This Document contains forward-looking statements relating to plans and expectations with regard to the business and operations of the Company, Crayon, the Merger and the markets in which the Company and Crayon operate. Forward-looking statements include all statements that are not historical facts, and may be identified by words such as "anticipates", "believes", "expects", "intends", "plans", "projects", "seeks", "should", "will" or "may", or the negatives of these terms or similar expressions. These statements appear in a number of places in this Document, principally in Section 1 (Risk factors), Section 3 (Description of the Merger), Section 4 (Description of Inmeta) and Section 5 (Description of Crayon) and include statements regarding the management of the Company's intent, belief or current expectations with respect to, among other things:

Numerous factors may cause the Merged Company's, the Inmeta Group's, the Crayon Group's and/or the Combined Group's actual results to differ materially from historical or anticipated results, some of which are beyond the Inmeta Group's control. Important factors that could cause those differences include, but are not limited to:

  • the possibility that various conditions to the completion of the Merger may not be satisfied or waived;
  • the risk that the Merger is not completed within the anticipated time period;
  • the Merged Company's ability to integrate successfully Crayon and the Merged Company's other recent or future acquisitions or the risk that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected;
  • the risk that the Merged Company may be subject to liabilities of which the Company is unaware;
  • the Merged Company's ability to realize the anticipated synergies and other benefits from the Merger and within the expected timeframe;
  • the Inmeta Group's and the Crayon Group's, and following the Merger, the Merged Company's ability to meet its debt service obligations;

1 RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set out in this Document, the following risk factors should be carefully considered when analyzing Inmeta and/or the Merger. The risks described below could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations of Inmeta or, following the Merger, the Merged Company (and, accordingly, all references to Inmeta or the Inmeta Group in this Section shall be construed also as references to Inmeta Crayon and the Combined Group, unless the context otherwise requires). Accordingly, the risks described herein could have a material adverse effect on the trading price of the Company's shares. The information below does not purport to be exhaustive. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial may also have a material adverse effect on the business, financial conditions or results of operations of Inmeta or, following the Merger, the Combined Group.

1.1 Risk relating to the Merged Company and its operations

Inmeta and Crayon may not be able to renegotiate all current license certifications

The operation of being a licensing reseller always involves elements of risk with respect to contractual terms and changes in market position for the various software manufactures.

The license certification that Inmeta and Crayon currently has with large software manufactures, in particular Microsoft, has and will continue to be important to the Merged Company's operations. However, some form of materially adverse incident would be required to occur in order for Inmeta to lose its license as a Large Account Reseller. If changes to, or cancellation of, this certification were to occur, or a loss of the current status as resellers of licenses of software manufactures, this could have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

Negative economic development may have material negative impact on the Merged Company's sales and profitability

Lower economic growth or a downturn in Inmeta's and Crayon's markets could have a negative effect on the Merged Company's business and profitability. This could take the form of reduced demand or losses on receivables resulting from customers' inability to pay their debts. In addition, price volatility can impact the Merged Company's operating costs. This could all have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

The Merged Company may not be able to hold on to management and other key personnel

The Merged Company's business and prospects depend to a significant extent on the continued services of its key personnel in its various business areas. Financial difficulties and other factors could negatively impact the Merged Company's ability to retain key employees. The loss of any of the members of its senior management or other key personnel or the inability to attract a sufficient number of qualified employees may have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

The employees of Inmeta and Crayon are key resources for delivering quality in the Merged Company's business processes. The loss of a large number of key people within a short timeframe may have a materially adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.


8

Risk relating to uncovered insurance

The Merged Company will maintain a level of insurance cover on its operations in line with industry standards. There will always be a risk that certain events may occur for which only partial or no indemnity is payable, which may have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

The Merged Company may lose market share due to strong competition and new competitors

The IT Services market in the Nordic region is very fragmented and competition is strong. New competitors that, in a short time frame, want to establish themselves in the market may undermine the profit potential of the Merged Company by offering services at discount prices. The failure of the Merged Company to maintain its competitiveness and respond to increased competition, may have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

The Merged Company may not be able to keep hold of key customers

Many of Inmeta's and Crayon's existing material contracts include termination clauses that allow customers to terminate contracts with short notice periods. Existing customer base contains various customers within public and private sector. Should the Merged Company lose one or more of its material customers, this may have material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

Future acquisitions, mergers or strategic alliances may adversely affect the Merged Company's financial condition

The Merged Company may not be able to effectively integrate acquired businesses or generate the cost savings and anticipated synergies from such acquisitions, which in turn may adversely affect the Merged Company's business operations, results or financial condition. In addition, acquisitions may result in unintended consequences, for example, if significant liabilities are not identified during due diligence or come to light after the expiration of any applicable warranty or indemnity periods which could have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business operations, results or financial condition.

Open source software

If the market should experience a major shift in the direction of increased demands for open source software, and reduced demands for licensed software, this may have material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

Fluctuations in foreign currency

The Merged Company will operate within the Nordic region and will be exposed to some foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to SEK, DKK and Euro. However, the impact is expected to be relatively limited as 95% of the costs, as well as all the debt, will be matched in NOK, SEK, DKK and Euro.

The Merged Company may be unable to attract a sufficient number of customers

The Merged Company may in the future not be able to attract a sufficient number of customers to generate adequate revenues to cover its operating expenses and/or service its debts. Inability to attract a sufficient number of customers may have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.


9

The future success of the Merged Company depends on continued growth in the market in which the Merged Company operates

The future success of the Merged Company's business depends on the continued growth in the market in which the Company operates and the Merged Company will operate. There can be no assurance that the current growth in the market will continue, and discontinued or reduced growth may have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

Price erosion may lead to declining profits and revenues

A majority of the Merged Company's revenues is derived from IT services. The natural evolution of technology has led to a commoditisation of these services which implies higher focus on prices and pressure on costs. The Merged Company may therefore experience declining profits and revenue despite significant growth in number of projects and clients. The Merged Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to secure growth in revenues and profit.

The Merged Company may not be able to manage growth effectively

The Merged Company's future growth and performance will partly depend on its ability to manage growth effectively. This includes, amongst others, its ability to adequately manage the number of employees, technical solutions including computer systems and software, operational efficiency, how the Merged Company is organised, and locations. Such risks include the risk of inefficiency during changing/reorganising the daily operations like moving to new locations, reorganising the operations centres, updating software or systems, hiring and training new employees. In addition, acquisitions of other companies may result in accelerated growth and demanding integration processes.

Growth may create a need for additional financial funding. The Merged Company's future capital requirements depend on many factors, including its ability to successfully enter into new customer contracts and establish long term customer contracts. To the extent that the funds that will be available to the Merged Company after completion of the Merger are insufficient to fund the Merged Company's future operating requirements, the Merged Company may need to raise additional funds through financings or curtail its growth and/or reduce its assets. The general financial market conditions, stock exchange climate, interest level, the investors' interest in the Merged Company, the existing share price of the Company, as well as a number of other factors beyond the Merged Company's control, may restrict the Merged Company's ability to raise necessary funding for future growth and/or investments to increase efficiency.

The Merged Company's failure to successfully grow its operations, and/or to handle such growth, could have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

The Merged Company may be unsuccessful in entering into new markets

The Merged Company may in the future enter into new markets, both geographically and in terms of new products and new customer groups. New market entries are associated with similar risks as those related to managing growth, and will require investments and significant resources, including management time. In the short term, new market entries may generate negative results. Unsuccessful entry into new markets could have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.


10

Delay in deliveries to customers may reduce the Merged Company's profitability

The Merged Company will be involved in a number of large deliveries and projects, many of which imply a customisation of the deliverables to the customer. Although Inmeta and Crayon has routines for quality assurance, delays in any of these projects or deliverables may materially adversely affect the Merged Company's profitability, both as a result of claims for compensation and through the increase in costs which normally result from such delays. Delays may also result in cancellation of contracts.

The Merged Company may be exposed to technical problems or other problems relating to the products and services being sold

The Merged Company provides and will provide a large variety of product and services, which also includes products and services from third party vendors. There may be situations where the customers, the Merged Company and the vendors may not agree upon the reasons for defects or claims, and that such situations may result in a costly and time consuming disputes or in other ways may affect the Merged Company's business.

The Merged Company is dependent on third parties

The Merged Company depends on third parties, such as suppliers and partners, to perform certain services to its customers. There can be no assurance that the Merged Company's suppliers and other partners will not experience problems in the future (within or outside their control), which may adversely affect the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

The Merged Company is exposed to risks associated with international operations

The Merged Company's operations in international markets is subject to risks inherent in international business operations, including, but not limited to, general economic conditions in each foreign country in which the Merged Company will operate, overlapping differing tax structures, problems related to management of an organisation spread over various countries, unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations, and longer accounts receivable payment cycles in certain countries. The materialisation of such risks may adversely affect the Merged Company's reputation, as well as its business, operating results and financial condition.

The Merged Company faces the risk of litigation or other proceedings in relation to its business

The Merged Company faces the risk of litigation and other proceedings in relation to its business. Even if the Merged Company believes it has appropriately provided for the financial effects of litigation or other proceedings, the outcomes of any litigation may differ from management expectations, exposing the Merged Company to unexpected costs and losses, reputational and other non-financial consequences and diverting management attention.

Interest rate risk

The interest rate for the Merged Company's long term debt is fixed at market level during fall 2010. Approximately 90 per cent of the long term debt of the Company is fixed rate loans.

The Merged Company's ability to pay dividends is dependent on the availability of distributable reserves

The ability of the Merged Company to pay dividends on its shares is dependent upon the availability of distributable reserves and, therefore, among other things, upon receipt by it of


dividends and other distributions of value from its subsidiaries and companies in which it has an investment.

1.2 Risk relating to the Merger

The Merger may not be completed or may not be completed in the manner described in this Document if certain conditions to Completion are not satisfied or waived

The closing and implementation of the Merger is subject to certain conditions, including without limitation, approval by the general meetings of both Crayon and Inmeta to be held on January 17 and January 18, 2011, see Section 3.3. There can be no assurance that such conditions will be met, and if they are not, the Merger may be terminated.

If the Merger is not completed and Inmeta and Crayon continue to operate as separate entities, the failed Merger process will have resulted in costs, time consumption and decisions that may not have occurred if the process was never initiated. In such a situation the continued operation of Inmeta and Crayon as separate entities may, in several ways, experience a setback compared to if the Merger process was never started.

The share price of Inmeta may also be affected if the Merger fails compared to a continued separate operation of the two companies. Also the announcement of the intention to combine Inmeta and Crayon and the following process and flow of information, may have affected the share price.

Inmeta and Crayon will incur substantial costs in connection with the Merger

Inmeta and Crayon have incurred and will continue to incur substantial costs and expenses in connection with the Merger. Moreover, management resources may be diverted in an effort to complete the Merger. If the Merger is not completed, both Inmeta and Crayon will have incurred significant costs for which they will have received little or no benefit. Furthermore, if the Merger is not completed, both Inmeta and Crayon may experience negative reactions from the financial markets, the media and its shareholders, potential investors, customers, employees and other stakeholders. Each of these factors may materially and adversely affect the trading price of the Shares and could have a material adverse effect on Inmeta's and Crayon's businesses, financial condition, operating results and/or cash flows.

Even if the Merger is completed, the Merged Company may face additional risks and challenges as a result of combining Crayon and Inmeta's existing business

Even if the Merger is completed, it may not improve, and may even adversely effect, the results of operations of the Merged Company, and the combination of Crayon and Inmeta's existing businesses may expose the Merged Company to additional risks and losses unknown as of the date of this Document. The Merged Company's ability to benefit from enhanced business opportunities is dependent on business conditions in future periods that cannot be predicted or measured with certainty.

The Merged Company cannot be certain that the combination of Crayon and Inmeta's existing businesses will result in the expected benefits from anticipated business opportunities, revenue enhancements or growth levels or that such results can be achieved in the timeframe expected. Future business conditions and events may reduce, eliminate or delay the Merged Company's ability to realize them.

Further, the growth and operating strategies for the Merged Company may not be successful. The Merged Company may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger due to integration and other challenges, including, but not limited, to:


  • complications consolidating corporate and administrative infrastructures, including information technology, communications and other systems;
  • difficulties with retaining employees;
  • inability to coordinate, marketing and other functions;
  • potential disruption of ongoing businesses or inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies which could have a material adverse effect on the ability to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors or creditors;
  • diversion of management's attention and resources from ongoing business concerns; and
  • difficulties mitigating contingent and assumed liabilities.

The inability to benefit from business opportunities, experience revenue and overall growth or to meet the expected cost of integration, or inability to achieve them within the expected timeframe, could have a material adverse effect on the Merged Company's business, operating results and financial condition.

The unaudited pro forma financial information included in this Document may not necessarily reflect what the results of operations, financial condition and cash flows of the Merged Company would have been for the same period

Inmeta and Crayon have been operating their respective business operations separately prior to the Merger. There is no prior history as a combined entity and their operations have not previously been managed on a combined basis. Furthermore, the operating and financial information for the Merged Company and the Combined Group presented in this Document has been prepared for the purpose of illustratively presenting, as far as practicable, the financial position and results of operations of the Merged Company and the Combined Group. This required the aggregation of financial information of the entities which make up the Combined Group, the elimination of intercompany transactions and balances and other adjustments. See Section 8 (Unaudited pro forma financial information) for details. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented in this Document may, accordingly, not reflect what the Merged Company's and the Combined Group's financial position and results of operations would have been had Inmeta and Crayon operated on a combined basis and may not be indicative of what the Merged Company's and the Combined Group's results of operations and financial position will be in the future.

1.3 Risk factors relating to the shares of the Merged Company

The market value of the shares of the Merged Company may fluctuate significantly and may not reflect the Merged Company's underlying asset value

The price of the Merged Company's shares may experience substantial volatility. The trading price of the shares could fluctuate significantly in response to variations in operating results, adverse business developments, interest rate changes, changes in financial estimates by securities analysts, matters announced in respect of major customers or competitors or changes to the regulatory environment in which the Merged Company is to operate. The market price of the shares could decline due to sales of a large number of the Merged Company's shares in the market or the perception that such sales could occur. Such sales could also make it more difficult for the Merged Company to offer equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that are deemed appropriate.


13

Exercise of voting rights for nominee shareholders

Beneficial owners of the shares in the Merged Company that are registered in a nominee account (e.g. through brokers, dealers or other third parties) may not be able to vote such shares unless their ownership is re-registered in their names with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) prior to general meetings in the Merged Company. The Merged Company cannot guarantee that beneficial owners of the shares will receive the notice for a general meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of their shares or otherwise vote their shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners.

Any future share issues may have a material adverse effect on the market price of the shares in the Merged Company

It is possible, however not planned, that the Merged Company in the future may decide to offer additional shares in the Merged Company in order to strengthen its capital base or for other reasons. Any offering of such shares may be made at a significant discount to the prevailing market price and could have a material adverse effect on the market price of the outstanding shares.

Shareholders will be diluted if they are unable or unwilling to participate in future equity offerings

Unless otherwise resolved by the general meeting, shareholders in Norwegian public limited companies, such as the Merged Company, have pre-emptive rights proportionate to the aggregate amount of the shares they hold with respect to any new shares issued against consideration in cash. Due to regulatory requirements under foreign securities laws or other factors, foreign investors may be unable to participate in a new issuance of shares or other securities in the Merged Company. Any investor that is unable or unwilling to participate in the Merged Company's future equity offerings will have their percentage shareholding diluted.

Certain transfer and selling restrictions may limit shareholders' ability to sell or otherwise transfer their shares in the Merged Company

The Company has not registered the Shares under the US Securities Act of 1933 or the securities laws of other jurisdictions than Norway and the Merged Company does not expect to do so in the future. Neither the Existing Shares nor the shares of the Merged Company may be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the US Securities Act of 1933) nor may they be offered or sold in any other jurisdiction in which the registration of the Existing Shares or the shares of the Merged Company is required but has not taken place, unless an exemption from the applicable registration requirement is available or the offer or sale of the Existing Shares or the shares of the Merged Company occurs in connection with a transaction that is not subject to these provisions. In addition, there can be no assurances that shareholders residing or domiciled in the United States will be able to participate in future capital increases or subscription rights.

Limitation of ability to make claims against the Merged Company

The ability of shareholders of the Merged Company, in their capacity as such, to bring action against the Company following registration of a share capital increase in the Norwegian Companies Register is severely limited under Norwegian law.


Once a capital increase relating to any shares of the Merged Company has been registered in the Norwegian Companies Registry, purchasers of those shares have limited rights against the Merged Company under Norwegian law.

Enforceability of civil liabilities

The Company is organised under the laws of Norway. Its directors will be residents of Norway, and a substantial portion of its assets will be located in Norway. It may not be possible for investors to affect service of process in their own jurisdiction on the Merged Company or any of such persons, or to enforce against them judgements obtained in non-Norwegian courts.

3 DESCRIPTION OF THE MERGER

3.1 Overview of the Merger

The Board of Directors of Inmeta and the board of directors of Crayon have, pursuant to the provisions in Chapter 13 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act, prepared a plan (hereafter the "Merger Plan") for the Merger between Crayon and Inmeta, with the latter being the surviving company.

Through the Merger, Crayon will transfer all of its assets, rights and liabilities to Inmeta.

The Merger Plan will be presented to the general meetings of Crayon and Inmeta to be held on January 17 and 18, 2011. The Merger Plan must be approved by the general meeting of both companies by at least 2/3 of both the votes cast and the share capital represented at the general meeting.

Completion of the Merger by registration in the Register of Business Enterprises is expected to occur after the two month creditor notice period, pursuant to Section 13-13 to 13-15 of the Public Limited Liability Companies Act, has expired and all other necessary conditions for completion of the Merger set out in the Merger Plan have been satisfied (see Section 3.3 "Conditions for completion of the Merger"). It is expected that the creditor notice period will expire ultimo March, 2011.

The corporate name of the Merged Company will be Inmeta Crayon ASA and the registered office and head office of the Merged Company will be at Oslo, Norway. The corporate objective of the Merged Company will be to carry on sale of computers and software, trading and consultancy business, and investments in all other economic businesses, including participating in other businesses and companies.

Incorporated by reference is the Merger Plan with enclosures (including independent expert statements and the reports from the boards of directors of the Company), cf. Section 9.3.

3.2 Background and the reason for the Merger

The rationale for the Merger is to establish a leading license and consultancy company with complementary competence and solid finances.

Both Inmeta and Crayon offers license and IT-consultancy services, and has for many years built a strong position within the software-licensing market. The Merged Company's vision is to have an international ambition, with particular focus on the Nordic market. The management of Inmeta and Crayon see that joining forces is a strategic and appropriate move in order to utilize market opportunities in a swift and suitable manner.

The Merged Company will have the Nordic region as its home market with headquarters in Oslo. This position will be a solid platform for economic growth and increased share value, as well as focusing on an accelerated growth opportunities in targeted international areas, through established businesses in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Germany.

The Merged Company will establish a larger size and scale. This will enhance the customer and partner position through a leading role within licensing and a stronger player within consulting. It is also expected that a larger company will get increased attention in the investor community.


The Merged Company is anticipated to have a stronger platform for growth. Crayon has a proven model for international expansion and it is expected that this platform can bring further growth to the Merged Company. Inmeta and Crayon are likely to deliver stronger growth together than as stand-alone companies.

Further, the Merged Company will have a strong product and service portfolio, with significant competence and supply-capacity, and a sound customer base within both the private and public sector. The Merged Company will be an important licensing reseller in the Nordic market, with an additional solid capacity within the consultancy market. The Merged Company will also have a solid position within the licensing market and will be able to play a vigorous part within modifications of customers’ use of software, including Cloud Computing. The Merged Company will become one of the ten largest Microsoft licence partners in Europe.

3.3 Conditions for completion of the Merger

Completion of the Merger shall be conditional upon the following:

  • The Merger Plan and all necessary decisions for completion of the Merger being resolved by Inmeta’s and Crayon’s general meetings.

  • All necessary approvals from government authorities being granted (including by way of expiry of relevant deadlines) on conditions that will not have a material negative impact on the financial position or future activities of the Merged Company. Approval by the Norwegian Competition Authority has been obtained as of the date hereof.

3.4 Merger Consideration, Exchange Ratio

The Merger will be carried out with Inmeta as the remaining company. The Merger is based on an agreed ratio between the value of Inmeta and Crayon of 47:53, which imply that existing shareholders in Inmeta will own 47 per cent and existing shareholders in Crayon will own 53 per cent of the shares of the Merged Company.

The exchange ratio has been determined as a result from negotiations between the two companies which were focused on inter alia the estimated relative values in the two companies. The exchange ratio has been established based upon a total evaluation of the companies' book equity, market values, their future earning potentials and the values of expected income and cost synergies which the Merger is expected to provide basis for. The assessment of future earnings potentials have been based primarily on expected EBITDA contribution to the Merged Company. In addition, the exchange ratio accounts for a net cash position of NOK 25 million in Crayon and a net debt position of NOK 20 million in Inmeta at the time of the Merger.

Existing shareholders in Crayon will receive in total 73,433,082 shares in the Merged Company, with a nominal value of NOK 0.21, as consideration for the Merger (the "Consideration Shares"), which will be issued and admitted to trading at Oslo Stock Exchange. One share in Crayon, with nominal value of NOK 1.00 gives the right to 42.0547 new shares in the Merged Company. The Consideration Shares will be issued through an increase of the share capital of the Merged Company by NOK 15,420,947.22. The share capital contribution in the capital increase will be the net equity received by Inmeta through assuming Crayon's assets, rights and obligations in accordance with the Merger Plan.

As the Consideration Shares shall be allotted in full to the shareholders of Crayon, the existing shareholders of Inmeta will not have any preferential rights to subscribe for the Consideration Shares.

The right to receive the Consideration Shares vests with the shareholders of Crayon at Completion.

18


Fractions of Consideration Shares are not issued, but will be assembled to whole shares and sold. The sales amount will be divided proportionally between those who were entitled to fractions of Consideration Shares.

The exchange ratio is based on the assumption that neither Inmeta nor Crayon distributes any dividend or other distributions to their respective shareholders prior to Completion, except that Crayon shall make a NOK 40,000,000 distribution to its shareholders as dividends and/or by way of a share capital reduction.

3.5 Lock up

It is a condition for Completion of the Merger (unless such conditions are waived in full or in part by Inmeta) that certain shareholders with key positions in the Crayon Group, shall have accepted lock up restrictions for their Consideration Shares (the “Lock Up Shares”). The Lock Up Shares are subject to the following lock up period:

Lock-up Number of Consideration Shares released
6 months subsequent to Completion One sixth
12 months subsequent to Completion One sixth
18 months subsequent to Completion One sixth
24 months subsequent to Completion One sixth
30 months subsequent to Completion One sixth
36 months subsequent to Completion One sixth

In the relevant lock-up period, said shareholders may not transfer their Lock Up Shares or in other ways dispose of such Lock Up Shares, including derivative transactions with the Lock Up Shares as underlying instrument, except to such related parties as described in the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act Section 1-5 second paragraph. The lock-up period shall be registered as an encumbrance on the Consideration Shares with VPS.

The Lock Up Shares may be registered under separate ISIN in the lock-up period. When the Lock Up Shares are released, the Merged Company shall procure that the Lock Up Shares are transferred to the same ISIN number as for the Merged Company’s ordinary shares.

3.6 Completion of the Merger, issuance and delivery of the Consideration Shares

It is expected that the Completion will take place at the end of March 2011. The issuance of the Consideration Shares will take place on Completion, and the delivery of the Consideration Shares is expected to take place at the end of March 2011. It is expected that the Consideration Shares will be admitted to listing on Oslo Børs immediately following delivery of the Consideration Shares.

3.7 Limitation on the right to own and transfer Shares

The shares in the Merged Company will be freely transferable subject to securities laws and lock up restrictions agreed to by certain shareholders, cf. Section 3.5 above. Inmeta’s Articles do not contain any provisions imposing limitations on the ownership of the Shares, nor will the articles of the Merged Company.

3.8 Interests of certain persons in the Merger

4.4 Principal markets for Inmeta

Inmeta operates in Norway and Sweden. In Norway, the Inmeta Group operates within both licensing and consulting. In Sweden, licensing has been the only business until summer 2010 when Osiris was acquired and contributed to a consulting start within the Group.

4.4.1 Licensing

Total revenue Inmeta Licensing:

Year MNOK
2009 333.6
2008 333.0
2007 274.8

The licensing division has been focused on the Norwegian market since 1993. This has enabled a steady and healthy growth, and Inmeta Licensing AS has a key position in the Norwegian licensing market, especially when it comes to Microsoft and Adobe. Microsoft's position has become more and more important, and Microsoft has been shifting their focus from a pure client based business to also include more business critical applications and systems. Microsoft has a strong partner focus as this leads to a stronger support of their products and solutions in the IT industry. This focus also makes Microsoft dependent on its partners.

The license certification that Inmeta Licensing AS has with Microsoft has been important, and will be important for this business area. With a stronger focus on other software manufactures Inmeta


Licensing AS has developed a more balanced source of licensing business in addition to the historically strong Microsoft business.

Historically, Inmeta Licensing AS has focused on the large account segment and Inmeta Licensing AS holds certifications from the key software manufactures to operate in the segment. The large account segment is still very important to the company, but focus is extended to also include licensing in the SME market. Inmeta Licensing AS is also certified as a reseller towards the hosting segment and this gives opportunities to focus also on this market which Inmeta is expecting will grow.

Inmeta Licensing is in competition with a variety of local and international resellers. Examples are Atea, Umoe, EDB Ergo, PC Ware, Insight, Crayon, HP, Dell and Fujitsu Siemens. Microsoft has made it difficult for newcomers to get the Large Account Reseller certification, and has instead put greater effort in to working closer with its existing partners. In the future it will be important to delivery more than just licensing advisory, and software asset management and relevant technology consulting will be relevant services to be competitive in the market.

4.4.2 Consulting

Total revenue Inmeta Consulting:

Year MNOK
2009 119.7
2008 68.0
2007 19.8

There are market and partner synergies by combining licensing and consulting. Inmeta wants to increasingly utilize these opportunities. Size within consulting is critical to be able to deliver services through a variation of customer requirements.

The IT consulting market is large. This leads to a variation of different vendors in the market, because of different focus and skill sets. Few companies look similar. Atea, EDB Ergo, Crayon, Accenture, Bouvet, Avanade, Cap Germini are companies that, in some parts of their business, engage in similar activities to Inmeta Consulting.

4.4.3 Geographical presence

Inmeta has offices in Oslo, Trondheim, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Ørebro. Inmeta's business in Denmark was closed down in 2008.

The following table shows the geographical distribution of revenue:

Total revenue Norway: Total revenue in Sweden: Total revenue Denmark

Treasury and funding policies

The Company is generally funded from its operational cash flows and has a conservative approach to external debt financing. Inmeta's last two acquisitions (Visiti/Esito and Osiris) have been partly debt financed to secure flexibility for future strategic opportunities that may arise, in addition to obtaining a more optimal capital structure in general.


44

Liquidity management and funding

The Company has a Group account structure in Nordea. At the end of Q3 2010, Inmeta had cash and cash equivalents of 22.7 mNOK and total interest bearing debt of 42.6 mNOK. In addition, the Company has an unutilized credit facility of 30 mNOK. Inmeta’s cash flow from operations was 15.8 mNOK per Q3 2010. Inmeta naturally experiences some seasonal variations in liquidity due to seasonality within licensing sales. August is usually the low point for liquidity, but the Company has had cash positive operations also in this month in recent years.

Funding of subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities

All subsidiaries in Inmeta generate positive operational cash flows and are self financing. The Group account structure in Nordea does however provide a buffer and secures sufficient liquidity for each of the subsidiaries.

Shareholder return

Shareholder return consists of dividends and share price development. Over time value creation should be reflected to a greater extent by share price development than through dividends. Inmeta places emphasis on paying a competitive dividend every year. Adjustments may be made in order to maintain sufficient financial resources for future growth and the Company’s capacity to pay dividends, for instance. Share buybacks or extraordinary dividends may be used to supplement ordinary dividends during periods of strong financials, due consideration being given to capital requirements for future growth. The total dividend payout reflects Inmeta’s goal to give its shareholders a competitive return, benchmarked against alternative investments in comparable companies.

7.4.2 Trend information

The Company has not experienced any changes or trends that are significant to the Company after 30 September 2010 and the date of this Memorandum. Inmeta experiences some seasonal variations within licensing sales which are highest in June and December. However, Inmeta’s increased focus on consulting has contributed to more stability in sales and profitability intra-year.

7.4.3 Working capital

In the opinion of the Company, the Merged Company has sufficient working capital for its present requirements, that is, for at least the 12 months following the date of publication of this Document.

8 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

8.1 General information and purpose of the unaudited pro forma financial information

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared to give effect to the agreed Merger whereby Crayon and its subsidiaries will be transferred to Inmeta. The unaudited pro forma financial information presented herein has been prepared on the assumption that the Merger was consummated on January 1, 2009, for purposes of the income statement for the year 2009, on January 1, 2010, for purposes of the income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and on September 30, 2010 for the purposes of the statements of financial position. Such unaudited pro forma financial information has been based on certain other assumptions that would not necessarily have applied had Inmeta and Crayon been merged as of such dates. For this purpose, the financial figures for Crayon has been redefined and re-classified according to IFRS to reflect the same accounting principles as Inmeta. The Merger will for accounting purposes be considered as a reverse acquisition, meaning that although Inmeta is the surviving legal entity, Inmeta will for accounting purposes be considered as the acquired company. Inmeta's assets and obligations will therefore be recognized at fair value in the balance sheet of the Merged Company.

The information is prepared for illustrative purposes only and describes a hypothetical situation. It does not purport to present what Inmeta's results of operations and financial position would actually have been had the Merger been effected on the dates presented. The unaudited pro forma financial information therefore does not reflect the Combined Group's actual financial position and results. The unaudited pro forma financial information must not be considered final or complete as they may be amended in future publications of the unaudited pro forma condensed information.

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not include all of the information required for financial statements under IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Inmeta as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009 and the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2010. See Section 7 (Inmeta financial information). Further, the financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Crayon as of the year ended December 31, 2009 and the unaudited financial information for Crayon included in Section 5.5 (Description of Crayon-Selected financial information).

The unaudited pro forma financial information does not represent the actual combination of the financial statements of Inmeta and Crayon in accordance with IFRS, since certain simplifications and uncertain estimates and assumptions have been made as set out below.

8.2 Unaudited pro forma financial information

The unaudited pro forma statements of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and for the financial year ended December 31, 2009, and statements of financial position as of September 30, 2010 for the Merged Company, are set out below.

As a result of rounding differences, numbers may not add up to the total.

Currency exchange rates used in Inmeta's consolidated financial statements are as follows:


Statement of income for year ended December 31, 2009, (2009 annual average rate) SEK 0.81

Statement of income for quarter ended September 30, 2010, (first quarter 2010 average rate)

8.3 Description of the pro forma adjustments

The unaudited pro forma financial information is prepared on the basis of the IFRS accounting principles applied by Inmeta. For this purpose, the financial figures for Crayon has been redefined and re-classified according to IFRS to reflect the same accounting principles as Inmeta, and no significant differences between the accounting principles applied by Crayon and those adopted by Inmeta have been identified and adjusted in the preparation of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

There has been conducted a preliminary purchase price allocation (PPA) and this has been adjusted for in the proforma balances as of September 30, 2010. The proforma adjustment included above relates to an increase in intangible assets, goodwill and deferred tax of, in aggregate, NOK 91.1 million.

The Proforma Inmeta statement of financial position after the Merger as of 30 September 2010 was prepared as a reverse acquisition, in compliance with IFRS 3 B15 - B27. A reverse acquisition occurs when the entity that issues securities (the legal acquirer) is identified as the acquirer for accounting purposes. The merger between Inmeta ASA and Crayon Group AS is classified as a reverse acquisition, i.e. the business combination shall be accounted for by assuming Crayon Group AS being the acquirer and Inmeta ASA the acquire.


49

Notes to the pro forma adjustment with respect to depreciation and transaction costs in the pro forma statements of income

The adjustments in the 2009 figures are conducted as if the transaction was completed by January 1, 2009. For the purpose of this, the intangible assets are depreciated over a period of 10 years according to expected length of the contracts. Intangible assets are estimated to NOK 89.8 million, thus the depreciation will be NOK 8.98 million for a full year. Transaction costs for both companies are estimated to NOK 10 million. The implied tax effects are adjusted accordingly.

The adjustments in the 2010 figures are conducted as if the transaction was completed by January 1, 2010. The same principles and costs as for the 2009 adjustments are followed, but depreciations for 9 months only, due to the fact that the statement of income is for YTD ending September 30, 2010.

Notes to the proforma adjustment with respect to intangible assets and goodwill

The Customer related intangible assets, i.e. contractual and non-contractual customer relationships, were identified as the one crucial group of intangible assets to be recognised in the balance sheet in compliance with IFRS 3, in addition to concessions which was recognised equal to the pre Merger carrying amount. Certain other potential intangible assets were considered but assumed immaterial. Consequently, the remaining of the excess value is recognized as goodwill and comprise among others employees, trade names, relationships with software vendors, training programs.

Notes to the proforma adjustment with respect to deferred tax

The acquisition of Inmeta was accounted for in compliance with IFRS 3. In total, NOKm 89.8 was allocated to intangible assets. According to IAS 12 (Income Taxes), a deferred tax of 28 % has to be recognized as a liability. The same amount is added to the residual goodwill.

Notes to the proforma adjustment with respect to equity attributable to Inmeta shareholders

The increase in equity attributable to Inmeta shareholders has been calculated as the difference between market value of the Shares and book value of equity as at September 30, 2010, as follows: Share value of Inmeta ASA as at September 30, 2010 (65,119,903 shares X NOK 4) being NOK 260,480,000, book value, equity Inmeta ASA on a consolidated basis as at September 30, 2010, being NOK 194,455,000, resulting in increase in equity attributable to Inmeta shareholders at September 30, 2010, of NOK 66,025,000, reflecting the market value of Inmeta ASA pre deferred tax.

Independent Assurance Report on the Pro Forma Financial Information

In accordance with EU Regulation No 809/2004 as included in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act section 7-13, we report on the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information of Inmeta ASA (and subsidiaries) (“the Company”) consisting of the unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Company as at 30 September 2010, and accompanying information and notes to the unaudited pro forma financial information, which is set out in section 8 of the Company’s Prospectus Equivalent Document, dated 17 January 2011, which is regarded as “equivalent” to that of a prospectus, pursuant to Section 7-4 no. 4 and Section 7-5 no. 5 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.

Our report also includes the Company’s Prospectus Equivalent Document about the proforma statements of income for the period 1 January to 30 September 2010, and for the year ended 31 December 2009. All statements and figures are prepared according to IFRS.

The pro forma financial information has been compiled on the basis described in section 8 in the Company’s Prospectus Equivalent Document, for illustrative purposes only, to provide information about how the merger of Inmeta ASA and Crayon Group AS might have affected the unaudited consolidated profit and loss for the period 1 January 2009 to 31 December 2009 and 1 January 2010 to 30 September 2010 as if the transaction was conducted by the 1 January in the respective year, and the balance sheet as at 30 September 2010. Because of its nature, the pro forma financial information addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not represent the Company’s actual financial position or results.
