All the business combinations accomplished during the financial year have been presented in the note 23 to the financial statements. Key figures The financial statements December 31, cover the second financial period for the current Nebula group. In the financial period the net sales of the group represented operations of a period of approximately nine months and for the parent company, a period of four months. Because of this, the group figures are not comparable with the group figures of the 12 month financial period. In the return on equity, the numerator has been adjusted to reflect a volume of 12 months.

Assessment of risks and uncertainties The Company has reviewed its business and operational risks in accordance with the Companies Act. A disaster recovery plan has been prepared for the service environment. Technical risks have been mitigated by investing substantially in technical security and back up systems related to among other things automatic extinguisher and UPS equipment and 24/7 access control and alarm systems. To mitigate for connection interruptions, the Company has secured network connections with parallel connections and POPs abroad. In addition, operations are secured with extensive risk insurances. Customer risks, on the other hand, are reduced by the very large number of customer, when a proportion of a single customer does not pose a significant risk to the whole operation. Previous experience also shows that the operations of the Company are not particularly cyclical. This obviously is due to the fact that the services offered by the Company are essential to the customers own operations. The financial position of the group is affected by the loans raised in at business combination. Interest expenses and depreciation on intangible assets recognised at business combination reduce profit. Also the comparable depreciation on business combinations reduce profit. However, repayment and other terms of loans have been set in such a way that servicing the debts does not cause liquidity problems.
