The present TIC market is seeing annual growth rates between four to six percent, and global trade is showing few signs of slowing down. Among the factors driving TIC growth are the environmental efforts to reduce energy consumption and the strong growth in emerging markets. Further ahead we see trends that most likely will fuel the TIC industry: Internet of things, smart cities, implementation of digital currencies and the increasing digitalisation of cars – to mention a few. These technologies represent new potentials in a broad range of markets for everyone in the industry. By taking advantage of Nemko’s competence and agility, our customers have the best chances to succeed in converting these possibilities into commercial success stories. For Nemko, the core issue is: How do we stay relevant in this technologically complex future?

The short answer is: Keep creating customer value. The ability to offer helpful solutions where and when our customers need it has always been Nemko’s unique advantage in the global world of commerce. However, as conditions change, so will our customers’ needs. In order to cope with these changes we have already started to prepare our organisation. Central in this preparation is knowledge sharing, both internally and with our customers. In order to advise our customers we must stay in front of the development, and that requires our entire organisation to be well informed – and our key personnel to have in-depth expertise in their fields. To achieve this in a global organisation, strategic use of best practice and advanced learning tools is mandatory. It means that our customers will get the same excellent expertise in all our offices – from San Diego to Shenzhen. Given the complex technological and commercial development, Nemko and the TIC industry faces a bright future as our services will be even more important to the commercial actors. However, with a rapid change in technology and regulatory conditions, only TIC companies that adapt to these changes will succeed. This is why our focus today is on tomorrow’s technology and conditions.

Our promise Through our unique combination of local presence, international networks and bi-lateral agreements we obtain regulatory access for our customers products in each and every market globally.

We live in an age of ever-shorter time-to-market requirements and a constant pressure in keeping costs down. Globalisation requires products to be sold in more and more countries worldwide. Delays in obtaining access to new markets around the world will be costly and result in lost sales.

Rules and regulations are changing rapidly, making it time consuming to be up-to-date. Interpretation of new regulations and approvals is often difficult and takes time.

Nemko has local expertise and global knowledge.

concerns from employees. This will allow employees and their leaders to be comfortable in discussing issues and making sound decisions. In addition, employees are herewith in a better position to alert leaders to concerns within their teams.

Our employees will• Treat everyone fairly, have mutual respect and promote a

harmonious team environment.• Challenge harassment and discrimination.• Support our colleagues in making the right choices ethically,

ObjectiveThe objective of the foundation is to promote safety in the sale and use of electro-technical equipment.

HistoryNemko’s history goes back to 1933, when it was established as an independent association to promote product safety for electrical products in Norway. Nemko had the monopoly for testing and approval of electrical products and material manu factured, imported and sold in Norway.

The NEMKO foundation was established 19 December 1990, as a continuation of the former state-owned company Nemko. All such national monopolies were later abolished by the EU – in 1991.

MissionThe foundation shall, through its wholly owned subsidiary Nemko AS, maintain internationally competitive and recognised test laboratories and certification bodies, who, through their expertise and indepen dent positions, can contribute to safety within the sale and use of electro-technical equipment in Norway and worldwide.

Nemko safeguards products and systems, by supplying efficient thirdparty compliance and market access solutions.

Ownership structureThe foundation ownership structure ensures that Nemko has the necessary independence and integrity towards the authorities, accreditation bodies, the customers and the safety of the product.

The foundation is managed by a board of 10 members, of which three are employee representatives elected by the employees of Nemko in Norway and seven representatives designated by the following Norwegian industry and trade associations:

• Elektroforeningen (Norwegian association of electrical manufacturers, importers and wholesalers)

• Energi Norge (Energy Norway)• Norsk Forening for Elektro og Automatisering

(Norwegian Society of Electric and Automatic Control

• IKT-Norge (The voice of the Norwegian ICT industry)• Elektronikkbransjen (Consumer Electronics Trade

Foundation)• NELFO, foreningen for EL- og IT bedriftene

(Norwegian Electrical Contractors’ Association)• Norsk Industri (Federation of Norwegian Industries)

Board of Directors Nemko AS is owned by the NEMKO Foundation, which is a private

and independent foundation with the purpose of working for safety in trade and use of electronic equipment. The Nemko Group has separate subsidiaries in 12 countries in Europe, North America and Asia, and is a world-leading provider of test and certification services within electrotechnical products. Nemko’s headquarters are in Oslo, Norway. The global network is supplemented by several strategic alliances and partnerships.

The Group’s operating revenues for 2018 amounted to NOK 569,9 million (567.6 in 2017). The operating revenues adjusted for currency changes increased by 0,4 percent in 2018. Operating profits ended at NOK 27,1 million (42.9 in 2017) with an EBITDA margin of nine percent and pre-tax profits of NOK 37,8 million (39.3 in 2017).

Nemko continued to strengthen its global position as a main supplier of market access services also in 2018. As one of the leading suppliers of market access services, we pay close attention to the potential of new markets while developing and delivering services to meet new demands.

Optimising laboratory operations and sales activities were impor-tant goals for 2018 and we expect positive effects also in 2019.

Concerning results, 2018 was a good year for Nemko in most re-gions. Region Europe and Region North America experienced solid growth and an increased customer base, while Region Asia has felt the effect of the ongoing trade war between China and the US.

The process of developing and implementing new strategic priorities that began in 2018 has led to considerable employee involvement. This is proof of the organisation’s constructive mindset and go-getter initiative. It also shows how the Group works well with employees and maintains productive relationships with employee representatives and unions.

As a part of Nemko’s global branding effort to position Nemko as a Scandinavian company based on Scandinavian values, the branding concept “Scandinavian Trust” was launched. Based on

this concept, and to reflect our ambition of helping our customers in an efficient way throughout the value chain, the campaign “we never drop the ball” was implemented.

For several years, Nemko in Norway has worked to strengthen profitability and customer satisfaction, and this purposeful work continued in 2018. The high level of cost in Norway makes it necessary to ensure optimised and efficient operations and concentrate services in areas with higher margins. In 2019, Nemko will move to new premises at Lysaker in Oslo. Preparation and planning for the relocation has been done throughout 2018 to assure an effective move.

Nemko in Canada expanded in 2018 with a new location in Greater Toronto Area. This region is Canada’s main area for industrial R&D in addition to being a centre for Canada’s largest technology companies. This expansion enables Nemko to offer both testing and market access services to manufacturers in one of the most expansive regions in North America.

Nemko India was founded in 2016 and Nemko is today well-prepared for the growing market in India.

In 2018, Nemko confirmed its position as a leading provider of CB certificates and strengthened the solidity by achieving good results. The Group continues to work to ensure profitability, and the Board of Directors expects that the approved strategy and measures related to increased visibility in the market will further support a profitable growth. Asia is still the most important region for production of electrical appliances.

Our customers need support to navigate complex rules and regulations to bring their products to global markets, and this makes it possible for Nemko to continue expanding. Demands related to delivery times and quality are growing, and by becoming more integrated with our customers’ value chain, Nemko can help in this area. Through Nemko’s well-established network, our customers have access to one of the most complete services in market access for electrical and other products on the global market.

To the General Meeting of Nemko AS

Independent auditor’s report Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Nemko AS showing a profit of NOK 14 824 000 in the financial statements of the parent company and profit of NOK 30 141 000 in the financial statements of the group. The financial statements comprise:

In our opinion:

• The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the law and regulations.

• The accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2018, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway.

Other information

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises information in the annual report, except the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information 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 the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (Management) are responsible for the preparation in accordance with law and regulations, including fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, 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 and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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 laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in 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 in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including ISAs, 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. We 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 or the Group'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 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 and the

Nemko AS

3

Group'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 and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

• evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

• obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with the Board of Directors 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.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Opinion on the Board of Directors’ report

Based on our audit of the financial statements as described above, it is our opinion that the information presented in the Board of Directors’ report concerning the financial statements, the going concern assumption and the proposed allocation of the result is consistent with the financial statements and complies with the law and regulations.

Opinion on Registration and Documentation

Based on our audit of the financial statements as described above, and control procedures we have considered necessary in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, it is our opinion that management has fulfilled its duty to produce a proper and clearly set out registration and documentation of the Company’s accounting information in accordance with the law and bookkeeping standards and practices generally accepted in Norway.
