Listing of 47,206,166 consideration shares issued in connection with the acquisition of HG Group AS and the 50% shares in BKS Holding AS not already owned by HG Group AS

This exemption document (the "Exemption Document") has been prepared by Havyard Group ASA, a Norwegian public limited liability company (Nw. allmennaksjeselskap or ASA) ("Havyard" or the "Company", and together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the "Group"), in connection with the listing (the "Listing") on Oslo Børs, a regulated market being part of Euronext and operated by Oslo Børs ASA (the "Oslo Stock Exchange"), of 47,206,166 new shares in Havyard, each with a par value of NOK 0.05 (the "Consideration Shares"), issued as partial consideration in connection with the Company's acquisition of 100% of the shares in HG Group AS, a Norwegian limited liability company with business registration number 927 197 456 and registered business address at Handelandsvegen 75, 5451 Valen, Kvinnherad, Norway ("HGG"), and the 50% of the shares in BKS Holding AS, a Norwegian limited liability company with business registration number 923 489 576 and registered business address at Sunde industriområde 3, 5450 Sunde i Sunnhordland, Kvinnherad, Norway ("BKS"), not already owned by HGG (together "HG Group") (the "Acquisition").

1 RISK FACTORS

1.1 Introduction

An investment in the Company involves inherent risk. Investors should carefully consider the risk factors and all information contained in this Exemption Document, including the financial information and related notes incorporated by reference hereto. The risks and uncertainties described in this Section 1 are the material known risks and uncertainties faced by the Group as of the date hereof, and represents those risk factors that the Company believes to represent the most material risks for investors. An investment in the Company is suitable only for investors who understand the risks associated with this type of investment and who can afford to lose all or part of their investment.

The risk factors included in this Section 1 are presented in a limited number of categories, where each risk factor is placed in the most appropriate category based on the nature of the risk it represents. The absence of negative past experience associated with a given risk factor does not mean that the risks and uncertainties in that risk factor are not genuine and potential threats, and they should therefore be considered prior to making an investment decision. If any of the following risks were to materialize, either individually, cumulatively or together with other circumstances, it could have a material adverse effect on the Group and/or its business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects, which may cause a decline in the value and trading price of the Shares, resulting in loss of all or part of an investment in the Company's Shares. Additional factors of which the Company is currently unaware, or which it currently deems not to be material risks, may also have corresponding negative effects.

1.2 Risk factors related to the transaction

1.2.1 Integration risk

If the Group is not able to successfully integrate HG Group's business, or if there are delays in integrating the businesses to drive the expected synergies promptly, the anticipated benefits of the acquisition may not be realized fully or at all or may take longer to realize than expected.

1.2.2 Risks related to the performance of the new business resulting from the Acquisition

The Company believes that the acquisition of HG Group will result in certain benefits, including development as a fully integrated service provider for Norwegian onshore/ offshore industry, strengthen a well-diversified product- and market portfolio and utilization of potential synergies between group companies. However, to realize these anticipated benefits, the businesses of the Group and that of HG Group must be successfully integrated. The success of the Acquisition will depend on the Group's ability to realize these anticipated benefits from combining the businesses of Havyard and HG Group. The Group may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition for a variety of reasons, including the following:

  • failure to successfully manage relationships with customers, distributors and suppliers;
  • failure of customers to accept new products or to continue as customers of the Group;
  • revenue attrition in excess of anticipated levels;
  • failure to leverage the increased scale of the combined Company quickly and effectively;
  • potential difficulties integrating and harmonizing financial reporting systems;
  • the loss of key employees;
  • extended costs involved to incorporate the two businesses;

1.3 Risks related to the Group's business and the industry in which it operates

1.3.1 Environmental risks

The Company faces environmental risks, both risks relating to pollution at sites which the Company operates from caused by the Company and its predecessors in the past and risks relating to compliance with existing environmental legislation. The yard site owned by Havyard Leirvik AS has been utilized for industrial purposes for decades, including in periods when the attention to pollution and contamination was lower than it is today. Two sediment analyses of certain limited areas at the seabed at the yard site conducted by Havyard Leirvik AS in 2014 and 2016 show that the sediments contain contaminated compounds and where several of the contaminated compounds found led to a classification of the relevant areas as the highest/most serious condition level. Also certain limited environmental surveys onshore have been performed, which all made findings of contaminated compounds in the group.

Pursuant to existing environmental legislation, environmental authorities may impose the Group not only to monitor and supervise pollution caused by it or at sites operated by it, but also to remove or reduce the effects of any pollution caused by it or at sites operated by it.

Pollution and environmental damage may generally not be fully insurable, and any costs incurred to remove or reduce the effects of any pollution caused by historical operations will not be insurable. Any pollution or environmental damage or any orders against the Group to monitor, supervise, remove and/or reduce pollution could lead to disruptions in the Group's production, limit the Group's ability to utilize its properties as it desires and could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position and/or results of operations.

1.3.2 Demand for maritime technologies

The demand for maritime technologies depends on underlying industries that are vulnerable to external factors outside of the Group's control. In particular, the demand for major reconstruction work of vessels and associated maritime technologies is dependent on the activity within the different industries and segments, which are in turn dependent on factors including, but not limited to, worldwide economic and political conditions, levels of supply and demand, the policies of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC"), advances in exploration and development technology, and the availability and exploitation of alternate fuel sources. The demand for vessels within fisheries and aquaculture is dependent on regulatory frameworks and other factors. A decline in the demand for maritime technologies will have a negative impact on the demand for the Group's products, technologies and services.

1.3.3 Availability of contracts with satisfactory margins

The Group is dependent on successfully competing for, and winning, contracts offering a satisfactory profit margin in order to maintain revenues and profitability. The contracts are entered into in a competitive market where the Group competes on product quality, overall service offering, financing, and price. A deterioration of the Group's ability to deliver competitive products, technologies and services could have a significant adverse effect on the Group's business and results of operations in the future.

1.3.4 Risks of significant market disruptions

Significant disruptions in the world financial markets, changes in regulations, and factors contributing to instability in financial and commercial markets such as war, military tension and terrorist attacks, political and economic instability or other similar factors could have a negative effect on the Group's business and results of operations in the future.

1.3.5 Margin pressure, cost overruns and delays

The products and services offered by the Group are characterized by complex projects with a high technological content and highly customized orders. When entering into contracts, the Group has risks on its margin between the agreed fixed price of the finished product or service, and the costs involved in completing such product or service. In particular, when performing major reconstruction work or customized work, there is an element of uncertainty involved in the cost or time involved in such construction which may have a significant adverse effect on the Group's results of operations.

1.3.6 Contractual risks

In addition to the contractual risk elements described throughout this Section 1, there is a risk of contracts being terminated by the Group's clients. The contractual regulation of the client's right to terminate is in accordance with industry practice. In case of termination for default, the Group will be liable for the costs incurred prior to termination in addition to its own loss of profit. Further, the Group generally seeks to limit the overall liability for breach of contract. The majority of the Group's contracts include a provision on limitation of liability, but this is not achievable in all contract negotiations. A rightful claim for breach of contract could have a significant adverse effect on the Group's business and results of operations in the future.

1.3.7 Dependence of external suppliers

The Group makes use of third party suppliers, manufacturers and service providers, some of which (including the Turkish hull manufacturer Cemre) have been important long term providers. The Group does not, however, view its ability to operate as dependent on any specific such provider and believes that the potential inability of any such provider to provide products or services to the Group would not have a material effect on the Group as other suppliers could be found. A failure by one or more of these third parties to satisfactorily provide the agreed equipment or services on time may have an adverse impact on the Group's ability to perform its obligations under building contracts. These risks could result in reduced revenue or, in some cases, significant losses for the Group, which would have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position and/or results of operations.

1.3.8 Guarantee claims and performance guarantees

When supplying maritime technologies, the Group provides a functionality guarantee for the product for a specified period of time after delivery. The Group makes allocation for such guarantees in its accounts. There can be no assurance, however, that the allocations made will be sufficient to meet all potential guarantee claims, and a rightful claim could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position.

1.3.9 Counterparty risks

By the nature of the business in maritime construction, the Group receives payments from its clients in accordance with agreed milestones where a significant part of the payment will be made upon delivery of the product. If at such time the client is unable or unwilling to make payment, the Group will be exposed to the value of the product and may not be able to earn the contracted revenue under the contract. Although the Group seeks to mitigate such risk by contracting with financially sound counterparties, there could be situations where a failure by clients to make payments could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position and/or results of operations.

1.3.10 Abuse of intellectual property

A part of the Group's revenues is derived from the sale of products, technologies and services with important elements of intellectual property rights (IPR) developed by the Group. The Group's strategy for IPR protection has so far not included registration of such IPR, as the Group has relied on offering clients and attractive combination of design and associated expertise at competitive prices and also to some extent on the protection given under the Norwegian Marketing Practices Act and similar foreign legislation. Still, there is always a risk that the Group's IPR may be abused in a manner which could have a material adverse effect on the Group's competitive position and

hence on its results of operations in the future. Furthermore, the Group may be faced with allegations of third party IPR infringements performed by the Group.

1.3.11 Risk of accidents, injury and damage to property

The Group is involved in business activities which could lead to accidents, injury to personnel, and damage to property, despite of the focus on safety. If such accidents, injury or damage were to occur, there may be risk that insurance will not adequately cover the responsibility of the Group. Any such claim could have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial position and/or results of operations.

1.3.12 Availability of adequate insurance

The Group has procured adequate insurance coverage for its operation risks in line with market practice, including, but not limited to, insurance for personnel, property and liability. The Group's insurance policies and contractual rights to indemnity may not adequately cover the Group's losses, or may have exclusions of coverage for some losses. In line with industry practice, the Group does not have insurance coverage or rights to indemnity for all kinds of risks. If a significant accident or other event occurs which is not fully covered by insurance or contractual indemnity, it could adversely affect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Group.

1.3.13 Availability of key personnel

The Group's ability to continue to attract, retain and motivate key personnel, and other senior members of the management team and experienced personnel will have an impact on the Company's operations. The market demand for skilled personnel is high, and the loss of the services of one or more of these individuals without adequate replacements or the inability to attract new qualified personnel at a reasonable cost could have a material adverse effect. If competition for qualified personnel were to intensify in the future, the Group may experience increases in costs or limits on operations.

1.4 Risks related to the shares

1.4.1 The market price of the Shares may fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors

The share price of publicly traded companies can be highly volatile. The price at which the Shares may be quoted and the price which shareholders may realise for their Shares will be influenced by a large number of factors, some specific to the Group and its operations and some which may affect the industry as a whole or stock exchange listed companies generally. These factors include those referred to in this Section 1 "Risk Factors", as well as the Group's financial performance, the impact of shareholders being released from lock-in restrictions, stock market fluctuations and general economic conditions. Share price volatility arising from such factors may adversely affect the value of an investment in the Shares. The market price of the Shares may not reflect the underlying value of the Group's net assets.

The trading price of the Shares could fluctuate significantly in response to a number of factors beyond the Group's control, including, but not limited to, quarterly variations in operating results, adverse business developments, changes in financial estimates and investment recommendations or ratings by securities analysts, or any other risk discussed herein materializing or the anticipation of such risk materializing.

In recent years, the global stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant impact on the market price of securities issued by many companies. Those changes may occur without regard to the operating performance of these companies. The price of the Company's Shares may therefore fluctuate based upon factors that have little or nothing to do with the Group, and these fluctuations may materially affect the price of its Shares.

1.4.2 Future sales of Shares by the Company's major shareholders or any of its primary insiders may depress the price of the Shares

The market price of the Shares could decline as a result of sales of a large number of Shares in the market or the perception that such sales could occur, or any sale of Shares by any of the Company's major shareholders or primary insiders from time to time. Such sales, or the possibility that such sales may occur, might also make it more difficult for the Company to issue or sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price it deems appropriate.

1.4.3 Shareholders may not be able to exercise their voting rights for Shares registered in a nominee account

Beneficial owners of the Shares that are registered in a nominee account or otherwise through a nominee arrangement (such as through brokers, dealers or other third parties)may not be able to exercise voting rights and other shareholder rights as readily as shareholders whose Shares are registered in their own names with the VPS prior to the Company's General Meetings. The Company cannot guarantee that beneficial owners of the Shares will receive the notice for a general meeting in time to instruct their nominees to either effect a re-registration of their Shares or otherwise vote their Shares in the manner desired by such beneficial owners. Any persons that hold their shares through a nominee arrangement should consult with the nominee to ensure that any Shares beneficially held are voted in the manner desired by such beneficial owner.

1.4.4 Dilution

Shareholders not participating in future share issues may be diluted. Should the Company decide on an issue of securities with preferential rights for existing shareholders, such rights may not be available for shareholders in the U.S. and in any other jurisdictions where delivery of such rights may be restricted or be subject to registration filings or similar. Should such rights not be available for shareholders, these shareholders will not be able to realise any potential profits on subscription rights or preferential allocation rights, and these shareholders may be diluted as a result. The Company may in the future issue warrants and/or options to subscribe for Shares, including (without limitation) to certain advisers, employees, directors, senior management and consultants. The exercise of such warrants and/or options would result in dilution of the shareholdings of other investors.

1.4.5 Limitations on the ability to make claims against the Company

The Company is a Norwegian public company limited by shares organised under the laws of Norway. The Company's directors and executive officers are residents of Norway. As a result, it may be difficult for investors in other jurisdictions to affect service of process upon the Company, its affiliates or its directors and executive officers in such other jurisdictions or to enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions against the Company, its affiliates or its directors and executive officers.

1.4.6 The Company's investors outside of Norway are subject to exchange rate risk

The Shares are traded in NOK and any investor outside of Norway, who wishes to invest in the Shares, or to sell Shares, will be subject to an exchange rate risk which may cause additional costs to the investor.

1.5 Risks related to the Group's financial situation

1.5.1 General financial risk

The Group's primary sources of liquidity in addition to operational cash flows are equity capital and debt financing. The Group monitors and manages the financial risks related to the operations of the Group through internal reports and analyses. However, the Group is exposed to various risks such as market risk (including currency risk, fair value interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk, and no assurances can be given that the monitoring of such risks will be adequate or sufficient.

1.5.2 Availability of funding

.

The Group is dependent upon having access to short term funding. There can be no assurance that the Group may not experience net cash flow shortfalls exceeding the Group's available funding sources nor can there be any assurance that the Group will be able to raise new equity, or arrange new borrowing facilities, on favourable terms and in amounts necessary to conduct its ongoing and future operations, should this be required.

1.5.3 Market risk management and foreign currency risk management

NOK is the functional currency of the Company and all its subsidiaries. The Group is exposed to foreign currency risks related to its operations. The Group's cash-flows are primarily in NOK and EUR. As such, the Group's earnings are exposed to fluctuations in the foreign currency market for NOK in relation to EUR. To mitigate this risk, the Company implements hedging arrangements for major cash-flows in foreign currency where instruments like forward contracts are used to hedge the exchange rate risk. Contracts are entered into when treasury finds it in line with the overall currency risk strategy.

3 GENERAL INFORMATION

This Section provides general information on the presentation of financial and other information, as well as the use of forward-looking statements, in this Exemption Document. You should read this information carefully before continuing.

3.1 Cautionary Note regarding Forward-looking Statements

This Exemption Document includes forward-looking statements that reflect the Company's current views with respect to future events and financial and operational performance. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as the terms "anticipates", "assumes", "believes", "can", "could", "estimates", "expects", "forecasts", "intends", "may", "might", "plans", "projects", "should", "will", "would" or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements are not historic facts. They appear, among other areas, in Section 5 "Business overview – the Group", and include statements regarding the Company's intentions, beliefs or current expectations concerning, among other things, financial strength and position of the Group, operating results, liquidity, prospects, growth, the implementation of strategic initiatives, as well as other statements relating to the Group's future business development and financial performance, and the industry in which the Group operates, such as, but not limited to, statements relating to:

  • the Group's strategy, outlook and growth prospects;
  • the Group's operational and financial objectives, including statements as to the Company's medium or long-term growth, margin, and dividend policy;
  • the competitive nature of the business in which the Group operates and the competitive pressure and competitive environment in general;
  • earnings, cash flow, dividends and other expected financial results and conditions;
  • the expected growth and other developments of the industries which the Group operates;
  • the Group's planned investments;
  • forecasts; and
  • the Group's liquidity, capital resources, capital expenditures, and access to funding.

Prospective investors in the Shares are cautioned that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and that the Group's actual financial position, operating results and liquidity, and the development of the industry in which the Group operates, may differ materially from those made in, or suggested, by the forwardlooking statements contained in this Exemption Document. The Company cannot guarantee that the intentions, beliefs or current expectations upon which its forward-looking statements are based will occur.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve, and are subject to, known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions as they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Because of these known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the outcome may differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements.

The risks that are currently known to the Company and which could affect the Group's future results and could cause results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements are discussed in Section 1 "Risk Factors".

The information contained in this Exemption Document identifies additional factors that could affect the Group's financial position, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and performance. Prospective investors in the Shares are urged to read all Sections of this Exemption Document for a more complete discussion of the factors that could affect the Group's future performance and the industry in which the Group operates when considering an investment in the Company.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or publicly revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or to persons acting on the Company's behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements referred to above and contained elsewhere in this Exemption Document.

3.2 Presentation of Financial Information

3.2.1 Historical financial information related to Havyard

The Company has published consolidated audited financial statements as of and for the year ended 31 December 2021 with comparable numbers for 2020 (the "Havyard Financial Statements") and an unaudited interim financial report for the six month period ended 30 June 2022 (the "Havyard Interim Report"). The Havyard Financial Statements and Havyard Interim Report are incorporated into this Exemption Document by reference, see Section 8.4 "Incorporated by reference".

The Havyard Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and have been audited by the Company's independent auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers AS.

The Acquisition (as elaborated in Section 4 "The Acquisition") was completed on 29 June 2022. The Havyard Interim Report reflects the combined group's financial position as per 30 June 2022, and the Acquisition will be fully consolidated into the Company's annual report for the full year ending on 31 December 2022. The financial information of the combined Company going forward will be prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Havyard Production sp.z.o.o. ("HP"), which is a Polish company owned 50% by Hayvard, has received an audit opinion that indicates that there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on HP's ability to continue as a going concern as the company is dependent on entering into future contracts in order to continue its operations. Furthermore, the company's activity has been reduced during the Covid-19 pandemic. Havyard Production sp.z.o.o. was a wholly owned company of Havyard until January 2022 when 50% of the shares were disposed of. The uncertainty related to going concern is not considered material for the Havyard Financial Statements.

5.2 Overview of the combined Group's business and markets

5.2.1 Principal activities - Havyard

Following a significant reorganization in 2021, Havyard was transformed from a broad supplier of maritime equipment and services to a specialized provider of rebuilding services, with the majority of its business being related to the Havyard Leirvik shipyard. As part of the reorganization, Havyard completed a spin-off of several subsidiaries into the separately listed company Hav Group ASA.

Havyard's ownership in Hav Group ASA has been reduced by means of dividends and currently amounts to approximately 4.7%. These shares are regarded as a financial holding.

The Havyard Leirvik shipyard has traditionally been used as a newbuilding yard, but was reorganized into a rebuilding- and service yard in 2021. The reorganization was done in response to market conditions and to reduce the risks and capital intensity of the ship newbuilding market. One consequence of the change process was a reduction in the number of employees by more than 50% compared to previous setup, currently at approximately 70 full-time employees.

The change in business activity also impacts the turnover and order book. As a rebuilding- and service yard, Havyard Leirvik faces contracts that are smaller than newbuilding contracts, and with shorter lead time.

The Havyard Leirvik yard, originally founded in 1918, is well situated on the Norwegian west coast (Leirvik, Sogn), approximately twohours from Bergen. The shipyard is well adapted to convert, repair and maintain any type of vessel in a fully covered drydock allowing for services independent of weather. Solid project control, high flexibility and a top qualified workforce enable the shipyard to deliver all types of services with high quality, on-time deliveries and at competitive terms.

Havyard Leirvik performs a wide range of services from smaller maintenance and repair jobs to large conversions and construction work. The shipyard has a long track record of building a large variety of types of vessels also including installation of fully electric propulsion systems. Havyard Leirvik has its own resources combined with subcontractors' skills and capacities to handle most types of services required by the maritime industry.

The yard has a total of 98,000 sq.m. yard area, with 220 m of outfitting quay, a 130x20x5m built-in dry dock and adequate crane arrangements, warehouses and blasting hall. Multiple projects can be run in parallel. It has capacity for up to 600 operators.

5.2.2 Principal activities – BKS

BKS was founded in 2008 under the name Bergen Konsulent Service AS and was tied to personnel hire and services towards heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) and construction industry. In 2011 more owners came in, and they expanded to several industry segments.

BKS has its main office at Sunde in the municipality of Kvinnherad, with a branch office located in Bergen. BKS has production halls at Sunde in Kvinnherad and in Bergen.

BKS has a goal to be a preferred and competitive supplier and partner to the maritime, offshore and land-based industry in Norway. BKS takes on a wide range of tasks, from simple missions to more complex total deliveries.

BKS is divided into four divisions, each a separate business, respectively "Industri", "Service", "Montering" and "VVS & Ventilasjon". All are gathered under BKS, which has common functions within HR, accounting and payroll.

BKS has around 250 employees, of which 16 are project managers and supervisors and 3 engineers. BKS supplies engineering services in terms of projecting, calculations and constructions. Around 75 percent of the workforce are skilled and have at least one certificate. 18 employees have offshore experience and required courses.

BKS has an established and well-functioning QHSE system and performs regular audit as well as certification and training of personnel. BKS is fully updated in terms of required standards and procedures and provides required documentation of all its installations. BKS has necessary certifications and qualifications to perform the work and installations in a broad scope of segments.

5.2.3 Principal activities – Fossberg Kraft (subsidiary of HGG)

Fossberg Kraft was established in 2018 and has its main office at Handeland Gard in the municipality of Kvinnherad. The company is an operator, developer and owner of small scale hydroelectric power plants. The company was founded by a small team of employees with long experience from construction of power plants, with a focus on seeking effective and cost efficient solutions with minimal footprint on nature.

Since its formation, Fossberg Kraft has developed two projects (Ljotå in the municipality of Bjørnafjorden and Svandalen in the municipality of Sauda). Three more projects are under construction in the municipalities of Drangedal and Sirdal, with expected completion in second half 2022 and first half 2023.

In addition to its projects under ownership, Fossberg Kraft also serves as an operator for five hydroelectric power plants owned by a third party, Bagnall Energy Limited. These plants were developed by Fossberg Kraft and sold as a financial transaction.

5.2.4 Principal markets

Havyard is a provider of service- and maintenance assignments to the Norwegian land based- and off-shore industry. The Group is after the Acquisition split in two business areas: - Maritime services and Products, solutions & renewables.

The activities in Maritime services include the yard activities in Leirvik, but can also include relevant deliveries in partnership with BKS. The majority of customers are per today in the maritime sector.

Products, solutions & renewables include deliveries from BKS and Fossberg Kraft. Customers are both maritimeand other industry. A pro-forma breakdown of the revenues per business area in 2021 is set out below (all revenues are earned in Norway):

Maritime Services: NOK 910 million

Products and Services : NOK 366 million

5.2.5 Markets and profile of the combined Group

The goal for the combined Group is to become a strong and independent provider of a broad range of services to the maritime, offshore, and land-based industries, with a geographic target on the western coast of Norway. The boards of the combining companies believe that the Group companies have complementary strengths and resources that can, if well-coordinated, result in a stronger combined entity than the sum of the individual companies.

In particular, the combined Group believes that its broadened service offering will be beneficial to meet clients' demands within the maritime sector, within the power sector (both offshore, hydroelectric, and other green energy requirements), within the aquaculture sector and towards process industry, all of which are strong industries in the geographical regions being targeted.

The combined Group believes that its service offering provides strong opportunities for organic growth, in light of strong macroeconomic drivers for the industries served. In addition, the combined Group intends to take an opportunistic approach to additional business combinations that can provide stronger industry or sector coverage.

5.3 Investments

Neither Havyard nor HG Group have made any material investment decisions since 31 December 2021 other than Hayvard's decision to carry out the Acquisition.

APPENDIX B INDEPENDENT PRACTICIONER'S ASSURANCE REPORT ON PRO-FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

To the Board of Directors of Havyard Group ASA

Report on the compilation of pro forma financial information included in an exempted document

We have completed our assurance engagement to report on the compilation of the pro forma financial information of Havyard Group ASA (the 'Company') as set out in section 6 in the exempted document issued by the Board of Directors of Havyard Group ASA (the 'Directors'). The pro forma financial information consists of the unaudited pro forma balance sheet as at 31 December 2021, the unaudited pro forma income statement for the year ended 31 December 2021, and related unaudited notes hereto. The applicable criteria on the basis of which the Directors have compiled the pro forma financial information are specified in Annex 20 to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980 supplemented by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/528 as described in the notes to the beforementioned pro forma financial information (the 'applicable criteria').

The pro forma financial information has been compiled by the Directors to illustrate the impact of the transactions described in the beformentioned pro forma financial information (the "Transactions") on the Company's financial position as at 31 December 2021 as if the Transactions had taken place at 31 December 2021, and its financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2021 as if the Transactions had taken place at 1 January 2021. As part of this process, information about the Company's and the acquired entities' financial position and financial performance has been extracted by the Directors from the Company's audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021 and from the acquired entities' audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021.

Our Independence and Quality Control

We are independent of the Company as required by laws and regulations and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' Code of International Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.

Our firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 and accordingly maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Directors' responsibility for the pro forma financial information

The Directors are responsible for compiling the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria.

Practitioner's responsibilities

Our responsibility is to express an opinion, as required by section 3 of Annex 20 to the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/980, supplemented by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU)

2021/528, about whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the Directors on the basis of the applicable criteria.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance engagements to report on the compilation of pro forma financial information included in a prospectus, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the practitioner comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Directors have compiled, in all material respects, the pro forma financial information on the basis of the applicable criteria and whether this basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company described in the notes of the unaudited pro forma financial information.

Our work primarily consisted of comparing the unadjusted financial information with the source documents as described in the notes of the unaudited pro forma financial information, considering the evidence supporting the adjustments and discussing the pro forma financial information with the Directors of the Company.

The aforementioned opinion does not require an audit of historical unadjusted financial information, the adjustments to conform the accounting policies of the acquired entity to the accounting policies of the Company, or the assumptions summarized in the notes of the unaudited pro forma financial information.For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any historical financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the financial information used in compiling the pro forma financial information.

The purpose of pro forma financial information included in an exempted document is solely to illustrate the impact of a significant event or transaction on unadjusted financial information of the entity as if the event had occurred or the transaction had been undertaken at an earlier date selected for purposes of the illustration. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the event or transaction for the year ended 31 December 2021 would have been as presented.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the pro forma financial information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the applicable criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the applicable criteria used by the Directors in the compilation of the pro forma financial information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the event or transaction, and obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

  • the related unaudited pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those criteria; and
  • the unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the proper application of those adjustments to the unadjusted financial information.
  • the unaudited pro forma financial information has been compiled on a basis consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.

The procedures selected depend on the practitioner's judgment, having regard to the practitioner's understanding of the nature of the company, the event or transaction in respect of which the pro forma financial information has been compiled, and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the pro forma financial information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion

  • the pro forma financial information has been properly compiled on the basis stated in note 1 in the unaudited pro forma financial information; and
  • such basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company

Distribution and use

This report is issued for the sole purpose of showing how the Transactions might have affected the Company's consolidated statement of financial position and the Company's consolidated statement of income in connection with the acquisition by the Company of all of the shares in HG Group AS and the remaining shares in BKS Holding AS, and the related preparation of an exempted document by the Company (together, the" Transaction"). The exempted document is prepared in accordance with Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/528 supplementing Regulation (EU) 2017/1129, and other applicable regulations and interpretations (the "Exempted Document"). Our work has not been carried out in accordance with auditing, assurance or other standards and practices generally accepted in the United States and accordingly should not be used or relied upon as it had been carried out in accordance with those standard practices. Therefore, this report is not appropriate in other jurisdictions and should not be used or relied upon for any purpose other than for this Exempted Document as described above. We accept no duty or responsibility to and deny any liability to any party in respect of any use of, or reliance upon, this report in connection with any other transactions than the Transactions.

Regnskapsprinsipper

Årsregnskapet er satt opp i samsvar med regnskapsloven og NRS 8 - God regnskapsskikk for små foretak.

SKATT

Skattekostnaden i resultatregnskapet omfatter både periodens betalbare skatt og endring i utsatt skatt. Utsatt skatt er beregnet med 22 % på grunnlag av de midlertidige forskjeller som eksisterer mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier, samt ligningsmessig underskudd til fremføring ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Skatteøkende og skattereduserende midlertidige forskjeller som reverserer eller kan reverseres i samme periode er utlignet og nettoført.

KLASSIFISERING OG VURDERING AV OMLØPSMIDLER

Omløpsmidler og kortsiktig gjeld omfatter normalt poster som forfaller til betaling innen ett år etter balansedagen, samt poster som knytter seg til varekretsløpet. Omløpsmidler vurderes til laveste verdi av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi.

AKSJER I DATTERSELSKAP

Datterselskap vurderes etter kostmetoden i selskapsregnskapet. Investeringen er vurdert til anskaffelseskost for aksjene med mindre nedskrivning har vært nødvendig. Det er foretatt nedskrivning til virkelig verdi når verdifall skyldes årsaker som ikke kan forventes å være forbigående og det må anses nødvendig etter god regnskapsskikk. Nedskrivninger er reversert når grunnlaget for nedskrivning ikke lenger er til stede.

Utbytte, konsernbidrag og andre utdelinger fra datterselskap er inntektsført samme år som det er avsatt i givers regnskap. Overstiger utbytte / konsernbidraget andelen av opptjent resultat etter anskaffelsestidspunktet, representerer den overskytende del tilbakebetaling av investert kapital, og utdelingene er fratrukket investeringens verdi i balansen til morselskapet.

FORDRINGER

Kundefordringer og andre fordringer oppføres til pålydende etter fradrag for avsetning til forventet tap. Avsetning til tap gjøres på grunnlag av en individuell vurdering av de enkelte fordringene.

Note 1 Lønnskostnader

HG Group AS har ikke hatt lønns- eller personalkostnader i 2021og det foreligger heller ingen slike forpliktelser.

Revisor

Selskapet har inngått avtale med KPMG AS om revisjon. Kostnadsført revisjonshonorar for 2021 utgjør kr 37 500 ink.mva. I tillegg kommer honorar for andre tjenester med kr 105 875 ink.mva.

Til generalforsamlingen i HG Group AS

Uavhengig revisors beretning

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert HG Group AS' årsregnskap som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • · oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav,
  • gir årsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021, og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Styrets og daglig leders ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlige for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik internkontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter ell, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg:

• identifiserer og vurderer vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i regnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir

KPMG AS, a Norwegian limited liability company and member of independent member firms affiliated
with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity.

Offices in

avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes utilsiktede feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av internkontroll.

  • opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontroll som er relevant for revisjonen, for å utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets interne kontroll.
  • evaluerer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige.
  • . konkluderer vi på hensiktsmessigheten av ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen ved avleggelsen av årsregnskapet, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, og hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det eksisterer vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i årsregnskapet, eller, dersom slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, at vi modifiserer vår konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet inntil datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapet ikke fortsetter driften.
  • evaluerer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet i årsregnskapet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet gir uttrykk for de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde.

Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen og til hvilken tid revisjonsarbeidet skal utføres. Vi utveksler også informasjon om forhold av betydning som vi har avdekket i løpet av revisjonen, herunder om eventuelle svakheter av betydning i den interne kontrollen.

Utfyllende redegjørelse for årsregnskapet

Konsernets omsetning for 2021 ble 313,5 mill. kroner, en økning på 45,1 mill. kroner (16%) sammenlignet med tilsvarende tall for 2020. Konsernets driftsresultat ble kr 6,3 mill. kroner, noe som er 3,5 mill. kroner (35%) lavere enn forrige år. Resultat før skattekostnad endte på 3,8 mill. kroner, en reduksjon på 3,2 mill. kroner fra 2020. Coronapandemien har påvirket konsernets økonomiske resultater i 2021 negativt i hovedsak som følge av mangel på personell som følge av innreisekarantene samt direkte kostnader knyttet til innreisekarantene

m.v. Styret kjenner ikke til noen forhold av viktighet for å bedømme selskapets stilling og resultat som ikke fremgår av regnskapet og balansen med noter.

Hendelser etter balansedagen

Det har ikke inntruffet hendelser etter balansedagen som har vesentlig innvirkning på selskapets årsregnskap for 2021.

Framtidsutsikter

Selskapet forventer fortsatt vekst innenfor sitt virksomhetsområde.

Finansiell risiko

Selskapet driver virksomhet der en på generell basis er eksponert mot prosjekt- og motpartsrisiko. Selskapet vurderer at det har gode interne rutiner og at risikoen er innenfor det som er normalt for denne type virksomhet. Konsernet er kun i begrenset grad eksponert for rente- og valutarisiko.

Det er ikke tegnet forsikring for styrets medlemmer og daglig leder for deres mulige ansvar overfor foretaket og tredjepersoner.

Styret vurderer at fremtidsmulighetene er gode og at de gjennomførte strukturendringer og utvikling de siste årene ytterligere vil styrke konsernets posisjon.

Uavhengig revisors beretning

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert BKS Holding AS' årsregnskap som viser et overskudd i selskapsregnskapet på kr 1 511 012 og et overskudd i konsernregnskapet på kr 2 657 944. Årsregnskapet består av:

  • selskapsregnskapet, som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap og kontantstrømoppstilling for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper, og
  • konsernregnskapet, som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap og kontantstrømoppstilling for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav,
  • gir selskapsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021 og av dets resultater og kontantstrømmer for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge, og
  • gir konsernregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av konsernets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021 og av dets resultater og kontantstrømmer for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet og konsernet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Øvrig informasjon

Styret (ledelsen) er ansvarlig for informasjonen i årsberetningen. Øvrig informasjon omfatter informasjon i årsrapporten bortsett fra årsregnskapet og den tilhørende revisjonsberetningen. Vår konklusjon om årsregnskapet ovenfor dekker ikke informasjonen i årsberetningen.

I forbindelse med revisjonen av årsregnskapet er det vår oppgave å lese årsberetningen. Formålet er å vurdere hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig inkonsistens mellom årsberetningen og årsregnskapet og den kunnskap vi har opparbeidet oss under revisjonen av årsregnskapet, eller hvorvidt informasjon i årsberetningen ellers fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har plikt til å rapportere dersom årsberetningen fremstår som vesentlig feil. Vi har ingenting å rapportere i så henseende.

THE POWER OF BEING UNDERSTOOD AUDIT | TAX | CONSULTING

RSM Norge AS is a member of the RSM network and trades as RSM. RSM is the trading name used by the members of the RSM network. Each member of the RSM network is an independent accounting and consulting firm which practices in its own right. The RSM network is not itself a separate legal entity in any jurisdiction.

Basert på kunnskapen vi har opparbeidet oss i revisjonen, mener vi at årsberetningen

  • er konsistent med årsregnskapet og
  • inneholder de opplysninger som skal gis i henhold til gjeldende lovkrav.

Ledelsens ansvar for årsregnskapet

Ledelsen er ansvarlig for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet er ledelsen ansvarlig for å ta standpunkt til selskapets og konsernets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for årsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Note 1 Regnskapsprinsipper

Dette årsregnskapet består av resultatregnskap, balanse, kontantstrømopstilling, og endring i egenkapital for Fossberg Kraft konsern ("Konsernet"). Konsernets morselskap Fossberg Kraft AS er et aksjeselskap, med hovedkontor i Handelandsvegen 75, 5451 Valen. Konsernets kjernevirksomhet er utvikling og drift av småkraftverk.

Konsernet består av følgende selskaper : Fossberg Kraft AS, AS Egelands Verk, Skjeggfoss Kraftverk AS og Svandalen Kraftverk AS.

Årsregnskapet er utarbeidet i samsvar med "International Financial Reporting Standards "(IFRS) som er godkjent av EU. Årsregnskapet er avlagt under forutsetningen om fortsatt drift.

Konsernet utarbeidet konsernregnskap etter IFRS for første gang pr. 31.12.2020.

De enkelte selskapene i konsernet avlegger selskapsregnskapsstandarder (NGAAP). Disse er grunnlag for konsernregnskapet.

Regnskapsprinsipper

Regnskapsprinsipper som relaterer seg til årsregnskapet i sin helhet er angitt nedenfor, mens prinsipper som anvendes på spesifikke områder omtales i de respektive notene. Regnskapsprinsippene er konsistente i alle presenterte perioder.

Ledelsen anser følgende som de viktigste regnskapsprinsipper for årsregnskapet:

  • Anvendelse av IAS 16 eiendom, anlegg og utstyr der to kraftverk i datterselskap AS Egelands Verk er vurdert til virkelig verdi
  • Anvendelse av IAS 40 investeringseiendom' virkelig verdi modell for eiendommer i datterselskap AS Egelands Verk

Viktige regnskapsestimater og skjønnsmessige vurderinger

Utarbeidelsen av selskapsregnskapet i samsvar med IFRS krever at ledelsen benytter estimater som påvirker rapporterte inntekter, kostnader og forpliktelser. Estimater og forutsetninger som er lagt til grunn er basert på historisk erfaring og andre faktorer som vurderes å være relevante for estimatet på balansedagen. Estimatene kan avvike fra faktiske reultater. Endringer i regnskapsmessige estimater vurderes løpende, og føres prospektivt.

Hovedpostene hvor estimater vil ha stor innvirkning på regnskapsførte verdier vedrører:

  • Virkelig verdi av anleggsmidler (kraftverk) i AS Egelands Verk. Markedsverdi av kraftverk beregnes basert på en modell der kraftverkenes parametre mtp. kapasitet, fallrettsavtale parametre. Fremtidige strømpriser er basert på forwardkurver fra anerkjente leverandører av denne type markedsdata.

  • Virkelig verdi av investeringseiendommer i AS Egelands Verk. Investeringseiendommer er verdsatt basert på vurdering fra ekstern og uavhengig eiendomsmegler. Omsetning av tilsvarende eiendommer, prisnivå i området og generell prisutvikling ligger til grunn for vurderingene.

Vesentlighet

Ledelsen oppgir spesifikke opplysninger som kreves av IFRS, med mindres uvesentlig eller ikke aktuell for brukerne av årsregnskapet. I årsregnskapet har verdiene blitt avrundet til nærmeste tusen, dersom ikke annet er angitt. Som en effekt av avrundingsforskjeller vil ikke verdiene utelukkende summere til totalen.

Note 11 Kapitalstyring og styring av risikofaktorer

Kapitaltilgang og utnyttelse

Kapitalforvaltning omhandler prosessen rundt å anskaffe og utnytte kapital på den mest effektive måten, gitt tilgjengelige alternativ. Fossberg KraftAS ("Selskapet") sikrer tilstrekkelig tilgang på kapital som bidrar til tilfredstillende drift og høye aksjonærverdier. Tilgang til fremmedkapital overvåkes løpende og selskapet har en løpende dialog med långiverne.

Selskapets strategi er å opprettholde en solid egenkapital, for å sikre tillit fra investorer og kreditorer, samt å opprettholde fremtidig utvikling av virksomheten. Ledelsen overvåker avkastning på investert kapital, samt utbytte til ordinære askjonærer. Note 9 utdyper detaljene rundt og forfall på lån.

Styret ønsker å opprettholde en balanse mellom høy avkastning og sikkerheten som gis av en solid egenkapital. Når ønsket nivå for rentebærende gjeld nås, vil en betydelig andel av selskapets resultat bli utdelt som utbytte.

Note 12 Investeringseiendommer

Til generalforsamlingen i Fossberg Kraft AS

Uavhengig revisors beretning

Konklusjon

Vi har revidert Fossberg Kraft AS' årsregnskap, som består av:

  • selskapsregnskapet, som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper, og
  • · konsernregnskapet, som består av balanse per 31. desember 2021, resultatregnskap, oppstilling over endringer i egenkapital og kontantstrømoppstilling for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen og noter til årsregnskapet, herunder et sammendrag av viktige regnskapsprinsipper.

Etter vår mening

  • · oppfyller årsregnskapet gjeldende lovkrav,
  • gir selskapsregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av selskapets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021 og av dets resultater for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge, og
  • · gir konsernregnskapet et rettvisende bilde av konsernets finansielle stilling per 31. desember 2021 og av dets resultater og kontantstrømmer for regnskapsåret avsluttet per denne datoen i samsvar med International Financial Reporting Standards som fastsatt av EU.

Grunnlag for konklusjonen

Vi har gjennomført revisjonen i samsvar med de internasjonale revisjonsstandardene International Standards on Auditing (ISA-ene). Våre oppgaver og plikter i henhold til disse standardene er beskrevet nedenfor under Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet. Vi er uavhengige av selskapet og konsernet slik det kreves i lov, forskrift og International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (inkludert internasjonale uavhengighetsstandarder) utstedt av the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA-reglene), og vi har overholdt våre øvrige etiske forpliktelser i samsvar med disse kravene. Innhentet revisjonsbevis er etter vår vurdering tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Styrets og daglig leders ansvar for årsregnskapet

Styret og daglig leder (ledelsen) er ansvarlige for å utarbeide årsregnskapet og for at det gir et rettvisende bilde, for selskapsregnskapet i samsvar med regnskapslovens regler og god regnskapsskikk i Norge, og for konsernregnskapet i samsvar med International Financial Reporting Standards som fastsatt av EU. Ledelsen er også ansvarlig for slik intern kontroll som den finner nødvendig for å kunne utarbeide et årsregnskap som ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil.

Ved utarbeidelsen av årsregnskapet må ledelsen ta standpunkt til selskapets og konsernets evne til fortsatt drift og opplyse om forhold av betydning for fortsatt drift. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for selskapsregnskapet så lenge det ikke er sannsynlig at virksomheten vil bli avviklet. Forutsetningen om fortsatt drift skal legges til grunn for konsernregnskapet med mindre ledelsen enten har til hensikt å avvikle konsernet eller legge ned virksomheten, eller ikke har noe realistisk alternativ til dette.

Revisors oppgaver og plikter ved revisjonen av årsregnskapet

Vårt mål er å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at årsregnskapet som helhet ikke inneholder vesentlig feilinformasjon, verken som følge av misligheter ell, og å avgi en revisjonsberetning som inneholder vår konklusjon. Betryggende sikkerhet er en høy grad av sikkerhet, men ingen garanti for at en revisjon utført i samsvar med ISA-ene, alltid vil avdekke vesentlig feilinformasjon som eksisterer. Feilinformasjon kan oppstå som følge av misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Feilinformasjon blir vurdert som vesentlig dersom den enkeltvis eller samlet med rimelighet kan forventes å påvirke økonomiske beslutninger som brukerne foretar basert på årsregnskapet.

Som del av en revisjon i samsvar med ISA-ene, utøver vi profesjonelt skjønn og utviser profesjonell skepsis gjennom hele revisjonen. I tillegg:

  • · identifiserer og vurderer vi risikoen for vesentlig feilinformasjon i regnskapet, enten det skyldes misligheter eller utilsiktede feil. Vi utformer og gjennomfører revisjonshandlinger for å håndtere slike risikoer, og innhenter revisjonsbevis som er tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon. Risikoen for at vesentlig feilinformasjon som følge av misligheter ikke blir avdekket, er høyere enn for feilinformasjon som skyldes utilsiktede feil, siden misligheter kan innebære samarbeid, forfalskning, bevisste utelatelser, uriktige fremstillinger eller overstyring av internkontroll.
  • opparbeider vi oss en forståelse av den interne kontroll som er relevant for revisjonen, for å . utforme revisjonshandlinger som er hensiktsmessige etter omstendighetene, men ikke for å gi uttrykk for en mening om effektiviteten av selskapets og konsernets interne kontroll.
  • . evaluerer vi om de anvendte regnskapsprinsippene er hensiktsmessige og om regnskapsestimatene og tilhørende noteopplysninger utarbeidet av ledelsen er rimelige.
  • . konkluderer vi på hensiktsmessigheten av ledelsens bruk av fortsatt drift-forutsetningen ved avleggelsen av årsregnskapet, basert på innhentede revisjonsbevis, og hvorvidt det foreligger vesentlig usikkerhet knyttet til hendelser eller forhold som kan skape tvil av betydning om selskapets og konsernets evne til fortsatt drift. Dersom vi konkluderer med at det eksisterer vesentlig usikkerhet, kreves det at vi i revisjonsberetningen henleder oppmerksomheten på tilleggsopplysningene i årsregnskapet, eller, dersom slike tilleggsopplysninger ikke er tilstrekkelige, at vi modifiserer vår konklusjoner er basert på revisjonsbevis innhentet inntil datoen for revisjonsberetningen. Etterfølgende hendelser eller forhold kan imidlertid medføre at selskapet og konsernet ikke fortsetter driften.
  • evaluerer vi den samlede presentasjonen, strukturen og innholdet i årsregnskapet, inkludert tilleggsopplysningene, og hvorvidt årsregnskapet gir uttrykk for de underliggende transaksjonene og hendelsene på en måte som gir et rettvisende bilde.
  • · innhenter vi tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig revisjonsbevis vedrørende den finansielle informasjonen til enhetene eller forretningsområdene i konsernet for å kunne gi uttrykk for en mening om det konsoliderte regnskapet. Vi er ansvarlige for å lede, følge opp og gjennomføre konsernrevisjonen. Vi alene er ansvarlige for vår revisjonskonklusjon.

Vi kommuniserer med styret blant annet om det planlagte omfanget av revisjonen og til hvilken tid revisjonsarbeidet skal utføres. Vi utveksler også informasjon om forhold av betydning som vi har avdekket i løpet av revisjonen, herunder om eventuelle svakheter av betydning i den interne kontrollen.
