NEWS RELEASES DURING 2ND QUARTER 2021 AND BEFORE THE 2Q REPORTING DATE ON 23RD AUGUST 2021:

Agreement with Hynion

On 23rd of April 2021: HydrogenPro and Hynion announced a co-operations comprising the following:

  • HydrogenPro will supply green hydrogen to Hynion´s fueling station at Herøya in Norway, from two of its test/demo electrolyser containers
  • A general collaboration with Hynion regarding large-scale hydrogen production plants which will serve as centralized hubs for distribution to Hynion's network of hydrogen stations.

Agreement with Kvina Energy Park

On 28th of April 2021: HydrogenPro and Kvina Energy Park (KEP) entered into a cooperation agreement on the development of a significant hydrogen production facility in the Kvinesdal municipality in Norway. The plot is next to the largest electric hub in Norway, which is expected to provide access to electric power of in the range of 500-800 MW.

Update on MoU with Repsol

On 5th of May 2021 : HydrogenPro informed on 8th of January 2021 about the MoU with Repsol which included a 100MW project which i.a. was subject to allocation of Green Deal funding. HydrogenPro has now been informed that the mentioned 100MW project will not be part of the final Green Deal allocation in 2021. As previously communicated, discussions continue with Repsol.

HyDeal North America

On 18th of May 2021: Green Hydrogen Coalition launched HyDeal North America with HydrogenPro as one of the partners. HyDeal North America is a new commercialization platform founded by the Green Hydrogen Coalition to launch green hydrogen ecosystems around North America. Each regional initiative will be built around a consortium of diverse stakeholders, including multi-sectoral off-takers, with the goal of launching scaled supply chains that deliver low-cost green hydrogen.

MoU with H2V Industry and Mitsubishi Power Europe

On 27th of May 2021: HydrogenPro, H2V Industry and Mitsubishi Power Europe have entered into an MoU forming a consortium that will develop and deliver green industrial hydrogen projects

The MoU will form a long-term partnership, combining the value proposition and expertise of H2V Industry, HydrogenPro and Mitsubishi Power Europe supporting the European and French initiatives to reach the de-carbonisation goals.

OUTLOOK

The outlook for the Company's services continue to strengthen backed by an ever increasing focus on the need for an energy transition away from fossil energy sources. This is manifested through an increasing number of opportunities and projects within the green hydrogen space. Clients continue to mature projects and financing and move steadily towards final investment decision and thus contract awards. While the Company is not aware of any new large contract awards globally during the 2nd quarter, the Company view the award of EU or state financing as a catalyst to contract awards to be made late 2021 or early 2022. The Company expects that this will result in a strong demand for our early phase and front-end engineering studies.

HydrogenPro is attractively positioned in this developing market due to its mature and well proven high pressure alkaline technology in combination with energy efficient electrode technology. The Company has previously stated its ability to produce green hydrogen gas at a cost of USD 1.20 USD per kg (assumed electricity price of 0.02 USD/kWh) in 2022.

*) Option based compensation is restated in this report to highlight all costs related to the option incentive program (incl. social costs in Q1 and Q2). Social costs related to the option incentive program was 486K in Q1 2021 and 578K in Q2 2021. In addition, a one-off reversal of 419K is excluded because its non cash impact in Q1 2021. This is in accordance with NRS (F).

Accounting principles

The quarterly statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

Basis for consolidation

The Group's consolidated financial statements comprise Hydrogenpro AS and companies in which Hydrogenpro AS has a controlling interest. A controlling interest is normally obtained when the Group owns more than 50% of the shares in the Company and can exercise control over the Company. Minority interests are included in the Group's equity. Transactions between group companies have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statement. The consolidated financial statement has been prepared in accordance with the same accounting principles for both parent and subsidiary.

The purchase method is applied when accounting for business combinations. Companies which have been bought or sold during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date when control is achieved and until the date when control ceases.

Use of estimates

The management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, incomes, expenses and information on potential liabilities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

Revenue recognition

Revenues from the sale of goods or services are recognised in the income statement once delivery has taken place and most of the risk and return has been transferred.

Revenues from the sale of services and longterm manufacturing projects are recognised in the income statement according to the project's level of completion provided the outcome of the transaction can be estimated reliably. Progress is measured as the number of hours spent compared to the total number of hours estimated. When the outcome of the transaction cannot be estimated reliably, only revenues equal to the project costs that have been incurred will be recognised as revenue. The total estimated loss on a contract will be recognised in the income statement during the period when it is identified that a project will generate a loss.

Classification of balance sheet items

Current assets and short term liabilities consist of receivables and payables due within one year, and items related to the inventory cycle. Other balance sheet items are classified as fixed assets / long term liabilities.

Current assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value. Short term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.

Fixed assets are valued at cost, less depreciation and impairment losses. Long term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.

Intangible assets

Development costs are capitalized providing that a future economic benefit associated with development of the intangible asset can be established and costs can be measured reliably. Otherwise, the costs are expensed as incurred. Capitalized development costs are amortized linearly over its useful life. Research costs are expensed as incurred.

Fixed assets

Land is not depreciated. Other fixed assets are reflected in the balance sheet and depreciated to residual value over the asset's expected useful life on a straight-line basis. If changes in the depreciation plan occur the effect is distributed over the remaining depreciation period. Direct maintenance of an asset is expensed under operating expenses as and when it is incurred. Additions or improvements are added to the asset's cost price and depreciated together with the asset. The split between maintenance and additions/improvements is calculated in proportion to the asset's condition at the acquisition date.

Leased assets are reflected in the balances sheet as assets if the leasing contract is considered a financial lease.

Investments in other companies

Subsidiaries and investments in associates are valued at cost in the Company accounts. The investment is valued as cost of the shares in the subsidiary, less any impairment losses An impairment loss is recognised if the impairment is not considered temporary, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Impairment losses are reversed if the reason for the impairment loss disappears in a lather period.

Dividends, group contributions and other distributions from subsidiaries are recognised in the same year as they are recognised in the financial statement of the provider. If dividends / group contribution exceed withheld profits after the acquisition date, the excess amount represents repayment of invested capital, and the distribution will be deducted from the recorded value of the acquisition in the balance sheet for the parent company.

Asset impairments

Impairment tests are carried out if there is indication that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. The test is performed on the lowest level of fixed assets at which independent cashflows can be identified. If the carrying amount is higher than both the fair value less cost to sell and recoverable amount (net present value of future use/ownership), the asset is written down to the highest of fair value less cost to sell and the recoverable amount.

Previous impairment charges, except writedown of goodwill, are reversed in later periods if the conditions causing the writedown are no longer present.

Long term contracts

Work in progress on long term fixed-price contracts is valued according to the percentage of completion method. The degree of completion is calculated as expenses incurred as a percentage of estimated total expense. Total expenses are reviewed on a regular basis. If projects are expected to result in losses, the total estimated loss is recognised immediately.

Debtors

Trade debtors are recognised in the balance sheet after provision for bad debts. The bad debts provision is made on basis of an individual assessment of each debtor and an additional provision is made for other debtors to cover expected losses. Significant financial problems at the customers, the likelihood that the customer will become bankrupt or experience financial restructuring and postponements and insufficient payments, are considered indicators that the debtors should be written down.

Investments in quoted shares

Short term investments (stocks and shares seen as current assets) are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value at the balance sheet date. Dividends and other distributions are recognized as other financial income.

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate applicable on the transaction date. Monetary items in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their historical price expressed in a foreign currency are translated into NOK using the exchange rate applicable on the transaction date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their fair value expressed in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Changes to exchange rates are recognised in the income statement as they occur during the accounting period.

Liabilities

Liabilities, with the exception of certain liability provisions, are recognised in the balance sheet at nominal amount.

Taxes

The tax charge in the income statement includes both payable taxes for the period and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at relevant tax rates on the basis of the temporary differences which exist between accounting and tax values, and any carryforward losses for tax purposes at the year-end. Tax enhancing or tax reducing temporary differences, which are reversed or may be reversed in the same period, have been eliminated. The disclosure of deferred tax benefits on net tax reducing differences which have not been eliminated, and carryforward losses, is based on estimated future earnings. Deferred tax and tax benefits which may be shown in the balance sheet are presented net.

Tax reduction on group contributions given and tax on group contribution received, booked as a reduction of cost price or taken directly to equity, are booked directly against tax in the balance sheet (offset against payable taxes if the group contribution has affected payable taxes, and offset against deferred taxes if the group contribution has affected deferred taxes).
