GOOD CHEMISTRY GOES ALL THE WAY

BUSINESS CONCEPT Our business concept is to sell, purchase, process and distribute chemical products to the basic industries in Europe.

STRATEGY We have specialised expertise and resources in the field of liquid chemical products. Imports take place directly from the producer for our own production of directly-customised products, or to centrally located tanker terminals with our own logistics solution for the end customer. The company's strategy is also to implement and optimise utilisation of the product with the end customer. Founder Bo Wiklund

MANAGING DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT STRATEGY FOR INCREASED GROWTH 2014 has seen a strengthening of the Euro, which has had a positive effect on margins during the year. However, our business was affected by a decline in volumes outtakes, which, along with a negative price effect on the majority of our major products, has had a pronounced impact on us, but thanks to new customers, we have nevertheless been able to finish the year with a somewhat higher turnover. An agreement was signed in April with GE Water & Process Technologies for the Nordic market, giving WIBAX the honour of representing GE as exclusive distributor for the Nordic region. The agreement entails taking over the employment of a number of salespersons, and also that we set up companies in both Denmark and Norway as a complement to our previous subsidiaries. The deal is of major significance as we are now able to offer our customers a broader spectrum of products, as well expand naturally into new markets, the oil industry for example. As the products are largely directed towards our existing groups of customers, in several cases it makes us a unique supplier. It is naturally a great honour to be given this responsibility, and also a great challenge with potential.

During the spring a transfer agreement was negotiated in respect of a sea terminal in Malmö. The terminal is located in Malmö oil port and has a strategically important significance for us. Moreover, it is in the expansive Öresund area, where we are hoping to be able to grow further. The intention is that the terminal will function as our port to and from Europe and act as a support for the local market. Our staffing was further extended in connection with this. We have continued in our endeavour to be a strong and complete supplier of biofuel to Swedish industry, and have completed an additional storage site during the year. Our intention is naturally to increase our competitiveness and we see major potential for the future. As long as there are cooler winters in the future, I am certain that all our initiatives will bear fruit. Finally, 2014 has been a year in which we have moved our positions forward and created a good basis on which to achieve our objectives. I am also delighted to be able to welcome a number of individuals into the company, who I am convinced will make a strong contribution in our future endeavors.

GROUP OPERATIONS

PRODUCTION

A rising Euro rate during the year has had a positive effect on the company, and resulted in higher margins. A lower product withdrawal and a negative effect on prices has curbed our development to some extent, but thanks to several new customers we have nevertheless succeeded in growing.

During the past year production has expanded its product portfolio through developing existing and new production facilities. Improvements are continually taking place in order to enhance quality, finances, security of supply and working environment. During 2014 LEAN was introduced as a concept in production with good results. We are already noting a positive effect on our costs and greater commitment from our staff. Further synergies are that communication between departments has been strengthened, creating greater understanding for our different job assignments. One part of our Lean work is called order and method. An initial result of this is a review of equipment and spare parts, which has in turn delivered increased security of supply and more effective maintenance.

A cooperation agreement was signed with GE Water and Process Technologies during 2014. The deal is an important addition for WIBAX through enhanced expertise, a broader product portfolio and the opportunity to expand in new markets. The mild winter has had a negative effect on our sales of bio-oil in that customers' requirements have been low. However, we have proceeded with our strategic focus on increased competitiveness with an additional storage site. Work within LEAN production has delivered a further increase in quality as well as lower costs. The intention is to proceed with the improvement measures and make the production process even more efficient. Subsidiaries were set up in Norway and Denmark in connection with signing the cooperation agreement with GE. The WIBAX group thus comprises a total of eight companies located in four countries. The aim of the companies in Norway and Denmark is to enhance our prospects of expanding in a larger geographical area. Our logistics are continuing to grow and we can include additional storage capacity in Malmö. The terminal is a strategic and important investment that will improve our prerequisites for growth.

INVESTMENTS We have continued our strategic initiatives by investing in logistics with a new terminal and increased storage capacity and replacement of existing vehicles. We have also invested in a production plant in Piteå to enable us to produce more products.

MARKET Demand has generally been stable throughout the 2014 financial year. The start was characterised by a certain amount of uncertainty in the market, which resulted in caution and demand continuing to be put on hold. The second half of the financial year displayed stronger demand, which resulted in continued good growth in several product segments. With its well-functioning supplies of raw materials, WIBAX has managed to satisfy the needs of the market and made use of the opportunities that have arisen when our customers have looked for competitive alternatives. On the whole, the price trend during the financial year has been modest, with a weak price increase being noted and approved by the market.

ANTICIPATED FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Strategic investments and decisions have characterised this year too, and, as thing stand, will produce results in the foreseeable future. Permits for our operations, particularly in relation to terminals, are a factor that plays a significant role in our potential to succeed. Applying for permits is an extensive task, and the time it takes to finalise them can vary substantially, which can mean that some new business operations can take longer than planned.


QUALITY AND ENVIRONMENT Quality improvement measures that were implemented during the year comprise development of WIBAX's management by objectives tool, and improvements in our deviation system. Monitoring the quality of bio-oil deliveries has been further improved so that we can meet customer and product requirements. At the start of the year a LEAN project was initiated which entailed reviewing workstations and storage options in Production. Operational processes have been reviewed and a value- flow analysis was performed in conjunction with Luleå University of Technology. In June WIBAX acquired a depot in Malmö where we are currently engaged in an application process and are working to obtain a permit to be able to expand storage of products. Work on a complete embankment has started at our depot in Norrköping. The work of converting safety data sheets to CLP status has continued during the year and will be completed by 1 June 2015. Collaboration with several of the major actors in the network for quality, health, environment and working environment in Norrbotten has progressed and new participants have joined.

SAFETY AND PROTECTION

entire cistern area. The port area that includes our terminal in Malmö now has improved protection with a security gate manned around the clock. Together with RTJ in Skellefteå we have participated in a project to produce a new municipal emergency response plan in Skellefteå. WIBAX Logistics has invested in a total of eight new SO2 containers which are also an element in measures to enhance safety.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT WIBAX's operations involve production and storage of chemicals that require permits. The production unit in Piteå is an A-plant and has a permit for manufacture and storage of chemicals. Our depots in Skellefteå, Örnsköldsvik, Norrköping and Uddevalla are B plants where we have permits to handle and store chemicals. Our depot on Haraholmen, Piteå, is a C plant where operations are conducted that require permits. In June 2014 WIBAX invested in a terminal facility in Malmö where we are currently making an application (C plant) and the permit process has commenced. Our permits are of the utmost importance in enabling us to pursue the type of operations that we do.

Ensuring that we have safe storage of chemicals at our terminals requires continuous maintenance work. Work during the year has included creation of new perimeter protection for the quay area in Norrköping and an embankment for the

WIBAX • 9


In March 2015 WIBAX invested in a terminal facility in Skutskär outside Gävle. The terminal's location is strategically important for WIBAX and in the long-term will lead to increased turnover for the group.

We also focus on boiler and process chemicals that are now available in our range of products thanks to our partnership with GE Water & Process Technologies. WIBAX also works with oil refineries where process chemicals and our service are highly valued. Kotka's role as a chemicals port will provide good opportunities for WIBAX OY to develop its logistics position within the WIBAX Group as a whole.

WIBAX TECH AB

WIBAX LOGISTICS

Having produced a new operational process to prioritise product development, we are hopeful that we will be able to increase production of special chemicals that match the market's requirements and increase future potential. Wibax's silicon-based antifoaming agent for use in pulp mills' fibre lines is the outcome of a development project that resulted in commercial deliveries during 2014.

2014 has been an exciting and eventful year and the company continues to grow. Our ambition to grow, in addition to great commitment to the market, has resulted in our sales continuing to increase. This has also contributed to the success of the WIBAX Group and shows that we have the right strategy.

IMPORTANT EVENTS AFTER THE END OF THE FINANCIAL YEAR

WIBAX ENERGY AB The past year has been an interesting one, with continued growth within bio-oil through new customers and commissioning of a further storage site in Uddevalla. Our cooperation agreement with GE Water & Process Technologies which was signed during the year means that we are now an exclusive distributor for the Nordic market. It entails us taking over a total of six employees and we are thereby also represented in Denmark and Norway. They are contributing their expertise within water treatment, making Wibax Energy an even more complete supplier to the energy market. The sales companies WIBAX APS and WIBAX AS have a close connection to WIBAX Energy AB and were set up in connection with our take over of staff from Denmark and Norway.

WIBAX INDUSTRIAL AB WIBAX Industrial offers total solutions within service and maintenance, cleaning and surface protection for metal and concrete. During the year we have invested in an additional machine for polyurea, at the same time as we are now also authorised and certified for application of VIP Polyurea. We are seeing increased interest in polyurea, which has many unique properties such as flexibility, durability and chemical resistance. In terms of system cleaning, we can perform cleaning assignments quickly and effectively as we have optimised both equipment and accessories, and we also have products that we have developed ourselves that are adapted to customers' requirements. Our objective is to increase the number of conversions of different boilers from fossil to biofuel. We offer conversions of existing piping and optimise burner equipment and accessories. The conversion is performed by Wibax Energy, which analyses product requirements together with customers and assists with installation, commissioning, optimisation and evaluation, and also offers storage and logistics solutions.

WIBAX OY WIBAX OY works primarily with the pulp and paper industry, the mining and metallurgical industry, as well as with products for water treatment and road maintenance.

10 • WIBAX

Investments in vehicles have proceeded according to plan and it is our ambition to have a modern fleet of vehicles with a low average age to be able, among other things, to increase our security of supply. In addition, our growth has provided us with considerable opportunities to adapt the use of our vehicles where they can be of most use, contributing towards higher profitability and reduced environmental impact. The majority of our vehicles are combination vehicles, which entails greater utility through the potential to combine several types of product without this resulting in frequently expensive cleaning. Of course, growth is also accompanied by a need for personnel, and our team of drivers has been expanded during 2014 with additional employees. We have continued our work on rail transport. The shipments are made partly with rented trucks and partly with containers that are largely transported by rail. We are continuing our work to implement the railway as an alternative form of transport for WIBAX Logistics, although the technical conditions have not really existed, particularly during the winter months. Our position as one of Sweden's largest bulk suppliers has been strengthened through investment in an additional terminal located in Malmö. The terminal supplements our nationwide network of storage sites for liquid products. The terminal in Malmö is an important strategic investment, which is necessary for Wibax to achieve its growth target. During the year storage areas for bio-oil have been completed in the depots in Norrköping and Uddevalla. In Norrköping the embankment work has proceeded throughout the year and will be completed in early 2015. The terminals have proven to be incredibly important for our logistics, and Norrköping is now one of our most important terminals. The market for storage of liquid fuels and chemicals has steadily increased, and we think that the development is moving towards several different types of liquid fuels which will require storage in several storage tanks. Our strength lies in the combination between transportation, storage and our wide-ranging knowledge. Knowledge that has been developed over the years, and that has contributed to our strong position in the market. This makes WIBAX Logistics a unique company in the sector, with the range, expertise, flexibility and strength to develop further.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES AND NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GENERAL ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Accounting Standards Board 2012:1 (K3). CLASSIFICATION Fixed assets, long-term liabilities and provisions essentially only consist of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid after more than twelve months, calculated from the balance sheet date. Current assets and current liabilities essentially only consist of amounts that are expected to be recovered or paid within twelve months, calculated from the balance sheet date. VALUATION PRINCIPLES ETC. Assets, provisions and liabilities have been valued at their acquisition value, unless otherwise stated below. LEASING The Swedish Accounting Standards Board's advice on the accounting of leasing agreements is applied. In the Group, assets that are leased through a finance leasing agreement are recognised as an item of property, plant and equipment, while future lease payments are recognised as a liability. On initial recognition, the asset and liability are recognised at the amount of the future minimum lease payments. At the parent company, leasing agreements, both financial and operating, are recognised as operating leases. INTANGIBLE AND TANGIBLE ASSETS Tangible assets are reported at their acquisition value less accumulated depreciation and possible write-downs. Land does not depreciate. Straight line depreciation takes place on depreciable amounts (the acquisition value less the calculated remaining amount) during the lifetime of the asset, according to the following: Product rights Land and buildings Plant and other machinery Equipment, tools, fixtures and fittings

INVENTORIES The inventory is entered at either the acquisition value or the actual value, whichever is the lowest, according to the first in first out principle. As a result, the risk of obsolescence has been taken into account. RECEIVABLES Receivables are reported at the lesser of either the nominal value or the amount at which they are estimated to be received. RECEIVABLES AND LIABILITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCY Receivables and liabilities in foreign currency have been calculated using the exchange rate as at the balance sheet date. LIQUID FUNDS Liquid funds include cash and bank balances. GROUP ACCOUNTS The consolidated income statement and balance sheet include all companies in which the parent company directly or indirectly holds more than half of the shares' number of votes, as well as companies in which the Group has a controlling influence in other ways, and a more significant portion of the profit from operations. ACQUISITION ACCOUNTING The group accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council's recommendations regarding group accounts. All company acquisitions have been reported in line with acquisition accounting. Untaxed reserves are reported in the individual group companies, divided in the group balance sheet into a capital portion and a tax portion. The capital portion has been supplied to restricted reserves. The tax portion is reported as provisions under the heading Deferred Tax Liability.

5 years 20-70 years 5-20 years 3-7 years

RENTAL INCOME Rental income for buildings held for investment purposes is reported on a linear basis in accordance with the conditions stated in the applicable rental agreement.

The difference between depreciation according to plan and booked depreciation is reported as appropriations.

INCOME Income is reported to the extent that it is likely that the financial advantages will be credited to the company and the income can be calculated in a reliable manner.

AUDIT REPORT To the annual general meeting of

WIBAX AB

Corporate Identity Number 556262-9674 REPORT ON THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS AND THE GROUP ACCOUNTS I have carried out an audit of the annual accounts and the consolidated accounts of Wibax AB for the financial year 01/01/2014 - 31/12/2014. The Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's responsibility for the annual accounts and the group accounts. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for preparing annual accounts and group accounts that give a true and fair view in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, as well as for the internal checks that the Board of Directors and the Managing Director deem necessary to prepare annual accounts and group accounts that are free from material misstatement, irrespective of whether this is due to irregularities or errors. THE AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY My responsibility is to express my opinion on the annual accounts and the group accounts based on my audit. I have conducted the audit in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing and generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. These standards require that I comply with demands for professional conduct and carry out the audit in order to achieve reasonable assurance that the annual accounts and group accounts are free from material misstatement. An audit entails obtaining audit evidence through various measures regarding amounts and other information in the annual accounts and group accounts. The auditor selects which measures are to be carried out, for example by assessing the risks of material misstatement in the annual accounts and consolidated accounts, irrespective of whether these are due to irregularities or errors. During this risk assessment, the auditor gives consideration to those aspects of the internal checks that are of relevance to the way the company prepares the annual accounts and group accounts, in order to give a true and fair view with the aim of formulating auditing measures that are appropriate bearing in mind the circumstances, although not with the aim of making a pronouncement on the effectiveness of the company's internal checks. An audit also includes an evaluation of the appropriateness of the accounting principles that have been used, and of the reasonableness of the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's estimates in the accounts, as well as an evaluation of the overall presentation of the annual accounts and the group accounts. I consider that the audit evidence I have gathered is sufficient and appropriate to provide grounds for my opinion. OPINION In my opinion, the annual accounts and the group accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, and in all essential respects they provide a true and fair view of the parent company's and the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2014 and of their financial results and cash flows for the year according to the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The administration report is in agreement with

the other sections in the annual accounts and group accounts. I therefore recommend to the general meeting of shareholders that the income statement and the balance sheet for both the parent company and the Group be adopted. REPORT ON OTHER STATUTORY AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS AND OTHER STATUTES In addition to my audit of the annual accounts and the group accounts, I have also carried out an audit of the proposed allocation of the company's profit or loss, as well as the Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's administration of Wibax AB for the period 01.01.2014 – 31.12.2014. The Board of Directors' and the Managing Director's responsibility The Board of Directors is responsible for the proposed allocation of the company's profit or loss, and the Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the administration of the company in accordance with the Swedish Companies Act. THE AUDITOR'S RESPONSIBILITY My responsibility is, with reasonable assurance, to express my opinion on the proposed allocation of the company's profit or loss, as well as on the administration of the company, based on my audit. I have carried out the audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. As a basis for my opinion concerning the Board of Directors' proposed allocation of the company's profit or loss, I have examined the Board's reasons as well as a selection of the evidence supporting these, in order to assess whether the proposal is in agreement with the Swedish Companies Act. As a basis for my opinion concerning discharge from liability, I have, in addition to my audit of the annual accounts and the group accounts, examined significant decisions, actions taken and circumstances of the company in order to be able to determine the liability, if any, to the company of any Board Member or the Managing Director. I have also examined whether any Board Member or the Managing Director has, in any other way, acted in contravention of the Swedish Companies Act, the Swedish Annual Accounts Act or the Articles of Association. I consider that the audit evidence I have gathered is sufficient and appropriate to provide grounds for my opinion. OPINION I recommend to the general meeting of shareholders that the profit be dealt with in accordance with the proposal in the administration report and that the Members of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director be discharged from liability for the financial year.
