These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted for application within the European Union with comparative figures for 2021.

The condensed statutory financial statements disclosed at the end of the consolidated financial report are extracted from the separate Belgian GAAP financial statements of the Company and are included as required by article 3:17 of the Belgian Company and Associations Code.

The separate financial statements, together with the annual report of the Board of Directors to the general assembly of shareholders as well as the auditor’s report, will be filed with the National Bank of Belgium within the legally foreseen time limits.

These documents are also available on the corporate website of Lotus Bakeries, www.lotusbakeries.com (Investor Relations) or can be obtained for free from the Corporate Secretary of Lotus Bakeries on request.

This financial report is part of the 2022 consolidated annual report of Lotus Bakeries NV. This annual report consists of three parts which are available on the Lotus Bakeries corporate website and also on request, separately and free of charge, from the Lotus Bakeries Corporate Secretary.

The Group prepares and discloses financial statements in the ESEF format in Dutch and English. Additionally the Group makes available in pdf format its financial statements in Dutch and English.

The financial statements prepared in the ESEF format by the Group in Dutch are the only “official ESEF version” of the annual financial statements that discharge the Group from the obligations included in the Transparency Directive.

Financial statements made available in pdf format on the website of the Group as well as financial statements prepared in ESEF format in another language than Dutch are therefore considered as non-official versions and translations.

The official ESEF version prevails over all non-official and translated versions. The official ESEF version of the annual financial statements of the Group is filed on the website of the Group.

The Auditor has issued an unqualified audit opinion with respect to the consolidated and the separate financial statements of Lotus Bakeries NV.
