4 Message from the President The upturn in the aviation industry is having an effect on CTT. Order intake has soared and we have further consolidated our positions.thus can the financial year be summarized.the most important success factor is the Zonal Drying System that is now establishing itself as a standard amongst an ever-increasing number of aircraft manufacturers. At the same time, humidification has been taken up on the agenda for real. Air Mauritius showed the way with the first installed Cair. For CTT s part, this means that an intensive development phase, in which personnel with great enthusiasm have borne a heavy burden, is now nearing its fulfilment. The aviation industry continues to develop positively. Growth measured in terms of RPK (Revenue Passenger Kilometres) witnessed strong growth during 2005 with an increase of 7.1% has also begun well. Both Boeing and Airbus have received many orders for aircraft; 493 and 117 aircraft respectively during the first six months. Particularly encouraging for CTT is the fact that Boeing has been very successful in selling the new B787 Dreamliner. By the end of September, 2006, Boeing had recorded 420 orders from 32 different airlines. RISE IN ORDERS FOR THE ZONAL DRYING SYSTEM A substantial rise in orders for the Zonal Drying System has also had a positive effect for CTT. A strong demand from the retrofit market during the fiscal year was particularly encouraging, and in total we received orders for 42 aircraft from six different airlines with a total value of SEK 20 million.the corresponding order intake figure for the current financial period to date is SEK 17 million.whilst the rising order level can be explained in part by the continued high fuel prices, the other major contributory factor is the market recognition of CTT that prompted Boeing to introduce the Zonal Drying System as a standard in the new B787. A very interesting success was the order received from the British airline, Monarch.This is the first time an airline has decided to install the Zonal Drying System in all of its aircraft regardless of type and manufacturer. In October, after the financial period had ended, the next large deal arrived when Continental ordered the Zonal Drying System for 41 of its B757 aircraft.with this contract we have recorded a breakthrough in the North American market. Continental is the fourth largest airline in the USA with a fleet totalling some 360 aircraft.we now have the opportunity to show the American airlines the advantages of our Zonal Drying System. I believe that we have excellent opportunities to further increase sales of the Zonal Drying System on the retrofit market now we, together with the Danish enterprise Satair, can strengthen our sales resources globally. Now is the ideal time for a global sales initiative. Not only do we have high fuel costs as a driving force, but also the B787 agreement serves as a stamp of approval and many airline operators are witnessing a positive economic development that provides them with an opportunity to invest in new technology. CAIR IS ALSO ON COURSE FOR A BREAKTHROUGH AMONGST PASSENGER AIRLINE OPERATORS In June, 2006, the first Cair system was installed in an Air Mauritius A340. The system was certified by the aviation authority late in August, A second A340 will be equipped with a Cair system in October, Air Mauritius and CTT have agreed to evaluate the system in this aircraft for a six-month period before any further systems are installed. Airbus are also participating in the evaluation process and are installing equipment in the second aircraft to measure humidity in the cabin both before and after Cair has been put into operation. The order of Cair for the firstclass cabin of one of the world s leading airlines that CTT won after the financial period closed in August can prove itself to be the system s breakthrough into the passenger aircraft market. Our Cair system enjoys a very good reputation on large VIP aircraft where it has won considerable attention and approval amongst the passengers. It is therefore natural that airlines become more interested in introducing humidifiers in the passenger cabins of long-range aircraft. We are very pleased that one of the aircraft manufacturers has endeavoured to meet the airline s wishes and together with CTT and our partner develop Cair for this specific aircraft type. A successful launch of the system with the airline will pave the way for further sales to other operators of this aircraft type. In the longerterm it is likely that aircraft manufacturers will be compelled, as a result of competition, to offer humidification 4

5 Cair is on course for a breakthrough amongst aircraft manufacturers of first and business-class in all longrange aircraft types.the long-range aircraft that are of most interest are B , B777, A330/340 (there are around 2,000 of these aircraft currently in service) and the new aircraft types A380, B787 and A350. CTT is in an excellent position to win a very large share of this market. CTT IS EVOLVING TO BECOME A RELIABLE OEM SUPPLIER During the financial year , CTT made its definitive breakthrough as an OEM supplier. Series production deliveries of humidifiers for the Airbus A380 began and CTT signed an agreement with Boeing relating to development of both the Zonal Drying System and humidifier for the new B787 aircraft.we are also negotiating with both Airbus and Boeing to implement our systems in a couple of other future aircraft projects. For CTT s long-term development it is of great importance that we succeed as an OEM supplier because the share of the company s total revenues generated by this market will successively increase. For the time being, however, it would require a great deal of capital to build an organisation that could satisfy Airbus and Boeing s demands and expectations of us as a supplier. CTT s workforce has grown from 21 to 34 people since the signing of the agreement with Boeing in August. Most of the new employees were recruited to strengthen the company s Development Department. During the coming twelve months, we will be primarily recruiting for manufacturing activities.we have also made large investments in our business premises, increased the number of office places and, above all, expanded our production facilities.we expect the new extensions we have made will be sufficient to meet our needs during expansion over the next five years. WHAT CAN WE EXPECT OF THE NEAR FUTURE? Turnover will continue to grow during the financial year , primarily as a result of increased sales of the Zonal Drying System on the retrofit market. CTT s costs will also continue to rise as more personnel are recruited and development projects entered by CTT get underway. In summary, although the result will improve it will remain negative. At the beginning of 2007, we will deliver the first Zonal Drying System for Boeing s B787 prototype. Deliveries of the first humidifiers for the B787 will commence early summer, 2007, and deliveries of series production systems in the autumn of the same year.we are a little unsure how the deliveries of humidifiers for the A380 will develop in the near future. Airbus has given notice of lower delivery output during 2007 and 2008 than initially advised.this will also have an effect for CTT. It is our hope that order intake for the Zonal Drying System will continue to increase. On the one hand we expect to see further orders from airlines with existing aircraft and, on the other, expect orders for the Zonal Drying System for the B787 to start arriving in the spring, Order prospects for Cair are more difficult to forecast.we will undoubtedly receive orders for one or more VIP aircraft but it is less certain when sales to airlines will gather pace. It would be rather optimistic to believe that we will receive any substantial Cair orders from airlines next year. 5

6 It will be interesting to see how forthcoming aircraft projects from Airbus and Boeing develop in the near future. In the autumn, Airbus officially launched development of the long-range A350 aircraft that should be ready for delivery to customers in According to Airbus advertising, the aircraft will have a humidified passenger cabin. At the same time, Boeing is working with a successor to the B737 that, according to many analysts, will be built with the same technology as the B787. CTT has great prospects of being able to deliver systems for both of these aircraft types. Finally, I would like to thank CTT s personnel for working so well over the past year. During this demanding expansion and development phase many employees have made great efforts under pressing conditions. I am however convinced that these sacrifices will be rewarded and that we at CTT, together with our loyal shareholders, have many interesting and profitable years ahead of us. Nyköping September 2006 Torbjörn Johansson President 6

7 The OEM market With forecasts predicting annual growth rates averaging 5% for passenger traffic and 6% for freight traffic, the aircraft industry s long-term potential significance is vindicated by an expected requirement for 27,000 new aircraft (for 50 or more passengers) over the next twenty years! Because an aircraft type s lifetime is typically long, it isn t every year that the development of a completely new aircraft model is planned or set in motion. However, the coming years look set to be particularly eventful with the introduction of many new types in prospect.this creates opportunities for CTT, as it has long been our stated ambition that aircraft manufacturers should install systems already at their production facilities, either as a standard or option for the customer. At present, the company maintains the following OEM relations: - Boeing, that has decided to have the Zonal Drying System as a standard installation on all B787s and humidification as an option for flight deck and crew rest compartments and, for a number of years already, has offered the Zonal Drying System as an option for new production B737NGs. - Airbus, that has selected CTT s humidification technology for the A380 as an option for crew rest compartments. Boeing B787 - Dreamliner. The launch of the B787 has been the most successful in Boeing s history with firm orders for 360 aircraft.the first 50 aircraft for commercial service are expected to come off the production line in 2008.Thereafter, production output will increase successively to reach approximately ten aircraft per month by around A customer ordering a B787 today will, at the current rate of production, have to wait until 2013 before Boeing can deliver.the successful launch has however resulted in the company considering an earlier acceleration of production output than originally planned. In which case, output would rise to fourteen aircraft per month from In total, Boeing hopes to build around 3,000 aircraft over a 20-year period.the B787 is based upon ground breaking technologies whereby the fuselage, to a large extent, is made of composite materials that result in lower maintenance costs and lower weight (reducing fuel consumption by 20%). Airbus A380 - Superjumbo. The world s largest ever passenger aircraft, Airbus new aircraft type A380 carried out its maiden flight last year with deliveries to the first customer, Singapore Airlines, planned to commence at the end of next year.with the possibility of carrying up to 555 passengers and with a longer range than that of other large aircraft, the A380 creates new conditions for both airlines and passengers, alike.the lower operating costs per passenger mile will change areas of the aviation market. Another noteworthy feature is the exceptionally quiet operational noise levels of the aircraft. Airbus has 159 aircraft in an order book dominated by Asian carriers (Qantas, Singapore, Malaysian, Korean, and Thai) and airlines from the Middle East (Emirates and Qatar). In Europe, Lufthansa, Air France and Virgin have ordered the aircraft type.the A380 project is however delayed. Airbus has advised a number of airlines that the first deliveries will be delayed by months. B737NG The market for short-haul aircraft (for 100 or more passengers) is dominated by two players: Airbus with its A320 family and Boeing with the B737NG. Both aircraft types are delivered at a rate of units annually.the Zonal Drying System has been available as an option for the B737NG for a number of years. FUTURE AIRCRAFT TYPES A350 Airbus has launched the A350XWB, with the first deliveries of aircraft to customers expected to commence Despite the redesign of the aircraft during the year, orders for 100 aircraft (Qatar accounting for no less than sixty thereof) have been received. It has always been our declared ambition that Airbus should select our technology by virtue of our leading position in the humidification market.the A350WXB will be an important indicator as to whether Airbus, like Boeing, has decided to solve the condensation problem once and for all by selecting the Zonal Drying System or resolve it with another solution. New B737 With the Zonal Drying System as base equipment on the B787, the likelihood of Boeing selecting the system for future aircraft models has increased. A great deal speaks in favour of the company starting a project the aim of which would be to find a replacement for the company s faithful servant, the B737NG. Forecasts suggest the new aircraft could enter commercial service around Aircraft type P 2007P 2008P 2009P 2010P B737NG B A

8 The need for CTT s products HISTORY OF AVIATION The aviation industry, which recently celebrated the 100 year anniversary of the Wright brothers first flight, has undergone extremely expansive development. In the early days, aviators flew in open, singleseat, propeller-driven aircraft used primarily for postal and military purposes. Once it became possible to construct larger aircraft, passenger-carrying, open, propellerdriven aircraft entered the scene. The introduction of pressurized cabins represented a leap in development, enabling flights at higher altitudes where weather conditions are more favourable.this placed greater demands on the reliability of the systems in the aircraft as conditions are different at higher altitudes. For instance, the surrounding temperature is lower causing new phenomena. During the 1930s, the need for our dehumidification system first became apparent.with a warm cabin and very cold exterior, condensation began to form on the inside of the aircraft fuselage. At that time, aircraft were equipped with few electronic systems and the structure was significantly oversized which meant the negative effects of condensation were surmountable.with the introduction of the jet engine into passenger service in the 1950s, capacity could be increased and aircraft could thus fly further, and carry more passengers.this created a need for our other product, Cair which humidifies the cabin, counteracting the arid cabin environment of long-distance flights. In recent years, progress has mainly been made in the field of computers, communications, engines, and design optimization to maximize efficiency of the aircraft. This has resulted in an increasing number of computer-controlled systems in aircraft, which are more sensitive to condensation, as is all electronic equipment. Today s passengers have a greater awareness of health issues and are beginning to demand greater comfort during flights. If aircraft have been optimized to attain technical perfection over the last 100 years, the future will, in all probability, focus on people. Air travel will be developed into a method of travel that combines maximum comfort with extremely high safety standards. On this basis, we envisage a continuing future need for our products. CONDENSATION IN AIRCRAFT Moisture enters the fuselage of an aircraft during ground stops. It is also emitted by every person on board. In flight, the aircraft is exposed to extremely low temperatures. Modern jet aircraft have a cruising altitude of over 10,000 metres where temperatures lie between -50 and -60 C.This cools the fuselage to between -30 and -40 C, resulting in large amounts of water condensing on the inner skin of the fuselage. Water collects in the insulation and runs down into the belly of the aircraft. 8

9 OPERATIONAL EFFECTS OF CONDENSATION Increased aircraft weight. Depending on the number of passengers, flight distance, aircraft type and climate zone, larger or smaller amounts of condensation are created. Condensation can increase the weight of the aircraft by over half a ton. This unwanted increase means higher fuel consumption with negative effects for both transport economy and the environment. Disturbances in electrical systems. Many of the electrical cables in an aircraft are located in the space between the inner and outer skins, where condensation accumulates. This can trigger warning signals and short circuits in sensitive equipment, resulting in delays and component replacement. Inspections and repairs are expensive and time-consuming.this type of problem has come to the fore following a number of incidents during recent years. MAINTENANCE RELATED EFFECTS OF CONDENSATION Corrosion mainly affects the areas around aircraft windows and doors, antenna or wing mountings, and belly structures. Floor beams and electrical contacts are also exposed areas. Corrosion entails extra expense for the airlines who often have to replace structural parts at D-checks. Older aircraft in particular are affected by increased maintenance costs due to corrosion. Damaged insulation. Water gets trapped in the insulation, making the material heavier in addition to reducing its functional capacity. During maintenance, parts of the insulation may have to be dried or replaced.this entails extra costs for the airlines, yet only provides a temporary solution to the problem once the aircraft re-enters service the insulation will get wet again. Mould flourishes in wet insulation which can be a problem for passengers and maintenance staff. EFFECTS OF CONDENSATION ON COMFORT Rain in the plane. Air passengers are exposed to dripping water during take-off and landing.this is caused by condensation gathering on ceiling panels. Most noticeably during take-off, water runs along fissures in ceiling panels and drips on passengers: Rain in the plane. Reduced insulation effect. Water trapped in the insulation reduces its insulation effect. Passengers feel cold draughts at windows and doors. Acoustic insulation is also adversely affected, resulting in higher noise levels in the cabin from engines and wind against the aircraft. Wet insulation Mould.The one thing that benefits from wet isolation Zonal Drying System Provided by F E - Increased weight / fuel consumption Water and ice in insulation - Malfunction in electrical systems - Rain in the plane - Corrosion / contamination - Ruined insulation blankets - Fungus and bacteria - Deteriorated insulation effect - Aircraft cabin low humidity / dry air - Increased maintenance costs 9

10 ZONAL DRYING AND ITS BENEFITS The areas listed are those most open to improvement with our Zonal Drying System. Our calculations, based on experience from actual installations and reports from operators of our systems, indicate that the payback period for a Zonal Drying System in an aircraft is two to four years, depending on the type of air travel.the payback period is shortest for operators with a high degree of use and high passenger figures.this should be compared to an aircraft s economic and technical lifetime of 20 to 25 years. It is also important to note that some of the benefits of the Zonal Drying System cannot be calculated in monetary terms, but are linked to passenger comfort and operational reliability.these advantages include increased operational reliability, no damp seats or carpets, no brown windows with condensation, no cold draughts due to retained insulation effect, etc. However, we believe that the most important advantage is the fact that it is simply not consistent with today s flight safety requirements to have several hundred kilos of uncontrolled water flowing around in a plane, close to electrical cables, components and computers. WHY IS AIR SO DRY IN THE CABIN? Air conditioning systems in modern aircraft are designed to take in approximately 50 percent of their air quota via the engines in other words, atmospheric air from around 10,000 metres altitude.the remaining 50 percent consists of recirculated cabin air. Atmospheric air is extremely dry which means cabin air is also dry. Normally, the relative humidity (RH) in homes and offices is between 50 and 60 percent. In an aircraft, the level lies between 5 and 15 percent. In extreme cases, humidity levels as low as two percent have been recorded. HOW DOES DRY AIR EFFECT PEOPLE? Passenger comfort is mainly affected on long-haul flights of 5 to 18 hours. The human body is not designed to function in a dry environment (lower than 20% RH) and is adversely affected when subjected to it. In the dry conditions on board, many passengers experience irritated mucous membranes in the nose and throat, contact lenses have to be removed, there is an increased likelihood of colds, and a greater risk of bacteria spreading. Problems also occur with dry skin, allergies, etc.this especially applies to cabin crews, who are continuously exposed to low humidity levels.the problem is most apparent in business class and first class where there are fewer passengers and less moisture is generated. Conditions in tourist class are somewhat better as passenger density is higher and more moisture is generated. However, even in tourist class, moisture needs to be added to attain an acceptable humidity level. WHY INCREASED CABIN HUMIDITY? Average Cabin Humidity without CAIR Relative Humidity % 30,0 25,0 20,0 15,0 10,0 5,0 0,0 First / Business Economy Without CAIR - Condensation in Crown Area Crown Area Low humidity in business area ~5% Crown Area Low humidity in economy area ~10% 10 THE DRY FACTS Most passengers on long-haul flights experience Cold symptoms Soar throat, dry skin Dryness in mouth, nose and eyes Jet-lag / Increased fatigue General uncomfortable feeling Medical experts and specifications for in-house air quality (ASHRAE), recommends 20% relative humidity as the lowest acceptable level.

11 DEMANDS ON ENHANCED COMFORT Passengers today are more knowledgeable and aware of their health, and the effects of flying.what s more, people are much more conscious of how they spend their work and leisure time, making demands on the possibilities to work and rest during flights.the airlines response is demonstrated in the fact that a majority of airlines have redesigned, or are in the proceeds of redesigning, their cabins for improved comfort. Airlines spend millions of dollars installing better seating, video on demand, live TV, internet connections, etc, to meet passenger demands. Some airlines have even installed fake starry skies to simulate night skies and thus promote sleep. Air quality onboard is a matter of much discussion; many passengers consider it to be poor, with fatigue, faintness, etc, as the result.the fact that people today fly longer, up to 18 hours, means that the effects of poor air quality are more pronounced. In all likelihood, we will see requirements for improved air quality onboard, with the emphasis on the level of humidity. CAIR AND ITS BENEFITS Cair is developed to meet passenger requirements on health and increased well-being during flights. In-flight studies have shown that humidifying the cabin reduces tiredness and alleviates dehydration of the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. As the condition of the mucous membranes is essential for the body s immune system, there is thus a reduced risk of viral infection during flights. Our goal with Cair is to improve the passenger s sense of well-being during flights. Cair raises the humidity level in the cabin, which has a positive effect on all the passenger s senses. Passengers will feel better, sleep better, food and drink will taste better. Cair means airlines around the world get a unique opportunity to gain competitive advantages through improved comfort on long-haul flights a strategic marketing tool in parity with in-flight entertainment. OUR MISSION To enhance passengers total inflight experience by contributing to their health and well-being. Our objective is to have passengers arrive feeling better than when they departed. OUR PRODUCT Cair will provide humidified fresh air in the aircraft cabin. This will improve the passengers all sensory experiences.you will feel better.you will sleep better. Your food will taste better. After a long-haul flight you will land in better shape. Average Cabin Humidity without CAIR Average Cabin Humidity with CAIR Relative Humidity % 30,0 25,0 20,0 15,0 10,0 5,0 0,0 First / Business Economy With CAIR - Dry Crown Area Crown Area Increased humidity in business area ~25% Crown Area Increased humidity in economy area ~15% FIVE GOOD REASONS Increased cabin humidity will reduce many of the discomforts and lower the risk of getting airborne infections Passengers and crew will feel better Passengers will experience a more relaxed and comfortable flight The sleep will be better The food and wine will taste better The risk for airborne infections are lowered A very important factor for well-being and comfort. Limited modification work necessary. Cost comparable to 1-2 business class seats. 11

12 Now it s proven! Scientific study confirms that the human condition benefits from the effects of an on board humidifier system. 12 Increased cabin humidity on board results in fewer discomforts with respiratory tracts, dry eyes, and dry skin whilst at the same time, alleviating headaches and general fatigue. This has now been confirmed by an independent scientific study, published in the Scandinavian Journal of Work Environmental Health and Indoor Air The difference is significant. Air as dry as that which can be found in cabins on intercontinental flights, can otherwise only be found in the Polar regions.the human body isn t designed to live let alone work under such conditions.this is the opinion of senior lecturer Dan Norbäck, who leads the work at the Institute for Work Environment at the Uppsala University Hospital, Sweden, with whom we had a chat. Who are those, who have undertaken the study? A short account, please? My name is Dan Norbäck, I headed the investigation and I am a lecturer at the Institute for Work Environment at the Uppsala University Hospital. Gunnilla Wieslander is a head doctor here specialising in aviation medicine. Torsten Lindgren is a researcher and work hygienist with a background in safety engineering at SAS, who held a disputation on a thesis about interior environments in aircraft. You and your team are working here at the Academic Hospital in Uppsala. Why you? We are researching indoor environments and one of our lines of research relates to cabin environments. That we have a candidate for the doctorate who works at SAS simplifies matters, since it isn t usually easy to gain access to the airline fraternity. We conducted a similar study on passive smoking a few years ago, so the methodology was already in place. Can you briefly explain what the aim of the study is? We studied what takes place when one humidifies on board an aircraft. Besides air humidity, we looked at factors such as temperatures, bacteria, carbon dioxide levels, mould and other chemical substances. On the one hand, we wanted to see how dry air is experienced and, on the other, how it objectively affects the human being. What was so unique about this study? An intervention study is an experiment in reality. Usually one puts subjects in a test chamber and simulates the changes. By contrast, we change the conditions in the cabin and examine what effect they have. What was your course of action? We flew eight return trips from Stockholm-Arlanda to Chicago with intercontinental direct flights in a Boeing 767. Each flight took eight-nine hours.the cabin crew stayed in Chicago one night and flew back again.the humidifier was turned on for one leg of the trip, and off for the other.we randomly changed the order so that neither we who were conducting the study or the crew knew if it was on or off. During the flights we interviewed the cabin personnel and conducted clinical examinations. Amongst other tests, we measured tear film stability, i.e. we looked at how long one can keep the eye open without discomfort. Short intervals between blinking indicate that the eye is irritated; long intervals mean good tear film.we also carried out ultrasound in the nose with an acoustic rhinometer, which functions in a similar way to an echosounder.with a lung function meter we could also see the effects on the lower respiratory tracts. We are talking about a blind study. Neither the team of doctors that conducted the test or the crew knew when the humidifier was activated. What is the significance of this? A random selection and blind study ensured that we could eliminate the risk that people feel under scrutiny or that they let themselves be influenced by certain perceived unusual circumstances.this gives the result greater credibility. The hypothesis was that increased cabin humidity on board would result in fewer discomforts with respiratory tracts, dry eyes, and dry skin, and also alleviate headaches and general fatigue. Was this the case? Yes. On a six-grade scale, discomforts drop on average points. That is a significant change.the greatest effect was observed, as expected, on the eyes, upper respiratory tracts (i.e. nose) and skin. In other words, dry air affected those parts of the human body it came into contact with. Is there any risk that other factors, for example jet lag or the crew s general state of health, influenced the result? No, very small as we used a random and blind method.what we don t yet really know is how cabin humidity

13 Installation of humidifiers results in increased comfort in terms of weight affects people; that is something we will look at more closely.this can be done in one of two ways, partly by an increase in cabin humidity and partly by the air becoming cleaner.the air humidifier that is installed in the aircraft also cleanses the air of bacteria and particles. Who will benefit from this study? Passengers, cabin personnel and pilots. In the broader context, it will also affect the airlines because their success is dependent on satisfied personnel and satisfied passengers. What conclusion should the aviation industry draw from this? Increased cabin humidity means that crew experience improved air conditions and they feel better, and what is good for the personnel is also good for the passengers. An interesting factor in this context is that it wasn t the company health welfare section at SAS who initiated the study, but a suggestion from the people who take care of the passengers. Installation of humidifiers results in increased comfort related to system weight. That s how the airlines calculate. How long do you think it will take before air humidifiers become standard equipment on intercontinental flights? Difficult to say. It could be within five years that manufacturers offer air humidification as an option. As far as I know, both airlines and aircraft manufacturers are aware of the study. The name of the study: Changes in ocular and nasal signs and symptoms among air crew in relation to air humidification on intercontinental flights. 13

14 Humidity control the technology ZONAL DRYING SYSTEM The outer skin of the aircraft is extremely cold and when the cabin air meets this surface, condensation occurs in the form of frost that turns to ice.when the outer skin heats up during landing, the ice melts. Most of the water runs out through drainage vents when the aircraft is on the ground, but some accumulates in the insulation blankets and as pools in the fuselage. The Zonal Drying System takes air from the cabin, removes the moisture, and blows the air between the cabin and the aircraft s outer skin.there, a weak over-pressure is created by a barrier of dry air, which dries the insulation blankets. At the same time, the relative humidity of the air coming into contact with cold surfaces is reduced, eliminating condensation. The technology is based on Munters well-known moisture removal technology, which is already used in the military aviation industry with land-based equipment. CTT has refined this technology by building small, lightweight drying units, which can be installed for permanent operation in an aircraft. A Zonal Dryer consists of a fan, a heater and a rotor.the rotor is made from glass fibre and is impregnated with silica gel, a substance with excellent properties for absorbing and dissipating moisture. Two separate airstreams are led through the slowly moving rotor. One, comprising about 80 percent of the air, passes through the rotor for drying.the dry air is then led to the area to be dried. The other 20 percent of the airstream is warmed before passing through and drying the rotor.this moist air is re-circulated in the cabin, either directly or via the aircraft s air conditioning system. Rain in the plane Inside an aircraft, rain should be the last thing to worry about. Zonal Drying System Provided by Depending on the aircraft type, the Zonal Drying System is either fitted in the crown area or beneath the cabin floor.the system remains in operation as long as the aircraft has electric power, in other words during flight and most of the time on the ground.the Zonal Drying System has been adapted and installed in various aircraft types. ZONAL DRYING SYSTEM PRINCIPAL OF THE ZONAL DRYER REDUCED CONDENSATION Using the Zonal Drying System Air intake The aircraft s electrical interface Rotor absorbs moisture Dry air (80%) Moist air (20%) Thermal fuse CTT s Zonal Drying System reduces the build-up of frost and dries damp insulation in the aircraft. This is achieved by distributing an even flow of dry air in the area between the cabin and the plane s outer skin, the crown area. Heater Thermostat Thermistor Rotor motor 14

15 Moisture management the technology CAIR Cair consists of the CTT Zonal Drying System, and a system for humidifying sections of the aircraft s passenger and crew areas.the humidifying part of Cair consists of one or more humidifiers with water supply systems. The humidifier uses the technique of evaporative humidification and has been developed in cooperation with Munters.The main component in the humidifier is a pad of glass fibre with specially designed air channels moistened via a spreader system.when dry air passes the moist surface of the pad, the water evaporates and the air is humidified while it is cooled. By dimensioning the pad according to the airflow to be humidified, as well as controlling the supply of water and air temperature before the pad, the humidifier can operate without further regulation. Minerals and other contamination in the water are precipitated in the pad.the pad is replaced at regular intervals depending on the mineral content of the water.the risk of bacteria spreading via the humidifier is minimal since the water evaporates during transfer to the air and thus cannot carry any bacteria. The humidifier is installed in supply ducts to the zones to be humidified.water is taken from the aircraft s regular water system. In addition to the actual humidifier, the CAIR systems for the new Airbus and Boeing aircraft, A380 and B787, incorporate a software-based control unit, moisture sensors and advanced water valves.

16 Market overview TURBULENCE EXPECTED FOR SOME The past few years have witnessed some major changes in the aviation industry. A number of airline business concepts have been tested and evaluated during this period. Certain airlines, especially the low-cost carriers and regional airlines are healthy and growing, whereas others have been forced to reposition themselves and adapt to the changed market climate. In the process of drawing up new business plans for these airlines, it has not only been necessary to increase revenues and reduce costs, but also improve productivity levels. A typical example of an airline that has succeeded is Aer Lingus and, to a degree, also SAS, whereas others such as Varig of Brazil have gone into bankruptcy. This process of change combined with on-going high oil prices has resulted in problems for many, whilst at the same time the industry has benefited from a vibrant economy with good load factors and increased earnings per passenger. According to the ICAO, the industry lost around USD 3,300 million during 2005 (USD 5,700 million) with European and Asian carriers earning money whilst their American counterparts lost almost USD 10,000 million but IATA still expects the companies will record a loss of USD 4,200 million in 2006 before they recover and show a total profit of USD 6,000 million in However, the price of oil will continue to rise and this, combined with the war in the Middle East and prevailing terrorist threat makes the future very difficult to predict. The aircraft manufacturers witnessed a sales boom in 2005 with Boeing and Airbus recording a total of 2,140 orders, thereby breaking the previous record of 1,631 orders back in also began well with 200 orders for Airbus and 531 orders for Boeing during the first seven months. Boeing had a good start with its B787 and now has booked 360 orders, while Airbus has delivery problems with its A380 and went back to the drawing board with the planned A350 that has been redesigned as the A350XWB (XtraWide- Body), featuring a larger cabin and B787 design. Regional Jet manufacturers, Bombardier and Embraer, are those that have felt the impact of the oil price affects most. Orders during 2005 of their regional aircraft have dropped 33% compared with By contrast, Bombardier has seen an upturn in orders for its fuel-efficient propjet aircraft. Both Boeing s and Airbus order books grew by almost 50% during 2005 to 3,990 aircraft and, combined with the announced increases in production, will mean that the companies will deliver around 800 aircraft annually during the coming years. Now the airlines must consolidate themselves and save the capital necessary to be able to finance all these aircraft.this fact and worries about the price of oil, that some analysts believe could rise to a price of USD 100 per barrel - representing a 50% increase from the current level means that airlines must continue to work at cost savings, revenue increasing measures, as well as improved productivity. The status of the different aircraft types according to Flight International (June ) can be seen in the table below. FUTURE PROSPECTS Boeing, Airbus and IATA estimate a traffic increase in the region of approximately 5% annually during the period Converted into numbers, there will be a need for some 25,000-27,000 aircraft, with narrow/bodies accounting for around 16 MARKET STABILITY OR THE CALM BEFORE THE STORM Measured in RPK (Revenue Passenger Kilometres), market growth continued to develop strongly during 2005 with a passenger increase of 7.1%. Airbus and Boeing foresee continued market growth averaging 5% annually in the coming years whereas the ICAO predicts an increase of 6.5% for Once again, it is in Europe and Asia where growth will be strongest. Passenger revenues rose by almost 10% during Aircraft type Delivered* On order** Orders 2005 Orders H1, 2006 A32x A330/A A A350XWB B737NG B B B B B B CRJ EMBRAER *) December 31, 2005 **) June 30, 2006

17 75% and wide-bodies for around 25% of this figure.around 13% of the new aircraft will be regional jet aircraft. Geographically, the markets that are predicted to expand fastest are in the Asia-Pacific region, both domestic and international, with an annual growth rate of around 7-8%. In the shorter perspective, both Airbus and Boeing believe some 800 jet aircraft for 50 or more passengers will be delivered during the coming twelve months. The focus on cost savings and high oil prices benefit the revenue cost estimate for our Zonal Drying System for which airlines are showing an ever-growing interest, and this, combined with the increase of deliveries of new aircraft, means that we believe the interest for our system can be really significant in the coming years. The airlines requirement for improved productivity favours our Cair system because as competition becomes greater so too does the need for differentiation and value for money for the passengers. More airlines are competing on the same long-haul routes and they are seeking new ways to attract customers.this is where our Cair system is well positioned warranting a direct effect on the passengers comfort and well-being, thus making it easy to communicate its advantages to the customers.when our launch customer Air Mauritius commences flights with our Cair system, we expect to attract a great deal of interest from manufacturers and other airlines. MARKET POTENTIAL The market for single-aisle aircraft has the greatest potential for our Zonal Drying System and there are currently some 7,500 of these aircraft in service worldwide, primarily B737NG, A32x, and B757. As decisions to invest are difficult for airlines we view the retrofit market as remaining sluggish. However, we ought to be able to sell the Zonal Drying System to a certain sector of the market.we believe the sales potential for new production aircraft to be considerably higher, especially in view of the fact that our system has now been selected as base equipment for the Boeing 787 and is an option for the Boeing 737NG. Boeing is moreover studying a replacement for the B737 known as the B737RS and it is our opinion that we will be well positioned for our system to become a standard. Airbus is studying a replacement for the A320-series and also here, we believe that our Zonal Drying System should be of interest to have as a standard.the redesign made by Airbus for the A350XWB can also open up opportunities for our participation. Wide-bodies are the market that is best suited for Cair.The current number of wide-bodies in operation worldwide is around 2,500 aircraft and includes A330, A340, as well as B777, B767, and B Due to the fact that a retrofit of the Cair system is more complicated, we only anticipate a small market share. Based on prevailing market trends we believe the future of Cair lies in systems installed in new aircraft at the time of delivery.there are orders for around 1,200-odd aircraft of the current types available, where the A330, A340, A380, B777 and B787 have growing order books whilst the B767 and B are nearing the end of their life cycle. In addition, Airbus has received orders for 100 of its new A350XWB and Boeing nineteen orders for its B747-8 that is also suited for Cair. Here we believe in a growing market share as Cair establishes itself as a concept on the market. The VIP market is stable and we have installed systems on a number of larger business aircraft. By virtue of the good relations we maintain with the world s largest completion centres (Lufthansa Technik, Jet Aviation, AAC, etc.) we believe that we can sell 1-2 Cair systems annually for widebodies and 2-4 for narrow-bodies. We also believe that there exists a long-term potential for selling Cair system to both the business jet aircraft types Global Express and Gulfstream as well as the possible future VIP versions of the Embraer 170/190. NEW AIRCRAFT TYPES Today, there are three major new aircraft projects in progress: the Airbus A380 (first delivery autumn 2007), Boeing 787 (first estimated delivery 2008) and A350XWB (first delivery 2012). Both manufacturers are discussing humidification as a part of their aircraft equipment. Where the A380 is concerned, CTT in cooperation with AOA Gauting has been appointed as supplier of humidifiers for crew rest compartments. For the B787, our Zonal Drying System has been selected as standard equipment and we have also been appointed as suppliers of humidifiers for the crew rest compartments and flight deck. Boeing has promised an increased cabin humidity level of some 20% for the B787 that, in our opinion, can only be achieved through active humidification. Airbus says that it is developing, and plans to deliver, the A350XWB with increased cabin pressure and an increased cabin humidity level of 20%. Additionally, Airbus is promoting larger windows and increased cabin humidity levels as key passenger pleasing characteristics. Energy! The cabin crew gets a better working climate.

18 Sales and marketing strategy ZONAL DRYING SYSTEM As a result of the Boeing B787 agreement, our Zonal Drying System has received a technical necessity and functional stamp of approval that simplifies the sales process.we no longer need to convince the customer about the function or the need for our system but can concentrate the discussion on the investment calculation. This enables us to forecast a reduction in lead times. The aviation industry is a cyclic sector and just now at peak. An economic boom, high fuel costs, the Boeing agreement as well as the knowledge about the advantages of our system provide us with a unique opportunity to sell the Zonal Drying System in large numbers.to be able to do this in a short space of time requires a number of sales people who can continuously be present at many locations where they can permanently work and maintain contact with the customers. We have decided that the best way to reach a large number of customers in the short term is to engage an organisation that has sales staff present in all parts of the world. Having evaluated this alternative during the past year we signed an agency agreement with Satair A/S that has 37 sales personnel across the globe. Together with our own sales team, they should ensure that we reach out to as many customers as possible with increased sales as their objective. Although we intend to continue working directly with the aircraft manufacturers ourselves our strengthened presence will raise the awareness of the Zonal Drying System amongst an even larger number of airlines who, in turn, will raise it in discussions with the manufacturers. CAIR The attention Airbus and Boeing have generated with their A350XWB and B787 is of great benefit for us. Possibly for the first time, Airbus and Boeing are not marketing their new aircraft with words such as faster, longer, larger, stronger, etc., but with terms such as passenger pleasing, dreamliner, comfort, sound, light, cabin quality, etc. Consequently, the focus is primarily on the passengers experience with these new aircraft.this has created enormous interest amongst the media, travellers and airlines for these factors when flying. Our Cair system falls in line with this trend and we are convinced that humidification in aircraft will develop positively. As our target groups are long-haul aircraft and larger executive aircraft, marketing and promotion of Cair is focused on airline marketing departments,vip completion centres, and directly to the manufacturers (Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Gulfstream and Embraer). AIRCRAFT LEASING COMPANIES During the past twelve months we have also sold a number of Zonal Drying Systems to operators who lease their aircraft from aircraft leasing companies (such as GECAS, ILFC and RBS). In these cases, the leasing companies own the aircraft and the system and charge an extra fee to the operators for use of the system.we intend to visit the larger aircraft leasing corporations to inform them about our system and the advantages it offers both as operator and aircraft owner with the goal of convincing them to select the Zonal Drying System as a standard in their aircraft specifications. By way of our arrival on the aircraft leasing market we have automatically become involved in the second-hand market. New airlines operate the aircraft in which our system is installed, meaning that the new operator must become aware of the system s existence and updated about the benefits.the sales objective is to get these new CTT operators to buy the system for their other aircraft and attain a uniform status throughout the fleet. The most valuable (c)air you can offer. Energy! Aaah! Everyone on board feels better. $$$ Your reputation improves. Zzzzz! Passengers sleep better. Zest! Food and drink tastes better. The cabin crew gets a better working climate. Provided by 18

20 Competition DEHUMIDIFIER SYSTEMS CTT is currently the only supplier of active dehumidifier systems for the aviation industry. Hitherto, aircraft manufacturers have tackled the problem of condensation in aircraft with the following measures: Cover the cabin with fibreglass blankets Install gutters to lead away the water Fasten pieces of rubber foam to rods, etc, to catch running water Adhere felt to roof panels, etc, to catch water which should then evaporate Install bilge trays to raise insulation in the hold of the aircraft enabling condensation to run underneath The SPUD system that blows relatively dry ECS air into the crown area during flight only. These methods do not prevent condensation. In the short-term, they stop water from entering the cabin, but water will still be present in the fuselage with the problems this entails: increased weight, corrosion, mould and fungus in the insulation, and the risk of disturbance to the electrical system and components. HUMIDIFIER SYSTEMS There are currently three other suppliers of humidifier systems for aircraft: HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND Hamilton Sundstrand (USA) has developed a humidifier in which water diffuses through a membrane system. This humidifier is available as an option for Boeing 777 and 747 aircraft. LIEBHERR-AEROSPACE Liebherr-Aerospace (Germany/France) develops a humidifier that uses a heat exchanger to generate steam with the help of hot air emitted from the aircraft s engines.the system is available as an option for the Bombardier Global Express business jet. LE BOZEC FILTRATIONS & SYSTEMS Le Bozec Filtrations & Systems (France) has developed a humidifier that utilises electrical power to generate steam. Le Bozec offers the system to airlines for the humidification of the cockpit and for business jets. These products have the following in common: relatively complicated technology, unable to meet performance expectations, low reliability, and cause condensation problem 20

21 Background, organisation, environment and quality BACKGROUND CTT can trace its origins to the concept dehumidifiers in aircraft that was presented by the company s founders, Christer Nordström, Thomas White and Thomas Axelsson. Although military aircraft had long been dehumidified with ground equipment this was no solution for civil aircraft with long flight times. After a number of years of prototype production and demonstrations of the concept to, amongst others, the civil aviation authority and various airlines, CTT Systems AB was established in August, 1991, to patent and further explore the idea. In 1997, the company obtained its first global certification based upon a system for the Boeing 767. Later that year, CTT received an SBI listing (now NGM) and joined the O-list on the Stockholm Stock Exchange in Whereas we had only sold to aircraft already in service, retrofit installations, up until 2004, the recent signing of four agreements has enabled the company to realise its strategic goal of evolving as an OEM contractor. The agreements concerned are: Zonal Drying System as an option for the B737NG Humidification as an option for A380 crew rest compartments Zonal Drying System as a standard for the B787 Humidification of the crew rest compartments and cockpit as an option for the B787 FURTHER DEVELOPMENT LED TO A COMPLETE MOISTURE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM In the autumn of 1999, development of a moisture management system, aimed at increasing passenger and crew comfort, was initiated.the humidifier system is combined with the Zonal Drying System to prevent condensation during humidification of the aircraft interior.this integrated concept is now marketed under the name Cair as a registered trademark. ORGANISATION AND PERSONNEL The company organisation is designed to match the airlines structure and safeguard growth opportunities and production. CTT has recruited strategically important key individuals with core competencies within the areas of engineering, mechanics, air systems, avionics, and airworthiness administration, as well as financial matters and administration of listed companies. Several employees have long experience within the Swedish and international aviation industry. Production personnel plan and administer manufacturing that is, for the most part, subcontracted. During the last year, we have recruited a number of new staff that has led to an increase in staff turnover.there are a total of 33 employees, seven of whom are women.their ages are evenly distributed from 23 to 55 years. Sick leave and staff turnover are low. EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT The Zonal Drying System enables airlines to minimise weight, in the form of condensation, in their aircraft.this weight reduction translates into improved fuel economy that has a positive effect on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the atmosphere. CTT seeks to co-operate with partners and subcontractors who observe various environmental aspects and are committed to environmental improvement. 21

22 QUALITY CTT complies with Swedish Civil Aviation Authority rules and regulations applying to Quality Assurance in the aviation industry. Quality control is applied at every level, from design via production to testing and delivery, follow up checks and customer support. QUALITY SYSTEMS AND THIRD PARTY APPROVAL CTT currently holds certification from the Swedish Civil Aviation Authority in accordance with the common European standards issued by the EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency); Part 21 resp. Part 145. These authorizations together mean that CTT is qualified to manufacture and maintain airworthy material. CTT is also certified in accordance with ISO 9001:2000 by DNV and in more recent years has succeeded in attaining certification in accordance with the aviation sector s own quality strand, EN9100. CERTIFICATION Each aircraft sold has a Type Certificate (TC). All retrofit equipment must be approved with a Supplement Type Certificate (STC).This certification is a comprehensive, timeconsuming process as it is specific for QUALITY POLICY C T Customer Satisfaction Technical Excellence individual aircraft types. An STC means that the certifying civil aviation authority (usually in the country where the aircraft is registered) has approved both the system and its installation from an airworthiness viewpoint. The process is further complicated by process routines varying from one country to another. As the USA has traditionally led the aviation industry, American certification has the highest status. Certification by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is in reality the same as global certification. Certification in European countries has gained in status in recent years.the European authority, EASA, now acts as a coordinator for the European civil aviation authorities. CTT and Lufthansa Technik have reached an agreement regarding certification.with regard to certification, this agreement means that Lufthansa Technik, as a rule, acts as CTT s formal design organization and maintains STCs for CTT s products in return for royalties on systems sold. This agreement is very useful in the sales process as Lufthansa Technik has an excellent reputation for certification, and affords the possibility of obtaining both EASA and FAA STCs. Our quality assurance policy is based on the company s name, CTT. It shall be the absolute focus of CTT Systems to keep its customers satisfied by all employees doing the utmost to ensure that we meet or exceed customer requirements. CTT Systems products and systems shall be designed, produced and overhauled to meet or exceed specified requirements, performance and reliability. PRODUCTION CTT s production strategy is to perform final assembly, tests and maintenance of its own products. Many of the system components are standard components from the aviation industry, which are purchased from reputable suppliers. In the case of key components, long-term agreements have been signed to ensure competitive prices even for short production runs. Processing and assembly is subcontracted to carefully selected suppliers.this enables CTT to increase sales rapidly without investing heavily in machinery or personnel. INSTALLATION To date, CTT systems have been purchased for retrofit, i.e. installation in operational aircraft.the systems have therefore, been installed by airline personnel in conjunction with conversion or maintenance checks in accordance with CTT s drawings and instructions.to facilitate initial installations, CTT provides on-site instruction for airline personnel. Installation of this kind of Zonal Drying System requires between man-hours. Installation of a complete Cair system requires some man-hours.the formal responsibility for the installation rests with the airlines. The agreements with Airbus and Boeing mean that, in future, installation will also take place directly during the production process of newly built aircraft.this took place at a Boeing production plant for the first time in March Responsibility for the installation during the production process rests with aircraft the aircraft manufacturers. T Total Quality To effectively ensure CTT Systems long-term growth and survival our dominating factors to focus on are: Continuous Improvement in all areas Truly committed and motivated personnel Thriving relationship with suppliers & partner 22

Systems of this kind have been developed for the following aircraft types: A BBJ B /800 B B B747SP Risk and exposure analysis RISKS All business and share-ownership involves some measure of risk.the following list highlights some of the factors that may be significant for the future development of CTTT. Factors are not listed in order of priority and do not claim to cover all aspects. DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL For the foreseeable future, CTT will be dependent on a number of key personnel.these people have the knowledge, experience and contacts that form the basis of the company. CTT s future development is notably dependent on these key people remaining within the organisation.the departure of one or more of these persons would have a negative effect on the company s business. DEPENDENCE ON MAJOR CUSTOMERS CTT has broadened its customer base, thereby decreasing its dependence on any single customer. However, CTT still has relatively few customers, which means the actions of each customer can have major consequences for the company. For instance, a customer requesting postponement of delivery or cancellation of an order could have a negative, if albeit short-term, effect. However, the company has established long-term relationships with its key customers, all of whom have shown long-term perspective and stability in their actions. FLUCTUATIONS IN TURNOVER AND INCOME CURVES Future income is largely dependent on a small number of major orders, significantly affecting turnover and profits. It is difficult to forecast and influence when these orders are awarded which is why there may be fluctuations in the future development of turnover and results.with the signing of OEM agreements with Boeing and Airbus, the risk for loss of turnover will decrease successively. FUTURE CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS The company currently has a negative cash flow that is expected to become positive and increase in the financial year 2007/2008. Until then, the company is dependent on external capital contributions. During the course of the year, the company has secured bank financing totalling SEK 25 million.the company believes that this credit will cover the capital requirement until the business generates a positive cash flow. As the company s products are utilised in aircraft over a long period of time, it is important that it has sufficient reserves to maintain the confidence of customers and co-operation partners.therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the company may have to execute additional new stock issues in the future. PRODUCT LIABILITY Any kind of accident that can be linked to CTT s products would have major consequences for the company. The risks for accidents have been minimised by implementing extensive safety measures and stringent certification for installation. CTT has, moreover, taken out comprehensive product liability insurance providing economic protection for any party possibly injured and CTT itself. ECONOMIC CLIMATE CTT s development is dependent on factors beyond its control, such as the general economic climate, market conditions for customers, and the advent of new competing products. These factors will affect future results both positively and negatively. CURRENCY EXPOSURE Due to the international nature of its activities, the company is exposed to currency fluctuations. Company purchases are mainly made in domestic and European currencies (SEK, and EURO) while products are sold in US dollars. In the event of major delivery contracts CTT implements hedging in USD. The European aviation industry has partly begun to invoice in Euros. CTT is monitoring developments and may also commence invoicing in EUR if it is judged to be advisable. 23

SHARE LISTINGS Shares in CTT were first listed on the SBI list in 1997, but were transferred to the O-list of the Stockholm Stock Exchange in Listing means, amongst other things, that CTT follows the Stockholm Stock Exchange s rules regarding stock market information.the company thus publishes financial reports and other stock market information, and follows other rules and practices, which apply, to a listed company. The highest price for shares, SEK (recalculated for the new issue), was noted February, 7, 2006 while the lowest price, SEK was noted August, 15, On June 30, 2006, the final price was SEK (SEK 18.00). Share price development and turnover per month through August INFORMATION POLICY CTT management has established an information policy that takes into account the rules set out by the Stockholm Stock Exchange in the listing agreement. Apart from the Chairman and President, the Financial Director is also authorised to make statements on the company s reports and officially communicated business. The company distributes all its reports, including the Consolidated Sales Review and press bulletins via Waymaker.The company s website, is updated simultaneously with the same information, and also contains the annual report for download. DIVIDEND POLICY To date, CTT has not distributed any dividend.the standpoint of the Board is that the dividend should, in the long-term, be well balanced between the company s need for capital (with regard to its financial goals) and the desire for a good direct return on investment. At the present time, it is not deemed meaningful to quantify the size of dividends in relation to future profits. In view of the future expansion plans the Board forecasts for CTT, it is judged that the dividend policy will continue to be restrictive in the coming years. There is currently no non-restricted equity. According to the Articles of Association, no dividend may be distributed before the conditional shareholders contribution of SEK 4.9 million has been repaid to Volito AB.

26 Administrative report OPERATIONS IN GENERAL CTT Systems AB is a Swedish technology company operating in the aviation industry.the business idea is to solve the two moisture problems currently encountered in commercial aircraft, namely preventing the creation of condensation between the cabin and the aircraft s outer skin, reducing the health risks, and improving levels of comfort and well-being for passengers and crew by raising the cabin humidity level. CTT s products, Zonal Drying System and Cair create conditions facilitating improved profitability and flight safety as well as considerably enhanced comfort for passengers and cabin personnel. CTT supplies these systems to aircraft manufacturers for installation during production of new aircraft and to airlines for existing aircraft fleets.the company has its business premises in Nyköping and has been listed on Stockholm Stock Exchange s O-List since YEAR S OPERATIONS The financial year was CTT s most successful year to date. With the signing of the agreement with Boeing, the Zonal Drying System recorded its commercial breakthrough and sales of the system to retrofit market rose substantially. During the course of the year, we received orders for systems for 42 aircraft from six different airlines with a total value of SEK 20 million.total order intake rose to SEK 51 million during the year, SEK 22 million the previous year. This highly encouraging development can be explained in part by the continued high fuel prices.the other major contributory factor is the market recognition of CTT that prompted Boeing to introduce the Zonal Drying System as a standard in the new B787. A very interesting success was the order received from the British airline, Monarch.This is the first time an airline has decided to install the Zonal Drying System in all of its aircraft regardless of type and manufacturer. CTT s status as a supplier of dehumidification and humidification systems has been further strengthened over the past year. Our OEM relationships with Boeing and Airbus have deepened and we are conducting negotiations with a view to the implementation of our systems in a couple of other future aircraft projects. As the Zonal Drying System is now an established product, opportunities for increased market coverage are being created through agent agreements. During the summer, we entered a co-operation with Satair with the prime aim of increasing sales of the system to airlines outside Europe. Series deliveries of Cair humidifiers for Airbus A380 aircraft commenced during the year.the first of a total of eight Cair systems was installed in an Air Mauritius A340 aircraft in June, Zonal Drying systems have been sold to Boeing, Sun Express, Excel Airways, Luxair, Martinair, and Monarch during the past year. Cair has been sold to Air Mauritius and Jet Aviation. During the previous financial period, CTT has also participated at a number of aviation trade fairs around the globe including Hong Kong Aircraft Interior, Dubai Airshow, Singapore Airshow and Hamburg Aircraft Interior. The workforce has increased from 21 to 34 people during the financial period. Most of the new employees were recruited to strengthen the company s Development Department. During the coming twelve months, we will be primarily recruiting for production activities to keep pace with rising delivery volumes. We have also made large investments in our business premises, increased the number of office places and, above all, expanded our production facilities to meet the accelerating pace of deliveries in coming years. KEY EVENTS DURING THE FINANCIAL PERIOD In July, 2005, the Luxembourg airline Luxair, ordered the Zonal Drying Systems for installation in three of its B aircraft.two systems were installed during the autumn, 2005, and the third system will be delivered during In August, 2005, Boeing appointed CTT as a supplier for the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.The agreement embraces development and production of a) the Zonal Drying System that will be standard equipment on all newly-built aircraft and b) humidifiers which will be offered as an option to increase humidity on flight decks and on crew rest compartments. Boeing hopes to build around 3,000 of this aircraft type over a 20- year period commencing in It is estimated that the total income earning potential, based on the aircraft s total lifetime (around 20 years production and an operational service life averaging 20 years for each aircraft) amounts to a minimum of SEK 1.9 billion, inclusive of after sales. As reported earlier, development work for the B787 project is financed and has been accounted for from the first quarter of the financial period , and will continue to be accounted for until the end of the financial period Liquidities for the development work were paid to CTT at the end of Deliveries of the system will commence early In September, 2005, Martinair of Holland ordered a Zonal Drying System for a Boeing aircraft. The system was delivered during the winter 2005/2006. In October, 2005, CTT received an order for Zonal Drying Systems to be installed in two new B aircraft, which will be operated by Excel Airways in the UK.The company that owns the aircraft and ordered the systems is a large aircraft leasing 26

27 corporation. Both the leasing company and Excel Airways are new customers for CTT. Boeing installed the systems in the autumn, In the same month, employees subscribed to 28,929 new shares in the company in accordance with the incentive programme in the form of subscription options as agreed at the Annual General Meeting 2002.When the programme has ended, company employees will thereby, via the subscription of new shares (at a subscription rate of SEK 43.20) have injected around SEK 1.25 million into the company.the company s share capital has increased by SEK 28,929. In November, 2005, Martinair ordered Zonal Drying Systems for three of its A320 aircraft.the systems were delivered spring, In the same month, Air Mauritius increased its order for Cair from five to eight aircraft. CTT signed a Letter of Intent with Air Mauritius in April 2004 regarding the installation of the Cair system in five A aircraft.the partners have now converted the Letter of Intent to a leasing agreement. Air Mauritius will be the first airline in the world that offers its passengers improved comfort through increased humidity in the first-class and business class cabins.the first system was installed during the summer 2006 with the others expected to continue until the end of In January, 2006, CTT received an order for the Zonal Drying System from yet another new customer, Sun Express of Turkey.The order concerns systems for two B aircraft that were delivered in the spring, In the same month in Switzerland, CTT received an order for a Cair system for an A320 VIP aircraft from Jet Aviation AG. Delivery was made during the summer In February, 2006, CTT received its largest order from a single airline to date for the Zonal Drying System.The order, with a list price value of around SEK 16 million, was from Monarch Airlines from the UK.The order concerns systems for its whole fleet of 27 aircraft. (6 x A320, 7 x A321, 7 x B757, 4 x A300, 2 x A330 and 1 x B767) Deliveries have commenced and will be completed by the end of At the beginning of May, 2006, a Zonal Dryer in service on an aircraft caused over heating in an air pipe leading out of the apparatus.the Zonal Dryer is an older type that is used in MD11, B747 and B767 aircraft. CTT have found a solution to the problem and, pending its introduction, we recommend operators to keep the Zonal Drying System turned off. CTT believe that the Zonal Dryer in CRJ aircraft can also cause an over heating and therefore recommend operators to keep the Zonal Drying system turned off until further notice. Lufthansa Technik, that is responsible for certification of most CTT systems, and the civil aviation authorities affected share CTT s opinion and have requested the affected airlines to follow CTT s recommendations. CTT will commence with modifications to the apparatuses involved during the autumn. It should also be pointed out that this problem does not affect the Zonal Drying System that is a newer variant and installed in the aircraft types B737, B757 and A320/321. In June, 2006, CTT received an order for Zonal Drying systems for three new B s, which will be operated by Excel Airways of the UK. The owners of the aircraft who have ordered the systems are two aircraft leasing corporations. Boeing will execute installation during the financial period 2006/2007. KEY EVENTS AFTER THE FINANCIAL PERIOD In July, 2006, CTT received an order from Lufthansa Technik for a Cair system for a B737 VIP aircraft.the system will be delivered autumn, In the same month, CTT won an order for a Zonal Drying System for a B of Transavia in The Netherlands.The system will be installed by Boeing during final assembly at the beginning of 2007.Transavia has now ordered Zonal Drying Systems for a total of 23 B737 aircraft. Also in the same month, CTT signed an agency agreement with Satair A/S, Denmark, regarding support and sales of CTT s Zonal Drying System. Through its global network of facilities and international sales team, Satair A/S will be able to work with airlines in co-operation with CTT s sales department. Mid-August, 2006, saw CTT, together with an industrial partner, sign an agreement with one of the world s leading aircraft manufacturers to develop the Cair system for humidification of the first-class cabin in a type of long-haul aircraft.the system will be operated by one of the world s largest airlines.the Cair system will include a humidifier and a Zonal Drying System. CTT s industrial partner will be responsible for the systems and also develop the control system technology. The systems will be installed by the aircraft manufacturers during the final assembly phase.the first of these will be delivered to the aircraft manufacturer at the beginning of 2007 with deliveries of the airline s aircraft continuing over a period of two years. For CTT, the order value for this airline is, exclusive of after market sales, around SEK 10 million. In October, the next large deal arrived when Continental ordered the Zonal Drying System for its 41-strong fleet of B757 aircraft.with this contract we have succeeded in breaking into the North American market. Continental is the fourth largest airline in the USA with a fleet totalling some 360 aircraft. We now have the opportunity to show the American airlines the advantages of our Zonal Drying System. 27

28 FINANCES The year saw net sales climb to SEK 23.7 million, almost double last year s SEK 12.8 million. Having begun the period at 7.85 USD/SEK, the Dollar went on to peak at SEK 8.25 USD/SEK in November before falling back to a low of 7.09 USD/SEK in June and ending the financial year at a rate of 7.26 USD/SEK. CTT s dependence on the USD rate is significant as virtually all invoicing is made in USD whereas costs are for the most part in SEK. By actively working with hedging we are able to reduce the risks to our business activities but the movement of rates is of great importance for the development of earnings. By and large, gross earnings margins are unchanged from the financial last year. External expenses and personnel costs have risen due to the work resulting from the preparations CTT is making in the run up to forthcoming B787 deliveries. Taken as a whole, this has meant that the result of SEK 13.4 million is more or less unchanged from the previous year s figure of SEK 13.3 million. Funds of SEK -5.9 million are an improvement on last year s SEK million, prior to financing activities. During the course of the year, the company has secured bank financing totalling SEK 25 million and the company believes that this credit will cover the capital requirement until the business generates a positive cash flow. The value of new orders received during the year rose to SEK 51 million, an improvement on last year s SEK 22 million. As of August 22, 2005, when the Consolidated Sales Review was delivered, the value of the order stock totalled SEK 58 million (SEK 22 million). INVESTMENTS During the financial period, investments of SEK 2.9 million (SEK 4.5 million) were made in tangible assets, primarily in developments for the Airbus A380 aircraft. Development work for the Airbus A380 is very comprehensive and was expected to be completed during the course of However, delays to the project will mean that the work will continue into Investments in tangible fixed assets, primarily for the build-up of increased production capacity, totalled SEK 4.0 million (SEK 0.4 million).total investments thus amount to SEK 6.9 million (SEK 4.9 million). Whilst this was expected to be completed during the course of 2005, increased demands mean that the work will probably continue into Depreciation on investments related to the Airbus A380 programme has not been initiated and therefore does not burden the result for the financial period. THE WORK OF THE BOARD The CTT Board of Directors consists of five members and a deputy chosen at the Annual General Meeting.The members comprise persons representing the major shareholders in CTT as well as independent persons.the members have long and varied experience from areas of business that are highly relevant to the company and its operations. The board elects its officer immediately after the Annual General Meeting. At this meeting, the Board s agenda is set, as well as directives for the President in order to secure the development of the company and fulfil the Board s requirements for information and supervision of daily operations. During 2005/2006 there were four Board meetings. The four regular meetings comply with an agenda that requires inclusion of the following points: the preceding protocol, marketing and current situation reports, finances, organisation, and other matters. Matters discussed by the Board during the year included strategies, business plans, entered agreements, budgets, interim reports, and the company s equity requirements. Remuneration totalling SEK 87,000 has been paid to Board members, SEK 30,000 thereof to the Chairman. NOMINATION AND WORK OF THE COMMITTEE CTT holds its Annual General Meeting on November, 16. Nomination and replacement matters are discussed beforehand by representatives for the major shareholders in consultation with the Chairman, Karl-Axel Granlund. In view of the company s size and number of shareholders, the appointment of a nomination and replacement committee has not been deemed necessary. Instead, opinions and nominations are willingly accepted and can be forwarded to the Chairman at the following address:volito AB, S. Förstadsgatan 4, SE Malmö, Sweden. Given the company s limited complexity, an audit committee has not been appointed.the external auditors have been, by virtue of their presence at Board meetings and testifying of written reports, conveying their viewpoints. ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The annual accounts have been drawn up in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and RR 32:05, accounting for legal entities. In accordance with the recommendation, juridical persons shall prepare their financial reports in accordance with the IFRS/IAS whereby a number of exemptions and additions to this principle are permitted upon adoption as listed in the recommendation. PROPOSED DISPOSITION OF ACCUMULATED DEFICIT From company s accumulated deficit 0 Deficit for the year Accumulated deficit for disposition Proposed disposition Reduction from statutory reserve Total

29 The exemptions applied are: - IFRS 1: First time adoption of IFRS: the company has elected not to present the opening balance sheet under IFRS or to apply the provisions retrospectively. - IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements: the company applies with the Annual Accounts Act presentation format. - IAS 17: Sales and Leasebacks with Repurchase Agreements: All leasing agreements are shown in accordance with the rules for operational leasing agreements. - IAS 19: Employee Benefits: the company s pension plans are shown in accordance with rules for defined contribution pension plans. In accordance with the transition regulations of RR32:05, the company has chosen not to apply certain parts of IFRS/IAS which have not had any effect on the company s equity. Consolidated financial statements have not been prepared as the holdings have not been active and are thus deemed to be insignificant in order to give a correct picture of the company in accordance with ÅRL 7:5. The financial reports were approved for issue by the Board September, 27, FUTURE DEVELOPMENT Turnover will continue to rise during the financial period This increase is primarily a result of increased sales of the Zonal Drying System on the retrofit market. CTT s costs will also increase as a result of the growing workforce and development projects the company has entered.taken together, this will mean that whilst the result improves it will continue to remain negative. The time to globalize sales is ideal. Not only do we have high fuel costs as a driving force, but we also have the B787 agreement serving as a stamp of approval and many airline operators are witnessing a positive economic development that provides them with an opportunity to invest in new technology.thanks to the agent agreement with Satair A/S and access to its global network of facilities and international sales team, we will be able to approach still more airlines, especially in areas outside Europe. The order of Cair for the firstclass cabin of one of the world s leading airlines that CTT won after the financial period closed in August could prove itself to be the system s breakthrough into the passenger aircraft market. Our Cair system enjoys a very good reputation on large VIP aircraft where it is has won considerable attention and approval amongst the passengers. It is therefore natural that airlines become more interested in introducing humidifiers in the passenger cabins of long-range aircraft.we are very pleased that one of the aircraft manufacturers has endeavoured to meet the airline s wishes and together with CTT and our partner develop Cair for this specific aircraft type. A successful launch of the system with the airline will pave the way for further sales to other operators of this aircraft type. In the longer-term it is likely that aircraft manufacturers will be compelled, as a result of competition, to offer humidification of first and business-class in other long-range aircraft types. CTT is in an excellent position to win a very large share of this market. At the beginning of 2007, we will deliver the first Zonal Drying System for Boeing s B787 prototype. Deliveries of the first humidifiers for the B787 will commence early summer, 2007, and deliveries of series production systems in the autumn of the same year.we are a little unsure how the deliveries of humidifiers for the A380 will develop in the near future. Airbus has given notice of lower delivery output during 2007 and 2008 than initially advised.this will also have an effect for CTT. RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT Product development has concentrated on the B787 order as well as production of the A380 humidifier and the development of Cair for Air Mauritius. Development work on the counterflow dehumidifier has been pursued within the framework of the European research project FACE (Friendly Aircraft Cabin Environment). 29

35 Accounting principles and notes CTT SYSTEMS AB (PUBL.) REGISTRATION NUMBER CONFORMITY TO STANDARDS AND LAWS The annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RR32:05: Accounting for Legal Entities of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council. Consolidated financial statements have not been prepared as the holdings have not been active and are thus deemed to be insignificant when providing a correct picture of the company in accordance with ÅRL 7:5. Since July 1, 2005, the company has applied the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council recommendation RR32:05, Accounting for Legal Entities. In accordance with the recommendation, legal entities whose securities are listed on the Swedish Stock Market or other authorized market places should present their financial reports in accordance with IFRS/IAS, but with the exemptions and amendments to this principle listed therein. The exemptions applied are: - IFRS 1: First time adoption of IFRS: the company has elected not to present the opening balance sheet under IFRS or to apply the provisions retrospectively. - IAS 1: Presentation of Financial Statements: the company applies with the Annual Accounts Act presentation format. - IAS 17: Sales and Leasebacks with Repurchase Agreements: All leasing agreements are shown in accordance with the rules for operational leasing agreements. - IAS 19: Employee Benefits: the company s pension plans are shown in accordance with rules for defined contribution pension plans. The transition and application of RR32:05 and certain parts of IFRS/IAS have not had any effect on the company s equity. STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE Financial assets and liabilities are valued at the historical acquisition value unless stated otherwise. Receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated at the balance sheet closing day exchange rate.when preparing financial reports in accordance with RR 32:05 and application of certain parts of IFRD/IAS, the company management must make estimations, assessments and assumptions that affect the accounting principles and the reported amounts in the balance sheets and income statements. INCOME RECOGNITION Accounting of income is made in accordance with IAS 18. Products are not installed by the company but by the customer, whereby the risk is transferred to the customer at delivery. Revenue is therefore reported upon delivery. RECEIVABLES, LIABILITIES AND READY FUNDS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies have been converted at the exchange rates applying on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities have been converted at the exchange rates applicable on date of purchase. In hedging via forward foreign exchange contracts, the relevant receivable or liability has been valued according to the forward rate.the company purchases primarily in SEK and European currencies although products are sold in USD. In major delivery contracts, CTT implements hedging in USD. STOCK Stock has been valued at the lower purchase value in accordance with the first in first out principle and actual value. Actual value is equal to sales value, less sales overheads. SEGMENT REPORTING CTT Systems AB (publ) has a single identifiable business area, which encompasses the activities of the company as a whole.the business area covers sales of products and services for humidity control in aircraft. Company sales have hitherto been to a limited number of countries on the global market of the aviation industry. All invoicing, with the exception of a minor amount in SEK, is in USD. No major differences as regards risks or possibilites exist in the various countries. No accounting per segment has thus been deemed necessary. GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CTT Systems AB (Publ.) is the parent company for wholly owned subsidiaries CTT Systems Incentive AB ( ) headquartered in Nyköping, Sweden, and CTT Systems Inc. headquartered in Delaware, USA. Neither subsidiary has been active. No purchases or sales have taken place between group companies. As the holdings are not significant in order to give a correct picture of the company s results and position, no consolidated financial accounts have been established. RECEIVABLES Receivables are reported at the amount expected to be collected after individual assessment. 35

36 FIXED ASSETS Tangible and intangible assets are depreciated systematically on the basis of an assessed economic life of five years. However, data processing equipment acquired with effect from the accounting period 2004/2005 is depreciated over three years. Expenses for improving property owned by someone else are depreciated for the remainder of the lease after said investment. WRITEDOWNS Assets are written down when the reported value exceeds the recoverable value. Recoverable value refers to the greater of an asset s net sales value and the usage value. R&D EXPENDITURE Direct expenses for the company s research and development are capitalized until it is likely that the financial advantages associated with possession will accrue to the company. Expenses for day-to-day maintenance, adaptation and modification of existing products are entered directly. Linear depreciation is applied over a period of five years. LEASING Leasing agreements are reported as legal entities according to regulations for operational leasing agreements. The purchaser and seller bear the full risk of the leasing item. It means that leasing fees and rental are entered directly and that leasing income is accrued and reported linearly for the duration of the agreement. WARRANTY COMMITMENTS Provision for warranty commitments is made at a standard rate based on the company s system sales. LOAN EXPENSES Loan expenses are charged in the period to which they relate. FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES Financial instruments accounted for in the balance sheet include, on the asset side, liquid assets, account receivables and other receivables (financial assets). On the liability side are accounts payable (trade) and loans (credit institutions). A financial asset or liability is adopted in the balance sheet once the company becomes a party to the instrument s contractual terms.trade accounts payable are adopted in the balance sheet once the invoice has been sent. A liability is adopted once the counterparty has performed and a contractual obligation to pay exists, even if the invoice has not yet been sent. A financial asset is removed from the balance sheet once the rights in the contract are fulfilled, expire or the company loses control thereof. This also applies for a part of a financial asset. A financial liability is removed from the balance sheet when the contractual obligation is fulfilled or resolved in some other manner.this also applies for a part of a financial liability. Acquisition and divestment of financial assets are accounted for on the date of transaction that is also the date the company commits itself to acquire or divest the asset. The company classifies its financial assets and liabilities as follows: - Financial assets and liabilities are valued at their real value via the income statement. Assets and liabilities in this category are successively valued to their real value with fluctuations accounted for in the income statement. Liquid assets do not belong in this category. - Account receivables and loan receivables: Assets in this category are valued at the accrued acquisition value. - Financial assets that are readily sellable: Assets in this category are valued at the real value when the write down is accounted for in the income sheet. - Other financial liabilities: Liabilities in this category are valued at the accrued acquisition value.the company s loan liabilities and accounts payable do not belong in this category. 36
