opera-tions and the Group’s cash flows for the financial year ended 31 Decem-ber 2010.

Independent auditors’ report
The Auditor has attached the following audit report to the consolidated financial statements.
Responsibility of the auditors and basis of opinion
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Danish auditing stan-dards and generally accepted auditing practices; cf. the audit instructions of Guidelines for Approved Technologi-cal Service in Denmark 2005. These standards require that we comply with ethical standards and plan and perform our audit to obtain reasona-ble assurance that the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company’s financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit comprises procedures to ob-tain audit evidence of the amounts and disclosures stated in the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company’s financial statements. The procedures chosen depend on the auditors’ assessment, including an assessment of the risk of material mis-statement in the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company’s financial statements, regardless of whether such misstatement is the result of fraud or error. In the risk assessment, the auditors consider internal controls of relevance to the In-stitute’s preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements and Parent Company’s financial state-ments which give a true and fair view for the purpose of establishing audit procedures that are appropriate under the circumstances, but not for the pur-pose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Institute’s internal controls. An audit also includes asses-sing whether the accounting policies applied by management are appropri-ate, assessing whether the accounting estimates made by management are reasonable and assessing the
over-all presentation of the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company’s financial statements.
In our opinion, the audit evidence obtained provides a reasonable and suitable basis for our opinion.
Our audit has not resulted in any qualification.
opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company’s financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s and the Danish Technological Institute’s as-sets, liabilities and financial position at 31 December 2010 and of the results of the Group’s and the Danish Techno-logical Institute’s operations and cash flows for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 in conformity with the Danish Financial Statements Act.

Pursuant to the Danish Financial State-ments Act, we have read the manage-ment’s review.

On this basis, it is our opinion that the information given in the management’s review is consi-stent with the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company’s financial statements.
