The year´s tax amounts to DKK 92 million. The relative tax charge has been reduced from 33% in 1995 to 30% in 1996. The years cash tax is DKK 61 million, corresponding to an effective tax rate of 20%, while the increase of deferred tax amounts to DKK 31 million. Profit for the year is DKK 219 million, corresponding to an increase of 43%. Minority interests account for DKK 1 million of the profit. With this profit, Lundbecks targets for 1996 were met. The reason for this significant improvement is primarily that cash flow from operations was improved by DKK 182 million to DKK 282 million in 1996, as a consequence of the markedly improved 1996 profit as well as the fact that the years financial commitments were reduced significantly compared with 1995. Furthermore, the improvement is due to the fact that Lundbecks capital investments in 1996 were reduced by DKK 50 million compared with 1995. The significant growth in capital investments over a number of years has thus been replaced by a stabilisation, which is expected to continue for the next couple of years. In 1996, the most important capital investments were in an extension of laboratories and office facilities for Research and Development. In the coming years, further investments in modernisation and development of the settings for Research and Development are expected to constitute the majority of the Groups capital investments. It appears from the statement of sources and application of funds that Lundbecks interest-bearing net cash at yearend 1996 was improved by DKK 16 million to DKK 70 million compared with 1995. STATEMENT OF SOURCES AND APPLICATION OF FUNDS The Groups target for 1996 of a significant improvement of cash flow from operations and investments was met with a positive cash flow of DKK 58 million. Lundbecks cash flow is thus positive for the first time since 1991. Compared with 1995, this is a marked improvement by DKK 232 million, as cash flow from operations and investments last year was negative by DKK 174 million. 34 CONTENTS Supervisory Board and Board of Management . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 The Sup SPECIALISTS IN PSYCHIATRY PIONEERS IN NEUROLOGY As a specialist, one must constantly seek knowledge SUPERVISORY BOARD Arne V.
