have the capacity to handle the heaviest tasks. We develop and
maintain the electronic infrastructure of more than 100,000 PC
users that are linked to the network of KMD.
The technology is apparent to the Danes when ballot cards,
pension calculations and housing benefits and last, but not least,
pay slips are printed for the more than 1 million private and
public sector employees. A number of large private businesses
outsource the printing and mail insertion of their customer
correspondence to us.
KMD links local authorities to a shared electronic network, which
is monitored and serviced 24 hours a day.
In addition, KMD develops web solutions and runs one of
Denmark’s largest and most secure nethotels servicing the
websites of more than 1,000 large and small businesses and
institutions.
KMD provides training and service in the application of all its
specialist standard systems. In addition, KMD handles a number of
administrative tasks outsourced by the public sector, and it
provides consultancy support in the implementation of new
information technology systems.
KMD works on the premise of open standards and develops all
new systems on a standard platform.
KMD has branches at Ballerup, Fladså, Odense, Århus and
Aalborg.
KMD provides effective information technology solutions
for the public and private sectors
With its 2,400 employees and revenue of more than 2.3 billion,
KMD is the largest Danish-owned information technology
enterprise.
KMD delivers information technology and consultancy services to
both the public and private sectors. KMD attaches great
importance to its services making a real difference to its
customers. With this in mind KMD provides a benchmark concept
that enables customers to measure the effectiveness of various
services from one local authority to another.
It is KMD’s strategic objective to maintain its position as one of
the top three providers of information technology services in
Denmark.
KMD is the market leading competence centre in e-government.
The solutions provided by KMD enable public sector employees to
handle current legislation as efficiently as possible. In addition,
KMD aims to improve citizen services by means of
computerisation.
KMD has developed Netborger.dk and e-Boks.dk, which are two
of the most widely used self-service portals in the country.
As one of the country’s largest providers of information
technology management and the largest application service
provider KMD has PCs, servers and mainframes at its disposal that

The supervisory and executive boards have today considered and approved the annual report of KMD A/S for the year ended
31 December 2004.
The annual report has been prepared in compliance with the Danish Financial Statements Act. In our view, the accounting
policies applied are appropriate, the accounting estimates are adequate, and the annual report provides the information that
is relevant in the evaluation of the company's financial position. We therefore take the view that the annual report gives a
true and fair view of the company's assets, liabilities and equity, of the financial position and the results of the company's
operations and cash flows for the financial year 2004.
We take the view that the integral strategic statement gives a true and fair view of the company's strategy and, to the best of
our knowledge, it reflects the main management focus and the initiatives and objectives of KMD for 2005.
The annual report is hereby submitted to the general meeting for approval.

significant estimates made by the management, as well as evaluating the overall annual report
presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit has not resulted in any qualification.

F inancial rat ios
KMD experienced yet another excellent year
KMD's overall objectives for 2004:
• To produce revenue growth in line with that of the market
and an operating margin of 4 per cent
• To be recognised as central government's prime provider of
solutions
• To create the highest level of customer satisfaction in
the market
• To be a stimulating workplace which is able to attract and
retain the best employees
• To offer products which are perceived by our customers as
attractive compared to those of our main competitors
• To be the customers' preferred choice in connection with
structural changes in the public sector
KMD produced a very good result for the second year running.
Revenue was DKK 2,376 million, up 5.9 per cent compared to
2003, and an operating margin of 8.4 per cent. Management
considers this a very satisfactory result for a year which saw the
transition from old to new local government structure.
Having in mind the imminent structural reform, KMD had
prepared a conservative budget with expected revenue growth of
4.5 percent and an expected operating margin of 4 per cent.
Revenue per employee has risen considerably in recent years. This
rise is partly due to increased effectiveness and a tight rein on
costs, which was implemented in 2001/2002. In 2004 we passed
the magic threshold of DKK 1 million per employee, reaching the
figure of DKK 1,008,404.
As anticipated, local authorities held back with major investments
during the year. On the other hand, the sale of a number of
supplementary products and services more than compensated for
the slow-down in major investments. For instance, a number of
our customers have required alignment of their IT solutions
portfolio prior to the mergers set to take place within local
government.
The profit has therefore been generated from the sale of many
components and services, but it is also the result of a continued
tight cost control generally and a goal-oriented continued
reduction in SG&A1
costs in the company.
Moreover, the result achieved in 2004 is the outcome of increased
business process and target control. KMD has now fully
implemented the enterprise management system SAP R/3, thereby
streamlining contract management and invoicing.
The net result is significantly improved on 2003, and this is
primarily due to the fact that there were no major foreign
exchange fluctuations on the loans denominated in foreign
currencies as was the case in both 2002 and 2003.
The cash position of KMD was reduced at the end of 2004
compared to year-end 2003. The decline is attributable to an
expansion of the mail centre at Ballerup, fresh investments in a
new office building in Aalborg and investments to expand the
operating capacity at KMD.
Major government contracts
To a large extent, KMD’s strategy has been to continue to
increase revenue in the government market. In 2004 we entered
into a number of contracts with central government. One of
these was the government’s new tax package, the so-called
"spring package”, which resulted in KMD being awarded a large

As of 1 January 2003 the corporate structure of KMD was changed so that KMD is now owned by
Kommune Holding A/S. All assets and liabilities have been transferred from the former KMD (now
Kommune Holding A/S) to KMD A/S as of 1 January 2003, apart from one building worth DKK 66.5
million and cash for DKK 152 million.

contracts with its customers. As regards local government, KMD
entered into major contracts with the municipalities of Lyngby
Taarbæk, Frederiksberg, Rødovre, Hvidovre and Ishøj.
KMD has entered into a contract on the development of a finance
system based on the SAP platform with the Municipality of Århus.
The finance system is to form the basis of KMD's future standard
finance system solution. A contract with the City of Copenhagen
concerning the product KMD Aktiv for the handling and payment
of social benefits is also of vital importance to the local authority
market.
By gathering all types of information, be it data in IT systems,
notes in a file or documents in a document folder, the KMD Sag
solution will become a platform for e-government . KMD Sag
remains one of KMD's major projects, and in 2004 a massive sales
effort produced satisfactory growth in revenue generated from
this solution.
Growth in technology & IT management
We have experienced a 30 per cent growth in IT management,
technology and installations assignments. One example of this is
the establishment of a development and management centre
shared by four local authorities in West and South Jutland. There
are several similarities between the above assignment and the
infrastructure mergers taking place in connection with the
structural reform.
We have entered into IT management contracts with e.g. the
municipalities of Hirtshals, Høng and Bjergsted. We have entered
into a contract to set up a major network solution for Roskilde
county authority, and we have agreed to set up IP
telecommuncations for Præstø, Ullerslev and Nyborg local
authorities.
As a result of extensive marketing measures, KMD has been
awarded more than 70 contracts to provide data back-up to its
customers in the local and central government and private sector.
contract with ToldSkat (Danish customs authorities) and a contract
for the so-called NemKonto with the Danish Agency for
Governmental Management. As from the late summer of 2005
NemKonto is to simplify payments from public funds to citizens
and enterprises, and it is therefore an important tool in realising
KMD's vision of increased public sector efficiency and
computerisation. Towards the end of the year KMD was also
awarded a contract via an EU tender to supply the Danish Court
Administration with a new intranet.
In addition, central government has outsourced quite a few
management tasks to KMD so that KMD is now in charge of
managing the finance systems (NaviStat) of a number of
government departments and agencies.
Break-through in the private sector
The private sector is crucial to KMD's strategy. In 2004 we enjoyed
a minor break-through in the private sector. At the turn of the
year the Union of Commercial and Clerical Employees in Denmark
moved the majority of its IT management to KMD. During the
year Forsikringsselskabernes Data Center (FDC) and several other
corporations outsourced large parts of their central IT
management tasks to KMD. Louis Poulsen Lighting is one of the
customers outsourcing its SAP management to KMD - a field in
which KMD is increasing its focus and resources considerably.
KMD’s profile as a Danish provider with Danish management is an
increasingly important factor in the outsourcing of services. At the
end of the year the mail centre entered into two important print
contracts with Politikens Hus and COOP Danmark.
With a view to further consolidating its position in the liberalised
energy market KMD acquired and integrated the energy unit of
CSC in 2004. The deal included the rights to the IT system PANDA,
which is a system for collecting and communicating energy data.
Consolidated local authority market
The local authority market remains KMD's core market. We have
managed to maintain our market share and produce revenue
growth in this market. KMD increasingly concludes comprehensive

Events after the balance sheet date
No events have occurred after the balance sheet date which
would materially affect the company's financial position as at 31
December 2004.
KMD expects growth in 2005
KMD's overall objectives for 2005:
• To produce revenue growth which as a minimum is in line
with that of the market
• For KMD to remain among the top three providers of
information technology services in Denmark
• To create the highest level of customer satisfaction in
the market
• To attract and retain the best employees
• To contribute to the development of Denmark as a
knowledge society
We therefore expect continued economic growth in the year
ahead, even though there is still some uncertainty as to how
many local authorities will make major decisions in 2005 as
regards IT in connection with the structural reform.
Several factors may affect KMD's markets and results, positively as
well as negatively:
• It might have a negative impact on the result if IT investments
are slowed down as a result of structural reform
• Depending on how many contracts are awarded to KMD, the
re-allocation of government tasks may affect the result
negatively or positively
• An increased sale of reform plans to local authorities in
connection with structural reform may improve the result
• Variations in the exchange rate of CHF and the short and
medium rates of interest might have an impact on the net
result in the year ahead
Major contract with SAP
KMD has decided to build several of its future systems on a SAP-
authority merger, and this seems to indicate great belief in KMD’s
competences in its core market. KMD anticipates an increased
dialogue with its customers during 2005 – and we also expect
some local authorities to be quick to make decisions concerning
the IT part.
KMD focuses on security
KMD manages large amounts of data for its customers, purely
administrative as well as confidential data. With a view to ensure
compliance with the provisions of the Danish Data Protection Act
as regards securing such data in order to prevent them from
getting damaged or being accidentally passed on to unauthorised
persons, KMD maintains an extensive security and monitoring
system. The system is subject to regular audit by an external
independent IT security audit, the Local Government Audit
Department. The said organisation has reviewed the general IT
controls at KMD in the following areas:
• Management of data centre and network
• Systems software – procurement, modifications and
maintenance
• Access to systems, data and facilities
• Applications – procurement, development and maintenance
The organisation’s report for 2004 to the supervisory board of
KMD concludes:
“In our opinion the general IT controls at KMD have been
maintained in the period from 1 January to 31 December 2004.”
Environmental policy
KMD’s environmental policy provides the general framework for
conduct in relation to the environment: “It is KMD’s policy to be
an environmentally friendly enterprise. Environmental concerns
are on a par with quality, efficiency and profitability. It is KMD’s
objective to continue to reduce the overall strain on the
environment."
KMD activities that may especially be a strain on the environment
are our print output and the day-to-day running of the buildings
of KMD. We therefore make a special effort in this area:
• KMD prints in excess of 300 million A4 pages and inserts more
than 80 million letters in envelopes a year. Printing is on
environmentally certified paper
12
Management's review 2004

The Effective Local Authority
The Effective Local Authority is the heading of a number of
benchmark clubs, in which KMD in consultation with an ever
growing number of local authorities provides documentation for
and compares the various day-to-day business processes in local
government. Experience is gained from local government across
the board, and new paths are found for effectiveness and
efficiency.
Membership of the clubs is anonymous, and the idea is for
members to be able to have access to their own figures only
when obtaining the reports. The said figures will be anonymously
bench-marked against an average in the clubs and the upper
fractile. There is open access to the member list, whereas
individual member data are kept confidential. The benchmarking
concept is also used in central government with great success.
Local authorities benefit from economies of scale in IT
An article published in the Danish newspaper “Jyllands-Posten”
noted “that the local authorities continue to reap great benefits
from the fact that the “IT wheel” has already been invented. Due
to economies of scale they spend far less money a year per IT
work station than do private businesses. The reason for this is that
the local authorities to a large extent use the same solutions - for
instance provided by KMD. At the same time user satisfaction is
greater in the local authorities than it is in private enterprises.”
The article was based on the findings of surveys that the
enterprise IT Optima regularly conducts of private and public
enterprises' IT systems.
Well-equipped for structural reform
It is still too early to reach any conclusions about KMD's position
as the preferred provider in relation to the structural reform - but
KMD is well prepared. For instance, we have spent over 10
millions to develop so-called reform plans, which are road maps
from A to Z, to guide local authorities through all IT aspects of
the structural reform.
During the past year KMD has communicated heavily with local
authorities about vital matters in connection with the structural
reform and how important it is to get the IT part in place
early on.
Customer satisfaction surveys have shown that as many as 89 per
cent of the customers agree or agree totally that KMD has the
experience and skills to implement the IT part of the local
Contracting out of IT tasks by local government almost came to a
standstill in 2004. The Municipality of Høje Taastrup has been
most consistent in contracting out as they have commissioned
KMD to implement and manage all their IT – with the exception
of local PC work stations.
Still highest level of customer satisfaction
KMD is still the IT provider with the highest level of customer
satisfaction in the local authority market. The one exception is
schools where KMD's solutions have failed to satisfy customers.
We are continually seeking to expand our knowledge of our
customers and their requirements and have now entered into 18
partnership agreements with local authorities. Partnerships are
often connected with the development of frontline solutions.
Partnership agreements are therefore typically concluded with
customers who desire to be at the cutting edge of development
and who have the knowledge, power and will to bring resources,
skills and knowhow to the trading relationship. Such agreements
often take the form of framework agreements for close and cross-
departmental co-operation to bring about changes.
In 2003 we set up a central helpdesk with the aim of making
KMD services more efficient, but it was not very well received by
our customers. Following a constructive dialogue with our
customers, the helpdesk was restructured, providing customers
with direct access to a set of dedicated expert centres.
Employee satisfaction was never greater
KMD conducts an employee satisfaction survey every year.
Employee satisfaction generally has never been higher than in
2004. As much as 97 per cent are either satisfied or very satisfied
about working for KMD. Every third employee is very satisfied,
and that is the highest figure ever. However, this does not change
the fact that there is still room for improvement, for instance in
connection with leadership skills. In addition, KMD adopted a
general policy for its working environment in 2004.
Open sources and interfaces
There has been much media coverage during the past year
concerning the so-called open sources programs, and criticism has
been levelled against the lack of open interfaces of KMD systems.
In the years ahead we will develop a number of open interfaces
that enable customers to choose between Microsoft Office and
competitors such as Open Office and Star Office.

skills. With this in mind KMD will focus more on the branding of
the enterprise KMD than on the branding of its products in the
years ahead.
In support of the branding of KMD we have entered into main
sponsorship contracts with two of the world's best women's
handball teams - in other words with Slagelse Dream Team and
Aalborg DH. Up to 2008 the two teams are to promote awareness
of KMD as an IT enterprise.
Facing increasingly toughened competition – in all markets - KMD
needs to position itself as a modern, goal-oriented IT workplace,
which puts initiative, vigour and effectiveness on the agenda.
Continued focus on skills development
If the growth strategy is to succeed, KMD must be able to attract
and retain the best employees. We will focus even more on this in
2005. As a case in point, we will improve leadership skills by
focusing on day-to-day management. We also intend to increase
our focus on recruitment and skills development.
Strategic alliances with universities
KMD has a long-standing tradition for good co-operation with
the university environments in Denmark, especially in Aalborg
and Odense. In 2004 this was expanded with a co-operation with
the Alexandra Institute in Århus and a strategic partnership with
the IT university in Ørestad.
As a knowledge-intensive large Danish IT enterprise KMD desires
to contribute to the consolidating of Denmark as a knowledge
society. By entering into strategic alliances with IT knowledge
environments in Denmark we ensure the exchange of knowledge
between KMD and the universities, and at the same time we set
up and develop a feeder for future employees. We will expand on
this focus in the years to come.
Reservations
The forecasts made in this management's review about 2005 and
the years ahead reflect management's current expectations of
certain future events and financial results. Predicting the future is
of necessity subject to a great deal of uncertainty, and the
realised results could therefore deviate from the forecasts.
Subsidiary and associated companies
e-Boks
e-Boks is a secure and free mail box in which the user can receive
electronic mail and store documents, such as the content of
business mail. Contracts have been concluded with almost all
Danish local authorities and many public and private enterprises,
including almost the entire bank sector.
14
Management's review 2004
The number of enterprises sending mail to e-Boks has now
exceeded 500. As a result you can now have advance tax
assessment forms, telephone bills, notices of assessment, utility
bills and other documents delivered to your e-Boks electronically.
The number of users has grown steadily since the launch of e-
Boks in 2002. In October 2003 e-Boks recorded user no. 200,000,
and in December 2004 the number was 475,000.
KMD owns one third of e-Boks A/S. The other co-owners are PBS
A/S and Post Danmark, both with one third each.
Civitas
Civitas A/S is a company wholly owned by KMD, a company
specialising in the sale and development of Navision products and
related services for central government. In consultation with the
Danish Agency for Governmental Management the company has
supplied more than 300 NaviStat-installations.
Shareholders
The total share capital of KMD A/S amounts to DKK 240 million
(240,000 shares) held by the parent company Kommune Holding
A/S, which is wholly owned by KL (the National Association of
Local Authorities).
Dividend
The supervisory board recommends to the company at the annual
general meeting that a dividend amounting to DKK 14.4 million is
distributed for the financial year 2004.

development of standardised solutions, which can be sold to local
authorities across the board. The establishment of an IT project
and consultancy business will enable us to better match the
future market with an anticipated increasing demand for
customer-specific solutions – both for the private and public
sectors.
As regards outsourcing of information technology, KMD intends
to provide a broad range of services and work to become the
number one provider of information technology management
services within UNIX and NT servers in the Danish market.
Customer satisfaction in all markets
KMD intends to maintain its position as the enterprise with the
highest level of customer satisfaction in the local authority
market.
During 2004 we made endeavours to increase central
government’s awareness of KMD, and our effort has proved
successful. Our focus for 2005 will be to lift the image of KMD
generally among key accounts in central government.
We have also succeeded in increasing awareness of KMD in the
private sector during the past year. Further to our strategy we
intend to focus on heightening the perception of KMD as a
provider of outsourced IT solutions among persons in charge of
information technology and finance in Danish enterprises.
Branding of KMD
In order to achieve long-term, broad marketing objectives, KMD
must promote increased awareness of its corporate identity and
platform. That means that we are changing from developing
everything ourselves to building our project-specific specialist
systems on top of SAP, a measure whereby we can develop a
given solution more quickly. With this in mind KMD has entered
into a major co-operation contract with SAP.
In the years ahead the formats we have developed for wage and
personnel, finance, and especially integral wage and finance
management will continue to play a role. In the years after that
the exploitation of the SAP-platform in the social benefits and
property fields will be drivers for growth.
Revised strategy
Once the structural reform is in place, KMD’s revenue generated
from local government may decline. In order to counter such a
scenario KMD has adopted a growth strategy which ensures that
KMD maintains its position among the top three service providers
in Denmark.
Our core business is still at the heart of the strategy. In our day-
to-day business activities we will continue to adapt KMD to the
changed local authority landscape with a view to maintaining our
position in the market. We will bring fresh blood to KMD and
meet the strategic challenges that we are facing. We will have
added focus on supporting information technology challenges
that arise in the wake of structural reform. Concurrently, we will
focus on alternative growth areas. For instance, we will establish
an IT project and consultancy business and increase our efforts in
connection with the outsourcing of information technology vis-à-
vis local and central government and corporations.
Until now, KMD's business model has been based on the

on the basis of current assessments of the amortisation/
depreciation method, useful life and the residual value of the
assets.
Goodwill and other intangible fixed assets are amortised over the
expected useful life, measured by reference to an assessment,
among other factors, of the nature and market position, the
stability of the industry and the dependency on key staff, and
have been amortised as follows:
Period of depreciation
Acquired software rights 3 years
Other rights 5 years
Property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line
basis over the expected useful life of the individual asset. The
depreciation periods, measured by reference to the historic cost
are as follows:
Depreciation period Residual value
Land and buildings 50 years Land value
Major construction works 10 years 0
Plant and machinery 2 - 4 years 0
Fixtures and fittings, IT equipment
and vehicles 2 - 5 years 0
Acquisitions below DKK 40,000 are expensed in the year of
acquisition.
Gains and losses on the replacement of fixed assets are included
in the book depreciation. Losses and gains are calculated as the
difference between the selling price less disposal costs and the
carrying amount at the time of the sale.
Special items
Special items include substantial exceptional transactions that do
not occur in the normal course of business, including gains and
losses incurred in connection with disposals, exceptional
depreciation charges of an unusual nature and provisions and any
reversal of such provisions.
Net financials
Financial income and expenses are recognised in the income
statement in the amounts that relate to the reporting period. Net
financials include interest income and expenses, dividends,
financial expenses related to leases, realised and unrealised
capital and exchange gains and losses relating to securities and
foreign currency transactions, amortisation of losses and loan
costs and surcharges and allowances under the advance-payment-
of-tax scheme etc. Dividends on investments, except for
investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, are
recognised as income in the reporting period in which the
dividends are declared.
Interest and other loan costs incurred in the financing of
intangible assets and property, plant and equipment, which relate
The annual report of KMD has been presented in accordance with
the provisions of the Danish Financial Statements Act pertaining
to enterprises in reporting class C.
Consolidated financial statements
In pursuance of section 112 of the Danish Financial Statements
Act no consolidated financial statements have been prepared, as
these are prepared by the parent company, Kommune Holding
A/S.
Currency conversion
Foreign currency transactions are translated into Danish Kroner at
the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of the transaction.
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated
into Danish Kroner at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
balance sheet date. Realised and unrealised exchange gains and
losses are recognised in the income statement as financial income
or expenses.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value.
Positive and negative fair values are recognised as other
receivables and other payables respectively.
Fair value adjustments of derivative financial instruments are
recognised in the income statement.
Public grants
Public grants given to cover expenses are recognised when there
is reasonable assurance that the enterprise complies with all the
conditions attaching to them. Grants which must be repaid under
certain circumstances are recognised only to the extent that they
are not expected to be repaid. Grants related to assets acquired
are set off against the cost of the asset concerned.
Income statement
Revenue
Income from the supply of services is recognised as revenue once
the service has been delivered. Income from the sale of goods for
resale and finished goods is included in the revenue when the risk
has passed to the buyer and when delivery has taken place. Value
added tax, indirect taxes and discounts are excluded from the
revenue.
Other external expenses
Other external expenses include costs incidental to producing the
revenue for the year, including cost of sales in connection with
goods for resale, and other external expenses for distribution,
sale, advertising, administration, premises, bad debts, lease
payments under operating leases etc.
Amortisation, depreciation and writedowns
Depreciation, amortisation and writedowns in respect of
intangible assets and property, plant and equipment is provided

Accounting pol ic ies appl ied to f inancial statements
to the production period, are not included in the cost.
Income from investments in subsidiaries and associated
companies
These include the proportionate share of the profit in subsidiaries
and associated companies after having eliminated intragroup
profits and losses and after deduction of depreciation for any
group goodwill.
Tax
Tax on the profit for the year includes current tax on the year's
expected taxable income, the year's deferred tax adjustments less
the share of tax for the year that relates to changes in equity.
Current tax and deferred tax relating to changes in equity are
taken directly to equity.
The parent company and the wholly owned subsidiaries are taxed
on a consolidated basis. Danish income taxes are expensed in the
parent company.
The balance sheet
Intangible fixed assets
Goodwill includes the excess price relative to the fair value of the
identifiable net assets on corporate acquisitions. Goodwill is
measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and writedowns.
An impairment test is made for goodwill if there are indications
of decreases in value. The impairment test is made for the activity
or business area to which the goodwill relates. Goodwill is written
down to the higher of the value in use and the net selling price
for the activity or the business area to which the goodwill relates
(recoverable amount) if it is lower than the carrying amount.
Other intangible assets include acquired intellectual property
rights and any redevelopment projects that satisfy the criteria for
capitalisation.
Development projects that are clearly defined and identifiable
and in respect of which the technological feasibility, sufficient
resources and a potential future market or development potential
in an enterprise can be demonstrated and where the intention is
to produce, market or use the product or the process, are
recognised as intangible assets provided that it is sufficiently
certain that the future earnings are adequate to cover the
production, sales and administrative expenses and the total
development costs. Other development costs are expensed in the
income statement as incurred.
Development costs are measured at direct costs and costs that can
be allocated on a reasonable and consistent basis to the
individual development projects.
An impairment test is made for intangible fixed assets acquired
and completed development projects if there are indications of
decreases in value. Furthermore, an annual impairment test is
made in respect of development projects in progress. The
impairment test is made for each individual asset or group of
assets respectively. The assets are written down to the higher of
the value in use and the net selling price of the asset or group of
assets (recoverable amount) where this is lower than the carrying
amount.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment includes land and buildings, plant
and machinery as well as fixtures and fittings, IT equipment and
vehicles. Property, plant and equipment is measured at cost with
the addition of any revaluation less accumulated depreciation
and writedowns.
Assets held under finance leases are measured at the lower of
cost according to the lease and the net present value of the lease
payments, calculated by reference to the interest rate implicit in
the lease less accumulated depreciation and writedowns. Assets
held under finance leases are classified as own fixed assets.
An impairment test is made for property, plant and equipment if
there are indications of decreases in value. The impairment test is
made for each individual asset or group of assets respectively. The
assets are written down to the higher of the value in use and the
net selling price of the asset or group of assets (recoverable
amount) where this is lower than the carrying amount.
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are
measured using the equity method as the parent company's
proportionate share of the companies' equity with the addition
of goodwill on consolidation and intragroup profits and negative
goodwill. Enterprises whose equity is negative are measured at
zero, as the proportionate share corresponding to the negative
value is set off against receivables, if any, and amounts in excess
hereof are recognised under provisions.
Securities that the company plans to hold till maturity are
measured at amortised cost, calculated on the basis of the
effective rate of interest at the time of acquisition. Price
adjustments are recognised as net financials in the income
statement.
Securities and investments are measured at the price prevailing
on the balance sheet date in the case of listed securities, or at the
estimated fair value in the case of unlisted securities.
Inventories
Inventories are measured on the basis of a weighted average.
Goods the cost of which exceeds the expected selling price less
costs of completion and sale are written down to such lower, net
realisable value.
19
bearing debt is subsequently measured at amortised cost, using
the effective interest rate method. Other debt is subsequently
measured at amortised cost corresponding to the nominal unpaid
debt.
Deferred income (liability)
Deferred income recognised as a liability comprises payments
received relating to income in subsequent financial years.
Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement shows the company’s net cash flows, the
year's changes in cash and the company's cash position at the
beginning of the year and at year-end.
Cash flows from operating activities are presented indirectly and
are made up as the net profit or loss for the year, adjusted for
non-cash operating items, changes in working capital, paid
financial and extraordinary items and paid income taxes.
Cash flows from investing activities comprise payments related to
additions and disposals of fixed assets, securities related to
investing activities and dividends received from subsidiaries and
associated companies.
Cash flows from financing activities comprise dividends paid to
shareholders, capital increases and reductions and the raising of
loans and repayments of interest-bearing debt.
Cash includes near money securities in respect of which the risk of
changes in value is insignificant.
Contingent liabilities and guarantees
Total tenancy commitments and commitments under operating
leases, which are not recognised in the balance sheet, are
recognised under contingent liabilities. Counter guarantees for
bank guarantees to secure individual contracts relating to
customers, and relating to a bank guarantee for holiday
commitments in accordance with a collective agreement
concluded with the Union of Commercial and Clerical Employees
in Denmark are recognised under contingent liabilities.
Pension commitments in respect of existing and former
employees, who are not and did not use to be members of the
executive board, are covered by a pension insurer. Where the
contributions already made are not sufficient to cover the current
liabilities calculated by the pension insurers, an additional annual
contribution is payable to the pension insurers. Special
commitments to employees engaged on public servants' terms,
including redundancy and severance pay, are recognised under
contingent liabilities.
Segment information
In the view of the management, the business of KMD A/S is one
segment, which on the customer side may be subdivided into
public and private customers.
Receivables
Trade receivables etc. are measured at the lower of amortised
cost and net realisable value, calculated by reference to an
assessment of each individual receivable.
Prepayments (asset)
Prepayments recognised under assets include prepaid expenses
and deferred tax assets.
Income taxes
Current tax charges are recognised in the balance sheet as the
estimated tax charge in respect of the expected taxable income
for the year, adjusted for previous years' taxable income and tax
paid in advance.
Provisions for deferred tax is calculated at 30 per cent of all
temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax
base, with the exception of temporary differences occurring at
the acquisition of the assets and liabilities that neither affect the
results of operations nor the taxable income, and the temporary
differences on non-amortisable goodwill.
Deferred tax concerning investments in subsidiaries and
associated companies is disclosed in the notes only, as the
investments are expected to be held for more than three years,
after which time there will be no tax liability.
Deferred tax assets are recognised at the value at which they are
expected to be utilised, either through elimination against tax on
future earnings or a set-off against deferred tax liabilities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are set off within the same legal
tax entity and jurisdiction.
Provisions
Provisions include expected expenses incidental to the obligation
to supply, restructuring etc. Provisions are recognised when, on
the balance sheet date, the company has a legal or constructive
obligation and it is probable that an outflow of resources
embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation.
Provisions expected to be settled more than one year after the
balance sheet date are measured at the net present value of the
expected payments. Other provisions are measured at net
realisable value.
Leases
Lease payments are measured at the net present value of the
remaining lease payments including any guaranteed residual
value, calculated by reference to the interest rate implicit in the
lease.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised on the raising of the loan at the
proceeds received less the transaction costs incurred. Interest-
