Directors’ report
Year ended 31 December 2025
The directors present their report and the audited financial statements of the Group and the Company for
the year ended 31 December 2025.
Principal activities
The Group is engaged in the investment, development and operation of sea terminals, namely in Riga,
Latvia as well as property investment.
p p p y y g g p y
Furthermore, the Company also rents and operates owned real estate in Latvia, namely the Merkela
property.
Performance review
The Group and Company have registered a profit before tax of 6,065,643 (2024 6,024,457) and a
profit before tax of 8,625,826 (2024 9,754,168) respectively.
The net assets of the Group at the end of the year amounted to 67,436,155 (2024 65,808,828), and
that of the Company 63,621,878 (2024 60,603,959).
The Group consolidated profit before tax was marginally higher than that recorded in the preceding year.
The Group's annual turnover, generated from its operations at Baltic Container Terminal (BCT), increased
by 1.2 million compared to the prior year. During the reporting year, the Group handled volumes that
wer e 3% higher than those recorded in the previous year. Cost of sales increased, in line with the growth
in revenue, resulting in an improved gross profit to sales ratio when compared to 2024. Investment income
amounted to 284,591 (2024: 1,261,926). In the previous year, the Group recognised a revaluation
gain of 626,000 on its investment property in Latvia. No changes to the fair value of this investment
property were recognised during the reporting year. Furthermore, in 2024, the Group received interest
income from its parent company amounting to 355,056. No similar interest income was received during
the current year. Total comprehensive income of the Group amounted to 7,227,327 (2024:
9,305,274). This amount includes a revaluation gain of land and buildings at Baltic Container Terminal
(BCT) amounting to 1,666,087 (2024: 3,703,120). The land plot at BCT has been enhanced through
the reconstruction of the KS-34 pier, whic h quay was extended by 57 meters, resulting in a total length of
507 meters. This development is expected to strengthen BCT's capacity to generate increased revenue.
Moreover, further revenue is expected to be generated from an additional 29,284 square meters of
container storage.
The Company's profit before tax was marginally lower than that recorded in the prior year. In 2024, the
Company recognised a revaluation gain on its investment property in Latvia amounting to 626,000. No
changes to the fair value of this investment property were recognised during the reporting year.
Furthermore, a lower dividend of 8,394,269 (2024: 8,987,301) was received from the Company's
subsidiary. On a positive note, the Company's rental and related income increased by 13% during the
year, while the occupancy rate at Merkela improved from 75% to 84%.
The increase in the Group's net assets is primarily attributable to the profit for the year, and the
revaluation gain recognised on land and buildings at BCT. The increase in the Company's net assets
reflects the profit for the year, mainly arising from the dividend received from the Group's subsidiary.
In year 2026, the Group is budgeting a further 3% increase in throughput on year 2025 levels. The Group
has a strong financial position and significant resources at its disposal. The Group’s container terminal as
well as the property in Latvia, are both well-positioned to continue to be a long-term sustainable
businesses. Moreover, in the reporting year, BCT completed the construction of the quay extension. The
total reconstruction costs amounted to 4,747,920.
The Group measures the achievement of its objectives through the use of the following other key
performance indicators:

Mariner Finance p.l.c
Director’s Report
Year ended 31 December 2025
Financial
The Group calculates the level of its free cash flow by reference to the cash generated from continuing
operations less capital expenditure, interest and tax. The Group’s free cash flow at year end amounted to
a surplus of 3,882,122 (2024: 2,554,662). The increase in free cash flows was mainly attributable to
higher cashflows from operations, whic h increased from 6,956,376 to 7,278,679, together with lower
capital expenditure during the reporting year, amounting to 3,396,557 (2024 - 4,401,714).
The Group measures its performance based on EBITDA, which is defined as the Group profit before
depreciation, amortisation, investment income, finance costs and taxation. During the year under review,
EBITDA increased by 7% from 10,190,092 to 10,944,498, mainly due to an increase in the Group's
operating profit during the reporting year.
The Group aims to deliver a return on average capital employed above the level of its cost of funding. The
return on average capital employed represents the operating profit on ordinary activities divided by the
average of capital employed. The Group ensures that this capital is used as effectively as possible. The return
on average capital employed as at year end stood at 7% (2024: 7%).
Non-financial
Customer
satisfaction is monitored by regular meetings with clients and other forms of informal feedback. The
level of customer satisfaction remains at very good levels.
Overall terminal efficiency is calculated at the average number of container moves per hour. This increased to
21 moves per hour in 2025 as compared to 20 moves per hour in 2024.
Property rental is measured in accordance with the level of occupancy whic h improved by 9% when
compared to the prior year.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The successful management of risk is essential to enable the Group to achieve its objectives. The ultimate
responsibility for risk management rests with the Group’s directors, who evaluate the Group’s risk appetite and
formulate policies for identifying and managing such risks. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the
Group are included below:
(a) Market and competition
The Group operates in a highly competitive environment and faces competition from various other entities. An
effective, coherent and consistent strategy to respond to market dynamics, customer demands and
competitors enables the Group to sustain its market share and its profitability. The Group continues to focus
on servic e quality and performance in managing this risk. The Group is dependent on certain customers as
disclosed in note 5 to the financial statements.
(b) Legislative risks
The Group is subject to numerous laws and regulations covering a wide range of matters. Failure to comply
could have financial or reputational implications and could materially affect the Group’s ability to operate. The
Group has embedded operating policies and procedures to ensure compliance with existing legislation.

Mariner Finance p.l.c
Directors’ Report
Year ended 31 December 2025
(c) Economic and market environment
Economic conditions have been challenging in recent years across the market in whic h the Group operates.
A significant economic decline in any of these markets could impact the Group’s ability to continue to
maintain and grow throughput. Demand for the Group’s services can be adversely affected by weakness in
the wider economy whic h are beyond the Group’s control. This risk is evaluated as part of the Group’s annual
strategy process covering the key areas of investment and development and updated regularly throughout the
year. The Group continues to make significant investment in innovation. The Group regularly reviews its
pricing structures to ensure that its services are appropriately placed within the markets in which it operates.
(d) Customer service
The group’s revenues are at risk if it does not continue to provide the level of ser vic e expected by its
customers. The group’s commitment to customers is embedded in its values. The group continually seeks to
make improvements to the services provided by investing in technology, equipment and infrastructure, through
the ongoing training of employees and enhancements in operational practices.
(e) Political risk
Despite
the current geographical unrest in neighbouring countries, the Group operates in a country with
stable social and political conditions. Adverse changes in these conditions, for example, political unrest,
strikes, war and other forms of instability including natural disasters, epidemics, widespread transmission of
diseases and terrorist attacks may negatively affect the Group’s business, results of operations, financial
conditions or prospects. The Group adapts to such risks by incorporating this risk into its business strategy.
(f) Financial risk management
Note 33 to the financial statements provides details in connection with the Group’s use of financial
instruments, its financial risk management objectives and policies and the financial risks to which it is
exposed.
Results and dividends
The result for
the year
ended 31 December 2025 is presented in the statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income on page 11. The Group registered a profit for the year after tax of 5,561,240
compared to 5,602,154 in 2024, in line with the prior year. Total comprehensive income of the Group
amounted to 7,227,327, which includes a revaluation gain of land and buildings at BCT. The Company
registered a profit for the year of 8,617,919 compared to 9,745,949 in 2024. In the previous year, the
Company recognised a revaluation gain on its investment property in Latvia. No changes to the fair value of
this investment property were recognised during the reporting year. Furthermore, a lower dividend amounting
to 8,394,269 (2024: 8,987,301) was received from its subsidiary. Rental income from Merkela increased
by 11% during the year. During the reporting year, the Company declared and distributed a dividend
amounting to 5,600,000 (2024: 5,600,000).
Post balance sheet events
Since 28 February 2026, the
geopolitical situation in the Middle East has escalated with various ramifications.
Further details have been described in note 1. There is currently no indication that there will be a significant
impact on the Group’s financial performance, financial position and cash flows. The situation continues to be
closely monitored by management to ensure that the interests of all its stakeholders are safeguarded.
Likely future business developments
The directors consider that the year end financial position was satisfactory and that the Company and the
Group are well placed to sustain the present level of activity in the foreseeable future.

determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The directors are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of

and other irregularities.

the preparation and publication of the Annual Financial Report, including the consolidated financial
statements and the relevant tagging requirements therein, as required by Capital Markets Rule 5.56A, in

b) the Directors’ Report includes a fair review of the performance of the business and the financial position

Internal Control
While the Board is ultimately responsible for the Group's internal controls as well as their effectiveness,
authority to operate the Group is delegated to the Chief Executive Officer.
The Group's system of internal controls is designed to manage all the risks in the most appropriate manner.
However, such controls cannot provide an absolute elimination of all business risks or losses. Therefore, the
Board, inter alia, reviews the effectiveness of the Group's system of internal controls in the following manner:
- Reviewing the Group's strategy on an on-going basis as well as setting the appropriate business objectives
in order to enhance value for all stakeholders;
- Implementing an appropriate organisational structure for planning, executing, controlling and monitoring
business operations in order to achieve Group objectives;
- Appointing and monitoring the Chief Executive Officer whose function is to manage the operations of the
Group;
- Identifying and ensuring that significant risks are managed satisfactorily; and
- Company policies are being observed.
Relations with the market
The market
is kept up to date with all relevant information, and the Company regularly publishes such
information on its website to ensure consistent relations with the market.
Non-compliance with the code
Principle 4: Organisation Structure
The
Company is mainly an investment company which does not require an elaborate management structure.
Its CEO is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Group, assisted, when necessary from time to
time, by members of the senior management teams of the Group companies. The Directors believe the
current organisational structures are adequate for current activities of the Company. The Directors will
maintain these structures under continuous review to ensure that they meet the changing demands of the
business and to strengthen the checks and balances necessary for better corporate governance.
Principle 6: Information and professional judgement
Under the present circumstances, full adherence by the Issuer with the provisions of Principle 6 of the Code
is not deemed necessary taking into account the size, nature and operations of the Issuer. The Issuer does
not feel the need to establish and/or implement a succession plan for senior management in light of its existing
organisational structure. The Directors will maintain the existing arrangement under continuous review to
ensure that it meets the changing demands of the business and to strengthen the checks and balances
necessary for better corporate governance.
Principle 8: Committees
Under the present circumstances, the Board does not consider it necessary to appoint a remuneration
committee and nomination committee as decisions on these matters are taken at shareholder level. The Issuer
considers that the members of the Board provide the level of skill, knowledge and experience expected in
terms of the Code. Furthermore, the Company does not have any employees other than directors and
Company secretary.

Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
1. Company information and basis of preparation
Mariner Finance p.l.c is a public limited company incorporated in Malta with registration number C31514 and has its
registered address at 37, Censu Tabone Street, St. Julians, Malta.
The Company acts as an investment and holding company and also holds an investment property in Riga, Latvia,
from which it earns rental income. The Group is engaged in the investment, development and operation of sea
terminals, namely in Riga, Latvia as well as property development. As disclosed in note 27, the Company has issued
bonds which are listed on the Malta Stock Exchange.
During the reporting year, the global economy continued to experience the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Despite this, management still expects volumes and exports from Latvia to continue to increase, as long as there are
sufficient empty containers available. Furthermore, the Group’s senior management team continues to constantly
monitor the situation and the potential impact that this conflict is having on the level of operations in comparison with
both the reporting year and also the historic level of operations. Moreover, the conflict in the Middle East did impact
slightly the Group’s terminal operations. In fact, BCT experienced few cancellations in the loading of export containers
to Gulf countries directly impacted by the conflict. The Group continues to monitor broader economic factors,
particularly fluctuation in oil prices, arising from the current situation in the region, as these developments may
influence shipping freight rates and, consequently, have a direct impact on shipping volumes. Nonetheless, this
negative impact is only expected to be of a temporary nature. Projections for the year ending 31 December 2026
incorporate the ongoing impact of such conflicts. Under these projections, the Group is expected to continue
operating at a satisfactory profitable level and also continues to have sufficient liquidity and financial resources
available to meet all its obligations. Moreover, in 2025, the Group completed the extension of the yard area by 29,200
square meters. Total reconstructions costs amounted to 4,747,920.
The Group has a strong financial position and significant resources at its disposal. Furthermore, the Group’s container
terminal as well as the property in Latvia, are both well-positioned to continue to be long-term sustainable businesses.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis, except for investment property which
are stated at their fair value, and land and buildings which are stated at their revalued amounts, and in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. The material accounting policy information
is set out below.
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.
For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree
to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity
can access at the measurement date;
- Level 2 inputs are inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the
Company determines that transfers are deemed to have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy at the end of each
reporting period.

2. Material accounting policies
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of Mariner Finance p.l.c. (or the
Company”) and subsidiary entities controlled by the Company. Control exists when the Company has power over
the investee, is exposed or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to
use its power over the investee to affect the amount of its returns. In assessing control, potential voting rights that
give the Company the current ability to direct the investee’s relevant activities are taken into account.
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that
control commences until the date control ceases. Intra-Group balances, transactions, income and expenses are
eliminated on consolidation.
Business combination and goodwill
During the financial year ended 31 December 2013, Mariner Capital Limited became the direct parent entity of
Mariner Finance p.l.c., and acquired and became the ultimate parent of Baltic Container Terminal SIA and Equinor
Riga SIA through its direct subsidiary, Mariner Finance Baltic SIA. Mariner Finance p.l.c. was not the parent of any
entity of the Mariner Capital Limited Group as at 31 December 2013.
During the first two quarters of 2014 the Mariner Capital Limited Group entered into various linked transactions (“the
restructuring transactions”). As a result of the restructuring transactions, Mariner Finance p.l.c. became the direct
parent of Mariner Baltic Holdings SIA. As part of the restructuring transactions Mariner Baltic Holdings SIA became
the direct parent of Mariner Finance Baltic SIA (and the indirect parent of Baltic Container Terminal SIA) and Equinor
Riga SIA.
The restructuring transactions resulted in Mariner Finance p.l.c. gaining control during 2014 of its direct subsidiary
entity Mariner Baltic Holdings SIA and its indirect subsidiary entities Mariner Finance Baltic SIA, Baltic Container
Terminal SIA and Equinor Riga SIA (“the subsidiaries”). In 2019, Mariner Finance p.l.c merged with its wholly owned
subsidiary Mariner Baltic Holdings SIA.
The acquisition of these subsidiaries by Mariner Finance p.l.c. fell outside the scope of International Financial
Reporting Standard 3 Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”) because the transaction merely represented a Group
reorganisation and because in terms of paragraph 2(c) of IFRS 3, the acquisition of these entities by Mariner Finance
p.l.c. was treated as a combination of businesses under common control in which all the combining entities are
ultimately controlled by the same party, Mariner Capital Limited, both before and after the business combination and
that control was not transitory.
In accordance with ‘International Accounting Standard 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates
and Errors’ (“IAS 8”), in the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition,
management should use its judgment in developing and applying an accounting policy that is relevant to the decision -
making needs of the users and is reliable. In relation to this specific transaction, the use of predecessor accounting
by Mariner Finance p.l.c. was considered to be a generally accepted accounting approach to account for the
acquisition of the entities under common control.

Mariner Finance p.l.c
Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Business combination and goodwill (continued)
The acquisition of the subsidiaries acquired from the direct parent by Mariner Finance p.l.c. has been accounted for
under the principles of predecessor accounting as from the date these subsidiaries were acquired by its parent,
Mariner Capital Limited on 1 January 2013. In terms of predecessor accounting, an acquirer is not required to be
identified. The Company has incorporated the acquired entities at their previous carrying amounts of assets (including
goodwill) and liabilities included in the consolidated financial statements of its parent, Mariner Capital Limited.
This accounting treatment gave rise to differences on acquisition between the consideration given in exchange for
the acquired entities and the amounts at which the assets and liabilities of the acquired entities are initially recognised;
€43,940,924 were included within equity.
Goodwill is measured as the excess of the consideration transferred and the net of the acquisition-date amounts of
the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
The goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated
impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are classified into the following classes land and buildings, plant and equipment,
furniture, fittings and equipment, and fixed assets under construction.
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying
amount when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost
of the item can be measured reliably. Expenditure on repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment is
recognised as an expense when incurred.
Land and buildings held for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes are
stated in the statement of financial position at their revalued amounts, being the fair value at the date of the
revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Revaluations are made for the entire class of land and buildings and with sufficient regularity such that the carrying
amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair values at the end of the reporting
period. The Group has chosen to restate the gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of the asset
proportionally to the change in the carrying amount. The accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is
adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset after taking
into account accumulated impairment losses.
Other tangible assets are stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses.
Properties in the course of construction
Properties in the course of construction for production, supply or administrative purposes, are carried at cost, less
any identified impairment loss. Cost includes, for qualifying assets, borrowing costs capitalised in accordance with
the Group's accounting policy on borrowing costs. Depreciation of these assets, on the same basis as other property
assets, commences when the assets are available for use.
21
Mariner Finance p.l.c
Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation
Depreciation commences when the depreciable assets are available for use and is charged to profit or loss so as to
write off the cost/revalued amount, less any estimated residual value, over their estimated useful lives, using the
straight-line method, on the following bases:
- Buildings 0.8% - 5% per annum
- Plant and equipment - 4% - 33.33% per annum
- Furniture, fittings and equipment - 10% - 33.33% per annum
- Fixed assets under construction - 0% per annum
The depreciation method applied, the residual value and the useful life are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at
the end of each reporting period.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and the useful life of the underlying
asset.
Investment property
The Group's investment property consists of a building in Riga, Latvia, which is held to earn rentals, and a piece of
land in the territory of Latvia, which is held for capital appreciation. Investment property is initially measured at cost,
including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition investment property is stated at fair value at the end of
the reporting period. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of investment property are recognised in
profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Investments in subsidiaries
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for on the basis
of the direct equity interest and are stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Dividends from the
investment are recognised in profit or loss.
Other financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognised at their fair value plus
directly attributable transaction costs for all financial assets or financial liabilities not classified at fair value through
profit or loss.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting
all of its liabilities. Equity instruments are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
Financial assets
Classification and measurement
Financial assets are classified as measured at either amortised cost or fair value based on the business model for
managing the assets and the asset’s contractual terms. The Group and the Company do not have any financial
assets classified as fair value through other comprehensive income (managed under a hold to collect and sell
business model).
22
Mariner Finance p.l.c
Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets at amortised cost
The following financial assets are classified in this category - loans receivable, trade receivables and cash at bank.
Financial assets are classified as measured at amortised cost if they are held within a business model with the
objective to hold the financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and if the contractual terms of the
financial asset give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding.
Financial assets at amortised cost are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly
attributable to the issue or acquisition of financial assets and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and of allocating
interest income over the relevant period.
The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts/payments excluding ECLs
through the expected life of the financial asset/financial liability, or, where appropriate, a shorter period to the gross
carrying amount on initial recognition.
Appropriate allowances for expected credit losses (ECLs) are recognised in profit or loss in accordance with the
accounting policy on ECLs.
Trade receivables which do not have a significant financing component are initially measured at their transaction
price and are subsequently stated at their nominal value less any loss allowance for ECLs.
Financial liabilities and equity
Bank borrowings
Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing bank loans are measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing bank overdrafts are carried at face value in view of their short-term
maturities.
Trade and other payables
Trade and other payables are classified with current liabilities and are stated at their nominal value unless the effect
of discounting is material, in which case trade payables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest
method.
Other borrowings
Subsequent to initial recognition, other borrowings are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method
unless the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Shares issued by the Company

Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is calculated using the weighted average
method and comprises expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and other costs incurred in bringing the
inventories to their present location and condition
Impairment of non-financial assets and investments in subsidiaries
All assets are tested for impairment to the extent applicable. At the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount
of assets is reviewed to determine whether there is any indication or objective evidence of impairment, as appropriate,
and if any such indication or objective evidence exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an
indication of impairment
Impairment of financial assets other than investments in subsidiaries
ECLs
The Group and the Company recognise a loss allowance for ECLs.
The amount of ECLs is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in credit risk since the initial recognition.
For trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component (or for which the IFRS 15 practical
expedient for contracts that are one year or less is applied), the Group and the Company apply the simplified
approach and recognises lifetime ECL.
Where a collective basis is applied, the ECLs on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix based
on historical credit loss experience based on the past due status of the debtors, adjusted for factors that are specific
to the debtors, general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both
the current as well as the forecast direction of conditions at the reporting date.
For all other financial instruments, the Group and the Company use the general approach and recognises lifetime
ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit
risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group and the Company
measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL (‘12m ECL’).
The Group and the Company recognise an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial assets with a
corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount.
Significant increase in credit risk
In assessing whether the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the
Group and the Company compare the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the reporting date
with the risk of a default occurring on the financial instrument as at the date of initial recognition. In making this
assessment, the Group and the Company consider both quantitative and qualitative information that is reasonable
and supportable, including historical experience and forward-looking information that is available without undue cost
or effort and, where applicable, the financial position of the counterparties
.
Irrespective of the outcome of the above assessment, the Group and the Company presume that the credit risk on a
financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition when contractual payments are more than 30 days

2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Significant increase in credit risk (continued)
past due, unless the Company has reasonable and supportable information, that is available without undue cost or
effort, that demonstrates otherwise.
Despite the above assessment, the Group and the Company assume that the credit risk on a financial instrument
has not increased significantly since initial recognition if the financial instrument is determined to have low credit risk
at the reporting date. Accordingly, for these financial assets, the loss allowance is measured at an amount equal to
12m ECL. The low credit risk assumption has been applied for the majority of the bank balances.
Definition of default
The Group and the Company consider the following as constituting an event of default for internal credit risk
management purposes as historical experience indicates that receivables that meet either of the following criteria
are generally not recoverable:
- when there is a breach of financial covenants by the counterparty; or
- information developed internally or obtained from external sources indicates that the debtor is unlikely to pay
its creditors, including the company, in full (without taking into account any collateral held by the company).
Irrespective of the above analysis, the Group and the Company consider that default has occurred when a financial
asset is more than 90 days past due unless there is reasonable and supportable information to demonstrate that a
more lagging default criterion is more appropriate.
Credit-impaired financial assets
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future
cash flows of that financial asset have occurred.
Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:
- significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
- a breach of contract, such as a default or past due event;
- the lender(s) of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial
difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession(s) that the lender(s) would not otherwise consider;
- it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or another financial reorganisation; or
- the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Write-off policy
The Group and Company writes off a financial asset when there is information indicating that the counterparty is in
severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, for example when the counterparty has been
placed under liquidation or has entered into bankruptcy proceedings.
Revenue recognition
The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:
- cargo handling
- storage of containers
25
Mariner Finance p.l.c
Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Revenue Recognition (continued)
Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and excludes amounts
collected on behalf of third parties. The Group recognises revenue when (or as) it satisfies a performance obligation
by transferring control of a promised good or service to the customer.
Cargo handling
This constitutes income from cargo handling, including loading, unloading and transportation of cargo and similar
services, such as mooring, provided at the terminal to the Group’s customers, being mainly ship liners. The fees
which are charged to customers for the services provided by the Group are based on a number of underlying metrics,
such as the weight of containers, which are monitored by the Group through a detailed coding system and which
become known by the time the services are provided. The customers are generally billed after the provision of such
services and thus no contract liabilities are recognised by the Group in this respect. Such services are recognised
over time as the services are provided and given the short duration of such services, no significant contract assets
are recognised by the Group at the reporting date. A receivable is recognised by the Group until the actual payment
is made by the respective customers. There is not considered to be a significant financing component in such
arrangements with customers as the period between the recognition of revenue and the payment by the customer is
less than one year.
Storage of containers
This constitutes revenue generated through the provision of container storage facilities at the terminal, which revenue
falls within the scope of IFRS 15 as opposed to IFRS 16. The performance obligation is to provide storage facilities
to the respective customers, including ship liners, over the required duration. The transaction price is based on a fee
structure which is based on a fixed fee per day subject to certain free days which are generally not considered to
have a material effect on the allocation of the transaction price over the duration of the contract. The customers are
billed monthly in arrears and thus no contract liabilities or contract assets are recognised by the Group in this respect.
Such services are recognised over time. A receivable is recognised until the actual payment is made by the respective
customers. There is not considered to be a significant financing component in such arrangements with customers as
the period between the recognition of revenue and the payment by the customer is less than one year
Interest income
Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate
applicable, which is the rate that exactly discounts the estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the
financial asset. Interest income is recognised to the extent that is probable that future economic benefits will flow to
the Group and these can be measured reliably
Rent receivable
Rent is recognised as disclosed in the accounting policy on leases.
Dividend income
Dividend revenue is presented gross of any non-recoverable withholding taxes, which are disclosed separately in the
statement of comprehensive income.

Borrowings costs
Borrowing costs include the costs incurred in obtaining external financing.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are
assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalised
from the time that expenditure for these assets and borrowing costs are being incurred and activities that are
necessary to prepare these assets for their intended use or sale are in progress. Borrowing costs are capitalised until
such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Borrowing costs are suspended during
extended period in which active development is interrupted. All other borrowing costs are recognised as an expense
in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
Government grants
Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the
conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received. Grants are recognised as revenue over the periods
necessary to match them with the costs for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis.
Accordingly, grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase or construct non-current assets are
recognised as deferred revenue in the statement of financial position and transferred to the statement of
comprehensive income on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related asset
Leases
The Group as a lessee:
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements
in which it is the lessee, unless otherwise stated below.
The lease liability is subsequently measured by increasing the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability
(using the effective interest method) and by reducing the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.
The right-of-use assets are initially measured at the commencement date at cost, being the amount of the initial
measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made (adding initial direct costs and subtracting
lease incentives) at or before the commencement day.
The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the lease term of the underlying assets. The average lease term is 28 years.
The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease. The Group applies the accounting policy entitled
‘Impairment of other assets and investments in subsidiaries to determine and to measure the extent of any
impairment losses on the right-of-use assets.
In the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, interest expense on the lease liability is presented
separately from the depreciation charge for the right-of-use asset. In the statement of cash flows, cash payments for
the principal portion of the lease liability are presented within financing activities and cash payments for the interest
portion of the lease liability are presented within operating activities.
The Group remeasures the lease liability (and makes a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset)
whenever:

Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
2. Material accounting policies (continued)
Leases (continued)
The lease term has changed or there is a significant event or change in circumstances resulting in a change
in the assessment of exercise of a purchase option, in which case the lease liability is remeasured by
discounting the revised lease payments using a revised discount rate.
The lease payments change due to changes in an index or rate or a change in expected payment under a
guaranteed residual value, in which cases the lease liability is remeasured by discounting the revised lease
payments using an unchanged discount rate (unless the lease payments change is due to a change in a
floating interest rate, in which case a revised discount rate is used).
A lease contract is modified and the lease modification is not accounted for as a separate lease, in which
case the lease liability is remeasured based on the lease term of the modified lease by discounting the
revised lease payments using a revised discount rate at the effective date of the modification.
The Group as a lessor:
Leases for which the Group is a lessor are classified as operating leases. Leased assets are presented in the
statement of financial position according to their nature and are tested for impairment in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policy on impairment. Depreciable leased assets are depreciated in accordance with the Group’s
accounting policy on depreciation. Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight-line basis over
the term of the relevant lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the pattern in which benefit
from the use of the underlying asset is diminished. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are
added to the carrying amount of the leased asset.
Taxation
Corporate income tax expenses in relation to the subsidiaries incorporated in Latvia are included in financial
statement based on management calculations according to laws of Republic of Latvia.
Corporate income tax is applicable to distributed profits and several expenses that would be treated as profit
distribution. In case of reinvestment of profit, corporate income tax shall not be applied. The applicable corporate
income tax rate is 20%.
In accordance with International Accounting Standard No 12 Income Taxes requirements, in cases where income
tax is payable at a higher or lower rate, depending on whether the profit is distributed, the current and deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate applicable to undistributed profits. In Latvia the applicable rate for
undistributed profits is 0%.
Corporate income tax is calculated at the profit distribution (net amount to be paid to shareholders). Corporate income
tax will be recognised as tax payable at the period when shareholders decide to distribute profit.
Deferred tax liability arises on the projected profit distribution in the following year. The applicable corporate income
tax rate is 5%, applying a discount in accordance with the provisions of the law on the application of taxes in free
ports and special economic zones.
Employee benefits
The Company contributes towards the state pension in accordance with local legislation. The only obligation of the
Company is to make the required contributions. Costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.

Currency translation
The individual financial statements of each Group entity are presented in their functional currency, being the currency
of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (its functional currency). For the purposes of the
Group financial statements, the results and financial position of each entity are expressed in Euro, which is the
functional currency of the Company.
In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recorded at rates of exchange prevailing on the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates
prevailing on the end of the reporting period.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items and on the retranslation of monetary items are
included in profit or loss.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on
demand and form an integral part of both the Company and Group’s cash management are included as a component
of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the statement of cash flows and are presented in current liabilities
on the statement of financial position.
Dividends
Dividends to holders of equity instruments are recognised as liabilities in the period in which they are declared.
Dividends to holders of equity instruments are recognised directly to equity.
3. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation
In the process of applying the Group’s and Company’s accounting policies, management has made no judgements
which can significantly affect the amounts recognised in the financial statements and, at the end of the reporting
period, there were no key assumptions concerning the future, or any other key sources of estimation uncertainty, that
have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the
next financial year other than as disclosed in notes 15, 17 and also as disclosed below:
Assessment for impairment of assets
The Group reviews property, plant and equipment, investment property, intangible assets, investment in subsidiaries,
loans receivable and trade receivables, to evaluate whether events or changes in circumstances indicate that the
carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The Company reviews investment in subsidiaries, loans receivable, trade
receivables and investment property for impairment. At the period-end there was no objective evidence of impairment
in this respect. Furthermore, an allowance for expected credit losses has been recognised for financial assets
measured at amortised cost. In addition, the Group tests goodwill annually for impairment or more frequently if there
are indications that goodwill might be impaired. Determining whether the carrying amount of goodwill can be realised
requires an estimation of the recoverable amount of the cash generating units.

Notes to the financial statements

3. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation (continued)
Assessment for impairment of assets (continued)
Goodwill arising on a business combination is allocated, to the cash-generating units (“CGUs”) that are expected to
benefit from that business combination.
The carrying amount of goodwill amounting to 13,184,904 arises on a business combination made in 2014 and has
been allocated to the business of SIA Baltic Container Terminals.
The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value in use calculations.
The key assumptions for value in use calculations are those regarding the discount rates, growth rates and expected
changes to selling prices and direct costs during the period. The directors estimate discount rates using pre-tax rates
that reflect current market assessment of the time value of money and specific risks. The growth rates are based on
forecasts which are based on past experience and estimates which the directors consider to be appropriate in the
circumstances. Changes in selling price and direct costs are based on best practices and expectations of future
changes in the market. The Group prepares cash flow forecasts derived from the most recent financial budgets
approved by directors.
The assessment of recoverability of the carrying amount of goodwill includes:
- forecasted projected cash flows for the next 5 years and projection of terminal value using the perpetuity
method;
- growth rate of 2% for next five years and 2% till perpetuity, in line with the prior year assessment; and
- use of 6.82% (pre-tax) (2024: 8.81%) to discount the projected cash flows to net present values.
Based on the above assessment, the directors expect the carrying amount of goodwill to be recoverable and there
is no impairment in value of the goodwill.
Useful life and revaluation of property, plant and equipment
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment are assessed at each balance sheet date and changed, if necessary,
to reflect the directors' current view on their remaining useful lives in the light of changes in technology, the remaining
prospective economic utilisation of the assets and their physical condition.
As at 31 December 2025, the fair value of the buildings at BCT amounted to 51,084,000, which exceeded the net
carrying value of the property of 49,417,913. As a result of this revaluation, the fair value of the revalued property
was increased by 1,666,087. Further information on the revaluation is disclosed in note 15.
4. Initial application of International Financial Reporting Standard and International Financial Reporting
Standards in issue but not yet effective.
Amendments in IFRS Standards that are effective in current year
During the financial year ended 31 December 2025, the Group and the Company adopted new amendments to
existing standards that are mandatory for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2025. The adoption of these
amendments to the requirements of IFRSs as adopted by the EU did not have a material impact on the Group’s
financial position, performance, including disclosures.

Standards in issue but not yet effective (continued)
International Financial Reporting Standards in issue but not yet effective
Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published by the date of
authorisation for issue of these financial statements, that are mandatory for the Group's and Company's accounting
periods beginning after 1 January 2025. The Group and Company have not early adopted these standards and
amendments to the requirement of IFRSs as adopted by the EU and the Directors are in the process of assessing
the potential impact of the newly issued standards, amendments, and interpretations in the period of initial application.
Relevant new IFRS Accounting Standards, which are not yet effective as at 31 December 2025, and have not been
applied in preparing these financial statements, include IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
Statements, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027. This standard replaces IAS
1, Presentation of Financial Statements, and sets out requirements for the presentation and disclosure of information
in general purpose financial statements. The standard introduces new requirements for the presentation of the
statement of profit or loss, including specified subtotals and enhanced disclosure requirements for management-
defined performance measures. Earlier application is permitted.
The Directors are currently assessing the impact that application of IFRS 18 will have on the presentation and
disclosures with the Group’s and the Company’s financial statements in the period of initial application. Specifically,
all income and expenses must be classified into one of three categories: operating, investing and financing. The
Group is required to present new subtotals in the statement of profit or loss: 'operating profit', ‘profit before financing
and income tax’ and ‘profit before income tax’. Comparative information must be restated to reflect the new
presentation. If the Directors opt to disclose management-defined performance measures (MPMs), then these
measures must be reconciled to IFRS-defined subtotals. The adoption of IFRS 18 will not affect total profit or loss or
equity.
5. Segment information
The Group operates one main business activity which is the operation of a sea terminal in Riga, Latvia. Apart from
this the Group also owns an investment property in Riga which it rents to third parties. Each of these operating
segments is managed separately as each of these lines requires local resources.
The accounting policy for identifying segments is based on internal management reporting information that is
regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker. Revenue reported below represents revenue generated
from external customers. There were no intersegment sales in the year. The Group's reportable segments under
IFRS 8 are direct sales attributable to each business activity.
The Group operates solely in Latvia. The Group has in total two customers whose respective revenue generation
exceeds 10% of the Group's total revenue. These two customers represent 29% and 32% (2024- 21% and 35%) of
the cargo handling business.
Measurement of operating segment profit or loss, assets and liabilities
Segment profit represents the profit earned by each segment after allocation of central administration costs and
finance costs, other than that related to the bonds issued by the holding Company, based on services and finance
provided. This is the measure reported to the chief operating decision maker for the purposes of resource allocation
and assessment of segment performance. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the
Group's accounting policies described in note 2.

Based on the Corporate Income tax law of the Republic of Latvia, corporate income tax (“CIT”) is applicable to
distributed profits and several transactions that would be treated as profit distribution. In case of reinvestment of profit
CIT shall not be applied. In Latvia undistributed profits are not subject to CIT. The effective CIT rate in Latvia is 25%
on distributed profits. Nonetheless, BCT avails itself of a discounted rate equivalent to 5% in accordance with the
provisions of the Law 'On the Application of Taxes in Free Ports and Special Economic Zones.
The Company is being charged tax in Malta on its profit before tax at the applicable rate of 35%. This contributes to
an insignificant component of the total income tax expense of the Group at year-end.

Group (continued)
The Group applies the revaluation model for the real estate, which includes warehouse complex, administration
buildings, open areas for cargo storage, access roads to railway and warehouse building. The latest valuation report
was made by independent certified expert dated 30 January 2026. The valuation cash flows include revenue from
storage and related on-shore handling fees, taking into consideration the location of the property in the port area and
access to the other assets owned by the Group. According to the latest valuation report the fair value of the property
is 51,084,000 which exceeded the net carrying value of the real estate of 49,417,913. As a result of revaluation,
the fair value of the revalued property was increased by 1,666,087 as of 31 December 2025. The Company has
chosen to restate gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation of the asset proportionally to the change in
carrying amount.
The fair value was determined based on an income approach. The valuation corresponds to Level 3 of fair value
determination hierarchy as per IFRS 13. The main Level 3 inputs used by the Group are discount rates, capitalisation
rates, and expected utilisation rate estimated by an external certified valuator based on comparable transactions and
industry data.
The following table summarises the key quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in
recurring Level 3 fair value measurements as of 31 December 2025.
Unobservable inputs Amount Relationship of unobservable inputs to fair value
Discount rate 8.9% - 11.2% The higher the discount rate and
Capitalisation rate 6.97% - 8% capitalisation rate, the lower the fair value
Expected utilisation rate 69.5% - 85.74% The higher the utilisation rate, the higher the fair value
The carrying amount of land and buildings that would have been included in the financial statements had these assets
been carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses is 33,383,968 (2024:
29,069,116).
The historic cost of fully depreciated fixed assets as of 31 December 2025 are as follows:
- Equipment and machinery 9,704,799 (2024: €10,178,791)
- Other fixed assets 893,137 (2024: €888,574)
The depreciation charge is presented within cost of sales and administrative expenses in the statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income.
The total amount of interest which is capitalised by the Group in 2025 amounted to 111,840 (2024: 84,237).

The fair value of investment properties has been arrived at on the basis of recent valuations carried out by
independent professionally qualified valuators on the basis set out below. In estimating the fair values of properties,
the highest and best use of the properties was used. The fair value of the Group's investment property has been
arrived at using Level 3 (2024 - Level 3) inputs as defined in IFRS.
The expenses incurred in operating the investment property amounted to 138,722 (2024 - 151,519).
Investment property carried at 5,010,000
The investment property represents a building in Riga, Latvia. The fair value has been determined based on an
independent certified expert's valuation dated 4
th
April 2025. The valuer used the income approach whereby the
valuer adopted a discounted cash flow method to value the net expected cash inflows. The free cashflows over 5
years were estimated and the terminal free cash flow was based on the cash inflows of the year 5 cash flows. The
WACC has been estimated to be 9%, whereas the capitalisation rate has been estimated to be 7%. The WACC was
modelled based on similar experience for real estate valuation in Latvia. The exit capitalisation rate has been
estimated to be 7%. The Group’s management evaluated whether there have been significant changes in the fair
value of the investment property since April 2025 and concluded that the fair value approximates the carrying amount.
Investment property carried at 85,000
The investment property represents a land in the territory of Latvia. The fair value has been determined based on an
independent certified expert's valuation dated 23 February 2024. The fair value has been determined based on the
market approach, whereby the valuer compared recent transactions of undeveloped land plots in agricultural use
zone within close neighbourhoods. The Group's management evaluated whether there have been significant
changes in the fair value of investment property since February 2024 and concluded that the fair value approximates
the carrying amount.

Taxation in Latvia
Corporate income tax (CIT) is applicable to distributed profits and several expenses that would be treated as profit
distribution. In case of reinvestment of profit CIT shall not be applied. The applicable CIT rate is 20%. The Company
has rights to apply direct tax relief expiring on 31 December 2035 and reduce calculated tax amount by 80%.
Under International Accounting Standard 12, if Income taxes are payable at a higher or lower rate if part or all of the
net profit or retained earnings is paid out as a dividend to shareholders of the entity then current and deferred tax
assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate applicable to undistributed profits. In Latvia, the applicable rate for
undistributed profits is 0%. Therefore, in the consolidated financial statements the deferred tax assets and liabilities
are released to the income statement except for any deferred tax assets and liabilities related to the items accounted
directly to the equity which are reversed through equity.
At 31 December 2025, the Group had unused tax credits in Baltic Container Terminal SIA of 802,063 (2024
1,166,355). The expiry date of the unutilised tax credit is 2035 as per currently enacted Latvian law on corporate
income tax.
The aggregate amount of temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries for which no deferred
tax liabilities have been recognised amounts to 14,546,433 (2024 - 16,228,386).

32. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities
At 31 December 2025 and 31 December 2024 the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities
classified with current assets and current liabilities respectively approximated the fair values due to the short-
term maturities of these assets and liabilities. The fair values of non-current financial assets that are not
measured at fair value, other than investments in subsidiaries, and the fair values of non-current bank loans are
not materially different from their carrying amounts due to their current rates of interest. The fair values of
financial assets and financial liabilities included in level 2 and level 3 categories below, other than debt
securities, have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted
cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects a market interest rate
plus the credit risk of counter parties. The fair value of debt securities is disclosed in note 27.
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.

Notes to the financial statements
Year ended 31 December 2025
32. Fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities (continued)
For financial reporting purposes, fair value measurements are categorised into Level 1, 2 or 3 based on the degree
to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value
measurement in its entirety.
For assets and liabilities that are measured in the financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company
determines when transfers are deemed to have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy at the end of each reporting
period.
The following tables provide an analysis of financial instruments, other than investments in subsidiaries that are not
measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3, excluding those instruments
whose carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

33.Financial risk management
The Group's activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks including foreign currency, liquidity, interest rate risk
and credit risk. The Group's management seeks to minimize its potential adverse effects of financial risks on the
Group's financial performance.
The exposures to risk and the way risks arise, together with the Group's and the Company’s objectives, policies and
processes for managing and measuring these risks are disclosed in more detail below.
The objectives, policies and processes for managing financial risks and the methods used to measure such risks are
subject to continual improvement and development.
Where applicable, any significant changes in the Company’s exposure to financial risks or the manner in which the
Company manages and measures these risks are disclosed below.
Where possible, the Company and the Group aim to reduce and control risk concentrations. Concentrations of
financial risk arise when financial instruments with similar characteristics are influenced in the same way by changes
in economic or other factors. The amount of the risk exposure associated with financial instruments sharing similar
characteristics is disclosed in more detail in the notes to the financial statements.
Credit risk
Financial assets which potentially subject the Company and Group to concentrations of credit risk consist principally
of loans receivable, trade receivables, and cash at bank which are measured at amortised cost. Credit risk with
respect to trade receivables is limited due to credit control procedures. There is significant credit risk concentration
in respect of two customers, who comprise 61% (2024: 63%) of the Group's trade receivables as of end of 2025.

Credit risk (continued)
There is no significant going concern risk to any of the Group's largest customer that the Group is aware of. Credit
risk in relation to the loans and receivables due from related parties is also limited given the cash flows generated by
the underlying subsidiary.
The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, which is net of impairment losses,
represents the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk.
The tables below detail, by credit risk rating grades, the gross carrying amount of financial assets.

Currency risk
Foreign currency transactions arise when the Group buys or sells goods or services whose price is denominated in
a foreign currency, borrows or lends funds when the amount payable or receivable are denominated in a foreign
currency, acquires or disposes of assets or incurs or settles a liability denominated in a foreign currency. Foreign
currency transactions comprise mainly transactions in USD. The risk arising from foreign currency transactions is
managed by regular monitoring of the relevant exchange rates and directors’ reaction to material movements thereto.

Currency risk (continued)
The Group is exposed to foreign currency risk arising from the below financial assets:

Trade and other receivables 1,113,374 851,403
Balance sheet exposure 1,113,374 851,403
The EUR/USD spot-rate as at 31 December 2025 is 1.1750 (2024: 1.0389). A reasonably possible strengthening/
(weakening) of the Euro against the USD at 31 December would have affected the measurement of financial
instruments denominated in a foreign currency and affected equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below.
This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant.

Interest rate risk
The Company and Group have taken out bank and debt securities to finance its operations as disclosed in notes 23
and 27. The carrying amount of the debt securities amounts to 36,427,179 (2024: 36,368,518). The interest rates
thereon are at fixed rate. The loans receivable with interest bearing as disclosed in Note 19 are at a fixed rate. Cash
at bank earns interest at floating interest rates as disclosed in Note 30. Bank loans and overdraft with a carrying
amount of 19,909,526 (2024: 15,260,561) bear interest at a variable rate, as disclosed in note 23.
Management monitors the movement in interest rates and, where possible, reacts to material movements in such
rates by adjusting its selling prices or by restructuring its financing structure. The Group is exposed to fair value
interest rate risk on borrowings, debt instruments and loans receivable carrying a fixed interest rate to the extent that
they are measured at fair value, however since these are measured at amortised cost there is no impact in the
financial statements. Sensitivity analysis on cash with a floating interest rate is disclosed below.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity analysis in relation to cash flow interest rate risk to a reasonably
possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's and Company's profit before
tax. The Group and Company consider the reasonably possible changes in interest rates to be a change in 100 basis
points.

Liquidity risk
The Company monitors and manages its risk to a shortage of funds by maintaining sufficient cash, by matching the
maturity of both its financial assets and financial liabilities and by monitoring the availability of raising funds to meet
commitments associated with financial instruments.
The following maturity analysis for financial liabilities shows the remaining contractual maturities using the contractual
undiscounted cash flows on the basis of the earliest date on which the Group and Company can be required to pay.
The analysis includes both interest and principal cash flows. Fixed rate instruments pertain to bond securities in issue
and bank loans. Non-interest bearing are the trade and other payables, excluding accrued interest.

Capital risk management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard its ability to continue as a going concern and to
maximise the return to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of bank loans in the amount of 16,785,523 (2024: 4,315,255), other
liabilities amounting to 2,012,532 (2024: 1,078,618) and debt securities amounting to 36,427,179 (2024:
36,368,518) as included in notes 23, 24 and 27 respectively, and items presented within equity net of cash at bank
balances.
The Company’s directors manage the Company’s capital structure and make adjustments to it, in light of changes in
economic conditions. The capital structure is reviewed on an ongoing basis. Based on recommendations of the
directors, the Company balances its overall capital structure through the payment of dividends, the issue of new debt or
the redemption of existing debt.
The Company's overall strategy remains unchanged from the prior year.
34. Capital Commitments
As at 31 December 2025, the Group did not have any future payment commitments for capital expenditure contracted
for at the end of the reporting year, but not yet incurred (2024: 1,628,221).
35. Cash flow information
The Group and the Company had a material non-cash investing activity-related transaction for the years ended 31
December 2025 and 2024 for the dividend amounting to 5,600,000 (2024: 5,600,000) that was declared to parent
company and that was set-off against the Group and the Company's receivables balance due from parent company
as disclosed in Note 19.

Valuation of warehousing, storage and administration land & buildings with a carrying value of Eur51.08m in the
consolidated financial statements
The Group accounts for its land and buildings at their revalued amount, being the fair value as at the date of the
revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Included in the
Group’s land and buildings are warehousing, storage and administration land and buildings with a carrying value as at
31 December 2025 amounting to Eur51.08m. The establishment of the fair value of these land and buildings is significant
to our audit because the recognised revalued amount is material to the consolidated financial statements.
