Other than the contracts mentioned above and the loan agreement described in section 7.6.3 the<br />

5.6.5 Order book<br />

Given the nature of the Company’s products and the market in which the Company operates, many<br />

deliveries will take place over a period of time. At the end of 2006 the Company had a strong order<br />

book, totalling about NOK 122 million. This is a historical high level, even though the order book<br />

typically increases towards the end of a year. In addition to seasonal variations, the high order book is<br />

to some extent a result of delays in deliveries combined with a substantial amount of orders related to<br />

the Company’s power and commercial products. Also, Lerc has an all time high order reserve, and<br />

there is at present a high level of activity within the shipbuilding industry, which gives the Company a<br />

stable amount of incoming orders for regular antennas.<br />

Going forward the Company is in a strong position to realize interesting market opportunities. The<br />

prospects for the power supply products overlap the prospects for the antenna and antenna systems.<br />
