Key messages from the Chairman
Reflections on a year of change
Year of transformation
The financial year of 2020/21 has been busy and I am thrilled by the energy and enthusiasm the team has put into the transformation we have been through. Nevertheless, large enterprise sales have been disappointing. This can be in part explained by a slow uptake of enterprise subscriptions as a consequence of the media storm that took place in the spring of 2021. At the time, our pipeline was primarily based on the Danish market, where the sales leads, influenced by negative press, resulted in higher than anticipated customer acquisition costs. Offsetting this turn of events, we chose to accelerate investments in the international distributor network as well as build new types of subscription models. We are confident that we now have the necessary tools and processes to better adapt to any adverse changes in our markets.
Focus on scale and growth
The team has successfully executed on the planned sales internationalisation and distribution channels. We have also developed several new subscription plans enabling us to service a broader customer audience to encompass small to medium sized enterprises, consultancies and investment professionals. The new subscriptions, launched in September 2021 will provide an additional significant sales channel in the coming financial year.
Internationalisation
One of our goals in the IPO prospectus was to build our own direct international sales organisation. This has been successfully executed to include our London office, our first sales agent in Asia, and the build-up of a sales and marketing organisation with a head count of 20 strong individuals. Our path to globalisation has gone from strength to strength.

Distributions channels
Another goal of the IPO prospectus was to increase our network of distribution partners.
Part of our strategy entails our global distribution partners, as described in the IPO prospectus, to assist customers requiring consultancy support in implementing their innovation changes. I'm pleased to announce that these efforts have to date resulted in partnerships with Technology Institute of Petronas and a global management company, which promises continued success of this sales channel.
Launch of new subscriptions
The release of new subscriptions provide an on-demand sales capability for the mid-tier customer segments which are less sales intensive. The new subscriptions allow greater access and increased flexibility for the customers and provide the platform with new possibilities for upselling between tiers. This is a great achievement by the team and supports the enterprise sale by easier trials, shorter sales cycles, and opens a new revenue stream toward the mid-tier segment sooner than planned.
IPO and following capital increase
The year also included a successful capital increase of DKK 100 million following the IPO at Nasdaq First North Premier in Q3. This secures the necessary means to implement our strategy.
Looking forward – 2021/2022
Valuer's foundation is strong. I'm proud of the team and confident in our three building blocks; our successful distribution partner approach, the new on-demand subscriptions, and our direct international enterprise sales - all of which will be instrumental in achieving our goals going forwards.
> "The direct enterprise sales this year has been a challenge. On the other hand, it has been uplifting to witness the team building strong distribution partnerships beyond expectations, and excellent team effort that right now - well ahead of schedule - has open opened the platform for a broad range of customer segments."
Finn Peder Hove, Chairman Valuer
2020/21 outlined
Delays in enterprise subscription sales, but building the foundation for future growth
This fiscal year was the start of a major transition for Valuer. The company released the new AI platform, prepared, and successfully completed the IPO process, leading up to the listing on Nasdaq First North Premiere in February 2021. The year also saw the onboarding of several new employees across all 3 locations, securing a number of new distribution partners and getting access to new markets - all to drive the future growth plans. 2020/2021 was the year in which the originally planned enterprise subscription sales should have gained momentum with the new platform, but the sales were negatively affected by the media attention following the listing. We were not able to recover from the impact and the expected sale and annual recurring revenue outlined in the forecast. This deviation in sales in relation to our expectations in the IPO prospectus has therefore impacted earnings negatively.
Income statement
Revenue and Annual Recurring Revenue below expectations
Revenue declined from DKK 4,767 thousand in 2019/2020 to DKK 2,348 thousand in 2020/2021, which mainly has been caused by delays in the sales cycles of the enterprise subscriptions. Where most of the revenue in 2020/21 was generated from recurring subscription fees, revenue in the previous year also included revenue from paying test customers (non-recurring revenue).
In connection with the Q3 Update Reporting the company adjusted the ARR guidance for the year - from DKK 10 million to DKK 5-7 million. The realised ARR by year end materialised just short of 5 million.
EBITDA impacted negatively by lower sales and higher activities
Reported EBITDA of DKK -24,437 thousand by 30 June 2021 (2019/2020: DKK -5,733 thousand) was predominantly driven by the lower level of revenue, the one-off IPO costs, and the uptake in number of new employees and related activities.
EBITDA exclusive IPO costs and related activities amounted to DKK -18,141 thousand.
Operational expenses
Staff costs
Staff costs increased by DKK 6,625 thousand to DKK -14,440 thousand (2019/20: -7,815 thousand), mainly due to new hires, predominantly in the second half the year, to support the market driven activities as well as technical setup and back office. The increase in
Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
staff costs also included a cost of DKK -1,524 thousand related to the newly introduced warrant program (2019/2020: DKK 0).
Other external costs
Other external costs amounted to DKK 12,493 thousand (2019/20: DKK 2,780 thousand). The increase was mainly driven by one-off IPO costs of DKK 6,297 thousand, but also increased costs for marketing activities, consultancy, and IT costs - all to support the future growth plans in the coming years.
Depreciation
The total depreciation for the year amounted to DKK -794 thousand (2019/2020: DKK -60 thousand), where DKK -778 thousand was related to the Valuer platform version 3, which was launched in the autumn of 2020 (2019/2020: 0).
Financial expenses
The financial expenses amounted to DKK -901 thousand (2019/20: -214 thousand), which was mainly driven by bank interests from the positive cash balance, interests related to settled shareholder loans and deposit fees.
Income tax
The income tax is mainly related to tax credits regarding the development costs and amounted to DKK 461 thousand (2019/20: 352 thousand).
Balance sheets
As of 30 June 2021, the total assets amounted to DKK 81,085 thousand (2019/2020: DKK 6.81 thousand, which was mainly driven by the proceeds obtained from the IPO (DKK 100 million).
Capitalized development costs and depreciation
The development costs include capitalized salary costs and costs from external consultants. Development costs amounted to DKK 4,527 thousand (2019/2020: DKK 4,419 thousand) and included finished development projects as well as development projects in progress.
Deferred tax assets
No deferred tax assets have been recognised at the end of 2020/21, as utilisation thereof was not currently considered possible in the short term.
Accounts receivable
The increase in the account receivable balance of DKK 1.171 thousand compared to last year, was due to postponement of billing in the later part of 2020/21. No losses expected.
Tax receivable
The tax receivable balance by year-end amounted to DKK 827 thousand (2019/20: DKK 352 thousand) and was related to tax credits regarding the development costs.
Cash and borrowings (overdraft facility)
Net cash balance including cash and borrowings at year-end amounted to DKK 72,354 thousand (2019/20: net DKK -1.131 thousand). The overdraft facility with the bank was cancelled subsequent to the IPO February 2021.
Equity
As per June 30, 2021, total equity amounts to DKK 75.711 thousand (2019/20: DKK -7.326 thousand). The changes in equity relate to debt conversion of DKK 9.327 thousand, following the capital increase of DKK 100 million from the IPO, less costs of DKK 1,793 thousand and the loss for the year of DKK -25,671 thousand.

Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
Shareholder loans
Most of the existing shareholder loans of DKK 9,372 thousand, including interest were converted into shares by 31 December 2021. One shareholder loan of DKK 692 thousand was paid back.
Trade Payables
Trade payables amounted to DKK 1.6 million, whereof DKK 0.8 million was related to a certain IPO vendor (2019/2020: DKK 0.3 million). The remaining increase in trade payables compared to previous year was due to a general uptake in the general activity level of the company.
Other Payables
Other payables consisted of employees related accruals, including holiday accruals, employee taxes and other general accruals etc. and increased to DKK 3.7 million by end of 2020/21 compared to DKK 3.1 million by end of 2019/20.
Cash flow
Cash flow for the year amounted to DKK 71.8 million (2019/2020: DKK 47 thousand).
Cash flow from operating activities was negative by DKK 22,792 thousand compared to negative cash flow in 2019/20 of DKK 4,365 thousand. The cash outflow during the year was mainly due to increased costs for salaries, IPO costs and general higher activities.
Cash flow from investing activities increased by DKK 855 thousand, which was mainly due to adjustment of facility deposit in connection with extension of the rented premises in Denmark.
Cash flow from financing activities amounted to DKK 96,714 thousand (2019/20: 5,649 thousand) and derived from additional shareholder loans obtained in the beginning of the year (DKK 1,200 thousand), and further capital increase in February 2021 in connection with the IPO. In connection with the received proceeds from the IPO, the credit facility of DKK 7,818 thousand was fully paid back.

From the CEO
Accelerating innovation
The world is changing at an unprecedented pace predominantly enabled by the advancement of new technologies. One can only imagine the devastating economic impact the pandemic would have had, had it occurred before the existence of the internet, virtual meetings, mobile applications, online collaboration tools and online shopping. It is remarkable that the technologies behind these products have only been available for a couple of decades.
Where technology is the enabler of change, demand is the cause. The occurrence of COVID-19 created an immediate global demand for reconfiguring work. If someone had theorised in 2019 that Global 500 companies could conduct their business with their entire workforce working from home – it would have been looked upon as madness. And yet, this has become the norm. Several of the world's top brands have announced that the workforce should continue working from home post-pandemic.

Dennis Poulsen

Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
"There has been more innovation the last six months than in the last six years. In the world of corporate investment the first half of 2021 saw corporations double the number of investments in new innovation and products compared to the same period in 2020. A total of $73,18 was invested in corporate ventures in 2020."
Mohanbir Sawhney, professor at the Kellogg school of Management, – "The 2020 Global CVC report".
Moreover, we are seeing the impacts of climate change creating tectonic shifts in consumer behavior among the younger generations expecting the world to change towards producing much more sustainable and climate friendly alternatives. This is leading to the creation of an entire new spectrum of demands from consumers across the globe. And those demands will have an accelerating impact on technological developments, which in turn will accelerate the creation of new business models, products and means to affect change.
These shifts are catapulting organisations around the world. From governments to businesses across pretty much every vertical, to investors who are seeing themselves as the shepherds of good, to lower their focus on capital gains and increasing their focus on driving initiatives aimed at making the world a better and safer place.
The anticipated spending on digital transformation in the trillions of dollars by 2025 will now likely increase even further due to the pandemic as companies will be looking to digitalise themselves as much as possible as a protection or insurance against future health crisis. The very way in which organizations are constructed and run is at a point of revision and this particular development requires an innovative approach of a magnitude, seldomly seen before. We are essentially changing the entire work model.
From a market perspective, organizations are increasingly eyeing the opportunity to be the ones delivering solutions and products that will meet the rising demands of consumers and clients.
The question then becomes: how can organisations keep up?
Change is indeed happening rapidly and thus it will be vital for organisations such as corporations, investors and consultants to systematically access and accelerate innovation globally.

Our commercial strategy & focus
Expanding the platform business model
In line with the company's business development strategy, Valuer is expanding the SaaS business model beyond enterprise grade workflows to now also service individual workflows of professionals from the business, investment and consultancy sectors. Following the IPO, Valuer has accelerated product development and released the largest product update in the company's history, mid September. Valuer now offers a complete suite of subscriptions, designed to service a broader market, and tailored to match the demand across our customer segments. This significantly increases the total market size and applicability of the Valuer platform.
The recent product update and launch of new subscriptions will allow Valuer to also enable a product led growth strategy with the product itself as a vehicle for growth, with built in features driving shareability and adoption across users' social graph.
With the launch, Valuer has also introduced differentiated pricing across the subscription tiers, lowering barriers of entry, allowing for a larger customer base across Valuer's customer segments. A free version of the platform has been added to drive user adoption and subsequent upgrades and conversion into paying customers.
Valuer's new plans enable systematic, and AI assisted discovery and monitoring of innovation opportunities, investment opportunities and the underlying trends. The platform's algorithms assist the customer by means of a predictive assistant, thereby reducing the complexity and time that goes into the practical work of searching using a conventional hierarchical database. The KNN (Know your Nearest Neighbor) method helps classify the customer's current known universe and cluster currently unknown areas thereby helping the customer understand the opportunities that are being created close to the business they know. In other words the platform enables customers to read what is not yet on paper.

Innovation professionals can leverage Valuer to identify and monitor new areas that could be valuable growth pockets for their business. On one hand they can use Valuer to establish the overall business strategy through the platform's clustering product, which identifies and maps out which emerging markets the business should focus on. On the other hand, they can use Valuer to identify specific applications, technologies, trends, and companies that can enhance their products and consequently their position in the market.
"Valuer's new subscriptions enable systematic and AI assisted discovery and monitoring of innovation opportunities, investment opportunities and the underlying trends."

Three major sales channels to target our customer segments
Valuer's commercial strategy is organised and executed on the basis of three core sales channels, all of which are expected to support future sales growth. We are committed and will continue to work diligently to refine and strengthen our sales channels, to support the growth and internationalisation of Valuer. The three sales channels are:
Distribution sales:
Valuer has excelled in forging solid distribution partnerships with reputable companies who are putting their trust in the Valuer platform and its ability to provide value to their end customers. To manage the expansion of the distribution network, Valuer has engaged a sales partner executive who will focus on attracting, recruiting, training, nurturing, and developing the distribution sales partners. Pipelines are being built by the partners and even though we are yet to see sales materialise through the distribution channel, we have high expectations for the performance of this sales channel in the coming years.
On-demand sales:
As outlined in the beginning of this chapter, Valuer has launched a range of new subscriptions that are now available for direct purchase on Valuer's website. The product-led sales channel is created to allow Valuer to sell lower tier 'credit card' sized subscriptions with next to none sales resources.
Direct sales:
The direct sales channel is further strengthened by the introduction of lower tiered subscriptions as we assume these subscriptions will serve as upselling stations for our enterprise level subscriptions. Beyond this approach, the sales team will continue to conduct campaigns to approach potential buyers for the enterprise subscriptions. The direct sales team is divided into a business development representative team that is tasked with reaching out to potential buyers and a team of sales executives who are tasked with driving the process from opportunity to sales.

The Valuer business model
Valuer offers a B2B platform which runs on a cloud-based infrastructure that enables customers to access the platform from anywhere through a web browser. Valuer's cloud based infrastructure means that customers are not required to allocate internal IT resources. Valuer uses a one-to-many model for software delivery, which means that software services are delivered to multiple users simultaneously. New customers can therefore be included on the platform without significant additional costs.
Software updates, new features, and integrations developed to one customer will become available to all customers – this is one of the characteristics that exemplify the strong scalability in the business model. Valuer's business model is based on a full spectrum of subscription plans, supporting both high-tier, mid-tier and low-tier usage. Customers can start with a trial before they move into a paid subscription which is based on 12-month rolling contracts.

Market expansion
Executing the sales strategy
Accelerating marketing and sales activities from HQ in Copenhagen
Following the IPO at the end of February, the Executive Management Team has been focused on scaling the marketing and sales organisation to position Valuer for growth. By the end of June 2021 Valuer had hired more than 20 new employees across the customer facing team. Valuer's Chief Marketing Officer came onboard in March 2021 to oversee Valuer's growth strategy and to prepare for targeting multiple new customer groups. In April 2021, Valuer's Head of People and Culture joined to develop and execute our organisational activities around hiring and culture. In May 2021 Valuer's Chief Financial Officer joined to focus on our operations and revenue generating strategies. A completely new business development team of 8 business development representatives was hired by May 2021 to focus on opening up customer groups across our customer segments in Europe.
UK office and sales team established
In line with the IPO prospectus Valuer opened an office in London in April 2021 and established a local sales team to start targeting UK sales prospects as well as start engaging with distributor and agent opportunities in APAC. The team has started engaging with customer prospects in the second half of 2021. The UK team has successfully signed a distributor agreement with the Technology Institute of Petronas in Malaysia to distribute Valuer's platform offerings across the APAC region. The first client engagement is being negotiated. The team has furthermore engaged a seasoned professional in Singapore to represent Valuer in Singapore.
Customer segments and sales channels
Valuer is focused on six customer segments in which we are targeting through our 3 sales channels:
- Digital Marketing Platform
- Direct Sales
- Distributors

Innovation

Sustainability

Investment

Patents

Procurement/supply chain (distribution)

Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
Guidance for 2021/22
Building stronger sales channels, digital subscriptions, and improved features to support the growth
In connection with the IPO in February 2021, the management and the board of directors had a long-term vision of making Valuer the go-to platform for innovation and investments. This long-term vision remains and we are optimistic about achieving these goals.
In the IPO prospectus, our target for 2021/22 was to reach an annual recurring revenue of DKK 28 million by year end. With the pipeline having been negatively affected by adverse market dynamics, we accelerated the process of internationalisation during the second half of the year. Further, we have boosted our distribution network, introduced a new subscription model and built new pipelines at home and abroad. These efforts are essential in turning the tide.
Guidance
For 2021/22 Valuer expects growth in ARR:
- The delay in enterprise subscriptions sales will continue to have an impact on the full year 2021/22 compared to the original guidance from the IPO prospectus. Valuer's new guidance on ARR by end of 2021/22 is expected to be between DKK 15-17 million
Fulfillment of the ARR guidance depends on the following key drivers and assumptions to continue:
- Customer churn rate between 5-15%
- Increased engagement with the Valuer platform
- Obtaining new customers within our six customer segments
- Increased subscriptions through five to seven current and future distribution partners

Corporate Governance

Valuer is committed to follow the Danish recommendations on corporate governance of 20 December 2020, issued by the Danish Committee on corporate governance. Accordingly, the board of directors continuously considers the updated recommendations in order to determine which are relevant for Valuer, considering the size, ownership structure, nature of the company and the company's business model.
Each year, in connection with the annual report, Valuer Holding A/S publishes the statutory report on corporate governance, cf. Section 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Valuer complies with 33 recommendations, does not comply with 7 recommendations, and partly complies with 2 of the recommendations. Deviations are all explained in the statutory report on corporate governance for 2020/21 according to the "comply or explain principle". Since Valuer is a fairly new and small company, a number of the recommendations from the Danish Committee on corporate governance, have not been possible to fully comply with at this point in time, though we are continuously working towards closing the gaps. The areas that are under development are quarterly reports, the CSR area and whistleblower setup. Regarding the recommendations on establishment of an audit committee, a nomination committee and a remuneration committee, Valuer is currently being evaluated as being too small to establish these. Instead the board of directors follow the spirit of the
recommendations. Valuer is committed to continuously develop and improve the corporate governance area.

Helping our customers Innovate
Valuer helps organisations identify the commercial and technological inroads needed to create a sustainable future.
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed supply chains and business models across the globe and affected millions of businesses and billions of people. The focus is no longer on short-term economic gains but, rather a long-term focus on building a sustainable future. This development among business executives and investors is driven by intent and reality but also by regulations that now require organisations to demonstrate their impact on society.
Valuer helps organisations develop a strong sustainable business approach to create long-term value and improve the ecological, social and economic environment.
Creating a circular economy
In order to meet the rising demands from consumers, organisations are tasked with figuring out how they can eliminate waste, recycle and use all the resources they use and deploy to their maximum capacity. In order to achieve real circular economy effects, companies are often faced with having to change major parts of their operations and substantially alter their business models. A good example is Orsted, which managed to shift from fossil fuel to renewable energy thereby completely transforming their operations, supply chain and business model in the process.

Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
"We believe that Valuer is strongly positioned to serve organisations in their hunt for sustainable business approaches in many years to come."
Another avenue of focus is the adaptation of supply chains to increase sustainability through the value chain. Making the supply chain more regional and therefore shorter, would make it more resilient and have a better impact on the regional economy.
Valuer's AI platform helps organisations identify solutions that are outside of the organisations' domain knowledge today but, may be potentially transformative in terms of providing new sustainable techniques for developing, producing, selling, and delivering products. As such Valuer AI platform helps organisations enter the unknown and explore territories that could be pivotal to their circular economy efforts.
Organisations can use the platform's clustering tool to identify and monitor technologies, business models and
companies across particular segments that are most relevant for solving the challenges involved in developing a circular economy.
Digital processes as a driver of responsible practices
Companies are starting to see digital responsibility from the perspective of competitive advantage and not merely as a regulatory byproduct. Digital processes are needed to secure the responsible integration of AI as well as ensuring robust implementation and processes for the deployment of cyber-security and data privacy systems. The Valuer AI platform helps organisations drill down on innovative solutions and technologies that deliver practical ways of implementing a responsible digital model.
Identifying sustainably focused vendors, partners, and investments.
This year, Valuer's platform has continued to harness data on sustainable technologies and business models on a global level thus creating the markets most sophisticated business intelligence engine aligned to support the world's perhaps most important economical driver. Hence, we believe that Valuer is strongly positioned to serve organisations in their hunt for sustainable business approaches in many years to come.
The sustainability features on Valuer's platform include:
- Search technologies by Sustainable Development Goal(s)
- Search companies by Sustainable Development Goal(s)
- SDG analysis (deep-dive). Bespoke research on a case-by-case basis
Beyond these specific SDG enablers, Valuer's advanced AI technologies makes it possible for the platform to read text and understand the semantics, in other words, understand the relationship between words. This way organisations use Valuer to sift through the noise when searching for SDG related vendors, partners and investments.

Empowering talents
Leading strategy and growth
Leadership with Valuer is about enabling the talents and potential of our organisation. During 2021, Valuer has strengthened its leadership capacity with experienced and professional leaders to drive the growth strategy of the company. The leadership group consists of 7 leaders across functions. Besides preparing and implementing the strategy, the leadership group is responsible for the day-to-day management, the organisation and the development of Valuer.
The formal management structure of the company lies with an Executive Management team, appointed by the Board of Directors and currently consisting of the CEO and CFO of the company, who report to the Board of Directors.
Culture, empowerment and performance
Valuer's culture is characterized by a flat and enabling organisation where every individual is leading, contributing, and influencing the activities. We drive performance by setting clear and simple targets, which are relatable to every team and every individual, and we trust that this performance approach allows every member of the Valuer community to take ownership of their part of the business.
We saw this being effectively put to the challenge during the COVID-19 pandemic where Valuer across locations experienced both lock-down and working from home as well as colleagues being infected with the virus. The team kept strong throughout and has now found new ways of working.
Although we appreciate the physical presence in the office to keep the "Valuer DNA" flowing, we can now structure our work with the continued option of working from home, since we know it will not affect the performance of the team - in cases rather the opposite.
Diversity
At Valuer, we are ideas before tech and with a diverse organisation, we are able to create better solutions for our customers.
Valuer employs 19 nationalities amongst 51 employees across three locations. Our organisation represents a broad set of competencies and seniority or age, and we believe this diversity to be part of our value proposition. Currently 37% of our employees are women and we strive towards a sound balance of genders. Diversity continues to be a focus of Valuer, and the focus includes but is not limited to gender and nationalities.
Gender distribution
- Female 37%
- Male 63%
Age distribution
- 20-29 56%
- 30-39 26%
- 40+ 18%
Nationality distribution
- Danish 20%
- European 71%
- International 9%

Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
Risk Management
Valuer is exposed to a number of commercial, operational and financial risks that potentially could reduce the ability to realise the Company's strategic and operational objectives.
Risk management is a priority for Valuer as various activities all pose uncertainty or risk that Valuer needs to manage. As such, risk taking is a natural part of doing business. As Valuer is growing and developing, focus on risk management is increasing and has now become an integrated part of the group's business activities. By constantly monitoring and mitigating risks, Valuer aims to reduce risks to an acceptable level, to reduce potential negative impact on growth, activities, and results.
The Valuer risk management goal is to understand, prioritise and mitigate the large risks. Valuer's risk-based approach allows Valuer to operate with confidence on the key risks and to monitor the mitigations in a structured, coordinated way with continued focus on efficient day-to-day business operation in line with the company strategy.
Responsibilities
The company's enterprise risk management (ERM) model ensures that risks are identified, reported and managed. The formal responsibility for risk management rests with the Valuer group leadership team, while monitoring is carried out by the Board of Directors. Valuer's risk management framework includes a process for reporting key risks and their mitigating actions. This process is performed and consolidated biannually to the Board of Directors.
Risk handling
Valuer constantly strives to bring risks to a level that is acceptable. Valuer seeks to transfer the risk to a third part and/or to mitigate the risk seeking to minimize the exposure. Ultimately some risks will remain that Valuer accepts. By constantly monitoring and mitigating these risks, Valuer aims to reduce them to an accepted level.

Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
| Risk Identification | Business Interruption | Business Model | Cyber Crime | Attracting and retaining key individuals | Market development | Competition | Compliance | Reputation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monitor | If customers are unable to access the platform, it may negatively impact Valuer's reputation, ability to both retain existing customers and attract new customers. This could have an adverse negative effect on Valuer's business and financial position. | The Valuer business model is dependent on revenue generated by annually recurring contracts. Valuer's product offering is not integrated into their customers' business, unlike ERP or CRM-systems, generated by annually recurring contracts. Customers may have a higher likelihood of cancelling their recurring contract. Factors that may increase the likelihood of customers cancelling include, but is not limited to, macro-economic changes and other competitive offerings. | Valuer is exposed to cybersecurity issues such as cyberattacks and data breaches. Cyber attacks may prevent customers from accessing the platform, and there is a risk that cyberattacks and data breaches may cause Valuer to be subject to fines, penalties, claims from customers, reputational damage, and harm the opportunity to win and retain existing customers. | Valuer's current operations and implementation of internationalization strategy are dependent on the executive management team and key individuals. Loss of key individuals may have an adverse impact on Valuer's market presence, growth, and internationalization opportunities, and consequently revenue and financial position. | Valuer is dependent on a continued shift from analogue to digital innovation workflows as Valuer's solution is based on a fully digitized workflow. Should the emerging demand for Valuer's services stop and/or customers wish to revert to analogue innovation workflows, Valuer's business model and financial position may be negatively affected. Changing market conditions may require Valuer to adjust the business model and add products or services. | Valuer operates in a market for digital innovation solutions for corporations. Valuer may lose its competitive position due to changes in technology and the entry of new competitors. | Valuer operates within a number of the different regulatory areas, where it is required that Valuer is compliant at all time. | Reputational risk is a considerable risk to the brand and image, as well as associated risks to earnings or liquidity, arising from any action or inaction, which could be perceived by stakeholders to be inappropriate, unethical, or inconsistent with our values and beliefs. |
| Mitigation action | Valuer has established the necessary organization to maintain access and operations, including remotely when impacted by unforeseen situations. | Developing new subscriptions models and new sales channels including entering into different partnership agreements that can create the required long term relationships and thereby the required stickiness. | Strengthening of Information Security Management governance. Additional resources on-boarded during 2021 to address the increasing cyber threat landscape. | To retain key individuals, Valuer has entered into employment agreement with key individuals on market terms and staff is incentivized through warrant programs. Additionally, three of the employees in the management team have ownership interests in the Company. | Market for innovation services has grown significantly in the past years and is expected to grow even further going forward. Valuer monitors the development on a running basis and are in getting feedback from current customers and potential customer in order to develop the platform so it fits the market demands. | Assesses that competitors will spend 2-3 years to establish a platform similar to Valuers. Additionally, Valuer has built up intellectual property rights to prevent reverse engineering of the platform and mitigate the potential risk of Valuer and is continuing to further improve the platform with new functionalities and features. | Valuer is continuously monitoring the regulatory development within the specific areas that are relevant for the company. Valuer has e.g. during the spring employed a Data Privacy Manager to monitor new legislation and implementing new internal processes to support the GDPR legislation. | At Valuer we believe in tackling issues head on, containing adverse issues and communicating in an open, positive and transparent manner with all stakeholders. We do this because like everyone else, we cannot control the external environment. |

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Statement on Management's Review
Management is responsible for Management's Review.
Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover Management's Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read Management's Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management's Review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether Management's Review provides the information required under the Danish Financials Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management's Review is in accordance with the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been prepared in
Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statement Act. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management's Review.
Management's Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act and for the preparation of Parent Company Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act, 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 Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Parent Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's and the Parent Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions

Voluer Annual Report 2020/21
that may cast significant doubt on the Group's and the Parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Parent Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives 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 those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
Notes
1. General accounting policies
The Group's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for the financial statements of reporting class C enterprises, cf. the Danish Executive Order on Adoption of IFRSs ("IFRS bekendtgørelser") issued in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act ("DFSA").
Basis for preparation
The financial statements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK).
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with the historical cost convention, except where IFRS explicitly requires use of other values.
For the purpose of clarity, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements are prepared using the concepts of materiality and relevance. This means that line items not considered material in terms of quantitative and qualitative measures or relevant to financial statement users are aggregated and presented together with other items in the financial statements. Similarly, information not considered material is not presented in the notes.
The accounting policies, have been applied consistently during the financial year and for the comparative figures.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, Valuer Holding A/S, and its subsidiaries (the Group). Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power to direct the activities of the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the transferred asset.
Principles of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the financial statements of the parent and its subsidiaries.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared by combining items of a uniform nature and subsequently eliminating intercompany transactions, internal shareholdings and balances and unrealised intercompany gains or losses. The financial statements used for consolidation are prepared in accordance with the Group's accounting policies.
The accounting items of subsidiaries are recognised 100% in the consolidated financial statements. Investments in subsidiaries are offset by the interest's share of subsidiaries' net assets at the acquisition date at fair value.
Accounting policies are described in full in this note below.
Non-controlling interests
The Group recognises non-controlling interests in an acquired entity either at fair value or at the noncontrolling interest's proportionate share of the acquired entity's net identifiable assets. This decision is made on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis.
The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a loss of control as transactions with equity owners of the group. A change in ownership interest results in an adjustment between the carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests to reflect their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount of the adjustment to non-controlling interests and any consideration paid or received is recognised in a separate reserve within equity attributable to owners.
Foreign currency translation
Functional currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency').
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at year end exchange rates are generally recognised in profit or loss.
The results and financial position of foreign operations that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
- assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet
- income and expenses for each statement of profit or loss and statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates (unless this is not a reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of the rates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which case income and expenses are translated at the dates of the transactions), and
- all resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
Revenue from contract with customers
Revenue is recognised when or as the performance obligations in the contract are satisfied by transferring control of the promised services to the customer. Control transfers over time as revenue comprise a right to access webportal services.
Services are measured at the rate of completion of the service to which the contract relates by using a time-based method to measure progress as the performance obligation is satisfied evenly over a period of time or the entity has a stand-ready obligation to perform over a period of time when granting access to the database. Revenue from access to the database is therefore recognised evenly over the subscription period.
Payment terms are 30 days.
Valuer Annual Report 2020/21
Notes
1. General accounting policies, continued
The Group does not have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
Cost of providing services
Cost of providing services comprise external consultants.
Other external expenses
Other external expenses comprise indirect production costs and expenses for premises, sales and distribution as well as office expenses, etc.
Other operating income
Other operating income and other operating expenses comprise income and expenses of a secondary nature relative to the principal activities of the Group.
Staff expenses
Staff expenses comprise wages and salaries as well as payroll expenses.
Share-based incentive plans (warrants)
Certain member of Board of Directors, Executive Management and a number of key employees are included in share-based incentive plans (equity-settled plans). For equity settled programs, the warrants and are measured at the fair value at the grant date and recognized in the income statement as a staff cost of the respective functions over the vesting period. The counter item is recognized in equity. On initial recognition, an estimate is made of the number of warrants and expected to vest. This estimate is subsequently revised for changes in the number of warrants and expected to vest. Accordingly, recognition is based on the number of warrants and that are ultimately vested. The fair value of granted warrants and options is estimated using the Black-Scholes pricing model. Vesting conditions are taken into account when estimating the fair value of the warrants.
Other operating expenses
Other operating income and other operating expenses comprise items of a secondary nature to the main activities of the company, including gains and losses on the sale of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses are recognised in the income statements at the amounts that concern the financial year. Net financials include interest income and expenses etc.
Income tax expense
The income tax expense or credit for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions, where appropriate, on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the end of the reporting period and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
Intangible assets
Development projects
Development costs cover costs and salaries directly attributable to the development activities of the enterprise as well as borrowing costs.
Development projects that are clearly defined and identifiable and in respect of which technical feasibility, sufficient resources and a potential future market or development opportunity in the enterprise can be demonstrated, and where it is the intention to manufacture, market or use the project, are recognised as intangible assets. This applies where the cost can be measured reliably and if sufficient certainty exists that future earnings cover production costs, selling costs and administrative expenses as well as the development costs. Amortisation of development projects recognised will start when the asset is ready for use.
Development projects that do not meet the criteria for recognition in the balance sheet are recognised as expenses in the income statement as incurred.
As of the date of completion, capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of the expected economic benefit from the development work. The amortisation period is 5 years.
Acquired rights
Acquired rights are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation or at a lower recoverable amount. Rights are depreciated over the useful life, but no more than 5 years.

Notes
1. General accounting policies, continued
Software
Acquired software are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation or at a lower recoverable amount. Rights are depreciated over the useful life, but no more than 5 years.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment comprises other fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. Other fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the finite-lived assets, which are as follows:
Other fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment: 3-5 years
Property, plant and equipment are tested for impairment if indications of impairment exist. Property, plant and equipment are written down to its recoverable amount, if the carrying amount exceeds the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value in use. Depreciation and impairment charges are recognized in the income statement.
Deposits
On initial recognition, deposits are measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost less impairment losses, if any.
Government grants
Grants from the government are recognised at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions.
Government grants relating to the development projects are deducted in the carrying amount of the asset. Grants that are not related to development projects are recognized as other income.
Leases
Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.
Leases include mainly properties.
Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following lease payments:
- fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable
- variable lease payment that are based on an index or a rate
- amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees
- the exercise price of a purchase option if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and
- payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be determined, or the group's incremental borrowing rate.
Lease liabilities are subsequently measured by increasing increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability, and reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the following:
- the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability
- any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received
- any initial direct costs, and restoration costs.
Payments associated with short-term leases are recognised on a straight-line basis as an expense in Income Statement. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less.
Impairment of non-current assets
Development projects in progress are not subject to amortisation and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less loss allowance. The Group hold the trade receivables with the objective to collect the contractual cash flows and thereafter measures them subsequently at amortised cost.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.
Other receivables
Other receivables comprise VAT receivables and receivables from Innobooster.
Prepayments
Prepayments comprise prepaid expenses concerning rent, insurance premiums, etc.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash and bank balances.
Equity
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deductions, net of tax, from the proceeds.
Treasury shares purchase and sales prices for treasury shares are recognised directly in retained earnings under

Notes
1. General accounting policies, continued
equity. A reduction of capital by cancellation of treasury shares reduces the share capital by an amount equal to the nominal value of the shares and increases retained earnings. Dividend on treasury shares is recognised directly in the equity under retained earnings.
Foreign currency translation reserve
Exchange differences arising on translation of the foreign controlled entity are recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in a separate reserve within equity. The cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss when the net investment is disposed of.
Dividends
Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the reporting period but not distributed at the end of the reporting period.
Financial liabilities
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan.
Borrowings are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration
paid, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Shareholder loans
Shareholder loans are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. The difference between the fair value and the proceeds are recognized directly in equity. Shareholder loans are subsequently measured at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
The fair value of the liability portion of a convertible shareholder loan is determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible bond. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortised cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the bonds. The remainder of the proceeds is allocated to the conversion option. This is recognised and included in shareholders' equity, net of income tax effects.
Shareholder loans are removed from the balance sheet when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged, cancelled or expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability that has been extinguished or transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any noncash assets transferred or liabilities
assumed, is recognised in profit or loss as other income or finance costs.
Shareholder loans are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Other payables
Other payables comprise VAT, holiday allowance etc.
Deferred revenue
If a customer pays consideration before the Group transfers services to the customer, a contract liability is recognised when the payment is made. Contract liabilities are recognised as revenue when the Group performs under the contract. Contract liabilities relates to the Group's validation activities.
Fair value estimation
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value of financial assets traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the reporting date.
The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined using generally accepted valuation techniques based on observable inputs from active markets. For financial liabilities where the fair value is disclosed, the fair value is estimated by discounting future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement shows the Group's cash flows for the year broken down by operating, investing and financing activities, changes for the year in cash and cash equivalents as well as the Group's cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.
Cash flows from operating activities are calculated as the net profit/loss for the year adjusted for changes in working capital and non-cash operating items such as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses, and provisions. Working capital comprises current assets less short-term debt excluding items included in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise cash flows from acquisitions and disposals of intangible assets as well as fixed asset investments.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise cash flows from the raising and repayment of long term debt as well as payments to and from shareholders.
New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2021 reporting periods and have not been early adopted

Notes
1. General accounting policies, continued
by the group. These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the group in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions. None of these standards are relevant for the group.
Consolidated Financial Statement
The transaction through which Valuer Holding A/S became a holding company of Valuer.ai ApS was a reorganization of the group, thus there is no change in the substance of the reporting entity. 79 % of the shares in Valuer.ai ApS were exchanged for the corresponding number of shares in Valuer Holding A/S. The reorganization of the group took place on 1 September 2020. The financial statements have therefore been prepared as a continuation of Valuer.ai ApS' operations.
As Valuer Holding A/S was established on 20 June 2020, the financial statements comprise the activities of Valuer Holding A/S and subsidiaries only for the period 20 June 2020 to 30 June 2020, whereas the combined financial statements comprise the activities of Valuer.ai ApS and subsidiaries for the period 1 July 2018 to 20 June 2020.
2. Significant accounting estimates and judgements
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements according to IFRS, Management is required to make certain estimates as many financial statement items cannot be reliably measured, but must be estimated as the value of assets and liabilities often depends on future events that are somewhat uncertain.
The judgments, estimates and assumptions made are based on historical experience and other factors that Management considers to be reliable, but which by their very nature are associated with uncertainty and unpredictability. These assumptions may prove incomplete or incorrect, and unexpected events or circumstances may arise. The most critical judgments, estimates and assumptions for the individual items are described below.
Significant accounting judgement
Recognition of development projects
The Group estimates that the criteria for recognition of the development projects are met as well as the criteria for recognising an immaterial asset. The Group expects that the development projects will generate expected future economic benefits.
Income generated in testing phase of development project and amortisation of development project
The Group has generated income while testing the database. In accordance with the upcoming amendments to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use, management has chosen to recognise the proceeds in the profit and loss in accordance with applicable standards, as IAS 38 does not include provisions concerning revenue from intangible assets before the intended use and management therefore has to develop an accounting policy. Management considers the developed accounting policy relevant to users as IAS 16 have been changed by IASB and as a representation of the substance of the transaction.
Significant accounting estimates
Key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations
The Group tests whether development projects has suffered any impairment on an annual basis. For the 2021/20 and 2020/19 reporting periods, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit was determined based on value-in-use calculations which require the use of assumptions. The calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates, assumptions around development in numbers of subscriptions.

15. Trade receivables
| DKK | 2020/21 | 2019/20 |
|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables before provision for bad debts | 1,284,904 | 113,607 |
| Less provision for impairment of trade receivables | 0 | 0 |
| Trade receivables net | 1,284,904 | 113,607 |
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are recognised initially at the amount of consideration that is unconditional.
Due to the short-term nature of the current receivables, their carrying amount is considered to be the same as their fair value.
Movement on the Group's provision for impairment of trade receivables are as follows:
| DKK | 2020/21 | 2019/20 |
|---|---|---|
| Opening balances | ||
| Increase in loss allowance recognised in profit or loss during the year | 0 | 0 |
| Receivables written off during the year as uncollectible | 0 | 0 |
| Unused amount reversed | 0 | 0 |
| Provision for impairment of trade receivables | 0 | 0 |
No provision for impairment has been made as the Group's customers are primarily large well consolidated customers with limited credit risk, and the Group has a history of limited registered losses. The Group has assessed their expected credit losses on an individual level, and has deemed their expected losses immaterial, for which reason there has not been made a matrix for expected credit losses on groups of receivables. Furthermore the historical losses on trade receivables are limited.

20. Financial risks and financial instruments
Financial risk factors
The Group manages financial risks centralised in Valuer Holding A/S. The Group identifies, monitors, assesses and mitigates financial risk at headquarter in cooperation with the Group's business units. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and credit risk that can have a significant impact on the financial performance of the Group. Significant risks are continuously assessed by Management and the Board of Directors.
Foreign currency risk
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates.
The company operates from Denmark with customers also in nearby European countries. Foreign customers are predominantly invoiced in Euro. Over time, there will be an increased risk in cases where international customers are invoiced in USD, in the event of exchange rate fluctuations, but currently the USD risk is immaterial. The company will continuously assess how these exchange rate fluctuations can affect the liquidity. If there is an increased currency risk, the company will seek to hedge this risk through ordinary exchange rate hedging agreements. However, as the Danish Kroner is pegged to the Euro, this currency risk is considered immaterial.
Interest rate risk
The Valuer Group is not particularly exposed to changes in interest rates as all cash at bank is set at fixed rates. Interest rate equals -0.6% p.a. Based on a sensitivity analysis impact a change in interest rate of +/- 0.5%-point, will impact the profit and loss with DKK +/- 0.4m p.a.
Credit risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, as well as credit exposures to customers, including outstanding receivables. The Group's primary credit exposure is related to trade receivables and cash positions.
The credit risk of the Group is assessed to be low. Credit risk related to trade receivables is managed by continuous risk assessment of major customers. The Group has policies in relation to maximum credit limits and prepayment requirements for customers with high credit risk. Based on forecasts as well as historical data, the Group expects only insignificant loss allowances for trade receivables. The Group has no major exposure relating to one single customer or business partner.
In relation to the credit risk related to financial institutions, the Group monitors financial institutions and places funds in financial institutions with satisfactory credit ratings (A).
Liquidity risk
The Group ensures sufficient liquidity resources by liquidity management. In order to limit the Group's counterparty risk, deposits are only made in a well-reputed bank. At 30 June 2021, the Groups cash and cash equivalents amounted to DKK 72.355k (2018/2020: DKK 525k). The cash reserve and expected cash flow for 2021/22 are considered to be adequate to meet the obligations of the Group as they fall due.
Maturity analysis
The tables below analyse the Group's financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on their contractual maturities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due within 12 months equal their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.

Classification of financial assets and liabilities measured at amortised cost
Since the Group's financial instruments measured at amortised cost are either short-term and/or exposed to floating interest rates, management has assessed that the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

21. Capital management
The group's objective when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern, so that the company can provide future returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and obtain an optimal capital structure.

11. Financial risk, financial instruments and management
Financial risk factors
The Group manages financial risks centralised in Valuer Holding A/S. The Group identifies, monitors, assesses and mitigates financial risk at headquarter in cooperation with the Group's business units. The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk, liquidity risk and credit risk that can have a significant impact on the financial performance of the Group. Significant risks are continuously assessed by Management and the Board of Directors.
Foreign currency risk
Valuer Holding A/S is not exposed to large currency risk, as the company does not have many transactions in foreign currency.
Interest rate risk
Valuer Holding A/S is not particularly exposed to changes in interest rates as all cash at bank is set at a fixed rate. Interest rate equals -0.6% p.a.
Credit risk
Valuer Holding A/S is not exposed to external credit risks, since it does not have any transaction with any customers. Credit risk is directly related to subsidiaries of Valuer Holding A/S in connection with financing of the operation. In relation to the credit risk related to financial institutions, the Group monitors financial institutions and places funds in financial institutions with satisfactory credit ratings.
Liquidity risk
The Group ensures sufficient liquidity resources by liquidity management. In order to limit Valuer Holding's counterparty risk, deposits are only made in a well-reputed bank.

Alternative Performance Measures
Annual Recurring Revenue
Recurring revenue does not necessarily mean a binding contractual agreement. However recurring revenue is defined as revenue with a high degree of certainty for renewal. The purpose of defining Recurring Revenue is to express a level of predictability in the revenue. The higher degree of Recurring Revenue in pct. of total revenue – the more predictable is the Valuer revenue going forward.
EBITDA before Share Based Payment
The purpose of excluding share based payment is that this is a non-cash consideration and therefore different characteristics than cash-based considerations. Another purpose is that the IFRS rules for expending share based payments is uneven through the 3-year maturing period Valuer normally exercise. EBITDA excluding share based payment will therefore express a more comparable year over year development.
EBITDA exclusive IPO costs
EBITDA before IPO costs represents the business excluding the impact of one-off items, such as IPO cost to reflect a normalised level.
