Comment from the CEO

In 2020, we have continued the implementation of our growth strategy. We have built on our solid foundation and strengthened our existing business by leveraging and investing in our highly scalable market access platform. We have focused strongly on launches of new products and will launch new products in at least one country in each launch window going forward. We have increased value through acquisitions of products and brands. In short, we have continued our journey of building a leading Nordic pharma company, targeting growth in Northern Europe.

During the year, we have accelerated our investments in our organization and platform. We have continued building our team of category experts with deep local market knowledge, centered around our core categories medical nutrition, gastro, women's health, and obesity. We have further strengthened our already strong capabilities with regards to quality assurance, regulatory competence, digitalization, and product launches. We have strengthened our position in the Nordic healthcare ecosystem, engaging in Health Talks, keeping our dialog with key opinion leaders across markets and supporting in solving other key issues like compliance, patients dropping out of treatments.

2020 was an eventful year, with the COVID-19 pandemic impacting our societies and markets. Navamedic has monitored the situation closely and worked to limit effects on supply and demand. We have experienced some volatility for certain products like Imdur®, however offset by strong performance in our consumer health, medical nutrition and specialty pharma product categories.

With the pandemic as a backdrop, we have taken important steps in the execution of our growth strategy. We have strengthened the core and continued our push for growth in our existing portfolio and through launch of new products in our key geographies. Key growth drivers continued to be Mysimba® and Alflorex®. In 2020, Navamedic launched its patient support program for treatment of obesity, MyControl, already displaying promising results and has so far helped all participants in the pilot completing the 16-week program. In 2020, we also expanded our key gastro product Alflorex® to

several new markets, including Iceland, Denmark and the Netherlands. In addition, we entered into an exclusive distribution agreement in the Nordics and the Netherlands for ThermaCare®, a leading product in the important pain category. The Netherlands is a strategically important market for us, and in the second half of the year we saw a particularly positive development in this market as a result of growth investments made in 2020.

Securing and increasing value through ownership to products and brands are a key part of our growth strategy. In August, we completed the acquisition of marketing authorizations for a series of antibiotics for hospital use in the Nordics. The transaction strengthens our hospital and prescription drug offering, paving the way for the addition of more such products going forward.

As we embark on 2021, I am proud to say that we are following our plan of building a leading Nordic pharma company. We have a strong platform founded on leading pharma expertise and a digital approach. We have an expanding portfolio of quality products in key and growing categories. We have a highly motivated and competent team of category experts in exciting markets, and we are executing on our pipeline of opportunities to increase and secure value through M&A. We are also proud of our engaged and committed shareholders, joining us on the next stage of our journey. I am certainly looking forward to the road ahead.

5 | Annual report 2020, Navamedic ASA

Directors' report 2020

Group's result for the year

Due to the de-merger of the Medtech business in 2019, the numbers for 2019 below refer to continued operations unless otherwise stated.

In 2020, the Group reported revenues of NOK 209.9 million, up from NOK 188.8 million in 2019, representing an increase of 11.2%, mainly driven by growth in the Specialty pharma and Consumer health product categories.

The EBITDA in 2020 was negative NOK 1.3 million, compared to negative NOK 6.5 million period last year. The negative EBITDA is mainly driven by more resources spent on business development and growth initiatives.

The operating result (EBIT) in 2020 was negative NOK 4.9 million, compared to negative NOK 10.1 million in 2019. Net financials were negative NOK 7.1 million in 2020, compared to negative NOK 4.7 million last year. The result before tax was negative NOK 16.6 million in 2020, down from negative NOK 15.5 million in 2019.

The result after tax was negative NOK 16.5 million in 2020 compared to negative NOK 16.3 million last year.

The result after tax for discontinued operations was zero in 2020, while the result after tax for discontinued operations was NOK 44.2 million in 2019.

The result after tax for total operations was negative NOK 16.5 million in 2020, down from NOK 27.9 million last year.

The total comprehensive income was negative NOK 7.6 million in 2020, compared to NOK 25.6 million in 2019, following currency translation differences in the periods of NOK 8.9 million and negative NOK 4.2 million, respectively.

Group external profit and loss items related to the former Medtech division have been re-represented as "discontinued operations" for the relevant periods in 2019.

Group's cash flow 2020

The Group had a net cash flow from operating activities (total operations) in 2020 of negative NOK 3.1 million, (NOK 12.7 million), as changes in trade payables and increased inventory contributed negatively this period. Net cash from investing activities ended at negative NOK 24.9 million in 2020, compared to negative NOK 1.9 million in 2019. The net cash flow from financing activities was NOK 53.6 million in 2020, compared to negative NOK 10.9 million last year. The change in net cash from financing activities is mainly due to the share capital increase in the private placement. The cash and cash equivalents were NOK 39.6 million at 31 December 2020.

The company's financial position as of 31 December 2020

The Group's consolidated total assets were NOK 260.0 million at 31 December 2020, up from NOK 187.1 million at year-end 2019, of which non-current assets were NOK 142.2 million. Current assets increased to NOK 117.8 million from NOK 68.8 million at 31 December 2019. The increase in non-current assets is mainly related to loans to

associated company (Observe Medical ASA), while the increase in current assets is related to the increased cash at hand as a result of the private placement, and increased inventory mostly as a result of re-stocking of Imdur®.

Non-current liabilities are NOK 25.1 million per 31 December 2020, an increase from NOK 26.4 million at 31 December 2019. At the end of 2020, Navamedic had an equity of NOK 129.5 million, compared to NOK 79.2 million per 31 December 2019, representing an equity ratio of 49.8%. The increased equity is mainly due to the share capital increase in the private placement.

The Group had current liabilities of NOK 105.3 million compared to NOK 81.4 million at 31 December 2019. The increase is mainly related to trade and other payables, short term part of license liabilities, partially offset by reductions in short term liabilities to financial institutions and short term liabilities.

External assets and liabilities related to the Medtech division are presented as "held for distribution" in separate line items in the "current" sections in the consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2019. There are no assets or liabilities classified as "held for distribution" as at 31 December 2020.

Corporate social responsibility and the external environment

Navamedic is committed to ethical operations. The company complies with the laws of the countries in which it operates and runs its business operations in line with nationally and internationally recognised principles and guidelines for human and labour rights.

The company refuses to tolerate any form of corruption in its day-to-day work or in relation to business contacts. The group has guidelines for all employees on accepting gifts, benefits, or other tokens of appreciation.

Based on an assessment of the company's size, nature of its business, and available management resources, the company has not deemed it appropriate to establish other specific guidelines on fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities and preventing corruption. In the opinion of the board, the company exercises good control in this area. Any need for such guidelines will be assessed on an ongoing basis as the company grows and develops.

The company's operations have little effect on the external environment beyond that which is normal for this type of company and its operations are not particularly energy intensive.

Navamedic has taken significant steps to continuously improve our environmental focus. Through implementing a new Environmental Management System programme, the company has initiated an initiative to become ISO 14001 certified and expect the certification to be in place during the first half of 2021. The group maintains a continuous focus on minimising its negative environmental impact through routines for reducing paper and energy consumption, increasing the efficiency of waste sorting, increasing recycling and the reuse of electronic waste, as well as limiting travel activities.

All employees are encouraged to report internally if they are concerned about the group's integrity or identify breaches of laws and regulations. Whistle-blowing can take place confidentially if so desired, and the company cannot impose negative sanctions on the whistle- blower, irrespective of whether the whistle-blowing is genuine.

Going concern

The annual financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the company is a going concern. In 2020, the company successfully completed a private placement with gross proceeds in the amount of NOK 50 million, further strengthening the company's liquidity as well as providing a solid base to undertake significant investments in growth initiatives. The board confirms that the basis for the company as a going concern exists and bases its opinion on the company and the group's financial positions, the agreements that have been signed with both suppliers and customers, expected cash flows in 2021, and the company's financial liabilities. Due consideration has also been given to possible negative future impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic in the assessment supporting the going concern assumption.

Working environment, equality and discrimination

There were no serious incidents that resulted in personal injuries or absences in 2020. Nor was any damage to property or equipment reported. The working environment is generally satisfactory. The sick leave rate was 1.8% in 2020, compared with 2.0% in 2019. The group continuously strives to protect and improve health and safety in its operations. Navamedic strives to be a responsible employer that does not discriminate and that assesses all employees on an equal basis with respect to career opportunities and rights, regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, or sexual orientation Navamedic wants to achieve a balance between the genders. The group's management team in 2020 consisted of six members, two of whom are women.

Risk factors

The operational and financial risks Navamedic is exposed to differ little from what could be considered normal risks in the distribution of pharmaceuticals in that the company is not directly exposed to the risk of the development and production of their products.

The Group's operations expose it to various types of financial risk: Market risk (including operational risk, currency risk, variable interest risk, and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

The Group is exposed to operational risk. The Group believes that such risk will primarily arise in relation to the development of future sales of the company's products, measured in terms of both price and volume. Factors that can influence market risk include increased competition, out of stock-situations at its suppliers, price reductions and competition from existing and future pharmaceuticals within the company's range of therapies.

The company depends on supply and distribution from suppliers. The company has supply and distribution agreements with suppliers in which the term of the agreement varies from one to eight years. The company is dependent on renewing these agreements at market prices and on market terms and conditions and is therefore in continuous dialogue with the suppliers to ensure they are renewed.

There is a risk that some of the company's products will face competition from new products and generic products. The company has close ties with a few major suppliers, something that can entail a concentration risk. The risk of this can be reduced by a more diversified and broader portfolio of products.

Financial risk mainly consists of interest-, currency-, credit- and liquidity risks. Navamedic continuously monitors these factors and actively manages risk through commercial operations and other measures to reduce these risks.

As at 31 December 2020, the company considered the group's liquidity to be satisfactory.

The interest rate risk is primarily linked to the group's liquidity, and interest rates affect the group's borrowing expenses. Thus far, the group has not entered into any types of hedging arrangements in order to reduce interest rate risks. The company's borrowing rates and interest rates on bank deposits and short term liquidity investments are floating. Interest rates on loans to associated company is fixed.

In 2020, a substantial portion of the group's revenue and the majority of salaries and other operating expenses were in NOK, SEK, DKK and EUR. Materials are generally paid for in EUR, GBP, SEK and USD. Net investments in foreign subsidiaries are exposed to currency risk in SEK. The board assesses the company's need for currency hedging on an ongoing basis but has currently not introduced specific hedging strategies beyond natural hedging and specific assessments in larger agreements.

Navamedic trades with deemed creditworthy third parties and generally sells its products to major actors such as pharmacy chains and wholesalers, as well as public health sectors and hospitals.

Trade receivables are continuously monitored and the risk of incurring losses is generally regarded as low.

The Covid-19 outbreak has implied risk with regards to supply chain and sourcing of products and a risk related to Navamedic's employees becoming infected and consequently may not being able to carry out their work and functions as required. The company has initiated its business continuity plan to secure all key areas of operations. Furthermore, the company's operations and result have shown over the last year with Covid 19 that it is less vulnerable to severe negative effects of Covid 19 than most other companies and industries.

Organisation

The group had 30 employees at the end of 2020, compared to 24 at the end of 2019.

In accordance with the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the board has prepared a declaration concerning pay and other benefits for executive personnel, which is included in note 16.

Corporate governance

Navamedic generally complies with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance (NUES). See the special section of the annual report for the company's corporate governance report.

The share

The Navamedic share has been listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 2006 with the ticker NAVA. As at 31 December 2020, the company had 15.291.885 outstanding shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 0.74 per share, and 935shareholders.

Parent company

Internal support and shared services have been organized in the parent company, Navamedic ASA, in areas where substantial economies of scale and synergies can be realised. The parent company has a master agreement on royalties from its subsidiary Navamedic AB. The parent company holds the rights to various products that are resold by the subsidiaries and thereby earns royalties. The royalties are based on actual sales in Navamedic AB. Service fees are charged out to subsidiaries covering costs for strategic development, marketing, logistics and purchasing management, as well as financial and accounting management. In addition, the parent company has activities relating to insurance, systems development and operations and other operating activities that are performed on behalf of its subsidiaries, which are also charged out.

The operating revenue in Navamedic ASA of NOK 30.1 million in 2020 was a decrease of NOK 1.6 million mainly due to a decrease in service fees. Total operating expenses decreased by NOK 1.7.

Net financial items amounted to NOK -8.5 million, compared with NOK -1.0 million in 2019. The change mainly relates to currency translation differences.

Equity amounted to NOK 128.2 million, an increase from 87.7 in 2019.

Disposal of net result for the year and dividends

The parent company's result after tax for 2020 was NOK -17.3million. The board proposes that the net result for the year be transferred to and covered by other equity. The board also proposes no dividends to Navamedic ASA's shareholders for 2020.

Subsequent events

On 4 January 2021, the board resolved to settle the first tranche of the acquisition of marketing authorizations for a series of antibiotics products from ACS Dobfar and InfoRlife. This first tranche of the purchase price in the amount of NOK 19 million was settled by issuing new shares. The share capital increase was registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises (Nw. Foretaksregisteret), on January 18, 2021.

On February 9, 2021, Navamedic announced the launch of Cysticina ®, the first non-prescription drug for alleviating urinary tract infections in the Norwegian market.

On April 8, 2021, Navamedic announced that the company has entered into an exclusive long term distribution agreement with Novozymes for PrecisionBiotics Zenflore® in the Nordics. Through this agreement Navamedic strengthens its position within consumer healthcare and clinically proven probiotics for specific disease areas.

Outlook

Navamedic has the goal of becoming a leading pharmaceutical company in Northern Europe. Growth shall be achieved by developing the existing product portfolio, licensing new products and through acquisitions.

We see major potential for including more products in the existing distribution platform in the Nordic region, Baltic States and the Benelux countries. With a well- functioning system of logistics and distribution, as well as skilled salespeople who regularly meet with hospitals, specialists, general practitioners and pharmacies, we have the strength to launch new prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals.

The company will also actively work to build and retain value through ownership and further development of assets, both short- and long-term. Through licensing rights and developing and purchasing products, the company will increase its share of pharmaceuticals that we ourselves own the marketing rights and trademarks to. The company has solid expertise and capacity within this field and is in the process of building up its portfolio of potential products to be launched in the coming years. If the conditions are right, we will also consider further merger and acquisition options.

Based on the growth strategy and outlook, the board of Navamedic expects that the company will continue the positive development in 2021 and show growth in the coming years.

It is Navamedic's opinion that, as a corporate body, the board safeguards the best interests of the shareholders as a group. This is based on the board's qualifications, capacity, and diversity suiting the business Navamedic operates.

In the opinion of the board, it is desirable for board members to own shares in the company, but no formalised encouragement to own shares in the company exists. Chair of the board Terje Bakken and Narve Reiten have significant ownership in IRIC (Ingerø Reiten Investment Company), Navamedic's largest shareholder, while Cheng Lu is employed by TopRidge Pharma which is also one of the largest shareholders.

No executive personnel sit on the company's board.

The work of the board of directors

The board bears overarching responsibility for the management of the company and supervising the day- to-day management and the company's operations. Its main duties consist of formulating the company's strategy and following up the implementation of this strategy. The board also performs control functions that ensure the company's asset management is prudent. The board appoints the CEO.

Pursuant to the provisions of Norwegian company law, the board has stipulated rules of procedure for the board that provide detailed rules for the board's functions, duties, and responsibilities.

The board has a policy that board members and executive personnel must inform the company of any significant interests they may have in matters that are to be addressed by the board.

The board has an annual plan for its work that particularly focuses on goals, strategy, and implementation. The chair of the board is responsible for ensuring that the board's work is executed effectively and correctly in accordance with the law. For matters in which the chair of the board is, or has been, actively involved, another board member is nominated to chair the discussion such that the company is assured an independent process.

A clear division of work between the board and executive personnel has been established. The CEO is responsible for the company's operational management.

The board holds a minimum of six board meetings a year, one of which is a strategy meeting. Extraordinary board meetings are held as required to consider matters that cannot wait until the next ordinary board meeting.

24 formal board meetings were held in 2020, and the duties of the board were also addressed through updates via telephone conferences, with and without the management team present.

The board has established an audit committee as a sub-committee to the board. Special rules of procedure have been set out for this committee. The audit committee consists of two board members who are independent of the company's day-to-day management team.

The board has also established an M&A committee as a sub-committee to the board. The audit committee, the M&A committee consists of two board members, both of whom are independent of the company's daily operations.

The board has the objective of conducting an annual evaluation of its work, working methods, and qualifications. A similar evaluation is also conducted of the CEO.

Risk management and internal control

The board's supervision must ensure that the company has good internal control routines and appropriate systems for risk management that are commensurate with the scope and nature of the business being operated, including the company's values and guidelines for ethics and corporate social responsibility. The audit committee has particular responsibility for monitoring risk management and internal control.

Navamedic is a relatively small company with a small management team, and with limited capacity. However, while the company's size and operations are not especially extensive, there are several aspects and requirements of operating in the industry that requires robust routines related to internal control. The company has established routines to ensure satisfactory internal control and risk management and is in the process of further improvements through the implementation of new ERP system, a process started in 2020 and to be completed in 2021.

The board will ensure that routines for internal control and risk management are developed on an ongoing basis as the scope of the company's operations increase.

As part of its auditing services, the auditor assesses whether there are any material weaknesses in the internal control for financial reporting. The auditor takes part in the audit committee and board meetings in connection with the auditor's annual summary for the management team of factors identified during audits.

The management team emphasises establishing good control routines in those areas that are of material importance for financial reporting. The control routines are based on an authorisation structure that defines roles and responsibilities for each level of management, as well as guidelines for how one should ensure good internal control, including satisfactory routines related to division of duties.

The board receives regular financial reports in which the company's economic and financial status is commented on. The company complies with the Oslo Stock Exchange's deadlines for interim reporting. The company has chosen not to issue interim reports from and including the fourth quarter of 2017 in accordance with IAS 34, instead it prepares and publishes a presentation for the quarter.

Accounting problems are analysed immediately, and the auditor consulted if required. An overview of relevant questions is presented to the board in connection with the publication of interim presentations and half-year and annual reports.

Remuneration of the board of directors

The board's remuneration is agreed each year by the general meeting. The board's remuneration is independent of the company's results and board members do not have options in the company.

Information about the board's remuneration for 2020 is included in note 16 to the financial statements. no board members have special duties in relation to the company beyond their board position and participation in the audit committee and M&A committee.

Remuneration of executive personnel

In 2010, the board set out guidelines for the remuneration of executive personnel in accordance with the provisions of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act.

The board's statement on executive pay is included in the annual report and considered by the general meeting in accordance with the Public Limited Liability Companies Act. No subsequent changes have been made to these guidelines.

The board's statement on executive pay was approved by the general meeting on 3 June 2020.

Procedures and authorisations for determining the remuneration of the corporate management team are governed by the company's rules of procedure for the board.

The rules of procedure for the board and the board's statement on executive pay stipulate that all schemes that include the awarding of shares, subscription rights, options, and other forms of remuneration linked to shares or the development of the share price, must be established by the company's general meeting.

The setting of the CEO's salary for 2020 was approved by the board and information about the remuneration of the CEO and other executive personnel in 2020 can be found in note 16 to the consolidated annual financial statements. Before determining the pay of the management team, a comparison is made with equivalent positions in companies outside the group.

Information and communication

Navamedic's information and communication policies are presented in the company's guidelines for corporate governance. The guidelines are based on the principle of the equal treatment of market actors and cover financial reporting and investor relations.

Navamedic will provide the market with accurate, consistent, and relevant information. Half-year reports and interim presentations for the Oslo Stock Exchange are presented in English only.

According to the company's guidelines for corporate governance, the board must ensure that interim presentations issued by the company provide a true and complete picture of the group's financial and business positions, as well as the extent to which the company's operational and strategic goals are achieved.

The Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance recommends that the board establishes guidelines for the company's contact with shareholders outside the general meeting. Navamedic's guidelines for contact with the shareholders are published on the company's website.

Navamedic's communication with shareholders is based on the principle that all owners should have equal access to the information. Navamedic arranges public investor presentations in connection with the publication of halfyear reports and interim presentations. In these, the results are reviewed, and the development of the market and the company's outlook are commented on.

As a minimum, the CEO and CFO take part in the presentations. For 2021, Navamedic will present interim presentations, as well as publish a half-year report and an annual report.

Take-overs

The company's guidelines for corporate governance stipulate that in the event of potential take-overs or restructuring situations, the board shall exercise particular care such that the assets and interests of all shareholders are safeguarded.

The guidelines for corporate governance at Navamedic also stipulate that the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance must be followed, and the board will follow the more detailed recommendations in this document if a potential take-over situation arises.

No take-over offers were presented to Navamedic or its shareholders in 2020.

Auditor

The company engaged EY as its new auditor on the annual general meeting on June 3, 2020. The auditor attends board meetings in connection with the annual financial statements and most meetings of the board's audit committee. At least one meeting a year is held between the auditor and board without the CEO or other member of the company's executive team present.

The auditor presents an audit plan for the audit committee each year. According to the company's guidelines for corporate governance, the auditor shall each year provide the board with written confirmation that they comply with the requirements for independence and objectivity. The guidelines also stipulate that services from the auditor beyond the mandatory audit and closely related advice must only be provided following a decision by the board or audit committee.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

Note 1 – General information

Navamedic ASA is a Nordic pharma company with a footprint in Northern Europe listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. The company is a reliable supplier of high-quality products, delivered to hospitals and through pharmacies, meeting the specific medical needs of patients and consumers.

The product portfolio consists of prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals as well as other healthcare products registered as medical nutrition, medical devices, food supplements or cosmetics.

Navamedic is present in all Nordic countries, the Baltics and Benelux and has sales of specific products even in other European countries like UK and Greece.

Through its subsidiary Navamedic AB, the group distributes more than 40 products from 20 international producers and brand owners in the European market.

Navamedic's ambition is to grow by expanding its product portfolio and launching existing products in new markets.

Navamedic ASA is registered and based in Norway. Its head office is in Solli Plass in Oslo. Its postal address is Henrik Ibsens gate 90, 0255 Oslo, Norway.

Note 2 – Summary of signficant accounting policies

The most important accounting policies used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements are described below. These policies are applied consistently in all of the periods presented, unless the description states otherwise.

2.1 Framework for preparation of the financial statements

Navamedic's consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with international accounting standards and interpretations from the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as established by the EU (IFRS).

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared by applying the same accounting policies to transactions and events that would be similar under otherwise equal conditions.

The accounting policies applied, and the presentation of the consolidated financial information are consistent with the previous annual financial statements for the year that ended 31 December 2019.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the group is a going concern.

2.2 Consolidation policies

A subsidiary is a company over which Navamedic ASA (directly or indirectly) has control. Control is attained when Navamedic is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its engagement in a company in which it has

invested and is able to influence this return by exercising power over the company. Power means existing rights that currently provide Navamedic with the ability to steer relevant activities, i.e. the activities that affect, to a significant degree, the return from the company that has been invested in. All subsidiaries are owned 100% and there are no minority interests.

Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when the group attains control and consolidation ceases when control of the subsidiary ceases.

The acquisition method is used for acquisitions of business. The consideration is measured at the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities assumed, and equity instruments issued. The fair value of all assets or liabilities according to the agreement on contingent consideration is also included in the remuneration. Identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities are recognised at their fair value on the acquisition date.

Acquisitions-related costs linked business combinations are recognised as expenses when they are incurred.

Contingent consideration is measured at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability and that are not adjustments during the measurement period must be recognised through profit or loss.

If the sum of the remuneration, fair value of earlier assets, and any fair value of minority interests exceeds the fair value of identifiable net assets in the acquired company, the difference is capitalised as goodwill. If the sum is lower than the company's net assets, the difference is recognised through profit or loss.

Intra-group revenue, expenses, and balances are eliminated. The gain and loss elements in a capitalised asset that arose due to an intra-group transaction are also eliminated. The accounts of subsidiaries are, if necessary, restated so they correspond with the group's accounting policies.

2.3 Segment information

Navamedic identifies its segments according to the organisation and reporting structure as decided and followed up by the chief operating decision maker. Operating segments are components of a business that are evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, defined as the CEO, for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources. Navamedic operating segments represent separately managed business areas with unique products serving different markets. After the demerger of the Medtech division as at 31 October 2019, Navamedic currently has only one business segment which is the Pharma division.

2.4 Translation of foreign currency

a) Functional currency and presentation currency

The accounts of the individual units in the group are measured in the currency that is mainly used in the economic area in which the unit operates (functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in NOK, which is both the parent company's functional currency and its presentation currency.

b) Transactions and balance sheet items

Transactions in foreign currency are translated to the functional currency using the transaction's exchange rate. Realised currency gains and losses that arise during the settlement and translation of monetary items

in foreign currency at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date are recognised through profit or loss. Currency gains and losses are presented (net) as financial income or financial expenses.

c) Group companies

The income statements and balance sheets of group companies with functional currencies different from the presentation currency are translated in the following way:

  • a) balance sheets are translated using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date
  • b) income statements are translated using the average exchange rate for the year
  • c) translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income and specified in equity as a separate item

Goodwill and excess values upon the acquisition of a foreign unit are treated as assets and liabilities in the acquired unit and translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation differences that arise are recognised in other comprehensive income.

2.5 Intangible assets

All intangible assets are recognized at cost less accumulated amortization and impairments. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset.

The group's intangible assets consist of the following:

a) Licenses (product rights) and marketing authorisations

Navamedic holds rights to market and sell specific products in defined geographical areas. Investments related to such licenses are amortised on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic life, which typically range between five to ten years.

Navamedic further distributes a number of products through wholesalers on behalf of rights holders. Investments related to obtaining such marketing authorisations are amortised on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic life, which typically range between five to ten years. For products that are under registration, the amortisation of the cost of acquisition commences upon launch and is amortised over the period of the agreement.

b) Other intangible assets

Navamedic invests in information technology assets intended to products and marketing. Furthermore, investments in licences and marketing authorisations where the products in question have not yet been launched due to regulatory or other reasons, are classified as other intangible assets until launch.

2.6 Impairment of non-financial assets

At each reporting date, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories, contract assets and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount.

Impairment is recognised in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying value of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

An impairment in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying value does not exceed the carrying value that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment had been recognised.

2.7 Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lowest of acquisition cost and net realisable value. Acquisition cost is calculated using the first-in, first-out method (FIFO). Net realisable value is the estimated selling price less cost of sale.

2.8 Financial assets

The group currently has financial assets within the following category:

a) Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets at amortized cost are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The group's financial assets at amortized cost primarily consist of trade receivables and other receivables, loan receivables and bank deposits. Financial assets at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value, transaction costs are added to the carrying amount. Financial assets at amortized cost are subsequently carried at amortized cost.

2.9 Trade receivables

Trade receivables arise from sales of goods or services within the ordinary business cycle. If settlement is expected within one year or less (or in the ordinary business cycle if this is longer), the receivables are classified as current assets. If this is not the case, the receivables are classified as non-current receivables.

Trade receivables are measured at the transaction price upon initial recognition. In subsequent measurements, trade receivables are measured at amortised cost less provisions for expected credit losses.

For trade receivables and contract assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses (ECLs). Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment.

The group has entered into a trade receivable financing agreement with Avida Finans AB.

2.10 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank deposits which are readily convertible into cash within a 3 month period.

2.11 Financial liabilities

The group currently has financial liabilities within the following category:

a) Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities at amortized cost are liabilities that represent a contractual obligation to deliver cash, and are classified as current or non-current based on whether the estimated settlement date is less than or more than 12 months in the future. The group's financial liabilities at amortized cost consist of interestbearing liabilities in the form of overdraft facilities and instalment loans, licensing liabilities, trade account payables and other non-interest-bearing liabilities. Financial liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at fair value net of directly attributable transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortized costs applying the effective interest method.

2.12 Income Tax

Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. It is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. The Group has determined that interest and penalties related to income taxes, including uncertain tax treatments, do not meet the definition of income taxes, and therefore accounted for them under IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets.

a) Current tax

Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payable or receivable is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Current tax also includes any tax arising from dividends. Current tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

b) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.

Deferred tax is not recognised for:

  • temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss;
  • temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

– taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses, unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that convincing evicence exists that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Future taxable profits are determined based on the reversal of relevant taxable temporary differences. If the amount of taxable temporary differences is insufficient to recognise a deferred tax asset in full, then future taxable profits, adjusted for reversals of existing temporary differences, are considered, based on the business plans for individual subsidiaries in the Group. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that convincing evidence no longer that the related tax benefit will be realised; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and recognised to the extent convincing evidence that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.

The measurement of deferred tax reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset only if certain criteria are met.

2.13 Employee benefits

a) Pensions

The company has entered into a mandatory defined contribution pension scheme for employees in Norway and Sweden. Under defined contribution plans, the group pays contributions to public or private organized insurance plans for pensions on a compulsory, contractual, or voluntary basis. The group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The plan in Norway complies with the requirements of the Norwegian Mandatory Occupational Pension Act. The contributions are recognised as payroll expenses as incurred, see note 16.

b) Severance pay

Severance payments are recognised when the employment relationship is terminated by the group before the normal retirement date or when an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in return for such remuneration. The group recognises severance pay when it is demonstrably obliged to either end the employment relationship of today's employees in accordance with a formal, detailed plan that the group cannot withdraw, or to provide severance pay due to an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancies.

2.14 Provisions

Provisions for product warranties, onerous contracts, restructuring costs, termination benefits and legal claims are recognized when: The Group has a present or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that

an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are discounted only when the effect is material and the distribution in time can be reliably estimated.

2.15 Revenue recognition

a) Revenue from contracts with customers

Navamedic distributes and delivers pharmaceuticals and other products to hospitals and pharmacies, mainly in the Nordic region, but also in a number of other countries in Europe. Revenues are measured based on the transaction price specified in a contract with a customer. The group's revenues are generated from the sale of goods, and revenue is recognised at the point in time when control of the goods transfers to the customer, typically when the group has delivered the goods to the customer.

Invoices are issued upon delivery of the goods or based on accumulated monthly sales through a wholesaler. Payment terms for revenue are typically 30 days.

b) Interest income

Interest income is recognised through profit or loss proportionally over time in accordance with the effective interest rate method.

c) Revenue from dividends

Dividend revenues are recognised through profit or loss when the right to receive payment arises.

2.16 Leases

The Group assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

Group as a lessee

The Group applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

Right of use assets

The Group recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right of use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right of use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right of use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. If ownership of the leased asset transfers to the Group at the end of the lease term or the cost reflects the exercise of a purchase option, depreciation is calculated using the estimated useful life of the asset. The right of use assets are also subject to impairment.

Lease liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Group recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid

under residual value guarantees. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Group uses its estimated incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

Short-term leases and leases of low-value assets

The Group applies the short-term lease recognition exemption to its short-term leases of machinery and equipment (i.e., those leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less from the commencement date and do not contain a purchase option). It also applies the lease of low-value assets recognition exemption to leases of office equipment that are considered to be low value. Lease payments on short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are recognised as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.17 Dividends

Dividend payments to the company's shareholders are classified as liabilities from and including the moment the dividend is determined by the general meeting.

Note 3 – Financial risk management and capital management

The Group's operations expose it to various types of financial risk: Market risk (including currency risk, variable interest risk, and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. The group focuses on minimising the potential negative effects that unforeseeable movements in the capital markets can have on the group's financial results. The group does not use financial derivatives to protect itself from specific risks.

The group's risk management is performed by the management team in accordance with company risk policy approved by the board.

a) Market risk

Operational risk

The Group is exposed to operational risk. The Group believes that such risk will primarily arise in relation to the development of future sales of the company's products, measured in terms of both price and volume. Factors that can influence market risk include increased competition, instructions to reduce prices from the authorities, and competition from existing and future pharmaceuticals within the company's range of therapies.

The company depends on supply and distribution from suppliers. The company has supply and distribution agreements with suppliers in which the term of the agreement varies from one to eight years. The company is dependent on renewing these agreements at market prices and on market terms and conditions, and is therefore in continuous dialogue with the suppliers to ensure they are renewed.

The group is exposed to risk related to pandemic outbreaks, however, based on the existing portfolio of products, the company is probably less prone to be affected to the same extent as many other companies. The demand for most of the company's products, except some Consumer Health products, is less likely to be

affected since the end users typically use the products based on needs and can not easily stop using them. There is a risk that some products' production and delivery could be affected in the event of long term shut down.

Currency risk

The group is exposed to currency risk. A significant proportion of the group's revenue and expenses are in currencies other than the functional currency in the individual entities (mostly NOK, SEK, DKK and EUR). Materials are generally paid for in EUR, SEK, GBP, USD, DKK and NOK. Most of the sales in Navamedic AB take place in Nordic currencies and EUR. Payroll and operating expenses are generally incurred in the currency of the country in which the individual company is registered. The group has not adopted specific currency hedging strategies in relation to operations.

The group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations relating to balance sheet items in foreign currency. Focusing on the major exposures, SEK and EUR, a sensitivity analysis of the effect of a potential change of +/- 5% in the exchange rates NOK/SEK and NOK/EUR at 31 December 2020 shows that a weakening of NOK against SEK would result in a reduction in pre-tax profit of NOK 3,2 mill. A weakening of NOK against EUR would result in an increase in pre-tax profit of NOK 2,3 mill.

Variable interest rate risk

The group is exposed to interest rate risk related to bank deposits. The interest rate on the Group's loans is fixed. The calculated interest income and expenses, as well as actual interest payments, are affected by rate changes. The group has not entered into any hedging arrangements to cover fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. Calculations show that a 1% rise in interest rates would result in interest income of NOK 0.4 million.

b) Credit risk

The group is exposed to no significant concentrations of credit risk. Routines have been introduced to ensure products are sold to customers with satisfactory creditworthiness. The company's customers are largely public enterprises and larger pharmacy chains that represent a low credit risk. The level of consumer sales is relatively low. See also note 10, which shows when the group's receivables fall due.

c) Liquidity risk

The group's liquidity risk is considered moderate as at 31 December, and the group's liquidity situation as at 31 December 2020 is considered to be satisfactory. As at 31 December 2020, the group had NOK 39.6 million in cash and cash equivalents (NOK 11.4 million as at 31 December 2019). The group has a 3-year loan of SEK 20 million, which is due in 2022. The group continually monitors the liquidity risk associated with the due dates for financial liabilities.

Capital structure and capital management goals

The group's goal in relation to capital management is to ensure continued operations to secure returns for its owners, and to maintain an optimal capital structure. The group continuously strives to have a leverage ratio and an equity ratio adapted to the business' risk profile. The Group's main financing agreements are between Navamedic AB and Avida Finans AB and consist of i) an accounts receivable financing agreement with a credit limit of SEK 47 million which carries a fixed interest rate of 5.9 % p.a. on the used credit, an annual fee of 0.5 % on the full credit limit amount as well as a fixed fee of SEK 5.00 per invoice; ii) a 36 month loan of SEK 20 million due in September 2022 with a fixed interest rate of 6.5% p.a. For the 36 month loan agreement there is a covenant that the outstanding balance may not exceed 50% of the inventory level.

Note 4 – Critical accounting estimates and discretionary assessments

Estimates and discretionary assessments are evaluated on an ongoing basis and are based on past experience and other factors, including expectations concerning future events regarded as probable under current circumstances.

Important accounting estimates and assumptions

The group prepares estimates and makes assumptions about the future. The accounting estimates that follow from these will, by definition, seldom be fully in line with the final outcomes. Estimates and assumptions that represent a risk of material changes to the carrying values for assets and liabilities during the next accounting year are discussed below.

a) Measurement of goodwill and intangible assets

The most important estimates and assumptions that carry a risk that they will materially affect the carrying values for assets and liabilities during the next accounting year relate to the measurement of goodwill and

intangible assets, see note 8. The management uses estimates and assumptions in the determination of the accounting depreciation period and impairment assessments of intangible assets.

Capitalisation of identifiable intangible assets is based on expectations of future financial benefits. Measurements of future financial benefits are based on the management team's judgment and estimates on balance sheet dates.

b) Tax

Assessment of whether a deferred tax asset is recognisable involves a significant degree of judgment in determining the likelihood of utilisation against future taxable results within the various tax jurisdictions in which the group operates.

The capitalised deferred tax asset at 31 December 2021 is primarily linked to the tax losses carried forward in the parent company in Norway.

The management considers that, in accordance with the requirements in IAS 12.35 and 12.36, and also taking into consideration the ESMA considerations on recognition of deferred tax assets arising from the carry forward of unused tax losses, that the following convincing evidence exists that taxable profits will be available:

  • The group budget for 2021 and the business plan for 2021-2023, which includes predictable income from group internal management fee and royalty fee, and also income from newly entered into agreements which is expected to materialise in 2021 with a convincing degree of certainty. The group has further assessed that the precision in actual results vs. budget constitutes convincing evidence that taxable profits will be utilized in the near-term.

Based on the items above, management considered it highly probable that future taxable profits would be available against which the tax losses can be recovered and, therefore, the related deferred tax asset can be realised.

Note 5 – Segment Information and revenue from contracts with customers

Operating segments are identified based on the reporting the management team uses to evaluate performance and profitability at a strategic level.

Following the demerger of the Medtech division in 2019, Navamedic has only one segment, the Pharma and Healthcare division. The reporting structure reflects the company's business and product composition.

The Pharma and Healthcare Segment consists of pharmaceuticals and medical nutrition products that Navamedic markets, sells and distributes to hospitals, pharmacies and patients, bought from product suppliers and manufacturers in Europe and other places.

From the first quarter of 2020, Navamedic has implemented a new classification of its products, divided into four product categories:

  • Medical nutrition, including a broad portfolio of medical nutrition products for patients with genetic disorder. The product range also includes products within carbohydrate metabolism, fat metabolism (MCT products) and renal disease.
  • Consumer health, including gastro, oral, dermatology and pain products such as Alflorex®, Thermacare®, Gelorevoice®, Aftamed and Nyda®.
  • Branded generics, including cardiology products and generics such as Imdur® (used to prevent angina attacks), Nitrolingual (treatment for angina pectoris) and a portfolio of antibiotics for use in hospitals.
  • Specialty pharma, including obesity and urology products such as Mysimba® (prescription pharmaceutical for treatment of obesity) and Elmiron® and Gepan® (products for treatment of painful bladder syndrome).

Test for impairment losses for cash generating units that contain goodwill

Goodwill originates from the purchase of Vitaflo AB and other minor acquisitions, including Novicus Pharma AS in 2019. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill has been allocated to the group's single cash generating unit ('CGU'), being the Pharma division.

Impairment test – Pharma division

Impairment testing is based on value-in-use calculations, determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the CGU.

The test is based on the book value of the goodwill at 31.12.2020 compared to the estimated value calculated on the basis of discounted future cash flows. The calculations were based on the original product portfolio as well as new products. The basis for including new products is that the acquisition not only provided a product portfolio, but also a platform to be used for launch of new products. The 2021-2025 budget is used, with a modest revenue growth of 5%, after which we have assumed a 2.5% growth. A discount rate pre-tax of 12.6% was used to discount future cash flows. The resulting EBITDA margin estimates ranges from 4% in 2021 to 14% in 2025. The estimated value of the CGU exceeded the book value at 31.12.2020, therefore resulting in no write-down of the goodwill. In addition to the discounted cash flow estimation, sensitivity analysis showed that even with a significantly more conservative view, the estimated value would still not result in a write-down. Key assumptions include moderate growth in the revenue according to the above mentioned during the period, together with the estimated EBITDA margin and the level of the discount rate. Additionally, neither reasonably possible negative changes in the growth assumption, nor reasonably possible negative changes in the EBITDA margin would lead to an impairment. Also, a reasonably possible increase in the discount rate after tax would not give rise to impairment.

Fair value hierarchy for financial instruments recognized at fair value

All financial assets are valued based on level 2 inputs in accordance with IFRS 13:81.

Fair value of financial instruments recognized at amortised cost

Due to their short term nature, the carrying value of current financial assets and liabilities is deemed a reasonable approximation to the fair value of these financial assets and liabilities. The interest rate on non-current liabilities to financial institutions is considered not to be significantly different from what the Group could achieve as of 31

December 2020, and as such the carrying amount is considered not to be significantly different from the fair value. The discount rate applied to the calculation of amortized cost for non-current license liabilities is considered not to be significantly different from the market cost of capital as of 31 December 2020, and as such the carrying amount is considered not to be significantly different from the fair value.

Statement on the stipulation of salaries and other remuneration for the CEO and other executive personnel

Pursuant to Section 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the board of Navamedic has prepared a statement on the stipulation of salaries and other remuneration for the CEO and executive personnel.

All pay and remuneration in the group are based on the gross pay principle, meaning that any tax consequences of remuneration individuals receive are not the concern of the group.

The main principle in Navamedic's executive pay policy is that executive personnel will be offered competitive terms and conditions. The group aims to offer a level of pay that reflects an average pay level in small pharmaceutical companies in the Nordic region.

As a guideline, executive personnel can be awarded remuneration in addition to their basic salary (bonus), but this is limited to 50% of the annual salary and linked to the achievement of specific targets, and at the same time such that total compensation is within the average. Any bonuses to the CEO must be determined by the board.

Executive personnel can only be awarded options for the acquisition of/subscription to shares in the company.

The company offers defined contribution based pensions to all employees. Some executive personal has been awarded share options. See note 16.

The CEO and CFO are subject to notice periods of 6 months. The CEO has a termination payment agreement of 12 months.

Loan to Observe Medical ASA

The group has an outstanding loan of TNOK 34 821 at 31 December 2020 (TNOK 25 565 at 31 December 2019).

Subsequent to the demerger of Observe Medical ASA in 2019, Navamedic ASA (as lender) entered into a loan agreement with Observe Medical ASA (as the borrower) for a loan of an aggregate amount of TNOK 32 000. The loan was structured as a bullet loan, with repayment of the entire loan at the maturity date.

The loan agreement consists of the two following facilities:

  • A subordinated convertible term loan facility in the amount of TNOK 19 000 ; and
  • A subordinated convertible term loan facility in the maximum amount of TNOK 13 000.

The facilities given under the loan agreement constitute direct, unsecured and fully subordinated obligations of Observe Medical ASA, and rank at least pari passu with all other existing and future unsecured and subordinated obligations of Observe Medical ASA (other than in respect of any obligations preferred by mandatory provisions of applicable law), and rank ahead of all amounts payable in respect of the share capital.

The Facility A was made available to Observe Medical on the completion date of the demerger, while the Liquidity Facility of TNOK 13 000 was drawn on up until August 2020. Subsequent to August 2020, the loan is fully drawn. Each loan given under the facilities accrue interest at a fixed interest rate of 8.00% per annum.

Observe Medical ASA shall on the date falling 36 months after the date of the Loan Agreement repay to Navamedic ASA the aggregate amount of each loan then outstanding together will all accrued but unpaid interest. Observe Medical ASA may at any time prepay any loan outstanding in part or in full. Any amount repaid or prepaid may not be re-borrowed.

Additionally, Navamedic ASA has the right to, following the date falling 12 months after the completion date of the demerger, 31 October 2020, request that all, but not parts of, the loan outstanding is converted into Shares. Following the disbursement of a written notice to Observe Medical ASA by the Company informing about an exercise of the conversion right, Observe Medical has the optionality to either (1) accept the conversion right or (2) reject such conversion right by settling the loans in full in cash or settling parts of any loans in cash and the remainder through conversion.

The subscription price in a conversion shall be equal to the volume weighted average share price of Observe Medical ASA's shares on the Oslo Axess for the last ten days prior to the conversion date, but in no event be less than the nominal value of each share.

The conversion right attached to the loan to Observe Medical ASA is considered to be an embedded derivative within the scope of IFRS 9. However, since the subscription price in the conversion right is linked to the observed share price, this embedded derivative is considered to be of little or no value.

Explanatory notes to the annual financial statements 2020

Summary of significant accounting policies

The annual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act and good accounting practice.

Sales revenue

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the remuneration, net after deductions for discounts, returns, and VAT. Revenue is recognised through profit or loss when it can be reliably measured and it is likely that the financial benefits will flow to the company. Estimates related to revenue recognition are based on history and assessments of the type of customer and transaction, as well as the specific circumstances surrounding each transaction.

The company has an agreement on royalties from its subsidiary Navamedic AB. The company holds the rights to various products that are resold by the subsidiary and thereby earns royalties. The royalties are based on actual sales in Navamedic AB. The company also charges subsidiaries for services relating to sales management, marketing and regulatory management, as well as financial and accounting management.

Subsidiaries

In Navamedic ASA's annual financial statements, subsidiaries are measured using the cost method less any impairment.

Classification and measurement of balance sheet items

Current assets and current liabilities include balance sheet items that fall due for payment within one year of the balance sheet date and are associated with the with the daily business operations. Other items are classified as tangible and intangible fixed assets or non-current liabilities. Current assets are measured at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value. Current liabilities are recognised at nominal amount at the time of initial recognition. Fixed assets are measured at acquisition cost but are written down to fair value if the impairment is not expected to be temporary. Non-current liabilities are initially recognised at nominal amount.

Receivables

Trade receivables are recorded on the balance sheet at their nominal amount less deductions for provisions for expected losses. Provisions for expected losses are made on the basis of an individual assessment of each receivable

Other receivables are subject to a corresponding assessment.

Currency

Monetary items in foreign currency are measured using the exchange rate at the end of the accounting year.

Pension scheme

The company has a defined-contribution pension plan. The cost of the plan is recognised through profit or loss when the liability occurs.

Financial risk management

For further information about financial risk management please refer to note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.

Share-based remuneration

The company has the option of awarding share-based remuneration to some executive personnel. The total amount that must be recognised as an expense over the qualifying period is calculated on the basis of the fair value of the awarded options.

Intangible assets

Licenses (product rights) and marketing authorisations

Navamedic holds rights to market and sell specific products in defined geographical areas. Investments related to such licenses are amortised on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic life, which typically range between five to ten years.

Navamedic further distributes a number of products through wholesalers on behalf of rights holders. Investments related to obtaining such marketing authorisations are amortised on a straight-line basis over their expected useful economic life, which typically range between five to ten years. For products that are under registration, the amortisation of the cost of acquisition commences upon launch and is amortised over the period of the agreement.

Other intangible assets

Navamedic invests in information technology assets intended to products and marketing. Furthermore, investments in licences and marketing authorisations where the products in question have not yet been launched due to regulatory or other reasons, are classified as other intangible assets until launch.

Contingent liabilities

Contingent liabilities are recognised if it is more than 50% likely that a settlement will be forthcoming. The value of the settlement is based on a best estimate. Contingent consideration linked to future settlement clauses in the Observe Medical acquisition is deemed to be an uncertain liability and not a conditional liability. The best estimate of the settlement amount is updated on each balance sheet date and the change is recognised through profit or loss.

Use of estimates

Preparing financial statements in accordance with good accounting practice requires the management team to produce estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, as well as explanatory notes concerning contingent assets and liabilities. The actual results may differ from these estimates and assumptions.

Tax

The parent company's tax expense for 2020 is calculated on the basis of 22%. The tax expense in the income statement covers both the period's tax payable and the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of the temporary differences that exist between accounting values and tax values, as well as the tax loss carried forward at the end of the accounting year. Tax increasing and tax reducing temporary differences that are

reversed or may be reversed in the same period are offset and recorded net. The deferred tax asset is recorded after taking into account future revenue in the company.

Cash flow statement

The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank deposits.
