1. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR 2022  
Operating business results for 2022 were in line with expectations from the beginning  
of the year, with the growth being a combination of a higher rental income, mainly  
driven by small business units (SBUs), contract renegotiations, the market situation and  
the introduction of the self-storage business. The good rental results contributed to a  
significant increase in the valuation of the company’s real estate.  
A positive net result after tax of DKK 22.1 million was recorded in 2022 (versus DKK  
26.3 million for 2021), after taking into account the updated valuation of the property.  
In executing our development strategic goals, CeMat A/S obtained a building permit  
decision for a multi-storey residential and ground floor retail project for one of the front  
plots, with an area of 5,608 sqm (in February 2022), and an individual zoning decision  
for a hotel and service building on another plot, with an area of 2,997 sqm (in August  
2022). This was the fulfilment of the long-term goal of creating a new business  
development opportunity for the CeMat Group.

Operating business  
Total revenue of the CeMat Group was DKK 26.6 million (2021: DKK 21.3 million),  
.
.
.
.
.
representing an increase of circa 25%.  
The revenue from CeMat Group rental income was over 18% higher than 2021  
(DKK 18.6 million versus DKK 15.7 million in 2021).  
The CeMat Group recorded an occupancy level of 88.9% at the end of 2022  
(versus 89.2% in December 2021).  
Consolidated EBITDA for the CeMat Group was DKK 3.5 million in 2022 (2021:  
DKK 3.4 million), which was in line with the forecasts (DKK 3-4 million).  
The average PLN to DKK exchange rate in 2022 dropped from 1.63 to 1.59, which  
affected the financial figures by reducing EBITDA by DKK 0.2 million and the net  
result after tax by DKK 0.6 million.  
Development activity  
CeMat took important steps towards fulfilling its long-term goals:  
CeMat obtained a building permit decision for a multi-storey residential and  
ground floor retail project for one of the front plots, with an area of 5,608 sqm  
(February 2022). The decision allows for the construction of 5,730 sqm of  
residential space (105 apartments) with 1,290 sqm of service premises on the  
ground floor, and underground parking level. After receiving the building permit,  
we obtained approvals from the various network administrators, and invested  
in and completed the necessary reconstruction of the media network by Q1  
2023. The contract with the general contractor has been signed, and CeMat is  
currently negotiating financing of the project with the banks. The final decision  
to kick off construction work on the “Moje Bielany” project will depend on the  
pre-sale of apartments and retail premises, and the financing conditions.  
The CeMat Group obtained a binding individual zoning decision for a hotel and  
service building on another plot, with an area of 2,997 sqm, in August 2022.  
According to the architects, the decision allows for the design of a hotel and  
service building space of approx. 2,500 sqm. Work with the architects on the  
new building permit is currently in progress, and the final figures will be verified  
in the building permit decision.  
Property value  
The higher rental income was reflected in the updated valuation of the property.  
The valuation report covering all CeMat plots located in Warsaw showed a positive  
difference of DKK 28.1 million, of which the increase in the value of plot no. 56  
of DKK 1.4 million was already stated by the company in an earlier  
announcement. About 94% of the positive difference mentioned above is due to  
the revaluation of the property as a result of the increase in rents.  
.
A positive consolidated net result after tax of DKK 22.1 million was recorded for  
the CeMat Group in 2022 (2021: profit of DKK 26.3 million).

Appointment of new CFO  
CeMat is delighted to announce that Miłosz Kocerka has been appointed as the  
new Chief Financial Officer of the CeMat Group. Miłosz succeeds Dariusz  
Biesiadecki, who recently decided to leave the organisation after six years of  
service. Previously Finance Manager and Consolidation and Controlling Manager

3. GENERAL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW  
Poland  
CeMat A/S’s activity is focused on Poland, a member of the European Union. Poland is
the largest country in Central and Eastern Europe and the fifth-largest in the EU in terms  
of both population and land area. The Polish economy has been developing at a steady  
pace for over 25 years, with GDP per capita being more than 70% of the EU average  
(in terms of purchasing power parity).  
The largest component of Poland’s economy is the service sector (62.3%), followed by  
industry (34.2%) and agriculture (3.5%).  
Last year was a successful one for the Polish economy, which continued its post-  
pandemic recovery. A new boost to the economy, which accelerated in 2022, has been  
the influx of economic migrants. The number of foreign workers registered in Poland’s  
social insurance system (ZUS) last year exceeded one million for the first time.  
The majority of foreigners registered in the Polish social insurance system come from  
Ukraine, but in recent years Poland has also attracted many Belarusians and Georgians,  
as well as growing numbers of immigrants from Turkey, India and western Europe.  
The high level of professional activity among these immigrants, resulting in a high level  
of employment among those groups, and their eagerness to set up their own companies  
may translate into an additional impulse for the country’s economy in the coming years.  
Among Ukrainians alone, 20,000 new companies were set up in Poland in 2022.  
According to the preliminary estimate, the increase in real gross domestic product (GDP)  
in 2022 was 4.9% when compared with 2021, against an increase of 6.8% in 2021  
(constant average prices of the previous year). According to the World Bank, Poland’s  
GDP should rise by 0.7% in 2023. Following strong GDP growth in 2022, economic  
growth in Poland is expected to be weaker this year due to the economy adjusting to  
higher commodity prices, falling demand from Poland’s largest trade partners and  
weaker growth in the eurozone, as well as weaker home demand accompanied by higher  
inflation, which has reduced purchasing power.  
7
 
Poland’s unemployment rate of 2.9% was the second-lowest, higher only than the Czech  
Republic (2.1%) and below Germany (3.2%) in December 2022 (Eurostat).  
Conversely, the Polish economy has one of the highest inflation rates in the EU. In order  
to tackle surging inflation, in October 2021, the Monetary Policy Council began a long  
series of interest rate hikes, which has resulted in the main reference interest rate  
increasing from 0.1% to 6.75%. However, in Q4 2022, and January 2023, the Council  
decided to leave the interest rates as they were.  
According to the latest data published by Statistics Poland, inflation in 2022 was  
14.4% year-on-year.  
Data from GUS (Statistics Poland), World Bank, Eurostat.

Development and Investment Market 2022  
The total investment volume in Poland in 2022 amounted to EUR 5.8 billion, with the  
office investment sector resuming its position as leader and overtaking the industrial  
sector in terms of volume. Compared to 2021 levels, the 2022 results confirm the  
resilience and solid foundations of the Polish investment market.  
The total investment volume in the industrial sector stood at EUR 2.0 billion in 2022.  
According to a report by Avison Young, a visible trend that that will become stronger in  
the coming years is the growing demand for brownfield land in the largest  
agglomerations, due to the continuous development of last mile logistics and the e-  
commerce market.  
Residential developers operating in the Warsaw market recorded lower total sales of  
circa 12,000 dwellings, compared to the figure of 21,000 in 2021. Such results are a  
consequence of a series of events – the outbreak of war in Ukraine and accelerating  
interest rates accompanied by inflation – which have resulted in a significant decrease  
in creditworthiness. According to data published by BIK (Credit Information Bureau), a  
significant decrease in the availability of mortgage loans resulted in the number of loans  
granted being at record low monthly levels in recent months. As a consequence, cash  
buyers were the most active market participants in the second half of 2022, purchasing  
mainly well-located smaller flats for renting out.  
At the end of June 2022, the new Developers Act came into force, bringing with it,  
among other things, contributions to the Developers Guarantee Fund and other  
changes. As a result, a record number of new units were put onto the market in Q2  
2022, with one of the reasons being the developers’ wish to sell these dwellings under  
the existing rules before they changed. The introduction of the above Act therefore led  
to a visible imbalance between the number of units marketed and sold. However, the  
scale of the artificial launches was so large that in the months after June 2022,  
developers had already begun to withhold the sale of some of these new investments.  
Consequently, some of the June offers were withdrawn from the market over the next  
few months. Developers also slowed down the marketing of new projects, which,  
combined with the withholding of sale of some investments, led to the number of offers  
decreasing to the level recorded at the end of the year.  
The average offer prices of sold units increased in Warsaw, with an average asking price  
per square metre for apartments in the capital in Q4 2022 of approximately DKK 22,300  
(2021: DKK 20,700; 2020: DKK 17,200) gross. Meanwhile, there was also increased  
activity over the past few months in terms of promotions and discounts offered by  
developers in each market, as well as flexible repayment schedules. The actual  
transaction prices were probably still significantly lower than the statistics based on  
initial offer prices would indicate.  
When it comes to the private rented sector (PRS), seven transactions were closed,  
including five projects located in Warsaw. The largest transactions in terms of volume  
regarded the acquisition of over 60 apartments in Złota 44 and the purchase of Pereca  
11 in Warsaw. Simultaneously, there are many ongoing PRS projects that have been  
the subject of forward funding agreements, thus confirming the market dynamics.

Investment Market in Poland 2022; and REDNET Property Group report.

4. OUR MISSION  
Our mission is to operate a profitable real  
estate enterprise, focusing on the leasing  
and management of the property to  
provide a cash-generating business.  
In the long term, our mission is to  
maximise the value of the properties,  
including the potential development  
activity, and deliver the best possible  
dividends to our shareholders.  
5. PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS  
The current portfolio of the CeMat Group includes, in particular, investment  
development sites and other plots located mainly in Warsaw. The CeMat buildings are  
accommodated by warehouse, production, office and social space constructed mainly in  
the 1980s.  
The Warsaw real estate, located in the Bielany district, is approximately 10 kilometres  
from the city centre. The district is very well-connected by the public transport system  
(metro, trams, buses) and the road network in/out of Warsaw.  
The surrounding area has undergone significant development over the past few years  
with a large number of new investments, including residential, retail and service  
buildings. The local real estate market is strong and there is high demand among  
investors and developers. The large modern shopping mall, Galeria Młociny, located  
2km away from the CeMat '70 property, is an example of this trend. A new 30m-high  
residential building is being constructed 400m away from the plots and an office building  
for PKO BP (a Polish bank leader) is also located in the immediate vicinity.  
11  
 
The complex has a total over 32,400 sqm of leasing space and over 159,000 sqm of  
land.

Map of Warsaw  
The CeMat Group has control of the land through: the right of possession to the site,  
the perpetual usufruct right and ownership rights. Part of the property holds the status  
of right of possession and is therefore not entered in the land and mortgage register.  
The CeMat Group has the right of possession to 57% of the Warsaw property, the  
perpetual usufruct right to circa 42% of the property and the ownership right to circa  
1% of the property.  
A necessary pre-condition for treating a plot of land as an investment product is having  
control of the land through the perpetual usufruct or ownership right.  
The potential investment value is represented by about 90% of the CeMat Group plots  
located inside the current industrial complex. The other 10% of the joint plot area  
located outside the complex are green areas and, according to the study of the spatial  
plan of Warsaw, designated for an expressway and the North Bridge route. In the future,  
determining the exact passage of these two routes will determine exactly which of these  
plots can be additionally incorporated into further development projects. It is important  
to underline that some of those plots are controlled through the right of possession and  
the CeMat Group’s control over them has to be strengthened through future municipal  
administrative procedures.  
The nature and status of the land in Bielany, Warsaw, the number of plots controlled by  
the CeMat Group and the different legal situation of the individual properties require  
that an individual approach should be adopted for each and every property. In the  
understanding of the company’s Management, such an approach can maximise the  
potential value of the individual properties, thus increasing the company’s value.

6. GOALS ACHIEVED IN 2022  
Operating business  
Operating business results for 2022 were in line with expectations from the beginning  
of the year, with the growth being a combination of a higher rental income mainly driven  
by small business units (SBUs), contract renegotiations, the market situation and the  
introduction of the self-storage business.  
The Small Business Units (SBUs) have been well received by our clients, which can be  
seen in the positive rent-roll performance. SBUs are warehouses aimed at tenants  
looking for small spaces, and they are popular among companies using ‘last mile  
logistics’, such as pure logistics operators, as well as retail and other local companies  
looking for space tailored to their needs. The tenants highlighted the unique possibility  
to rent units below 100 sqm, the property’s favourable location close to the centre of  
Warsaw, and the flexibility in lease terms.  
It is CeMat’s intention to have a second business line, and these micro-warehouses  
mark the beginning of a self-storage business. This business line, thanks to its  
convenient location directly next to residential housing estates, will also serve as a  
complementary facility for the local residents. Self-storage services are usually aimed  
at businesses and individuals on a short-to-medium-term basis. Compared to other  
European countries, the self-storage sector in Poland is currently under-represented  
and has healthy growth prospects, with locations such as Warsaw’s Bielany district being  
highly in demand among customers. CeMat is currently in the process of implementing  
software solutions to support our clients in the self-lease process.  
The transformation project to SBUs and self-storage entails rearranging selected  
existing warehouse space. This rearrangement involves demolishing some of the  
existing partition walls and constructing light structures within the existing buildings.  
The development work will take place in stages, with 3,700 sqm having been finished  
to date and an additional 2,100 sqm due to be launched in 2023.  
CeMat, Wólczyńska 133, Bielany, Warsaw  
Both the SBU and self-storage business lines will increase the rental income by making it  
possible to obtain a higher rental rate per 1 sqm of space, which in turn will translate into  
a higher income over the coming years.  
14  
 
A challenge for the revenues achieved by CeMat was the increase in the prices of electricity,  
central heating and natural gas in 2022. The dynamics and scale of the increases in energy  
prices meant it was only possible to partially pass them on to our tenants.  
At the same time, all financial figures were affected by the weakening of the PLN against  
the DKK (we assumed the rate of 1.61 in the forecast, but the full-year average rate was  
actually 1.59).  
Revenue  
The revenue of the CeMat Group was circa 25%higher than in 2021.  
Revenue for 2022 amounted to DKK 26.6 million (2021: DKK 21.3 million), comprising  
rental income of DKK 18.6 million as well as sale of utilities, including power, water and  
technical gases, and facility services, etc. to tenants of DKK 8 million.  
Rental income  
The revenue from rental income of the CeMat Group was over 18% higher  
than in 2021.  
CeMat A/S recorded a rental income of DKK 18.6 million in 2022, compared to DKK 15.7  
million in 2021.  
Rental income represents the largest component of the Group’s revenue. This income  
is based on the rental of warehouses, including Small Business Units (SBUs) and micro-  
warehouses, and offices. The increase in rental income in 2022 was partly due to the  
high demand among tenants for smaller warehouses, a higher rent per sqm, and the  
indexation of rents. The operation of SBUs and micro-warehouses instead of traditional  
warehouses can be seen in the positive rent-roll performance. Part of the increase in  
rental income derives from the inclusion of certain fees charged to tenants, which were  
previously presented as revenues from the sale of utilities. This change was dictated by  
amendments to the energy law.  
It’s worth highlighting the fact that CeMat has also actively introduced a service in the  
Ukrainian language, which has resulted in new contracts with companies relocating from  
the east.  
EBITDA  
Consolidated EBITDA for the CeMat Group was DKK 3.5 million in 2022 (2021: DKK 3.4  
million), which was in line with the forecasts (DKK 3-4 million).  
The average PLN to DKK exchange rate in 2022 dropped from 1.63 to 1.59, which  
affected the financial figures by reducing EBITDA by DKK 0.2 million.  
15  
 
CASH FLOW  
The company generated positive cash flows of DKK 3.5 million from its day to day  
business, thereof DKK 5.9 million came from the property management activity and  
DKK 2.4 million was spent on the operation of the holding company Cemat A/S.  
Occupancy level  
CeMat recorded an occupancy level of 88.9% in 2022, which was similar to the result  
at the end of 2021.  
The rearrangement of selected warehouse space for SBUs and self-storage units  
temporarily decreased the occupancy level below 90% in Q4 2022. However, this  
rearrangement will provide the basis for further increases in rental income in 2023 and  
subsequent years due to a higher rent per sqm.  
The CeMat Group signed 54 new agreements and 31 contract renewals in 2022. The  
new contracts for warehouses were concluded on stronger terms than the previous  
ones. A high level of tenant rotation is a natural situation for the CeMat Group, and the  
readiness and ability of lessees to sign short-term lease agreements translates into a  
premium in the form of higher rents with miscellaneous conditions better for the owner.  
Acquisition of shares from minority shareholders  
The Polish holding company CeMat Real Estate is continuing to acquire shares from the  
minority shareholders in CeMat '70, and controlled 93.28% as of December 2022.  
Obtaining legal title to the properties  
The CeMat Group, together with a specialist legal team, has continued with the  
approved plan and is actively working on legal action to obtain the right of perpetual  
usufruct (RPU) for selected plots. The main obstacles to obtaining legal title are the  
claims on part of the real estate and the protracted administrative processes within the  
government and local government offices.  
Claims are generally handled in the legal system and there are several appeal  
possibilities, which means that the individual claim cases typically stay in the court  
system for a number of years. All court cases involving CeMat '70 land resolved so far  
have been won by the Polish state (and hence by CeMat '70). CeMat won 3 cases in  
2022, without thereby closing those proceedings.  
An amendment to the Code of Administrative Procedure from 2021 makes it more  
problematic to declare a decision invalid after the statutory deadline, leading to the  
discontinuation of proceedings to declare the invalidity of expropriation decisions  
initiated 30 years after the decision was issued.  
Building a professional team  
In addition to the traditional rental business, CeMat has also set up a team to start its  
development business by building the necessary technical, legal and financial  
competences.  
The team is currently working with local government officials, architects and contractors  
to prepare the construction process.  
16  
 
Institute of Technology (IMiF) cooperation  
As organisations with long-standing historical links, CeMat '70 and the Institute of  
Technology (IMiF) have common business goals in resolving certain ownership and  
easement issues within the area of the joint plot. CeMat and the IMiF signed a  
cooperation agreement with a roadmap towards solving some of the easement and  
road ownership issues in 2022. The parties were actively cooperating with the local  
authority regarding these common goals.  
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY  
Land re-zoning  
The CeMat Group obtained a binding individual zoning decision for a hotel and service  
building for one of the plots, with an area of 2,997 sqm, in August 2022.  
According to the architects, the decision allows for the design of a hotel and service  
building space of approx. 2,500 sqm. The final figures will be verified in the building  
permit decision.  
After obtaining this decision, CeMat A/S adjusted the fair value of the re-zoned plot to  
the value of DKK 4.7 million and reclassified it under inventories (work in progress).  
Pre-development activity  
“Moje Bielany” Project (plot 69/8)  
CeMat obtained a building permit decision for a multi-storey residential and ground floor  
retail project and underground parking level for one of the front plots, with an area of  
5,608 sqm, in February 2022.  
The decision allows for the building of 7,082 sqm of usable area, including 105  
apartments, and 1,280 sqm of ground floor retail space. As a result, the team continued  
its work related to the preparation of the first development project, and we obtained  
approvals from the various network administrators, and invested in and completed the  
necessary reconstruction of the media network by Q1 2023.  
CeMat has signed:  
a conditional contract with a general contractor, with the condition that it is  
contingent on financing of the investment being secured;  
.
.
a contract with a broker, who is responsible for the sale of apartments to individual  
clients. The pre-sale of apartments based on reservation agreements has been  
launched. As of the publication date of the report, 14 apartments have been  
reserved and the process is continuing.  
The commercial ground floor space (1,290 sqm) is of interest to investors. The final  
decision will be made after financing for the project has been obtained and  
construction work started.

After obtaining the individual zoning decision, CeMat has started pre-development and  
design work in order to obtain the building permit. The goal is to get a building permit  
and start the pre-development work of media connections in 2023.

Cash flow in development activity  
The company spent cash in the total amount of DKK 7.1 million for development  
activities. The funds were spent on the relocation of the heating network, architectural  
services, marketing, management of development projects and increasing working  
capital.

PROPERTY VALUE  
The value of the real estate in Warsaw consists of the investment  
property valued as at 31.12.2022, in accordance with the Cushman &  
Wakefield report, at DKK 143.9 million (2021: DKK 120.5  
million) and two plots reclassified under inventories (work in progress)  
with a fair value upon reclassification of DKK 27.4 million.  
The higher income from the property is reflected in the updated valuation of the  
property and the additional individual zoning decision received in August 2022.  
Net result after tax  
The positive net result of DKK 22.1 million was recorded for  
the CeMat Group in 2022 (versus DKK 26.3 million for 2021), which  
takes into account the updated valuation of the investment property.  
7. GOALS TO BE ACHIEVED IN 2023  
The CeMat Group’s principal tasks are to further increase the value of the rental income  
obtained, thanks to ongoing investment programmes in the existing buildings, continue  
the development activity on the plots with the aim of launching building projects, and  
maximise the value of the particular land plots.  
OPERATING BUSINESS  
Income growth  
The goal in 2023 is to increase the rental income from the property, and we are  
forecasting growth of circa 20% in rental income in 2023, in comparison to 2022.  
Leasing incomes will focus on revenues from traditional warehouses and also from the  
new business lines – small business units (SBUs) and micro-warehouses. The micro-  
warehouses are gradually transforming into self-storage projects.  
The good leasing performance contributed to the positive decision to extend the total  
area of the rearrangement to SBUs and self-storage facilities from the original 5,000  
sqm to 7,200 sqm of the existing space. CeMat estimates that full capability after these  
changes will be reached in 2024, although it does not rule out further investments in  
the SBU and self-storage segment should the positive trends and results continue.  
19  
 
Occupancy level  
The ultimate occupancy level will be closely related to the investment decisions  
concerning the next stages of transforming the warehouses into SBUs and the self-  
storage investment process, which may temporarily decrease the occupancy level next  
year. The decision on launching the next phases of the SBUs and self-storage will be  
undertaken taking into account the level of occupancy, the already completed phases  
and market demand. The goal for 2023 is to reach an occupancy level in the range of  
89-92%.  
The high level of tenant activity in Q4 2022 shows good prospects for the coming  
quarters.  
DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS  
The CeMat Group team will continue its work related to the preparation of two  
development projects: the “Moje Bielany” project (plot no. 69/8) and a new project for  
another plot, with an area of 2,997 sqm (plot 56) with a binding individual zoning  
decision for a hotel and service building.  
Development activity: “Moje Bielany” project  
The goals for 2023 are to start the construction of a residential building with 7,082  
sqm of usable area. CeMat is currently negotiating financing of the project with the  
banks. The final decision to kick off construction work on the “Moje Bielany” project  
will depend on the pre-sale of apartments and retail premises, and the financing  
conditions.  
Development activity: Plot 56  
The CeMat Group obtained a binding individual zoning decision for a hotel and service  
building on another plot, with an area of 2,997 sqm, in August 2022.  
CeMat’s goal is to obtain a building permit for apartments for rent. According to the  
architects, the decision allows for the design of a hotel and service building space of  
approx. 2,500 sqm.  
Work with the architects on the new building permit is currently in progress. The final  
figures will be verified in the building permit decision.  
Land re-zoning  
CeMat will keep open an active dialogue with the city authorities about the  
reclassification of land from its current service use to an alternative use. The goal is to  
prepare the next individual zoning decisions for the service and residential buildings.  
Obtaining legal title to the properties  
CeMat will actively continue its legal activities to enter the right of perpetual usufruct  
(RPU) in the land and mortgage register.  
Our specialist legal team will continue with the approved and diligent action plan.  
Institute of Technology (IMiF) cooperation  
One of the goals for 2023 will be to continue the dialogue and cooperation that has been  
established with the Institute management in order to arrive at mutually beneficial  
solutions, especially in terms of access to certain parts of the plot complex.  
20  
 
8. LONG-TERM GOALS  
The CeMat team will continue its work related to maximising the value of particular  
properties. Based on our long-term goals, CeMat presented the value creation chain,  
which includes obtaining legal title to the properties, getting a re-zoning decision for  
the land, obtaining the building permit, and then undertaking the pre-sale process and  
construction works.  
Value creation chain  
The future value of the properties is based on a chain of milestones that need to be  
achieved in order to obtain the maximum value of particular projects:  
1. Obtaining the legal title to the plots  
Obtaining the legal title to the plots is the first step in the value creation chain. The  
CeMat Group has control of the land through the right of possession to the site (57% of  
the Warsaw property), the right of perpetual usufruct – RPU (circa 42% of the Warsaw  
property) and ownership rights (circa 1% of the property).  
The right of possession allows us to collect rent from the properties, including  
rent from the buildings, but it does not allow us to treat such plots as investment  
.
plots for new development projects.The main effort of the legal team is to convert  
the right of possession to the right of perpetual usufruct or ownership.  
The CeMat Group cannot obtain the perpetual usufruct right to a plot of land if  
there are ongoing claims on that plot. CeMat has been actively working on legal  
action in all such cases and all court and administrative cases so far have ruled  
in line with the company’s expectations. In these cases, the legal action will  
continue, although a quick resolution is not to be expected.  
The right of perpetual usufruct is a specific Polish property ownership right which  
may be established on land owned by the State Treasury or by local government  
units (usually municipalities). A right of perpetual usufruct is established for  
between 40 and 99 years and may be renewed upon the request of the perpetual  
usufructuary.  
.
Control of the land through the right of perpetual usufruct or ownership is the  
first necessary step for considering a plot of land as an investment product.  
21  
 
2. Re-zoning of the land  
The second step in the value creation chain is re-zoning of the land. The CeMat Group  
obtained an individual zoning decision for a multi-storey residential and ground floor  
retail project for one of the front plots, with an area of 5,608 sqm (in 2021), and an  
individual zoning decision for a hotel and service building on another plot, with an area  
of 2,997 sqm (in August 2022). The total area of the re-zoned plots is 8,605 sqm  
(5.4%), out of a total area of 159,300 sqm as at 31 December 2022.  
There is no local master plan for the majority of the site. According to the study of  
conditions and directions of spatial development and land use adopted by the Warsaw  
city council, the majority of the site is located in an area zoned for service use, with  
single plots designated for roads. CeMat needs to keep an open and active dialogue with  
the city authorities about the reclassification of land from its current service use to an  
alternative use.  
Re-zoning of the land is a long process and the CeMat team is supported in it by  
architects and lawyers. The goal is to prepare a new master plan or obtain an individual  
zoning decision, which requires a dialogue to be maintained with the city architect on  
the most beneficial solution for CeMat.  
Land re-zoning is the second step for considering a plot of land as an  
investment product.  
3. Obtaining the building permit  
The next step in the value creation chain is obtaining the building permit. In order to  
obtain the permit, CeMat needs to carry out some pre-development work, including the  
design work, and obtain all the administrative permits, including building permits and  
media connection permits.  
To date, CeMat has obtained a building permit decision for a multi-storey  
residential and ground floor retail project for one of the front plots, with an  
area of 5,608 sqm (February 2022). The decision allows 105 apartments to be built,  
along with ground floor retail space. We subsequently obtained the approvals from the  
various network administrators, and invested in and completed the necessary  
reconstruction of the media network by Q1 2023.  
4. Pre-selling of the project  
Once the building permit has been obtained, CeMat’s goal is to pre-sell the projects.  
Depending on the type of space, it will be a sale either to an institutional investor or an  
individual client. In our opinion, a pre-sale minimises the risk to the success of the  
project.  
CeMat has one project that has met the conditions necessary to start pre-selling.  
5. Financing  
In the next step, it is necessary to obtain financing for the project through bank loans  
or investor financing. With bank financing, the decision is issued on the condition that  
minimum levels of the sale of apartments or service space are achieved.  
22  
 
6. Construction time  
The estimated time needed to proceed from obtaining the building permit to completion  
of the construction works is between 18 to 24 months. A residential unit is handed over  
when the customer obtains control of the flat and payment is made of the entire amount  
due under the sale agreement, after receipt of a valid occupancy permit for the building.  
After all the milestones above have been  
achieved, there will be an opportunity to  
significantly increase the value of each of  
the plots in the current portfolio for the  
best possible price. The scope of the  
additional work of the CeMat team for  
each of the plots and projects will be  
analysed on an individual basis, taking  
into account the potential risks, time  
frames, human resources and possibilities  
of obtaining additional benefits versus the  
current land value. Based on these  
factors, we will make a final decision  
about the benefits of carrying out  
development projects.  
Other opportunities  
CeMat '70 and the Institute of Technology are in dispute about the ownership of a 5,000  
sqm plot of land near Warsaw's international airport. This land has been under IMiF  
administration for more than 20 years. Both CeMat '70 and the Institute of Technology  
applied more than 20 years ago for perpetual usufruct rights, but neither of them was  
granted such right. In 2016, CeMat '70 and its legal advisers concluded, after re-  
examining the old files, that CeMat '70 should be granted title to the land and re-applied  
to the court. The first administrative decision eventually decided in favour of CeMat '70,  
but this was appealed by the IMiF and the case is now on its way again through the  
court system. The result of the case is highly uncertain.  
23  
 
9. OUTLOOK FOR 2023  
Consolidated EBITDA for the CeMat Group is expected to be approx.  
DKK 4-5 million in 2023.  
A positive net result of DKK 2.5-3 million, before taking into account the  
valuation of the investment property, is expected for 2023.  
Please note that the valuation of the investment property could change the result  
significantly because the market value depends on many factors, some of which are  
outside the company’s control  
The forward-looking statements in this annual report reflect the Management’s current  
expectations for certain future events and financial results. Forward-looking statements  
are inherently subject to uncertainty, and the actual results may therefore differ  
materially from expectations.  
Factors that may cause actual results to deviate materially from expectations include,  
but are not limited to, general economic developments, the international and regional  
situation, developments in the financial markets and changes in legislation, demand for  
the Group’s services and competition.  
10. FINANCIAL REVIEW  
The activities of the CeMat Group are comprised of a listed holding company in  
Denmark, Cemat A/S, with a property business in Poland operated through the 100%-  
owned subsidiary CeMat Real Estate, which in turn owns 93.28% of the shares in CeMat  
'70 S.A. There are no other business operations in the Danish listed company.  
CeMat '70 engages in the letting of premises and land, and the provision of utilities,  
including power, water and natural gas, and facility services etc. to its tenants. CeMat  
'70 (and its subsidiaries W131, W133 and Arkuszowa 56) have 216 tenants and, at the  
moment, an occupancy rate of approximately 88.9%.  
24  
 
INCOME STATEMENT  
Revenue for 2022 amounted to DKK 26.6 million (2021: DKK 21.3 million), comprising  
rental income of DKK 18.6 million (2021: DKK 15.7 million) and sales of utilities,  
including power and water, and facility services etc. to tenants of DKK 7.9 million (2021:  
DKK 5.6 million).  
The observed increase in sales revenue resulted from an increase in rental rates and  
conversion of part of the space into small units and self-storage boxes, which provide  
much higher rental returns than larger warehouses.  
The costs of goods and services sold totalled DKK 7.4 million in 2022, up from DKK 5.1  
million in 2021, consisting of costs for the purchase of utilities for resale to tenants. The  
increase in costs resulted from the increased prices of utilities caused by the crisis in  
Ukraine and the embargo on purchasing energy resources from Russia.  
Other external expenses amounted to DKK 10.4 million in 2022, compared with DKK  
7.6 million in 2021. This increase in external costs, as in the case of the costs of goods  
and services sold, resulted from the increased prices of utilities purchased for our own  
needs. In addition, marketing costs related to the implementation of the development  
project were also recognised. The costs of the comparative year 2021 were also lower  
due to the receipt of state aid related to the prevention of negative effects from the  
Covid-19 pandemic.  
Personnel costs recognised in the Income Statement decreased by DKK 0.1 million  
compared to the previous year, amounting to DKK 5.2 million.  
EBITDA for 2022 was a profit of DKK 3.5 million, against a profit of DKK 3.4 million for  
2021. It was also in line with the forecasts published in the Annual Report 2021 and the  
Half-Year Report 2022 (DKK 3-4 million).  
As a result of the revaluation of the investment property, a profit was recognised in the  
amount of DKK 25.3 million (after taking into account capital expenditures).  
Net financials amounted to an expense of DKK 1.0 million in 2022 (versus DKK 1.0  
million in 2021). This negative result is the effect of the implementation of IFRS 16 and  
the recognition of interest on financial leasing related to the right of perpetual usufruct,  
and interest on a working capital bank loan taken out by CeMat A/S.  
Tax on profit/loss for the year was DKK 5.7 million, which was mainly a result of the  
positive results of CeMat '70 and the increase in the deferred tax provision resulting  
from the revaluation of the investment property.  
CeMat achieved a profit after tax of DKK 22.1 million in 2022, compared to a profit of  
DKK 26.3 million in 2021.  
A positive net result of DKK 1.6 million, without taking into account the valuation of the  
investment property, was achieved, which was in line with the forecasts published in  
the Annual Report 2021 and the Half-Year Report 2022 (DKK 1-2 million).  
25  
 
CASH FLOW STATEMENT  
Cash flows from operating activities were an outflow of DKK 3.6 million in 2022. The  
company generated positive cash flows of DKK 5.9 million from property management,  
DKK 2.4 million was spent on the operation of the holding company, another DKK 7.1  
million was spent on development projects for heating network relocation, architectural  
services, marketing, project management and increasing working capital.  
Cash flows from investing activities were an outflow of DKK 5.0 million. Cash was spent  
on upgrading the company’s facilities, including fire safety and investment in SBUs/self-  
storage, and preparing the company’s properties for development or divestment.  
Cash flows from financing activities were a net outflow of DKK 0.1 million. Cash was  
spent on lease repayments and purchasing CeMat '70 shares from minority  
shareholders.  
BALANCE SHEET  
Total assets amounted to DKK 201.5 million as at 31 December 2022, primarily  
comprising the investment property with an estimated market value of DKK 158.0  
million (of which DKK 144.0 million is the value of the investment property based on its  
valuation and DKK 13.8 million is the value of the right of use resulting from the  
implementation of IFRS 16), leased plant and machinery of DKK 0.1 million, inventories  
of DKK 33.4 million, including the fair value of two plots reclassified from an investment  
property, receivables of DKK 3.0 million, and cash and cash equivalents of DKK 7.1  
million.  
The other possibilities – related to the plot in the vicinity of Warsaw airport (more details  
can be found in section 8) – as at the date of writing the report represent a book value  
of zero due to the lack of legal title and the uncertain resolution of the dispute.  
Consolidated equity as of 31 December 2022 stood at DKK 150.9 million, of which DKK  
138.3 million was attributable to the shareholders of CeMat A/S, and DKK 12.6 million  
to non-controlling interests in CeMat '70 S.A. The equity ratio was 74.9% as of 31  
December 2022.  
The Group’s liabilities totalled DKK 50.6 million as at 30 December 2022, consisting of  
lease liabilities of DKK 13.9 million, deferred tax liabilities of DKK 30.0 million, trade  
payables of DKK 1.7 million, a bank loan of DKK 1.0 million, income tax payable of DKK  
0.2 million and other liabilities of DKK 3.8 million. They were DKK 3.6 million higher in  
comparison to the end of 2021.

11. RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT  
The Group’s activities are exposed to a number of risks. Management believes that the  
key risks to consider in connection with an analysis of the Group and its activities are  
described below. The list of risks outlined below is not exhaustive and not prioritised. If  
these risks materialise, this may adversely affect the Group’s development, results of  
operations, cash flows and financial position.  
Risks relating to accounting estimates and judgments  
The Group’s investment property is measured at its estimated fair value in accordance  
with IAS 40 and IFRS 13, and any value adjustments are recognised in the income  
statement. Management has reviewed the updated valuation report received in  
December 2022 and its underlying assumptions. Management’s valuation estimate is in  
line with that indicated in the report, and the fair value consequently reflects the value  
stated in the report.  
As the property market is not in all respects as efficient and liquid as, for example, the  
equity market, there can be no assurance that a buyer willing to pay the fair value at  
which the property is stated in the financial statements can be found at any given time.  
In other words, properties are subject to a liquidity risk in a sale situation.  
Risks relating to property operations  
The Group’s financial management focuses on the operating results generated by the  
property, and the Group draws up detailed budgets for its property management  
operations. The operating performance of the property is affected by external factors,  
including economic developments and developments in the property and retail markets.  
To this should be added a number of risks that are to varying degrees controlled by the  
Group, including tenants’ capacity to pay, management of the property, developments  
in vacancy rates, and temporary rent discounts.  
These risk factors may to a greater or lesser degree impact adversely on the results of  
operations, cash flows and the financial position.  
Adverse economic developments may cause demand for leased premises to decline. In  
the long term, this may lead to a deterioration in letting conditions and put pressure on  
the rental income obtainable for individual leases.  
An economic downturn also increases the risk that tenants and other contracting parties  
will not be able to fulfil their obligations, including to pay rent, and may result in higher  
vacancy rates and temporary rent discounts, lower earnings or heavier pressure on  
return rates.  
Tenants may fail to fulfil their payment obligations, but the Group puts a lot of emphasis  
on attracting reliable and creditworthy tenants. Accordingly, when entering into a lease,  
the Group seeks as far as possible and relevant to determine the tenants’ ability to pay.  
If in future one or more tenants are unable to fulfil their payment obligations, this could  
result in lower income and the incurrence of a loss on the tenant in question and  
resulting vacancy and costs in connection with, among other things, reletting and  
repairs.  
27  
 
The increased costs of energy in 2021 and 2022, which are a fundamental factor in the  
business of some tenants, and are paid by CeMat and then re-invoiced, may also be a  
risk in the future should the tenants become insolvent.  
Master plan situation  
Land can be used for many purposes, with the main segments being industry, logistics,  
retail, services, office and residential. The area around Wólczyńska 133 previously  
housed a lot of industrial works, but in recent years more and more land has been  
converted into retail, service and residential areas. There are thousands of people living  
in low- and high-rise apartment blocks in the vicinity of CeMat '70 and more apartments  
are currently under construction, largely driven by the net inflow of people from the  
countryside to the larger metropolitan areas, in particular to Warsaw.  
There is no local master plan for the majority of the site. According to the study of  
conditions and directions of spatial development and land use adopted by Warsaw city  
council, the majority of the site is located in an area zoned for service use with single  
plots designated for roads.  
Only five plots are covered by a local master plan. According to the local master plan,  
these plots are dedicated for roads.  
In 2021, CeMat obtained an individual zoning decision for a residential building with  
services for one of the front plots.  
CeMat '70 has started a dialogue with the city authorities about re-classification of the  
land from its current service use to an alternative use. This dialogue with the city  
authorities will be continued.  
In 2022, CeMat obtained an individual zoning decision for a collective residence with  
services for one of the plots on Arkuszowa Street in Warsaw.  
The process of issuing individual planning decisions is to a large extent dependent on  
the discretion of the local authorities, and there is an ongoing discussion about  
potentially replacing this procedure with other legal solutions.  
Obtaining the legal title to part of the land  
CeMat '70 has control of the land through the possession right to the site, the perpetual  
usufruct right and ownership rights. Part of the property is not entered in the land and  
mortgage register. There has been a standstill in proceedings regarding the acquisition  
of the right of perpetual usufruct of some of the plots and it should be stated that further  
reservations may be raised. A specialist legal team has been appointed to support  
CeMat’s efforts and work on the legal action in the various court and administrative  
cases.  
28  
 
Claims for title  
The claims relate to disputes between the former landowners (or their heirs) and the  
Polish state, which expropriated the land back in the 1970s. In order for CeMat '70 to  
sell the land, the company must have title to that land either in the form of actual  
ownership or a perpetual usufruct right (RPU).  
Claims are generally handled in the legal system and there are several appeal  
possibilities, which means that the individual claim cases typically stay in the court  
system for a number of years. All court cases involving CeMat '70 land resolved so far  
have been won by the Polish state (and hence by CeMat '70).  
According to Polish law before August 2021, there was no deadline for when former  
landowners or their heirs could submit a claim to the Polish state about a specific plot  
of land or strip of road. An amendment to the Code of Administrative Procedure from  
2021 makes it difficult to declare a decision invalid after the statutory deadline, leading  
to the discontinuation of proceedings to declare the invalidity of expropriation decisions  
initiated 30 years after the decision was issued. As of today, it is difficult to say what  
the practice of the courts will be, or when the hearings will take place.  
However, once a plot of land or strip of road is free of claims, CeMat '70 can apply for  
perpetual usufruct rights, and the application will be the subject of recognition by the  
provincial governor in the enfranchisement process. When that title is obtained, future  
claims will have no impact on CeMat '70’s possibilities to sell the land.  
CeMat '70’s rights to its part of the property are not entered in the land and mortgage  
register. We cannot exclude the possibility of action against CeMat '70 regarding release  
of the real estate – plots with an unregulated legal status in the land and mortgage  
register. The President of the City of Warsaw sent a summons in an attempt to reach a  
settlement regarding plots in 2019. However, CeMat '70 refused to reach a settlement.  
Resolving co-ownership issues  
CeMat '70 and the Institute of Technology jointly own internal roads, and one particular  
plot with a large production/office building located on it, with CeMat '70 owning approx.  
71%.  
Administration  
The nature of real estate development projects requires a number of approvals, licences  
and arrangements to be obtained by CeMat at every stage of the development process.  
Despite significant caution being applied in the project execution schedules, there is  
always the risk that there will be a delay in obtaining them. In addition, there is also  
the risk that protests will be lodged against permit decisions that have already been  
issued (also due to the possibility for appellants to appeal with no consequences) or, in  
the worst-case scenario, a failure to obtain the relevant permits. All the above factors  
may affect the ability of the Group to conduct and complete its executed and planned  
projects.  
Construction costs risk  
Construction costs may increase. This potential increase is mainly related to rises in the  
costs of hiring a qualified workforce, as well as increases in the costs of building  
materials. The CeMat Group does not operate a construction business, but instead  
29  
 
concludes an agreement with a third-party general contractor for each project, who is  
responsible for running the construction and finalising the project, which includes  
obtaining all the necessary permits for safe use of the apartments.  
In order to mitigate the risk of an increase in construction costs, the CeMat Group  
recognises the possibility to conclude a lump-sum contract with the general contractor,  
which will allow the CeMat Group to complete the project based on the estimated  
budget.  
Risk of non-performance by general contractors  
In each project or stage of a project, the Group has concluded, and will conclude,  
contracts for the construction and implementation of development projects with one  
general contractor. There is a risk that non-performance of the agreement by the  
general contractor may cause delays in the project or significantly impact the business,  
financial condition or results of the CeMat Group. The CeMat Group sees a potential risk  
of the non-performance of obligations by the general contractor in the availability of a  
qualified workforce, an increase in salaries and the cost of construction materials. Non-  
performance may result in claims against the general contractor with the risk that the  
general contractor may also fail to fully satisfy any possible claims of CeMat. The  
company and the Group implement selection criteria when hiring a general contractor,  
which include the experience, professionalism and financial strength of the general  
contractor (with the obligation to provide a bank or insurance guarantee), as well as  
the quality of the insurance policy covering all risks associated with the construction  
process.  
Development risks  
These are potential problems connected with the sale of dwellings and retail units due  
to lower demand as a result of changes in the economic situation, including a tightening  
of accessibility to mortgages from banks and an increase in unemployment.  
There is also the potential risk of delay in completing the company’s projects, which  
could be caused by architect delays, a lack of construction personnel, a shortage of raw  
materials, or prolonged administrative procedures and delays with obtaining building  
and occupancy permits. There could also be potential problems with obtaining bank  
financing for the projects.  
All of the above could potentially affect the company’s cash standing and liquidity.  
Financial risks  
As a result of the Group’s activities, its equity and results of operations are impacted  
by a number of different risk factors, mainly relating to changes in exchange rates and  
interest rate levels. See Note 24 "Financial risks and financial instruments" for further  
information.  
Capital resources  
The Group’s capital resources are reviewed regularly.  
Based on the 2023 budget, Management believes that the existing capital resources  
and expected future cash flows will be sufficient to maintain operations and finance the  
planned initiatives.  
30  
 
The Group’s budgets and, by extension, its future capital resources are inherently  
subject to risk since cash flow fluctuations may impact on the level of required and  
available capital resources.  
Management believes that any negative deviations from budgeted cash flows can be  
countered on a timely basis through cash flow-enhancing activities.  
Reference is made to Note 24 to the financial statements for a description of the cash  
flows and capital resources.  
Changes in real estate prices  
Significant decreases or increases in the estimated rental value and rental situation  
would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value of the properties. The risk of a  
decrease in the portfolio value resulting from a drop in rental revenues and an increase  
in the vacancy rate is mitigated by proactive asset management and active  
management of the occupancy level.  
Environmental risks  
The property was used for industrial purposes for 40 years and, therefore, pollution  
cannot be excluded. However, a number of investigative drillings have been carried out  
across the property and, to date, no significant pollution has been identified, although  
we cannot exclude the identification of environmental risks in the future.  
Other risks  
Other risks that may affect the Group’s operations are related to potential changes in  
Polish law, insurance, the environment and personnel.  
Political risk may be related to the geopolitical situation and foreign policy.  
As regards insurance, the Group has taken out insurance cover in a number of general  
areas. In the Group’s opinion, this insurance provides satisfactory cover in respect of  
the Group’s activities. There is a risk of insufficient insurance coverage of claims,  
however.  
The Group generally strives to be regarded as an attractive workplace with a favourable  
working environment and development opportunities for all employees. The Group is of  
the opinion that there is no significant dependence on individuals in the Group and that  
staff changes will not lead to any operational or management risks.  
Additional risks:  
vacancy rate and lease termination;  
.
the condition of the buildings and possibility of capex investment;  
.
master plan situation;  
.
obtaining the legal title to part of the land;  
.

12. STATUTORY REPORTS  
Statutory report on corporate governance
CeMat’s statutory report on corporate governance, see section 107b of the Danish
Financial Statements Act, covers the period 1 January – 31 December 2022.
The report consists of three elements:
Corporate governance report
.
Description of CeMat’s management bodies
.
An account of the main features of the Group’s internal controls and risk
management in relation to the financial reporting process.
.
CeMat’s Board of Directors and Management Board continually work within corporate
governance principles to ensure that the management structure and control systems
are appropriate and satisfactory. The Board of Directors believes that clear management
and communication guidelines help to convey an accurate picture of CeMat.
The Audit Committee is handled by the Board of Directors and considers the conditions
for this to be met.
Pursuant to section 107b of the Danish Financial Statements Act and clause 4.3 of the
"Rules for issuers of Shares – Nasdaq Copenhagen", CeMat must report on how the
Group addresses the recommendations published by the Committee on Corporate
Governance in Denmark on 2 December 2020. The recommendations are available on
the website of the Committee on Corporate Governance, www.corporategovernance.dk.
In preparing the report, CeMat has adopted the "comply-or-explain" principle in relation
to each individual recommendation. The Board of Directors believes that CeMat complies
with the majority of the recommendations.
The statutory report on corporate governance 2022, see section 107b of the Danish
Financial Statements Act, may be found on CeMat’s website at:
https://cemat-en.squarespace.com/corporate-governance/
Statutory report on corporate social responsibility, see sections 99a, 99b and
99d of the Danish Financial Statements Act
In addition to carrying on profitable business activities, CeMat is committed to meeting
and expanding the Group’s ethical, social and environmental responsibilities as a
business enterprise.
CeMat divested its main activity in 2016 and, consequently, the former secondary
activity is now the Group’s main activity. Going forward, the CeMat Group is purely a
real estate business. As a result, the number of employees has been sharply reduced
and the environmental impacts are also significantly lower than previously.
33  
 
In light of the company’s size and activities, and the markets in which the Group
operates, the Board of Directors has decided not to adopt policies for the voluntary
incorporation of corporate social responsibility, including policies for human rights,
climate impact and environmental issues. The Board of Directors regularly reviews the
need to adopt policies in this area.
The Group no longer reports under the UN Global Compact.
Policy on data ethics
1. Introduction
This policy applies for CeMat A/S, including its daughter companies (collectively
referred to as “CeMat”).
The purpose of this policy is to ensure that CeMat is only using data for the
purposes and in a manner that is both ethical and compliant with applicable
legislation.
2. Policy statement
It is the policy of CeMat A/S and its group companies that all data must be
processed lawfully and in a fair and ethical manner, and that the data must be
protected appropriately considering the risks related to these data, not only for
CeMat, but also for others, who could be affected by the confidentiality,
integrity or availability of the data being compromised.
Based on the factual circumstances described in section 3, the Management has
determined that the likelihood of the inappropriate or unethical use of data is
very limited, considering:
the nature and amount of the data being processed,
the purposes for which the data is being processed,
the manner in which the data is being processed, especially since CeMat
does not use advanced algorithms to analyse or predict the behaviour of
others, and
the fact that CeMat’s use of data is unlikely to have any adverse effects
on others, and
the fact that there is no motive for using data beyond what is strictly
necessary, as this would not offer any material benefits for CeMat.
Therefore, management has assessed that aside from the formalised measures
required to comply with generally good business practice, and applicable
legislation such as the data protection legislation, no further measures are
required to protect the data against unfair or unethical use.
34  
 
3. Nature of the processing of data in CeMat A/S and daughter companies.
3.1. CeMat A/S
As a holding company with no employees, the processing of data in CeMat A/S
is – as a general rule – limited to information about members of the Board of
Directors and information about the daughter companies, including its key
employees. Data is used solely for the purpose of managing the business and
the related risks.
3.2. Daughter companies
The business of the daughter companies is to own and develop real estate in
Poland. This includes offering property for sale or for rent. The sale of property
is done through an agent, and the daughter companies will only receive the
data necessary for completing the sales transactions. With regards to property
for rent, this is only offered on a B2B basis.
Thus, the daughter companies will be processing:
Data regarding the real estate owned by the company and other data
related to the operations of the company, such as financial information.
Personal data about employees and contact persons at customers,
vendors and business partners.
As for personal data, the daughter companies have taken the steps required to
ensure that such data is processed in accordance with the applicable data
protection legislation, protecting the rights and freedoms of the data subjects.
4. Required activities
Management of the respective legal entities shall take the necessary steps to:
a)
ensure that the legal entity complies with all legal requirements for data
processing;
b)
monitor that the processing of personal data is performed in accordance
with the applicable processes and procedures, to ensure compliance with
the data protection legislation;
c)
monitor if the categories of data being processed, or the purposes for
which such data is processed, change over time;
d)
ensure that appropriate actions are taken to address any deviations noted
in relation to items a-c above.
35  
 
5. Review and updates
This policy shall be reviewed and updated as appropriate by the Board of Directors at
least on an annual basis or when changes in the business or business environments
indicate the need for a review. An annual review must be performed during the fourth
quarter of each calendar year.
Policy on diversity
CeMat regards a diverse workforce as an asset. We hire on the basis of talent and
personality and offer equal opportunities to all employees, regardless of their
background, religion, political conviction, gender or age. We encourage everyone to try
to reach their full potential in accordance with their personal ambitions and goals.
We promote a work environment of respect and inclusion and expect our employees to
be politically and religiously neutral when acting on behalf of the Group. We
acknowledge the right to unionise and bargain collectively and do everything in our
power to avoid discrimination.
Policy on gender equality in managerial positions
When selecting new members of CeMat’s Board of Directors, it is important that the
candidates have specific professional competencies and qualifications from listed
companies, as well as international experience. In addition, diversity in terms of
nationality, religion, political conviction, age and gender is taken into account. During
potential recruitment processes, employees and any external partners involved are fully
informed of the Group’s diversity policy.
At year-end 2022, the total number of employees was 28 (including the Board of
Directors and persons who work freelance), eight of whom were women. One woman
was a member of the Board of Directors, but there were no women on the Management
Board.
The current gender balance of CeMat’s managerial positions is outlined below.

Representatives from Management and members elected by the employees meet on a
regular basis to discuss the general situation and working climate in CeMat, with the
minutes of these meetings communicated to local staff. Two of the five members of the
Board of Directors of CeMat '70 were elected by the employees.
Since the company complies with the rules on gender equality in managerial positions,
it does not have an official policy in this regard.
No significant changes are planned for 2023. Instead, CeMat will focus on continuing
the good efforts already completed.
36  
 
Policy on safety  
Safety must be a priority for all CeMat employees. There were no accidents in 2022.  
CeMat believes that all injuries are preventable, all health risks are controllable and that  
management is accountable. CeMat also believes that a strong safety culture is an  
important tool for protecting our products and customers.  
Literally speaking, we want our staff to go home from work as healthy as they were  
when they arrived at their workplace. In order to attain this goal, it is a continuing  
objective to prevent injuries and work-related health risks through structured effective  
management, administration, education and training.  
Pursuant to national legislation in Poland, a health and safety body has been  
established. This safety body consists of management and an H&S specialist who holds  
overall responsibility for CeMat’s health and safety performance. The H&S specialist  
oversees compliance with applicable legislation and plans activities to minimise safety  
risks. The H&S specialist is also responsible for conducting workplace evaluations and  
implementing improvements.  
Anti-fraud and anti-corruption  
Anti-fraud and anti-corruption control is exercised by the Board of Directors and the  
Management Board of the company, with a policy based on clearly communicating the  
organisation’s values and best business practices. The policy is established on a risk  
management approach that involves identifying the key factors that influence fraud and  
corruption risk and reporting to CeMat Management.  
Environmental solutions  
Programme of actions aimed at limiting the environmental impact of existing buildings:  
Reduction of electricity consumption  
Changing the lighting of external areas (roads and car parks) to LED lighting (reducing  
electricity consumption by 50%).  
Changing the lighting of common areas (corridors and staircases) to LED lighting and  
installing motion sensors. As part of the investment into rearranging the warehouses  
into SBUs and self-storage units, energy-saving LED lighting is being installed.  
Reduction of heat energy consumption  
Automatic temperature control systems have been installed in some buildings.  
Depending on the outside temperature, time of day and day of the week, the  
temperature has been lowered to below 20˚C in the offices, and below 18˚C in the  
storage rooms.  
Waste segregation  
Waste Management Regulations have been drawn up, an agreement has been signed  
with a waste collection company ensuring the collection of waste segregated into  
individual fractions, and provisions on the requirement to segregate waste in  
accordance with the Waste Management Regulations have been added in the form of  
an appendix to the lease agreements with tenants.  
37  
 
Development projects  
Buildings that are part of development projects are designed in accordance with the  
indicators for the annual demand of a newly designed building for non-renewable  
primary energy (needed for heating, cooling, ventilation and the supply of hot water),  
as well as energy required to power lighting and all other electrical devices. In order for  
the designed buildings to meet these parameters, solutions related to the use of  
renewable energy sources (e.g. photovoltaic panels), energy-saving lighting sources or  
partitions with insulation that meet the latest standards, are also implemented.  
When designing a building to meet the energy-saving standards, we also reduce the  
planned level of energy consumption for when the building is in use.  
During the construction process, one of the environmental protection measures applied  
will involve adhering to the rules for the selective collection of construction waste. In  
addition, each contractor and subcontractor will also have to undergo appropriate  
training in the relevant environmental protection procedures that will be in force during  
the course of the construction works. These procedures must ensure compliance with  
the current environmental protection regulations, and will include in particular:  
implementation of solutions protecting against pollution and environmental  
contamination, saving water, reducing energy consumption, and protecting existing  
greenery.

15. MANAGEMENT STATEMENT
We have today presented the annual report of CeMat A/S for the financial year
1 January – 31 December 2022.
The annual report is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for annual
reports of listed companies.
In our opinion, the consolidated and parent company financial statements give a true and
fair view of the Group’s and the parent company's assets, liabilities, equity and financial
position at 31 December 2022 and of the results of the Group’s and the parent company’s
operations and cash flows for the financial year ended 31 December 2022.
Furthermore, in our opinion, the Management’s review gives a true and fair view of the
developments in the activities and financial position of the Group and the parent
company, the results for the year and of the Group’s and the parent company’s financial
position in general and describes the significant risk and uncertainty factors that may
affect the Group and the parent company.
We recommend that the annual report be approved by the shareholders in the general
meeting.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of CEMAT A/S
REPORT ON THE AUDIT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PARENT COMPANY
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Opinion
We have audited the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements of
CeMat A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2022, which comprise income statement, total
income statement, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, notes and a
summary of significant accounting policies, for both the Group and the Parent Company. The Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the
International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional disclosure requirements in
the Danish Financial Statements Act.
In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements give a
true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Parent Company at 31 December 2022, and
of the results of the Group and Parent Company operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January
- 31 December 2022 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the
EU and additional disclosure requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our extract from audit book to the audit committee and the board of directors.
Basis for Opinion
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 Consolidated Financial Statements
and the Parent Company 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 (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements 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.
To the best of our belief we have not performed any prohibited non-audit services, as stated in article 5,
subarticle 1, in regulation (EU) no. 537/2014.
We were first appointed auditor of CeMat A/S on 8 March 2017 for the financial year 2017. We were
reappointed annually by a resolution of a general meeting for a total continuous period of 1 years until
and including the financial year 2022.
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 for the financial year 2022. These matters were addressed in the
context of our audit of the Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our auditor’s opinion thereon,
and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Measurement of investment properties
The carrying amount of the Group’s investment properties is DKK (’000) 157,854 at 31 December 2022, cf.
note 9. Investment properties are measured at fair market value and the total fair market value
45  
 
adjustment of the year is a net gain of DKK (’000) 25,277 (2021: DKK (‘000) 30,723), cf. note 9 of the
Financial Statements, which is recognised in the income statement.
We have assessed that the fair market valuation is a key audit matter as the investment properties
constitute 78% of the Group’s total assets and because estimates and preconditions may have material
impact on the Financial Statements. A different estimate could potentially have a significant impact on
the Group's assets, profit and equity.
In December 2022 the company’s Management obtained a valuation report from an external valuation
expert which the value recognised in the financial statements is based upon.
We assessed that the key factors in connection with the valuation of investment properties are
particularly linked to the following elements in the management's valuation model, and our audit was
therefore focused on these elements for the individual properties and plots:
-
-
-
-
Minimum return on investment requirement
Future market rent
Ownership
Competences and independence of the external valuation expert
We refer to the further description in note 9 of the annual report.
Our audit response
We have obtained an understanding of the Management’s processes for and control of the valuation of the
investment property in Poland, challenged these and ensured that the methods and principles used is
unchanged from previous years.
We have challenged and assessed the most important preconditions forming the basis for the valuation,
including:
-
-
-
-
We assessed and tested the management's expectations for rate of return requirements by
comparison with the expectations of the previous year, assessment in relation to location and
property type and comparison of external assessments or market reports.
We assessed and tested the Group's assessment of the future rental level including comparison of
budgeted rental income for the coming year with realized rental income for the current year and
testing whether assumptions related to vacant rent are substantiated by market data.
We assessed and tested the management's assessment of the risks associated with ownership of
some of the company's plots by comparison with previous years and the history of taking over full
ownership.
We have assessed the competences and independence of the company's external valuation expert.
The valuation report is prepared by a leading international estate agent in Warsaw.
Moreover, a recalculation was performed of the model forming basis for the valuation and we have
assessed the adequacy and sufficiency of Management’s disclosures on investment properties.
Statement on Management Commentary
Management is responsible for Management Commentary.
Our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements does
not cover Management Commentary, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial
Statements, our responsibility is to read Management Commentary and, in doing so, consider whether
Management Commentary is materially inconsistent with the Consolidated Financial Statements or the
Parent Company 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 Commentary provides the information
required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.
46  
 
Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that Management Commentary is in accordance with
the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements and has been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statements Act. We did not identify
any material misstatement of Management Commentary.
Management’s Responsibilities for the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company
Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial
Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Danish Financial Statements
Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial
Statements unless Management either intends to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent
Company Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements
and the Parent Company 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company 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 Consolidated Financial Statements
and the Parent Company 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 Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to
events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and the 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 Consolidated
Financial Statements and the Parent Company 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the Consolidated Financial
Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether
47  
 
the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company 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.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken
to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company
Financial Statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our Independent 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 Independent Auditor’s Report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH THE ESEF REGULATION
As part of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements and Parent Company Financial Statements of
CeMat A/S we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether the annual report of CeMat A/S for
the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2022 with the file name CEMAT-2022-12-31.zip is prepared, in
all material respects, in compliance with the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the
European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) which includes requirements related to the

responsibility includes:
The preparing of the annual report in XHTML format;
The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF
taxonomy and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for financial information
required to be tagged using judgement where necessary;
Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the Consolidated Financial Statements
presented in human readable format; and
For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an
annual report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all
material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and
to issue a report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend
on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the
requirements set out in the ESEF Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include:
Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format;
Obtaining an understanding of the company’s iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over
the tagging process;
Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements;
Evaluating the appropriateness of the company’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF
taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF
taxonomy has been identified;
48  
 
Evaluating the use of anchoring of extension elements to elements in the ESEF taxonomy; and
Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
In our opinion, the annual report of CeMat A/S for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2022 with
the file name CEMAT-2022-12-31.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF
Regulation.

Foreign currency translation  
On initial recognition, transactions denominated in currencies other than the  
individual company’s functional currency are translated at the exchange rate  
ruling at the transaction date. Receivables, payables and other monetary  
items denominated in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the  
balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet  
date. Exchange differences between the exchange rate at the transaction  
date and the exchange rate at the date of payment or the balance sheet date,  
respectively, are recognised in the income statement under financial items.  
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, inventories and other  
non-monetary assets acquired in foreign currency and measured based on  
historical cost are translated at the exchange rates at the transaction date.  
On recognition in the consolidated financial statements of entities whose  
financial statements are presented in a functional currency other than Danish  
kroner (DKK), the income statements are translated at average exchange  
rates for the respective months, unless these deviate materially from the  
actual exchange rates at the transaction dates. In that case, the actual  
exchange rates are used. Balance sheet items are translated at the exchange  
rates at the balance sheet date.  
Exchange differences arising on the translation of foreign subsidiaries’  
opening balance sheet items to the exchange rates at the balance sheet date  
and on the translation of the income statements from average exchange rates  
to exchange rates at the balance sheet date are recognised in other  
comprehensive income.  
Foreign exchange adjustments of receivables from or payables to subsidiaries  
which are considered part of the parent company’s overall investment in the  
subsidiary in question are recognised in other comprehensive income in the  
consolidated financial statements, while they are recognised in the income  
statement of the parent company.  
1.  
ACCOUNTING POLICIES  
The consolidated and the parent company financial statements of CeMat A/S  
for 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial  
Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure  
requirements for annual reports of reporting class D entities (listed) as set out  
in the Danish Executive Order on Adoption of IFRSs issued in pursuance of the  
Danish Financial Statements Act and the rules and regulations of Nasdaq  
Copenhagen.  
The consolidated financial statements and the parent company financial  
statements are presented in Danish kroner (DKK), which is the Group’s  
presentation currency and the functional currency of the parent company.  
Implementation of new and revised standards and interpretations  
New and revised standards and interpretations applying to financial years  
beginning on 1 January 2022 have been implemented in the annual report for  
2022.  
Standards and interpretations affecting the profit/loss for the year or the  
financial position  
The implementation of new and revised standards and interpretations in the  
annual report for 2022 has not resulted in changes to presentation or  
disclosure.  
Standards and interpretations affecting presentation and disclosure  
The implementation of new and revised standards and interpretations in the  
annual report for 2022 has not resulted in changes to presentation or  
disclosure.  
Standards and interpretations not yet in force  
In Management’s opinion, the application of new and revised standards and  
interpretations will not have a material impact on the annual reports for the  
coming financial years. In other respects, the accounting policies are  
consistent with last year’s, as described in the following.  
Consolidated financial statements  
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of  
the parent company, CeMat A/S, and subsidiaries in which the parent  
company directly or indirectly holds more than 50% of the shares.  
Tax  
Tax for the year, which consists of current tax and changes in deferred tax for  
the year, is recognised in the income statement with respect to the portion  
attributable to the profit/loss for the year and directly in equity with respect  
to the portion attributable to entries directly in equity.  
Current tax payable and receivable is recognised in the balance sheet as the  
tax calculated on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for tax paid on  
account.  
The calculation of the year’s current tax is based on the tax rates and tax rules  
applicable at the balance sheet date.  
Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and tax rules that, based on  
legislation in force or in reality in force at the balance sheet date, are expected  
to apply in the respective countries when the deferred tax is expected to  
crystallise as current tax. Changes in deferred tax as a result of changed tax  
rates or rules are recognised in the income statement, unless the deferred tax  
can be attributed to items previously recognised directly in equity. In the  
latter case, the change is also recognised directly in equity.  
Deferred tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method on all  
temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of  
assets and liabilities. However, deferred tax is not recognised on temporary  
differences relating to the initial recognition of goodwill or the initial  
recognition of a transaction, apart from business combinations, and where  
the temporary difference existing at the date of initial recognition affects  
neither profit/loss for the year nor taxable income.  
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in  
subsidiaries and associates, unless the parent company is able to control  
when the deferred tax is to be realised and it is likely that the deferred tax  
will not crystallise as current tax within the foreseeable future.  
Deferred tax is calculated based on the planned use of the individual asset  
and the settlement of the individual liability, respectively.  
Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carry-forwards, are  
recognised in the balance sheet at the value at which the asset is expected to  
Basis of consolidation  
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the  
financial statements of the parent company and those of the subsidiaries,  
which are all prepared in accordance with the Group’s accounting policies.  
On consolidation, items of the same nature are aggregated and intra-group  
income and expenses, intra-group balances and shareholdings are  
eliminated. Unrealised gains and losses on transactions between  
consolidated companies are also eliminated.  
Financial statement items of subsidiaries are fully consolidated. The non-  
controlling interests’ proportionate share of the profit/loss is included in the  
consolidated profit/loss and comprehensive income for the year and as a  
separate item under consolidated equity.  
Non-controlling interests  
On initial recognition, non-controlling interests are either recognised at their  
fair value or at their pro-rata share of the fair value of the acquired company’s  
identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities. The choice of method  
is made individually for each transaction. The non-controlling interests are  
subsequently adjusted for their proportionate share of changes to the equity  
of the subsidiary. The comprehensive income is allocated to the non-  
controlling interests irrespective of the non-controlling interest consequently  
becoming negative.  
Acquisition or sale of non-controlling interests in a subsidiary not resulting in  
loss of controlling influence is recognised in the consolidated financial  
statements as an equity transaction, and the difference between the  
remuneration and the carrying amount is allocated to the parent company’s  
share of equity.  
58  
 
be realised, either through a set-off against deferred tax liabilities or as net  
tax assets to be offset against future positive taxable income. At each balance  
sheet date, an assessment is made as to whether it is likely that there will be  
sufficient future taxable income for the deferred tax asset to be utilised.  
individual attributes such as location, surroundings, accessibility,  
development potential etc. The influence of each of these attributes on value  
is assigned a percentage weighting, and the characteristics of each  
comparable and the subject are then rated, typically from 1-5, very good to  
very poor. The price of each comparable is adjusted according to how it differs  
from the subject, with the resulting adjusted average price from the  
comparables taken as providing a reasonable indication of the subject’s value.  
Industrial buildings are valued using an earnings-based approach based on  
normal earnings. Income from each lessee is expected to be generated for as  
long as the lease is in force or until the first time it may be terminated if  
considered advantageous. Thereafter, income is expected to continue to be  
generated at market rent. Adjustments are made for lost rental income,  
fitting-out deposits and un-obtainable running costs.  
The required rates of return having been set are an important input in  
estimating the fair values. The required rate of return used ranges from 12.3%  
to 13.0%.  
As regards properties where claims as to title have not yet been  
accommodated, the value is further reduced by 20% due to the risk that such  
claims will be accommodated and due to the expenses associated with this  
transitional phase.  
Adjustments of the fair value of investment property are recognised in profit  
or loss in the financial year in which the change occurred.  
INCOME STATEMENT  
Revenue  
Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or  
receivable. If interest-free credit has been granted for payment of the  
outstanding consideration extending beyond the usual credit period, the fair  
value of the payment is calculated by discounting future payments. The  
difference between the fair value and the nominal value of the consideration  
is recognised as financial income in the income statement over the extended  
credit period by using the effective interest method.  
Revenue is stated exclusive of VAT, duties, discounts, etc. levied on behalf of  
a third party.  
For leasing contracts that provide for rent exemptions, the effective rent for  
the entire contract period is used.  
Revenues from the sale of real estate (residential units, commercial space,  
etc.) are recognised at the time when the real estate purchaser takes over  
control of the real estate acquired and receives significant risks and rewards  
of ownership. According to the assessment of the management of the  
company, this takes place at the moment of handing over the real estate to  
the buyer on the basis of the acceptance protocol signed by the parties,  
provided that the buyer has made 100% payments towards the purchase  
price of the real estate.  
Investments in subsidiaries  
On initial recognition, investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost plus  
transaction costs. Where the recoverable amount of the investments is lower  
than cost, the investments are written down to this lower value.  
Cost of goods and services sold  
Cost of goods and services sold comprise direct costs incurred in generating  
the revenue.  
Inventory  
Finished products  
Finished products are mainly residential units and parking spaces. Finished  
products are valued at the lower of the two values: manufacturing cost and  
net realisable value. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price  
assessed by the Management Board of the company based on market prices.  
Work in progress  
Work in progress is valued at the lower of the two values: purchase price /  
production cost / fair value at the moment of transfer from the investment  
property (land plots) and the net realisable value. In the event of any  
discrepancies, a write-down is made. With regard to the company's  
development projects, the necessity to make an impairment loss is assessed  
on the basis of the "impairment test" described below, based on an analysis  
of the production cost and the net realisable value.  
Other external expenses  
Other external expenses include premises maintenance costs, advertising  
costs, administrative expenses, bad debts, etc. Other external expenses also  
comprise costs of development projects that do not qualify for recognition in  
the balance sheet.  
Staff costs  
Staff costs comprise wages and salaries and social security costs, pensions,  
share-based payment, etc. to the employees of the Group.  
Financial items  
Financial items comprise interest income and expenses, the interest element  
of finance lease payments, realised and unrealised foreign exchange gains  
and losses as well as surcharges and allowances under the Danish tax  
prepayment scheme.  
Inventory impairment test  
If a development project is expected to generate a loss, it results in a write-  
down of work in progress, which is immediately recognised in the profit and  
loss account.  
For each development project, budgets are prepared that include both past  
and future cash flows for each implemented project. These budgets are  
updated at least semi-annually. For the purposes of impairment testing,  
project budgets include all past and projected net revenues less the direct  
costs of land acquisition, design, construction and other costs related to  
project preparation, demonstration premises and the on-site sales office.  
These budgets are also encumbered with associated past and projected  
borrowing costs and projected customer claims (if applicable). Project  
budgets are prepared using the principle of prudent valuation. If the margin  
on the project, calculated taking into account all revenues and the above-  
mentioned costs, is positive, then there is no need to create an inventory  
impairment write-down. A negative margin indicates a potential impairment  
problem, which, after careful verification of cash flows for a given project,  
results in the recognition of an inventory impairment loss in the amount of  
the estimated negative value of this margin.  
The revaluation write-off is recognised in the cost of sales in the item  
"Adjustment of the value of inventories to the net realisable value". A possible  
BALANCE SHEET  
Investment property  
Investment property comprises properties owned for the purpose of  
receiving rent or obtaining capital gains.  
On initial recognition, investment property is measured at cost, comprising  
the purchase price and any costs directly attributable to the acquisition.  
Subsequently, investment property is measured at fair value, representing  
the price at which it is estimated that the property can be sold to an  
independent buyer at the balance sheet date.  
Investment property is divided into four groups: Internal roads; plots  
designed for external
roads; development areas; and industrial buildings.  
Internal roads; plots designed for external roads; and development areas (in  
the following referred to as “properties”) are valued using a comparative  
approach. This approach assumes the variation in prices between at least  
three comparable properties can be explained by the differences in their  
59  
 
reversal of such an impairment loss for a given project is possible if the  
expected value of the margin on this project becomes positive.  
CASH FLOW STATEMENT  
The consolidated cash flow statement is presented according to the indirect  
method and shows cash flows from operating, investing and financing  
activities as well as cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and the end of  
the year.  
The cash effect of acquisitions and divestments of entities is shown separately  
under cash flows from investing activities. Cash flows from the acquisition of  
entities are recognised in the cash flow statement from the date of  
acquisition. Cash flows from the disposal of entities are recognised up to the  
date of disposal.  
Cash flows from operating activities are presented according to the indirect  
method and stated as operating profit, adjusted for non-cash operating items  
and changes in working capital and financial income and expenses, less the  
income tax paid during the financial year attributable to operating activities.  
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments related to the  
purchase and sale of financial assets, including non-current prepayments for  
goods, subsidiaries as well as the purchase, development, improvement, sale,  
etc. of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.  
Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the size or the  
composition of the parent company’s share capital and related costs as well  
as the raising and repayment of loans, cash deposits, instalments on interest-  
bearing debt, acquisition of treasury shares and payment of dividends.  
Furthermore, cash flows regarding assets held under finance leases in the  
form of lease payments made are recognised.  
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash deposits.  
Transferring land plots from investment property to inventories  
Investment property is transferred to inventory when the development  
process has been decided and initiated, a decision on the possible way of  
developing the plot has been obtained, and expenses related to the project  
have already taken place.  
Receivables  
Receivables comprise non-current deposits in connection with the purchase  
and sale of goods and receivables from sale of goods and services. Receivables  
are classified as loans and receivables, which are financial assets with fixed or  
determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and are not  
derivative financial instruments.  
On initial recognition, receivables are measured at fair value and  
subsequently at amortised cost, which usually corresponds to the nominal  
value less write-downs for bad debts.  
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected  
credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade  
receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have  
been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past  
due. The expected loss rates are based on the payment profiles of sales over  
a period of 36 months before 31 December 2021 or 1 January 2021  
respectively and the corresponding historical credit losses experienced within  
this period. The historical loss rates are adjusted to reflect current and  
forward-looking information on macroeconomic factors affecting the ability  
of the customers to settle the receivables. The group has identified the GDP  
and the unemployment rate of the countries in which it sells its goods and  
services to be the most relevant factors, and accordingly adjusts the historical  
loss rates based on expected changes in these factors.  
Segment information  
The Group is assessed as having two segments:  
(A) Property management division comprising letting of premises  
and land and the provision of utilities to tenants, including  
power, water, natural gas, facility services, etc.  
(B) Property development – including the preparation and  
implementation of development projects, primarily in the field  
of housing and commercial space.  
Prepayments  
Prepayments comprise incurred costs relating to subsequent financial years.  
Prepayments are measured at cost.  
Provisions  
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive  
obligation as a consequence of past events during the financial year or prior  
years, and when it is likely that settlement of the obligation will require an  
outflow of the Group’s financial resources. Warranty commitments cover  
commitments to repair faulty or defective products sold within the warranty  
period.  
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the costs required to settle  
the liabilities at the balance sheet date. Provisions with an expected term of  
more than a year after the balance sheet date are measured at present value.

Lease liabilities  
IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases or  
finance leases. Lease liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12  
months are recognised, unless the underlying asset is of low value.  
At the commencement date, a lease liability is measured at the present value  
of future lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the  
interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that  
rate cannot be readily determined, the incremental borrowing rate is used.  
After the commencement date, the lease liability is 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 modification or to  
reflect revised in-substance fixed lease payments.  
Calculations of earnings per share and diluted earnings per share are specified  
in Note 8.  
Net working capital (NWC) is defined as the value of inventories, receivables  
and other operating assets less trade payables and other current operating  
liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents and deferred tax assets are not included  
in the net working capital.  
Net interest-bearing debt is defined as interest-bearing liabilities less interest-  
bearing assets, such as cash and cash equivalents.  
Other financial liabilities  
Other financial liabilities comprise bank debt, trade payables and other  
payables to public authorities. On initial recognition, other financial liabilities  
are measured at fair value less transaction costs. In subsequent periods,  
financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost, applying the effective  
interest method, to the effect that the difference between the proceeds and  
the nominal value is recognised in the income statement as a financial  
expense over the term of the loan.  
60  
 
Invested capital is defined as net working capital plus the carrying amount of  
non-current property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, less other  
provisions and non-current operating liabilities.  
EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Tax, Depreciation and Amortisation) is  
defined as EBIT plus depreciation, amortisation and goodwill impairment of  
the year.  
The estimates and assumptions applied are based on historical experience  
and other factors that Management considers reasonable under the  
circumstances, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Such  
assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unexpected events or  
circumstances may occur. In addition, the Group is subject to risks and  
uncertainties that may cause actual outcomes to deviate from such  
estimates. CeMat’s risks are described in “Risks and risk management” and in  
Note 24 “Financial risks and financial instruments”.  
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.  
Changes to accounting estimates are recognised in the reference period in  
which the change occurs and in future reference periods if the change affects  
the period in which it is made as well as subsequent reference periods.  
New standards, interpretations and amendments effective from  
1 January 2022  
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations are effective  
for the first time for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022:  
Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3),  
effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022  
Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020, effective for  
periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022  
IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets  
(Amendment – Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract),  
effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022  
Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use,  
effective for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022  
The new standards, interpretations and amendments do not have significant  
impact on the Group’s financial statements.  
Measurement of investment property  
The Group’s investment property is measured at its estimated fair value in  
accordance with IAS 40 and IFRS 13, and any value adjustments are  
recognised in the income statement. Management has reviewed the updated  
valuation report received in December 2022 and its underlying assumptions.  
Management’s valuation estimate is in line with that indicated in the report,  
and the fair value consequently reflects the value stated in the report.  
As the property market is not in all respects as efficient and liquid as, for  
example, the equity market, there can be no assurance that a buyer willing to  
pay the fair value at which the property is stated in the financial statements  
can be found at any given time. In other words, properties are subject to a  
liquidity risk in a sales situation.  
New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective  
There are a number of standards and interpretations which have been issued  
by the International Accounting Standards Board that are effective in future  
accounting periods that the group has decided not to adopt early. The most  
significant of these are:  
IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements", the amendments  
are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January  
2023  
IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and  
Errors", the amendments are effective for annual periods begin-  
ning on or after 1 January 2023  
IFRS 16 “Leases”, the amendments are effective for annual re-  
porting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2024  
IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”, the amendments are effective for  
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023  
Investments in subsidiaries  
Investments in subsidiaries are recognised in the parent company's financial  
statements at cost less any write-downs to the recoverable amount.  
Forward-looking statements  
All forward-looking statements in this annual report reflect Management’s  
current expectations for certain future events and financial results. Forward-  
looking statements are inherently subject to uncertainty, and actual results  
may therefore differ materially from expectations.  
Factors that may cause actual results to deviate materially from expectations  
include, but are not limited to, general economic developments,  
developments in the financial markets and changes in the Polish real estate  
rental market. Changes in the political climate in Poland may also affect  
forecasts and results.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES,  
ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES  
Tax asset utilisation  
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses and differences  
to the extent it is considered likely that they can be utilised through taxable  
income within a foreseeable number of years.  
In applying the Group’s accounting policies, as outlined in Note 1,  
Management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions  
about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities which cannot be  
immediately inferred from other sources.  
The annual report is published only in English.

The average number of outstanding shares is calculated as the number of days prior to a capital increase multiplied by the number of shares in circulation. If  
several capital increases are made, the number of days between the capital increases multiplied by the number of shares in circulation during the relevant  
period is added together. The sum is divided by 365.

*The fair value of one of the plots has been transferred to inventories (work in progress) in connection with the commencement of a development project.  
The Polish properties have an assessed value of DKK 157,971 thousand, of which DKK 143,889 thousand is the real estate in Warsaw, DKK 140 thousand is a  
land plot in Blichowo and DKK 13,942 thousand is right of use resulting from the application of IFRS 16. The value of the real estate in Warsaw is supported by  
an external valuation report received in December 2022, prepared by a leading international estate agent in Warsaw. The value of the land plot in Blichowo has  
been assessed by the company’s management using a comparative method.  
The value of the real estate in Warsaw represents the estate agent’s assessment of the current fair value. In addition to the general price level in the market,  
the assessment is based on these main assumptions: the present use of the property, the state of the buildings, the percentage of ownership, the income  
generated by the property and the zoning of the area. Any changes to these, particularly the percentage of ownership (i.e. the positive or negative resolution  
of former owners’ claims), changes in zoning (e.g. to residential) and the general price development of similar properties in the area, could favourably or  
adversely impact the property valuation.  
For the valuation purposes, the property was divided into four groups: internal roads, industrial schemes (buildings), development land and plots designated  
for external roads.  
For the purpose of the valuation of internal roads, development land and external roads, a comparative approach has been used whereby recent sales are used  
to determine the likely value of the subject. This approach assumes that the variation in prices between at least three comparable properties can be explained  
by differences in their individual attributes such as location, surroundings, accessibility, development potential, etc. The influence of each of these attributes  
on the value is assigned a percentage weighting, and the characteristics of each comparable and the subject are then rated, typically from 1 – 5, from very good  
to very poor. The price of each comparable is adjusted according to how it differs from the subject, with the resulting adjusted average price from the  
comparables taken as providing a reasonable indication of the subject’s value.  
Industrial buildings are valued using an earnings-based approach based on normal earnings. Income from each lessee is expected to be generated for as long  
as the lease is in force or until the first time it may be terminated if considered advantageous. Thereafter, income is expected to continue to be generated at  
market rent. Adjustments are made for lost rental income, fitting-out deposits and unobtainable running costs. Market rents applied range from DKK 55.6 per  
sqm for warehouses, to DKK 62.4 per sqm for offices and DKK 79.4 per sqm for self-storage boxes  
For the purpose of the valuation of the industrial buildings, an equivalent yield approach has been used. An equivalent yield is defined in the Glossary of Property  
Terms (2nd edition), published by Estates Gazette, as “the constant capitalisation rate applied to all cash flows, that is, the internal rate of return from an  
69  
 
investment property reflecting reversions to current market rent, and such items as voids and expenditures, but disregarding potential changes in market rents.  
Conventionally calculated on a nominal basis, assuming that rents are receivable/payable annually in arrears”.  
The required rates of return which have been set are an important factor in estimating the fair values. An equivalent yield of between 10.9% and 11.55% was  
adopted, which reflects the risks associated with a normal ownership or usufruct interest property including open-ended lease agreements and the physical  
state of the particular buildings. Using the equivalent yields mentioned above, a value of the subject was obtained reflecting an initial yield of between 9.79%  
and 13.47% and a final yield of between 12.06% and 12.99%.  
Other assumptions:  
Short-term leases: assumed to expire after their notice periods  
Letting voids: 24 months for offices / 12 for warehouse & production space  
Reletting voids: 10 months for offices / 5 for warehouse & production space  
No fit-out contributions  
Letting fees: 16.5%  
No rent-free periods and empty service charge  
Irrecoverable operating costs DKK 6.7 million (including property tax, perpetual usufruct fee, security, insurance, cost of the utilities based on the operating  
cost budget, plus management fee of 2% of market rent)  
Capital expenditure of DKK 3.7 million  
In the case of properties for which the company is not entered in the land and mortgage register as a perpetual usufructuary or owner due to claims or  
protracted administrative proceedings, the value is further reduced by 20% due to the risk that such claims will be accommodated and due to the expenses  
associated with the transitional phase.  
Valuation sensitivity to the main factors used:  
+/- DKK 3,300 thousand for a change in the price of land by 10% (applied to internal roads, development land and external roads);  
+/- DKK 15,600 thousand for a change in market rent rate by 10%
(applied to plots of land with buildings i.e. perpetual usufruct right over plot 59/17 and  
possession right over plots 69/8 and 69/3);  
- DKK 11,200 thousand for an increase in equivalent yield by 10%; + DKK 14,500 thousand for a decrease in equivalent yield by 10% (applied to plots of land  
with buildings i.e. perpetual usufruct right over plot 59/17 and possession right over plots 69/8 and 69/3);  
+/- DKK 2,000 thousand for a change in the discount for legal title by 10% (applies to plots in possession, i.e. without a legal title).

With the implementation of IFRS 9, the company has applied the simplified expected credit loss model to measure the expected credit loss allowance for all  
trade receivables. Based on the low realised losses on receivables historically, adjustments to reflect current and forward-looking information on  
macroeconomic factors affecting the ability of clients to settle the receivable such as GDP and unemployment rates do not increase the risk of losses  
significantly.

RESERVES  
The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange adjustments arising from the translation of the financial statements of entities with other  
functional currencies than DKK and the foreign exchange adjustments of receivables from or payables to subsidiaries which are considered part of  
the parent company’s overall investment in the subsidiary.  
17. LEASE
LIABILITIES  
GROUP  
Lease liabilities arise from the application of IFRS 16 and relate to the right of perpetual usufruct and the leasing of a company car. Disclosures  
regarding the depreciation charge for right-of-use assets and the carrying amount of right-of-use assets at the end of the reporting period are included  
in Note 9. Interest expense on lease liabilities is presented in Note 6. The total cash outflow for leases was DKK 956 thousand in 2022. The expense  
relating to short-term operating leases for which no lease liability was recognised at the end of the reporting period was DKK 16 thousand. The fixed  
incremental borrowing rate applied for first time recognition of lease liability was 6%. The total lease obligation was discounted using the incremental  
borrowing rate over the total lease period, which is 67 years.

The Group’s risk management policy  
Risk management is an integral part of the day-to-day management of the business and is subject to continuous review by Management. Management  
believes that all material risks, apart from financial risks, concern supplier-customer relations. Due to the nature of its operations and capitalisation,  
the Group is not particularly exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. The Group pursues a low-risk profile, with currency, interest  
rate and credit risks arising only in connection with commercial relations. It is the Group’s policy not to actively speculate in financial risks.  
The Group manages its financial risks by means of a model for managing its cash budgeting covering a period of 1 year.  
Currency risk  
Currency risk constitutes the risk of losses (or the possibility of gains) when exchange rates change. Currency risk arises when income and expense  
items in foreign currency are recognised in profit or loss or from the value adjustment of balance sheet items denominated in other currencies.  
The Group’s sales are primarily settled in PLN and cost items are typically settled in DKK or PLN. The Group does not use derivative financial  
instruments to hedge currency risks from cash flows or balance sheet items. Instead, the Group uses foreign currency to settle same-currency debt  
items, which generally reduces currency risk.

24. FINANCIAL
RISKS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)  
Credit risk  
The Group’s credit risks associated with financial activities correspond to the amounts recognised in the balance sheet. The Group assesses the need  
for insurance on individual debtors on an ongoing basis. This assessment is based on the individual debtor's present and expected future commitment  
to the Group.  
The primary credit risk of the Group is associated with trade receivables. No special credit risks are found to exist in this regard.  
Capital management  
The Group evaluates the need to adapt its capital structure on an ongoing basis. Management believes that the financing of the Group's future  
operations will be secured with the existing financial resources and cash flows from operating activities.  
As regards the free cash flow generated by the Group, first priority is to allocate free cash flows to the Group's continued expansion and shareholder  
dividends.  
For the Group, equity as a percentage of total equity and liabilities at the end of 2022 was 74.9% (2021: 72.7%). The realised return on equity for the  
Group for 2022 was 15.7% (2021: 22.0%).  
The Group’s financial gearing at the balance sheet date is calculated as follows:

Liquidity and capital resources  
At Group level, free cash and cash equivalents amounted to DKK 7.1 million at 31 December 2022, of which DKK 4.8 million are attributable to CeMat  
'70 S.A.  
Based on expectations for 2023, Management believes that the existing capital resources and the expected future cash flows will be sufficient to  
maintain operations and finance planned investments.  
The Group’s budgets, and consequently also its future capital resources, are inherently subject to risk since the extent and timing of cash flow  
fluctuations will have an impact on the Group’s capital resources. Management believes that any negative deviations in its operations relative to  
budgeted cash flows can be mitigated on a timely basis by cash flow-enhancing measures.  
Risk related to obtaining external financing  
The real estate development business, in which the Group intends to operate, requires significant initial expenditures to purchase land and to cover  
construction, infrastructure, and design costs. As such, the Group, in order to continue and develop its business, require significant amounts of cash  
through external financing by banks. The Group’s ability to obtain such financing depend on many factors, in particular, on market conditions which  
are beyond the Group’s control. In the event of difficulties to obtain the required financing, there is a risk that the scale of the Group’s development  
and pace of achieving its strategic objectives may differ from what was originally planned. In such situation as described above, there is no certainty  
whether the Group will be able to obtain the required financing, nor whether financial resources will be obtained under conditions that are favourable  
to the Group.  
Loans that the Company intends to obtain will be against variable interest rates that are based on WIBOR rates plus a margin. Therefore, changes in  
the WIBOR rates will have impact on the cash flow and the profitability of the Company.  
81  
 
24. FINANCIAL
RISKS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (CONTINUED)  
Availability of mortgages  
The demand for residential real estate largely depends on the availability of credits and loans for financing the purchase of apartments and houses  
by individuals. Possible increase in interest rates, deterioration of the economic situation in Poland, the pandemic situation and the increase in  
unemployment in Poland as well as possible administrative restrictions on lending activities of the banks may cause a drop in demand for apartments  
and houses, and therefore a decrease in interest from potential buyers in the Company's development projects, which in turn may have a significant  
adverse impact on activities, financial standing or performance of the Company.  
25. IMPLICATIONS
OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdown did not directly limit the company's operations. However, it did affect the  
operating activities of some tenants and, consequently, their financial condition.  
This resulted in the need to grant selected tenants rent concessions in order to avoid losing them, an increase in writing off bad debts and the  
termination of leasing contracts. Another negative effect of the pandemic was the lower consumption of utilities by the tenants affected by the  
lockdown and the associated lower margin on their resale. These events had a negative impact on the company's finances especially in 2020. Their  
impact on the company's finances in 2021 was limited and in 2022, the company did not experience any effects of the covid-19 pandemic.  
The company took advantage of Polish government aid programmes in 2021. Exemption from perpetual usufruct fee in the amount of DKK 0.2 million  
and partial redemption (DKK 0.6 million) of a financial subsidy from the government were recognised in the income statement under other external  
expenses.
