New business: Data Quality Ultrasound

Business and development overview:
ContextVision's strategic expansion into data quality represents a significant development beyond its established expertise in medical image quality. This new business area, named Data Quality – previously referred to as POCUS, emphasizes organ-specific applications that extend beyond traditional imaging enhancement, integrating AI-driven insights and multiparameter digital biomarkers for early disease detection and monitoring. Our venture into data quality ultrasound is specifically targeting chronic disease management, with an initial focus on liver conditions such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), a condition with critical diagnostic needs.

Financial information
Revenue
In 2024, net sales decreased 1.2% amounting to MSEK 130.7 (132.2). The change was due to uncertain market conditions that affected our customers.
ContextVision is affected by changes in exchange rates for EUR, USD, and JPY against SEK, as the company's billing is mainly in these currencies while most of the costs are in SEK, followed by USD and EUR. The company does no longer hedge its currency exposure. In 2024, changes in exchange rates had an overall flat impact on net sales. A financial risk policy established by the board provides the framework for how the company manages financial risks. See note 25 for details on sensitivity analysis.
Operating result
In 2024, the operating result decreased to MSEK 29.8 (40.0), corresponding to an operating margin of 22.8 percent (30.3). The result in 2024 is lower than the result in 2023, due to increased costs in general in 2024 related to investments in future growth areas.
Personnel
At year-end, ContextVision had a total of 40 (40) employees in the group, of which 37 were employed in Sweden, two in the United States and one in China. Of the total of 40 employees at year-end, 15 work in research and development, 16 in sales, marketing, and customer
support, and 9 in management, administration, and regulatory affairs. The average number of employees in the group during 2024 was 36 (36) people. ContextVision's development office is located in Linköping, Sweden, and the sales and marketing office is in Stockholm, Sweden. On average, 31 percent of the company's employees were women in 2024, and 69 percent were men.
Personnel costs for research and development amounted to MSEK 14.0 (13.1) during the year. During the year, ContextVision capitalized on development costs with MSEK 0.0 (0.1), of which MSEK 0.0 (0.0) related to capitalized personnel costs. A central part of ContextVision's strategy is a strong focus on innovation, and through investments in research and development, the foundation is laid for the next generation of products. In 2024, ContextVision continued to invest in both existing and future products.
Incentive program
In 2011, the board and management of the company introduced an incentive program for all employees by establishing a profit-sharing foundation. The program's aim is to create common goals for all employees by setting aside a portion of the company's surplus to a profit-sharing foundation, provided that certain defined goals are achieved. The goals are related to sales, customer relationships, product development, and research projects. The funds in the profit-sharing foundation are invested in ContextVision's shares.
For the period 2020-2023, the foundation had acquired 402,301 shares in ContextVision and held 790 shares in Inify Laboratories as of
December 31, 2024. In accordance with the foundation's rules, the shares from 2019 allocation (a total of 20,300 ContextVision shares and 2,030 Inify Laboratories shares), were sold during 2024, and the return from the sale was distributed to the employees.
In November 2024, a decision was made at an extraordinary general meeting to initiate the liquidation of the foundation successively the coming four years and introduce a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The LTIP is implemented as an incentive program for senior executives and other employees. The purpose of the incentive program is to encourage personal, longterm ownership in the company. The conditions of the incentive program are based on Context-Vision's EBITDA performance and total shareholder return during the period 2025-2027. Allotment will be made in 2025.
Financial position
ContextVision's balance sheet total was MSEK 130.3 (109.6) as of December 31, 2024, and the equity ratio was 72.4 percent (71.0 percent). The change in the consolidated balance sheet total and equity ratio is primarily explained by a positive result, partly offset by a share buy-back of MNOK 8.1 during the year. At the end of the year, short-term receivables amounted to MSEK 32.6 (33.1), mainly comprising customer receivables. ContextVision has no loans.
Cash flow and liquidity
In 2024, the cash flow from operating activities decreased to MSEK 32.9 (44.7). The decrease is mainly explained by lower operating profit and higher income tax paid. The cash
flow from investment activities amounted to MSEK -4.8 (-6.0). Investments in tangible fixed assets amounted to MSEK -3.7 (-0.7) and deposits amounted to MSEK -1.2 (0.0). The cash flow from financing activities amounted to MSEK -11.9 (-22.5). In December 2024 a share buy-back was made of MNOK 8.1, corresponding MSEK 7.9. The cash flow for the year amounted to MSEK 16.2 (16.3), and as of December 31, 2024, the Group's liquid funds amounted to MSEK 74.4 (58.1).

As of December 31, 2024, 15 employees were engaged in research and development, corresponding to 38 percent of the total number of employees.
During 2024 no development expenses have been capitalized.
Expenses related to research undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge in the Group's operations are expensed as incurred. Development projects where knowledge and understanding gained from research and clinical experience are directed towards producing new products, are recognized as intangible assets only when
the product development meets the requirements for capitalization according to IAS 38, see note 1 for further information.
Depreciation
In 2024, total depreciation decreased to MSEK 8.6 (8.8). Depreciation on leased assets amounted to MSEK 4.8 (4.5), depreciation on capitalized development expenses for continued operations amounted to MSEK 2.7 (3.3), and depreciation on equipment to MSEK 1.1 (1.0).
The depreciation period for development expenses is five years, and linear depreciation is applied over the useful life from the time the product is launched. Regarding all capitalized development expenses, value in use has been calculated to ensure it does not fall below the book value.
Period's results and earnings per share
Profit after tax amounted to MSEK 24.7 (32.7), which means that earnings per share amounted to SEK 0.32 (0.42). The tax expense for the year amounted to MSEK -6.7 (-8.5).
The Group and the Parent Company
The Group consists of the Parent Company ContextVision AB (publ) and the wholly-owned American subsidiary ContextVision Inc.

Risks and uncertainties
ContextVision's major risk factors include business risks connected to the general global financial situation, to the level of healthcare investment on different markets, currency exchange risks, the company's ability to recruit and keep qualified employees and the effect of political decisions.
Consolidations within the medical industry occur on a regular basis which may change the customer's situation. Besides consolidations, new players enter the market and challenge the established actors. The trends above represent both threats and opportunities for Context-Vision.
Operational risks
The operational risks are mainly identified as a dependency on major customers, where approximately 77 percent of the company's revenue is generated from the 10 largest customers.
Seasonal or productional variations
The company is in general not affected by seasonal variations, but highly dependent of the production rate and product cycles of its customers. If customers are for example delayed in the launch of a new product/system there will be a corresponding delay in their purchase of software licenses.
The sales process for new products and upgrades is usually very long, as the process for integration of a new product into the customer's production line must be adapted to the customer's overall plans and resource allocation.
Macroeconomic and geopolitical risks
ContextVision is exposed to macroeconomic factors and geopolitical risks. These include increased inflation and interest rates as well as geopolitical tensions. Increased inflation and interest rates may cause a recession or affect customers' willingness to buy products due to reduced demand, but also influence financing costs in general. Geopolitcal conflicts could potentially create an instability on the market, affecting customers' production and sales.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine has affected the company. We have stopped all marketing to the Russian market and deliver no licenses to Russia at this time. We have so far had limited contact with our customers in Ukraine, but deliver licenses to one Ukrainian customer.
Research and development
ContextVision develops advanced and specialized software for image enhancement, and the company assumes the risk during the research and product development phase. The management performs continuous project follow-ups and quality assurance to minimize the associated risks.
The ability to follow the market trends and identify new market needs is crucial. This is continuously analyzed within product teams as well as management. Close collaborations with customers also contribute to identifying and analyzing upcoming needs and trends.
Personnel
The company is dependent on highly qualified employees, which could be considered as a risk factor when it comes to key employees. Since ContextVision during the latest years have invested in development of new technology, the company is dependent on its ability to recruit, develop and keep skilled employees.
Financial risks
A financial policy adopted by the Board of Directors constitutes the framework for how the company manages financial risks. The company has clear mandates and limits for financial activities.
The Group's financial instruments consist of cash and bank deposits, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term liabilities relating to operations. See note 25 for further information on financial risks.
Interest rate risk
The Group's market risk exposure relates only to holdings at bank accounts, why the interest rate risk is limited to changes in the market interest rate. The interest rate risk is very low.
Currency risk
During 2024 the invoicing in EUR represented about 62 percent (61) of total invoicing, the invoicing in USD represented about 24 percent (26), and the invoicing in JPY represented 13 percent (13). The Group does not hedge its foreign currency exposure and does not foresee any major changes in the distribution between currencies during the coming year compared with 2024.
Since all sales are invoiced in foreign currencies, while the main part of the costs is in SEK, the company is sensitive to currency exchange rates. The Group does not currently hedge its foreign currency and does not plan to enter into new hedging contracts.
Please refer to note 25 for further details regarding the sensitivity analysis.
Credit risk
In connection with the signing of a customer agreement, an individual assessment of the solvency of that customer is conducted. When there is some concern as to a customer's solvency, a letter of credit or pre-payment is used. Existing customers' solvency is regularly monitored and evaluated to detect any changes in credit risks well in advance.

ContextVision presents certain financial measures in the financial statements that are not defined under IFRS. ContextVision believes that these measures provide useful supplementary information to investors and the management as they allow for evaluation of the ContextVision's performance. Because not all companies calculate the financial figures in the same way, these are not always comparable to measures used by other companies. These financial measures should therefore not be considered to replace those by IFRS.

Corporate Governance Report
ContextVision AB (publ) is registered in Sweden and is controlled by its Articles of Association according to the Companies Act in Sweden. Since 1997, the company's share is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker CONTX and operates under Oslo Stock Exchange rules & regulations. ContextVision complies with the majority of applicable guidelines and procedures, which are stipulated in the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance, issued October 17, 2018. The deviations are explained in this document.
This Corporate Governance Report includes the measures implemented for the efficient management of and control over ContextVision's operations. The Board of Directors and the executive management of ContextVision are dedicated to managing shareholders' and other stakeholders' demands for effective business operations, which shall be run independently by the Board of Directors and the executive management.
Business
The company shall carry on the development, production, marketing, and sales of products for digital images, aiming at increasing the value of the images or sequences of images through image enhancement or image analysis. Corporate values and ethical guidelines have been updated and documented. In general, being a company providing products and solutions in the health care market, we are driven by the patients' best interests. If there are reasons to believe that certain actions do not follow our corporate values or involve other unethical
behaviour related to the company's activities, there are procedures in place to address such issues.
Equity and dividends
The company is to have an equity capital at a level appropriate to its objectives, strategy and risk profile. Presently the strong cash balance is appropriate to fund the future growth ambitions. The Board of Directors is regularly informed of the equity to ensure it is on an appropriate level.
Equal treatment of shareholders and transactions with close associates
ContextVision has only one share class, whereby all shares have equal voting rights. Transactions carried out in own shares are managed by a third party through the stock exchange. The company employs the services of Norne Securities AS who acts as market maker for the company's shares. The function of the market maker is to ensure liquidity is maintained in the company's shares. The market maker guarantees to buy or sell shares within certain limits, according to sales orders and purchase orders on the market, without affecting the market pricing of the share. The operation of the market maker is surveyed by the Oslo Stock Exchange.
Executive management and Board members are instructed and obliged to notify the Board if they have any material interest in any transactions entered by the company.
There are three individual shareholders, representing 10 percent or more each of the company, see table on page 40 for details.
Freely negotiable shares
There is no form of restriction of the negotiability of the shares in the company's articles of association.
Annual General meeting
The General Meeting is the company's supreme decision-making body. Notice of General Meeting is distributed four to six weeks before the date of the meeting by announcement at the stock exchange and in Swedish press, along with e-mailed invitations to shareholders. Enclosed is the procedure a shareholder must observe in order to participate and vote at the General Meeting. All information related to the General Meeting is kept available at the company's offices and is also provided on the company's website. The Articles of Association stipulate, and the Swedish Companies Act regulates the annual General Meeting according to Swedish law.
The Chairman of the General Meeting is elected by the General Meeting; this is considered sufficient to ensure the independence of the Chairman. The code of practice recommends the use of a nomination committee, which the Board does not intend to do. Because of the relatively strong shareholder concentration, a nomination committee is considered ineffective. In ContextVision nomination of members of the Board is handled by the Chairman of the Board.
There is no specific audit committee within ContextVision. Such a committee is regarded inefficient, taking into account of the small size of the company. To comply with the rules of the Swedish Companies Act, the company has chosen to let the Board as a whole perform the tasks required of the Audit Committee.
ContextVision's Corporate Governance structure

The AGM is to be held within six months of the end of the fiscal year to resolve matters including adoption of the income statement and balance sheet, as well as the allocation of profit. There are no special provisions regarding the function of the General Meeting in either the Articles of Association or in shareholder agreements. There are no specific rules in the company's Articles of Association for the procedure of electing or dismissing Board members, nor for changing the Articles of Association.
Board of Directors:
Composition and independence
According to its Articles of Association, the Board of Directors should have three to seven members, with a maximum of four deputies. The present Board consists of four members. Members of the Board of Directors serve for a term of one year and are elected at the AGM. The Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance states that at least two of the members of the Board should be independent of the company´s main shareholders. The Board consists of two large shareholders, together with the Chairman and one more Board member who are both independent.
The work of the Board of Directors
The Board of Directors' principal obligations include providing strategic guidance for the company, monitoring the executive management to ensure its effectiveness, monitoring the company's financial situation, ensuring the company's accountability towards its shareholders and providing appropriate communication to its shareholders and other stakeholders. The rules of procedure for the Board of Directors control the scope and proceedings of the body's obligations. The rules of procedure govern that an annual plan for the work of the coming year
shall be settled at the last Board meeting of the fiscal year. The same meeting shall include an evaluation of the work performed by the Board of Directors during the fiscal year. The rules of procedure are reviewed at the board meeting directly following the AGM. The rules of procedure for the CEO are likewise reviewed at this meeting. The rules of procedure emphasize the clear internal allocation of responsibilities and duties. The company has a general system of internal control with descriptions of work processes and procedures in its quality system.
The Board of Directors ensures its internal control through regular written reporting by the executive management. The CEO is present and reports at all board meetings. There are generally one to two board meetings per quarter. There are no specific committees within the Board, such as an audit committee or remuneration committee. Such committees are regarded as inefficient, taking into account the small size of the company.
To comply with the rules of the Swedish Companies Act, the company has chosen to let the Board as a whole perform the tasks required of the Audit Committee.
Once per financial year, the Board carries out, through a systematic and structured process, an evaluation of the Board's work. The review is the basis for the board's future working methods.
Internal control and risk management
The role of the Board is to ensure that Context-Vision has sound internal control and continuously remains informed of, and evaluates, the effectiveness of the company's internal control system. In view of the company's limited size and operational structure, the Board, in its annual assessment of the possible need for a separate function to review the company's internal financial controls, has concluded that there is no

need for an internal audit function. The control environment underlies all other components of ContextVision's internal control and risk management. In order to create and maintain a functioning control environment for financial reporting, the Board has established a number of basic documents, including special rules of procedure for the Board and instructions for the CEO.
The Board has delegated responsibility for maintaining the Board's control environment framework to the CEO. The Board also determines the authorization instructions that delegate the CEO's authorization responsibilities to other senior executives at ContextVision. The CEO submits regular reports on the business situation and financial performance in relation to the budget and forecast to the Board and senior management. In addition, reports are also submitted by ContextVision's auditor.
The internal control also builds upon a management system based on ContextVision's organization and manner of conducting business with clearly defined roles and areas of responsibility, and delegated authority.
ContextVision has also documented the division of responsibilities within the organization through policies and instructions. Context-Vision is a process-oriented company and has integrated risk assessment with business processes. ContextVision's senior management regularly assesses risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, as well as other operational risks. Risk management is also
incorporated into each process and systematic methods are used to assess and mitigate risks, and to ensure that risks linked to the company's operations are managed in accordance with established regulations, instructions and monitoring procedures.
ContextVision's control structure includes clear roles and an effective delegation of responsibilities aimed at timely prevention of the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements. Company management has been tasked with implementing, further developing and maintaining the company's control structure. Process managers at various levels are responsible for the implementation of controls in respect of financial reporting. The closing accounts and reporting processes include checks in respect of valuations, reporting principles and estimates. ContextVision's CFO plays a key role in the internal control process by ensuring that financial reporting is accurate, timely and complete.
ContextVision has information and communication systems and processes to ensure complete and accurate financial reporting. The relevant employees are regularly informed about changes in accounting policies and reporting requirements or other information. The Board receives regular financial statements.
ContextVision's financial situation is addressed at all scheduled Board meetings. The Board and management review the financial reporting before Interim and Annual Reports are published. The auditor's duties also include an annual review of ContextVision's internal control. On at least one occasion each year the Board of Directors meets the auditor without the attendance of the CEO or any other members of company management when the auditor presents an account, and a discussion is held concerning the audit's focus and observations.
Remuneration of the Board of Directors
Remuneration of the Board of Directors is determined by the AGM and disclosed in the annual report. The annual results should not reflect the level of remuneration. As of December 31 2024, all members of the Board hold shares in the company at a total of 22 percent of the company value.
Remuneration of executive management
At ContextVision, "executive management" is the CEO of the company. ContextVision shall offer its executive management competitive remuneration based on current market standards, company, and individual performance. The remuneration program shall ensure that the executive management and shareholders share common interest. The remuneration consists of a basic fixed salary and a performance-based variable salary in line with the foundation below.
In 2011, the company set up a foundation with the idea of building a long-term incentive program for all employees in the company. Each year the company has formed operational goals, and the yearly transfer to the foundation has been based on the fulfilment of these goals. All employees, including the CEO, has a share of the foundation based only on working hours during the year. The transfer to the foundation at the beginning of each year is based on the previous year's achievements. During 2024 Context-Vision started the process to liquidate the foundation as there instead has been an installment of a Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) with allocation 2025. The liquatation will take place successively the coming four years.
The LTIP was implemented as a program for senior executives and other employees to encourage a personal long-term ownership in the company. The result of the program will be based on ContextVision's EBITDA performance and total shareholder return during 2025-2027. The program totals a maximum of 1 398 300 performance shares and the CEO may be allocated a maximum of 142 200 performance shares.
For more details on the remuneration of executive management, see note 6.
Authorizations
At the Extraordinary General Meeting on November 20, 2024, the Board of Directors were authorized to repurchase up to 3,000,000 of the company's shares, corresponding to NOK 15,000,000. The authorization may be utilized on one or several occasions, up until the Annual General Meeting in 2025.
Information and communication
The Board endeavors to provide equal, timely and accurate communication to all stakeholders. The primary channels for communication are the annual report, the quarterly interim reports, press releases and presentations for shareholders and investors. Public company information is disclosed on the web site of the Oslo Stock Exchange www.euronext.com, as well as ContextVision's own website, www.contextvision.com. A video presentation is generally organized in connection with the release of quarterly reports. The dates for such presentations are announced on the company's web site.
Take-overs
The Board of Directors shall not seek to hinder or obstruct take-over bids for the company's activities of shares unless there are specific reasons for doing so. In the event of a takeover bid for the company's shares, the company's Board of Directors shall not exercise mandates or pass any resolutions that obstruct the takeover bid unless such actions are approved by a general meeting following the announcement of the bid. Any agreement entered into between the company and the bidder that are material to the market's evaluation of the bid will be publicly disclosed, no later than at the same time as the announcement that a bid will be made, is published. In case of a take-over bid, the Board of Directors will issue a statement making a recommendation to whether shareholders should or should not accept the offer as well as arrange for a valuation of the offer from an independent expert.
Audit
The auditor serves for a period of one year at a time and is elected at the AGM. The auditor participates in a yearly board meeting in February. This occasion allows a review of any material changes in the company's accounting principles and a report on any disagreement that may have arrisen between the executive management and the auditor concerning the annual accounts. The meeting shall also include a review of the company's internal control procedures and give the auditor the opportunity to discuss matters without any member of the executive management present.
Any performance of non-audit services and payments related thereto by the auditor are monitored by the Board of Directors. The Board shall advocate for the auditor to present the framework of the company's audit to the Board on an annual basis and for the auditor to provide a yearly written statement as to whether the auditor continues to satisfy the requirements for independence.

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, which is in conjunction with the transfer of the license to the customer. After the transfer of the license, ContextVision has no further obligations related to the delivery. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts. There is no financing component in the contract because the credit period is at most 90 days, which is consistent with practice. The parts of a contract not related to the sale of licenses consist of service. The total transaction price of the contract is allocated to the separate performance commitments based on its relative independent selling prices. Revenues from respective performance commitments are recognized when the performance commitment has been met.
Financing component
The Group does not have any contracts with customers in which the period between the transfer of goods and services to the customer and payment from the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Group does not adjust transaction prices for the money's time value.
Segment reporting
In accordance with IFRS 8, segment information is provided for the Group only. The identification of reportable segments is based on the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker, which is the
CEO of ContextVision. In this internal reporting, the Group constitutes a single segment since no costs are allocated, whereby the only segment is presented in the financial statements.
Tangible and intangible fixed assets with determinable useful lives
The reported value of fixed assets is reviewed continuously for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the posted value may not be recoverable. Ongoing research and development projects are tested for impairment twice every year or when any indication of need for impairments occurs. The recoverable amount for fixed assets corresponds to the higher of the net selling price and the value in use. The value in use is estimated by discounting the expected future cash flows to their present value using a discount rate. The discount rate used in 2024 was 14 percent. A sensitivity analysis is performed with the same assumptions about cash flows for the next five years but with a pre-tax discount rate of 20 percent. No potential need for impairment was found to exist at this higher discount rate.
When evaluating possible impairments, the assessment is based on a combination of historical data, budget, and forecast information. To assess the useful life and value of fixed assets beyond the 5-year forecast period, various techniques and methods are used, including experience-based assumptions and expert judgments. If there are indications of impairment and if the carrying amount exceeds the expected recoverable amount, the assets are impaired to the recoverable amount. Completed impairment tests have shown that the Group has a good margin when it comes to recoverable values for fixed assets. The Group has a significant difference between the recoverable value and the carrying amount, providing a safety margin for the Group in the event of any future impairments.
Note 1 cont.
Development expenses
Capitalized expenditures are amortized on a straightline basis over the estimated useful life, which is 5 years.
Inventory
Inventory is valued as the lower of acquisition value and actual value.
Acquisition value is determined according to the first in, first out (FIFO) method, which means that assets in inventory at the end of the year shall be considered to be those most recently acquired.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments that is reported in the balance sheet includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities that consists of forward exchange contracts.
Classification and valuation of financial assets
Classification of financial assets is based on the Groups' business model for asset management and the character of the assets contractual cash flows.
The instrument is either classified at accrued acquisition value, fair value against other comprehensive income or fair value over the income statement.
The Groups' assets in terms of debt instruments is classified at accrued acquisition value. Financial assets classified at accrued acquisition value is initially valued at fair value with addition of transactions costs. Accounts receivable is initially recognized at the invoiced value.
After the first date of recognition, it is valued at accrued acquisition according to the effective interest rate approach. Assets classified at accrued acquisition value is held according to the business model to collect contractual cash flows that are payments of capital amounts and interest on the outstanding capital amount. The assets are included in a reservation for expected credit losses. Derivative instruments are classified at fair value over the income statement, except in the cases hedging contracts are applied.
Classification and valuation of financial obligations
Financial obligations are classified at accrued acquisition value. Financial obligations recognized at accrued acquisition value is initially valued at fair value including transaction costs. After the first date of
recognition it is valued at acquisition value according to the effective interest rate approach.
Write-down of financial instruments
The Group's financial assets, except for those that is classified at fair value through profit or loss, is subject to write-down of expected credit losses.
For accounts receivable, a simplified method is applied and the reserve for credit losses is calculated and reported based on expected credit losses for the entire remaining term. The calculation of expected credit losses is mainly based on an individual assessment of the current claim in combination with information on historical losses for similar assets and counterparties. The historical information is evaluated and adjusted continuously depending on the current situation and the expectation of future events.
The financial assets are recognized in the balance sheet at accrued acquisition value, meaning the net of gross value and provision for expected losses. Any changes in the provision for expected losses is recognized over the income statement.
Compensation to employees Pensions and other obligations to supply benefits after the end of employment
Obligations relating to old-age pensions for salaried employees in Sweden are secured by insurance. This insurance is secured by defined contribution plans that are expensed on an ongoing basis. Pension payments to employees outside Sweden are handled according to local regulations. There are no defined benefit plans in the Group.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax takes into account the tax effect of the difference between values recognized in the accounting and tax values. The Group's deferred taxes relate to leasing and untaxed reserves. In the Group, untaxed reserves are divided into deferred tax liabilities and equity.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is prepared according to the indirect method used for operations.
Leasing agreements
ContextVision has leasing agreements for various types of objects, mainly office premises (Stockholm & Linköping). The leasing agreements for the office premises are usually between 3 to 5 years. Extension and termination options are included in the contracts, as well as clauses linked to index calculation of future rental costs. ContextVision also has a number of leasing agreements with a contract duration of less than 12 months as well as leasing agreements of smaller value. For these, the Group applies the exception for short-term leases and leases with low value, which essentially consists of copiers, printers, conference equipment and computers. IFRS 16 had an effect on the balance sheet on December 31, 2024, with 10.9 MSEK in rights of use and 10.5 MSEK in lease liabilities. The difference between assets and liabilities depends on prepayments of leasing costs. An interest rate of 3 percent has been used for leasing of offices. All leasing agreements are depreciated linearly during agreement period.
Important judgments and estimates associated with accounting
Judgments and estimates related to accounting are continuously evaluated. They are based on historical knowledge and other factors as well as expected events that are likely to occur. Judgments and estimates made for accounting purposes may deviate from the actual outcome.
Impairment test of intangible assets
ContextVision evaluates on a regular basis if there are any indications of impairment for capitalized development expenses. The Group regularly analyses the need for write-down of development expenses. The evaluation means that the management makes assumptions that include estimates and assessments on each product's expected future sales and profitability level. The used assumptions are based on historical experiences from development of similar products as well as expectations on the future. See the section on Tangible and intangible fixed assets above for further details.
Capitalization of development expenses
Expenditure for development projects is recognized as an intangible asset if ContextVision demonstrates that it is technically possible to complete and profitable to commercialize the result and only if the expenditure for this project can be reliably measured. Development expenses that do not meet the
accounting criteria according to IAS 38 are expensed when they arise. Expenditures that are directly related to identifiable software products specially developed for ContextVision, which are controlled by the Group, and which are likely to generate economic benefits that exceed the costs for a period longer than one year, are reported as intangible fixed assets. The value includes all direct costs, such as office, materials, consulting services, salaries and compensation for the development staff.

The recommendation indicates which exceptions from and amendments to IFRS are to be made. The differences between the Parent Company's and Group's accounting policies are described below.
Subsidiaries and associates

Remuneration to the Board of Directors and senior executives
At the AGM in May 2023 the following guidelines regarding remuneration to senior executive in ContextVision were approved. An increase in variable compensation to a maximum of 35% of fixed annual salary and that the severance pay amounts to a maximum of twelve monthly salaries. These guidelines should include the CEO. The guidelines do not include remuneration decided by the AGM. Determination of salary and other remuneration to the Board is decided by the AGM. The guidelines shall apply to remuneration that is agreed upon, and changes made to already agreed remuneration, after the date when the guidelines were adopted by the AGM and thus have no effect on previously agreed commitments.
For more information, see Remuneration report 2024.
Guidelines for promoting the Group's business strategy, long-term interests and sustainability
Successful implementation of the Group's business strategy and assuring of the Group's long-term interests, including its sustainability, requires the Group to be able to recruit and retain qualified employees. Therefore, the Group need to offer competitive compensation. These guidelines enable senior executives to be offered a competitive total remuneration. The Group's business strategy is further described in the annual report.
Remuneration

The total cost of benefits may not exceed 15 percent of the fixed salary. The fulfilment of criteria for payment of variable compensation must be measurable over a period of one or more years. The variable remuneration shall be limited to a maximum annual payment and shall not exceed 35 percent of the fixed annual salary. Variable remuneration must be linked to predetermined and measurable criteria that can be financial or non-financial. They can also be individualized quantitative or qualitative goals. The criteria must be designed so that the main company's business strategy and long-term interests are met, including its sustainability.
Pension
Pension benefits for senior executives must comply with the Group's general pension plan, must be a defined contribution and amount to a maximum of 30 percent of the annual salary. The retirement age for the CEO is 65 years.
Termination of employment
The CEO has the right to 6 months' notice, both in the event of his own termination or in the event of termination from the Group's side. In addition, the CEO is entitled to severance pay corresponding to a maximum of twelve monthly salaries.
Salary and terms of employment for employee
When preparing the proposal for guidelines, salaries and terms of employment for the Group's employees have been taken into account and formed part of the decision basis.

The guidelines shall apply until new guidelines have been adopted by the AGM. The Board is responsible for creating proposals for new guidelines at least every four years and submitting the proposal for resolution at the AGM. The Board shall follow up and evaluate the application of the guidelines and shall prepare a remuneration report for each financial year which shall be made available on ContextVision's website no later than three weeks before the AGM.

The Group's write-down of accounts receivable is carried out in accordance with the simplified approach for reporting expected credit losses. This means that a provision for expected credit losses is booked for the remaining term, which is expected to be less than one year for all receivables above. The Group books a provision for expected credit losses based on individual assessments of receivables where known information about the counterpart and forward-looking information is taken into consideration. ContextVision writes off a receivable when it no longer can be expected to receive payment and when active measures to receive payment have been finalized.
Customers
There are two (two) individual customers representing more than 10 percent each of the total revenue during the year. The largest customer representing 19 percent (18) and the other one representing 14 percent (12) of the total revenue during 2024. By year end, there where one (two) individual customer that each represented 10 percent or more of the accounts receivable. The customer represented 41 percent (40) of the accounts receivable. The Group has had a long relation with most of the customers and consider them financially stable. The creditability of the accounts receivable is considered high.
Fair value and reported value
IFRS 13 Valuation at fair value contains a valuation hierarchy regarding input data for the valuations. This valuation hierarchy is divided into three levels:
Level 1: according to prices quoted on an active market or the same financial instrument. Level 2: based on directly or indirectly observable market data that is not included in level 1. Level 3: based on input data that is not observable in on the market.
The Group applies level 2 according to the valuation hierarchy, when valuing derivatives (forward exchange contracts) at fair value by using current market prices and currencies on the balance sheet date.
Currency risk
Transaction exposure
During 2024 the invoicing in EUR represented about 62 percent (61) of total invoicing, the invoicing in USD represented about 24 percent (26), and the invoicing in JPY represented 13 percent (13). The Group does not hedge its foreign currency exposure.
Translation exposure balance sheet
Translation exposure arises on consolidated statements when the net assets in the Group are converted to SEK. The translation differences relating to net assets in currencies other than SEK reported in other comprehensive income during the financial year were KSEK 739 (558).
Translation exposure
Only a small part of the Group's operations are conducted abroad. Therefore, the exposure to translation differences is considered limited.

Credit risk
In connection with the signing of an agreement with a customer, an individual assessment of the solvency of that customer is conducted. When there is some question as to a customer's solvency, a letter of credit or pre-payment is used.
Note 26 Related party transactions
No related party transactions have taken place during 2024. For further information about remuneration to Board Members and CEO, see note 6.
Note 27 Significant events after the year end

Our audit report was rendered on April 10, 2025 Grant Thornton Sweden AB

Authorized Public Accountant
Auditor's Report
N.B. The English text is a translation of the official version in Swedish. In the event of any conflict between the Swedish and English version, the Swedish shall prevail. To the general meeting of the shareholders of ContextVision AB (publ). Corporate identity number 556377 - 8900
Report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts Opinions
We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of ContextVision AB (publ) for the year 2024 except for the corporate governance statement on pages 35–39.
The annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the company are included on pages 28–32 and 35–59 in this document.
In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of parent company as of 31 December 2024 and its financial performance and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of 31 December 2024 and their financial performance and cash flow for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. Our opinions do not cover the corporate governance statement on pages 35–39.
The statutory administration report is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
We therefore recommend that the general meeting of shareholders adopts the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the group.
Our opinions in this report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are consistent with the content of the additional report that has been submitted to the parent company's Board of Directors in accordance with the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 11.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA) and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities section. We are independent of the parent company and the group in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
This includes that, based on the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided to the audited company or, where applicable, its parent company or its controlled companies within the EU.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters of the audit are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the current period, and include, among other things, the most important assessed risks of material misstatement. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of, and in forming our opinion thereon, the annual accounts and consolidated accounts as a whole, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Revenue recognition of license revenue
The Group's reported revenue amounts to SEK 130.67 MSEK during the financial year 2024 and consists mainly of license revenue for image enhancement to companies that manufacture imaging machines.
License revenue is recognized when control of the goods has been transferred to the customer, which coincides with delivery and the customer's approval of the goods. After delivery, the company has no further obligations related to the delivery.
The Group's revenue amounts to significant amounts, which means that this is a particularly significant area in our audit.
Information on accounting principles for revenue can be found in Note 2 in the annual report for ContextVision AB.
Other Information than the annual accounts and consolidated accounts
This document also contains other information than the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and is found on pages 2–27, 33–34 and 63–65. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for this other information.
Our opinion on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts does not cover this other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion regarding this other information.
In connection with our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, our responsibility is to read the information identified above and consider whether the information is materially inconsistent with the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. In this procedure we also take into account our knowledge otherwise obtained in the audit and assess whether the information otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If we, based on the work performed concerning this information, conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and that they give a fair presentation in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and, concerning the consolidated accounts, in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are also responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the assessment of the company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern. They disclose as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting. The going concern basis of accounting is however not applied if the Board of Directors and the Managing Director intend to liquidate the company, to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual accounts and consolidated accounts.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of the company's internal control relevant to our audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. We also draw a conclusion, based on the audit evidence obtained, as to whether any material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company's and the group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion about the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause a company and a group to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Plan and perform the group audit to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business units within the group as a basis for forming an opinion on the consolidated accounts. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and review of the audit work performed for purposes of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our opinions.
We must inform the Board of Directors of, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit. We must also inform of significant audit findings during our audit, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identified.
We must also provide the Board of Directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, actions taken to eliminate threats or safeguards applied.
From the matters communicated with the Board of Directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, including the most important assessed risks for material misstatement, and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in the auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes disclosure about the matter.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
The auditor's audit of the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director and the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss Opinions
In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also audited the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of ContextVision AB (publ) for the year 2024 and the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss.
We recommend to the general meeting of shareholders that the profit be appropriated in accordance with the proposal in the statutory administration report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the financial year.
Basis for Opinions
We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities section. We are independent of the parent company and the group in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director
The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appropriations of the company's profit or loss. At the proposal of a dividend, this includes an assessment of whether the dividend is justifiable considering the requirements which the company's and the group's type of operations, size and risks place on the size of the parent company's and the group's equity, consolidation requirements, liquidity and position in general.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the company's organization and the administration of the company's affairs. This includes among other things continuous assessment of the company's and the group's financial situation and ensuring that the company's organization is designed so that the accounting, management of assets and the company's financial affairs otherwise are controlled in a reassuring manner. The Managing Director shall manage the ongoing administration according to the Board of Directors' guidelines and instructions and among other matters take measures that are necessary to fulfill the company's accounting in accordance with law and handle the management of assets in a reassuring manner.
Auditor's responsibility
Our objective concerning the audit of the administration, and thereby our opinion about discharge from liability, is to obtain audit evidence to assess with a reasonable degree of assurance whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director in any material respect:
- has undertaken any action or been guilty of any omission which can give rise to liability to the company, or
- in any other way has acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.
Our objective concerning the audit of the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss, and thereby our opinion about this, is to assess with reasonable degree of assurance whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect actions or omissions that can give rise to liability to the company, or that the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss are not in accordance with the Companies Act.
As part of an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. The examination of the administration and the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss is based primarily on the audit of the accounts. Additional audit procedures performed are based on our professional judgment with starting point in risk and materiality. This means that we focus the examination on such actions, areas and relationships that are material for the operations and where deviations and violations would have particular importance for the company's situation. We examine and test decisions undertaken, support for decisions, actions taken and other circumstances that are relevant to our opinion concerning discharge from liability. As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors' proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss we examined whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.
The auditor's examination of the Esef report Opinion
In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also examined that the Board of Directors and the Managing Director have prepared the annual accounts and consolidated accounts in a format that enables uniform electronic reporting (the Esef report) pursuant to Chapter 16, Section 4(a) of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528) for ContextVision AB (publ) for the year 2024. Our examination and our opinion relate only to the statutory requirements.
In our opinion, the Esef report has been prepared in a format that, in all material respects, enables uniform electronic reporting.
Basis for opinion
We have performed the examination in accordance with FAR's recommendation RevR 18 Examination of the Esef report. Our responsibility under this recommendation is described in more detail in the Auditors' responsibility section. We are independent of ContextVision AB (publ) in accordance with professional ethics for accountants in Sweden and have otherwise fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director
The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation of the Esef report in accordance with the Chapter 16, Section 4 a of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528), and for such internal control that the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to prepare the Esef report without material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance whether the Esef report is in all material respects prepared in a format that meets the requirements of Chapter 16, Section 4 a of the Swedish Securities Market Act (2007:528), based on the procedures performed. RevR 18 requires us to plan and execute procedures to achieve reasonable assurance that the Esef report is prepared in a format that meets these requirements. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an engagement carried out according to RevR 18 and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the Esef report. The firm applies International Standard on Quality Management 1, which requires the firm to design, implement and operate a system of quality management including policies or procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
The examination involves obtaining evidence, through various procedures, that the Esef report has been prepared in a format that enables uniform electronic reporting of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement in the report, whether due to fraud or error. In carrying out this risk assessment, and in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, the auditor considers those elements of internal control that are relevant to the preparation of the Esef report by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of those internal controls. The examination also includes an evaluation of the appropriateness and reasonableness of assumptions made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director.
The procedures mainly include a validation that the Esef report has been prepared in a valid XHMTL format and a reconciliation of the Esef report with the audited annual accounts and consolidated accounts. Furthermore, the procedures also include an assessment of whether the consolidated statement of financial performance, financial position, changes in equity, cash flow and disclosures in the Esef report have been marked with iXBRL in accordance with what follows from the Esef regulation.
The auditor's examination of the corporate governance statement
The Board of Directors is responsible for that the corporate governance statement on pages 35–39 has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act. Our examination of the corporate governance statement is conducted in accordance with FAR's standard RevR 16 The auditor's examination of the corporate governance statement. This means that our examination of the corporate governance statement is different and substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. We believe that the examination has provided us with sufficient basis for our opinions.
A corporate governance statement has been prepared. Disclosures in accordance with chapter 6 section 6 the second paragraph points 26 of the Annual Accounts Act and chapter 7 section 31 the second paragraph the same law are consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts and are in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act.
Grant Thornton Sweden AB, Box 5756 11487 Stockholm, was appointed auditor of ContextVision AB (publ) by the general meeting of the shareholders on the 14 May 2024 and has been the company's auditor since the 4 May 2022.
