Exeger Sweden AB (publ) and its subsidiaries engage in activities that include development and commercialization of Dye
Sensitized Solar Cells (DSC).
The consolidated financial accounts were prepared in the parent company Exeger Sweden AB (publ) 556777-6926, a limited
liability company registered in Sweden and domiciled in Stockholm. The street address for the corporate headquarters is
Brinellvägen 32 and the mailing address is Box 55597, SE-102 04 Stockholm, Sweden.
This annual report was approved for publication by the Board of Directors on April 26, 2022.
All amounts are presented in SEK thousands (SEK 000s) unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The most important accounting policies applied when preparing this Annual Report are presented below.
The annual accounts of Exeger Sweden AB were prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and
recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities, from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. As a main rule, this means
that the Company has applied the international financial reporting standards (IFRS/IAS) adopted by the European Union as far
as possible, but some exceptions occur that mainly relate to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Exeger Sweden AB continually
evaluates changes in accounting rules as they arise and takes them into account to the extent permitted by RFR 2.
The Group’s annual report has been prepared in accordance with IFRS.
At the time of preparation of the annual accounts as of December 31, 2021, no changes came into force that affect the business,
nor are there any planned changes that would have a material impact on the business.
Business combinations
Upon acquisition of a business, the cost of the acquisition is calculated as the fair value of the assets and liabilities transferred
on the day of the acquisition, including the fair value of any additional purchase consideration. Transaction costs attributable
to the acquisition are expensed in accordance with IFRS.
Research and development costs that do not meet the criteria are expensed as incurred. Development costs expensed in
previous periods are not recognized as an asset in the subsequent period.
Property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets that are depreciated or amortized are assessed with respect to
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount might not be recoverable. An
impairment loss is recorded for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less selling costs and its value in use. When assessing impairment,
assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Previously
impaired property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are tested for reversal at each balance sheet date.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost: Assets held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows, and where these
cash flows only consist of capital amounts and interest, are recognized at amortized cost. Exeger includes accounts receivable,
cash and cash equivalents and the portion of other current receivables relating to financial instruments in this category.
Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost: Exeger’s liabilities include other borrowings, accounts payable, and the portion
of other current liabilities relating to financial instruments in this category.
Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are financial instruments consisting of amounts to be paid by customers for services sold in the ordinary
course of operations. If payment is expected within one year or earlier, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are
recognized as non-current assets.
Accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest
method less expected credit losses.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are recognized, net
of tax, in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
Accounts payable
Accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The carrying amount of accounts payable is assumed to correspond to its fair value, due to the short-term nature of this item.
Current tax expenses are calculated on the basis of the tax rules that have been adopted or substantively enacted on the
balance sheet date. Management regularly evaluates the claims made in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax rules are subject to interpretation and, when deemed appropriate, it makes provisions for amounts that are likely
to be paid to the Swedish Tax Agency.
Deferred tax is recognized in its entirety, according to the liability method, for all temporary differences arising between the
tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. The deferred tax is not recognized if it
occurs as a result of a transaction that constitutes the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a
business combination and that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither recognized nor taxable profit.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available, against
which the temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax assets and tax liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off tax assets against tax
liabilities, they refer to the same counterparty (taxation authority) and the intention is to settle the assets/liabilities with a net
payment.
Warrant program
Exeger has issued a warrant program, which is still underway as of Dec. 31, 2021. Warrants have been allocated to key
employees within the Group, for which a market price has been paid by the person to whom the warrants have been allocated.
The fair value of the warrants has been determined through application of Black & Scholes. Consequently, no employee benefit
arises for the warrant programs.
Revenue recognition
For revenue generated by the Company, income is recognized at the fair value of what has been or will be received and
recognized to the extent that it is likely that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be calculated
in a reliable manner.
For sales of goods, revenue is recognized when the significant benefits and risks associated with ownership of the goods have
been transferred from the Company to the buyer, which normally takes place upon delivery.
Net sales consist of income from the sale of cells, which are classified as goods. The performance commitment is fulfilled
when the goods are delivered to the customer and the revenue is recognized upon delivery. Payment is usually made within
30 days of delivery.
In general, warranties are provided for a period of 24 months after the time of delivery. Warranties are provided for defined
functional parameters within this period. Warranties are generally limited to direct damages and amount to a maximum of 75
percent of the contract value per rolling 12 months.
The benefit of the conditional loan, consisting of borrowings at an interest rate below market rates, is recognized as
government aid. The loan is initially recognized at fair value. The difference between the amount received and the fair value of
the loan is recognized as government aid. In subsequent periods the loan is recognized at amortized cost using the effective
interest method.
For loans received prior to the first day of reporting in accordance with IFRS January 1, 2013, no portion is recognized as
government aid.
Government grants relating to costs are deferred and recognized in profit or loss over the same periods as the costs that they
are intended to compensate. Conditional loans are recognized using the effective interest method and thus contain an interest
component related to the discount of the loan.
Leases
Exeger rents premises, primarily offices, warehouse facilities and production space. The leases contain various terms of
contract, but no covenants.
There are options for extension, which are assessed on an agreement by agreement basis to determine whether it is reasonably
certain that they will be exercised. Options for extension are included in the term of the lease if it is reasonably certain that
they will be exercised. Leases are recognized as right-of-use assets with a corresponding lease liability, on the day on which the
leased asset is available for use by Exeger.
Depreciation of the asset and interest expenses on the liability are recognized in profit or loss. The interest component is
distributed over the lease term so that each accounting period is charged with an amount corresponding to a fixed interest
rate for the lease liability recognized during that period.
Lease payments are discounted with the implicit interest rate in the lease if it can be easily determined; if not, the current loan
interest rate is applied. The current loan interest rate is 2.81 percent, which is the interest rate that Exeger would have had to
pay for a loan during the same period with the same collateral on the amount that would be required to buy a similar asset in a
similar financial environment.
Lease payments for short-term leases and leases for which the underlying asset is of low value are expensed on an ongoing
basis. Short-term leases are contracts with a term of 12 months or less.
Operating margin, %
Operating profit/loss excluding items affecting comparability, depreciation, amortization and impairment of plant, property,
and equipment and intangible assets, divided by net sales.
EBITDA
Operating profit/loss before depreciation, amortization and impairment, as well as before items affecting comparability.
Critical estimates and assessments when applying the Company’s accounting policies
Estimates and assessments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including
expectations of future events that are considered reasonable under the prevailing circumstances.
The Group is exposed through its business to a number of financial risks, mainly attributable to accounts receivable, accounts
payable and liabilities to credit institutions. The financial risks consist of market risk, mainly currency risk, credit risk and
liquidity risk. The Group strives to minimize the potentially adverse effects of these risks on the Group's financial
performance.
The Company does not apply hedge accounting in accordance with the rules in IFRS 9.
Cash flow interest rate risk and fair value interest rate risk
Since the Company does not hold significant interest-bearing assets, its income and cash flow from operating activities are
essentially unaffected by changes in market interest rates.
The Company’s interest rate risk primarily arises from non-current borrowings. As of the balance sheet date, the Company has
conditional loans and loans from Svensk Exportkredit (Swedish Export Credit Corporation). The conditional loans are interest-
free until the first amortization occurs.
The loans are recognized at amortized cost using the effective interest method. See also the section Government aid for
development projects above for a more detailed description of the conditional loans. The loans carry a fixed interest rate from
the first amortization date, for which reason no cash flow risk is deemed to be present. However, the fair value of the loan may
be affected by changes in market interest rates.
See also Notes G19 – Lease liabilities and G20 – Non-current liabilities, which describe the terms of the loans in greater detail
and present a table analyzing maturity.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its short-term payment commitments due to
insufficient funds. The management monitors rolling forecasts for the Group's liquidity reserve (including credit facilities)
and cash and cash equivalents based on expected cash flows. Because of the Group’s growth profile, flexible risk
management is required with respect to liquidity risk.
The Group's liquidity consists of cash and bank balances of SEK 110.4 million and an operating credit of SEK 100 million,
which as of December 31 was unutilized.
The undiscounted cash flows arising from the Company’s liabilities in the form of financial instruments, based on the
contractual earliest remaining maturities as of the balance sheet date can be found in Note G20 – Non-current liabilities.
Amounts due within 12 months agree with the booked amounts, since the discount has no material effect.
The Swedish Energy Agency may decide to waive the remaining repayment obligation in cases where the Swedish Energy
Agency determines, upon written request from the borrower, that projects have not provided, nor can they be expected to
provide, economic return.

“Audit assignments” refer to the audit of the annual report and accounting records, as well as the administration of the
Company by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, other tasks incumbent on the Company's auditor and
advice or other assistance resulting from observations made during audits or the performance of such tasks. Everything else
is divided into tax consultations and other assignments.
For specification of remuneration to the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer, see G24 — Transactions with
related parties.

Capitalized development costs that have not yet been completed are not amortized. Instead, such assets are tested for
impairment. The recoverable amount of capitalized development costs has been determined based on value in use. The
calculation is based on estimated future cash flows, which in turn are based on the 2022 budget and forecasts for the period
2023-2026 prepared by Group management and approved by the Board.
The forecasts are based partly on historical costs, a best assessment of revenue from the Group's development, as well as on
the basis of external information about market growth etc. Forecasts are formulated based on a number of assumptions
regarding future growth and operating margin.
The calculated recoverable amount is compared with the carrying amount. Cash flows beyond the three-year period, i.e. after
2026, are extrapolated using an estimated growth rate of 2 percent, which corresponds to a weighted average growth rate
under the Riksbanken’s (the Swedish Central Bank) inflation target and is in line with sustainable growth for the industry.
With a change +/- 1 percentage point in the discount rate, there is no need for impairment.
Given a change in growth of +/- 1 percentage point beyond the projection period, there is still no need for impairment.

The parent company, Exeger Sweden AB, applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2 Accounting
for Legal Entities, from the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. RFR 2 requires the parent company to apply the same
accounting policies as the Group, i.e. IFRS to the extent permitted by RFR 2.
The main differences between accounting policies adopted for the Group and accounting policies for the parent company
are:
Group companies
Investments are recognized according to the cost method. Investments
are recognized at cost and only dividends are recognized in the income statement. Impairment tests are performed annually
and impairment is recognized if it can be assumed that the decline in value is permanent.
Business combinations
Acquisition-related costs are included in cost in the accounts of the acquiring company,
while they are expensed for the Group when they arise.
