(UNAUDITED) OCTOBER 2018

Highlights Q3 2018

17.0% growth; combined ratio 117,6% – significant reserve loss in Change of Ownership

Valuation of financial assets and liabilities

The fair value of listed investments is based on the current sales price. Financial instruments measured at fair value are valued on a daily basis. Directly observable prices in the market are used as far as possible. The valuations for the different types of financial instruments are based on recognized methods and models.

Level 1 - Financial instruments valued on the basis of quoted prices for identical assets in active markets

This category encompasses listed equities that over the previous three months have experienced average daily trading equivalent to approximately MNOK 20 or more. Based on this, the equities are regarded as sufficiently liquid to be included at this level. Bonds, certificates or equivalent instruments issued by national governments are generally classified as level 1.

Level 2 - Financial instruments valued on the basis of observable market information not covered by level 1

This category encompasses financial instruments that are valued on the basis of market information that can be directly observable or indirectly observable. Market information that is indirectly observable means that the prices can be derived from observable related markets. Level 2 includes shares or equivalent equity instruments for which market prices are available, but where the volume of transactions is too limited to fulfil the criteria in level 1. Shares in this level will normally have been traded during the last month. Bonds and equivalent instruments are generally classified in this level. Foreign exchange derivatives are classified as level 2. Fund investments are generally classified as level 2.

Level 3 - Financial instruments valued on the basis of information that is not observable in accordance with level 2

The instrument is included in level 3 if one or more essential data are not based on observable market data.
