Note 1 General Information

Elop AS (the Company) is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway, with its head office in Nordvikvegen 50, 2316 Hamar. The Company is listed on Euronext Growth and has the ticker "ELOP-ME".

ELOP AS is a Norwegian technology company established in 2013. The company has developed and patented technology based on ultrasound for inspection and mapping of critical infrastructure. The company develops and commercializes tools and digital solutions to inspect, monitor and manage infrastructure worldwide. The vision is to provide owners of constructions with smart solutions that contribute to increased safety and service life, and reduced service life costs and climate footprint.

These interim financial statements for the six months ending 31 December 2020, have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting, taking into account that this is the first time reporting under IFRS, hence additional information for selected notes are disclosed.

The Company has converted to IFRS per 1 January 2019, as further described in note 10.

The interim financial statements are not audited.

Note 2 Accounting principles

The general accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. Specific accounting principles are described in the relevant notes.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements of Elop AS are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the European Union (EU), and additional disclosure requirements in the Norwegian Accounting Act as effective of 31 December 2020.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian Kroner (NOK).

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.

Classification of current and non-current items

An asset is classified as current when it is expected to be realized or sold, or to be used in the Company's normal operating cycle, or falls due or is expected to be realized within 12 months after the end of the reporting period. Other assets are classified as non-current. Liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle of the Company or are expected to be settled within 12 months of the end of the reporting period, or if the Company does not have an unconditional right to postpone settlement for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits. Cash and cash equivalents are measured at amortized cost.

The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately that have a finite useful life are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and any impairment charges. Amortization is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets' expected useful life and adjusted for any impairment charges.

Internally generated intangible assets

Expenditures on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new technical knowledge and understanding, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Expenditures on development activities are capitalized, providing a future financial benefit relating to the development of an identifiable intangible asset can be identified and the expenses can be reliably measured. Capitalized development costs include costs directly attributable to development of the intangible, such as personnel expenses and consultancy services. Otherwise, such expenses are expensed as and when incurred. Capitalized development cost is amortized on a straight-line basis over the assets' expected useful life and adjusted for any impairment charges.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the assets' expected useful life and adjusted for any impairment charges. Ordinary repairs and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in operating profit. Major assets with different expected useful lives are reported as separate components.

Property, plant and equipment are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

The difference between the asset's carrying amount and its recoverable amount is recognized in the income statement as an impairment loss. Property, plant and equipment that have suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the statement of comprehensive income over the duration of the borrowings.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Trade and other payables

Financial liabilities regularly give rise to a redemption obligation in cash or another financial asset. These include, among others, trade payables.

Upon initial recognition, financial liabilities are measured at fair value. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition are also recognized for all financial liabilities that are not subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Trade payables and other non-derivative financial liabilities are generally measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation underlying the liability is discharged, canceled, or expired.

Government grants

Government grants that are related to assets are deducted from the carrying amount of the asset.

A government grant is recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received.

Share-based payment

Equity-settled, share-based payments are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of non-market-based vesting conditions) at the grant date. The fair value is expensed over the vesting period as an employee benefit expense, with a corresponding increase in equity. The vesting period is the period over which all the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the Company revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest, based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit or loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

The fair value at the grant date is determined using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model. The expected share price volatility is based on historical volatility for a selection of comparable listed companies adjusted with a premium taking into account the maturity of the peers compared to the Company. The risk-free interest rate is based on zero-coupon government bonds with a term equal to the expected term of the option being valued.

Social security contributions payable in connection with an option grant are considered an integral part of the grant itself. The charges are treated as cash-settled, share-based payments and re-measured at each reporting date.

When the options are exercised, the appropriate number of shares are transferred to the employee. The proceeds received from the exercise of the options (net of any directly attributable transaction costs) are credited directly to equity.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to ordinary shares using the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year after the deduction of the average number of treasury shares held over the period.

The calculation of diluted earnings per share is consistent with the calculation of the basic earnings per share, but at the same time gives effect to all dilutive potential ordinary shares that were outstanding during the period, by adjusting the profit/loss and the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential shares, for example:

• The profit or loss for the period attributable to ordinary shares is adjusted for changes in profit or loss that would result from the conversion of the dilutive potential ordinary shares

• The weighted average number of ordinary shares is increased by the weighted average number of additional ordinary shares that would have been outstanding, assuming the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The use of estimates and assessment of accounting policies when preparing the annual accounts

Estimates and assumptions

Management has used estimates and assumptions that have affected assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses, and information on potential liabilities. Future events may lead to these estimates being changed. Estimates and their underlying assumptions are reviewed on a regular basis and are based on best estimates and historical experience. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized during the period when the changes take place. If the changes also apply to future periods, the effect is divided among the present and future periods.

Judgements

Management has, when preparing the financial statements; made certain significant assessments based on critical judgment when it comes to application of the accounting principles.

Material exercise of judgment and estimates relate to the following matters:

• Intangible assets, note 6

Note 3 Segments

Accounting principles

An operating segment is a component of an entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses. Furthermore, the Company's component's operating results are regularly reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance, and thus separate financial information is available. The Company has determined that the Board of Directors is the chief operating decision maker.

The segment information is reported in accordance with the reporting to the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision makers) and is consistent with financial information used for assessing performance and allocating resources.

The Company has identified one segment and at as this is a developing entity, the Company is currently following up the segment profit at the same level as for the Profit and Loss.

Note 4 Revenue

Accounting principles

For the period covered by this report there are no or limited revenue. The revenue is recognized at point in time, when services or sales are delivered.

In 2021 the Company will launch their products and the revenue recognition principles applied will be included as part of the first interim report released after launch of their commercial business.

Note 5 Leasing

Accounting policies

In 2019 there were no leasing contracts recognized as right of use assets and lease liabilities. At the end of 2020, the company entered into two new house rental contracts where right of use assets and lease liabilities were recognized.

Contracts may contain both lease and non-lease components. The Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices. The lease agreements do not impose any covenants.

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the fixed payments. Currently the company has one long-term lease contract, which relates to the head-office.

The lease payments are discounted using the lessee's incremental borrowing rate, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the rightof-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.

To determine the incremental borrowing rate, the Company would use a build-up approach that starts with a risk-free interest rate adjusted for credit risk for leases held by the Group and makes adjustments specific to the lease.

The Company can be exposed to potential future increases in variable lease payments based on an index, which are not included in the lease liability until they take effect. When adjustments to lease payments based on an index or rate take effect, the lease liability is reassessed and adjusted against the right-of-use asset. Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right-of-use assets are measured at cost comprising the amount of the initial measurement of lease liability.

Right-of-use assets are generally depreciated over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis. The right-of-use assets are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.

Payments associated with short-term leases and all leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Short-term leases are leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Lowvalue assets comprise IT equipment and small items of office furniture.

The lease agreements include termination options and extension options. The termination option does not include a significant fee. It is the management intention to not early terminate the contract.

Description

The Company's has entered in to two new lease agreements in for rental of premises. The agreements are long term, and are included in the calculation for right of use assets and lease liabilities. Other contracts during the year have consisted of two rental agreements for premises where both the lessor or lessee had the right to terminate the agreements with either three- or six-month's termination notice. As these contracts could be cancelled within a few months they were classified as short-term contracts and payments associated with these contracts were recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense in profit or loss. Both of these contracts are terminated at year end in accordance with entering into the two new lease agreements.

Purchased research and development:

In March 2013, Elop AS acquired the business of Elop-Dolphiscan AS. This included capitalized research and development costs. Elop–Dolphiscan AS developed camera-based quality control in ongoing production processes with automatic detection and sorting of defects. Labeling, data capture and data handling is another major area.

The purchase price amounted to NOK 300 000 and was depreciated on a straight-line basis over 4 years.

In-house developed research and development:

Elop AS researches and develops an instrument for NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) and inspection of concrete infrastructure. In addition the company develops associated software to manage and analyze inspection data for asset owners. Elop AS has chosen to capitalize directly registered wage costs, project-related costs regarding hired services from approved research and development institutions and other partners in addition to direct travel and diet costs on research and development projects as an intangible asset. Capitalized costs have been reduced with grants from Innovation Norway AS, the Regional Research Fund, the Research Council, Horizon 2020 SMEs through the EU Commission and Skattefunn.

It is assumed that the total expected earnings from capitalized research and development correspond to the total expenses incurred.

Depreciation is expected to start in 2021 together with commercial launch of products.

Patents:

The book value of patents amounts to NOK 514 936. These are patent costs for patent applications that are being processed. The costs are identifiable and are expected to represent future economic benefits. Processing of patent applications both in Norway and internationally takes a long time, in most cases several years before a final decision is made. As the patent applications have not yet been approved and it has not yet generated income yet, no depreciation has been made in 2020 and 2019.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the loss that the Company would suffer if a counterparty fails to perform its financial obligations.

Should a counterparty fail to honor its obligations under its agreements with the Company, this could impair the Company's liquidity and cause significant losses, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, results of operations, cash flows, financial condition and/or prospects.

Liquidity risk

The Company's business and future plans are capital intensive and, to the extent the Company does not generate sufficient cash from operations in the long term, the Company may need to raise additional funds through public or private debt or equity financing to execute the Company's growth strategy and to fund capital expenditures. Adequate sources of capital funding might not be available when needed or may only be available on unfavorable terms. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, the Company may be unable to, inter alia, fund acquisitions, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, any of which could adversely impact the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Any future debt arrangements could limit the Company's liquidity and flexibility in obtaining additional financing and/or in pursuing other business opportunities. Further, the Company's future ability to obtain bank financing or to access the capital markets for any future debt or equity offerings may be limited by the Company's financial condition at the time of such financing or offering, as well as by adverse market conditions related to, for example, general economic conditions and contingencies and uncertainties that are beyond the Company's control. Failure by the Company to obtain funds for future capital expenditures could impact the Company's results, financial condition, cash flows and prospects

Capital management

The Company's objectives for capital management are to ensure that it maintains sufficient free liquidity with regards to cash and cash equivalents in order to support its business and obligations as well as having sufficient flexibility to invest in attractive investment opportunities. The Company manages its capital structure in light of changes in economic and actual conditions, and the development in the underlying business. The Company's equity ratio exceeded 82,0 % per 31.12.2020 and 84,1 % per 31.12.2019.

Note 9 Events after the balance sheet date

Business combination

21st December 2020 the Company signed the share purchase agreement to acquire 100 percent of the shares in Norwegian artificial intelligence (AI) company Simplifai AS (Simplifai), which gives Elop immediate access to highly advanced SaaS and automation competence and resources.

Through partnering with Simplifai, Elop obtains technological and commercial resources that enable the company to move faster towards a commercially viable data driven, cloud-based software as a service business model for monitoring and optimized maintenance of concrete infrastructure.

According to the share purchase agreement, Elop will acquire all the shares of Simplifai, whose shareholders will receive a consideration reflecting an ownership of 22 percent of the shares on a fully diluted basis in the combined company after completion. The transaction valued Simplifai at NOK 148,463,095. The equity of Simplifai 31.12.2020 is The transaction was settled whereby 99% of the purchase price was covered through a sellers credit and 1% through cash.

The valuation principles are based on corresponding, long term growth forecasts for both companies, with revenue and profitability to a large degree driven by software services.

The transaction was completed at 18 January 2021. Following the transaction the sellers credit was converted to shares. 20 300 893 new shares were issued and registration completed on January 26th . This corresponds to a capital increase of NOK 1 015 045 with accoutning premium of NOK 145,963,419. The difference between the equity value at closing and the purchase price will be allocated in an ongoing PPA.

As a result of the exercise of warrants by Storbrea on December 20th, Elop issued 2 400 000 shares that were registered on January 15th. This corresponds to a capital increase of NOK 120 000 at an accounting premium of NOK 8 880 000.

Note 10 Conversion to IFRS

These financial statements, for the interim period ended 31 December 2020, are the first the Company has prepared in accordance with IFRS. For the year ended 31 December 2019, the Company prepared its financial statements in accordance with Norwegian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (NGAAP).

The Company has prepared financial statements that comply with IFRS applicable as at 31 December 2020, together with the comparative period data for the year ended 31 December 2019, as described in general accounting principles and relevant notes.

In preparing the financial statements, the Company's opening statement of financial position was prepared as at 1 January 2019, the Company's date of transition to IFRS. This note explains the principal adjustments made by the Company in restating its NGAAP financial statements. The figures under NGAAP were presented in NOK and there are no changes to either functional or presentation currency at implementation of IFRS.

Exemptions applied

IFRS 1 First-Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards allows first-time adopters certain exemptions from the general requirement to apply IFRS as effective for December 2020 year ends retrospectively. Elop AS has not used any of the available exemptions. At the date of transition to IFRS, 1 January 2019, the entity had no lease agreements that were scoped into IFRS 16, no granted stock options, and no cumulative translation differences.

IFRS to NGAAP differences

In adopting IFRS the following differences from NGAAP to IFRS were identified and taken into account during the conversion for the balance sheet dates of 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2019 as well as the time period 2019.

Notes to the reconciliation of changes from NGAAP to IFRS:

A) Share-based payments

Under NGAAP, the Company did not recognize any costs associated to the share-based payments as an expense. This includes both share options to employees and warrants granted as consideration for services. IFRS requires the fair value of the share options to be determined using an appropriate pricing model recognized over the vesting period.

In connection with share options to employees, expenses of NOK 81 034 (2019), were recognized in profit or loss as employee benefit expenses. This includes social security tax. In connection with warrants granted as consideration for services, expenses of NOK 4 205 559 were recognized in profit or loss as other operating expenses in 2019 in connection with issued warrants.

The following amounts were recognized against the other reserves, NOK 4 279 581, where NOK 74 022 related to options and NOK 4 205 559 related to warrants (31 December 2019).

For the corresponding social security tax liability on options, the recognized amount was NOK 7 012 (31 December 2019).

B) Convertible debt amortization

Under NGAAP, the Company did not amortize convertible debt or recognize any costs associated to the interest component as an expense during the first twelve-month interest free period of the loan. IFRS requires that a financial component of the loan be recognized during the interest free period in equity and that the convertible debt be shown at the amortized value.

In 2018 Equity in the other reserve was increased NOK 76 101. Interest expenses of NOK 28 360 were recognized in profit and loss and reduced Equity in Retained earnings. Convertible debt was decreased by a net NOK 47 742 (a decrease of NOK 76 101 with separation of the equity component and an increase of NOK 28 360 with the expensing of interest).

In 2019 interest expenses related to the convertible debt of NOK 47 742 were recognized in profit and loss. Convertible debt increased with NOK 47 742 with the expensing of interest. Equity in retained earnings decreased with NOK 47 742 with the expensing of interest.

C) Leases

Under NGAAP, a lease is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease. Operating lease payments are recognized as an operating expense in the statement of profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Under IFRS, a lessee applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets and recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

In 2019 the Company determined all leasing contracts it had were either short term or low value and as such the accounting treatment was unchanged.

D) Research and Development

Under NGAAP, both research and development can be capitalized dependent on the probability of future economic benefits and in line with the matching principle where expenses are synchronized with revenue income. Under IFRS only development costs are capitalized and only when these costs can be sufficiently linked to future economic benefits and meet other capitalization criteria. Additionally, the carrying amount is required to be amortized in line with expected future benefits (or impaired if required) if they have a finite life.

'Under NGAAP, NOK 7 486 022 was recognized as a Development asset with a definite useful life. As at the date of transition to IFRS, 1 January 2019, the carrying value deemed to meet the capitalization criteria of IAS 38 was NOK 6 297 849 and consequently a reduction adjustment was applied for NOK 1 188 173 (with a counter post against Retained Earnings to the same value). In 2019 NOK 5 560 073 were capitalized as Development and consequently an IFRS adjustment. The asset is still in a developmental stage and therefore no amortization was applied.

E) Reclassification from share premium to retained earnings.

Under NGAAP, the accumulated losses are reclassified from retained earnings to share premium. These reclassifications are reversed and share premium reflects the contributed capital and retained earnings reflects the accumulated deficit. As at the date of transition to IFRS, 1 January 2019, NOK 8 778 359 increased share premium and reduced retained earnings (deficit). As at 31 December 2019, NOK 14 678 158 increased share premium and reduced retained earnings (deficit).

F) Unregistered capital increase

Under NGAAP, the Company recognized unregistered capital increases in equity as an Unregistered capital receivable and in receivables as a Share capital/premium receivable. IFRS requires that this capital is not recognized until it has been approved by the general assembly and the funds have been received.

Equity in Unregistered capital increase was reduced by NOK 49 210 504 (31 December 2019) and Share capital/premium receivables was reduced by the same amount.
