NTG GROUP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS

NTG Group had consolidated revenues of NOK 26.9 million in 2H 2024 compared to NOK 15.2 million in 2H 2023. The revenues in 2H 2024 derives mainly from Hammertech AS (around NOK 11.7 million) and MossHydro AS (around NOK 14.6 million). Total operating expenses ended at NOK 170.2 million compared to total operating expenses of NOK 114.0 million in 2H 2023. Main increase in total operating expenses is due to write-down of intangible assets of NOK 33.6 million related to CondAlign AS and around NOK 10.6 million related to increase in the NTG Group´s payroll related expenses.

Net operating loss for 2H 2024 amounts to NOK 143.3 million, of which NOK 60.7 million is related to depreciation and amortization expenses compared to a net operating loss in 2H 2023 of NOK 98.8 million, of which NOK 57.7 million was related to depreciation and amortization expenses.

The consolidated NTG Group´s cash balance on 31 December 2024 is around NOK 4.8 million compared to around NOK 10.1 million on 31 December 2023. Current assets as of 31 December 2024 is around NOK 41.3 million and current liabilities is NOK 84.6 million compared to NOK 53.0 million and NOK 62.6 million respectively on 31 December 2023. Total assets on 31 December 2024 are around NOK 448.9 million, of which NOK 396.1 million is related to intangible assets compared to assets of NOK 659.1 million, of which NOK 515.7 million was related to intangible assets on 31 December 2023. The main change is due to amortization of goodwill of around NOK 105.6 million and write-down of financial investment in CrayoNano AS of around NOK 81.0 million

As of 31 December 2024, the Group companies have non-current liabilities of around NOK 64.6 million, primarily related to convertible loans, credit facilities with banks, project financing and innovation loans with other institutions compared to around NOK 28.9 million on 31 December 2023.

Net cash outflow from operating activities during 2024 was NOK 67.3 million compared to a net cash outflow of NOK 88.5 million in 2023. The net cash outflow from investing activities was NOK 32.7 million compared to a net cash flow from investing activities of NOK 14.2 million in 2023. The net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 94.7 million compared to a net cash flow from financing activities of NOK 29.8 million in 2023. The main deviation in cash flow from financing activities is due to capital raises, both equity and convertible loans in the Group companies.

The book value of equity on 31 December 2024 was NOK 299.8 million corresponding to an equity ratio of around 66.8% compared to around NOK 567.6 million (86.2%) on 31 December 2023.

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

NTG Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. As of 31 December 2024, NTG Group has written down around NOK 81.0 million related to the full book value of its financial investment in CrayoNano AS due to bankruptcy and around NOK 33.6 million in goodwill related to CondAlign AS. For Wavetrain Systems AS, Hammertech AS and Hystorsys AS, no requirement for impairment testing is required as the market values are assumed to be higher than the book values based on third party valuations and equity transactions in the companies.

However, the board and management want to emphasize that there will always be a significant uncertainty surrounding the estimates of the actual obtainable and realizable assets in the NTG's balance sheet should that be required.

GOING CONCERN

It is the opinion of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer that the 2H 2024 financial statements and financial positions provide a true and fair view of the development, risks and results of the parent company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2024. The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer confirms that the 2H 2024 financial statements are prepared in accordance with the going concern assumption and has taken this into account when preparing the financial statements. There have been no other circumstances after the end of 31 December 2024 that are of importance when assessing the groups position besides what is informed under events after the balance sheet date.

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

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

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

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

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

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

Nordic Technology Group AS NOTES

(Amounts in NOK 1000)

General and basis for preparation

Nordic Technology Group AS (NTG) was incorporated in March 2021 as a limited liability company organized under Norwegian law and with a governance structure based on Norwegian corporate law and other regulatory requirements. NTG has its headquarters located in the municipality of Oslo, Norway. The condensed interim financial statements for the period ending on 31 December 2024 have been prepared on accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act (NGAAP) and generally accepted accounting principles. The accounting principles applied in preparing the interim financial statements are consistent with the annual report for 2023. The interim financial statements are unaudited.

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

It is the opinion of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer that the 2H 2024 financial statements and financial positions provide a true and fair view of the development, risks and results of the parent company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2024. The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer confirms that the 2H 2024 financial statements are prepared in accordance with the going concern assumption and has taken this into account when preparing the financial statements.
