartCraft ASA is a Norwegian entity and headquarters is located at Borgundfjordvegen 80, 6017 Ålesund, Norway. The Group operates with oces in Norway, Sweden and Finland. SmartCraft ASA is a software company with a portfolio of related software brands. Currently, Bygglet, Cordel, Congrid, EL-VIS, HomeRun and Kvalitetskontroll are all brands in the Group’s portfolio. The Group operates in the Nordic region and provides SaaS and subscription software solutions for construction- and craftsmen companies, with market leading positions in the Nordics.

Note 2 Basis of Preparation

The consolidated nancial statements of SmartCraft ASA and its subsidiaries are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU) and Norwegian authorities and eective as of December 31 st 2021. These nancial statements also provide disclosures as specied under the Norwegian Accounting Act (Regnskapsloven). The nancial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for certain assets, liabilities and nancial instruments, which are measured at fair value. Preparation of nancial statements including note disclosures requires management to make estimates and assumptions that aect amounts reported. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may dier from these estimates. Slight rounding dierences may occur between the nancial statements and the note disclosures. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision aects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods, or if the revision aects both current and future periods. Judgments made by management in the application of IFRS which have a signicant eect on the consolidated nancial statements and estimates, with a signicant risk of material adjustment in the next year, are discussed in note 4.

Note 3 Signicant Accounting Policies

This following description of accounting principles applies to the SmartCraft Group’s 2021 nancial reporting, including all comparative gures.# SmartCraft ASA Annual Report 2021

3.1 Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include SmartCraft ASA and subsidiaries, in which SmartCraft ASA has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity (control). Control is normally achieved through ownership, directly or indirectly, of more than 50% of the voting power. SmartCraft ASA has 100% of the voting power in all their subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are included from the date control commences until the date control ceases. There were five acquisitions completed during 2019-2021. EL-Info Group where control was commenced as of April 1st 2019, Congrid Oy as of December 1st 2020, Homerunbynet Oy as of May 1st 2021, SmartCraft Norway AS as of June 1st 2021 and Kvalitetskontroll AS as of July 1st 2021. Intercompany transactions and intercompany balances, including internal profits and unrealized gains and losses, are eliminated.

Business combinations

The acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognized separately at the acquisition date at their fair value irrespective of any non-controlling interest, and goodwill recognized to the extent the consideration exceeds identified net assets.

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized as a part of business combinations. Goodwill is initially measured either as the excess of the consideration over the SmartCraft Group’s interest or the fair value of 100% of the acquiree in excess of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets (full goodwill). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, and more frequently if indicators of possible impairment are observed, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and that are monitored for internal management purposes.

Foreign currency translation

The Group presents its financial statements in the Norwegian krone (NOK). This is also the parent company’s functional currency. Each subsidiary has local currency of their market as the functional currency. For consolidation purposes, the balance sheet figures for subsidiaries with a different functional currency have been translated at the rate applicable at the balance sheet date. The income statement has been translated at the average rate for the reported period. Exchange rate differences are recognized in equity. Changes in exchange rate are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income as they occur during the period. When investments in foreign subsidiaries are sold the accumulated exchange rate differences relating to the subsidiary are recognized in the income statement.

3.2 Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired individually or as a group are recognized at fair value when acquired. Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized at fair value separately from goodwill when they arise from contractual or legal rights or can be separated from the acquired entity and sold or transferred. Internally generated intangible assets are recognized when the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Development costs are capitalized as intangible assets at cost in accordance with IAS 38 Intangible Assets when the recognition criteria are met. Research expenditures are expensed as incurred. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are tested for impairment yearly. For intangible assets with definite useful life, SmartCraft reviews the residual value and useful life of its assets, with any estimate changes accounted for prospectively over the remaining useful life of the asset.

Research & Development

Expenses relating to research activities are recognized as they occur. Expenses relating to development activities are capitalized to the extent that the product or process is technically and commercially viable and the Group has sufficient resources to complete the development work. Expenses that are capitalized include the costs of materials, direct wage costs and a share of the directly attributable common expenses. Capitalized development costs are recognized at their cost minus accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Cost of building new features and functionality together with significant and pervasive improvements of the core platform, provided that the significant and pervasive improvements of parts or main components of the core platform will generate probable future economic benefits, are capitalized as development costs and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lifetime. A significant portion of the work that developers perform is related to the implementation of the ongoing updates that are required to maintain the products functionalities. Examples of updates include “bug fixes”, updates made to comply with changes in laws and regulations and updates made to keep pace with the latest technology trends. These costs are expensed as maintenance costs.

Customer relationship

Customer relationships are recognized as a part of business combinations and measured initially as the net present value of the lifetime revenue from existing customers less cost to fulfill the contractual obligations. Customer relationships are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected lifetime the relationship.

Software

Software is recognized both as a part of business combinations and by internal development. Acquired software in a business combination is measured at fair value. The fair value measurement is if possible based on observable market date, if such date is not available, fair value is estimated as the expected cost to develop a similar software and internally develop software are capitalized in accordance with the measurement criteria in IAS 38, and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lifetime.

Brand names

Brand names that contribute to future economic benefits are recognized separately from Goodwill as a part of business combinations. Brand names are measured using the royalty method, the management evaluates whether to have indefinite or definite useful lifetime and tested annually for impairment.

3.3 Tangible assets

Non-current assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. When assets are sold or disposed of, the gain or loss is recognized in the income statement and the carrying amount is derecognized. The cost of tangible non-current assets is the purchase price including taxes/duties and costs directly linked to preparing the asset ready for its intended use. Repair and maintenance are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they incurred. The depreciation period and method are assessed each year to ensure that the method and period used harmonies with the financial reality of the non-current asset. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts to their residual values over the estimated useful lives.

3.4 Inventory

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated sales price less the estimated transaction costs. Historical cost is calculated using first in first out principle and includes expenditures directly linked to getting the goods to their final location and condition. Foreseeable obsolescence is assessed continuously. The Group’s inventories consist solely of goods purchased for resale.

3.5 Government grants

Government grants are recognized in accordance with IAS 20 Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance. Grants are recognized when there is a reasonable assurance that SmartCraft will comply with relevant conditions and that the grants will be received. Government grants are deferred in other non-current liabilities until the associated activity is performed or expenses recognized. Grants are deducted from the cost which the grant are meant to cover. Investment grants are capitalized and recognized as a deduction of the assets carrying amount and systematically depreciated over the asset’s useful life.

3.6 Revenue from contracts with customers

At contract inception, SmartCraft identifies the promised licenses and services within the contract and determines which of those are separate performance obligations. SmartCraft performance obligations within the contracts are described below. The timing of the transfer is determined based on when the customer obtains control of the delivered licenses or services. SmartCraft generates revenue from five main sources and subcategories in total.

SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)

Revenue from SaaS subscriptions (right to access) are recognized over time, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the services.

Software subscriptions

Revenue from maintenance of on-premise software are recognized over the subscription period. Maintenance revenue are invoiced upfront with prepayment for a 12-month period.

Integrated services and bundled services

Revenue from the transactional use of integrated or bundled 3rd party services are recognized at a point in time, on the time of the services being rendered and invoiced subsequently at the end of the month.

Expert services

Revenue from the sale of support, consultancy, system set-up and other advisory services are recognized at a point in time, on the time of the services being rendered and invoiced subsequently at the end of the month. Expert services included in the SaaS and software subscriptions is not recognized as independent revenues.# ANNUAL REPORT 2021

3.7 Leasing

The Group applied IFRS 16 for the first time in 2020 using the modified retrospective approach.

Identifying a lease

At the inception of a contract, The Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Group as a lessee

For contracts that constitute, or contain a lease, the Group separates lease components if it benefits from the use of each underlying asset either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available, and the underlying asset is neither highly dependent on, nor highly interrelated with, the other underlying assets in the contract. The Group then accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract.

Recognition of leases and exemptions

At the lease commencement date, the Group recognizes a lease liability and corresponding right-of-use asset for all lease agreements in which it is the lessee, except for the following exemptions applied:

  • Short-term leases (defined as 12 months or less)
  • Low value assets (defined as less than NOK 50 000)

For these leases, the Group recognizes the lease payments as other operating expenses in the statement of profit or loss when they incur.

Lease liabilities

The lease liability is recognized at the commencement date of the lease. The Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease term represents the non-cancellable period of the lease, together with periods covered by an option either to extend or to terminate the lease when the Group is reasonably certain to exercise this option.

The lease payments included in the measurement compromise of:

  • Fixed lease payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable.
  • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date.
  • Amount expected to be payable by the Group under residual value guarantees.
  • The exercise price of a purchase option, if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option.
  • Payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Group exercising an option to terminate the lease.

The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made and remeasuring the carrying amount to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications, or to reflect adjustments in lease payments due to an adjustment in an index or rate. The Group does not include variable lease payments dependent upon an index or a rate, in the lease liability. Instead, the Group recognizes these variable lease expenses in the statement of profit or loss.

SmartCraft presents its lease liabilities as separate line items in the statement of financial position and has initially applied weighted average incremental borrowing rate in the range of 2.75% to 4.03% when recognizing the lease liability.

Right-of-use assets

The Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprise:

  • The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability recognized.
  • Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any incentives received.
  • Any initial direct costs incurred by the Group.
  • An estimate of the costs to be incurred by the Group in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, unless those costs are incurred to produce inventories.

SmartCraft applies the depreciation requirements in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment in depreciating the right-of-use asset, except that the right-of-use asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the lease term and the remaining useful life of the right-of-use asset. The Group applies IAS 36 Impairment of Assets to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.

3.8 Financial instruments

Financial assets

Financial assets represent a contractual right by the SmartCraft Group to receive cash or another financial asset in the future. Financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and withheld cash receivable. On initial recognition, a financial asset is measured at fair value, and classified for subsequent measurement at amortized cost; at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) or at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL). Classification depends on the business model and, for some instruments, the entity’s choice. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash from the asset have expired or when SmartCraft has transferred the asset.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities represent a contractual obligation by the SmartCraft Group to deliver cash in the future and are classified as either current or non-current. Financial liabilities include the long-term loan, contingent liabilities, accounts payable and other financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value, including transaction costs directly attributable to the transaction, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation is discharged through payment or when SmartCraft is legally released from the primary responsibility for the liability.

Measurement of fair value

SmartCraft measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value for the purposes of recognition or disclosure. Non-recurring fair value measurement is used for transactions, such as business combinations, contingent consideration and other non-routine transactions. SmartCraft does not have any recurring fair value measurement as the Group does not have any derivative financial instruments, equity investments or other similar financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value.

3.9 Employee benefit expense

Payments to employees, such as wages, salaries, social security contributions, paid annual leave and bonus agreements are accrued in the period in which the associated services are rendered by the employee. All Group companies have defined contribution pension plans. The Group has no other obligations after payment of the pension premium has been made. The pension premiums are charged to expenses as they are incurred. The company has established a pension scheme as required by Norwegian law for employees in the Norwegian entities.

3.10 Current and deferred income tax

The income tax expense consists of tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax liability/tax assets are calculated on all taxable temporary differences, except for goodwill for which amortization is not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that the company will have sufficient profit for tax purposes to utilize the tax asset. SmartCraft recognizes formerly unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent that it has become probable that the Group can utilize the deferred tax asset. Similarly, the company reduces its deferred tax assets to the extent that it can no longer utilize these. Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are measured based on the expected future tax rates applicable to the companies in the Group where temporary differences have arisen. Deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are recognized at their nominal value and are classified as non-current liabilities or non-current assets in the balance sheet. The tax payable and deferred taxes are recognized directly in equity to the extent they relate to equity transactions.

3.11 Provisions

Provisions are recognized when, and only when, the Group has a valid liability (legal or estimated) because of events that have taken place and it can be proven probable (more probable than not) that a financial settlement will take place, as a result of a liability, and that the size of the amount can be measured reliably.

3.12 Changes in accounting policies and new pronouncements

There are no changes in accounting principles compared to previous years. The Group has applied all relevant IFRS standards that were in effect for 2021. None of the issued, not yet effective, accounting standards or amendments to such standards are expected to have significant effects for the SmartCraft Group’s financial reporting.

The application of accounting policies requires that management makes estimates and judgements in determining certain revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities.# ANNUAL REPORT 2021 36

Note 5 Financial Risk Disclosures

Credit risk

Credit risk for the Group consists of balances of accounts receivable in addition to cash deposits held at several banks that have a long history and credible reputations. Management believes customer risk is very low as customers generally need to pay upfront in order to receive services. As the Group has a very diverse customer base and limited customer acquisition cost as well as no material customer exposures, credit checks of new and existing customers are not deemed necessary. If existing customers are not paying for subscriptions the Group can block access to their systems. Exposure to default risk on individual customers is low as the Group has a large number of customers. However, most customers are related to the same industry and this exposes the Group to the industry specific risk. For additional information regarding loss and loss allowance, see note 15.

Liquidity risk

The Group needs to maintain enough liquidity in order to pay running operating costs. Non-current lease liabilities and non-current financial liabilities have a maturity of up to 7 years, and all other financial liabilities (current lease liabilities and accounts payable) are due within 12 months. The SmartCraft Group has ample cash to support operations and liabilities. The SmartCraft Group has no investments in equity securities and does not use financial derivatives. For information regarding future payments of liability, see note 27.

Capital management

Management believes that SmartCraft is in a growth phase with the intention of increasing market share and expand into new markets. Management will undertake M&A where it sees market growth opportunities. The Group intends to fund M&A and internal growth through current cash balances, equity, and external capital from bonds, banks and similar lenders. The Group prepares an annual detailed liquidity budget to ensure sufficient liquidity throughout the year. The Group policy is to keep its cash in a checking account. The banks where SmartCraft keeps excess liquidity are well established and reputable with a long history of holding deposits without defaults.

Interest risk

The Group has financial liabilities to lenders of TNOK 1 158 which bear an interest ranging between 3.20% and 4.96%. See notes 22 and 27 for more information. The Group has no hedging of interest risk.

Foreign exchange risk

As of December 31 st 2021 SmartCraft ASA has financial liabilities of TEUR 318 and TSEK 28 218, and financial assets of TEUR 3 831 and TSEK 59 589. Net amount in foreign currency translates to a financial asset of TNOK 54 958, and the exposure of foreign currency risk is considered low.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021 37

The Group earns revenue in NOK, SEK and EUR. All operating entities have material costs and revenue in their functional currency. This works as a natural hedge on the currency exchange risk and as such the management considers the foreign exchange risk exposure for the Group to be low/moderate.

Note 6 Business Combinations

Significant judgment in accounting for business combinations

In a business combination, consideration, assets and liabilities are recognized at estimated fair value, and any excess purchase price included in goodwill. In the businesses SmartCraft operates, fair values of individual assets and liabilities are normally not readily observable in active markets. Estimation of fair values requires the use of valuation models for acquired assets and liabilities as well as ownership interests. Such valuations are subject to numerous assumptions and are thus uncertain. The quality of fair value estimates may impact periodic depreciation and amortization of fixed assets, and assessment of possible impairment of assets and/or goodwill in future periods. The specific significant judgements for SmartCraft during 2021 include the fair value of the shares issued as consideration in the acquisition of Congrid Oy, Homerunbynet Oy and Kvalitetskontroll AS and the identification and fair value of the acquired intangible assets. These are all discussed below in the specific relevant section.

Acquisition of Homerunbynet Oy

This acquisition was financed by cash transfer, issuing equity in SmartCraft ASA with no cash consideration to the sellers and a possible earn-out. The earn-out is calculated based on achieved revenue and EBITDA for FY2021 and FY2022. Management has assessed the likelihood of achieving the earn-out for each of the fiscal years separately.

Note 12 Goodwill And Impairment Testing Of Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized as a part of business combinations. Goodwill is initially measured either as the excess of the consideration over the SmartCraft Group’s interest or the fair value of 100% of the acquiree in excess of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets (full goodwill). Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually, and more frequently if indicators of possible impairment are observed, in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Goodwill is allocated to the cash generating units or groups of cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination and that are monitored for internal management purposes. The SmartCraft Group has goodwill in connection with the acquisitions of Cordel Norge AS in 2017, the Bygglet Group in 2018, the EL-Info Group in 2019, Congrid Oy in 2020, Homerunbynet Oy and Kvalitetskontroll AS in 2021.

Accumulated impairment 31.12 - -
Net value 31.12 491 223 421 900

The goodwill is related to know-how and other non-identified assets from the acquisitions of shares in the acquired companies. Impairment testing of the goodwill is carried out at the end of the year for the respective cash generating units to which the goodwill relates to. Recoverable amount, which is determined based on the higher of the value in use or fair value, is derived from an assessment of the expected future cash flows before tax, discounted at an appropriate discount rate before tax that takes into account the maturity and risk. Recoverable amount will therefore demonstrate what the value of the asset is expected to contribute. The estimated recoverable amount exceeds the carrying amount with a significant headroom for all Cash Generating Units (CGU). No impairment losses are recognized during 2021. In connection with the impairment testing of goodwill, sensitivity analysis has been carried out. The sensitivity analysis has tested changes in WACC, revenue growth rates, net working capital and EBITDA margins. There is significant headroom on all CGUs. Estimates relating to the impairment test are as follows:

The 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is the rate of return that is required for an investment to grow from its beginning balance to its ending balance five years later. The calculation assumes that profits are reinvested at the end of each period. When testing for impairment the Group has used a 5-year CAGR in the range between 12% and 26% to project the cash flows beyond the period covered by the most recent budgets. The discount rates applied to the cash flow projections range between 10% and 13%. When testing for impairment in 2020 the applied 5-year CAGR were between 11% and 20% and WACC ranging from 10% to 12%.

Budget and forecast period
The basis for the projection of the future cash flows estimated is based on the financial budget of one year. The budget in combination with the forecasts represent the management’s best estimate of the range of economic conditions that will exist over the useful life of the asset. The remaining four years of the forecast period are estimated based on budget and projected performance. After the five-year period the growth rate is based on the risk-free rate in the applicable market.

Growth rate
Growth rate is represented by five-year CAGR, which is defined as the average annual gross profit growth rate over a five-year forecasting period. Average rates of growth in operating revenue are based on the management’s expectations of future conditions in the markets in which the business operates, and historical growth rate for the CGUs.

EBITDA margin
EBITDA margins are based on the margins achieved historically, adjusted for expected future developments in market conditions.

WACC
Future cash flows are discounted to present value using a discount rate based on a calculation of a weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The pre-tax WACC for each CGU is calculated on basis of a risk-free rate and a risk premium, adjusted by a beta for the software market. Adjustments for country specific risks are applied where necessary.

Sensitivity
As of December 31 st 2021, the Group’s value in use for each CGU was significantly higher than the carrying amount of tested goodwill in all CGUs. A sensitivity analysis has been performed in order to determine if a reasonable change in key assumptions would cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount. Only a 10% reduction in EBITDA-margin would indicate impairment needs for the SmartCraft Norway Group.

Deferred tax assets are recognized when the Group can document future taxable profits to utilize the tax asset per company. The deferred tax asset is recognized for the amount corresponding to the expected taxable profit based on the convincing evidence. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that convincing evidence no longer exists for the utilization. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that convincing evidence exists supporting that taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. The actual outcome of future tax costs may deviate from these estimates.# ANNUAL REPORT 2021 58

Note 23 Tangible Assets

Tangible assets consisting of office equipment and vehicles are recognized at acquisition cost. The carrying value is comprised of the historical cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses (if any). Office buildings consist of leased assets (right-of-use assets). The Group has contracts divided into the categories office buildings, vehicles and machinery. Short-term and low-value leases are excluded from the lease accounting. When measuring leases, SmartCraft includes fixed lease payments for extension periods reasonably certain to be used. As a practical expedient, non-lease components are not separated from lease contracts, and not recognized but expensed in the period when the lease expense is incurred. Judgement is applied in assessing whether renewal options are reasonably certain to be utilized. See note 27 for the specification of the current and non-current lease liabilities. Depreciation expenses are measured on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, commencing when the asset is ready for its intended use. At each financial year-end SmartCraft reviews the residual value and useful life of its assets, with any estimate changes accounted for prospectively over the remaining useful life of the asset.

Interest expense relating to lease recognized in the income statement for 2021 was TNOK 565 and NOK 607 in 2020. Total cash outflows for leases in 2021 was TNOK 6 854 and NOK 5 851 in 2020. The SmartCraft Group has a few leases that are not accounted for as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the balance sheet date because they are exempted as low-value or short-term leases. The amount of the future minimum lease payments due under these leases is considered to not be material. For 2021 the total expenses related to contracts with exception for short-term leases or low-value assets were TNOK 1 174. Next years obligations related to contracts with exception from IFRS 16 is TNOK 534. The Group has not included any extension options in recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, based on the high level of uncertainty regarding future needs.

Accounting principles

The annual accounts have been prepared in conformity with the provisions of the Accounting Act and good accounting practice.

Use of estimates

In the preparation of the annual accounts estimates and assumptions have been made that have affected the profit and loss account and the valuation of assets and liabilities, and uncertain assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice. Areas which to a large extent contain such subjective evaluations, a high degree of complexity, or areas where the assumptions and estimates are material for the annual accounts, are described in the notes.

Revenues

Services are posted as income as they are delivered. The company provide management services for the other companies in the SmartCraft Group.

Tax

The tax charge in the profit and loss account consists of tax payable for the period and the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rate at 22% on the basis of tax-reducing and tax-increasing temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, and the tax loss carried forward at the end of the accounting year. Tax-increasing and tax-reducing temporary differences that reverse or may reverse in the same period are set off and entered net. The net deferred tax receivable is entered on the balance sheet to the extent that it is likely that it can be utilised.

Classification and valuation of current assets

Current assets and short-term liabilities consist normally of items that fall due for payment within one year of the balance sheet date, as well as items related to the stock cycle. Current assets are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value. Short-term liabilities are entered on the balance sheet at the nominal amount at the time of the transaction.

Subsidiaries and associated companies

Subsidiaries and associated companies are valued using the cost method in the company accounts. The investment is valued at acquisition cost for the shares unless a write-down has been necessary. A write-down to fair value is made when a fall in value is due to reasons that cannot be expected to be temporary and such write-down must be considered as necessary in accordance with good accounting practice. Write-downs are reversed when the basis for the write-down is no longer present. Dividends, group contributions and other distributions from subsidiaries are posted to income in the same year as provided for in the distributor’s accounts. To the extent that dividends/ group contributions exceed the share of profits earned after the date of acquisition, the excess amounts represents a repayment of invested capital, and distributions are deducted from the investment’s value in the balance sheet of the parent company.

Receivables

Receivables from customers and other receivables are entered at par value after deducting a provision for expected losses. The provision for losses is made on the basis of an individual assessment of the respective receivables. In addition an unspecified provision is made to cover expected losses on claims in respect of customer receivables.

Revenues

Income from the sale of goods is recognised on the date of delivery. Services are posted as income as they are delivered.

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement has been prepared using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank deposits and other short-term, liquid investments.

Independent Auditor’s Report

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of SmartCraft ASA, which comprise:

  • The financial statements of the parent company SmartCraft ASA (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, the revenue statement and indirect cash flow statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, and
  • The consolidated financial statements of SmartCraft ASA and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2021, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion:

  • the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
  • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and
  • the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the Audit Committee.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by laws and regulations and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided. We have been the auditor of the Company for 5 years from the election by the general meeting of the shareholders on 3 March 2017 for the accounting year 2017.

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 these matters.

| Key Audit Matter | How our audit addressed the Key Audit Matter Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors’ report
• is consistent with the financial statements and
• contains the information required by applicable legal requirements.
Our opinion on the Board of Director’s report applies correspondingly to the statements on Corporate Governance and Corporate Social Responsibility.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, and for the preparation and true and fair view of the consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements of the Company use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations. The consolidated financial statements of the Group use the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Independent Auditor's Report - SmartCraft ASA (4)

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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. We 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 Company's or the Group'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 Company and the Group'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 Company and the Group 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 a true and fair view.
• 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 the Board of Directors 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.

Independent Auditor's Report - SmartCraft ASA (5)

We also provide the Audit Committee 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 the Board of Directors, 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.
