Information Document

Nordic Technology Group AS

(A private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway)

Admission to trading of shares on Euronext Growth Oslo ________________________________________________________

This Information Document (the "Information Document") has been prepared by Nordic Technology Group AS (the "Company" and, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group" or "NTG") solely for use in connection with the admission to trading of all issued shares of the Company on Euronext Growth Oslo, a multilateral trading facility operated by Oslo Børs ASA.

As of the date of this Information Document, the Company's registered share capital is NOK 300,511.355932203, divided into 70,920,680 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.0042 (rounded) (the "Shares").

The Shares have been approved for admission on Euronext Growth Oslo and it is expected that the Shares will start trading on or about 5 July 2022 under the ticker symbol "NTG". The Shares are registered with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (Nw.: Verdipapirsentralen) (the "VPS") in book-entry form.

Euronext Growth is a market operated by Euronext. Companies on Euronext Growth, a multilateral trading facility (MTF), are not subject to the same rules as companies on a Regulated Market (a main market). Instead they are subject to a less extensive set of rules and regulations adjusted to small growth companies. The risk in investing in a company on Euronext Growth may therefore be higher than investing in a company on a Regulated Market. Investors should take this into account when making investment decisions.

The present Information Document does not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71. The present Information Document has been drawn up under the responsibility of the Company. It has been reviewed by the Euronext Growth Advisor and by Oslo Børs.

THIS INFORMATION DOCUMENT SERVES AS AN INFORMATION DOCUMENT ONLY, AS REQUIRED BY THE EURONEXT GROWTH MARKETS RULE BOOK AND NOTICES ISSUED BY OSLO BØRS. THIS INFORMATION DOCUMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO BUY, SUBSCRIBE OR SELL ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND NO SECURITIES ARE BEING OFFERED OR SOLD PURSUANT HERETO.

Investing in the Shares involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should read the entire document and in particular Section 1 "Risk factors" and Section 3.3 "Cautionary note regarding forwardlooking statements" when considering an investment in the Company and its Shares.

INFORMATION TO DISTRIBUTORS

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that they each are: (i) compatible with an end target market of investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II (the "Positive Target Market"); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Appropriate Channels for Distribution"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment (as defined below), distributors should note that: the price of the Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. Conversely, an investment in the Shares is not compatible with investors looking for full capital protection or full repayment of the amount invested or having no risk tolerance, or investors requiring a fully guaranteed income or fully predictable return profile (the "Negative Target Market", and, together with the Positive Target Market, the "Target Market Assessment").

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES

The Company is a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway. As a result, the rights of holders of the Shares will be governed by Norwegian law and the Company's articles of association (the "Articles of Association"). The rights of shareholders under Norwegian law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions.

The members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board Members" and the "Board of Directors", respectively) and the members of the Company's senior management (the "Management") are not residents of the United States of America (the "United States" or the "U.S."), and all of the Company's assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be very difficult for investors in the United States to effect service of process on the Company, the Board Members and members of the Management in the United States or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against the Company or those persons, whether predicated upon civil liability provisions of federal securities laws or other laws of the United Stated (including any State or territory within the United States).

The United States and Norway do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgements (other than arbitral awards) in civil and commercial matters. Uncertainty exists as to whether courts in Norway will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the United States, against the Company or its Board Members or members of Management under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Norway against the Company or its Board Members or members of Management under the securities laws of other jurisdictions.

In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United States or elsewhere may not be enforceable in Norway. The United States does not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgements (other than arbitral awards) in civil and commercial matters with Norway.

Similar restrictions may apply in other jurisdictions.

1. RISK FACTORS

An investment in the Shares involves inherent risks. Before making an investment decision with respect to the Shares, investors should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and all information contained in this Information Document, including the financial information and related notes. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford to lose all or part of their investment. The absence of negative past experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties described herein should not be considered prior to making an investment decision.

The risk factors included in this Section 1 are not exhaustive with respect to all risks relating to the Group and the Shares. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company currently believes are immaterial, or that are currently not known to the Company, may also have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. The risk factors are presented in a limited number of categories, where each risk factor is placed in the most appropriate category based on the nature of the risk it represents. Within each category, the risk factors deemed most material for the Group, taking into account their potential negative effect for the Company and its subsidiaries and the probability of their occurrence, are set out first. This does not mean that the remaining risk factors are ranked in order of their materiality or comprehensibility, nor based on a probability of their occurrence.

If any of the risks were to materialise, individually or together with other circumstances, it could have a material and adverse effect on the Group and/or its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value of the Shares that could result in a loss of all or part of any investment in the Shares. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks the Group may face. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Company currently believes are immaterial, or that are currently not known to the Company, may also have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. The risks mentioned herein could materialise individually or cumulatively. The information in this Section 1 is as of the date of this document.

1.1 Risks related to the Company and the Group structure

The Company and the Group are newly established and the Group has no consolidated operating or financial history

The Company was incorporated on 15 March 2021 and has not yet had any operating activities. The Group was established on 1 July 2022, following an acquisition by the Company of the majority of the shares in Hybrid Energy AS (including its subsidiary Hystorsys AS), Wavetrain Systems AS, CondAlign AS, MossHydro AS and Hammertech AS, as well as minority shareholdings in CrayoNano AS (such companies hereinafter referred to as the "NTG Companies"). Accordingly, the Group share no common operating or financial history. Although all of the NTG Companies have several years of operating history, there can be no assurance that the Group's joint operations going forward will prove successful or that any of the expected and targeted synergies within the Group will be realized.

The Group faces a number of operational risks as a newly incorporated group, including, inter alia, (i) the Group's new executive management not functioning as planned, (ii) new systems, routines and other integration measures not being implemented or serving as intended and/or (iii) other integration measures taking longer time or being costlier than anticipated. Furthermore, return calculations, budgets and accounting based on forecasts and assumptions may prove incorrect or vary over time, and, thus, the Group's financial objectives are associated with great uncertainty. If any of these risks materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's and the Group's contemplated business going forward, as well as financial position, future profits and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional liquidity financing.

The Company's earnings are dependent on development and profitability of its subsidiaries and Associated Companies, the majority of the NTG Companies have to date not achieved positive operating results

In order for the Company to become and remain profitable, it is dependent on distributions from, or the potential realization of ownership interest in, its subsidiaries and affiliated companies (in which NTG holds an equity interest below 50% (the "Associated Companies")). All of the NTG Companies are growth companies, several of which are in a pre-commercial phase with outstanding debt, limited or no revenues and negative operating results.

The Company and two of its subsidiaries have material uncertainties relating to going concern

No actual consolidated group accounts have been prepared and audited for the Group, and the consolidated pro forma financial statements for 2021 may not accurately reflect the underlying financial condition of the consolidated Group. The Company's financial statements for 2021 as well as the annual financial statements for 2021 of Wavetrain Systems AS and Hybrid Energy AS include the auditor's emphasis of material uncertainty relating to going concern which relates to the fact that they are in an early-commercial phase with limited earnings. The companies' future earnings are dependent on their ability to execute on their respective business strategy, and if that fails, the companies may need additional funding. There is no guarantee that new equity or other funding opportunities will be available when needed, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on the Group's

financial position, potential for return, growth prospects, business strategy and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional liquidity financing.

Each of the NTG Companies are subject to their own specific business and industry related risk factors over which the Company has little opportunity to control or mitigate.

On an overall level, the NTG Companies face several material barriers for achieving their prospective business plans and operating targets and achieving or maintaining positive operating results, including, without limitation:

  • the ability to ensure further development of their technology,
  • successfully marketing and commercializing of their products; and
  • being able to penetrate international markets with their product offerings.

In order to overcome such barriers and successfully realize their individual business strategies and commercialize products, several of the NTG Companies are dependent on securing additional funding going forward, on top of existing debt, in particular Wavetrain Systems AS, Hammertech AS, Hybrid Energy AS (together with its subsidiary Hystorsys AS) and CondAlign AS. Thus, there are no assurances or guarantees that the Company's investments will yield proceeds or result in profits in the near future or at all. If one or several of the Group's subsidiaries or Associated Companies prove to be unprofitable, it may have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position, potential for return, growth prospects, business strategy and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional liquidity financing.

The Group faces a variety of operational risks relating to sensor, nanomaterials and clean-technology

The Group is currently involved in various segments within the technology industry, more specifically sensor, nanomaterials and clean-tech. Operational risks in these sectors of the technology industry are, among others, related to companies not being able to adjust their activities to changing market conditions as well as not being able to develop, market and commercialize products, projects and operations within commercially acceptable timelines and cost expenditures. The technology industry and market sectors in which the Group operates may be subject to rapid development and changes, making the Group's market sectors inherently competitive. Thus, the Company's and the Group's future earnings are highly dependent on the NTG Companies being able to develop operations in line with such development and change, and compete efficiently.

In addition to the above, adverse macroeconomic developments may affect the investments and activity level in the technology industry and the demand for the Group's technology and products, which in turn may affect the value of, and future prospects for, the Group and income for the Company, and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional liquidity financing.

The Company and its subsidiaries hold and may in the future acquire minority shareholdings, and the interests of such other stakeholders may differ and conflict with those of the Company

The Company holds a minority shareholding below 30% of the share capital and voting rights in CrayoNano AS, and may also make additional investments and acquire minority shareholdings in other technology companies in the future. Other shareholders in such Associated Companies may have opposing interests to the Company and may prevent strategies or decisions in the Associated Companies that are in the best interest of the Company and the Group.

Moreover, the Group's subsidiaries have certain minority shareholders that may have different interest than that of the Company and the Group. In any subsidiary where the Company does not control all corporate decisions, such as changes to the articles of association, share capital increases etc., the minority shareholders may block resolutions or decisions, or restrict strategies that are considered in the best interest of the Company and the Group. This could also entail that the Company is not able to realize expected synergies for the NTG Companies within the Group, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's and the Group's business, result of operations and future prospects, and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional liquidity financing.

Dividend payments to the Company from the NTG Companies may be restricted

The Company's ability to receive dividends and other payments from the NTG Companies will, in addition to such companies having sufficient cash flows and profits, be dependent on the terms of agreements with the other stakeholders of such companies. In particular, the NTG Companies Wavetrain Systems AS, Hybrid Energy AS and Hammertech AS have issued preference shares pursuant whereby the holders of the preference shares will receive dividend before the ordinary shares on further specified terms and conditions. Refer to section 10.2.2 "Share structure in the Group's subsidiaries" below.

The Company's ownership in its subsidiaries and Associated Companies may be diluted if the Company does not participate on a pro rata basis or at all in future equity raises

As an active owner of its subsidiaries and Associated Companies, the Company will be expected to participate in future equity capital raises in the NTG Companies, which the Company may require external debt or equity to finance. In particular, two of the Company's subsidiaries have emphasis regarding material uncertainties relating to going concern and may need funding. It can, however, not be guaranteed that the Company will be able to participate in future equity raises on a pro rata basis or at all, in particular for its Associated Companies in which the Company holds minority interests and does not control corporate decisions and may thus not be offered to participate in such offerings. Moreover, certain of the NTG Companies, have granted board authorizations to increase the share capital of the respective NTG Company and/or have issued options, subscription rights and convertible loans, which give right to new shares if exercised or converted, as applicable, (refer to section 10.4 "Board authorizations to increase share capital and rights to shares" below). If such options or subscription rights are exercised or loans are converted to new shares, or the Company does not participate in future equity capital raises in its subsidiaries and Associated Companies, its ownership will be diluted and the Company may not have the same degree of influence as is currently contemplated.

As part of its business strategy, the Company may acquire additional businesses or dispose of holdings in subsidiaries and Affiliated Companies and there are no assurances that intended synergies or profit will materialize, that new business will or can be integrated as planned or that losses from acquisitions will not occur

The Company's business strategy involves investing in and managing companies within specific sectors of the technology industry, which may also include divestment of shareholdings in NTG Companies, in particular as the Company has received incoming interests to acquire subsidiaries. The rationale for the Company's investments and divestments may include, among others, to acquire businesses that are compatible and advantageous to the businesses of the Group and to obtain and realize synergies, or, for divestments, to realize a profit on holdings. There is a risk that the Company will not be able to find suitable transactions on favorable terms and that the Company's future transactions, if any, may not lead to the intended synergies, value development or profit. If the Group is unable to identify suitable targets and transactions, the Group's liquidity, growth prospects and strategy may suffer, and the Group may not be able to realize sufficient scale advantages to compete effectively in all markets. In addition, in pursuing acquisitions, the Group may face competition from other companies in the technology industry in its efforts to acquire new technology businesses.

To the extent that the Group is successful in making acquisitions, it may have to spend substantial amounts of cash, incur debt, assume loss-making business and incur other types of expenses in order to acquire and integrate the acquired businesses, and such integration may not be successful. In addition, the Group may be required to increase costs, reduce anticipated synergies and reduce return of investments. After an acquisition of a company is completed, the Company may also discover risks or issues that were not catered for at the time of acquisition and which may have an adverse effect on the Group's business, revenue, profit and financial condition. Although the Company may obtain certain warranties and indemnities from the seller(s) of an acquired business, such contractual arrangements may not cover all losses that may arise following these acquisitions, as such warranties and indemnities may be subject to deductibles and time limitations, as well as be limited to maximum amounts. Following an acquisition, the Group may therefore incur losses that may not be recoverable from the seller(s) or at all. If any of these risks materialize, it could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial position and future profits.

The Company faces risks relating to the establishment of the Group through the acquisitions of the NTG Companies

The Company's acquisitions of the NTG Companies were made through transactions which may give raise to legal claims and disputes involving the Company. The share price paid by the Company for the share acquisitions in the Minority Offers and the Transaction (as further defined and described in section 9.1 "Details on the Transaction and establishment of the Group"), were negotiated on the basis of the assumed net asset value and previous transactions in the share capital of the respective NTG Company, with certain agreed discounts on such valuation amounts varying from 15-50%.

The discounts agreed were based on assumptions believed to be valid at the time of the transactions, inter alia relating to future prospects of the respective NTG Company, the market in which it operates and macroeconomic factors, all of which may prove to be incorrect. Company valuations are inherently complex, and the use of different valuation standards, and different methods in the balancing of such applied standards, may result in different valuations than what was concluded by the Company and the sellers. The valuations of the NTG Companies could as such give rise to claims for additional payment from the sellers and to legal disputes involving the Company and the transaction. Defending such legal claims could prove costly and there can be no guarantee that a court of law will not find that the sellers' sale of the NTG Companies to have been based on insufficient information and hold the Company liable to pay damages, or that the transactions are held void resulting in a retransfer of the shares in the NTG Companies from the Company to the sellers.

If such risks were to materialize, that could have a material effect of the Company and the Group's business, financial position and future profits.

The Company may be held liable for a default in the overdraft facility arrangements of certain of the NTG Companies.

The Company has guaranteed repayment for the financing facilities of certain of its subsidiaries, including Wavetrain Systems AS, Hammertech AS, CondAlign AS and Hybrid Energy AS, with an aggregate amount of NOK 52 million, of which 37 million relate to overdraft facilities. The relevant overdraft facilities for Wavetrain Systems AS, Hammertech AS and Hybrid Energy AS are up for their review on 31 July 2023. In the event that one or more of the subsidiaries are not able to repay any outstanding amounts under the facilities when due, the Company will be obliged to repay on behalf of the relevant subsidiaries. In such case, the Company may have to, for example, raise additional equity to finance its guaranteed obligations, take up short term loans with strict repayment and interest terms and/or revise the use of proceeds intended for strategy and growth initiatives for its subsidiaries going forward.

The Company may from time to time experience conflicts of interest in its relationship with its shareholders and the resolution of these conflicts may not be on the most favourable terms for the Company or its other shareholders.

Following completion of the Company's acquisition of the NTG Companies, three of the members of the Board of Directors, including the Chair, will be members of the board of directors of the Company's three largest shareholders, the NIK Funds (as defined below). Moreover, the Company's CEO and CFO are executive officers in the management company of such shareholders. Each of these relationships could create, or appear to create, potential conflicts of interest; decisions by the Company may have different implications for shareholders than for the Company and the interests of the Company and the shareholders may differ significantly. While the Company's Board of Directors, and executive officers are legally required to act in the Company's best interests, there are no guarantees that no conflicts of interest will arise and, in such event, that the interest conflicts are identified and resolved in the Company's favour. In the event any such conflicts of interest were to materialise with a result to the detriment of the Company, the Company's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flow and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern may be materially and adversely affected.

1.2 Risks related to the Group and the industry in which it operates

The Group may not be able to implement its business strategy successfully or manage its growth effectively

The Group is newly established. The Group's ability to implement its strategy, including its ability to realize the expected benefits of establishing the Company as a new industrial holding company for the Group and achieve its business and financial growth objectives, is subject to a variety of factors, including the risk factors described herein, many of which are beyond the Group's control. The Group's failure to achieve and utilize synergies, execute its business strategy or to manage its growth effectively could adversely affect the Group's business, growth, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. In addition, there can be no guarantee that even if the Group successfully implements its strategy, it would result in the Group achieving its business and financial objectives; the Group's objectives are based on, inter alia, assumptions and estimates about relevant markets and sectors, which are inherently uncertain and may change within a short period of time.

The Group may require additional capital in the future in order to execute the NTG Companies commercialization and growth strategies or for other purposes, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all

The NTG Companies currently are in an early phase of their commercialization and business development, and the Companies auditor has made an emphasis regarding material uncertainties relating to going concern in its audit of the financial statements for 2021. Further, the Group's liquidity budget assumes the fulfilment of certain commercial milestones by the subsidiaries and Affiliates Companies. No assurance can be given that the Group will not require additional funds in order to execute and complete its commercialization and growth strategy, or for other purposes. Following the 12 months' period after the date of admission to trading on Euronext Growth, the Group's principal source of liquidity may still be cash generated from financing, equity and debt, in addition to net cash flows generated from sales, and consequently there is a risk that the borrowing arrangement and available liquidity sources that the Group has in place are not sufficient to cover the Group's existing or future expenditures. If the Group requires additional funds in order to execute its commercialization and growth strategy, or for other purposes, there is a risk that adequate sources of funds may not be available, or available at acceptable terms and conditions, when needed. If the Group raises additional funds by issuing additional equity securities, the existing shareholders may be significantly diluted. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the NTG Companies may be unable to fund the current and ongoing commercialization of their products and lose business opportunities and thereby risk to fail to respond to competitive pressures. If the Group for any reason does not obtain additional funding as needed in the future, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's revenues, profitability, liquidity, cash flow, financial positions and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group is dependent on compliance with extensive regulatory requirements and various certifications and approvals

The Group is subject to regulatory requirements in relation to the business activities of the NTG Companies, and any change in or breach of regulatory requirements could result in increased costs, disruption of business operations, liability and negative publicity for the Group. As the Group's operations and business strategy are heavily tied to its technology, changes in applicable regulatory framework, sudden changes in established interpretations or practice by government or other regulatory standards could require the Group to adapt its business activities, redesign or re-engineer existing products or services, revise its strategy, or invest additional resources in ensuring compliance.

As an example, the Group's subsidiary Wavetrain Systems AS ("Wavetrain") is a producer and supplier of sensor technology to the railway industry, which requires certifications and safety approvals from European and national regulatory bodies as well as from customers for operational use. Although Wavetrain has obtained several certifications and safety approvals, there are no guarantees that Wavetrain will obtain all necessary approvals and certifications required to fully commercialize its products in its targeted scale without delay or at all. Even if obtained, the Group faces risks that approvals or certifications are withdrawn as a result of non-compliance or new certifications and safety-testing regimes being introduced. If Wavetrain for any reason is not able to obtain or maintain all necessary approvals and certifications for operational use of its products by customers, this may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's financial position, future prospects and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Moreover, several of the NTG Companies hold independent certifications (such as ISO certifications), which may be required or desired by current or potential customers of the NTG Companies. Accordingly, any loss of existing certifications or non-compliance with new certification requirements or industry standards may adversely affect the NTG Companies' competitive position or their ability to fully commercialize services or products, which may have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations, financial condition, future prospects and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group is dependent upon retaining and attracting current and prospective highly skilled personnel, in particular related to sales and marketing functions

The Group's ability to operate its business and implement its strategies depends, in part, on the skills, experience and efforts of its key personnel involved in, among others, management, research and development and operations. In particular, the Group is dependent on retaining and attracting highly skilled personnel with sales and marketing expertise as the Group currently has several products in a commercial introductory face. The Group believes that its success to a great extent relies on its ability to attract key marketing personnel, competition for whom may be intense.

If the Group were to lose the service of one or more of its executive officers or other key personnel, or be unable to attract a sufficient number of new highly competent personnel, it may not be able to execute its business strategy effectively. There can be no assurance, however, that the Group will be able to retain or recruit such personnel on acceptable terms or at all. Further, even though the Group has implemented non-compete provisions in certain employment agreements with key personnel, there is no guarantee that such provisions will effectively hinder key personnel from leaving the Group and engage in competing business, which will in turn expose the Group to increased competition within its markets. The loss of, or inability to recruit, such personnel could affect the Group's ability to develop, commercialize and sell its products and services effectively, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position, profits and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Defects, errors or bugs in the Group's products may result in legal liability or reputational damage

The technologies underlying the Group's products are inherently complex and may contain material defects or errors, particularly when first introduced to customers or when new features or capabilities are released. The Group may from time to time experience delays in the launch of new products due to, for example, delay in technical data, defects or errors in its products, and there can be no assurance that its new products, if launched, will not contain defects. For some of the NTG Companies, such as Wavetrain and Hammertech, customers will most likely also perform own testing of the products before committing to larger orders or license agreements. Some of the Group's products also requires integration with customers own products, and unknown and unexpected challenges or defects may occur as a consequence of such integration measures.

As examples of the above, Wavetrain historically experienced certain inconsistencies in product response during testing. Mitigating measures were however implemented and Wavetrain's product was subsequently certified by the client. Hammertech has experienced certain reading discrepancies during tests conducted on low flow-rate oil wells. Any real or perceived errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in the products could inhibit the NTG Companies from successfully introducing their products in the market, result in negative publicity or, if and when actively operating, lead to performance issues and product liability claims. Furthermore, any costs incurred in correcting such defects or errors may be substantial and may harm the Group's reputation and impose liability. Consequently, any defects or errors in the Group's technologies could have a material adverse effect on the Group's reputation, business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/or prospects and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group is exposed to health and safety risks in the event of failure, defects or misuse of the Group's technology

Several of the businesses of the NTG Companies exposes the Group to risks related to health and safety. For example, the Group's subsidiary Wavetrain offers technology for detecting approaching trains, Hybrid Energy AS offers technology for high-temperature heat pumps and Hystorsys AS works with hydrogen compression, while Hammertech AS provides devices for oil well metering. As these operations may involve inter alia, precision equipment for detecting high-speed trains which are subject to potential defects, heating temperatures of above

100°C and devices to be operated in highly ignitable atmospheres, the Group's operations are subject to a number of health and safety risks. Even though the products of said NTG Companies have been subject to extensive testing and have achieved pertinent certifications, there can be no assurance that their technology will function as intended at all times. Failure, defects, misuse or wrongful instalment of the technology offered by the NTG Companies and/or the products related thereto may lead to severe accidents risking injuries or loss of human life, or cause material property damage. Malfunctions in Wavetrain's technology may also lead to disruption in the railway infrastructure. Furthermore, malfunctions in Hammertech's devices or oil well measuring could, although certificated for this purpose, potentially cause or contribute to cause sparks or ignitions, which may disrupt oil production and/or result in fires, explosions and damages to oil installations and surrounding infrastructure. The Group may as a result of such accidents or incidents be held accountable and legally liable in part or in full for damages. Accordingly, should any such event materialize, it may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's financial position, results of operations, future prospects and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional liquidity financing, as well as to cause significant reputational damage for the relevant NTG Company and for the Group as a whole.

The Group is subject to significant technical and product development risk and face risk of delays, overruns and termination of projects

Certain of the products and services provided by the NTG Companies have not been finally developed and contains inherent technical risks. For example, certain of the NTG Companies' products, such as the technology offered by CondAlign AS and Hystorsys AS, are subject to design risk related to product dimensioning, which if materialized could limit their ability to fully address and utilize their currently targeted markets.

Although the technology solutions of the NTG Companies are proven in many aspects, the Group is on a continuous basis developing its technologies and products and it is expected that further developments in various extents are necessary for the successful commercialization of the Group's products. Inherent risks with technological developments are delays and cost overruns. Moreover, there are no assurances that developments will be successful at all and termination of project developments may result in significant losses for the relevant NTG Company and also overall for the Group. Failure to successfully develop the Group's products may also negatively affect the ability to gain market acceptance, which may have a significantly adverse effect on the Group's financial position, result of operations and future prospects and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group's business is heavily dependent on intellectual property rights

Technology and know-how is an inherent part of the Group's daily business and strategy, several of which are also dependent on patent protection. Any failure to adequately protect the Group's proprietary rights could result in the Group's competitors offering similar products, potentially resulting in the loss of some of the Group's competitive advantage and may adversely affect the Group's business, prospects and financial condition. The Group's success depends on its ability to protect the Group's core technology and intellectual property.

The Group seeks to protect its intellectual property, amongst other, through the filing of patent applications. There is a risk that the Group could be unsuccessful in obtaining and maintaining adequate patent protection. Filing, prosecuting and defending patents in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and it is possible that competitors will use the Group's technologies in jurisdictions where the Group has not yet obtained patent protection in order to develop its own products, which will then directly compete against the Group's products.

Despite precautions taken by the Group to protect its intellectual technology and products, unauthorized third parties may attempt to copy, or obtain and use its technology and products. A third party may infringe the Group's intellectual property, release confidential information about the Group's intellectual property and/or claim rights to patented technology belonging to the Group. In addition, the Group may fail to discover infringement of its intellectual property, or any steps taken (or that will be taken) by it may not be sufficient to protect its intellectual property rights or prevent others from seeking to invalidate the Group's intellectual property.

The Group also relies on a combination of patents, trade secrets, including know-how, employee and third-party non-disclosure agreements and confidentiality procedures, trademarks, intellectual property licenses and other contractual provisions to protect its intellectual property rights. The Group cannot give any assurance that the measures implemented to protect trade secrets and intellectual property rights, including patented technology, will give satisfactory protection. In particular, the Group's technology is to a great extent developed by former and current employees of the NTG Companies, and given the insufficient protection provided in some of the Group's employment agreements with such persons, there is a risk that employees may claim ownership interest or other rights to the Group's intellectual property rights or other inventor rights. If the ownership to the intellectual propertyor other inventor rights have not been legally and validly transferred from the inventor and/or creator to the Group, there is a risk that the Group – in lack of an agreement with the inventor and/or creator – does not have a legal right to use the intellectual property in question. Whether or not measures to secure the intellectual property and other confidential information are successful, such information may still become known to existing or new competitors of the Group or be independently developed.

The Group's failure to process, obtain or maintain adequate protection of its intellectual property for any reason may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations and financial condition and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group is obligated to pay royalties to third parties for the utilization of certain of the Group's intellectual property. Wavetrain, for example, is obligated to pay royalties to Stiftelsen NORSAR of 3,3% of the net value of sold products incorporating technology covered by an assignment agreement which covers all or most of Wavetrain products. However, the maximum royalties to be paid is NOK 3,500,000 in total during the products' lifecycle.

The Group is subject to production and customer risk

Several of the NTG Companies are in the introductory phase of commercializing their products and several of the NTG Companies have to date not achieved complete market penetration. There are no guarantees that there will be sufficient demand for the NTG Companies' products going forward, particularly if the products fail to deliver on their targeted performance and cost metrics. The NTG Companies are also highly dependent on having reference projects relevant for potential customers. Furthermore, large volume sales depend on customers successfully integrating the NTG Companies' products into their own products and applications, and the NTG Companies may have to change, adapt or further develop their technology in order to meet the requirements of their customers and/or to ensure integration with potential customers. As the NTG Companies' products are not yet produced at scale, there are also great uncertainties relating to future production, yields and general cost achievements. If the NTG Companies are not able to attract and retain a sufficient number of costumers, or to produce its products at scale on satisfactory costs levels, this may have a significant negative impact on the NTG Companies' ability to penetrate its targeted markets and have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position, result of operations and prospects, and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group is dependent on third-party suppliers as well as maintaining existing and attracting new partnerships

The Group is subject to third-party risks relating to, amongst others, its business partners and suppliers. In addition to maintaining its existing business partnerships, the Group is highly dependent on attracting new partners and customers in order to be successful in commercializing its products, the inability of which may have a material adverse effect on its business financial position, and future prospects, and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern without raising additional financing.

Moreover, the Group is in general dependent on the availability of equipment and components and raw-materials, and for certain of the NTG Companies, there are only a limited number of suppliers. As an example, CrayoNano AS is subject to the global shortage of semiconductors, the unavailability of which has negatively affected, and may continue to affect, the respective NTG Companies' product development, production and profit margins. Any price fluctuations, disruptions, capacity constraints or quality issues relating to the NTG Companies' suppliers may adversely affect the NTG Companies' ability to meet their commitments towards existing and future customers, which may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position, result of operation and future prospects, and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The industry and markets in which the Group operates are highly competitive and may be subject to rapid changes

The industry in which the Group operates, specifically within sensor technology, nanomaterials technology and clean-technology, is highly competitive. To succeed, the Group is dependent on being able to develop and maintain long-term technological advantages compared to other players operating in the same business areas as the Group. Many competitors of the Group may have significantly greater resources compared to the resources of the Group. The markets in which the Group operates are further subject to rapid and continuous technological changes, and developments by others may render the technologies and business models of the Group obsolete or noncompetitive, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's operations, financial condition and future prospects, and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group's business has an international scope which involves several jurisdictions and depends on stable political situations and regulations

The NTG Companies' business operations involves several jurisdictions including inter alia, Hammertech's ongoing operations in the Middle-Eastern countries, Wavetrain's engagements in the UK and CrayoNano's newly established subsidiary based in Taiwan. The Group is thereby subject to risks resulting from differing legal, political, social and regulatory requirements and economic conditions and unforeseeable developments in the jurisdictions in which it is present or exposed, including, but not limited to the risk of:

  • political instability;
  • variety of local laws and regulations (e.g. environmental laws and anti-bribery and anti-corruption laws) and unexpected changes in regulatory environments;
  • international sanctions and other trade restrictions;
  • differing economic cycles and adverse economic conditions;
  • varying tax and import duty regimes, including with respect to the imposition of withholding taxes on remittances and other payments;
  • inability to collect payments or seek recourse under or comply with ambiguous or vague commercial or other laws;
  • differing permitting and licensing regimes, which may make it difficult to ensure maintenance of all appropriate permits and licenses in every country the Group operates in;
  • armed conflicts in the regions in which the Group operates; and
  • acts of terrorism and military actions in response to such acts.

If any of these risks where to materialize, it may cause a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position and future prospects, and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Risk related to litigation, disputes and claims

The Group may in the future be involved from time to time in commercial or legal disagreements, litigation and disputes. The Group operates within a legal and regulatory environment that exposes and subjects it to risks of litigation and disputes including personal injury litigation, intellectual property litigation, contractual litigation, tax or securities litigation, as well as other litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business. The Group cannot predict with certainty the outcome or effect of any future disagreement, dispute or litigation involving the Group. The ultimate outcome of any disagreement, dispute or litigation, and the potential costs, time and management focus associated with prosecuting or defending such, could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business and financial condition. In addition, the Group might suffer economic and/or reputational damage from involvement in claims or disputes, which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, financial position and profits, and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, as well as lead to the deterioration of existing customer relationships and the Group's ability to attract new customers.

Risks related to epidemics or pandemic outbreaks, including Covid-19

Epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, including the Covid-19 pandemic has, and may continue to have a severe impact on businesses and markets globally, in particular with respect to the supply chain and access to raw materials and technological parts. It is expected that the outbreak of epidemics and pandemics in the future may result in more uncertain markets, operations becoming more vulnerable to interruptions and policy makers around the world may gravitate towards stricter regulations impacting international trade. Such consequences will likely also impact the Group and its current and planned operations and projects – as well as customers, suppliers of goods and services - including the Company's ability to raise capital or secure financing, customers' ability to buy the Group's products, and contractors' ability to provide goods and services required for the Group's projects at the agreed terms, or at all. Any future epidemic or pandemic outbreaks are beyond the Company's and the Group's control and it is no assurance that any future outbreak of contagious diseases occurring in areas in which the Group or its suppliers, partners or customers operate, or even in areas in which the Group does not operate, will not seriously interrupt the Group's business.

Risks related to personal data

The Group collects and processes personal data through its business and operations. This makes the Group exposed to data protection and data privacy laws and regulations it must comply with, which all imposes stringent data protection requirements and provides high possible penalties for non-compliance. The main regulations applicable to the Group are the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (the "GDPR") in the European Economic Are (the "EEA"), local data protection laws such as the Norwegian Data Protection Act of 2018. The company and/or certain of the group companies may need to implement additional measures or update its existing routines and policies in order to ensure compliance with applicable data protection regulation.

Any failure to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to comply with the data protection legislation privacy-related obligations to employees, customers or third parties, privacy-related legal obligations, or any personal data breaches such as unauthorized releases that results in an unauthorized release, transfer or use of personally identifiable information or other customer data, may result in administrative fines and governmental enforcement actions, litigation or public statements against the Group. In addition to legal sanctions, any such failure could represent a reputational risk with regard to customers and vendors losing their trust in the Group. Any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry practices regarding the processing of personal data could increase the Group's costs and require the Group to modify its services and features, which the Group may be unable to complete and may limit its ability to process user data or develop new services and features.

1.3 Risks related to the Shares and the admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo

The Company will incur increased costs as being a publicly traded company

As a publicly traded company with Shares admitted to trading on Euronext Growth, the Company will be required to comply with Euronext Growth's reporting and disclosure requirements. The Company will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses to comply with these and other applicable rules and regulations, including hiring additional personnel. The Company anticipates that its incremental general and administrative expenses as a

publicly traded company will include, among other things, costs associated with annual and interim reports to shareholders, shareholders' meetings, investor relations, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs and officer and director compensation. Any such increased costs, individually or in the aggregate, could become significant.

An active trading market may not develop and the Shares may be difficult to sell in the secondary market

Although the Shares in the Company are freely transferable and will be admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo, investors must expect that it may be difficult to sell the Shares in the secondary market. Prior to the expected admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo, the Shares have not been traded on any stock exchange, other regulated marketplaces or multilateral trading facilities and, accordingly there has been no public market for the Shares. If an active public market does not develop or is not maintained, shareholders may have difficulty with selling their Shares. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that such a market will be sustained at a certain price level. Because of the structure of the Private Placement, the Company may have shareholders that will not be able to trade in the Shares in a period following the Company's admission to trading, which could have a negative effect on the short-term liquidity of the Shares following their admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo. The Company cannot predict at what price the Shares will trade upon following the admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo, and the market value of the Shares can be substantially affected by the extent to which a secondary market develops for the Shares following the admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo.

The price of the Shares may fluctuate significantly

The trading price of the Shares could fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors beyond the Company's control, including interim variations in operating results, adverse business developments, changes in financial estimates and investment recommendations or ratings by securities analysts, share price fluctuations affecting the NTG Companies, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic relationships, publicity about the Company, its products and services or its competitors, lawsuits against the Company, unforeseen liabilities, changes to the regulatory environment in which it operates or general market conditions. In recent years, the global stock market has, at times, experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies. These changes may occur without regard to the operating performance of these companies. The price of the Shares may therefore fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with the Company, and these fluctuations may materially affect the price of its Shares.

Future issuances of Shares or other securities could dilute the holdings of shareholders and could materially affect the trading price of the Shares

The Company may in the future decide to offer additional Shares or other securities in order to finance new capitalintensive projects, in connection with unanticipated liabilities or expenses or for any other purposes. The Company cannot predict what effect, if any, future issuances and sales of Shares will have on the price of the Shares (particularly following the admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo). Furthermore, depending on the structure of any future offering, existing shareholders may not have the ability to subscribe for or purchase additional equity securities. If the Company raises additional funds by issuing additional equity securities, this may result in a significant dilution of the existing shareholders, including in relation to dividends, shareholding percentages and voting rights.

Financial reporting and other company law requirements

The Company will, as a result of an admission to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo, become subject to reporting and other obligations under applicable law. These reporting and other obligations will place significant demands on the Company's management, administrative, operational and accounting resources.

Any failure of the Company to maintain effective internal controls could cause the inability of the Company to meet its reporting obligations or result in material misstatements in its financial statements. If the Company cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, its reputation and operating results could be materially harmed which could also cause investors to lose confidence in the Company's reported financial information, which could result in a reduction in the trading price of the Shares.

Management does not expect that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to the inherent limitations in any control systems, no evaluation of these controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues within an organization are detected. The inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of certain persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. Due to the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be detected in a timely manner or at all.

The value of the Shares could for foreign investors be adversely affected by exchange rate fluctuations

The Shares on Euronext Growth Oslo will be priced in NOK, and any future payments of dividends on the Shares will be made in NOK. Investors registered in the VPS who have not supplied the VPS with details of their bank account, will not receive payment of dividends unless they register their bank account details with the VPS Registrar. The exchange rate(s) that is applied when denominating any future payments of dividends to the relevant investor's currency will be the VPS Registrar's exchange rate on the payment date. Exchange rate movements of NOK will therefore affect the value of these dividends and distributions for investors whose principal currency is not NOK. Further, the market value of the Shares as expressed in foreign currencies will fluctuate in part as a result of foreign exchange fluctuations. This could affect the value of the Shares and of any dividends paid on the Shares for an investor whose principal currency is not NOK.

Shareholders may not be able to exercise their voting rights for Shares registered on a nominee account

Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered on a nominee account or otherwise through a nominee arrangement (such as brokers, dealers or other third parties) may not be able to exercise voting rights and other shareholders rights as readily as shareholders whose Shares are registered in their own names with the VPS prior to the Company's general meetings. The Company cannot guarantee that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice for the Company's general meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a reregistration of their Shares or otherwise vote for their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners. Any persons that hold their Shares through a nominee arrangement should consult the nominee to ensure that any Shares beneficially held are voted for in the manner desired by such beneficial owner.

The transfer of Shares is subject to restrictions under the securities laws of the United States and other jurisdictions

None of the Shares have been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any U.S. state securities laws or any other jurisdiction outside of Norway, and are not expected to be registered in the future. As such, the Shares may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. In addition, there is no assurance that shareholders residing or domiciled in the United States will be able to participate in future capital increases or right offerings.

Shareholders' ability to bring an action against the Company may be limited by Norwegian law

The shareholders' rights are governed by Norwegian law and by the Articles of Association. Such rights may differ from the rights of shareholders in other jurisdictions. In particular, Norwegian law limits the circumstances under which shareholders of Norwegian companies may bring derivative actions. Under Norwegian law, any action brought by the Company in respect of wrongful acts committed against the Company will be prioritized over actions brought by shareholders claiming compensation in respect of such acts. In addition, it could be difficult to prevail in a claim against the Company under, or to enforce liabilities predicated upon, securities laws in other jurisdictions.

3.2 Presentation of financial and other information

3.2.1 Financial information

The Company was established on 17 February 2021 and registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises on 15 March 2021. The Company has prepared financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 (the "Company Financial Statements"). The Company Financial Statements have been prepared in conformity with the Accounting Act and NRS 8 - Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("NGAAP") for small companies and have been audited by the Company's independent auditor, KPMG AS.

The audit report for the Company Financial Statements does not include any qualifications or emphasis of matter except for an emphasis of matter related to going concern, as the commercialization and growth strategies for certain of the Group companies require additional funding depending on future cash flows.

The Company Financial Statements and the audit report from KPMG AS are included as Appendix C to this Information Document.

Subsequent to the Transaction and the Minority Offers (as further described under section 9.1 "Details on the Transaction and establishment of the Group"), the Group presents its consolidated financial statements in NOK (presentation currency). Reference is made to Section 6 "Selected financial information" for further information.

3.2.2 Pro forma financial information

On 1 July 2022, the Company acquired the shareholdings of its current subsidiaries and Associated Companies (the NTG Companies), which includes Wavetrain Systems AS, Hammertech AS, Hybrid Energy AS and its subsidiary Hystorsys AS, MossHydro AS, CondAlign AS and CrayoNano AS, thereby establishing the current structure of the Group. 1

The current Group structure was established in two steps, first through share purchase agreements between the Company and certain sellers of shareholdings in the NTG Companies (the "Transaction") and, second, through offers by the Company to minority shareholders in each of Wavetrain Systems AS, Hammertech AS, Hybrid Energy AS and MossHydro AS to acquire shares in such companies for the same share price as in the Transaction (the "Minority Offers"). For further information about the Transaction and the Minority Offers, please see Section 9.1 "Details of the Transaction and the establishment of the Group" and 9.2 "Details on the Minority Offer", respectively.

In addition to the Company Financial Statements, the Company has prepared unaudited pro forma condensed financial information (the "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information") in this Information Document to illustrate how the Transaction and Minority Offers could have affected the Group's income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 as if the Transaction and the Minority Offers had been carried out on 1 January 2021 as well as the Group's statement of financial position as of 31 December 2021 as if the Transaction and the Minority Offers had been carried out on 31 December 2021, see Section 7.2 "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information".

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the Group's income statement and statement of financial position would have been had the Transaction and the Minority Offers occurred at the relevant dates.

With respect to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information included in this information document, KPMG applied assurance procedures in Accordance with ISAE 3420 "Assurance Engagement to Report Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus" in order to express an opinion as to

1 CondAlign AS has a wholly owned subsidiary, CondAlign Capture AS, and Wavetrain Systems AS has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Wavetrain Systems Ltd and Wavetrain Systems Ltd Pty, subsidiaries which have limited to no operations as of the date of this Information Document.

whether the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been properly compiled on the basis stated, and that such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Group. KPMG has issued an independent assurance report on the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information included in Appendix B to this Information Document.

See Section 7.2.3 "Basis for preparation" below for further information about the basis of preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.

5.5 Principal activities

5.5.1 Overview

The Group operates within the technology industry, focusing on accelerating and maximizing value of disrupting technology innovations. The Group's highly experienced team applies its strategy to utilize high-quality growth potential on the backbone of technology innovations with ESG strengths. While the Group's business activities all concern disruptive technology enhancing sustainability, the business can be divided into three technology segments:

As an industrial technology company, NTG's business model involves utilizing synergies within and across each of its dedicated technology segments, thereby accelerating business development and growth from concept to realization.

5.5.2 Sensor technology

General

Sensor technology represents a significant business area of NTG, constituting about 50% of the Group's estimated values calculated in assets. The sensor technology sector has over the recent years experienced innovation, while decreased costs have enabled new solutions and business models. NTG seeks to furnish these industry trends through Hammertech AS ("Hammertech"), which offers devices with meters measuring multiphase and salinity functions for the oil & gas industry, and Wavetrain Systems AS (Wavetrain), a producer and supplier of acoustic sensors to the railway industry. Both Hammertech and Wavetrain have well-tested and patented sensor technology providing technological solutions to burdensome and costly industry and society challenges.

Hammertech

Hammertech was established in Bergen in October 2009 and offers solutions for active oil & gas reservoir management, reducing undesired well water production, consequently enabling a significant reduction in both operational cost and emissions related to oil well operations. Hammertech's platform for real-time well datameasurement is delivered through AquaField, being the company's first commercialized product. AquaField is a low maintenance, low-cost solution gathering accurate and reliable online data from the well-level. AquaField represents a significant breakthrough for the oil and gas industry, as undesired water production constitutes 10% to 30% of the costs of well operations, based on Company estimates, and is also a major factor in driving up the carbon footprint, due to energy consumption from water treatment plants and water re-injection operations.

The AquaField Water Fraction and Salinity Meter provides direct, robust, and cost-efficient water fraction and water salinity detection topside. The technology behind the AquaField's measurement principle is called the High Frequency Magnetic Field Technique (HFMFT) – a variant of the eddy current measurement technique where an eddy current creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the magnetic field that created it. The eddy currents then react back on the source of the magnetic field (Lenz's law). When a conductor – in this case the water – is exposed to a varying magnetic field, eddy currents are induced in the water. These eddy currents induce a

magnetic field which opposes the original field and power is lost, due to the eddy currents in the water but only in the water portion of the multiphase flow. The loss of power is proportional to the water content, with large amounts of water resulting in large amounts of energy loss and small amounts of water resulting in small amounts of energy loss. The salinity of the water will also affect the energy loss. The AquaField then measures the water salinity and differentiates between energy loss caused by the amount of water or energy loss caused by the different levels of salinity. Salinity is then calculated for the water in multiphase flow based on the measured complex permittivity of the water.

To date, all tests of the AquaField have demonstrated uncertainty specifications of water fraction at ± five per cent (with recent tests showing closer to ± three per cent) and salinity at ± 0.5 S/m. The result for the operator is a complete overview of the field through the online trending of water content in multiphase flow. By measuring water fractions, the operator can trend the water level, and if there are no changes (or a slight steady increase), they can be confident that the well is stable and producing as expected. In such cases, expensive well testing crews would not be required. As soon as there is a change in the water level (as detected by the AquaField) the operator can dispatch a well testing crew to investigate, instantly pinpointing problematic wells (such as when there is excessive water production from the wellhead) and instigating immediate remedial action. Furthermore, since the AquaField also detects the salinity of the water, the operator can identify if the water production is a result of the volume of water injection. This is because the salinity of the injected water and the produced water is different. The result is online, real-time measurement at the wellhead; real-time water salinity trending; the immediate identification of water breakthrough; and a pre-empting of the danger of separator water flooding. A conserve estimate is an increase of 0.5% per cent in production from the AquaField, providing a significant impact on investment returns from often mature assets.

Another key benefit of the AquaField is reduced CAPEX and OPEX as well as ease of deployment. The costs of the AquaField are equal to just two to three well tests, providing the operator with the ability to have online water fraction and salinity detection capabilities on each production well. Well test savings combined with increased oil production can thereby result in significant added value for oil producers. The lightweight simple, non-intrusive 'plug and play' design of the AquaField is also significantly more cost-effective compared to complex multiphase meter deployments. According to the Company's estimates, replacing an installation of a multiphase meter per well on a five-well configuration, with an installation of a combination of one AquaField per well and a multiphase meter on the manifold can lead to savings of up to USD 500,000. For a typical field with 50 wells using this configuration, the savings can be more than USD 5 million – all simply down to replacing technologies. Furthermore, the fact that the meter is not dependent on pressure, volume, temperature data, does not include radioactive elements, and has no moving parts ensures low maintenance, lower regulatory hurdles and no time consuming and expensive requirements for calibration.

The AquaField prototype was first tested by certain industry leaders such in 2017, deployed in Alaska in 2018 and Oman in 2020. AquaField is in the introductory phase of the product lifecycle, ready for commercial penetration. Hammertech has shipped several units on try-and-buy terms and on that basis received product orders. Hammertech has also together with Yokogawa Electric Corporation engaged a strategic cooperation to further accelerate market penetration by combining AquaField and Yokogawa equipment in selected markets in the middleeast. Hammertech is also working on a collaboration project with Aker BP to tailor the Aqua Field to Aker BP's preferred off-shore applications. While certain of Hammertech's target markets year-to-date have been challenged by the Covid-19 pandemic, Hammertech sees significant interests from a base of potential customers, which it have worked actively with over a two-to-three-year period, and Hammertech is positioning to meet increased customer demands supported by improving market developments.

Hammertech is working on a further development of its AquaField into a multiphase meter that can also measure the volume of gas and oil-flow. Subject to further development and testing, Hammertech believes such transition may be done through an upgrade of software, providing additional applications to Hammertech's existing and tested product design and hardware technologies.

The Company's overall goal for Hammertech is to become a dominant supplier in the market for well measurement solutions world-wide by suppling thousands of AquaField Fraction and Salinity Meters to the oil and gas industry.

Wavetrain

Wavetrain Systems was founded in August 2009 after significant research and development conducted by NORSAR, a research foundation specializing in software solutions and research activities within applied seismology. Wavetrain, provides its sensor technology to railway infrastructure owners, enabling train detection through its product, the Level Crossing Warning System ("LCWS"). By using acoustic sensors attached to the rail head, the LCWS is able to interpret sound-wave signals generated by approaching trains to warn passers at level crossings of approaching trains. The LCWS uses proprietary signal processing algorithms to detect and warn of approaching trains through integration with the customer's preferred warning measures.

The LCWS is UK type approved for both single and double-track level crossings and cover both one- and bidirectional train traffic. The LCWS is installed in a day by two installers without service interruption. It is installed at the level crossing without lengthy cabling, common to conventional systems. This secures shorter installation- and commissioning-times and reduced life-cycle cost compared to its conventional competitors. The LCWS is autonomous, and independent of the signaling infrastructure. The system retains required data for potential

unwanted events at the railway crossing and has an accepted communication through mobile networks for maintenance messages.

The Company estimates that more than 50% of level crossings are passive and unprotected, with only signage telling the passer to protect him/her-self. The LCWS is positioned to fill the gap where conventional systems are too expensive, or include too much service interruption to be feasible.

The LCWS is fully automatic, and retain system logs as required, which can be retrieved for potential analysis by the customers or regulatory authorities. The LCWS uses passive sensors for its operation. The rail infrastructure related to signaling, track circuits, third rail or overhead electrification are not interfered with or influenced by the operation of the LCWS.

Complying with the requirements of the railway industry includes adherence to several international and national standards and process requirements. Wavetrain and its operations are European Committee for Electro-technical Standardization ("CENELEC"), IEC and ISO certified. Wavetrain achieved its first CENELEC SIL2 certification in 2015 and many improvements and updates to retain these certifications have been achieved. Recent national Product Type Approval from Network Rail in the UK (the "PTA") crowns the effort to open the market for Wavetrain and its product.

Wavetrain Systems comply with regulatory and customer requirements through comprehensive and varied standards. Design for Reliability (DfR), environmental standards, user requirements and regulatory needs are being met through the listed certifications:

  • CENELEC SIL2 certified since 2015
  • ISO 9001 certified since 2015. Quality accreditation.
  • ISO 14001 certified since 2017. Environmental accreditation.
  • ISO 45001 certified since 2020. Occupational Health and Safety Management accreditation.
  • ISO 27001 certified since 2021. Information Security Management accreditation.

Wavetrain and Network Rail is in a sound and long-term collaboration to secure unprotected level crossings. Additional type approvals for various level crossing configurations may however be needed in order to become fully implemented to the Network Rail system.

Following Wavetrain's recent PTA, the company targets to attract customer orders for 44 Level Crossing Warning Systems of which 38 with sounding and light functions, within the next twelve months and is expected to require NOK 17.5 million in additional financing during the same period. Wavetrain currently has 20 operative systems in stock and fully expensed. Although such targeted sales would represent a significant improvement to historical sales, the Company believes its target to be realistic to achieve, based on its recent PTA for SIL 2 Level Crossings, from the operator Network Rail in the UK. The Company's assessment is that a realistic market for Wavetrain in the UK alone is NOK 1-3 billion over a 5-7 year period, which is in turn is based on a conservative analysis of Network Rail's demand for level crossing warning systems, combined with a promising dialogue with Network Rail. Wavetrain's product, including installation and operation, has a lower price than the SIL 3 and 4 systems built on older technology and it takes several years to achieve a PTA in the UK. The Company views Network Rail's type approval of the SIL 2 to indicate a near rollout of Wavetrain's system in the UK. In the Company' view, the incentives, budgets, approvals and need to buy Wavetrain's product are now available in the UK. The Company thus regard that the number of sold units projected is realistic, while taking into account that systems must be re-tested by the routes, the system must be calibrated at each location and the needs and orders must be processed in a responsible manner, which has led the Company not to set more ambitious sales projections. The Company also believes that other markets will emphasize the PTA in the UK, which may be used as basis for cross-acceptance and open up other geographical markets for Wavetrain's LCWS.

New digitized services and infrastructure integrations has led to renewed interest in innovation, in which the Company believes Wavetrain to have an advantageous position, inter alia by leveraging on its technology's many applications, accelerated by ongoing exertive infrastructure changes. A project which Wavetrain has targeted on a longer term-basis is to utilize its applied patents for broken rail detection, which, if successful, would open up an extensive new market for Wavetrain's technology offering.

Hybrid Energy's product portfolio consists of three standardized, third generation hybrid heat pump units. In addition, the company offers tailor made solutions for demanding circumstances. All heat pumps use a 100% natural working medium (water/ammonia mixture), with a global warming potential (GWP) and an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero. The working medium has the flexibility to adapt to different temperatures, also after commissioning.

Hybrid Energy has a specific gas/liquid distribution system which enables its high-temperature heat pumps to reach up to 120oC at energy savings of 60% - 90% compared to traditional heating pumps. With 23 industrial systems already installed and more than 600,000 hours of continuous and sound operation, the Company believes that the heat-pumps of Hybrid Energy has a proven market advantage with payback in only two to four years. Customers of Hybrid Energy include, amongst others, Tine Meierier (Norway) Engie Axima (France) and Arla (Denmark). The net-energy savings by its already installed heat-pumps is estimated to 550GWh. Being the only fully integrated supplier of patented high-temperature, low-pressure heat-pump technology with only water and ammonia as active ingredients, the Company believes Hybrid Energy has a clear front-runner key-position in the green shift market for industrial energy consumption.

The EU Climate Actions with the Green Deal and increasing gas prices create a fast-growing demand for industrial heat pumps. Hybrid Energy sees an increasing number of inquiries that it anticipates will have a positive effect on the order intake in the mid-term.

Hybrid Energy is working on the launch of its new product application which is expected to increase the effect of its heat pumps and increasing its coefficient of performance (CoP), resulting in higher savings for customers. Its current focus on additional streamlining of suppliers and product design is further expected to strengthen Hybrid Energy's competitiveness in a target market subject to rapid growth.

In December 2021, Hybrid Energy acquired Hystorsys as a fully owned subsidiary and is working closely with Hystorsys inter alia with product development, sales and marketing. On 15 June 2022, Hybrid Energy entered into an agreement with Kongsberg Kommunale Eiendom KF ("KKE"), applying joint Hybrid and Hystorsys' technologies, as further described directly below.

A US industrial player has approached the board of Hybrid Energy to discuss a contemplated acquisition of the shares in Hybrid Energy AS (excl. Hystorsys) based on an EV of USD 8 million to 11 million and subject to satisfactory completion of a due diligence and final agreement. The Company has not entered into any negotiations relating to a sale and no communications between the parties are ongoing as of the date of this Information Document.

Hystorsys

Hystorsys was founded in 2005 as a spin-off from IFE and has developed a hydrogen metal hydride compressor (HYMEHC) with almost no moving parts, noise or vibration. The HYMEHC may be operated with very low maintenance costs and almost no energy cost by using waste heat as a source of energy. The HYMEHC standard has a range 1-12 Nm3 /h and may be scaled by design and, thus, be applied both for residential and industrial use. HYMEHC compressors use hot and cold water for the compression cycle. Typical temperature inputs are 15-25 °C (cooling) and 85-95 °C (heating). The HYMEHC can optimize energy consumption and can be applied as a key contributor to energy emission reduction.

Two HYMEHC compressors have been delivered by Hystorsys and installed as part of the residential energy storage installations in Sweden. In addition the company has delivered its HYMEHC solution to a university in England to be used in the university thermal- and hydrogen laboratory. Moreover, together with Hybrid Energy, Hystorsys has developed the seasonal energy storage solution by providing a Modular Metal Hydride Hydrogen Storage System. The system is based on a solid-state metal hydride technology and provides safe and compact hydrogen storage at low pressures. It is suitable for stationary energy storage systems in a combination with onsite hydrogen production and fuel cells. At pressure below 30 bar, this technology can store about the same amount of hydrogen as high pressure compressed gas storage at 1000 bar. The hydrogen storage system has been identified as a key disrupting technology for Hystorsys.

On 15 June 2022, an agreement were signed with KKE for the delivery of a hydrogen storage system with power generation from solar cells and energy wells to Vestsiden middle school, the first energy neutral school in Norway and one of the first schools in the world to use hydrogen storage. The agreement with KKE marks a break-through for Hystorsys, both in terms of its existing business and as a project for future reference.

MossHydro

Established in 2012, MossHydro offers cutting-edge mechanical filter solutions for ballast water treatment (BWT), aqua culture, fresh water production with Reverse Osmosis ("RO") and drinking water applications. MossHydro has a highly automated manufacturing capacity, in-depth skills in naval architecture, engineering, vessel operation and maintenance, ballast water treatment as well as filtration.

Ballast water treatment has to date proved challenging, without the use of strong chemicals, resulting in the pollution of seawater or the use of electrochemical processes. Filters are however a key component in most BWT systems, but field tests and operational experiences show that many filters have inadequate self-cleaning abilities, resulting in serious clogging problems, which could cause unexpected downtime, unscheduled maintenance and increased energy costs for the shipping industry.

Farming in closed facilities and transportation of Aqua cultures are challenging businesses with requirements for large volumes of clean water. Debris from the operations is subject to discharge regulations and filtration is part of the solution.

With the technology available today, the Company believes that fresh water production from sea water with RO offers the most effective and profitable solutions, with a balance between specific capacity and downstream water quality that ensures a long service life to the high-pressure pumps and RO membranes. To protect the expensive equipment a RO installation is equipped with a multi-stage filtration solution.

Municipal drinking water facilities benefit from the compact footprint of mechanical filtration as an alternative to traditional settling.

The development of MossHydro's technology solutions started in 2005 in the Netherlands, by experimenting with new filter solutions for organic retention in seawater filtration, evolving into detailed development incorporating feasibility considerations, modelling and analysis, leading to prototype development in 2010. MossHydro filed patent applications the following year and built a 3.000 m3 /hr prototype unit. The prototype was subject to tests in Gdansk, Poland, at flow rates up to 3.200 m3 /hr, crucial for developing MossHydro's BWT filter solutions, with production startup in 2012. MossHydro has since 2012 been fully operational. In 2016 MossHydro filed patent applications for a compact filter and owns patents for several filter specific inventions such as self-adjusting filter cleaning mechanism and filter element coating process for improved corrosion resistance.

MossHydro provides several types of filter solutions:

  • Single Screen Robust and reliable filters designed specifically for the challenges of Ballast Water Treatment.
  • Multi Screen Unique MossHydro patent-pending in-line multiple screen single housing, with large capacity and high quality.
  • Compact Screen with pleated filter element for increased filtration area in a pressure vessel ideal for installations with restricted footprint. Largest capacity filter in a single pressure vessel on the market. Configurable as Single screen and Multi screen applications.
  • Cartridge Screen Ultra fine filtration for multi-stage filter solutions.

The Single Screen filter is a fully automated filter, with Duplex 2205 stainless steel housing, designed for robustness and a significant lifespan. The tensile and yield strength of Duplex stainless steel is substantially higher than for conventional materials and no corrosion protection is needed. MossHydro's Duplex stainless steel housings enable weight reduction of 50-70% compared to competitors with traditional filter designs based on carbon steel. The Single Screen includes a computer and software which allows for communication with any BWTS/Vessel automation system and provides support for performance data storage.

MossHydro's Multi Screen filter is specifically manufactured for large vessels in need for significant filtering capacity. The founders of MossHydro saw the market's need to develop filters with large capacity and high quality – without compromising on functionality or reliability. MossHydro has successfully developed, manufactured and performed extensive full-scale testing of a 3.200 m3 /hr prototype filter. This has resulted in an evolution from prototype coated carbon steel housings, manually produced, to Duplex stainless steel based on automated and robotized manufacturing.

One of the most critical requirements for smooth vessel operation is cleansing of the filter, which if clogged results in a full stop of the shipping vessel. MossHydro offers the Filter Screen, a self-cleansing nozzle, allowing for easy maintenance, with no tool required, generating improved vessel performance while also providing an easy identifiable wear indicator.

MossHydro owns and operates a mobile, floating filtration laboratory. The laboratory is equipped to perform most of the physical tests typically offered from costly third-party providers. MossHydro's laboratory enables a shortcut from idea to product and reduces the cost and risk involved for innovation projects. The filter manufacturing is highly specialized and MossHydro have developed several ground breaking manufacturing methods and manufacturing equipment.

MossHydro has delivered filters to customers operating within various segments since 2014 and can show to an order book history of provided filter solutions of NOK 135 million as of year-end 2021. Including orders for delivery within July 2023, this amounts to 379 filter solutions provided by MossHydro, with year-to-date sales and confirmed orders for 2022 and the first half of 2023 forming a substantial part.

MossHydro recently launched a portfolio of turn-key, container based multi stage filtration systems. The system launch is an answer to customer demand for complete solutions as alternative to filter components and will bring additional value to the market.

5.6 NTG's Environmental, Social and Governance profile

The development and maintenance of the Group's ESG standard is an integral parts of NTG's strategy. The focus on ESG is apparent throughout the Group's business initiatives, addressing a majority of the top 10 existing global challenges according to the United Nations.2

5.15 Legal and arbitration proceedings

From time to time, the Group may become involved in litigation, disputes and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company's subsidiary, Wavetrain was in 2020 involved in a dispute with its former CEO concerning the rights to Wavetrain's European patent covering the system and method for early train detection. On 7 April 2020, the Oslo district court ruled in the favor of Wavetrain, concluding that the former CEO of Wavetrain was not to be regarded as a co-inventor of the company's train detection system and had no rights to the company's European patent regarding early train detection. The case was appealed by the opposing party and ultimately dismissed by Borgarting Court of Appeal on 16 October 2020.

Other than the dispute described above, neither the Company nor any of the NTG Companies, are, nor have been, during the course of the preceding 12 months involved in any legal, governmental or arbitration proceedings that may have, or have had in the recent past, significant effects on the Company's and/or the Group's financial position or profitability, and neither the Company nor any of the NTG Companies are aware of any such proceedings which are pending or threatened.

6. DIVIDEND AND DIVIDEND POLICY

6.1 Dividends policy

As of the date of this Information Document, the Company is in a commercialization and growth phase, and will prioritize re-investing in, and developing, the NTG Companies, in addition to pursuing acquisition opportunities. There can be no assurance that any dividend will be proposed or declared, or if proposed or declared, that the dividend will be as contemplated by any policy. In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount, the Company's Board of Directors will take into account legal restrictions, as set out in Section 6.2 " - Legal Constraints on the Distribution of Dividends", the Company's capital requirements, including capital expenditure requirements, its financial condition, general business conditions and any restrictions in borrowing arrangements or other contractual arrangements in place at the time of the dividend may place on its ability to pay dividends and the maintaining of appropriate financial flexibility.

The Company has not paid any dividends since its incorporation.

6.2 Legal and contractual constraints on the distribution of dividends

The Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act (the "Companies Act") provides several constraints on the distribution of dividends:

  • Dividend may only be distributed to the extent that the Company after the distribution has a sound equity and liquidity.
  • The Company may only distribute dividends to the extent that its net assets following the distribution are at least equal to the sum of (i) the Company's share capital, (ii) the reserve for valuation differences and (iii) the reserve for unrealised gains. In determining the distribution capacity, deductions must be made for (i) the aggregate amount of any receivables held by the Company and dating from before the balance sheet date which are secured by a pledge over Shares in the Company, (ii) any credit and collateral etc. from before the balance sheet date which according to Sections 8-7 to 8-10 of the Companies Act must not exceed the Company's distributable equity (unless such credit has been repaid or is set-off against the dividend or such collateral has been released prior to the decision to distribute the dividend), (iii) other dispositions carried out after the balance sheet date which pursuant to law must not exceed the Company's distributable equity and (iv) any amount distributed after the balance sheet date through a capital reduction.
  • The calculation of the distributable equity shall be made on the basis of the balance sheet in the Company's last approved annual accounts, provided, however, that the registered share capital as of the date of the resolution to distribute dividends shall apply. Dividends may also be distributed by the general meeting based on an interim balance sheet which has been prepared and audited in accordance with the provisions applying to the annual accounts and with a balance sheet date which does not lie further back in time than six months before the date of the general meeting's resolution.

6.3 Manner of dividends payment

Any dividends on the Shares will be denominated in NOK. Any dividends or other payments on the Shares will be paid through the Company's registrar in the VPS, DNB Bank ASA (the "VPS Registrar"). Dividends and other payments on the Shares will be paid, on a payment dated determined by the Company, to the bank account registered in connection with the VPS account of the registered shareholder as of the record date for the distribution.

Dividends and other payments on the Shares will not be paid to shareholders who have not registered a bank account with their VPS account. Shareholders who have not received dividends for this reason will receive payment if they register a bank account with their account operator in the VPS and inform the VPS Registrar of the details of such bank account.

Shareholders with a registered address outside of Norway may register a bank account in another currency than NOK with their VPS account. Shareholders who have done so will receive payment in the currency of such bank account. The exchange rate(s) applied will be the VPS Registrar's rate on the date of payment.

The Norwegian Private Limited Companies Act does not provide for any time limit after which entitlement to dividends lapses. Subject to various exceptions, Norwegian law provides a limitation period of three years from the date on which an obligation is due. Accordingly, a shareholder's right to receive dividends or other distributions will lapse three years after the payment date if bank account details have not been provided to the VPS Registrar within such date. Following the expiry of the limitation period, any remaining dividend amounts will be returned from the VPS Registrar to the Company.

7.2 Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information

7.2.1 Introduction

On 1 July 2022, the Company closed the Transaction and the Minority Offers after which the current structure of the NTG Group was established. The Transaction and the Minority Offers included acquisitions by the Company of shareholdings in the following companies with the following ownership percentages:

  • Hybrid Energy AS (96.3%)
  • Hystorsys AS (100% owned by Hybrid Energy AS)
  • MossHydro AS (89.9%)
  • Hammertech AS (87.8%)
  • Wavetrain Systems AS (83.6%)
  • CondAlign AS (50.5%)
  • CrayoNano AS (14.6%)

For further information about the acquisitions in the Transaction and the Minority Offers, see Section 9.1 "Details on the Transaction and establishment of the Group" and Section 9.2 "Details on the Minority Offer" below.

As the Company did not have any material operating activities until completion of the Transaction and the Minority Offers, the Transaction and the Minority Offers resulted in an increase of more than 25% of the Company's total assets, revenue and profit/loss. In accordance with Appendix 1, section 1 (2) of Notice 2.3 "Content requirements and checklist for information document" issued by the Oslo Stock Exchange pursuant to section 2.3 of Rule Book II for Euronext Growth Oslo, the Company has prepared the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information set forth herein.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information is prepared in compliance with the rules stipulated by Annex 20 "Pro Forma Information" to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 supplementing the EU Prospectus Regulation.

7.2.2 General information, purpose of and cautionary note regarding the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been prepared by the Company solely for illustrative purposes, only to show how the Transaction and the Minority Offers might have affected the Group's income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 as if the Transaction and the Minority Offers had occurred on 1 January 2021, as well as the Company's statement of financial position as if the Transaction and Minority Offers had occurred on 31 December 2021.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information is based on certain management assumptions and adjustments made to illustrate what the financial results of the Group might have been had the Company completed the Transaction and the Minority Offers at an earlier point in time.

Although the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information is based on estimates and assumptions based on current circumstances believed to be reasonable, actual results could materially differ from those presented herein. There is a greater degree of uncertainty associated with pro forma financial information than with historical financial information.

Because of its nature, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information included herein addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not represent the combined Group's consolidated income statement for the financial year ended 31 December 2021, or the Company's consolidated statement of financial position as of 31 December 2021, and is not representative of the results of operations or financial position for any future period.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information is prepared for illustrative purposes only. Prospective investors are cautioned against placing undue reliance on the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.

The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments applied are described in the notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information. Neither these adjustments nor the resulting Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information have been audited in accordance with Norwegian or any other generally accepted auditing standards.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information presented below does not include all of the information required for financial statements under NGAAP.

7.2.3 Basis for preparation and sources of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information comprise of the Company Financial Statements and the subsidiaries and associated companies set out below. Subsidiaries are companies in which the Group has a controlling interest. A controlling interest is normally achieved when the Group owns more than 50% of the shares in the company and is also in the position to exercise control over the company.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information is prepared such that the group of companies are presented as a single economic entity. Intercompany balances have been eliminated from the consolidated accounts.

As the party providing the consideration, the Company has been identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes. It is considered that none of the combining entities obtains control of the other combining entities, and following the Transaction, the NTG executive management team will be established. Refer to Section 9.1 "Details on the Transaction and establishment of the Group" and Section 8.3" Management" for further information.

The difference between the aggregate of the acquisition cost and the amount of any minority interest over or below the identifiable net assets are reported in the statement of financial position as goodwill or negative goodwill. Goodwill is amortized on a straight-line basis through the income statement, see note 1 in section 7.2.6.

The NGAAP accounting policies applied in preparation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information are consistent with those followed by the Company in preparation of its financial statements and additional accounting policies that previously were not relevant for the Company or the Group. Such additional accounting policies primarily relates to consolidation procedures, application of the equity method and business combinations including recognition of deferred tax and deferred tax assets due to fair value adjustments of assets. These relevant additional accounting policies are described in this section 7.2. No material GAAP differences has been identified compared with Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (NGAAP).

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been based on the Company Financial Statements for the financial year 2021, as well as the audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2021 for each of the companies in which the Company acquired shareholdings in the Transaction and the Minority Offers (i.e. both new subsidiaries and associated companies, Hybrid Energy AS and its subsidiary Hystorsys AS, CondAlign AS, Wavetrain Systems AS, MossHydro AS, Hammertech AS and CrayoNano AS), which are all prepared in accordance with NGAAP for small companies. The Company Financial Statements are included as Appendix C, while the audited financial statements for 2021 for the Group's direct and indirect subsidiaries (Hybrid Energy AS, Hystorsys AS, CondAlign AS, Wavetrain Systems AS, MossHydro AS and Hammertech AS) are included as Appendix D - I to the Information Document. The audited financial statement for 2021 for CrayoNano AS in which the Company has an ownership percentage below 50% is not attached.

The audit reports for the financial statements for the Company and the NTG Companies do not include any qualifications or emphasis of matter except for a separate paragraph on material uncertainty related to going concern in the Company, Wavetrain Systems AS and Hybrid Energy AS, as the companies' commercialization and growth strategies may require additional funding depending on future cash flows.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been prepared under the assumption of going concern.

The pro forma adjustments for the unaudited pro forma condensed income statement all have continuing impact, except for estimated transaction cost, see note 2 in section 7.2.5.

7.2.4 Independent auditor's assurance report on the compilation of pro forma financial information

Notes to the pro forma adjustments:

1. Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization of fair value adjustments of intangible and tangible assets and goodwill, following the preliminary purchase price allocation has been included for the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. The preliminary purchase price allocation is presented in note 1 to the pro forma unaudited condensed statement of financial position for the Group, section 6.2.6.

2. Transaction costs

Transactions costs are estimated to MNOK 8.5, of which MNOK 5.5 is assumed to relate to new equity raised and has been recognized directly as a reduction to other paid-in capital. The remaining MNOK 3.0 is expensed as other operating expenses in the pro forma adjustments. This pro forma adjustment is not expected to have continuing impact.

3. Tax on profit or loss

Income tax in the pro forma condensed income statement includes a pro forma adjustment of MNOK 8.5 related to the reduction of deferred tax liabilities as a consequence of taxable losses in the company financial statements and MNOK 10.8 related to reduction in deferred tax liability related to the amortization of the fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired in the business combination. These pro forma adjustments follow from the recognition of deferred tax in the fair value adjustments, as further explained in note 1 to the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position below.

Deferred tax asset related to transaction costs has not been recognized.

See note 1 to the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position below for further information and breakdown of the pro forma adjustment related to the purchase price allocation.

4. Investment in associated company

The pro forma adjustment of associated company with a loss of MNOK 11.7 is based on share of loss in associated company (loss MNOK 6.0), and net of depreciation of the fair value adjustments on identifiable assets acquired in the business combination and of the related deferred tax and goodwill (cost of MNOK 5.7).

Notes to the pro forma adjustments:

  1. The purchase price allocation

The consideration for the acquisitions of the NTG Group companies in the Transaction and Minority Offerings (acquisition price) has been used to prepare the preliminary purchase price allocation (PPA). The allocation of the acquisition price is dependent on detailed knowledge of assets, liabilities, contracts, and other facts that can only be sufficiently analyzed at a later date when the Company gets full access to NTG Group companies' assets, liabilities and accounting records after Completion. Thus, the unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared based upon a preliminary purchase price allocation. In the final PPA, fair values, deferred tax assets and liabilities and goodwill, including useful lives and depreciation methods, may differ significantly from those set out in this preliminary PPA.

The preliminary PPA is based on the balance sheet of each individual NTG Group company at 31 December 2021. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation the estimated fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, deferred tax assets and liabilities and goodwill at the acquisition date are as follows:

*** Presented in the statement of financial position as investment in Associated Companies.

Hystorsys AS is owned 100% by Hybrid Energy AS and have been presented with ownership of 96,27% equal to the Group indirect ownership.

Intellectual property rights and patents are amortized over the remaining duration period of the patents for each group company, or to a period which makes economical sense given expected future cash flow from utilizing the intellectual rights and patents. Goodwill shall be amortized in accordance with a reasonable amortization plan that reasonably reflects the expected profile of future earnings. The uncertainty increases significantly with a longer time horizon, which must be taken into account when choosing the depreciation period and depreciation method. NGAAP also requires that amortization over more than 5 years need to be justified in the notes to the financial statement. Due to the degree of uncertainty, goodwill is amortized over 5 years based on NGAAP.

Fair value adjustments in the purchase price allocation give rise to deferred tax in the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of financial position for the Group. It is inherent in the recognition of an asset that its carrying amount will be recovered in the form of economic benefits that flow to the entity in future periods. When the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its tax base, the amount of taxable economic benefits will exceed the amount that will be allowed as a deduction for tax purposes. This difference is a taxable temporary difference and the obligation to pay the resulting income taxes in future periods is a deferred tax liability.

As the entity recovers the carrying amount of the asset, the taxable temporary difference will reverse and the entity will have taxable profit. This makes it probable that economic benefits will flow from the entity in the form of tax payments. The NTG Group companies have significant tax reducing temporary differences at 31 December 2021. Except for Hammertech AS and MossHydro AS, the Group companies have not recognized the corresponding deferred tax assets prior to the business combinations. The recognition of assets related to the NTG Group companies above the tax bases consequently give rise to recognition of deferred tax assets up to the amount of deferred tax liabilities recognized related to each company. Both recognized and previously unrecognized deferred tax assets at 31 December 2021 have been netted against the calculated deferred tax liability from the fair value adjustments in the purchase price allocation. In the Group companies with a calculated net deferred tax asset (applies to Hybrid Energy AS and Hystorsys AS), no net deferred tax asset has been recognized in the purchase price allocation due to uncertainty related to future taxable profits.

For the income statement, the net deferred tax recognized in the preliminary purchase price allocation is recognized to income in the pro forma adjustments in line with amortization of the fair value adjustments.

Amortization of, and related change in deferred tax from the preliminary fair value adjustments in the purchase price allocation in the income statement is as follows:

Hammertech AS

Development and performance of business 2020 and 2021

Since the main markets for Hammertech products are in the Middle East and North America, the Covid-19 pandemic travel ban had severe impact on Hammertech business development in this period. Consequently, Hammertech had negative operating results in 2020 and 2021 and were financed partly through convertible loans which were converted in 2021, use of an overdraft facility with DNB and through public grants. Hammertech's revenues for 2020 related to consultancy services provided, while product sales contributed to an increase during 2021. Other operating income for both 2020 and 2021 related to historical public grants, which were recognized in the balance sheet as deferred income and with future depreciations. Main costs were related to depreciation of intangible assets and employee related costs.

Financial developments in 2022

Hammertech has financed its operations through convertible loans of NOK 11 million, a short-term loan from Såkorninvest II AS of NOK 3.5 million and has drawn on its NOK 10 million overdraft facility. Hammertech has delivered four AquaField units to one costumer for a sum of NOK 1.4 million, and has started invoicing AkerBP (NOK 0.4 million) for a customized AquaField unit for delivery late 2022.

Wavetrain had no significant income during these two years, as the above TPA was assessed to be required for any volume sales to be made.

In 2021 capitalized development cost amounted to NOK 8.9 million of which NOK 1.7 million is subject to reimbursement by SkatteFUNN in the fourth quarter of 2022.

In 2020, the company had interest bearing convertible loans, which were converted to equity at the turn of the year 2020-21.

In December 2021, Hybrid Energy acquired all shares in Hystorsys and in October 2021 convertible loans of NOK 18.6 million were converted to equity. Through the acquisition of Hystorsys, Hybrid Energy is expected to qualify for additional public grants and other growth company financing arrangements. Hybrid Energy was negatively affected by the Covid-19 pandemic in both 2020 and 2021. Late 2021, the company initiated a cost reduction program, focusing on product standardization and improvements, ended its engagements of consultants, and signed a lease for new offices in order to reduce costs.

MossHydro AS

Development and performance of business 2020 and 2021

MossHydro had positive operating results both in 2020 and 2021.

In 2020, the Company hired additional personnel which led to an increase in personnel costs. Otherwise there were no significant changes in the company's operational expenditures in 2021, by comparison to 2020.

7.4 Auditor's emphasis relating to going concern

The auditor's reports to the Company Financial Statements and the auditor's reports for Wavetrain and Hybrid Energy's audited financial statement for the year ended 31 December 2021 included emphasis of matter relating to going concern. These were made in relation to the uncertainties surrounding liquidity that existed at the date of the auditor's reports, on 9 June 2022.

Two relevant events have occurred after the date of the auditor's reports: 1) The Company raised NOK 102 million in the Private Placement, and 2) the overdraft facilities of Hybrid Energy AS, Wavetrain Systems AS, and Hammertech AS are subject to customary annual review by DNB (lender), which periods have been confirmed extended, the new date of review has been set to 31 July 2022.

On the uncertainties for NTG on 9 June 2022: It was known that the Company would undertake a guarantee commitment of maximum NOK 52 million, in which NOK 32 million relate to drawn up overdraft facilities of Hybrid Energy AS, Wavetrain Systems AS, and Hammertech AS, without the proceeds from the Private Placement having been concluded. There were also uncertainties related to the Group's future contracts.

Wavetrain will, based on its current forecast, including assumptions for award of contracts, have a capital requirement of NOK 17.5 million over the next 12 months. The capital requirement will have to be covered, either by capital contributions from shareholders (including the Company), through dividend payments from other Group companies or a combination, or by external financing in the form of equity or debt that Wavetrain Systems AS itself obtains, or a combination as these. The Company has not undertaken any obligation to cover the capital requirement in Wavetrain.

Hybrid Energy (including Hystorsys) has budgeted for the award of certain key-contracts, one of which is the contract with Kongsberg Kommunale Eiendom KF (KKE). The auditors' emphasis reflects that there were significant risks associated with these contracts that were budgeted but not awarded, in particular related to timing. The contract with KKE was signed on 16 June 2022, which is in accordance with budgets and is expected to contribute to a substantial part of revenues for Hybrid Energy, including Hystorsys.

8.4 Board committees

The Company does not currently have any board committees. The Company is not obliged to have an audit committee under the Companies Act.

8.5 Arrangements for involving employees in the capital of the Company

The Company's CEO, Rune Rinnan, plans to establish a Management share incentive arrangement whereby the members of the Company's Management will be invited to acquire Shares in the Company through a joint holding company, NTG Manco AS. As of the date of the Information Document, NTG Manco AS holds 7,080,000 shares in the Company, representing approx. 10% of the total outstanding shares. The ownership in NTG Manco AS is expected to become subject to a shareholders' agreement between the participating members of the Management and NTG Manco AS. The Shares held by NTG Manco AS are also subject to a lock-up period of 12 months, see Section 9.3.5 "Lock-up" below.

As part of the arrangement, NTG Manco AS has undertaken to pay to the Company any proceeds received by NTG Manco AS on the Shares held in the Company resulting from sales proceeds up until a price per Share equal to the subscription price in the Private Placement (the "Initial NTG value"). NTG Manco AS will not receive any proceeds or have any payment obligations if a Share is sold at or below the Initial NTG value, i.e. limited down-side risk. Any sale proceeds received by NTG Manco AS above the Initial NTG value may be disposed by NTG Manco AS at its own discretion, subject to the terms of the contemplated shareholders' agreement for NTG Manco AS and the abovementioned lock-up restriction.

As of the date of this Information Document, NTG Manco AS is controlled by the Company's CEO, Rune Rinnan through his indirect shareholding in Televenture Capital AS. In conjunction with the admission, participating members of the Management will be offered to acquire shares in NTG Manco AS from Televenture Capital AS, but Televenture Capital AS is expected to remain in control of NTG Manco AS both on a shareholder level and on a voting level (of which the latter will be further determined in the shareholders agreement of NTG Manco AS).

Other than the above, the Group does not have or plan to establish any arrangements for involving employees in the share capital of the Company.

9.1.2 Consideration

The aggregate consideration payable by the Company to the Sellers in connection with the Transaction was NOK 531,691,588, which was settled as follows:

  • (ii) NOK 25,354,212 was settled by way of seller credits granted by the NIK Funds to the Company (the "Seller Credit"), to be settled by way of cash consideration following the Private Placement; and

9.1.3 Related party agreements in connection with the Transaction

As described above, the Fund Managers Consideration Shares and the Seller Credits are partial payments of a management bonus payable by NIK II and III to the NIK Fund Managers.

The Transaction (i.e. agreements with the NIK Funds) are defined as related party agreements under IAS24 due to Rune Rinnan's position as chairman and CEO of the Company and in the NIK Funds.14 More specifically, the Company was set up to serve as a transaction vehicle and listed entity in the Acquisitions, and Mr. Rinnan is thus currently (and up to the date of the Listing) the Chairman and ultimate shareholder (prior to issuance of the Consideration Shares and Private Placement Shares).

Moreover, the Company's chairman of the board, Henrik Christensen, is also the chairman of the board of each of the NIK Funds, while board member Georg Espe serves as the board member of each of the NIK Funds and board member Konstantinos Koutsoumpelis serves as the board member of NIK I. Lastly, RR Capital AS is a company wholly owned by the Company's CEO, Rune Rinnan, who is a part of the Transaction as one of the sellers of MossHydro AS.

Based on the relative valuation of the Group companies and NTG at the time of the Private Placement, the total value of the Transaction and the Minority Offer was approx. NOK 689.4 million. Consequently, of the total transaction (i.e. the Acquisitions and the Minority Offers), approx. 72% were with the NIK Funds.

Hybrid Energy has entered into a loan agreement with one of the NIK Fund Managers, Televenture Management XII AS of NOK 8 million with an interest rate of 3.31% per annum. The loan will be settled by use of cash proceeds from the Transaction.

10.5 Shareholder rights

The Company has one class of Shares in issue and all Shares provide equal rights in the Company, including the rights to any dividends. Each of the Company's Shares carries one vote. The rights attached to the Shares are further described in Section 10.6 "The Articles of Association".

10.6 Articles of Association

The Articles of Association as they read at the date of the Information Document are enclosed as Appendix A to the Information Document. Below is a summary of provisions of the Articles of Association as of the date of this Information Document.

property rights, including sensor and nanotechnology, as well as
anything related thereto. The purpose may also be pursued through the
ownership of other entities.

Documents regarding matters that shall be considered at a general
meeting which have been made available on the Company's website may
not be distributed to the shareholders in writing, by the decision of the
board, if not demanded by a shareholder. This also apply to attachments
to the notice of general meetings.

10.7 Takeover bids and forced transfer of shares

The Company is not subject to the takeover regulations set out in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, or otherwise. The Shares are, however, subject to the provisions on compulsory transfer of shares as set out in the Private Limited Liability Companies Act. If a private limited liability company alone, or through subsidiaries, owns 9/10 or more of the shares in the subsidiary, and may exercise a corresponding part of the votes that may be cast in the general meeting, the board of directors of the parent company may resolve that the parent company shall take over the remaining shares in the company. Each of the other shareholders in the subsidiary have the right to require the parent company to take over the shares. The parent company shall give the shareholders a redemption offer pursuant to the provisions of the Companies Act. The redemption amount will in the absence of agreement or acceptance of the offer be fixed by a discretionary valuation.

10.8 Certain aspects of Norwegian corporate law

10.8.1 General meetings

Through the general meeting, shareholders exercise supreme authority in a Norwegian company. In accordance with Norwegian law, the annual general meeting of shareholders is required to be held each year on or prior to 30 June. Norwegian law requires that a written notice of annual general meetings setting forth the time of, the venue for and the agenda of the meeting is sent to all shareholders with a known address no later than seven days before the annual general meeting of a Norwegian private limited liability company shall be held, unless the articles of association stipulate a longer deadline, which is not currently the case for the Company.

A shareholder may vote at the general meeting either in person or by proxy (the proxy holder is appointed at their own discretion). All of the Company's shareholders who are registered in the shareholders' register kept and maintained with VPS as of the date of the general meeting, or who otherwise have reported and documented ownership of Shares in the Company, are entitled to participate at general meetings, without any requirement of pre-registration.

Apart from the annual general meeting, extraordinary general meetings of shareholders may be held if the board of directors considers it necessary. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders shall also be convened if, in order to discuss a specified matter, the auditor or shareholders representing at least 10% of the share capital demands such in writing. The requirements for notice and admission to the annual general meeting also apply to extraordinary general meetings.

10.8.2 Voting rights

Each Share carries one vote. In general, decisions shareholders are entitled to make under Norwegian law or the articles of association may be made by a simple majority of the votes cast. In the case of elections or appointments (e.g. to the board of directors), the person(s) who receive(s) the greatest number of votes cast is elected. However, as required under Norwegian law, certain decisions, including resolutions to waive preferential rights to subscribe for shares in connection with any share issue in the Company, to approve a merger or demerger of the Company, to amend the articles of association, to authorize an increase or reduction of the share capital, to authorize an issuance of convertible loans or warrants by the Company or to authorize the board of directors to purchase Shares and hold them as treasury shares or to dissolve the Company, must receive the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the general meeting in question. Moreover, Norwegian law requires that certain decisions, i.e. decisions that have the effect of substantially altering the rights and preferences of any shares or class of shares, receive the approval by the holders of such shares or class of shares as well as the majority required for amending the articles of association.

Decisions that (i) would reduce the rights of some or all of the Company's shareholders in respect of dividend payments or other rights to assets or (ii) restrict the transferability of the Shares, require that at least 90% of the share capital represented at the general meeting in question vote in favor of the resolution, as well as the majority required for amending the articles of association.

In general, only a shareholder registered in VPS is entitled to vote for such Shares. Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in the name of a nominee are generally not entitled to vote under Norwegian law, nor is any person who is designated in the VPS register as the holder of such Shares as nominees.

There are no quorum requirements that apply to the general meetings.

10.8.3 Additional issuances and preferential rights

If the Company issues any new shares, including bonus share issues, the Company's Articles of Association must be amended, which requires the same vote as other amendments to the articles of association. In addition, under Norwegian law, the Company's shareholders have a preferential right to subscribe for new shares issued by the Company. The preferential rights may be deviated from by a resolution in the general meeting passed with the same vote required to amend the articles of association. A deviation of the shareholders' preferential rights in respect of bonus issues requires the approval of all outstanding Shares.

The general meeting may, by the same vote as is required for amending the articles of association, authorize the board of directors to issue new shares, and to deviate from the preferential rights of shareholders in connection with such issuances. Such authorization may be effective for a maximum of two years, and the nominal value of the Shares to be issued may not exceed 50% of the registered par share capital when the authorization is registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises.

Under Norwegian law, the Company may increase its share capital by a bonus share issue, subject to approval by the Company's shareholders, by transfer from the Company's distributable equity or from the Company's share premium reserve and thus the share capital increase does not require any payment of a subscription price by the shareholders. Any bonus issues may be affected either by issuing new shares to the Company's existing shareholders or by increasing the nominal value of the Company's outstanding Shares.

Issuance of new shares to shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States and other jurisdictions upon the exercise of preferential rights may require the Company to file a registration statement or prospectus in the United States under United States securities laws or in such other jurisdictions under the laws of such jurisdictions. Should the Company in such a situation decide not to file a registration statement or prospectus, the Company's U.S. shareholders and shareholders in such other jurisdictions may not be able to exercise their preferential rights. To the extent that shareholders are not able to exercise their rights to subscribe for new shares, the value of their subscription rights will be lost and such shareholders' proportional ownership interests in the Company will be reduced.

10.8.4 Minority rights

Norwegian law sets forth a number of protections for minority shareholders of the Company, including, but not limited to, those described in this paragraph and the description of general meetings as set out above. Any of the Company's shareholders may petition Norwegian courts to have a decision of the board of directors or the Company's shareholders made at the general meeting declared invalid on the grounds that it unreasonably favors certain shareholders or third parties to the detriment of other shareholders or the Company itself. The Company's shareholders may also petition the courts to dissolve the Company as a result of such decisions to the extent particularly strong reasons are considered by the court to make necessary dissolution of the Company.

Minority shareholders holding 10% or more of the Company's share capital have a right to demand in writing that the Board of Directors convenes an extraordinary general meeting to discuss or resolve specific matters. In addition, any of the Company's shareholders may in writing demand that the Company place an item on the agenda for any general meeting as long as the Company is notified in time for such item to be included in the notice of the meeting. If the notice has been issued when such a written demand is presented, a renewed notice must be issued if the deadline for issuing notice of the general meeting has not expired.

10.8.5 Rights of redemption and repurchase of shares

The share capital of the Company may be reduced by reducing the nominal value of the Shares or by cancelling Shares. Such a decision requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at a general meeting. Redemption of individual Shares requires the consent of the holders of the Shares to be redeemed.

The Company may purchase its own Shares provided that the Board of Directors has been granted an authorization to do so by a general meeting with the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting. The aggregate nominal value of treasury shares so acquired, and held by the Company must not lead to the share capital with deduction of the aggregate nominal of the holding of own shares is less than the minimum allowed share capital of NOK 30,000, and treasury shares may only be acquired if the Company's distributable equity, according to the latest adopted balance sheet, exceeds the consideration to be paid for the shares. The authorization by the general meeting of the Company's shareholders cannot be granted for a period exceeding two years.

See Section 10.4 "Board authorizations to increase share capital and rights to shares" for information about such authorization granted to the Board of Directors.

10.8.6 Shareholder vote on certain reorganizations

A decision of the Company's shareholders to merge with another company or to demerge requires a resolution by the general meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the general meeting. A merger plan, or demerger plan signed by the Board of Directors along with certain other required documentation, would have to be sent to all the Company's shareholders, or if the articles of association stipulate that, made available to the shareholders on the Company's website, at least one month prior to the general meeting to pass upon the matter.

10.8.7 Distribution of assets on liquidation

Under Norwegian law, the Company may be wound-up by a resolution of the Company's shareholders at the general meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting. In the event of liquidation, the Shares rank equally in the event of a return on capital.

11. NORWEGIAN TAXATION

The following is a summary of certain Norwegian tax considerations relevant to the acquisition, ownership and disposition of shares by holders that are residents of Norway for purposes of Norwegian taxation ("Norwegian Shareholders") and holders that are not residents of Norway for such purposes ("Non-Norwegian Shareholders").

The summary is based on applicable Norwegian laws, rules and regulations as they exist in force as of the date of this Information Document. Such laws, rules and regulations may be subject to changes after this date, possibly on a retroactive basis. The summary is of a general nature and does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to the Shareholders and does not address foreign tax laws.

As will be evident from the description, the taxation will differ depending on whether the investor is a limited liability company or a natural person.

Please note that special rules apply for shareholders that cease to be tax resident in Norway or that for some reason are no longer considered taxable to Norway in relation to their shareholding.

Each Shareholder should consult with and rely upon their own tax advisor to determine the particular tax consequences for him or her and the applicability and effect of any Norwegian or foreign tax laws and possible changes in such laws.

For the purpose of the summary below, a reference to a Norwegian or Non-Norwegian shareholder or company refers to tax residency rather than nationality.

11.1 Norwegian shareholders

11.1.1 Taxation of dividends – Norwegian shareholders who are natural persons

Norwegian Shareholders who are natural persons are in general tax liable to Norway for their worldwide income. Dividends distributed to Norwegian Shareholders who are natural persons are taxed at a rate of 22%, then the tax base is adjusted upwards by a factor of 1.6, thus implying an effective tax rate of 35.2% (2022).

However, only dividends exceeding a statutory tax-free allowance (Norwegian: "skjermingsfradrag") are taxable. The allowance is calculated on a share-by-share basis, and the allowance for each share is equal to the cost price of the share multiplied by a determined risk-free interest rate based on the effective rate after tax of interest on treasury bills (Norwegian: "statskasseveksler") with three months maturity with the addition of 0,5 percentagepoints. The Directorate of Taxes announces the risk free-interest rate in January the year after the income year. The riskfree interest rate for 2021 was 0.5%. The risk free interest rate for 2022 will be published mid January 2023.

The allowance is allocated to the Norwegian Shareholder owning the share on 31 December in the relevant income year. Norwegian Shareholders who are natural persons and who transfer shares during an income year will thus not be entitled to deduct any calculated allowance related to the year of transfer. Any part of the calculated allowance one year exceeding dividend distributed on the same share ("excess allowance") can be carried forward and set off against future dividends received or capital gains upon realization of the same share. Furthermore, excess allowance can be added to the cost price of the share and included in the basis for calculating the allowance on the same share the following year.

The repayment of paid-in share capital and paid-in share premium of each share is not regarded as dividend for tax purposes and thus not subject to tax (if properly documented). Such repayment will lead to a reduction of the tax input value of the shares corresponding to the repayment.

11.1.2 Taxation of dividends – Norwegian corporate shareholders

Norwegian Shareholders who are corporations (i.e. limited liability companies, mutual funds, savings banks, mutual insurance companies or similar entities resident in Norway for tax purposes) are generally exempt from tax on dividends received on shares in Norwegian limited liability companies, pursuant to the Norwegian participation exemption method (Norwegian: "fritaksmetoden"). However, 3% of dividend income is generally deemed taxable as general income at a flat rate of 22% (2022), implying that dividends distributed from the Company to Norwegian Shareholders who are corporations are effectively taxed at a rate of 0.66% (2022).

However, Norwegian Shareholders who are corporations that fall within the scope of the participation exemption method and have an ownership stake in excess of 90% of the limited liability company, are not taxed upon the receipt of dividends from this company.

The repayment of paid-in share capital and paid-in share premium of each share is not regarded as dividend for tax purposes and thus not subject to tax (if properly documented). Such repayment will lead to a reduction of the deemed cost price for the shares corresponding to the repayment amount, meaning that any calculated gains subsequently realised on the shares will increase.

11.1.3 Taxation of capital gains – Norwegian shareholders who are natural persons

Sale, redemption or other disposal of shares is considered a realization for Norwegian tax purposes. A Norwegian Shareholder being a natural person with a capital gain or loss generated through a disposal of shares in the Company is taxable or tax deductible in Norway. Such capital gain or loss is included in or deducted from the shareholder's ordinary income in the year of disposal. Ordinary income is taxed at a rate of 22%, then the tax base is adjusted upwards by a factor of 1.6, thus implying an effective tax rate of 35.2% (2022). The gain is subject to tax and the loss is tax-deductible irrespective of the duration of the ownership and the number of shares disposed of.

The taxable gain/deductible loss is calculated per share, as the difference between the consideration for the share and the Norwegian Shareholder's cost price of the share, including any costs incurred in relation to the acquisition or realization of the share. From this capital gain, Norwegian Shareholders who are natural persons are entitled to deduct a calculated allowance, provided that such allowance has not already been used to reduce taxable dividend income. The allowance may only be deducted in order to reduce a taxable gain, and cannot increase or produce a deductible loss, i.e. any unused allowance exceeding the capital gain upon the realization of a share will be annulled.

If the Norwegian Shareholder being a natural person owns shares acquired at different points in time, the shares that were acquired first will be regarded as the first to be disposed of, on a first-in, first-out basis.

11.1.4 Taxation of capital gains – Norwegian corporate shareholders

Capital gains, by Norwegian Shareholders who are corporations, derived from the realization of shares qualifying for participation exemption are exempt from taxation. Losses incurred upon realization of such shares are not deductible.

11.1.5 Net wealth tax

Norwegian Shareholders being limited liability companies and certain similar entities are exempt from Norwegian net wealth tax.

For other Norwegian Shareholders (i.e. Shareholders who are natural persons), the shares will form part of the basis for the calculation of net wealth tax. As of January 1, 2022, the marginal net wealth tax rate is 0.95% on net wealth exceeding NOK 1,700,000 and up to NOK 19,999,999, and a current rate of 1.1% on net wealth of NOK 20,000,000 and above.

Shares traded on Euronext Growth Oslo are as of January 1, 2022 valued at 75% of their net wealth tax value on 1 January in the year after the income year.

11.2 Non-Norwegian shareholders – Norwegian taxation

This Section summarizes certain Norwegian tax rules relevant to shareholders that are not tax resident in Norway for Norwegian tax purposes. The potential tax liabilities for Non-Norwegian Shareholders in the jurisdiction where they are resident for tax purposes or other jurisdictions will depend on tax rules applicable in the relevant jurisdictions and is not discussed here.

11.2.1 Taxation of dividends – Non-Norwegian Shareholders who are natural persons

Dividends distributed to Non-Norwegian Shareholders who are natural persons are in general subject to withholding tax at a rate of 25%, unless otherwise provided for in an applicable tax treaty. The company distributing the dividend is normally responsible for the withholding. Norway has entered into tax treaties with more than 80 countries. In most tax treaties the withholding tax rate is reduced to 15%. Further, Non-Norwegian Shareholders who are natural persons resident in other EEA Member States may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a deduction of the same basic tax-free allowance on dividend payments as Norwegian Shareholders who are natural persons are entitled to. We refer to 11.1.1 Taxation of dividends – Norwegian shareholders who are natural persons for more information on the tax-free allowance.

In accordance with the present administrative system in Norway, the Norwegian distributing company will normally withhold tax at the regular rate or reduced rate according to an applicable tax treaty, based on the information registered with the VPS with regard to the tax residence of the Non-Norwegian Shareholder. Shares registered on nominee-accounts may, subject to certain documentation requirements, qualify for reduced withholding tax rate.

Non-Norwegian Shareholders who are exempt from withholding tax and Shareholders who have been subject to a higher withholding tax than applicable in the relevant tax treaty, may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax.

If a Non-Norwegian Shareholder is engaged in business activities in Norway, and the shares are effectively connected with such business activities, dividends distributed to such shareholder will generally be subject to the same taxation as that of a Norwegian Shareholder, cf. the description of tax issues related to Norwegian Shareholders above.

Non-Norwegian Shareholders should consult their own advisers regarding the availability of treaty benefits in respect of dividend payments, including the ability to effectively claim refunds of withholding tax.

11.2.2 Taxation of dividends - Non-Norwegian corporate shareholders

Dividends distributed to shareholders who are limited liability companies (and certain other entities) not resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders"), are as a general rule subject to withholding tax at a rate of 25%. The withholding tax rate of 25% is normally reduced through tax treaties between Norway and the country in which the shareholder is resident.

Dividends distributed to Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders resident within the EEA for tax purposes are exempt from Norwegian withholding tax provided that the shareholder is the beneficial owner of the shares and that the shareholder is genuinely established and performs genuine economic business activities within the relevant EEA jurisdiction.

Non-Norwegian Corporate Shareholders who have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted.

11.2.3 Capital gains tax - Non-Norwegian Shareholders

Capital gains generated by Non-Norwegian Shareholders are normally not taxable in Norway. This applies both for Non-Norwegian shareholders being corporations and natural persons.

If a Non-Norwegian Shareholder is engaged in business activities in Norway or has business activities managed from Norway, and the shares are effectively connected with such business activities, capital gains realized by such shareholder will generally be subject to the same taxation as for resident Norwegian Shareholders..

11.2.4 Net wealth tax

Shareholders not resident in Norway for tax purposes are not subject to Norwegian net wealth tax. Non-Norwegian Shareholders being natural persons can, however, become taxable to Norway if the shareholding is effectively connected to the conduct of trade or business in Norway.

11.3 Inheritance tax

Norway does not impose inheritance tax on assignment of shares by way of inheritance or gift. If any shares of the Company are assigned by way of inheritance or gift, the tax input value of such shares on the part of the originator of such inheritance or gift will be attributed to the recipient of said inheritance or gift (based on continuity). Thus, the heir will, upon realization of the shares, be taxable for any increase in value in the donor's ownership period. However, the principles of continuity only apply if the donor was taxable to Norway.

11.4 Stamp duty

There is currently no Norwegian stamp duty or transfer tax on the transfer or issuance of shares.

12. SELLING AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS

12.1 General

As a consequence of the following restrictions, prospective investors are advised to consult legal counsel prior to making any offer, resale, pledge or other transfer of the Shares admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo.

The Company is not taking any action to permit a public offering of the Shares in any jurisdiction. Receipt of this Information Document does not constitute an offer and this Information Document is for information only and should not be copied or redistributed. If an investor receives a copy of this Information Document, the investor may not treat this Information Document as constituting an invitation or offer to it, nor should the investor in any event deal in the Shares, unless, in the relevant jurisdiction, the Shares could lawfully be dealt in without contravention of any unfulfilled registration or other legal requirements. Accordingly, if an investor receives a copy of this Information Document, the investor should not distribute or send the same, or transfer Shares, to any person or in or into any jurisdiction where to do so would or might contravene local securities laws or regulations.

12.2 Selling restrictions

12.2.1 United States

12.2.3 European Economic Area

In no member state (each a "Relevant Member State") of the European Economic Area (EEA) have Shares been offered and in no Relevant Member State will Shares be offered to the public pursuant to an offering, except that Shares may be offered to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time in reliance on the following exemptions under the Prospectus Regulation:

  • a) to persons who are "qualified investors" within the meaning of Article 2(e) in the Prospectus Regulation;
  • b) to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Regulation) per Relevant Member State; or
  • c) in any other circumstances falling under the scope of Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Regulation; provided that no such offer of Shares shall result in a requirement for the Company or Euronext Growth Advisors to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Regulation or supplementary prospectus pursuant to Article 23 of the Prospectus Regulation.

For the purpose of this provision, the expression an "offer to the public" in relation to any Shares in any Relevant Member State means a communication to persons in any form and by any means presenting sufficient information on the terms of the an offering and the Shares to be offered, so as to enable an investor to decide to acquire any Shares.

This EEA selling restriction is in addition to any other selling restrictions set out in this Information Document.

12.2.4 Other jurisdictions

Independent Practitioner´s Assurance Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information included in a Prospectus

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information of Nordic Technology Group AS (the "Company") by the Company's management. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information consists of unaudited pro forma statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed statement of income for the year ended 31 December 2021, and related notes as set out in the Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information to the admission to trading of all issued shares of the Company on Euronext Growth Oslo. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Company has compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information are specified in Annex 20 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, which is incorporated in section 7-13 of the Securities Trading Act (Norway) and as described in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information in Section 7.2 in the Information Document (the "applicable criteria").

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been compiled by management of the Company to illustrate the impact of the Transaction and Minority Offers as defined in Section 9.1 in the Information Document on the Company's consolidated statement of income for the year ended 31 December 2021 had the Transaction and Minority Offers occurred on 1 January 2021 and on the Company's consolidated statement of financial position as of 31 December 2021 had the Transaction and Minority Offers occurred on 31 December 2021.

As part of this process, information about the financial position and financial performance of Nordic Technology Group AS, Hybrid Energy AS, Hystorsys AS, CondAlign AS, Wavetrain Systems AS, MossHydro AS, Hammertech AS and CrayoNano AS have been extracted by management from the respective audited financial statements as at and for the period ended 31 December 2021. The independent auditors report on the financial statements of Nordic Technology Group AS, Hybrid Energy AS and Wavetrain Systems AS included emphasis of matter paragraphs for material uncertainties related to going concern.

The Company Management Responsibility for the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information

The Company management's is responsible for compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information on the basis of the applicable criteria.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care,

confidentiality and professional behavior.

The firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Practitioner's Responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion as required by Annex 20 section 3 of Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 which is incorporated in section 7-13 of the Securities Trading Act (Norway) about whether the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been compiled, by the Company's management, on the basis of the applicable criteria.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the practitioner plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether Company's management has compiled the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information on the basis of the applicable criteria and whether this basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.

For the purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information, including any adjustments made to conform accounting policies, or assumptions used in compiling the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information. Our work has consisted primarily of comparing the underlying historical financial information used to prepare the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information to source documentation, assessing documentation supporting the adjustments and discussing the pro forma information with management of the Company.

The purpose of Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information included in a Prospectus is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or Transaction on unadjusted financial information of the Company if the event had occurred or the Transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction, if the event or transaction had taken place on 31 December 2021 and on 1 January 2021, would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been compiled on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by management of the Company in the compilation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria;
  • The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information; and
  • The unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.

The procedures selected depend on the practitioner's judgment, having regard to the practitioner's understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Information has been compiled on the basis stated in the applicable criteria
  • the basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company

Report on Other Legal or Regulatory Requirements

This report has been issued solely in connection with the admission to trading of all issued shares of the Company on Euronext Growth Oslo. Therefore, this report is not intended to be used in other jurisdictions and should not be used or relied upon for any purpose other than the admission to trading of shares described above.

Skatt

Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 22 % på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reverseres i samme periode erutlignet og nettoført.

Forenklingsreglene i NRS 8 vedrørende balanseføring av utsatt skattefordel følges ikke. Utsatt skattefordel balanseføres basert på kravet om sannsynliggjøring av utnyttelse av skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller, herunder fremførbart underskudd

Klassifisering og vurdering av omløpsmidler

Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld omfatter poster som forfaller til betaling innen ett år etter balansedagen, samt poster som knytter seg til varekretsløpet. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste verdi av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi.

Note 6 Fortsatt drift

I samsvar med regnskapsloven bekreftes det at forutsetningen om fortsatt drift er lagt til grunn ved utarbeidelsen av regnskapet.

Nordic Technology Group AS er stiftet med formål å drive teknologivirksomhet gjennom eierskap i andre virksomheter. Selskapet er ved tidspunkt for avleggelse av regnskapet i prosess med kapitalinnhenting og årsregnskapet er på denne bakgrunn avlagt under forutsetning om fortsatt drift.

Kapitalinnhentingen ertilrettelagt av Arctic Securities og Sparebank 1 Markets i forbindelse med selskapets planlagte notering på Euronext Growth i løpet av sommeren 2022. Per dato for avleggelse av regnskapet for 2021 eromtrent NOK 100 millioner indikert i ny kapital til selskapet. Styret ønsker dog å presisere at det frem til det punktet hvor en faktisk transaksjon ergjennomført, vil det endelig utfallet av en slik transaksjon være beheftet med usikkerhet rundt både endelig gjennomføringstidspunkt og det totale tegningsbeløpet på ny kapital.

For å gjennomføre selskapets kommersialiserings- og vekststrategier i de fremtidige eiervirksomheter, vil det kunne være behov for ytterligere kapitalinnhenting eller andre finansielle prosesser om det skulle bli uforutsette forskyvninger i forventede inntektsstrømmer. Det er risiko for at denne finansieringen ikke er tilgjengelig eller må inngås med betingelser som er til ugunst for eksisterende aksjonærer.

Til generalforsamlingen i Nordic Technology Group AS

Uavhengig revisors beretning

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert Nordic Technology Group AS' årsregnskap som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav, og
  • gir årsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til fortsatt drift

Vi gjør oppmerksom på note 6 i årsregnskapet hvor det angis at selskapet er i prosess med å hente inn ny kapital, men at det er usikkerhet knyttet til tidspunkt for gjennomføring og tegningsbeløp. Videre angis det at det vil kunne være behov for ytterligere finansiering for å gjennomføre selskapets kommersialiserings- og vekststrategier. Videre angis det at det er risiko for at denne finansieringen ikke er tilgjengelig eller må inngås med betingelser som er til ugunst for eksisterende aksjonærer. Disse forholdene og andre omstendigheter som er beskrevet i note 6, indikerer at det foreligger en vesentlig usikkerhet som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Vår konklusjon er ikke modifisert som følge av dette forholdet.

Styrets ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik internkontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg:

  • identifiserer og vurderer vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i regnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes utilsiktede feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av internkontroll.
  • opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontroll som er relevant for revisjonen, for å utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets interne kontroll.
  • evaluerer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige.
  • konkluderer vi på hensiktsmessigheten av ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen ved avleggelsen av årsregnskapet, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, og hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det eksisterer vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i årsregnskapet, eller, dersom slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, at vi modifiserer vår konklusjon. Våre konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet inntil datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapet ikke fortsetter driften.
  • evaluerer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet i årsregnskapet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet gir uttrykk for de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde.

Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen og til hvilken tid revisjonsarbeidet skal utføres. Vi utveksler også informasjon om forhold av betydning som vi har avdekket i løpet av revisjonen, herunder om eventuelle svakheter av betydning i den interne kontrollen.

Note 1 Regnskapsprinsipper

Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og NRS 8 - God regnskapsskikk for små foretak.

Driftsinntekter

Wavetrain Systems AS er et selskap som utvikler og selger varslings- og sikkerhetssystemer til jernbaneindustrien. Inntektsføring ved salg av systemene skjer på leveringstidspunktet. Servicetjenester o.l. inntektsføres etter hvert som de leveres.

Skatt

Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 22 % på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt skattemessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reverseres i samme periode erutlignet og nettoført.

Forenklingsreglene i NRS 8 vedrørende balanseføring av utsatt skattefordel følges ikke. Utsatt skattefordel balanseføres basert på kravet om sannsynliggjøring av utnyttelse av skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller, herunder fremførbart underskudd.

Klassifisering og vurdering av anleggsmidler

Anleggsmidler omfatter eiendeler bestemt til varig eie og bruk. Anleggsmidler er vurdert til anskaffelseskost. Varige driftsmidler balanseføres og avskrives over driftsmidlets økonomiske levetid. Ved indikasjon på at balanseført verdi av etanleggsmiddel er høyere enn virkelig verdi, foretas det test for verdifall. Testen foretas for det laveste nivå av anleggsmidler som har selvstendige kontantstrømmer. Hvis balanseført verdi er høyere enn både bruksverdi (nåverdi ved fortsatt bruk/eie) og salgsverdi, foretas det nedskrivning til det høyeste av salgsverdi og bruksverdi. Tidligere nedskrivninger reverseres hvis forutsetningene for nedskrivningen ikke lenger er tilstede.

Klassifisering og vurdering av omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld

Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld omfatter poster som forfaller til betaling innen ett år etter balansedagen, samt poster som knytter seg til varekretsløpet. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste verdi av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi.

Aksjer i datterselskap

Datterselskap vurderes etter kostmetoden i selskapsregnskapet. Investeringen ervurdert til anskaffelseskost for aksjene med mindre nedskrivning har vært nødvendig. Nedskrivninger er reversert når grunnlaget for nedskrivning ikke lenger er til stede. Utbytte, konsernbidrag og andre utdelinger fra datterselskap er inntektsført samme årsom det er avsatt i givers regnskap. Overstiger utbytte / konsernbidraget andelen av opptjent resultat etter anskaffelsestidspunktet, representerer den overskytende del tilbakebetaling av investert kapital, og utdelingene erfratrukket investeringens verdi i balansen til morselskapet.

Varebeholdninger

Lager av innkjøpte varer verdsettes til det laveste av anskaffelseskost etter FIFO-prinsippet, og netto salgsverdi. Egentilvirkede ferdigvarer og varer under tilvirkning vurderes til variabel tilvirkningskost.

Fordringer

Kundefordringer og andre fordringer oppføres til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning til tap gjøres på grunnlag av en individuell vurdering av de enkelte fordringene.

Immaterielle eiendeler

Selskapet utvikler nå siste generasjon av sitt hovedprodukt for deteksjon av tog. I den forbindelse gjennomføres utvikling basert spesifikke kundekrav som vil gjelde generelt i markedet og åpne markedet for denne nye produktfamilien. Selskapet utvikler også teknologi som vil inngå i nye produkter.

Utvikling erknyttet til kostnader i forbindelse med videreutvikling og sertifisering av selskapets produkter. Det forventes at samlet inntjening fra pågående utvikling vil motsvare de medgåtte samlende utgifter.

Utgifter til utvikling balanseføres i den grad det kan måles pålitelig og det kan identifiseres en fremtidig økonomisk fordel knyttet til utvikling av en identifiserbar immaterielle eiendel. Selskapet kostnadsfører faste tilvirkningskostnader.

Egne kostnader til første gangs patentering, samt kjøp av patenter, balanseføres som immaterielle eiendeler og avskrives over patentenes varighet.

Offentlige tilskudd

Selskapet mottar tilskudd fra Skattefunn og defineres som investeringstilskudd til prosjektutvikling. All mottatt støtte nettoføres mot aktivert utvikling på mottakstidspunktet for at det skal bringe overensstemmelse mellom fremtidige kontantstrømmer og virkelig verdi, samt at dette anses som rettvisende bilde av prosjektutviklingen.

Note 10 Hendelser etter balansedagen

Selskapet har i 2022 gjennomført en emisjon på kr7 698 259. Emisjonen erregistrert 29.03.2022.

Note 11 Fortsatt drift

I samsvar med regnskapsloven bekreftes det at forutsetningen om fortsatt drift er lagt til grunn ved utarbeidelsen av regnskapet.

Selskapets finansielle risiko erførst og fremst knyttet til den generelle markedsutviklingen og selskapets evne til å sikre tilgang til ny likviditet dersom det skulle være nødvendig. Selskapet mottok i april 2022 en «Product Type Approval Certificate» fra Network Rail, UK. Dette sertifikatet muliggjør nå salg av selskapets produkt innenfor jernbaneoverganger i UK samt mulig kryss sertifisering i andre land. Siden selskapet fortsatt er ien tidlig kommersialiseringsfase erdet risiko for at forventet salg blir forsinket eller ikke gjennomført iht. forventede vilkår. Dette kan medføre at selskapet vil ha behov for ytterligere likviditet for å kunne betjene sine forpliktelser.

Selskapet har lagt til grunn et konservativt estimat på salgsvekst i 2022 som indikerer at selskapet vil trenge ytterligere likviditet i perioder frem til salgsveksten øker. Selskapets største eier, Norsk Innovasjonskapital AS, har akseptert en aksjeoverdragelse til Nordic Technology Group AS som har iverksatt tiltak for å sikre ytterligere likviditet til selskapet dersom det er behov for det, men endelig utfall av en slik transaksjon vil være beheftet med usikkerhet rundt både gjennomføringstidspunkt og verdi. Styret i selskapet har tett dialog med Norsk Innovasjonskapital AS og ledelsen i Nordic Technology Group AS rundt likviditetsprognoser i de kommende perioder og nødvendige tiltak som kan iverksettes for å sikre denne likviditeten. Avhengig av likviditetsutvikling i selskapet de neste tolv måneder, kan det være behov for ytterligere finansiering fra Nordic Technology Group AS og det er en risiko for at denne finansieringen ikke ertilgjengelig eller må inngås med betingelser som er til ugunst for eksisterende aksjonærer.

Til generalforsamlingen i Wavetrain Systems AS

Uavhengig revisors beretning

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert Wavetrain Systems AS' årsregnskap som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav, og
  • gir årsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til fortsatt drift

Vi gjør oppmerksom på note 11 i årsregnskapet hvor det angis at risikoen for forsinkelser i forventet salg eller at salg ikke gjennomføres i henhold til forventede vilkår, kan medføre behov for tilførsel av likviditet. Det angis videre at aksjene i selskapet vil bli overdratt til Nordic Technology Group AS. Potensiell ny eier har iverksatt tiltak for å sikre ytterligere likviditet til selskapet dersom behov oppstår, men det angis i note 11 at endelig utfall av en slik transaksjon vil være beheftet med usikkerhet knyttet til gjennomføringstidspunkt og verdi. Det angis også i note 11 at det er risiko for at denne finansieringen ikke er tilgjengelig eller må inngås med betingelser som er til ugunst for eksisterende aksjonærer. Disse forholdene og andre omstendigheter som er beskrevet i note 11, indikerer at det foreligger en vesentlig usikkerhet som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Vår konklusjon er ikke modifisert som følge av dette forholdet.

Styrets og daglig leders ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlige for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik internkontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg:

  • identifiserer og vurderer vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i regnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes utilsiktede feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av internkontroll.
  • opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontroll som er relevant for revisjonen, for å utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets interne kontroll.
  • evaluerer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige.
  • konkluderer vi på hensiktsmessigheten av ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen ved avleggelsen av årsregnskapet, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, og hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det eksisterer vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i årsregnskapet, eller, dersom slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, at vi modifiserer vår konklusjon. Våre konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet inntil datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapet ikke fortsetter driften.
  • evaluerer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet i årsregnskapet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet gir uttrykk for de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde.

Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen og til hvilken tid revisjonsarbeidet skal utføres. Vi utveksler også informasjon om forhold av betydning som vi har avdekket i løpet av revisjonen, herunder om eventuelle svakheter av betydning i den interne kontrollen.

Regnskapsprinsipper

Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og god regnskapsskikk for små foretak.

Hovedregel for vurdering og klassifisering av eiendeler og gjeld

Eiendeler bestemt til varig eie eller bruk er klassifisert som anleggsmidler. Andre eiendeler er klassifisert som omløpsmidler. Fordringer som skal tilbakebetales innen et år er uansett klassifisert som omløpsmidler. Ved klassifisering av kortsiktig og langsiktig gjeld er analoge kriterier lagt til grunn.

Anleggsmidler vurderes til anskaffelseskost, men nedskrives til virkelig verdi når verdifallet forventes ikke å være forbigående. Anleggsmidler med begrenset økonomisk levetid avskrives planmessig. Langsiktig gjeld balanseføres til nominelt mottatt beløp på etableringstidspunktet.

Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi. Kortsiktig gjeld balanseføres til nominelt mottatt beløp på etableringstidspunktet.

Enkelte poster er vurdert etter andre regler. Postene det gjelder vil være blant de postene som omhandles nedenfor.

Immaterielle eiendeler

Utgifter til immaterielle eiendeler, herunder utgifter til forskning og utvikling, er balanseført i den utstrekning kriteriene for balanseføring er oppfylt. Offentlige tilskudd, herunder skattefunn, er bruttoført slik at tilskuddet er oppført som utsatt inntekt og inntektsføres i takt med avskrivningene av balanseførte immaterielle eiendeler.

Varige driftsmidler

Varige driftsmidler avskrives over forventet økonomisk levetid. Avskrivningene er som hovedregel fordelt lineært over antatt økonomisk levetid.

Fordringer

Kundefordringer og andre fordringer oppføres til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning til tap gjøres på grunnlag av en individuell vurdering av de enkelte fordringene. I tillegg gjøres det for øvrige kundefordringer en uspesifisert avsetning for å dekke antatt tap.

Inntektsføring

Selskapet inntektsfører inntekter når selskapet har fått ubetinget rett på vederlaget.

Skatt

Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 22% på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret . Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reversere i samme periode er utlignet og nettoført.

Hammertech AS

Note 1 Offentlig tilskudd og skattefunn

Selskapet har godkjent skattefunnprosjekt med balanseført krav på skattefunn på kr 2 126 000 Skattefunn er knyttet til balanseført FoU og er behandlet etter bruttometoden slik at skattefunn inntektsføres itakt med avskrivning på balanseført FoU.

Mottatt offentlig støtte som er behandlet som utsatt inntekt og som skal inntektsføres i takt med fremtidige avskrivninger er kr 12 563 233. Posten er klassifisert som annen langsiktig gjeld.

Av selskapets tilgang av immaterielle eiendeler i 2021 knytter alt seg til egne forsknings- og utviklingskostnader. Avskrivningsplan for selskapets balanseførte FoU bleendret med virkning fra regnskapsåret 2020 slik at balanseført verdi avskrives over 10 år fra og fra det år arbeidet er utført. Forventet samlet inntjening av pågående forsknings og utviklingsprosjekter forventes å overstige samlede utgifter.

ÅRSBERETNING 2021 Resultatregnskap Balanse Noter til regnskapet

CONDALIGN AS

ÅRSBERETNING 2021

Utarbeidet i samsvar med kravene i regnskapsloven § 3-3

Om selskapet og virksomheten

CondAlign AS utvikler og fremstiller avanserte plastfilmer som kan lede elektrisitet, varme og gass. Teknologien er patentert og eies av firmaet selv. Selskapet ble stiftet 29. september 2010 og er lokalisert på Løren i Oslo.

Selskapet har basis i forskning fra Institutt for Energiteknikk (IFE) på Kjeller. Siden «proof of concept» i 2013 er det lagt ned betydelige ressurser i forskning og utvikling. Selskapet legger også betydelig ressurser i beskyttelse av teknologien og patenterer fortløpende ny teknologi. Selskapet har 43 patenter i 9 patentfamilier i tillegg til 14 søknader innenfor ytterligere 3 patentfamilier.

Selskapet har en forretningsmodell bygget på lisensiering av teknologien til kunder som produserer og selger produkter muliggjort av Selskapets teknologi. Kundene utvikler, med støtte fra CondAlign, produkter som tas til markedet. Selskapet tar betalt underveis i utvikling av produkter. Selskapet har intern produksjonskapasitet som brukes til utvikling og som fremover også vil benyttes til små-skala produksjon. En slik små-skala produksjon vil kreve ytterligere ressurser til utvikling av utstyr, prosess og kvalitetssystem. Selskapet jobber også med produksjonsbedrifter for å tilrettelegge for kontraktproduksjon av industrielle volumer av produkter utviklet og markedsført av CondAlign.

Selskapet opplever fortsatt stor interesse for teknologien og har betydelig antall henvendelser fra store og små selskaper internasjonalt. CondAlign-teknologien har potensiale til å bli sentral i elektrisk ledende komponenter til bruk i flatskjermer, forbrukerelektronikk, og som termiske ledende materialer for kjøling av batteripakken i elbiler og annen elektronikk. Selskapet gjør kontinuerlig evalueringsstudier innen elektronikk og området for termisk ledende materialer. Det pågår diskusjoner om potensielle lisensavtaler med flere kunder. Parallelt er det betydelig interesse fra aktører som ønsker leveranse av CondAlign sine ferdigproduserte varer.

Covid-19 pandemien har påvirket Selskapet også gjennom 2021. Det har vært utfordringer knyttet til mulighet for å reise, utstrakt bruk av hjemmekontor, samt utfordringer med leveranser og eksternt samarbeid. Dette har påvirket fremdriften i flere prosjekter.

CondAlign Capture As ble etablert i 2020 for å fokusere på utvikling av membraner til bruk i gass-seperasjon. Utviklingen av dette området har i stor grad basert seg på et samarbeidsprosjekt med NTNU og SINTEF som ble avsluttet i 2021. På tross av lovende resultater har CondAlign av ressurshensyn valgt å ikke prioritere denne satsningen i det korte bildet og heller fokusere på kommersielle prosesser med kortere ledetid.

Selskapets stilling og resultat

CondAlign AS har i 2021 lagt ned betydelige ressurser i videreutvikling og markedsføring av selskapets teknologi. Selskapet har finansiert driften med egenkapital og støtte fra offentlige midler.

Det er i 2021 inntekter på NOK 467 379 fra kommersielle utviklingsprosjekter.

Årsresultatet i 2020 var et underskudd på NOK 10 296 498 mens årsresultatet i 2021 viser et underskudd på NOK 22 065 342 som foreslås dekket ved overføring fra annen egenkapital på NOK 22 065 342. Økningen i underskudd fra 2020 til 2021 skyldes den planlagte oppskaleringen av Selskapets aktivitet som har økt antall ansatte og de totale kostnadene.

Styret mener at årsregnskapet gir et rettvisende bilde av selskapets eiendeler og gjeld, finansielle stilling og resultat. Egenkapitalen pr. 31.12.2021 var NOK 49 330 701. Selskapet hadde pr 31.12.2021 NOK 2 620 000 i konvertibel gjeld av en totalkapital på NOK 66 453 512.

Selskapet finner det forsvarlig å balanseføre FoU-kostnader knyttet til videreutvikling siden teknologiutviklingen og markedsmulighetene er svært lovende. Gjennom året er det netto balanseført kostnader til FoU for NOK 2 832 068 etter reduksjon som følge av offentlige tilskudd til utviklingsprosjekter på NOK 2 325 507 og SkatteFUNN på NOK 2 363 028. Selskapet har videre aktivert investeringer i maskiner og Inventar NOK 3 239 877 gjennom året.

Årsregnskapet for 2021 er utarbeidet under forutsetning av fortsatt drift. Selskapets finansielle posisjon er sikret gjennom en betydelig kontantbeholdning og egenkapital, samt offentlig støtte. Det forventes betydelig investering i utvikling også i 2022 i kommersialisering av produkter bygget på Selskapets teknologi. Selskapet har tilstrekkelig likviditet til å gjennomføre styregodkjente planer for videreutvikling og kommersialisering for minimum de neste 12 måneder. Det bekreftes herved at forutsetningen for fortsatt drift er til stede.

De primære markedsrisikoene i for CondAlign inkluderer at man ikke lykkes med produktutvikling og kommersialisering av teknologien eller at konkurrerende eller alternativ teknologi blir tilgjengelig. Annen risiko inkluderer at Selskapet ikke oppnår nødvendige inntekter eller får tilgang på kapital som kan være nødvendig i en fase hvor Selskapet har begrenset med inntekter. Selskapets kunder er internasjonale selskap som det ikke knytter seg kjent kredittrisiko til. Selskapet er valutaeksponert siden avtaler oftest inngås i euro eller dollar, men denne vurderes som begrenset og eksponeringen sikres foreløpig ikke.

CondAlign har tegnet styreansvarsforsikring for Selskapet. Forsikringen dekker styrets og daglig leders rettslige personlige erstatningsansvar for ren formueskade som forårsakes ved utførelsen av vervet.

Ansatte

CondAlign AS hadde pr. 31.12.2021 13 ansatte, hvorav fire kvinner. Styret består av fem menn og en kvinne. Styret har ut fra en vurdering av antall ansatte og stillingskategorier ikke funnet det nødvendig å iverksette spesielle tiltak med hensyn til likestilling. Styret mener arbeidsmiljøet i selskapet er godt. Det har ikke vært skader eller ulykker, og sykefraværet har vært moderat i 2021. Det er planlagt en styrking av virksomheten fremover, med rekruttering av ressurser innenfor teknologi og produksjon.

Miljø

Styret anser at selskapets virksomhet ikke forurenser det ytre miljø av noen betydning. Det er innført kildesortering.

Selskapet har en teknologi som har potensiale til å utvikle produkter med et positivt fotavtrykk på miljøet. Produkter produsert med CondAlign teknologien vil kunne ha mer effektiv bruk av knappe ressurser, samt redusere avfall i produksjon grunnet gjenbrukbarhet.

Hendelser etter balansedagen

Etter regnskapsårets utgang forfalt Selskapets resterende konvertible lån og tegningsretter. Etter forfallet har Selskapet ingen konvertible lån utestående og det ble utstedt 189 225 nye aksjer.

Note 1 - Regnskapsprinsipper

Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og NRS 8 - God regnskapsskikk for små foretak, med mindre noe annet er angitt. Det er gitt noteopplysninger utover kravet som gjelder for små foretak.

Driftsinntekter

Selskapet har en forretningsmodell bygget på utlisensiering av teknologien til kunder som skal produsere og selge produkter muliggjort av Selskapets teknologi. Videre leverer Selskapet tjenester i form prosjekt og utviklingsbistand til kunder og tar betalt for dette. Inntektsføring ved salg av varer og tjenester skjer på leveringstidspunktet. Tjenester inntektsføres ved oppnådde milepæler og sluttleveranser. Selskapet har i 2021 ikke hatt inntekter fra utlisensiering av teknologien. I 2021 har Selskapet inntekter fra tjenester knyttet til utviklingsprosjekter for kunder som har blitt inntektsført ved oppnåelse av definerte milepæler.

Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld

Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld omfatter normalt poster som forfaller til betaling innen ettår etter siste dag i regnskapsåret, samt poster som knytter seg til varekretsløpet. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste verdi av anskaffelseskost og antatt virkelig verdi (Laveste verdi's prinsipp).

Utvikling

Selskapet utvikler, lisensierer og selger teknologi for fremstilling av avanserte plastfilmer som kan lede elektrisitet, varme og gass. Teknologien erpatentert og eies av firmaet selv. Utgifter til utvikling balanseføres i den grad det kan måles pålitelig og det kan identifiseres en fremtidig økonomisk fordel knyttet til utvikling av en identifiserbar immaterielle eiendel. Selskapet kostnadsfører faste tilvirkningskostnader. Det vesentligste av balanseført utvikling erderfor personalkostnader og kostnader knyttet til underleverandører som er direkte relatert til utviklingsprosjekt. Balanseført utvikling avskrives lineært over økonomisk levetid. Selskapet definerer det overveiende av sitt utviklingsarbeid som utvikling for fremtidig salg og/eller lisensiering av sin kjerneteknologi.

Offentlig tilskudd

Selskapet søker årlig om Skattefunn og andre tilskuddsordninger fra det offentlige og defineres som investeringstilskudd til prosjektutvikling. All mottatt støtte nettoføres mot aktivert utvikling på mottakstidspunktet for at det skal bringe overenstemmelse mellom anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi, samt at dette anses som rettvisende bilde av prosjektutviklingen. I de tilfeller der mottakstidspunktet avviker fra utviklingstidspunktet føres beløpet enten som kortsiktig gjeld (forhåndsutbetaling) eller en fordring (etterskuddsvis betaling). Tilskuddene resultatføres som reduserte avskrivninger.

Anleggsmidler og langsiktig gjeld

Anleggsmidler omfatter eiendeler bestemt til varig eie og bruk for virksomheten. Anleggsmidler er

Utgifter til utvikling balanseføres i den grad det kan identifiseres en fremtidig økonomisk fordel knyttet til utvikling av en identifiserbar immaterielle eiendel. I motsatt fall kostnadsføres slike utgifter løpende. Det vesentligste av balanseført utvikling erpersonalkostnader fra egenproduserte eller samarbeidende underleverandører. Det er forventet at fremtidig inntjening fra lisensavtaler vil være betydelig over utviklingskostnadene. Se note 2 for oversikt over aktiverte lønnskostnader og note 6 for beskrivelse av offentlige tilskudd.

Grunnet usikkerhet om tidspunkt for utnyttelse velger selskapet å avvente utsatt skatt sett i lys av fremtidig inntjening, slik atutsatt skattefordel ikke balanseføres.

Til generalforsamlingen i CondAlign AS

Uavhengig revisors beretning

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert CondAlign AS' årsregnskap som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav, og
  • gir årsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Øvrig informasjon

Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlige for informasjonen i årsberetningen. Øvrig informasjon omfatter informasjon i årsrapporten bortsett fra årsregnskapet og den tilhørende revisjonsberetningen. Vår konklusjon om årsregnskapet ovenfor dekker ikke informasjonen i årsberetningen.

I forbindelse med revisjonen av årsregnskapet er det vår oppgave å lese årsberetningen. Formålet er å vurdere hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig inkonsistens mellom årsberetningen og årsregnskapet og den kunnskap vi har opparbeidet oss under revisjonen av årsregnskapet, eller hvorvidt informasjon i årsberetningen ellers fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har plikt til å rapportere dersom årsberetningen fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har ingenting å rapportere i så henseende.

Basert på kunnskapen vi har opparbeidet oss i revisjonen, mener vi at årsberetningen

  • er konsistent med årsregnskapet og
  • inneholder de opplysninger som skal gis i henhold til gjeldende lovkrav.

Ledelsens ansvar for årsregnskapet

Ledelsen er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik internkontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

KPMG AS, a Norwegian limited liability company and member firm of the KPMG network member firms affliated
with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg:

  • identifiserer og vurderer vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i regnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes utilsiktede feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av internkontroll.
  • opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontroll som er relevant for revisjonen, for å utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets interne kontroll.
  • evaluerer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige.
  • konkluderer vi på hensiktsmessigheten av ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen ved avleggelsen av årsregnskapet, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, og hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det eksisterer vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i årsregnskapet, eller, dersom slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, at vi modifiserer vår konklusjon. Våre konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet inntil datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapet ikke fortsetter driften.
  • evaluerer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet i årsregnskapet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet gir uttrykk for de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde.

Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen og til hvilken tid revisjonsarbeidet skal utføres. Vi utveksler også informasjon om forhold av betydning som vi har avdekket i løpet av revisjonen, herunder om eventuelle svakheter av betydning i den interne kontrollen.

Note 1 Regnskapsprinsipper

Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og NRS 8 - God regnskapsskikk for små foretak.

Salgsinntekter

Selskapet selger hybride varmpepumper og er vurdert som anleggskontrakter iht. NRS 2. Forenklingsreglene i NRS 8 følges ikke.

Arbeid under utførelse knyttet til fastpriskontrakter med lang tilvirkningstid vurderes etter løpende avregningsmetode. Fullførelsesgraden beregnes som påløpte kostnader i prosent av forventet totalkostnad. Totalkostnaden revurderes løpende. For prosjekter som antas å gi tap, kostnadsføres hele det beregnede tapet umiddelbart.

Selskapets serviceinntekter inntektsføres løpende og etter hvert som tjenesten leveres.

Skatt

Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 22 % på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt skattemessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reverseres i samme periode er utlignet og nettoført.

Forenklingsreglene i NRS 8 vedrørende balanseføring av utsatt skattefordel følges ikke. Utsatt skattefordel balanseføres basert på kravet om sannsynliggjøring av utnyttelse av skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller, herunder fremførbart underskudd.

Klassifisering av balanseposter

Eiendeler bestemt til varig eie eller bruk er klassifisert som anleggsmidler. Eiendeler som er knyttet til varekretsløpet er klassifisert som omløpsmidler. Fordringer klassifiseres som omløpsmidler hvis de skal tilbakebetales i løpet av ett år. For gjeld er analoge kriterier lagt til grunn. Første års avdrag på langsiktig gjeld klassifiseres likevel ikke som kortsiktig gjeld. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste verdi av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi.

Varige driftsmidler

Varige driftsmidler balanseføres og avskrives lineært over driftsmidlenes forventede levetid dersom de har antatt levetid over 3 år og har en kostpris som overstiger kr 15 000. Vedlikehold av driftsmidler kostnadsføres løpende. Påkostninger eller forbedringer tillegges driftsmidlets kostpris og avskrives i takt med driftsmidlet. Skillet mellom vedlikehold og påkostning/forbedring regnes i forhold til driftsmidlets stand ved kjøp av driftsmidlet. Selskapet følger ikke forenklingsreglene for små foretak når det gjelder skillet mellom vedlikehold og påkostning.

Ved indikasjon på at balanseført verdi av et anleggsmiddel er høyere enn virkelig verdi, foretas det test for verdifall. Testen foretas for det laveste nivå av anleggsmidler som har selvstendige kontantstrømmer. Hvis balanseført verdi er høyere enn både bruksverdi (nåverdi ved fortsatt bruk/eie) og salgsverdi, foretas det nedskrivning til det høyeste av salgsverdi og bruksverdi. Tidligere nedskrivninger reverseres hvis forutsetningene for nedskrivningen ikke lenger er til stede.

Immaterielle eiendeler

Forskning og utvikling er kostnader i forbindelse med videreutvikling av selskapets hybrid varmepumpe med støttesystemer. Det forventes at samlet inntjening fra pågående utvikling vil motsvare de medgåtte samlede utgifter.

Utgifter til forskning og utvikling balanseføres i den grad det kan identifiseres en fremtidig økonomisk fordel knyttet til utvikling av en identifiserbar immateriell eiendel og utgiftene kan måles pålitelig. I motsatt fall kostnadsføres slike utgifter løpende. Balanseført forskning og utvikling avskrives lineært over økonomisk levetid.

Egne kostnader til første gangs patentering, samt kjøp av patenter, balanseføres som immaterielle eiendeler og avskrives over patentenes varighet.

Selskapet kostnadsfører faste tilvirkningskostnader.

Aksjer i datterselskap

Datterselskap vurderes etter kostmetoden. Investeringen er vurdert til anskaffelseskost for aksjene med mindre nedskrivning har vært nødvendig. Ved verdifall vil det foretas nedskrivning til antatt virkelig verdi etter god regnskapsskikk. Nedskrivninger vil reverseres når grunnlaget for nedskrivning ikke lenger er til stede.

Utbytte, konsernbidrag og andre utdelinger fra datterselskap inntektsføres samme år som det er avsatt i givers regnskap. Overstiger utbytte / konsernbidraget andelen av opptjent resultat etter anskaffelsestidspunktet, representerer den overskytende del tilbakebetaling av investert kapital, og utdelingene er fratrukket investeringens verdi i balansen til morselskapet.

Fordringer

Kundefordringer og andre fordringer oppføres til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning til tap gjøres på grunnlag av en individuell vurdering av de enkelte fordringene. I tillegg gjøres det for øvrige kundefordringer en uspesifisert avsetning for å dekke antatt tap.

Note 5 Investering i datterselskap

kontor stemmeandel 2021 pr. 31.12
Hystorsys AS Bærum 100 % -1 725 643 -5 295 906

Selskapet har kjøpt 100 % av aksjene i Hystorsys AS ved utgangen av 2021. Oppgjøret har vært utstedelse av fordring til selgerne som senere er konvertert til aksjer i Hybrid Energy AS. Konverteringen er registrert i Foretaksregisteret 31.01.2022. Samlet oppgjør for aksjer og lån til Hystorsys AS utgjør kr 25 millioner.

Det er styrets oppfatning at det foreligger betydelige merverdier utover den bokførte egenkapitalen i datterselskapet. Hystorsys AS besitter en patentert og kostnadseffektiv teknologiløsning rundt komprimering av hydrogen som muliggjør lagring av hydrogen under meget lavt trykk. Teknologien er anvendelig både industrielt og for privat bruk. Med høye energikostnader og stadig økende krav om redusert bruk av fossile brennselskilder gir teknologiløsningen til Hystorsys en meget sterk markedsmessig konkurransefordel fremover.

Note 12 Fortsatt drift

I samsvar med regnskapsloven bekreftes det at forutsetningen om fortsatt drift er lagt til grunn ved utarbeidelsen av regnskapet.

Selskapets finansielle risiko er først og fremst knyttet til den generelle markedsutviklingen og selskapets evne til å sikre tilgang til ny likviditet dersom det skulle være nødvendig. Selskapet har en betydelig vekst i sin anbudsmasse og selskapet forventer at man vil inngå viktige leveranseavtaler i nær fremtid. Selskapet vil også lansere en betydelig produktforbedring som vil muliggjøre en økning i temperatur fra dagens meget konkurransedyktige 120 grader til 140 grader. COP (Coefficient of Performance) øker med 5 % som bidrar til ytterligere energibesparelse for kunden. Standardisering og redesign, samt etablering av ny underleverandør viser opptil 50 % redusert produksjonskostnad for selskapets system. Dette vil øke konkurransekraften betraktelig i et marked som er i sterk vekst. Siden selskapet fortsatt er i en tidlig kommersialiseringsfase er det risiko for at forventet salg blir forsinket eller ikke gjennomført iht. forventede vilkår. Dette kan medføre at selskapet vil ha behov for ytterligere likviditet for å kunne betjene sine forpliktelser.

Selskapets største eier, Norsk Innovasjonskapital AS, har akseptert en aksjeoverdragelse til Nordic Technology Group AS som har iverksatt tiltak for å sikre ytterligere likviditet til selskapet dersom det er behov for det, men endelig utfall av en slik transaksjon vil være beheftet med usikkerhet rundt både gjennomføringstidspunkt og verdi. Avhengig av likviditetsutvikling i selskapet de neste tolv måneder, kan det være behov for ytterligere finansiering fra Nordic Technology Group AS og det er en risiko for at denne finansieringen ikke er tilgjengelig eller må inngås med betingelser som er til ugunst for eksisterende aksjonærer.

Til generalforsamlingen i Hybrid Energy AS

Uavhengig revisors beretning

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert Hybrid Energy AS' årsregnskap som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav, og
  • gir årsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til fortsatt drift

Vi gjør oppmerksom på note 12 i årsregnskapet hvor det angis at risikoen for forsinkelser i forventet salg eller at salg ikke gjennomføres i henhold til forventede vilkår, kan medføre behov for tilførsel av likviditet. Det angis videre at aksjene i selskapet vil bli overdratt til Nordic Technology Group AS. Potensiell ny eier har iverksatt tiltak for å sikre ytterligere likviditet til selskapet dersom behov oppstår, men det angis i note 12 at endelig utfall av en slik transaksjon vil være beheftet med usikkerhet knyttet til gjennomføringstidspunkt og verdi. Det angis også i note 12 at det er risiko for at denne finansieringen ikke er tilgjengelig eller må inngås med betingelser som er til ugunst for eksisterende aksjonærer. Disse forholdene og andre omstendigheter som er beskrevet i note 12, indikerer at det foreligger en vesentlig usikkerhet som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Vår konklusjon er ikke modifisert som følge av dette forholdet.

Styrets og daglig leders ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlige for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik internkontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg:

  • identifiserer og vurderer vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i regnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes utilsiktede feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av internkontroll.
  • opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontroll som er relevant for revisjonen, for å utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets interne kontroll.
  • evaluerer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige.
  • konkluderer vi på hensiktsmessigheten av ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen ved avleggelsen av årsregnskapet, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, og hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det eksisterer vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i årsregnskapet, eller, dersom slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, at vi modifiserer vår konklusjon. Våre konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet inntil datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapet ikke fortsetter driften.
  • evaluerer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet i årsregnskapet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet gir uttrykk for de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde.

Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen og til hvilken tid revisjonsarbeidet skal utføres. Vi utveksler også informasjon om forhold av betydning som vi har avdekket i løpet av revisjonen, herunder om eventuelle svakheter av betydning i den interne kontrollen.

Andre forhold

Selskapet har ikke behandlet skattetrekksmidler i samsvar med bestemmelsene i skattebetalingsloven § 5-12.

Regnskapsprinsipper

Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og NRS 8 - God regnskapsskikk for små foretak.

Driftsinntekter

Inntektsføring ved salg av varer skjer på leveringstidspunktet. Tjenester inntektsføres etter hvert som de leveres.

Skatt

Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 22 % på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reverseres i samme periode erutlignet og nettoført.

Anleggsmidler

Anleggsmidler omfatter eiendeler bestemt til varig eie og bruk. Anleggsmidler er vurdert til anskaffelseskost. Varige

driftsmidler balanseføres og avskrives etter driftsmidlets levetid.

Klassifisering og vurdering av omløpsmidler

Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld omfatter normalt poster som forfaller til betaling innen ettår etter balansedagen, samt poster som knytter seg til varekretsløpet. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste verdi av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi.

Fordringer

Kundefordringer og andre fordringer oppføres til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning til tap gjøres på grunnlag av en individuell vurdering av de enkelte fordringene.

lovkrav, og

Noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et
sammendrag av viktige
regnskapsprinsipper.

av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31.
desember 2021 og av dets resultater
for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne
datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens
regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Styret og daglig leders ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon.

Årsberetning 2021 for Mosshydro AS

Virksomhetens art og hvor den drives

MossHydro AS virksomhet består i utvikling og markedsføring av filtre som benyttes i prosessanlegg for vannbehandling. Hovedvirksomhet er utvikling av filtre for sjøvann der produktene til MossHydro vil være en komponent i et overordnet system for slik vannbehandling.

Administrasjonen er lokalisert i Drammen og produksjonen i Åmål, Sverige.

Analyse av årsregnskapet og sentrale risikoer og usikkerhetsfaktorer I 2021 ble omsetningen 6% lavere enn i 2020. Selskapets salg i 2021 ble NOK 33 634 528 og regnskapet viser et driftsresultat på NOK 7 689 470 før avskrivninger og finansposter. Dette er lavere enn budsjettert og skyldes i hovedsak nedgang i ordreinngang fra ballastvann. Ettermarkedssalg og salg til andre segmenter har generelt høyere marginer enn salg til ballastvann.

Samlede investeringer for 2021 i varige driftsmidler var på NOK 1 980 139 hvorav ca 80% gjelder produktutvikling. Dette er en reduksjon fra tidligere år,men investeringene i produktutvikling utgjør en relativt høy andel av omsetningen. Dette skyldes at selskapet er i en oppbyggingsfase og selskapets planer er å redusere produktutvikling noe i forhold til omsetning etterhvert som selskapet vokser.

Kostnader for produktutvikling i 2021 er aktivert og balanseført. Regnskapsmessige avskrivninger er gjennomført for hele året for kommersialiserte produkter. Produktutvikling avskrives fra tidspunktet prosjektet er fullført eller ved første kommersielle leveranse.

Egenkapital andelen per 31.12.2021 var NOK 20 288 430 mot NOK 15 199 076 per 31.12.2020. Den likviditetsmessige stillingen ved årsskiftet var tilfredsstillende.

Regnskapet for 2021 er oppgjort med etårsresultat før skatt på NOK 5 281 679 som er en forbedring sammenlignet med et årsresultat før skatt på NOK 3 765 490 i 2020. Resultatdisponeringen er vist i noten som omhandler egenkapital i årsregnskapet.

Driftsresultat før avskrivninger og finansposter (EBITDA) EBITDA utgjorde NOK 7 689 470 for 2021 mot NOK 5 718 346 for 2020.

Redegjørelse for foretakets utsikter

Selskapet lagt en strategi for å etablere salg i aquakultur, drikkevannsproduksjon og industri. Selskapet har også intensivert arbeidet med å etablere ettermarkedssalg og 30% av salget i 2021 var til ettermarked for produkter solgt i perioden 2014-2020. Dette er over målsetning om å øke andelen ettermarkedssalg i 2021 til 25%. Selskapet målsetter andelen ettermarkedssalg i 2022 til 25%.

For å bedre konkurransekraften i ballastvannsmarkedet har MossHydro utviklet et kompaktfilter og er med dette blitt en av få leverandører som kan tilby 2 alternative teknologier for filtrering av ballastvann. Som resultat av dette har flere toneangivende systemleverandører meldt interesse for å sertifisere sine anlegg med MossHydro. Kompaktfilteret ble tilgjengelig for leveranser i løpet av 2020 og har fått uventet god mottakelse i segmenter utenfor ballastvann. En stor del av salget i 2021 er kommet etter introduksjon av denne teknologien.

Finansiell risiko

Selskapets finansielle risiko er bl.a. knyttet til valutasvingninger. Vareforbruket som utgjør ca 80% av selskapets produksjonskostnader betales etter en fast prisliste i NOK som konverteres til SEK på dato for levering til MossHydros kunde og utgjør en moderat valutarisiko. Salget i USD og EUR erøkende og kan på sikt utgjøre en større valutarisiko, men inntil videre har en stor del av salget vært i NOK. Materialpriser vil over tid også påvirke selskapets finansielle risiko ved at ordretaking og leveranse kan skje med opptil 18 måneders tidsavvik. Selskapet vil vurdere valutasikring når andelen salg i EUR og USD kommer over 50%.

Leveringsvilkår i kundekontrakter dekker til en viss grad svingninger i materialkost ved at det betales en andel på forskudd som kan benyttes til å sikre materialpriser.

Utestående fordringer til kunder som kun baserer sin virksomhet på ballastvann anses å ha en betydelig kredittrisiko. Utestående fordringer til kunder i øvrige markeder som selskapet betjener, som i stor grad består av rederier, aquakultur, drikkevannsrensing og annen industri vurderes å ha en lavere kredittrisiko.

Likviditetsrisikoen anses å være betydelig ved aten stor andel av varekost utgjøres av materialinnkjøp og ledetider for produksjon normalt er 2-3 måneder.

Selskapets lån er iNOK. Selskapets politikk er at en ikke skal binde rentene på langsiktige lån. Det vil ikke få alvorlige følger for selskapet om lånerenten stiger betydelig.

Fortsatt drift

Etter styrets oppfatning gir det fremlagte resultatregnskap og balanse med tilhørende noter fyllestgjørende informasjon om selskapet og et rettvisende bilde av selskapet og stillingen ved årsskiftet.

Det bekreftes at forutsetningen om videre drift er lagt til grunn ved utarbeidelsen av regnskapet.

Vesentlig hendelse etter balansedagen, krigsutbrudd i Ukraina

Urolighetene i det østlige Europa og krigsutbruddet i Ukraina har ført til generelt økte materialpriser. Særlig nikkelprisen har økt og fordi dette er en viktig bestanddel i legerte stål er det etablert noe usikkerhet om fremtidige innkjøpskostnader til produksjon av MossHydro filtre. Selskapet har søkt å redusere eksponeringen ved å knytte leveringsbetingelser til materialpriser i nye ordre.

Selskapet har ikke sett eller mottatt varsler om redusert ordreinngang som følge av økningen i materialpriser.

Likviditetssituasjonen er ikke endret etter krigsutbruddet.

Eiendelene i selskapet er enten IP eller utstyr anskaffet til produktutvikling med 5 års avskrivning og det er ikke grunnlag for å verdsette disse på nytt etter krigsutbruddet.

Arbeidsmiljø

Arbeidsmiljøet anses som godt. Det er registrert et sykefravær i 2021 på 6 dager.

Det er ikke gjennomført spesielle tiltak for å bedre arbeidsmiljøet i 2021. Det er ikke rapportert om skader eller ulykker på arbeidsplassen.

Selskapet hadde pr.31.12.2021 5 ansatte. I perioden 2014-2020 kjøpte selskapet alle sine årsverk fra ulike konsulentselskaper. Fra 2021 er det meste av konsulentbruken avsluttet og selskapet har i hovedsak egne ansatte. Vi mener at det ikke gjøres forskjeller på medarbeidere på grunn av etnisitet, nasjonal opprinnelse, avstamning, hudfarge, språk, religion eller livssyn. Selskapet har likestilling som politikk og det har ikke vært nødvendig å gjennomføre tiltak for å oppnå likestilling.

Styrets sammensetning er 3 menn, 0 kvinner.

Selskapets virksomhet forurenser ikke det ytre miljø.

Styreansvarsforsikring

Selskapet har tegnet Styre- og ledelsesansvarsforsikring. Forsikringen dekker styrets, daglig leders og ledende ansattes rettslige personlige erstatningsansvar for for skade på tredjemanns person, ting eller formuesskade som forårsakes ved utførelsen av vervet.

Note 1 Regnskapsprinsipper

Årsregnskapet består av resultatregnskap, balanse og noteopplysninger. Notene er følgelig en integrert del av årsregnskapet. Årsregnskapet er utarbeidet i samsvar med regnskapsloven og NRS 8 God regnskapsskikk for små foretak, med mindre noe annet er angitt. Det er gitt noteopplysninger utover kravene som gjelder for små foretak.

DRIFTSINNTEKTER

Selskapet selger filtre som benyttes i prosessanlegg for vannbehandling. En liten del av salget gjelder tjenester knyttet til levering av varene.

Inntektsføring ved salg av varer skjer på leveringstidspunktet, som er tidspunktet det vesentligste av risiko og kontroll er overført til kjøper. Risiko og kontroll for varer som selges anses overført når varene er pakket og klar for opphenting på spesifisert sted. Bare unntaksvis avtales det andre leveringsvilkår. Tjenester inntektsføres etterhvert som de leveres.

Inntekter vurderes til virkelig verdi av vederlaget, netto etter fradrag for merverdiavgift.

SKATT

Selskapet følger ikke unntaksregelen for små foretak om balanseføring av utsatt skattefordel. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reverseres i samme periode er utlignet. Utsatt skattefordel på netto skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som ikke er utlignet og på skattemessig underskudd til framføring, balanseføres i den grad det er sannsynlig at skattefordelen kan utnyttes gjennom framtidige skattepliktige overskudd. Ved usikkerhet om det er mulig å utnytte den utsatte skattefordel vil den ikke bli balanseført. Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter periodens betalbare skatt og endring utsatt skatt.

KLASSIFISERING OG VURDERING AV ANLEGGSMIDLER OG LANGSIKTIG GJELD

Anleggsmidler omfatter eiendeler bestemt til varig eie og bruk. Anleggsmidler er vurdert til anskaffelseskost. Varige anleggsmidler balanseføres og avskrives etter en fornuftig avskrivningsplan. Anleggsmidlene nedskrives til gjenvinnbart beløp ved verdifall som forventes ikke å være forbigående. Gjenvinnbart beløp er det høyeste av netto salgsverdi og verdi i bruk. Verdi i bruk er nåverdi av fremtidige kontantstrømmer knyttet til eiendelen. Nedskrivingen reverseres når grunnlaget for nedskrivingen ikke lenger er til stede. Langsiktig gjeld med unntak av andre avsetninger balanseføres til nominelt beløp på etableringstidspunktet.

VARIGE DRIFTSMIDLER

Varige driftsmidler balanseføres og avskrives over driftsmiddelets levetid dersom de har antatt levetid over 3 år og har en kostpris som overstiger NOK 15 000. Direkte vedlikehold av driftsmidler kostnadsføres løpende under driftskostnader, mens påkostninger eller forbedringer tillegges driftsmiddelets kostpris og avskrives i takt med driftsmiddelet.

IMMATERIELLE EIENDELER

Immaterielle eiendeler som balanseføres er patenter, utgifter til etablering av patenter og kjøp av patenter fra andre, samt produktutvikling, egne timer og prototyper knyttet til produktutvikling. Selskapet har i 2021 drevet med utvikling og testing av større kompaktfiltre.

Utgifter til egen utvikling balanseføres i den utstrekning kriteriene i NRS 19 Immaterielle eiendeler er oppfylt. Det innebærer at slike utgifter balanseføres når, og fra, det tidspunkt det er sannsynlig at de fremtidige økonomiske fordelen knyttet til eiendelen vil tilflyte selskapet og anskaffelseskost kan måles pålitelig. I motsatt fall kostnadsføres slike utgifter løpende.

I samsvar med forenklingsreglene for små foretak kostnadsføres faste tilvirkningsutgifter løpende.

Balanseførte immaterielle eiendeler avskrives lineært over forventet økonomisk levetid. Verdien av

forskning og utvikling er avhengig av at teknologien kan settes i kommersiell drift. Ingen nedskrivningsindikatorer ble avdekket pr. 31.12.2021.

KLASSIFISERING OG VURDERING AV OMLØPSMIDLER OG KORTSIKTIG GJELD

Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld omfatter normalt poster som forfaller til betaling innen ett år etter balansedagen, samt poster som knytter seg til varekretsløpet. For gjeld er analoge kriterier lagt til grunn. Første års avdrag på langsiktig gjeld klassifiseres likevel ikke som kortsiktig gjeld. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste verdi av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi. Kortsiktig gjeld balanseføres til nominelt beløp på etableringstidspunktet.

VARER

Selskapets varelager består av varer til testprodukter, ferdige egentilvirkede varer og ferdigvarer. Varer vurderes til det laveste av anskaffelseskost etter FIFO-prinsippet og virkelig verdi (netto salgsverdi). Anskaffelseskost for ferdig tilvirkede varer og varer under tilvirkning omfatter variable tilvirkningsutgifter og består av innkjøpte materialer og direkte og indirekte produksjonskostnader.

Virkelig verdi for varer under tilvirkning er beregnet ved å ta utgangspunkt i salgsverdien for ferdigvaren. Salgsverdien er deretter redusert med beregnede gjenstående variable tilvirkningsutgifter og nødvendige utgifter for å gjennomføre salget. Dette tilsvarer anskaffelseskost for omarbeiding av de lagerførte produktene til dagens standard.

FORDRINGER

Kundefordringer og andre fordringer oppføres til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning til tap gjøres på grunnlag av en individuell vurdering av de enkelte fordringene.

PENSJONSFORPLIKTELSER

Selskapet har innskuddsbasert pensjonsordning. Pensjonsordningen er finansiert gjennom innbetalinger til forsikringsselskap. Selskapet har ingen ytterligere betalingsforpliktelse etter at innskuddene er betalt. Innskuddene regnskapsføres som lønnskostnad.

OFFENTLIGE TILSKUDD

Selskapet mottar Skattefunn fra det offentlige og dette defineres som investeringstilskudd til prosjektutvikling. All mottatt støtte nettoføres mot aktivert utvikling på mottakstidspunktet for at det skal bringe overensstemmelse mellom anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi, samt at dette anses som rettvisende bilde av prosjektutviklingen. I de tilfeller der mottakstidspunktet avviker fra utviklingstidspunktet føres beløpet enten som kortsiktig gjeld (forhåndsutbetaling) eller en fordring (etterskuddsvis betaling). Tilskuddene resultatføres som reduserte avskrivninger. Enkelte utgifter til Skattefunn-prosjektet tilfredsstiller ikke kriteriene om balanseføring som immateriell eiendel. Ved slike tilfeller klassifiseres andel av Skattefunn-tilskudd som kostnadsreduksjon.

Note 2 Lønnskostnader og ytelser, godtgjørelser til daglig leder, styret og revisor

I perioden 2014-2020 kjøpte selskapet alle sine årsverk fra ulike konsulentselskaper. Fra 2021 er det meste av konsulentbruken avsluttet og selskapet har i hovedsak egne ansatte.

Avskrivninger skjer etter lineær avskrivningsplan.

Den økonomiske levetiden for aktivert produktutvikling og patenter er sjablonmessig satt til 5 år, men den reelle økonomiske levetiden er sannsynligvis lenger. Selskapets konkurrenter selger fortsatt flere produkter med konstruksjoner fra 1960-tallet og ettermarkedet fra konkrete leveranser varer normalt 20-30 år. Bransjen bruker ofte en del tid på å adaptere nye produkter, men er konservative når de først har funnet noe som fungerer i en applikasjon. Forventet samlet inntjening av pågående forskning og utvikling motsvarer medgåtte samlede utgifter. Samlede utgifter til utvikling i året er NOK 1 980 139.

Lånet fra Innovasjon Norge er et serielån og har flytende rente som beregnes etterskuddsvis. Avdrag nedbetales halvårlig med NOK 781 250 hvor siste avdrag er planlagt betalt 10.11.2025. Det er 1. prioritets pant i driftstilbehør på NOK 10 000 000, varelager NOK 10 000 000,

factoring NOK 10 000 000 og enkle pengekrav NOK 10 000 000.

Det foreligger i tillegg et særvilkår om at låntaker ikke skal gi lån, utbetale utbytte, gi konsernbidrag eller betjene eventuelle ansvarlige lån med renter og avdrag uten skriftlig forhåndssamtykke fra Innovasjon Norge.

Note 7 SkatteFUNN

Selskapet har fått godkjent et prosjekt under SkatteFUNN-ordningen. Prosjektet er å anse som prekompetivt utviklingsarbeid.

SkatteFUNN medfører et fradrag i betalbar skatt på NOK 771 412 for 2021 og NOK 1 029 035 for 2020, men siden selskapet ikke har betalbar skatt i året fremgår dette som en kortsiktig fordring i balansen.

Uavhengig revisors beretning

Uttalelse om årsregnskapet

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert MossHydro AS' årsregnskap som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav, og
  • gir årsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Øvrig informasjon

Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlige for informasjonen i årsberetningen. Øvrig informasjon omfatter informasjon i årsrapporten bortsett fra årsregnskapet og den tilhørende revisjonsberetningen. Vår konklusjon om årsregnskapet ovenfor dekker ikke informasjonen i årsberetningen.

I forbindelse med revisjonen av årsregnskapet er det vår oppgave å lese årsberetningen. Formålet er å vurdere hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig inkonsistens mellom årsberetningen og årsregnskapet og den kunnskap vi har opparbeidet oss under revisjonen av årsregnskapet, eller hvorvidt informasjon i årsberetningen ellers fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har plikt til å rapportere dersom årsberetningen fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har ingenting å rapportere i så henseende.

Basert på kunnskapen vi har opparbeidet oss i revisjonen, mener vi at årsberetningen

  • er konsistent med årsregnskapet og
  • inneholder de opplysninger som skal gis i henhold til gjeldende lovkrav.

Ledelsens ansvar for årsregnskapet

Ledelsen er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik internkontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg:

  • identifiserer og vurderer vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i regnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes utilsiktede feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av internkontroll.
  • opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontroll som er relevant for revisjonen, for å utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets interne kontroll.
  • evaluerer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige.
  • konkluderer vi på hensiktsmessigheten av ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen ved avleggelsen av årsregnskapet, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, og hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det eksisterer vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i årsregnskapet, eller, dersom slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, at vi modifiserer vår konklusjon. Våre konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet inntil datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapet ikke fortsetter driften.
  • evaluerer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet i årsregnskapet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet gir uttrykk for de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde.

Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen og til hvilken tid revisjonsarbeidet skal utføres. Vi utveksler også informasjon om forhold av betydning som vi har avdekket i løpet av revisjonen, herunder om eventuelle svakheter av betydning i den interne kontrollen.
