MESSAGE FROM THE CEO
Dear shareholders,
In 2022, Softbinator Technologies entered an accelerated
development stage. We naturally transitioned from an IT
company to a group of entities that complement and expand our
range of services and solutions. It was a year in which we
experienced intense activity at the level of individual companies,
recording revenue increases for all the entities from the group.
Therefore, in 2022, at a consolidated level, we recorded total
operating revenue of 38.6 million lei, more than double (+117%)
compared to 2021, and a net profit of 5.8 million lei, a 76%
appreciation.
At the individual level, the total operating revenues in 2022
related to Softbinator Technologies increased by 29%, reaching
21.5 million lei due to the intensification of the custom software
development activity. This component contributed 20.4 million lei
to the net turnover corresponding to the predominant activity carried out, a 40% appreciation
compared to 2021. This increase was determined by a series of factors such as attracting new
clients, the company gaining nine new customers in 2022, adjusting rates for existing
contracts, and selling new services with higher fees. In terms of profitability, in 2022,
Softbinator Technologies recorded net result of 3.3 million lei, a 24% increase compared to
2021.
It is important to emphasize that the opening of the US office in the first half of last year is
starting to show results. In 2022, over 51% of our customers came from USA, a market where
we will continue to increase our efforts to attract even more clients. Our strategy remains
focused at a consolidated level. We will continue to target the growth of all the group
companies through integrated multidisciplinary teams, which have all the necessary resources
to deliver more, more efficiently for all existing and potential clients.
However, at the team level, we want to continue to identify new talent that can bring added
value to our group in the long term. For this reason, at the end of 2022, we formalized a
partnership of over ten years with the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics of the University
of Bucharest, where many talented students have the potential to be involved in the coming
years in IT&C projects that solve future world problems. Thus, we are proud that we jointly
inaugurated a state-of-the-art computer laboratory in formalizing this partnership. At the same
time, we are committed to continuing to invest in educating future generations of
programmers and developers. This support will consist both in the purchase of the latest
equipment and the knowledge transfer with the help of our colleagues, who are already
teaching various courses within the faculty.
Regarding the M&A strategy, the results obtained by the group companies confirm that we
are on the right track in terms of such transactions. Thus, we continue to attract new
companies to our group, through which we can expand the range of services and products
offered. We believe that 2023 will be a good year for acquisitions in the context in which
smaller but well-specialized companies will be able to join us to work together on renowned
international projects with high visibility and exposure to higher technology standards.
Considering the development plans at the consolidated level, we needed to bring on board
people with extensive experience in the field of investment and the financial strategy and

4
scaling of a business. Thus, at the beginning of this year, we consolidated our management
team by attracting Vlad Deliu and appointing him as CFO at the group level. Vlad will be
responsible for coordinating the activity of the financial department and implementing the
group's financial strategy. Alongside the management team, he will contribute to the global
growth and expansion strategy of Softbinator Technologies and will be involved in capital-
raising activities and future M&A transactions.
In conclusion, I would like to thank all colleagues, collaborators, partners, and shareholders
who have been with us in 2022 and without whom we would not have reached the point
where we are today: a group of companies that provide complete product development
software services – product management, product design, software development, blockchain
development, and product marketing – for innovative companies, present in the most
competitive markets in the world, such as the US and especially Silicon Valley.
The following pages of this report provide more details about our activity in 2022. For any
questions related to our activity, whether it is about the business of our group or the activity
of Softbinator Technologies in the capital market, please feel free to contact us at
[email protected] .

of view, it offers software development, UI/UX, QA, and Product Management services. Still,
from a business point of view, it represents the product development partner for its customers,

Ixperi builds on a rock-solid foundation, being founded by Radu Vucea, a name in Romanian
digital design with over 17 years of experience in creating B2B and B2C products. Another
major differentiator of Ixperi in the market is the bet on a solid research department,
something very rare in design studios, but also a solid partnership with a Product Design
school, which facilitates the attraction of talent.
Since the beginning, clients have quickly recognized the value that Ixperi offers in the way it
works and the expertise it brings, thus working with clients in various industries, from Fintech
to Health & Fitness, Beauty & Wellness, Hospitality, social media, and Crypto, managing to
expand in multiple geographic areas, from the US to Europe and Asia.

ANALYSYS OF THE FINANCIAL RESULTS
INDIVIDUAL P&L ANALYSIS
In 2022, the operating revenue increased by 29% at the individual level, reaching 21.5 million
lei. The main contribution was the net turnover corresponding to the predominant activity
carried out, namely custom software development, which amounted to 20.4 million lei in 2022,
an 40% increase compared to 2021. The increase was determined by several factors, such as
attracting new clients, the company gaining nine new customers in 2022, adjusting rates for
existing contracts, and selling new services at higher fees. In 2022, 51% of the company's
clients came from the US.
Revenues from the production of intangible assets decreased slightly, by 3%, to 0.77 million
lei. The amount represents the internal development of the Softbinator Magic Stack. Other
operating revenues decreased by 96% to 31K lei and represent tax deductions (disability rights
fund), the sale of unused inventory items, and other discounts. In 2021, these revenues
represented the sale of assets such as servers and a sale of a car.
Operating expenses grew faster than revenues, by 47%, up to 18.6 million lei. The main
category of expenses is represented by employee expenses, which increased by 21% amid
the increase in the average number of employees, from 59 in 2021, to 63 in 2022, as well as
in the context of salary increases for existing employees, a strategic step carried out by the
company to remain competitive in the market.
Third-party expenses brought the second largest contribution to expenses, a 128% increase
compared to 2021, up to 8.1 million lei, due to higher expenses with outsourced development
services (65% of total with third parties). Of this amount, 2 million lei represent expenses
related to projects developed within the group. Also, expenses related to the Board of
Directors increased, representing 11% of the total expenses with third parties. In addition,
the company recorded increases in expenses with other third parties, such as audit, legal,
accounting, and administrative services, but also at the level of subscriptions for various work
tools, such as Slack, Google, Microsoft, etc.
Material expenses registered a 220% increase, up to 167K lei, amid the increase in expenses
for consumables and inventory items needed in carrying out the activity. These increased due
to the move of the company's headquarters in the first half of 2022 to a considerably larger
new space with a larger number of workstations. On the other hand, at the level of rent,
utilities, and maintenance expenses, a 28% decrease was recorded, reaching 558K lei, due to
the 76% reduction in the rent expenses associated with the headquarters due to the move to
the new HQ, where the company benefited for six months of free rent following the successful
negotiations.
Transportation and travel expenses increased by 363%, up to 347K lei, due to the increase in
the number of trips outside the country, representing expenses for plane tickets and
accommodation. The trips were primarily made to the USA, where the company aims to
consolidate and develop business relationships with existing and potential clients. In 2022,
over 51% of the company's clients were from the US. At the same time, in 2022, the company
was present at international events held in Europe and Asia, which targeted the professional
development of employees and the prospecting of new potential clients.
Depreciation and amortization expenses increased 89%, reaching 426K lei, amid the increase
in depreciation related to means of transport and the additional recording of certain value
adjustments on receivables. Other operating expenses decreased by 50%, to 526K lei and
include sponsorships granted to NGOs that carry out projects with an impact on the

15
development of IT-related communities (32% of the total in this category), expenses with
social contributions (disability rights fund), and the provision related to unused holiday leave.
The operating result decreased by 26%, reaching 2.9 million lei. Still, the financial income
increased by 716%, reaching 1.2 million lei, representing the income from dividends received
from the group companies following the M&A activity and income from exchange rate
differences and interest income. Financial expenses amounted to 506K lei, a 219% increase,
representing interest for the IMM Invest credit, leasing for two cars, and expenses from
exchange rate differences. These determined a positive financial result of 692K lei, compared
to a loss of 11K lei in 2021.
Thus, the gross result amounted to 3.6 million lei, down 9%, due to increasing expenses.
Considering that in 2022, the company had an income tax due to the extraordinary profit,
which did not happen again in 2022, the income tax expense in 2022 is 73% lower than in
2021. This led to a net result of 3.3 million lei, a 24% increase compared to 2021.

DELIVERED VS. BUDGETED RESULTS
The main difference in profit margin comes from the negative variation of the exchange rate
and the recording of slightly lower revenues at the level of specific clients compared to the
2022 budget.
INDIVIDUAL BALANCE SHEET ANALYSIS
Fixed assets increased significantly in 2022, from 5 million lei to 14.6 million lei, registering a
192% increase. The increase was primarily determined by a 218% growth of the financial
assets, which at the end of 2022 reached 12.7 million lei, following intense M&A activity, which
included the acquisition of the Digital Tailors entities (Littleland SRL and Overwatch Studios
SRL) as well as [e-spres -oh] (Espresoh Tech SRL). Intangible assets increased by 153%, up
to 1.3 million lei, 60% of the amount representing the asset related to the internally developed
