DIRECTORS REPORT

NORDIC TECHNOLOGY GROUP

Nordic Technology Group AS (NTG) was incorporated in March 2021 as a limited liability company organized under Norwegian law and with a governance structure based on Norwegian corporate law and other regulatory requirements. NTG has its headquarters located in the municipality of Oslo, Norway.

NTG's overall strategy is to carry out multi-channel value creation and realization by attracting and developing scale-up businesses and building the businesses into becoming industry-leading technology initiatives within their respective market niches.

As of 30 June 2024 NTG has majority ownership in four companies and a financial investment in one company. NTG is organized in three business areas:

Business area Company name NTG%
Sensor technology Wavetrain Systems AS 82.0%
Hammertech AS 82.3%
Nanomaterials technology CondAlign AS 50.5%
CrayoNano AS 14.4%
Clean technology Hystorsys AS 100.0%
MossHydro AS 89.9%

NTG GROUP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS 1H 2024 (Unaudited)

NTG Group had consolidated revenues of NOK 22.7 million in 1H 2024 compared to NOK 12.5 million in 1H 2023 not including the gain of NOK 50.2 million from sale of Hybrid Energy in 1H 2023. The revenues in 1H 2024 comes mainly from Hammertech AS (around NOK 10.1 million) and MossHydro AS (around NOK 11.7 million). Total operating expenses ended at NOK 111.1 million compared to total operating expenses of NOK 103.1 million in 1H 2023 mainly driven by an increase in payroll expenses.

Net operating loss for 1H 2024 amounts to NOK 88.3 million, of which NOK 56.1 million is related to depreciation and amortization expenses compared to a net operating loss in 1H 2023 of NOK 40.3 million, of which NOK 54.6 million was related to depreciation and amortization expenses and NOK 50.2 million related to gain on sale of Hybrid Energy in 1H 2023.

The consolidated NTG Group´s cash balance on 30 June 2024, is around NOK 6.2 million compared to around NOK 10.1 million on 31 December 2023. Current assets as of 30 June 2024 is around NOK 43.9 million and current liabilities is NOK 64.8 million compared to NOK 53.0 million and NOK 62.6 million respectively on 31 December 2023. Total assets on 30 June 2024 are around NOK 617.5 million, of which NOK 479.1 million is related to intangible assets compared to total assets of NOK 659.1 million, of which NOK 515.7 million was related to intangible assets on 31 December 2023. The main change is due to the depreciation of goodwill during the period.

As of 30 June 2024, the Group companies have non-current liabilities of around NOK 49.9 million, primarily related to credit facilities and loans with banks, project financing and innovation loans with other institutions and convertible loans compared to around NOK 28.9 million on 31 December 2023.

Net cash outflow from operating activities during 1H 2024 was NOK 45.3 million compared to a net cash outflow of NOK 48.5 million in 1H 2023. The net cash outflow from investing activities was NOK 23.5 million compared to a net cash flow from investing activities of NOK 38.2 million in 1H 2023. The net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 65.0 million compared to a net cash flow from financing activities of NOK 1.0 million in 1H 2023. The main deviation in cash flow from financing activities is due to issuance of equity in the group companies and new loans in Nordic Technology Group AS in 1 H 2024.

The book value of equity as of 30 June 2024 is NOK 502.9 million corresponding to an equity ratio of around 81.4% compared to around NOK 567.6 million (86.1%) on December 31, 2023.

The parent company, Nordic Technology Group AS, has on behalf of certain group companies a total of NOK 38.3 million in guarantees for certain credit facilities and loans with banks and other institutions. The guarantees were on 30 June 2024 extended with 1 year until 30 June 2025. NTG parent company does not have any financial instruments such as forward contracts or hedging agreements in place exposing the NTG parent or the NTG Group for changes in currency exchange rates, interest rates or other commodity price changes.

The Board of Directors and executive management has carried out an impairment review in accordance with the applicable standards and the company's policies. This review involved assessing the carrying values of the company's assets, considering both internal factors, such as operational performance and future cash flow projections, and external factors, such as market conditions and economic outlook. Based on the evaluation and the recently completed third party valuations, the Board of Directors and executive management has determined that there are no material indicators of impairment that would warrant and require any adjustments to the book values of the NTG´s (parent company) assets as the expected recoverable amounts of these assets continue to exceed their book values. However, the Board of Directors and executive management want to reiterate that there will always be a significant portion of uncertainty surrounding the estimates of the actual obtainable and realizable assets in the NTG's balance sheet should that be required.

GOING CONCERN

It is the opinion of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer that the 1H 2024 financial statements and financial positions provide a true and fair view of the development, risks and results of the parent company and its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2024. The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer confirms that the 1H 2024 financial statements are prepared in accordance with the going concern assumption and has taken this into account when preparing the financial statements. There have been no other circumstances after the end of 30 June 2024 that are of importance when assessing the groups position besides what is informed under events after the balance sheet date.

The Board of Directors and executive management evaluates the future cash flow forecast by conducting a review of the company's financial health, operational performance, and external market conditions. Key financial metrics, such as working capital, capital expenditures, and debt obligations, are scrutinized to anticipate potential cash inflows and outflows. The Board of Directors and executive management also examines the assumptions behind revenue projections, including sales growth and market demand to verify whether they are realistic and aligned with current business conditions. In addition, external factors that could impact cash flow, such as economic shifts, interest rate changes, competitive pressures, and regulatory developments are also examined. The review allows the Board of Directors and executive management to determine the level of financial flexibility the company needs to maintain over the next 12 months and to clarify the strategies for addressing any potential shortfalls in cash flow, such as securing additional financing or optimizing working capital management.

Based on cash flow forecasts for the period up to June 2025, the Board of Directors and executive management expects that Wavetrain Systems, Hammertech, CondAlign will require additional funding to execute and proceed with its commercialization and growth strategy and has implemented action plans to secure the liquidity required. Wavetrain Systems, Hammertech and CondAlign has commenced a capital raise transaction, whilst Hystorsys, with a non-material liquidity need is planned supported by the parent company, Nordic Technology Group AS. In addition, the parent company is currently assessing a new strategic direction to ensure long-term growth and adaptability in a rapidly changing market. This evaluation involves analyzing emerging opportunities, reviewing current business operations, and aligning them with evolving industry trends and customer needs. While we are in the early stages of this process, the goal is to enhance our competitive positioning and continue delivering value to all stakeholders.

However, until financing is secured, there will always be an inherent risk that adequate sources of funds may not be available, or available at acceptable terms and conditions when needed, and as such, there is a considerable risk to the going concern if each of Wavetrain Systems, Hammertech or CondAlign are not successful in obtaining required liquidity.

The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer believes to the best of their abilities that Wavetrain Systems, Hammertech and CondAligns´ initiatives and plans are realistic and sufficient to support the assumption that the Group can meet its financial obligations and continue to support the liquidity requirements for ongoing operations for the period up to June 2025.

There have been no events after the balance sheet date (reporting period) that would have an impact on the Company's financial statements or its financial position at the time issuing this report.

General and basis for preparation

Nordic Technology Group AS (NTG) was incorporated in March 2021 as a limited liability company organized under Norwegian law and with a governance structure based on Norwegian corporate law and other regulatory requirements. NTG has its headquarters located in the municipality of Oslo, Norway. The condensed interim financial statements for the period ending on 30 June 2024 have been prepared on accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act (NGAAP) and generally accepted accounting principles. The accounting principles applied in preparing the interim financial statements are consistent with the annual report for 2023. The interim financial statements are unaudited.

The preparation of the interim financial statements entails the use of valuations, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the amounts recognized as assets and liabilities, income, and expenses. The actual results may deviate from these estimates. The material assessments underlying the application of the group's accounting policy, and the main sources of uncertainty are the same as for the annual report for 2023.

It is the opinion of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer that the 1H 2024 financial statements and financial positions provide a true and fair view of the development, risks and results of the parent company and its subsidiaries as of 30 June 2024.
