dear shareholder,
"THE PAST YEAR HAS NOT BEEN WITHOUT CHALLENGES FOR RTX, BUT LOOKING FORWARD WE STAND IN FRONT OF HARVESTING ON THE INVESTMENTS THAT WE HAVE MADE OVER THE LATest YEARS
Jesper Mailind, President & CEO
In the financial year 2011/12 RTX was impacted by the general economic development, and the demand for telephony products and accessories did not live up to our expectations. On the other hand, the sales of wireless design solutions and associated customer specific modules and components have developed well with our existing customers, and we developed new customer relationships.
Looking forward we are cautiously optimistic despite the continued uncertainty about the global economic development. The past years' turnaround in RTX, combined with investments and the strengthening of the business, makes RTX well prepared for the future. RTX is positioned to take advantage of the growing market for wireless communications, among others within the rapidly emerging area "The Internet of Things", where different devices are connected via the Internet. This applies to both communications from wireless sensors and communications solutions
based on IP telephony in the Enterprise field.
At the beginning of the financial year 2012/13 RTX stands with an almost finished complete renewal of the product range both within the Enterprise telephony field and within solutions to the SME business. The up-to-date products give RTX good opportunities to further penetrate the attractive verticals in these markets, where there are no imminent alternatives.
We have broadened our scope within the Wi-Fi area, among others by the cooperation initiated with Qualcomm Atheros. This cooperation is important to RTX, as it gives us access to Wi-Fi technology with low power consumption. In addition, the appointment of RTX as an official "design partner" for Qualcomm Atheros is a considerable recognition of our skills within complicated wireless systems. Our presence within the Wi-Fi area and the partnership with Qualcomm Atheros will bring
RTX in contact with completely new customer groups for sales of both design projects and standard or customized wireless modules.
The sales and distribution platform has been strengthened and enlarged globally over the past year in both our business units, enabling us to better capitalize on the investments made in the product portfolio and new technologies. In addition, we have continued to improve business processes, risk management and governance in order to facilitate the daily operation.
Consequently, RTX stands in front of executing on these opportunities in the coming years to the benefit of shareholders, stakeholders and employees.
The Supervisory Board proposes that the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting authorize the Company to acquire treasury shares at a total nominal value of up to 10% of the Company's share capital.

summary for the year
The total revenue was lower than the previous financial year, but RTX generated positive results on EBIT level for the financial year 2011/12. The general economic climate impacted the growth in RTX, and consequently, in the interim report for the third quarter of 2011/12, RTX had to adjust the Group prospects on revenue and result for the financial year 2011/12. The gross margin improved due to changes in the product mix and the past years' focus. The capacity costs were kept on par with 2010/11, but depreciation and amortization increased as a consequence of the full year impact from amortization of the IP DECT - SME VoIP platform. Given RTX's strong solvency RTX decided to continue investments in new technologies and product platforms during the financial year, well aware that these investments would impact both EBIT and cash flow for the year. The ground for future development and growth has thus been laid by both business units.
In order to better reflect the breadth of RTX's offerings, as expert in designing and developing wireless communications solutions, the official name was
changed from RTX Telecom A/S to RTX A/S. The name change reflects that RTX's wireless technology is applied in more areas beyond those that are telephony related, including healthcare, home automation and machine to machine automation. At the same time, RTX's two business units also changed name to better reflect the core of their activity. RTX Technology was renamed to Design Services, and RTX Products was renamed to Enterprise & VoIP.
Design Services, who is an R&D design partner of wireless solutions and a supplier of wireless modules and test systems, grew 17.7% in revenue compared to the previous financial year. The growth was driven both by existing and new engineering design customers, and by a substantial growth within the ODM business. The result for the test systems was on par with the year before. The business unit achieved for the financial year a result that was better than the previous financial year.
Enterprise & VoIP, a supplier of advanced IP-telephony solutions for the Enterprise and SME market, experienced a negative revenue development of 18.9%. The business unit, being an OEM/ODM supplier, was impacted by lower demand from their customers, due to the weak economic climate. The gross margin was on par with the previous financial year, but due to the investments made in new product platforms the business unit generated a negative result for the financial year.
Financial highlights:
• In the financial year 2011/12 RTX achieved total revenue of DKK 191.3 million compared to DKK 204.9 million in the previous financial year. Revenue thus decreased by 6.6%. The realized revenue is lower than the revenue prospects stated in the financial report 2010/11 which was a revenue in the range of DKK 205-225 million for 2011/12. However, due to lowered forecasts from a number of the Group's customers during the summer 2012, RTX revised in the interim report for the third quarter of 2011/12 the revenue prospects to be around DKK 190 million.

- • The gross margin improved from 57.9% in the last financial year to 59.9% in 2011/12.
- • EBIT amounts to DKK 2.5 million, or 1.3%, compared to DKK 9.0 million, or 4.4% for the previous financial year. The realized EBIT result is lower than the EBIT prospects stated in the financial report for 2010/11 which was an EBIT result in the range of DKK 10-12 million for 2011/12. The EBIT prospects were in the interim report for the third quarter of 2011/12 revised to a range of DKK 2-3 million.
- • The capacity costs are on par with the previous year and contain significant investments in new technologies and new product platforms.
- • The operating cash flow amounts to DKK -8.2 million compared to DKK 17.0 million in the previous financial year. The net cash flow was heavily impacted by an increase in the working capital. Some products were phased out by the end of Q4 2010/11,
and RTX therefore ended with a low inventory in 2010/11. The launch of a new Skype phone and the launch of the first handset for Alcatel were in 2011/12 the main drivers behind an increased inventory which also increased the working capital. Even though RTX received external funding of DKK 5.0 million concerning the Enterprise platform, the net cash flow for 2011/12 was impacted by the continued investments in own development. The net cash flow for the year was consequently negative with DKK 18.8 million compared to a positive cash flow of DKK 1.0 million for the previous financial year.
• Development costs increased with DKK 11.5 million in 2011/12 to DKK 37.2 million. The capitalized development costs for new technologies and new product platforms are DKK 12.5 million compared to DKK 12.3 million the previous year. Amortization on development projects in 2011/12 amounted to DKK -3.7 million compared to DKK -0.9 million in 2010/11.
- • The Group's equity amounted to DKK 156.3 million on 30 September 2012, which is an increase of DKK 4.4 million compared to the financial year 2010/11.
- • The profit after tax amounted to DKK 1.9 million compared to DKK 3.9 million in the previous financial year.
The key business highlights:
- • RTX changed name to better reflect the breadth of RTX's offerings, as expert in designing and developing wireless communications solutions. The official name was changed from RTX Telecom A/S to RTX A/S. The name change reflects that RTX's wireless technology goes into more areas beyond those that are telephony related, including healthcare, home automation and machine to machine automation.
- • Qualcomm Atheros appointed RTX as an authorized design partner. The agreement enables Design Services to design on Qualcomm Atheros' Wi-Fi semiconductors and to offer low power Wi-Fi modules and customized solutions based on Qualcomm Atheros technology.
- • Enterprise & VoIP has established a long-term cooperation with Alcatel Lucent concerning development and delivery of a new IP DECT product program. The first handsets to Alcatel Lucent were delivered on schedule in June 2012.
- • The Company's IP DECT VoIP system was made interoperable with several leading PBX systems and the global distribution was substantially increased. The sales of the IP DECT – VoIP system grew satisfactorily during the year.

Design Services
Market and customers
Design Services is an R&D design outsourcing partner providing advanced wireless solutions, standardized or customized wireless modules, and test systems to major global brand owners. The solutions are typically applied within medical equipment, sensor solutions for home automation or industrial applications, wireless headsets, intercom systems, professional audio, gaming and machine to machine (M2M) communications.
Design Services has thorough technological knowledge of design and system integration of wireless protocols, products and solutions within the technologies Wi-Fi™, DECT, CAT-iq™, Bluetooth®, derivatives of these technologies, and within proprietary TDMA systems and cellular systems. The business unit has a longstanding close co-operation with semiconductor suppliers providing the above technologies in their ICs (integrated circuits).
In the engineering design services part of the business, Design Services acts as system integrator between the product owners, typically a major global company, and the IC supplier. The system expertise is a key differentiator between RTX and its design services competitors. The projects typically focus on new products and/or on new features in the customer's product portfolio, which are developed on the basis of Design Services' innovative software solutions, combined with the possibilities that exist in the ICs. The projects are typically carried out as customer paid development contracts based on a fixed NRE (Non-Recurring Engineering) amount with milestone payments.
In the wireless module area RTX offers standardized low power wireless modules based on Wi-Fi, DECT (Voice) or DECT ULE radio technologies. The modules are typically designed into major brand owners' products. In addition, RTX offers to take projects from the development stage into delivery of a final ODM product, often in the form of a customized module for integration in the customer's final product.
The test solutions combine Design Services' experience within complex wireless system development with the understanding of manufacturing electronic products, enabling Design Services to write test specifications as well as designing both standardized and customized test solutions. Design Services offers a portfolio of dedicated measuring- and test instruments consisting of both RFtesters and automatized production test equipment. In addition, Design Services offers turnkey test solutions customized for the customers' proprietary wireless systems as well as test set-up for laboratory and development use.
The year under review
For the financial year 2011/12 Design Services generated revenue of DKK 86.0 million, a growth of 17.7% compared to the previous financial year, which is highly satisfactory. All areas, the engineering design services, ODM, test systems and royalty came in at higher levels than the year before, and especially the ODM products grew substantially during the year.
The engineering design services, covering customer paid development projects, represent the main revenue for Design Services. Throughout the year, RTX continued work for a number of long-standing customers where Design Services plays the role as domain expert maintaining the wireless platform for the customer. In addition, new important customers were developed during the year.
Design Services has during the financial year worked on projects within audio, home automation and healthcare. Services with radio technologies as Bluetooth®, Wi-Fi™, DECT/CAT-iq™ and proprietary TDMA were offered to existing core customers.
The ODM business developed very satisfactorily with substantial growth from both existing and new customers. Revenue is generated from module units for integration into the customer's product. The ODM supplies typically follow an engineering design project, where Design Services offers supply of fully tested and certified mountingready components.
RTX was during the year appointed as an authorized design partner for Qualcomm Atheros. This was an important milestone and a considerable recognition of RTX's competencies and knowhow. The cooperation with Qualcomm Atheros has since the financial year 2010/11 broadened RTX's presence in the Wi-Fi field. The partnership with Qualcomm Atheros gives RTX access to the newest low power Wi-Fi technology which Design Services uses in design projects for customers, and in standardized and customized wireless modules. To ensure a low risk and fast-to-market launch of these new products a European PCBA supplier has been qualified to compliment our current suppliers.
During the year Design Services continued the development of low power wireless technologies and platforms, and introduced the low power wireless modules RTX4100 Wi-Fi and RTX 1050/1055 DECT ULE. The modules address wireless M2M communications within home automation, healthcare or the industrial space, where there is a growing need for among other sensor communication. The modules

are thus prepared for connectivity to various sensors such as temperature, humidity, pressure, light and movement. The modules are IPv6 enabled, which means they are able to be accessed via the internet, and can be accessed via a number of cloud service providers.
The modules were introduced in June and October 2012 respectively and are marketed in cooperation with wellestablished electronics distributors like Arrow Electronics and CODICO. In addition, the sales force in the US and Europe has been strengthened during the year, and a US web store is up and running mainly to support the standard module business.
The test solution business showed modest growth over the previous year, with revenue generated from both existing and new customers. A contract for the multi-purpose test unit Smart ATE2300 was signed with a larger existing customer. A satisfactory sale of DECT and CAT-iq testers was achieved through the Asian distribution, driven by the increased demand to build DECT/ CAT-iq into home gateways. During the financial year 2011/12 the RTX test solutions started supporting LabVIEW™, which is a widespread user interface across several market segments.
Market opportunities and outlook
The world demand for wireless communication from sensors in a multitude of areas grows substantially in these years. This concerns among others wireless sensors for home automation and/or process controls to increase productivity in industrial or medical-related applications. With the initiatives taken in the past couple of years, where RTX has invested in low-energy versions
Market Wheel Design Services
The market wheel illustrates relevant customer segments for Design Services. The products are examples where Design Services offerings are integrated.
of the wireless technologies Wi-Fi and DECT, RTX is well positioned to benefit from this market development both as what concerns new design contracts and OEM/ODM business.
The new standard low power Wi-Fi modules and the cooperation with
Qualcomm Atheros brings RTX in contact with new customer groups which is expected to increase revenue from design projects and modules. Given the time, however, it takes from a module is "designed in" until a product is finally launched, revenue impact from module sales can only be expected towards

the end of the financial year. RTX will continue investments within low power technologies and will also put increased focus on battery technologies and energy harvesting in the years to come.
The activities undertaken by Design Services are highly dependent on the customer's ability and will to invest in new technology, product pipeline and product upgrades. These investments are, in turn, dependent on the market development, which are impacted by the global economic climate.
However, the significant efforts in expanding the sales and distribution platforms, and the investments made in new technologies and platforms are expected to help Design Services compensate for a continued economic downturn. Design Services therefore all in all expects to produce business results on level with 2011/12.

The year under review
The revenue for the financial year was DKK 103.2 million which was a drop of DKK 24.0 million from the previous year, and the result did not meet the expectations. The lower revenue was caused by reduced sales to the ODM customers in the Enterprise segment and by lower sales in the category Other Wireless. The demand in the various geographical markets was impacted by the low economic growth and the economic uncertainty. The VoIP sales developed satisfactorily compared to the previous year. The lower sales in the Other Wireless category was caused by a number of factors, including a delay in the launch of the new Skype phone, a customer put on credit hold, and phase out of a number of old products.
The capacity costs were at a higher level than the year before, driven by the investments in new product platforms. The result for the business unit for the year under review was negative.
During the year the business unit made significant investments in developing an up-to-date product portfolio. In the Enterprise segment a part of these investments were customer financed. The development of the new IP based wireless handset range for the Enterprise segment was initiated on customer requests in the financial year 2010/11. The development will continue into the financial year 2012/13.
The Enterprise handset range comprises several models and is IP based (Internet based telephony). The products represent the latest technologies, including Android with Touch technology and special ruggedized versions. The handsets will be available both in DECT and
Wi-Fi™ versions, and in combinations. The handset range will be customized to meet each of the PBX customers' specific needs and is designed to be backwards compatible with the customers' existing solutions.
The launch of the first product in the new Enterprise range (8232 DECT) to Alcatel Lucent was an important milestone in a long-term co-operation concerning development and delivery of a new IP DECT product program.
The new Enterprise product program has also been adopted by RTX's longstanding business partner NEC. NEC has since 2007 been selling RTX's existing Enterprise handset range. The new IP DECT based Enterprise series will ensure NEC to have an updated product program. The series are fully compatible with NEC's PBX solutions. NEC will start selling the first handsets in the new range around the year-end 2012.
The new IP DECT VoIP system, which was launched in the previous financial year, is designed for the SME businesses. The system is highly flexible as it can be scaled from a few handsets and base stations up to connecting 200 handsets and 40 base stations. The system features HD Voice and offers a substantially improved audio quality and seamless handover. RTX has during the year strengthened sales through a number of new distributor agreements. In addition, the compatibility with different PBX systems for the IP DECT VoIP system has been further strengthened. The products are now distributed to the most important markets. The sales developed satisfactorily during the year though many distributors were still in the launch phase.

The new Skype phone, RTX4088, was launched by the end of March. The phone offers new features such as HD audio and dual account. The RTX4088 phone can be used as both a Skype phone and a normal PSTN phone, and the phone holds the possibility of two Skype accounts in the same household. The phone replaced the former DUALphone 3088 model which was launched in 2006. The actual launch of the RTX4088 phone was a bit later than anticipated, but the sales in the second half of the year were satisfactory.
During the last couple of years, major investments have gone into renewing the product portfolio within the Enterprise, VoIP and Skype area. While the development of the new Enterprise range will continue throughout the financial year 2012/13, the other areas will enter into maintenance mode. Consequently, the development resources have been reduced towards the end of the financial year 2011/12.
Market opportunities and outlook
In the Enterprise market there is an ongoing need for mobility solutions offering voice and messaging capability. Though on-site mobility needs in some office environments are addressed towards cell phones or soft phones with PBX connectivity there is a large remaining market for ruggedized wireless handsets, representing approx. 2.3 million handsets per year globally. Those handsets are mainly based on DECT, IP DECT or Wi-Fi. The market consists of verticals like healthcare, heavy manufacturing, mining and the service sector, who demand company specific ruggedized solutions. This is the market

that Enterprise & VoIP addresses as an ODM/OEM supplier. The total market is expected to remain constant.
With a competitive and updated product offering in terms of the new Enterprise

in Enterprise and in the VoIP segments. The VoIP segment should moreover benefit from the distribution agreements and first launches that have happened in the past 12 months. The investments in the new wireless IP based Enterprise platform will continue throughout the year to finalize the last handset models.
Though the basic market conditions are favorable, and the updated product portfolio is attractive and competitive, the Enterprise and the SME market for telephony is and will continue to be influenced by the overall global economic climate. With the up-to-date competitive product portfolio and the investments made in better VoIP distribution, Enterprise & VoIP is, however, expected to be able to compensate for the general market uncertainty. The business results will be better than the previous financial year and the result is expected to be positive.

Financial statements 2011/12
The comments on the financial statements are, unless otherwise stated, based on the consolidated figures in the annual report for 2011/12 and compared with the corresponding consolidated figures for 2010/11. The Parent's financial development is not described separately, as the Parent represents the main part of the Group. The development is described separately for the Parent if the development deviates from the Group
In the Group's annual report the discontinued operations are presented in accordance with IFRS 5, which means, among other things, that profit/loss after tax from discontinued operations is shown separately in the Group's and the Parent's income statement, and that the related comparative figures have been restated.
Consolidated income statement Revenue
In 2011/12, the Group generated a revenue of DKK 191.3 million, which is a decrease of 6.6% compared to last year's revenue of DKK 204.9 million. The achieved revenue was thus in line with the expectations stated in the Announcement for the third quarter 2012. The realized revenue is however below the expectations stated in the financial statement 2010/11. The lower revenue was mainly caused by reduced sales to the ODM customers in the Enterprise segment, as the demand in the various geographical markets was impacted by the low economic growth and the uncertainty about economic recovery.
The development in the revenue in the Parent company was due to a reorganization and optimization of the business processes in the beginning of the financial year 2011/12.
Gross profit/loss and gross margin
RTX's gross profit amounted to DKK 114.6 million, which is a decrease of 3.5% compared to last year's gross profit of DKK 118.7 million. The gross margin however increased from 57.9% in 2010/11 to 59.9% in 2011/12. The reason for the increase is a changed product mix as a larger share of the Group revenue and gross profit derives from the business unit Design Services, which in general sells with a higher gross margin than the business unit Enterprise & VoIP.
Other external expenses
Other external expenses amounted to DKK 30.6 million, which is a decrease of DKK 5.0 million compared to 2010/11. The main reason is that the Group in 2010/11 wrote down significant dubious debtors. This has not been the case in 2011/12. Actually, a part of the write down last year was recovered in 2011/12 (ref. note 20).
Staff costs
Staff costs amounted to DKK 87.7 million, which is DKK 4.6 million more than last year's staff costs of DKK 83.1million. Staff costs were increased to strengthen the organization in Denmark as well as Hong Kong, and to make the Group able to carry out the investments in new product platforms and technology.
The average number of employees in the Group's continuing operations increased from 163 in 2011/12 to 168 in 2011/12. The number of employees at the end of the financial year increased from 164 in 2010/11 to 168 in 2011/12.
Value of own work transferred to assets
The Group has continued last year's investments in own development project in order to exploit the expected business opportunities further. The VoIP system was launched in 2010/11 and towards the end of third quarter 2011/12 the group launched and supplied the first handsets in a new product program to one of the large global PBX suppliers. Due to the partial RTX financing and time lags between the investments and the customers' payments, the capitalization of the development costs concerning the handset range for the Enterprise market continued in 2011/12. Reimbursements of DKK 5.0 million from customers relating to the Enterprise platform were received in the 2011/12 financial year compared to DKK 0 million in 2010/11. The reimbursements received were offset directly against the intangible assets.
The value of own work transferred to assets was DKK 12.5 million compared to DKK 12.3 million in 2010/11.
Amortisation, depreciation and impairment
The Group's amortisation, depreciation and impairment increased from DKK 3.3 million in 2010/11 to DKK 6.4 million in 2011/12. Amortisation related to the RTX development projects in 2011/12 was DKK 3.8 million which was an increase of DKK 2.9 million compared to 2010/11.
Operating profit/loss (EBIT)
Operating profit/loss (EBIT) was a profit of DKK 2.5 million compared to a profit of DKK 9.0 million in the financial year 2010/11. The realized profit was in line with the expectation announced in the interim report for third quarter 2011/12.

Net financials
The net financial expense was DKK 0 million compared to an expense of DKK 1.3 million in the financial year 2010/11.
The exchange rate gain (net) amounts to DKK 0.2 million in 2011/12 compared with loss of DKK 1.1 million the previous year. The major part of the Group's cash funds is invested in current asset investments and bank deposits.
The exhange rate gain (net) in the Parent was on par with last year. The Parent has granted a loan of DKK 0.6 million to the subsidiary in Brazil, which similar to the handling last year was expensed.
Profit/loss before tax for the year from continued operations
The profit before tax for 2011/12 amounts to DKK 1.9 million compared to a profit of DKK 3.9 million in the financial year 2010/11.
Tax on profit/loss for the year
Tax on the profit for the year was recognized at DKK 0.6 million compared to DKK 1.5 million last year. The tax on the profit concerns the Group's activities in Hong Kong and withholding taxes in the Parent which are paid on the earnings from license- and royalty agreements made with foreign companies.
Similar to the financial year 2011/12 the deferred tax asset has similar to the financial year 2010/11 not been recognized in the balance sheet for 2011/12, due to uncertainty regarding the use of deferred tax assets (ref. note 2).
Profit/loss for the year from discontinued operations
The acitivity is discontinued. However management is investigating if it is possible to recover some of the outstanding amount from the activities and a way to wind up the Brazilian subsidiary.
The loss for the year from discontinued operations amounts to DKK 0 million against a loss of DKK 2.3 million in the financial year 2010/11.
Profit/loss for the year
Total profit for 2011/12 amounted to DKK 1.9 million compared to a profit of DKK 3.9 million last year.
Earnings per share (EPS)
Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing operations amounted to DKK 0.2 compared to DKK 0.7 the year before. Earnings per share (EPS) from continuing and discontinuing operations amounted to DKK 0.2 compared to DKK 0.4 the year before.
Consolidated balance sheet
The Group's balance sheet total amounted to DKK 212.4 million at 30 September 2012, which is a decrease of DKK 20.7 million compared to last year. The decrease in the balance sheet is composed by a decrease in shortterm assets of DKK 23.5 million and an increase in long-term assets of DKK 2.8 million.
During the year, the Group equity increased by DKK 4.4 million, from DKK 151.9 million to DKK 156.3 million. The equity ratio is 73.6% in 2011/12 compared to 65.2% in 2010/11.
The Supervisory Board will recommend to the Annual General Meeting on 25 January 2013 that no dividend is paid for the financial year 2011/12.
The Company's holding of 144,584 treasury shares was acquired in the financial years 2004/05 and 2006/07 in order to hedge the liabilities related to the share options granted by the Company to a limited number of executives. The Company has neither acquired nor sold treasury shares in the financial year 2011/12.
As a result of the recent years' restructuring of the business combined with the strong equity ratio the supervisory board intends to propose that the shareholders at the annual general meeting authorize the company to acquire treasury shares at a total nominal value of up to 10% of the company's share capital.
Consolidated cash flows and financing from the continuing operations
Cash flows from operations amounted to negative DKK 8.2 million compared to positive DKK 17.0 million in 2010/11. The development is driven by changes in the working capital, which had a negative impact on the cash flow with DKK 12.5 million compared to positive DKK 8.0 million in 20110/11. The changes in the working capital were driven by the launch of the new Skype phone and the launching of the first handset to Alcatel which has increased the stock level in 2011/12.
Cash flows from investments, comprising investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets and current asset investments, amounted to DKK -9.2 million compared to DKK -11.2 million in 2010/11. Reimbursements of DKK 5.0 million from customers relating to the Enterprise platform were received in the 2011/12 The reimbursements received were offset directly against the intangible assets.

Management and employees
As of 30 September 2012, the Group employed 168 people, of whom approx. 45% are engineers and technical staff. Of the 168 employees, 51 are employed in Hong Kong, 3 in the US whereas the remaining 114 are employed at the head office in Noerresundby. The number is slightly higher than last year due to the investments in new products and technology platforms
Incentive schemes from the financial year 2010/11
As in 2010/11 the Supervisory Board decided to grant a number of employees and the Executive Board a long-term incentive program, which purpose is to attract, motivate and maintain the best possible employees and managers to develop the RTX Group during the next number of years. The incentive program is based on conditional warrants and will depend on the cash flow generation in the coming periods. The Supervisory Board will not take part in the incentive program.
The Supervisory Board intends to let the warrants program be a running program, starting with 3 years. This means that warrants are expected to be issued in three of each other successive years. The Supervisory Board will each year decide on the actual allotments to be given in order to support a long term development. The total nominal value of the warrants program is DKK 7.5 million.
Warrants are granted and earned during 36 months and can be exercised no earlier than after publication of RTX's annual report for 2012/13. The first conditional allotment will thus cover the period January 2011 to December 2013. The first conditional allotment will depend on the achieved cashflow. The second allotment covers the period from January 2012 to December 2014 and is conditioned of the cash flow generated in the period 2011/12 until 2013/14.
If the minimum criteria for the 3-year target for an increase in the cash flow are not met, the warrants will be discontinued. The granted warrants will give the employee a right, but not a duty to buy shares in RTX.
Incentive schemes from before the financial year 2010/11
The Supervisory Board decided in 2005 and 2006 to grant share options to a limited number of executives and to the Executive Board. Overall, at 30 September 2011 RTX has granted share options of nominally DKK 725,000, equivalent to a total of 145,000 share options at DKK 5.
In an ordinary process, the share options can be exercised no earlier than 36 months and no later than 84 months after the date of grant. Special conditions have been agreed on exercise if extraordinary conditions should occur in the period of agreement, for instance the employee's resignation.
The exercise price of the share options is fixed as the average rate for a period of five trading days immediately up to the date of grant plus 5% per year commenced after the date of grant.
The granted share options account for approx. 1.5% of the Company's share capital.
The Annual General Meeting adopted the general guidelines on 28 January 2009 in pursuance of § 69 b of the Danish Public Companies Act relating to incentive programs for the Executive Board in RTX A/S. The guidelines are published at the Company's website www.rtx.dk.

uncertainty relating to recognition and measurement
RTX has significant deferred tax assets at the end of the financial year. As a result of the unsatisfactory results realized by the Group in recent years, there may be significant uncertainty when it will be possible for the Group to use the developed assets. As a result of this uncertainty, the Group has chosen to recognize the deferred tax assets in the balance sheet at 30 September 2011 at a net amount of DKK 0 million. The non-recognized deferred tax assets thus amount to DKK 66.9 million at yearend. The corresponding amount at 30 September 2011 was DKK 67.5 million.
Particular risks
All investments in shares involve certain risks. The risk profile of RTX is partly a reflection of the day-to-day operations of the Group and partly a reflection of the Group's continued development. In the following, a number of risk factors will be presented, which may impact on RTX's future growth, operation, financial position and performance. The factors stated are not necessarily all the factors posing a risk to the Group, but the factors which management considers being of primary significance to the Group. The listing of the risk factors does not reflect their priority or significance. The description of risks should be considered in the context of the annual report in general.
Business risks
Rapid technological changes and new markets
The RTX Group continuously aims at identifying and developing technological competence enabling the Group to offer technological solutions and products demanded by the customers. Moreover, the Group aims at currently predicting or reacting to the technological development to the extent required
as well as to changes in customer preferences.
The Group is using detailed project and resource control tools, which enable very fast reaction time on customer inquiries.
Project management
By focusing on project planning, the Group tries to ensure synergies between parallel development activities. The progress of the individual development projects is supervised by achievement of planned milestones.
The ability to attract and retain skilled employees
The employees represent RTX's most important asset and are sometimes a scarce resource. In order to develop and market its products, the Group will continue to rely on its ability to attract, retain, motivate and train skilled employees.
The Group's companies strive to be attractive workplaces for the employees by offering competitive employment terms and developing a professional as well as a social working environment.
Development of technology platforms
Development of technology platforms involves development projects launched at the Group's own account in order to provide RTX with new knowledge of and competence in new technologies.
A varying part of the Group's development projects will continue to be at the Group's own account. This will result in current development costs in the short term, which should be regarded as investments in new technology and markets.
New technology platforms are often developed in close co-operation with well-reputed international chip vendors. To some extent, RTX is dependent on the on-time delivery of the agreed technology from the chip vendors.
Dependence on single customers
Enterprises of the size of RTX may to some extent become dependent on single customers.
Ten of the largest customers account for more than half of the turnover which is similar to 2010/11. As many of these are loyal customers, the Group is dependent on single customers to some extent.
Dependence on sub-suppliers
The majority of the Group's production is handled by sub-suppliers, primarily in Asia. The Group depends on these sub-suppliers being able to produce and deliver the planned volume at the time requested and in the required quality. Significant changes may occur in sales and contribution margin if some of the sub-suppliers do not deliver at the time requested and in the required quality.
RTX is continuously in open and close contact with the sub-suppliers in order to plan and monitor deliveries, quality management systems and production.
Limited protection of rights
Today, RTX has applied for patents within selected key areas. There can be no assurance that RTX's practice to protect its intellectual property rights will be sufficient, or that the Group's competitors will not independently develop similar technologies. If the Group does not succeed to sufficiently protect its rights, this could have a negative effect on the Group's activities, financial performance and general financial position.

Financial risks
Currency risks
During the past financial years approx. 95% of RTX's revenue derived from customers outside Denmark. This revenue is primarily invoiced in currencies other than Danish kroner (primarily EUR and USD). The main part of goods purchased from sub-suppliers is paid in foreign currencies. As a consequence of the large international activity, the Group's cash flows are influenced by changes in exchange rates, and the Group's trade policy with its customers and suppliers are continuously adapted in order to match the currencies of its purchase and sales as much as possible.
Due to the exposure on exchange rates RTX has chosen to consolidate the groups most important bank business in a larger Danish bank. This should contribute to secure overview and thereby reduce exchange rate exposure in a macro environment characterized by volatile exchange rates.
If assessed to be appropriate, RTX might enter into transactions to hedge its commercial currency risks in order to reduce the currency exposure.
Interest rate risks
The Group is primarily exposed to interest rate risks through interestbearing assets and liabilities. The overall purpose of management of the interest rate risk is to limit the negative effects of interest fluctuations on earnings and the balance sheet. Surplus cash is primarily invested in short-term solidly credit-rated cash bonds in Danish kroner or in money market deposits.
Credit risks
The Group's credit risks related to trade receivables are assessed on an ongoing basis. In 2010/11 the group entered an agreement with a credit insurance company, and since 2010/11 the group has used credit insurance and bank guarantees in order to secure the most important outstanding amounts. The creditworthiness of all major customers and partners is rated at an ongoing basis.
Cash
The Group's cash at bank and in hand primarily consists of deposits in respected banks and credit institutions. Consequently, cash is not considered to be subject to any special credit risk. Bank deposits and bank debt carry a floating interest rate.

intellectual capital resources
Employees
In order for RTX to maintain its position as an attractive sub-supplier of specialized wireless development services and advanced IP products it is essential that the employees of the Group have wide knowledge of the engineering disciplines required to carry out high-technology development projects from definition to delivery of wireless communications services and products. It is the qualifications of the employees that make RTX able to supply turnkey solutions, and not only partial solutions.
The Group is ready for changes and prepared for future growth, as the structure of the organization enables a prompt integration of additional skilled employees. Through RTX's location near Aalborg University in Denmark and its presence in Hong Kong, the Group has access to international skills within development, logistics and quality assurance. The development organization is ready for changes and makes it possible with short notice to transfer and appoint engineers to technological areas, which need activity and qualified staff. The project management is still being strengthened, and the technical skills within software, baseband and RF are currently updated.
Through visits to educational institutions and based on the Group's generally positive reputation among engineers within the industry, RTX aims at maintaining the reputation as an attractive workplace for employees with the best professional skills and human qualifications.

New handset to Alcatel
RTX has started supply of DECT Handsets to Alcatel Lucent Enterprise.
Alcatel-Lucent provides solutions that enable service providers, enterprise and governments worldwide, to deliver voice, data and video communication services to end-users. The company has the most experienced global services team in the industry, and one of the largest research, technology and innovation organizations in the telecommunications industry.
Skype
In 2012 Enterprise & VoIP launched the successor for the first Skype handset, the RTX DUALphone3088. Despite the global success of Skype digital telephony, there are only few dedicated stand-alone Skype handsets on the market.
The RTX DUALphone4088 is an expandable communications system with multi-line functionality for up to 4 handsets (including two Skype accounts). It can handle up to two parallel calls (1 Skype and 1 fixed landline). The design of RTX DUALphone 4088 is suitable for the modern office or living room. The handset has been thoroughly tested and approved by Skype.
Skype has more than 40 million concurrent users at peak times and thus there is a growing demand for a user-friendly stand-alone phone. The phone is sold through a dedicated global network of distributors and retailers.

research and development activities
RTX does not perform basic research at a significant level. However, RTX has increased investments in internal development activities over the past couple of years. These activities are focused on development of new technology and product platforms. In addition, development activities for ODM customers have shown an upward trend.
In the financial year 2011/12, the development costs incurred at the Group's own account have affected the income statement by DKK 28.4 million compared to DKK 14.3 million in the previous year. The majority of the increase in development costs is related to Enterprise & VoIP, driven by the development of the IP DECT - SME VoIP product, the new IP based wireless Enterprise handset range and the newly launched Skype telephone 4088. In Design services, the development costs
have predominantly covered RTX's part of the ultra low energy platform "ULE" (which receive public grants under the EU Eurostars program, ref. note 8), investments into the test area and development of a Wi-Fi module which is developed in cooperation with Energy Micro and Qualcomm Atheros. The module differs from existing solutions by having ultra low power consumption and unique customer functionality.
The development costs contain salaries and expenses directly related to the Group's internal development projects less any project income. In the financial year, development costs of DKK 12.5 million have been capitalized and DKK 3.8 million has been amortized on the intangible asset related to the VoIP platform. The expensed development cost after capitalization and amortization
was DKK 28.4 million compared to DKK 14.3 million last year (ref. note 8)
In the balance sheet own completed development projects and own development projects in progress are booked with a value of DKK 18.0 million. Last year the value was DKK 14.2 million.
Reimbursements of DKK 5.0 million from customers relating to the Enterprise platform were received in the 2011/12 financial year compared to DKK 0 million in 2010/11. The reimbursements received were offset directly against intangible assets.
Below is listed the realized revenue in 2011/12 including the revenue expectations for the coming 3 years' period related to the development projects booked in the balance sheet.
| Product Platform | Value of intangible assets R (million DKK) |
E evenue 2011/12 (million DKK) |

|---|---|---|---|
| VoIP | 6.2 | 25.0 | 70-100 |
| Enterprise | 11.8 | 11.7 | 110-140 |
The development costs incurred are expected to contribute positively to the revenue in the coming years.

corporate social responsibility (CSR)
Social responsibility
It is an integrated value in RTX to demonstrate responsible behavior towards the stakeholders of the Group. This value is reflected in both the preparation and implementation of strategic targets and action plans
RTX has only a few formulated policies within CSR, but will in the coming years increase our focus in order to establish procedures and policies for the Group's work with social and environmental responsibility. In addition to comply with Danish and International rules RTX will through monitoring and measuring demonstrate the responsibility which is an ingrained value in the group but not yet fully formalized via policies and measurements.
RTX supports the fundamental principles of UN's Global Compact on human rights, employees' rights, child labor, environment and anticorruption. RTX requires that its suppliers respect and conform to the same principles.
Working environment
RTX employed at the end of financial year 2011/12 168 employees of which 114 were employed in Denmark, 51 in Hong Kong and 3 in the US. RTX strives having an organization culture where the employees are offered motivating freedom to act and good development opportunities in a professional international environment.
The ability to attract and maintain highly qualified employees is crucial for the Group's competitiveness. Consequently, the Group has a staff policy which among others includes yearly appraisal interviews, as well as the employee satisfaction is measured once a year in Denmark and Hong Kong. The results from this satisfaction survey is analyzed and reviewed by Group management and managers, with a subsequent summary presentation for the employees.
A good working environment and a high job satisfaction result in satisfied employees, high efficiency, low staff turnover and a low level of absence. These are all values that RTX can live up to. RTX strives to be a professionally managed company in all regards.
At the locations in Denmark and Hong Kong RTX offers its employees benefits and facilities that are in accordance with local conditions. RTX has for its Danish premises obtained The Danish Working Environment Service's green smiley as a symbol of compliance with the environmental regulations on a physical and psychical good working environment. RTX continuously works with specific action plans concerning the employees' safety and well-being.
RTX has a flat and dynamic organization with a high level of co-operation between functions and business units. The management is currently working on optimizing processes to ensure
knowledge sharing and co-operation, and the development processes have since 2002 been ISO certified.
Labour Rights
No company in the RTX Group is a member of any employers' association, but follows the industrial agreements. Freedom of association applies for all employees in RTX.
Environment
RTX wishes to show responsibility towards the environment and to reduce the consumption of water, heat and electricity. RTX has thus implemented electricity saving processes like "Wakeon-LAN", which ensures an energysaving setup in the company's use of IT hardware. On an ongoing basis RTX works with energy reducing setup by changing to energy saving light sources.
RTX co-operates with a number of customers, who are working on developing energy-saving radio technologies. Consequently, one of these development projects is partly financed by Eurostars (www.eurostars-eureka.eu).
RTX co-operates with sub-suppliers to reduce material consumption and strain on the environment, just as RTX encourages its sub-suppliers to use environmentally acceptable raw materials and products. In addition, RTX requires observation of directives settling the environment-friendly production and handling of electronic equipment (RoHS, REACH and WEEE directives).

prospects for the financial year 2012/13
At the start of the financial year 2012/13 the global economic outlook remains uncertain. Both business units in RTX depends on the general economic climate and the customers' willingness to invest, either in new technology and product pipeline as what concerns Design Services, and in new Enterprise telecom solutions as what concerns Enterprise & VoIP.
However, during the past years, RTX has invested significantly in new technologies and product platforms and has focused on expanding its sales platform. RTX expects that these investments will start to payoff and compensate for the general economic uncertainty in the environment and RTX will be able to generate a result for the coming year which is slightly better than the result for 2011/12.
It is expected that Design Services will be on par with the result for the financial year 2011/12 and that Enterprise & VoIP will create a result slightly better than 2011/12.
Overall, management expects that the RTX Group will achieve a positive development in revenue to a level between DKK 200-210 million in 2012/13. The operating profit (EBIT) is expected to be in the range of DKK 4-6 million and EBITDA in the range DKK 12-14 million.
The management expects to create a positive cash flow from the Operating activities and investments in own development projects will decline significantly compared with 2011/12. The management expects to capitalize DKK 2-3 million in 2012/13 related to the development task on the Enterprise platform.
The expectations are based on an unchanged exchange rate expectations compared to 2011/12. Expectations to the future development are subject to uncertainty and risk. Most of the activities in the Group are customer-paid development tasks or sales on ODM/ OEM basis, both business segments are characterized by relatively short order horizons. Because of these and other factors, e.g. macroeconomic aspects described above and the customers' financing possibilities, the actual development may deviate from the expectations.

Risk management and control systems
The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board have the primary responsibility for RTX's risk management and internal control systems, including compliance with applicable legislation and other financial reporting regulations. RTX's risk management and internal control systems related to financial reporting, including IT and tax, are designed to effectively limit the risk of errors and omissions in the financial reporting.
Control environment
The internal control at RTX is based on the Company's organizational structure, decision making procedures, powers and responsibilities. Internal control is also based on procedures described in manuals and memos. Central functions like Group Finance and IT are together with the Executive Board responsible for controlling and monitoring compliance with relevant legislation and other financial reporting requirements and controlling financial reporting from subsidiaries. In 2009, RTX established an Audit Committee, who evaluates and discusses significant issues which might have an impact on the Company's accounting and financial reporting.
The Group has established internal control systems to ensure that the internal and external financial reporting gives a true picture without significant misinformation. The Audit Committee and the Executive Board assess on an ongoing basis substantial risks and Internal controls in connection with the Group's activities and their influence on the accounting process. Firstly, the control structures consist of an organization with clearly defined roles that support an effective, and from an internal control perspective, appropriate division of responsibility, and secondly, specific control activities that are intended to identify and reduce the risk of errors in the financial reporting. The control activities are based on risk and materiality assessment. On an ongoing basis, the management monitors compliance with relevant legislation and other financial reporting requirements and reports to the Supervisory Board and the Audit Committee. The Super-

visory Board and the Audit Committee monitor the management's response to any control weakness, as well as the Company's auditor reports to the Audit Committee on an ongoing basis.

Information to the Stock Exchange
Since June 2000, the Company's shares have been listed on NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S (ISIN DK0010267129). The closing price was DKK 11.30 at 30 September 2012, which is a decrease of 3% compared to the closing price
on the same date the year before. In the financial year 2011/12, the highest closing price was DKK 14.40 and the lowest DKK 11.00.
The market value of the Company's shares amounted to approx. DKK 107 million at 30 September 2012 compared to approx. DKK 110 million at 30 September 2011.
Dividends and capital structure
RTX does not expect to pay dividends until the Group has obtained stability in its earnings. Once the required stability in earnings has been ensured, the Supervisory Board will assess the capital base in relation to the business volume and the Group's investment plans. Based on this, the Supervisory Board recommends the next Annual General Meeting not to pay dividends for the financial year 2011/12.
In the recent financial years the Management in RTX has closed down a loss making business unit and invested significant in future product and technology platforms. The RTX financed investments have peaked with the financial year 2011/12. It is therefore the assessment that the demand for capital needed in the turnaround plan for RTX is declining when we are looking forward. The Board of Directors further intends to propose that the shareholders at the annual general meeting authorize the company to acquire treasury shares at a total nominal value of up to 10% of the company's share capital in the period to the next general meeting.
Insider rules
The Group's insider rules have been updated in accordance with amendments to the Danish Securities Trading Act at 1 July 2008. The Executive Board, the Supervisory Board and exe-

independent auditor's report
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF RTX
Report on the consolidated financial statements and Parent financial statements of RTX A/S
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements of RTX A/S for the financial year 1 October 2011 - 30 September 2012, which comprise the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes, including the accounting policies, for the Group as well as for the Parent. The consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies.
Management's responsibility for the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies and for such internal control as Management determines is necessary to enable the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards
on Auditing and additional requirements under Danish audit regulation. This requires that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatements of the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by Management, as well as the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Our audit has not resulted in any qualification.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent's financial position at 30 September 2012, and of the results of their operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 October 2011 - 30 September 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies.
Statement on the management commentary
Pursuant to the Danish Financial Statements Act, we have read the management commentary. We have not performed any further procedures in addition to the audit of the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements.
On this basis, it is our opinion that the information provided in the management commentary is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and parent financial statements.

1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basic Principles
The annual report of RTX for 2011/12, including both the consolidated financial statements and the Parent financial statements, is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and additional Danish disclosure requirements for annual reports of listed companies, with reference to the disclosure requirements of listed companies from NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen A/S and the Danish Executive Order on IFRS Adoption issued in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act.
This annual report also complies with the International Financial Reporting Standards issued by IASB.
The consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements are presented in DKK, which is the presentation currency for the Group's activities and the functional currency for the Parent company.
The annual report is presented based on historical cost prices, except items where IFRS require measurement at fair value. Otherwise the accounting policies applied are as described below.
Standards and interpretations effective from the financial year 2011/12
In the financial year 2011/12 the Group has used all the new and changed standards and interpretations which are relevant to RTX, and which came into force with effect for financial years from 1 October 2010, and they have been implemented in the preparation of the annual report for 2011/12. These standards and interpretations are:
- • Amendment to IFRS 7 Financial Instruments, information and presentation. The change results in changed disclosure requirements for derecognition of financial instruments.
-
• IFRS 9 Classification and Measurement of Financial Assets. The number of categories of financial assets is reduced to two – amortized cost price model or fair value model. The classification is determined by type of business model and the characteristics of the instrument.
-
• IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The standard is effective for financial years beginning on 1 January 2013 or later. The standard replaces IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and establishes disclosure and preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
- • IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements "joint activities and joint entities (joint ventures)" The standard is effective for financial years beginning on 1 January 2013 or later. The standard replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures and determines the financial reporting for parties in a joint venture.
- • IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. The standard is effective for financial years beginning on 1 January 2013 or later. The standard is applicable to entities which have investments in a subsidiary, a joint venture, in an associated company or a non-consolidated structured entity.
- • IFRS 13 on Fair Value Measurements. The standard is effective for financial years beginning on 1 January 2013 or later. The standard sets out the framework for measurement of fair value and disclosures on fair value measurement in one single standard.
- • IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements regarding amendments to the comprehensive income statement. The aim of the changes is to improve consistency and clarity in the presentation of items of other comprehensive income.
- • IAS 27 on separate parent company financial statements. The standard is effective for financial years beginning on 1 January 2013 or later. The standard includes the accounting recognition and measurement as well as disclosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, when an entity prepares separate financial statements. Together with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statement the
amended standard replace the former IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements.
- • IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The standard is effective for financial years beginning on 1 January 2013 or later. The Standard sets out the accounting treatment of investments in associates and establishes requirements for using the equity method for investments in associates and joint ventures.
- • Minor changes to various standards as a result of IASB's annual improvement project from May 2012.
Management assesses that the future implementation of other Standards and Interpretations which have not become effective can be implemented without any significant influence on the annual report.
Consolidated financial statements
The consolidated financial statements include the Parent RTX and the enterprises (subsidiaries) that are controlled by the Parent. Control is achieved by the Parent, either directly or indirectly, holding more than 50% of the voting rights or in any other way possibly or actually exercising controlling influence.
RTX together with its subsidiaries is referred to as the Group.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared on the basis of the financial statements of RTX and its subsidiaries. The financial statements used for consolidation have been prepared applying the Group's accounting policies.
On consolidation, intra-group income and expenses, internal shareholdings, intragroup accounts and dividends as well as profits and losses on transactions between the consolidated enterprises are eliminated.
Subsidiaries' financial statement items are recognized in full in the consolidated financial statements. Minority interests' pro rata share of profit/loss forms part of the Group's profit or loss for the year and is a separate element of the Group's equity.

Notes
Business combinations
Newly acquired or newly established companies are recognized in the consolidated financial statements as from the date of acquisition or the date of establishment, respectively. The acquisition date is the date, where control of the company is actually obtained. Companies sold or liquidated are included in the profit and loss account until the date of sale or liquidation. The date of sale is the date, where control of the company is actually transferred to a third-party. When acquiring new companies, where the Group obtains a controlling influence in the acquired company, the acquisition method is applied, by which the newly acquired companies' identifiable assets, the liabilities and the contingent liabilities are measured at fair value at the acquisition date.
The consideration paid for a company is the fair value of the consideration paid for the acquired company. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the periods in which the costs are incurred.
Positive differences (goodwill) between, on the one hand, the consideration paid for the acquired company, the value of minority interests in the acquired company and the acquisition-date fair value of previously held equity interests, and, on the other hand, the fair value of the acquired assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are recognized as an asset under intangible assets, and are tested for impairment at least once a year. If the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the recoverable amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the lower recoverable amount.
Foreign currency translation
The presentation currency of the Group and the Parent is Danish kroner (DKK).
The functional currency for the parent company is Danish kroner (DKK).
On initial recognition, transactions in currencies different from the enterprises' functional currency are translated applying the exchange rate of the transaction date.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences that arise between the rate at the transaction date and the one in
effect at the payment date or the rate at the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement as financial income or financial expenses. Non-monetary assets acquired in foreign currencies and measured on the basis of historical cost are translated applying the exchange rate of the transaction date. Non-monetary items that are restated at fair value are translated using the exchange rate at the date of restatement.
On recognition in the consolidated financial statements of enterprises which present their financial statements in a functional currency different from DKK, the income statements are translated at the months' average exchange rates. Balance sheet items are translated using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Goodwill is considered as belonging to the relevant entity acquired and is translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.
Exchange differences arising out of the translation of foreign enterprises' balance sheet items and income statement items are recognized directly in equity. Correspondingly, exchange differences arising as a result of changes made directly in the foreign entity's equity are also recognized in equity. Other foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in the income statement under financial income or expenses.
Share-based incentive schemes
Share-based incentive schemes in the form of share options and warrants where the employees may only choose to buy and subscribe for shares in the Parent, at an agreed rate (equity-settled share-based payment scheme), the fair value of the rights is measured at the time of issue and are recognized in the income statement under staff costs for the period during which the employees achieve final right to the share options and warrants, respectively. The set-off entry is recognized directly in equity.
On initial recognition of the share options and warrants an estimate is made regarding the number of rights for which the employees are expected to acquire final right. Subsequently, adjustments are made for changes to this estimate whereby final recognition of the cost corresponds to the actual number of acquired rights to share options and warrants.
The fair value of the share options and the warrants is computed by using the Black & Scholes model for valuation of European call options with the parameters included in note 34.
Income taxes
Tax for the year, consisting of current tax for the year and changes in deferred tax, is recognized in the income statement by the portion attributable to the profit/loss for the year and classified directly as equity by the portion attributable to entries directly on equity. Exchange adjustments of deferred tax are recognized as part of the year's adjustments of deferred tax.
The current tax payable or receivable is recognized in the balance sheet, stated as tax calculated on this year's taxable income, adjusted for prepaid tax. When calculating the current tax for the year, the tax rates in effect at the balance sheet date are used.
The current Danish income tax is allocated among the jointly taxed Danish enterprises proportionally to their taxable income, i.e. full allocation with a refund concerning tax losses.
Deferred tax is recognized applying the liability method on all temporary differences between the carrying amount and tax-based value of assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax is calculated based on the planned use of each asset or the planned winding-up of each liability, respectively. Deferred tax is measured by using the tax rates and tax rules of the respective countries which are expected to apply when deferred tax is expected to be released as current tax.
Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carry-forwards, are recognized in the balance sheet at their estimated realizable value, either as a set-off against deferred tax liabilities or as net tax assets for set-off in future positive taxable income. At each balance sheet date, it is reassessed whether sufficient taxable income is likely to occur in future for the deferred tax asset to be used.
Income statement Revenue
Revenue from the sale of manufactured goods and goods for resale is recognized
in the income statement when delivery is made and risk has passed to the buyer.
Contract development projects and delivery of services are recognized as revenue when the project is performed or when the agreed services are delivered so that revenue corresponds to the selling price of the work performed in the financial year (the percentage-of completion method), see below.
Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable. If interest-free credit has been arranged for payment of the consideration receivable which is longer than the usual credit period, the fair value of the consideration is determined by discounting future payments. The difference between fair value and nominal value of the consideration is recognized as financial income in the income statement by using the effective interest method.
Revenue is calculated net of VAT, duties, etc collected on behalf of a third party.
Contract development projects financed by a third party
If the outcome of a contract development project can be estimated reliably, revenue is recognized in the income statement based on the contract's stage of completion at the balance sheet date (the percentageof-completion method). The related cost is expensed at the time of consumption.
If the outcome of a contract development project cannot be estimated with sufficient reliability, revenue is recognized at the project costs incurred in the period to the extent these costs are likely to be recovered.
Costs of sales work and of securing contracts as well as financing costs are recognized in the income statement as incurred.
Royalty
Income from royalty is often conditional on future events, including the customer's sale of products containing technology developed by RTX. Royalty is therefore not recognized in the income statement until these future events have occurred.
Public grants
Public grants are recognized in the profit and loss when they are received.
Cost of sales, etc
Cost of sales etc comprises raw materials, consumables, cost of sales, freight, customs and other direct external expenses incurred to achieve revenue.
Consumed resources related to development projects financed by a third party are expensed when consumed.
Other external expenses
Other external expenses comprise costs for premises, marketing and sale, administration, bad debts, etc.
Other external expenses also include external costs for development projects at own expense which do not meet the criteria for recognition in the balance sheet. In addition, provisions for loss on contract development projects are included.
Own development projects
Development cost financed by RTX is absorbed and financed by RTX in those cases where a project is initiated without a signed contract with a third party about direct financing of the customer project.
Development cost financed by RTX is expensed in the profit and loss when consumed. In those cases where it is highly probable that the development projects can be marketed as new products in a potential market and development cost is clearly identified, the direct cost measured on the project can be transferred to assets, if there is a correlation between the cost and the expected future income.
Staff costs
Staff costs comprise wages and salaries, share-based remuneration as well as social security costs, pension contributions etc for the Company's management and staff.
Staff costs also include wages and salaries etc relating to development projects at own expense which do not meet the criteria for recognition in the balance sheet.
Financial income and expenses
These items comprise interest income and interest expenses, the interest portion of finance lease payments, foreign exchange gains and losses on liabilities and transactions in foreign currency, amortisation premium/allowance on financial assets and liabilities etc as well as tax surcharge and repayment under the Danish Tax
Prepayment Scheme. Moreover, the items comprise realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments which cannot be classified as hedging transactions.
Interest income and interest expenses are accrued based on the principal sum and the effective interest rate.
Dividends from investments in other securities and equity investments are recognized when a final right to these dividends has been obtained.
Balance sheet
Completed development projects at own expense
Development projects are recognized as intangible assets to the extent the product or the process is likely to generate future financial benefits to the Group, and the development costs related to each asset can be measured reliably.
On initial recognition, development projects are measured at cost. The cost of development projects comprises costs that are directly attributable to the development projects.
Completed development projects are amortised on a straight-line basis using the estimated useful lives of the assets. The period of amortisation is usually 3-5 years. For development projects protected by intellectual property rights, the maximum period of amortisation is the remaining duration of the relevant rights.
Development projects in progress recognized in the balance sheet are not amortised but tested for impairment at least once a year.
The Group's services are primarily sold on markets with frequent changes or upgrading of technologies. Consequently, the Group's commercial sales conditions may change at short notice, and in particular cases the market may be lost due to a specific technological development. Therefore, it is expected that only in special cases incurred costs relating to the Group's own development projects will meet the requirements for capitalization.
Patents and licences
Acquired intellectual property rights in the form of patents and licences are measu-
red at cost less accumulated amortisation. Patents are amortised on a straight-line basis over the remaining patent period, and licenses are amortised over the term of the agreement. If the actual useful life is shorter than the remaining life and the term of the agreement, respectively, amortisation is performed over the shorter useful life.
Goodwill
On initial recognition, goodwill is recognized and measured as the difference between cost of the enterprise acquired and the fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired, see description under consolidated financial statements.
When goodwill is recognized, the amount is allocated to the activities of the Group generating separate payments (cash-generating units). Determination of cashgenerating units follows the management structure and internal finance management and reporting of the Group.
Goodwill is not amortised but tested for impairment at least once a year.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Land is not depreciated.
Cost comprises the acquisition price, costs directly attributable to the acquisition as well as preparation costs. For assets held under finance leases, cost is the lower of the asset's fair value and present value of future lease payments.
The basis of depreciation is cost less estimated residual value after the end of useful life.
Straight-line depreciation is made on the basis of the following estimated useful lives of the assets:
| Buildings | 25 to 50 years |
|---|---|
| Plant and machinery | 4 to 10 years |
| Other fixtures and fittings, | |
| tools and equipment, | |
| including IT equipment | 3 to 7 years |
| Leasehold improvements | 5 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual amounts are reassessed annually.
Property, plant and equipment are written down to the lower of recoverable amount and carrying amount.
Investments in subsidiaries in the Parent's financial statement
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost.
Impairment of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as well as investments in subsidiaries
The carrying amounts of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with determinable useful lives as well as the Parent's investments in subsidiaries are tested on the balance sheet date to determine whether there are indications of impairment. If there are indications of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated to establish the need for impairment and the extent of the impairment losses, if any. For development projects in progress, intangible assets with determinable useful lives and goodwill, the recoverable amount is estimated annually, irrespective of whether there are indications of impairment.
If the individual asset does not generate cash independently of other assets, the recoverable amount is estimated for the smallest cash-generating unit in which the asset is included.
The recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the assets' fair value less costs to sell and value in use. On calculation of value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value by using a discount rate reflecting actual market assessments of the timing value of money as well as the particular risks related to the assets, and for which no adjustment has been made in the estimated future cash flows.
If the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated to be lower than carrying amount, carrying amount is written down to recoverable amount.
Impairment losses are recognized in the income statement. In case of any subsequent reversals of impairment losses, the carrying amount of the assets is increased to the adjusted estimate of the recoverable amount, however not exceeding the carrying amount which the asset would have had if the impairment loss had not
been performed. Impairment of goodwill is, however, not reversed.
Other investments
Other investments are classified as "Financial assets available for sale", and on initial recognition these are measured at fair value equal to the cost on the trading day plus any transaction costs. Listed shares and bonds are subsequently measured at fair values on the balance sheet date (listed price). Other investments are measured at an approximate computed fair value or at cost if an approximate fair value cannot be computed reliably. If the carrying amount of other investments exceeds the recoverable amount, writedown is made to this lower value.
Fair value adjustments of financial assets available for sale are recognized directly in equity until the time of sale of the assets. Upon sale of the assets, accumulated gains and losses recognized in equity are transferred to the income statement. Interest and dividends on financial assets available for sale are recognized in the income statement under financial income.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost using the FIFO method and net realizable value.
Cost of goods for resale, raw materials and consumables consists of purchase price plus landing costs. Cost of manufactured goods and work in progress consists of costs of raw materials, consumables and direct labour costs in production as well as allocated fixed and variable indirect production costs.
Variable indirect production costs include indirect materials and payroll and are allocated based on precalculations of the goods actually produced. Fixed indirect production costs comprise costs of maintenance of and depreciation on machinery, factory buildings and equipment applied for the manufacturing process as well as costs of factory administration and management.
The net realizable value of inventories is calculated as the estimated selling price less completion costs and necessary selling costs.

Receivables
Receivables comprise trade receivables, receivables from project contracts as well as other receivables. Receivables are financial assets with fixed or determinable payments which are not listed at an active market and which are not derivatives.
On initial recognition, receivables are measured at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost less write-down for bad debts. Writedown is made on an individual basis by using a writedown account.
Contract development projects in progress
Contract development projects are measured at selling price of the work performed at the balance sheet date (percentage-ofcompletion) less on account invoicing and write-down for bad debt.
The selling price is measured based on the stage of completion on the balance sheet date and the total estimated income from each development project. Usually, the stage of completion is estimated as the ratio between the realized and the total budgeted consumption of time and material.
If the outcome of a development project cannot be estimated reliably, the development project is measured at costs incurred to the extent these can be recovered.
When total project costs are likely to exceed total project income for a development project, the expected loss is immediately recognized as costs.
The individual development project in progress is recognized in the balance sheet under receivables or liabilities, depending on whether net value is a receivable or a liability.
Prepayments and accrued income
Prepayments and accrued income comprise incurred costs relating to subsequent financial years. Prepayments and accrued income are measured at cost.
Short-term current asset investments
The Group's portfolio of current asset investments recognized under short-term assets primarily comprises listed bonds. The item includes financial assets measured at fair value through the income statement as well as financial assets available for sale.
Financial assets measured at fair value are recognized at the trading date, and changes in the fair value are recognized currently in the income statement under financial items.
On initial recognition financial assets classified as available for sale are measured at fair value equal to the cost on the trading date. Subsequently, current asset investments are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date equal to the quoted market price. Unrealized capital gains and losses are recognized in equity until the time of divestment. On realization the accumulated value adjustment recognized in equity is transferred to financial items in the income statement.
Treasury shares
Acquisition and selling prices of treasury shares as well as dividends on these are recognized directly as equity under retained earnings.
Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of events in this or previous financial years, and repayment of the liability is likely to result in a drain on the Group's financial resources.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of costs expected for the obligation to be settled on the balance sheet date. Provisions that are estimated to mature after more than one year after the balance sheet date are measured at their present value.
If goods are sold on approval, a provision is made for the mark-up on the goods estimated to be returned as well as any expenses related to the returns.
Guarantee commitments comprise commitments to remedy defects and deficiencies on goods sold within the guarantee period. The liabilities are computed based on historical experiences.
When total costs are likely to exceed total income from a contract development project, a provision is recognized equal to the total loss estimated to result from the relevant project.
In connection with planned restructurings of the Group, provisions are only made for obligations relating to restructurings that were decided and commenced at the balance sheet date according to a specific plan, and where the parties involved have been informed about the overall plan.
Mortgage debt
At the time of borrowing, mortgage debt is measured at fair value which corresponds to the proceeds after deduction of any transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, mortgage debt is measured at amortised cost. This means that the difference between the proceeds at the time of borrowing and the amount to be repaid is recognized in the income statement as a financial expense over the term of the loan applying the effective interest method.
Lease commitments
Lease payments on operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis in the income statement over the term of the lease. The effective interest method is used for recognition.
Other financial liabilities
On initial recognition, other financial liabilities, including bank loans, trade payables, prepayments received from customers and debt to public authorities, etc are measured at fair value equal to received proceed less any incurred transaction costs. The liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost by using the effective interest method so that the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value is recognized in the income statement as a financial expense over the borrowing period.
Presenting of discontinued operations
Discontinued operations comprise enterprises and business areas which are either sold or divested with a view to sale.
Profit/loss after tax from discontinued operations and value adjustments after tax of related assets and liabilities as well as profit/loss from sale are presented in a separate line in the income statement. Comparative figures are restated in accordance with this presentation.
Cash flows from operations, investments and financing activities of discontinued operations are disclosed in a note.

as well as cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and the end of the financial year.
Cash flows from acquisition and divestment of enterprises are shown separately under cash flows from investing activities.
Cash flows from operations are presented using the indirect method and calculated as the operating profit/loss adjusted for non-cash operating items and working capital changes less financial income and financial expenses as well as income taxes paid in the financial year.
Cash flows from investments comprise payments in connection with acquisition and divestment of enterprises and financial assets as well as acquisition, development, improvement and sale of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment.
Furthermore, cash flows in the form of lease payments made on assets held under finance leases are recognized.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise changes in the Parent's share capital and related costs as well as the raising and repayment of loans, instalments on interest-bearing debt, purchase and sale of treasury shares, and payment of dividends.
Cash comprise both cash and short-term current asset investments with insignificant price risk less overdraft facilities included as an integral part of the Group's cash management.
Segment information
RTX' reportable segments are determined on the basis of the internal financial reporting to Group Management. The segments
consist of strategic business units selling different products and services. Each business unit is operated relatively independently and uses separate marketing strategies.
The segments' measure of profit or loss is result before tax. Segment income and expenses comprise those items, which can be directly allocated to the individual segment. The measure of the segments' assets is a total comprising completed development projects, development projects in progress and trade receivables. Non allocated items relates to the administrative functions in the Group.
RTX has two reportable segments: Design Services and Enterprise & VoIP. RTX Network Systems is classified as a discontinued operation. The segments are further described in the Management's review.
Ratio definitions and calculation formulas
Earnings per Share (EPS) and Diluted Earnings per Share (DEPS) are calculated in accordance with IAS 33. The other ratios have been calculated in accordance with "Recommendations & Financial Ratios 2010" issued by the Danish Society of Financial Analysts, unless otherwise indicated.

2. MATERIAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES, ASSUMPTIONS AND UNCERTAINTIES
Several financial statement items cannot be measured with certainty but only be estimated. Such estimates comprise assessments made on the basis of the latest information available at the time of the financial reporting. It may be necessary to change previous estimates due to changes in the matters on which the estimates were based or due to additional information, further experience or subsequent events.
Material accounting estimates
In relation to the practical application of the accounting policies described, Management performs material accounting estimates and assessments which may have a significant impact on the annual report's assets and liabilities at the ba-lance sheet date. Management bases its estimates on historical experiences as well as a number of assumptions which are assessed as being reasonable under the given circumstances. The result thereof forms the basis for the reported carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as well as the reported income and expenses which are not directly disclosed in other documentation. The actually realised results may deviate from these estimated recognized at the balance sheet date.
Management has performed the following material accounting estimates which have had significant influence on the annual report.
Deferred tax assets
RTX recognises deferred tax assets if it is probable that sufficient taxable income exists in future to use the temporary differences between the tax values and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and unused tax loss carry-forwards. Management has made a three-year estimate over the future taxable income in the Group. This estimate is included in the assessment as to whether the deferred tax assets may be recognized at the balance sheet date. Based on the revised projections in third quarter 2011/12 an continued volatility in the macroeconoc environment management assesses that the deferred tax asset should continue to be unrecognized. The value of unrecognized tax assets amounts to DKK 66.9 million as at 30 September 2012 (DKK 67.5 million as at 30 September 2011).
Development projects
In those cases where RTX has signed a contract, where RTX (fully or partial) will finance the development cost in order to win the following supply agreement, management assesses that it is highly probable that the development project can be marketed in a potential market. In connection with the capitalization of development costs, the expected useful life of the product is to be determined. Management has assessed that the amortization period is usually 3-4 years.
The development projects amount to DKK 18.0 million as at 30 September 2012 (DKK14.2 million as at 30 September 2011).
Inventories
A specific assessment of the need for write-downs for obsolescence of inventories is made based on an assessment of the future sales potential including service requirements.
The inventories amount to DKK 15.7 million as at 30 September 2012 (DKK 7.2 million as at 30 September 2011).
Trade receivables from product sale and services
Specific estimates of trade receivables are made on an assessment of the customer's historical ability to pay and the current situation.
The trade receivables amount to DKK 38.6 million as at 30 September 2012 (DKK 53.9 million as at 30 September 2011).

Goodwill
Goodwill arisen in relation to business combinations is distributed at the time of acquisition to the cash flow units which are expected to obtain financial advantages from the acquisition.
The carrying amount of goodwill is distributed as follows on the respective cash flow generating unit, Enterprise & VoIP:

|---|---|---|---|
| Amounts in DKK '000 | 2011/12 | 2010/11 | |
| RTX Hong Kong, Ltd. | 7,797 | 7,797 |
Goodwill is as a minimum tested once a year for impairment and more frequently if there are indications of impairment. The recoverable amount for the individual cash flow generating units to which the goodwill amounts have been distributed are stated based on computation of the units' present value of expected cash flows. The most material uncertainties are connected with the determination of the discount factors and growth rates as well as expected changes in sales prices and production costs in the budget periods.
The determined discount factors reflect market evaluations of the timing value of money, reflected in risk free interest and the specific risks connected to the individual cash flow generating unit.
The pre tax discount factors used in the calculation is 10 % (after tax 8%) (in 2010/11 10%).
The determined growth rates are based on internal strategy plans and forecast for the coming 3 years.
Estimated changes in selling prices and production costs are based on historical experiences as well as expectations for future changes in the market. The prognoses are based on a specific business evaluation of the expected sales prices and production costs. The changes in sales prices and costs are substantially equivalent to the ones used in the calculations 2010/11.
For the purpose of computing the cash flow generating units' present value of expected cash flows, the cash flows stated in the most recent management approved budgets for the next financial year are used as well as strategy plans. For financial year beyond budget periods (terminal period) a growth rate of 1% is applied.
Other intangible assets
Apart from goodwill, all intangible assets are regarded as having determinable useful lives over which the assets are amortised, see description included under accounting policies.
The assessment of the recoverable amount of own development projects in progress is based on net present value calculations for development projects. Net present value calculations are based on the expected cash flow from the assets in management approved budgets over expected lifetime of the projects, and a discount rate before tax at 10% (in 2010/11 10%).
Over the recent financial years RTX has chosen to capitalize those development costs used for specific investments in new products and technology platforms. It is assesed that development of these investments are essential for Enterprise & VoIP going forward.

Warrants program from 2010/11 (Group and Parent):
Since 2011/11 the Supervisory Board of RTX implemented a warrant-based programme, based on conditinoal warrants for the Executive Board and a group of key employees in RTX.
The Supervisory Board will not take part in the incentive programme.
The Supervisory Board intends to let the warrants programme be a running programme, starting with 3 years. The Supervisory Board will each year decide on the actual allotments to be given in order to create a long-term development in RTX. The total nominal value of the incentive programme is DKK 7.5 mio.
Warrants are granted and earned during af period of 36 month and can be excercised no earlier than after publication of RTX's annual report for 2012/13.
The first conditional allotment will thus cover the period January 2011 to December 2013. The first conditional allotment will depend on the achieved cash flow. If the minimum criteria for the 3-year target for an increase in the cash flow are not met, the warrants will be discontinued. The granted warrants will give the employee a right, but not a duty to buy shares in RTX.
The granted warrants can be exercised 4 weeks after interim reports.

Financial risk management policy
As a consequence of its operations, investments and financing, RTX is exposed to changes in the level of interest and exchange rates. The Parent manages the financial risks of the Group centrally and also coordinates the cash management of the Group, including financing and investment of surplus liquidity. The Group uses derivatives to some extent. It is the Group's policy not to conduct active speculation in financial risks.
The Group's financial management is directed towards management and reduction of financial risks which are a direct consequence of the Group's operations, investments and financing. The objective is that the Group's financial management will contribute to increasing the predictability of the financial performance, including reducing and delaying the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the income statement.

Liquidity risks
The Group ensures sufficient cash resources by a combination of cash control, investment in short-term current asset investments and by the establishment of credit facilities.
The Group's cash at bank and in hand primarily consists of deposits in reputable banks and credit institutions. Bank deposits, bank debt and most of the Group's mortgage debt carry a floating rate.
In order to reduce the risk on deposits, RTX only places deposits in banks with a high credit worthiness and investments in short-term bonds.
The maturity dates on the financial liabilities are specified in the notes for each of the liability category. The liquidity reserve is composed by cash holdings, short term bonds and unused credit facilities.
The liquidity reserve is composed as below:
| group | ||
|---|---|---|
| Amounts in DKK '000 | 2011/12 | 2010/11 |
| Short-term current asset investments | 45,563 | 45,985 |
| Cash at bank and in hand | 2,105 | 20,868 |
| Unused credit facilities | 15,000 | 15,000 |
| Total | 62,668 | 81,853 |
Credit risks
The Group's credit risks are related to trade receivables and assessed on an ongoing basis.
By experience, a relatively large credit risk may occur from time to time as a large part of receivables often relates to a relatively small number of counterparties and customers.
The level of risk related to the trade receivables is highly correlated with the financial status of the debtor. Therefore, RTX uses credit ratings, credit insurance and bank gurantees to secure the outstanding amounts. Sales on credit to the customer who represent 10 % of the Group turnover in 2011/12 is covered by a credit insurance.
Overdue amounts which are not written down distributes as follows:
| group | parent | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amounts in DKK '000 | 2011/12 | 2010/11 | 2011/12 | 2010/11 |

Currency risks
The Group is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations as the individual Group enterprises make investments, conduct purchase and sales transactions and have receivables and payables in foreign currencies. The Group's revenue to customers outside Denmark has been more than 90% of total revenue over the past few years.
Moreover, the major part of the Group's purchase of products, etc from subsuppliers is settled in foreign currencies.
The Group conducts commercial hedging transactions, to the extent considered appropriate, to lower any currency exposure.
Currency risks from assets and liabilities
The Group uses hedging instruments from time to time such as forward contracts to hedge recognized and unrecognized transactions. Hedging of recognized assets and liabilities primarily includes short-term current asset investments, loans and receivables as well as financial liabilities. The fair market value of the derivatives is recognized under other payables and set off in the income statement against foreign exchange adjustments of the assets and liabilities hedged.

| Total 30 September 2012 | 5,255 | 38,120 | 18,010 | 25,365 |
The Group's most important currency exposure relates to sale in EUR and USD. Due to Denmark's fixed-rate policy vis-à-vis EUR, currency risks in relation to EUR are not hedged. As for the Group's financial assets and liabilities recognized in the balance sheet, a change in the exchange rate of USD of 10% in upward direction would result in an increase in the Group's financial performance and equity of DKK 1.0 million (at 30 September 2011: DKK 3.2 million) before tax.
A decline in the exchange rate of 10% would have the same impact with an opposite sign.

Interest rate risks
The Group is primarily exposed to interest rate risks through interest-bearing assets and liabilities. The overall objective of controlling the interest rate risk is to reduce the negative impacts of interest rate fluctuations on earnings and the balance sheet.

The Group's bank deposit is deposited in accounts on demand terms or fixed-term deposit accounts with a term of up to nine months.
Fluctuations in the interest rate level affect the Group's bond portfolios, bank deposits, bank debt as well as mortgage debt. An increase in the interest rate level of 1 percentage point per annum compared to the interest rate level at the balance sheet date would have had a positive impact of DKK 0.5 million (30 September 2010: DKK 0.5 million) on the Group's income statement and equity. A corresponding drop in the interest rate level will result in a corresponding negative effect on the income statement and equity.
Moreover, an increase in the interest rate level of 1 percentage point per annum on the interest rate level at the balance sheet date will result in a negative fair market value adjustment of the Group's bond portfolios of DKK 1.5 million (30 September 2011: DKK 1.9 million), which is recognized directly on equity. A corresponding drop in the interest rate level will result in a corresponding positive fair market value adjustment, which is recognised directly on equity.
Capital structure
The Group's capital structure is characterized by a considerable equity share. The business conditions of the Telecom industry are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, which requires the presence of substantial equity, among other things to implement large and long-term development projects at the Group's own expense, for instance in connection with the set-up of technology platforms or by cultivating new business areas and markets.
The Group's equity share amounted to 73.6% at the end of the financial year 2011/12 compared to 65.2% at the end of 2010/11.

| term | explanation |
|---|---|
| Baseband | Baseband is a general term for part of the physical components of a wireless communication product. Typically, this would include the control circuitry (microprocessor), the power supply, amplifiers, etc. |
| Bluetooth™ | Bluetooth is a technology primarily intended as replacement for cables over short distances (typically 10-100 metres). Bluetooth is mainly used for mobile telephones, so the user can, for example, speak through a mobile telephone via a wireless Bluetooth headset, and it will be easy to exchange business cards between the two mobile telephones. Bluetooth can also be used for a number of other applications, such as wireless connection between a mobile telephone and a laptop or connection between an MP3 music player and a stereo headset. The two most widely distributed versions of Bluetooth (versions 1.1 and 1.2) have a maximum transfer speed of 723.2 kbit/s. Enhanced Data Rates (EDR) are introduced in Bluetooth version 2.0, and the data transfer speed in this version reaches a maximum of 3 Mbit/s. |
| CAT -iq™ |
CAT-iq™ is an abbreviation of Cordless Advanced Technology – internet and quality. The CAT-iq™ standard supports new and existing consumer products within wireless communication. CAT-iq™ is based on the already existing DECT technology and connects broadband and telephony. |
| The cellular market | The cellular market is a term used to cover all mobile telephony technologies and consists mainly of mobile telephone customers and subscribers, manufacturers and operators. |
| DCT 2.4 GHz / WDCT |
DCT2.4 GHz (Digital Cordless Telecommunications) or WDCT (World Digital Cordless Telecommunication) is a licence-free technology that makes it possible to speak wirelessly via an ordinary telephone connection. Unlike DECT, DCT2.4 GHz can be used all over the world. DCT2.4 GHz has mainly been targeted to the North American market as the common DECT frequencies have not been allocated to DECT in this area until 2005 (see also US DECT). |
| DECT | DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) is a technology that makes it possible to talk wirelessly via an ordinary telephone connection at a range of up to 300 metres. This was originally a European standard, developed by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute) but it has subsequently also been adopted in a number of non-European countries. Many predicted that DECT would die quickly after the introduction of Bluetooth and W-LAN at the end of the 90's, however, the truth is that today DECT is still a strong technology which is also used in other contexts than wireless telephones – an example is the wireless controller for Xbox 360™. |
| DPR S |
DPRS stands for DECT Packet Radio Service. It is a wireless technology that can transmit and receive data based on DECT technology. DPRS allows the user to send and receive e-mails on a laptop PC wirelessly. The range is 50–300 metres, and the speed up to 552 kbit/s, giving sufficient bandwidth for most ADSL connections. DPRS is in many ways similar to GPRS which is used on the GSM network for package linked data. |
| GSM | GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is the most commonly used mobile telephone system throughout the world. It is primarily used for voice communication and is defined as a second generation technology (2G). GSM can, however, also transfer data and enable Internet use from a laptop via a GSM mobile telephone. Short text messages can also be sent and received with a mobile telephone, using SMS (Short Message Service), and now it is also possible to send images and video clips via MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service). |
| GSM/GPR S |
GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) combined with GPRS (General Packet Radio Services) is known all over the world as 2.5 generation (2.5 G) GSM network. The GSM/GPRS network is one step towards the 3G network and is suitable for supporting multimedia facilities because of the high data transmission speed. |
| HD Voice | HD Voice stands for wideband voice, meaning sound quality with an increased band with compared to ordinary telephony audio. |
| IEEE 802.11 |
IEEE 802.11, also known as Wi-Fi™, is a group of Wireless LAN/WLAN standards developed by task force 11 in IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE 802). The expression 802.11x is also used to indicate corrections to the stan dards. |
| Internet telephony | Internet telephony is in short telephony via the Internet and not via the conventional telephone connections. As opposed to conventional telephony where each connection occupies the entire connection, Internet telephony enables more users to share the same connection, just as lots of cars can use the same motorway. For instance this means that several households in an apartment block can use the same broadband connection and that each individual household can cancel their ordinary telephone subscription and use Internet telephony instead. Moreover, it is possible to be on the phone free of charge or very cheap via the Internet. |

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IP | Internet Protocol (IP) is a method or protocol for sending data over the Internet. IP networks are package linked networks where data is divided into packages of varying sizes. Voice can also be transferred via an IP network (Voice over IP) and an application using this is called IP Telephony. |
|||||
| IP is also used as an abbreviation for ownership of intellectually generated properties, "Intellectual Property". Is also abbreviated as IPR, "Intellectual Property Rights". |
||||||
| M2M | The term Machine To Machine (M2M) stands for machines communicating with each other via a network (wit hout human intervention). |
|||||
| ODM | Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) is a business model involving the development of a product according to the customer's product requirement specification. In the typical ODM model, the ODM supplier designs, develops and manufactures the complete product. For instance, based on detailed product requirement specifications from a customer, RTX Telecom has designed a Wireless Telephone Line Extender, including the development and hand ling of the manufacturing of the product. |
|||||
| OEM | An Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) is a manufacturing company developing and manufacturing standar dized products or modules, which are incorporated into end products using the reseller's brand name. There is a low degree of customisation of the OEM product compared to an ODM offering. The customer only performs a few alterations to the final product, usually only a brand name and packaging. |
|||||
| PAB X |
Once upon a time, telephone calls had to be connected manually by the switchboard operator. Such a system was known as a PBX, or Private Branch Exchange. These days, such connections are established automatically, and so the term Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX), i.e. an automated switchboard, is used. |
|||||
| Repeater | A repeater is a unit which transmits the data it receives. A repeater is primarily used to extend on the coverage area for a wireless technology (for instance, a DECT repeater can extend the DECT telephones' coverage area). |
|||||
| Skype™ | Skype™ is a programme allowing telephone conversations via the Internet. Calls to other Skype™ users are free of charge as well as calls to ordinary telephone numbers and mobiles all over the world are at a low rate (via Sky peOut and SkypeIn). |
|||||
| Softphone | A softphone is a programme allowing telephone conversations via the Internet. One of the best known softpho nes is Skype™. Calls to other softphone users are therefore free of charge as well as it is typically possible to make calls to ordinary telephone and mobile phone numbers all over the world at a low rate. |
|||||
| TLE | TLE is the abbreviation of Telephone Line Extender which is a wireless telephone line extender. A TLE can facili tate the use of "Pay-Per-View" functions and proceed the use of other interactive services available for users of digital satellite receivers and set-top boxes. |
|||||
| Turnkey design | Turnkey design refers to a finished product ready to produce. As the word implies, the customer only needs to "turn a key" to launch the product. |
|||||
| US-DECT (DECT 6.0) |
US-DECT is the 1.9 GHz DECT band which is the American counterpart to the European DECT system. US-DECT is also called DECT 6.0. |
|||||
| VoIP | VoIP or "Voice over Internet Protocol" is a method or protocol employed to transfer speech via the Internet. | |||||
| W-LAN | A Wireless Local Area Network (W-LAN) is a wireless LAN allowing several mobile users access to connect to the same network of the company or at home (and thereby share the same resources on the network – for instance a printer). |
|||||
| The different W-LAN standards are mainly specified by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and are therefore called IEEE802.11 (subsequently called 802.11). The technology was primarily developed as replacement of the wired network and is also primarily intended for transmission of data – just like the IP protocol. 802.11 is an open standard and consists of a number of different standards. Some of the best known are 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g, though 802.11n begins to arrive on the scene. 802.11a is located on the 5 GHz frequency area whereas 802.11b and 802.11g are located in the 2.4 GHz frequency area – 802.11n can be located within both frequency areas. |
||||||
| Wi-Fi | Wi-Fi is a standard for wireless transferring between computer and other units, i.e. wireless data net (for instan ce WLAN) based on IEEE802.11 specifications. A Wi-Fi approval assures that units from different manufacturers are able to communicate. |
