REPORT CALENDAR: Quarterly report Q1 Half year report Quarterly report Q3 25 April 2014 29 August 2014 24 October 2014 BRIEF HISTORY Business activities commenced in autumn 2007. The principal activity of the business is to own and develop companies in direct marketing and related businesses. In 2009, Zinzino Nordic AB was acquired through both a directed issue in kind to shareholders in Zinzino Nordic AB and through the rights issue Zinzino Nordic conducted in December 2009. This gave Zinzino AB control over 97% of votes and 92% of capital in Zinzino Nordic AB. By 31 December 2013, participating interest had increased to 93% of capital. Since 20 September 2010, Zinzino AB has been listed on the Aktietorget stock exchange. Share performance has been very positive, particularly over the past two years. In 2011, the Group expanded with companies in Estonia and Lithuania. In 2012, companies were also launched in Latvia and Iceland. In 2013, a company was founded in the USA, with its seat in Jupiter, Florida. Unlike previous group structures, the new subsidiaries are directly owned by Zinzino AB.

Dag Bergheim Pettersen, CEO: CUSTOMER IN FOCUS At Zinzino, we are very proud that our growth continued to increase as planned in 2013. All of Zinzino's markets increased in growth compared with the previous year. This shows that our concept and our products continue to be a hit! This gives us great confidence and belief that we will succeed in the USA, which is the world's largest direct selling market. In 2013, we opened an office in Florida and launched Zinzino USA. This serves as a source of inspiration and courage within the organisation for continued expansion of the Group. Germany, Poland and the Netherlands are next in line in 2014. We look back on 2013 as the year we really made our mark on customer focus and customer growth. We have thought through, adjusted and implemented several changes to further improve the customer satisfaction of both existing and new customers. In 2013, we developed and made significant investments in our range and our Customer Service department, which is one of the areas for which we receive a lot of positive feedback from our customers and distributors. Customer focus is the common denominator of all of our processes and is a key factor for further growth and profitability. Logistics is also a key focus area where we worked in a structured and target-oriented manner in 2013. All of our customers and distributors get their products from us by post. It is therefore vital to customer satisfaction that logistics functions optimally. In 2013, we moved our warehouse and logistics management to a global third party. This change makes us faster and better able to handle large growth and ventures into new markets. Logistics is an important factor in achieving our long-term target of 1 million customers by 2020. Zinzino Annual Report The focus on the new product line Zinzino Food, with our Balance products, has been a huge success since its launch at the end of 2012. We now have two product lines, Coffee and Food – both of which are doing well and are experiencing growth. We have seen that our distributors are increasing sales in Food, compared with Coffee. With Food, we have found new target groups and we see extremely high potential for growth in these segments. The success and the positive feedback we receive motivate the organisation and the distributors and foster a strong belief that we  will increase our customer base significantly in the coming years. Another pleasant side effect of the increased sales in Food is that our cost of goods is decreasing while profitability is increasing. Our cost of goods in 2013 was 4% less than in 2012. This itself is a small feat and bodes well for coming years. Zinzino has invested and will continue to invest heavily in coming years to achieve its growth and profitability targets. For example, we invested in trademark protection in over 80 countries. IT is another area in which we will invest relatively heavily, enabling us to reap great benefits later on. This includes both new web shops and structural system changes. Product development is also given high priority for investments in coming years. And, as mentioned previously, both new markets and continued focus on customer service and support to our talented and loyal distributors are also high on our list. 2013 was the best year in Zinzino's history in many ways, but I promise that 2014 will be even better! “The best is yet to come.” CEO Zinzino, Dag Bergheim Pettersen 2 FIGURES AT A GLANCE Zinzino entered 2013 on the heels of its strongest year ever. Growth in 2012 was an incredible 75% and total sales had increased from SEK 101.4 million to SEK 177.2 million. Zinzino's Board of Directors and management decided to continue the company's aggressive strategy. An extremely tough sales target was set in combination with a challenging operating profit target. At the same time, several major projects were slated for implementation during the year, including establishment in the USA. Now that the figures for 2013 have been added up, it is clear that total income amounted to SEK 254.5 million, representing a growth of 43%. Operating profit, which totalled SEK 10.5 (5.3) million, had almost doubled. In addition to this, the Group established a company and began selling its products in the USA, transitioned to external logistics and developed a new product line. Despite the investment costs, the gross profit margin improved through streamlining of business operations. The geographic distribution of sales in 2013 and sales growth compared with the previous year can be broken down as follows on the map: FINLAND NORWAY USA 0.2% n/a 18% 41% 30% 21% ICELAND 8%220% ESTONIA DENMARK 13% 26% 11% 67% SWEDEN 10% 2% LATVIA LITHUANIA 5%176% 5%159% Geographic distribution of sales 2013 Sales growth per market in 2013 compared with previous year FINANCIAL SUMMARY (SEK million) Zinzino Annual Report GROUP 2013 2012 Net sales 226.3 161.6 Total income 254.5 177.2 Gross profit margin 28% 24% Operating profit 10.5 5.3 Operating margin 4.11% 2.97% Profit/loss before tax 10.4 5.3 Net income 9.0 4.6 Earnings per share (SEK) 0.33 0.17 Liquid assets 10.9 16.5 Equity/assets ratio 38% 26% Equity per share 0.8 0.46 3 1 2013 IN REVIEW FIRST QUARTER The first quarter of 2013 was marked by strong growth. As the cooperation with Zinzino's provider of payment solutions in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland no longer worked well, it was terminated at the beginning of March. During the first quarter, work began for establishment on the American market and there was a transition to an external logistics provider. Moving to an external provider gives the Group greater opportunities to increase capacity at short notice, which will facilitate Zinzino's expansion. The new product line Zinzino Food was further developed during the first quarter, and a new flavour of BalanceOil was launched. The increased amount of capital tied up in inventory related to the launch of new product lines challenged the Group's short-term liquidity. Zinzino therefore took measures and improved procedures related to the forecast of purchases, which reduced inventory levels. In connection with the Group's change of banks, operating financing increased by SEK 6 million. Net sales for the first quarter amounted to SEK 49.0 (27.2) million, representing a growth of 80%. Operating profit amounted to SEK 126,000 (-772,000). Divided between the product lines, Coffee accounted for 80% and Food for 20%. During Q1, the Group registered 11,300 (3,300) new customers. The sales force increased by 2,700 (1,300) distributors.

Total second quarter growth in the Group was 68% compared with the previous year. The percentage spread of sales across the product lines in the second quarter of 2013 was 67% for Coffee and 33% for Food. Sales for Coffee were SEK 31.3 (28.7) million, representing a growth of 10% compared with the same period of the previous year. Sales for Food amounted to SEK 15.3 million. Work to start operations in the USA continued during the second quarter via the newly established company Zinzino LLC. The decision was made to establish a local sales office in the USA. This was situated in Jupiter, Florida, while the warehouse and logistics function for the American market was situated in Norfolk, Virginia. Even at this early stage, potential distributors on the market were beginning to show great interest in the company. Further development of the Zinzino Food product line continued and the range was expanded with additional products – BalanceShake and BalanceBar. Sales of the product line did extremely well, increasing from SEK 9.5 million in Q1 to SEK 15.3 million in Q2. The new product line continued to be a hit and took off faster than expected, causing the Coffee concept to gradually decrease in volume. Zinzino Coffee increased by 10% during the second quarter. One consequence of this was that the espresso machine inventory did not reduce as planned, which tied up capital and affected the Group's short-term liquidity. Zinzino continued to work intensively with inventory optimisation and normal levels were expected to be achieved in Q4. During Q2, the Group registered 8,566 (3,214) new customers. The sales force increased by 1,845 (1,509) distributors.

Operating profit totalled SEK 4.3 (2.8) million, which were the best results for a single period in Zinzino's history. During the third quarter, Zinzino transitioned completed to the new external logistics solution and thus phased out its own warehouse operations. The transition process was extensive and required significant investments in appropriate IT technology. Logistics is running smoothly and Zinzino is reaping huge benefits from the solution. The percentage spread of sales across the product lines in the third quarter was 58% for Zinzino Coffee and 42% for Zinzino Food. Sales for Coffee were SEK 33.2 million while sales for Food were SEK 24.1 million. Establishment on the US market entered its final phase during the quarter and Zinzino's management team worked closely with staff in the USA to get the final pieces to fall into place for the start of sales. The biggest challenges were in the US banking system, but after hard work Zinzino was granted permission to take payments via internet and credit card. A company sales record was set on 15th October when 2,200 new customers were registered in a single day. In total, 2,761 (3,186) new distributors and 11,159 (7,349) new customers were added during the quarter.

Divided between the product lines, Zinzino Coffee totalled SEK 37.0 million and Zinzino Food totalled SEK 36.4 million. This means that sales in general were evenly spread between the product lines. Zinzino Food launched its sales in the USA in early December with the products BalanceTest, BalanceOil and BalanceShake. By year-end, sales had already spread to 23 states, indicating great potential for continued geographic expansion and strong sales. The local office was established in Jupiter, Florida and the warehouse in Norfolk, Virginia. A total of 17,165 (12,330) new customers and 3,057 (2,507) partners were registered during the quarter. Never before has Zinzino had so many active customers as it had at the end of 2013.

Total income amounted to about SEK 75 million, representing growth of almost 40%. Profit before tax in Q1 was also better compared with the previous year, amounting to SEK 2.9 (0.0) million. OFFICIAL LAUNCH IN THE USA The market was officially opened on 8 February 2014. This was celebrated with a “Launch Celebration Day” in Atlanta, Georgia. Approximately 200 enthusiastic American and European independent sellers were on hand to celebrate the opening, along with representatives from the company. Interest in the company on the American market is huge. Management and the local Zinzino staff in Florida are working closely with the market's distributors to provide training and find the best possible tools to ensure continued stable growth. Development in the USA is going according to plan and Q1 sales amounted to about $500,000 (approx. SEK 3.3 million). INCREASED OWNERSHIP IN BIOACTIVE FOODS AS NEW DIVIDEND POLICY AND COMMUNICATION OF FUTURE FINANCIAL TARGETS Zinzino Annual Report To strengthen its influence in Bioactive Foods AS, Zinzino has increased its holding in the company from 6% to 10% through an additional investment of SEK 2.4 million. Greater ownership in Bioactive Foods AS ensures access to products, skilled researchers and the production of goods within the framework of Zinzino Food. Over the long term, Zinzino expects the ownership in Bioactive Foods AS to generate lower cost prices, which will ensure better gross profit margins and in turn a stronger bottom line. Zinzino's Board of Directors has decided from the 2013 financial year to propose that the annual general meeting approves a dividend of 30% of the net income to the shareholders annually, provided that the liquidity and financial strength of the Group permits this. The future financial targets are presented under the heading “Financial information” later in this report. 6 OUR PRODUCT LINES ZINZINO COFFEE ZINZINO FOOD At Zinzino, we love coffee.

With accessories such as cups, glasses, confectionery and milk frothers, you can create a complete café experience right in your own home. Our Balance Food product line focuses on longterm health. Zinzino BalanceOil contains a unique combination of fish and olive oil that adjusts the fatty acid balance in the body. A simple blood test for home use reveals your balance values. Zinzino Annual Report 7 ZINZINO BALANCE BALANCE PRODUCTS QUALITY + SYNERGY = RESULTS BalanceOil is more than just fish oil. Our scientists have formulated BalanceOil for results. This includes selecting the species of fish with attention to content of EPA and DHA (bio-active omega-3 essential fatty acids), then synergistically combining this with a special, high-quality high-polyphenol olive oil. Our formulation, plus use as recommended, is why BalanceOil and BalanceShake help adjust the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio to optimal levels for balance. And, our data show proven results of balance (near 3:1 ratio) within 120 days. FISH OIL Our fish oil, containing sardines, anchovies and mackerel, comes from Lysi, a leading fish oil manufacturer in Iceland. Iceland specialises in fisheries and 70% of its economy relates to fish in some way. Lysi meets all regulatory requirements for production and follows good manufacturing practice (GMP) for food products and pharmaceuticals. Our products are free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Zinzino Annual Report HIGH-QUALITY OLIVE OIL We use extra-virgin olive oil from Spain. The olive oil is cold pressed, which means that a minimal amount of heat is used when the oil is pressed out of the olives. With this method, the oil retains the nutrients normally lost during heating, solvent extraction and refining of the oil. PROOF OF BALANCE WITHIN 120 DAYS St. Olavs Hospital in Trondheim, Norway and other leading laboratories have tested 37,070 people as of 22 January 2014. The average omega 6:3 ratio for individuals not taking an omega-3 supplement was 11.9:1 in Europe and 28.1:1 in the USA. Individuals who were taking an omega-3 supplement had a balance value of 7.0:1 in Europe and 18.7:1 in the USA. Of the 5,541 people who took Zinzino BalanceOil as recommended for 120 days, the average balance ratio was reduced to near 3:1. These results show that on average use of BalanceOil reduces the omega 6:3 ratio.

Product sales in the country are through the subsidiary Zinzino AS. Since 2010, Norway has been Zinzino's biggest market sales-wise and is the market where Zinzino has the most registered distributors. In addition, Norwegians represent a large proportion of Zinzino's ownership. 2013 saw the addition of 2,133 new distributors and 11,228 new customers in Norway. These are the highest number in both segments across the entire Group. 2013 was another successful year for the Norwegian market, with stable growth of over 20%. Profitability was strong, with earnings of SEK 9.7 million before operating expenses. This made Zinzino AS the most profitable subsidiary in the Group before intra-Group costs. As on several of Zinzino's other markets, the new Zinzino Food product line is making up an increasingly greater proportion of total sales. In 2013, Zinzino Food accounted for 38% (SEK 25.4 million) of total sales.

We will continue striving to increase customer growth and naturally make sure that we keep our existing customers happy and satisfied. Zinzino Annual Report 12 SWEDEN SWEDEN Sweden is Zinzino's home market and home to its head office in Västra Frölunda, Gothenburg. Sweden is one of the three countries in which Zinzino first began its operations. Sales and growth on the Sweden market were stable in 2013. In total, 691 new distributors and 3,934 new customers were added during 2013. The market increased its sales at the start of 2014 and is showing strength as regards both sales and growth. The Swedish market has huge potential, particularly since the head office is situated in Sweden. This means that all of Zinzino's staff speak and understand Swedish and have vast knowledge of the Swedish market. Like the other mature markets, Zinzino Food has taken a large share of total sales in 2013.

In January, we started focusing on developing leadership within the team. Sweden is a relatively large and elongated country. Thus far, we have had too few leaders in relation to the size of the country. The more key people we have in the different geographic areas, the faster the growth. I have high expectations for 2014. We have been aggressive this year and will only continue to expand. Zinzino Annual Report 13 DENMARK Denmark is one of Zinzino's three original markets and has shown steady growth for several years. In 2013, growth was 26% compared with the previous year. With total income of SEK  34 million, the Danish market accounted for 13% of the Group's total sales. As in the other mature markets, Zinzino Food has had major penetration and accounted for 41% of the total sales on the market in 2013. In total, 1,111 new distributors and 5,687 new customers were added during the year. Zinzino is investing major resources to ensure it is at the forefront with product certifications from the Danish authorities. This, combined with a strong sales network, gives Zinzino a profitable subsidiary in Denmark.

It takes a lot of focus to work as an independent distributor and it takes time to reach your targets. But, it is fantastic how much can be achieved by doing a little each week over a 5-year period. The recent years have been fabulous, with many new, responsible leaders and growth of 200% in my organisation. The number of customers who want to buy our products has generally increased in Denmark. I expect the positive trend to continue in 2014. Zinzino Annual Report 14 FINLAND In 2005, Finland was the fourth market that Zinzino ventured into. The market showed modest growth at first, but things really took off in 2010. As a market, Finland has shown some of the strongest growth within the Zinzino Group during the period 2011 to 2013. In 2013, growth was 41% and the Finnish market accounted for 17% of the Group's total sales. This makes Finland Zinzino's second largest market.

Zinzino's management is working actively with sales network training and effective customer support to reduce the somewhat high percentage of product return. Life in the direct selling industry is very positive. You have less financial risk, and the work is more efficient because the company provides IT, customer service, logistics, etc. As an independent distributor, I can focus on sales and training. In 2013, my team managed to increase our customer base by 70%, representing over 11,000 customers. We have placed great emphasis on training, which has improved the quality of sales. Our target in Finland is to increase the customer base by 100% and the year has started well. We are expanding into new market areas in Finland and will cover almost all of Finland by the end of 2014. Zinzino Annual Report 15 ICELAND Zinzino began selling on the Icelandic market in 2008 (via export) and founded the subsidiary Zinzino Ehf in 2011. During its first year on the Icelandic market, Zinzino experienced modest growth and sales, with profitability that was virtually non-existent. With the launch of Zinzino Food, there was a drastic change and the Icelandic sales network saw a huge, positive response on the Icelandic market. In 2013, growth was 220% compared with the previous year and the country accounted for 8% of the Group's total sales.

Zinzino Annual Report 19 NEW MARKET USA SUCCESSFUL START OF SALES Zinzino Food launched its sales in the USA in early December 2013 with the products BalanceTest, BalanceOil and BalanceShake. To date, sales have already spread to 26 states, indicating great potential for continued geographic expansion and strong sales. The market was officially opened on 8 February 2014.

Approximately 200 enthusiastic American and European independent sellers were on hand to celebrate the opening, along with representatives from the company. OFFICE IN FLORIDA Zinzino has established both a sales office and a warehouse in the USA to be able to offer the market the best possible service and to handle the rapid growth that is already clearly evident. The sales office is located in Jupiter, Florida, where Zinzino's employees are well equipped to provide customer service and support to our American customers and independent sellers. At present, the office has two members of support staff and one chief operating officer. Zinzino Annual Report 20 WHAT IS DIRECT SELLING? “Membership in Direkthandels Förening is a seal of quality for Zinzino as a company” PERSONAL CONTACT Direct selling is all about personal contact outside the more traditional sales settings, such as stores. Perhaps the most common form of direct selling takes place via so-called home parties, in which the direct seller either invites the potential customer into their home or makes a visit to the customer so that the customer can try out their products. At Zinzino, direct sellers are called “independent partners”. In addition to recommending the product to potential customers, a partner in Zinzino can also build up their own sales organisation along with other direct sellers and thus build up their own business. For entrepreneurs, Zinzino also offers an exciting business opportunity centred on sales, marketing and personal development. Training in this work is organised by the network of independent partners in collaboration with the company. Zinzino also wants the independent partners who decide to accept this business offer to feel that they are working in a vibrant, friendly network where they are well cared for and receive support and guidance from experienced independent partners. The private network is the backbone of this type of business, but the Zinzino company is always behind it, providing support and driving it forward. Independent partners benefit from an established brand, advanced products and a system for training and marketing along with other independent partners in the network. The company gets dedicated marketers and our independent partners gain access to exclusive products of very high quality without needing to purchase large inventories. Zinzino offers business opportunities for different people with different lifestyles at different stages of their life. Zinzino independent partners enjoy great flexibility and choose their own working hours and intensity. Zinzino supplies the tools and the opportunities for independent partners to create their own success according to personal ambitions, lifestyle and goals. The possibilities are endless!

The bright and pleasant office on Hulda Lindgrens Gata is a hub of activity. Here, all of the employees work in different areas to together deliver the absolute best to our customers and sellers. It is a living work environment where every day is unique – a result of the company's booming growth. It is exciting to work at Zinzino's head office. It is a young, expansive and dynamic workplace that provides great space for fun challenges and personal development. Each employee is important, and we all help one another to continually maintain the high quality that permeates throughout our business. The office is currently home to about 50 employees and we have increased the number of employees by over 300 % in recent years. The average age of the employees is currently 33. In spring 2013, we outgrew the office space that we moved to in the winter of 2010 and therefore expanded to additional workspace one floor up. In August 2013, part of our staff moved up to the new workspace. The new workspace is at the top of the building and has windows facing two directions, making it very bright. In addition to the office space, it has a small kitchen, a handy conference room, and a “chat room” big enough for two. The head office is home to management and operational functions. Our biggest department is Support and Customer Service, which answers questions and provides support to our sellers and customers daily by phone and e-mail. The languages of each and every one of our markets is represented in Zinzino's Support and Customer Service, ensuring that we can always assist customers and sellers in the best possible manner. Our diverse origins also help create a very rewarding and interesting environment for colleagues to socialise and learn from each other's experiences and knowledge. “ “ Zinzino's head office is a fun workplace where my skills in language and communication are constantly evolving. It has an international environment with challenges and a fast pace that fills my days with a lot of adventure. Being part of Zinzino's journey is a huge honour for me. - Greta Simaityte, Lithuanian Support and Customer Service worker Support and Customer Service is the department most affected by growth. This has led to steady growth in the number of Support and Customer Service workers during the year. We also strengthened our Sales, Accounting and Marketing departments. We expect to continue hiring more employees as we expand into new markets in 2014. External provider of warehousing and logistics To handle the increased sales volumes, Zinzino has phased out its own house operations, which were previously handled in the same building. In July 2013, a cooperation began with an external provider who now handles both warehousing and logistics from its premises in Trollhättan, Sweden. We are very pleased with this cooperation, which is an important move for us to be able continue expanding at the pace we want.

Zinzino Annual Report 25 FINANCIAL INFORMATION Zinzino Annual Report 18 26 DIRECTORS' REPORT The Board of Directors and CEO of Zinzino AB, 556733-1045, hereby submit this Annual Report and consolidated financial statements for financial year 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2013. OWNERSHIP AND HISTORY EVENTS DURING THE YEAR Business activities commenced in autumn 2007. The principal activity of the business is to own and develop companies in direct marketing and related businesses. Establishment in the USA In 2013, Zinzino established a limited liability company (LLC) in the USA. In 2009, Zinzino Nordic AB was acquired through both a directed issue in kind to shareholders in Zinzino Nordic AB and through the rights issue Zinzino Nordic conducted in December 2009. This gave Zinzino AB control over 97% of votes and 92% of capital in Zinzino Nordic AB. As of 31 December 2013, ownership in Zinzino Nordic totalled 93% of the capital and 97% of the votes. At an early stage of the establishment process, Zinzino chose to situate both the sales office and the warehouse in the USA to offer the market the best possible service and handle growth quickly. The sales office is located in Jupiter, Florida, where Zinzino's employees are well equipped to provide customer service and support to our American customers and independent sellers. Logistics for the entire country is handled via the same external partner as in Europe, with the warehouse located in Norfolk, Virginia. In addition to Zinzino Nordic AB, the following wholly-owned companies are part of the Group: Zinzino OÜ in Estonia, Zinzino UAB in Lithuania, SIA Zinzino in Latvia, Zinzino Ehf in Iceland, and the company established in 2013, Zinzino LLC in Jupiter, Florida, USA. In addition to this, Zinzino Nordic owns 100% of the companies Zinzino Sverige AB, Zinzino OY (Finland), Zinzino AS (Norway) and Zinzino ApS (Denmark), as well as the dormant Swedish subsidiaries PG Two AB, Poxian AB and 2Think AB. INFORMATION ON GROUP OPERATIONS Net sales for the Group totalled SEK 226.3 (161.7) million, with earnings after financial items totalling SEK 10.4 (5.3) million. This represents revenue growth of 40% and a 95% improvement in profit. Net sales are spread over two product lines – Zinzino Food and Zinzino Coffee. In 2013, sales of Zinzino Coffee were SEK 140.9 million and sales of Zinzino Food were SEK 85.4 million. Zinzino is a sales company that uses independent distributors who market and sell products via commission through direct selling. In 2013, Zinzino signed contracts with 10,363 (9,812) new distributors and 48,190 (26,193) new customers. The geographic breakdown of sales in 2013 is as follows: Norway 30%, Finland 18%, Denmark 13%, Estonia 11%, Sweden 10%, Iceland 8%, Lithuania 5%, Latvia 5 % and the USA 0.2%. Sales growth per market in 2013 compared with previous year: Iceland 220%., Latvia 176%, Lithuania 159%, Estonia 67%, Finland 41%, Denmark 26%, Norway 21%, Sweden 2%. Market analysis shows that Norway remains the strongest market, with total income of SEK 77.6 (62.1) million. The fastest growing, not counting the newly founded USA, is Iceland with SEK 19.2 (6.0) in sales and Latvia with SEK 11.5 (4.3) million in sales. Sweden had sales of SEK 25.5 (23.8) million, Denmark SEK 34.0 (25.8) million, Finland SEK 44.4 (31.0) million, Estonia SEK 28.7 (17.1) million and Lithuania SEK 13.1 (4.9) million. During the last month of the year, sales in the USA totalled SEK 0.5 million. Zinzino Annual Report Zinzino Food launched its sales in the USA in early December with the products BalanceTest, BalanceOil and BalanceShake. By year-end, sales had spread to 23 states, indicating great potential for continued geographic expansion and strong sales. In the first stage of establishment on the American market, Zinzino has chosen to focus on sales of the Zinzino Food product line. No decision has been made as yet regarding when the Zinzino Coffee product line will be launched on the American market. Transition to external logistics partner In 2013, Zinzino phased out its own warehouse operations and transitioned to an external logistics partner. This makes it possible to continue managing a high growth rate. The transition made it possible to increase capacity on short notice, which facilitates Zinzino's expansion. The transition process was extensive and required significant investments in appropriate IT technology. Logistics is running smoothly and Zinzino continues to reap huge benefits from the solution. Zinzino Food in focus During the year, Zinzino put major focus on the new product line, Zinzino Food. Together with partly-owned Bioactive Foods AS, the company worked actively with product development. As a result, Zinzino BalanceOil with vanilla flavour and BalanceShake were launched during the year. In the Zinzino Food product line, BalanceOil is the clear top seller on most of Zinzino's markets. BalanceShake includes BalanceOil in powder form. BalanceShake has been a strong contributor to sales growth in markets such as Iceland, which has grown to become Zinzino's third-largest market. Zinzino has also launched accessories in the product line, such as the Zinzino Smoothie Maker and Zinzino Shake Bottle. When 2013 is summed up, sales of the product line amount to SEK 85.4 million, representing 38% of total product sales. During the fourth quarter, Zinzino Food accounted for 50% of net sales. This trend continues in early 2014. In terms of earnings, the new product line increased gross profit in the company as the margins for Zinzino Food products are generally better than those of Zinzino Coffee. In 2013, Zinzino's total gross profit margin increased from 24% to 28%. 27 Sales of Zinzino Coffee remain stable Zinzino's home café concept, which previously was the Group's only product line, has been known as “Zinzino Coffee” since late 2012. The main products of the product line are quality espresso machines and associated espresso pods. Together with the other Zinzino Coffee products, such as milk frothers and confectionery, the customer can create a café experience right in his/her own kitchen. Today, Zinzino offers its customers seven different espresso machines in different price ranges and 25 different varieties of coffee and tea. The range also includes several Fairtradelabelled products, such as coffee, tea and sugar. The secret to Zinzino Coffee's success is both quality products and the unique concept of enabling customers to take out a coffee subscription. When a customer takes out a subscription, he/she can purchase an espresso machine at a discount price. The coffee is simply and conveniently delivered to the customer's home every other month. The stable growth in Zinzino Coffee will be maintained by continuously improving and developing the products and the range, and by continuing to build the Zinzino brand on the home café market. The continued increasing trend of home café in combination with Zinzino's concept creates opportunities to win significant market shares within the segment. Customer in focus In 2013, Zinzino maintained a strong focus on increasing customer satisfaction. Further initiatives have been implemented in the company's customer and sales support, through efforts such as increasing the number of employees in the relevant departments, and implementation of a new telephone system. This has resulted in a high level of service, which has generated more active customers and reduced the number of customers lost. The seller's bonus system also underwent an overhaul with the aim of generating more customers. The impact has been positive and the number of active customers is increasing steadily. BUSINESS MODEL AND MARKETING STRATEGY The core of Zinzino's business is marketing and sales. The company's network of independent sellers and sales teams markets the products and services to the consumer, while much of the company's own marketing is directed at developing attractive offers to customers and offering sellers the information and knowledge they need to be able to do their job out in the field. Marketing consists primarily of providing product information, promotional materials, basic training materials and an effective flow of information via the web, social media and e-mail. Company management maintains an active dialogue with the “leader council” made up of representatives from the sales network. This has proven to be highly appreciated and the dialogue is considered a recipe for success. Zinzino's Product and Sales department works continually with new and exciting projects in collaboration with the Rombouts & Malongo and BioActive Foods product development team. Zinzino Annual Report By keeping product development at the forefront, Zinzino strengthens its position. ORGANIZATION AND EFFICIENCY Zinzino has continued efforts to streamline its business systems and procedures to better handle the increased sales in a stable and satisfactory manner. The organisation has been strengthened with additional resources in practically all departments at the head office in Gothenburg. 2013 also saw the opening of a local sales office in Florida, USA, where Zinzino hired a COO for the American market and two support workers. As previously mentioned, Zinzino phased out its own warehousing during the year and has transitioned to an external logistics partner as part of its efforts to streamline future growth. Complaint and return management remains an internal process in the company. FINANCIAL POSITION By the end of 2013, the Group had equity of SEK 21.6 (12.4) million, liquid assets of SEK 10.9 (16.5) million and an equity/ assets ratio of 38% (26%). Capital tied up in inventory increased to SEK 28.4 (15.4) million. The increase is due to a seasonal increase in inventory of finished products of our own brand at Zinzino Food's supplier in connection with the launch of new products. Another contributing factor is entry into the American market with a local warehouse. The increase is considered temporary and the normal inventory level at the current size is estimated at about SEK 20 million. Most of the surplus inventory of espresso-related products was sold out during the year. The equity of the parent company Zinzino AB was SEK 21.5 million, representing an equity/assets ratio of 96%. Zinzino has a favourable tax situation with unutilised loss carry forward in the companies Zinzino Nordic AB and Zinzino AB in excess of SEK 100 million. Deferred tax assets have not been reported. RISKS AND EXTERNAL FACTORS AFFECTING GROWTH IN ZINZINO The Board continually discusses external risks for Zinzino's expansion. The greatest risks remain in the organisation's ability to manage costs during strong growth. The planning of purchases is a challenge during rapid expansion. Management is therefore actively working with purchase forecasts and inventory optimisation to meet the challenge effectively and avoid tying up capital in inventory unnecessarily. The prioritisation of IT resources is another challenge for Zinzino when the growth rate is high. The company is working actively to optimise and distribute resources in the best way possible. The ability to recruit the right personnel on short notice is also important. Innovations and product developments from competitors also pose risks for Zinzino. The Board believes, however, that access to the Rombouts & Malongo product range, as well as the new Zinzino Food/Balance product line enables the company to remain very competitive. 28 FUTURE FINANCIAL TARGETS The Zinzino Board of Directors hereby presents the financial targets and key figures the company intends to achieve in coming years: During the period 2014-2016, average sales growth shall be at least 25% and the net margin shall increase to > 6%. The dividend policy shall be 30% of net income, provided that liquidity and financial strength permit this. For 2014, we forecast that net sales shall exceed SEK 290 million, representing growth of at least 28%. The net margin is expected to exceed 4% in 2014.

The first trade of the year was at SEK 6.70 and the last at SEK 6.40. The year's peak was on 16 January 2013 with a trade at SEK 10.10. The low of SEK 5.00 came on 19 April 2013. An average of 1,247 shares were traded per trade at an average price of SEK 7.25. OPTION PLAN Zinzino has issued warrants on two occasions: At the end of 2012, Zinzino implemented an option plan in which 2,100,000 warrants were issued to key people in Group management and the sales network. The reason for the deviation from the shareholder's preferential rights was that the company deemed it important to create lasting incentives for executives considered essential to the company's future growth. The Board determined that a plan for warrants that did not burden the company's liquidity would be the most beneficial for the company and the company's shareholders. Holders of call options after the aforementioned issue are entitled, between 1 August 2012 and 1 November 2016, to make cash purchases for new shares, each share with a quota value of SEK 0.1 according to a subscription price of SEK 2 per share. Zinzino has previously issued 2,500,000 options to Partner Rewards AB. Each option gives the holder the right to subscribe a new share in the company, each share with a quota value of SEK 0.1 under a subscription price of SEK 5 per share. Share subscription must take place between 1 August 2010 and 1 December 2014. The intention with the option plan is to give the owners of Partner Rewards AB a tool to reward successful sellers in the Zinzino sales network both inside and outside of Sweden. The share subscription period is 1 August 2010 to 1 December 2014. Partner Rewards is a company under the control of Örjan Saeles.

When general advice was not available from the Accounting Standards Board, guidance has been taken from the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council recommendations and, in applicable cases, from statements by FAR. In such cases, this is noted in specific order below. The accounting principles are unchanged from the previous year. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The consolidated financial statements include the parent company, subsidiaries in which the parent company directly or indirectly owns shares corresponding to 50% of voting rights or through agreements has a controlling interest, and associated companies in which the parent company owns shares corresponding to at least 20% or in another way has significant influence without a subsidiary relationship. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the purchase method. This means that a subsidiary's assets and liabilities are recorded at acquisition value, which formed the basis for the determination of purchase price for the shares. The difference between purchase price and the acquired company's equity is recorded as goodwill. Group equity includes the parent company's equity and portions of subsidiary equity arising after the acquisition of these companies. Translation of foreign subsidiaries' income statements and balance sheets are prepared using the current rate method. This means that assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate and that the income statements are translated at average exchange rates during the financial year. Items recorded under equity are translated to the prevailing rates at the time of acquisition. Any translation differences are recorded directly in consolidated equity. Inter-company profits are eliminated in full. REVENUE RECOGNITION Income from sales of goods and services is recognised at the date of delivery. Net sales comprise sales value less VAT and discounts. INTEREST Interest income is recognised as it is earned. LEASING The financial agreements within the Group are reported as operating leases, which means that leasing fees are reported as an expense in the income statement. INCOME TAX The Group's tax expenses or tax income comprise current tax, changes in deferred tax and tax attributable to share in profits in associated companies. Current tax is the tax payable on the taxable profit for a period in accordance with tax regulations in each country. Deferred tax is calculated based on taxable and deductible temporary differences between reported and tax values of assets and liabilities. Loss allowances are only taken into account to the extent that it is probable that the loss allowance can be utilised in the foreseeable future. Valuation of all tax liabilities/assets are measured at nominal amounts and in accordance with applicable tax regulations and tax rates. RECEIVABLES Receivables are recorded at the lowest nominal value and at the amount that is expected to be received. Receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies are valued at the closing rate. Exchange gains and losses on operating receivables and liabilities are included in operating profit. Gains and losses on financial receivables and liabilities are reported as financial items. INVENTORIES Inventories are valued according to the lowest value principle and FIFO (first in, first out) method. This means that inventories are stated at acquisition cost under the FIFO method or at fair value, whichever is lower. Deductions for real obsolescence have been made. FIXED ASSETS Fixed assets are valued at acquisition value less accumulated depreciation/amortisation. Depreciation/amortisation is applied systematically over an asset's expected useful life as listed below: Equipment, tools and installations Intangible assets 20% per year 20% per year CASH FLOW STATEMENT The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method.. The reported cash flow only includes transactions that involve cash payments. Zinzino Annual Report 37 NOTES TO INDIVIDUAL ITEMS Note 1 SEGMENT REPORTING Segmentation is based on the Group's internal reporting structure, which is based on sales per geographic area. Sales in the Nordic region comprise approx. 79% of total sales. The Directors' Report specifies the geographic distribution.
