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. NTG's strategy also includes acquiring new businesses and NTG plans to continue searching for and evaluating target businesses operating within NTG's technology segments, meeting its requirements for disruptive technology, with large growth markets and with a clear ESG profile.

As of 31 December 2023 NTG has majority ownership in four companies and a financial investment in one company. NTG is organized in three business areas:

Hammertech AS 84.5%
Nanomaterials technology CondAlign AS 50.5%
CrayoNano AS 14.4%
Clean technology Hystorsys AS 100.0%
MossHydro AS 89.9%

NTG GROUP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS

NTG Group had consolidated revenues of NOK 15.2 million in 2H 2023 compared to NOK 18.6 million in 2H 2022. The revenues in 2H 2023 comes mainly from Hammertech AS (around NOK 5.6 million) and MossHydro AS (around NOK 8.4 million). Total operating expenses ended at NOK 114.0 million compared to total operating expenses of NOK 119.6 million in 2H 2022.

Net operating loss for 2H 2023 amounts to NOK 98.8 million, of which NOK 57.7 million is related to depreciation and amortization expenses compared to a net operating loss in 2H 2022 of NOK 101.0 million, of which NOK 64.5 million was related to depreciation and amortization expenses.

The consolidated NTG Group´s cash balance on 31 December 2023 is around NOK 8.0 million compared to around NOK 54.7 million on 31 December, 2022. Current assets as of 31 December 2023 is around NOK 49.8 million, including NOK 10 million in an escrow account due for release in February 2024 related to the sale of Hybrid Energy AS, and current liabilities is NOK 56.2 million compared to NOK 83.0 million and NOK 87.3 million respectively on 31 December 2022. Total assets on 31 December 2023 are around NOK 656.3 million, of which NOK 516.1 million is related to intangible assets compared to total fixed assets of NOK 711.2 million, of which NOK 644.2 million was related to intangible assets on 31 December 2022. The main change is due to the sale of Hybrid Energy AS in January 2023.

As of 31 December 2023 the Group companies have non-current liabilities of around NOK 29.1 million, primarily related to loans with banks, project financing and innovation loans with other institutions compared to around NOK 22.5 million on 31 December 2022.

Net cash outflow from operating activities during 2023 was NOK 77.3 million compared to a net cash outflow of NOK 39.7 million in 2022. The net cash flow from investing activities was NOK 14.1 million compared to a net cash outflow from investing activities of NOK 1.0 million in 2022. The net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 16.6 million compared to a net cash flow from financing activities of NOK 95.4 million in 2022. The main deviation in cash flow from financing activities is due to the NOK 102.2 million capital raise in Nordic Technology Group AS in 2022 as part of the listing of the company's shares on Oslo Euronext Growth.

The book value of equity as of 31 december 2023 was NOK 571.0 million corresponding to an equity ratio of around 87.0% compared to around NOK 684.5 million (86.2%) on 31 December 2022.

The parent company, Nordic Technology Group AS, has on behalf of certain group companies a total of NOK 34.3 million in guarantees for certain credit facilities and loans with banks and other institutions. The guarantees were on 30 June 2023 extended with 1 year until 30 June 2024. 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.

NTG Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. As of 31 December 2023 no requirement for impairment testing is required as the market values are assumed to be higher than the book values based on third party valuations and equity transactions in the companies. However, the board and management want to emphasize that there will always be a significant 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 2H 2023 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 31 December 2023. The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer confirms that the 2H 2023 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 31 December 2023 that are of importance when assessing the groups position besides what is informed under events after the balance sheet date.

Management reviews on a regular basis cash-flow forecasts to evaluate whether it will be able to cover the liquidity needs for the next 12-month period. In developing estimates of future cash flows, the management makes assumptions about revenue and revenue growth, pricing strategies, cost of materials, payroll and other operating expenses, capital expenditures, potential acquisition opportunities, loan repayments, interest rates, currency development and tax charges. The assumptions applied are based on historical experience and future expectations, and uncertainty arises from the effectiveness of these decisions and their impact on revenues and expenses.

Based on cash flow forecasts for the period up to May 2025, management expects that Wavetrain Systems, Hammertech, CondAlign and Hystorsys will require additional liquidity to execute and proceed with its commercialization and growth strategy and has implemented action plans to secure the liquidity required. Wavetrain Systems and Hammertech has commenced a capital raise transaction. CondAlign has engaged financial advisors to facilitate an equity capital raise, whilst Hystorsys, with a non-material liquidity need is planned supported by the parent company, Nordic Technology Group AS.

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 May 2025.

The Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer at NTG express a measured sense of optimism regarding the future prospects of the NTG Group companies. They carefully assess the current landscape and foresee promising opportunities ahead. The NTG Group companies demonstrate strong market positioning across various sectors, benefitting from efficient product and service offerings that deliver value to their customers. Moreover, their innovative technology foundation disrupts conventional norms, enabling them to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving business environment.

Nordic Technology Group AS NOTES

(Amounts in NOK 1000)

General and basis for preparation

Nordic Technology Group AS was incorporated on 17 February 2021. The group was established on 1 July 2022 by Nordic Technology Group AS acquiring the shareholdings of its subsidiaries, which included Wavetrain Systems AS, Hammertech AS, Hybrid Energy AS (including its 100% owned subsidiary Hystorsys AS), MossHydro AS and CondAlign AS, in addition to CrayoNano AS as a financial investment. On 10 January 2023, Nordic Technology Group AS entered into a share purchase agreement regarding 100% of the shares in Hybrid Energy AS. The shares in Hybrid Energy AS' wholly owned subsidiary Hystorsys AS was not included in the transaction and is now owned 100% by Nordic Technology Group AS. Hybrid Energy AS is not included in the condensed interim financial statements for the period ending on June 30 2023.

The condensed interim financial statements for the period ending on 31 December 2023 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 2022. 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 2022.

It is the opinion of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer that the 2H 2023 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 31 December 2023. The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer confirms that the 2H 2023 financial statements are prepared in accordance with the going concern assumption and has taken this into account when preparing the financial statements.
