</f:AddresseeOfAuditorsReportOnAuditedFinancialStatements><f:OpinionOnAuditedFinancialStatements contextRef="c0">We have audited the Financial Statements of DT-Interlink A/S for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2016, which comprise income statement, balance sheet, notes and a summary of significant accounting policies. The Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. 


In our opinion, the Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company at 31 December 2016 and of the results of the Company operations for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2016 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. 


</f:OpinionOnAuditedFinancialStatements><f:DescriptionOfQualificationsOfAuditedFinancialStatements contextRef="c0">Basis for Opinion



We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are further described in the “Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 


</f:DescriptionOfQualificationsOfAuditedFinancialStatements><f:StatementOfExecutiveAndSupervisoryBoardsResponsibilityForFinancialStatements contextRef="c0">Management's Responsibility for the Financial Statements



Management is responsible for the preparation of Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act and for such Internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of Financial Statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. 



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


</f:StatementOfExecutiveAndSupervisoryBoardsResponsibilityForFinancialStatements><f:StatementOfAuditorsResponsibilityForAuditAndAuditPerformed contextRef="c0">Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements. 



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



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



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



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



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



Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.




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


</f:StatementOfAuditorsResponsibilityForAuditAndAuditPerformed><f:StatementOnManagementsReviewAuditorsReportOnAuditedFinancialStatements contextRef="c0">Statement on Management’s Review



Management is responsible for Management’s Review. 



Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 



In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. 



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



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

</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfFinanceIncomeAndExpenses><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfTaxExpenses contextRef="c0">Tax on profit for the year





The tax for the year, which consists of the current tax for the year and changes in deferred tax, is recognised in the income statement by the portion that may be attributed to the profit for the year, and is recognised directly in the equity by the portion that may be attributed to entries directly to the equity. 


</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfTaxExpenses><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfIntangibleAssets contextRef="c0">Intangible fixed assets





Acquired goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life which is estimated to 7 years. The period of amortisation is determined based on an assessment of the acquired company’s position in the market and earnings profile, and the industry-specific conditions. 



Patents and licences are measured at the lower of cost less accumulated amortisation or the recoverable amount. Patents are amortised over the residual patent term and licences are amortised over the term of the agreement, however, no more than 8 years. 



Development costs comprise costs, including wages and salaries, and amortisation, which directly or indirectly can be related to the company’s development activities and which fulfil the criteria for recognition. 



</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfIntangibleAssets><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfPropertyPlantAndEquipment contextRef="c0">Tangible fixed assets





Other plants, fixtures and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.  



The depreciation base is cost less estimated residual value after end of useful life. 



The cost includes the acquisition price and costs incurred directly in connection with the acquisition until the time when the asset is ready to be used. As regards self-manufactured assets, the cost price includes cost of materials, components, subcontractors, direct payroll and indirect production costs. 




Straight-line depreciation is provided on the basis of an assessment of the expected useful lives of the assets and their residual value: 




Useful lifeResidual value





Other plants, fixtures and equipment  5 years 0 %




Leasehold improvements  10-25 years 0 %




Profit or loss on disposal of tangible fixed assets is stated as the difference between the sales price less selling costs and the carrying amount at the time of sale. Profit or loss is recognised in the income statement as other operating income or other operating expenses. 



</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfPropertyPlantAndEquipment><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfInvestments contextRef="c0">Fixed asset investments





Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the company's balance sheet under the equity method. 



Investments in subsidiaries are measured in the Balance Sheet at the proportional share of the enterprises’ carrying equity value, calculated in accordance with the parent company’s accounting policies with deduction or addition of unrealised intercompany profits or losses and with addition or deduction of the residual value of positive or negative goodwill 



Acquired enterprises are recognised in the consolidated financial statements under the acquisition method, reassessing all identified assets and liabilities to fair value at the acquisition date. The fair value is calculated based on acquisitions made in an active market, alternatively calculated using generally accepted valuation methods. Upon calculation of the fair value of properties used in the business a discounted cash flow model is applied based on discounted cash flow of future earnings. Operating equipment is recognised at fair value based on an assessor’s opinion, built on an overall assessment of the production equipments. 




Consolidated goodwill is amortised over the expected useful life determined on the basis of management’s experience within the individual lines of business. Consolidated goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of amortisation which is estimated to 5 years. The period of amortisation is determined based on an assessment of the acquired company’s position in the market and earnings profile, and the industry-specific condition. 




Net revaluation of investments in subsidiaries and associates is transferred under the equity to reserve for net revaluation under the equity value method to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the acquisition value. 




Subsidiaries with a negative carrying equity value are measured to DKK 0 and any amounts due from these enterprises are written down by the company's share of the negative equity to the extent that it is deemed to be irrecoverable. If the carrying negative equity value exceeds accounts receivable, the residual amount is recognised under provision for liabilities to the extent that the company's has a legal or actual liability to cover the  subsidiary's deficit. 



</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfInvestments><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfAmortisationOfNoncurrentAssets contextRef="c0">Impairment of fixed assets





The carrying amount of intangible fixed and tangible assets are valued on an annual basis for indications of impairment other than that reflected by amortisation and depreciation.  



In the event of impairment indications, an impairment test is made for each asset or group of assets, respectively. If the net realisable value is lower than the carrying amount, the assets are written down to the lower value. 



The recoverable amount is calculated at the higher of net selling price and capital value. The capital value is determined as the fair value of the expected net cash flows from the use of the asset or group of assets and the expected net cash flows from sale of the asset or group of assets after the end of its useful life.  



</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfAmortisationOfNoncurrentAssets><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfInventories contextRef="c0">Inventories





Inventories are measured at cost using the FIFO-principle. If the net realisable value is lower than cost, the inventories are written down to the lower value. 



The cost of merchandise as well as raw materials and consumables is calculated at acquisition price with addition of transportation and similar costs. 



The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes cost of raw materials, consumables, direct payroll cost and indirect production cost. Indirect production costs include indirect materials and payroll and maintenance and depreciation of the machines, factory buildings and equipment used in the production process, cost of factory administration and management and capitalised development costs relating to the products. 




The net realisable value of inventories is stated at sales price less completion costs and costs incurred to execute the sale and is determined with due regard to marketability, obsolescence and development in expected sales price. 



</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfInventories><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfReceivables contextRef="c0">Receivables





Receivables are measured at amortised cost which usually corresponds to nominal value. The value is reduced by impairment losses to meet expected losses. 


</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfReceivables><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfDeferredIncomeAssets contextRef="c0">Accruals, assets





Accruals recognised as assets include costs incurred relating to the subsequent financial year. 


</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfDeferredIncomeAssets><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfTaxPayablesAndDeferredTax contextRef="c0">Tax payable and deferred tax




Current tax liabilities and receivable current tax are recognised in the balance sheet as the calculated tax on the taxable income for the year, adjusted for tax on the taxable income for previous years and taxes paid on account. 



The Company is subject to joint taxation with Danish group companies. The current corporation tax is distributed among the joint taxable companies in proportion to their taxable income and with full allocation and refund related to tax losses. The joint taxable companies are included in the on account tax scheme. Joint taxation contributions receivable and payable are recognised in the Balance Sheet under current assets and liabilities, respectively.  



Deferred tax is measured on the temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax value of assets and liabilities. 



Deferred tax assets, including the tax value of tax loss carry-forwards, are measured at the expected realisable value of the asset, either by set-off against tax on future earnings or by set-off against deferred tax liabilities within the same legal tax entity. 



Deferred tax is measured on the basis of the tax rules and tax rates that under the legislation in force on the balance sheet date would be applicable when the deferred tax is expected to crystallise as current tax. Any changes in the deferred tax resulting from changes in tax rates, are recognised in the income statement, except from items recognised directly in equity. 


</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfTaxPayablesAndDeferredTax><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfLiabilitiesOtherThanProvisions contextRef="c0">Liabilities





Financial liabilities are recognised at the time of borrowing by the amount of proceeds received less borrowing costs. In subsequent periods, the financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost equal to the capitalised value when using the effective interest, the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value being recognised in the income statement over the term of loan. 



Amortised cost of current liabilities usually corresponds to nominal value. 



</g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfRecognitionAndMeasurementBasisOfLiabilitiesOtherThanProvisions><g:DescriptionOfMethodsOfTranslationOfForeignCurrencies contextRef="c0">Foreign currency translation





Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the transaction date. Exchange differences arising between the rate on the transaction date and the rate on the payment date are recognised in the income statement as a financial income or expense.




If the foreign exchange position is considered to hedge future cash flows, the unrealised exchange adjustments are recognised directly in the equity. 



Receivables, payables and other monetary items in foreign currencies that are not settled on the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The difference between the exchange rate on the balance sheet date and the exchange rate at the time of occurrence of the receivables or payables is recognised in the income statement as financial income or expenses.





Fixed assets acquired in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange on the transaction date.
