Report of Independent Auditors
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of
KIRK telecom A/S
We have audited the accompanying consolidated Balance Sheets of KIRK telecom A/S and its subsidiaries as of 30 April 2005 and 2004, the related consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements for each of the three years in the period ended 30 April 2005, and the consolidated statements of changes in equity for each of the two years ended 30 April 2005 and 2004 expressed in Danish kroner. These consolidated Financial Statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated Financial Statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated Financial Statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated Financial Statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KIRK telecom A/S and its subsidiaries at 30 April 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 30 April 2005, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in Denmark.
Generally accepted accounting principles in Denmark vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note 22 to the consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial statements
Accounting Policies
Basis of preparation
The Consolidated Balance Sheets of the KIRK Group as of 30 April 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements for each of the three years in the period ended 30 April 2005 and the consolidated statements of changes in equity for each of the two years ended 30 April 2005 and 2004 have been prepared because 100% of the shares in KIRK telecom A/S with effect from 3 January 2006 were sold to the American company SpectraLink Corporation, which is listed at NASDAQ in the USA. In connection with the acquisition SpectraLink must report certain information to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including audited consolidated financial statements for KIRK telecom A/S.
The Financial Statements are in accordance with the original Danish statutory annual report as of 30 April 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated income statements and the consolidated cash flow statements for each of the three years in the period ended 30 April 2005 and the consolidated statements of changes in equity for each of the two years ended 30 April 2005 and 2004 which have been submitted and registered with the Danish Commerce and Companies Agency, the differences to this version of the Financial Statements are as follows:
    The Financial Statements have been translated into English
 
    Management’s Statement on the consolidated financial statements has not been included.
 
    Only three years of Group Financial Highlights have been included.
 
    Management’s Review has been removed. Description of main activity and subsequent events have been moved to the footnotes.
 
    It does not contain any figures applicable to the parent company. Therefore a few changes have been made to the report to make it consistent.
 
    It contains comparative figures for three years regarding the Income Statement and Notes to the Income Statement.
 
    A changed definition of cash and cash equivalents in the Cash Flow Statement has been adopted. The description of Accounting Policies, Cash Flow Statement and Key Figures has been changed accordingly.
 
    It contains an additional note 22, in which Profit/(loss) and Shareholders’ Equity have been reconciled to U.S. GAAP.
The Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Danish Financial Statements Act applying to enterprises of reporting class C, except that financial information for the parent company KIRK telecom A/S has been omitted.
Recognition and measurement
Based on the above, revenues are recognised in the income statement as earned, which includes recognition of value adjustments of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value or amortised cost. Furthermore, all expenses incurred to achieve the earnings for the year are recognised in the income statement, including depreciation, amortisation, impairment losses and provisions as well as reversals due to changed accounting estimates of amounts that have previously been recognised in the income statement.
Assets and liabilities are initially measured at cost. Subsequently, assets and liabilities are measured as described for each item below.

 


 

Basis of consolidation
Certain financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost, which involves the recognition of a constant effective interest rate over the maturity period. Amortised cost is calculated as original cost less any deductions and with addition/deduction of the cumulative amortisation of any difference between cost and the nominal amount. In this way, capital losses and gains are allocated over the maturity period.
Recognition and measurement take into account predictable losses and risks occurring before the presentation of the Financial Statements which confirm or invalidate affairs and conditions existing at the balance sheet date.
The consolidated financial statements comprise the accounts of KIRK telecom A/S and the subsidiaries KIRK scantel A/S and KIRK telecom Inc., USA.
On consolidation, elimination is made of intercompany income and expenses, shareholdings, dividends and accounts as well as of realised and unrealised profits and losses on transactions between the consolidated enterprises.
The Financial Statements used for the purpose of the Financial Statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies of the Group. The Financial Statements of the Group have been prepared on the basis of the financial statements of KIRK telecom A/S and the subsidiaries KIRK scantel A/S and KIRK telecom Inc., USA by combining accounting items of a uniform nature.
KIRK telecom A/S’s investments in the consolidated subsidiaries are set off against KIRK telecom A/S’s share of the net asset value of subsidiaries stated at the time of consolidation.
Leases
Leases of which the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership (finance leases) are recognised in the balance sheet at the lowest of fair value of the leased asset and the net present value of the lease payments, computed through the application of implicit interest rate as the discount rate or an approximated value. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated and written down for impairment according to the same policies applied to the other property, plant and equipment of the Group.
The remaining lease obligation is capitalised and recognised in the balance sheet under debt, and the interest element on the lease payments is charged over the lease term to the income statement.
All other leases are considered operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are recognised on a straight-line basis in the income statement over the lease term.

 


 

Translation policies
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated during the year at the exchange rates at the dates of transaction. Gains and losses arising due to differences between the transaction date rates and the rates at the dates of payment are recognised in financial income and expenses in the income statement.
Receivables, payables and other monetary items in foreign currencies that have not been settled at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. Any differences between the exchange rates at the balance sheet date and the transaction date rates are recognised in financial income and expenses in the income statement.
For foreign subsidiaries the income statements are translated at average exchange rates, whereas balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
Exchange adjustments arising on the translation of the opening equity of foreign enterprises and exchange adjustments arising from the translation at average exchange rates of the income statements of foreign enterprises are recognised directly in equity.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are initially recognised in the balance sheet at cost and are subsequently remeasured at their fair values. Positive and negative fair values of derivative financial instruments are included as prepayments and deferred income, respectively.
Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges of a recognised asset or a recognised liability are recognised in the income statement as are any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or the hedged liability.
Changes in the fair values of derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of expected future transactions relating to purchases and sales in foreign currencies are recognised in prepayments or deferred income and retained earnings under equity respectively. If the expected future transaction results in the recognition of assets or liabilities, the amount is transferred from equity and recognised in the cost of the asset or the liability respectively. Amounts deferred in equity are transferred to the income statement in the period in which the hedged item affects the income statement.
Corporation tax and deferred tax
KIRK telecom A/S is jointly taxed with its wholly owned foreign subsidiary. The tax effect of the joint taxation is recognised in the taxable income of KIRK telecom A/S.

 


 

Tax for the year consists of current tax for the year, deferred tax for the year, and tax on profit for the year in subsidiaries.
Current tax liabilities and current tax receivable are recognised in receivables in the balance sheet in the event of overpayment of tax on account, and in debt in the event of underpayment of tax on account.
Deferred tax is measured under the balance sheet liability method in respect of all temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax base of assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax assets, including the tax base of tax loss carry-forwards, are measured at the value at which the asset is expected to be realised, either by elimination in tax on future earnings or by set-off against deferred tax liabilities within the same legal tax entity and jurisdiction.
Adjustment is made for deferred tax concerning unrealised intercompany gains and losses.
Deferred tax is measured on the basis of the tax rules and tax rates of the respective countries that will be effective under the legislation at the balance sheet date when the deferred tax is expected to crystallise as current tax.
Income Statement
Revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods for resale and finished goods is recognised in the income statement provided that delivery and transfer of risk have been made to the purchaser by year end. Revenue is recognised exclusive of VAT and net of discounts relating to sales.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales comprises direct and indirect expenses incurred to manufacture the finished goods representing revenue for the year, including expenses for raw materials and consumables purchases, salaries and wages, renting and leasing as well as depreciation of and impairment losses on production plant.
Cost of sales also includes development costs that do not meet the criteria for capitalisation as well as amortisation of capitalised development costs.
Sales and Distribution Expenses
Sales and distribution expenses comprise expenses for distribution and sales campaigns relating to goods sold during the year, including expenses for sales personnel, marketing, depreciation and amortisation as well as losses on trade receivables.

 


 

Administrative Expenses
Administrative expenses comprise expenses for management and administration of the Group, including expenses for administrative personnel, management, office expenses, insurance, depreciation and amortisation.
Financial income and expenses
Financial income and expenses comprise interest, realised and unrealised exchange adjustments, amortisation of loans as well as extra payments and repayment under the on-account taxation scheme.
Balance Sheet
Intangible assets
Development projects
Development projects comprise salaries, amortisation and other expenses directly or indirectly attributable to the Group’s development activities.
Development projects that meet the accounting criteria for recognition in the balance sheet, are recognised as intangible assets.
Development projects that do not meet the criteria for recognition in the balance sheet are recognised as expenses in the income statement as incurred.
Capitalised development costs are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses or at a lower recoverable amount.
On completion of development work, capitalised development costs are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period of its expected economic benefit. The amortisation period is 3 years.
Software rights
Software rights are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and less any accumulated impairment losses or at a lower value in use. The amortisation period is 2 years.

 


 

Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and less any accumulated impairment losses.
Cost comprises the cost of acquisition and expenses directly related to the acquisition up until the time when the asset is ready for use.
Depreciation based on cost reduced by any residual value is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets, which are
     
Plant and Machinery
  3-8 years
Other fixtures and fittings, tools and equipment
  3-8 years
Leasehold improvements
  5 years
Gains and losses on current replacement of property, plant and equipment are recognised in “Production costs”, “Sales and distribution costs” and “Administrative costs”, respectively.
Impairment of fixed assets
The carrying amounts of both intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are reviewed on an annual basis to determine whether there is any indication of impairment other than that expressed by amortisation and depreciation. If so, the asset is written down to the higher of net selling price and value in use.
Assets for which a value in use cannot be determined as the asset does not on an individual basis generate future cash flows are reviewed for impairment together with the group of assets to which they are attributable.
Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost under the FIFO method and net realisable value. The net realisable value of inventories is calculated as the total of future sales revenues expected, at the balance sheet date, to be generated by inventories in the process of normal operations and determined allowing for marketability, obsolescence and development in expected sales sum less the estimated expenses necessary to make the sale.
The cost of goods for resale, raw materials and consumables equals landed cost.
The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises the cost of raw materials, consumables and direct labour with addition of indirect production costs. Indirect production costs comprise the cost of indirect materials and labour as well as maintenance and depreciation of the machinery and equipment used in the manufacturing process as well as costs of factory administration and management. Interest expenses are not recognised.

 


 

Receivables
Receivables are recognised in the balance sheet at the lower of amortised cost and net realisable value, which corresponds to nominal value less provisions for bad debts. Provisions for bad debts are determined on the basis of an individual assessment of each receivable, and in respect of trade receivables, a general provision is also made based on the Group’s experience.
Equity
Dividend
Dividend is recognised as a liability at the time of adoption at the Annual General Meeting. Dividend expected to be distributed for the year is disclosed as a separate equity item.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when — in consequence of an event occurred before or on the balance sheet date — the Group has a legal or constructive obligation and it is probable that economic benefits must be given up to settle the obligation.
Other provisions include warranty obligations in respect of repair work within the warranty period. Provisions are measured and recognised based on experience with guarantee work.
Financial debts
Loans from credit institutions are recognised initially at the proceeds received net of transaction expenses incurred. Subsequently, the loans are measured at amortised cost equal to the capitalised value using the effective interest method; the difference between the proceeds and the nominal value (the capital loss) is recognised in the income statement over the loan period.
Other debts are measured at amortised cost, substantially corresponding to nominal value
Cash Flow Statement
The Group cash flow statement shows the Group’s cash flows for the year broken down by operating, investing and financing activities, changes for the year in cash and cash equivalents as well as the Group’s cash and cash equivalents at the beginning and end of the year.

 


 

Cash flows from operating activities
Cash flows from operating activities are calculated as the net profit/loss for the year adjusted for non-cash operating items such as depreciation, amortisation and impairment losses, provisions as well as changes in working capital, interest received and paid and corporation tax paid. Working capital comprises current assets less short-term debt excluding items included in cash and cash equivalents.
Cash flows from investing activities
Cash flows from investing activities comprise cash flows from acquisitions and disposals of intangible assets, property plant and equipment as well as fixed asset investments.
Cash flows from financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities comprise cash flows from the raising and repayment of long-term debt as well as payment of dividend to shareholders.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise “Cash at bank and in hand” under current assets.

22   Reconciliation to United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP)
    The consolidated Financial Statements of the KIRK Group have been prepared in accordance with Danish Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Danish GAAP).
 
    Danish GAAP differ in certain respects from U.S. GAAP. A description of the significant differences between Danish GAAP and U.S. GAAP as they relate to the KIRK Group are discussed in further detail below.
  a)   Revenue recognition
    In accordance with Danish GAAP, revenue is in general recognized when the delivery has occurred, a binding sale agreement has been made, the sales price is fixed and determinable and collection is probable. Under U.S. GAAP, revenue is recognized in accordance with Statement of Position (SOP), 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” and all related interpretations as the Company’s products are integrated with software that the Company has concluded is more than incidental to the functionality of the equipment, primarily based on the fact that the Company provides unspecified software upgrades and enhancements related to the equipment as a separate offering on certain of its products. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. In instances where final acceptance of the product, system, or solution is specified by the customer, revenue is deferred until all acceptance criteria have been met.
  b)   Development cost
    In accordance with Danish GAAP, development projects that meet specified criteria are capitalized as intangible assets. Capitalized development costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the period of the expected economic benefit from the development work, but not exceeding 3 years. Under U.S. GAAP, research and development costs other than software development costs are recorded as an expensed as incurred. Software development costs incurred prior to the establishment of technological feasibility are included in research and development and are expensed as incurred. Software development costs incurred subsequent to the establishment of technological feasibility through the period of general market availability of the product are capitalized, if material. Historically, costs incurred during such period have been insignificant and as a result all software development costs are expensed as incurred.

 


 

  c)   Inventories
    In accordance with Danish GAAP, the net realizable value of inventories is calculated at the amount expected to be generated by sale in the process of normal operations and the allowance for obsolete inventory is updated upward or downward based on current information. Under U.S. GAAP, allowances for inventory obsolescence are only adjusted downward when the identified products are sold to a customer or the product is written off.
  d)   Available for sale securities
    In accordance with Danish GAAP, securities are measured at their fair values. Realized and unrealized gains or losses are recognised in the income statement. Under U.S. GAAP these securities are classified as available-for-sale equity securities, where unrealized gains or losses are to be reported as other comprehensive income, a separate component of shareholders’ equity, until realized.
  e)   Hedge accounting, derivative financial instruments
    In accordance with Danish GAAP, derivative instruments qualify as hedges if they are designated as hedge contracts and meet certain accounting criteria. Under U.S. GAAP these Danish accounting criteria do not meet the requirements of hedging as defined in SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. Accordingly, changes in fair value of derivative instruments are recognized currently in the income statement.
  f)   Effect on tax of US GAAP adjustments
    This reconciliation item includes all tax effects of US GAAP adjustments.
    The effect in net profit/(loss) and shareholders’ equity is stated below as if the Consolidated Financial Statements had been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
