* The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) issued guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures ("APM") that came into force on 3 July 2016. Magnora has defined and explained the purpose of the following APMs:
(Figures for 2017 are presented in brackets)
3) the successful production, offloading and gas export of 4 million barrels which is estimated to be approximately 6 months after successful start-up. It is anticipated that the construction of the Penguins FPSO will be completed in Asia during mid 2021. Achievement of the further milestones will take place subsequently.
Following the SMIY transaction, the Company's main business activity is currently focused on managing the license agreements retained by the Company. These license agreements are: The Western Isles agreement and the Shell Penguins FPSO agreement. These agreements have the potential to generate significant cash flow for the Company in the coming years.
Magnora is entitled to a variable license fee of USD 0.50 per barrel produced and offloaded from the Dana Western Isles FPSO (the "FPSO"). The associated license income for 2018 was NOK 49.0 million (NOK 3.2 million). which was the equivalent of approximately 33,000 barrels per day on average for 2018.
The newly built FPSO was completed in 2017 and first oil was achieved in Q4 2017. The FPSO is owned and operated by Dana Petroleum and is producing at the Western Isles development in the UK sector of the North Sea. The FPSO has a production capacity of 44,000 barrels per day. The Western Isles development is expected to have a field life of 15 years. The FPSO is expected to have a design life of 20 to 25 years, and thus could produce oil for longer than 15 years. Magnora´s right to payments is tied to the FPSO, irrespective of operating location and field. Any potential oil field tied-back to the FPSO or any redeployment, irrespective of location, will also be subject to the payment obligations under the agreement. The Western Isles agreement is expected to generate income for Magnora in the years to come.
Post the transaction with SMIY, the financial benefit of the Shell Penguins FPSO license agreement remains with Magnora. The final investment decision regarding the Shell Penguins Redevelopment project was taken in January 2018. Magnora received payment for the first milestone of USD 2.625 million (NOK 20.7 million) under the license agreement in Q1 2018. Further payments under the license agreement are subject to three milestones; the completion and sail away of the FPSO from the construction yard, the installation of the FPSO at the field and achievement of first oil, and the successful production, offloading and gas export of 4 million barrels which is estimated to be approximately 6 months after successful start-up. It is anticipated that the construction of the Penguins FPSO will be completed in Asia during mid 2021. Achievement of the further milestones will then take place subsequently.
(Figures for 2017 are presented in brackets)
Operating revenue from continued operation for 2018 was NOK 70.4 million, up from NOK 3.2 million in 2017. The increase of NOK 67.2 million was a result of a received payment for the first milestone of USD 2.625 million (NOK 20.7 million) under the Shell Penguins FPSO license agreement in 2018, and also license fees received from the Dana Western Isles project that started production in November 2017. EBITDA from continued operations was positive NOK 42.1 million (NOK 35.1 million negative), and was positively impacted by a reduction in operating cost of NOK 10.0 million, mainly due to a reduction in one-off items related to the Logitel arbitration settlement. Net profit from continued operations was NOK 87.2 million (NOK 5.7 million) and
was impacted by the recognition of a deferred tax asset of NOK 42.8 million.
The Group has prepared the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU.
As of December 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 100.3 million for continued operations (NOK 195.9 million). The negative cash flow for the year of NOK 95.6 million was due to the distribution of the share capital reduction of NOK 131.5 million and payment of dividends of NOK 315.6 million.This was partly offset by the received sale proceeds from the transaction with SMIY of NOK 327.2 million and a positive cash flow from operating activities.
A detailed cash flow statement is included in the financial statements.
The equity ratio was 90 percent as of December 31, 2018.
Balance sheet composition year end 2018:

As of year-end 2018, total assets amounted to NOK 150.2 million (NOK 221.2 million) whereof cash and cash equivalents amounted to NOK 100.3 million (NOK 197.5 million).
Total equity as of December 31, 2018 amounted to NOK 135.8 million (NOK 184.0 million), and the equity ratio was 90 percent (83 percent).
The Group had no interest bearing debt in 2018 or 2017.
Upon completion of the Teekay Offer, Magnora has withdrawn the lawsuit against Logitel Offshore Pte Ltd. and the parties have agreed not to bring or pursue any other claims against each other and their affiliates in relation to activities prior to July 06, 2018. This has led to a NOK 4.1 million non-cash gain in 2018 as the accrual for payment of Logitel Offshore Pte Ltd.'s legal fees awarded by the Oslo District Court in 2017 has been reversed.
On October 2, 2018, Magnora purchased 15% of the shares in Arendal Brygge AS for NOK 300 000. Following this transaction, Magnora owns 50% of the shares in Arendal Brygge AS. Sparebanken Sør owns the other 50% of the shares. In 2018, Magnora ASA and Sparebanken Sør also agreed to each provide a NOK 150 000 shareholder loan (NOK 300 000 in total) to Arendal Brygge to support the Arendal Brygge's liquidity. On March 19, 2019, Magnora and Sparebanken Sør agreed to provide an additional shareholder loan of NOK 550 000 each (NOK 1 100 000 in total) to Arendal Brygge. The funds will be used to support Arendal Brygge's liquidity needs and to repay the NOK 300 000 loan mentioned above as well as to finance amounts due in June 2019 to both Magnora and Sparebanken Sør of NOK 447 553.
At the annual general meeting held on May 24, 2018, shareholders approved a share capital reduction and return of NOK 0.50 per share to shareholders. At the extraordinary general meeting held on July 06, 2018, shareholders approved a further share capital reduction and return of NOK 2 per share to shareholders. In addition, at the extraordinary general meeting held on October 12, 2018, the shareholders resolved an extraordinary dividend of NOK 6.0 per share to shareholders. On November 13, 2018, the above distributions totalling NOK 447 159 492 or NOK 8.5 per share were paid to shareholders.
On January 16, 2019, Magnora initiated a share buyback program. The buyback program is carried out by market purchases in accordance with the authorization granted by the extraordinary general meeting to the Board of directors on 18 December 2018. Buyback transactions are executed according to the market price on the Oslo Stock Exchange and the maximum consideration to be paid for shares acquired under the buyback program is NOK 7 per share and NOK 5.7 million in aggregate. The maximum number of shares that can be acquired under the program is 1 425 000 shares. The program will be terminated on 24 April 2019. The Company intends to extend the share buyback program subject to approval by shareholders at the annual general meeting to be held on May 21, 2019. Magnora may at any time without further notice close or suspend the program. Shares purchased under the program will be used to reduce the number of outstanding shares. The maximum number of shares which may be purchased in any one day is limited to 50% of the average weighted daily volume of Magnora shares traded in the 20 trading days preceding the day of purchase. The share buyback program is managed and will be executed by Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken on behalf of Magnora. As of the date of this report, Magnora owns 20 301 shares or 0.0004 percent of total shares outstanding.
In addition, the board of Magnora intends to carry-out further distributions of capital to shareholders in 2019, in the form of dividends and/or reductions in share capital. The intention of the Board is to distribute the cash flow generated by the license agreements, in addition to any excess cash held by the Company, to the extent legally permitted, to shareholders. Magnora will at the same time seek to maintain an appropriate cash balance in the Company and will take this into consideration if proposing any dividends and/or distributions of capital. It is currently expected that a cash balance of approximately NOK 25-40 million will be
retained by the Company. In order to facilitate further distributions, the board intends to recommend a share capital reduction, including a payout of NOK 1 per share, as well as proposing the granting of an authorization to pay interim quarterly dividends to shareholders at the annual general meeting to be held on May 21, 2019.
In accordance with section 3-3(a) of the Norwegian Accounting Act, the Board confirms that the annual accounts have been prepared on a going concern assumption, which the Board believes is appropriate based on the Company's strategic plans and financial prognosis.
The Board proposes the following appropriation of the annual profit of NOK 377.8 million in the parent company Magnora ASA:
Dividend already distributed to shareholders based on an Interim Balance Sheet September 04, 2018: NOK 315.6 million Profit transferred to other equity: NOK 62.2 million Total appropriation: positive NOK 377.8 million
Magnora is exposed to market risk, credit risk, currency risk and liquidity risk. The company's overall risk management program focuses on the uncertainty of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the company's financial performance.
Magnora's main counterparties are oil companies and global marine contractors with a strong financial basis, but, as with suppliers and customers in general, there is a risk that unforeseen financial difficulties on the counterparty's side may arise which could have material adverse effects on the financial condition, the cash flows and/or the prospects of Magnora.
The majority of the Company's revenue is in USD. To reduce the currency risk, the Company has hedged a portion of the expected USD income through December 2019
The company is also subject to field development and reservoir risk in situations where the license fee is tied to the field development and production such as the Dana Western Isles income and Shell Penguins license fee income. Magnora's business activity and income is currently limited to the Dana Western Isles and Shell Penguins license fee income. The fact that the main income of the business is linked to these two contracts is also a risk factor.
Magnora was informed in May 2018 that the Norwegian authority for investigation and prosecution of economic and environmental crime ("ØKOKRIM") concluded its investigation. ØKOKRIM has dismissed the case into potential corruption involving contracts awarded to Magnora in Brazil in the period 2005 to 2008. Magnora has at no stage been charged and has fully cooperated with ØKOKRIM. Despite the dismissal by ØKOKRIM, there remains a risk of potential claims from involved parties and/or authorities in other jurisdictions.
Magnora ASA was informed during the third quarter 2017 that Sembmarine SSP Inc. and Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd initiated patent infringement proceedings against Magnora ASA as well as Sevan Drilling Ltd and Sevan Drilling North America LLC in the Southern District Court of Texas in relation to the U.S. Patent No. 9,266,587.
With the completion of the SMIY transaction, this lawsuit has been terminated.
Reference is made to note 3 in the Financial Statements for 2018 for further information, as well as to comments made under Going Concern above

Currently, the Company has not implemented any specific measures in order to meet the objective of the Discrimination Act and of the Anti-discrimination and Accessibility Act. The need for specific measures in this respect is continuously considered by the Board and the management.

Magnora's corporate structure, following the completion of the SMIY transaction, is organized to be as efficient and cost effective as possible. Magnora currently has only 3 part time staff. Given the current structure of the Company, it is expected that total group operating costs will be in the range of NOK 7 to 10 million through 2019

In accordance with section 3-3 b of the Norwegian Accounting Act, the Company shall in connection with its annual financial statements provide a statement on how the Company has implemented the principles of, and account for any deviations from, the Code of Practice. Below is an outline on the Company's principles for corporate governance, in accordance with the categories listed in the Code of Practice. At the turn of the year 2019/2018, the Company deviates from the Code of Practice on the following point:
· The Board of Directors has so far chosen not to adopt or publish any explicit guiding principles for how it will act in the event of a takeover bid (Section 14; Takeovers)
The Company's objective, as set out in § 3 of the Company's articles of association (the "Articles"), is "to offer products and services to the energy; offshore and oil services industry, and sectors directly or indirectly related to these, in addition to investments in and acquisitions of businesses, securities, financial instruments and other assets, and participating in other businesses, directly or indirectly linked to these".

The Articles are available at the Company's website.
The Company seeks to maintain a healthy financial structure which is adjusted to its business as well as the duration of its contract portfolio. As of December, 31, 2018, the Group had an equity share ratio of 90 percent. The Board of Directors continually reviews the Group's capital situation in light of the Company's targets, strategies and risk profile.
At the annual general meeting held on May 24, 2018, shareholders approved a share capital reduction and return of NOK 0.50 per share to shareholders. At the extraordinary general meeting held on July 06, 2018, shareholders resolved a further share capital reduction and return of NOK 2 per share to shareholders. In addition, at the extraordinary general meeting held on October 12, 2018, the shareholders approved an extraordinary dividend of NOK 6.0 per share to shareholders. On November 13, 2018, the above distributions totalling NOK 447 159 492 or NOK 8.5 per share were paid to shareholders.
On January 16, 2019, Magnora initiated a share buyback program. The buyback program is carried out by market purchases in accordance with the authorization granted by the extraordinary general meeting to the Board of directors on 18 December 2018. Buyback transactions are executed according to the market price on the Oslo Stock Exchange and the maximum consideration to be paid for shares acquired under the buyback program is NOK 7 per share and NOK 5.7 million in aggregate. The maximum number of shares that can be acquired under the program is 1 425 000 shares. The program will be terminated on 24 April 2019. The Company intends to extend the share buyback program subject to approval by shareholders at the annual general meeting to be held on May 21, 2019. Magnora may at any time without further notice close or suspend the program. Shares purchased under the program will be used to reduce the number of outstanding shares. The maximum number of shares which may be purchased in any one day is limited to 50% of the average weighted daily volume of Magnora shares traded in the 20 trading days preceding the day of purchase. The share buyback program is managed and will be executed by Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken on behalf of Magnora. As of the date of this report, Magnora holds 20 301 in treasury shares or 0.0004 percent of total shares outstanding.
In addition, the board of Magnora intends to carry-out further distributions of capital to shareholders in 2019, in the form of dividends and/or reductions in share capital. The intention of the Board is to distribute the cash flow generated by the license agreements, in addition to any excess cash held by the Company, to the extent legally permitted, to shareholders. Magnora will at the same time seek to maintain an appropriate cash balance in the Company and will take this into consideration if proposing any dividends and/or distributions of capital. It is currently expected that a cash balance of approximately NOK 25-40 million will be retained by the Company. In order to facilitate further distributions, the board intends to recommend a share capital reduction, including a payout of NOK 1 per share, as well as proposing the granting of an authorization to pay interim quarterly dividends to shareholders at the annual general meeting to be held on May 21, 2019.
At the annual general meeting in 2017, The Board of Directors was granted an authorization to increase the share capital by up to NOK 4.200.000 in connection with the incentive scheme for management and employees. The authorization was valid up to the annual general meeting in 2018, but no longer than June 30, 2018. In addition at the annual general meeting in 2018, The Board of Directors was granted a continued authorization to increase the share capital by up to NOK 7,600,000 in connection with the incentive scheme for management and employees. The authorization is valid up to the annual general meeting in 2019, but no longer than June 30. 2019.
On the basis of the approval by the annual general meeting of May 24, 2017 to authorize the Board of Magnora to issue new shares to employees under a long-term incentive program, the Board resolved on March 02, 2018 to issue options to employees of the Company. A total of 943,505 options for shares of the Company were distributed amongst the management and all employees. As the SMIY transaction constituted a change of control event under the employee share option program, the Board of Directors of the Company resolved to terminate the Company's share incentive program on September 04, 2018 against cash consideration. All 890,072 outstanding options were considered fully vested at a strike price of NOK 10 and a fair value of the shares of NOK 14.50 each. The employees under the share option program received accordingly NOK 4.50 per option, corresponding to total consideration of NOK 4,005,324. Accordingly, no shares will be issued under the authorisation to increase the share capital granted to the Board of Directors.

Amounts in the tables above are prepared in local GAAP and presented in NOK million.
Subsidiaries listed above of which the Group has a shareholder interest per 31.12.2018, are included in Magnora ASA's consolidated financial statements, as the control criteria in IFRS 10 are met.
Magnora ASA sold their 95% share in HiLoad LNG AS on 04 September 2018 to Sembcorp Marine Integrated Yard Ple Ltd, and HiLoad LNG AS was deconsolidated from Magnora Group at the transaction date. The sales price was NOK 21 million (USD 2.5 million). The Group loss was NOK 3.8 million after deconsolidation and the loss is booked in discontinued operations in 2018.
Magnora ASA increased its shareholding in Arendal Brygge AS from 35% to 50% during 2018. At the balance sheet date, the book value of the investment is NOK 0.3 million. Magnora does not exercise control over the activities of Arendal Brygge AS and accounts for its shareholding in Arendal Brygge using the equity method. No profit or loss from Arendal Brygge AS is recognized in the Group's Financial Statement for 2018.
Sevan Asia Ple Ltd (Singapore) and Sevan (Shanghai) Co are both dormant and entered into voluntary liquidation in Singapore and China respectively in 2018. Completion of the voluntary liquidation process is expected by year end 2019.
Magnora's 51% share in KANFA AS was sold June 13, 2017 to Technip Norge AS and the KANFA AS group was deconsolidated from the Group at the transaction date. The sales price was NOK 2 million. The Group loss from the sale was NOK 9.2 million after deconsolidation the the loss was booked in discontinued operations in 2017.
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The presentation currency of the Group is NOK which corresponds to the functional currency of the majority of the entities in the Group. All numbers are in NOK million unless otherwise stated.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the European Union (EU) and valid as of December 31, 2018. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. For information regarding IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers, see note 2.1.1, and for future changes in financial standards, see Note 2.1.2.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.
IFRS 15 supersedes IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue and related Interpretations applies, with limited exceptions, to all revenue arising from contracts with customers. IFRS 15 establishes a five-step model to account for revenue arising from contracts with customers and requires that revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer.
IFRS 15 requires entities to exercise judgement, taking into consideration all of the relevant facts and circumstances when applying each step of the model to contracts with their customers. The standard also specifies the accounting for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract and the costs directly related to fulfilling a contract.
The Group adopted IFRS 15 using the modified retrospective approach. Implementation of IFRS 15 has not involved any material changes compared to how the Group reported according to previous revenue standards.
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments replaces IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, bringing together all three aspects of the accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement; impairment; and hedge accounting.
The Group adopted IFRS 9 retrospectly (no hedge accounting). The implementation of IFRS 9 has not involved any material changes compared to how the Group reported according to IAS 39.
The consolidated financial statements could be affected by
future changes in IFRS. The most important standards that could entail changes are the new IFRS 16 Leases (published in January 2016). Work is also in progress on changes in the IFRS Conceptual Framework and a new standard for Insurance Contracts. We have evaluated the possible impact of the adoption of the future new standards for the continued operations:
IFRS 16 Leases (effective from 1 January 2019). IFRS 16 establishes significant new accounting policies for lessees. IFRS 16 eliminates the current distinction between operating and finance leases as is required by IAS 17 Leases and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. When applying the new model, a lessee is required to recognise assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value, and recognise depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. The Group currently has no lease agreements that will be affected by the adoption of IFRS 16.
Subsidiaries comprise all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.
Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:
When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Group consider all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:
The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control over the subsidiary.
A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred assumed at the date of exchange. Acquisition- related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities incurred in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.
The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in the income statement immediately.
Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.
When the group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is re measured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates ("the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in NOK, which is the Group's presentation currency. The functional currency for the parent company is NOK.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions (realized items) and from translation at exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (unrealized items) are recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges.
The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency, are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date.
Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income.
Upon consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.
Acquired technology rights are capitalized on the basis of the cost incurred to acquire. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization but are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels at which separate cash flows are identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that has suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date. Recoverable amounts for the assets or CGUs for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period have been disclosed.
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables and other financial assets are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. The Group recognises an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all financial assets not held at fair value through profit or loss (e.g trade receivables). ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The provision for impairment of trade receivables is recognized in the income statement as 'other operating expense'. The provision for impairment of other financial assets is recognized in the income statement as 'financial expense'.
Hedge accounting has not been applied in 2018 or 2017.
The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met:
Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired.
The Groups financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables and other short-term recaivables. Trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are measured at the transaction price determined under IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.
Financial assets are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance sheet date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets.
In the consolidated statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, bank deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental cost directly attributable to the issue of new shares is shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any Group company acquires the Company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable cost (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled. reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable transaction cost and income tax, is included in equity attributable to the Company's equity holders.
The tax expense for the period comprises current and changes in deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit and loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and legislation) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The tax base included in the calculation of deferred income tax is calculated in local currency and translated into NOK at foreign exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date. Deferred income tax asset and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
As of year-end 2018 the Company operates a defined contribution plan. The plan is funded through payments to insurance companies. Contributions are paid to privately administrated pension insurance plans. The group has no further payment obligation once the contribution has been paid. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.
The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a constructive obligation. The provision takes into account the incurred portion of the measurement period and shall be based on a 'best estimate' of the expected achievements of the key performance indicators as set out in the actual bonus program.
A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.
Provisions are measured as the present value of the expected expenditures required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that accounts for time value of money and risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.
Revenue is recognized as follows:
The royalty is based on production and offloading of oil barrels and the revenue is recognised as the offloading occurs.
The group implemented IFRS 15 by using the modified retrospective approach, ref. note 2.1.1. Therefore, revenue from contruction contracts in 2017 are recognised according to IAS 11.
Cost regarding construction contracts is expensed when incurred. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, the contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs associated with the construction contract is recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period.
When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
The stage of completion method is used for calculating the revenue for a certain measurement period.
The Group had no construction contracts in 2018. The Group did have construction contracts in 2017.
Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividend is approved by the Company's shareholders.
Trade Payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as noncurrent liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
The cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method.
The Group classifies non-current assets and disposal groups as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sales transaction rather than through continuing use. Such non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Costs to sell are the incremental costs directly attributable to the sales transaction, excluding finance costs and income tax expense.
The criteria for held for sale classification is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Actions required to complete the sale should indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the sale will be made or that the decision to sell will be withdrawn. Management must be committed to the sale expected within one year from the date of the classification.
Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortised once classified as held for sale.
Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale are presented separately as current items in the statement of financial position.
A disposal group qualifies as discontinued operation if it is a component of an entity that either has been disposed of, or is classified as held for sale, and:
Is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale
Discontinued operations are excluded from the results of continuing operations and are presented as a single amount as profit or loss after tax from discontinued operations in the statement of profit or loss.
Additional disclosures are provided in Note 5. All other notes to the financial statements include amounts for continuing operations, unless indicated otherwise.
The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk, cash flow risk. interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.
The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets or liabilities, and net investments in foreign operations when such transactions, assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency. The majority of the Company's revenue is in USD. To reduce the currency risk, the Company has hedged a portion of the expected USD income through December 2019.
The Group's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group's revenue. Excluding hedging, any annualised increase or decrease in the USD/NOK foreign exchange by 10 percent would have increased or decreased the Group's 2018 profit before tax by NOK 7.0 million.
The Group has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk.
The Group is exposed to commodity price risk. Income is sensitive to oil price developments, fluctuations in production levels, exploration results and general activity within the oil industry.
The Group is subject to specific field development and reservoir risk in situations where the license fee is tied to field development and production such as the Dana Western Isles income and Shell Penguins license fee income. The Group's main income is derived from only two sources, being the Dana Western Isles agreement and the Shell Penguins license fee.
The Group's exposure to production risk relates primarily to the royalty revenue from the production and offloading of oil from the Dana Western Isles FPSO. Any annualised increase or decrease in the production and offloading by 10 percent would have increased or decreased the Group's 2018 profit before tax by NOK 4.9 million. The Shell Penguins license fee income in 2018 was USD 2.625 million (NOK 20.7 million) or 29 percent of total Group revenue for 2018.
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as loans and credit exposures to customers. The Group has one main banking relationship with a financial institution that is currently rated Aa3.
The Group's major customers are oil companies and global marine contractors with a strong financial basis, but, as with suppliers and customers in general, there is a risk that unforeseen financial difficulties on the counterparty's side may arise which could have
material adverse effects on the financial condition, the cash flows and/or the prospects of the Group.
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities, and the ability to close out market positions.
The Group has implemented routines to continuously update its cash flow forecast with changes to main assumptions relating to payment schedules, license milestone payments etc and to be able to foresee the necessary actions required to rectify any potential adverse effects on its future liquidity position.
Magnora is in a solid liquidity position with a cash balance of NOK 100.3 million at balance sheet date.
The Group currently has no outstanding covenants or security arrangements in place.
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital means total equity and cash balance. The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to maximise shareholder value.
The Group manages its capital through budgeting and cost monitoring.
The Group has exercised a conservative capital and cash management during 2017 and 2018. A sound financial position, with no interest-bearing debt and an asset light balance sheet reduces the capital and cash management risks.
Financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value or for which fair value are disclosed apply the following measurement hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
Level 3 - Inputs that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)
At the balance sheet date the Group has recognized the value of forward contracts related to foreign exchange at fair value based on Level 1 in the measurement hierarchy above. At the balance sheet date the fair value of the financial instruments was a liability of NOK 1.6 million. Reference is made to Note 27.
As announced, the Board initiated and received in October 2015 the external investigation report regarding allegations of possible improper conduct related to historical contracts with Petrobras in Brazil from Advokatfirmaet Selmer DA ("Selmer"). Magnora
decided to hand the report over to the Norwegian authority for investigation and prosecution of economic and environmental crime ("ØKOKRIM"). Magnora has made no payments and had no interaction with the agent in question or any of his companies since the IPO of drilling activities and restructuring of Magnora ASA in 2011.
Magnora was informed in May 2018 that the Norwegian authority for investigation and prosecution of economic and environmental crime ("ØKOKRIM") concluded its investigation. ØKOKRIM has dismissed the case into potential corruption involving contracts awarded to Magnora in Brazil in the period 2005 to 2008. Magnora has at no stage been charged and has fully cooperated with
Accounting estimates and judgments Note 4
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are assumed to be reasonable under current circumstances
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are disclosed below.
The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, transactions and calculations occur for which the ultimate tax effect is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.
The accounting for deferred income tax assets relies upon management's judgment of the Group's ability to generate future positive taxable income in each respective jurisdiction. Deferred tax assets are recognised in relation to the carry forward of unused tax losses only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilised in the future. Significant management judgement is required to determine the
ØKOKRIM. Despite the dismissal by ØKOKRIM, there remains a risk of potential claims from involved parties and/or authorities in other jurisdictions. Magnora adheres to the strictest of compliance and ethical standards.
Magnora ASA was informed during the third quarter 2017 that Sembmarine SSP Inc. and Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd initiated patent infringement proceedings against Magnora ASA as well as Sevan Drilling Ltd and Sevan Drilling North America LLC in the Southern District Court of Texas in relation to the U.S. Patent No. 9,266,587. With the completion of the transaction with SMIY this lawsuit has been terminated.
amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits.
The companies within the Magnora Group have in sum material deductible temporary differences (reference is made to note 14) which, dependent on meeting the recognition requirements according to IAS 12, could result in recognition of deferred tax assets in the balance sheet
A deferred tax asset has been recognized in 2018. The recognized deferred tax asset is most sensitive to expected future royalty revenue from the production and offloading of the Dana Western Isles FPSO, and the Group's operating cost level going forward. An assumption has been made that the FPSO will produce according to the expected production profile based on field reserves and lifetime estimates, and that the cost level will be in the range of NOK 7 to 10 million based on current structure of the Group. The deferred tax asset recognized is expected to be utilised within the next 5 years based upon on the company's contract portfolio and cost base as of today. The book value of the deferred tax asset represents a minor part of the total accumulated tax losses.
The Group uses estimates in calculating provisions. Reference is made to Note 16
The Group sold a major part of the it's business to Sembcorp Marine Integrated Yard Pte Ltd in 2018. The transaction represents a major part of the Group's business, and is therefore defined as discontinued operations in this report.
The disposed group classified as discontinued operations in 2017 and 2018: the sale of Magnora's 51% stake in KANFA AS to Technip Norge AS which was completed in June 2017, and the SMIY transaction which was completed on September 04, 2018.
On June 07, 2018, Magnora ASA entered into an agreement to sell its intellectual property, shares in HiLoad LNG AS and to transfer certain other assets and obligations, including employees, to Sembcorp Marine Integrated Yard Pte Ltd (SMY). On July 06, 2018, the shareholders of Magnora approved the transaction, and on September 04, 2018 the transaction was completed. As of December 31, 2018 the part of the business sold is classified as discontinued operations.
The result for the disposed group classified as discontinued operations, can be divided between the two transactions as follows: 2018 2017 NOK million 0.0 -10.1 Sale of KANFA AS 310.7 -29.5 Sale to Sembcorp Marine Integrated Yard Net profit/(loss) discontinued operations 310.7 -39.6

As of December 31, 2017, the Company had one major shareholder, Teekay Corporation, which owned 43.5 percent of the Company's shares.
At the balance sheet date 2018 and 2017 there are no remaining options.
On the basis of the approval by the Annual General Meeting of May 24, 2017, to authorize the Board of Magnora to employees under a long-tern incentive program, the Board resolved to issue options to employees of the Company. In March 2018, a total of 943,505 options for shares of the Company were distributed amongst the management and all employees.
As the sale to SMY constituted a change of control event under the employee share option program, the Board of Directors resolved to terminate the Company's share incentive program against cash consideration. All 890,072 outstanding options at the transaction closing date were considered fully vested at a strike price of NOK 10 and with a fair value of the shares of NOK 14.50 each. The employees under the share option program accordingly received NOK 4.50 per option, corresponding to total consideration of NOK 4,005,324. Accordingly, no shares were or will be issued under the authorisation to increase the share capital granted to the Board of Directors.

Magnora ASA's ('the Company') financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.
Magnora ASA is the parent company of the Magnora Group ('the Group').
The Company's functional currency is NOK. All numbers in the financial statements are in NOK 1,000,000 unless otherwise stated.
Assets intended for long term ownership or use, are classified as fixed assets. Assets relating to the operating cycle are classified as current assets. Receivables are classified as current assets if they are to be repaid within one year after balance sheet date. Equivalent criteria apply to liabilities.
Current assets are valued at the lower of purchase cost and net realizable value. Current liabilities are reflected in the balance sheet at nominal value at establishment date.
Fixed assets are valued at purchase cost. Fixed assets whose value will decline are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated useful life. Fixed assets are written down to net realizable value if a value reduction occurs that is expected to be permanent. Long-term liabilities are reflected in the balance sheet at nominal value on establishment date.
Trade receivables and other receivables are reflected in the balance sheet at nominal value less provision for estimated losses. Estimated losses are provided for on the basis of an individual assessment of each debtor.
Trade Payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.
Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to
any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small
Provisions are measured as the present value of the expected expenditures required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that accounts for time value of money and risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.
Fixed assets are reflected in the balance sheet and depreciated over the assets expected useful life on a straight-line basis. Maintenance cost is expensed as incurred. Additions or improvements are added to the asset's cost price and depreciated with the asset. When changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized and the asset is written down to recoverable amount (being the highest of net sales value and value in use). Value in use is the net present value of the expected future cash flows generated from the asset
In the parent company's accounts, investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are recorded under the cost method. Investments are written down to fair value when a reduction in value is expected to be permanent.
Dividend is recognized as income in the vear the provision is made in the subsidiary. If the dividend exceeds retained earnings, the excess represents repayment of invested capital, and dividend is deducted from the book value of the investment in the balance sheet.
Cash and bank deposits include cash in hand, bank deposits and other short-term highly liguid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses on assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are included as financial items in the income statement.
As of year-end 2018 the Company operated a defined contribution plan. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Company has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. Cost associated with the defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred.
Deferred income taxes is provided using the liability method on
temporary difference at balance sheet date between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose. Tax-reducing temporary differences and losses carry forward are offset against tax-increasing temporary differences that are reversed in the same time intervals. Taxes consist of taxes payable (taxes on current year taxable income) and change in net deferred taxes.
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit/loss by the weighted average of number of outstanding shares. Shares issued during the year are weighted in relation to the period they have been outstanding.
The cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method.
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of business. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax and discounts.
The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and in accordance with the underlying contracts.
Design fee/license revenue is recognized in accordance with the underlying contracts.
Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.
Service income is recognized in line with the underlying contracts and the amount of work executed.
Leases in which a significant portion of the risk and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
The Company does not currently have any outstanding lease agreements.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to use estimates and assumptions that impact the value of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure notes. Such estimates and assumptions may have significant impact on reported revenue and cost for a specific reporting period. Actual amounts may therefore deviate from the estimates.
Contingent losses, which are likely to occur as well as quantifiable, are expensed when incurred.

In our opinion.
We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities genorally acoopled in Norths) metallights responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Norway, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities as required by law and regulations. We have also complied with our other ethical obligations in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion,
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for 2018.

At 31 December 2018 the recorded amount of net deferred tax assets mainly deriving from tax losses carried forward was NOK 42.8 million for the Group and the parent company. The assessment of whether there will be sufficient tax profits in the future to utilize carried forward lax losses requires management judgment. The management assessment includes estimates of future sales, gross margins, operating costs, and the assumptions inherent in those estimates. Recognition of deferred tax assets is a key audit matter because the assessment process is complex, requires significant judgment and imposes significant estimation uncertainties.
Our audit procedures included identifying and assessing managements procedures for preparing budgets and deferred tax assets recognition. We tested the basis used in the estimation of recognized deferred tax assels and assessed future cash flows based on approved budgets and historical data. Further we evaluated managements assumptions applied in their estimate including value, probability and timing of future cash flows. We also tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and performed sensitivity analysis of the assumptions used.
We refer to note 4.1 and 14 in the consolidated financial statements related to deferred tax assets.
As described in Note 1, the company sold its engineering business and the subsidiary Hiload LNG AS in 2018. The sale was completed on 4 September 2018 with the purchaser Semboorp Marine Intergrated Yard Pte Ltd (Sembcorp). The company accounted for the sale as discontinued operations and this had a significant effect on the company financial statements presentation. Due to the significance and complexity of the transaction this was a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included an assessment of whether the accounting treatment was consistent with the requirements of IFRS and the sales agreement with Sembcorp. We obtained an understanding of the conditions in the sales agreement, and inquired management of any claims related to the sale. We recalculated the transaction gain, and also evaluated the allocation of results between continuing and discontinued operations for 2018 and 2017. We also reviewed the note disclosures related to the transaction.
We refer to note 5 in the consolidated financial statements related to discontinued operations.
Other information consists of the information included in the Company's annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer (management) are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway for the financial statements of the parent company and International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU for the financial statements of the Group, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or enor, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with law, regulations and generally accepted auditing principles in Norway, including ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not delecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, inlentional ornissions. misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
oblain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concem basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence oblained, whether a material uncertainly exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubl on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Ifwe conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events ina manner that achieves fair presentation .
obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial slatements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned soope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
