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 financial position of the Company at 31 December 2017 and of the results of the Company’s operations for the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2017 in accordance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. 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. 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. 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 judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Financial Statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management. Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting 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. 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 Financials Statements Act. Based on the work we have performed, in our view, 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 in Management’s Review. Key activities The Entity's activity is directly or indirectly to carry out sales and marketing activities in a wider sense, activities within trade and services and any other activities deemed related thereto by the Management.

The accounting policies applied remain unchanged from last year. The Financial Statements for 2017 are presented in TDKK.Assets are recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits attributable to the asset will flow to the Company, and the value of the asset can be measured reliably. Liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow out of the Company, and the value of the liability can be measured reliably. Assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are measured as described for each item below. Recognition and measurement take into account predictable losses and risks occurring before the presentation of the Annual Report which confirm or invalidate affairs and conditions existing at the balance sheet date.Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates at the dates of transaction. Exchange differences arising due to differences between the transaction date rates and the rates at the dates of payment are recognised in financial income and expenses in the income statement. Where foreign exchange transactions are considered hedging of future cash flows, the value adjustments are recognised directly in equity. Receivables, payables and other monetary items in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Any differences between the exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the rates at the time when the receivable or the debt arose are recognised in financial income and expenses in the income statement.With reference to section 32 of the Danish Financial Statements Act, revenue has not been disclosed in the Annual Report.Consultancy is included in revenue based on the stage of completion so that revenue corresponds to the sales value of the work performed in the financial year (the percentage-of-completion method). Revenue is measured at the consideration received and is recognised exclusive of VAT and net of discounts relating to sales.Cost of sales comprises consumed direct expenses to achieve the revenue for the year.Other external expenses comprise indirect production costs and expenses for premises, sales and distribution as well as office expenses, etc.Staff expenses comprise wages and salaries as well as payroll expenses including social security contributions, pension contributions etc.Amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses relating to intagible assets, property, plant and equipment comprise amortisation, depreciation and impairment losses for the financial year, calculated on the basis of the residual values and useful lives of the individual assets and impairment testing as well as gains and losses from the sale of property, plant and equipment.Other financial income comprises interest income, including interest income on receivables from group enterprises, net foreign exchange gains, as well as tax relief under the Danish Tax Prepayment Scheme etc. Other financial expenses comprise interest expenses, including interest expenses on payables to group enterprises, net foreign exchange losses, as well as tax surcharge under the Danish Tax Prepayment Scheme etc.Tax for the year consists of current tax for the year and changes in deferred tax for the year. The tax attributable to the profit for the year is recognised in the income statement, whereas the tax attributable to equity transactions is recognised directly in equity. The Company is jointly taxed with the other WPP companies in Denmark. The tax effect of the joint taxation is allocated to enterprises in proportion to their taxable incomes.The Company is part of a cash pool scheme with other Danish WPP companies. Consequently, a considerable portion of the Company’s bank deposits and debt is included in receivables from and payables to group enterprises, respectively.Receivables are measured in the balance sheet at the lower of amortised cost and net realisable value, which corresponds to nominal value less provisions for bad debts.Contract work in progress is measured at the sales value of the work carried out at the balance sheet date. The sales value is measured based on the stage of completion and the total estimated income from the individual contracts in progress. Usually, the stage of completion is determined as the ratio of actual to total budgeted consumption of resources. For some projects where the consumption of resources cannot be applied as a basis, stage of completion is determined as the ratio between completed and total sub activities of the individual projects. Each contract in progress is recognised in the balance sheet under receivables or liabilities, depending on whether the net value, calculated as the selling price less on account billings, is positive or negative. Cost of securing contracts are recognised in the income statement as incurred.Prepayments comprise incurred costs relating to subsequent financial years. Prepayments are measured at cost.Dividend distribution proposed by Management for the year is disclosed as a separate equity item.Deferred income tax is measured using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes on the basis of the intended use of the asset and settlement of the liability, respectively. Deferred tax assets are measured at the value at which the asset is expected to be realised, either by elimination in 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 will be effective under the legislation at the balance sheet date when the deferred tax is expected to crystallise as current tax. Any changes in deferred tax due to changes to tax rates are recognised in the income statement or in equity if the deferred tax relates to items recognised in equity.Current tax liabilities and receivables are recognised in the balance sheet as the expected taxable income for the year adjusted for tax on taxable incomes for prior years and tax paid on account. Extra payments and repayment under the on-account taxation scheme are recognised in the income statement in financial income and expenses.Debts are measured at amortised cost, substantially corresponding to nominal value.Prepayments received from customers comprise amounts received from customers prior to delivery of the goods or service agreed.276890352017-01-01e:ContributedCapitalMember276890352017-12-31e:ContributedCapitalMember276890352017-01-01e:RetainedEarningsMember276890352017-01-012017-12-31e:RetainedEarningsMember276890352017-12-31e:RetainedEarningsMember276890352017-01-01e:ProposedDividendRecognisedInEquityMember276890352017-01-012017-12-31e:ProposedDividendRecognisedInEquityMember276890352017-12-31e:ProposedDividendRecognisedInEquityMember276890352017-01-012017-12-31276890352017-01-012017-12-311276890352017-01-012017-12-311276890352017-01-012017-12-312276890352017-01-012017-12-313276890352017-01-012017-12-314276890352017-01-012017-12-315276890352017-01-012017-12-316276890352017-01-012017-12-311276890352016-01-012016-12-31276890352017-01-012017-12-31e:ProposedDividendRecognisedInEquityMember276890352016-01-012016-12-31e:ProposedDividendRecognisedInEquityMember276890352016-12-31276890352017-12-31276890352017-12-311xbrli:pureiso4217:DKK
