According to the approved distribution plan, a minor portion of 34,871.16 PLN was allocated to cover losses incurred during the 2017 financial year.

By distributing nearly the entirety of its annual profit, Frozen District demonstrates a high level of liquidity and financial maturity following its successful market performance. The transaction underscores the efficacy of the group's incubator model, where subsidiary successes directly translate into substantial liquid assets for the parent entity to reinvest or distribute further.
