KEY INDICATORS FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS ❚ OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006

DIRECTORS’ REPORT

The Board and the Managing Director of OEM International AB (Publ) hereby submit the Annual Report and the consolidated financial statements for the 2006 financial year. 37-75. BUSINESS ACTIVITIES OEM International AB is represented via its subsidiaries in the Nordic countries, as well as in the UK, Poland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Estonia. OEM is an industrial trading Group operating in northern Europe. Our product range consists of industrial components and systems from suppliers that are each specialists in their fields. Our product range spans from basic mechanical components such as seals and couplings to complete production systems for circuit boards, for instance. OEM’s broad, extensive selection allows the company to customise its offers to best suit the needs of our customers. We constantly expand our range by adding new products and discontinuing or replacing unprofitable products. Each company markets a clearly defined product range which, coupled with the added value of the organisation, forms a brand concept. The brand concepts are launched on new geographic markets as they grow in strength. In 2006, the Group was organised into five group companies/business segments: OEM Automatic, OEM Electronics, Cyncrona, Development and JMS Systemhydraulik. JMS Systemhydraulik was divested as per 30 November 2006. GROUP SALES AND PROFIT The Group’s net sales amounted to SEK 1,447.9 million (1,366.3) for the remaining business units, marking an increase of 6%. The year’s profit after tax for the remaining business units totalled SEK 90.8 million (81.6), an increase of 11%. This corresponds to SEK 11.76 (10.57) per share. The Company JMS Systemhydraulik was divested in 2006, with the result of the sale contributing an additional SEK 90.8 million in profit after tax. This is reported in a separate row in the consolidated income statement. The figures for 2005 have been rearranged to reach comparable figures. The year’s profit after tax including divested business units totalled SEK 181.6 million (88.8). Earnings per share reached SEK 23.52 (11.49). 2006 was yet another record-breaking year for OEM Automatic. Sales increased by 15% and profit by 22%. Our coordinated logistics means that we now deliver to customers in Norway and Denmark from the Swedish warehouse, resulting in greater efficiency and better customer service. Demand in general is high, which means that the Group has sound growth and profitability on all markets. Sales for the group OEM Electronics was basically on par with last year, SEK 307 million (305). While implemented market investments generated good growth in certain areas, they have yet to reach full effect. At the same time, a major deal came to a close and the group phased-out a supplier after the supplier altered

OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006 ❚ DIRECTORS’ REPORT

its market strategy. The group reports a 24% decline in profit. Cyncrona’s sales dropped 14% causing profits to drop 24%. The decline in sales is attributed primarily to the transfer of parts of the sales to commission transactions. The Finnish and Norwegian companies surpassed their targets while the Swedish and Danish companies failed to achieve satisfactory results. Growth in Norway and the Baltic countries is still very good. Development has made positive progress during the year. A sound demand, implemented streamlining measures and acquisitions resulted in a 31% increase in sales and a 55% increase in profit for the group. JMS Systemhydraulik, which was sold 30 November 2006, developed well during the year. Implemented streamlining measures improved profits by 35% despite no change in sales compared with comparable periods. GROUP CHANGES All shares in JMS Systemhydraulik AB and Fastighets AB Hydraulen were sold for SEK 120 million on 30 November 2006 to Specma Hydraulic AB, part of Investment AB Latour. The reason for the sale is that JMS Systemhydraulik is a relatively small player on a large market. Refer also to Note 5. The Czech company EIG spol. s.ro. was acquired on 12 April 2006. The company trades in automation components and reported sales of SEK 29 million for the whole of 2006. EIG represents several of the most important suppliers that OEM Automatic represents, facilitating considerable synergy effects on new markets. The acquisition makes it possible to expand in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. For more information, refer to Note 4. Restructuring of the Group is still in progress. The objective is to achieve a simpler, more distinct legal Group structure through fusions and voluntary liquidations. The following dormant companies were eliminated from the Group in 2006: OEM Källving AB, Plastinvent i Karlskoga AB, LIF produkter AB, Opiab-Företagen AB, Testcenter i Stockholm AB and Fotbromsen AB. FINANCIAL POSITION 2006 Liquid funds and unutilised credit commitments in the Group amounted to SEK 495 million (399) at the turn of the year. Cash flow from current operations totalled SEK 113.4 million (74.1). After net investments of SEK 31.9 million (-5.9), as well as amortisation, new loans, paid dividends and repurchase/sale of own shares for a total of SEK -4.8 million (-30.5), the year’s cash flow amounted to SEK 140.5 million (37.7). The Group’s equity/assets ratio at year-end was 67.2% (62.5). INVESTMENTS Investments in the Group during the year amounted to SEK 15.3 million (17.9) in machinery and equipment, SEK 25.8 million (2.2) in buildings, and SEK 11.1 million (9.9) in other intangible fixed assets.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT The Group does not conduct any research and development of its own. R&D is mainly conducted at our suppliers, using information about market demands that we provide. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT For a description of financial instruments and risk management, refer to Notes 1 and 24. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The figures for the comparative years in the consolidated income statement and cash flow statement have been restated and presented as if the business unit sold during the current year had been sold already at the start of the comparative year (refer also to Note 5 and Note 26). ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT The Group had no operations that require registration under the Swedish Environmental Code in 2006. The OEM Group’s environmental policy dictates continuous efforts to minimise our external environmental impact. Environmental efforts will be governed by legal requirements as well as what is financially feasible, technically possible and ecologically justified. The aim is to reduce the impact of our business on the environment in both the short and long term. REPURCHASE OF OWN SHARES With the objective of improving the Group’s return on shareholder’s equity and earnings per share, OEM International AB has an authorisation granted to the Board of Directors by the Annual General Meeting, to repurchase its own shares. The company repurchased 455,400 shares at an average price of SEK 163.79 in 2006. In total, company ownership of shares amounted to 609,400 shares before all shares were sold on the market during the month of December at an average price of SEK 185.97. The profit from the sale, SEK 26.6 million, had a positive impact on shareholders’ equity. The Annual General Meeting’s authorisation for the repurchase of shares extends to 10% of the total number of shares, that is, 772,310 shares. THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ITS WORK OEM International’s Board of Directors is comprised of six regular board members and three deputies elected by the Annual General Meeting. The Board members are presented on pages 16-17. Five Board meetings were held in 2006, all of which were recorded in the minutes. The work of the Board complies with the rules of procedure adopted by the Board. Once a year, the principal auditor attends and reports on the auditing process. Decisions and the division of responsibility between the Board and the Managing Director are regulated in the written instructions for the Managing Director.

The Nomination and Remuneration committee is comprised of Chairman of the Board Hans Franzén and Board members Orvar Pantzar and Agne Svenberg. The Committee nominates members to the Board and provides guidelines for remuneration to the Managing Director. The Committee convened once in 2006. PARENT COMPANY OEM International is a holding company. The Parent Company holds all Board Chairman positions in all major business units and provides several support functions. The Group has a senior management that is responsible for the development of the Group. Parent company’s sales amounted to SEK 41.3 million (34.9). Of this, SEK 39.3 million (34.8) relates to sales to subsidiary companies. Profit before appropriations and tax amount to SEK 105.9 million (21.4). Of the year’s profit, SEK 101.5 million stem from the sale of shares in JMS Systemhydraulik AB and Fastighets AB Hydraulen.

PROPOSED DIVIDEND The Board of Directors proposes that the divided be raised from SEK 7 to SEK 8.50. The complete proposal for profit allocation is presented on page 74. PROPOSED SHARE SPLIT AND REDEMPTION PROCESS To facilitate trading of company shares and alter the company’s capital structure, OEM’s Board of Directors proposes a 4:1 share split combined with an automatic redemption procedure. Through this procedure, shareholders will receive three new shares and a redemption share which will be redeemed for SEK 20. EVENTS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR OEM International AB has acquired the remaining 50% of the shares in the associated company Crouzet AB from Crouzet Automatismes SAS. Crouzet AB is active in the automation component sector and has 17 employees.

The company reported sales of SEK 51 million and profit before appropriations and tax of SEK 3.4 million in 2006. SEK 18 million of the invoiced sales were for deliveries to OEM Automatic. The acquisition means an annual increase in sales of SEK 30 million for the OEM Group but is expected to have an insignificant impact on the OEM Group’s profits this year. The purchase price amounts to EUR 625 thousand, which corresponds to 50% of the company’s net assets. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS The Group’s objective is to increase profit by an average of 15% annually over an economic cycle. With its market position, organisation and financial position the Group is well equipped for continued expansion. The Group’s growth strategy is described on page 11.

The figures for 2005 are in parenthesis.

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS AND LEGISLATION The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and interpretations published by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), as approved by the European Commission and applicable in all Member States. Furthermore, the Group has applied the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s recommendation RR 30 (Supplementary Accounting Regulations for Groups). The Parent Company applies the same accounting principles as the Group, except in those cases specified below in the section “Accounting Principles of the Parent Company”. The differences between the accounting principles of the Parent Company and the Group result from restrictions on how IFRS can be implemented in the Parent Company on account of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Act on Safeguarding of Pension Obligations (Tryggandelagen) and, in some cases, for fiscal reasons. REQUIREMENTS FOR PREPARING PARENT COMPANY AND GROUP FINANCIAL REPORTS The Parent Company’s functional currency is the Swedish krona (SEK), which is also the official reporting currency for the Parent Company and the Group. This means that the financial reports are presented in Swedish krona. All amounts are rounded off to the nearest million unless otherwise stated. Assets and liabilities are reported at the historical acquisition value, except for certain financial assets and derivate instruments that are valued at their fair value. Financial instruments, which are valued at their fair value, consist of financial assets classified as financial assets valued at fair value via the income statement or as financial assets that can be sold. Fixed assets and divestment groups that are held for sale are reported at the lowest of the previously reported value and the fair value after deductions for sales costs. To prepare the financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, the management must make assessments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting principles and the reported amounts pertaining to assets, liabilities, income and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and a number of other factors that are deemed reasonable and prudent at the time they are made. The results of these estimates and assumptions are then used to assess the reported value of assets and liabilities that cannot clearly be determined from other sources. Consequently, actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and assessments. The estimates and assumptions are regularly reviewed. Changes in estimates are reported in the period in which the change is made, if the change affects that period only, or in the period in which the change is made and future periods if the change affects both the current and future periods. Assessments made by the management in

OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006 ❚ FINANCIAL REPORTING

the application of IFRS that have a significant impact on the financial statements, and estimates and which may give rise to significant adjustments in future financial statements are described in detail in Note 29. The consolidated accounting principles outlined below have been applied consistently throughout the periods reported in the Group’s financial reports unless otherwise stipulated below. Consolidated accounting principles have also been applied consistently to the accounting and consolidation of the Parent Company, subsidiaries and associated companies. None of the accounting principles have been altered in 2006 as compared with the annual report for 2005. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES 2007 Certain new or amended standards and new interpretations take effect as of financial year 2007, and have not been adopted in advance when preparing these financial statements. In its reports for 2007, the Group will be affected to a limited extent by the application of IFRS 7, Financial instruments: Information and related amendments in IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. The new regulations demand more information about capital as well as about financial instruments and financial risks. CLASSIFICATION, ETC. Fixed assets and long-term liabilities essentially consist only of amounts that can be expected to be recovered or paid more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Current assets and current liabilities essentially consist only of amounts expected to be recovered or paid within twelve months from the balance sheet date. SEGMENT REPORTING A segment is a part of the Group which is identifiable for accounting purposes that either produces products or services (business segments), or goods or services in a given economic environment (geographic segment) that are exposed to risks and opportunities that differ from other segments. Segment information is presented only for the Group in accordance with IAS 14. CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES FOR SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES Subsidiaries are those businesses over which OEM International AB has a controlling influence. Control influence means the controlling entity has the direct or indirect right to structure the company’s financial and operating strategies to obtain economic advantages. When determining whether a controlling influence exists, potential voting equity that can be used or converted without delay should be taken into account. Subsidiaries are reported in line with the acquisition method. The acquisition method means that the acquisition of a subsidiary is regarded as a transaction through which the Group indirectly acquires the subsidiary’s assets and assumes its liabilities and contingent liabilities. The method determines the acquisition value

of the shares or business, the fair value of acquired identifiable assets on the acquisition date, and assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities. The acquisition value of the subsidiary’s shares and business respectively is determined by the fair values on the transfer date for assets, incurred or assumed liabilities and equity instruments issued in exchange for the acquired net assets and transaction-related costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition. If the acquisition value exceeds the net value of the acquired company’s assets, assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities, the difference is reported as goodwill. A negative difference is recognised directly in the income statement. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the effective date of acquisition until the day that controlling influence ceases. CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES FOR ASSOCIATED COMPANIES Associated companies are companies in which the Group exercises substantial, but not controlling influence over the operational and financial management, generally through a holding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. From the date on which the Group acquires substantial influence, holdings in associated companies are reported in the consolidated financial statements according to the equity method. The equity method means that the value of the shares in the associated companies reported in the consolidated accounts corresponds to the Group’s share in the associated companies’ equity, the consolidated goodwill and other residual values that might exist in the consolidated fair value adjustments. In the consolidated income statement, the Group’s share in the associated companies’ net earnings after tax and minority interest adjusted for depreciation, write-downs or resolution of acquired fair value adjustments respectively is reported under “Participations in associated companies”. Dividends obtained from the associated company reduce the booked value of the investment. On acquisition, any differences between the acquisition value of the holding and the owning company’s share of the net fair value of the associated company’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are reported in accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”. When the Group’s share of reported losses in the associated company exceeds the reported value of the shares in the Group, the value of the shares is reduced to zero. Deductions for losses are also made against unsecured, long-term financial transactions which, in their financial sense, constitute part of the owning company’s net investment in the associated company. Further losses are not reported, unless the Group has undertaken to cover losses arising in the associated company. The equity method is adopted until the substantial influence is no longer exercised.

TRANSACTIONS TO BE ELIMINATED ON CONSOLIDATION All intra-Group receivables and liabilities, income or expenses, and unrealised gains or losses arising from intra-Group transactions between Group companies are eliminated in their entirety when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains arising from transactions with associated companies are eliminated to an extent that corresponds to the Group’s share of ownership of the company. Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only if there is no indication of impairment. FOREIGN CURRENCY Transactions in foreign currencies Functional currency is the currency that applies in the primary economic environments in which the Group companies operate. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences resulting from translations are reported in the income statement. Exchange rate differences regarding operating assets and liabilities are reported in the operating income, while changes in value attributable to financial assets and liabilities are reported in net financial items. Non-monetary assets and liabilities reported at their historical acquisition values are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of the transaction. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value are translated to the functional currency at the rate prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange rate fluctuations are then reported in the same way as other changes in value with regard to assets or liabilities. Foreign entities’ financial reports Assets and liabilities in foreign entities, including goodwill and other corporate fair value adjustments, are translated to Swedish kronor (SEK) at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. Revenue and expenses in foreign entities are translated to Swedish kronor (SEK) at an average rate that represents an approximation of the rates that applied when each transaction took place. Differences that arise when translating currency in foreign entities are recognised immediately in shareholders’ equity as a translation reserve. The translation reserve includes the translation difference accumulated as of 1 January 2004. When a foreign entity is divested, the accumulated translation differences related to the entity are realised in the consolidated income statement. INCOME Sale of goods Income includes only the gross inflow of economic benefits that the company receives or can receive for its own benefit. Revenue from the sale of goods is booked as income when the company has transferred to the purchaser to the essential risks and benefits associated with ownership of the goods. If there is considerable uncertainty in terms of payment, attached

costs or risk for returns and if the seller retains involvement with the ongoing administration which is usually associated with ownership revenue is not taken up as income. Income is booked at the fair value of what has been received or will be received with deductions for discounts. Amounts collected for the benefit of another are not included in the company’s income but instead constitute received commission. Sales of services and similar assignments Income from the sale of services is booked in the income statement when the service is supplied based on the degree of completion on balance sheet date. The degree of completion is determined on the basis of costs that have been incurred in relation to the total calculated costs for the assignment. Income from the sale of services and similar assignments is reported as revenue when the following conditions are met: • The income attributable to the assignment can be calculated in a reliable way. • It is likely that payment corresponding to the completed assignment will flow to the company. • The costs that have occurred and the costs that remain to complete the assignment can be calculated in a reliable manner. If it is considered probable that the combined costs for an assignment will exceed the total costs, the incurred loss must be immediately reported in full as a cost. OPERATING EXPENSES AND FINANCIAL INCOME AND EXPENSES Operational leasing agreements Payments for operational leasing agreements are reported in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the leasing agreement. Benefits obtained on signing an agreement are reported as part of the overall leasing cost in the income statement. Financial leasing agreement The minimum leasing fees are allocated to interest expenses and amortisation of the outstanding liability. The interest expenses are distributed over the period of the lease, so that each accounting period is charged with an amount corresponding to a fixed rate of interest for the liability reported in the respective period. Variable payments are entered as expenses in the periods they occur. Financial income and expenses Financial income and expenses include interest revenue from bank assets, receivables and interest-bearing securities, interest expenses related to loans, dividend incomes, exchange rate differences attributable to financial investments and financing activities, unrealised and realised gains and losses on financial investments, and derivative instruments used in financial operations. Interest revenue from receivables and interest expenses related to liabilities are calculated using the effective interest method. The effective interest is the rate that ensures that the current value of all estimated future receipts and payments during the expected interest duration is the same as the reported value of the receivable or the liability. The interest element of financial leasing payments is reported in the income statement by using the effective interest method.

Interest revenue and interest expenses respectively include a periodic amount of transaction expenses and discounts, where applicable, premiums and other differences between the original reported value of the receivable and liability respectively and the amount received on maturity and the estimated future receipts and payments during the term of the agreement. Dividend income is reported when the right to retain payment has been established. The Group and the Parent Company do not capitalise interest in the acquisition value of assets. TAXES Income tax consists of current tax and deferred tax. Income tax is reported in the income statement except where the underlying transactions is recognised in equity, in which case any tax effect is recognised in equity. Current tax is the tax to be paid or received for the current year with the application of the tax rates that have been established or which in practice have been adopted as of the balance sheet date. This includes adjustments of current tax attributable to prior periods. Deferred tax is calculated according to the balance sheet method on the basis of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax values of assets and liabilities. Temporary differences are not taken into consideration for differences relating to the initial recognition of goodwill, nor relating to the initial recognition of assets and liabilities other that are not a business acquisition which, at the time of the transaction, do not affect either accounting or taxable income. Nor are temporary differences attributable to shares in subsidiaries and associated companies that are not expected to be reversed in the foreseeable future taken into consideration. Measurement of deferred tax is based on how the carrying amount of assets or liabilities is expected to be recovered or settled. Deferred tax is calculated with application of the tax rate and regulations in effect or in practice adopted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax claims relating to deductible temporary differences and loss carry-forwards are only reported to the extent that it is likely that they can be utilised. The value of the deferred tax claims is reduced when it is no longer deemed likely that they can be utilised. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Financial instruments reported in the balance sheet include as assets cash and cash equivalents, loan receivables, accounts receivable and financial investments. Accounts payable and loan liabilities are reported as liabilities. A financial asset or financial liability is included in the balance sheet when the company is party to the instrument’s conditions of agreement. Liabilities are included when the counterparty has performed and there is a contractual liability to pay, even if the invoice has not been received. A financial asset (or part thereof) is removed from the balance sheet when the contractual rights are realised, expire or the company transfers, in all essentials, the risks and benefits associated with ownership. A financial liability (or part thereof) is removed from the balance sheet when the contractual liability is fulfilled or otherwise discharged. Borrowing and investments are reported

FINANCIAL REPORTING ❚ OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006

when the transaction is carried out (settlement date accounting), while derivative instruments are reported when the agreement has been entered into (trade date accounting). A financial asset and a financial liability are offset and reported in the balance sheet as a net amount only when there is a legal right to set off the amount and an intention to adjust the items with a net amount or, at the same time, realise the asset and settle the liability. Financial instruments are reported initially at an acquisition value corresponding to the fair value of the instrument plus transaction expenses for all financial instruments, except those instruments categorised as financial assets reported at their fair value in the income statement, which are reported at their fair value excluding transaction expenses. The financial instruments are classified in the first accounts according to the purpose of the acquisition of the financial instrument. The fair value of listed financial assets corresponds to the asset’s listed bid price on the balance sheet date. The fair price of unlisted financial assets is established by applying valuation techniques such as recently completed transactions, prices of similar instruments and discounted cash flow. Accounts receivable and other current and long-term receivables Receivables, that are not derivatives, with payments that can be scheduled, and that are not listed on an active market, are reported at the accrued acquisition value according to the effective interest method. Accounts receivable and other current receivables that normally have a remaining duration of less than twelve months are reported at nominal value. A receivable is individually assessed with regard to its estimated loss risk and is entered at the amount it is expected to generate. Impairments are made where necessary and are reported in the income statement. Financial investments Financial investments and derivatives are categorised as financial assets valued at fair value in the income statement. This category has two subgroups: financial assets held for trading and other financial assets that the Company initially chose to include in this category. A financial asset is classified as being held for trading if it was acquired for the purpose of being sold in the short term. To the second subgroup, the company has chosen to attribute financial assets which, according to the management’s risk management and investment strategy, are administered and evaluated based on the fair value. These assets include financial investments in equity instruments and interest-bearing securities. Financial investments are valued continuously at fair value, with changes in value being reported in the income statement in net financial items. Derivative instruments Derivative instruments include forward exchange contracts and currency options to cover risks associated with changes in exchange rates. Derivatives are also contractual terms that are embedded in other agreements. Embedded derivatives are recognised separately if they are not closely related to the host contract. Value changes in derivative instruments, standalone

OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006 ❚ FINANCIAL REPORTING

and embedded, are reported in the income statement. The Group does not use derivatives for hedging purposes. Value changes in derivative instruments are reported as income and expenses in the operating income or in net financial items, based on the intended use of the derivative instrument and how this use is related to an operating item or a financial item. Liquid funds Liquid funds are cash and immediately available credit in banks and similar institutions, plus current liquid investments with a term of less than three months, from the date of acquisition, which are only exposed to insignificant risk for fluctuations in value. The cash and bank balance is reported at accrued acquisition value. The definition of liquid funds in the cash flow statement corresponds with liquid funds in the balance sheet. Interest-bearing liabilities Loans are reported continuously at accrued acquisition value, which means that the value is adjusted through discounts, where applicable, or premiums when the loan is taken and costs when borrowing is spread over the expected term of the loan. The scheduling is calculated on the basis of the initial interest rate of the loan. Gain and loss arising when the loan is settled are reported in the income statement. Accounts payable and other operating liabilities Liabilities are reported at the accrued acquisition value which is determined from the effective interest that was calculated at the time of acquisition which normally implies nominal value. TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS Owned assets Tangible fixed assets are reported as assets in the balance sheet if it is likely that future economic benefits shall accrue to the Company and the acquisition value of the asset can be calculated in a reliable way. Tangible fixed assets are reported at acquisition value after deductions for accumulated depreciation and impairment costs. The acquisition price includes the purchase price including expenses directly attributable to putting the asset into place and condition to be used as intended by the acquisition. Directly attributable costs, which are included in the acquisition value, are the cost of delivery and handling, installation, title deeds, consultancy services and legal services. Loan expenses are not included in the acquisition value for fixed assets produced by the Company. The accounting principles for impairment are described below. The carrying amount of a tangible fixed asset is removed from the balance sheet on the disposal or retirement of the asset, or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal/retirement. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, less direct sales costs. The gain or loss is recognised in other operating income/cost. Leased assets Leasing is classified in the consolidated financial statements either as capital or operating lease. In a capital lease, the financial risks and benefits

associated with the ownership are essentially transferred to the lessee, otherwise it is an operating lease. Assets leased under a capital lease have been reported as assets in the Group balance sheet. The obligation to pay future lease fees has been reported as long-term and current liabilities. The leased assets are depreciated according to plan, and the leasing payments are reported as interest and depreciation of liabilities. With an operating lease, the lease fee is entered as an expense during the leasing period starting from the date of utilisation, which may differ from what has actually been paid as a lease fee during the year. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure is added to the acquisition value only if it is likely that the future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the enterprise and the acquisition value can be calculated in a reliable manner. All other subsequent expenditure is reported as an expense in the period it is incurred. When determining whether subsequent expenditure should be added to the acquisition value, it is crucial to know if the expense is intended for the replacement of identified components, or parts thereof, in which case such expenses are set up as assets. Even in those cases when a new component has been constructed, the expense is added to the acquisition value. Any undepreciated values reported for replaced components, or parts of components, are discarded and charged to expenses when the component is replaced. Repairs are charged to expenses as incurred. Depreciation principles Straight-line depreciation is applied over the estimated utilisation period of the assets. Land is not depreciated. The Group applies component depreciation, meaning that the estimated useful life of components forms the basis for depreciation. Estimates of useful life: • buildings, business property see below • land improvements 20 years • machinery & other technical facilities 5-10 years • equipment, tools & installations 3-10 years Business property consists of a number of components with different useful lives. The main group is buildings and land. Land is not depreciated as its useful life is considered to be indefinite. The buildings consist of a number of components with different useful lives. These components have estimated useful lives of between 20 and 100 years. The following main groups of components have been identified and form the basis for depreciation of buildings: • Frame 100 years • Frame extensions, interior walls, etc. 30 years • Installations, heating, electricity, water & sanitation facilities, ventilation, etc. 20-32 years • External surfaces, walls, roof, etc. 20-50 years The depreciation methods and residual value of the assets and useful life are reviewed at the close of every year.

INTANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS Goodwill Goodwill represents the difference between the acquisition value of a business acquisition and the fair value of the acquired assets, assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities. In respect of goodwill in acquisitions that were made before January 1, 2004, the Group has not adopted IFRS retroactively on transition to IFRS. Instead, the reported value in the future will be the acquisition value for the Group, after impairment testing (see Note 11). Goodwill is valued at the acquisition value less any accumulated impairment costs. Goodwill is valued at the acquisition value less any accumulated impairment costs. Goodwill is distributed to the cash-generating units. Goodwill arising from the acquisition of associated companies is included in the reported value of participations in associated companies. If the acquisition value is less than the net value of the acquired company’s assets and assumed liabilities and contingent liabilities, the difference is recognised immediately in the income statement. Other intangible fixed assets Other intangible assets acquired by the Group are reported at the acquisition value minus the accumulated depreciation (see below) and impairment (see accounting principles). The expenses of internally generated goodwill and internally generated trademarks are reported in the income statement as the costs are incurred. Subsequent expenditure Subsequent expenditure on intangible assets is reported as an asset in the balance sheet only when it increases the future economic benefits of the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognised as an expense when incurred. Amortisation Amortisation is reported in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the estimated utilisation period of the assets, unless such utilisation periods are undetermined. Intangible fixed assets with an undetermined utilisation period are assessed annually for impairment or as soon as indications arise that suggest the asset in question has dropped in value. The useful life of the assets are reviewed annually at least, refer also to Notes 13 and 14. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued at the lowest of the acquisition value and net realisable value. The net realisable value is the estimated sales price in the current operations after deductions for estimated costs for completion and for realising a sale. The first-in, first-out method (FIFO) is applied in estimating inventories. The acquisition value of in-house manufactured semi-finished and finished products consists of the direct manufacturing costs and a reasonable share of the indirect manufacturing costs. Normal capacity utilisation considered for valuation purposes. IMPAIRMENT The reported values of the Group’s assets are tested on each balance sheet day for any indication of impairment. Below is a description of the impairment test performed for tangible and intangible fixed assets, shares in subsidiaries

and associated companies, as well as financial assets. Assets for sale and divestment groups, inventory and deferred tax claims are exempt. The reported value of the exempt assets is assessed in accordance with the respective accounting standards. Impairment tests for tangible and intangible assets as well as shares in subsidiaries and associated companies If there is any indication of impairment, then the asset’s recoverable value is calculated, according to IAS 36 (see below). The recoverable value for goodwill and other intangible assets with undetermined utilisation period is calculated annually. If essentially independent cash flow cannot be isolated for individual assets, then the assets are grouped at the lowest levels where essentially independent cash flows can be identified — a so-called cash-generating unit. An impairment loss is recognised when the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit, or pool of units, exceeds its recoverable value. Impairment losses are charged against the income statement. Impairment losses attributable to a cash-generating unit, or pool of units, are mainly allocated to goodwill. They are thereafter divided proportionately among other assets in the unit (pool of units). The recoverable value is the highest of the fair value minus sales expenses and utilisation value. Utilisation value is measured by discounting future cash flows using a discounting factor that takes into account the risk-free rate of interest and the risk associated with the specific asset. Impairment test for financial assets All financial assets except those categorised as financial assets valued at fair value via the income statement are tested for impairment. For each report, the company assesses if there is objective proof that indicates impairment of a financial asset or group of financial assets. A financial asset has impairment only if objective proof indicates that one or more events have occurred that have an effect on the financial asset’s future cash flows, if these can be reliably calculated. The recoverable value for the assets categorised as loan receivables and accounts receivable reported at accrued acquisition value are calculated as current value of the future cash flow discounted by the effective interest that applied when the asset was reported the first time. Assets with a short term are not discounted. Impairment losses are charged against the income statement. Reversal of depreciation/amortisation An impairment is reversed if there is both an indication that the impairment no longer exists and there has been a change in the assumptions that served as the basis for determining the recoverable amount. Impairment goodwill is however never reversed. Impairment is reversed only to the extent the carrying amount of the assets following the reversal does not exceed the carrying amount that the asset would have had if the impairment had not been recognised, taking into account the amortisation that would have been recognised. Impairment of loan receivables and accounts receivables reported at accrued acquisition value are reversed if a later increase in the recoverable amount can objectively be attributed to an event that occurred after the write-down was made.

SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY Repurchase of shares Ownership of own shares and other equity instruments are reported as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. Purchase of such instruments is reported as a deduction from shareholder’s equity. Payment from sales of equity instruments is reported as an increase of shareholder’s equity. Any transaction expenses are recognised directly against shareholders’ equity. Paid dividends Dividends are recognised as a liability after the Annual General Meeting has approved the dividend. EARNINGS PER SHARE Earnings per share consist of the Group’s net earnings for the year attributable to the Parent Company’s shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year. When calculating earnings per share after dilution, the earnings and the average number of shares are adjusted to take into account the effects of diluting potential ordinary shares, which during the reported periods stem from options issued to employees. EMPLOYEE BENEFITS Defined-contribution pension plans Defined-contribution pension plans are classified as those plans for which OEM only pays fixed amounts and has no obligation to pay additional amounts if the plan’s assets are insufficient and the employee takes the risk for future pension levels. Obligations concerning the amounts to the defined-contribution plans are reported as an expense in the income statement at the rate they are earned as the employees perform their work. Defined-benefit pension plans The Group’s net obligation regarding definedbenefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the future compensation that the employees have earned through their employment in both present and previous periods; this compensation is discounted to current value and the fair value of any investment assets is deducted. The discount rate is the interest rate on balance sheet date for a first-class corporate bond with a maturity corresponding to the Group’s pension obligations. When there is no active market for such corporate bonds, the market interest rate on government bonds with a similar maturity is used instead. Calculations are carried out by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation leads to an asset for the group, the carrying amount of the asset is limited to the net of unrecognised actuarial losses and unrecognised costs associated with employment in previous periods and the current value of future repayments from the plan or reduced future payments to the plan. When the compensation in a plan improves, the portion of the increased compensation attributable to the employee’s services in previous periods is expensed through the income statement on a straight-line basis over the average period until the compensation is fully vested. If the compensation is fully vested, an expense is reported directed in the income statement. The corridor rule is applied. The corridor rule means that the portion of the accumulated actuarial gains and losses exceeding 10% of the higher of the obligation’s current value and FINANCIAL REPORTING ❚ OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006

the fair value of assets under management is reported over the anticipated average remaining period of employment of the employees covered by the plan. Actuarial gains and losses are otherwise not taken into account. When there is a difference between how pension expenses are determined for legal entities and the Group, a provision or receivable is reported for separate salary tax based on this difference. The current value of the provision or receivable is not calculated. Severance pay A provision is reported when employees are given notice of termination only if the company is demonstrably obligated to terminate an employment before the normal date or when remuneration is paid as an offer to encourage voluntary resignation. In such cases when the company gives notice to its employees, a detailed plan is prepared containing information about the workplace, positions and approximate number of employees implicated, as well as remuneration for each personnel category or position and the time frame for completion. PROVISIONS A provision is reported in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or informal obligation owing to an event that has occurred and it is likely that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made. Where it is important when in time payment is made, provisions are estimated by discounting the expected future cash flow at a pre-tax interest rate that reflects current market estimates of the time value of many and, where appropriate, the risks associated with the liability. A provision for losses is reported with the underlying products or services are sold. The provision is based on historic data on losses and a total appraisal of feasible outcomes in relation to the probabilities associated with the outcome. FIXED ASSETS HELD FOR SALE AND DIVESTED BUSINESS UNITS The implication of a fixed asset (or a disposal group) classified as held for sale is that its reported value will be recovered principally through a sale and not through use. Immediately prior to classification as held for sale, the reported value of the assets (and all assets and liabilities in a disposal group) is determined in accordance with applicable accounting standards. When initially classified as held for sale, fixed assets and disposal groups are reported at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value with deductions for sales expenses. Certain balance sheet items are exempt from the valuation rules that apply for IFRS 5. On each subsequent reporting date, the fixed asset or disposal group as a whole is valued at fair value with deductions for sales expenses. Losses resulting from a change in value upon initial classification as held for sale are included in the income statement, even in the case of a revaluation. The same applies to gains or losses from subsequent re-evaluations. A divested business unit is a component of a company’s operations that represents an independent operation or significant operations within a geographic area or a subsidiary acquired exclusively with the intent to resale. 56

OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006 ❚ FINANCIAL REPORTING

Classification as a divested business unit is made upon divestment or at a previous time when the business unit meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale. A disposal group that will be discontinued can also qualify for classification as a divested business unit if it meets the size criteria according to the above. The figures for the comparative years in the consolidated income statement and cash flow statement have been restated and presented as if the business unit sold during the current year had been sold already at the start of the comparative year (refer also to Note 5 and Note 26).

Subsidiaries and associated companies The parent company reports participation in subsidiaries and associated companies according to the acquisition value method. Only dividends received are reported as income on the condition that these stem from profits earned after the acquisition. Dividends that exceed profits earned are considered a repayment of the investment and reduce the reported value of the participation.

TOTAL CONTINGENT LIABILITIES A contingent liability is reported when there is a possible obligation that stems from past events and the existence of which will be confirmed only by one or more uncertain future events, or when there is an obligation that is not recognised as a liability or provision because it is not possible that an outflow of resources will be required.

Sale of goods and completion of service assignments In the Parent Company, income from service assignments is reported according to ÅRL 2, chapter 4 §when the service is completed. Until such time, ongoing work on behalf of another party in regard to the service assignment is reported at the lowest of the acquisition value and net sale value on balance sheet date.

PARENT COMPANY’S ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The Parent Company has prepared the Annual Report according to the Annual Accounts Act (1995:1554) and the Swedish Financial Accounting Council’s recommendation RR 32:05 “Reporting for Legal Entities”. Also the Swedish Financial Accounting Council’s Emerging Issues Task Force’s pronouncements for listed companies are applied. RR 32:05 means that the Parent Company in the annual report for the legal entity must apply all EU-approved IFRS and pronouncements as far as possible within the framework of the Annual Accounts Act and taking into account the connections between reporting and taxation. The recommendation specifies exemptions and additions relative to IFRS. The same accounting principles applied for the consolidated financial statements as described above have been applied to the Parent Company, except in the instances described below. Changes in accounting principles The new accounting principles have had a marginal effect on the Parent Company’s profit and financial position for the financial year. Effective 1 January 2006, the regulations in ÅRL 4, chapter 14 §a-e related to valuation of certain financial instruments at the fair value and hedge reporting will be applied, which has meant a change in the accounting principles. This means that the Parent Company by and large applies the same accounting principles for financial instruments as in the consolidated financial statements. At present, application of these regulations are not expected to have an effect on profit and financial position since the Parent Company as insignificant financial assets which will be reported at actual value and does not utilise derivative instruments. Differences between the Group’s and Parent Company’s accounting principles Differences between the Group’s and Parent Company’s accounting principles are described below. The accounting principles for the Parent Company as described below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in the Parent Company’s financial statements.

Income

Anticipated dividends Anticipated dividends from subsidiaries are reported when the parent company has sole right to determine the size of the dividend and the Parent Company has decided on the size of the dividend before the Parent Company has published its financial statements.

Tangible fixed assets Owned assets Tangible fixed assets in the Parent Company are booked at acquisition value after deductions for accumulated depreciations and impairment when applicable in the same applied for the Group but with additions for revaluation of assets when applicable. Leased assets The Parent Company reports all leasing agreements in accordance with the regulations for operating leases. Taxes The Parent Company reports untaxed reserves including deferred tax liabilities. In the consolidated financial statements however, untaxed reserves are divided among deferred tax liability and shareholders’ equity. Group contributions and owner contributions for legal entities The company reports Group contributions and owner contributions in accordance with the pronouncement from the Swedish Financial Accounting Council’s Emerging Issues Task Force. Owner contributions are booked directly against shareholders’ equity for the receiver and capitalised in shares and contributor participations, to the extent that impairment is not required. Group contributions are reported in accordance with their financial substance. This means that Group contributions issued with the purpose of minimising the Group’s total tax are reported directly against profit brought forward after deductions for their current tax effects.

N O T E 2 . A R E A S O F O P E R AT I O N A N D G E O G R A P H I C A R E A S The Group is organised into four segments, OEM Automatic, OEM Electronics, Cyncrona and Development.

N O T E 4 . A C Q U I S I T I O N O F O P E R AT I O N S On 12 April 2006, the Group acquired 100% of the shares in EIG spol. s.r.o., subsequently name changed to EIG — OEM Automatic spol. s.r.o. for EUR 3.2 million. The company operates in the Czech Republic. 90% was paid cash in 2006 and the remaining 10% will be paid in 2007 in accordance with the agreement. The company trades in automation components and has been in business since 1990. It represents several of company group OEM Automatic’s most important suppliers, thereby generating significant synergy effects. During the first nine months that followed the acquisition, the subsidiary contributed SEK 1.8 million to the Group’s profit in 2006. If the acquisition had been made per 1 January, the effect on the Group’s profit would have been SEK 4.3 million.

NOTE 5. DIVESTED BUSINESS UNITS On 30 November, the Group sold the Hydraulik group comprised of JMS Systemhydraulik AB and affiliated property company, Fastighets AB Hydraulen, where the company conducts its business activities in Borås. Hydraulik was an independent operating segment, refer to Note 2. The criteria for presentation as a divested business unit was not reached on 31 December 2005 and the comparative figures have therefore been restated to show the divested business unit separate from the continued operations. The Board’s plan to divest the business unit was adopted during the second half of 2006 together with a decision that JMS Systemhydraulik AB is a relatively small player on a large market, one which is concentrated to a few major players. The purchase price was SEK 120 million.

Options issued to Senior executives In 2003, OEM International introduced an incentive program in accordance with the Annual General Meeting’s resolution. The program is an option scheme directed at other senior executives within the Group. 40,000 share options were issued on the basis of repurchased B shares held by the Company. The maximum allocation per person is 10,000 options each. Each purchase option entitled the holder to purchase one (1) share in the company at a price of SEK 120 between August and November 2006. The purchase options are transferred at market price calculated by an independent appraisal institute. The retained option premium is reported as an increase in non-restricted equity. Because the price was the market value the agreements are not associated with any costs to OEM. All options have been utilised during the above period. There are no outstanding options as per the turn of the year.

The above specified amounts refer to goodwill for Indoma AB, amounting to SEK 3.0 million, acquired supplier relations for Telfa AB, amounting to SEK 8.8 million and EIG — OEM Automatic spol. s.r.o. whose value is determined by customer relations at a reported value of SEK 8.7 million, refer to Note 14. Impairment of SEK 0.9 million made on goodwill relate to subsidiaries where expected earning capacity may not justify the goodwill balance which has consequently been written off entirely and is thus not included in the above list. The usage values are based on estimated future cash flows for a total of five (5) years with the starting point in the existing business plans for the next three (3) years. The principal assumptions for the valuation for all cash-generating units are assumptions about margins and volume growth. The business plans are based on experience from previous years. Current market shares are expected to increase marginally in the forecast period. According to the business plans, operational growth is expected to reach between 5 and 10% each year. Growth is expected to be 3 to 5% each year for other years in the period of use. The gross profit margins are expected to reach the same level as at the end of 2006. The forecast cash flows have been converted to a present value using a discount rate of 12% before tax. The recoverable values for the units are greatly in excess of their reported values. The Company management is of the opinion that no reasonable changes in the key assumptions will lead to the estimated recoverable values for the units being lower than the reported values.

The purchase sum paid for the acquisition of Telfa AB in 2005 exceeded the net of assets and liabilities in the Company by SEK 9.9 million. The surplus value was analysed and distributed as SEK 1.1 million to orders on hand and SEK 8.8 million to supplier relations. The value of orders on hand relates to contribution margin and is amortised in line with invoicing. At the end of the year, all invoicing had been completed and SEK 1.1 million has been amortised. The amount has been charged to costs for trading goods. The purchase sum paid for the acquisition of EIG — OEM Automatic spol.s.r.o. in 2006 exceeded the net of assets and liabilities in the Company by SEK 11.1 million. The surplus value was analysed and distributed as SEK 0.9 million to orders on hand and SEK 10.2 million to supplier relations. The value of orders on hand relates to contribution margin and is amortised in line with invoicing. At the end of the year, all invoicing had been completed and SEK 0.9 million has been amortised. The amount has been charged to costs for trading goods. Customer relations amounting to SEK 10.2 million are assessed to have a useful life of five (5) years, which means that these will be amortised by 20% every year. Impairment test for other intangible assets, refer to Note 13.

FINANCIAL REPORTING â?&#x161; OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006

( C O N T. N O T E 2 1 ) In Norway and Italy all employees are covered by defined-benefit pension plans. In countries other than Sweden, all employees are covered by defined-contribution plans for which the Company pays fixed contributions to a separate legal entity and has no obligation to pay further contributions. The Group’s results are burdened by costs as the benefits are earned. Take up of old age pension and family pension by a small section of the employees in Sweden is secured by an insurance policy with Alecta. According to a statement from the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s Emerging Issues Task Force, URA 42, this is a defined benefit plan which covers several employers. The Company has not had access to sufficient information to make it possible to report this plan as a defined benefit plan for financial years 2005 and 2006. The pension plan according to ITP, which is secured via insurance with Alecta, is therefore reported as a defined-contribution plan. Expenses this year for pension insurance with Alecta amount to SEK 1.9 million (2.6). Alecta’s excess can be allocated to the policy holders and/or the insured. At the end of 2006, Alecta’s excess in the form of the collective consolidation level was 143.15% (128.5). The collective consolidation level is made up of the market value of Alecta’s assets as a percentage of the insurance commitment calculated according to Alecta’s insurance calculation premise, which does not comply with IAS 19. Most of the employees in Sweden are covered by defined-contribution plans. The Group’s total cost for defined-contribution plans is SEK 14.9 million (13.2).

NOTE 22. OVERDRAFT The majority of the Swedish companies are connected to a central account system with a total limit of SEK 150 million (180). The overall degree of utilisation is reported in the Parent Company under this item. The subsidiaries’ balance/liability in the central account system is reported in the Parent Company, either as a receivable from, or a liability to, the subsidiaries. The total limit in the Group is SEK 260 million (293).

NOTE 24. FINANCIAL RISKS AND RISK MANAGEMENT

The OEM Group’s primary risks are connected to currencies, customer credits and customer guarantees. Through matching, however, the risks have almost been completely eliminated. A risk elimination that contributes to the Group having a relatively stable coverage ratio over time. In addition to the named risks, the Group has a limited interest risk in the form of a cash flow risk. The currency risks are primarily due to purchases being made in foreign currency. The risks are managed by the customer contract often prescribing that the price must be adjusted in relation to any currency changes. Alternatively, the sale is carried out in the same currency as

OEM ANNUAL REPORT 2006 ❚ FINANCIAL REPORTING

the purchase. A detailed report is given in connection with the following table. The customer credit risks are small. Defined customer limits are carefully decided and strictly applied. Short credit periods and absence of risk concentrations for individual customers, segments or geographic areas contribute to a good risk picture, one that is confirmed by the small historical customer losses. Further information is given below in connection with the heading customer and credit risks. Customer guarantees have not been a cause of any risks of practical significance. There are often corresponding rights of recourse against

the supplier for provided guarantees. This management has worked well in practice. The interest risk is low. The Group does not have any liabilities with fixed interest, and long-term receivables with fixed interest are very small. The risk of a shift in the interest rate causing a significant change in fair value is thus non-existent. The cash and bank items, the overdraft item and other interest-bearing liabilities (financial leasing) are marred by cash flow risks. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS The OEM Group’s holdings of financial instruments that form fixed assets are fairly limited. At the end

of 2006, the book value of the financial assets of long-term securities holdings was SEK 1.3 million (1.6), shares in tenant-owners’ rights SEK 1 million and other long-term receivables SEK 0.5 million (0.4). The Group’s holding of financial instruments that represent current assets amounted at year end to SEK 206 million (213) and accrued income to SEK 1.8 million (0.8) and other receivables to SEK 55.0 million (13.3). The Group does not have any liabilities with fixed interest and at year-end long-term receivables amounted to SEK 0.5 million (0.4), which is less than one percent of total assets. The risk of a shift in the interest rate causing a significant change in fair value is thus non-existent. The item cash and bank balance SEK 288 million (150), the overdraft item SEK 53.1 million (44.2) and other interestbearing liabilities (financial leasing) SEK 12.2 million (11.7) have variable interest rates and are thus marred by cash flow risks. Overdrafts apply for one (1) year and are not combined with any specific requirements from the guarantor.

CURRENCY EXPOSURE The currency flow of the Group is attributable to imports from Europe, Asia and North America. Purchasing is split as a percentage as follows: 2006

As long as it is possible, the Group eliminates the effects of exchange rates by using currency clauses in the customer contract and by purchasing and selling in the same currency. On the whole, purchasing is carried out in the supplier’s functional currency. From the table above it can be seen that 11% (18) for USD, 53% (45) for EUR, 12% (15) for Yen and 5% (5) for GBP 7% (8) for SEK and 12% (9) for other currencies are attributable to purchasing in 2006. The OEM Group manages the effects of changing exchange rates by currency clauses in the sales contract and by invoicing in the same currency as the corresponding purchase. OEM sells goods to Swedish and foreign customers and either invoices in the purchasing currency or in another currency with currency clauses with regard to the purchase currency. The currency clauses adjust 80-100% of the changes in the exchange rate from the sales order to the date of invoicing, depending on whether OEM receives currency compensation for the profit margin or not. There is often a threshold value, which means that exchange rate changes below 2.25% are not taken into account. Currency adjustments are made symmetrically for rising and falling currency rates. There are no conditions that give debt ratios or that are similar to options. Currency clauses and sales in the purchasing currency make up about 75% (80) of all sales contracts. Where purchasing is based on sales orders, economic hedging of currency risks is achieved in sales and purchasing. However, in many cases there is a mismatch in timing between purchase orders and sales orders. Purchase orders normally run 7-60 days prior to delivery. The customer credit period is about 30 days. The currency adjustment clauses means that only currency changes between the time of sale and the time of invoicing affect the amount reported in Swedish Kronor. Since invoicing, in accordance with currency adjustment clauses, is carried out in SEK, there is no exchange rate difference after the date of invoicing. OEM applies the same terms and conditions for adjusting currencies and prices for its Swedish and overseas customers. The changes in values related to the multiple currency clauses are therefore treated consistently from the points of view of risk and accounting. With regard to

currency risk, it can be determined that OEM also has balance exposures in the form of net investment in independent foreign operations. At present, these currency risks are not hedged. Currency rates are used in the Group’s consolidated accounts for recalculating foreign subsidiary’s income and net assets. Currency

CUSTOMER AND CREDIT RISKS The Group has approximately 20,000 purchasing customers in total. The largest individual customer accounted for approximately 6.6% (8.3) of sales. The five largest customers accounted for 12.1% (15.6) of sales and the ten largest customers accounted for 15.8% (20.4) of sales. The distribution of risk is thus very good. Customer losses during the year amounted to SEK 0.5 million (1.2), which corresponds to 0.03 % (0.08) of sales. The average credit period rose to approximately 40 days.

The Parent Company shares are listed on the Stockholm Stock Exchange. The address of the head office is Dalagatan 4, Box 1011, Tranås, Sweden. The consolidated financial statements for 2006 incorporate the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, jointly referred to as the Group. The Group also includes shareholdings in associated companies.

N O T E 2 8 . E V E N T S A F T E R B A L A N C E S H E E T D AT E OEM International AB has acquired 50% of the shares in Crouzet AB from Crouzet Automatismes SAS, and thereby owns all the shares in Crouzet AB. The purchase price amounts to EUR 0.6 million, which corresponds to 50% of the company’s net assets. Crouzet AB has operations in Sweden within the automation component segment and had reported sales of SEK 51.6 million with a profit before appropriations and tax of SEK 3.4 million in 2006. SEK 18 million of the invoiced sales were for deliveries to OEM Automatic. The acquisition means an annual increase in sales of SEK 30 million for the OEM Group but is expected to have an insignificant impact on the OEM Group’s profits in 2007. The business will gradually be integrated into OEM Automatic AB and OEM Motor AB.

Certain important accounting-related estimates that have been made in the application of the Group’s accounting principles are described below. Divested business units In calculating the profit of divested business units, SEK 3 million has been reserved in the accounts since the final payment in accordance with the agreement amounting to SEK 11.4 million will be made on 31 December 2007. The agreement includes provisions for accounts receivable and deliveries, etc. Impairment test of goodwill In calculating the recoverable value of cash-generating units for the company’s assessment if amortisation is required for goodwill, future circumstances and estimates of parameters have been assumed. An account of these is described in Note 13. The management is of the opinion that no reasonable changes in the key assumptions will lead to the estimated recoverable values for the units being lower than the reported values. Valuation other intangible fixed assets Other intangible fixed assets consist of the values arising at acquisition, divided into SEK 8.8 million for supplier relations and SEK 8.7 million for customer relations. Supplier relations have continued to develop positively, explaining the assessment that impairment is not necessary for 2006. Customer relations entail establishments on new markets and the assessment is that these will be written-down over a five-year period. For more information, refer to Note 14.

We have examined the Annual Report, the consolidated financial statements, the accounting records and the administration of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director of OEM International AB (Publ.) for the financial year 2006. The Company’s Annual Report is included in the printed version of this document on pages 37-74. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the accounts and the administration of the Company, and for ensuring that the Swedish Annual Accounts Act is applied when preparing the Annual Report and for ensuring that the international accounting standards IFRS, as approved by the European Union, and the Annual Accounts Act are applied when preparing the consolidated financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Annual Report, the consolidated financial statements and the administration based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards in Sweden, which meant that we planned and performed the audit to obtain reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the Annual Report and the consolidated financial statements are

free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining a selection of the documentation with respect to amounts and other information in the accounting records. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and their application by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director, as well as evaluating the important assessments made by the Board of Directors and the Managing Director when preparing the Annual Report and the consolidated financial statements, as well as appraising the overall presentation of information in the Annual Report and the consolidated financial statements. As a basis for our pronouncement on discharge from liability, we have examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances at the Company in order to determine the possible liability to the Company of any Board Member or the Managing Director. We have also examined the question of whether any Director or the Managing Director has otherwise acted in contravention of the Swedish Companies Act, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act or the Company’s Articles of Association.

We are of the opinion that our audit gives us reasonable grounds on which to pronounce as follows. The Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and, consequently, provides a true picture of the Company’s income and position in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice in Sweden. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with international accounting standards IFRS, in line with the requirements of the European Union and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and provide a true picture of the Group’s income and position. The Directors’ Report is consistent with the remainder of the Annual Report and the Consolidated Financial Statements. We recommend that the Annual General Meeting adopt the income statement and the balance sheet of the Parent Company and of the Group, appropriate the Parent Company’s surplus as proposed in the Directors’ Report and grant the Members of the Board and the Managing Director discharge from liability for the financial year.
