Independent auditors’ report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Sonion A/S

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sonion A/S and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2007 and 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

General Information

Sonion A/S (“Sonion” or “we”) is a global leader in the development, manufacturing and sale of advanced microacoustic and micromechanical components and solutions. We provide solutions for manufacturers of hearing instruments, mobile handsets, headsets, earphones and medical devices.

We have presented our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the IASB).

The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in thousands of Danish kroner (DKK). Danish kroner is considered our operations primary functional currency.

The 2007 annual report is the third annual report that is presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” was applied for the transition to IFRS in 2005.

In the current year, we have adopted all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB and the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (the IFRIC) of the IASB that are relevant to our operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on January 1, 2007. These standards and interpretations are: IFRS 7 “Financial Instruments: Disclosures,” revised IAS 1 “IAS 1 (revised 1997) – Presentation of Financial Statements,” revised IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation,” IFRIC 7 “Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies,” IFRIC 8 “Scope of IFRS 2” and IFRIC 10 “Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment.” The adoption of these new and revised Standards and Interpretations have not resulted in changes to our accounting policies in relation to recognition and measurement. Some of the new standards and interpretations have resulted in certain changes in the information included in the notes.

At the date of authorization of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective: revised IFRS 2 “Share-based Payment,” IFRS 8 “Operating Segments,” revised IAS 1 “IAS 1 (revised 1997) – Presentation of Financial Statements,” revised IAS 23 “Borrowing Costs,” revised IAS 27 “IAS 27 (revised 2000) – Consolidated Financial Statements and Accounting for Investment in Subsidiaries,” IFRIC 11 “IFRS 2 - Group and Treasury Share Transactions,” IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” and IFRIC 13 “Customer Loyalty Programmes.” We anticipate that the relevant adoption of these Standards and Interpretations will have no material impact on our future financial statements.

Consolidation

The Consolidated Financial Statements are based on our audited financial statements. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expense are eliminated upon consolidation.

We use the purchase method for accounting for acquisition of companies, after which we recognize goodwill from the acquisition of subsidiaries as the difference between the acquisition price and the fair value of the identifiable net assets.

We have applied the exemption allowed under IFRS 1 to apply IFRS 3, “Business Combinations”, to acquisitions of subsidiaries which occurred after 1 January 2004. For acquisitions which occurred prior to 1 January 2004, we recognized goodwill based on accounting principles generally accepted in Denmark (“Danish GAAP”).

We review goodwill at least once a year for potential impairment. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the recoverable amount, we recognize an impairment loss at the lower recoverable amount.

We did not acquire, divest or wind up any subsidiaries during 2006 and 2007.

Foreign Currencies

We translate, at initial recognition, transactions in other currencies than our functional currency at the exchange rates at the date of transaction. We translate receivables and debts in foreign currencies into Danish kroner by using the official exchange rates of the balance sheet date. We recognize realized and unrealized foreign currency translation, exchange gains and losses in the income statement. We include translation differences in the items to which they relate, and therefore translation gains and losses of receivables are included in revenues, and translation gains and losses of payables are included in production cost.

We include translation gains and losses regarding financial assets and liabilities in the income statement under financial income and financial expenses.

Translation of Financial Statements of Foreign Subsidiaries

Upon consolidation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, we translate amounts in our income statement into Danish kroner at average exchange rates for the year, and the balance sheet amounts at the year-end exchange rates.

We recognize the following foreign currency adjustments directly in equity


	•	The difference arising from translating the income statements of foreign subsidiaries from average exchange rates and from the rates ruling on the balance sheet date, respectively.

	•	Translation of equity of foreign subsidiaries at the beginning of the year to year-end-exchange rates.

	•	Debts in foreign currencies obtained to hedge investments in foreign subsidiaries.

Derivatives

When initially recognizing derivatives in the balance sheet, we recognize them at cost corresponding to the fair value of the paid and received payments, respectively. Afterwards, we measure derivative financial instruments at fair value, which we recognize under other receivables or other payables.

The change in the fair value of derivatives are accounted for as follows:


	•	fair value hedges that effectively hedge a recognized asset or liability is entered in the income statement together with the change in the value of the hedged asset or liability.

	•	cash flow hedges that effectively hedge future transactions is recognized directly in equity. When the hedged transactions are realized, the gains and losses are reclassified from equity to the initial carrying amount of the hedged item.

	•	that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized as incurred in the income statement as financial items.

Income Statement

Net Revenues

We recognize net revenues when delivery of goods has taken place and risk has been transferred to the customer. We recognize net revenues less allowed discounts and less VAT and taxes, charged on behalf of third party.

Infrequent Items

Infrequent items include one-off cost and income related to activities that are not expected to arise continuously such as costs related to restructuring programs, including impairment losses on non-current assets and provisions for redundancy costs.

Costs arising from our warrant program to the Executive Board and management employees are presented together with infrequent items.

Current and Deferred Corporate Income Taxes

The income statement reflects the tax computed on the taxable income for the year and the change in provisions for deferred tax. We also recognize directly in equity the tax effects of the items we recognize directly in equity. We make provisions for deferred tax on all temporary differences between carrying values and tax values of assets and liabilities, apart from deferred tax on temporary differences, arising either from initial recognition of goodwill or from initial recognition of a transaction, which at the time of the transaction will influence neither net income nor the taxable profit. The deferred tax assets related to tax-loss carry-forwards is included in the computation of deferred tax, if it is probable that we can utilize the losses within the foreseeable future.

We calculate deferred tax for our Danish and foreign subsidiaries at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates that have been enacted by the balance sheet date.

We include adjustments in deferred tax as a consequence of change in tax rates in the income statement or directly to equity if the tax relates to items that are charged in the same period or a different period, directly to equity.

We are jointly taxed with fully-owned Danish subsidiaries. We allocate current Danish corporate income tax between the jointly taxed Danish subsidiaries relative to their respective taxable income (full allocation method).

Assets

Goodwill

On initial recognition, we calculate goodwill as the difference between cost of the acquired company and the fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets.

We allocate the amount of goodwill to the lines of business (cash generating units) which it relates to.

Development Projects and Patents

We measure development projects and patents at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. We amortize on a straight-line basis as follows:


Patents		5-10 years
Development projects		Up to 7 years

Any internally-generated intangible asset arising from the Group’s development of advanced microacoustic and micromechanical components and solutions is recognised only if all of the following conditions are met:


	•	an asset is created that can be identified and sold (such as a new product for sale);

	•	the Group intends to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

	•	the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

	•	the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset;

	•	it is probable that the asset created will generate future economic benefits; and

	•	the development cost of the asset can be measured reliably.

Capitalized development projects are measured based upon incurred direct and indirect development expenses. Other development expenses are recognized as expenses in the income statement as incurred.

We amortize the capitalized development projects on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets based on an evaluation of the individual product’s life cycle. The amortization periods will not exceed seven years.

We review development projects and patents at least once a year with the purpose of identifying any indication of impairment and prepare detailed impairment tests if considered necessary.

Property, Plant and Equipment

We recognize property, plant and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. We add permanent improvements of assets to the asset. We recognize expenses related to repair and maintenance in the income statement. Tools and machinery which we manufacture are capitalized at cost, which consists of direct labor and materials plus other expenses that relate directly or indirectly to the particular tools.

Depreciation is calculated based on cost less expected residual value on terminated useful life as follows:


Property	20-50 years
Leasehold improvements	Shorter of the life of the lease or asset
Technical plant and machinery	5-10 years
Other plant	5-10 years
Operating equipment and fixtures	3- 5 years

We depreciate property, plant and equipment on a straight-line basis over the expected useful lives of the assets until their value equals the expected residual value. For technical plant and machinery, we determine the useful lives based on the expected lives of the product groups for which they have been developed, up to a maximum of ten years.

Impairment Losses

We review the carrying amount of intangible and tangible assets at least once a year with the purpose of identifying any indication of impairment. When the carrying value of an asset exceeds the recoverable amount of that asset, we recognize an impairment loss of the asset and charge that to the income statement.

If the asset does not generate cash flows independent of other assets, we estimate the recoverable amount of the less cash-generating unit in which the asset forms part of.

Usually, the recoverable amount is the value in use if we continued to use the asset. We recognize the value in use as the net present value of an estimated future income using a discount rate which reflects the risk free rate and the specific risks which rest on the asset and the cash-generating unit, respectively. If the net selling price obtainable under standard conditions is higher than the value in use, then we use the net selling price as the recoverable amount.

We reverse impairment losses when we estimate that the computed loss is no longer valid or if the loss has been reduced. We recognise the reversal in the income statement. Impairment losses on goodwill will not be reversed.

Inventories

We measure inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

We measure raw materials, supplies and merchandise at cost price in accordance with the FIFO principle.

The cost of finished goods and work in process includes direct materials and labor, as well as other expenses that we can relate directly or indirectly to the individual products. Indirect production costs include salaries, depreciation, expenses for office and workshop space, and shares of minor purchases and auxiliary tools.

Receivables

Receivables consist of trade receivables and other receivables. We measure receivables less allowances for uncollectibles based on an individual assessment of the accounts estimated to involve a risk of loss.

Equity

Treasury Shares

We recognize the acquisition of treasury shares directly in equity. We do the same for proceeds from sale of treasury shares and dividends received.

Dividends

We classify dividends to shareholders as a liability at time of adoption by the General Meeting.

Reserve for Exchange Adjustments

Reserve regarding foreign exchange adjustments includes exchange translation differences arising from translation of financial statements of foreign companies from their reporting currencies into DKK and the gains or losses from hedging of future transactions including related tax impact.

We reclassify foreign currency translation adjustments and the gains or losses from hedging transactions to the income statement when foreign subsidiaries are fully or partly realized and when the hedged transactions are recognized in the income statement.

Financial Liabilities

When we recognize financial liabilities we enter them at the proceeds received less transaction expenses incurred. We enter the transaction expenses in the income statement over the term of the loan.

Incentive Programs

We have applied the requirements of IFRS 2, “Share Based Payments”. In accordance with the transitional provisions, IFRS 2 has been applied to all grants of equity instruments after 7 November 2002 that were unvested at 1 January 2004.

We offer warrants to the Executive Board and management employees. The warrants can only be used for subscribing shares in our company, and any value of the arrangement cannot be converted into cash and, therefore, the warrants are accounted for as equity-settled arrangements. The warrants are measured at fair value at the date of grant. Any difference between fair value and payments made by the employees to enter into the warrants scheme is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period based on our estimate of the shares that will eventually vest. Fair value is measured using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

Pensions

We have solely entered into defined contribution-based pension agreements for certain employees. We recognize the contributions in the income statement in the period during which the employee has rendered services to our company.

Provisions

Provisions include costs related to restructuring programs, etc. We recognize and measure provisions at the best estimate of the cost necessary to settle the liabilities at the balance sheet date. We measure restructuring costs as a liability, when a detailed formal restructuring plan has been published to the parties affected by the plan no later than at the balance sheet date. The part of the provision that will be settled more than 12 months from the date of establishment of the restructuring plan are discounted using a discount factor reflecting the current market assessment of the time value of money and the risks specific to the provision.

Other Financial Liabilities

Other financial liabilities consist of bank loans, trade payables and other debt. Initially we recognize and measure other liabilities at fair value. Subsequently, these liabilities are measured at amortised cost applying the effective interest method whereby the difference between proceeds and nominal amount is recognised in the income statement as a financial expense over the life of the loans.

Leasing

Rentals under operating leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease, even if payments are not made on such a basis. We disclose lease obligations deriving from operating leases in the notes. We do not have any finance lease commitments.

Borrowing Costs

All borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

Cash Flow Statement

We present our cash flow statement according to the indirect method and show our year’s cash flow divided into cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities.

We translate cash flows into other currencies than our functional currency in the cash flow statement by using the average exchange rates of the year.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash less bank overdraft, which is an integrated part of our cash management.

NOTE 1 - Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments

In the process of determining the accounting value of certain assets and liabilities some degree of estimation is required to determine how future events would affect the value of these assets and liabilities at December 31, 2007 and 2006.

Estimates that are critical to the financial statements include e.g. determination of depreciation, amortization and impairment losses, value of development projects, share based payments, calculation of inventory write-downs, provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets.

The estimates are based on assumptions which management regards as feasible, however, forward looking statements are naturally uncertain and unpredictable. The assumptions can be incomplete or inaccurate and unexpected events or circumstances can arise. Furthermore, we are exposed to risks and uncertainties which could lead to the actual results deviating from these judgments.

In connection with practical implementation of the described applied accounting principles, we have made the following critical accounting judgments:

Intangible Assets

The measurement of intangible assets including goodwill could be significantly affected by the judgments and estimates that were used as the foundation of the calculated values. For a description of the impairment test for intangible assets please see Note 7.

Development Projects

We invest significant resources into the research and development of advanced microacoustic and micromechanical components and solutions. The point at which a projects moves from research stage to development stage is considered to be a critical accounting judgment. The factors which are taken into account are the market potential for each product as well as the technical performance of each project.

We have introduced a formalized process for evaluation of development projects’ ability to generate future earnings. Based on this process and the continuing assessment of the development projects’ technical and market potential (and consequently the projects’ expected economic potential), we estimate which incurred costs for development can be capitalized. In addition, we estimate which ongoing and finished development projects contain sufficient economic potential to continue to be recognized as an asset on the balance sheet.

Inventories

On a regular basis, we perform assessments of inventories to determine if the inventory is saleable and at what price the inventories are expected to be sold. On this basis we assess the need for making write-downs of technically obsolete goods and goods that are expected to be sold at a value that is lower than the carrying value.

Share Based Payments

We have offered warrants to a group of management employees. To participate in the warrant program, the management employees will pay a sum determined by the estimated fair value of the issued warrants. Since the employees have paid a sum equal to fair value at the grant date, we recognize no costs in the income statement regarding this program. All outstanding programs at December 31, 2007 have ceased in February 2008 upon our acquisition by Technitrol Incorporated (“Technitrol”), see Note 23.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (cont’d)

NOTE 1 - Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgments (cont’d)

The calculation of share based payments requires the use of a statistical model to calculate the fair value. The model used to value the warrant programs in both the current and prior years is the Black Scholes Model. The Black Scholes model requires management to estimate certain assumptions. The assumptions which require the most substantial amount of management judgment are the fair value of the underlying stock and the volatility of our stock.

As our shares are not publicly traded, the fair value of the underlying stock has been determined based on historical financial performance as well as forecasted future cash flow information reviewed by our Board of Directors. As a result of the subjective nature of this estimate, this value may be significantly different if calculated using another model. As there is no historical trend on which to base the volatility of our common stock, we have reviewed the historical volatility of similar entities when determining the volatility to be utilized in the calculation.

Provisions

At December 31, 2007 and 2006, provisions contained obligations for restructuring costs related to the transfer of production from Poland and Netherlands to Vietnam. The transfer is completed in stages. We have offered employees various forms of compensation, and the size of the obligations depends on multiple factors such as the actual time of termination of their employment and the performance of the employees in the phase-out period. The recognition of the obligations is based on estimates of the actual time of retirement and performance in the phase-out period. The part of the provision that will be settled more than 12 months from the balance sheet date is discounted using a discount factor of 6% p.a. based on our effective borrowing rate and an assessment of the risks relating to the restructuring provisions.

NOTE 7 - Intangible Assets (cont’d)

Goodwill

Goodwill was recognised in connection with the establishment of the Sonion Group in 2000 following the acquisition of Microtronic A/S and Kirk Acoustics A/S. Originally the activities within Microtronic A/S and Kirk Acoustics A/S were treated as separate cash generating units. However, as a result of reorganisations including new and close cooperation within production, development and sales, the original cash generating units were, in effect from 2004, no longer considered applicable and from 2004 the Group has been seen as one cash generating unit and the annual impairment testing has since then solely been performed for the Group as a whole.

The recoverable amount is determined based on the value in the use of our company. The critical uncertainties related to the calculation of value in use are discount rates, growth rates and the expectations for development in sales prices and production costs in the budget and terminal periods. The value in use is calculated based on the cash flows, presented in the latest budgets and forecast approved by Management for the coming three years. As for the years succeeding the budget and forecast period, the cash flows have been extrapolated using a growth factor in the terminal period of 1.0% taking into account an expected inflation rate of 2.5%. The used growth rate does not exceed the average long term growth rate for the markets we operate in. The used discount rate is set at 9% pre-tax. The discount rate reflects the risk free rate and the specific risks attached to our company. The cash flow and the discount rate are both determined on a pre-tax basis. The determined growth rate is based on an industry estimate. Based on the impairment test performed the calculated value in use exceeds the carrying amount and hence no impairment loss has been recognized in 2007 or 2006.

Other Intangible Assets

Apart from goodwill, all intangible assets are regarded as having definite useful lives over which the assets are amortized, as described in our accounting policies.

Long-term provisions	7,142	31,872

Provisions at December 31	27,691	49,252

Provisions at 31 December 2007 and 2006 cover restructuring costs. In 2006, we commenced a restructuring plan in connection with transfer of production from Poland to Vietnam. These restructuring costs included DKK 35,1 million of employee termination benefits and DKK 14,2 million of lease abandonment costs. In 2007, we entered into an agreement with a third party to transfer certain employees and the property lease contracts in Poland which were restructured enabling us to reduce the restructuring provision initially established in the year ended 31 December 2006. These amounts have been included as “provision reversed” in the table above. The remaining liability will be settled during the years ended 31 December 2008 and 2009. The part of the liability to be settled more than 12 months from the balance sheet date is discounted back to December 31, 2007 and 2006 using a factor of 6% p.a. The discount rate was determined based on our effective borrowing rate as of the date when the provision was established.

NOTE 15 – Borrowings (cont’d)

In February 2002, IFU injected capital to acquire shares in Kirk Acoustics China Holding A/S, one of our subsidiaries. Effective January 1, 2007, through December 31, 2011, we are required, upon request by the IFU, to redeem these shares. The redemption obligation as per agreement involves repayment of IFU’s original capital injection plus interest on initial investment at a rate of 12% per annum. We include these shares as a financial liability as a result of the redemption obligation. In February 2008 we redeemed the shares held by IFU.

During the year, borrowings carried interest at 4.20% on a weighted-average basis. The banks determine the interest rates based on LIBOR + interest rate margin. Ordinary bank debt (including bank overdraft) carries interest based on CIBOR + interest rate margin. By the end of December 2007, our availability on existing bank overdraft was DKK 70,493 thousand (2006: DKK 151,632 thousand).

Group Policy for Managing Financial Risks

As a consequence of our business, investments and financing, we are exposed to normal financial risk in the form of currency risk, interest rate risk and credit risk and liquidity risk. We observe the Board of Directors’ approved finance policies, which operate with a low risk profile in order to ensure that currency, interest and credit risk is purely of a commercial nature. Our use of derivatives is managed through the approved policy of our Board of Directors and by internal procedures which determine limits and which derivatives can be used.

Currency Risk

We are primarily exposed to currency risk on the net revenue side and related receivables. We hedge this risk as needed through available hedging instruments. The goal is to maintain a reasonable balance between hedged and unhedged revenue and expenses. In our estimation, the overall currency risk is considerable.

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk relates to interest-bearing debt and interest-bearing assets. On December 31, 2007, our interest-bearing debt amounted to DKK 844 million (2006: 719 million), consisting of bank debt and other interest-bearing debt less cash. A reasonable proportion of our bank debt has been hedged at a fixed interest rate through interest-rate-hedging instruments, and for this reason we assess the interest rate risk to be limited.

Credit Risk

We have considerable receivables with customers, and the credit risk involved with an individual customer or collaboration partner can be high. We continuously evaluate customers and business associates, and when there is a significant credit risk, we consider the need for security, guarantees or credit insurance coverage. Our losses have been insignificant in the past, and we consider the overall risk to be low.

NOTE 20 - Derivative Financial Instruments, Risk and Capital Management (cont’d)

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk is our risk of failing to meet contractual obligations due to insufficient liquidity. Our policy is for the raising of capital and investment of liquidity to be managed centrally and to ensure effective liquidity management which primarily involves obtaining sufficient committed credit facilities to ensure adequate financial resources and through a continuous review of cash in-flows generated from our operations.

Currency Risk related to Assets and Liabilities recognised in the Balance Sheet (Fair Value Hedges)

Our use of derivatives relating to assets and liabilities is managed through the approved policy of our Board of Directors and by internal procedures which determine limits and which derivatives that can be used. The following is a summary of our financial assets and financial liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and showing how much of the net position which we have decided to hedge through forward contracts.

Swap contracts concerning fixed-rated debt measured at fair value amount to an unrealized capital gain of DKK 1,252 thousand (2006: DKK 1,210 thousand). The amount is included in other receivables and in equity.

If interest rates had been 0.5% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant the negative/positive impact would have been DKK 4,488 thousand (2006: 3,596 thousand) on our net income for the year.

Credit Risk

Our credit risk primarily relates to trade accounts receivable.

We do not have any significant credit risks related to one customer. We sell components to companies which are well positioned on national and international markets. These companies are considered to be reputable companies. All outstanding trade accounts receivable are from reputable companies. We continuously evaluate customers and business associates and when facing significant credit risks the need for security / guarantee or credit insurance coverage is considered.

The maximum credit risk is related to trade accounts receivable and its corresponding carrying value at each period end.

Forward exchange contracts are made with reputable credit institutions.

Capital Structure and Management

Management’s strategy and overall goal is to ensure a continued development and strengthening of our capital structure which supports long-term profitable growth and a solid increase in key earnings and balance sheet ratios. Management regularly assesses whether our capital structure is in the interests of our company and its’ shareholders. At December 31, 2007 we had interest-bearing debt totaling DK 898 million (2006: 784 million) and cash and cash equivalents of DKK 53 million (2006: 65 million) which is considered reasonable in the light of its current needs in terms of financial flexibility.

No changes have been made to our strategy, guidelines and procedures for control of capital structure and management in 2007.

No other transactions have been conducted with the Board of Directors, the Executive Board, other management employees, major shareholders or other related parties, apart from intra-group transactions, which have been eliminated in the Consolidated Financial Statements, and ordinary management remuneration, see Note 19.

NOTE 22 - Share-Based Payment

We have established two warrants programs, of which one expired on December 31, 2005 (“2005 program”) and the other expires on December 31, 2008 (“2008 program”). Both programs can only be utilized by subscribing for shares in our company (“Equity program” as defined in IFRS 2).

2005 Program

The program expired on December 31, 2005. 8,372,450 warrants out of 15,393,156 issued warrants were exercised and used for subscription for shares in our company at a price of 7.73 per share.

Following the exercise of the warrants and subscription for shares our company through Sonion Roskilde A/S, a wholly owned subsidiary, bought back 7,470,418 shares in our company at a price equal to the subscription price with an agreement to adjust the price to the price, which the majority shareholders would obtain upon selling or listing the shares of our company, provided that the sales or listing would take place by December 31, 2007 at the latest. This potential purchase price adjustment did not become effective by December 31, 2007 since we had not been sold or listed by this date.

2008 Program

The program was established in 2005 and authorizes the warrant holder to subscribe for shares in our company at any given time until December 31, 2008.

Each warrant entitles the holder to subscribe for shares in our company for DKK 1 nominal at a rate of DKK 9.02 at December 31, 2007 (DKK 8.35 at December 31, 2006). The shareholders have authorized the Board of Directors to issue a total of 6,000,000 warrants, of which 0 were issued during 2007 (2006: 333,000 warrants).

As the participating employees paid a price for the warrants granted equal to the fair value of the issued warrants, no cost was recognized in the income statement for the warrants issued in 2006 and 2005. In 2006 the price paid per warrant was DKK 1.32.

After 31 December 2007 and following the sale of our entire share capital to Technitrol, all issued warrants have been taken over by an entity within the Technitrol Group without any compensation. Refer to Note 23 for discussion of this subsequent event.

NOTE 23 – Events After the Balance Sheet Date

On January 9, 2008, our shareholders announced that they have entered into an agreement with Technitrol. (NYSE:TNL) to sell 100% of the shares in Sonion A/S. Technitrol, a US publicly listed company, is a worldwide producer of electronic components, electrical contacts and other precision engineered parts. We will become part of Technitrol’s Electronic Components business. In connection with our sale to Technitrol our bank debt has been repaid. In the future, our operations will be primarily financed by intercompany loans from Technitrol. On February 28, Technitrol completed the acquisition of our company pursuant to the Share Agreement. The purchase price was equivalent to approximately US$ 410 million, net of our cash and cash equivalents.
