Crayon Group Holding AS Consolidated Annual Report

With increasing complex IT environments maximizing customer ROI on IT investments is not achieved by merely selling software licenses to end users. Customers need expert help to assess their current IT estate and decision making support regarding their future state environment. Further, customers require assistance with deployment and compliance requirements of the technology and software procured. Only such an end-to-end process ensures that customers capitalize on their technology investments, and maximize the ROI.

Since the foundation of Crayon in 2002, the backbone of the business has always been Software Asset Management (SAM). Similar to a tax advisor supporting its clients through the complex world of taxes, a SAM specialist supports clients though the potentially hazardous IT landscape via expert advisory, optimization and compliance engagements. SAM creates 'customer stickiness' positioning

Crayon's mission is to ensure our customers maximize their return on investment (ROI) from investments in complex technology and software spend. With operations in 21 countries we have direct access to over 75% of the worldwide IT market place and our unique people, tools and systems help customers successfully navigate a complex and potentially hazardous IT landscape.

2015 saw many significant achievements across our capabilities, service offerings, IP and global business. Our worldwide business footprint increased further with the opening of a number of new markets, including the important entry into the North American market. We launched material IP platforms to further enhance the depth and breadth of service provision to our customers and provide significant differentiation in the market and continued to strengthen both our Software Asset Management (SAM) and Cloud capabilities.

Our SAM First…Cloud First Strategy describes our fundamental belief that SAM provides the only true foundation for all intelligent IT decisions and projects, including

The global technology market is in the middle of a fundamental paradigm shift away from traditional on premise technology estates and annuity based software licensing into an era where the majority, if not all of an enterprise's IT will be delivered from a Cloud or hybrid Cloud environment. This consumption based Cloud computing is not just moving the financial impact of tech investments from CAPEX to OPEX, it provides an opportunity for technology to deliver greater competitive advantage and agility than ever before. However, the impact on the processes, procedures, tool sets and skills required by the contemporary IT function to manage and optimize this dynamic are truly profound.

'Our SAM First…Cloud First Strategy describes our fundamental belief that SAM provides the only true foundation for all intelligent IT decisions and projects, including Cloud optimization.'

In addition to the above, the proliferation of devices connectable to the Enterprise ERP is also exploding due to the irresistible demands for more flexible working and device access from the modern workforce. Over 26 billion so called smart devices are predicted to be present within the global tech market by 2020* dwarfing current levels. This will present, in our view, a compelling licensing event for the software publishers further increasing the complexity of the volume IT licensing and management environment. HIGHLIGHTS iQ

Financial Highlights Leveraging Global Operations Across the Business Platforms

Summary – Financial Highlights 2015

2015 marked a solid financial year for Crayon with significant Year over Year ("YoY") growth at the revenue and gross profit levels. Revenue grew 26% YoY from NOK 3.7 billion in 2014 to NOK 4.7 billion in 2015. Gross profit grew more than 10% YoY from NOK 826 million in 2014 to NOK 915 million in 2015. The key gross profit drivers were newly established markets growing triple digit, but also Growth Markets (France, Germany, UK and Middle East) demonstrated a solid 25% YoY gross profit in FY 2015. The Nordics, comprised of Norway (excl. HQ), Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Iceland, continued to contribute the most at the absolute level, with gross profit of NOK 685 million, 75% of the total gross profit in 2015. In 2015, the Growth Markets contributed NOK 168 million in gross profit (18% of total gross profit), and other gross profit sources were the Start-up countries

with inception points in 2014 and 2015 contributing NOK 37 million (4% of total gross profit), in addition to the US acquisitions contributing NOK 25 million (3% of total gross profit). 2015 was influenced by investments in geographic expansion, new services incl. IP and capabilities. EBITDA decreased YoY from NOK 142 million in 2014 to NOK 114 million in 2015 mainly due to significant investments mentioned above, as well as a market shift from CAPEX to OPEX based licensing as a result of the ongoing Cloud transition. EBITDA growth continued to be strong in the Nordics with NOK 177 million 2015 EBITDA signifying 8% YoY growth, which also showcases the value from the investments done in terms of new services and capabilities. France achieved positive full year EBITDA for the first time after three years of operations, which is in line with the average profitability vintage curve for the Group, and signifies the future EBITDA embedded in the geographical expansions.

Cloud Transition

Information technology is one of the most dynamic, fast-changing and competitive industries in the world, characterized by relentless cycles of innovation, consolidation and commoditization.

According to household global IT analyst firms, the global software market was worth around \$350 billion in 2015 (\$500 billion when including related outsourced services such as hosted applications, data center hosting & co-location), with a Cloud penetration of approximately 10%.

However, Cloud is growing rapidly and forecasted to represent more than 25% of the total software and services market by 2020. Key driving forces behind this trend are economies of scale and big bets made by dominant players such as Microsoft, Amazon and IBM.

To cut a long story short, there is a massive, non-reversible, technology migration trend from owned

Dear Friends of the Company,

2015 marked another significant year for Crayon. We continued to manifest our position as "the global leader on Software Asset Management (SAM)", accelerating growth across our Business Areas and strengthening our SAM and Cloud Intellectual Property through key strategic initiatives and alliances.

During this past year, I have been so proud to see our organization advance on both financial, operational, and strategic priorities, but more importantly; we have done it together as one team. In this new fiscal year, it is our commitment to increase the clear momentum that we now enjoy.

2015 highlights:

* Posted record revenues of NOK 4,688 million, translating to a revenue growth of 26% compared to the previous year.
* Welcomed around 150 new employees to the group. Out of Crayon's 900 employees, 60% of our customer facing representatives are SAM, Cloud and technical specialists.

"Our company value add, anchored on our global leadership in Software Asset Management (SAM) is truly unique. Today we deploy proven technology and IP to surgically optimize customer and partner ROI across software and Cloud technology with clear documented outcomes"

infrastructure/on-premise to Cloud computing and managed services (XaaS). As a trusted advisor to our customers, our choice is clear: Crayon needs to pursue a model of high-value Cloud expertize and related services. During 2015 we demonstrated our commitment to this model by making significant investment in Cloud resources, capabilities, tools & IP (including several acquisitions). In Q4 2015 we launched 'Cloud-iQ', our Cloud provisioning platform with billing, reporting and management capabilities targeted towards helping our channel customers (hosters, SIs and ISVs) optimize their Cloud business offerings and drive significant acceleration within that market for Crayon.

The Cloud transition has also medium to longer term implications for Crayon; Firstly, as software licensing is becoming increasingly complex due to hybrid environments and consumption based cost models, our SAM services will be increasingly valuable and important to our customers. Secondly, our addressable market

will grow significantly as boundaries in the IT spending stack are rapidly blurring between software, hardware and services. Lastly, software distribution is gradually changing from direct to indirect models (i.e., where customers buy through distributors). Crayon is among the largest indirect licensing providers globally with more than 2,500 distribution partners, and thus, is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this transformation.

SAM First

SAM is the strategic foundation for our business; Crayon's SAM capabilities are what distinguishes us from the rest of the market and our deep SAM heritage and skill sets provide the ideal foundation to all intelligent IT decision making and as such offer a truly unique value proposition to our customers. We simply call it "SAM First".

During 2015 we continued to invest heavily in our global SAM practice. We onboarded more than 100 new specialists & consultants, institutionalized our capabilities through a universal service catalogue and training programs, built new IP and launched new business concepts. In September 2015, we completed the strategic acquisition of the leading US based SAM experts Anglepoint, and with that added deep consulting experience forged within a multitude of disciplines including IP Protection, Big Data and Software Suite Development.

To elaborate on our investments in SAM tools and IP; Q4 2015 marked an important milestone for the Company with the launch of 'Elevate', a SAM tool that will revolutionize license optimization by making SAM expertize more available, and support companies to minimize risk and reduce software spend. The combination of 'Elevate' and our existing IP, such as 'Catch' (license inventory tool) and 'SAMiQ' (capability and certification tool), provides us with a strong, scalable foundation for our SAM business.

As our software and volume licensing business represents a significant share of total revenues and is a critical component of

our end-to-end service offerings. Not only has it given us access to thousands of customers and partners around the world but it has been the main vehicle for Crayon's position as "the Software Expert" earned over time by constantly demonstrating our deep complex licensing knowledge across a broad vendor base and it has given us a fantastic platform for upselling to our own portfolio of recurring services.

Accelerating Our Momentum

In 2015, Crayon Group revenue grew to NOK 4,688 million, a 26% increase compared to NOK 3,732 million in the previous year. In fact, the Company has delivered doubledigit organic revenue growth for the last nine consecutive years, and we expect to continue to deliver this level of performance into the future.

Although the overall profitability declined in 2015 (EBITDA amounted to NOK 114 million in 2015, down from NOK 142 million the previous year), this result was largely due to investments in geographical expansion required to support our customers and longer term growth objectives of the company. During the last two years Crayon has established operations in twelve new markets and therefore incurred significant start-up costs. These developing markets are following the country vintage curve for our more mature operations, and we are confident about the momentum and longer term profitability outlook in these regions. Not to forget, in 2015 the mature Nordic markets delivered a YoY EBITDA increase of +8% to NOK 177 million!

As we continue on our journey, all of us at Crayon are thankful for your ongoing confidence in the business. I feel extraordinarily privileged to work for this great company, fostered on a strong founder mentality, can-do attitude, and with such a talented group of committed people. Our employees truly do outstanding work every single day.

Our direction is clear. We remain confident in our strategy, and we have made significant progress throughout 2015. 2016 will be the year to build on our momentum!

Strengthening our SAM and Cloud Intellectual Property through key Strategic Initiatives and Alliances

SAM-iQ is a global first; a subscription based SAM as a Service (SAMaaS) offer based on a per user per month agreement structure that is specifically designed to provide a best practice framework for the establishment and maintenance of a world class enterprise wide SAM environment. SAM-iQ is a comprehensive proprietorial platform providing customers with detailed workflow management support, reporting and dashboarding and access to a huge online library of ready to use documents and procedures. In addition the unique 'services module' attached to all subscriptions provides access to Crayon's world leading SAM consulting teams who ensure that the power of the SAM-iQ platform is fully leveraged by every customer.

Cloud-iQ:

As discussed previously Crayon believe that SAM is the ideal platform for all intelligent IT decision making, including Cloud migration related projects but once a customer has made the decision to move all or part of their IT estate to the Cloud they need help in a multitude of areas, including product access and provisioning along with consumption control and deployment optimization. Cloud-iQ is Crayon's sister platform to SAM-iQ and is designed to provide an holistic Cloud management solution, allowing customers access to thousands of Cloud technology products and services which they can procure and provision in real time via the Cloud-iQ platform. Cloud-iQ also provides a comprehensive

SAM-iQ:

Crayon's deep SAM heritage and extensive expertise positions the business as a world leader in the field and the launch of the SAM-iQ platform at the end of 2015 further reinforces this unique position in the global IT market.

Increasingly the feedback from our customers has been that the practical requirements of establishing, and more importantly maintaining a world class enterprise wide SAM/ITAM environment are becoming overwhelming. This is due to multiple concurrent impacts on the IT function including the challenges of managing completely new processes and procedures driven by the dominant movement to consumption based Cloud computing and device proliferation. The divestment of IT procurement practice across almost every functional discipline within the enterprise is also impacting traditional management and control practices whilst many CIOs are experiencing a squeeze on their available skilled technical resources.

reporting and management suite of functions and is integrated with the publisher reporting console to ensure customers are always totally in control of their deployed Cloud technology across their estate.

A hugely powerful proprietary platform, Cloud-iQ was launched in Q4 2015 and currently offers comprehensive access to all Microsoft Cloud Suite technology, including access to the full catalogue of Microsoft Azure products. The process of adding other key partner technologies into Cloud-iQ is already well advanced with IBM's Softlayer offer due to go live on the platform in the first half of 2016 and we expect ultimately for Cloud-iQ to offer a true one stop shop to all the leading Cloud platform technology providers along with exclusive Cloud optimization, support and consumption management services from Crayon.

Anglepoint:

In September 2015 Crayon announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Anglepoint Group Inc. as part of a strategic investment in the privately held firm. Silicon Valley based Anglepoint are a professional services firm specializing in industry leading Software Asset Management (SAM), Data Analytics, and broad IP/IT Compliance and operates from locations in the U.S.A, UK and Singapore.

Anglepoint has accelerated our business roll out in the North American market and brings a unique perspective on IT Asset Management founded on a long

and successful history of working alongside both software and hardware vendors along with enduser organisations to bring deep licensing expertise and process optimization to organisations throughout the IT ecosystem.

With unique IP platforms, including a targeted suite of analytic and tooling capabilities, along with a high skill set professional team Anglepoint materially accelerates Crayon's SAM services delivery capabilities and differentiation across our worldwide business. Of particular note is their new Elevate platform which is designed to enhance a customer's license optimization and lifecycle management processes and take their software asset management eco-system to levels unreachable with traditional SAM tools.

Elevate isn't a standard SAM tool. It is a delivery mechanism that combines validated, actionable data with industry leading licensing expertise in order to bring our complex technology expertise closer to the everyday business needs of the contempory enterprise. It ensures our licensing optimization recommendations transparently consider the long term business plans and goals of our customers allowing them to execute with minimized risks and increased opportunities to drive an overall improvement in technology ROI. Crayon expects to rapidly deploy Elevate and other Anglepoint IP to our customers across the world as we travel through 2016 and we are excited about the opportunity this presents for our global business.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has"

Margaret Mead

The world is increasingly being globalized, and the same applies to Crayon's clients, strategic partners and vendors. In 2015, Crayon continued to invest in geographic expansion centered on Software Asset Management (SAM) and Cloud first, providing its customers and key strategic vendors global reach with local execution concentrated around value adding products and services. Crayon is now present is 21 countries, and covers more than 75% of the world's addressable software market.

Highlights

On the geographical dimension, Crayon entered USA, Switzerland and the Philippines during 2015 while ramping up newly established markets such as Spain, Portugal and Austria. The entry into the US was important for Crayon, as this is the largest IT and software market in the world yet having market characteristics focusing on transactional support only. Crayon believes that in order for clients to achieve the full potential of its technology investments they need a trusted advisor supporting them end-to-end. The response from multiple clients and key vendors in the US has been notable since inception, testimonialized with several customer wins.

Driven by amongst others consumerization of IT (e.g., bring your own device and internet of things), major investments by large players (e.g., Microsoft, IBM, Amazon) and industry demand reaching critical scale due to for instance scale advantages in data centers, increased flexibility and no aging infrastructure, the industry transformation and Cloud transition continued at an accelerating speed in 2015. In order to both capitalize on these trends and being sufficiently equipped to act as trusted advisor for existing and future clients, in today's and tomorrow's world, Crayon during 2015 invested significantly in new SAM and Cloud capabilities, both organically and through acquisitions.

In September 2015, Crayon made a strategic investment in SAM and ITAM experts Anglepoint which catalyzed Crayon's global no. 1 SAM position, and gave a strong foothold in the important US market. Anglepoint has grown rapidly since its launch in 2009 on the back of industry leading licensing and SAM expertise, complimented by a targeted suite of analytic and tooling capabilities, positioning it as a perfect partner to Crayon's extensive existing global capabilities in SAM, Cloud, and Licensing. Further, the recent strategic investment in Oslo based Puzzelpart - a leading Office 365 and SharePoint experts, and Copenhagen based Infrahouse - a leading infrastructure and Cloud consulting company in Denmark, solidifies the company's Cloud positioning.

Furthermore, Crayon is also investing in intellectual property (IP) adding additional value and bespoke services to its customers. Q4 2015 marked another milestone for the company, with the launch of the "Cloud-iQ" portal and "Elevate" SAM tool. Cloud-iQ is Crayon's scalable Cloud provisioning platform, offering best in class self-provisioning, billing and reporting capabilities targeted towards hosters, system integrators and independent service vendors (ISVs). The Elevate SAM tool supports clients in license optimization by making licensing expertize more available, in addition to helping companies to minimize risk and reduce software spend.

Given the accelerating complexity in software technology, fueled by hybrid environments with a combination of Cloud and on premise solutions in addition to increasing importance of technology as a business critical enabler, the need for SAM is higher than ever. In 2015, SAM gross profit continued to grow with close to 30% year over year (YoY). Further, the company's strategic focus towards partnering with clients in a Managed Service model has been well received by its customers, and today recurring SAM agreements represents approximately 55% of the total SAM gross profit.

Financial summary

Driven by the ongoing Cloud transition, the financial contribution within licensing is adversely affected in the short term as customers move from CAPEX to OPEX based licensing programs, resulting in profits being spread out in time. Full year 2015 gross profit for business area licensing was NOK 345 million compared to NOK 325 million in FY 2014, representing a YoY growth of 6%. The Group experienced strong positive growth from new countries within licensing, while established licensing markets in the Nordics had a negative growth of 2% YoY in 2015, signifying the ongoing transition. The Board believes the company is well positioned to capitalize on the industry transformation going forward, harvesting on the SAM and Cloud investments done. Traditional licensing players are experiencing declining profits from pure transactional activities, as both software vendors and end-customers are demanding additional value-added capabilities from their trusted Cloud licensing partners (e.g. advisory). Compared to many traditional licensing players, Crayon is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the Cloud transition with about 60% of its customer facing employees (excl. admin personnel) being advisors and consultants, which supports customers in activities that are in demand, e.g., Cloud readiness assessment, Cloud enablement & deployment and cost/consumption monitoring of the Cloud solutions implemented. This makes Crayon one of the global leaders within Cloud activities

that are in demand.

Amid the investments done and transition to the Cloud, established Nordic markets continue to represent a strong financial foundation for Crayon, with a full year 2015 EBITDA of NOK 177 million compared to FY 2014 EBITDA of NOK 164 million. After three years of operations in France, a financial milestone was achieved as the entity delivered a positive full year EBITDA. This achievement is in line with the average profitability vintage curve Crayon has experienced in other markets, and signifies the future embedded EBITDA of the geographical investments done.

When factoring the above, the Group posted another solid financial result in 2015, with sales of close to NOK 4.7 billion compared to NOK 3.7 billion in FY 2014. EBITDA² in 2015 was NOK 114 million compared to NOK 142 million in FY 2014. The decrease in EBITDA was mainly due to significant investments in geographic expansion and investments in new services and capabilities. Furthermore, the shift from CAPEX based licensing to OPEX based licensing affected the Group results negatively short-term.

The company has grown significantly over the past few of years, e.g. revenue has grown from approximately NOK 2.0 billion in 2012 to NOK 4.7 billion in 2015, and employees from c. 500 in 2012 to c. 900 in 2015. In addition, during the last couple of years Crayon has started operations in 12 new countries. Furthermore, the Information technology industry Crayon is part of is one of the most dynamic, fast changing and competitive industries in the world, characterized by relentless cycles of innovation and commoditization. Subsequently, the Board continuously strives to find the right balance in terms of protecting the core, and maintaining short-term profitability, while investing for the future. In order to achieve this, the company needs to continue its efforts on institutionalization and drive operational excellence across its operating entities, whilst being agile enough to keep pace with the dynamic industry itself. In 2015, among other initiatives, Crayon institutionalized its capabilities further through a universal service catalogue and training programs.

Nature of business and location

Crayon Group Holding AS is the holding and parent company of the Crayon Group, with headquarters in Oslo, Norway.

The Crayon Group focuses on two primary business areas: Licensing and Consultancy. Licensing sells to and supports large and medium-sized clients with their procurement and utilization of software licenses, both through the direct and indirect channel, i.e. where Crayon's customers are hosters, system integrators and ISVs rather than end users. SAM represents the core business area for Licensing. SAM is a business process designed to optimize clients' licensing costs, reduce risk attached to ownership of software, and secure compliance. The Group's clients are characterized by complex licensing arrangements where Crayon, as a trusted advisor, assists in securing optimally structured commercial agreements that comply with relevant framework conditions. Consultancy provides IT consultancy services including Cloud deployment and enablement, primarily to large and medium-sized businesses. Hence, Crayon is offering a complete end-to-end service to its clients.

The Crayon Group adopts a defined growth strategy based on a focus on profitable organic growth and strategic acquisitions in order to reinforce existing business areas.

Report from the Board of Directors 2015

Income Statement

In the year under review, the Group posted sales of NOK 4,688 million, and gross profit grew more than 10% from NOK 826 million in 2014 to NOK 915 million in 2015. The primary gross profit growth drivers were the newly established markets growing triple digit, but also the prioritized growth markets (France, Germany, UK and Middle East) demonstrated a solid 25% YoY gross profit in FY 2015. From a business area perspective, XSP¹ was the fastest growing Business Area with a gross profit growth of 57% YoY, followed by SAM with a 29% YoY growth.

EBITDA2 in 2015 was NOK 113.7 million, down from NOK 141.8 million in 2014. The Group made significant investments in growth, capabilities and service offerings centered around SAM and Cloud during the reporting period, which adversely impacted EBITDA over the short term. Furthermore, the shift from CAPEX based licensing to OPEX based licensing affected the Group results negatively short-term. Newly established markets with establishment during the period 2014-2015 contributed with a negative EBITDA of NOK 46.0 million compared to NOK -21.5 million in FY 2014. In addition, HQ investments (excl. extraordinary items) in strategic personnel to develop and roll out new capabilities and service offerings incl. IP, e.g. "Cloud IQ", contributed with a negative 2015 EBITDA of NOK 21.3 million compared to NOK -11.7 million in FY 2014. The Group has performed in line with the business development plans.

Driven by increased investing activities in 2015, the Group experienced an increase in extraordinary items from NOK 4.0 million in 2014 to NOK 16.3 million in 2015. The Group also posted an increase in depreciation and amortization in 2015, up from NOK 70.4 million in 2014 to NOK 118.4 million in 2015 primarily driven by an impairment writedown of goodwill assets of NOK 40.0 million in addition to amortization of identifiable intangible assets arising from the Anglepoint transaction and translation effects from amortization arising from foreign operations. Other financial income increased from NOK 0.01 million in 2014 to NOK 31.7 million in 2015, mainly driven by the accounting gain of the sale of Crayon Software Experts LLC and Atria Solutions Sdn. Bhd shares.

The overall result before tax in 2015 was a net loss of NOK 44.5 million (after write down of goodwill of NOK 40 million) compared to a loss of NOK 5.5 in 2014.

Balance and cashflow

The Group's cash flow from operating activities came in at NOK 45.5 million in 2015 compared to NOK 163.8 million in 2014. The total CAPEX in 2015 was NOK 34.6 million driven by investments in IT and capitalization of research and development. At the end of the year, the Group's cash and cash equivalents totaled NOK 236.3 million in 2015 compared to NOK 296.9 million in 2014. The negative cash reduction of NOK 60.6 million in 2015 compared to 2014 is mainly driven by higher investments in start-ups, M&A activity and build-up of trade working capital. The trade working capital increase experienced in 2015 compared to 2014, is primarily driven by increased operations in countries with longer payment cycles, increased service related revenue and increased direct billing to end customers. The Board continuously monitors the cash generation of the company, and will continue its efforts to maximize the cash position.

Intangible assets increased from NOK 1,020 million in 2014 to NOK 1,127 million in 2015 mainly due to the goodwill and identifiable intangible assets arising from the Anglepoint acquisition. A significant portion of the Group's balance sheet comprises of goodwill arising from the acquisition of the Inmeta Crayon Group, A Gain A/S, FAST Ltd. and Anglepoint Group, Inc. Impairment tests have been carried out, and a total write down of goodwill of NOK 40.0 million was done in 2015.

In the opinion of the Board, the Annual Financial Statements provide a true and fair view of the Group's financial position at the end of the year. In light of the ongoing industry transformation, and the significant investments done by the company, the Board is satisfied with the overall financial result and cash position in 2015. The Board deems the Group's liquidity and financing to be satisfactory.

Based on the Annual Financial Statements and the Group's performance, the Board has established a basis for the Group to continue as a going concern.

Organization, personnel and working environment

As of end of year 2015, the Group employed 862 staff, which was an increase of 166 since the start of the year. The Group is satisfied with the working environment, and continuously strives to further improve the working environment. Absence related to sickness in the Group amounted to 3.5 percent in 2015. No material personal injuries or damage to material was registered in 2015. Each year employees are offered the opportunity to

attend first-aid courses, which includes training in how to use defibrillators. The company's management have implemented an HSE course, and have drawn up an associated plan to maintain compliance with HSE issues. Employee representatives serve on the company's board. At the end of the year, 27 percent of the Group's employees were women. The IT industry in general is characterized by a low female employee percentage. Hence, the Group works systematically to improve the share of female employees at all levels. The Board of Directors comprises of six men, and two women. One of the company's objectives is to offer equal salary levels and career opportunities regardless of gender.

The purpose of the Norwegian Anti-Discrimination Act is to promote equality, safeguard equal opportunities and rights, and prevent discrimination on the grounds of ethnicity, national origin, descent, skin color, language, orientation, religion or belief. The Group endeavors to promote the objectives of the Act in its operations including with regard to recruitment, wages and working conditions, promotion, development opportunities and protection against harassment. The Group strives to be a workplace where there is no discrimination on grounds of disability.

Corporate governance

The Board has adopted general and UN global compact policies for corporate governance to safeguard the interests of the company's owners, employees and other stakeholders. These principles and associated rules and practices are intended to create increased predictability and transparency, and thus reduce uncertainties connected with the business. These principles and rules are reviewed annually by the Board. The company's internal rules of governance accord with guidelines in the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance dated 30 October 2014 ("the Code"). Driven by increased operations across the globe, the Board has increased attention and focus on good business conduct including implementation of a revised anti-corruption policy.

External environment

The company's activities do not cause any pollution or emissions that harm the external environment.

Research and development

The company continue to develop its own software solutions within the SAM and Cloud area. Research and development that is expected to generate revenue at a later date is capitalized in the balance sheet.

Equity and shareholder issues

At the reporting date, the company's share capital amounted to NOK 52 475 535, allocated to

52 475 535 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1.

Ethics

The Crayon Group's business concept is based on improving clients' competitiveness through value-increasing services and solutions.

All Crayon Group employees shall display respect and integrity in dealings with their business contacts, colleagues or others with whom they come in contact with through their work. Crayon Group does not accept any form of harassment, discrimination or other conduct that could be deemed to be threatening or demeaning.

The Crayon Group aims to provide an attractive workplace with good working conditions, a safe working environment, and to promote diversity, equal gender distribution and inclusive recruitment.

The Crayon Group's employees shall assume responsibility for the market and the society that the company serves by conducting operations to a high ethical standard and in accordance with applicable legislation. The company shall be aware of the impact of technology on society and the environment.

Risk management

The Board is keen to secure systematic and concerted management of risk in all parts of the business, and regards this as critical for long-term value creation. Growth opportunities shall always be weighed against associated risks. The Board of Directors regularly reviews the Crayon Group's risk profile. This includes risk relating to profitability, HSE, security, market, financial reporting, interest rates, foreign currency, credit and liquidity.

Foreign currency

The company is exposed to currency fluctuations due to the international nature of its operations. Major transactions in foreign currency are hedged according to policy.

As of December 31, 2015, the Group had swapped approximately 28% of its bond principal into the following currencies; GBP, EUR, SEK and DKK. There is no currency hedging related to these currency swaps because the Group has income in GBP, EUR, SEK and DKK. Hence, a natural hedge is achieved as the bond principal swapped into non-NOK currencies reflects the underlying cash generation by the Group. Further, larger transactions involving currency risk are hedged by the means of forward contracts.

Other than the above, the Group does not have any financial instruments in foreign currency beyond the ordinary trade creditors arising from ordinary operation.

Crayon Group Holding AS

Statement by the board and CEO

The Group buys most of its products in EUR, SEK, DKK and USD. The inventory is minimal, but the exchange rate on the company's key currency pairs, e.g., NOK/EUR, NOK/SEK, NOK/DKK and NOK/USD, can have an impact on the financials as the exchange rate may appreciate or depreciate in value. To counteract this, significant orders are secured by means of confirmed orders.

Interest

Liquidity

Management of liquidity risk is accorded high priority as part of measures to secure financial flexibility. The cash flow from operating activities, which is impacted by a number of factors including changes in working capital, is managed at operational level by the individual companies. The Finance Department monitors liquidity flows in its short-term and long-term reporting. The Group has significant liquid assets, as a result of which liquidity risk is deemed to be low.

The Group has adequate capitalization to secure freedom of action. In July 2014, Crayon Group Holding AS issued a NOK 650 million bond issue (initial loan amount) with a potential tap issue of up to NOK 350m, with maturity in July 2017. The bond is to be repaid in full at the maturity date. Interest is set quarterly at 3 month NIBOR + 500bps. As of December 31, 2015, 3 month NIBOR was 1.11%. The initial loan amount was mainly used for refinancing existing credit facilities in addition to provide additional financial flexibility. As of 31.12.2015 the tap issue was unused. Incurrence tests are attached to the bond.

Further, as of December 31, 2015, the Group had a credit facility of MNOK 100. The credit facility is used for working capital and other short-term financing purposes. Quarterly covenant tests are attached to the credit facility.

Group outlook

The Group's main focus will continue to be on the sale of SAM services, software licenses and associated consultancy services to clients in the Nordic region, along with the rest of Europe and, increasingly, the rest of the world. Key focus in 2016 will be to capitalize on the investments done in terms of capabilities, IP and new markets in addition to protecting its strong position in the Nordics. The Group focuses on organic growth in combination with strategic acquisitions. Based on the company's performance in 2015 and other implemented measures, together with the company's general position, the Board expects the company to continue on a continued upward trend in 2016. The Board will continue to focus on balancing profitability and growth, in addition to best position Crayon for the upcoming refinancing in 2017.

The company satisfies the conditions necessary to continue as a going concern, and the Annual Financial Statements have been prepared on this basis. There have been no events since the end of the reporting period that materially impact the presentation or interpretation of the financial statements.

Allocation of loss for the year

The consolidated accounting gain for the year came in at NOK 2.2 million. The parent company posted a loss of NOK 9.0 million. The allocation of the net gain for the year is shown in the financial statements.

Crayon Group Holding AS

Consolidated Balance Sheet as of 31.12

Crayon Group Holding AS Consolidated Cash Flow Statement

NOTE 1 – Accounting Principles

Crayon Group Holding AS is a private limited company registered in Norway. The company's headquarters are located in Sandakerveien 114A, 0484 Oslo, Norway.

The Financial Statements were presented by the Board April 28, 2016.

1.1 FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

Consolidated Financial Statements for Crayon Group Holding AS for the financial year 2015 have been prepared in accordance with International Standards for Financial Reporting (IFRS) and interpretations determined by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), effective from January 1, 2005 and approved by the European Union (EU).

The Consolidated Financial Statements are based on the principles of historical cost accounting, except for financial instruments, which are stated in the balance sheet at fair value. The Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared using uniform accounting principles for similar transactions and occurrences, under ordinarily equal conditions.

Assets/liabilities relating to the circular flow of goods and items due for payment within 1 year after the balance sheet date are classified as current assets/current liabilities. Other items are non-current.

Preparation of the Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make assessments and estimates, and to make assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and recognized amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other reasonable factors, considering the circumstances. These calculations form the basis for assessment of the book value of assets and liabilities that are not clearly apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are continuously reviewed. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period when the changes occur, if they only apply to that period. If the changes also apply to future periods, the effect will be distributed between the current period and future periods.

1.2 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The most important estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are related to impairment assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The assessment of impairment for 2015 is based on management assumptions using conservative estimates with regard to future cash flows and discount rates.

1.3 NEW AND CHANGED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

No new standards have been adopted for the first time for the financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2015 having a material impact on the Group.

IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations that have been published but not adopted

Below is a list of new standards, changes to standards and interpretations that have been published, which the Group has chosen not to adopt in the Financial Statements for 2015. These standards are not mandatory for the fiscal year 2015.

A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2015, and have not been applied in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements. None of these are expected to have a significant effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the Group, except the following:

IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments'; addresses the classification, measurement and recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The complete version of IFRS 9 was issued in July 2014. It replaces the guidance in IAS 39 that relates to the classification and measurement of financial instruments. IFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model and establishes three primary measurement categories for financial assets: amortized cost, fair value through OCI and fair value through P&L. The basis of classification depends on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity instruments are required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss, with the irrevocable option at inception to present changes in fair value in OCI not recycling. There is now a new expected credit losses model that replaces the incurred loss

Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Shareholders' Equity

impairment model used in IAS 39. For financial liabilities there were no changes to classification and measurement except for the recognition of changes in own credit risk in other comprehensive income, for liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss. IFRS 9 relaxes the requirements for hedge effectiveness by replacing the bright line hedge effectiveness tests. It requires an economic relationship between the hedged item and hedging instrument and for the 'hedged ratio' to be the same as the one management actually use for risk management purposes. Contemporaneous documentation is still required but is different to that currently prepared under IAS 39. The standard is effective for accounting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The Group has yet to assess the full impact of IFRS 9.

IFRS 15, 'Revenue from contracts with customers' deals with revenue recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of Financial Statements about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity's contracts with customers. Revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of goods or services and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the said goods or services. The standard replaces IAS 18 'Revenue' and IAS 11 'Construction contracts' and related interpretations. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2017 and earlier application is permitted. The Group is assessing the impact of IFRS 15.

IFRS 16, 'Leases' changes the accounting principles for leasing contracts and will require lessees to recognize most lease liabilities in the balance sheet together with corresponding assets. Expenses will be recognized as depreciation of the asset and interest expense of the liability rather than being classified as on operating expense. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is assessing the impact of IFRS 16.

There are no other IFRS or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

The Group has not come to any conclusion as to whether or not the new standards, changes to the existing standards or the interpretation will have any effect, but the changes are not expected to have any substantial impact on the consolidated accounts.

1.4 CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES

The Consolidated Financial Statements include Crayon Group Holding AS and its subsidiaries ICE Distribution hf and Crayon Group AS.

The following subsidiaries are 100% owned by Crayon Group AS:

Crayon Group AS also owns the following companies (% indicates ownership):

Business acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. Remuneration provided is measured at fair value of the transferred assets, liabilities incurred and issued equity instruments. Included in the remuneration is also fair value of all the assets or liabilities as a result of agreed conditions. Expenses related to the business acquisitions are recorded in the Financial Statements as they incur. Identifiable assets and liabilities are recorded in the Financial Statements at fair value at the time of acquisition. Non-controlling ownership interests in the acquired entity are measured from time to time either at fair value or at their share of the acquired entity's net assets.

If the sum of the remuneration, book value of non-controlling owners and fair value at the time of acquisition of the previous owner's interests exceeds the fair value of identifiable net assets of the acquired entity, the difference is booked as goodwill in the balance sheet. If the sum is less than the entity's net assets, the difference is immediately recognized in the profit and loss accounts.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses between Group companies are eliminated.

Financial Statements of subsidiaries are restated when necessary in order to achieve compliance with the Group principles.

1.5 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and bank deposits. The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method.

1.6 TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES

Trade receivables arise from the sale of licenses or services that are within the normal operating cycle. If settlement is expected within a year or less, the receivables are classified as current assets. If not, the receivables are classified as non-current assets.

Trade receivables are measured at fair value at initial recognition in the balance sheet. On subsequent measurement, trade receivables are valued at amortized cost using the effective interest rate minus provision for occurred losses.

1.7 INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition cost and net selling price. Net selling price is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business minus estimated cost of completion, marketing and distribution. Cost of acquisition is assigned using the average method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and costs of bringing goods to their present location.

1.8 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are measured at acquisition cost, minus accumulated depreciation and impairments. When assets are sold or disposed, the carrying value is reversed. Any gain or loss is recognized in the income statement.

Acquisition cost of property, plant and equipment is the purchase price and expenses directly related to making the asset ready for use. Expenses incurred after the asset is put to use, such as ongoing maintenance, are recognized in the income statement, while other expenses that are expected to generate future economic benefits are recognized in the balance sheet.

Property, plant and equipment are depreciated linearly over the expected useful life.

Development costs are capitalized until the product is fully developed, then depreciated over the expected useful life.

1.9 FINANCIAL ASSETS

Loans and receivables are non-derivate financial assets with fixed payments not traded in an active market. They are classified as current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets.

1.10 INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets are recognized in the balance sheet if it is likely that the expected future economic benefits attributable to the asset will accrue to the company and the asset's acquisition cost can be measured reliably.

Intangible assets with limited useful life are measured at their acquisition cost, minus accumulated depreciation and impairments. Depreciation is booked linearly over the estimated useful life. Depreciation period and method is reviewed annually. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful economic life are not depreciated, but are tested annually for impairment.

1.11 GOODWILL

The difference between acquisition cost by purchase and fair value of net identifiable assets at the time of acquisition is classified as goodwill.

Goodwill is recognized in the balance sheet at acquisition cost, minus any accumulated depreciation. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and is capitalized at acquisition cost with deduction of impairment. Impairment of goodwill cannot be reversed. Impairment of goodwill will be allocated to current cash-generating units. Allocation is made to those cash-generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition.

1.12 CONTRACTUAL CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIPS

Contractual customer relationships acquired in business combinations are recognized in the balance sheet at fair value at the time of acquisition. The contractual customer relationships have limited useful life and are stated at acquisition cost minus accumulated depreciation. Linear depreciation is carried over expected useful life.

1.13 RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Expenses related to research activities are expensed as incurred. Expenses related to development activities are capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, and the Group has adequate resources to complete the development.

Expenses capitalized include material cost, direct wage costs and a share of directly attributable overhead costs. Capitalized development costs are stated at acquisition cost minus accumulated depreciation and amortization. Capitalized development costs are depreciated linearly over the estimated useful life.

1.14 PROVISIONS

A provision is recognized when the Group has an obligation as a result of a past incident, and it is likely that there will be a financial settlement as a result of this obligation, and the amount can be measured reliably. If the effect is significant, the provision is calculated by discounting future cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects market rates and, if relevant, risks specific to the obligation.

A provision for warranties is recognized when the underlying products or services are provided. The provision is based on historical information about warranties and a weighting of possible outcomes against their associated probabilities. A provision for unprofitable contracts is recognized when the Group's expected revenues from a contract are lower than the expected costs that are assumed to be incurred to meet obligations under the contract.

1.15 EQUITY

For repurchases of own shares, the purchase price, including directly attributable costs, such as changes in equity, is recorded. Own shares are presented as a reduction of equity. Gains or losses on transactions in own shares are not recognized in the P&L. Transactions directly related to an equity transaction are recognized directly in equity net of tax.

1.16 REVENUE RECOGNITION PRINCIPLES

Revenues are recognized when it is likely that transactions will generate future economic benefits that will accrue to the company, and the amount can be estimated reliably. Revenues are presented net of VAT and discounts. Income from the sale of services is recognized when the said service is delivered.

Income from the sale of rights to use of license is recognized at the time of delivery. For the sale of licenses where the customer has signed a multiyear agreement, and where the customer pays an annual fee, the annual fee is recognized in the relevant period. In addition, the company assists its customers in entering into framework agreements with software providers for the purchase of a certain number of licenses. Crayon Group deliveries are related to assisting its customers entering into license agreements with software providers.

The income is considered earned when the agreement is signed, as the company is deemed to have delivered its service. Income related to the period is allocated over the contract period, as a result of the customer's right to change supplier during the period. Income for the year represents one year's income for the contracts where Crayon Group has been continued as a supplier. Income for one year is considered to be earned when the customer has decided to use the company for a new one-year period. The company bills the customer and receives payment from the customer, while the software vendor bills and receives payment from the company. The company hence has a risk of delinquency by the customer, whilst having a financial commitment to the supplier. The gross amount billed to the customer is therefore recognized as revenue in the Financial Statements and the purchase from the supplier appears as cost of sales.

Interest income is recognized when earned.

1.17 FOREIGN CURRENCY

Transactions in foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate on the transaction date. Monetary items in a

foreign currency are converted to NOK using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items measured at the historical rate expressed in a foreign currency are converted into NOK using the exchange rate on the transaction date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value expressed in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate determined at the balance sheet date. Changes in exchange rates are recognized in the accounting period.

Activities abroad

Assets and liabilities in foreign companies whose functional currency differs from the presentation currency are converted to NOK using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses from foreign companies are converted to NOK using the weighted average rate of exchange (if the average is not a reasonable estimate of the cumulative effects of using the transaction rate, the transaction rate is used). Foreign exchange differences are recognized in equity.

1.18 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS

Pensions

All of the Group companies have pension schemes that satisfy the provisions of the Act on mandatory occupational pensions, for all employees.

Share-based payment

There are no options or agreements on share-based payments to employees or Board Members.

1.19 GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the company will fulfill the conditions attached to the grants, and that the grants will be received. Grants are charged to the cost that the grant is intended to cover. Investment grants are capitalized and recognized in a systematic manner over their useful life. Investment grants are recognized as a deduction from the asset's carrying amount.

1.20 INCOME TAX

Tax expenses consist of taxes payable and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax/deferred tax assets are calculated on all differences between accounting and tax value of assets and liabilities, with the exception of temporary differences relating to goodwill not deductible for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is likely that the company will have sufficient taxable profit in future periods to utilize the tax benefit. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are measured based on expected future tax rates of the companies in the Group for which temporary differences have arisen. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are recognized at their nominal value and are classified as financial assets (long-term liabilities) in the balance sheet. Tax payable and changes in deferred tax are recognized directly in equity to the extent that the tax records relate to items recognized directly in equity.

1.21 SEGMENTS

Operating segments are reported in the same manner as internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources to and assessing performance of operating segments, is defined as the corporate management. In the segment reporting, internal profit on sales between the various segments is eliminated.

1.22 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND ASSETS

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the Financial Statements unless the probability of liability is high. Contingent assets are not recognized in the Financial Statements unless there is a certain probability that the benefit

will accrue in the Group.

1.23 EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE

Information regarding the company's financial position received after the balance sheet date is recognized in the Financial Statements. If the information will affect the company's future financial position significantly, it is disclosed.

1.24 USE OF ESTIMATES IN PREPARATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The management has used estimates and assumptions that affect assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and information about potential liabilities. Future events may cause these estimates to change. Estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period the change occurs. If the changes are also related to future periods, the effect is distributed over current and future periods.

Estimates and discretionary assessments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are deemed to be reasonable under the current circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The accounting estimates will therefore, by definition, rarely be in full compliance with the final outcome. The Group's most significant accounting estimates are related to depreciation of tangible assets and amortization of goodwill and intangible assets. Economic life and associated depreciation rates of tangible assets shall be determined individually for each asset. Expected life of Group assets and equipment is normally between 3 and 5 years. The Group's recorded goodwill is tested annually for impairment and possible reversal of previous write-downs. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions concerning future development in respectively incomes and expenses. Goodwill in Crayon Group Holding AS is related to its subsidiaries.

1.25 ASSET MANAGEMENT

The Group has adequate capitalization to secure freedom of action. Covenants are attached to the Group's loans. As of December 31, 2015, the Group had a credit facility of MNOK 100. The credit facility is used for working capital and other short-term financing purposes. The Group's interest-bearing debt is shown in detail in note 12.

Gross profit means operating income less direct cost, i.e. raw material and consumables.

EBIT or "operating profit" means total operating income less total operating expenses. EBITDA, when used by the company, means EBIT adjusted for one-off items (note 16), impairment of non-current assets and depreciation & amortization. EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures from other companies. The company has included EBITDA as a supplemental disclosure because management believes it provides useful information regarding the company's ability to service its debt and to fund capital expenditures, and provides investors with a helpful measure for comparing its operating performance with that of other companies.

Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and goodwill are not amortized, but are annually tested for impairment. Tangible and intangible assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that future earnings cannot justify the carrying amount. The difference between the carrying amount and recoverable amount is recognized as impairment. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. When assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels where it is possible to distinguish independent cash flows (cash generating units). Possible reversal of previous impairment of non-financial assets (excluding goodwill) is evaluated on each reporting date.

Goodwill impairments of NOK 40.0m relate to following CGUs: Consulting Norway (NOK 21.3m), Consulting Sweden (NOK 10.1m), ICE Distribution (NOK 3.3m), Crayon South-East Asia (NOK 5.2m).

In July 2014, Crayon Group Holding AS issued a NOK 650 million bond issue (initial loan amount) with a potential tap issue of up to NOK 350m, with maturity in July 2017. The bond is to be repaid in full at the maturity date. Interest is set quarterly at 3 month NIBOR + 500bps. As of December 31, 2015, 3 month NIBOR was 1.11%.

Crayon Group Holding AS has swapped approximately 28% of the bond principal into the following currencies; GBP, EUR, SEK and DKK. The outstanding bond principal (NOK) has been hedged against the aforementioned currencies reflecting the underlying cash flow of the company. The bond principal is booked as the actual value representing future liabilities based on the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Given the development of these currencies vs NOK, the total obligation to be repaid at maturity in NOK has increased by NOK 30m. Approximately 50% of the bond principal is interest hedged, and the effective interest rate for the bond as of December 31, 2015 was approximately 6.3%.

The proceeds from the initial loan amount were used for refinancing and for general corporate purposes. The proceeds from any tap issue shall be used for permitted acquisitions and for general corporate purposes of the Group. The bond was listed on Oslo Stock Exchange on December 22, 2014, and a complete listing prospectus is available at the Group's online web portal.

Crayon Group Holding AS has also established a super senior revolving credit facility of MNOK 100 with Nordea Bank ASA (as agent). The credit facility is used for working capital and other short-term financing purposes.

Both the bond and the credit facility have covenants related to financial charges and leverage ratio. As of December 31, 2015, the Group was within the limits of the covenants.

A related party is defined as being either a member of the same group, having significant influence over the entity, or being a member of the key management personnel. Relationships between related parties must be regarded as normal in business activities. Related parties are, however, in a position to make transactions with the company that would not be made between unrelated parties. A company's result and financial position could, in principle, be affected by the relationship even though, in reality, there have been no transactions with related parties. The existence of a relationship may be sufficient to affect the perception of the company's other transactions.

Crayon Group Holding AS has not engaged individuals or companies that fall under this definition in 2015.

NOTE 15 - Tax

Currency risk

The company is exposed to currency fluctuations due to the international nature of its operations. Major transactions in foreign currency are hedged according to policy.

Other than the above, the Group does not have any financial instruments in foreign currency beyond the ordinary trade creditors arising from ordinary operation.

Interest rate risk

The company's borrowings are linked to NIBOR, STIBOR, CIBOR, LIBOR and EURIBOR, which means that the company is exposed to interest rate fluctuations. Approximately 50% of the principal amount of the loan was interest hedged in 2015, while the remaining borrowings use floating interest. As a consequence of a higher interest on the company's fixed interest products compared to the floating rate, the company per 31.12.2015 has as a future liability until due date of the fixed interest products amounting to NOK 4 131k. The interest rate risk is considered to be at an acceptable level.

Liquidity risk

Management of liquidity risk is accorded high priority as part of measures to secure financial flexibility. The cash flow from operating activities, which is impacted by a number of factors including changes in working capital, is managed at operational level by the individual companies. The Finance Department monitors liquidity flows in its short-term and long-term reporting. The Group also has significant liquidity reserves available through credit facilities with its primary bank, as a result of which liquidity risk is deemed to be low.

Credit risk

The Group has historically had low losses on receivables. The Group has not experienced materially greater losses on receivables in 2015 than in previous years, however given increased operations of the Group in new markets outside the core Nordic region, which also entails different credit risk environments, the Group has intensified its efforts to collect outstanding receivables. The Group deems credit risk to be at an acceptable level.

Sensitivity

The Group has identified currency risk (foreign exchange risk, primarily with respect to EUR, SEK, DKK, GBP and USD) and floating interest rate risk as the two important financial risk factors it is exposed to. Table A below outlines how fluctuations in currency risks will affect the Group's EBITDA, while table B outlines how fluctuations in interest rate risks will affect the Group's net financial income and expenses.

Crayon Group Holding AS Balance Sheet as of 31.12

Accounting principles

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act (Norway) and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

Current assets and liabilities

Current assets and liabilities are comprised of items receivable/due within one year and items related to the circular flow of goods. Current assets are valued at the lower of cost and market value.

Tangible assets

Fixed assets are comprised of assets intended for long-term ownership and use. Fixed assets are valued at cost. Fixed assets are recorded in the balance sheet and depreciated over the estimated useful economic life. Fixed assets are written down to recoverable amount when decreases in value are expected to be permanent. Impairment losses recognized are reversed when the basis for the impairment loss is no longer evident.

Shares and subsidiaries

Shareholdings are valued at cost. If actual value is below cost value and this continues over time, the shareholdings will be depreciated. Shares in subsidiaries are also valued at cost. A specification of investments is shown in a separate note to the accounts.

Foreign currency

Transactions in foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate applicable on the transaction date. Monetary items in a foreign currency are converted to NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Nonmonetary items measured at the historical rate expressed in a foreign currency are converted into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the transaction date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value expressed in a foreign currency are converted at the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Changes to exchange rates are recognized in the income statement as they occur during the accounting period.

Cash flow

The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank deposits and other short-term, highly liquid investments.

Receivables

Accounts receivable and other receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at nominal value, minus a provision for bad debt. Provision for bad debt is determined on the basis of an individual assessment of receivables. In addition, a general provision for bad debt is made for the remaining receivables. Other receivables are valued using the same principle.

Taxes

The income tax expense is comprised of both tax payable (27%) for the period, which will be due in the next financial year, and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax is determined on the basis of existing temporary differences between booked net income and taxable net income, including year-end loss carry-forwards, calculated at 25%. Temporary differences, both positive and negative, which will be reversed, or are likely to be reversed, in the same period, are recorded net.
