The areas involving a higher degree of judgment and complexity, as well as those where assumptions and estimates are significant to the interim financial statements, are disclosed in note 2.
At the date of approval of the interim financial statements, Management reasonably expects that the Company has appropriate resources to continue as a going concern in the foreseeable future.

13
SINQIA S.A. NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 (In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$) |

The Company’s Management assessed the new standards, amendments and existing interpretations upon the first-time adoption on January 1, 2023, and concluded that there is no material impact on the Company’s consolidated interim financial statements.

SINQIA S.A. NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE SIX-MONTH PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 (In thousands of Brazilian reais - R$) |
3.4 | Offset of financial instruments |
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset (with the same counterparty) and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts recognized and the intent to either settle them on a net basis, or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
4 | SEGMENT REPORTING |
The Company’s entities are engaged in the supply of goods and provision of information technology services, in addition to consulting services, for the financial sector. Even though the goods are provided to several segments inside the financial institutions, they are not controlled and managed by Management as independent segments, and the Company’s results of operations are controlled, monitored and assessed on an integrated basis.
Therefore, due to Management’s joint control and management approach, it is possible to conclude that the Company operates effectively in one single segment, despite providing its goods and services to several sectors inside the financial institutions.

a) | Information on related parties |
The Company has a related-party transaction policy, which is reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors, as set forth in the Company’s bylaws.
The transactions between the Group companies refer to the sharing of expenses, mainly administrative, and are carried out based on agreements entered into among the parties. There are no intragroup transactions involving the purchase and sale of goods and services.
b) | Management compensation |
The Company has no additional post-employment obligation and does not offer other long-term benefits, such as leave of absence and other benefits for length of service. The Company also does not offer other severance benefits to its Senior Management, other than those prescribed by the Brazilian labor laws.
Short-term benefits
The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting set management’s annual overall compensation for FY2023, limited to the amount of R$22,778 thousand (R$13,003 thousand for FY2022).

Payroll and related taxes | 5,217 | 2,620 | ||||||
Benefits | 748 | 212 | ||||||
Variable bonus and share-based payment | 4,811 | 1,753 | ||||||
10,776 | 4,585 |
c) | Stock Option Plan |
The Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) provides for the granting of call options of the Company’s common shares (“Options”). The purpose of the Plan is to (a) attract, retain and engage key professionals for the Company’s management (“Beneficiaries”), (b) align the Beneficiaries’ interests with those of the Company and its shareholders in a long-term perspective and (c) encourage the Beneficiaries to contribute to the Company’s good performance.
Number of shares included in the Plan: The options granted under the Plan, including those already exercised or not, and without considering those cancelled due to dismissal, death, permanent disability or retirement, can confer rights on common shares representing up to 3% of the Company’s capital on the Plan approval date.
Option exercise: The options granted can be exercised provided that the terms and conditions set out in this Plan and by the Board of Directors, in addition to the terms and conditions set out in the respective Option Agreements, are fulfilled. The Beneficiary can exercise all or part of the exercisable Options, it being, therefore, established that the Beneficiary must exercise at least 25% of the exercisable Options held by it on each partial exercise of the Options. The exercise of part of the Options by the Beneficiary will not impair the exercise of the other Options held.

The Company recognizes in profit or loss, during the period services are provided, the grace period and the cost on the compensation payable to the beneficiaries based on the fair value of the options on the grant date, using the Black-Scholes model to determine the fair value of the options. In the period ended June 30, 2023, R$589 was recorded in line item “Stock Options”. The Company will settle this share-based compensation plan by delivering its own shares, which will be held in treasury until the actual exercise of the shares by the beneficiaries.
The main events related to the effective plans, the variables used in calculations and results are as follows:
