Independent Registered Auditor’s Report
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Huuuge, Inc.
Report on the audit of separate financial statements
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying annual separate financial statements:
give a true and fair view of the separate financial position of Huuuge, Inc. (the “Company”) as at 31 December 2022 and the Company’s separate financial performance and the separate cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the applicable International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the adopted accounting policies;
comply in terms of form and content with the laws applicable to the Company and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.
What we have audited
We have audited the annual separate financial statements of Huuuge, Inc. which comprise:
the Company’s separate statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022;
and the following prepared for the financial year from 1 January to 31 December 2022:
the Company’s separate statement of comprehensive income;
the Company’s separate statement of changes in equity;
the Company’s separate statement of cash flows, and
the notes to the separate financial statements comprising a description of significant adopted accounting policies and other explanations.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the National Standards on Auditing in the wording of the International Standards on Auditing as adopted by the resolution of the National Council of Statutory Auditors (“NSA”) and pursuant to the Law of 11 May 2017 on Registered Auditors, Registered Audit Companies and Public Oversight (the “Law on Registered Auditors”). Our responsibilities under NSA are further described in the Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the separate financial statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) as adopted by resolution of the National Council of Statutory Auditors and other ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the separate

financial statements in Poland. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code. During the audit, the key registered auditor and the registered audit firm remained independent of the Company in accordance with the independence requirements set out in the Law on Registered Auditors.

As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the separate financial statements. In particular, we considered where the President of the Company made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance whether the separate financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the separate financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for the separate financial statements as a whole, as set out in the table below. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, if any, both individually and in aggregate on the separate financial statements as a whole.
Overall materiality
USD 1,168 thousand
How we determined it
1% of the total assets
Rationale for the materiality benchmark applied
We chose total assets as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the
benchmark against which the performance of the Company i s most commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted benchmark for entities being a holding company with no operations other than these related to holding activities. The Company is a parent entity for the Huuuge, Inc. Group (the “Group”) holding the shares in subsidiaries and has no other material operations. We chose 1% as, based on our professional judgment, it is within the acceptable quantitative materiality thresholds.
We agreed with the Audit Committee of the Company that we would report to them misstatements of the separate financial statements identified during our audit above USD 58 thousand, as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted reporting for qualitative reasons.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the separate financial statements of the current period. They include the most significant identified risks of material misstatements, including the identified risks of material misstatement resulting from fraud.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the separate financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter
How our audit addressed the key audit matter
Investments in subsidiaries determination whether impairment indicators exist
As at the balance sheet date 31 December 2022, the Company held investment in subsidiaries in the total amount of USD 29.1 million. During the year ended 31 December 2022 the value of investments in the Company’s subsidiaries increased by USD 2,306 thousand, primarily as the result of capitalization of the stock option plan expense attributable to the employees of subsidiaries.
Disclosures in respect of the investments in subsidiaries are described in the Note 1 and 11 to the separate financial statements. The accounting policy for measurement of investments in subsidiaries and related impairment assessment is described in Note 4 (d) and 4(g) (ii) to the separate financial statements.
According to IAS 36 "Impairment of assets", as of the balance sheet date, the Company conducts an analysis of impairment indicators in relation to the investment in subsidiaries, and if such indicators are identified the impairment tests are performed.
Determination whether there are indicators that the value of investments in subsidiaries is impaired requires a critical judgement of the management. As of 31 December 2022 the management concluded that no impairment indicators were identified.
Given the inherent risk of uncertainties over the significant judgement made by the management, we have concluded that this is a key matter for our
audit .
Our audit procedures included, in particular:
Understanding and evaluation of accounting policies for measurement of investments in subsidiaries and related impairment assessment for compliance with the requirements of IAS 27 and IAS 36;
Understanding and assessment of the process of identification by the management of the indicators for impairment of investments in subsidiaries;
Making a critical assessment of the existence of indicators for impairment for these investments, considering both: internal sources of information and those external to the Company;
Determination on adequacy of the disclosures in respect of assessment of impairment indicators of investments in
subsidiaries .
Responsibility of the President and Board of Directors of the Company for the separate financial statements
The President of the Company is responsible for the preparation, based on the properly maintained books of account of the annual separate financial statements that give a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union, the adopted accounting policies, the applicable
5
Image should be here
laws and the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, and for such internal control as he determines is necessary to enable the preparation of separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the separate financial statements, the President of the Company is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the President of the Company either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
The Board of Directors together with the President of the Company are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company. The Audit Committee is responsible for the supervision over the adequacy of the internal control system and over monitoring its effectiveness in the preparation of the separate financial statements.
Auditor’s responsibility for the audit of the separate financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the NSA will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these separate financial statements.
The scope of the audit does not include an assurance on the Company’s future profitability nor the efficiency and effectiveness of the President of the Company conducting its affairs, now or in future.
As part of an audit in accordance with NSA, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the separate 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 internal control.
evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the President of the Company.
conclude on the appropriateness of the President of the Company’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 ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Audit Committee 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 the Audit Committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated to the Audit Committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
