MANAGEMENTS' REVIEW

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

At DKK 27,5 million, Rovsing's revenue increased with DKK 5,7 million, compared to the previous financial year. The Company's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) amounted to DKK 2,5 million, a DKK 3,4 million improvement compared to the previous year DKK -0,9 million.

Tax for the year was DKK 0 million compared to DKK -0,3 million previous year.

The profit/loss after tax was DKK -3,4 million, an improvement from a loss of DKK -6,8 million in 2019/20.

Equity as per 30 June 2021 amounted to DKK 9,6 million (30 June 2020: DKK 11,4 million).

The realised revenue and EBITDA of DKK 27,5 million and DKK 2,5 million, respectively were in line with the guidance to the market during the financial year announced by the Company, increased at the Interim Report for the first half year in February 2021 (Announcement no. 317).

The 2020/21 realised revenue and EBITDA are in line with the expectations of the Management. Steady progress has been achieved on existing projects, despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. The flexibility of the Rovsing team and an active business continuation plan, remain a significant and critical success factor in driving potential mitigations to the pandemic situation and associated challenges. The positive improvement in revenue, EBITDA and EBIT for the financial year 2020/21 is driven by new and ongoing projects with normalized margins compared to the previous year.

Management views the development in 2020/21 as positive in regard of ongoing operations, as well as looking forward towards coming business years, where the Company has established a solid order book, with in particular the recently signed contract for Galileo 2nd Generation (Announcement no. 324). The overall order intake in 2020/21 was DKK 21,2 million (2019/20 DKK 17,7 million) continues to point towards higher market activity compared to prior years.

As can be seen below, the order intake, including the above mentioned G2G contract, leading up the financial year 2021/22 has increased significantly to DKK 35,0 million compared to previous years:

img-3.jpeg

The G2G award reflects the successful efforts invested in sales and project proposals which have been intensified over the past years in connection with a steady increase in the general activity level of the industry. The figure below shows the order backlog exclusive of ongoing service contracts.

img-4.jpeg

The evolution of the order backlog in 2020/21 to DKK 31,0 million (2019/20 DKK 20,5 million) is satisfactory and underlines the strengthened competitive position of Rovsing in key market segments. When accounting for the G2G contract the order backlog amounts to DKK 43,1 million. Both order backlog and intake numbers are exclusive of ongoing service contracts.

In line with the Company's strategy, focus on growth and diversification will continue from increased activities in European commercial programmes as well as maintained focus on the USA and emerging markets, leveraging our core competencies.

The European market

The European institutional market remains the most important market to Rovsing. The Company continues to invest large effort in providing proposals to the major European Prime contractors in their efforts to bid for the many upcoming institutional and commercial missions. The industry outlook remains a market with increasing activity level and large profile missions such as Galileo $2^{\text{nd}}$ Generation and Mars Sample Return (MSR) entering implementation phase, both of which Rovsing is already participating in. In addition, the prime contractors for the 6 Copernicus High Priority Candidate Missions (HPCM) were chosen in autumn 2020. Best practice tender phases including EGSE started in H2 2020/21.

At the beginning of H1 2020/21, Rovsing provided the two remaining Satellite Interface Simulator (SIS) Power Front-End (PFE) systems for supporting PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) to Thales Alenia Space (TAS) UK.

Rovsing was selected by TAS-UK to deliver the Electrical Power Subsystem (EPS) SCOE for the FLEX programme, signing a PATP in late December 2020, with a successful Design Review in late June 2021, the system delivery is planned before the end of 2021. The FLEX EPS SCOE is a good continuation of Rovsing Power SCOE business line and shares

good synergies with the ongoing PLATO EPS SCOE, also for TAS-UK which completed its Test Readiness Review (TRR) for set #1 in March 2021 and saw the delivery of set 1 in June 2021 with set #2 expected to be delivered before end of 2021.

Rovsing delivered the Payload Module (PLM) EGSE for the Solar wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer (SMILE) mission to Airbus DS Spain back in November 2020. SMILE is a joint venture mission between the European Space Agency and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Rovsing is also performing the Independent Software Validation (ISVV) for Airbus DS Spain on the SMILE PLM, a contract signed back in September 2020, with first milestone completed in January 2021 and the project expected to run until spring 2022.

Airbus DS in Toulouse led the winning consortium for the Mars Sample Return (MSR) Earth Return Orbiter (ERO) programme. Rovsing is a core consortium member, responsible for providing the Electrical Satellite Interface Simulator (E-SIS). The activity was kicked-off under an ATP in December 2020 and deliveries are planned for spring 2022. The Preliminary Design Review (PDR) was conducted successfully with Airbus DS, ESA and NASA early July 2021

In 2020/21 Rovsing has continued to support the MetOp-SG programme. Work continued during the year on the ISVV for the platform and instruments, with the final closeout of the contract performed in April 2021. In addition, Rovsing received an order for additional 40x RO-5100 SAS Modules by Clemessy for a recurring set of their MetOp-SG SAS SCOE. The SAS Modules were delivered in two batches in October and November 2020.

Together with Critical Software from Portugal, Rovsing is responsible for writing the updated ESA handbook for Independent Software Verification and Validation, work that is expected to be finished in 2021.

Rovsing has continued support for the Artemis missions with the Orion Multi-Purpose Crew Vehicle (MPCV) European Service Module (ESM). Four Solar Array Wing Front End Equipment (SAW FEE) systems are deployed, two with Airbus DS in Bremen and Ariane Group in Les Mureaux, one with Lockheed Martin in Colorado for the Integrated Test Lab and the fourth with NASA at the Kennedy Space Center. As part of the NASA Artemis and Lunar Gateway programmes, ESA has committed to providing additional three ESMs. In this connection Rovsing foresees to continue providing engineering support both remote & onsite as well as spare parts and possible upgrades until 2028.

Leonardo of Milan, Italy ordered a third recurring MPCV-ESM PCDU EGSE back in October 2020 in support of the upcoming ESMs. The 3rd PCDU EGSE has already in June 2021 successfully been assembled in our lab and completed the TRR milestone. The delivery is planned for September 2021.

Rovsing's onsite service business seen expected changes during the financial year 2020/21, a long-term service contract in Bremen for the ISS helpdesk came to an end ultimo December 2020. Replacement of a resource on the SETTERS project towards the end of the 2020 resulted in some unbudgeted extra cost. The Kourou service activities remain in place with existing contracts running until ultimo 2022. An additional resource was added to the Kourou team in November 2020.

The North American market

Rovsing proceeded throughout the year to explore further opportunities with North American customers and responding to quotations. Due to COVID-19, no customer or trade show visits to North America were performed during 2020/21.

In early 2021 a purchase order by Boeing Satellite Systems for several Rovsing High Current Second Level Protections units for use in their test systems was received. The delivery of these units was completed successfully in H2 2020/21.

As a supplier of various EGSE to the European Service Module (ESM) for the Orion Crew Capsule, Rovsing remains a vital partner for the Artemis missions planned in the coming years with the aim of bringing humans back to the Moon. With the ESA and NASA commitment for three additional ESMs, Rovsing foresees to support the Artemis mission for the coming years.

The overall North American market for commercial, military, and civil space remains a growth opportunity of strategic focus for the Company.

Emerging space markets

Rovsing continues to closely monitor emerging and ambitious space markets with their increasing space budgets. However, sales activities and inquiries from emerging markets have been quieter in 2020/21, this can be attributed to the overall world situation where emerging markets and one-off programmes are more sensitive to the COVID-19 pandemic than programmes of more established space nations.

With the delivery of the Turksat 6A EPS EGSE, Rovsing has developed a strong competitive position within the Turkish indigenous space programmes. A segment that is projected to continue growing for the coming years.

Rovsing has worked actively on prospects and bids to capture market opportunities for products and EGSE systems with organizations in both Asia and South America with quotations active in those regions which remain under evaluation.

Product development and production

In the financial year 2020/21, Rovsing continued focus on improving the product base and related logistics, production and testing environments. Management sees time and cost-effective production and testing as a vital part of the foundation for Rovsing's test systems and product offerings and to secure Rovsing's ability to deliver according to plan, quality and within budgeted prices.

Product development and feature improvements in the domains of both software and hardware remain key enablers for Rovsing abilities to deliver diverse market leading system solutions to customers.

Rovsing's strategic roadmap focuses on achieving increased scalability such that our already modular products can better address the expanding range of satellite architectures.

Anticipating the increased focus on diverse deployments in the space segment, Rovsing's development roadmap accommodates scaling down to smaller satellites and constellations as well as scaling up to higher power demands called upon by electrical propulsion enabled satellites and larger manned missions.

Organisation and management

By the end of the financial year 2020/21, Rovsing employed a total of 25 employees, counted on a full-time-equivalent basis. Most employees were employed at the Company's head office in Denmark, but the Company also has employees in Kourou, French Guiana, Toulouse, France and in Bremen, Germany where they provide support and consultancy services.

At the Company's annual general meeting in October 2020 Michael Hove and Ulrich Beck were reelected to the Board of Directors, while Jakob Have was elected to rejoin the board. Steen Rosenkvist and Flemming Hynkemejer did not seek reelection.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a major disruption event in both personal and professional lives of all. At Rovsing an active business continuity plan to address the COVID-19 situation has been operated to ensure continuous evaluation of the business based on supply chain, internal resources, progress and governmental guidelines.

In Denmark the government initiated a number of comprehensive measures in order to contain the spread of COVID-19. Management closely monitors the situation and remain prepared to take any immediate action necessary to stay agile and responsive. All employees that were not directly part of the production team, were during the height of the pandemic instructed to work from home. With video conferencing, chat and emails the team manages to keep the productivity high in order to meet project milestones and EGSE deliveries to our customers.

The impacts of COVID-19 on opportunities for travel and participation in industry conferences has been felt as the exposure to potential new customers and partners is reduced without physical participation in industry events as the informal aspect is difficult to replicate in digital conferences.

The Company has utilized the governmental COVID-19 help packages related to delayed A-skat and AM-contribution, and granted VAT loan, the obligations related to these measures amounted by the end of the financial year 2020/21 to DKK 2,970 thousand. Repayment will follow the governmental stipulated deadlines, with the last payment due ultimo April 2023.

Management continues to monitor the situation and take appropriate actions to minimize any potential business impacts moving forward.

Incentive schemes

Rovsing has, to a certain degree, used share-based incentive schemes as part of compensation packages for members of the Board of Directors, members of the management team and other staff.

At the end of the financial year 2020/21 there were 58,300 warrants. For additional information about the Company's share-based incentive schemes, please see note 6 to the financial statements on page 40-41.

The Board of Directors consider share-based incentive schemes as relevant and effective incentives that allow the Company to reward good performance, retain key persons and at the same time secure alignment of interests between managers and shareholders. Therefore, it is expected that share-based incentives, such as warrants, will be used more in the future as part of the compensation packages for members of the staff, management and members of the Board of Directors.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Income statement

Revenue amounted to DKK 27,5 million in 2020/21, an increase of DKK 5,7 million, on 2019/20 revenue. Gross profit amounted to DKK 19,1 million compared to DKK 16,9 million in 2019/20 and EBITDA amounted to DKK 2,5 million compared to DKK -0,9 million in 2019/20.

The positive development in revenue and EBITDA in 2020/21 is primarily driven by kick-off of new projects in 2020/21 with higher and more normalised gross margins than in the financial year 2019/20.

Other external expenses of DKK 2,0 million (2019/20 DKK 2,1 million) are in line with expectation.

Depreciation, amortisation and impairment amounted to DKK 5,0 million in 2020/21, against DKK 4,5 million in 2019/20. The increase is attributable to impairment of DKK 0,5 million related to the DSTE product-line, which is expected to be partially phased out in the coming years.

Financial items

Overall, net financial expenses amounted to DKK 0,9 million compared to DKK 1,2 million in 2019/20.

Profit/loss before tax

The Company recorded a loss before tax of DKK 3,4 million in 2020/21 compared to DKK -6,5 million in the year before.

Tax

Tax for the year amounted to DKK 0 million in 2021/21, compared to a cost of DKK 0,3 million in the preceding financial year. The tax consists of current tax (income) of DKK 0,1 million, which relates to reimbursement under section 8x of the Danish Tax Assessment Act (TAA) and a DKK -0,1 million in adjustment related to previous year. The deferred net tax asset amounts to DKK 2,1 million at 30 June 2021. Rovsing expects to be able to utilize the tax asset within the next five years.

Intangible assets amounted to DKK 10,9 million at 30 June 2021, down by DKK 3,4 million on 30 June 2020. The decrease was due to ordinary depreciations and amortisations of DKK 3,3 million, impairment of DKK 0,5 million and DKK 0,3 million associated with further development of the SAS product and DKK 0,1 million related to new ERP system.

Current assets amounted to DKK 11,1 million, a smaller increase from DKK 9,2 million at 30 June 2020.

Liabilities and equity

Equity amounted to DKK 9,6 million at 30 June 2021, against DKK 11,4 million at 30 June 2020. The year-over-year change of DKK 1,8 million is due to loss on comprehensive income of DKK 3,4 million, and DKK 1,6 million in proceeds from a directed share issue in February 2021. Rovsing holds 1,259 of the Company's own shares with a nominal value of DKK 62,950.

In December 2020 the Company refinanced a bond loan DKK 4,2 million with new convertible bond loans of DKK 4,2 million, which matures 31 December 2023. The bond loans carry an interest of 12% p.a. During February 2021 a new credit facility of DKK 3,6 with Jyske Bank was established. The facility supports and finances a single project entered into with Thales Alenia Space in UK and the credit facility is guaranteed by EKF, Denmark's Export Credit Agency. At year end the Company has a draw on the ordinary credit facility in Jyske Bank of DKK 1,6 million (DKK 2,5 million in 2019/20) and DKK 1,6 million on the EKF guaranteed credit line in Jyske Bank.

Cash flow from financing activities:

Cash flow from financing was DKK 1,0 million vs. DKK -5,1 million in 2019/20. The draw on the two credit facilities in Jyske Bank has increased with DKK 0,8 million in 2020/21 reflecting the increased activity level with higher working capital requirements.

Funding of the Company's operations

The liquidity situation during the financial year 2020/21 has further been strengthened by way of refinancing the bond loan of DKK 4,2 million due 31 December 2020 with new convertible bond loans of DKK 4,2 million, which matures 31 December 2023. In addition, the completed capital increase in February 2021, further strengthened the company's capital structure with DKK 1,6 million.

In 2020/21 Rovsing, Jyske Bank and EKF agreed on an additional credit facility where one specific project (FLEX EPS SCOE) with the customer Thales Alenia Space in the UK is funded with a guarantee backed-up by EKF.

Under the current rules for listed companies, Rovsing may issue new shares for up to 20% of the Company's existing share capital within a financial year. Within this framework, the size of a potential capital increase will be assessed relative to the immediate liquidity requirement, the capital aspects of the Company's strategy and investor appetite for buying Rovsing shares.

Should Rovsing carry out a capital increase, the contributed capital would be expected to be used partly for investing in commercial initiatives aimed at consolidating the Company's growth and competitiveness and as a general liquidity buffer. Reference is made to the section on the Company's risk factors on page 19, which describes risk associated with the Company's liquidity.

DIVIDENDS

The Board of Directors recommends to the annual general meeting that no dividend be declared in respect of the 2020/21 financial year.

OUTLOOK FOR 2021/22

Considering the above developments, the Company's strategy, the current order backlog and the expected order intake for 2021/22 management expects for the financial year 2021/22 a revenue of around DKK 34 - 36 million and an EBITDA of around DKK 3,5 - 4,5 million.

EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD

After the balance sheet date, no events have occurred that materially affect the Company's financial position other than the events described in the Management's review.

NEW & IMPROVED COMPANY LOCATION

As of 23rd of August 2021, Rovsing has started operations in a new and improved location at Ejby Industrivej 34-38 in Glostrup.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Rovsing's Board of Directors regularly reviews the Company's corporate governance and strives to follow the recommendations of the Committee on Corporate Governance. www.corporategovernance.dk).

The Company has resolved not to follow all the recommendations of the Committee of Corporate Governance, as the Board of Directors finds it appropriate to organize the Company's governance differently in some respects due to Rovsing's specific circumstances.

Certain of the recommendations with which the Board of Directors has resolved not to comply are described below. For a full report on the status of the Company's compliance with the recommendations, please refer to the corporate governance report published on Rovsing's website under "Investor Relations" and "Corporate Governance". https://rovsing.dk/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Corporate_governance_2020-21.pdf

Recommendation regarding election of vice-chairman

According to section 2.3.1 of the recommendations, the Board of Directors is recommended to appoint a vice-chairman. Due to the limited size of the Company, the Board of Directors has not considered it necessary so far to appoint a vice-chairman.

Recommendation regarding the composition and organization of the Board of Directors

According to section 3.1.2 of the recommendations, the Board of Directors annually should discuss the company's activities to ensure a diversity relevant to the Company in its management levels and develops and adopt a diversity policy. The Chairman of the Board of Directors assesses in consultation with the Executive Board what competencies the Board of Directors must have and recommend suitable candidates for election at the General Meeting. The Board of Directors currently consist of three members, all males. Their appointment was made before the beginning of the financial year and there are no immediate plans for replacement of current board members.

It is the goal that the underrepresented gender, presently female, should have at least one seat in the Board, equivalent to 33 pct. of the Board of Directors. This is however only possible whenever a replacement in any of the positions becomes relevant, and the goal is therefore presently not fulfilled in 2020/21. The Board will work to achieve female representation once new Board members are appointed, no later than within 4 years.

As Rovsing employs fewer than 50 employees, the Company is not required to have policies for gender parity at the other management levels, cf. the Danish Financial Statements Act § 99. At 30 June 2021, woman accounted for 9% of the total workforce (June 2019 4%). It is the Company's goal to continuously increase the diversity of the workforce.

Recommendation regarding board committees

According to section 3.4.6 of the recommendations, the Board of Directors is recommended to establish a nomination committee. Due to the size of the Company, the Board of Directors has decided that the functions of a nomination committee will be undertaken by the Company's Chairman in collaboration with the other board members.

According to section 3.4.7 of the recommendations, the Board of Directors is recommended to establish a remuneration committee. Due to the size of the Company, the Board of Directors has decided that the functions of a remuneration committee will be undertaken by the full Board of Directors as the board members are deemed to possess the requisite knowledge and experience to do so.

Recommendation regarding evaluation of the work of the Board of Directors and the Executive Board

According to section 3.5.1 of the recommendations, the Board of Directors is recommended to establish an evaluation procedure for an annual assessment of the overall board and individual members. The Board's self-evaluation is organised based on the numbers and the needs of the Company.

Recommendation regarding remuneration in the form of share options

According to section 4.1.3 of the recommendations, the remuneration of the Board of Directors should not include share options. The Board of Directors at Rovsing does not follow this recommendation as the Board of Directors are all participants in the Company's incentive warrant programme.


17

Management and organisation

Rovsing has two management bodies – the Board of Directors and the Executive Management. The general meeting elects the Board of Directors, which acts as the supreme authority of the Company between general meetings. The Board of Directors is the supervisory management body of the Company, which undertakes the employment of the Executive Management. The role of the Board of Directors is to supervise the Company's activities, development and management. The Executive Management is in charge of the day-to-day management and operation of the Company and must comply with the guidelines given by the Board of Directors.

Pursuant to the Company's articles of association, the Board of Directors must be composed of three to seven members. The Board of Directors is currently composed of four members, elected for a term of one year. The aim is for the Board of Directors to be composed of persons who possess the necessary skills for performing their duties and have an in-depth understanding of the Company's business affairs. In this respect, the Board of Directors considers the following skills to be important: Insight into the institutional and commercial aerospace market, experience in development, manufacturing and sale of advanced test equipment, experience in international project sales and the related legal aspects, and management experience from a listed company.

The Board members' shareholdings through controlled companies and/or held personally are set out on page 61-62.

The remuneration of the Board of Directors for 2020/21 was unchanged at DKK 100,000. The Chairman receives 200% of the basic fee.

At the Company's annual general meeting in October 2020 Michael Hove and Ulrich Beck were reelected to the Board of Directors, while Jakob Have was elected to rejoin the board. Steen Rosenkvist and Flemming Hynkemejer did not seek reelection.

The remuneration of the Executive Management consists of a fixed salary and incentive programmes in the form of a cash bonus and warrants. The weighting of the individual remuneration elements is intended to support the Company's positive performance in the short and long term. The cash bonus is performance-based relative to the annual budget to promote the Executive Management's focus on both revenue and costs. The vesting of warrants is based on the CEO's and CFO's employment with the Company and is described in more detail in note 6 to the financial statements.

Internal control and risk management

Rovsing's internal control systems and procedures in relation to financial reporting are to contribute to ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company's financial position and are free from material misstatement.

Rovsing's Board of Directors is responsible for the establishment and approval of an effective internal control and follow-up system for purposes of the Company's risk management, including relevant guidelines, policies and significant accounting principles.

The Executive Management is responsible for risk management and maintaining an efficient control system, considering applicable legislation and other internal guidelines and procedures. Risk management is focused on risk identification, probability and impact assessment, and risk mitigation measures. The purpose of control activities is to prevent, detect and correct any errors or irregularities. The activities have been integrated in Rovsing's accounting and reporting procedures. These activities include procedures for verification, authorization, approval, reconciliation, result analysis, IT application controls, and general IT controls.

Detailed monthly accounting data are prepared, analysed and monitored at entity and Company level. Rovsing's integrated IT controls and general controls contribute to ensuring that the financial statements give a true and fair view. Reporting instructions, including estimation and close-of-month procedures, are updated and implemented on a regular basis. Combined with other policies, these are available to all relevant employees.

Any control weaknesses identified by internal control or external auditors are presented to the Board of Directors, which oversees that Management implements the necessary measures to remedy the weaknesses in a timely manner.

CSR, HUMAN RIGHTS AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION

Description of Rovsing's business model

Operationally, the structure is that there is only one company that operates with a high degree of operational independence.

The majority of revenue is generated in Europe and derives from sales of products and systems for functional and electrical testing of spacecrafts (primarily satellites) and their payloads for professional clients. The Company has no sales to individuals. The Company's activities are generally conducted in accordance with internationally recognized quality standards.

The Company's purchasing of components comprises a very large number of products purchased from suppliers primarily in Denmark and Europe. The hallmark of these products is that they are manufactured by reputable high-quality technical manufacturers.

Due to the Company's size and short chain of command, the Company has decided to align corporate responsibility efforts with the key risks identified, and has no formalized policies or KPIs on human rights, social and employee relations, anticorruption and business ethics and environment and climate change. However, the Company does address corporate responsibility based on internationally recognized principles, as described below.

Human Rights

Rovsing supports and respects the international human rights contained in the Convention on Human Rights. This means, among other things, that the company works to ensure equal opportunities regardless of gender, religion, origin or sexual orientation. The company does not accept forced labour or child labour.

The Company endorses employees' free choice of trade unions and respect their right to participate in collective bargaining, in accordance with applicable laws and standards in respective countries regarding working hours and wages.

The Company has identified the risk of discrimination against employees to be the most significant risk in relation to human rights. This can affect our ability to attract and retain employees as well as affect our reputation.

The Company translates human rights principles into action by communicating them to employees and monitoring that the principles are observed, but due to the limited scope of its operations, the Company has not otherwise found it necessary to conduct human rights related due diligence. In 2020/21, the result of these efforts was that no human rights violations were found in Rovsing. The Company expects to continue and where appropriate, expand, these efforts in the future.

Social and employee relations

In Rovsing, we believe that results are created through people. We strive to be a responsible employer that ensures proper employment, healthy and safe working conditions and a motivating work environment for our employees.

The company translates these principles into action, inter alia, through the development and maintenance of employees' knowledge and skills, to ensure that the company continues to have a high efficiency, that innovative products and solutions can be produced and that the products manufactured are competitive in the selected markets. The presence of the necessary qualifications is ensured, among other things through targeted training of employees as well as collaboration with external partners.

The Company has identified employees not feeling motivated by working at Rovsing as the most significant social- and employee-related risk. This is, however, not currently the case.

As Rovsing employed 25 FTE in 2020/21, the Company has yet found it necessary to establish any processes for social and employee-related due diligence. The Company expects to continue and where appropriate, expand, these efforts in the future.

Anti-corruption and business ethics

Over the years, we have built a reputation as a company that maintains a high degree of integrity and ethical conduct. We combat all forms of corruption, including bribery and facilitation payments, by informing our employees of our zero-tolerance approach to bribery and corruption.

We have identified the risk of employees using gifts or other means to unduly influence a stakeholder as the main risk related to bribery and corruption. This may also be the case if one of our employees is unduly influenced by a stakeholder. Both cases could have consequences for our reputation.

Due to the limited scope of its operations, the Company has not yet found it necessary to establish processes for anti-bribery and corruption


19

due diligence. No corruption and bribery offenses have been found or reported in Rovsing in 2020/21, and the Company plans to continue and where appropriate, expand, these efforts in the future.

Environment and climate

It is the Company's goal to strive for a production that limits the climate impact through the use of environmentally friendly processes. This includes choice of materials that are as reusable as possible, but also that the various processes are gentle on the environment.

We believe that the most significant climate- and environment-related risk would be if we use materials in our production that unnecessarily harm the environment. Furthermore, it can be a risk if our production of products has processes or approaches that may unduly impact the environment. We are aware that this risk can have consequences for the local environment as well as have consequences for our reputation.

The Company's climate and environment-related processes entail, that environmental considerations are included as part of the company's innovation processes and business strategy. As of yet, no results have been identified as a result of the efforts, but the Company expects to continue and where appropriate, expand, these efforts in the future.


20

RISK FACTORS

The risk factors below are not listed in any order of priority according to significance or probability. It is not possible to quantify the significance to Rovsing of each individual risk factor as each of the risk factors mentioned below may materialise individually or simultaneously to a greater or lesser degree and have a material adverse effect on Rovsing's business, operating profit and financial position.

RISKS RELATED TO THE COMPANY

The Company's earnings expectations are subject to considerable uncertainty

The Company's expectations for the future are based on a number of assumptions. If these assumptions are not met, in whole or in part, the Company's future results may deviate considerably from the expectations, which may have a material adverse effect on the Company's operations, results and financial position.

Liquidity risk

The Company's liquidity position has improved during 2020/21 due to a refinancing of a bond loan of DKK 4,2 million maturing 31 December 2020 with new bond loans of DKK 4,2 million, which matures 31 December 2023. In addition, the Company completed a directed share emission in February 2021 of DKK 1,6 million in new capital.

Liquidity problems due to late payment by customers

The aerospace market is sometimes characterized by late payments by customers from time to time. Such delays may adversely affect the Company's liquidity and increase the risks related thereto, as discussed above. Delayed deliveries to or approvals from customers may have a similar effect.

The Company is dependent on a few large customers

Rovsing is dependent on a few large and longstanding customers. The European Space Agency, ESA (end customer), typically delegates the overall responsibility for a space programme to the largest European space companies – Airbus Defense & Space, Thales Alenia Space or OHB ("Prime Contractors") – through contracts.

Although, when awarding a contract to a Prime Contractor, ESA also requires an open competitive process in the selection of subcontractors, it is crucial for the Company's future development in the space industry to maintain its good relations with these Prime Contractors. There can be no assurance of this, and the opposite scenario could lead to a loss of future orders and materially affect the Company's future earnings and results.

Technological developments may impair the Company's competitiveness

Even though the Company is not dependent on individual technologies or processes, technological developments may occur in the future which may impair the Company's competitiveness, including if the Company's fails to maintain a certain level of investment in the maintenance and development of its current intellectual property rights or faces difficulty to source parts.

Tenders may be unsuccessful

The Company's large customers launch a limited number of calls for tenders a year. The outcome of these tenders can have a significant impact on the Company's revenue, earnings and future competitiveness. The outcome of such tenders depends on various factors which are beyond the Company's control, including the quality and price offered by the other tenderers. As there are only a limited number of tenders, there is a risk of losing more than expected or them all, which will materially affect the Company's future results.

The Company is not yet ISO-certified and is therefore facing a risk of being rejected for that reason as supplier to certain customers in the commercial space industry, and this may have a negative impact on the Company's future development opportunities. The process of ISO-certification has continued in 2020/21.

Lack of contract opportunities due to fully allocated return quota

For each ESA programme, a ratio applies to the aggregate contract amount permitted in each participating member state. There is a risk that other Danish businesses are awarded so many contracts under a programme that it reduces Rovsing's contract opportunities under that programme.

Risk of infringement of intellectual property rights

Rovsing's products are developed from scratch, despite this, there is a risk that the products will infringe third party rights, including patent rights. Such infringement may involve substantial claims from the rightsholders and/or cause rightsholders to obtain injunctions against supply of the products containing the infringing material, which may materially affect Rovsing's results.


21

Fixed-price contracts may involve losses

Although Rovsing has switched to basing its deliveries on standard products, Rovsing remains a development business which, in some tenders, must prepare estimates of the resources and production cost required to perform the individual contracts. There is a risk that Rovsing underestimates the (development) costs and/or the production cost (price of components) associated with existing or future projects and therefore cannot achieve the budgeted contribution margins and/or incurs losses in connection with projects.

Insufficient insurance cover

There is no guarantee that the insurance cover acquired is sufficient to compensate for a loss arising due to a claim, including especially a product liability claim. The Company strives to minimise its exposure by way of its general terms of sale and delivery and its commercial liability and product liability insurance, but there is no certainty that all situations have been agreed in such a way as to prevent an error from having a negative impact on the Company's earnings.

In addition, a loss for which the Company is liable or jointly liable may potentially damage the Company's opportunities to enter into future contracts, as the Company's business concept involves protecting customers against such losses.

Wrong assessment of market penetration time and demand in new markets

Penetration of new markets involves a number of uncertainties – not least in terms of market penetration time. The Company has significant references from the space industry but does not yet possess detailed knowledge of all markets as regards applications. Both the penetration time and the fact that services provided by the Company are often competing with internal resources of other companies, are subject to uncertainty. These factors may materially affect the Company's future revenue and earnings.

Trade restrictions may impact future business

A delivery to one market, e.g. the Chinese market, may affect the possibilities for supplying to other markets, e.g. the USA. Rovsing monitors the evolution of the trade and political conflicts between both countries which are key players in the global space markets.

Restrictions on export bonds to certain countries can impact the Company's ability to enter into new business markets.

Accumulation of application know-how may be affected by lack of recruitment

The Company's strategy is initially to accumulate market knowledge, technical skills and marketing skills in the global aerospace market, primarily through recruitment at the board, management, engineer and sales level. When entering new market areas, the headcount will increase with a resulting risk that capacity adjustment problems may arise.

There is a risk that the Company will not succeed in balancing the capacity to ensure coherence between the contracts concluded and availability of sufficient capacity in terms of both quality and quantity, which may affect the Company's future revenue and results.

The Company is dependent on key persons

As a knowledge-based business, the future development of the Company relies on contributions from current and future employees. The Company's employees are its greatest asset. The Company's ability to attract, retain and develop talented employees is therefore considered essential to the Company's future activities, results and financial position.

The Company's development to date in respect of management, development and marketing has been driven extensively by individuals. A loss of one or more of these employees may have a material adverse effect on the Company's business. However, there can be no assurance that this will not happen.

Unsatisfactory contribution margins of products and services may impact results

The Company's earnings rely strongly on its ability to secure satisfactory contribution margins of its contracts.

The contribution margin depends on the Company's ability to maintain a high level of expertise within its product areas and its possibilities for reusing product developments and maintaining a stable cost base for the manufacturing of the Company's products. A lack of the same will have negative consequences.

Capitalised development costs, product rights and/or tax assets may be written off

In its annual report for 2020/21, Rovsing capitalised development costs and product rights totaling DKK 10,9 million and a tax asset of DKK 2,1 million. There is a risk that the products developed cannot be sold to the extent expected and/or that the Company does not generate a profit in the coming


financial years, and that the capitalised development costs, product rights and/or tax asset will be written off in connection with future financial statements. Such a scenario will affect Rovsing's results and balance sheet.

Exchange rate risk

In the space industry, the Company's contracts are primarily concluded in EUR or USD. As the Danish krone is pegged to the Euro, the exchange rate risk in this connection is low. However, exchange rate risk occurs while the Company enters into contracts in USD.

INDUSTRY SPECIFIC RISK

Competitors may drive the Company out of the market

The Company is competing in an ever-changing market with a large number of development businesses in Europe, including a few in Denmark.

As the Company's customers increasingly use standard products, there is a risk that one or more competitors develop competing standard products which become market leading. This and/or the general competition from other development businesses may entail a substantial reduction of the Company's revenue and may in that case materially affect the Company's results going forward.

Aerospace market may be affected by ESA membership

The Company's market segment mainly consists of the institutional European aerospace market and exclusively exists owing to Denmark's ESA membership.

If Denmark terminates its membership or reduces its contribution considerably, a very substantial part of Rovsing's market will cease to exist, and this will have a very significant impact on the Company's activities, results and financial position. Changes to the geographical return rules may affect the Company's earnings. Lastly, stricter enforcement of the rules, e.g. so that the four large countries (Great Britain, France, Italy and Germany) of ESA's 22-member states gain a larger portion of the contracts, will make the market conditions much more difficult. This also involves a risk to the Company's future development in the European space industry.

At a meeting of ministers in November 2019, Denmark confirmed its continued ESA membership and participation in optional programmes for the period 2020 - 2022 for an aggregate amount of DKK 360 million. This

combined with the mandatory membership fee brings Denmark's contribution to ESA programmes to approximately DKK 240 million a year, which is largely unchanged on the years before.

Hence, there are currently no signs that Denmark is about to withdraw from the ESA collaboration.

Nor are there any signs that the geographical return rules will be abolished or that ESA will apply the return rule more arbitrarily in the future, but there is not guarantee of that. There is a risk that changed political priorities may materially affect the member states' funding of ESA programmes, which in that case will affect the Company's prospective income and have a material adverse impact on results.

In 2016 and earlier, ESA commenced discussions with the delegates of the member states regarding a different procurement policy for its future programmes, and during 2017 ESA completed a pilot project with the new procurement policy for the FLEX and PLATO programmes.

Although there are no indications that this new procurement policy will have a negative impact on the geographical return rules, or that ESA will apply the return rules more arbitrarily in the future, there is no guarantee of that.

ESA contracts involve a process in which the individual companies that have submitted bids for the individual project are assessed, and the individual project participants are subsequently selected. A kick-off meeting is held where the selected project participant receives an approval to commence the project, but the actual contract is signed at a later point in time. This process involves a risk that the contracts are never signed and that only the approved part is completed. Rovsing has never experienced a situation where a kicked off contract was not completed, but there is no guarantee that this will not happen. In that case, such a process may involve substantial losses for the Company.

Complaint costs

In connection with the development and delivery of Rovsing's high-tech solutions, extensive testing is often conducted in collaboration with customers. However, there is a risk that the products contain defects that are not detected during testing. This may subsequently result in complaint costs.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
24

To the Shareholders of Rovsing A/S

OPINION

In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Company's assets, liabilities and financial position at 30 June 2021 and of the results of the Company's operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 July 2020 – 30 June 2021 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Our opinion is consistent with our long-form audit report to the Board or Directors and the Audit Committee.

Audited financial statements

Rovsing A/S financial statements for the financial year 1 July 2020 – 30 June 2021 comprise the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and notes, including summary of significant accounting policies, for the Company (the financial statements). The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.

BASIS FOR OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark.

Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the "Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements" section of our report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Independence

We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these rules and requirements.

We declare, to the best of our knowledge and belief, that we have not provided any prohibited non-audit services, as referred to in Article 5(1) of the Regulation (EU) 537/2014 and that we remained independent in conducting the audit.


25

Independent auditor's report

We were appointed auditors of Rovsing A/S for the first time at the annual general meeting on 3 November 2020 for the financial year ending 30 June 2021.

KEY AUDIT MATTERS

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the financial year 1 July 2020 – 30 June 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in the forming of our opinion thereon. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters

Valuation of intangible assets

Completed development projects represent DKK 10.8 million corresponding to 43% of the Company's assets.

Management conducts annual impairment test to determine whether the carrying amounts of recognised completed development projects are considered to be impaired and, hence, should be written down to the recoverable amount.

Management determines the recoverable amount of the completed development projects using a discounted cash flow model (value in use).

Key assumptions used in the impairment test are increase in revenue and margin and the applied discount rate.

The audit of the recoverable amount has been considered a key audit matter as the determination of the recoverable value is associated with significant estimation uncertainty.

Reference is made to note 13 to the financial statements and the accounting policies.

Revenue recognition

The Company delivers long term contracts, which typically extends over more than one financial year. Due to the nature of these contracts and in accordance with the accounting principles, the Company recognises and measures revenue from such long term contracts over time based on the percentage of completion method.

The percentage of completion is calculated on the basis of the contract costs incurred at the balance sheet date in relation to the estimated total cost of completing the contract.

The audit of the recognition and measurement has been considered a key audit matter as there is a risk that the estimated total costs of the contract are not accurately determined.

Reference is made to note 3 to the financial statements and the accounting policies.

How our audit addressed the key audit matter

For the purpose of our audit, the procedures we carried out included the following:

  • We have discussed with Management and evaluated the internal controls and procedures for preparing impairment tests and the budget and forecasts.
  • We have focused our audit on the appropriateness of models and the key assumptions used by Management to calculate the values in use and assessed the consistency of the assumptions applied to internal and external information obtained.
  • We have assessed the documentation that supports the key assumptions applied and challenged management use of these assumptions.
  • In addition, we have assessed whether the disclosures; Note 13 Intangible Assets in the financial statements meet the requirements of IFRS.

For the purpose of our audit, the procedures we carried out included the following:

  • We have considered the appropriateness of the Company's revenue recognition policy and assessed its compliance with IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
  • We have discussed with Management and evaluated the internal controls and procedures for the revenue recognition.
  • We have discussed with Management the key judgements related to recognition of revenue.
  • We have performed retrospective reviews of realised contract costs to determine the historical accuracy of estimated total costs for completing the contracts.
  • We have reconciled the terms in the contracts with customers to project calculations supporting the revenue recognition including contract value and the projected stages of completion for the contracts.
  • We have reconciled the actual realised costs to the calculations of percentage of completion supporting the revenue recognition and the estimated total costs to complete to the latest updated projections approved by Management.
  • In addition, we have assessed whether the disclosures; Note 3 Revenue in the financial statements meet the requirements of IFRS.

26

STATEMENT ON THE MANAGEMENT'S REVIEW

Management is responsible for the Management's review.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Management's review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Management's review and, in doing so, consider whether the Management's review is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management's review provides the information required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Based on the work we have performed, we conclude that the Management's review is in accordance with the financial statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial Statement Act. We did not identify any material misstatement of the Management's review.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and additional requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such internal control that Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.


27

Independent auditor's report

In preparing the financial statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or the override of internal control.

  • obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

  • evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

  • conclude on the appropriateness of Management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.


28

Independent auditor's report

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate to them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated to those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determined that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

NOTES

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The annual report for 2020/21, which comprises the Company's financial statements, has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union and additional Danish disclosure requirements for class D companies for listed companies.

The accounting policies are consistent with those applied in 2019/20.

The annual report is presented in DKK thousands (DKK '000).

Relevant new accounting standards

The annual report is presented in accordance with the standards (IFRS/IAS) and interpretations (IFRIC) applicable for financial years beginning on 1 July 2020 or later.

In the current year, the Company has applied a number of amendments to IFRS Standards and Interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU that are effective for an annual period that begins on or after 30 June 2020. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these financial statements.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

The IASB has issued a number of new amended standards and interpretations that are not mandatory for the financial statements for 2021/22. Some of which have not yet been endorsed by the EU. Rovsing A/S expects to adopt the standards and interpretations when they become mandatory. None of these are expected to have a significant impact on recognition and measurement but may lead to further disclosures in the notes.

Foreign currency translation

Rovsing uses DKK as it's functional and presentation currency.

On initial recognition, transactions denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate ruling on the transaction date. Foreign exchange differences arising between the exchange rate at the transaction date and at the date of payment are recognised in the income statement under financial income or expenses.

Receivables, payables and other monetary items denominated in foreign currency are translated at the exchange rates ruling at the balance sheet date. The difference between the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date and the exchange rate at the date when the receivable or payable arose or was recognised in the most recent financial statements is recognised in the income statement under financial income or expenses.

Segments

The Company consists of one segment as per the definition within IFRS 8, which constitute the entire Company, and as such the segment disclosures are prepared based on this assumption. Consequently, the Company has not been organized around differences in products and services, geographical areas, regulatory environment or otherwise.

Applying materiality

The provisions in IFRS contain extensive disclosure requirements. The specific disclosures required according to IFRS are stated in the consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report unless the disclosures concerned are considered irrelevant or immaterial for financial decisions made by the financial statement users.

Going concern

Management is required to decide whether the financial statements can be presented on a 'going concern' basis. Based on estimated future prospects, expectations of future cash flows, existence of credit facilities, etc., Management is of the opinion that the Company can continue operating for at least 12 months from the balance sheet date, for further see note 2.


37

NOTES

Revenue

Income from the sale of goods and services is recognised in the income statement when each of the separate performance obligations are satisfied. Revenue is recognised excluding VAT and taxes and net of discounts related to sales. Each revenue line is subject to the 5-step model which includes: Identification of contract, separation of performance obligations in each contract, determining the transaction price, allocation of price to identified performance obligations and recognition of revenue.

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to our customers at an amount that reflects the transaction price to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for these goods or services.

Revenue from projects, products, and services (with the exception of sale of service hours) is recognised over time, using the cost-to-cost method, when we have no alternative use for the goods or services to be delivered and we have an enforceable right to payment for work completed.

If we do have an alternative use for the goods or services to be delivered, e.g. products with a low degree of customisation, such sales will be recognised at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, usually upon delivery.

The percentage of completion for projects is determined on the basis of expenses incurred to date for engineering hours etc. associated with developing, manufacturing and installing the product relative to the expected overall expenses for completion of the projects.

Production costs, external

Other operating costs include cost of goods sold and other external costs incurred to generate the revenue for the year.

Other operating income

Other operating income includes grants, which are recognised in step with completion of the activity eligible for grant.

Other external costs

Other external costs comprise expenses for distribution, sale, marketing, administration, premises, etc.

Warrants

For equity-settled stock options and warrants, the fair value is measured at the grant date and recognised in the income statement under staff costs over the vesting period. The balancing item is recognised directly in equity.

On initial recognition of the stock options, the number of options expected to vest is estimated. Subsequently, adjustment is made only for changes in the number of employees estimated to become entitled to options or warrants.

The fair value is determined according to the Black-Scholes method.

Financial income and expenses

Financial income and expenses include interest income and expenses, exchange gains and losses on securities, payables and transactions in foreign currencies, amortisation of financial assets and liabilities.

Tax

Tax on the profit/loss for the year, consisting of the year's current tax, movements in deferred tax and any prior-year adjustments, is recognised in the income statement as regards the amount that can be attributed to the profit/loss for the year and posted in other comprehensive income or directly in equity as regards the amount that can be attributed to movements in equity.

Deferred tax is measured in accordance with the balance sheet liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities.

The tax value of tax losses carried forward is included in the statement of the deferred tax if the loss is likely to be utilised.

Deferred tax is measured on the basis of the tax regulations and rates that apply at the balance sheet date and are expected to apply at the time when the deferred tax is expected to crystallise as current tax.

Changes in deferred tax due to changes in the tax rates are recognised in the income statement as regards the share that relates to the net profit or loss for the year, whereas the share that relates to entries directly in equity is taken to other comprehensive income or directly to equity.


38

NOTES

Intangible assets

Intangible assets recognised in the balance sheet are measured at the lower of cost less accumulated amortisation and the recoverable amount.

Investments in development comprise costs and wages directly attributable to the Company's development activities.

Development projects which are clearly defined and identifiable, where the level of technical utilisation, sufficient resources and a potential future market or business opportunity for the Company can be demonstrated, and where the intention is to manufacture, market or utilise the project, are recognised as intangible assets if the cost can be reliably measured, and there is sufficient certainty that the future earnings can cover production and sales costs, administrative expenses and investments in development.

After completion of the development work, development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life.

Grants received to cover capitalised development costs are recognised as reduction in the cost of the development asset when the development asset is ready for use and is recognised in the profit & loss as the developed asset is amortised.

Other development costs are recognised in the income statement as incurred.

The usual amortisation period is three to ten years. Acquired rights are amortised over ten years.

Impairment of intangible assets

Development projects in progress are tested for impairment annually by comparing the carrying amounts of the assets with their recoverable amounts. Other development projects are reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine whether there are any indications of impairment in excess of the amount provided for by normal depreciation. If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, it is tested for impairment.

If the carrying amount of development projects exceeds their recoverable amount, the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount.

Property, plant and equipment

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets.

Tools and equipment and software are depreciated over three to five years.

Software is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.

Software is depreciated using the straight-line method over its expected useful life, estimated at three to five years. The assets' residual values and useful lives are assessed annually and adjusted, if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. Gains or losses on the disposal or removal of assets are recognised in the income statement under the same items as the related assets.

Rental and lease matters

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the payments, which are fixed or variable dependent on an index or a rate.

The lease payments are discounted using the implied interest rate of the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case for leases in Rovsing, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the lease asset. Service components are excluded from the lease liability.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance costs. The finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs, and any restoration costs.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. If Rovsing is reasonably certain to exercise a purchase option,


39

NOTES

the right-of-use asset is depreciated over the underlying asset's useful life.

Payments associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognised as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Low-value assets comprise IT-equipment and small items of office furniture.

Impairment of property, plant and equipment

Depreciable assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis to determine any indications of impairment in excess of what is expressed in the normal depreciation of assets. If there is an indication that an asset may be impaired, it is tested for impairment. Where the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, the value is written down to the lower recoverable amount.

Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost in accordance with the FIFO (first in, first out) method and the net realisable value. Goods for resale are measured at cost, comprising the purchase price plus delivery costs.

The net realisable value of inventories is calculated as the sales amount less costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale and is determined taking into account marketability, obsolescence and development in expected selling price.

Receivables

Receivables are measured at amortised cost. Provision is made for bad debts. The company's revenue is generated on relatively few customers and in recent periods there have been no losses on receivables. The company applies the simplified approach to measure expected credit losses as trade receivables do not contain a significant financing component. ECL is determined based on days past due and credit risk in groupings of customer segments.

Contract work in progress

Contract work in progress is measured at the selling price of the production performed. The selling price is calculated with due consideration to costs of completion as basis for estimation of delivered performance obligations, adjusted for any ascertained losses.

On-account payments received are deducted from the item contract work in progress. On account payments received over and beyond the completed part of the project are calculated separately for each contract and recognised in the item prepayments from customers.

Prepayments

Prepayments comprise costs incurred relating to subsequent financial years.

Equity

Reserve for development costs. The reserve for internal development costs comprises capitalized development costs. This reserve cannot be used for dividends or distributions, or to cover losses. If the recognized development costs are sold or otherwise excluded from the company's operations, the reserve will be dissolved and transferred directly to the distributable reserves under equity. If the recognized development costs are written down, the part of the reserve corresponding to the write-down of the development costs will be reserved. If a write-down of development costs is subsequently reserved, the reserve will be re-established. The reserve is reduced by amortization of capitalized development costs on an ongoing basis.

Pension obligations

Contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred.

Other provisions

Other provisions are recognised when, as a consequence of an event occurring before or at the balance sheet date, the Company has a legal or constructive obligation, and it is probable that there may be an outflow of economic benefits to meet the obligation.

Current and non-current liabilities

Current liabilities, which comprise loans, trade payables, bond loans and other payables, are measured at amortised cost.

Deferred income

Deferred income comprises payments received relating to income in subsequent financial years.

Cash flow statement

The Company's cash flow statement shows the cash flows for the year, broken down by operating, investing and financing activities, and the year's changes in cash and cash equivalents as well as cash

and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.

Cash flows from operating activities are calculated indirectly as the profit or loss for the year, adjusted for non-cash operating items, financial items paid and tax paid.

Working capital includes current assets less current liabilities, exclusive of the items included in cash. Cash flows from investing activities comprise the acquisition and disposal of intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and financial assets as well as the purchase of short-term securities.

Cash flows from financing activities comprise the raising of loans and repayment of loans and contribution of capital through share issues.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise deposits with banks.

NOTES
NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

When preparing the financial statements, the use of reasonable estimates and judgments is an essential part. Given the uncertainties inherent in our business activities, Management makes a number of accounting estimates and judgments. The estimates and judgments are based on assumptions which form the basis for recognition and measurement of our assets, liabilities, cash flows and related disclosures. Estimates and judgments are regularly reassessed.

Key accounting estimates are expectations of the future based on assumptions, that to the extent possible are supported by historical experience, customer demands, competitor actions and other reasonable expectations. Estimates, by their nature, are associated with uncertainty and unpredictability. The actual amounts may differ from the amounts estimated as more detailed information becomes available. Management believe that the estimates are reasonable, appropriate and the most likely outcome of future events under the given circumstances.

Key accounting judgments are made when applying accounting policies. Key accounting judgments are judgments made, that can have a significant impact on recognition, classification and disclosures of amounts in the financial statements.

Intangible assets

For each project, Management assesses whether the criteria for recognition as intangible assets are met. Completed development projects and product rights are tested annually for indication of impairment. If impairment is identified, an impairment test is performed for the individual development projects.

The carrying amount of completed development projects is DKK 10,832 thousand (2019/20: DKK 13,513 thousand). An impairment has been recognized for 2020/21 of DKK 516 thousand, for further see note 13. For the remaining completed development projects, these relates to the development projects SAS and PSCOE, for further see note 13. An impairment test was prepared for both assets, and the recoverable amounts were estimated to be higher than the carrying amounts for all assets. The most significant assumptions are the revenue back log, cost and expenses associated with both assets. The assumptions used when preparing the impairment tests were:

  • Revenue is for 2021/22 based on current order back log, which is secured, and for 2022/23 revenue is based on a combination of order back log and estimated revenue. Revenue for 2023/24 and onwards is based on estimated growth rates of average 2%.
  • Cost and expenses assumptions are based on empirical data from 2020/21 and then inflated as this is considered representative for the future.
  • WACC amounts to 9% (2019/20: 9%)
  • Terminal growth 1% (2019/20: 1%). Management believes that the growth rate is reasonable based on demand within the space industry.

The value in use amounts were calculated as future free cash flows based on budgets for 2021/22 and forecasts for the following years incorporating the assumptions used in the financial budgets. The forecast period amounted to 5 years.

Any reasonable possible change in the key assumptions on which the recoverable amount is based would not cause the carrying amount to exceed the recoverable amount.

Development projects in progress are subject to an annual impairment test. Development projects amounts to DKK 90 thousand and no impairment has been recognized.

Contract work in progress

Contract work in progress include non-invoiced services with a value of DKK 10,2 million (2019/20: DKK 11,8 million), which is recognised on the basis of an assessment of the percentage of completion of the delivered service. This assessment is based on the value of fees calculated using standard hourly rates. The fee value is adjusted to match the value calculated according to an estimated percentage of completion. This is part of the ongoing financial management process, and previously made estimates of the percentage of completion are regularly followed up, which reduces uncertainty associated with the calculation of the percentage of completion. See note 18.

Funding in 2020/21

The income statement shows a loss for the year of DKK 3,4 million and the Company has lost above 50% of its registered share capital. Funding in 2021/22 is based on a cash flow forecast with positive cash flow from operations together with a continuation of the existing short-term funding facility provided by Jyske Bank. In addition, the


42

NOTES

funding in 2021/22 is based on the convertible bond loan of DKK 4,2 million, which was refinanced in December 2020 and the new loan is due 31 December 2023. If the loan is repaid before 31 December 2023 the loan is repaid at a rate of 108.

During 2020/21 Rovsing, Jyske Bank and EKF collaborated on a loan facility, guaranteed by EKF, to finance a major project for the customer Thales Alenia Space UK, which helps to secure the necessary working capital to handle several major projects at the same time. This collaboration will continue in 2021/22.

Under the current rules for listed companies, Rovsing may issue new shares for up to 20% of the Company's existing share capital within a financial year. Within this framework, the size of a potential capital increase will be assessed relative to the immediate liquidity requirements.

In recent years, the company has succeeded in raising temporary loans to supplement the credit line in Jyske Bank to cover the need for working capital when necessary.

Based on this, the financial statement has been prepared based on a going concern assumption.

Deferred tax

Rovsing recognises deferred tax assets, including the value of tax-loss carry forwards, if Management considers it likely that there will be sufficient taxable income in future.

Management has as of 30 June 2021 prepared an assessment, which is based on budgets and business plans for a period of 5 years. The assessment is to a large extent backed up by the strong order back log for 2021/22, which has secured a significant part of the 2021/22 budget already and provided a basis for future growth, as well as future prospects from a growing industry where demand within the space industry has increased significantly over the last few years.

The Company's Executive Management has a bonus scheme based on achieved revenue and EBITDA. In addition, the Executive Management has an incentive programme, under which warrants vest on the basis of the Executive Management member's employment with the Company.

The service contract with the CEO and CFO may be terminated by the CEO/CFO giving three months' notice and by the Company giving 6 months' notice.

No remuneration has been agreed in connection with the CEO/CFO's potential resignation, and there are no special severance provisions for the CEO/CFO in connection with a takeover of the Company.

6 SHARE-BASED PAYMENT

The expense for share-based payments is calculated under the provision for share-based payments in accordance with IFRS 2. The warrant program has been recognized as an equity program and measured at the fair value of the option at the time of granting using the Black-Scholes formula. The fair value is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

Rovsing A/S has a warrant incentive programme for the Company's Board of Directors, CEO and CFO. The programme comprises a total of 55,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to buy one share of DKK 50 each in Rovsing A/S. In addition, there are 3,300 warrants issued under the previous authorization totaling 58,300 outstanding warrants. No amounts are paid or payable by the recipient on receipt of the option. The options carry neither rights to dividends nor voting rights.

The outstanding warrants for the CEO and CFO equals $2.2\%$ of the share capital if all warrants are exercised. The vesting of warrants for the CEO and CFO is based on employment with the Company. For the CEO and CFO all 10.299 warrants were vested after 12 month (Oct. 2018), 24 month (Oct. 2019) and 36 months (Oct. 2020), respectively. The warrants are issued with an exercise price of DKK 75 each. The vesting of the warrants were subject to continued employment in the Company.


45

NOTES

The outstanding warrants for the Board of Directors equal 9.0% of the share capital if all warrants are exercised. For the Board of Directors all 42.205 warrants were vested after 12 month (Oct. 2018), 24 month (Oct. 2019) and 36 months (Oct. 2020), respectively. The warrants are issued with an exercise price of DKK 75 each. Exercise of warrants has been extended from 36 to 60 months after the grant and thus expires December 2022. The subscription period is 4 weeks unless the Board of Directors decides otherwise. Options are forfeited if the employee leaves the Group before the options vest.

At 30 June 2021 all warrants are fully vested. In 2020/21 the costs recognised in the income statement relating to warrants is DKK 0 (2019/20: DKK 0).

The calculation of fair value using the Black-Scholes model is made on the assumption of a volatility of 57.6%, a dividend payout ratio of 0% and an annual risk-free interest rate of 0.5%. Expected volatility is calculated as volatility during the last 30 days of trading and amounts to 57.6%. The volatility percentage is based on Management estimation, and if this is increased by 10% it would impact the fair market value per share by 4 DKK positively and if it decreases by 10% it would impact the fair market value per share by 4 DKK negatively.

All intangible assets are considered to have a limited useful life.

An impairment of DKK 516 thousand has been recognized in 2020/21 related to the DSTE product-line, which is expected to be partially phased out in the coming years, and consequently because this is not part of the future strategy of the Company and cash flows from this cannot be measured reliable there is no support for the carrying amount at 30 June 2021 and consequently an impairment has been made. The impairment has been recognized in the income statement in the financial statement captions "Impairment".

At 30 June 2021, Completed development projects comprise the internally generated project SAS with a carrying amount of DKK 9,449 thousand (30 June 2020: DKK 10,805 thousand) and the internally generated project PSCOE with a carrying amount of DKK 1,383 thousand (30 June 2020: DKK 2,708 thousand).

At 30 June 2021, Management performed an impairment test of the carrying amount of intangible assets. Assets are written down to the lower of the recoverable amount and the carrying amount. The recoverable amount in this year's test is based on the value in use of the expected cash flow on the basis of budgets and forecasts for the future.

Reference is furthermore made to Note 2 on significant judgement and estimates regarding the impairment test for 2020/21.

22 FINANCIAL RISKS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to a number of financial risks, the most important of which are foreign currency and interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk.

The Company does not actively speculate in financial risk, and accordingly, the financial strategy aims exclusively to manage and mitigate financial risks that arise as a consequence of the Company's operations, investments and financing.

Foreign currency risk

Most of the Company's contracts are invoiced in EUR or USD. As the Danish krone is pegged to EUR, the Company's EUR risk is considered minimal. Risk attaching to USD is assessed in an ongoing process, as a result of which in 2019/20 the Company did not use financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency risk. The Company monitors developments in EUR/USD/DKK and regularly assesses whether to hedge its exposure to EUR and USD.

Foreign currency exposure:

Nominal position
Cash and receivables Financial liabilities
EUR receivables/payables) 4,630 127
EUR/USD (cash) 154 0
4,784 127

Interest rate risk

The Company had net payables to credit institutions of DKK 3,181 thousand at 30 June 2021. The debt carries a floating interest rate based on the money market rate. Interest rates paid on payables to credit institutions in 2020/21 was 7.0%. In the period 1 July until 31 December the Company had net payables to bond holders of DKK 4,200 thousand with a fixed interest rate of 8% and from 1 January until 30 June the refinanced bond loan of DKK 4,200 thousand carried an interest of 12%.

Based on recognised financial assets and liabilities at 30 June 2021, without considering repayments, loans raised and the like in 2020/21, a 1% increase in interest rates would raise the Company's expenses by DKK 0,1 million. A 1% decline in interest rates would result in a correspondingly lower interest expense.

The Company has not used financial instruments to hedge expected developments in interest rates.


55

NOTES

Liquidity risk

Significant, unforeseen liquidity fluctuations are primarily associated with the commercial risks referred to in the section "Risk factors" and breaching of milestones in contracts. The Company aims to have sufficient cash resources to allow it to operate adequately in case of unforeseen fluctuations in liquidity. The Company regularly assesses its cash resources relative to budgets and forecasts for cash flows in future periods.

Credit risk

As a result of the Company's operations and funding activities, the Company is exposed to credit risk. The Company's credit risks are related to trade receivables and cash. No credit risk is considered to exist in relation to cash as the counterparty is Jyske Bank. Payables to the counterparty exceed cash deposits with the counterparty.

Most of the Company's revenue derives from ESA space industry projects. ESA is the joint-European development organisation for various space programmes. ESA's 22-member states (including Denmark) together funds the activities of ESA. The credit risk associated with ESA is considered minimal. The remaining part of the Company's revenue derives from large, well-consolidated international companies, for which the credit risk is considered minimal.

The Company's financial assets liabilities fall due as follows:
