Argeo AS ("Argeo" or "the Company") offers services and technical solutions to the surveying and inspection industry.
The Company is a limited liability incorporated and domiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office is Ravnsborgveien 56, 1395 Hvalstad.
These financial statements have been approved by the Board of Directors and the Chief Executive Officer on 22 March 2021.
The Financial Statements with accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and Norwegian generally accepted accounting principles for smaller companies.
The financial statements has been prepared on the going concern basis.
The financial statements has been prepared on an historical cost basis in Norwegian kroner (NOK).
The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise inApril AS and companies in which inApril has a controlling interest. A controlling interest is normally attained when the Group owns, either directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the shares in the company and is capable of exercising control. There are no minority interests.
The aqcuisition method is applied when accounting for business combinations. Companies which have been bought or sold during the year are consolidated from or until the date on which control is acquired or lost.
Inter-company transactions and balances are eliminated in full in the consolidated financial statement.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared based on the assumption of uniform accounting policies for identical transactions and other events under equal circumstances.
Current assets and liabilities comprise items receivable/due within one year and items related to the inventory cycle assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value.
Cash includes cash at hand and bank. Cash equivalents are short-term liquid investments that can be readily converted into a known amount of cash and are considered to have insignificant risk elements.
Trade receivables are carried at historical cost. Should there be objective evidence of a fall in value, the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of future cash flow is recognized as a loss.
Government grants are recognised where there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attached conditions will be complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as reduction in expense over the periods that the related costs, for which it is intended to compensate, are expensed. When the grant relates to an asset, it is recorded as a reduction of the asset up to the amount that covers the cost price.
Non-current assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. When assets are sold or disposed of, the gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation are derecognized, and any gain or loss on the sale or disposal is recognized in the income statement.
The gross carrying amount of non-current assets is the purchase price, including duties/taxes and direct acquisition costs relating to making the non-current asset ready for use. The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the following periods:
Field equipment 3-7 years
Fixtures, furniture, fittings and office computers 3 years
For field equipment, 3-5 years is used for in-water items, and 7 years for all other equipment.
The depreciation period and method are assessed each year to ensure that the method and period used are in line with the useful life of the non-current asset. The same applies to the scrap value.
Equipment under construction is classified as non-current assets and recognized at the costs incurred in relation to the construction. Equipment under construction is not depreciated until the non-current asset is ready for use.
Investments in subsidiaries are valued at cost in the company accounts. The investments are valued at cost less any impairment losses. An impairment loss is recognised if the impairment is not considered temporary. Impairment losses are reversed if the reason for the impairment loss disappears in a later period.
Development activities involve a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes. Development expenditure is capitalised only if development cost can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable, and the Group intends to and has sufficient resources to complete development and to use or sell the asset. The expenditure capitalised includes the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs that are directly attributable to preparing the asset for its intended use. Other development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Capitalised development is amortized linearly over the ecnomic lifetime. Licenses are depreciated over 10 years.
Leases for which most of the risk and control rests with the other contracting party are classified as operating leases. Lease payments are classified as operating costs and recognized in the income statement over the contract period.
Provisions are recognized when, and only when, the Group has a valid liability (legal or constructive) as a result of events that have taken place and it can be proven probable (more probable than not) that a financial settlement will take place as a result of this liability, and that the size of the amount can be measured reliably. Provisions are reviewed on each balance sheet date and their level reflects the best estimate of the liability. When the effect of time is insignificant, the provisions will be equal to the size of the expense necessary to be free of the liability. When the effect of time is significant, the provisions will be the present value fo the future payments to cover the liability
Contingent liabilities acquired upon the purchase of operations are recognized at fair value even if the liability is not probable. The assessment of probability and fair value is subject to a quarterly review. Changes in the fair value are recognized in the income statement.
Financial instruments are classified as liabilities or equity in accordance with the underlying financial reality. Share capital issued is recognised at the fair value of the cash, or other consideration received. The nominal value of the shares is credited to share capital and the remaining balance is taken to share premium.
Transaction costs relating to an equity transaction are recognized directly in equity. Only transaction cost directly linked to the equity transaction are recognized directly in equity.
The Group recognises revenue when persuasive evidence of a sale arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sales price is fixed or determinable and collection is reasonably assured. The Group defers the unearned component of payments received from customers for which the revenue recognition requirements have not been met.
Revenues from construction contracts are recognised according to the project's stage of completion, provided the outcome of the project can be estimated reliably. When the outcome of the project cannot be estimated reliably, only revenues equal to the project costs that have been incurred are recognise. The total estimated loss on a contract will be reconised in the income statement when the loss has been identified. The stage of completion is calculated as accrued production cost in relation to to expected total production costs. Expected total production costs are estimated based on a combination of experience of numbers, systematic estimation procedures, follow-up of performance measurements and follow up of efficiency measurements and best estimates.
The Group has made contributions to local pension plans. These contributions have been made for all employees. The Group's payments are recognised in the income statement in the period to which the contribution applies. The Group has no further obligations once the contributions have been made.
The tax expense consists of the tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax assets or liabilities are calculated with 22% on all taxable temporary differences as per 31.12.20.
In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for smaller companies, deferred tax asset is not recognized in the balance sheet.
Currency transactions are translated at the rate applicable on the transaction date. Foreign exchange gain/ losses that arise as a result of changes in the exchange rate between the transaction date and the payment date are recognised in the income statement. At the balance sheet date balances not being reflected in NOK are translated to NOK at the rate of exchange applicable.
The preperation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the profit and loss statement, the measurement of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date. Actuals results can differ from these estimates.

To the General Meeting of Argeo AS
We have audited the financial statements of Argeo AS showing a loss of NOK 47 770 in the financial statements of the parent company and profit of NOK 2 005 511 in the financial statements of the group. The financial statements comprise:
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 under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by laws and regulations, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 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.
The Board of Directors (Management) are responsible for the preparation in accordance with law and regulations, including a true and fair view of the financial statements in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, 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.
THE POWER OF BEING UNDERSTOOD AUDIT | TAX | CONSULTING
RSM Norge AS is a member of the RSM netwo rk and trades as RSM. RSM is the trading name used by the members of the RSM netwo rk. Each member of the RSM netwo rk is an independent accounting and consulting firm which practices in its own right. The RSM netwo rk is not itself a separate legal entity in any jurisdiction.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern. The financial statements use the going concern basis of accounting insofar as it is not likely that the enterprise will cease operations.
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 error, 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 laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
For further description of Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements reference is made to https://revisorforeningen.no/revisjonsberetninger
Based on our audit of the financial statements as described above, and control procedures we have considered necessary in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, it is our opinion that management has fulfilled its duty to produce a proper and clearly set out registration and documentation of the Company's accounting information in accordance with the law and bookkeeping standards and practices generally accepted in Norway.
