CEO statement
Dear reader,
As I reflect on the past year at DelfinGroup, it's with a profound
sense of achievement and an optimistic outlook towards our
future. The journey through 2024 has been one of dynamic
growth, significant milestones, and a deepened commitment to
our core values and strategic objectives. Adhering closely to
our updated strategic plan, we've made substantial advances
in our core business areas while also pushing forward our
commitments to innovation, customer satisfaction, and
sustainable business practices.
In a stride towards digital transformation, we launched Latvia’s
first digital pawnshop. The new service allows people to obtain
a secured loan by completing an application online. The
contract is also signed remotely, and the goods are sent to the
branch via parcel machines. The digital pawnshop application
makes the financial services even more accessible to
customers. This initiative is part of our broader strategy to
leverage technology to enhance customer experience.
Our operational expansion in Lithuania was another strategic
focus of 2024. Throughout the year we improved pawn lending
and retail business segments in Lithuania, while also preparing
for the launch of consumer lending. After the receipt of consumer lending license from the Bank of Lithuania we
launched the product at the end of 2024. Additionally, company managed to expand its physical presence in
Lithuania by opening two more branches in Vilnius, thus reaching operations of 7 active Banknote branches in the
capital of Lithuania. This expansion is pivotal as we continue to scale our operations and enhance our service
offerings across the Latvia and Lithuania.
It is important also to mention branch network improvements in Latvia where we expanded the Banknote XL concept
store network. New Banknote XL branches were opened in Daugavpils and Rezekne. Since the Banknote XL store
are more spacious, we can offer more goods to the client’s and diversify the product offering. For example, the new
Rezekne branch is almost 4 times larger than the previous branch which enables us to offer up to 5,000 pre-owned
goods to clients visiting the store, while previously it was only 1,000. As we see that clients show great interest in
Banknote XL we are exploring new opportunities to add new stores in 2025.
From a financial perspective, 2024 was a successful year that reflected a stable and sustainable growth, showcasing
the company’s ability to adapt to market trends and maintain strong performance. Our revenue increased to EUR
63 million (+25%), EBITDA reached EUR 21.9 million (+21%), and profit before tax grew to EUR 9.2 million (+11%).
Net profit rose to EUR 7.3 million, up 10% compared to 2023. These results confirm our ability to ensure stable
growth. Moreover, we remain focused on business development to strengthen the company's value and establish a
solid foundation for long-term growth.
This past year marked a significant milestone in the financial evolution of DelfinGroup, highlighted by our first-ever
highly successful public bond issue. We achieved an impressive capital raise of EUR 15 million, with total
subscription of 22.3 million euros which was an oversubscription of 148%. In total more than 2,700 retail and
institutional investors from the Baltic states participated in the offering representing a testament of trust and
confidence by the investment community in our strategic direction and operational stability. Also after having listed

3 new bond issues on the stock exchange in 2024, we are honoured to have more than 3,000 bondholders who
receive monthly coupon payments from DelfinGroup.
We are also thankful to more than 9,000 shareholders who have shown their trust and support into DelfinGroup.
Last year, the shareholder base grew significantly, also thanks to public share offering organized by AS ALPPES
Capital and SIA Curiosity Capital. During the offer period the two shareholders offered to sell up to 8,985,000
DelfinGroup shares, which represents 19.8% of the total DelfinGroup share capital. In total more than 1,000 investors
from the Baltic states subscribed for 8,293,780 shares and gross proceeds of 9,040,220 euros, which represented
92% of the offer volume. As a result DelfinGroup is a company with one of the largest free-float percentage on the
Nasdaq Baltic stock exchange and investors have received improved liquidity for their stocks.
Also, in 2024, DelfinGroup remained committed to our dividend policy. For the third consecutive year, we maintained
our unique practice in the Baltics of distributing quarterly dividends to our shareholders. We take pride in this
distinctive approach, which underscores our dedication to providing consistent returns to our investors. Throughout
the year, shareholders benefited from five dividend payments totalling 3.7 million euros, with a total yield of 7.6%.
Another testament of investor and stakeholder trust was the ability for the first time to receive financing from one of
the largest Latvian commercial banks Citadele banka. As a result we signed an overdraft agreement with Citadele
banka for 4.9 million euros which will help to improve company’s cash management and business development. As
of now the company has a highly diversified funding structure which is composed by 5 bond issues, 3 bank financing
and P2P investment platform. Nevertheless, we will continue to work on improving the company’s funding structure
throughout the 2025.
Our commitment to corporate social responsibility remained strong. The donation of an advanced anaesthetic device
to the Children's Hospital highlighted our ongoing commitment to the communities we serve. Such initiatives
underscore our belief in making a tangible impact on societal well-being beyond our business operations.
As we look to 2025, we are energized by our past achievements and the opportunities ahead. We plan to further
capitalize on our growth, continue our digital transformation, and enhance our operational efficiencies. Our strategy
is clear, and our team is ready to execute on our vision with precision and dedication.
I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of youour employees, who continue to drive our success; our partners,
who journey with us; and our shareholders, who trust in our direction. Your support is pivotal to our past
achievements and the foundation of our future success.
Together, we stand on the brink of another exciting year, ready to tackle new challenges and seize new opportunities.
Thank you for your unwavering support and belief in DelfinGroup.

Management report (CONTINUED)
Consumer lending segment
In 2024, the consumer lending segment continued to show stable results. Last year, DelfinGroup issued consumer
loans totalling 79.1 million euros, a 15% increase compared to 2023, while the consumer loan portfolio grew by 28%
to 104 million euros. The increase in issuance and portfolio facilitated the segment income, which increased by 30%
and reached 44.3 million euros. Overall, the segment’s issuance, portfolio, and income were the highest in the
Group’s history.
In 2024, the Group focused on portfolio quality and cost reduction for higher profitability which resulted in solid client
payment discipline and low non-performing loan proportion in the portfolio.
It is also evident from the market data that the industry is growing. According to the latest available information from
the Consumer Rights Protection Center of Latvia on 30 June 2024, the non-bank consumer lending market portfolio
grew by 20% over a twelve-month period, reaching 586.9 million euros. Overall, the increase in the industry is
facilitated by the fact that the clients in Latvia are relatively underbanked compared to other EU countries, which
leaves room for growth. Nevertheless, DelfinGroup has been able to grow faster than the market in recent years. At
the end of the first half of 2024, DelfinGroup secured a market share of 16.7% in the non-bank consumer lending
segment in Latvia, while in 2023 it was 15.4%.
Various reasons and company incentives facilitated the growth of DelfinGroup market share. The main focus of the
consumer lending segment development was digital improvements and innovation. Last year, DelfinGroup worked
on various improvements on the Banknote mobile app, which allows clients to apply for loans, overview existing loan
agreements, find the nearest branch and perform other significant actions. In 2024, the Group did the groundwork
for launching consumer lending in Lithuania which was started at the end of 2024.
Pawn lending segment
The pawn lending segment in 2024 showed positive performance by issuing 25.6 million euros, a 9% increase
compared to 2023. Also, the active pawn loan portfolio, excluding pledges available for sale grew by 18%, reaching
4.9 million euros, the highest in company history. Moreover, the segment income, including sold pawn pledges and
pledge storage commissions, grew by 12%, reaching 9.1 million euros. Although the average pawn loan amount last
year was EUR 111 an increase of 17%. Increase of average pawn loan amount was partially due to increase of the
gold price which allows clients to secure larger loans due to increased collateral value.
Also, growth has been observed at the industry level. According to the latest available information from the
Consumer Rights Protection Center of Latvia on 30 June 2024, the pawn lending portfolio in Latvia, over twelve
months, grew by 8%, reaching a total portfolio of 7.7 million euros, for the first time supassing the pre-pandemic
level. The COVID-19 pandemic was a significant burden for the industry since the pawn lending operations only
occur on-site. Still, over the last three years, we have seen recovery after lifting the restrictions in Latvia.
Furthermore, in 2024, DelfinGroup kept its leading position in the pawn lending market by having a 54% market
share at the end of the first half of 2024.
In 2024, the Group focused on user experience improvements in the pawn lending segment. The main achievement
was on the launch of the digital pawnshop that is market-disruptive product, since so far, pawn lending transactions
were happening only on-site. The Group worked on the product throughout 2023 and launched it in 2024. As a result,
clients can pawn their items entirely remotely. DelfinGroup has developed processes allowing the company to
evaluate goods after the client sends the item via parcel machine services and signs the agreement online. The
company foresees that this breakthrough will enable an increase in user experience and increase the company’s
competitiveness.
Moreover, in 2024 the Group continued developing operations of pawn lending segment in Lithuania, since this is
the first market where the company started operations outside Latvia. At the end of 2024, DelfinGroup opened seven
Banknote branches in Lithuania, where clients could receive pawn loans.

Management report (CONTINUED)
Retail of pre-owned goods segment
Considering the growing public interest in the circular economy model and extending the life of goods, the retail of
pre-owned and slightly pre-owned goods segment experienced significant growth in 2024. The sales of goods,
including the sale of pledges taken over at the pawnshop, reached 16.9 million euros, a 15% increase compared to
2023. As the Group has been focusing significantly on digitalising the business, the online store sales have grown
by 45% compared to 2023, reaching 4 million euros.
Also, in the retail of pre-owned goods segment, similar to other segments, a large focus in 2024 was made on
digitalisation. In 2024, the group made various improvements of the UX of the online store by renewing the design
of the store, integrating artificial intelligence solutions to automate item publishing at the online store. Also, the Group
put efforts into integrating the online store in the Banknote mobile app that previously provided only lending products.
The primary sources of acquisition of pre-owned and slightly pre-owned goods for DelfinGroup are the purchase of
goods directly from the customer and the realisation of unredeemed pawn loan pledges. Also, a growing portion of
the item portfolio comes from cooperation with various partners (business-to-business), from which the Group buys
slightly used and sometimes even new products that customers returned to them within the fourteen-day return
period, or demo products displayed in dealer stores for testing. The expansion of this type of cooperation ensures
that the quantity of high-quality and relatively new goods at Banknote branches and the online store increases at
more favourable prices than if customers bought them new.
In the context of business expansion in Lithuania, the retail business segment plays a significant role because it is
one of two business segments that was introduced at the beginning of the expansion.
As for 2024, the Group expects continued interest from society in fostering a circular economy, thus extending the
life cycle of consumer goods. With the Group’s focus on promoting these principles and customer experience,
DelfinGroup sees great potential in further growth of this segment and has set it as a strategic priority to develop it.

To provide financing for the development of the loan portfolio, DelfinGroup continued to use the Mintos investment
platform, with the help of which investors from more than a hundred countries invested in the loans issued by the
Group. DelfinGroup has been attracting financing with the help of Mintos since 2016, and during this time,
DelfinGroup has managed to attract investments of more than 400 million euros. As a result, the balance of
DelfinGroup liabilities on the Mintos platform as of December 31, 2024, amounted to 24.3 million euros.
Branches
As at 31 December 2024, the Group had 95 branches, 88 in Latvia and 7 in Lithuania (31.12.2023 - 96 branches,
91 in Latvia and 5 in Lithuania).
Risk management
The Group is not exposed to foreign exchange rate risk because the basic transaction currency is the Euro. The
funding of the Group consists of both fixed rate and floating rate borrowings, so the Group is exposed to variable
interest rate risk. Accurate application of the prudent strategies chosen has allowed the Group to successfully
manage its financial risks, particularly the liquidity and credit risk. All Group transactions are performed in Latvia, the
Group has no counterparties in Russia and Belarus thus the impact of the war in Ukraine and the associated
sanctions has insignificant effect on the Company’s operations. For more details regarding risk management refer
to Note 2 Material accounting Policies section s financial risk management.
Distribution of the profit proposed by the Company
In accordance with the Dividend Policy AS DelfinGroup has distributed 50% of the Group's 2024 profit. The
Management Board will make a proposal on remaining profit allocation when convening for the annual shareholders'
meeting.
The Corporate Governance Report and the Remuneration Report for 2024 has also been submitted to AS Nasdaq
Riga together with this separate and consolidated Annual Financial Report for year ended 31 December 2024 by
AS DelfinGroup.

annual accounts for the year ended 31 December 2024
(translation from Latvian)
Notes
(1) Changes in material accounting policies
Several new standards or amendments to standards are effective for 2024:
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (Amendments to IAS 1)
Non-current Liabilities with Covenants (Amendments to IAS 1)
Lease liability in a Sale and Leaseback (Amendments to IFRS 16)
Supplier Finance Arrangements (Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7)
The Group has no transactions that are affected by the newly effective standards or amendments to standards, or its accounting policies are already
consistent with the new requirements.
(2) Material accounting policies
(a) Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared based on the accounting policies and measurement principles as set out below.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the IFRS Accounting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for pawn loans that have been measured at fair value.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the information on contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the revenues and costs
for the reporting period. Although these estimates are based on the information available to the management regarding the current events and actions,
the actual results may differ from the estimates used. Critical assumptions and judgements are described in the relevant sections of the Notes to the
financial statements.
These annual financial statements are prepared and disclosed on a consolidated basis and on a standalone basis. The following subsidiaries are
included in the consolidation: SIA ViziaFinance (100%), UAB DelfinGroup LT (100%) and SIA DealShoq (100%) for the period ended 31 December
2024.
The Executive Board approved these separate and consolidated financial statements for issue on 25 April 2025. Shareholders of the Company have
the power to amend the financial statements after their issue, if necessary.
Standards issued but not yet effective
A number of new standards or amendments to standards are effective (some of which are not yet been endorsed by EU) for annual periods beginning
after 1 January 2024 and earlier application is permitted; however, the Group has not early adopted the new standards or amended standards in
preparing these consolidated financial statements and does not plan to adopt any of these standards early.
The Group is in progress of evaluating the potential effect if any of changes arise from these following new standards and interpretations.

Restatement in comparative figures due to correction of errors
The Management has identified classification error on term deposits with banks while preparing Group’s financial statements. The error relates to
incorrect classification of term deposits with banks with deposit term above 3 months as cash and cash equivalents. The error resulted in
overstatement of the Group’s and the Company’s cash and cash equivalents by EUR 454 500 in balance sheet as of 31 December 2023.

(b) Consolidation principles
Subsidiaries, which are those entities which are controlled by the Group, are consolidated. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has
rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and are no longer consolidated from the date that control
ceases. All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated in full; unrealised losses
are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Where necessary, accounting policies for
subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(c) Recognition of revenue and expenses
- Net sales
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when or as the Group satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a promised
good or service to a customer. The transfer of control is based mainly on transferring risks and rewards according to the delivery terms. The Group
principally satisfies its performance obligations at a point in time; the amounts of revenue recognized relating to performance obligations satisfied over
time are not significant. When, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied, the Group recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is
allocated to that performance obligation.
The transaction price is the amount of consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for the promised goods or services. The
transaction price is allocated to the performance obligations in the contract based on standalone selling prices of the goods or services promised.
Revenue is presented net of indirect sales taxes such as value added tax, penalties and discounts.
Income from sale of goods and precious metals contains sale of non-durable goods and precious metals at Group’s branch network and on-line shop.
For sales of goods and precious metals to retail customers, revenue is recognised when control of the goods has transferred, being at the point the
customer purchases the goods at the retail outlet or when the goods have been shipped in case of on-line sales. Payment of the transaction price is
due immediately at the point the customer purchases the goods.
Other income includes revenue from the provision of pawnshop services commission income on storage and sale of non-performing pawn loan
collateral. The performance obligation is satisfied over-time and payment is generally due when repaying the pawn loan for performing loans or upon
sale of collateral for non-performing loans.

Notes (continued)
(2) Material accounting policies (continued)
(c) Recognition of revenue and expenses (continued)
- Interest income and similar income
The Group calculates interest revenue on debt financial assets measured at amortized cost by applying the EIR to the gross carrying amount of financial
assets other than credit-impaired assets. EIR is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts through the expected life of
the financial instrument or a shorter period, where appropriate, to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability. The calculation
takes into account all contractual terms of the financial instrument and includes any fees or incremental costs that are directly attributable to the
instrument and are an integral part of the effective interest rate, but not future credit losses. The carrying amount of the financial asset or financial
liability is adjusted if the Group revises its estimates of payments or receipts. The adjusted carrying amount is calculated based on the original effective
interest rate and the change in carrying amount is recorded as interest revenue or expense.
When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired, the Group calculates interest revenue by applying the effective interest rate to the net amortised cost
of the financial asset. If the financial assets cures and is no longer credit-impaired, the Group reverts to calculating interest revenue on a gross basis.
For purchased or originated credit-impaired (POCI) financial assets, the Group calculates interest revenue by calculating the credit-adjusted EIR and
applying that rate to the amortised cost of the asset. The credit adjusted EIR is the interest rate that, at original recognition, discounts the estimated
future cash flows (including credit losses) to the amortised cost of the POCI assets.
The Group calculates interest income on pawn loans by applying the nominal interest rate to the gross carrying amount of pawn loan asset. Interest
income is calculated for the performing pawn loan portfolio and is stopped at the moment when pawn loan becomes non-performing.
- Interest expenses and similar expenses
The effective interest rate of a financial liability is calculated on initial recognition of financial liability. In calculating interest expense, the effective interest
rate is applied to the gross carrying amount of the amortised cost of the liability. The effective interest rate is revised as a result of periodic re-estimation
of cash flows of floating-rate instruments to reflect movements in market rates of interest.
- Other income
Other income is recognised based on accruals principle and when the services have been rendered.
- Expenses
Expenses are recognised based on accruals principle in the period of origination, irrespective of the moment of payment.
(d) Foreign currency
All transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the date of the respective transaction.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary
assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement of the respective period. At the balance sheet date the
rates set by the Bank of Latvia were:
31.12.2024
31.12.2023
1 EUR
1 EUR
USD
1.04
1.10
(e) Fair value measurement
‘Fair value’ is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date in the principal or, in its absence, the most advantageous market to which the Group has access at that date. The fair value of a
liability reflects its non-performance risk.
When one is available, the Group measures the fair value of an instrument using the quoted price in an active market for that instrument. A market is
regarded as ‘active’ if transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing
basis.
If there is no quoted price in an active market, then the Group uses valuation techniques that maximise the use of relevant observable inputs and
minimise the use of unobservable inputs. The chosen valuation technique incorporates all of the factors that market participants would take into account
in pricing a transaction.
The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument on initial recognition is normally the transaction price i.e. the fair value of the consideration
given or received. If the Group determines that the fair value on initial recognition differs from the transaction price and the fair value is evidenced
neither by a quoted price in an active market for an identical asset or liability nor based on a valuation technique for which any unobservable inputs are
judged to be insignificant in relation to the difference, then the financial instrument is initially measured at fair value, adjusted to defer the difference
between the fair value on initial recognition and the transaction price. Subsequently, that difference is recognised in profit or loss on an appropriate
basis over the life of the instrument but no later than when the valuation is wholly supported by observable market data or the transaction is closed out.
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Where, in the opinion of the Management, the fair values of financial assets and liabilities differ materially from their book values such fair values are
separately disclosed in the notes to the accounts. See also note 32.

(f) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised
amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(g) Employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Shortterm employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid if the Group
has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be
estimated reliably.
- Share-based payment arrangements
The grantdate fair value of equitysettled sharebased payment (SBP) arrangements granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense,
with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the
number of awards for which the related service and nonmarket performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately
recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and nonmarket performance conditions at the vesting date. For
sharebased payment awards with nonvesting conditions, the grantdate fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions
and there is no trueup for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(h) Intangible assets (including goodwill)
All intangible assets are initially measured at cost. Intangible assets are recorded at historic cost net of amortization and permanent diminution in value.
The Group has a detailed intangible assets capitalisation policy covering accounting for development projects. The Group incurs costs for development
of software and similar items, which may be capitalized. Capitalized expenditure can be either purchased or internally developed. Only those assets
are capitalised that are separately identifiable, they are controlled by the Group, for which probable future economic benefits associated with the item
will flow to the Group, and cost exceeds the minimum threshold (150 EUR) set by the Group shall be recognized. No intangible asset costs arising from
the research phase of a project are capitalized. Expenditure on research is expensed when incurred.
Amortisation commences once the item is in the location and conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management and has been accepted by the business owner. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write down each asset to its estimated
residual value over its estimated useful life as follows:
years
Patents, trademarks and similar rights
3 5
Other intangible assets (including software)
3 5
Internally developed software
4
Goodwill is initially measured at cost and arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries being the excess of the fair value of the aggregate consideration
transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests, over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If
this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the gain is recognised in profit or loss statement immediately.
The recognised goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses, if any. The Group tests goodwill
for impairment at least annually and whenever there are indications that goodwill may be impaired. Any impairment expense is recognised immediately
as an expense in profit or loss statement. If subsidiaries are disposed, gains or losses on the disposal include the carrying amount of goodwill relating
to the subsidiary sold.
The residual values, remaining useful lives and methods of amortisation are reviewed and, if required, adjusted annually.
(i) Property, plant and equipment
All property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Property, plant and equipment are recorded at historic cost net of depreciation and
permanent diminution in value. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis to write down each asset to its estimated residual value over its
estimated useful life as follows:
years
Buildings and structures
20
Other fixed assets
3 5
Leasehold improvements
1 19
Right-of-use premises
1 19
Right-of-use vehicles
3 4
The residual values, remaining useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed and, if required, adjusted annually. Property, plant and equipment
recognition is terminated in case of its liquidation or when no future benefits are expected in connection with the utilisation of the respective asset. Any
profit or loss connected with the termination of recognition (calculated as difference between the disposal gains and net book value as at the moment
of derecognition), is recognised in the profit or loss account in the period when derecognition occurs. Leasehold improvements are written down on a
straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the leasehold improvement and the term of the lease. Current repairs and maintenance
costs are charged to profit and loss account in the period when the respective costs are incurred.

(j) Investments in the subsidiaries companies in the separate financial statements
In the financial statements the investments in subsidiaries companies (SIA ViziaFinance, UAB DelfinGroup LT and SIA Dealshoq as at 31 December
2024) are carried at cost less impairment. Cost represents consideration paid for acquisition of subsidiaries as well as additional contributions to share
capital of subsidiaries. Impairment is defined as the difference between the cost and recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of the
respective asset's fair value less the costs to sell and the value in use.
(l) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realisable value. Inventories are measured using the actual cost method. The Group assesses at each
balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that inventories are impaired and makes provisions for slow-moving or damaged inventories.
Inventories loss is recognised in the period such loss is identified, writing off the relevant inventory values to the period profit and loss account.
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realisable value.
(m) Trade and other receivables
Unsecured loans
Accounts receivable comprise loans and other receivables (other debtors, advances and deposits) that are non-derivative financial assets with fixed
or determinable payments. All loans and receivables are recognised when cash is advanced to borrowers and derecognised on repayments. Loans
are initially measured at their fair value. The Group subsequently measures consumer loans at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are
met:
The financial asset is held within a business model with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows;
The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on
the principal amount outstanding (SPPI).
The Group is using a model for the recognition of impairment losses the expected credit losses (ECL) model. There is a ‘three stage’ approach which
is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the rules mean that entities will have to record an
immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables).
Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL.
The mechanics of the ECL calculations are outlined below and the key elements are as follows:
PD
The Probability of Default is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. A default may only
happen at a certain time over the assessed period if the facility has not been previously derecognised and is still in the
portfolio.
EAD
The Exposure at Default is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date, taking into account expected changes in
the exposure after the reporting date, including repayments of principal and interest, whether scheduled by contract or
otherwise, expected drawdowns on committed facilities, and accrued interest from missed payments.
LGD
The Loss Given Default is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based
on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the lender would expect to receive, including
from the realisation of any collateral. It is usually expressed as a percentage of the EAD.
The expected credit loss is calculated as a function of PD, the exposure at default EAD and the loss given default LGD.
PD ratio is calculated as proportion of historic loan portfolio amount of loans that reaches the number of past due more than 90 days or have
been sold in debt sales.
LGD calculation is based on recovered funds for loans over 90 days or loans that have been sold in debt sales. Recovered funds are
discounted using the monthly effective interest rate.
The IFRS 9 impairment model uses a three-stage approach depending on whether the claim is performing or not and if the claim is performing, whether
a significant increase in credit risk has occurred.
1. Stage 1 12-month ECL applies to all existing claims, which have no signs of significant increase in credit risk. ECL will be computed using
12-month PD that represents the probability of default occurring over the next 12 months. For those assets with a remaining maturity of less
than 12 month, a PD is used that corresponds to remaining maturity.
2. Stage 2 applies to claims, which have sign/(s) of a significant increase in credit risk (delay days > 30 days but less than or equal to 90
days). The standard requires the computation of ECL based on lifetime PD that represents the probability of default occurring over the
remaining estimated life of the financial asset. Provisions are higher in this stage because of an increase in risk and the impact of a longer
time horizon being considered compared to 12 months in Stage 1.
3. Stage 3 Financial assets are recognized in Stage 3 when there is objective evidence that the loan is impaired (delay days > 90 days).
Similar to Stage 2, the allowance for credit losses will continue to capture the lifetime ECL.
A settlement delay of 30 or more days is assessed based on their actual occurrence. The rest of the signs of increased risk and their impact have to be
analysed case by case and the change in a customer`s risk level has to be made based on management`s judgement. This assessment is symmetrical
in nature, allowing the credit risk of financial assets to move back to Stage 1 if the increase in credit risk has decreased since origination and is no
longer deemed to be significant.

(m) Trade and other receivables (continued)
Default or the possibility of it occurring in the future and can be divided into the following events:
Improbability of receiving payments. Based on objective evidence, it may be presumed that the client will be unable to settle all of the financial
obligations and the situation cannot be solved satisfactorily.
Payment delay. The contract is deemed to be non-performing if the client is no longer able or willing to fulfil payment obligations, e.g. upon
any of the following events: (a) payments are past due for more than 90 days; (b) the client does not respond to the payment reminders and
the desire to contact; (c) the client is bankrupt or deceased; (d) identity theft has been identified, i.e. misuse of the credit receiver`s identity.
The Group continuously monitors all assets subject to ECLs in order to identify if there has been significant increase in credit risk. If there is an increase,
relevant adjustments to ECL are made.
When loans cannot be recovered, they are written off and charged against allowances for loan impairment losses. They are not written off until all the
necessary legal procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss is finally determined.
The Group signed a contract with a third party for the receivable amounts regular debt sale to assign debtors for loans issued. Losses from these
transactions were recognised in the current period under other operating expenses.
The recoverability of other debtors, advances and deposits paid is valued on individual basis if there are any indications of net book value of the asset
exceeding its recoverable amount.
Any ECL on financial assets other than loan portfolio and loans to related companies is not significant.
Pawn loans
Pawn loans are non-recourse loans secured against a collateral (the pledge). If the customer does not redeem the collateral by repaying the secured
loan before the end of the contract, the Group is entitled to dispose of the goods to cover the outstanding balance of the loan. Pawn loans are recognised
when cash is advanced to borrowers and derecognised on the repayment for performing loans or sale of the collateral for non-performing loans.
Considering that that pawnshop loans do not meet the SPPI criteria, they are initially recognised and subsequently measured at fair value.
The pawn loan portfolio is divided in two categories: performing and non-performing loan portfolios. The performing loan portfolio comprises of loans
that are not yet due or loans that have been extended. The non-performing loan portfolio contains loans that have not been repaid on maturity and the
payment of which depends on the realization of the collateral.
(n) Leases
Group as lessee
The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The
Group recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use
assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The
cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the
commencement date less any lease incentives received. Unless the Group is reasonably certain to obtain ownership of the leased asset at the end of
the lease term, the recognized right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.
Right-of-use assets are subject to impairment testing.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease
term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that
depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a
purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Group and payments of penalties for terminating a lease, if the lease term reflects the Group
exercising the option to terminate. The variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit
in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced
for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change
in in-substance fixed lease payments or a change in the assessment of the option to purchase the underlying asset.

(n) Leases (continued)
Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets
The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less
from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of
equipment that are considered of low value (i.e., below EUR 4.5 thousand). Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are
recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(o) Taxes
The Group’s tax for the period consists of current and deferred tax. Current tax liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount
expected to be paid to tax authorities using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Current tax is calculated on the basis of distributed profit or in case of expenses treated as deemed profit distribution (20/80 of the net amount payable
to shareholders).
In 2024 new tax provisions relating to non-bank financial institutions were enacted determining that starting from year 2024 tax surcharge of 20 per cent
from the profit after taxes for previous year shall be calculated and paid after submission of annual report. Therefore, in addition to tax related to profit
distribution starting from year 2024 expenses for tax surcharge are recognized that is calculated as 20 per cent from gained net profit for the reporting
period.
Current tax arising from distributed profit is recognized when the shareholder makes a decision on profit distribution, while tax on deemed profit
distribution and tax surcharge is recognized in income statement in the period for which it is assessed.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their amounts
used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the
extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be reduced in realising the temporary differences. Such deferred assets and liabilities are not
recognised if the temporary differences are related to goodwill or to the initial recognition of assets or liabilities (other than in a business combination),
the arising of which (during transactions) does not affect either taxable profit or financial profit. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed on the last day
of each reporting period and is reduced to the extent that it is not probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to the Group for realising of such
assets, to an estimated amount by which the taxable profit will be reduced in future. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured using the tax rate
in effect for the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be settled, based on the tax rates (and tax laws) that have been or will be
approved by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax consequences that the Group expects at the end of the reporting period in order to pay or settle its
assets or liabilities.
(p) Borrowings
Initially borrowings are recognised at fair value amounting to the proceeds received net of transaction costs incurred. In subsequent periods, borrowings
are stated at amortised cost which is determined using the effective interest method. The difference between the proceeds received, net of transaction
costs and the redemption value of the borrowing is gradually recognized in the profit or loss over the term of the borrowing.
(q) Cash and cash equivalents
For the purposes of the cash flow statement, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand, balances of current accounts with banks and short-
term deposits with a maturity term of up to 90 days.
(r) Payment of dividends
Dividends due to the shareholders are recognized in the financial statements as a liability in the period in which the shareholders approve the
disbursement of dividends.
(s) Financial risk management
(s1) Financial risk factors
The activities of the Group expose it to different financial risks:
(s1.1) foreign currency risk;
(s1.2) credit risk;
(s1.3) operational risk;
(s1.4) market risk;
(s1.5) liquidity risk.
The Group's overall risk management is focused on the uncertainty of financial markets and aims to reduce its adverse effects on the Company's
financial indicators. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is responsible for financial risk management. CFO identifies, assesses and seeks to find solutions
to avoid financial risks acting in close cooperation with other structural units of the Group.

(s1) Financial risk factors (continued)
(s1.1) Foreign exchange risk
The Group operates mainly in the local market and its exposure to foreign exchange risk is not significant.
(s1.2) Credit risk
The Group has a credit risk concentration based on its operational specifics issuance of non-secured loans that is connected with an increased risk
of asset recoverability. The Group’s policies are developed in order to ensure maximum control procedures in the process of loan issuance, timely
identification of bad and doubtful debts and adequate provisioning for potential loss.
Regarding loan unsecured loan issuance, the Group has three methods of customer identification: (i) obtaining data that accredits the identity of a
natural person from a credit institution, (ii) verifying the customer's income, (iii) verifying the past and current obligations of the borrower. The Group
compares the information from the application form with the information received from external sources. The Group performs an automated credit
check for those customers who have successfully completed the first four phases of the credit risk underwriting process. Its Risk and Data team has
considerable experience in adding the optimal combination of alternative and traditional data sources, and knowledge of how to use the data collected
for high-quality credit risk underwriting. The Group’s credit check involves a collection of traditional credit bureau data and income information. The
Group collects data from 4-5 external sources to check the borrower’s creditworthiness and calculate the debt-to-income rate.
The Group has developed a linear rule strategy to evaluate each loan application using an automated credit risk underwriting process. The Group’s
credit risk underwriting models are developed by a centralized data science team. The Group develops its credit risk underwriting models based on
information gathered during the customer registration, loan application, customer identification, fraud screening and credit screening phases. The
Groups risk team closely monitors the quality of the data collected, validates, and verifies the completeness of the required data points. The team
ensures that the credit check strategy is aligned with the settings of the credit check model, sets data requirements for each decision step, and
ensures efficient data management. For pawn loans, the evaluation of the collaterals is performed by trained appraisers. The Group has established
an efficient and effective debt collection process and has a dedicated team that adheres to debt collection practices that are fully compliant with local
regulations.
The Group have regular monthly debt sale process developed and signed a contract with a third party for unsecured loans issued which are
outstanding between 30 to 90 days and there are timely identified indications that loans sold could default. For loans that are outstanding more than
90 days separate debt sale agreements are signed. In the case of pawn loans, the collateral is sold in branches or e-shop (the average realization
period of the collateral is 3 months).
The table below shows the maximum exposure to credit risk for the components of the Balance Sheet. Exposures are based on net carrying amounts
as reported in the Balance Sheet. The Group’s maximum credit exposures are shown gross, i.e. without taking into account any collateral or other credit
enhancements.

(s1.3) Operational risk
Operational risk is a loss risk due to external factors namely (natural disasters, crimes, etc.) or internal ones (IT system crash, fraud, violation of laws
or internal regulations, insufficient internal control). Operation of the Group carries a certain operational risk which can be managed using several
methods including methods to identify, analyse, report and reduce the operational risk. Also, self-assessment of the operational risk is carried out as
well as systematic approval of new products is provided to ensure the compliance of the products and processes with the risk environment of the activity.
(s1.4) Market risk
The Group is exposed to market risks, basically related to the fluctuations of interest rates between the loans granted and funding received, as well as
demand for the Group’s services fluctuations. The Group’s cash flows related to financing costs to some extent depend on the changes in market rates
of interest. The Group attempts to limit market risks, adequately planning the expected cash flows, diversifying the product range, and fixing funding
resource interest rates. The Group issues loans at fixed rate and has borrowings with a fixed and variable rates. As at 31 December 2024 all bond
emissions (except ISIN LV0000803914), loans from credit institutions and lease contracts amounting to 55 thousand EUR with contracts concluded in
EUR currency are with variable part denominate as 3 month EURIBOR rate, all other interest bearing liabilities are with a fixed interest rate. The interest
rate market risk is considered to be low.

The Group complies with the prudence principle in the management of its liquidity risk and maintains sufficient funds. The management of the Group
has an oversight responsibility of the liquidity reserves and make current forecasts based on anticipated cash flows. The management of the Group
performs liquidity analysis on a regular basis and ensures adequate gap between short-term liabilities and assets. Most of the Group's liabilities are
long-term liabilities. Based on performed procedures the management is of the opinion that the Group will be able to secure sufficient liquidity by its
operating activities. For analysis of financial liabilities by remaining contractual maturities please see note 33.
(s2) Management of the capital structure
In order to ensure the continuation of the Group's activities, while maximizing the return to stakeholders’ capital management, optimization of the debt
and equity balance is performed. The Group's capital structure consists of bonds issued, third party loans and finance lease liabilities, cash and equity,

(t) Significant assumptions and estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make professional judgments, assumptions and estimates which affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, incomes and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Assumptions and estimates based on those assumptions are analysed regularly to identify if changes are required. The changes in accounting estimates
are recognized in the reporting period when the estimates were changed and in all periods that follow.
Impairment losses on loans to customers
The measurement of impairment losses on loans to customers requires judgement, in particular, the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash
flows when determining impairment losses and the assessment of a significant increase in credit risk. These estimates are driven by a number of factors,
changes in which can result in different levels of allowances. The Group’s ECL calculations are outputs of complex models with a number of underlying
assumptions regarding the choice of variable inputs and their interdependencies. Elements of the ECL models that are considered accounting
judgements and estimates include:

(t) Significant assumptions and estimates (continued)
The Group’s criteria for assessing if there has been a significant increase in credit risk and allocation of loans to Stage 1 or 2;
identification of unlikeliness to pay criteria and assignment of loans to Stage 3;
development of ECL models, including the various formulae and the choice of inputs;
forward-looking macroeconomic information incorporation in the ECL models;
ECL adjustment due to decrease in debt sales;
the modelling and calculation of key parameters of the ECL models, including probability of default (PD), loss given default (LGD), and
exposure at default (EAD).
To enhance ECL models the Group uses forward-looking macroeconomic information, which is based on assumptions for the future movement of
different economic drivers and how these drivers will affect each other. As the Group’s major operations are in Latvia all data of macroeconomic
indicators published on monthly basis by Central Statistical Bureau Republic of Latvia was obtained, equalized, and compared with the Group’s year
on year 130-day delay to non-delay portfolio. This was used as a proxy for probability of default. Indicators with highest correlation are rise in
unemployment rate and consumer price index (in 2023 salary and number of employed persons aged 15-74). Based on obtained data a regression
model was created, which offers significance of the coefficient of each macroeconomic indicator. To use macroeconomic factor as forward-looking
macroeconomic information adjustment three economic scenarios with distinct economic consequences were used: a base case scenario which
comprises most likely future economic development, a less likely adverse scenario and less likely optimistic scenario. The key variables are summarized
below.

scenario at 15% likelihood (25% likelihood in 2023) and the optimistic scenario at 35% likelihood (15% likelihood in 2023). If the weighting of the adverse
scenario was to increase to 35% (45% in 2023), the expected credit loss allowance of the Group would increase by EUR 576 457 (EUR 43 782 as of
31 December 2023) and for the Company by EUR 328 440 as of 31 December 2024 (EUR 25 646 as of 31 December 2023). If the weighting of the
base case scenario was to increase to 100%, the expected credit loss allowance of the Group would increase by EUR 576 457 (decrease by EUR
39 304 as of 31 December 2023) and for the Company by EUR 328 440 as of 31 December 2024 (EUR 23 023 as of 31 December 2023).
Sensitivity analysis of changes in the Group’s ECL key parameters LGD and PD - a 500 basis points increase in the LGD ratio would increase expected
credit loss allowance by EUR 833 348 (EUR 473 461 as of 31 December 2023) of the Group and for the Company by EUR 484 059 (EUR 328 430 as
of 31 December 2023). A 500 basis points decrease would lead to decrease by EUR 833 348 (EUR 473 461 as of 31 December 2023) of the Group
and for the Company by EUR 484 059 (EUR 328 430 as of 31 December 2023). A 1000 basis points increase of PD for loans not yet due would increase
expected credit loss allowance by EUR 515 565 (EUR 325 545 as of 31 December 2023) of the Group and for the Company by EUR 273 167 (EUR
180 282 as of 31 December 2023). A 1000 basis points decrease would lead to decrease by EUR 515 565 (EUR 325 545 as of 31 December 2023) of
the Group and for the Company by EUR 273 167 (EUR 180 282 as of 31 December 2023). The ECL model inputs and parameters were reviewed and
where necessary updated. For more detailed qualitative and quantitative information on the impairment of financial assets, refer to Note 2 Material
accounting Policies section l Trade and other receivables and Note 16 Loans and receivables.
ECL arising from trade receivables or contract assets is assessed as not significant due to the nature.
SPPI for pawn loans
The SPPI assessment for pawn loans is highly judgmental. The focus in determining whether SPPI criteria are met focused on the non-recourse
aspect of the loans in combination with an relatively high risk of non-fulfillment of the loans and the pricing structure of the loans. In light of the
returns from pawn loans in case of default being closely linked to the sale of collateral it was concluded that pawn loans do not meet SPPI criteria and
therefore are required to be carried at fair value through profit or loss. The procedures for assessing and managing this risk are to some extent limited
due to the collateral used to secure the loan.

(t) Significant assumptions and estimates (continued)
Fair value of pawn loans
The measurement of fair value of pawn loans requires judgement in the estimation of the amount and timing of future cash flows when determining the
fair value of the performing pawn loans and the amount and timing of future cash flows when realizing collateral for non-performing loans.
The elements for the fair value model for the performing loans are driven by the portfolio’s effective interest rate and portfolio’s free cash flows. The
non-performing loan portfolio fair value calculations are dependent on the expected time of realization of the pledge, its market price, associated sales
costs, and relevant discount rate. The fair value model inputs and parameters are periodically reviewed and where necessary updated, refer to Note 32
Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
Net realisable value of inventories
The cost of the Group’s inventory may have to be reduced to its net realisable value if the inventory has become damaged, is wholly or partly obsolete,
or if its selling price has declined. The costs of inventory may not be recovered from sale because of increases in the costs to complete, or the estimated
selling costs. Writing inventory down to net realisable value is carried out on an item-by-item basis. The Group’s estimates of net realisable value are
based on the most reliable evidence available and take into account fluctuations of price or cost after the end of the period if this is evidence of conditions
existing at the end of the period.
Leases estimating the incremental borrowing rate
In case the Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities.
The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain
an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’,
which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease.
The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs (such as market interest rates) when available and is required to make certain entity-specific
estimates.
Leases are accounted based on contractual term, no significant judgment here.
(u) Related parties
Related parties include the shareholders, members of the Board and Supervisory Board of the Group, Supervisory Board their close family members
and companies in which the said persons have control or significant influence. Term “Related parties” agrees to Commission Regulation (EC) 1126/2008
of 3 November 2018 which took in force various IAS according to European Parliament and Council Regulation (EC) 1606/2002 mentioned in Annex of
IAS 24 “Related Party Disclosures”.
(v) Subsequent events
Post-period-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the balance sheet date (adjusting events) are reflected in the
financial statements. Post-period-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the notes when material.
(w) Contingencies
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements. They are disclosed unless an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is
possible. A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed when an inflow of economic benefits is probable.
(x) Earnings per share
Earnings per share (EPS) are calculated by dividing the net profit or loss for the year attributable to the shareholders with the weighted-average number
of shares outstanding during the year.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to the shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
during the year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares
into ordinary shares.
(y) Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision maker the Group’s
Board, which allocates resources to and assesses the performance of the operating segments of the Group. For management purposes, the Group
is organised into three operating segments based on products and services. Group’s segments are Pawn loan segment, Consumer loans segment,
Retail segment and Other operating segment. Under Other operating segment there are accounted general Group administrative operations,
services provided to related entities and real estates project development financing activities.

Notes (continued)
(9) Corporate income tax for the reporting year (continued)
In Q4 2023 a change in corporate income tax (CIT) legislation was introduced in Latvia stipulating an advance CIT payable at 20% rate on unadjusted
accounting profits of the Latvian lending operations, with the advance paid being eligible to fully offset dividend distribution tax with no expiry date.
As a result of this change, a higher tax expense was recognised fully in year 2023.
Previously in Latvia corporate income tax (CIT) was payable when the profits were distributed, not when the profits were earned. The recent changes
in the tax legislation require advance payment of CIT based on profits earned in Latvia in 2023 and future periods.
These CIT advance payments may be offset only against future profit distribution tax due. Thus, the amount of the CIT advance paid, amount of
which is calculated based on profits, despite generally being eligible for offsetting against future profit distribution tax, is expensed in the reporting
period as profits are generated. Incremental CIT expense will not arise on the Group’s dividend distribution from retained earnings generated under
the old tax regime (before 2018).
For distributions of 2023 and later period profits a theoretical 20% CIT rate would apply and would be calculated as 0.2/0.8 from net distributed
dividend (effectively 25%), but the profit distribution tax payment would be decreased by the CIT advance already paid in reporting period profits. This
incremental profit distribution tax expense would arise only if the profit distribution tax exceeded the CIT advance paid.
Deferred tax asset relates to temporary differences and tax losses carried forward from DelfinGroup LT UAB operations. There are no realization
deadlines for previous period losses, but the Group expects to realize deferred tax asset in the next five years.
Reconciliation of effective tax rate.
Current corporate income tax expenses for the years ending on 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2023 is different from the theoretical tax
amount that the Group would incur if profit before tax was taxed at the statutory rate of 20%:

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net result for the year after taxation attributable to shareholders by the weighted average number
of shares in issue during the year. The dilution effect when calculating the Diluted earnings per share comes from share options granted on 30 June
2023, 31 December 2023, 30 June 2024 and 31 December 2024 to employees of the Group. The table below presents the income and share data

Notes (continued)
(11) Intangible assets (continued)
Part of the IT employees are involved in building technical solutions for the operation of AS DelfinGroup. These systems are constantly built to meet
both external and internal needs, and these are constantly being developed. As the systems are fully developed internally by IT department, related
payroll and tax payments are capitalized for those IT employees who were involved in the development of the systems. The list of capitalized salaries
is reviewed every month and capitalized amount is determined based on the works performed. Following initial recognition of the development
expenditure as an asset, the asset is carried a cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment.
During 2024 capitalised salary and related taxes for such systems amounted to EUR 519 599 (2023 - EUR 486 830). The systems are constantly
being developed and support the issuance of loans, growth of the portfolio and sale of goods and as such ensure that the future economic benefits
will flow to the company over a long period, thus justifying capitalization.
Other intangible assets consist of outsourced IT programming services involved in building and developing technical solutions for the operations of
the Group and future economic benefits will flow to the Group over a long period related to these outsourced services, thus justifying capitalization.

(20) Share-based payments
Share option plan
In September 2021 shareholders approved an employee share option plan for employees and Management of the Group. Under the programme a
total of 450 000 new shares can be issued. In December 2022 employees were granted first stock options under the employee share option plan.
According to the Company’s share option plan, share options of the parent are granted to all employees of the Company. The right to receive employee
options belongs to those employees of the company who meet the following conditions:
- Employee has been with the company for at least 12 months;
- Employee has achieved the individual goals set for him by the Management and has contributed to achieving the common business goals.
To exercise the share options the option holder has to be employed with the Group. Upon exercising their personnel options, option holders are
entitled to receive the Company's newly issued shares for a fee. The price of one share of the Company's new issue is EUR 0.10 (10 cents). The
minimum term of holding employee options from their allocation to the day the option holder is entitled to exercise the option rights is 12 months. The
options have to be exercised within a month after their vesting date and there are no cash settlement alternatives.
The Group recognized expenses in amount of EUR 66 750 during the reporting year (EUR 96 955 in 2023) in relation to the respective share option
plan and reversed expenses in amount of EUR 13 158 during reporting year (EUR 20 201 in 2023) as not all employees that held options exercised
them and others left the Company during 12 months after options were granted and were not able to exercise them. The remaining 244 515 options
of the plan whilst approved for use in future SBP schemes, have not been included in SBP contracts yet, hence no expense recognised in the year.

Fair value calculations
The fair value of share options is estimated at the grant date by using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. When estimating the fair value of options,
the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted are considered, as well as making estimates on some of the assumptions to adjust
for the BlackScholes model’s calculations. The inputs used in the model are market observable whenever possible including the share price, expected
dividend yield and risk-free rate. The weighted average fair value of options granted at the measurement date was EUR 0.90056 to 0.90776 (EUR
1.1161 to 1.1680 in 2023).
The following table lists the key inputs used for calculating of fair value:

On 16 October 2024, the Company registered a commercial pledge by pledging its assets for a maximum amount of EUR 6.37 million as collateral
registered to Citadele banka AS. On October 16, 2024, the Company's subsidiary signed a guarantee agreement, assuming the obligation to be liable

As of 31 December 2024, the amount of secured liabilities constitutes EUR 41 689 242 (As of 31 December 2023 EUR 36 704 326).
In 2024, the Consumer Rights Protection Centre (hereinafter CRPC) initiated two administrative proceedings against ViziaFinance SIA and, in 2025,
one proceeding against DelfinGroup AS. One of the cases concerning ViziaFinance SIA relates to the application of debt collection costs to borrowers.
ViziaFinance SIA has submitted its written response and supporting arguments to the CRPC and has also met with the CRPC to discuss possible
improvements to its debt collection practices. ViziaFinance will submit a proposal for possible (non-substantive) changes to the CRPC by the end of
April.
The second case, brought against ViziaFinance SIA and DelfinGroup AS, pertains to the assessment of borrower creditworthiness and its compliance
with applicable regulatory requirements. In this matter, ViziaFinance SIA has submitted its response, while DelfinGroup AS is in the process of
preparing its position and arguments for submission to the CRPC.
The CRPC may impose fines to ViziaFinance SIA and DelfinGroup AS in accordance with Section 15.

point 1
1
of the Unfair Commercial Practices
Prohibition Law, which sets out the maximum applicable penalty amount. However, the Group’s management does not acknowledge any breach of
regulatory requirements and have received legal opinion from one of the largest legal offices in Latvia supporting its position. As at the date of signing
these financial statements, no final decisions have been issued by the CRPC. Management does not believe that the outcome of these cases will
require significant adjustments to the financial statements.
Additionally, based on public information disclosed by the CRPC, consumers may submit claims against DelfinGroup AS and ViziaFinance SIA in
relation to alleged deficiencies in creditworthiness assessments. To date, only a limited number of such claims have been received. Management
does not consider that these will result in probable outflows of economic benefits, as it maintains that the Group has complied with legal requirements
and that borrowers were obligated to provide accurate information on their financial liabilities at the time of application.
(32) Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or
indirectly; and
Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market
data.
Valuation techniques include net present value and discounted cash flow models, comparison with similar instruments for which observable market
prices exist, Black-Scholes and option pricing models. Assumptions and inputs used in valuation techniques include risk-free and benchmark interest
rates, other premiums used in estimating discount rates, and expected price volatilities.
The objective of valuation techniques is to arrive at a fair value measurement that reflects the price that would be received to sell the asset or paid to
transfer the liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
For more complex instruments, the Group uses proprietary valuation models, which are usually developed from recognised valuation models. Some
or all of the significant inputs into these models may not be observable in the market, and may be derived from market prices or rates or estimated
based on assumptions. Examples of instruments involving significant unobservable inputs include the valuation of pawn loan portfolio. Valuation
models that employ significant unobservable inputs require a higher degree of management judgement and estimation in the determination of fair
value. Management judgement and estimation are usually required for the selection of the appropriate valuation model to be used, determination of
expected future cash flows on the financial instrument being valued and selection of appropriate discount rates.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Group has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and
risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above. Also set out below is a comparison by class of the carrying
amounts and fair values of the Company’s and the Group’s financial instruments that are not carried at fair value in the Consolidated balance sheet.
The table does not include the fair values of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities .

(2023: 65%-85%)
Significant unobservable inputs are developed as follows:
- Sales costs and sale margins are derived from historical trends. Sales costs reflect the costs associated with the sale of the collateral
taken over and include salaries, branch expenses, marketing and others. Sales margin cap sets the limits to the amounts of margin that
are collected on sales.
- Expected cash flows are derived from the entity’s business plan and from historical comparison between plans and actual results.
The effect of unobservable inputs on fair value measurement
Although the Group believes that its estimates of fair value are appropriate, the use of different methodologies or assumptions could lead to different
measurements of fair value. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions used to reasonably possible alternative
assumptions would have the following effects.

Pawn loans

(1 128 453)
31 December 2023
Pawn loans

(721 024)
The favourable and unfavourable effects of using reasonably possible alternative assumptions for the valuation of pawn loans have been calculated
by recalibrating the model values using unobservable inputs sales costs, discount rate, expected return and sales margin cap.
Key inputs and assumptions used in the models at 31 December 2024 included:
- the average monthly discount rate of 15.7% (with reasonably possible alternative assumptions of 14.7% and 16.7%) (2023: 15.1%, 14.1% and
16.1% respectively)
- cumulative average expected return of 29.6% (with reasonably possible alternative assumptions of 31.6% and 27.6%) (2023: 30.4%, 28.5% and
32.4% respectively)
- average sales margin cap of 85% (with reasonably possible alternative assumptions of 65% and 105%) (2023: 85%, 65% and 105% respectively)
- average sales costs of 18% (with reasonably possible alternative assumptions of 8% and 28%) (2023: 18%, 8% and 28% respectively)
Collateral for pawn loans
Pawn loans made by the Group are secured by collateral of the borrower limit the Group’s claim to cash flows of the underlying collateral (non-
recourse loans). The following table sets out the principal types of collateral held against pawn loans:

The following tables stratify credit exposures for pawn loans by ranges of loan-to-value (LTV) ratio. LTV is calculated as the ratio of the gross amount
of the loan to the value of the collateral. The valuation of the collateral excludes any adjustments for obtaining and selling the collateral. The value of
the collateral for goods is determined on the collateral value at origination.

In accordance with the ’Law on Audit Services’ of the Republic of Latvia we conducted our
audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing adopted in the Republic of Latvia
(ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’
Responsibility for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements section
of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for
Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) developed by
the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) and the
independence requirements included in the ‘Law on Audit Services‘ of the Republic of Latvia
that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the Republic of Latvia. We have
also fulfilled our other professional ethics responsibilities and objectivity requirements in
accordance with the IESBA Code and the ‘Law on Audit Services’ of the Republic of Latvia.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide
a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements of the current
period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate and
consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do
not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be
communicated in our report.

thousand).
We refer to the separate and consolidated financial statements: Note 2 (m) (Material
accounting policies), (s1.2) (Financial risk management), (t) (Significant assumptions and
estimates), Note 16.
Key audit matter
How we addressed the key audit matter
Loans and receivables issued without
pledge, collectively represent approximately
82% of the Group’s assets as at 31
December 2024 (31 December 2023:
approximately 78%) and approximately 70%
of the Company’s assets as at 31 December
2024 (31 December 2023: approximately
71%). The Group offers unsecured loan
products issued to private individuals.
ln accordance with IFRS 9, the Company
and the Group calculate impairment
allowance based on expected credit losses
("ECLs"). ECLs are estimated mainly based
on the historical pattern of losses and
changes in loan risk characteristics based
on qualitative and quantitative indicators
such as the probability of default ("PD") and
loss given default ("LGD"). The Company
and the Group incorporate forward looking
information into modelling techniques
applied.
Impairment allowance represents the
Management's best estimate of the
expected credit losses related the Loans and
receivables issued without pledge as at the

judgments.
Due to the above factors, we consider the
area to be associated with a significant risk
of material misstatement, which requires our
increased attention in the audit. As such, we
determined it to be a key audit matter.

We refer to the separate and consolidated financial statements: Note 2 (e) and (m) (Material
accounting policies), (t) (Significant assumptions and estimates), Note 16 and Note 32.
Key audit matter
How we addressed the key audit matter
The Company and the Group have a
significant balance of pawn loans. The
Company and the Group measure pawn
loans at fair value, with all changes therein
recorded in profit or loss as a consequence
of significant management judgment applied
relating to these loans not meeting the solely
payments of principal and interest (SPPI)
criteria set out in IFRS 9.
The valuation of the Company’s and Group’s
pawn loans measured at fair value involves
significant judgements and estimates made
by the management using the input from
internal valuation of collaterals, particularly
in relation to sensitivity of assumptions
Our procedures included, among others:
assessing the management judgment
made in relation to the assessment of
compliance with solely payments of
principal and interest criteria for pawn
loans by inspecting the general terms and
conditions applied to pawn loans,
inspecting statistics relating to past
outcomes for defaulted pawn loans in
relation to realisation of collateral;
based on our understanding of the
Company’s and Group’s approach to
valuation of pawn loans, assessing the
applied valuation methodology against
regarding selling costs of collateral, discount
rates and cash flow projections.
Due to the above factors, we consider the
area to be associated with a significant risk
of material misstatement, which requires our
increased attention in the audit. As such, we
determined it to be a key audit matter.
the requirements of IFRS 13 Fair Value
Measurement;
using our own internal valuation
specialists, challenging the valuation
methods and key assumptions applied by
the Company’s and Group’s
management, including those in respect
of selling costs of collateral, discount rates
and cash flow projections, and performing
a sensitivity analysis in respect of the
above key assumptions to evaluate the
effects of their potential changes on the
fair values;
assessing the adequacy of the
Company’s and the Group’s disclosures
on pawn loans and the valuation
techniques and significant unobservable
inputs disclosed in the notes to the
separate and consolidated financial
statements.

Related to Other Information
In addition, in accordance with the ‘Law on Audit Services‘ of the Republic of Latvia with
respect to the Management Report, our responsibility is to consider whether the Management
Report is prepared in accordance with the requirements of the ‘Law on the Annual Reports
and Consolidated Annual Reports’ of the Republic of Latvia.
Based solely on the work required to be undertaken in the course of our audit, in our opinion,
in all material respects:

separate and consolidated financial statements are prepared is consistent with the
separate and consolidated financial statements; and

, first paragraph,

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Separate and
Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as
adopted by the European Union and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of separate and consolidated financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate and consolidated financial statements, management is responsible
for assessing the Company’s and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and Group or to
cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s and Group’s
financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibility for the Audit of the Separate and Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate and
consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in
the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of
users taken on the basis of these separate and consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain
professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate and consolidated
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 Company’s and Group’s internal
control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of
accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty
exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s
and Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material
uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related
disclosures in the separate and consolidated 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the Company and Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate and consolidated
financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate and
consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves a fair presentation.
Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding
the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for
forming an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes 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 communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be 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 separate and consolidated financial
statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the
matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be
communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
Other Reporting Responsibilities and Confirmations Required by the Legislation of the
Republic of Latvia and the European Union when Providing Audit Services to Public
Interest Entities
We were appointed by those charged with governance on 10 June 2022 to audit the separate
and consolidated financial statements of DelfinGroup AS for the year ended 31 December
2024. Our total uninterrupted period of engagement is 3 years, covering the periods ending
31 December 2022 to 31 December 2024.
We confirm that:
our audit opinion is consistent with the additional report presented to the Audit Committee
of the Company and Group;
as referred to in the paragraph 37.6 of the ’Law on Audit Services’ of the Republic of
Latvia we have not provided to the Company and Group the prohibited non-audit services
(NASs) referred to of EU Regulation (EU) No 537/2014. We also remained independent
of the audited entity and group in conducting the audit.
For the period to which our statutory audit relates, we have not provided any services to the
Company and Group in addition to the audit, which have not been disclosed in the
Management Report or in the separate and consolidated financial statements of the
Company and the Group.
Report on the Auditors’ Examination of the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF)
Report
In addition to our audit of the accompanying separate and consolidated financial statements,
as included in the separate and consolidated Annual Report, we have also been engaged by
the management of the Group to express an opinion on compliance of the separate and
consolidated financial statements prepared in a format that enables uniform electronic
reporting (“the ESEF Report”) with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation
(EU) 2019/815 of 17 December 2018 supplementing Directive 2004/109/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council with regard to regulatory technical standards on the
specification of a single electronic reporting format (the “RTS on ESEF”).
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the ESEF Report
Management is responsible for the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial
statements in a format that enables uniform electronic reporting that complies with the RTS
on ESEF. This responsibility includes:
the preparation of the separate and consolidated financial statements in the applicable
xHTML format;
the selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, using judgment where
necessary;
ensuring consistency between digitised information and the consolidated financial
statements presented in human-readable format; and
the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the application
of the RTS on ESEF.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting
process.
Auditors’ Responsibility for the Examination of the ESEF Report
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether the ESEF report complies, in all
material respects, with the RTS on ESEF, based on the evidence we have obtained. We
conducted our reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard
on Assurance Engagements 3000 (Revised), Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or
Reviews of Historical Financial Information (ISAE 3000) issued by the International Auditing
and Assurance Standards Board.
A reasonable assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 involves performing
procedures to obtain evidence about compliance with the RTS on ESEF. The nature, timing
and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements of set out in the RTS
on ESEF, whether due to fraud or error. Our procedures included, among other things:
obtaining an understanding of the tagging process;
tracing the tagged data to the consolidated financial statements of the Group presented
in human-readable format;
evaluating the completeness of the Group’s tagging of the consolidated financial
statements;
evaluating the appropriateness of the Group’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the
ESEF taxonomy and creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the
ESEF taxonomy has been identified;
evaluating the use of anchoring in relation to the extension elements; and
evaluating the appropriateness of the format of the separate and consolidated financial
statements.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the ESEF Report of the Company and Group as at and for the year ended 31
December 2024 has been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the
requirements of the RTS on ESEF.
