INFORMATION DOCUMENT

(a Norwegian private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway)
Admission to trading of outstanding shares on Euronext Growth
This Information Document (the "Information Document") has been prepared by Ørn Software Holding AS (the "Company" or "Ørn", and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Group") solely for use in connection with the admission to trading (the "Admission") of all issued shares of the Company on Euronext Growth.
As of the date of this Information Document, the Company's registered share capital is NOK 8,594,296.80, divided into 85,942,968 shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.10 (the "Shares"). The Shares have been approved for admission to trading on the Euronext Growth and it is expected that the Shares will start trading on or about 29 March 2021 under the ticker code "ORN". The Shares are, and will continue to be, registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Registry (the "VPS") in bookentry form. All of the issued Shares rank pari passu with one another and each Share carries one vote.
Euronext Growth is a market operated by Euronext. Companies on Euronext Growth, a multilateral trading facility (MTF), are not subject to the same rules as companies on a Regulated Market (a main market). Instead they are subject to a less extensive set of rules and regulations adjusted to small growth companies. The risk in investing in a company on Euronext Growth may therefore be higher than investing in a company on a Regulated Market. Investors should take this into account when making investment decisions.
The present Information Document does not constitute a prospectus within the meaning of Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 June 2017 on the prospectus to be published when securities are offered to the public or admitted to trading on a regulated market, and repealing Directive 2003/71. THIS INFORMATION DOCUMENT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO BUY, SUBSCRIBE OR SELL ANY OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN, AND NO SECURITIES ARE BEING OFFERED OR SOLD PURSUANT THERETO.
The present Information Document has been drawn up under the responsibility of the Company (as issuer). It has been reviewed by the Euronext Growth Advisors and has been subject to an appropriate review of its completeness, consistency and comprehensibility by Euronext.
Investing in the Company involves material risks and uncertainties. Prospective investors should read the entire document and in particular Section 1 "Risk Factors" and Section 3.3 "Cautionary note regarding forward-looking statements" when considering an investment in the Company and its Shares.

INFORMATION TO DISTRIBUTORS
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended ("MiFID II"); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the "MiFID II Product Governance Requirements"), and disclaiming all and any liability, which any "manufacturer" (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that they each are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II (the "Positive Target Market"); and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the "Appropriate Channels for Distribution"). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Shares may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Shares offer no guaranteed income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Shares is compatible only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. Conversely, an investment in the Shares is not compatible with investors looking for full capital protection or full repayment of the amount invested or having no risk tolerance, or investors requiring a fully guaranteed income or fully predictable return profile (the "Negative Target Market", and, together with the Positive Target Market, the "Target Market Assessment").
For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Shares.
Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.
ENFORCEMENT OF CIVIL LIABILITIES
The Company is a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Norway. As a result, the rights of holders of the Shares will be governed by Norwegian law and the Company's articles of association (the "Articles of Association"). The rights of shareholders under Norwegian law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions.
The members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board Members" and the "Board of Directors", respectively) and the members of the Group's senior management (the "Management") are not residents of the United States of America (the "United States"), and the Company's assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be very difficult for investors in the United States to effect service of process on the Company, the Board Members and members of Management in the United States or to enforce judgments obtained in U.S. courts against the Company or those persons, whether predicated upon civil liability provisions of federal securities laws or other laws of the United Stated (including any State or territory within the United States).
The United States and Norway do not currently have a treaty providing for reciprocal recognition and enforcement of judgements (other than arbitral awards) in civil and commercial matters. Uncertainty exists as to whether courts in Norway will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the United States, against the Company or its Board Members or members of Management under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Norway against the Company or its Board Members or members of Management under the securities laws of other jurisdictions. In addition, awards of punitive damages in actions brought in the United States or elsewhere may not be enforceable in Norway.
Similar restrictions may apply in other jurisdictions.

1 RISK FACTORS
Investing in the Shares involves inherent risks. Investors should consider all of the information set forth in this Information Document, and in particular, the risk factors and the selected financial information included in Section 7 "Selected financial information and other information" set out below. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford a loss of all or part of their investment. The absence of negative past experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties described herein should not be considered prior to making an investment decision.
If any of the risks were to materialize, individually or together with other circumstances, it could have a material and adverse effect on the Group and/or its business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value of the Shares that could result in a loss of all or part of any investment in the Shares. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks faced by the Group. Additional risks and uncertainties that the Group currently believes are immaterial, or that are currently not known to the Group, may also have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. The order in which the risks are presented below is not intended to provide an indication of the likelihood of their occurrence nor of their severity or significance.
1.1 Risks relating to the Group and the industry in which it operates
1.1.1 The Group depends highly on existing customers renewing their subscriptions
The Group operates in markets with fluctuating user satisfaction and demand for products and/or services. The Group's business operations depend highly on renewed subscription by its existing customer base. The demand for the Group's services is affected by a number of factors, including awareness of technologies, availability of competing or substitute products and/or services, ease of adoption and use, features, experience and reliability of the Group's services.
The Group's renewal rates may decline or fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, including customers' satisfaction with subscription service, professional services, customer support, prices and contract length and the prices of competing solutions.
Any inability to retain and develop the Group's customer base may result in a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.1.2 The Group expects to grow in size, and might experience difficulties in achieving growth and managing growth
As the Group's development and commercialization plans and strategies for its new solutions and products continue to develop, it expects it will need additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial and other resources. However, there can be no assurance that the Group will actually be successful in achieving and realizing its development and commercialization plans, and the expected growth. If and when the Group's operations expand, it expects to enter into additional relationships with various suppliers and other third parties. The Group's business, results of operations and financial position and the development and commercialization of its new solutions and products will depend, in part, on its ability to manage future growth effectively.
As a result, the Group must manage its development efforts effectively and hire, train and integrate additional personnel as required. To the extent that the Group is unable to accomplish these tasks, it could be prevented from successfully managing its business, which could have a materially adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.1.3 The Group has engaged in acquisitions that may not be successful, and may, in the future engage in transactions that will not have the desired effects
The Group has recently completed acquisitions of Entro IT AS, MainManager ehf. and Facility Management AS and may also engage in acquisitions in the future. The Group may not be able to complete future transactions on terms that it finds commercially acceptable, or at all. The inability to engage in or to complete such transactions may adversely affect the Group's competitiveness and growth prospects, and may also divert the attention of the Management and cause the Group to incur various expenses in identifying, investigating and pursuing suitable acquisitions, whether or not they are consummated.
The Group's future growth and performance will partly depend on the ability to manage growth effectively, including but not limited to, the ability to complete successful integration of acquisitions. There is no guarantee that integration of acquired companies will not encounter difficulties whereby the contemplated effects will not be achieved. If Ørn acquires a company, it may have difficulties in integrating, inter alia, that company's personnel, operations, technology and financial set-up. In addition, key personnel of the acquired company may decide to resign instead of working for the Group. These difficulties could disrupt the ongoing business, distract the Group's management and employees and increase its expenses.
Furthermore, the acquisition of companies and their integration into the Group may not be as economically successful as expected or the management of such acquired companies may not be immediately embedded in the organizational structure of the Group.
Each of these factors may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.1.4 The Group is dependent on attracting and retaining key personnel
The Group's success depends, to a significant extent, on the continued services of the individual members of its management team, in particular its CEO, the CFO and the CPO who have an extensive overview of and competence and knowledge of the Group's operations and product offering, as well as its ability to attract and retain skilled professionals with appropriate experience and expertise. Further, the Group may be exposed to increased competition within its markets if key personnel should elect to terminate their employment with the Group as the employment agreements of the Group's key personnel only to a limited extent include noncompete provisions.
The Group's ability to continue to identify and develop opportunities depends on the Management's knowledge of, and expertise in, the industry in and such local jurisdictions and on their external business relationships, and the Group's business is dependent on skilled technical and other personnel to develop, operate, sell and provide technical services and support for its business.
Failure to attract or retain Management and key employees could result in an inability to properly manage the Group and to maintain the appropriate technological or business improvements. It can also lead to an inability to take advantage of new opportunities that might arise or an increase in direct competition towards the Group, which might in turn lead to a subsequent decline in competitiveness that could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.1.5 Failure to adequately expand the Group's sales personnel will impede growth
The Group will need to continue to expand and optimize its sales infrastructure in order to grow its customer base and business. Identifying and recruiting qualified personnel and training them requires significant time, expense and attention. The Group's business may be adversely affected if its efforts to expand and train its sales personnel do not generate a corresponding increase in revenues. In particular, if the Group is unable to hire, develop and retain talented sales personnel or if new sales personnel are unable to achieve desired productivity levels in a reasonable period of time, the Group may not be able to realize the expected benefits of this investment or increase its revenues.
1.1.6 Failure to offer high-quality technical support may adversely affect the Group's relationships with its customers
The Group's customers depend on Ørn's support organization to resolve technical issues relating to the Group's solutions and services. The Group may not be able to provide sufficient support to its customers or to provide such support in a timely manner. Increased customer demand for these services, without corresponding increases in revenues, may increase costs and adversely affect the Group's operating results. Further, any failure to maintain high-quality technical support, may adversely affect the Group's reputation, its ability to sell its solutions and services to existing and prospective customers and may ultimately also affect the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects in a materially adverse manner.
1.1.7 The Group relies on information technology systems to conduct its business, and disruption, failure or security breaches of these systems could adversely affect its business and results of operations
The Group relies heavily on information technology ("IT") systems in order to achieve its business objectives. The Group relies upon industry accepted security measures and technology such as access control systems to securely maintain confidential and proprietary information maintained on its IT systems, and market standard virus control systems. However, as a tech company, the Group is constantly exposed to external threats associated with data security and is under constant pressure from different external players. There is a risk of virus attacks, attempts at hacking, social manipulation and phishing scams, as well as theft of intellectual property or sensitive information belonging to the Group or its business partners. Further, the Group's portfolio of hardware and software products, solutions and services and its enterprise IT systems may be vulnerable to damage or disruption caused by circumstances beyond its control, such as catastrophic events, power outages, natural disasters, computer system or network failures, cyber-attacks or other malicious software programmes.
The failure or disruption of the Group's IT systems to perform as anticipated for any reason could disrupt the Group's business and result in decreased performance, significant remediation costs, transaction errors, loss of data, processing inefficiencies, downtime, litigation, indemnity obligations being triggered, and the loss of suppliers or customers. A significant disruption or failure could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.1.8 The Group is exposed to risk relating to system failures, defects or errors
The Group's platform and services are based on inherently complex software technology, technology, which may have real or perceived defects, errors, failures, vulnerabilities, or bugs in the platform and the Group's products could result in negative publicity or lead to data security, access, retention or other performance issues. Any significant disruption, system failure, bugs, errors or defects could compromise the Group's ability to delivery contractual services and/or increased costs and result in the loss of customers, curtailed operations and the Group's reputation, any of which could have a materially adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects.
1.1.9 The Group relies on the availability of licenses to third-party software and other intellectual property
The Group's solutions and products include software or other intellectual property licensed from third parties, and the Group also uses software and other intellectual property licensed from third parties in the development of these solutions and products.
The inability to obtain or maintain certain licenses or other rights or the need to engage in litigation regarding these matters, could result in delays in the release of solutions and products and could otherwise disrupt the Group's business, until equivalent technology can be identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into the solutions and products.
1.1.10 The Group depends on protecting its proprietary technology and intellectual property rights
The success of the Group's business depends on its ability to protect and enforce trade secrets, trademarks, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights. In this respect, it should be noted that the Group has not yet registered the tradenames and trademarks for all of its products, and there can be no assurance that the Group will be successful in obtaining sufficient protection of these trademarks. Other than such trademarks not being registered, the Group will mainly be dependent on protecting its intellectual property rights through provisions in its commercial contracts and through confidentiality undertakings, and there is no guarantee that the Company will be able to provide sufficient protection through such agreements. The Group has an active M&A strategy, and will also be subject to the risk of unsatisfactory protection of intellectual property rights in any companies that the Group may acquire, including in relation to employment agreements with lacking or unsatisfactory protection of intellectual property rights. The Group is further dependent on retaining ownership to intellectual property rights developed by its employees. In order to protect intellectual property rights as set out above, the Group may be required to spend significant resources to monitor and protect these rights.
Failure to protect the Group's proprietary technology and property rights could lead to a competitive disadvantage and result in a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.1.11 The Group is exposed to risk relating to use of open source licensed software
The Group is exposed to general risk of relying on open source licensed software. While the Group may use Open Source Software subjected to "permissive" licenses, it may also use Open Source Software subjected to "copyleft licenses". While it currently ensures that such code is separated from proprietary code, should it fail to do so it may expose itself to situations violating those licensing conditions, and potentially infringing copyrights, which could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.1.12 The Group may not be able to provide successful and timely enhancements or keep pace with a significant step change in technological development
The Group operates in markets that are highly susceptible to enhancements of solutions and technological developments. As a result, the Group's future success and profitability will be dependent upon its ability to:
• Improve existing services and solutions;
- Provide new services and solutions;
- Address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers; and
- Anticipate major changes in technology and respond to technological developments on a timely basis.
If the Group is not successful in upgrading its existing systems and solutions, or the technical skill set of its employees, on a timely and cost-effective basis in response to technological developments or changes in industry standards, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's ability to retain existing customers and the ability to attract new customers, and ultimately also on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/or prospects.
1.1.13 The Group's insurance coverage may not protect it against all damages or business disruptions that may arise and the Group may not carry insurance coverage for all risks related to its business
The Group has insurance coverage for its operations, including liability claims for damages and business disruptions. The Group is of the opinion that its insurance coverage is sufficient to protect the Group against disruptions related to its operations and products, but there can be no assurance that all risks are covered by its policies. There is also a risk that any insurance coverage available may be insufficient to cover some or all losses associated with damage to its assets, loss of income or other costs. In particular, certain types of risk, such as related to cyber-crime, could be, or become in the future, uninsurable or not economically insurable. The Group could consequently incur significant losses or damage to its assets or business for which it may not be compensated fully or at all. Further, there can be no assurance the Group will be able to maintain its insurance at reasonable costs or sufficient amounts in order to protect its business from every risk of disruption. If any of these risks materialize, it may have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.2 Legal and regulatory risk
1.2.1 Changes in tax laws of any jurisdiction in which the Group operates, or any failure to comply with applicable tax legislation may have a material adverse effect for the Group
The Group is subject to prevailing tax legislation, treaties and regulations in every jurisdiction in which it is operating, and the interpretation and enforcement thereof. The Group's income tax expenses are based upon its interpretation of the tax laws in effect at the time that the expense is incurred. If applicable laws, treaties or regulations change, or if the Group's interpretation of the tax laws is at variance with the interpretation of the same tax laws by tax authorities, this could have a material adverse effect on the Group's business, results of operations or financial condition.
If any tax authority successfully challenges the Group's operational structure, intercompany pricing policies, the taxable presence of its subsidiaries in certain countries, or if taxing authorities do not agree with the Group's and/or any subsidiaries' assessment of the effects of applicable laws, treaties and regulations, or the Group loses a material tax dispute in any country, or any tax challenge of the Group's tax payments is successful, the Group's effective tax rate on its earnings could increase substantially and the Group's business, results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.
1.2.2 The Group is exposed to risk relating to data protection and data privacy regulations, licenses etc.
Through its operations, the Group receives, stores and processes certain personal information and other customer data. This makes the Group exposed to data protection and data privacy laws and regulations it must comply with, which all imposes stringent data protection requirements and may result in high possible penalties for noncompliance, in particular relating to storing, sharing, use, processing, disclosure and protection of personal information and other user data on its platforms. The main regulations applicable for the Group are the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and the local law implementations of GDPR in the EU member states that the Group operates in, including the Norwegian Data Protection Act of 15 June 2018 no. 38.
The Group is not fully compliant with the requirements of the GDPR in all respects, including with regards to implementing appropriate technical and organizational measures, entering into data processing agreements with customers, use of non-essential cookies and with regards to transfer of personal data to the United States (in connection with a CRM system). The Group is in an ongoing process to ensure compliance with GDPR in these respects. Any failure to comply with data protection and data privacy policies, privacy-related obligations to customers or third parties, privacy-related legal obligations, or any compromise of security that results in an unauthorized release, transfer or use of personally identifiable information or other customer data, may result in governmental enforcement, actions, litigation or public statements against the Group. Any such failure could cause the users of the Group's services to lose trust in the Group, and the Group may also consider itself required to terminate agreements with relevant suppliers on such grounds and replace them with more privacy friendly options. Further, the Group may lose existing customers and/ or potential customers due to non-compliance with data protection requirements.
If third parties violate applicable laws or its policies, such violations may also put users of the Group's services at risk and could in turn have an adverse effect on the Company's business. Any significant change to applicable laws, regulations or industry practices regarding the collection, use, retention, security or disclosure of users' personal data, or regarding the manner in which the express or implied consent of users for the collection, use, retention or disclosure of such personal data is obtained, could increase the Group's costs and require the Group to modify its services and features, possibly in a material manner, which the Group may be unable to complete and may limit its ability to store and process user data or develop new services and features.
1.3 Risks related to financing
1.3.1 The Group may require additional capital in the future, which may not be available on favorable terms, or at all
No assurance can be given that the Group will not require additional funds in order to execute its growth strategy, or for other purposes. Further, the Group has a history of operating losses, which may also imply that the Group will require additional funding in the future. Adequate sources of funds may not be available, or available at acceptable terms and conditions, when needed. If the Group raises additional funds by issuing additional equity securities, the existing shareholders may be significantly diluted. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Group may be unable to fund acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could materially and adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/or prospects. Such development could also have a material adverse effect on the value of the Shares.
1.3.2 The Group's existing or future debt arrangements could restrict and/ or limit the Group's liquidity and flexibility in obtaining additional financing, in pursuing other business opportunities or corporate activities or the Company's ability to declare dividends to its shareholders
As of 31 December 2020, the Group has had approximately NOK 116.5 million in long term debt. In addition, the Group may incur additional indebtedness in the future. This level of debt could have important consequences to the Group, including the following:
- The Group's ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other purposes may be impaired or such financing may be unavailable on favorable terms;
- Any prepayment (whether in relation to a refinancing or not) of the notes issued under the Notes Issue may impose significant fees from the Company to the noteholders under the Notes Issue;
- The Group's costs of borrowing could increase as it becomes more leveraged;
- The Group may need to use a substantial portion of its cash from operations to make principal and interest payments on its debt, reducing the funds that would otherwise be available for operations, future business opportunities and dividends to its shareholders;
- The Group's debt level could make it more vulnerable than its competitors with less debt to competitive pressures, a downturn in its business or the economy generally; and
- The Group's debt level may limit its flexibility in responding to changing business and economic conditions.
The Group's ability to service its future debt will depend upon, among other things, its future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions as well as financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond its control. If the Group's operating income is not sufficient to service its current or future indebtedness, the Group will be forced to take action such as reducing or delaying its business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, restructuring or refinancing its debt or seeking additional equity capital. The Group may not be able to affect any of these remedies on satisfactory terms, or at all.
1.3.3 Covenants in the Terms and Conditions and related security documents may restrict the Group's operations, and if the Group does not effectively manage its business to comply with these covenants, its financial position could be adversely impacted
The Group entered into the Terms and Conditions for the Notes Issue in November 2020, providing for a facility of up to SEK 500,000,000 (or its equivalent in EUR) senior secured notes. The Terms and Conditions contain various covenants, including, among other things, financial covenants, restrictions on the Company relating to payment of dividend, incurrence of additional indebtedness, further investments, etc. These covenants may restrict the Group's current and future operations, particularly its ability to respond to certain changes in its business or take future actions. Further, the Terms and Conditions requires the Company to observe certain financial covenants, including, among other things, a minimum ARR leverage, a minimum EBITDAC, a maximum leverage.
Pursuant to the Terms and Conditions, the Company and its subsidiaries have granted first priority share pledges over most of the companies in the Group, first priority security over any loans from the Company to Ørn Software AS, as well as security over Ørn Software AS's bank accounts, operating assets, inventory and customer receivables (factoring), in each case in favor of the noteholders. See Section 7.9 "Material borrowings" for additional information.
The Group's ability to comply with the covenants mentioned above can be impacted by events beyond its control and the Group may be unable to do comply with these. The Terms and Conditions and related security documents provide that the Group's breach or failure to satisfy certain covenants constitutes an event of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the noteholders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the Notes Issue to be immediately due and payable. In addition, the noteholders would have the right to enforce the assets that the Group has provided as collateral pursuant to the related security agreements. If the debt under its Note Issues was to be accelerated, the Group may not have sufficient cash on hand, or be able to refinance the loan or to sell sufficient collateral to repay it, which would have an immediate adverse effect on its business and operating results. This could potentially cause the Group to cease operations and result in a complete loss of an investment in the Shares.
1.3.4 The business of the Group faces liquidity risk that may have a material adverse impact on the Group
The Group's business faces liquidity risk, meaning that the Group could come into a situation where it does not have sufficient liquidity to cover its financial obligations, which may have a material adverse impact on the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.3.5 The Group is exposed to fluctuations in exchange rates
The Group operates in Sweden and Denmark, in addition to its operations in Norway. Further, the Group holds a credit facility (the Notes Issue) denominated in SEK. The Group is consequently exposed to fluctuations in exchanges rates between NOK, SEK and DKK, and any fluctuations between these currencies may materially and adversely affect the Group's business, results of operations, financial position, cash flows and/ or prospects.
1.4 Risks relating to the Shares
1.4.1 An active trading market for the Company's Shares on Euronext Growth may not develop
The Shares have not previously been tradable on any stock exchange, other regulated marketplace or multilateral trading facilities. No assurances can be given that an active trading market for the Shares will develop on Euronext Growth, nor sustain if an active trading market is developed. The market value of the Shares could be substantially affected by the extent to which a secondary market develops for the Shares following completion of the Admission.
1.4.2 Future issuances of Shares or other securities could dilute the holdings of shareholders and could materially affect the price of the Shares
The Group may require additional capital in the future to finance its business activities and growth plans. Raising additional capital or the acquisition of other companies or shareholdings in companies by means of yet to be issued Shares of the Company, issuance of Shares following exercise of share options, and any other capital measures may lead to a considerable dilution of shareholdings in the Company.
1.4.3 Risks related to future sales of Shares
Future sales, or the possibility for future sales of substantial numbers of the Shares may affect the market price of the Shares in an adverse manner.
1.4.4 Nominee registered Shares may be subject to restrictions on voting
Beneficial owners of Shares that are registered in a nominee account or otherwise through a nominee arrangement (such as through brokers, dealers or other third parties) may be unable to exercise their voting rights for shares unless their ownership is re-registered in their names with the VPS prior to a general meeting. There can be no assurance that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice of any general meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of their Shares or otherwise vote for their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners.
1.4.5 Investors could be unable to recover losses in civil proceedings in jurisdictions other than Norway
The Company is a private limited company organized under the laws of Norway. All the members of the Board of Directors and the Management reside in Norway. As a result, it may not be possible for investors to effect service of process in other jurisdictions upon such persons or the Company, to enforce against such persons or the Company judgments obtained in non-Norwegian courts, or to enforce judgments on such persons or the Company in other jurisdictions.
1.4.6 The transfer of Shares is subject to restrictions under the securities laws of the United States and other jurisdictions
None of the Shares have been registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (the "US Securities Act") or any US state securities laws or any other jurisdiction outside of Norway and are not expected to be registered in the future. As such, the Shares may not be offered or sold except pursuant to an exemption from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and other applicable securities laws. In addition, there is no assurances that shareholders residing or domiciled in the United States will be able to participate in future capital increases or rights offerings. Further, investors in the United States may have difficulty enforcing any judgment obtained in the United States against the Company or its directors or executive officers in Norway.
1.4.7 Volatility of the Share price
The market price of the Shares may be highly volatile and investors in the Shares could suffer losses. The trading price of the Shares could fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors beyond the Company's control, including quarterly variations in operating results, adverse business developments, changes in financial estimates and investment recommendations or ratings by securities analysts, significant contracts, acquisitions or strategic relationships, publicity about the Group, its products and services or its competitors, lawsuits against the Group, unforeseen liabilities, changes to the regulatory environment in which it operates or general market conditions. In recent years, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies. Those changes may occur without regard to the operating performance of these companies. The price of the Shares may therefore fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with the Group, and these fluctuations may materially affect the price of the Shares.
1.4.8 Shareholders outside of Norway are subject to exchange rate risk
All of the Shares will be priced in Norwegian Kroner ("NOK"), the lawful currency of Norway and any future payments of dividends on the Shares or other distributions from the Company will be denominated in NOK. Accordingly, any investor outside Norway is subject to adverse movements in the NOK against their local currency, as the foreign currency equivalent of any dividends paid on the Shares or price received in connection with any sale of the Shares could be materially impacted upon by adverse currency movements.
1.4.9 Pre-emptive rights may not be available to all holders of Shares
Under Norwegian law, unless otherwise resolved at the Company's general meeting of shareholders, existing shareholders have pre-emptive rights to participate in the issuance of new shares for cash consideration. Shareholders in the United States as well as in certain other countries may be unable participate in an offer of new shares unless the Company decides to comply with local requirements in such jurisdictions, and in the case of the United States, unless a registration statement under the US Securities Act is effective with respect to such rights and shares or an exemption from the registration requirements is available. In such cases, shareholders resident in such non-Norwegian jurisdictions may experience a dilution of their holding of the Shares, possibly without such dilution being offset by any compensation received in exchange for subscription rights. In addition, the general meeting may resolve to waive the pre-emptive right of all existing shareholders. Furthermore, the shareholders may resolve to grant the board of directors an authorization to increase the share capital of the Company and set aside any pre-emptive rights for the shareholders, without the prior approval of the shareholders. Such authorization may also result in dilution of the shareholders' holding of Shares.
1.4.10 The Company will incur increased costs as a result of being listed on Euronext Growth
As a company with its Shares listed on Euronext Growth, the Company will be required to comply with Oslo Børs' reporting and disclosure requirements for companies listed on Euronext Growth. The Company will incur additional legal, accounting and other expenses in order to ensure compliance with these and other applicable rules and regulations. The Company anticipates that its incremental general and administrative expenses as a company with its shares listed on Euronext Growth will include, among other things, costs associated with annual and interim reports to shareholders, shareholders' meetings, investor relations, incremental director and officer liability insurance costs and officer and director compensation. In addition, the Board of Directors and management may be required to devote significant time and effort to ensure compliance with applicable rules and regulations for companies with its shares listed on Euronext Growth, which may entail that less time and effort can be devoted to other aspects of the business. Any such increased costs, individually or in the aggregate, could have an adverse effect on the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and prospects.
1.4.11 Majority shareholder risk
Funds managed by Viking Venture AS owns, and is expected to continue to own in the future, a significant shareholding in the Company. A concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change of control of the Company that could be economically beneficial to other shareholders. Further, the interests of shareholders exerting a significant influence over the Company may not in all matters be aligned with the interests of the Company and the other shareholders of the Company.
1.4.12 The Company is subject to the Euronext Growth Rule Book which may deviate from the regulations for securities trading on Oslo Børs and Euronext Expand, and which may imply a risk of a lower degree of transparency and minority protection
The Company is subject to the rules of the Market Abuse Regulation ((EU) No. 596/2014, MAR), certain parts of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act applicable to securities admitted to trading on a multilateral trading facility, and the Euronext Growth Rule Book. Such obligations may differ from the obligations imposed on companies whose securities are listed on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand. The Company is not subject to any takeover regulations meaning that an acquirer may purchase a stake in the Shares exceeding the applicable thresholds for a mandatory offer for a company listed on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand without triggering a mandatory offer for the remaining Shares. In accordance with Euronext Growth Rule Book Part I, section 4.3, and without prejudice to national regulations, the Company shall make public within five (5) trading days of becoming aware, any situation where a person, acting alone or in concert, reaches, exceeds or falls below a major holding threshold of fifty percent (50%) or ninety percent (90%) of the capital or voting rights. Furthermore, there is no other requirement to disclose large shareholdings in the Company (Nw.: flaggeplikt). These deviations from the regulations applicable to securities trading on Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand may, alone or together, impose a risk to transparency and the protection of minority shareholders. An investment in the Shares is suitable only for investors who understand the risk factors associated with an investment in a company admitted to trading on Euronext Growth Oslo.

The Company has furnished the information in this Information Document. No representation or warranty, express or implied is made by the Euronext Growth Advisors as to the accuracy, completeness or verification of the information set forth herein, and nothing contained in this Information Document is, or shall be relied upon as, a promise or representation in this respect, whether as to the past or the future. The Euronext Growth Advisors assume no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness or the verification of this Information Document and accordingly disclaim, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all liability whether arising in tort, contract or otherwise which they might otherwise be found to have in respect of this Information Document or any such statement.
Neither the Company nor the Euronext Growth Advisors, or any of their respective affiliates, representatives, advisors or selling agents, is making any representation to any purchaser of the Shares regarding the legality of an investment in the Shares. Each investor should consult with his or her own advisors as to the legal, tax, business, financial and related aspects of a purchase of Shares.
3.2 Presentation of financial and other information
3.2.1 Financial information
The Company has prepared audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2020, which include comparable figures for the corresponding figures in 2019, (the "Financial Statements") in accordance with Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("NGAAP") and the Norwegian Accounting Act of 17 July 1988 no. 56 (the "Norwegian Accounting Act"). The comparable figures included in the Financial Statements have been based on the annual accounts of Ørn Software AS for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The Financial Statements are included in Appendix B to this Information Document. The Financial Statements have been audited by Ernst & Young AS, as set forth in their report therein.
In October 2020, the Group carried out an internal corporate reorganization whereby all shareholders of Ørn Software AS (the former parent company of the Group) made a contribution-in-kind of all of their shares in Ørn Software AS to the Company in exchange for newly issued Shares in the Company, thus making the Company the parent company of the Group. Consequently, there only exists limited financial information for the Company as the parent company of the Group. Prior to this reorganization, the Company was a dormant company within the Group, owned by Ørn Software AS.
As a result of the Acquisitions of MainManager and Entro IT, the Company has, in addition to the Financial Statements prepared and included in this Information, unaudited condensed pro forma financial information (the "Pro Forma Financial Information") for illustrative purposes to show how the Acquisitions might have affected the Financial Statements if the Acquisitions were completed on 1 January 2020. No pro forma statement of balance sheet has been prepared, as the Acquisitions are fully reflected in the Financial Statements. The Pro Forma Financial Information does not purport to represent what the Company's actual statement of income would have been had the events which were the subject of the adjustments occurred on the relevant dates. The Pro Forma Financial Information does not include all of the information for financial statements under NGAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements.
In connection with the Pro Forma Financial Information, the audited annual accounts of MainManager ehf., Entro IT and Entro AB for the year ended 31 December 2020 are attached to this Information Document as Appendix D, E and F respectively.
The Company presents the Financial Statements in NOK (presentation currency). Reference is made to Section 7 "Selected financial information and other information" for further information.
3.2.2 Alternative performance measures
Alternative performance measures ("APM") are used by the Group to provide a better understanding of the Group's underlying financial performance for the period. Annual recurring revenue (ARR) and adjusted EBITDA is also used by Management to drive performance in terms of target setting.
Each of the following APMs have been defined by the Group as follows:
- Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA adjusted for material items which are not regarded as part of underlying business performance for the period, such as costs related to acquisitions and divestments, restructuring costs and rebranding, as well as other material effects of a special nature.
- Annual recurring revenue is defined as at each point in time the annual value of contracted license revenue, that are considered recurring by nature, although the contract include termination clauses that enable the customers, with a certain notification period, to terminate the customer agreement.

3.2.3 Industry and market data
In this Information Document, the Company has used industry and market data obtained from independent industry publications, market research and other publicly available information. Although the industry and market data is inherently imprecise, the Company confirms that where information has been sourced from a third party, such information has been accurately reproduced and that as far as the Company is aware and is able to ascertain from information published by that third party, no facts have been omitted that would render the reproduced information inaccurate or misleading. Where information sourced from third parties has been presented, the source of such information has been identified.
Industry publications or reports generally state that the information they contain has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but the accuracy and completeness of such information is not guaranteed. The Company has not independently verified and cannot give any assurances as to the accuracy of market data contained in this Information Document that was extracted from industry publications or reports and reproduced herein.
Market data and statistics are inherently predictive and subject to uncertainty and not necessarily reflective of actual market conditions. Such data and statistics are based on market research, which itself is based on sampling and subjective judgments by both the researchers and the respondents, including judgments about what types of products and transactions should be included in the relevant market.
As a result, prospective investors should be aware that statistics, data, statements and other information relating to markets, market sizes, market shares, market positions and other industry data in this Information Document (and projections, assumptions and estimates based on such information) may not be reliable indicators of the Company's future performance and the future performance of the industry in which it operates. Such indicators are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to the limitations described above and to a variety of other factors, including those described in Section 1 ("Risk Factors") and elsewhere in this Information Document.
Unless otherwise indicated in the Information Document, the basis for any statements regarding the Company's competitive position is based on the Company's own assessment and knowledge of the market in which it operates.

4 REASONS FOR THE ADMISSION
The Company believes the Admission will:
- enhance the Group's profile with investors, business partners, suppliers and customers;
- allow for an additional trading platform and liquid market for the Shares;
- facilitate for a more diversified shareholder base and enable additional investors to take part in the Group's future growth and value creation;
- further improve the ability of the Group to attract and retain key management and employees; and
- further improve the ability of the Group to raise equity capital to finance future acquisitions.
No equity capital or proceeds will be raised by the Company upon the Admission, but the Company has completed a Private Placement immediately prior to the Admission, as further described in Section 5 ("Details of the Private Placement").
5 DETAILS OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT
5.1 Details of the Private Placement
On 23 March 2021, the Company resolved a private placement (the "Private Placement"), consisting of:
- (i) A share capital increase for a total amount of approximately NOK 250 million, by issuing 23,809,524 new Shares, with a nominal value of NOK 0.10 each, at a subscription price of NOK 10.50 per Share (the "Offer Price") (the "New Shares");
- (ii) A secondary sale of existing, validly issued Shares from a consortium of the largest existing shareholders and certain members of Management of the Company (the "Selling Shareholders"), each with a nominal value of NOK 0.10, at the Offer Price, for a total amount of approximately NOK 100 million (the "Sale Shares").
In addition to the above, an additional 3,333,334 Shares (the "Additional Shares", and together with the New Shares and the Sale Shares, the "Offer Shares") were over-allotted in the Private Placement to facilitate price stabilisation activities as further described below.
The book-building period for the Private Placement took place from 22 March 2021 to 23 March 2021, notifications of allocation were issued on 24 March 2021 and payment from the investors in the Private Placement is expected to take place on or about 29 March 2021. The New Shares were resolved issued by the Board of Directors on 23 March 2021 pursuant to an authorization granted to the Board of Directors by the Company's general meeting on 10 March 2021.
In connection with the Private Placement, a member of Management exercised 82,973 share options and sold a corresponding number of Shares in the Private Placement.
Delivery of the new shares in the Private Placement will be made through the facilities of the VPS on or about 29 March 2021 on a delivery-versus-payment basis (DVP). DVP settlement, including the Shares sold following exercise of share options, is facilitated by a pre-funding agreement between the Company and the Euronext Growth Advisors.
In connection with the allocation of the Additional Shares, the shareholders Viking Venture 11 AS, Viking Venture 11B AS and Breiangen AS (being the largest shareholders of the Company) (jointly, the "Share Lenders") granted Pareto Securities AS (the "Stabilisation Manager"), on behalf of the Euronext Growth Advisors, an option to borrow a number of shares equivalent to the Additional Shares. Furthermore, the Share Lenders have granted the Stabilisation Manager, on behalf of the Euronext Growth Advisors, an option (the "Greenshoe Option") to purchase, at the Offer Price, a number of Shares equal to the number of Additional Shares allocated in the Private Placement to cover short positions resulting from any over-allotments made in the Private Placement and that are not covered through share purchases made as part of any stabilisation activities. The Greenshoe Option is exercisable, in whole or in part, by the Stabilisation Manager within a 30-day period commencing at the first day of the Admission.
5.2 Shareholdings following the Private Placement
Upon completion of the registration of the Private Placement in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises, which will occur prior to trading of the Shares on Euronext Growth, and delivery of the new Shares in the Private Placement, the Company will have major shareholders as set out in Section 9.2 ("Shareholder structure").
5.3 Use of proceeds and expenses
The proceeds from the Private Placement will primarily be used to pursue inorganic growth initiatives as well as for general corporate purposes.
In addition, the proceeds will be used to cover relevant transaction costs incurred in connection with the Private Placement and the listing of the Shares on Euronext Growth. The costs and expenses of the Company in connection with the Private Placement are estimated to NOK 15 million, which also include payment of 33.3% of the costs for a book-building insurance policy taken out by the Euronext Growth Advisors in connection with the Private Placement.
5.4 Dilution
The Private Placement implied a dilution of 38.37% for existing shareholders who did not participate in the share capital increase or the sale of existing Shares pertaining to the Private Placement.
5.5 Lock-up
5.5.1 The Company
Pursuant to a lock-up undertaking entered into in connection with the Private Placement, the Company has undertaken that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Euronext Growth Advisors, during the period up to and including the date falling 6 months from the first day of trading of the Shares on Euronext Growth, (1) issue, sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or warrants or other rights to Shares, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or warrants or other rights to Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in (1) or (2) above. The foregoing shall not apply to (A) the issue of Shares as part of the Private Placement, (B) the granting of options or other rights to Shares, or the honoring of options or such other rights to Shares, by the Company pursuant to any management or employee share incentive schemes, or (C) the issuance of consideration shares in connection with settlement of acquisition of other companies and/or businesses, or issuance of Shares to fund such acquisitions, provided that; (i) such shares represent in aggregate no more than 20% of the share capital of the Company following completion of the Private Placement, and (ii) the Company has informed the Managers in writing of such issuance at least ten days prior to the earlier of the contemplated entry into of transaction documentation in relation thereto or the public disclosure of such issuance.
5.5.2 Board members
Pursuant to lock-up undertakings entered into in connection with the Private Placement, members of the Board of Directors have undertaken that they will not, without the prior written consent of the Euronext Growth Advisors, during the period up to and including the date falling 12 months from the first day of trading of the Shares on Euronext Growth, (1) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or warrants or other rights to purchase Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (1) or (2). The foregoing shall not apply to (A) the sale or other transfer of Shares as part of the Private Placement, if any, or (B) any transfer of Shares to a company wholly owned or directly or indirectly controlled by the relevant Board member provided that such company (i) assumes the obligations set forth in this the lock-up undertaking and (ii) remain wholly owned or under the direct or indirect control by the relevant Board member for the remaining part of the lock-up period.
5.5.3 Members of Management
Pursuant to lock-up undertakings entered into in connection with the Private Placement, members of the Management have undertaken that they will not, without the prior written consent of the Euronext Growth Advisors, during the period up to and including the date falling 12 months from the first day of trading of the Shares on Euronext Growth, (1) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or warrants or other rights to purchase Shares or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or warrants or other rights to purchase Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (1) or (2).

5.5.4 Selling Shareholders
Pursuant to lock-up undertakings entered into in connection with the Private Placement, the Selling Shareholders have undertaken that they will not, without the prior written consent of the Euronext Growth Advisors, during the period up to and including the date falling 6 months from the first day of trading of the Shares on Euronext Growth, (1) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or warrants or other rights to purchase Shares, or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, or warrants or other rights to purchase Shares, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or (3) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (1) or (2). The foregoing shall not apply to (A) the sale or other transfer of Shares as part of the Private Placement (including any Shares sold pursuant to the Greenshoe Option), if any, or (B) any transfer of Shares to a company wholly owned or directly or indirectly controlled by the Selling Shareholder provided that such company (i) assumes the obligations set forth in this the lock-up undertaking and (ii) remain wholly owned or under the direct or indirect control by the Selling Shareholder for the remaining part of the lock-up period.
5.6 Stabilisation
The Stabilisation Manager may (but will be under no obligation to) effect stabilisation transactions with a view to supporting the market price of the Shares, in a period of 30 days from the first day of the Admission, at a level higher than that which might otherwise prevail. However, stabilisation actions may not necessarily occur and may cease at any time. Any stabilisation action may begin on or after the first date of the Admission and, if begun, may be ended at any time, but it must end no later than 30 days after that date (the "Stabilisation Period"). Stabilisation may result in a price of the Shares that is higher than might otherwise prevail, and the price may reach a level that cannot be maintained on a permanent basis.
Any stabilisation activities will be conducted in accordance with the principles set out in the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1052 with regard to regulatory technical standards for the conditions applicable to buy-back programs and stabilisation measures as implemented into Norwegian law by Section 3-1 (3) of the Norwegian Securities Trading Regulation.
Net profits from stabilisation activities, if any, will be to the benefit of the Share Lenders.
Stabilisation activities will, in accordance with the rules set out above, at the latest be reported to the market on the seventh trading day after they occurred. Within one week after the expiry of the Stabilisation Period, the Stabilisation Manager will publish information as to whether or not price stabilisation activities were undertaken. If stabilisation activities were undertaken, the statement will also include information about; (i) the dates on which the Stabilisation Period began and ended, (ii) the price range between which stabilisation was carried out, for each day stabilisation activities occurred, and (iii) if relevant, the market places where the stabilisation activities occurred.

Ørn is a Nordic provider of Software-as-a-Service ("SaaS") solutions for efficient operations and maintenance across a wide range of industries, including real estate, manufacturing, food & beverages, and aquaculture. The Group delivers one-stop-shop solutions that cater to the needs of all the different groups of users in organizations, with a software portfolio that helps owners of facilities or industrial assets to improve operational efficiency and lift sustainability performance.
The software provides customers with improved insight through data-driven operations and contribute to increased efficiency and reduced costs through digitalization of rental processes, data-driven maintenance scheduling and planning, and energy optimization. All of the above contribute to the lengthening of property and equipment lifespan, which is an important part of Ørn's value proposition. Furthermore, the Group's offering enable customers to reduce their environmental footprint, and helps them in meeting reporting and regulatory compliance needs. The user-friendly systems give all its users a complete overview of business critical tasks, thus facilitating better cooperation and streamlining operations. This ensures an efficient management of real estate and industrial assets, as well as the ability to document sustainable operations.
Combined, the Group's product platforms provide a number of benefits for the Group's customers. This includes reduced costs, increased uptime and efficiency, extended asset lifetime, reduced environmental footprint, and convenience in terms of meeting reporting and regulatory compliance needs.
The figure below shows the three main segments of Ørn's software offering:

Ørn has been developing software for optimisation of property- and industrial management for over 30 years. In later years, the Group has also invested heavily in aquaculture, and developed solutions for environmental sustainability. Today, more than 1,100 companies with over 140,000 employees use ØRN's different SaaSsolutions every day.
The Company has a mainly subscription-based revenue model, with nearly 90% of the revenue being recurring. Most contracts are invoiced yearly on a 12-month up-front basis, and typically have a 3-months' notice period for termination. Ørn has a highly scalable payment model that is linked to the scope of use by customers, driving revenue growth as activity increases over time. Further, the payment model is closely linked to customer value generated, supporting satisfaction levels and price increases. Pricing is based on functionality, and other determinant depending on the segment (e.g. square meters of floor space under management and number of apartments for Real Estate Management, and number of maintenance objects in the system for Industrial Maintenance). Other sources of revenue include initialization fees, which are recognized on a client start-up basis.
The Group's intent is to be the preferred best-of-breed solution in the Nordics, and it consequently defined a number of initiatives to fuel this continued growth journey. Continued M&A activity in and beyond the Nordics, up- and cross-selling, product expansion, harmonizing products into a unified platform for improved scalability are amongst these levers. The Group has a financial target of achieving an ARR of NOK 300 million and an EBITDA margin exceeding 40% within 2025, and a strategic target of becoming a dominant European player within its markets within 2025.
6.3.2 Product platforms
Most companies have fixed assets necessary for operations. These include real estate (e.g. office space, premises for rent), outdoor assets (e.g. parking lots, park facilities), and industrial assets and production facilities (e.g. machinery, equipment). Efficient management of these assets can save companies a lot of costs, both related to operations, and related to substituting worn-out equipment or facilities. Ørn's software solutions help companies to operate, manage and maintain their assets more efficiently. The three segments through which they do this are called; i) Real Estate Management, ii) Industrial Maintenance & Quality Control, and iii) Energy & Sustainability Management. A brief overview of these segments is provided below.
Real Estate Management
Real Estate Management involves the management of companies' facilities and properties. The segment enables workflow automation and data-driven decision making across facility and property activities, through ØRN's one-stop-shop solution. As opposed to other single-purpose players, Ørn's solution ensures that all communication is done at the same place, regardless of whether the resources are internal or external. The system ensures proper documentation, increased efficiency, and total control of all current laws and regulations, and helps managers maximize the value of their commercial properties. The Real Estate Management segment is currently the largest in terms of annual recurring revenue (ARR) (NOK 80 million, including ARR contribution from Facility Management AS), however the smallest in terms of number of customers (~220).

Industrial Maintenance & Quality Control
The segment Industrial Maintenance & Quality Control includes the digitalization of maintenance and operational control activities, supported by planning- and collaboration tools and analytics. The Industrial Maintenance system helps customers reduce operating costs and extends assets lifetimes. Improved planning of maintenance tasks, and documentation of carried out maintenance is part of ensuring the equipment's good health throughout the entire lifespan. Additionally, the system provides customers with economic control of costs related to maintenance. Quality Control ensures consistent high-quality "ready for audit" documentation, combined with risk assessment and irregularities reporting. This enables customers to update all maintenance procedures within their organization smoothly, and always have control of information as it is assembled in one platform. The Industrial Maintenance & Quality Control segment currently contributes with an ARR of NOK 27 million.

Energy & Sustainability Management
The final segment, Energy & Sustainability Management, includes the automated tools that contribute to the customers' reduced climate footprint and optimized energy consumption, and in turn saving them substantial costs. Furthermore, with stricter regulations comes increasing ESG reporting requirements, and the need for proper measurements and reports. This is ensured by the Ørn's software, which reduces reporting costs, and improves performance and documentation to bank and regulators. This segment was introduced to the product mix in 2020, and is the largest segment in terms of customers (~460) and currently contributes with an ARR of NOK 15 million.

6.3.3 Competitive landscape
Ørn has a clear value proposition, with best-of-breed solutions covering customers' full needs. Looking at the market and the competitive landscape, it is natural to compare Ørn to both single-purpose players, as well as more general ERP players. While single-purpose players provide targeted solutions with a narrow functional focus, the generalists provide a deeper functionality in select areas or industries. Ørn differentiates from adjacent players in these groups by combining a strong functional offering with specific industry know-how and workflow tailoring, resulting in a number of competitive advantages.
As ERP players, or generalists, cover a larger extent of functionalities, they also tend to have limited tailoring to customer need. This might result in limited quality in the eyes of the customer. Compared to general ERP players, Ørn provides solutions that are specifically designed for customer workflow and needs, as opposed to ERP systems with more generic solutions. These best-of-breed solutions are more user-friendly than ERP systems, because they do not rely on the broader ERP framework. Finally, the pace of development and implementation of state-of-the-art functionality is higher for the best-of-breed solutions, due to fewer dependencies across the software suite.

Furthermore, best-of-breed solutions like Ørn software also have a competitive edge over single-purpose players. It is a one-stop-shop for its customers, where a number of single-purpose players would have to be implemented in parallel to cover the same functionality. With several integration layers, Ørn can easily connect to external systems and tools – whereof single-purpose players are restricted to individual tools. Finally, compared to a single-purpose player, Ørn can offer better customer support, implementation and training.
6.3.4 Organization
Ørn has 102 employees, and is headquartered in Trondheim, Norway. Today, the Group has offices in the Norwegian cities Bergen, Florø, Oslo and Moss, in addition to the Nordic countries Sweden, Denmark and Iceland. However, the Group has a goal of continued M&A activity to expand to other geographies, both in and outside the Nordics. Across offices, the Group has centralized functions supporting the entire group, with standardized operational processes and supporting tools. Personnel can be divided into four groups: Sales & Marketing (13 FTEs), Customer success (26 FTEs), Technology & R&D (44 FTEs) and Admin (9 FTEs).

(the figure above does not include the employees of Facility Management AS)
6.4 Principal markets
The Group's current operations are primarily focused in the Norwegian market, but the Group also has an important foothold in other Nordic countries. The current core segments consists of its Real Estate Management, Industrial Maintenance & Quality Control and Energy & Sustainability Management segments, however, Ørn is well-positioned to expand to new verticals and services through adjacent target verticals include verticals that the Group already serve with parts of the portfolio (e.g. Retail, Accommodation, Public sector, Construction and Transport & Logistics). Adjacent services include broader quality control, document management, budgeting & financial forecasting software, and project management software.
The largest customer groups are companies in real estate (~20%), manufacturing (~18%), public sector (~17%) and student housing (~17%). Other include aquaculture, construction, retail, health care and accommodation. In total, the Company has ~1,020 customers and ~175,000 users who apply the solutions to ~32,000 buildings and ~37,500 apartments. The Company has a diversified customer base, with ~35% of the portfolio belonging to the Top 20 customers in 2020. I.e., there is little dependence on one or few customers, as no single customer stands for more than 5% of the portfolio. Furthermore, no customer sector makes up more than 20% of Ørn's ARR in 2020.
The Group operates in a market with favorable market trends, all pointing towards increased adoptions and spending in core markets. Increasing digitalization of work processes, and demand for efficiency improvements are amongst these trends, and are all part of and results of Ørn's offering. Additionally, trends regarding social responsibility, and stricter regulations and compliance demands are met by Ørn and the Company's offering.
To the Company's knowledge, there are currently few direct substitutes in the market. Ørn provides solutions that are specifically designed for customer workflow and needs, as opposed to generalists and ERP systems with more generic solutions. Furthermore, Ørn's solutions are more user-friendly than ERP systems, due to no dependence on the broader ERP framework. Most players in the market are single-purpose players who does not provide the same broad offering. Single-purpose players would have to be implemented in parallel to cover the same functionality that Ørn does as a one-stop-shop. The competitive edge over single-purpose players is further evidenced by the easy connect companies are able to make to external systems and tools, whereas single-purpose players are restricted to individual tools.

7.6 Unaudited pro forma financial information
7.6.1 Introduction
On 25 September 2017, the Company was founded under the name Dash Software, as a subsidiary of Ørn Software AS (former View Software AS). Through a series of transaction completed autumn 2020 (as described in Section 7.6.4 "Basis of preparation" below), the Company became the new parent company in the Group.
In December 2020, the subsidiary Ørn Software AS acquired 99.8 % of the shares in MainManager EHF ("MainManager"), a company incorporated under the laws of Iceland. The remaining 0.2 % is treasury shares, so the Company effectively acquired all of the outstanding shares. MainManager is the sole owner of the shares in MainManager Norge AS and MainManager Denmark ApS. The MainManager software has been facilitating the operation and maintenance of thousands of properties, while at the same time providing customers with a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of their property portfolio. The software gives you the ability to maintain and manage your properties completely, as well as keep an eye on your energy usage and expenditures. It also allows you to store and access all documents and data and link these directly to the relevant property.
Also in December 2020, the subsidiary Ørn Software AS completed its acquisition of all of the shares in Entro IT AS ("Entro IT"), a company incorporated under the laws of Norway. Entro IT has a fully owned subsidiary in Sweden, Entro AB. The business of Entro IT consists of licensing business. The information the software collects forms the basis for implementing operational measures, technical improvements, and other services. This information includes documentation related to e.g. energy consumption, waste streams, carbon footprint and finances. Entro IT AS, including the shares in Entro AB, was de-merged from Entro AS in December 2020.
The acquisitions of MainManager and Entro IT are hereinafter jointly referred to as the "Acquisitions".
Due to the materiality of the Acquisitions, the Company has voluntarily concluded to include pro forma financial information (the "Pro Forma Financial Information") in the Information Document. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Company has compiled the pro forma financial information are specified in Annex 20 to Commission delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2019/980 supplementing the EU Prospectus Regulation as incorporated in Norwegian law through section 7-1 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act.
7.6.2 Cautionary note regarding the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared by the Company for illustrative purposes to show how the Merger might have affected the Company's consolidated income statement for the twelve-month period ended 31 December 2020 as if the Acquisitions were completed on 1 January 2020. No pro forma statement of balance sheet is prepared, as the Acquisitions are fully reflected in the Company's consolidated statement as of 31 December 2020.
The Pro Forma Financial Information is based on certain management assumptions and adjustments. These assumptions might not necessarily have applied had the Group restructuring carried out in October 2020 been completed for the purposes of financial reporting in such period. Because of its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not represent the Company's actual financial position or results if the Acquisitions had in fact occurred on the date mentioned above and is not representative of the results of operations for any future periods. Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this Pro Forma Financial Information. The Pro Forma Financial Information does not include all of the information required for financial statements under Norwegian GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 that is included in Appendix B of this Information Document.
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been compiled in connection with the Information Document prepared in connection with the Admission. It should be noted that the Pro Forma Financial Information is not prepared in connection with an offering registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under the U.S. Securities Act and consequently is not compliant with the requirements of Regulation S-X presentation of pro forma financial information. As such, a U.S. investor should not place undue reliance on the Pro Forma Financial Information included in this Information Document.
The assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments and eliminations, for purpose of deriving the Pro Forma Financial Information, are described in the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information. Neither these adjustments nor the resulting Pro Forma Financial Information have been audited in accordance with Norwegian or United States generally accepted auditing standards. Each reader should carefully consider the Financial Statements of the Company and the notes thereto and the notes to the Pro Forma Financial Information.
7.6.3 Independent assurance report on the Pro Forma Financial Information
With respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information, EY has applied assurance procedures in accordance with International Standards on Assurance Engagements 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of pro forma financial information included in an Prospectus, in order to express an opinion as to whether the unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated, and that such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company. EY's report is included as Appendix C "Independent Assurance Report on the Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information."
7.6.4 Basis of preparation
Basis and source for the Pro Forma Financial Information
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in a manner consistent with the accounting policies of the Company (NGAAP) applied in the audited consolidated financial statements for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020. Please refer to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 for a description of the Company's accounting policies.
The Acquisitions are accounted for as a business combination under NRS 17 Business Combination and consolidated financial statements ("Virksomhetskjøp og konsernregnskap"). NRS 17 establishes principles and requirements for how to recognise and measure assets, liabilities and goodwill acquired. The standard measures the cost of the acquisition at the fair value of consideration paid, allocated the cost to the acquired identifiable assets and liabilities on the basis of their fair values and allocates the rest of the cost to goodwill. For accounting purposes, Ørn Software AS was considered to be the Acquirer.
The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information has been prepared under the assumption of going concern. After 31 December 2020, the following transactions have taken place, and are not included in the Pro Forma Financial Information;
- (i) On 8 March 2021, Ørn Software AS acquired all of the outstanding shares in Facility Management AS (operating under the trading name Facilit). Facilit delivers a standard FDVU solution with complementary modules within Rental Management, Energy Management and Project Accounting. As there are no requirements under the Admission rules for Euronext Growth to prepare pro forma financial information, the Company has chosen to only present qualitative and quantitative information for this acquisition, which are available in Section 6.6.6 "Acquisition of Facility Management AS"; and
- (ii) To pursue inorganic growth initiatives as well as for general corporate purposes, the Company completed a Private Placement with gross proceeds to the Company of NOK 250 million on 23 March 2021, with subsequent application for Admission on Euronext Growth Oslo. The Acquisitions resulting in preparation of the pro forma information was not contingent up on an equity offering, accordingly, proceeds from the Private Placement is not included in the Pro Forma Financial Information.
The Pro Forma Financial Information for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020 has been compiled based on:
- Audited consolidated financial statements for Ørn Software Holding AS, prepared in accordance with NGAAP. The Audited consolidated financial statement is included in Appendix B.
- Audited consolidated financial statements for MainManager EHF, prepared in accordance with Iceland GAAP. The Audited consolidated financial statement is included in Appendix D.
- Audited financial statements for Entro IT AS, prepared in accordance with NGAAP for smaller enterprises for the period 1 August to 31 December 2020. The Audited financial statement is included in Appendix E.
- Audited financial statements for Entro AB, prepared in accordance with Swedish GAAP for smaller enterprises. The Audited financial statement is included in Appendix F.
- Carved out management accounts from Entro AS for the period 1 January 2020 until 31 July 2020. Management has assessed the trial balance for Entro IT AS for the period until demerger and extracted all income statement items between the demerged business and business to continue in Entro IT. Accordingly the total of Entro It AS statutory accounts plus Management Accounts reflects how Entro IT AS would have been if the demerger and acquisition took place as of January 1, 2020.
In the 4 th quarter 2020, the Board and Management in Ørn Software AS initiated a Group restructuring. The purpose was to set up a new organisation structure, suitable for funding related to organic and inorganic growth, including the need for a separate holding company. Through a series of transactions, the Company which previously was a fully owned subsidiary of Ørn Software AS, ended up being the ultimate parent, and Ørn Software becoming a fully owned subsidiary. Among other, the restructuring required consent from all of the shareholders in Ørn Software AS and an extraordinary general meeting approved the transaction on 30 October 2020. The shareholder structure post restructuring was basically unchanged. Under NGAAP, the restructuring is accounted for with analogy to the pooling of interest method and not as a business combination, also supported by the fact that the Company was a dormant company, which could not be identified as an acquirer in a business combination. As a result of this, the transaction is recorded to continuity in the consolidated financial statement, and continuity is also applied with retrospective impact also for the consolidated figures.
Certain GAAP differences were identified and are illustrated and described in Section 7.6.5 "Pro Forma Financial Information for the twelve-month period ended 31 December 2020".
The Pro Forma Financial Information is presented in NOK. For purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Information the income statement is translated to NOK based on the average exchange rate for the period.
The following exchange rates have been used to convert the financial information for MainManager (ISK) and Entro AB (SEK) into NOK for the purposes of the Pro Forma Financial Information presented below:
| Currency | |
|---|---|
| ISK/ NOK (average) | 6.95 |
| SEK/ NOK (average) | 102.26 |
Purchase price allocation
The Pro Forma Financial Information also includes certain management assumptions and adjustments, which not necessarily would have been applied for an actual financial consolidation for the same periods.
The assets and assumed liabilities acquired is considered to be a business, accounted for as a business combination under NRS 17. The Company has for the purpose of the Pro Forma Financial Information performed a preliminary purchase price allocation ("PPA"). This allocation has formed the basis for the operating expenses, amortization and finance charges in the unaudited pro forma condensed income statement. In the preliminary PPA the purchase price has been allocated to the identifiable assets, liabilities and assumed liabilities which constitutes a business under the Acquisitions. The PPA is preliminary and the allocation may change when further and more complete information regarding the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is available, accordingly the values allocated to the identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities may change in the final PPA. The main uncertainty relates to the valuation allocated to intangible assets and expected useful life of those assets. For accounting purposes, the Acquisitions were assessed to be completed on 31 December 2020.

Notes to the unaudited pro forma statement of comprehensive income
Harmonisation of GAAP differences/ accounting policies
H&E a; Capitalization of Development expenditures (Entro IT)
Under NGAAP for smaller enterprises it is a policy choice regarding treatment for R&D expenses. Entro IT has historically expensed also development expenditures, while the Company's accounting policy is to capitalize development expenditures. As a result of this, NOK 33,450 thousand in salary expenses related to development of Energy 2.0 is reversed and capitalized as Development expenditures. The development project is still not finalized, and amortization is expected to commence in 2022. The reclassification from expense to capitalized development have also an impact on tax, and the tax expense is reduced with NOK 759 thousand (22 % of NOK 3 450 thousand).
Elimination of transactions between the Company and acquired entities (Entro IT)
H&E b; The completion of the acquisition of Entro IT was among others subject to completion of demerger of Entro IT from Entro AS. During the period from entering into the purchase agreement and until the acquisition was completed for accounting purposes, a business relationship between the parties were established. NOK 780 thousand have been invoiced from Ørn Software AS to Entro IT, the amount is eliminated against revenue and COGS.
H&E c; Internal sale amounting to NOK 590 thousand between Entro IT AS and Entro AB is eliminated against cost of goods sold.
Pro forma adjustments
Note 1; Transactions related to purchase price allocation - Depreciation and amortisation
The fair value of the assets and liabilities assumed in the acquisitions have been evaluated by Management as part of the preliminary PPA as described in section 7.6.4 "Basis of preparation" above. In the PPA, fair value was allocated to R&D, other assets mainly consisted of working capital elements of which no fair value adjustments were identified. The remaining allocation was allocated to goodwill.
Remaining useful life for R&D is considered to be 5 year, which resulted in an amortisation charge of NOK 5,458 thousand on MainManager and NOK 4,575 thousand on Entro IT which is adjusted for. Goodwill is also amortised under NGAAP, and the Company has estimated a remaining useful life of 8 years on goodwill. Amortisation of NOK 2,775 thousand and NOK 2,338 thousand is adjusted for on MainManager and Entro IT respectively. These adjustments on amortisation of R&D and Goodwill will have continuing impact.
The acquisitions resulted in estimated transaction costs of NOK 2,180 thousand which is included as part of the purchase price allocation under NGAAP, and is not expensed.
Note 2; Interest expense
The Acquisitions are funded through utilisation of the Company's facility loan (the Notes Issue), and an interest expense of NOK 9,000 thousand is adjusted for. The loan is carrying an interest rate on 8.5%. Due to the limitation of tax deduction on interest, Management have calculated that the tax effect of interest charge is NOK 583 thousand (after tax limitation on interest). The adjustment will have continuing impact.
Note 3; Income tax expense
The purchase price allocation resulted in a technical deferred tax liability, the tax effect is reversed in line with amortisation and resulted in a release of deferred tax liability (tax income) of NOK 2,207 thousand in the period, in addition to a tax income on NOK 583 thousand related to tax impact of pro forma interest (see note 2). These adjustments will have continuing impact.
7.7 Adjusted EBITDA
The Pro Forma Financial Information provide a reported EBITDA of approximately NOK 32.8 million, which include certain one-off costs. When deducting these one-off costs and based on the Pro Forma Financial Information, the Company estimates that an adjusted EBITDA figure may be approximately NOK 38.9 million.
The one-off costs relate to; (i) management bonuses in conjunction with acquisitions (NOK 3.7 million), (ii) consulting costs related to the rebranding from View Software to Ørn Software (NOK 1.0 million), and (iii) a provision for employer's tax pertaining to vested options as of December 2020 (NOK 1.5 million).

Further, none of the companies in the Group has issued any convertible loans or subordinated debt or transferrable securities.
9.5 Shareholder rights
The Company has one class of Shares in issue, and in accordance with the Norwegian Private Limited Companies Act, all Shares in that class provide equal rights in the Company. Each of the Shares carries one vote. The rights attaching to the Shares at Listing are described in Section 9.5.1 "The Articles of Association" and Section 9.5.2 "Certain aspects of Norwegian law".
9.5.1 The Articles of Association
The Company's Articles of Association are set out in Appendix A to this Information Document. Below is a summary of provisions of the Articles of Association as of 23 March 2021, valid at the date of this Information Document.
Objective of the Company
Pursuant to section 3 of the Company's Articles of Association, the objective of the Company is to operate and own companies within consultancy, sale of software and other economic activities.
Registered office
Pursuant to section 2 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Company's registered office is in the municipality of Trondheim, Norway.
Share capital and par value
Pursuant to article 4 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Company's share capital is NOK 8,594,296.80 divided into 85,942,968 Shares, each Share with a par value of NOK 0.10. The Shares shall be registered with the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS).
No restrictions on transfer of Shares
Pursuant to article 6 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Shares are freely transferable, and transfers of Shares are not subject to approval by the Board of Directors.
9.5.2 Certain aspects of Norwegian law
General meetings
Through the general meeting, shareholders exercise supreme authority in a Norwegian company. In accordance with Norwegian law, the annual general meeting of shareholders is required to be held each year on or prior to 30 June. Norwegian law requires that written notice of annual general meetings setting forth the time of, the venue for and the agenda of the meeting be sent to all shareholders with a known address no later than 7 days before the annual general meeting of a Norwegian private limited liability company market shall be held, unless the articles of association stipulate a longer deadline, which is currently not the case for the Company.
A shareholder may vote at the general meeting either in person or by proxy appointed at their own discretion. Although Norwegian law does not require the Company to send proxy forms to its shareholders for general meetings, the Company plans to include a proxy form with notices of general meetings. All of the Company's shareholders who are registered in the register of shareholders maintained with the VPS as of the date of the general meeting, or who have otherwise reported and documented ownership to Shares, are entitled to participate at general meetings, without any requirement of pre-registration.
Apart from the annual general meeting, extraordinary general meetings of shareholders may be held if the board of directors considers it necessary. An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders must also be convened if, in order to discuss a specified matter, the Company's auditor or shareholders representing at least 10% of the share capital demands this in writing. The requirements for notice and admission to the annual general meeting also apply to extraordinary general meetings.
Voting rights – amendments to the Articles of Association
Each of the Company's Shares carries one vote. In general, decisions that shareholders are entitled to make under Norwegian law or the Company's Articles of Association may be made by a simple majority of the votes cast. In the case of elections or appointments, the person(s) who receive(s) the greatest number of votes cast are elected. However, as required under Norwegian law, certain decisions, including resolutions to waive preferential rights to subscribe in connection with any share issue in the Company, to approve a merger or demerger of the Company, to amend the Articles of Association, to authorize an increase or reduction in the share capital, to authorize an issuance of convertible loans or warrants by the Company or to authorize the Board of Directors to purchase Shares and hold them as treasury shares or to dissolve the Company, must receive the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast as well as at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at a general meeting. Norwegian law further requires that certain decisions, which have the effect of substantially altering the rights and preferences of any shares or class of shares, receive the approval by the holders of such shares or class of shares as well as the majority required for amending the articles of association.
Decisions that (i) would reduce the rights of some or all of the Company's shareholders in respect of dividend payments or other rights to assets or (ii) restrict the transferability of the Shares, require that at least 90% of the share capital represented at the general meeting in question vote in favour of the resolution, as well as the majority required for amending the articles of association.
In general, only a shareholder registered in the VPS is entitled to vote for such Shares. Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in the name of a nominee are generally not entitled to vote under Norwegian law, nor is any person who is designated in the VPS register as the holder of such Shares as nominees.
There are no quorum requirements that apply to the general meetings.
Additional issuances and preferential rights
If the Company issues any new Shares, including bonus share issues, the Company's Articles of Association must be amended, which requires the same vote as other amendments to the articles of association. In addition, under Norwegian law, the Company's shareholders have a preferential right to subscribe for new Shares issued by the Company. Preferential rights may be derogated from by resolution in a general meeting passed by the same vote required to amend the articles of association. A derogation of the shareholders' preferential rights in respect of bonus issues requires the approval of all outstanding Shares.
The general meeting may, by the same vote as is required for amending the articles of association, authorize the board of directors to issue new Shares, and to derogate from the preferential rights of shareholders in connection with such issuances. Such authorization may be effective for a maximum of two years, and the nominal value of the Shares to be issued may not exceed 50% of the registered par share capital when the authorization is registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises.
Under Norwegian law, the Company may increase its share capital by a bonus share issue, subject to approval by the Company's shareholders, by transfer from the Company's distributable equity or from the Company's share premium reserve and thus the share capital increase does not require any payment of a subscription price by the shareholders. Any bonus issues may be affected either by issuing new shares to the Company's existing shareholders or by increasing the nominal value of the Company's outstanding Shares.
Issuance of new Shares to shareholders who are citizens or residents of the United States and other jurisdictions upon the exercise of preferential rights may require the Company to file a registration statement or prospectus in the United States under United States securities laws or in such other jurisdictions under the laws of such jurisdictions. Should the Company in such a situation decide not to file a registration statement or prospectus, the Company's U.S. shareholders and shareholders in such other jurisdictions may not be able to exercise their preferential rights. To the extent that shareholders are not able to exercise their rights to subscribe for new shares, the value of their subscription rights will be lost and such shareholders' proportional ownership interests in the Company will be reduced.
Minority rights
Norwegian law sets forth a number of protections for minority shareholders of the Company, including, but not limited to, those described in this paragraph and the description of general meetings as set out above. Any of the Company's shareholders may petition Norwegian courts to have a decision of the board of directors or the Company's shareholders made at the general meeting declared invalid on the grounds that it unreasonably favours certain shareholders or third parties to the detriment of other shareholders or the Company itself. The Company's shareholders may also petition the courts to dissolve the Company as a result of such decisions to the extent particularly strong reasons are considered by the court to make necessary dissolution of the Company.
Minority shareholders holding 10% or more of the Company's share capital have a right to demand in writing that the Company's board of directors convene an extraordinary general meeting to discuss or resolve specific matters. In addition, any of the Company's shareholders may in writing demand that the Company place an item on the agenda for any general meeting as long as the Company is notified in time for such item to be included in the notice of the meeting. If the notice has been issued when such a written demand is presented, a renewed notice must be issued if the deadline for issuing notice of the general meeting has not expired.
Rights of redemption and repurchase of Shares
The share capital of the Company may be reduced by reducing the nominal value of the Shares or by cancelling Shares. Such a decision requires the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at a general meeting. Redemption of individual Shares requires the consent of the holders of the Shares to be redeemed.
The Company may purchase its own Shares provided that the board of directors has been granted an authorization to do so by a general meeting with the approval of at least two-thirds of the aggregate number of votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting. The aggregate nominal value of treasury shares so acquired, and held by the Company must not lead to the share capital with deduction of the aggregate nominal of the holding of own shares is less than the minimum allowed share capital of NOK 30,000, and treasury shares may only be acquired if the Company's distributable equity, according to the latest adopted balance sheet, exceeds the consideration to be paid for the shares. The authorization by the general meeting of the Company's shareholders cannot be granted for a period exceeding two years.
Shareholder vote on certain reorganizations
A decision of the Company's shareholders to merge with another company or to demerge requires a resolution by the general meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the general meeting. A merger plan, or demerger plan signed by the board of directors along with certain other required documentation, would have to be sent to all the Company's shareholders, or if the articles of association stipulate that, made available to the shareholders on the Company's website, at least one month prior to the general meeting to pass upon the matter.
Liability of board members
Board members owe a fiduciary duty to the Company and its shareholders. Such fiduciary duty requires that the board members act in the best interests of the Company when exercising their functions and exercise a general duty of loyalty and care towards the Company. Their principal task is to safeguard the interests of the Company.
Board members may each be held liable for any damage they negligently or wilfully cause the Company. Norwegian law permits the general meeting to discharge any such person from liability, but such discharge is not binding on the Company if substantially correct and complete information was not provided at the general meeting passing upon the matter. If a resolution to discharge the Company's board members from liability or not to pursue claims against such a person has been passed by a general meeting with a smaller majority than that required to amend the articles of association, shareholders representing more than 10% of the share capital or, if there are more than 100 shareholders, more than 10% of the shareholders may pursue the claim on the Company's behalf and in its name. The cost of any such action is not the Company's responsibility but can be recovered from any proceeds the Company receives as a result of the action. If the decision to discharge any of the Company's board members from liability or not to pursue claims against the Company's board members is made by such a majority as is necessary to amend the articles of association, the minority shareholders of the Company cannot pursue such claim in the Company's name.
Indemnification of board members
Neither Norwegian law nor the Articles of Association contains any provision concerning indemnification by the Company of the Board of Directors. The Company is permitted to purchase insurance for the board members against certain liabilities that they may incur in their capacity as such.
Distribution of assets on liquidation
Under Norwegian law, the Company may be wound-up by a resolution of the Company's shareholders at the general meeting passed by at least two-thirds of the aggregate votes cast and at least two-thirds of the share capital represented at the meeting. In the event of liquidation, the Shares rank equally in the event of a return on capital.
9.6 Corporate governance
The Company is not subject to the Norwegian Corporate Governance Code, but the Company will consider to adhere to the requirements of the Norwegian Corporate Governance Code on a voluntary basis at a later time.
9.7 Dividend policy
9.7.1 Policy
As of the date of this Information Document, the Board of Directors has not determined any specific dividend policy.
Pursuant to the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act, dividends may only be declared to the extent that the Company has distributable funds and the Company's Board of Directors finds such a declaration to be prudent in consideration of the size, nature, scope and risks associated with the Company's operations and the need to strengthen its liquidity and financial position. Apart from this, there are no formal restrictions on the distribution of dividends. However, as the Company's ability to pay dividends is dependent on the availability of distributable reserves, it is, among other things, dependent upon receipt of dividends and other distributions of value from its subsidiaries and companies in which the Company may invest.
9.7.2 Legal and contractual constraints on the distribution of dividends
In deciding whether to propose a dividend and in determining the dividend amount in the future, the Board of Directors must take into account applicable legal restrictions, as set out in the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act, the Company's capital requirements, including capital expenditure requirements, its financial condition, general business conditions and any restrictions that its contractual arrangements in force at the time of the dividend may place on its ability to pay dividends and the maintenance of appropriate financial flexibility. Except in certain specific and limited circumstances set out in the Norwegian Private Companies Act, the amount of dividends paid may not exceed the amount recommended by the Board of Directors.
Dividends may be paid in cash or in some instances in kind. The Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act provides the following constraints on the distribution of dividends applicable to the Company:
- Section 8-1 of the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act regulates what may be distributed as dividend, and provides that the Company may distribute dividends only to the extent that the Company after said distribution still has net assets to cover (i) the share capital and (ii) other restricted equity (i.e. the reserve for unrealized gains and the reserve for valuation of differences).
- The calculation of the distributable equity shall be made on the basis of the balance sheet included in the approved annual accounts for the last financial year, provided, however, that the registered share capital as of the date of the resolution to distribute dividend shall be applied. Following the approval of the annual accounts for the last financial year, the General Meeting may also authorize the Board of Directors to declare dividends on the basis of the Company's annual accounts. Dividends may also be resolved by the General Meeting based on an interim balance sheet which has been prepared and audited in accordance with the provisions applying to the annual accounts and with a balance sheet date not further into the past than six months before the date of the General Meeting's resolution.
- Dividends can only be distributed to the extent that the Company's equity and liquidity following the distribution is considered sound.
Pursuant to the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act, the time when an entitlement to dividend arises depends on what was resolved by the General Meeting when it resolved to issue new shares in the company. A subscriber of new shares in a Norwegian private limited company will normally be entitled to dividends from the time when the relevant share capital increase is registered with the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. The Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act does not provide for any time limit after which entitlement to dividends lapses. Subject to various exceptions, Norwegian law provides a limitation period of three years from the date on which an obligation is due. There are no dividend restrictions or specific procedures for non-Norwegian resident shareholders to claim dividends. For a description of withholding tax on dividends applicable to non-Norwegian residents, see Section 10.2.1 ("Taxation of dividends").
9.7.3 Manner of dividend payments
Any future payments of dividends on the Shares will be denominated in the currency of the bank account of the relevant shareholder, and will be paid to the shareholders through the VPS Registrar. Shareholders registered in the VPS who have not supplied the VPS Registrar with details of their bank account, will not receive payment of dividends unless they register their bank account details with the VPS Registrar. The exchange rate(s) applied when denominating any future payments of dividends to the relevant shareholder's currency will be the VPS Registrar's exchange rate on the payment date. Dividends will be credited automatically to the VPS registered shareholders' accounts, or in lieu of such registered account, at the time when the shareholder has provided the VPS Registrar with their bank account details, without the need for shareholders to present documentation proving their ownership of the Shares. Shareholders' right to payment of dividend will lapse three years following the resolved payment date for those shareholders who have not registered their bank account details with the VPS Registrar within such date. Following the expiry of such date, the remaining, not distributed dividend will be returned from the VPS Registrar to the Company.
9.8 Takeover bids and forced transfers of shares
The Company is not subject to the takeover regulations set out in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, or otherwise.
The Shares are, however, subject to the provisions on compulsory transfer of shares as set out in the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act. If a private limited liability company alone, or through subsidiaries, owns 9/10 or more of the shares in the subsidiary, and may exercise a corresponding part of the votes that may be cast in the general meeting, the board of directors of the parent company may resolve that the parent company shall take over the remaining shares in the company. Each of the other shareholders in the subsidiary have the right to require the parent company to take over the shares. The parent company shall give the shareholders a redemption offer pursuant to the provisions of the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act. The redemption amount will in the absence of agreement or acceptance of the offer be fixed by a discretionary valuation.
9.9 Insider trading
According to the Market Abuse Regulation (EU) No. 596/2014, "MAR"), as implemented through the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, subscription, purchase, sale or exchange of financial instruments that are admitted to trading, or subject to an application for admission to trading on a Norwegian Regulated Market or a Norwegian Multilateral Trading Facility, or incitement to such dispositions, must not be undertaken by anyone who has inside information. Inside information is defined in Article 7(1)(a) of MAR and refers to precise information about financial instruments issued by the Company admitted to trading, about the Company admitted to trading itself or about other circumstances which are likely to have a noticeable effect on the price of financial instruments issued by the Company admitted to trading, and which is not publicly available or commonly known in the market. Information that is likely to have a noticeable effect on the price shall be understood to mean information that a rational investor would probably make use of as part of the basis for his investment decision. The same applies to the entry into, purchase, sale or exchange of options or futures/ forward contracts or equivalent rights whose value is connected to such financial instruments or incitement to such dispositions. Breach of insider trading obligations may be sanctioned and lead to criminal charges.
10 NORWEGIAN TAXATION
This section describes certain tax rules in Norway applicable to shareholders who are resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Norwegian Shareholders") and to shareholders who are not resident in Norway for tax purposes ("Non-Resident Shareholders"). The statements herein regarding taxation are based on the laws in force in Norway as of the date of this Information Document and are subject to any changes in law occurring after such date. Such changes could possibly be made on a retrospective basis. The following summary does not purport to be a comprehensive description of all the tax considerations that may be relevant to a decision to purchase, own or dispose of the Shares. Investors are advised to consult their own tax advisors concerning the overall tax consequences of their ownership of Shares. The statements only apply to shareholders who are beneficial owners of Shares. Please note that for the purpose of the summary below, references to Norwegian Shareholders or Non-Resident Shareholders refers to the tax residency rather than the nationality of the shareholder. Please also note that the tax legislation in the Company's jurisdiction of incorporation and the tax legislation in the jurisdictions in which the shareholders are resident for tax purposes may have an impact on the income received from the Shares.
10.1 Norwegian shareholders
10.1.1 Taxation of dividends
Norwegian corporate shareholders (i.e. limited liability companies and similar entities) ("Norwegian Corporate Shareholders") are comprised by the Norwegian participation exemption. Under the exemption, only 3 % of dividend income on shares in Norwegian limited liability companies is subject to tax as ordinary income (22 % flat rate as of 2021), implying that such dividends are effectively taxed at a rate of 0.66 %. For Norwegian Corporate Shareholders that are considered to be "Financial Institutions" under the Norwegian financial activity tax the effective rate of taxation for dividends is 0.75 %.
Dividends distributed to Norwegian shareholders that are individuals (i.e. shareholders who are natural persons) Norwegian Individual Shareholders") are grossed up with a factor of 1.44 before taxed as ordinary income (22 % flat rate, resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.68 %) to the extent the dividend exceeds a tax-free allowance.
The tax-free allowance is calculated on a share-by-share basis for each individual shareholder on the basis of the cost price of each of the Shares multiplied by a risk-free interest rate. The risk-free interest rate is based on the effective rate of interest on treasury bills (Nw: statskasseveksler) with three months maturity plus 0.5 percentage points, after tax. The tax-free allowance is calculated for each calendar year and is allocated solely to Norwegian Individual Shareholders holding Shares at the expiration of the relevant calendar year. Norwegian Individual Shareholders who transfer Shares will thus not be entitled to deduct any calculated allowance related to the year of transfer. Any part of the calculated tax-free allowance one year exceeding the dividend distributed on the Share ("unused allowance") may be carried forward and set off against future dividends received on (or gains upon realization of, see below) the same Share. Any unused allowance will also be added to the basis of computation of the tax-free allowance on the same Share the following year.
The Shares will not qualify for Norwegian share saving accounts (Nw: aksjesparekonto) for Norwegian Individual Shareholders as the shares are listed on Euronext Growth (and not Oslo Børs or Euronext Expand).
10.1.2 Taxation of capital gains
Sale, redemption or other disposal of Shares is considered as a realization for Norwegian tax purposes.
Capital gains generated by Norwegian Corporate Shareholders through a realization of shares in Norwegian limited liability companies, such as the Company, are comprised by the Norwegian participation exemption and therefore tax exempt. Net losses from realization of Shares and costs incurred in connection with the purchase and realization of such Shares are not tax deductible for Norwegian Corporate Shareholders.
Norwegian Individual Shareholders are taxable in Norway for capital gains derived from realization of Shares and have a corresponding right to deduct losses. This applies irrespective of how long the Shares have been owned by the individual shareholder and irrespective of how many Shares that are realized. Gains are taxable as ordinary income in the year of realization and losses can be deducted from ordinary income in the year of realization. Any gain or loss is grossed up with a factor of 1.44 before taxed at a rate of 22 % (resulting in an effective tax rate of 31.68 %). Under current tax rules, gain or loss is calculated per Share, as the difference between the consideration received for the Share and the Norwegian Individual Shareholder's cost price for the Share, including costs incurred in connection with the acquisition or realization of the Share. Any unused taxfree allowance connected to a Share may be deducted from a capital gain on the same Share but may not create or increase a deductible loss. Further, unused tax-free allowance related to a Share cannot be set off against gains from realization of other Shares.
If a Norwegian shareholder realizes Shares acquired at different points in time, the Shares that were first acquired will be deemed as first sold (the "first in first out"-principle) upon calculating taxable gain or loss. Costs incurred in connection with the purchase and sale of Shares may be deducted in the year of sale.
A shareholder who ceases to be tax resident in Norway due to domestic law or tax treaty provisions may become subject to Norwegian exit taxation of capital gains related to shares in certain circumstances.
10.1.3 Net wealth tax
The value of Shares is taken into account for net wealth tax purposes in Norway. The marginal net wealth tax rate is currently 0.85 % of the value assessed. The value for assessment purposes for the Shares is equal to 55 % of the total tax value of the Company as of 1 January of the year before the tax assessment year. However, if the share capital in the Company has been increased or reduced by payment from or to shareholders in the year before the tax assessment year, the value for assessment purposes for the Shares is equal to 55% of the total tax value of the Company as of 1 January of the tax assessment year. The value of debt allocated to the Shares for Norwegian wealth tax purposes is reduced correspondingly (i.e. to 55%).
Norwegian limited liability companies and similar entities are exempted from net wealth tax.
10.2 Non-Resident Shareholders
10.2.1 Taxation of dividends
Dividends paid from a Norwegian limited liability company to Non-Resident Shareholders are generally subject to Norwegian withholding tax at a rate of 25% unless the recipient qualifies for a reduced rate according to an applicable tax treaty or other specific regulations. The shareholder's country of residence may give credit for the Norwegian withholding tax imposed on the dividend.
If a Non-Resident Shareholder is carrying on business activities in Norway and the Shares are effectively connected with such activities, the Non-Resident Shareholder will be subject to the same taxation of dividend as a Norwegian Shareholder, as described above.
Non-Resident Shareholders that are corporate shareholders (i.e. limited liability companies and similar entities) ("Foreign Corporate Shareholders") resident within the EEA are exempt from Norwegian withholding tax pursuant to the Norwegian participation exemption provided that the Foreign Corporate Shareholder is genuinely established and carries out genuine economic activities within the EEA.
Dividends paid to Non-Resident Shareholders that are individual shareholders (i.e. shareholders who are natural persons) ("Foreign Individual Shareholders") are as the main rule subject to Norwegian withholding tax at a rate of 25%, unless a lower rate has been agreed in an applicable tax treaty. If the individual shareholder is resident within the EEA, the shareholder may apply to the tax authorities for a refund of an amount corresponding to the calculated tax-free allowance on each individual share, see Section 10.1.1 ("Taxation of dividends"). However, the deduction for the tax-free allowance does not apply in the event that the withholding tax rate, pursuant to an applicable tax treaty, leads to a lower taxation on the dividends than the withholding tax rate of 25% less the tax-free allowance.
In accordance with the present administrative system in Norway, a distributing company will generally deduct withholding tax at the applicable rate when dividends are paid directly to an eligible Foreign Shareholder, based on information registered with the VPS. Foreign Corporate and Individual Shareholders must document their entitlement to a reduced withholding tax rate by (i) obtaining a certificate of residence issued by the tax authorities in the shareholder's country of residence, confirming that the shareholder is resident in that state, which cannot be older than three years, and (ii) providing a confirmation from the shareholder that the shareholder is the beneficial owner of the dividend. In addition, Foreign Corporate Shareholders must also present either (i) an approved withholding tax refund application or (ii) an approval from the Norwegian tax authorities confirming that the recipient is entitled to a reduced withholding tax rate or a withholding tax exemption. Such documentation must be provided to either the nominee or the account operator (VPS). Dividends paid to Non-Resident Shareholders in respect of nominee registered shares are not eligible for reduced treaty withholding tax rate at the time of payment unless the nominee, by agreeing to provide certain information regarding beneficial owner, has obtained approval for reduced treaty withholding tax rate from the Norwegian tax authorities. The withholding obligation lies with the company distributing the dividends and the Company assumes this obligation.
Foreign Individual and Corporate Shareholders who have suffered a higher withholding tax than set out in an applicable tax treaty may apply to the Norwegian tax authorities for a refund of the excess withholding tax deducted. The same will apply to Foreign Corporate Shareholders that have suffered withholding tax although qualifying for the Norwegian participation exemption.
Non-Resident Shareholders should consult their own advisers regarding the availability of treaty benefits in respect of dividend payments.
10.2.2 Taxation of capital gains
Gains from realization of Shares by Non-Resident Shareholders will not be subject to tax in Norway unless the Non-Resident Shareholders are holding the Shares in connection with business activities carried out or managed from Norway. Such taxation may be limited according to an applicable tax treaty or other specific regulations.
10.2.3 Net Wealth Tax
Non-Resident Shareholders are not subject to Norwegian net wealth tax with respect to the Shares, unless the shareholder is an individual, and the shareholding is effectively connected with a business which the
shareholder takes part in or carries out in Norway. Such taxation may be limited according to an applicable tax treaty.
10.3 Transfer taxes etc., VAT
No transfer taxes, stamp duty or similar taxes are currently imposed in Norway on purchase, issuance, disposal or redemption of shares. Further, there is no VAT on transfer of shares.
11 SELLING AND TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS
11.1 General

Årsberetning 2020
Ørn Software Holding AS er konsernspiss i Ørn Software konsernet (eller gruppen) etter en intern omorganisering høsten 2020.
Virksomhetens art og hvor den drives
Ørn Software er et ledende nordisk programvareselskap og har løsninger for effektiv forvaltning, drift og vedlikehold i et bredt spekter av næringer, som eiendom, industri og havbruk. Selskapets løsninger gir kundene et bedre overblikk og kontroll på eiendelene sine, og bidrar med å redusere kostnader, øke effektivitet, øke oppetid, forlenge levetid, redusere miljøfotavtrykk og å levere på rapporteringskrav.
Konsernet har etter flere oppkjøp i 2020 en dominerende markedsposisjon i Norge og på Island, en betydelig tilstedeværelse i Sverige og Danmark og har ambisjoner om å bli ledende i Norden. Mer enn 1.000 bedrifter og over 175.000 mennesker benytter selskapets løsninger på daglig basis. Blant brukerne finnes noen av Nordens største industriforetak og eiendomsforvaltere.
Konsernets nye hovedkontor er i Trondheim i Norge med avdelingskontorer i Moss, Bergen, Oslo, Florø, Ängleholm, København og Reykjavik.
Analyse av konsernregnskapet og sentrale risikoer og usikkerhetsfaktorer
Driftsinntekter i 2020 var MNOK 81,9 (MNOK 67,7 i 2019). Driftskostnadene i 2020 var MNOK 85,3 (MNOK 67,3 i 2019). Totale avskrivninger i 2020 var 21,3 MNOK (16 MNOK i 2019). I 2019 ble det i tillegg foretatt nedskrivninger på 1 MNOK knyttet til software utvikling (FOU) av et produkt som var besluttet nedlagt. Denne softwaren ble solgt i 2020. Rapportert driftsresultat før avskrivninger og nedskrivninger (EBITDA) i 2020 var 17,9 MNOK (17,3 MNOK i 2019). Netto finansposter utgjorde i 2020 -2,7 MNOK (-1,1 MNOK i 2019). Rapportert resultat før skatt i 2020 ble -6,1 MNOK (-0,7 MNOK i 2019). Skatt på ordinært resultat i 2020 ble en inntekt på 1,7 MNOK (skattekostnad på -1,8 MNOK i 2019). Årsresultatet endte i 2020 på -4,4 MNOK (-2,5 MNOK i 2019). Konsernregnskapet til Ørn Software er avlagt etter NGAAP som medfører at goodwill avskrives i regnskapene, uten dette ville årsresultatet i 2020 blitt +0,05 MNOK. Konsernets samlede eiendeler er fordelt mellom 181,4 MNOK i anleggsmidler (59,6 MNOK i 2019), 83,2 MNOK i omløpsmidler (7 MNOK i 2019) hvor av 65,3 MNOK (2,3 MNOK i 2019) er bankinnskudd. Av selskapets samlede gjeld på 186,1 MNOK (31,7 MNOK) er 116,6 MNOK (13,7 MNOK i 2019) langsiktig.
Morselskapet hadde i 2020 et årsresultat på -2.085 NOK. Årsresultat foreslås overført fra annen egenkapital.
Finansielle forhold
Ved årsskiftet var konsernets egenkapital på 78,6 MNOK (35 MNOK i 2019), og egenkapitalandelen var på 29,7 % (52,5% i 2019). Morselskapet hadde en egenkapital på 78,2 MNOK i 2020 som tilsvarte 93,3%.
Forskning og utviklingsaktivitet
Ørn Software jobber kontinuerlig med å fornye sine produkter og tekniske plattformer for å sikre langsiktige konkurransedyktighet, for å kunne effektuere operasjonelle synergier ved eventuell fremtidige oppkjøp og for å kunne effektivisere sin egen produktforvaltning.

Fortsatt drift
Konsernet har vist sterk utvikling i verdien av de lisensbaserte abonnementene gjennom 2020, samt i starten av 2021. Styret forventer at denne positive utviklingen skal fortsette i 2021, utviklingen i COVID-19 har heller ikke påvirket konsernet direkte. Årsregnskapet er satt opp under forutsetningen om fortsatt drift og styret mener det er godt grunnlag for å legge denne forutsetningen til grunn.
Utsikter for 2021
Konsernet har en tydelig strategi og en gjennomarbeidet plan for utviklingen i årene fremover. Selskapet har i 2020 investert i etablering av ny teknisk plattform, som skal danne grunnlaget for alle framtidige produkter. Plattformen er fleksibel og skalerbar, og vil gjøre det enklere å få ny funksjonalitet ut i marked, samt hekte på oppkjøpt teknologi slik at man enklere kan levere på kundenes spesifikke behov. Det er videre investert i oppkjøp av fire selskaper, to i Norge, et i Sverige og et på Island. Resultatet av disse investeringene har vist svært positiv effekt i 2020, og styret forventer en fortsatt positiv utvikling i 2021. Konsernet er tilfredsstillende kapitalisert, og vil ikke ha behov for ytterligere kapital med dagens selskaper i porteføljen. Konsernet forventer ingen spesiell negativ påvirkning av COVID-19 i 2021.
Vesentlige hendelser i 2020
Konsernet har i løpet av 2020 gjennomført til sammen fire oppkjøp. To i januar 2020 (Pixelwerk AS og View Software Sweden AB) samt to i desember 2020 (konsernet MainManager Ehf og konsernet Entro IT AS). Kjøpene har vært med å styrke konsernet og forventes at det vil fortsette å styrke konsernet i årene fremover. Det henvises til notene for hvordan disse har påvirket konsernregnskapet for 2020.
Risiko
Valutarisiko
Den primære valutarisikoen er knyttet til et SEK nominert fasilitetslån på inntil SEK 500 millioner utstedt i november 2020. Pr. 31.12 er det trukket opp SEK 115 millioner på dette lånet. NOK har gjennom 2020 vært volatil, og blitt betydelig svekket mot SEK, mye grunnet COVID-19 og den indirekte innvirkningen på oljeprisen. Konsernet har ikke inngått noen sikringsinstrumenter knyttet til opptrukken fasilitet. Annen valutarisiko anses lav, selskaper i konsernet har primært inntekter og kostnader i samme valuta.
Renterisiko
Konsernets renterisiko er relatert til fasilitetslånet i SEK. Konsernets rentebelastning er her knyttet til STIBOR med tillegg for en kontantrente (4,75%) som betales kvartalsvis og en PIK rente (3,75%) som kapitaliseres på lånet frem til forfall. Selskapet er ikke eksponert for annen renterisiko.
Likviditetsrisiko
Konsernet er i en vekstfase og har sikret tilstrekkelige fleksibilitet gjennom eksisterende bankbeholdning, opptrekks muligheter både gjennom SEK nominert fasilitetslån samt ubenyttet kassekreditt på NOK 7 millioner i forhold til selskapets kortsiktige kapitalbehov. Ledelsen har videre løpende fokus på å holde arbeidskapitalen på et akseptabelt nivå, noe også selskapets avtalestruktur knyttet til fakturering av gjentakende kontrakter legger grunnlaget for. Eventuell videre vekst vil bli fundet gjennom en kombinasjon av opptrekks muligheter på fasilitetslån og egenkapitalfinansiering. Selskapet overholdt pr. 31.12 sine finansielle lånebetingelser som angitt i note 6.
Kredittrisiko
Kredittrisikoen er vurdert til å være akseptabel, selskapet har historisk lite tap på kundefordringer, og en stabil kundemasse som følger avtalte betalingsvilkår.
Konsernet har hatt tilfredsstillende kontantstrøm fra den underliggende driften i 2020, og styret forventer at denne skal styrkes ytterligere i 2021.

Organisasjon
Ettersom konsernet gjennomfører oppkjøp, vil det løpende være behov for å vurdere endringer organisering og sammensetning av kompetanse. Det var nødvendig å løpende vurdere konsoliderende tiltak for å få ut synergier fra oppkjøp, slik at selskapet ressursbase kan optimaliseres.
Bedrift og samfunn
Ørn har som mål å være en attraktiv arbeidsgiver, en foretrukket partner for forretningsforbindelser, samt en respektert samfunnsaktør som driver virksomheten sin på et bærekraftig, etisk og sosialt vis. Ørns viktigste bidrag til samfunnet er å skape verdier, gode arbeidsplasser og utvikle fremtidsrettede produkter som hjelper brukerne å øke sin produktivitet og kontrollere og redusere sine utslipp av klimagasser og andre former for forurensning. Vi skaper også samfunnsverdier gjennom utvikling og innovasjon. Selskapets virksomhet belaster det eksterne miljø slik det er normalt for denne type virksomhet. I 2021 vil vi igangsette arbeidet med å utarbeide en bærekraftsrapport som vil inngå i Ørns årsrapport. Det vises for øvrig til selskapets policy-dokument for ESG som er tilgjengelig på selskapets hjemmesider.
Likestilling
Av konsernets 7 ledende ansatte, er 6 menn og 1 kvinne. I styret sitter det per i dag kun menn, men det vil på ordinær generalforsamling bli fremmet forsalg om nytt kvinnelig styremedlem. Fordelingen menn/kvinner i selskapet er i dag 80/20. Konsernet er bevisst på at det ikke skal forekomme forskjellsbehandling blant ansatte, og ønsker å være en attraktiv arbeidsplass, uavhengig av kjønn eller andre forhold. Ørn Software vil fortsette å jobbe for å øke kvinneandelen i selskapet.
Ikke-diskriminering og tilgjengelighet
Styret vurderer arbeidsmiljøet til å være godt på alle kontor. Konsernet har stort fokus på at de ansatte skal ha det fint på arbeidsplassen sin og at de skal utvikle seg som enkeltpersoner. Siden 2018 har konsernet hatt en dedikert HR-leder, som også sitter i ledergruppen. Det gjøres kontinuerlig arbeid for å sikre et godt arbeidsmiljø, samt påse at man har gode rutiner som ivaretar de ansattes på en god måte og som legger til rette for personlig utvikling. Registrert sykefravær var gjennom 2020 på 2,65 %. Det er ikke meldt om skader eller ulykker på arbeidsplassene i løpet av året. Det har ikke inntruffet nye hendelser så langt i 2021.

Note 1. Regnskapsprinsipper
Ørn Software Holding AS er et norsk aksjeselskap, med forretningsadresse Basengbakken 4 i Trondheim. Selskapet skiftet i forbindelse med en konsernintern reorganisering (se under) navn fra Dash Software AS til View Software Holding AS i november 2020, før selskapet den 16. februar 2021 skiftet navn til Ørn Software Holding AS.
Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og god regnskapsskikk for øvrige foretak.
Reorganisering og konsolidering
I 2019 utarbeidet ikke selskapet konsernregnskap, iht unntaksreglene i regnskapsloven 3-9, da det ikke var vesentlig for å bedømme konsernets resultat og stilling. Morselskapet hadde et datterselskap, Dash Software AS (som nå er blitt morselskap). Siden selskapet nå er blitt morselskap, er sammenligningstallene omarbeidet, resultat før og etter skatt er redusert med NOK 3 000, omløpsmidler (bankinnskudd) økt med NOK 25 000 og egenkapitalen økt med NOK 25 000.
Det ble i 2020 gjennomført en reorganisering av eierskapet til Ørn Software AS (tidligere View Sofware AS, og tidligere konsernspiss) med etablering av Selskapet som nytt morselskap i konsernet. Selskapet var frem til reorganiseringen ett datterselskap av Ørn Software AS. Reorganiseringen ble gjennomført gjennom en serie av transaksjoner hvor aksjonærene i Ørn Software gjennomførte et tingsinnskudd av aksjene i Ørn Software AS inn i Selskapet, mot vederlagsaksjer i Selskapet. Regnskapsmessig ble transaksjonen vurdert til å være en konsernintern omorganisering med uendret eierskap. Med analogi til "pooling of interest method" konsernverdier ble videreført i det nye konsernet, herunder at konsernregnskapet presenteres som om Selskapet også historisk har vært konsernspiss noe som innebærer at sammenligningstall også er videreført.
Vesentlige hendelser i 2020
Datterselskapet Ørn Software AS, har gjennom 2020 gjennomført flere oppkjøp. Den 10. januar 2020 ble selskapene View Software Sweden AB (tidl. Avector AB) og Pixelwerk AS ervervet. Pixelwerk AS ble påfølgende fusjonert inn i Ørn Software AS som en ordinær mor datterfusjon basert på konsernkontinuitet og skattemessig kontinuitet. Selskapene er innarbeidet i konsernregnskapet fra gjennomføringstidspunktet.
Ultimo desember 2020 kjøpte datterselskapet Ørn Software AS selskapene Entro IT AS og MainManager Ehf samt deres datterselskaper. Selskapene er konsolidert inn fra oppkjøpstidspunktet, og er således reflektert i balansen pr. 31. desember 2020.
Konsernstruktur
Per 31.12.2020 består konsernregnskapet til Ørn Software Holding AS av følgende datterselskaper og datterdatterselskaper:
Ørn Software Holding AS, morselskap
Ørn Software AS, datter
- View Software Sweden AB, datterdatter
-
MainManger Ehf konsern, datterdatter
-
Entro IT AS konsern, datterdatter
I MainManager Ehf konsernet inngår deres datterselskaper MainManger Norge AS og MainManager Denmark As.
I Entro IT konsern inngår datterselskapet Entro AB.
Fortsatt drift
Regnskapet er avlagt under forutsetningen om fortsatt drift.
Konsolidering og oppkjøp
Konsernregnskapet inkluderer datterselskaper hvor selskapet har bestemmende innflytelse. Bestemmende innflytelse oppnås normalt når konsernet eier mer enn 50 % av aksjene i selskapet, og konsernet er i stand til å utøve faktisk kontroll over selskapet. Selskapet har pr. 31.12.2020 kun datterselskaper med 100 % eierskap (og stemmerettighet). Transaksjoner og mellomværende mellom selskapene i konsernet er eliminert. Konsernregnskapet er utarbeidet etter ensartede prinsipper, ved at datterselskapet følger de samme regnskapsprinsipper som morselskapet.
Ørn Software Holding AS, konsern Noter til årsregnskapet 2020
Oppkjøpsmetoden benyttes ved regnskapsføring av virksomhetssammenslutninger. Selskaper som er kjøpt eller solgt i løpet av året inkluderes i konsernregnskapet fra det tidspunktet kontroll oppnås og inntil kontroll opphører. Dersom det foreligger betingede forpliktelser (i.e earn-out) i forbindelse med oppkjøp foretas det en avsetning dersom det er sannsynlighetsovervekt for at den betingede forpliktelsen vil inntreffe. Videre utføres det en foreløpig merverdianalyse, hvor anskaffelskost tilordnes identifiserbare eiendeler og gjeld. Eventuell merverdi utover identifiserbare eiendeler henføres til goodwill. Det avsettes videre for utsatt skatt knyttet til merverdier, med motpost goodwill (såkalt teknisk goodwill). Merverdier og og goodwill avskrives lineært over gjenværende forvente levetid.
Valuta
Konsernets presentasjonsvaluta er norske kroner (NOK), som også er morselskapets funksjonelle og presentasjonsvaluta. Transaksjoner i utenlandsk valuta omregnes til kursen på transaksjonstidspunktet. Pengeposter i utenlandsk valuta omregnes til norske kroner ved å benytte balansedagens kurs. Ikke-pengeposter som måles til historisk kurs uttrykt i utenlandsk valuta, omregnes til norske kroner ved å benytte valutakursen på transaksjonstidspunktet. Ikke-pengeposter som måles til virkelig verdi uttrykt i utenlandsk valuta, omregnes til valutakursen fastsatt på måletidspunktet. Valutakursendringer resultatføres løpende i regnskapsperioden under andre finansposter, mens omregningsdifferanser knyttet til konsolidering av datterselskaper med annen funksjonell valuta enn NOK føres mot egenkapital.
Salgsinntekter
Selskapets inntekter består primært av inntekter knyttet til "Software as a Solution" tjenester. Inntektsføringen skjer lineært i samsvar med den underliggende avtalen, en stor del av selskapets avtaler er gjentakende.
Vurdering og klassifisering av balanseposter
Eiendeler bestemt til varig eie eller bruk er klassifisert som anleggsmidler. Eiendeler som er knyttet til varekretsløpet er klassifisert som omløpsmidler. Fordringer klassifiseres som omløpsmidler hvis de skal tilbakebetales i løpet av ett år. For gjeld er analoge kriterier lagt til grunn. Første års avdrag på langsiktige fordringer og langsiktig gjeld klassifiseres likevel ikke som omløpsmiddel og kortsiktig gjeld.
Fordringer
Kundefordringer og andre fordringer er oppført i balansen til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning for tap gjøres på grunnlag av individuelle vurderinger av de enkelte fordringene. I tillegg gjøres det for øvrige kundefordringer en uspesifisert avsetning for å dekke antatt tap.
Pensjonsforpliktelser
Selskapet har innskuddsbasert tjenestepensjonsavtale gjennom en forsikringsavtale som tilfredsstiller kravene i eksisterende lovgivning på området. Årets betalte premie er kostnadsført i resultatregnskapet.
Forskning og utvikling
Selskapets forsknings- og utviklingskostnader vurderes separat. Utgifter til utvikling balanseføres i den grad det kan identifiseres en fremtidig økonomisk fordel knyttet til utvikling av en identifiserbar immaterielle eiendel og utgiftene kan måles pålitelig. I motsatt fall kostnadsføres slike utgifter løpende. Balanseført utvikling avskrives lineært over forventet økonomisk levetid. Utgifter til forskning kostnadsføres løpende.
Varige driftsmidler
Varige driftsmidler balanseføres og avskrives lineært over driftsmidlets forventede levetid. Vesentlige driftsmidler som består av betydelige komponenter med ulik levetid er dekomponert med ulik avskrivningstid for de ulike komponentene. Direkte vedlikehold av driftsmidler kostnadsføres løpende under driftskostnader, mens påkostninger eller forbedringer tillegges driftsmidlets kostpris og avskrives i takt med driftsmidlet. Dersom gjenvinnbart beløp av driftsmiddelet er lavere enn balanseført verdi foretas nedskrivning til gjenvinnbart beløp. Gjenvinnbart beløp er det høyeste av netto salgsverdi og verdi i bruk. Verdi i bruk er nåverdien av de fremtidige kontantstrømmene som eiendelen forventes å generere.
Nedskrivningsvurderinger immaterielle eiendeler (goodwill og aktivert utvikling med definert levetid)
Goodwill og immaterielle eiendeler avskrives lineært etter første gangs innregning.
Ved eventuelle indikatorer på varig verdifall, foretas det en nedskrivningsvurdering til estimert gjennvinbart beløp. Dersom gjenvinnbart beløp av goodwill eller andre immaterielle eiendeler er lavere enn balanseført verdi foretas nedskrivning til gjenvinnbart beløp. Gjenvinnbart beløp er det høyeste av netto salgsverdi og verdi i bruk. Verdi i bruk er nåverdien av den kontantstrømsgenererende enheten sine forventede kontantstrømmer. Eventuelle nedskrivninger kan ikke reverseres.
Offentlige tilskudd
Mottatt offentlige tilskudd knyttet til forskningsaktivert som er kostnadsført, føres som kostnadsreduksjon. Tilskudd knyttet til aktiverte utviklingskostnader føres som reduksjon av aktiverte beløp.
Opsjoner til ansatte
Konsernet har en aksjebasert avlønningsplan med oppgjør i Selskapets aksjer. Ved tildeling foretas det en verdimåling av opsjonenes egen og tidsverdi som kostnadsføres over opptjeningsperioden, med motpost annen innskutt egenkapital. Selskapet benytter black & Schooles opsjonsprisingsmodell for verdsettelse av opsjoner. Ved overgang til regnskapsregler for øvrige og store foretak i 2020, har selskapet anvendt forenklingsmetoden, og kostnadsført også tidligere års opsjonskostnad i 2020. Det foretas avsetning for arbeidsgiveravgift på egenverdien av opsjoner.
Lån
Lån regnskapsføres til virkelig verdi når utbetaling av lånet finner sted, med fradrag for transaksjonskostnader. I etterfølgende perioder regnskapsføres lån til amortisert kost beregnet ved bruk av effektiv rente. Lån klassifiseres som kortsiktig gjeld, med mindre det foreligger en ubetinget rett til å utsette betaling i mer enn 12 måneder fra balansedato.
Kontantstrømsoppstilling
Kontantstrømoppstillingen utarbeides etter den indirekte metoden. Kontanter og kontantekvivalenter omfatter kontanter, bankinnskudd og andre kortsiktige, likvide plasseringer som umiddelbart og med uvesentlig kursrisiko kan konverteres til kjente kontantbeløp og med gjenværende løpetid mindre enn tre måneder fra anskaffelsesdato.
Skatt
Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt beregnes med aktuell skattesats på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt eventuelt skattemessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Underskudd til fremføring og eventuelle andre netto skattefordeler balanseføres kun dersom det er sannsynlig at den kan bli utnyttet. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reversere i samme periode og innenfor samme skattejurisdiksjon er utlignet.
Betalbar skatt og utsatt skatt er regnskapsført direkte mot egenkapitalen i den grad skattepostene relaterer seg til poster ført direkte mot egenkapitalen.
Vesentlige estimater og skjønnsmessige vurderinger
Ledelsen har brukt estimater og forutsetninger som har påvirket resultatregnskapet og verdsettelsen av eiendeler og gjeld, samt usikre eiendeler og forpliktelser på balansedagen under utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet i henhold til god regnskapsskikk. I vurderingen av estimater har også ledelsen lagt til grunn generell økt usikkerhet i markedet, oppstått på bakgrunn av COVID-19. Regnskapet er påvirket av følgende vesentlige estimater og skjønnsmessige vurderinger;
Allokering av merverdier i forbindelse med oppkjøp
Konsernet har i løpet av 2020 gjennomført 4 oppkjøp (se vesentlige hendelser over)
I forbindelse med allokering av merverdier foretar ledelsen en konkret vurdering av det oppkjøpte selskapets eiendeler og forpliktelser. I forbindelse med oppkjøpsprossessen har ledelsen gjort grundige vurderinger og opparbeidet seg detaljert kjennskap om target selskapets virksomhet og eventuelle forpliktelser, samt at oppkjøpte selskap har tilnærmet lik virksomhet som Selskapet. Basert på type virksomhet så vil det typisk oppstå merverdier knyttet til utvikling og teknologi. Kundekontrakter er normalt sett ett-årlige, med mulighet for reprising ved eventuell fornyelse. Kontraktene har også normalt 3 måneders oppsigelsestid, og det er derfor sjeldent identifisert merverdi til kundekontrakter. Andre eiendels og gjeldsposter er normal arbeidskapital hvor virkelig verdi er antatt å være lik bokført verdi. Merverdi utover det som allokeres til identifiserbare eiendeler henføres til goodwill, som da inkluderer synergi effekter og ansatte som ikke kan henføres til spesifikke eiendelsposter.
Gjenværende levetid på goodwill og aktiverte utviklingskostnader
Ledelsen har vurdert at aktiverte utviklingskostnader normalt har en økonomisk levetid på 5 år, mens goodwill avskrives over 8 år. Levetiden på de aktiverte utviklingskostnadene og goodwill er knyttet til forventede salgsinntekter fra software og inntekter fra de eksisterende kundeavtalene.
Grensedragning mellom forskning (kostnadsføring) og utvikling (balanseføring)
Det foreligger ofte en skjønnsmessig vurdering knyttet til tidspunkt når et forskningsprosjekt går over i utviklingsfasen. Sentralt i denne vurderingen er når prosjektet er ansett som kommersielt gjennomførbart. Amortisering påbegynnes når utviklingsprosjektet er antatt ferdistilt og klart til bruk.

Note 4 Anleggsmidler, fortsetter
Ledelsen har foretatt en vurdering av hvorvidt det foreligger nedskrivningsindikatorer knyttet til goodwill og aktivert utviklingskostnad, spesielt hensyntatt den generelle markedsusikkerheten knyttet til COVID-19. Selskapet er i en vekstfase, positiv utvikling i gjentakende kundekontrakter og omsetning per kunde. En betydelig del av både goodwill og aktiverte utviklingskostnader skyldes oppkjøp i løpet av 2020 som bidrar til at konsernet kan tilby kunder et mer omfattende tjenestespekter. Det er således ikke identifisert noen impairment indikatorer, og det er derfor ikke foretatt en nedskrivningstest pr. 31.12. Ledelsen har videre også foretatt en revurdering av økonomisk levetid for balanseført FOU og har basert på denne vurdering konkludert med at eksisterende avskrivningsplan fremstår som forsvarlig å videreføre.

Nominert fasilitetslån
Den langsiktig gjeld på kr. 116.553.537 er et nominert fasilitetslån på 115 MSEK, samt kapitaliserte renter og transaksjonskostnader knyttet til opptrekket. Lånet skal tilbakebetales i sin helhet i november 2024. Selskapets covenantskrav knyttet til dette låneopptrekket er som følger:
Maksimal ARR Leverage ratio (total gjeld / årlig gjentatt inntekt) på 1,50: 1 i 4. kvartal 2020 og 1. kvartal 2021, som gradvis reduseres til 1.00: 1 i 3. kvartal 2024 og hvert påfølgende kvartal.
Minimum likviditet på 12 MNOK. Kontanter måles som gjennomsnittet den siste måneden i hvert kvartal, og uutnyttede forpliktelser i henhold til konsernets RCF teller til likviditetspakt.
Minimum EBITDAC på 10 MNOK pro forma justert for oppkjøp og avhendelse av selskaper og avtalte engangsjusteringer. Rentebetingelser fremkommer av note 10.
Kortsiktig konvertibelt lån
Det konvertible lånet på kr. 5.580.006 per 31.12.2020 ble konvertert til aksjer 16.02.2021. Dette var overtatt gjeld i fra datterselskapet Ørn Software AS per 31.12.2020 knyttet til deres kjøp av MainManger Ehf konsernet. Konverteringselementet ved denne transaksjonen var fastsatt som del av aksjekjøpsavtalen til en på forhånd pre-definert vekslingskurs. Under NGAAP er ikke et slikt særskilt konverteringselement som finansielt instrument. Det ble i forbindelse med konverteringen utstedt 1 300 246 nye aksjer i selskapet. For rentebetingelser se note 10. Selskapet er ikke i brudd per 31.12.2020.

Opsjonen vestes lineært over en periode på tre år fra tildelingen. De tildelte opsjonen fra tidligere år (3.252.500) anses som fullt opptjent ved salg av selskapet, ved at de begunstigede fratrer selskapet, eller ved en eventuell børsnotering av selskapet. Per 31.12.2020 er totalt 2.955.660 av opsjonene ferdig vestet.
Estimert tidsverdi og arbeidsgiveravgift knyttet til ordningen er medtatt som lønnskostnad

Note 10 Finansiell markedsrisiko
Valutarisiko
Den primære valutarisikoen er knyttet til et SEK nominert fasilitetslån på inntil SEK 500 millioner utstedt i November 2020. Pr. 31.12 er det trukket opp SEK 115 millioner på dette lånet. NOK har gjennom 2020 vært volatil , og blitt betydelig svekket mot SEK, mye grunnet COVID-19 og den indirekte innvirkningen på oljeprisen. Selskapet har ikke inngått noen sikringsinstrumenter knyttet til opptrukken fasilitet. Annen valutarisiko anses lav, selskaper i konsernet har primært inntekter og kostnader i samme valuta.
Renterisiko
Konsernets renterisiko er relatert til fasilitetslånet i SEK. Konsernets rentebelastning er her knyttet til STIBOR med tillegg for en kontantrente (4,75%) som betales kvartalsvis og en PIK rente (3,75%) som kapitaliseres på lånet frem til forfall. Selskapet er ikke eksponert for annen renterisiko.
Likviditetsrisiko
Konsernet er i en vekstfase og har sikret tilstrekkelige fleksibilitet gjennom eksisterende bankbeholdning, opptrekks muligheter både gjennom SEK nominert fasilitetslån (se over) samt ubenyttet kassekreditt på NOK 7 millioner i forhold til selskapets kortsiktige kapitalbehov. Ledelsen har videre løpende fokus på å holde arbeidskapitalen på et akseptabelt nivå, noe også selskapets avtalestruktur knyttet til fakturering av gjentakende kontrakter legger grunnlaget for. Eventuell videre vekst vil bli fundet gjennom en kombinasjon av opptrekksmuligheter på fasilitetslån og egenkapitalfinansiering. Selskapet overholdt pr. 31.12 sine finansielle lånebetingelser som angitt i note 5.
Kredittrisiko
Kreditrisikoen er vurdert til å være akseptabel, selskapet har historisk lite tap på kundefordringer, og en stabil kundemasse som følger avtalte betalingsvilkår.

Selskapets samlede ARR ved utgangen av 2020 er på 107 MNOK etter oppkjøpet av MainManger Ehf og Entro IT AS.
Note 13 Virksomhetskjøp
Datterselskapet Ørn Software har i løpet av 2020 gjennomført fire oppkjøp, disse er:
Pixelwerk AS
Selskapet som har sin tilhørighet i Florø i Norge har utviklet software InControll for havbrukssektoren. Oppkjøpet ble gjennomført 10. januar 2020 og selskapet ble fusjonert med Ørn Software AS samme år. Omsetningen for dette selskapet var i 2020 3,7 MNOK med et resultat før skatt på 1,5 MNOK.
View Software Sweden AB
Selskapet som har sin tilhørighet i Ängleholm i Sverige har utviklet software V3i og Core Energy. Oppkjøpet ble gjennomført 10. januar 2020 og er Ørn Software sin første etablering utenfor Norge. Omsetningen for dette selskapet var i 2020 9,7 MNOK med et resultat før skatt på 0,9 MNOK.
MainManger Ehf
MainManager Ehf konsernet har sitt hovedkontor på Reykjavik med datterselskaper som har sin tilhørighet i både København og i Oslo. Kjøpet av MainManager ble gjennomført 22. desember 2020. Det medfører at deres resultatregnskap ikke er reflektert i konsernregnskapet for 2020 men balansen er medtatt i sin helhet. Basert på proforma tall ville kjøpet av MainManger konsernet bidratt med en omsetning på 24,8 MNOK og et resultat før skatt på 4,5 MNOK i konsernregnskapet til Ørn Software.
Entro IT AS
Entro IT AS ble stifttet på slutten av 2020 etter en fisjonering i fra Entro AS. Entro AS valgte å skille ut sin del av virksomheten knyttet til utvikling og drift av softwaren Optima. Optima er en løsning rettet mot optimlaering og rapportering innenfor energiområdet. Med på fisjonen fulgte deres datterselskap Entro AB som eies av Entro IT. Entro AB har som oppgave å selge softwaren til de svenske kundene. Ørn Software kjøpte Entro IT den 31.12.2020. Deres resultatregnskap er derfor ikke reflektert i konsernregnskapet for 2020 men balansen er medtatt i sin helhet. Basert på proforma tall ville kjøpet av Entro IT konsernet bidratt med en omsetning på 15,3 MNOK og et resultat før skatt på 7,3 MNOK i konsernregnskapet til Ørn Software. Det er knyttet en earnout til dette kjøpet som utgjør en 57% av økningen i nye inngåtte lisenskontrakter (ARR) fra kjøpstidspunktet frem til 31.12.2022 som selger (Entro AS) har bidratt til. Oppgjøret av denne skal skje i 2023.
Det henvises til note 4 for identidiserte merverdier ved oppkjøp.
Note 14 Hendelser etter balansedagen
Konsernets konvertible gjeld på NOK 5.580.006 ble konvertert til 1.300.246 nye aksjer på ekstraordinær generalforsamling den 4. februar 2021. Disse aksjene ble registret i Brønnøysundregisteret den 16. februar 2021.
Note 15 Endring tidligere år
Det har i tidligere år blitt innfusjonert datterselskaper med anvendelse av konsernkontinuitet, som har gitt opphav til blant annet balanseføring av merverdier relatert til FOU. Regnskapsføringen på fusjonstidpunktet hensyntok imidlertid ikke effekten en slik oppføring av merverdier ville ha for selskapets utsatte skatteposisjon. Sammenligningstallene i balansen pr 31.12.2019 er ikke omarbeidet, men siden denne identifiserte feilen er vurdert å skulle regnskapsføres direkte mot inngående egenkapital for 2020 er egenkapital-effekten vist på egen linje i egenkapital-noten, effekten på utsatt skatt er vist gjennom å benytte oppdatert og korrekt størrelse på de midlertidige forskjellene i sammenligningskolonnen for fjoråret i skattenoten samt at inngående verdi på goodwill i driftsmiddelnoten er økt med den tilhørende effekten på goodwill om de tidligere fusjonene hadde vært regnskapsført korrekt fra tidspunktet for fusjonene. Videre er det identifisert at det tidligere er trukket ut en midlertidig forskjell fra grunnlaget for utsatt skatt, som ikke skulle vært trukket ut. Også denne feilen er vist gjennom å korrigere i sammenligningskolonnen i skattenoten samt ved å inkludere egenkapitaleffekten på samme linje i egenkapitalnoten som forholdet knyttet til merverdier ved tidligere fusjoner.
Note 16 Kortsiktig gjeld
I annen kortsiktig gjeld inngår 19,1 MNOK som er resterende del av kjøpesummen for kjøp av Entro IT AS som ble utbetalt i februar 2021.

UAVHENGIG REVISORS BERETNING
Til generalforsamlingen i Ørn Software Holding AS
Uttalelse om revisjonen av årsregnskapet
Konklusjon
Vi har revidert årsregnskapet for Ørn Software Holding AS som består av selskapsregnskap og konsernregnskap. Selskapsregnskapet og konsernregnskapet består av balanse per 31. desember 2020, resultatregnskap og kontantstrømoppstilling for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen, og en beskrivelse av vesentlige anvendte regnskapsprinsipper og andre noteopplysninger.
Etter vår mening er årsregnskapet avgitt i samsvar med lov og forskrifter og gir et rettvisende bilde av selskapets og konsernets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2020, og av deres resultater og kontantstrømmer for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.
Grunnlag for konklusjonen
Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet i avsnittet Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet og konsernet i samsvar med de relevante etiske kravene i Norge knyttet til revisjon slik det kreves i lov og forskrift. Vi har også overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Etter vår oppfatning er innhentet revisjonsbevis tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.
Andre forhold
Årsregnskap for perioden som ble avsluttet 31. desember 2019, ble revidert av en annen revisor som ga uttrykk for en ikke-modifisert konklusjon om årsregnskapet den 1. april 2020.
Øvrig informasjon
Øvrig informasjon omfatter informasjon i selskapets årsrapport bortsett fra årsregnskapet og den tilhørende revisjonsberetningen. Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for den øvrige informasjonen. Vår uttalelse om revisjonen av årsregnskapet dekker ikke den øvrige informasjonen, og vi attesterer ikke den øvrige informasjonen.
I forbindelse med revisjonen av årsregnskapet er det vår oppgave å lese den øvrige informasjonen med det formål å vurdere hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig inkonsistens mellom den øvrige informasjonen og årsregnskapet eller kunnskap vi har opparbeidet oss under revisjonen, eller hvorvidt den tilsynelatende inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon. Dersom vi konkluderer med at den øvrige informasjonen inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, er vi pålagt å rapportere det. Vi har ingenting å rapportere i så henseende.
Ledelsens ansvar for årsregnskapet
Ledelsen er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet i samsvar med lov og forskrifter, herunder for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller feil.
Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for

årsregnskapet med mindre ledelsen enten har til hensikt å avvikle selskapet eller legge ned virksomheten, eller ikke har noe annet realistisk alternativ.
Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet
Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon. Feilinformasjon kan skyldes misligheter eller feil og er å anse som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke de økonomiske beslutningene som brukerne foretar på grunnlag av årsregnskapet.
Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg
- ► identifiserer og anslår vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i årsregnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av intern kontroll;
- ► opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontrollen som er relevant for revisjonen, for å utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets interne kontroll;
- ► vurderer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige;
- ► konkluderer vi på om ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen er hensiktsmessig, og, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape betydelig tvil om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i årsregnskapet. Hvis slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, må vi modifisere vår konklusjon. Våre konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet frem til datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapets evne til fortsatt drift ikke lenger er til stede;
- ► vurderer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet i årsregnskapet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet gir uttrykk for de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde;
- ► innhenter vi tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig revisjonsbevis vedrørende den finansielle informasjonen til enhetene eller forretningsområdene i konsernet for å kunne gi uttrykk for en mening om konsernregnskapet. Vi er ansvarlige for å fastsette strategien for, samt å følge opp og gjennomføre konsernrevisjonen, og vi har et udelt ansvar for konklusjonen på revisjonen av konsernregnskapet.
Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen, tidspunktet for vårt revisjonsarbeid og eventuelle vesentlige funn i vår revisjon, herunder vesentlige svakheter i den interne kontrollen som vi avdekker gjennom vårt arbeid.
Uttalelse om øvrige lovmessige krav
Konklusjon om årsberetningen
Basert på vår revisjon av årsregnskapet som beskrevet ovenfor, mener vi at opplysningene i årsberetningen om årsregnskapet, forutsetningen om fortsatt drift og forslaget til disponering av resultatet er konsistente med årsregnskapet og i samsvar med lov og forskrifter.
Konklusjon om registrering og dokumentasjon
Basert på vår revisjon av årsregnskapet som beskrevet ovenfor, og kontrollhandlinger vi har funnet nødvendige i henhold til internasjonal standard for attestasjonsoppdrag (ISAE) 3000

«Attestasjonsoppdrag som ikke er revisjon eller forenklet revisorkontroll av historisk finansiell informasjon», mener vi at ledelsen har oppfylt sin plikt til å sørge for ordentlig og oversiktlig registrering og dokumentasjon av selskapets regnskapsopplysninger i samsvar med lov og god bokføringsskikk i Norge.

Note 1. Regnskapsprinsipper
Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og god regnskapsskikk for øvrige foretak.
Reorganisering og konsolidering
Selskapet som tidligere het Dash Software AS skiftet navn til View Software Holding AS i forbindelse med reorganiseringen høsten 2020. I februar 2021 skiftet selskapet igjen navn til Ørn Software Holding AS. Ørn Software Holding AS ble toppselskapet i konsernet til Ørn Software etter gjennomføringen av en rettet emisjon mot de eksisterende aksjonærene av Ørn Software AS med tingsinnskudd i form av aksjene i Ørn Software AS. Emisjonen som ble endelig gjennomført/ registrert den 28.11.2020 er regnskapsmessig behandlet etter prinsippet for konsernkontinuitet. Det ble i tillegg gjennomført en ordinær emisjon med kontantinnskudd på samme tidspunkt. Det utarbeides eget konsernregnskap for Ørn Software Holding AS.
Salgsinntekter
Inntekter ved salg av tjenester vurderes til virkelig verdi av vederlaget, netto etter fradrag for merverdiavgift og andre avslag. Inntektsføring ved salg av tjenester skjer løpende hver mnd i takt med de underliggende avtalene.
Vurdering og klassifisering av balanseposter
Eiendeler bestemt til varig eie eller bruk er klassifisert som anleggsmidler. Eiendeler som er knyttet til varekretsløpet er klassifisert som omløpsmidler. Fordringer klassifiseres som omløpsmidler hvis de skal tilbakebetales i løpet av ett år. For gjeld er analoge kriterier lagt til grunn. Første års avdrag på langsiktige fordringer og langsiktig gjeld klassifiseres likevel ikke som omløpsmiddel og kortsiktig gjeld.
Datterselskap og aksjer i andre selskaper
Datterselskaper er vurdert etter kostmedtoden i selskapsregnskapet. Dersom virkelig verdi av selskapet er lavere enn balanseført verdi og verdifallet ikke forventes å være forbigående foretas nedskrivning til virkelig verdi. Eiendelen i balansen er vist under finansielle eiendeler. Øvrige aksjer i andre selskaper behandles på tilsvarende måte.
Mottatt utbytte fra datterselskap inntektsføres som finansinntekt i året hvor utbyttet er avsatt dersom det er opptjent i perioden.
Fordringer
Kundefordringer og andre fordringer er oppført i balansen til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning for tap gjøres på grunnlag av individuelle vurderinger av de enkelte fordringene. I tillegg gjøres det for øvrige kundefordringer en uspesifisert avsetning for å dekke antatt tap.
Kontantstrømsoppstilling
Kontantstrømoppstillingen utarbeides etter den indirekte metoden. Kontanter og kontantekvivalenter omfatter kontanter, bankinnskudd og andre kortsiktige, likvide plasseringer som umiddelbart og med uvesentlig kursrisiko kan konverteres til kjente kontantbeløp og med gjenværende løpetid mindre enn tre måneder fra
Skatt
Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt beregnes med aktuell skattesats på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt eventuelt ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reversere i samme periode er utlignet.

To the Board of Director's in Ørn Software Holding AS
Independent Practitioners' Assurance Report on the compilation of pro forma financial information included in a prospectus
We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information of Ørn Software Holding AS (the "Company") by the Board of Directors and Management of the Company. The pro forma condensed financial information consists of the unaudited condensed pro forma income statement for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020 and related notes as set out in section 7.6 of the Information Document dated 21 March 2021 issued by the Company (the "Information Document"). The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Board of Directors and Management of the Company has compiled the pro forma financial information are specified in Annex 20 to Commission delegated Regulation (EU) no. 2019/980 supplementing the EU Prospectus Regulation as incorporated in Norwegian law through section 7-1 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act and described in section 7.6 of the Information Document (the "applicable criteria"). Carved out Management account for Entro AS for the period 1 January 2020 to 31 July 2020 used in the compilation of the Pro Forma Financial Information is unaudited and accordingly we do not accept any responsibility for that information.
The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Board of Directors and Management of the Company to illustrate the impact of the acquisitions set out in section 7.6 of the Information Document on the Company's consolidated financial performance for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020 as if the acquisitions had taken place at 1 January 2020. As part of this process, information about the Company's and the acquired entities financial performance has been extracted by the Board of Directors and Management of the Company from;
- The consolidated financial statements for the Company for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020
- The consolidated financial statements for MainManager RhF's for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020
- The financial statements for Entro IT AS for the period 1 August 2020 to 31 December 2020
- The financial statements for Entro AB for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020
- The unaudited carved out management accounts from Entro AB for the period 1 January 2020 to 31 July 2020

The auditor's report on the Company's consolidated financial statements for the 12 month period ended 31 December 2020 has been included in appendix B of the Information Document. The auditor's report on the acquired entities financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 have been included in sections D to F of the Information Document.
The Board of Directors and Management of the Company's responsibility for the Pro Forma Financial Information
The Board of Directors and Management of the Company is responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria.
Our Independence and Quality Control
We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirement of the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants, which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behavior.
The firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1, Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.
Practitioner's Responsibilities
Our responsibility is to express an opinion, about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Board of Directors and Management of the Company on the basis of the applicable criteria.
We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro Forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the practitioner plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Board of Directors and Management has compiled the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria and whether this basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company. Our work primarily consisted of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the source documents as described in section 7.6.4 of the Information Document, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the Pro Forma Financial Information with Management of the Company.
The aforementioned opinion does not require an audit of historical unadjusted financial information, the adjustments to conform the accounting policies of the acquired entities to the accounting policies of the Company, or the assumptions summarized in section 7.6 of the Information

Document. For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.
The purpose of pro forma financial information included in a prospectus is solely to illustrate the impact of the acquisitions on unadjusted financial information of the Company as if the acquisitions occurred or had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Because of its nature, the Pro Forma Financial Information addresses a hypothetical situation and, therefore, does not represent the Company's actual financial performance. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the acquisitions for the 12 months period ended 31 December 2020 would have been as presented.
A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled on the basis stated involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Board of Directors and Management of the Company in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:
- The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria;
- The pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information; and
- The pro forma financial information has been compiled on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.
The procedures selected depend on the practitioner's judgment, having regard to the practitioner's understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances. The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.
We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion:
- a) the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated in section 7.6 of the Information Document; and
- b) that basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company

This report is issued for the sole purpose of offering of shares in Norway and the admission of shares on Euronext Growth Oslo, as set out in the Information Document. Our work has not been carried out in accordance with auditing, assurance or other standards and practices generally accepted in the United States and accordingly should not be relied upon as if it had been carried out in accordance with those standards and practices. Therefore, this report is not appropriate in other jurisdictions and should not be used or relied upon for any purpose other than the listing and issuance of shares described above. We accept no duty or responsibility to and deny any liability to any party in respect of any use of, or reliance upon, this report in connection with any type of transaction, including the sale of securities other than the listing of the shares on Euronext Growth Oslo as set out in the Information Document.

Regnskapsprinsipper
Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og god regnskapsskikk for små foretak.
Inntektsføring
Inntektsføring ved salg av tjenester skjer i takt med utførelsen. Inntekter ved salg av tjenester vurderes til virkelig verdi av vederlaget på transaksjonstidspunktet, redusert med merverdiavgift, rabatter og avslag. Andelen av salgsinntekter som knytter seg til fremtidige serviceytelser, balanseføres som uopptjent inntekt ved salget, og inntektsføres deretter i takt med levering av ytelsene.
Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld
Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld omfatter normalt poster som forfaller til betaling innen ett år etter siste dag i regnskapsåret. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste verdi av anskaffelseskost og antatt virkelig verdi (laveste verdis prinsipp).
Anleggsmidler og langsiktig gjeld
Anleggsmidler omfatter eiendeler bestemt til varig eie og bruk for virksomheten. Anleggsmidler er vurdert til anskaffelseskost. Varige driftsmidler føres opp i balansen og avskrives over driftsmiddelets forventede økonomiske levetid. Varige driftsmidler nedskrives til virkelig verdi ved verdifall som forventes å ikke være av forbigående art. Nedskrivninger blir reversert når grunnlaget for nedskrivningen ikke lenger vurderes å være til stede.
Fordringer
Kundefordringer føres opp i balansen til pålydende etter fradrag or avsetning til påregnelig tap. Avsetning for påregnelig tap gjøres på grunnlag av en individuell vurdering av de enkelte fordringene. I tillegg gjøres det for øvrige kundefordringer en uspesifisert avsetning for å dekke antatt tap. Andre fordringer er også gjenstand for en tilsvarende vurdering.
Skatt
Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter periodens betalbare skatt som blir utlignet og forfaller til betaling i neste regnskapsår, i tillegg tli endring i utsatt skatt. Betalbar skatt er beregnet med 22%. Grunnlaget for utsatt skatt er skattereduserende og skatteøkende midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier.
Pensjonsforpliktelser
Foretaket er pliktig til å ha tjenestepensjon etter lov om obligatorisk tjenestepensjon, og har pensjonsordning som fyller kravene i loven. Selskapet har pensjonsavtale gjennom en forsikringsavtale. Pensjonsforpliktelser og pensjonsmidler er ikke oppført i regnskapet. Årets betalte premie er bokført i resultatregnskapet.
Forskning og utvikling
Selskapet driver egen utvikling som omfattes av reglene om egen forskning og utvikling. Utgifter balanseføres i den utstrekning kriteriene for balanseføring er oppfylt. Det betyr at slike utgifter balanseføres når, og fra det tidspunkt, det anses som sannsynlig at de fremtidige økonomiske fordelene knyttet til eiendelene vi tilflyte selskapet, og anskaffelseskost kan måles på en pålitelig måte. Balanseførte immaterielle eiendeler avskrives lineært over forventet levetid.

| Spesifikasjon av lønnskostnader | 2020 |

Uavhengig revisors beretning
Uttalelse om revisjonen av årsregnskapet
Konklusjon
Vi har revidert Entro It AS' årsregnskap som viser et overskudd på kr 328 300. Årsregnskapet består av balanse per 31. desember 2020, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noteopplysninger til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.
Etter vår mening er det medfølgende årsregnskapet avgitt i samsvar med lov og forskrifter og gir et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2020, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.
Grunnlag for konklusjonen
Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet i Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjon av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov og forskrift, og har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Etter vår oppfatning er innhentet revisjonsbevis tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.
Styrets ansvar for årsregnskapet
Styret (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet i samsvar med lov og forskrifter, herunder for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik internkontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.
Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.
Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet
Vårt mål med revisjonen er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.
Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med lov, forskrift og god revisjonsskikk i Norge, herunder ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg:
• identifiserer og anslår vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i regnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike

| Drammen | Kristiansand | Stavanger | Alesund |

risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes utilsiktede feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av internkontroll.
- opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontroll som er relevant for revisjonen, for å utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets interne kontroll.
- evaluerer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige.
- konkluderer vi på hensiktsmessigheten av ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen ved avleggelsen av regnskapet, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, og hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det eksisterer vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i regnskapet, eller, dersom slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, at vi modifiserer vår konklusjon om årsregnskapet. Våre konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet inntil datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapet ikke fortsetter driften.
- evaluerer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet representerer de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde.
Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen og til hvilken tid revisjonsarbeidet skal utføres. Vi utveksler også informasjon om forhold av betydning som vi har avdekket i løpet av revisjonen, herunder om eventuelle svakheter av betydning i den interne kontrollen.
Uttalelse om andre lovmessige krav
Konklusjon om registrering og dokumentasjon
Basert på vår revisjon av årsregnskapet som beskrevet ovenfor, og kontrollhandlinger vi har funnet nødvendig i henhold til internasjonal standard for attestasjonsoppdrag (ISAE) 3000 «Attestasjonsoppdrag som ikke er revisjon eller forenklet revisorkontroll av historisk finansiell informasjon», mener vi at ledelsen har oppfylt sin plikt til å sørge for ordentlig og oversiktlig registrering og dokumentasjon av selskapets regnskapsopplysninger i samsvar med lov og god bokføringsskikk i Norge.

Förvaltningsberättelse
Verksamheten
Allmänt om verksamheten
Bolaget påbörjade sin verksamhet under september 2011. Verksamheten består i extern rådgivning och försäljning av programvara samt konsulttjänster inom området energi- och miljö.
Bolaget har under perioden 2012-2016 haft en 5-årig satsning där fokus varit inom områdena marknad, distribution av tjänster, utveckling av produkter och tjänster, organisation och personal. Under perioden har bolaget satsat på en uppbyggnad av sitt företagsnamn, bygga en solid organisation samt fokuserat på att skapa nya kundrelationer.
2016 ändrades strategin och Entro AB implementerade en partnerstrategi för att bidra till växt.
Från bolagets start har det funnits en strategisk utvecklingsplan som ska uppvisa ett negativt resultat under de första åren då bolaget är under expansion. I 2017 var kostnaderna högre än förväntat och som i hög grad var kopplade till inköp av management från moderbolaget. Entro AB har inga anställda och styrs från moderbolaget Entro AS. Samtliga kunder i den svenska marknaden omhändertas av medarbetare i Entro AS.
Upppgifter om moderbolaget
Fram till 31.07.2020 var företaget ett helägt dotterbolag till Entro AS org. nr 985 622 914, med säte i Trondheim i Norge. Företagets säte är i Stockholm. Från 01.08.2020 blev företaget ett helägt dotterbolag till Entro IT AS org. nr. 926 166 697
Företaget har sitt säte i Stockholm.
Väsentliga händelser under räkenskapsåret
Bolaget startade året med fokus på sina kostnader och att säkra vidare utveckling av dagens kunder. Covid-19 påverkade några kunders beställda tjänster i 2020, men i det stora hela valde de flesta kunder att fortsätta eller öka sitt fokus på energiekonomisering under pandemin. Under våren blev ägarna i Entro AS eniga om att sälja ut sitt dotterbolag Entro IT AS som har allt ansvar för den gemensamma programvaran till Entro AS och Entro AB, samt att sälja hela Entro AB som bolag. Detta påverkar programvaru-ansvaret till att gå över till köparen View Software AB, men all rådgivning vill fortsätta från Entro AS men genom nya svenska ägare.

REVISIONSBERÄTTELSE
Till bolagsstämman i Entro AB Org.nr. 556855-9594
Rapport om årsredovisningen
Uttalanden
Jag har utfört en revision av årsredovisningen för Entro AB för år 2020.
Enligt min uppfattning har årsredovisningen upprättats i enlighet med årsredovisningslagen och ger en i alla väsentliga avseenden rättvisande bild av Entro ABs finansiella ställning per den 31 december 2020 och av dess finansiella resultat för året enligt årsredovisningslagen. Förvaltningsberättelsen är förenlig med årsredovisningens övriga delar.
Jag tillstyrker därför att bolagsstämman fastställer resultaträkningen och balansräkningen.
Grund för uttalanden
Jag har utfört revisionen enligt International Standards on Auditing (ISA) och god revisionssed i Sverige. Mitt ansvar enligt dessa standarder beskrivs närmare i avsnittet "Revisorns ansvar". Jag är oberoende i förhållande till Entro AB enligt god revisorssed i Sverige och har i övrigt fullgjort mitt yrkesetiska ansvar enligt dessa krav.
Jag anser att de revisionsbevis jag har inhämtat är tillräckliga och ändamålsenliga som grund för mina uttalanden.
Styrelsens ansvar
Det är styrelsen som har ansvaret för att årsredovisningen upprättas och att den ger en rättvisande bild enligt årsredovisningslagen. Styrelsen ansvarar även för den interna kontroll som den bedömer är nödvändig för att upprätta en årsredovisning som inte innehåller några väsentliga felaktigheter, vare sig dessa beror på oegentligheter eller misstag.
Vid upprättandet av årsredovisningen ansvarar styrelsen för bedömningen av bolagets förmåga att fortsätta verksamheten. Den upplyser, när så är tillämpligt, om förhållanden som kan påverka förmågan att fortsätta verksamheten och att använda antagandet om fortsatt drift. Antagandet om fortsatt drift tillämpas dock inte om beslut har fattats om att avveckla verksamheten.
Revisorns ansvar
Mina mål är att uppnå en rimlig grad av säkerhet om huruvida årsredovisningen som helhet inte innehåller några väsentliga felaktigheter, vare sig dessa beror på oegentligheter eller misstag, och att lämna en revisionsberättelse som innehåller mina uttalanden. Rimlig säkerhet är en hög grad av säkerhet, men är ingen garanti för att en revision som utförs enligt ISA och god revisionssed i Sverige alltid kommer att upptäcka en väsentlig felaktighet om en sådan finns. Felaktigheter kan uppstå på grund av oegentligheter eller misstag och anses vara väsentliga om de enskilt eller tillsammans rimligen kan förväntas påverka de ekonomiska beslut som användare fattar med grund i årsredovisningen.
Som del av en revision enligt ISA använder jag professionellt omdöme och har en professionellt skeptisk inställning under hela revisionen. Dessutom:
• identifierar och bedömer jag riskerna för väsentliga felaktigheter i årsredovisningen, vare sig dessa beror på oegentligheter eller misstag, utformar och utför granskningsåtgärder bland annat utifrån dessa risker och inhämtar revisionsbevis som är tillräckliga och ändamålsenliga för att utgöra en grund för mina uttalanden. Risken
för att inte upptäcka en väsentlig felaktighet till följd av oegentligheter är högre än för en väsentlig felaktighet som beror på misstag, eftersom oegentligheter kan innefatta agerande i maskopi, förfalskning, avsiktliga utelämnanden, felaktig information eller åsidosättande av intern kontroll.
• skaffar jag mig en förståelse av den del av bolagets interna kontroll som har betydelse för min revision för att utforma granskningsåtgärder som är lämpliga med hänsyn till omständigheterna, men inte för att uttala mig om effektiviteten i den interna kontrollen.
• utvärderar jag lämpligheten i de redovisningsprinciper som används och rimligheten i styrelsens uppskattningar i redovisningen och tillhörande upplysningar.
• drar jag en slutsats om lämpligheten i att styrelsen använder antagandet om fortsatt drift vid upprättandet av årsredovisningen. Jag drar också en slutsats, med grund i de inhämtade revisionsbevisen, om huruvida det finns någon väsentlig osäkerhetsfaktor som avser sådana händelser eller förhållanden som kan leda till betydande tvivel om bolagets förmåga att fortsätta verksamheten. Om jag drar slutsatsen att det finns en väsentlig osäkerhetsfaktor, måste jag i revisionsberättelsen fästa uppmärksamheten på upplysningarna i årsredovisningen om den väsentliga osäkerhetsfaktorn eller, om sådana upplysningar är otillräckliga, modifiera uttalandet om årsredovisningen. Mina slutsatser baseras på de revisionsbevis som inhämtas fram till datumet för revisionsberättelsen. Dock kan framtida händelser eller förhållanden göra att ett bolag inte längre kan fortsätta verksamheten.
• utvärderar jag den övergripande presentationen, strukturen och innehållet i årsredovisningen, däribland upplysningarna, och om årsredovisningen återger de underliggande transaktionerna och händelserna på ett sätt som ger en rättvisande bild.
Jag måste informera styrelsen om bland annat revisionens planerade omfattning och inriktning samt tidpunkten för den. Jag måste också informera om betydelsefulla iakttagelser under revisionen, däribland de eventuella betydande brister i den interna kontrollen som jag identifierat.

Rapport om andra krav enligt lagar och andra författningar
Uttalanden
Utöver min revision av årsredovisningen har jag även utfört en revision av styrelsens förvaltning för Entro AB för år 2020 samt av förslaget till dispositioner beträffande bolagets vinst eller förlust.
Jag tillstyrker att bolagsstämman disponerar vinsten enligt förslaget i förvaltningsberättelsen och beviljar styrelsens ledamöter ansvarsfrihet för räkenskapsåret.
Grund för uttalanden
Jag har utfört revisionen enligt god revisionssed i Sverige. Mitt ansvar enligt denna beskrivs närmare i avsnittet "Revisorns ansvar". Jag är oberoende i förhållande till Entro AB enligt god revisorssed i Sverige och har i övrigt fullgjort mitt yrkesetiska ansvar enligt dessa krav.
Jag anser att de revisionsbevis jag har inhämtat är tillräckliga och ändamålsenliga som grund för mina uttalanden.
Styrelsens ansvar
Det är styrelsen som har ansvaret för förslaget till dispositioner beträffande bolagets vinst eller förlust. Vid förslag till utdelning innefattar detta bland annat en bedömning av om utdelningen är försvarlig med hänsyn till de krav som bolagets verksamhetsart, omfattning och risker ställer på storleken av bolagets egna kapital, konsolideringsbehov, likviditet och ställning i övrigt.
Styrelsen ansvarar för bolagets organisation och förvaltningen av bolagets angelägenheter. Detta innefattar bland annat att fortlöpande bedöma bolagets ekonomiska situation och att tillse att bolagets organisation är utformad så att bokföringen, medelsförvaltningen och bolagets ekonomiska angelägenheter i övrigt kontrolleras på ett betryggande sätt.
Revisorns ansvar
Mitt mål beträffande revisionen av förvaltningen, och därmed mitt uttalande om ansvarsfrihet, är att inhämta revisionsbevis för att med en rimlig grad av säkerhet kunna bedöma om någon styrelseledamot i något väsentligt avseende:
• företagit någon åtgärd eller gjort sig skyldig till någon försummelse som kan föranleda ersättningsskyldighet mot bolaget, eller
• på något annat sätt handlat i strid med aktiebolagslagen, årsredovisningslagen eller bolagsordningen.
Mitt mål beträffande revisionen av förslaget till dispositioner av bolagets vinst eller förlust, och därmed mitt uttalande om detta, är att med rimlig grad av säkerhet bedöma om förslaget är förenligt med aktiebolagslagen.
Rimlig säkerhet är en hög grad av säkerhet, men ingen garanti för att en revision som utförs enligt god revisionssed i Sverige alltid kommer att upptäcka åtgärder eller försummelser som kan föranleda ersättningsskyldighet mot bolaget, eller att ett förslag till dispositioner av bolagets vinst eller förlust inte är förenligt med aktiebolagslagen.
Som en del av en revision enligt god revisionssed i Sverige använder jag professionellt omdöme och har en professionellt skeptisk inställning under hela revisionen. Granskningen av förvaltningen och förslaget till dispositioner av bolagets vinst eller förlust grundar sig främst på revisionen av räkenskaperna. Vilka tillkommande granskningsåtgärder som utförs baseras på min professionella bedömning med utgångspunkt i risk och väsentlighet. Det innebär att jag fokuserar granskningen på sådana åtgärder, områden och förhållanden som är väsentliga för verksamheten och där avsteg och överträdelser skulle ha särskild betydelse för bolagets situation. Jag går igenom och prövar fattade beslut, beslutsunderlag, vidtagna åtgärder och andra förhållanden som är
relevanta för mitt uttalande om ansvarsfrihet. Som underlag för mitt uttalande om styrelsens förslag till dispositioner beträffande bolagets vinst eller förlust har jag granskat om förslaget är förenligt med aktiebolagslagen.
Anmärkning
Bolaget har under räkenskapsåret inte i rätt tid betalat avdragen skatt, sociala avgifter eller mervärdeskatt.
