Leading-edge technology to serve the customer

Sectra develops and sells products and services in the areas of medical IT and secure communication. We began as a group of researchers at Linköping University and our links to the research community remain firm. We are dedicated to making the world a better place through technical innovation – in partnership with our customers. Together, we work to create efficient solutions improving our customers' daily life.

Over the past 35 years, we have evolved from a small group of researchers and postgraduate students to an international company with more than 500 employees across 12 countries. The key to our success is long-term and close collaboration with customers, whose daily life we must understand to the same extent as if we worked there. We combine this with leading-edge expertise in technology and employees who are driven by using their knowledge to help solve our customers' problems.

More efficient healthcare without compromising quality

With aging populations that are living longer, at the same time as birth rates are declining, resulting in fewer people to finance care, most countries are faced with a major challenge to healthcare systems. In our medical areas, our solutions enable care providers to serve more patients, while maintaining or improving the quality

of care. Medical imaging is increasingly used in diagnostic procedures. Using IT systems enables efficient diagnosis, planning, management, communication and visualization, while ensuring faster and more accurate results throughout the entire care chain.

Communication for a more secure and stable world

Unfortunately, phone calls and messages are relatively easy to intercept using modern technology, and in many areas, this could entail a security threat. In the business area Secure Communications, we contribute to a more secure society by helping European governments, authorities, companies and defense departments to communicate securely, so that information reaches its intended recipient and no one else. Our primary products are used to protect the most sensitive information handled by our customers.

Innovations improve quality of life

Innovation is the foundation of our longterm development and Business Innovation is our greenhouse for the future. This area gathers projects and smaller activities that have the potential to succeed over time, in our main areas or other related niches. Our projects include methods and products that contribute to more efficient and higher quality care for some of the most costly diseases. We participate in research that can lead to a better quality of life, greater customer value and cost savings for healthcare and society.

Healthcare and security are niche areas with substantial potential for expansion

While this may be my first CEO letter, I am no new recruit to the company. Together with committed colleagues, I took part in starting and building the Sectra operations in medical systems that currently account for close to 90% of Group sales. Accordingly, when my long-term colleague, Jan-Olof Brüer chose to step down from the position of President and CEO after 27 years, assuming responsibility for the entire Group was not such a large step to take.

My vision is for Sectra to continue performing successfully, primarily through delivering greater customer value than our competitors. We will always keep the customer in focus and we will solve their problems and help them become more efficient through in-depth knowledge of their day-to-day work. Our efforts will focus on superior functionality, quality, service and usability, thus enabling the delivery of greater value than the competition. Medical image-based IT and secure communication are niche areas with substantial future customer needs and, accordingly, considerable scope for growth.

Healthy order bookings through focused initiatives

In our core areas, Sectra will grow in a controlled fashion in selected markets and, primarily, become large where we have an existing market presence, rather than midsized everywhere. We will successively add regions and markets in a planned manner

with the aim of becoming one of the three largest players in each market and niche in which we operate.

Our strategy has proved successful. Despite subdued demand in many countries, the Group's order bookings increased 30% in the 2012/2013 fiscal year, which was attributable to the Medical Systems business area growing through long-term contracts for region-wide IT systems. Unfortunately, the Secure Communications business area was impacted by project delays due to extended processing times with the principal customer in Sweden. This has led to Sectra restructuring security operations and reviewing how to widen its offering and customer base.

Softer demand in Europe but improvement in the US

In many countries, the uncertain economic trend and the need for government austerity measures had a dampening effect. Unfortunately, we have noted no current

11/12 12/13

78

trend indicating a general improvement, which applies particularly to the south of Europe. However, the trend in the US is slightly more positive than before. As a consequence of the major healthcare reforms in the US, compensation per medical imaging diagnosis performed is declining substantially in parallel with the number of people with access to healthcare increasing. At present, we do not know what the final outcome will be but it is clear that our customers in the US are exposed to increased financial pressure. This could be an advantage for Sectra, since we provide IT systems that are in demand when hospitals carry out rationalizations.

Increased profitability through major structural change

Those who have followed Sectra for a long time know that we have undergone major changes over the past few years. The most substantial of which was in 2011, when we sold the low-dose mammography operations to Philips Electronics. Low-dose mammography is an innovation that we led from research to market establishment but which, at the level of maturity it had reached, was better suited to a company with extensive experience of delivering radiology equipment. The structural change has had a major impact on our financial development and the investments we made in mammography have now become visible as operating profit. The Group's operating profit went from SEK 8 million before the divestment to SEK 85 million this year.

Refers to remaining operations, excluding nonrecurring item 2011/2012.

Towards an operating margin of 15% Since our focus is on increasing operating profit rather than increasing sales, we choose to decline business in which we are unable to add sufficient value that we can charge for. For example, this could mean the sale of hardware for IT systems, which are often sold at low margins. Instead, we focus on the sale of software, delivery and service where we add more unique value and can therefore widen our margins.

In addition to streamlining our offering to high-margin products and services, we must continuously work with our own efficiency to thereby increase operating profit. In the first instance, we are focusing on optimizing the resources used to deliver and support our systems without this weakening our quality.

Since new products and areas often have higher margins, research and development also comprise a key element of our future. The interface between our in-depth knowledge of our customers' daily operations and our sustained investments in technical knowhow and research provides a constant stream of new business opportunities.

Another change, which primarily affects sales at Group level, is that we have an increasing number of customers that inquire after "software as a service" (SAS). During the transition from sales of systems to services, sales growth at Group level will be lower, while the business areas will continue to grow as before. The double effect

of a decrease in low-margin sales and SAS contracts will continue to affect revenue growth over the next few years.

A solid balance sheet means freedom of action and competitive advantage

Through the share redemption program, Sectra's shareholders have shared SEK 369 million over the past two years. Despite this, Sectra has close to SEK 500 million in net cash. The solid balance sheet gives us freedom of action in times when many competitors find it difficult to grow. A solid balance sheet is also a competitive advantage when the proportion of customers that buy medical IT services as a service is increasing. This provides us with the opportunity to finance major customer projects internally.

During the past year, we acquired the UK company Burnbank systems, which delivers medical IT services to the healthcare sector in the UK. We are not averse to making more acquisitions if we identify suitable companies even if our main strategy is organic growth. However, when we make acquisitions they should be in complementary areas that can strengthen our organic growth or create clear and concrete synergies.

The "best people" means competitive advantage

Sectra invests a great deal of care in employing the best and most highly motivated individuals we can find. We have heard

repeatedly from customers that one of the main reasons they chose Sectra was our personnel. Competent personnel who pitch in when needed. While it is not difficult to copy the properties of a product, it is, however, extremely difficult to copy a culture unless you already have it in place. Our own regular surveys show that we score extremely high in customer ratings (Net Promoter Score), and the principal factor for this high level of customer satisfaction is our personnel. I am extremely proud to have been part of recruiting these individuals and, perhaps, even prouder of being entrusted with guiding them forward. Sectra's personnel are not led; they are coached to new great achievements.

Solutions that benefit society

Government agencies, the defense authorities and the private sector need secure communications. We are entrusted with supplying products that protect the most confidential information of many European nations and the EU.

In healthcare, an aging population and increased healthcare needs are resulting in increased requirements for enhanced efficiency. We have IT systems and services for medical diagnostic imaging that assist in developing healthcare and in enhancing its efficiency.

In Business Innovation, we have a number of projects that can positively impact care efficiency and the treatment of some of the most costly illnesses, which comprise paths for future development.

At Sectra, we work long-term to build success for our customers and thereby also for Sectra. With our solid financial position, fantastic personnel and the substantial level of market confidence in Sectra, I confidently look forward to continuing to deliver substantial value to our customers and thereby continuing to increase the value of Sectra's shares.

Market growth
and size
In 2012, the market size for radiology IT systems (RIS/PACS)
in Europe was USD 524 million (approx. SEK 3.6 billion) and
in the US, USD 1,873 million (approx. SEK 11.8 billion). More
than 80% of these comprise picture archiving and commu
nication systems (PACS). On average, the European market
is expected to grow about 5% per year between 2012-2019,
while the corresponding figure for the US is 6-9%. The ex
pected rate of growth for specific countries in Europe varies
between 2-10%. (Source: GlobalData)
Customers are restrictive with information about their
crypto equipment and planned investments, which limits
opportunities for market surveys. Sectra estimates that the
number of potential users of the company's secure tele
phone services with a SECRET security clearance is approx.
0.3 per thousand of the population, or about 100,000 users
in Europe. The estimated figure for a RESTRICTED security
clearance, which is a slightly lower level, is ten times higher.
Sectra's main area is SECRET, but we also provide products
for the RESTRICTED segment.
Market drivers
and trends
• Due to a growing population and longer life expectancy,
healthcare must become more efficient in order to care
for more patients.
• Cost efficiency requirements encourage increasing num
bers of care providers to coordinate their resources or
consolidate their operations. At the same time, the amount
of data for each patient is growing dramatically. In combi
nation, this increases the need for communication, archiv
ing and efficient presentation of large amounts of medical
image data and information.
• The healthcare sector's IT systems are becoming more
complex. They are expanded in order to manage more
types of medical images, and demands for integration with
other healthcare systems are increasing.
• Public security is threatened by the relative simplicity and
low cost involved in intercepting phone calls and messages.
• New threat scenarios and rapid technological advance
ments in data and telecommunication lead to new de
mands for crypto products.
• Growing interest shown by civilian authorities and public
services for the protection of sensitive and confidential
information with security-approved products.
• External data storage is increasing and it must be possible
to transfer large amounts of data efficiently and securely.
Major competitors Agfa, Carestream, Fuji, General Electric, McKesson, Philips
and local players in various countries.

and Selex Communications.
2012/2013 in brief • Several large new customers in such countries as the UK,
the Netherlands and the US sign multi-year contracts with
Sectra for region-wide medical IT systems.
• Sectra consolidates its position in the UK by acquiring
the medical IT services company, Burnbank Systems, and
establishing a local team for product development.
• The product portfolio is expanded through the acquisition
of product rights to a Swedish system for monitoring
radiation doses.
• The customer base is expanded with the Danish Defense
Forces, which choose to invest in Tiger 7401, Sectra's new
product for secure mobile phone communication.
• Deliveries of the new, secure mobile phone Tiger 7401
commence in the Netherlands following approval by the
national Dutch security authority.
• Planned projects are delayed due to extended processing
times with the principal customer in Sweden. This has led
to Sectra restructuring the business area and reviewing
how to widen its offering and customer base.

Sectra's valuegeneration model

Sectra currently has two major business areas: Imaging IT Solutions and Secure Communications. In Imaging IT Solutions, we work in cooperation with healthcare customers to optimize the effectiveness of healthcare with maintained or higher quality care. In Secure Communications, we partner with defense departments and government authorities to create a safer society using secure communication.

This division of business areas is the result of a new organizational structure that was introduced on May 1, 2013. Our largest product area, Radiology IT Systems, is now a separate business area under the name of Imaging IT Solutions, and Secure Communication Systems has been renamed Secure Communications. Both of these business areas are firmly established and provide a stable platform for Sectra's operations.

We have also introduced a new area, Business Innovation, in which we gather the Group's future-oriented projects. These are small at present, but – if successful – hold major potential for international growth. Our customers place high demands on scientific and medical evidence, which often makes the implementation of new technology and methods a slow process. As a result, many research and other early projects will

never lead to anything, while others are successful. The Business Innovation area currently includes the Orthopaedics and Rheumatology business lines and Sectra's research department.

Other operations comprise Sectra's financing activities and central functions for accounts, asset management, IT, marketing communication and investor relations.

The Sectra Group's platform for continued success

  • Established positions in niches where customer confidence is a success factor.
  • Future-oriented projects that are currently small but, if successful, hold potential for international growth.
  • Large customer base that continuously generates new business.
  • Dedicated and experienced employees, with a high level of drive and expertise to resolve customers' challenges.
  • Sustainable investments in research and development that may lead to profitable business within five years.
  • Financial strength that enables flexible payment models and investments in future innovations.
  • Global reach with customers in more than 50 countries.

Close collaboration – the key to success

The key to Sectra's success is our dedication, and ability to understand and solve our customers' problems. Working closely with our customers and understanding their business ensures that what we do really contributes to greater value. Our model for long-term collaboration and further development enables us to now look back on several customer relationships that span more than 20 years. These long relationships also provide a platform for stable earnings and continuous development of our offerings. Multiyear operational, support and upgrading contracts, which normally range between five and ten years, currently account for more than half of the Group's sales.

Research and product development

Sectra has extensive experience in the development of innovative business development in close collaboration with customers, universities and research centers. A total 10-14% of the Group's sales is invested in research and development projects that generate higher customer value in existing niches and closely related areas. We have patent protection for almost 30% of our innovations.

Sectra's success is built on our drive and ability to understand and solve our customers' issues.

Goals for profit growth introduced

Sectra's Group-wide goals and strategies will contribute to a financially stable operation that generates value for Sectra's customers and contribute to long-term value growth for Sectra's shareholders. The financial goals were revised by Sectra's Board of Directors after the end of the 2012/2013 fiscal year. The new goals are (in order of priority):

  • The equity/assets ratio must be at least 30% (unchanged)
  • The operating margin (EBIT) must be at least 15% (unchanged)
  • Operating profit (EBIT) per share must grow at least 10% per year, on average, over a five-year period (changed growth goal)

When calculating the growth goal, adjustments will be made for any changes in the number of shares outstanding due to the cancellation of treasury shares or for bonus issues.

The underlying reason for the revision is that the Group's structure has changed since the sale of the operations for the low-dose mammography product and due to ongoing changes in the market for Sectra's products. This applies primarily to the healthcare market where customers' purchasing habits are gradually changing from capital investments in turnkey IT systems to the purchase of IT systems and software as a service in the form of long operating agreements. In addition, Sectra strives, where possible, to encourage customers to buy hardware directly from hardware suppliers. These products are sold with low margins by Sectra and, accordingly, this strategy has a positive effect on operating margin but reduces growth in sales. In parallel, the markets are not growing in line with the assessments made in 2010 when the preceding goals were set. Since the underlying needs for Sectra's offerings continue to increase, it is the Board's assessment that demand will recover in the long term.

The world needs more efficient healthcare and more secure communication. Sectra plays a key role in satisfying these needs.

Financial goals Status 2012/2013 Strategies & priorities 2013/2014
Stability The equity/assets ratio
must be at least 30%.
The equity/assets ratio is 61.4%, which exceeds the
strategic goal. During the global financial crisis, this
had a positive impact on customer confidence in the
company.
Prioritize cash-flow-positive operations
with investments for organic growth or
complementary acquisitions.
Profitability Operating margin (EBIT)
must be at least 15%.
The operating margin is 10.5%. Medical systems
improved its earnings due to a higher share of license
and services sales and to efficiency improvements
in the supply organization. However, the margin was
impacted by delays to major ongoing projects within
Secure Communications and the costs of restructur
ing in this business area.
Internal efficiency enhancements to maintain
our competitiveness. Focus on global processes
and resource coordination, as well as product
development that can reduce costs for support
and installation. Focus on products and
deliveries that generate higher margins.
Growth Operating profit (EBIT)
per share must grow at
least 10% per year, on
average, over a five-year
period.
For the last five-year period, Sectra posted a negative
average annual growth in EBIT per share of 7.2%.
However, this trend is broken and in the last two years
EBIT per share has increased by more than 8%.
• Increase sales in markets where Sectra holds
an established position and through partners
in carefully selected growth markets.
• Deliver service, support and upgrades, and
further develop our installed bases through
long-term contracts and partnerships with
customers.
• Broaden the product portfolio with new
products and online services.
Previous growth goal Grow by at least 15% per
year, on average, over a
seven-year period.
Sectra's average growth is 5.8%. Growth has been
slowed by the weak economic situation, primarily in
Europe which accounts for 71% of the Group's sales.
Demand will recover over time, due to the continued
and growing need to optimize efficiency and reduce
costs in our niche areas.
This goal has been replaced by a growth goal of
net profit per share according to above.

Status financial goals

Future-proof systems for medical imaging provide efficient, safe and high-quality care

Where we are now

Sectra is one of the world's leading providers of IT systems for managing medical imaging and patient information in radiology. We have successfully delivered some of the largest installations of radiology IT systems worldwide. More than 1,400 care providers use Sectra's systems for faster and more accurate diagnosis of more than 70 million radiology examinations per year.

A total of 400 people are employed in our own sales organization or in our partners' operations in almost 30 countries.

In the 2012/2013 fiscal year, Imaging IT generated sales of SEK 709 million. We focus on long-term customer relationships and our sales are mainly derived from multi-year operation, support and upgrade contracts.

On May 1, 2013, our Radiology IT business area changed name to Imaging IT Solutions. The purpose of this is to meet

the trend that we see in the market, with care providers increasingly wanting to coordinate the image production of other departments with the IT infrastructure that exists in radiology.

Where we aim to be

Our long-term objective is to be a leading provider of total solutions for all medical imaging and information management. Our primary focus is on radiology but, over time, we will also lead the field in other departments where medical imaging is used. In every market and every segment in which we are active, we shall achieve a position as one of the three largest suppliers.

Sectra's IT systems enable more efficient diagnoses of more than 70 million radiology examinations per year.

The way forward

  • Grow through new sales in countries and regions with an established customer base. In 2012/2013, the highest growth was reported by our operations in Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands.
  • Retain existing customers and broaden our offering to them with add-on products and services. During the year, for example, we helped several customers who use our IT system for medical imaging management to optimize their efficiency by expanding the solution with our system for patient information management.
  • Deliver service, support and upgrades, and further develop our installed base through multi-year contracts and partnerships with customers.
  • Use our financial position to be able to be flexible regarding financing solutions for our customers without jeopardizing long-term profitability.
  • Continue to grow in selected growth markets through partners. In recent years, we have established partnerships in Russia and the Middle East and both are developing positively.
  • Broaden our product portfolio with products that contribute to further efficiency enhancements for our customers. During the year, for example, we launched a system for analyzing production data and a new service for dose monitoring, Sectra DoseTrack.
  • Make small and complementary acquisitions that strengthen our product offering and our organic growth. In 2012/2013, for example, we acquired the medical IT services company Burnbank in the UK and the product rights to a system for radiation exposure monitoring that subsequently resulted in the Sectra DoseTrack product.

Mission statement

Increase the effectiveness of healthcare, while maintaining or increasing the quality of care.

IT systems enable faster diagnosis and better quality healthcare

Sectra's IT systems and services help our customers to effectively diagnose, communicate and visualize medical image information and accompanying patient information. When care personnel gain direct access to images and information, regardless of where they are located, the efficiency of information flows, processes and resource utilization is optimized. The IT systems also facilitate collaboration between hospitals and regions and across national borders. Care resources are easier to coordinate and access to specialized expertise increases. Sectra's systems also provide powerful support for navigating and interpreting the enormous amounts of data created by modern multi-dimensional images. For the patient, the value generated by faster diagnosis and better quality healthcare is highly significant.

Continued expansion with a focus on radiology

Radiology examinations are performed on most patients to diagnose and treat a disease or injury, giving the radiology department a central role in the healthcare system. More efficient procedures for referrals, patient data, images and results from the radiology department enhance efficiency throughout the entire care chain. This is why Sectra has focused on optimizing radiology workflows for more than 20 years.

More and more care providers are discovering the benefits of also using Sectra's IT systems for other image-intensive departments in the healthcare sector. A joint strategy for managing and archiving all types of medical imaging can optimize the existing infrastructure and provide faster, patient-focused care. This area holds major potential for further enhancing the quality and efficiency of care.

Borderless communication for a more secure world

Sectra has over 30 years' experience in the development of secure communication systems. Our solutions are now used by customers in most countries throughout Europe and in the EU and NATO organization. This is the result of close, long-standing partnerships with customers and national security authorities in many countries.

Being trusted to protect a nation's most sensitive information entails a high level of supplier trust. Sectra knows what is required to meet the most stringent security requirements, while also satisfying organization and end-user expectations in terms of high flexibility and mobility.

Some 60 people are employed at our offices throughout Sweden and the Netherlands. In the 2012/2013 fiscal year, Secure

Communications generated sales of SEK 99 million. Our main focus is direct sales, but we also work alongside our partners in some countries.

Where we aim to be

Our long-term objective is to be the preferred secure communication partner for authorities, defense departments and other critical infrastructures in Europe. We will pave the way to ensure that the target groups handling classified information and that must, according to regulations, use evaluated and approved equipment for their communication, also gain access to the latest technology.

Where we are now The way forward

  • Assist existing and new customers that require secure mobile communications by offering our latest products, Tiger 7401 and Panthon. Tiger 7401 recently acquired national approval in the Netherlands and will be approved within the EU during 2013/2014.
  • Continue our close partnerships with customers and user groups and offer upgraded equipment as our new products and solutions are launched.
  • Deliver service, support and upgrades and further develop existing installations through long-term contracts with our customers.
  • Continue with the Vecom subscription service for secure voice, providing a secure communication solution for all Dutch ministries.
  • Complete and sell the new high-speed network encryption solution Ternety in Sweden, which we are developing on behalf of FMV (the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration).
  • Assist new customers and partners in the field of customer-specific and customized security solutions. Offer our unique expertise throughout the entire chain – from pre-study to final system and product.
  • Focus on our domestic markets, Sweden and the Netherlands, and countries in which we already hold an established position.

Mission statement

To deliver approved and efficient security solutions to authorities, defense departments and other critical functions of society throughout Europe.

Sectra has the solutions to protect a nation's most sensitive information.

Secure communication

If classified information falls into the wrong hands, the results could be disastrous for individuals and, at worst, for an entire nation. Sectra's products and solutions enable individuals and organizations to use their mobiles and send data, feeling certain that the information is only being shared with the intended recipient.

Partnerships without geographic borders

In our increasingly global society, where businesses and organizations operate across several geographic locations, the need for efficient and secure communication is growing. Increasing volumes of information are to be shared, exchanged and backed up, requiring an effective IT infrastructure that also includes mobile communication. The information must be equally as accessible to authorities, defense departments and infrastructures as to the rest of society in general. The communication equipment must also be approved and inspected by an impartial security authority. We make this easy for our customers by developing products and systems for secure voice and data communication that are approved nationally as well as centrally by the EU and NATO.

Smart security for smartphones

Rapid technological developments have led to major security challenges for organizations and businesses. Information that was previously stored on computers only and, as such, relatively protected is now stored on smartphones as well. Demand for secure smartphone communications is increasing, but the market is still immature. The newly developed security solution Panthon places Sectra on the cutting edge. As experts with long experience in the field of secure communication, there is a major potential for us to play a central role in this emerging market.

Cultivating ideas for long-term growth

Business Innovation gathers projects and smaller activities that have the potential to succeed over time. In certain cases, the projects are maturing business lines that already generate profits, but need to become a little larger before they are established as separate business areas, or projects that may generate profit in three to five years.

Sectra contributes to increased care efficiency and the treatment of some of society's most costly illnesses.

The area currently comprises the Orthopaedics and Rheumatology business lines and Sectra's research department. Sectra's visualization table for medical education is also one of our projects in Business Innovation. This project is currently reported in the Imaging IT segment, since the visualization table is a further development of our IT solution for

Sectra's orthopaedic offering is also sold as an online service, Sectra Preop Online. Customer benefits include not needing to install software locally and that the service can be used independently of the customer's own system for radiology image management (PACS). During the fiscal year, Zimmer, which is one of the world's largest manufacturers of prostheses, selected Sectra as a cooperative partner, and now offers our online service to its customers in EMEA countries.

Rheumatology

Preventive and profitable care that reduces suffering

Osteoporosis is one of the world's most costly and painful diseases. The costs for osteoporosis-related fractures are estimated to amount to EUR 30 million per year in Sweden and the five largest European countries combined1 , partly due to the fact that 80%2 of those suffering from the disease do not receive the correct diagnosis and treatment. The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare's new guidelines emphasize how broadening the diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis could lead to major cost savings. Sectra's method for early diagnosis, Sectra OneScreen, could significantly reduce the costs of care and aftercare for osteoporosis-related fractures.

Easy to combine osteoporosis screenings with mammograms

Osteoporosis is a condition that mainly affects women, and mainly after menopause. In many countries, this group already participates in mammography programs. Sectra OneScreen enables the combination of ordinary breast screening with an X-ray image of the hand, which is taken directly after the mammography images with the same equipment. The image is then sent via the Internet to Sectra for automatic image analysis to determine bone mineral density and thus enable an assessment of the risk of osteoporosis.

This method is now used by mammography clinics in nine countries and to date, almost 3,000 women with a significantly higher risk for osteoporosis-related fractures have been identified. Early diagnosis enables treatment of the disease and prevents unnecessary suffering for many of these women due to painful fractures. Reducing the number of fractures also generates major cost savings for society.

Research

Higher customer value

Several projects are currently taking place, both with the intention of identifying clinical evidence for existing techniques and creating new products. Among other projects, Sectra is participating in a major Swedish research project to digitize microscopic images that commenced in 2012. The project, which is part-financed by Vinnova, is being conducted by the CMIV research center at Linköping University and nine (of a total of 20) county councils in Sweden.

Digitization can improve the quality of cancer care

Rapid and exact analyses of tissue samples are crucial for cancer nursing care. At the same time, pathologists are in short supply and cancer incidence rates are growing in pace with the aging population. Digitizing microscopic images is believed to be a cornerstone in reducing waiting times, increasing diagnostic precision, enhancing resource efficiency and improving education.

Sectra's research contributes valuable knowledge and long experience of digital medical image management.

Medical education

Visualization table raises the quality of medical education

Sectra's Visualization Table is a large interactive screen with an image display system that enables interaction with 3D human body images. Detailed studies of virtual bodies provide students with a better understanding of anatomy, bodily functions and variations between individuals, and greater knowledge of rare diseases already during medical training.

Used in 10 countries

In Sweden, the visualization table is used by universities in Gothenburg, Örebro, Uppsala and Linköping. In 2012/2013, the table was also introduced into medical education by customers in France, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Germany and Turkey.

The visualization table has been developed in partnership with researchers at the Center for Medical Image Science and Visualization, the Interactive Institute and the Visualization Center C.

Knowledge and passion

The key to Sectra's success is competent employees who are dedicated to solving its customers' problems. We win when we help our customers, are faster, more sensitive to customer requirements, share our knowledge and quickly adapt to changed circumstances.

Our work at Sectra is meaningful – on both an individual level and for society. Imaging IT contributes to more efficient care, while Secure Communications promotes a more secure and stable world. This entails major responsibility.

"All, and we really mean all, Sectra employees must have a solid understanding of our customers' environment and also feel a great sense of responsibility for how our products and systems function. And if our customers ever experience any problems, we must do our utmost to help them," says Sectra's CEO Torbjörn Kronander.

"The attitude and dedication of our employees, and how we work together with our customers, is the key to continued success for both them and us. We know that many of our customers are pressed for time, so whenever we meet, we must be well-acquainted with the customers' operations and problems, as well as being perceived as efficient and highly competent. This can be summarized as: 'The knowledge to meet expectations. The passion to exceed them.' An expression that we also use in marketing in our medical business. That sums up what customers can and should expect from Sectra."

All employees visit customers

Several times a year, our coworkers go out and visit the customers that allow us insight into their operations; for obvious reasons, we are not always given this opportunity in security operations. This provides greater insight into how our customers work and helps us ensure that our products and services generate customer value.

"Since every Sectra employee understands our customer's environment and their challenges, we have a better chance of delivering the most effective products and services. In addition to the quality enhancements generated by all customer visits, our employees find it stimulating and enjoyable to really understand how our products are used and how they make a difference," says Torbjörn Kronander.

Multicultural environment

Sectra's employees come from some 30 different countries and bring experience from a range of cultures and settings. This multicultural environment provides strength in our international business development. We also encourage internal mobility between Sectra's departments, and between Sectra's offices around the world. This spreads our combined expertise and promotes collaboration within the Group.

Customers' views about Sectra

Hurricane Sandy approaches New York Bellevue Hospital, New York, USA

Sectra customer since 2008. Approx. 300,000 radiology examinations per year

Most hospitals practice disaster preparedness without ever having to experience a true catastrophe. In the fall of 2012, Hurricane Sandy made its way to New York City and Bellevue Hospital suffered its wrath.

October 29, 2012 – 8:30 p.m. An explosion at a nearby electrical substation forces the hospital to emergency generator power. Flooding from the East River begins and water is pouring in, the hospital basement is flooded. The PACS equipment resides on the fourth and fifth floors and stays dry.

10:00 p.m. Thomas Dicks, PACS Administrator, emails the Sectra Helpdesk that the hospital has lost power and the back-up system isn't yet initialized.

Read the full story about how Sectra's employees helped radiology personnel to continue working while Sandy passed over New York:

High direct returns on Sectra's share

In recent years, shareholders have received high direct returns on the Sectra share, totaling SEK 369 million since 2011.

Due to a strong financial position and substantial cash flow, the Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting resolve to transfer an additional SEK 166 million to shareholders, corresponding to a direct return of 8.4% based on the year-end share price.

Redemption program and dividend

In 2011/2012, Sectra implemented a redemption program, in which SEK 5 per share, totaling SEK 185.5 million, was transferred to shareholders. The redemption was carried out through a 2:1 share split, combined with a mandatory redemption process and a stock dividend to restore the share capital. No ordinary dividend was issued in 2011/2012.

For 2012/2013, the Board of Directors proposes that SEK 4.50 per share, totaling SEK 166.9 million, was distributed to the shareholders through the same type of redemption process. On April 30, 2013, the equity/assets ratio was 61.4% and following the redemption process, the comparable equity/assets ratio was 54.4%. An equity/ assets ratio of more than 30%, well in excess of Sectra's objective. No ordinary dividend is proposed. For more information and the schedule, see the Investor/General Meeting section on Sectra's website.

Dividend policy

Sectra's dividend policy is that the dividend for each year must be adapted to the company's capital requirements for both operation and growth, and to the shareholders' desire for a dividend. The objective is to provide shareholders with a stable and favorable dividend over time and to adapt the dividend to enable the company to achieve an equity/assets ratio that is never less than 30%.

Share price performance

During the fiscal year, the share price rose 23% to SEK 53.00 on the balance-sheet date. The Stockholm Exchange's Total Index during the same period rose 12%. The number of shares traded was 2.9 million (5.9), corresponding to a turnover rate of 0.09 times (0.17).

Significant events 2012/2013

  • Sectra acquired Burnbank Systems Limited, which sells IT services to the UK healthcare sector.
  • Sectra transferred SEK 5 per share to shareholders, a total of SEK 185 million, through a share redemption program.
  • Torbjörn Kronander assumed the position of President and CEO of Sectra AB on November 1, 2012, following Jan-Olof Brüer's decision to step down after 27 years as President of the company.
  • The Board of Directors appointed Simo Pykälistö, Chief Financial Officer of the Sectra Group, and Marie Ekström, now President of Imaging IT Solutions, as Executive Vice Presidents of the company.
  • Swedish healthcare provider Region Skåne signed a six-year contract with Sectra for development, maintenance and support of the region-wide IT solution, Sectra RIS. The total order value amounted to SEK 55 million.

Market

Sectra focuses primarily on growth in countries where the company has an existing market presence and through partners in carefully selected growth markets. This strategy has proved successful and order bookings for the 2012/2013 fiscal year were up 30.7% to SEK 916.0 million (701.1). The Medical Systems business area in the UK, Sweden, the Netherlands and the US accounted for the largest increase in sales.

In many markets, the uncertain economic trend and the need for substantial government austerity measures had a dampening effect on growth over the last few years. This applied particularly to European markets, which accounted for 71.2% of the Group's total sales. The long-term assessment is that demand will recover, since the underlying need in Sectra's niche areas either remains constant or is increasing.

Medical Systems

Sectra's largest business area Medical Systems increased sales 3.7% to SEK 728.2 million (702.0) and operating profit 33.9% to SEK 97.1 million (72.5). The business area has grown through major long-term contracts for region-wide medical IT systems, which are sold by Imaging IT Solutions (previously Radiology IT). Imaging IT Solutions, which will be reported as a separate business area in 2013/2014, offers care providers IT systems and services for archiving, processing and presenting medical image data and related patient information. A substantial need exists for systems that increase healthcare efficiency and growth is driven by additional sales to installed bases, replacement business and new sales.

Imaging IT Solutions' largest markets are Northern Europe and North America. In 2012/2013, sales were SEK 709.2 million and operating profit was SEK 103.2 million. The bulk of the business area's revenues derive from commitments to existing

customers, both in the form of additional sales and long-term contracts for products, services, support and upgrades but also from an increasing proportion of new customers. More information about Imaging IT Solutions is available in the "Business areas in brief" section on pages 8 and 12.

The Medical Systems business area also includes the operations that from May 1, 2013, are reported under the Business Innovation segment. These comprise projects and smaller operations with substantial long-term potential for success. Sectra's offering includes methods and projects that contribute to increased efficiency and better care for osteoporosis, IT systems for planning and follow-up of orthopaedic operations as well as systems for digitizing pathology, the last remaining major undigitized area in medical imaging. Sectra also participates in research that provides clinical evidence for the company's products and which can increase customer benefit in existing niches or related areas. In the 2012/2013 fiscal year, Business Innovation had sales of SEK 17.7 million and an operating loss of SEK 7.0 million. Read more about Business Innovation on page 16.

Sectra's Secure Communications business area (previously Secure Communication Systems) offers government agencies and defense forces solutions and services that protect sensitive and confidential information from eavesdropping. The products are approved by the EU and NATO as well as by a number of national security agencies. The market is driven by the fact that it is simpler than ever to eavesdrop on telephone calls and data traffic, as well as changes to various regulations for the management of information that carries a security classification. Increasing numbers of authorities are also choosing to protect confidential but unclassified information.

Sweden and the Netherlands are the largest markets for secure communications products. In the 2012/2013 fiscal year, sales were SEK 99.0 million (101.8) with an operating profit of SEK 1.4 million (15.3). During the year, the Swedish market was adversely affected by extended processing times at the business area's principal customer. As part of managing the consequences of delays in planned projects and to open up for new business opportunities, the business area has implemented a restructuring program that negatively impacted operating profit by SEK 3 million. Read more about operations in the "Business areas in brief" section on pages 8 and 14.

Seasonal variations

Sectra experiences seasonal variations, which means that most invoicing and earnings traditionally occur at the end of the fiscal year. Order volumes can vary significantly in terms of individual quarters, since Sectra has many large customers that hold extensive long-term contracts with the company for medical IT projects, for example, or the development of encryption systems.

Research and development

Sectra invests 10–14% of consolidated sales in research and development (R&D) projects. It is difficult to provide a more exact figure since many of the projects inhabit a grey zone between R&D and customer orders. R&D is conducted both in-house and in collaberation with customers and partners. During 2012/2013, SEK 12.2 million (10.6) of Sectra's development costs for standard products was capitalized as intangible assets in the balance sheet. Customer-related costs for the development of new products and functions are included in project costs and are recognized in profit or loss. Direct research expenditures are not tangible and, accordingly, these expenditures are not recognized separately.

Employees

Sectra's personnel have strong skills and a solid educational background, 80% of personnel have a graduate degree and the most have completed postgraduate studies. On the balance-sheet date, Sectra had 528 (502) permanent employees and some 30 project employees. Employee turnover during 2012/2013 was 13.8% (14.2).

Employees' education level

The company works proactively with work environment and health issues by offering health checks, fitness programs and training opportunities. This resulted in very low absence due to illness, corresponding to 1.5% (1.7). Sectra works continuously to promote equality to achieve a gender balance and diversity. The proportion of female employees is 30% (29). The Group has employees from 30 countries that contribute experience from a range of cultures and environments. For more information, please refer to Note 2.

Environmental information

Sectra primarily develops and sells software and services and, to a lesser degree, physical products. The company's operations are not subject to notification or permit requirements under the Swedish Environmental Code. Neither its products nor the company's own production have any major impact on the environment. The digital radiology systems that Sectra develops are highly beneficial from an environmental perspective. The introduction of digital technology reduces the need for film and chemicals with a high environmental impact and minimizes travel and transportation.

Risks, risk management and sensitivity analysis

Through its operations, Sectra is exposed to business risks and dependent on large customers and partners, exchange-rate fluctuations' effect on the price structure in the markets in which the Group operates, as well as property and liability risks. In addition, Sectra is exposed to various types of financial risks, such as currency, interest-rate, credit and liquidity risks. Please refer to Note 31 for more information about how the company assesses risks for the coming year.

Corporate governance

The management and control of the Sectra Group is divided between the shareholders, the Board of Directors and the President. Sectra applies the Swedish Corporate Governance Code (the Code). Sectra prepared a corporate governance report in accordance with the rules of the Code and the application instructions stipulated in Swedish legislation and the Code itself. The Report was prepared as a separate document from the Annual Report and the audit report is enclosed therein. The Corporate Governance Report is available on the Group's website, www.sectra.se, along with other information pertaining to corporate governance at Sectra.

The Sectra share

On the balance-sheet date, Sectra's share capital totaled SEK 37,094,978 distributed among 37,094,978 shares. Of these shares, 2,620,692 were Class A and 34,474,286 Class B. All shares carry equal rights to the company's assets and profits. A Class A share carries ten votes and a Class B share one vote.

The Articles of Association contain a pre-emption clause for the transfer of Class A shares. In addition, there are no agreements known to the company between shareholders that could result in restrictions to the right to transfer shares, nor are there any agreements to which the company is party that would have an impact if the control of the company is changed as a result of public purchase offers.

Dividend/Redemption program

The 2012 AGM resolved to transfer SEK 5 per share, a total of SEK 185.5 million, to shareholders through a share redemption program. The redemption process was conducted during July and August 2012. No ordinary dividend was paid for 2011/2012.

For the 2012/2013 fiscal year, the Board and President propose that the 2013 AGM resolve that SEK 4.50 per share, a total of SEK 166.9 million, be transferred to shareholders through a share redemption program. No ordinary dividend is proposed.

Major shareholders

On the balance-sheet date, Sectra had 4,203 shareholders. Of these, the following shareholders had direct and indirect holdings comprising more than 10% of the number of votes for the total number of shares in the company on the balance-sheet date:

  • Torbjörn Kronander, who directly and indirectly through companies represents 16.9% of the votes.
  • Jan-Olof Brüer, who directly and indirectly through family and companies represents 16.9% of the votes.
  • Nordea Investment Funds, who directly and indirectly through companies represents 10.6% of the votes.

Share-based incentive programs

During the year, employees and Board members exercised convertibles corresponding to 252,890 shares at a nominal amount of SEK 10.8 million. The conversion pertained to the 2009/2012 convertible program and the conversion price was SEK 42.90. Convertibles outstanding amounted to a nominal value of SEK 6.5 million following the conversion and this amount was repaid to the holders on the maturity date of June 15, 2012. No conversion took place in the stock option program for employees in North America with a redemption period from 2012/2013 and the 2009/2012 employee stock options have thus expired. Sectra issued three new incentive programs during the fiscal year, please refer to Note 2 for additional information.

Full conversion and exercise of the issued incentive programs would increase the number of shares by 856,768, corresponding to 2.3% of the share capital and 1.4% of the votes. The share capital after dilution was SEK 37,951,746.

Authorizations

The 2012 Annual General Meeting granted authorization to the Board, prior to the next AGM, to resolve on a new issue of not more than 3,700,000 shares. The purpose was to facilitate an issue of new shares to finance marketing investments and the acquisition of companies or operations, to secure the costs arising in connection with the company's incentive programs and to enable continuous adaptation of the company's capital structure. The AGM also resolved to authorize the company to repurchase not more than 10% of the company's own shares up until the next AGM. On the balance-sheet date, the Board had not utilized either of these authorizations.

Guidelines for remuneration to senior executives

In accordance with the guidelines prepared by the Board, the 2012 AGM adopted the following policies for remuneration and other terms of employment for company management (the President and other members of Group management). The guidelines apply to agreements that are signed or amended after the AGM. The Board of Directors proposes that the policies for remuneration and other terms of employment for company management that were adopted at the 2012 Annual General Meeting continue to apply, with the adjustment that variable remuneration may also comprise share-based instruments.

Remuneration to company management is based on normal market terms, while also ensuring the shareholders' best interests. Remuneration primarily comprises fixed salary, variable salary, pension benefits and other benefits, such as a company car. Pension benefits are defined-contribution.

Fixed salary is established by accounting for the executive's experience, responsibilities and performance and is based on normal market conditions. Variable remuneration is proportionate to the executive's responsibilities and authority. It has a maximum limit and is based on the fulfillment of targets that promote the company's long-term creation of value. Where applicable, variable salary is based on pre-determined quantitative criteria. The company's costs for the variable salary portion for the President and other members of company management amount to not more than 50% of the fixed salary costs.

The notice period for terminating employment by an employee is a maximum of 12 months. If employment is terminated by the company, the total notice period and the time during which severance pay is received is a maximum of 24 months. Ordinary

retirement age is 65. Pension terms and conditions are market-based and based on defined-contribution pension solutions. The pension premium is not more than 30% of the fixed and variable salary.

Board members with special expertise that perform services for the company beyond the scope of the Board assignment may receive a fee for such services payable at market rates. Decisions on such fees are taken by the Board of Directors, without the participation of the Board member in question.

Issues concerning remuneration to company management are handled by the President. Remuneration to the President is resolved by the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors' statement is reported under Note 33.

Significant events after the balance-sheet date

The Board set new financial goals for the Group in May 2013, please refer to the "Goals and strategies" section on page 9. At the time of publishing this Annual Report, no other events considered significant by the Board of Directors had taken place after the balance-sheet date.

Outlook

Sectra has a strong technical platform and a business model that builds on long-term customer relations. These comprise a solid foundation for the continuous development of the company's offering.

Sectra's niche areas: IT for medical imaging and secure communication are markets with substantial scope for continued expansion. The need to enhance efficiency continues to increase in healthcare as part of managing the demographic trend and increasing need for care. In Imaging IT Solutions, Sectra's systems and services for medical diagnostic imaging help to develop healthcare in parallel with making it more efficient. Society needs to improve in how it deals with elderly diseases. Sectra has a number of projects in Business Innovation that can positively impact care efficiency and the treatment of some of the most costly of such illnesses.

In the security field, government agencies, the military and the private sector are increasingly exposed to security threats and eavesdropping attempts. Sectra is trusted to deliver products that protect classified information at the highest secrecy levels and the company's products in Secure Communications are approved by the EU, NATO and many national security agencies.

Approval of reports

Pursuant to the Board decision on May 31, 2013, the consolidated financial statements have been approved for publication and will be presented to the AGM for adoption on June 27, 2013.

Proposed appropriation of profits

The following is at the disposal of the Annual General Meeting (SEK):
Fair value reserve -16,275,271
Share premium reserve 18,243,357
Profit brought forward 210,313,910
Profit for the year 43,992,089
256,274,085

The Board and President propose that the profits be appropriated so that SEK 256,274,085 is carried forward. They also propose that the Annual General Meeting resolves that SEK 4.50 per share is transferred to shareholders through a 2:1 stock split combined with a mandatory redemption process and a stock dividend to restore the share capital. This entails a transfer of SEK 166,927,401 to the company's shareholders. No ordinary dividend is proposed.

Board of Directors' affirmation

We believe that that consolidated financial statements and the annual report were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU and generally accepted accounting principles and present a true and fair view of the Group's and the Parent Company's financial position and earnings.

The Administration Report for the Group and the Parent Company presents a fair review of the Group's and the Parent Company's operations, financial position and earnings and describes the material risks and uncertainties facing the Parent Company and the companies included in the Group.

General accounting policies

General accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Changes made to existing and new standards during the year have not been applied retroactively within the Group. In addition, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council's recommendation RFR 1 "Supplemental accounting rules for groups" have been applied.

All amounts in the text and tables in the Notes are in SEK thousands, unless otherwise stated.

Amended accounting policies

Accounting policies and calculation methods remain unchanged compared with those applied in the Annual Report for the 2011/2012 fiscal year. With the exception that IFRS 3, Business Combinations has now been applied. IFRS 3 states policies for the recognition and measurement of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as well as goodwill, and stipulates disclosures about business combinations.

New and amended accounting policies that become applicable from May 1, 2013

A number of new or amended standards and interpretations will apply from May 1, 2013 and onwards, but have not been applied in advance when preparing these financial statements. No advance application of news or amendments that will apply as of the 2012/2013 fiscal year has been planned. The amendments and interpretations that are not yet effective are not considered to have any significant impact on the Group's financial statements.

Parent Company

The Parent company applies the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities. This means that the EU-approved IFRS rules and pronouncements are applied as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act and Swedish taxation practices. The rules for valuation and clarification follow IFRS and are the same as those applied within the Group, except that the arrangement follows the Annual Accounts Act and may thus deviate from IFRS in certain cases. Untaxed reserves and appropriations are also recognized in the Parent Company in accordance with Swedish law.

Basis for preparation of the reports

Assets, provisions and liabilities are measured at cost or nominal value unless otherwise stated in the notes that follow. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires that the Group uses accounting assumptions and estimates for the future. The most important estimates and judgments are presented in Note 30.

Consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the acquisition method, and cover those companies in which the Parent Company, directly or through subsidiaries, exerts a controlling influence. A controlling influence normally applies when more than 50% of the vote-carrying shares in a subsidiary have been acquired.

The Group's internal receivables and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and unrealized gains or losses arising from transactions between Group companies have been eliminated in their entirety during preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Non-controlling interests are the portion of net assets and earnings that belong to other joint shareholders in a subsidiary. Non-controlling interests are recognized in Group earnings after tax and the share of net assets is recognized in consolidated shareholders' equity.

Share holdings in associated companies, in which the Group holds a significant but non-controlling influence, are recognized according to the equity method. The value of the associated company's shares is adjusted based on Sectra's share of net earnings after tax. In the consolidated income statement, the change in value is recognized as "participations in the earnings of associated companies." As of the balance-sheet date, Sectra had no non-controlling interests or participations in associated companies.

Acquisitions

When acquisitions are made, the acquired companies are absorbed into the Group as of their acquisition date. The cost of the subsidiary's shares is determined by means of an acquisition analysis conducted at the time of the acquisition. The compensation transferred by the Group to obtain controlling influence over subsidiaries is calculated as the total fair value of the net assets on the date of acquisition, which

comprises the fair value of an asset or liability that has arisen from an agreement on contingent consideration. The acquired net assets also comprise intangible fixed assets in the acquired company that have not previously been recognized. The difference between the acquisition cost for the subsidiary's shares and the estimated fair value of the acquired net assets at the time of the acquisition is recognized as Group goodwill. Acquisition costs are recognized as they arise.

Translation of foreign subsidiaries

Functional currency

The consolidated accounts are presented in SEK, which is the Parent Company's functional and reporting currency. Items in the financial reports for companies in the Group are valued in the currency that is used where the company has its main operations, that is, in its functional currency.

Transactions and balance-sheet items

Transactions in functional currencies are recognized initially in the functional currency at the currency rate on the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the closing date (year-end rate). Currency differences arising in payment of transactions in foreign currencies and in translation of monetary assets and liabilities at the year-end rate are recognized in profit and loss.

Financial statements of foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of Group companies are translated at the year-end rate. The income statements are translated at the average rate during the reporting period. Any exchange-rate differences that arise are applied directly to Group equity. Translation differences that arise in the translation of current receivables and liabilities in foreign currency for which payment is planned within the foreseeable future are recognized in profit and loss. Translation differences that arise in the translation of long-term receivables in foreign currency and that constitute net investments in subsidiaries are recognized against shareholders' equity.

Discontinued operations

Profit/loss after tax for discontinued operations is recognized as a single amount in profit and loss. The amount is specified particularly in Note 14. Net cash flow pertaining to discontinued operations is recognized as a single amount in the Group's cash flow statements. In the note for discontinued operations, net cash flow is specified for operating activities, investment activities and financing activities.

Segment reporting

The division by operating segment is based on the areas of operation monitored by the Board of Directors and executive management in their internal reporting. The Group's operational divisions, Medical Systems and Secure Communication Systems, serve as its operating segments, which corresponds with the operating structure of the Group. Other operations pertain primarily to activities for financing of customer projects and the Parent Company's invoicing for Group-wide services and asset management.

Prior to May 1, 2013 the Group introduced a new organization in which the operations are divided into the following segments: Imaging IT Solutions, Secure Communication, Business Innovation and Other Operations.

Revenue recognition

The Group's revenues mainly derive from fixed-price projects, sales of products and licenses, and consulting work. Project-based income is recognized based on the project's degree of completion at the balance-sheet date. The degree of completion is calculated as the ratio between the expenses paid at the balance-sheet date and the estimated total expenses. In cases where a loss is expected to occur on an uncompleted project, the entire anticipated loss is applied against earnings for the year. Revenues from sales of products and licenses are recognized as income at the time of delivery unless significant risks or obligations remain after delivery. Product sales that are delivered in project form are recognized as income in accordance with the degree of completion based on the accrued hours. Ongoing consulting services are recognized as income as the work is executed.

Pensions and post-retirement benefits to employees

The Sectra Group has defined-contribution pensions only, which means that the Group makes payments to various pension institutions on an ongoing basis. These payments are expensed continuously and constitute the Group's pension costs for the year, which are recognized under "Personnel costs." Sectra has no other pension obligations and is not responsible for any value changes in the paid-in premiums. This means that Sectra does not bear the risk when pensions are paid, and no pension obligations are recognized as liabilities in the balance sheet.

Intangible fixed assets

Intangible fixed assets are recognized at cost, less amortization and impairment losses. Individual assessments of value in use are conducted on an ongoing basis in order to identify any impairment need. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable value, the differences are charged against earnings for the period on an ongoing basis as they arise. In the case of an asset that does not generate cash flows, the recoverable value is estimated for the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The recoverable value is the higher of the asset's net selling price and its value in use. Value in use is calculated as the present value of future cash flows relating to specific assets. The amortization period for intangible fixed assets exceeds five years if the asset is expected to generate financial benefits, based on individual assessment, and has a period of use in excess of five years.

Capitalized development costs

Sectra develops proprietary software and equipment in the fields of medical equipment and secure communications. All research costs are expensed directly, and customer-related development costs are included in project costs, which are expensed at the time of revenue recognition. Internal development costs for standard products are capitalized and recognized as intangible fixed assets to the extent that they are expected to generate financial benefits in the future. Additional requirements for capitalization are that project costs can be reliably estimated, that it is technically possible to complete the project, and that the Group has the necessary resources to complete development. Capitalized project costs include all expenses directly attributable to materials, services and remuneration to employees. Capitalized development costs are subject to straight-line amortization over the period of use per individual asset, although the maximum amortization period is five years. Amortizations of capitalized development costs start when the asset is completed and sold to customer.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents future economic benefits arising from a business acquisition that are not specifically identified and recognized separately. Refer to Business Combinations for information about how goodwill is determined the first time it is recognized. Goodwill is recognized at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Refer to Note 10 for a description of impairment testing.

Patents

Acquired patent rights are recognized at cost and are subject to straight-line amortization over the assets' ten-year estimated period of use.

Trademarks and customer relations

Trademarks and customer relations pertain to acquisition-related assets. These rights are recognized at cost and are subject to straight-line amortization over the assets' ten-year estimated period of use.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation according to plan is based on the original cost and estimated financial lifetime. The following depreciation periods are applied:

Buildings 40 years
Office furniture 10 years
Equipment and office machines 5 years
Equipment at customer premises 3-10 years

Leasing

Through operational and financial leasing agreements, the company utilizes equipment, premises, computers, cars and items for onward leasing. Since the company only has leasing agreements comprising insignificant amounts, all leasing agreements are classified as operational leasing agreements.

Costs of operational leases are charged against net earnings for the year. These costs are recognized as ongoing operating expenses in profit and loss, and are spread over the entire term of the lease.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are expensed when they are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset and are part of the cost of that asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. The Sectra Group had no qualifying assets on the balance sheet date.

Inventories

Inventories are recognized at the lower of historical cost according to the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method or net selling price. Estimated obsolescence has thus been taken into account. Costs for internally manufactured semi-finished and finished goods consist of direct production costs plus a reasonable surcharge for indirect production costs.

Receivables

Receivables are recognized at the amount expected to be collected, based upon individual assessment.

Tax recognitions

The Group's total tax comprises current tax and deferred tax. Deferred tax pertains to tax on temporary differences and loss carryforwards. Within the Group, deferred tax is calculated on untaxed reserves, loss carryforwards and internal profits. Current tax is calculated as the taxable surplus, including any adjustments for tax paid in previous years. Deferred tax assets pertaining to loss carryforwards are recognized only if it is likely that future profits will arise that will entail lower tax in the future.

Financial instruments

Financial instruments include both assets and liabilities. Securities holdings and other receivables, accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents are recognized as assets. Financial liabilities include convertible debentures, accounts payable and other financial liabilities.

Financial assets

Financial assets are recognized in the balance sheet when the company becomes party to the agreement, and are removed when the agreement expires or the company loses control over the assets. Market-listed shares are measured at market value, and value changes are recognized in profit and loss. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of surplus liquidity are measured on a continuous basis at amortized cost and value changes are recognized in profit and loss. Loan receivables and accounts receivable are recognized at amortized cost. A provision for doubtful receivables is posted when there is proof that the Group will not receive payment in accordance with the original terms of the receivable.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet when the invoice is received or when the company in another manner becomes party to the contractual obligations. A financial liability is derecognized from the balance sheet when the obligation specified is discharged and all liability expires. Loan debts are initially recognized at nominal value after subtracting transaction costs. The liabilities are continuously measured at amortized cost after adjustments for any surplus/deficit, with interest accrued over the term of the loan. Interest expenses are recognized directly in profit and loss. Convertible debentures are recognized as combined financial instruments divided into a liability and an equity portion in so far as the interest paid on the convertible is not adjusted to market terms. If so, the liability portion is recognized at fair value , discounting future cash flows at the market interest rate. The equity portion is calculated as the difference between the nominal value and the fair value of the loan. The interest paid on convertible loans on the balance-sheet date is considered market-based, which is why the convertible loan is recognized in its entirety as a liability.

Provisions

A provision is recognized on the balance sheet when the Group has an existing legal or informal obligation due to a past event and an outflow of economic resources may be required to regulate the obligation and a reliable estimation of the amount can be made.

Derivative instruments

Derivative instruments in the form of futures contracts are used within the Group to reduce risks associated with changes in exchange rates. There were no currency forwards or derivative instruments within the Sectra Group on the balance-sheet date.

Fair value

The method for calculating the fair value of financial assets and liabilities is based on three measurement levels. At measurement level one, fair value is calculated based on quoted market prices and instruments traded in an active market. At measurement level two, quoted market prices are not available, but variables for the calculation of fair value are obtained from market quotations. At measurement level three, fair value is calculated based on data that is not available in the market. The Group's financial assets and liabilities mainly belong to measurement level two.

Notes

Note 1 Operating segments

The division of operating segments was determined based on the internal reporting to the Board of Directors and the company's executive management. Information regarding the company's operational segments and geographic areas was used to evaluate sales and earnings in the Group and to allocate the Group's resources among various segments. The identified operational divisions are Medical Systems and Secure Communications. Regarding the geographic distribution, the basis for distribution is the customer's billing address. As of the 2012/2013 fiscal year, the UK will be recognized separately, since sales in that region now represent more than 10% of total net sales.

Medical Systems develops and sells IT systems, services and medical equipment. The largest product area in the segment is IT solutions for processing

and archiving radiology images and patient information. Development is primarily carried out in Sweden, and sales are conducted through Sectra's own sales company and through external distributors.

Secure Communications develops and sells products for secure communications. The segment is divided into two product divisions: Tiger, which offers products for secure voice and data communications, and Crypto, which develops customized systems and products. Development and production occur in Sweden, and sales are conducted through Sectra's sales organization in Sweden and the Netherlands.

Preparation and decision-making process

The Board fee was decided at the Annual General Meeting in accordance with the proposal of the Nomination Committee. Guidelines for remuneration to the President and other senior executives are determined at the Annual General Meeting. Remuneration to the President/CEO was considered by the Remuneration Committee and decided by the Board of directors. The President/CEO considered and decided on the remuneration to the other senior executives.

Remuneration to the Board of Directors

Fees are paid to the Board Chairman and other external members in accordance with the decision of the Annual General Meeting. Internal Board members are not paid a fee. SEK 150,000 was paid in fees to external Board members in 2012/2013 and SEK 300,000 to the Chairman. For Audit Committee work, SEK 20,000 was paid to external Board members and SEK 40,000 to the Chairman of the Audit Committee. No separate fee is paid for Remuneration Committee work. Other remuneration pertains to consultant services for assignments in which a Board member has special competence.

Remuneration to the President and other senior executives Remuneration to the President/CEO and other senior executives is based on market terms and comprises basic salary, variable salary, other benefits and pension. The fixed salary is determined taking into account competence, areas of responsibility and performance. The variable salary is performance-based and maximized to a percentage of the fixed annual salary, which is a maximum of 50%. "Other senior executives" refers to the seven individuals who, together with the President/CEO, comprised Group management during the fiscal year.

Terms of notice and severance pay

The company must give the President/CEO 18 months' notice of termination. The President/CEO must give the company six months' notice of resignation. The notice periods for other senior executives range from three to 12 months on the part of the company, and from three to six months on the part of the executives. There are no special agreements regarding severance pay.

Pension

The retirement age for the President and other senior executives is 65 years. Pension benefits for the President and other senior executives are paid within the framework of the pension plan that applies to all employees, and which comprises defined-contribution and vested pensions.

Share-based remuneration

Convertibles and stock option programs enable employees and external board members to acquire shares in the company. The fair value of the allocated convertibles and options is recognized as a personnel cost with a corresponding increase in shareholders' equity.

1 Capitalized development pertains to internally generated intangible assets in proprietary software and equipment for medical imaging management and secure communications. Earlier major projects in capitalized development pertained to systems for digital mammography in discontinued operations. The remaining amortization period on larger

projects is five years. The largest remaining project pertains to the development of IT systems in Medical Systems.

2 Patents mainly pertain to assets in the mammography operations from the acquisition of Sectra Mamea AB.

3 Customer relations are attributable to the Medical Systems segment and pertain to acquired assets from Sectra Sverige AB (formerly Radisoft AB), Sectra imaXperts BV and Burnbank Systems Ltd.

4 Brand pertains to acquired assets from Sectra Sverige AB and Burnbank Systems Ltd

5 Impairments pertained to a minor mammography subproject in the Medical Systems segment. Impairment losses were recognized in 2009 due to the discontinuation of the subproject.

6 Of the acquisition value at April 30, 2013, 18.4% (10.6) pertains to ongoing development projects and 81.6% (89.4) completed projects. 7 Goodwill is attributable to the acquisition of Burnbank, refer to Note 13.

Testing of intangible assets for impairment requirements

Intangible assets are tested for impairment requirements when necessary and at least once annually. Impairment testing is based on the calculation of the future value in use. The value of the Group's intangible fixed assets is assessed based on the value in use of the cash-generating development projects and acquired companies. The value in use is based on the cash flows expected to be generated from the assets.

The forecasted future cash flows used in the calculation of each unit's value in use are based on a detailed review of each development project. In relation to goodwill, future cash flows are based on expected synergy effects in the form of growth opportunities for Medical System's sales in the UK market. The present value of the forecast future cash flows for all development projects is calculated using a cost of capital of 10% (10) before tax. When estimating cash flows connected to goodwill, a cost of capital of 10% (-) before tax has been used. The cost of capital is based on a market-based assessment of average capital cost taking into consideration the assessed risk level in the cash flows of the units.

The forecast period when calculating value in use is determined by the asset's useful life, between five to seven years, and the assumed average growth of 12-15% (12). The forecast period in connection with calculating goodwill has been set at five years. Assessment of the growth rate is based on the market trend and the growth goals of the business areas.

Other assumptions regarding required returns:

Ten-year treasury bill or an equivalent
financial investment with the lowest
The beta value is calculated at one
Sectra's assessed cost for borrowing

Sensitivity analysis

Impairment testing has been carried out with a sufficient margin to ensure that management deems that any reasonable changes in the individual variables will not cause the value in use to be less than the carrying amount. According to the analysis, a decline in the forecasted future cash flows of up to 30% per development project or goodwill item would not give rise to any indication of a need for impairment. Accordingly, management's assessment is that no impairment requirement will arise, regardless of whether variations occur in the most critical variables.

Parent Company

The Parent Company held no intangible assets at April 30, 2013.

Note 13 Acquisition of Burnbank

On June 6, 2012, the Sectra Group acquired 100% of the shares in Burnbank Systems Limited, which markets IT services to the healthcare sector in the UK. The acquisition is part of Sectra's programme to expand its medical systems operations in the UK market. The acquisition comprises the three companies Burnbank Systems Limited, Burnbank Healthsystems Limited and Burnbank Dataconnect Limited. The company has a total of 25 employees and posted sales of GBP 2.4 million (about SEK 26 million) and an operating margin of 25% for the 2011 fiscal year.

The total consideration transferred totaled SEK 77.3 million, of which SEK 55.0 million comprises a cash purchase consideration and SEK 22.3 million pertains to the conditional purchase consideration recognized as a Group provision at the date of the acquisition. Estimates of the fair value of the contingent purchase consideration are based on the likelihood of the stipulated targets for growth and earnings until May 31, 2015 being realized. The acquisition was financed in its entirety from existing funds.

1 The negative change in the Goodwill item of SEK 26.9 million since the date of the acquisition pertains to the allocation of the purchase consideration in the amount of a negative SEK 15.7 million and the recalculation of the contingent additional purchase consideration in the negative amount of SEK 11.2 million. The contingent purchase consideration was recalculated due to new information on the fair value at the date of acquisition. The change in the Goodwill item in the balance sheet since April 30, 2012, totaled SEK 46.1 million, of

which SEK 50.9 million pertained to the acquisition of Burnbank and a negative amount of SEK 4.7 million pertained to changed exchange rates.

2 Excluding acquisition-related expenses of SEK 0.7 million

Goodwill that arose in conjunction with the acquisition is attributable to expected growth opportunities for sales in the UK market for Medical Systems and to the experience and competence of the employees.

The operations are included in the Sectra Group as of June 6, 2012, when Sectra obtained controlling influence over the acquired units. In the period, the acquired operations were included in the Sectra Group's reporting with sales of SEK 27.9 million and operating profit of SEK 6.4 million. Sales and operating profit in the acquired business from May 1 through June 6, 2012 is not reported since these cannot be determined without considerable difficulty. Acquisition-related expenses amounted to SEK 0.7 million and were recognized under other external costs in the consolidated income statement.

In June 2011, Sectra and Royal Philips Electronics signed an agreement entailing that Philips would acquire Sectra's operations for development and sales of the mammography modality Sectra MicroDose Mammography. Philips took over the operations in conjunction with the finalization of the transaction on August 31, 2011. The operation includes the company Sectra Mamea AB and related operations in Sectra's global sales and service organization, excluding Australia and New Zealand, where Sectra continues to sell MicroDose Mammography through a separate distribution agreement with Philips. The operation has approximately 110 employees. Operations that were conducted in Sectra Mamea AB are reported as operations being discontinued.

The cash purchase consideration, on a debt-free basis, amounted to EUR 57.5 million, including the sale of assets attributable to the discontinuation of the MicroDose business. The agreement includes an additional purchase consideration of EUR 12.5 million, which will fall due in five years if specific agreement conditions are fulfilled. In the fiscal year 2011/2012, excluding a possible additional purchase price, the transaction generated a capital gain for Sectra of SEK 322.6 million after tax, based on carrying amounts.

Note 29 Important estimates and judgments

At year-end, certain judgments are made in regard to the application of accounting policies that affect the values reported on the reporting date. These estimates for reporting purposes may deviate from the actual outcome. The following estimates may involve a risk of changes in the values reported.

Impairment requirements relating to intangible assets including goodwill are assessed on an ongoing basis, based on the calculated recoverable amount per cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount is based on the unit's value in use, which consists of calculated future cash flows during its useful life. The calculations are based on budgeted long-term targets and anticipated growth. Group synergy effects were taken into consideration when calculating cash flow associated with goodwill. In the calculations, a discount rate of 10% is applied and growth is set at a level consistent with the market trend and the growth goals of the business areas.

Note 30 Financial assets and liabilities

Note 27 Cash flow Note 28 Related parties

The Group's related parties comprise Group management and the Board of Directors, as well as other key persons in senior positions. The Group has no transactions with related parties, apart from what is stated in Note 2.

The useful life of intangible assets excluding goodwill is based on the average life of the asset. Amortizations of intangible assets are based on the assumed useful life per asset, which can have major significance for the Group's results and financial position.

Obligations for guarantees arise upon the delivery of a system that normally involves a guarantee period of 12 months. Assessment of future guarantee costs is based on individual projects and prior experience. Deviations between the actual guarantee cost and the provisions occur for individual projects, but at Group level these deviations are limited.

Revaluation of accounts receivable recognized in profit and loss amounted to SEK 2,973 thousand (5,212). No gains or losses were recognized in any of the other categories.

Calculation of fair value

The following methods were used to calculate fair value:

  • Securities holdings that are available for sale are included in measurement level two, meaning that the calculation of fair value is based on market quotations or the calculation of future cash flows for which variables are obtained from market quotations whenever possible. The holding that can be sold amounts to SEK 4,204 thousand (3,639).
  • For cash and cash equivalents and other receivables and liabilities with shorter lifetimes, the carrying amount is considered to correspond to the fair value. In the case of receivables or liabilities whose lifetime exceeds one year, the carrying amount has been discounted and corresponds to fair value.

• Long-term financial liabilities pertain to convertible debentures and the time to expiration is 1-4 years. Other financial liabilities have a time to expiration of less than 1 year.

Note 31 Risks, risk management and sensitivity analysis

Risks related to operations

Sectra's risks related to operations are limited. As a general rule, customers' operations are financed directly or indirectly with public funds and solvency is excellent, although payment practices vary between different countries. Due to the fact that Sectra is active in a large number of markets, the political and market risks, for example, for the Group as a whole are limited. The largest individual risks related to operations are described below.

Customers and partners

Sectra's five largest partners and customers jointly account for 21.8% (21.4) of Group sales. Although sales to each customer are often divided among a number of agreements, the proportion of long operating agreements has increased and , therefore, the loss of a major customer could have a significant effect on the Group's long-term earnings and financial position. Due to the continuous expansion of operations, the proportion of the Group's business volume represented by each individual partner and customer is gradually declining.

Product liability and property risks

Through its operations, Sectra assumes product liability, which means that personal injury or damage to property caused by the company's systems at the premises of a customer or third party could lead to a claim being made against Sectra. Insurance policies have been taken out for the property and liability risks to which the Group is exposed.

Intellectual property rights

Sectra is among the leaders in the areas in which the Group operates and invests substantial resources in product development. To ensure a return on these investments, Sectra works continuously to analyze the requirements for different products in terms of intellectual property rights, and to identify and protect inventions through patents.

Other business risks

The prices for medical systems in the world market are largely governed by major international companies. Accordingly, the USD and EUR exchange rates have an effect on the price structure and competitiveness. Other business risks, such as market risks, suppliers, technical development, dependence on individual persons and ethical risks are analyzed continuously. Measures are taken as needed to reduce the Group's risk exposure.

Financial risks

The Sectra Group is exposed to financial risks pertaining to currency, interest, financing and liquidity risks. Rules and authority for management of financial transactions and risks are described in the Group's finance policy, which is determined by the Board. Responsibility for management of financial transactions and risks is centralized to the Parent Company's finance department. The aim is to support the Group's business activities by identifying and limiting the Group's financial risks, providing cost-efficient financing of Group companies and managing cash and cash equivalents on market terms.

Currency exchange risks

Exchange rate exposure within the Sectra Group occurs primarily via transactions in foreign currencies, in the form of customer and supplier payments and to a lesser extent, in translating foreign subsidiaries' income statements and balance sheets. In accordance with the Group's finance policy, subsidiary financing shall be in the local currency and currency exposure pertains mainly to USD, GBP and EUR. Currency changes had a negative impact of SEK 2,419 thousand (pos: 1,768) and SEK 4,660 thousand (pos: 7,502) on consolidated financial items.

The Group's policy at present is not to hedge transaction exposure, since the potential gains to be derived from building up procedures to efficiently manage hedge contracts are not considered significant. Sectra monitors payment flows in foreign currencies on an ongoing basis, and hedging of transaction exposure may be implemented if the gains expected to be derived from exchange rate hedge contracts are deemed to be significant.

Currency Revenues Expenses Net exposure
MSEK

Interest-rate risks

Interest-rate risks pertain to the impact of changes in market interest rates on earnings. The Group's interest-bearing assets are mainly short-term in nature, and pertain to securities that can be liquidated at short notice in the event of major changes in the general interest rate situation. At the closing date, the Group's interest-bearing assets exceed interest-bearing liabilities, as a result of which a decline in interest rates has an adverse impact on the Group and an increase has a positive effect.

Credit risks

The Group's credit risks can be divided into risks related to the customer's ability to pay as agreed and counterparty risks in conjunction with financial transactions.

Customer credit risk means that the customer fails to fulfill its undertaking for payment of customer invoices. The Group has set guidelines to ensure that customers have high creditworthiness. Sectra's customers consist largely of government agencies and other highly reputable customers with high creditworthiness, and whose credit risk is considered to be extremely low. To minimize customer credit risks in fixed-price projects, Sectra works to a large extent with part payments in advance.

Age analysis accounts receivable

MSEK April 30, 2013 April 30, 2012
Accounts receivable not due for payment 99.6 161.1
Accounts receivable overdue 0–60 days 51.8 38.6
Accounts receivable overdue 60 days 15.5 9.3
Accounts receivable overdue 120 days 22.1 32.3
Total 189.0 241.3

Reserves amounted to SEK 9.0 million (9.7) within the group of accounts receivable overdue more than 120 days.

Counterparty risks arise in financial transactions and cash management in conjunction with the Group having claims on banks and other securities issuers. The maximum credit exposure and credit rating for approved counterparties is described in the Group's finance policy. To minimize credit risks, Sectra only uses counterparties with high creditworthiness and invests in instruments with high quality.

Liquidity risks

To minimize liquidity risks, excess liquidity is placed only in bank deposits, or in securities that can be liquidated at short notice, and which have a smoothly functioning secondary market. Unutilized bank overdraft facilities are used in the event of temporarily elevated liquidity needs. The Parent Company monitors the Group's liquidity continually by compiling liquidity forecasts as a basis for investments or short- and long-term borrowing.

At the closing date, the Group's unutilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 15,000 thousand.

Convertible loans 2010/2014, SEK 6,091 thousand, are payable in June 2014 and carry floating rates, Stibor +2.25%. Convertible loans 2011/2015, SEK 8,968 thousand, and 2011/2016, SEK 2,200 thousand, are payable in June 2015 and 2016 respectively, and carry a variable interest rate, Stibor +2.25%. Convertible loans 2012/2016, SEK 6,773 thousand, and 2012/2017, SEK 2,471 thousand, are payable in June 2016 and 2017 respectively, and carry a variable interest rate, Stibor +2.25%. Other loans carry floating rates, which varied between 3 and 5% during the fiscal year. Financial leasing contracts and convertibles have terms of zero to four years. Refer to Notes 2 and 23 for further information about convertibles issued.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group's earnings depend mainly on product sales and the cost of personnel and materials. The analysis below is based on the figures from the 2012/2013 fiscal year and how the variables named would have affected profit/loss after net financial income/expense if no measures such as hedging or adaptation of resources had been taken. Each variable is treated individually, provided the others remain unchanged. The analysis is not claimed to be precise, but is merely indicative.

Effect on earnings
Variable Change after financial items
Net sales +/- 1% +/- 6.5 MSEK
Cost of materials +/- 1% +/- 1.3 MSEK
Personnel costs +/- 1% +/- 4.2 MSEK
Interest rate level +/- 1% +/- 5.7 MSEK
Exchange-rate changes
USD exchange rate +/- 1% +/- 0.9 MSEK
EUR exchange rate +/- 1% +/- 1.1 MSEK
GBP exchange rate +/- 1% +/- 1.0 MSEK

In the event that the SEK weakens by 1% against the USD, GBP or EUR, profit after net financial items would improve by SEK 3.0 million

The Group's financial goals have been determined by the Board. The goal is to have a favorable and flexible capital structure so that it can be changed if the conditions for operations or for different borrowing alternatives change and maintain financial stability. The Group's equity ratio goal is 30%.

The Group's capital is defined as total shareholders' equity less any positive unrealized value changes and amounted to SEK 665,300 thousand (787,392) at April 30, 2013. The Group's equity ratio at the closing date was 61.4% (69.4). Sectra's operations have large seasonal variations during the operating year and, accordingly, it is the Board's ambition to retain a sound capital structure with a low debt/equity ratio.

Note 33 Board's statement concerning repurchase and transfer the company's own shares

The Board of Directors' reasons for the authorization to repurchase and transfer the company's own Class B shares are in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 17, Section 3, paragraph 2 and 3 of the Swedish Companies Act.

The company's objects, scope, and risks

The company's objects and scope of business are specified in the Articles of Association and the Annual Reports provided. The business conducted by the company does not entail any risks in excess of those that exist or may be deemed to exist in the industry or those risks that are generally associated with operating a business.

The financial position of the company and the Group

The financial position of the company and the Group at April 30, 2013 is stated in the latest Annual Report. The Annual Report also states which accounting policies are applied in the measurement of assets, allocations and liabilities. The non-restricted equity in the Parent Company and the Group's retained profits amounted to SEK 256.3 million and SEK 341.0 million, respectively, at the end of the 2012/2013 fiscal year.

The Annual Report states that the debt/equity ratio is 61.4%. The proposed authorization to purchase and transfer the company's own Class B shares does not endanger the completion of any necessary investments.

The company's financial position does not give rise to any other conclusion than that the company can continue its business and that the company can be expected to fulfill its obligations on both a short- and long-term basis.

In the opinion of the Board of Directors, the amount of shareholders' equity as reported in the most recent Annual Report is in reasonable proportion to the scope of the company's operations and the risks associated with conducting operations in consideration of the now proposed and the authorization to repurchase the company's own Class B shares.

Justification for dividend and repurchase

With reference to the above and to what has otherwise come to the knowledge of the Board of Directors, the Board is of the opinion that, after a comprehensive review of the financial position of the company and of the Group, it follows that the proposed authorization to repurchase and transfer the company's own Class B shares is justified according to the provisions of Chapter 17, Section 3, paragraph 2 and 3 of the Swedish Companies Act, that is, with reference to the requirements that the objects of the business, its scope and the risks placed on the size of the company's and Group's equity and the company's and the Group's consolidating requirements, liquidity and financing needs in general.

Auditor's report

To the annual meeting of the shareholders of Sectra AB (publ), corporate identity number 556064-8304

Report on the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

We have audited the annual accounts and consolidated accounts of Sectra AB (publ) for the financial year 2012-05-01 – 2013-04-30. The annual accounts and consolidated accounts of the company are included in the printed version of this document on pages 27–49.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the annual accounts and consolidated accounts

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these annual accounts and consolidated accounts in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and the Managing Director determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts and consolidated accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these annual accounts and consolidated accounts based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts. The procedures selected depend on

the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company's preparation and fair presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

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

Opinions

In our opinion, the annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the parent company as of April 30, 2013 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act, and the consolidated accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the group as of April 30, 2013 and of their financial performance and cash flows in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the EU, and the Annual Accounts Act. The statutory administration report is consistent with the other parts of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts.

We therefore recommend that the annual meeting of shareholders adopt the income statement and balance sheet for the parent company and the group.

Report on other legal and regulatory requirements

In addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we have also audited the proposed appropriations of the company's profit and the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of Sectra AB (publ) for the financial year 2012-05-01 – 2013-04-30.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director

The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposal for appropriations of the company's profit or loss, and the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for administration under the Companies Act.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion with reasonable assurance on the proposed appropriations of the company's profit or loss and on the administration based on our audit. We conducted the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden.

As a basis for our opinion on the Board of Directors' proposed appropriations of the company's profit we examined whether the proposal is in accordance with the Companies Act.

As a basis for our opinion concerning discharge from liability, in addition to our audit of the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, we examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to determine whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director is liable to the company. We also examined whether any member of the Board of Directors or the Managing Director has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Companies Act, the Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association.

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

Opinions

We recommend to the annual meeting of shareholders that the profit be appropriated in accordance with the proposal in the statutory administration report and that the members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the financial year.

Five-year summary

2012/2013 Focus on growth opportunities

Efforts to strengthen Sectra's position in markets where the company is already established continued, including the UK market, in which the medical IT services company Burnbank was acquired. Order bookings rose 30% due to successful sales in such countries as Sweden, the UK and the Netherlands. Sectra holds a strong financial position and posted a favorable cash flow. The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that SEK 166.9 M be transferred to the shareholders through a redemption program.

2011/2012 Sectra's largest structural transaction

Sectra divested the operation for low-dose mammography. The capital gain was SEK 322 M and the structural transaction had an exceedingly positive impact on profitability and cash flow. Through redemption programs, Sectra distributed SEK 184 M to shareholders in autumn 2011 (attributable to distributable profits in 2010/2011) and an additional SEK 185 M for the year after decision by the Annual General Meeting. Order bookings rose 11% due to successful sales in northern Europe, but the weak economic situation led to slower growth in many countries. Higher interest income and positive exchange-rate differences contributed to the higher profit margin.

2010/2011 Deliveries commence with new-generation IT system for medical imaging

Sectra's sales rose nearly 4%, despite slower market growth due to the economic situation in Europe and the US. Very few major transactions were implemented, which contributed to lower order bookings. A development project for a new-generation IT system for medical imaging management was completed, which led to increased depreciation/amortization. Earnings were negatively impacted by the stronger SEK, and currency fluctuations had a negative effect of SEK 18 M on the net financial items. Net earnings for the year were impacted by major investments in the lowdose mammography product.

2009/2010 Product development for greater efficiency

Previously, Sectra had been relatively immune to the strained economic situation in the US and Europe but this fiscal year growth was affected by slowed demand. Major investments were made in the product development of a new-generation IT system for medical imaging management (PACS). The SEK was strengthened and currency fluctuations had a negative impact of SEK 9 M on net financial items. Net earnings for the year were impacted by major investments in the low-dose mammography product.

2008/2009 Major region-wide customer project strengthens order bookings

Several major transactions with Medical System customers contributed to order bookings of more than SEK 1 billion. For example, Sectra received an order valued at SEK 360 M for a regionwide IT system for medical imaging management for Northern Ireland's entire public healthcare system. The USD and EUR strengthened against the SEK and currency fluctuations had a positive impact of SEK 41 M on net financial items. However, net earnings for the year were impacted by major investments in the low-dose mammography product.
