Our portfolio companies help their customers utilize their resources in a more sustainable way, and provide techno logy, systems and solutions that make energy from renewable sources increasingly accessible and usable.

Arendals Fossekompani established its own sustainability team in 2020. The team is cross-functional with four members, all of whom work together on strategic improvement projects related to sustai nability. The team is headed by the ESG Director, who forms part of the Executive Management Team reporting directly to the Board of Directors of AFK.

Following the materiality analysis, climate risk analysis, and improved governance and reporting structures, all conducted in 2020, several improvements have been achieved. However, the overall target is to integrate ESG in our daily operating model, both for AFK and our port folio companies.

HIGHLIGHTS OF Q2 2021

Power production in the quarter was around normal levels. Although precipitation in the period was lower than normal, operational pressure remained high due to the high prices in the spot market. Electricity prices rose in the second quarter due to increased transfer capacity abroad, this led to a higher influence from rising electricity prices in Northern Europe in the NO2 price area. Lower reservoir levels in the South of Norway also resulted in rising electricity prices this quarter. The plants operated with no significant interruptions or disruption.

Power generation in the first quarter amounted to 128 GWh (118 GWh). The average spot price in the NO2 price area was EUR/ MWh 48.835 (EUR/MWh 4.468).

AFK Green Energy Development

OFFSHORE WIND

Arendals Fossekompani and Ferd, two of Norway's leading industrial investment companies, have come together to establish the offshore wind company Seagust, which intends to apply for offshore wind acreage in Norway's upcoming licensing round. Seagust is structured as a 50:50 joint venture between AFK and Ferd, with a mandate to become an offshore wind developer with operations domestically and internationally.

AMMONIA

Arendals Fossekompani and Grieg Maritime Group have joined forces to create a world-leading provider of green ammonia. The company is dedicated to developing the next generation green fuels for shipping and transportation. The company builds on extensive first-hand experience: Grieg Maritime Group has more than 60 years of experience in shipping. Arendals Fossekompani has 125 years of experience in industrial developments and green power production.

STORAGE

Energy storage for grid operators, renewable producers and industrials will be in demand during and following the green transition. Smart storage is an enabler for renewables, as it solves problems of volatility and intermittency. The concept has numerous links to Volue, Tekna, Beyonder and EFD Induction.

TRADING

Volatility creates intraday high-speed algo-based opportunities. Storage concept will enable AFK and partners to trade short-term on stored energy. Trading will be done through a to-be established platforn, leveraging Volue components, hence showcasing Volue capabilities.

SOLAR ENERGY

Norsun is a Norwegian solar energy company that manufactures and markets high performance mono-crystalline silicon ingots and wafers for the global solar energy industry. Dedicated to high efficiency n-type wafers, the company is an established supplier to tier-one cell manufacturers. NorSun was established in 2005 by Alf Bjørseth, the well-known founder of REC. A year later, Arendals Fossekompani took an active position in NorSun. Today, AFK holds a 15.7 per cent stake in the company.

BATTERIES

Beyonder, founded in 2016 by its CEO Svein Kvernstuen, develops and produces the next step cells needed in battery technology with high power, fast charging and long lifetime for industry and commercial infrastructure. Utilizing super activated carbon made from residual sawdust from the Norwegian forestry industry, Beyonder is producing battery cells for tomorrow´s green infrastructure. AFK has a 3.9 per cent stake in Beyonder, joining investors such as Equinor Technology Invest, DSD Investering, and Must Invest.

AFK Green Energy Development comprises development of sustainable energy solutions, such as offshore wind, ammonia, storage, trading, solar energy, and batteries.

AFK Property

AFK has various property investments, mainly in the Arendal area. Vindholmen Eiendom AS represents the largest development project, in which the former Vindholmen wharf is being developed for combined residential and commercial use under the name Bryggebyen.

Apartment sales for Bryggebyen's first phase of construction were at a stable good level throughout 2020 and into 2021.

To satisfy the market a decision was made in August 2020 to expand the current build phase by a further 31 apartments. Of the new total of 113 apartments, 95 had been sold at the beginning of August 2021.

Construction is proceeding according to plan, with all the apartments in the expanded phase expected to be ready for occupancy in the fall of 2021.

Transforming an old shipyard area into a new urban residential/ commercial zone is scheduled to take 10-15 years to complete and will create around 500-700 residential units when finished..

AFK Property is the majority owner of this property which comprises an airport as well as an area of 200,000 sqm. The main user of the airport facility is OSM Aviation Academy, which runs a pilot school at the premises. Future plans include establishing a center for drones as well as a hub for electrified aviation.

Gullknapp is located about 15 km north of Arendal. Due to the size of the property, its vicinity to the E18 highway and Arendal Port, and near access to the power grid of both DSO and TSO, it has a huge potential as a future site for battery production, data center and other power-intensive activities and industry. Power levels of several 100 MW are available from the nearby grid.

The commercial property Bedriftsveien 17 has been part of AFK since 2015. The 3,500 sqm building has been completely refurbished and is now fully let to Scanmatic AS on a 25-year bare-house agreement.

Bedriftsveien 17 is located in the middle of the emerging commercial area Krøgenes, 3 km east of down-town Arendal. The area has grown in attractiveness with a new feed-in road to the new E18 highway recently completed.

This property, located along the Skien River, just one kilometer south of downtown Skien, was acquired in 2020. The 4,700 sqm building is fully let to EFD Induction on a 15-year bare-house agreement. As the city of Skien expands, this 12,000 sqm river property will be attractive both for commercial and residential development.

Adjusted for income from a property sale in 2020, EFD Induction's revenues and operating profit in 2021 are expected to be higher than in 2020. .

The Board of Directors emphasises that significant uncertainty is associated with assessments of future circumstances and that the Covid-19 pandemic gives rise to particularly great uncertainty.

The accounting policies for 2020 are described in the Annual Report for 2020. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with EU-approved IFRSs and associated interpretations, as well as the additional Norwegian disclosure requirements pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act and stock exchange regulations and rules, applicable as at 31 December 2020. The same policies have been applied in the preparation of the interim financial statements as at 30 June 2021.

New standards effective from 1 January 2021 have had no material effect on the financial statements.

Note 3 Estimates

Areas involving significant use of estimates include the valuation of companies in the share portfolio and measurement of goodwill/excess values in subsidiaries and associates, and of impairment indicators for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. In the year to date these measurements have not resulted in impairment losses on any assets or cash-generating units.

Individual companies in the Group have utilised government assistance on standard terms in the countries where they are represented. The assistance differs from country to country and is mainly given in the form of direct grants for operations, amounting to approx MNOK 31 in 2020. In 2021 the Group have not received any grants connected to the Covid - 19 pandemic.

In view of the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, the Board of Directors and executive management of AFK have taken strong measures to safeguard employees, partners and customers of the portfolio companies. Measures have also been taken to limit negative financial and operational effects, and to ensure that the companies' liquidity is robust.

Based on the Group's strong financial position, AFK stands firm in the extraordinary situation that the world is currently in as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
