Independent Auditor's Report
To the shareholders of Samsung Denmark Research Center ApS
Opinion
In our opinion, the Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Compa-
ny at 31 December 2021 and of the results of the Company's operations and cash flows for the financial
year
1 January - 31 December 2021 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as
adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Danish Financial Statements Act.
We have audited the Financial Statements of Samsung Denmark Research Center ApS for the financial
year
1 January - 31 December 2021, which comprise statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet,
statement af cash flows, statement of changes in equity, and notes, including a summary of significant ac-
counting policies ("Financial Statements").
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and the ad
di
tio-
nal requirements applicable in Denmark. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of
our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional re-
quirements applicable in Denmark, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the IESBA. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffici-
ent and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Statement on Management's Review
Management is responsible for Management's Review.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management's Review, and we do not express
any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management's
Review and, in doing so, consider whether Management's Review is materially inconsistent with the
Financial Statements or our knowledge obtained during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially
misstated.
Moreover, it is our responsibility to consider whether Management's Review provides the information
required under the Danish Financial Statements Act.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management's Review is in accordance with the
Financial Statements and has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Danish Financial
Statements Acts. We did not identify any material misstatement in Management's Review.

Independent Auditor's Report
Management's Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further require-
ments in the Danish Financial Statements Act, and for such internal control as Management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whe-
ther due to fraud or error.
In preparing the Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the go-
ing concern basis of accounting in preparing the Financial Statements, unless Management either intends
to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Financial Statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that inclu-
des our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in Denmark will always
detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are consi-
dered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Financial Statements.
As part of an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs and the additional requirements applicable in
Denmark, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.
We also:
· Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement in the Financial Statements, whether due to
fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit
evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not de-
tecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal control.
· Obtain an understanding of the internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit pro-
cedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opini-
on on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
· Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

Independent Auditor's Report
· Conclude on the appropriateness of Management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
in preparing the financial statements and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a materi-
al uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Compa-
ny’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we
are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the Financial
Statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are ba-
sed on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events
or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
· Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and contents of the Financial Statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner that gives a true and fair view.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.

The principal activities of the company
The principal activity consists of activities related to development and commercial exploitation of in
te-
grated circuits within the wireless communication business area and other similar business areas.
Development in activities and financial matters

Translation of foreign currency
Management has determined the functional currency to be Danish Kroner (DKK). The functional
currency is the currency used in the primary financial environments in which the Company conducts its
business. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are considered transactions in
foreign currency.
Transactions in foreign currency are translated by using the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the
transaction. Differences in the rate of exchange arising between the rate at the date of transaction and the
rate at the date of payment are recognised in the profit and loss account as an item under net financials.
Receivables, payables, and other monetary items in foreign currency are translated by using the closing
rate. The difference between the closing rate and the rate at the time of the occurrence or the recognition
in the latest annual accounts of the amount owed or the liability is recognised in the profit and loss
account under financial income and expenses.
Non-current assets acquired in foreign currency are measured at the exchange rate on the transaction
date.
Income statement
Revenue
The Company's revenue includes the sale of services, including research and development.
Revenue is recognized when control over the individual identifiable delivery obligation passes to the cu-
stomer.
The net turnover is recognised exclusive of VAT and taxes and with the deduction of any dis

Accounting policies
The balance sheet
Goodwill
At the first recognition, acquired goodwill is measured in the balance sheet at cost. Subsequently,
goodwill is measured at cost with deduction of accumulated impairment. Goodwill is not amortized.
Goodwill impairment test
Goodwill is tested annually for impairments, the first time before the end of the acquisition year.
The carrying amount of goodwill is tested for impairment together with the other non-current assets in
the cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated and written down to the recoverable amount over
the income statement if the carrying amount is higher. The recoverable amount is generally computed as
the present value of the expected future net cash flows from the activity (cash-generating unit) to which
the goodwill is allocated.
An impairment is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. The im-
pairment is recognised in the income statement in a separate line. Impairment of goodwill is not reversed.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost with deduction of accrued depreciation and write-
down.
The basis of depreciation is cost with deduction of any expected residual value after the end of the useful
life of the asset. The amortisation period and the residual value are determined at the acquisition date and
reassessed annually. If the residual value exceeds the book value, the amortisation discontinues.
If the amortisation period or the residual value is changed, the effect on amortisation will in the future be
recognised as a change in the accounting estimates.
The cost comprises the acquisition cost and costs directly attached to the acquisition until the time when
the asset is ready for use.
The cost of a total asset is divided into separate components. These components are depreciated
separately to reflect the differences in the useful lives of each individual components.
Depreciation takes place on a straight line basis and based on an evaluation of the expected useful life
and the residual value of the individual assets:
Useful life Residual value
Property, plant and equipment 3-5 years 0 %

·

Accounting policies
Subsequent costs, e.g. in connection with replacement of components of tangible assets, are recognised in
the carrying amount of the asset if it is probable that the cost will result in future economic benefits for
the company. The replaced components are removed from the balance sheet and recognised as an expen-
se in the income statement. All costs incurred for ordinary repairs and maintenance are recognised in the
income statement as incurred.
Profit or loss deriving from the sales of tangible fixed assets is measured as the difference between the
sales price reduced by the selling costs and the book value at the time of the sale. Profit or losses are
recognised in the profit and loss account as other operating income or other operating expenses.
Property, plant and equipment impairment test
The book values of property, plant and equipment is subject to annual impairment test in order to disclo-
se any indications of impairment beyond those expressed by amortisation and depreciation respectively.
If indications of impairment are disclosed, impairment tests are carried out for each individual asset or
group of assets respectively. Writedown takes place to the recoverable amount, if this value is lower than
the book value.
The recoverable value is equal to the value of the net selling price or the value in use, whichever is high-
er. The value in use is determined as the present value of the expected net cash flow deriving from the
use of the asset or the group of assets.
Previously recognised writedown is reversed when the condition for the writedown no longer exist.
Leases
A lease asset and a lease liability are recognized in the balance sheet when, under a lease agree
ment for a
specific identifiable asset, the lease asset is made available during the lease period, and when the
Company obtains a right to virtually all the economic benefits from the use of the identified asset and
right to decide on the use of the identified asset.
Lease liabilities are initially recognized at the present value of the future lease pay
ments dis
count
ed by
an alternative lender. The following lease payments are recognized as part of the lease liability:
· Fixed payments
· Variable payments that change in line with changes in an index or interest rate, based on the
applicable index or interest rate
· Payments owed under a residual value guarantee
· The exercise price of purchase options which management expects with high probability to exer-
cise.
· Payments subject to an extension option which the Company is likely to expect to exercise
· Penalties related to a termination option, unless the Company does not expect to exercise the
option

Accounting policies
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The lease lia
bi
li
ty is
recalculated when there are changes in the underlying contractual cash flows from changes in an index or
interest rate, if there are changes in the Company's estimate of a residual value guarantee or if the
Company changes its assessment of whether a purchase, extension or termination option with reasonable
probability is expected to be exercised.
On initial recognition, the lease asset is measured at cost, which corresponds to the value of the lease
liability adjusted for prepaid lease payments plus direct related costs and estimated costs for demolition,
redevelopment or similar and less any rebates or other types of incentive payments received from the
lessor.
Subsequently, the asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and write-downs. The lease as-
set is depreciated over the shortest of the lease term and the useful life of the lease asset. Depreciation is
recognized on a straight line basis in the income statement.
The lease asset is adjusted for changes in the lease liability as a result of changes in the terms of the lease
or changes in the cash flow of the contract in line with changes in an index or interest rate.
The Company presents the lease asset and the lease liability separately in the balance sheet.
The Company has chosen not to include low-value lease assets and short-term lease agreements in the
balance sheet. Instead, lease payments relating to these leases are recognized on a straight line basis in
the income statement.
Receivables
Receivables are measured at amortised cost. In order to meet expected losses, writedown takes place at
the net realisable value.
Deferred expenses
Deferred expenses recognised under assets comprise incurred costs concerning the next financial year.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and in hand.
Corporate tax and deferred tax
Current tax receivable and tax liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet at the amount cal
cu
la
ted on
the basis of the expected taxable income for the year adjusted for tax on previous years' taxable income
and prepaid taxes. Tax receivable and tax liabilities are set off to the extent that legal right of set-off
exists and if the items are expected to be settled net or simultaneously.
According to the rules of joint taxation, Samsung Denmark Research Center ApS is unlimited, jointly
and severally liable towards the Danish tax authorities for the total corporation tax, including
withholding tax on interest, royalties and dividends, arising within the jointly taxed group of companies.

Accounting policies
Deferred tax is measured on the basis of all temporary differences in assets and liabilities with a ba
lan
ce
sheet focus.
Deferred tax is measured based on the tax rules and tax rates applying under the legislation on the ba
lan-
ce sheet date and prevailing when the deferred tax is expected to be released as current tax.
Deferred tax assets are assessed annually and are recognised only to the extent that their utilisation is
probable.
Liabilities
Other liabilities concerning trade payables, group enterprises and other liabilities are measured at amor-
tised cost.

Notes
All amounts in DKK.
1. Accounting estimates and judgements
As part of its application of the Company's accounting policies, management makes judgements, in
addition to estimates, which may materially affect the amounts recognised in the annual report.
Determining the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities requires judgements, estimates and
assumptions relating to future events.
The estimates and assumptions about future events are based on historical experience and other
factors which by management are considered reliable but by nature are associated with uncertainty.
The assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate, and unexpected events or circumstances may
arise. Furthermore, the company is subject to risks and uncertainties which may lead to actual re-
sults differing from these estimates.
It may be necessary to change previous estimates due to changes in the conditions on which they
were based or due to new information or subsequent events.
Estimates which are especially important for the financial reporting are made by applying the va-
luation of the impairment test for goodwill among others.
Impairment test for goodwill
At the annual impairment test for goodwill, or if there is an indication of impairment, an estimate
is made of whether the parts of the business to which the asset is allocated (cash generating units)
will be capable of generating sufficient positive net cash flows in the future to support the value of
goodwill and other net assets in the relevant part of the business.
Due to the nature of the business, an estimate must be made of expected cash flows for many years
in the future, which naturally leads to some uncertainty. It is not considered necessary to account
for impairment of goodwill at present.
The impairment test and the related sensitivities are described in more detail in note 8.

Remuneration of key management personnel
In accordance with IAS 24, the Directors' have given consideration to who has authority and re-
sponsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the entity. The Directors' have
determined that since strategic and operational decisions are ultimately made by personnel located
in the parent entity of the Company and that major decisions are always subject to parent company
approval, there are no key management personnel who are remunerated by the Company. Accor-
dingly, no amounts have been disclosed in respect of this since no recharge for these services is re-
ceived or receivable by the Company.
Directors' emoluments were as follows:
Key management compansation

As of 31 December 2021 management tested the carrying value of goodwill for impairment. The
Company acquired the activities of Cambridge Silicon Radio Denmark, a branch of Cambridge Sili-
con Radio Limited UK on 4 October 2012. In doing so, it recognised goodwill of DKK 65.779k,
which corresponds to the carrying amount as at 31 December 2021.
The recoverable amount is based on the value, which is determined using expected net cash flows
based on budgets for the years 2022-26 approved by the management and a discount rate after tax
of 9,00%.
The weighted average growth rate used for exploration of future net cash flows for the years after
2026 has been estimated at 3,2%.
The key assumptions are based on experiences from previous years, external sources and in
struc-
tions/calculations from the parent company.
Against this background, the carrying amount of goodwill is determined to be less than the re
cover-
able amount. Thus, no impairment is required.

Joint taxation
Samsung Electronics branch of Samsung Electronics Nordic AB, Sweden, company reg. no 27 11
02 74 being the administration company, the Company is subject to the Danish scheme of joint ta-
xation and unlimited jointly and severally liable with the other jointly taxed companies for the to-
tal corporation tax.
The Company is unlimited jointly and severally liable with the other jointly taxed companies for
any obligation to withhold tax on interest, royalties and dividends.
The jointly taxed enterprises' total, known net liability to the Danish tax authorities appears from
the annual accounts of the administration company.
18. Financial risks
As a result of its operations, investments and financing, the Company is exposed to financial risks,
including market risks (currency risks) and credit risks.
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, where the
carrying value as at 31 December 2021 amounts to DKK 66.330k. The carrying value is equivalent
to the fair value.
Market risk
The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. As most of the Company's transactions are in DKK the risk of changes in foreign
currency exchange rates is assessed low. Therefore no further action has been taken.
Credit risks
The Company is subject to the group's banking arrangements etc. and agreements on bank deposits
are only entered into with counterparties when management considers that there is no credit risk.
Based upon this, all counterparties are expected to be able to fulfill their obligations.
The maximum credit risk exposure relating to financial assets is the carrying amount of the assets
in the balance sheet.

18. Financial risks (continued)
Financial assets are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, such as a deb-
tor failing to engage in a repayment plan with the Company. The Company categorises a loan or
receivable for write off when a debtor fails to make contractual payments more than 180 days past
due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognised in profit or loss.
At the year end, there were no financial assets deemed impaired. No financial assets were past due.
Liquidity risk management
Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the board of directors. The Com-
pany manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, by continuously monitoring forecast
and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
The table below analyses the Company's financial assets and liabilities into relevant maturity based
on the remaining period at the balance sheet to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclo-
sed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows. Balances due after 12 months equal
their carrying balances as the impact of discounting is not significant.
