The financial year has been influenced by a significant drop in sales of significant product groups on the primary market in China.

The Danish Veterinary and Food Administration reported the subsidiary Mille Food A/S to the police and postulated that Mille Food A/S has had profits of approximately DKK 32,000 thousand on the basis of allegedly used illegal ingredients in their production. The Company has a potential counter claim of DKK 20,000 thousand in relation to seized and destroyed goods. It is management's assessment that the claim will be waived and consequently no provision has been made in this respect.
