AUGUST BUJAGALI SN Power signed a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Sithe Global for the acquisition of their complete shareholding in Bujagali Energy Limited, with an expiry date on 31 December The acquisition did not reach financial close due to missing government approvals of the share transfer. The Government of Uganda has initiated a full re-financing of the project. COMMERCIAL OPERATIONS CERTIFICATE BAJO FRIO SN Power has, through its partnership with Credicorp Group in Panama, developed and constructed the Bajo Frio hydropower project in the Chiriquí Viejo Basin near the border to Costa Rica. The project consists of a dam, two power station, and a canal, with a combined capacity of 58 MW. Construction started in 2011 and was finished in 2016 with all units performing to specifications. Generation started in 2015, and Bajo Frio received its commercial operations certificate in August The power station is now contributing to replacing power generated by thermal HFO generators in Panama. Approximately 60% of the production is sold through long term PPA. MARIS RAISING COMPLETED The Maris reservoir acts as a balancing pond by SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

7 THIS IS SN POWER OCTOBER KEY EVENTS 2016 SAFE OPERATIONS PROJECT LHPC RUZIZI III SN Power signed a Head of Terms agreement with Industrial Promotion Services (IPS) and started a due diligence process to potentially enter the 147 MW Ruzizi III hydropower project located on the river bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo) and Rwanda as IPS technical partner, and replace Sithe Global. As a result of a total evaluation of the project the Board of SNP decided not to pursue this opportunity. Norfund decided on this basis to continue the development of the project on a 100% basis, based on a full management service agreement with SN Power. The expected start of construction is in 2019 and the estimated commercial operation date in SN Power s 51% owned subsidiary Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company (LHPC) started the Safe Operations project, which will secure and stabilize energy supply from its two aging power stations, Lunsemfwa and Mulungushi, for the years to come. The project will be completed by the end of the first quarter of DECEMBER THPC Fifty-two of the fifty-six villages (96%) included in THPC s Social and Economic development (SED) program reached the consumption targets, set under the program. The reminder of the villages are expected to graduate THPC s program by the end of SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

8 THIS IS SN POWER MESSAGE FROM TORGER LIEN PRESIDENT & CEO For SN Power, 2016 was a year with good operational results, high activity on business and project development, improved HSE benchmarking figures and important restructuring activities in the organization. Overall the year was relatively dry in all our four operating countries, but in the last part of the year precipitation picked up and we experienced good inflows and increasing reservoir levels well into Spot prices in Panama and Philippines have remained relatively low, mainly due to increased overall generation capacity and low coal and gas prices. Our two construction projects, Maris Canal in the Philippines, and the Safety Upgrade project in Zambia, are developing according to plan. MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Focus on growth on a sound commercial basis. The new management structure implemented during 2015, has resulted in a handful of promising project opportunities in Africa and South East Asia. These have been further developed during The development strategy has been adjusted to increase the commercial efforts in the early stages of the projects, delaying costly technical and environmental studies until solutions to the main commercial challenges have been found. The main hurdle and challenge for hydropower projects in developing markets is the power off-take solution. Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), governmental guaranties, and license arrangements are prerequisites for viability of projects. With the high number of projects failing in the development phase due to unacceptable commercial conditions, additional financing of early stage activity combined with reduced development costs are required to stay competitive. This work has started and we already see concrete results. Making hydropower competitive in a fast-developing renewable energy market New renewable generation such as solar PV and wind, gain competitive ground year by year. Cost of generation is now in many markets at grid parity, and the steady yearly cost reduction per kilowatt installed capacity seems to continue. From an environmental perspective, this is very welcome, but for SN Power, concentrating on hydropower, it becomes more and more difficult to compete on a pure energy basis, as hydropower is delivering a different product. It is still the dominant renewable flexible SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

9 THIS IS SN POWER SN Power is well positioned to continue to be a major player within the renewable power sector in developing countries for years to come MESSAGE FROM THE CEO Torger Lien, CEO generation source, and it has by far the best ability to deliver grid services required in modern grid structures. Even with a six to eight hours storage capacity, a run of river hydro plant delivers a totally different product than solar and wind which are 100% intermittent. By fully utilizing the features of hydro generation and making the most out of its comparative advantages, we are convinced that hydropower will continue to have a strong position in the renewable energy sector. Fossil fuels still dominant in many markets. Even if new renewables are growing with an impressive rate, power generation based on fossil fuels will still be dominant in many of our markets and will therefore be central in price formation in these markets in the coming years. In Panama, existing fuel oil and new gas power plants based on LNG will be the price setters. As a result of lower future fuel price outlook, we have been forced to revise our market outlook for electricity prices, reducing expected future earnings. This is a fundamentally different situation from the one we expected four to five years ago. For new projects under development, robustness against lower energy cost, and certainty through firm PPA s, will be given increased weight going forward. Adapting to new market conditions Hydro power projects take more time to develop than most other power generating alternatives. On the other hand, they have a lifetime far exceeding these alternatives. To be competitive as a hydropower developer in today s market the cost of development must be on par with short-time-to-market solar and wind projects. In SN Power, we have adapted the organization to the new situation and Agua Imara has been restructured to become a pure asset management company. Business- and project development is concentrated in SN Power. Local offices have been reduced or scaled down. Local knowledge through local employees is prioritized over expatriates from the head office in Oslo. Local partnerships and consortium structures reducing cost during development and construction are under implementation. With these measures, I am convinced that hydropower remains a strong competitive alternative, and that it offers products that will be in demand also in the future electricity markets. SN Power is well positioned to continue to be a major player in developing flexible renewable generation projects in developing countries in Africa and South East Asia.

Our goal is to meet international Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE) standards in all of our activities. The Total Recordable Injury (TRI)-rate for Operation in 2016 was 1.6 (2.4), which is below the target. (TRI 3). This is a decrease from previous years. The TRI-rate for Projects in 2016 was 3.3 (6.1) and below the target (TRI 5). This result could partly be contributed to low construction activity, but both Maris Canal Project in the Philippines and the Safe Operation Project in Zambia has performed well in In Zambia we had, however, an accident with permanent disability. One of our employees lost sight on one eye. SNP experienced no fatalities in The focus in 2016 has been on building competence within own organization, particularly focusing on the country offices. As part of this, SNP plans to adopt as much as possible from Statkraft s Step Change program in Projects and Operations 2016 The Philippines SNP and its partner Aboitiz Power, own on a 50/50-basis three hydropower plants in the Philippines with a total capacity of 625 MW. The financial performance in 2016 was affected by lower deliveries of ancillary services in Magat as well as lower spot prices. This has however to some extent been compensated by a good portfolio of longer fixed price contracts. The annual demand growth in the Luzon grid is estimated at 9.5%. Generation capacity, mainly coal, natural gas and some renewables, mainly solar, have increased and spot prices were 18% lower than SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

17 THIS IS SN POWER All three plants Magat, Ambuklao and Binga provided ancillary services to the grid. SN Aboitiz Power Magat refinanced and topped up its debt in USD and PHP with a PHP 19 billion fixed rate corporate note facility. Bank of the Philippine Islands is lead arranger and China Banking Corporation is the joint lead arranger. The Maris Raising project was completed in March Construction has started on the 8.5 MW Maris Canal project and Commercial Operation Date is targeted early The Alimit hydropower generation project is in its feasibility stage. Laos SNP owns 20% of the shares in Theun Hinboun Power Company (THPC) in Laos. THPC has a capacity of 500 MW and the power is sold on long-term contracts to Thailand and Laos. THPC s other shareholders are EDL Generation Plc from Laos with 60% and GMS Power International Pte. Ltd. from Singapore with 20%. The production and sales during 2016 were lower than in 2015 and significantly lower than that of 2014 because of a lack of water partly caused by the El Niño effect. This lack of water ended with the arrival of the rainy season in June 2016 when production went back to normal again. Myanmar SNP has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Myanmar for the development of a large scale Middle Yeywa hydropower project on the Myitnge river. During 2016 SNP has been working on a Feasibility study and an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment for the project, and the studies will be ready in Zambia SNP s subsidiary Agua Imara owns a 51% share in Lunsemfwa Hydro Power Company (LHPC) in Zambia. LHPC owns and operates two hydropower plants with a combined capacity of 56 MW. LHPC is the only private power generating company connected to the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP). The operations of LHPC were severely affected by drought for the third consecutive year in This has depleted both reservoirs, which will impact the production also in During the second half of the year, site activities on the safe operations project started. The project aims at refurbishing the existing units and equipment. The Lunsemfwa plant is completed and the Mulungushi plant is scheduled to be completed during the first quarter of LHPC also owns Muchinga Power Company (MPC) in Zambia. MPC has a license to develop a hydropower plant with a potential capacity of MW, downstream of the existing LHPC power plants. USD 6.9 million has been written down in 2016 related to MPC, due to suspension of the current scope of the project. Panama SNP has through Agua Imara one subsidiary and one joint venture in Panama, Fountain Intertrade Corporation (FIC) and Hidro Burica SA (Burica). Agua Imara holds a 50.1% ownership share in both companies. FIC has developed and constructed the 58 MW Bajo Frio run of river hydropower project, in the Chiriquí Viejo Basin near the border to Costa Rica. Bajo Frio started to generate energy in June 2015 and the regulator issued the Commercial Operations Certificate in August The first half of 2016 was affected by the El Niño phenomenon, which implied a lower than average hydrology and therefore lower production than in a normal year. Approximately 60% of the production is currently sold through a long term PPA which runs to the end of USD 57.4 million was written down in 2016 related to Bajo Frio, due to higher cost and later start-up than expected as well as a revised future market outlook. Burica is developing the 63 MW run of river hydropower plant immediately downstream of Bajo Frio. Due to the synergies with the Bajo Frio project, the construction of the Burica intake was completed in An international tender process for construction companies and equipment providers was put on hold early in 2016 due to uncertainty related to the approval of the 63 MW license. The approval was given in June 2016 and Burica is preparing for the new Power Purchase Agreement auction expected to take place in the third quarter of Mozambique SNP s and Agua Imara s office in Mozambique has been closed down in 2016, due to lack of progress on development of new projects. However, SNP and Agua Imara will continue to monitor the potential for projects in the country. Uganda On 3 March 2016 SNP signed a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA) with Sithe Global for the acquisition of their complete shareholding in Bujagali Energy Limited, with an expiry date on 31 December The SPA was not extended at the end of the year due to missing government approvals of the share transfer. The Uganda Government initiated a full re-financing of the project. Rwanda/Burundi/DRC SNP signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Industrial Promotion Services (IPS) and started a due diligence process to potentially enter the 147 MW Ruzizi III hydropower project located on the river bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo) and Rwanda as IPS technical partner, and replace Sithe Global. The Ruzizi III project represents an opportunity to enter a fairly matured project with a well-structured commercial framework. The expected start of construction is in 2019 and the estimated commercial operation date in The host countries and the region in general represents a risk profile that is fairly high. As a result of a total evaluation of the project the Board of SNP decided not to pursue this BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

18 THIS IS SN POWER opportunity. Norfund decided on this basis to continue the development of the project on a 100% basis, based on a full management service agreement with SN Power. Indonesia SNP is exploring opportunities for hydro power projects in Indonesia. A pre-feasibility study is being conducted for one project in the Lariang river in Sulawesi in partnership with Aboitiz Power and The Indonesian Industrial group Astra. 6. Employees and Organization Mid-2016 SNP, due to strategic reasons, decided to downsize its non-operational office in Singapore with effect as of 1 January SNP s consolidated companies had 136 employees at the end of 2016 (136). Of these, 12 (16) worked at the company s headquarters in Oslo together with 8 (7) employees in Agua Imara AS in addition to 6 (6) in the Philippines, 8 during the year and 0 at year end (8) in Singapore, 4 (4) in the Netherlands, 62 (55) in Zambia, 6 (0) in Bangkok and 30 (40) in Panama. Including joint ventures, the total number of employees at the end of 2016 was 660 (675). Of the additional employees in joint ventures, 201 (188) worked in the Philippines (SN Aboitiz Power (SNAP)/Manila Oslo Renewable Energy (MORE)), 2 (10) in Panama (Hidro Burica SA) and 321 (341) in Laos (Theun-Hinboun Power Company Ltd). The Management team of the group continues to be divided into two units; one focusing on development and the other on operational matters. In this way, the SN Power Group has developed to be a leaner matrix based organization, working across different cultures. In 2016, sick leave in SNP was 654 days, equivalent to 1.87% of the total number of working days. SN Power AS and Agua Imara AS had 38 (74) sick leave days, equivalent to 0.73% (1.40%) of the total number of working days. At the end of the year, two of the six (33.3%) Board members in SN Power AS were females, with one female (10%) present in the top management % of SN Power AS s workforce is female. To ensure that SNP does not discriminate on grounds of gender, religion, ethnic background, physical challenges or otherwise, appropriate procedures are in place concerning selection to jobs, promotions to higher positions, transfers and redundancies. Procedures entail transparent recruitment processes whereby job opportunities normally are advertised internally as a minimum, but in general also made available to the public through advertisements. Employment decisions are made in cooperation between at least two managers and the HR function to ensure compliance with statutory regulations and SNP s internal guidelines. 7. Society and the Environment SNP is committed to comply with international environmental and social standards set by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the UN Global Compact. The standards are integrated into the Company s Group CSR and Environmental Policy and Procedures and into the Company s project management tool. SNP is keeping its strong focus on anti-corruption. The Company s policy on reporting of concerns is focusing on a transparent, open line to report possible irregularities, and at the same time, protecting the integrity of the whistleblower (reporter). In addition, SNP s recording system ensures confidential reporting of any issue related to integrity and corruption. The same policy and system have been introduced to SNP s joint ventures and subsidiaries. IFC has adopted SNP s methodology for dealing with stakeholders in a systematic manner, and SNP and IFC mutually exchange knowledge and methodologies within this field. A policy on security was implemented in During 2016, there were no records of serious violations of SNP s environmental standards for emission or other serious environmental risks, and no serious ethical or integrity cases were reported. The Company s operations do not result in pollution or spillage harmful to the external environment. 8. Market and Regulatory Update Global fuel prices have come down significantly the last year implying that the costs of conventional thermal generation are declining in most power markets. In combination with the global investment boom in wind and solar power this will inevitably reduce power prices also in SNP s markets, including the Philippines and Panama. Against this backdrop of uncertain global fuel prices and spot prices in most emerging markets, SNP will primarily focus on investments backed by long-term power purchase agreements rather than merchant plants, with the exception of a few markets where spot prices alone may still justify plants with full spot exposure (i.e. notably the Philippines and Panama). In the Philippines, the spot prices have come down significantly the last couple of years, and SN Aboitiz Power have reduced their spot exposure by developing a contract portfolio with favorable prices. In Panama, a large contract for a liquefied natural gas fired combined cycle gas power plant has been awarded to American energy company AES, which will alter the power balance from On the regulatory side, the guidelines from 2013 preventing hydropower plants with reservoirs to set the spot price are to be changed, which will be favorable to Bajo Frio, and bring the regulatory system in line with the other cost-based pools in Latin America. BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

19 THIS IS SN POWER 9. Risk Management SNP s growth targets and the nature of its business make it important to monitor and understand the risk picture continuously at all levels. A global framework for risk management is implemented in all business areas and constantly improved. Important risk exposures for SNP are related to hydrology, market, political and regulatory environment, construction, health and safety, finance markets, and corruption. The company has in 2016 focused on monitoring and controlling risks and uncertainties by further developing procedures and tools to ensure quality in project development, investment decisions, project execution, and operations. The Group relies on project financing in which lenders are not entitled to recourse against the parent or sister companies. In some cases, capped parent company guarantees will still have to be issued in order to cover risks that cannot be allocated to lenders, typically construction related risks. SNP has established a uniform and comprehensive set of HSE standards, which are monitored by its regional organizations and representatives in the Boards, the SNP management team, and through HSE audits. Serious injuries are subject to independent accident investigations. 10. Priorities for SN Power in 2017 BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT In some countries in which SNP operates, exposure to political and regulatory risk is considered to be high. All markets are particularly closely monitored in this regard and mitigation measures such as political risk insurance is evaluated and acquired if necessary. The company manages the financial risks associated with foreign currencies, interest rates and liquidity primarily by using currency forward contracts and interest rate swap agreements. Through the maximization of dividends, repayment of previously contributed capital, share issues and refinancing operations of the operative project companies, the capital structure is optimized to maximize the Group s value and reinvestment capability. SNP has operating assets in the Philippines, Laos, Zambia and Panama. As the plant in Panama enters its first full year of regular operations and the plants in Zambia restart after the safe operations refurbishments, excellent operational performance will be a main priority. After dry years in many places we expect normal hydrology in SNP s work with the project pipeline in 2016 has focused on narrowing the scope to focus on a few projects where the likelihood that the projects will reach completion is deemed to be high. For 2017, the main priority will be to bring these preferred projects forward and limit the search for new projects to countries where we are already present or to where the particular hydropower project will have a competitive advantage compared to other power sources.

25 Notes to the financial statments FIGURES IN USD 1,000 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1 Summary of significant accounting principles General information SN Power AS, including subsidiaries (SN Power Group), is an international renewable energy company with projects and operations in South-East Asia, Sub-Sahara Africa and Central America. The company invests on commercial terms and is committed to social and environmental sustainability throughout the business. The company s headquarter is in Oslo. The consolidated financial statements of the SN Power Group for the year 2016 were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 1 March The following text describes the most important accounting principles used in the consolidated financial statements. These principles have been applied consistently to all reporting, unless otherwise stated. Basic principles The consolidated financial statements for the Group have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The following new and revised or amended Standards and Interpretations have also been adopted in these financial statements. Their adoption has not had any significant impact on the amounts reported in these financial statements, but may affect the accounting for future transactions or arrangements. Standard/ Interpretation Title Date of issue Applicable to accounting periods commencing on or after Amendments to IAS 1 Disclosure initiative Dec January 2016 Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 28 Amendments to IFRS 11 Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38 Amendments to IAS 27 Improvements to IFRSs (Various Standards and Interpretations) Investment entities: Applying the Consolidation Exemption Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations Acceptable methods of depreciation and amortisation Allow the use of the Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements Improvements to IFRSs Cycle Dec January 2016 May January 2016 May January 2016 August January 2016 September January 2016 At the time of presentation of the financial statements, the following standards and interpretations are issued by IASB, but not entered into force for the financial year Management assumes that these standards and interpretations will be applied in the Group financial statements from the financial year 2017 or later, and have not assessed the potential effect of these new standards. Standards and Interpretations that are clearly not relevant for the Group s financial statements have not been included in the below schedule. The impact of the standard listed below on the Group financial statements are expected to be minimal. SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

26 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Standard/ Interpretation Improvements to IFRSs (Various Standards and Interpretations) Title Annual Improvements Cycle Date of issue Applicable to accounting periods commencing on or after December January 2017 IFRS 9 Financial Instruments July January 2018 IFRS 15 IAS 12 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Amendments regarding the recognition of deferred tax assets for Unrealized losses May January 2018 January January 2017 IAS 7 Disclosure initiative January January 2017 Functional and presentation currency The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars (USD), which is the functional currency of the parent company is US dollars (USD). All amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise stated. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Group s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the reporting date. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Changes in estimates will be recognized in the period they occur only if applicable in that period. If changes also concern future periods, the effect is distributed over both current and future periods. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes requiring a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in the future. The areas in the financial statements of SN Power Group that are most affected by significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions are: Useful life of tangible and intangible fixed assets Depreciation is based on management estimates of the useful lives of the assets and their residual values. Estimates may change due to changes in scrap value, technological development, environmental and other conditions. Management reviews the future useful lives of each component and the residual value annually, taking into account the above mentioned factors. Provisions and contingent liabilities IAS 37 defines when to recognize a provision in the financial statements. Management must make estimates and use judgment in determining the expected probability of an outflow of resources and a reliable estimate of the amount. Purchase price allocation related to new investments in subsidiaries, associated companies, and joint ventures When entering into new investments in subsidiaries, associated companies or joint ventures, the Group will measure the cost of the business combination according to IFRS 3. Management must use judgment in defining and allocating fair values of assets, liabilities and direct costs attributable to the combination. Contracts related to purchase and sale of energy Contracts related to purchase and sale of energy that meets the definition of financial instruments, are valued at fair value through profit and loss. The calculation of fair value on such contracts imply in most cases use of a wide range of estimates, of which the determination of future price curves in the market are the most significant. Impairments SN Power Group has significant investments in fixed assets, associated companies and joint ventures. These assets are tested for possible impairment where indications of loss of value are present. Such indicators might be changes in market prices on energy or capital, shift in production capacity or other economic and legal circumstances. Calculating the recoverable amount requires a series of estimates concerning future cash flows, of which price curves and discount rate are the most significant. Development costs Development costs are recognized in the balance sheet when it is probable that these will result in future economic benefits. Establishing such probability involves extensive use of judgment based on previous results and experience. Price forecast for power A key assumption used by management in making business decisions is management s price forecasts for power and the related market developments. In addition, these assumptions are critical input for management related to financial statement processes such as: Allocation of fair value in business combinations Valuation of contracts related to purchase and sale of energy SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

27 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Impairment testing of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and equity accounted investments SN Power performs an update of its price forecasts and the related expected market developments in the geographical areas where SN Power operates, annually. The update provides basis for both strategic decisions as well as the management s expectation for future prices and revenue streams associated with the assets. The annual update is the output of a continuous process of monitoring, interpreting and analyzing global as well as local trends, market fluctuations and drivers that ultimately could affect future markets and revenues. A fundamental approach is applied to analyse the markets. Such analysis includes among others; Cost levels of competing technologies and fuels Future energy balances Political regulations Technological developments to reduce emissions of climate gases The process is headed and run by a team of experts across the organization. The main results are benchmarked to external references and major deviations are explained. The process aims to ensure consistency, and arrive at a balanced view of both the markets and the future power prices. Capital management The primary objective of the Group s capital management is to optimize the use of equity to maximize shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, in light of changes in economic conditions. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust debt exposure, dividend payments to shareholders, return capital to shareholders or issue new shares. The Group s policy is to use project financing in all investments and in the long run to keep the gearing ratio in operating companies above 50 %. The gearing ratio is defined as interest bearing debt divided by Total equity and liabilities: Total Interest-bearing debt 175, ,019 Total equity and liabilities 1,187,351 1,269,716 Gearing ratio 14.8% 13.9% Basis for consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company SN Power AS and its controlling interests in other companies as of 31 December Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date control ceases. Business combinations The purchase method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The consideration transferred in the acquisition is generally measured at fair value, as are the identifiable net assets acquired. The amount of the consideration which exceeds fair value of net identifiable assets is recorded as goodwill, and tested annually for impairment. Non-controlling interest Non-controlling interest is the share of profit and equity that is not held by the majority owners. Non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of the acquiree s identifiable net assets at the date of acquisition. Investments in associated companies and joint ventures Shares in companies where the Group exercises a significant, but not controlling influence, and shares in companies with joint control are accounted for under the equity method. Significant influence normally means that the Group owns between 20 % and 50 % of the voting capital. The Group s share of the companies net result adjusted for amortization of excess value is shown on a separate line in the consolidated income statement. The investments are shown in the consolidated balance sheet as non-current assets, recognized at the value which equals the historical cost price including directly assigned transaction costs adjusted for the accumulated share of results adjusted for depreciation and amortization of excess values during the period of ownership, dividend received and possible exchange rate adjustment. Any conversion differences are recorded directly against equity. The consolidated financial statement includes the Group s share of profit or loss from the date on which significant influence is attained and until such influence ceases. If the Group s share of losses of an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds the interest in the associate or joint venture, the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. The interest in an associate or a joint venture is the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method together with any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group s net investment in the associate or joint venture. Such items may include long-term shareholder loans that are subordinated and unsecured. Transactions eliminated on consolidation Intra-group balances and transactions, and any unrealized income and expenses resulting from intra-group transactions, are eliminated. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with associated companies and joint ventures are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment. SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

28 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Foreign operations Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency based on local operations, and items included in the financial statement of each entity are measured using that functional currency. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Group s presentation currency (USD) at the exchange rate at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to USD at the average rate for the reporting year. Foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the translation reserve, except to the extent to the extent that the translation difference is allocated to noncontrolling interest. Revenue recognition Revenue comprises the fair value for the sale of goods and services, net of value-added tax, rebates and discounts. Intra-group sales are eliminated in the group accounts. Revenue is recorded as and when earned. (a) Power sales Revenues from power sales and transmission are recognized as income when delivered. (b) Rendering of services Income from rendering of services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. (c) Dividend income Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established, normally when approved by the General Meeting. Borrowing costs Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale. Government grants Grants from the government are recognized gross in the income statement and in the balance sheet. Government grants related to costs are deferred and recognized in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants related to projects recognized in the balance sheet are presented as deferred income and recognized as income along with depreciation of the corresponding asset. Emission rights SN Power Group will in some cases receive emission rights through production of environmentally friendly energy and sell them to a third party. Such rights are considered grants which are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to it. This is generally achieved once energy is produced. Emission rights are intangible assets. They are recognized at cost if separately acquired. Emission rights received free of charge from the government are recognized at cost (nil) as allowed by IAS Financial instruments Generally Financial instruments are initially allocated to one of the categories of financial instruments as described in IAS 39. The different categories relevant to the SN Power Group and the management that follow the instruments recognized in the respective categories are described below. Valuation principles for different categories of financial instruments 1) Instruments at fair value through profit or loss Derivatives and financial instruments held for sale have to be measured at fair value in the balance sheet with corresponding change in fair value through profit and loss statement. For derivatives that are hedging instruments in a hedge accounting relationship, the change in value of the effective part of the hedge, following from a change in the value of the hedged risk, is not taken to profit or loss. In a fair value hedge such effects are carried against the value of the hedging object. For hedging of cash flow and hedging of net investments in foreign operations such effects are taken directly to equity. Derivatives consist of both independent derivatives and embedded derivatives that are separated from the host contract and recognized at fair value as if the derivative was an independent contract. 2) Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are initially recognized at fair value including transaction costs. In subsequent periods, loans and receivables are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, so that the effective interest rate becomes equal over the term of the instrument. 3) Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are initially recognized at fair value including transaction costs. In subsequent periods, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method so that the effective interest rate becomes equal over the term of the instrument. Principles for designation of financial instruments to different categories of instruments Below is a description of the guidelines applied by the SN Power Group for designation of financial instruments to different categories of financial instruments in cases where an instrument can qualify for recognition under more than one category. Instruments at fair value through profit or loss Derivatives must always be assessed under the category fair value through profit or loss. Financial contracts regarding purchase or sale of energy and CO2-quotas always have to be considered as derivative financial instruments. Physical contracts regarding purchase and sale of energy and CO2-quotas entered into as authorized by trading, or settled financially are considered as if they were financial instruments and have to be measured at fair value. Physical contracts regarding purchase and sale of energy and CO2-quotas entered into according to authorization related to own requirements or provision for own production, are normally not covered by IAS 39 as long as the contracts do not contain written options in terms of volume flexibility. Financial instruments included in hedge accounting Identification of financial instruments designated as a hedge instrument or a hedge object in a hedge account is based on the intention of the acquisition of the financial SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

29 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS instrument. If financial instruments are acquired with the intention to obtain an economic hedge effect, a closer consideration of the possibilities to document a hedge account will be made. Presentation of derivatives in profit and loss and in the balance sheet Derivatives not related to hedging are presented on separate lines in the balance sheet under assets and liabilities, respectively. Derivatives with positive and negative fair value, respectively, are presented gross in the balance sheet as long as no legal rights to set off different contracts exist, and such rights to offset actually will be applied in the current cash settlement following the contracts. In the latter case, the particular contract will be presented net in the balance sheet. In the income statement, changes in fair value of derivatives not classified as hedge accounting are classified as financial items. Value changes in energy derivatives are presented under revenue, while value changes in financial derivatives are presented under financial items. Income tax Income tax expenses comprises of current and deferred tax. It is recognized in the profit and loss except to the extent that it related to a business combination, or items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Current tax Current tax comprises the expected tax payable or receivables on the taxable income of loss for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of tax payable or receivables is the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid to or received from the tax authorities in each country. The tax rates and laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date. Current tax also include any tax arising from dividends. Deferred tax Deferred tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred income tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset within the same legal tax subject and jurisdiction. Current/non-current An asset/liability is classified as current when it is expected to be realized or settled, is intended for sale or consumption within the Group s normal operating cycle, is held primarily for the purpose of being traded, or is expected to be realized or settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date. The presentation of financial instruments in current and non-current items respectively, is made according to general guidelines for such classification. For long-term debt, the first year installment is classified as a short-term item. Intangible assets Road and land rights Expenses for intangible assets, comprising road and land rights, are recognized at historic cost to the extent that the criteria for capitalization are satisfied. Development costs Development costs are capitalized only if future economic benefits from the development of an intangible asset are probable, according to IAS 38. Development costs will often be capitalized when a construction project is more likely to happen than not. This may occur before the formal investment decision has been made. Property, plant and equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including expenses completing the asset for use, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairments. Borrowing costs for significant investments are capitalized. Expenses accrued after the asset has been taken into use, such as maintenance costs, are taken to profit or loss, while other expenses expected to generate economic benefits are recognized in the balance sheet. Water rights are not depreciated if no right of reversion exists and the value is deemed to be perpetual. Time limited rights are depreciated over the license period. Water rights acquired in a separate transaction are measured initially at cost. Water rights acquired in a business combination is measured at fair value based on the estimated excess earnings of the acquired power plant. The excess earnings are the difference between the aftertax operating cash flow and the required cost of invested capital on all other assets used in order to generate those cash flows. These contributory assets include property, plant and equipment, other identifiable intangible assets and net working capital for the power plant. The allowance made for the cost of such capital is based on the value of such assets and a required rate of return reflecting the risks of the particular assets. Depreciation is made on a straight line basis over the useful life of the asset. Useful life is assessed on an individual basis and there might be variations within the group based on given local conditions or license period. The normal useful lives for different groups of assets are presented in the table below: SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

Residual value is taken into account when calculating the annual depreciation. Land is not subject to depreciation. Periodic maintenance is capitalized with depreciation over the time period until the next maintenance is expected to be carried out. Estimated useful life, depreciation method and remaining value are reviewed annually. When assets are sold or disposed of, the capitalized value is derecognized and any loss or gain is taken to profit or loss. If new components are capitalized, the components that were replaced are removed and any remaining recognized value is recorded as a loss. Leases A lease is classified as a financial lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. With financial lease agreements, the asset is recognized in the balance sheet and depreciated. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the leasing period. Impairment of non-financial assets The carrying amount of property, plants and equipment and intangible assets are reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset s recoverable amount is estimated. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life and goodwill are not amortized, but tested for impairment at each reporting period. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generate cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash flow generating units. The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating unit is the greater of its fair value less costs of sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flow, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash flow generating unit. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or cash flow generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit and loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amounts of goodwill allocated to the cash flow generating unit, and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the cash flow generating unit on a pro rata basis. An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciations or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized. Such reversal is recognized in profit or loss. Investments in associated companies and joint ventures are tested for impairment when there are indicators of possible loss in value. An impairment loss is recognized if the recoverable amount, estimated as the higher of the fair value less cost to sell or value in use, is below the carrying amount. Trade and other receivables Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The amount of the provision is recognized in the income statement. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include bank deposits, other short-term liquid investments and bank overdrafts. Cash and cash equivalents are recognized at current values. Restricted deposits are included in cash and cash equivalents. Equity Proposed dividend is classified as equity. Dividends are reclassified to short term liabilities when approved by the General Assembly. Provisions, contingent assets and liabilities Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation (legal or self-imposed) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the obligation has to be settled and that a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made. Provisions are recognized with best estimate of the expenses required to settle the existing obligation at the balance sheet date. If significant, the time value of money is taken into account when calculating the size of the provision. Contingent assets and liabilities are not recorded in the financial statements. SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

31 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Pensions Defined benefit plans A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension that an employee will receive upon retirement, normally set as a share of the employee s salary. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized actuarial gains or losses and past service costs. The present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflow using a risk free interest rate. The obligation is calculated annually by an independent actuary using the linear accrual method. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are recognized in comprehensive income. Changes in the defined benefit obligations due to changes in pension plans are taken directly through income statement over the vesting period. Net pension assets for over-funded plans are recognized at fair value and classified as long term assets. Net pension obligations for under-funded plans and non-funded plans covered by operations are classified as long term provisions. Net pension costs for the period are included in salary and personnel costs and consist of the sum of pension earned in the period, interest costs on the estimated obligation and estimated return on the pension s fund. Defined contribution plans A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity without further obligations after the contribution has been made. Expenses related to defined contribution plans are classified as salary and personnel costs. Cash Flow Statement The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. This means presenting, on the basis of profit before tax, cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities. Dividend paid to shareholders and non- controlling interest is presented under financing activities. SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

The purchase price allocation related to the acquisition of Agua Imara AS in 2014 has been adjusted as follows; water rights / concession agreement have increased by 20 MUSD (Water rights MUSD 15.4 and Power Purchase Agreements MUSD 4.6), non-controlling interests have increased by 10 MUSD and deferred taxes have increased by 10 MUSD. Note 3 Market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk SN Power s strategic goals and ambitions as well as the geographical and cultural diversity in the countries of operation, makes it important to continuously evaluate risk factors at all levels. SN Power s core business is in regions that are, or have been politically and financially unstable. The company has a risk management framework in place, including policy and risk appetite, structure, methodology, skills, knowledge, culture and tools/system support. This framework is applied to projects in all life cycles; to new developments, projects under construction and acquisitions as well as for operating entities. Market risk Market risk is defined as risk that the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. SN Power is mainly exposed to market risk on financial instruments related to currency, interest rate and energy prices. Currency risk SN Power Group s presentation currency is US dollars (USD), and the functional currency of each subsidiary is determined from an evaluation of the primary economic environment of each company. The functional currency of each country is: USD: Panama, Norway, Zambia, Laos and Singapore ZMW: Zambia Holding PHP: Philippines SN Power Group is exposed to currency risk from transactions mainly from investments in and dividends from subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures. Companies with USD as functional currency are in many cases exposed to currency risk from local currency since a portion of the operating costs will typically be denominated in local currency. Currency risk related to the balance sheet will materialize when group companies with different functional currencies are converted to USD, like the Philippines. SN Power Group makes use of currency swaps and forward contracts to hedge all or part of the currency exposure related to new investments and other significant cash flows in foreign currency. Dividends are not hedged due to the short time from declaration to payment relative to the time horizon of the investment. The management and monitoring of foreign exchange exposure is regulated by the Group Treasury Policy owned by the Treasury Department, and the entity with foreign currency risk is responsible for compliance. The following table shows the sensitivity of financial instruments to a reasonable possible change in material currencies for the Group (consolidated companies), with all other variables held constant: Currency risk Currency Increase/ decrease in currency rate Effect on profit before tax (TUSD) 2016 NOK +10% NOK -10% NOK +10% - 1,123 NOK -10% + 1,123 Significant currency changes in associated companies will also have consequences on the income statement through application of the equity method for such investments.

33 Interest rate risk SN Power Group is exposed to interest rate risk through external debt financing in subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures. In addition there is an indirect interest rate exposure through inputs in valuations. Interest rate exposure related to the subsidiaries, associated companies and joint venture s debt financing is secured through interest rate swaps for a significant portion of the loans. SN Power s ambition for the Group s interest risk is to minimize interest costs, reduce fluctuations, and limit changes in the value of the Group s net debt. The Group`s total debt exposed to floating interest rates, exclusive associates and joint ventures, amounts to MUSD 73. NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The following table shows the sensitivity of financial instruments to a reasonable possible change in interest rate for the Group (consolidated companies), with all other variables held constant: Interest rate risk exposure Increase/ decrease in interest rate Effect on profit before tax (TUSD) % + 1,464-1% % % Credit risk Credit risk is defined as the risk of a party to a financial instrument inflicting a financial loss on SN Power Group by not fulfilling its obligation. Maximum credit risk exposure is: Short and long-term receivables on associated companies/jv's 8,399 6,083 Other long term receivables Cash and cash equivalents 219, ,971 Short term receivables 11,163 10,568 Total 239, ,690 Credit risk related to account receivables and other receivables in SN Power is limited by the fact that customers and counterparts are in different markets and in many cases are governmental institutions. On the other hand, customers are few and large and we operate in emerging markets where counter-party risk might be assessed to be higher. Handling of potential credit risk on receivables is primarily made through credit checks, establishment of bank guarantees and parent company guarantees in addition to ongoing monitoring of counterparts. To mitigate credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents, SN Power has a finance policy that regulates the maximum exposure per counterpart.

Impairment losses recognized in the year Refer to note 1 for accounting principles related to impairment and the separate section within note 1 related to judgements and estimates, especially regarding information about SN Power s process related to updating their market view and long term price forecasts. In 2016, property plant and equipment are impaired by total of USD 56 million compared to MUSD 0 in 2015 and Intangible assets og USD 8 million compared to USD 0 million in Indicators that might give rise to impairment are analyzed by local management in the subsidiaries and joint ventures and reviewed and discussed by the group management team. When indicators are identified through this review process, calculations are made to determine the recoverable value of the asset and impairment is recognized if the recoverable amount is lower than that carrying amount. Assets where the following situations exists are given special attention by SN Power Group Management; Declining market outlook and uncertain regulatory environment Uncertainties or delays in project executions Estimated revenues are based on SN Power s price forecast for power, as described in note 1. SN Power uses prices as agreed in power purchase agreements when applicable. The production volume used in the discounted cash flow analyses is the expected production volume for any given site, taking into account all expected technical and hydrological. The volume estimate is a combination of information from external sources and SN Power s internal estimates. Calculated value in use is based on a nominal discount after tax rate. However, the tax effects are considered in the calculated cash flows which means that the recoverable amounts calculated for impairment purposes are equal to the theoretical before tax model in accordance with IAS36. The discount rate represents SN Powers expectation of earnings after tax on the investments in this type of asset in the relevant market. SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

41 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Bajo Frio investment in Panama Bajo Frio is a 58 MW run of river hydropower plan in the Chiriquí Viejo Basin near the border to Costa Rica which started to generate energy in June The combination of delayed completion of the project, cost overrun and declining spot prices have had a negative impact on the future cash flows from the Bajo Frio asset. The impairment calculations show a gross impairment of USD 57 million (MUSD 4 million of intangible assets and USD 53 million of tangible assets). The calculation of recoverable amount is based on a discount rate of 8,1% (after tax). A change in the future power price of 10 % will impact impairment by approximately USD 26 million. Change of discount rate of 0.5 percentage points (before tax) will impact impairment by approximately USD 14 million. Muchinga investment in Zambia Please refer to section under Note 12 for more details on the Muchinga investment impairment. A total of USD 7 million (USD 4 million of intangible assets and USD 3 million of tangible assets) has been recognized as impairment in 2016 related to the Muchinga investment.

Project development Project development costs are capitalized only if future economic benefits from the development of an intangible asset is probable. Development costs will be capitalized as part of the construction cost of the plant and depreciation will start when the asset is put into operation. Muchinga Power Company (MPC) in Zambia has a license to develop a hydropower plant with a potential capacity of MW, downstream of the existing LHPC power plants. Capitalized project development costs in the Muchinga project was completely written down in 2016 with USD 4 million. The project has already been written down with USD 5 million in 2014 due to expected change in design for the planned new power plant. The main reason for the impairment of the Muchinga development project is uncertainties related to water rights.

The fair value of interest rate swaps and currency swaps is determined by discounting expected future cash flows to present values using observed market interest rates and exchange rates, while the valuation of forward exchange contracts is based on the observed exchange rates, of which forward exchange rates are derived. Estimated present values are tested for reasonableness against calculations made by the counter-parties in the contracts (market-to-market). Market interest rate curve is assumed for discounting derivatives. Market interest rate curve calculated based on the published swap rates from major financial institutions and credit spreads are added to the market yield curve in cases where credit risk is relevant. Fair value measurements can be classified by using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in the preparation of the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: Level 1: Non-adjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Other than the quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly as prices, or indirectly derived from prices. Level 3: Data for the asset or liability is not based on observable market data. Fair value hierarchy and fair value changes in financial derivatives is presented below, while for the remaining financial instruments are discussed in the text above. Further analysis of market risk is discussed in note 3.

52 SN POWER AS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to the financial statements FIGURES IN USD 1,000 Note 1 Summary of significant accounting principles Summary of significant accounting policies The financial statements have been presented in accordance with simplified application of international accounting standards according to the Norwegian Accounting Act 3-9. The financial statements consist of the income statement and statement of comprehensive income, balance sheet, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and notes to the financial statements. The financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position, the financial performance and the cash flows for the year. Classification Assets and liabilities related to the normal operating cycle are classified as current assets and current liabilities. Receivables and liabilities not related to the normal operating cycle are classified as current if they are of a short-term nature, normally due within one year. Shares and other investments not intended for continued use or ownership are classified as current assets. Other assets are classified as fixed assets and other liabilities as long term liabilities. Tangible fixed assets and intangible assets Tangible fixed assets and intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and write-downs. Tangible fixed assets and intangible assets with limited useful lives are depreciated over the expected useful life of the assets. Tangible fixed assets and intangible assets are written down if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and the value in use. Write-downs are reversed if the basis for the write-down is no longer present. Research costs are expensed as incurred. Development costs related to project development are capitalized only if future economic benefits from the development of an intangible asset is probable. Development costs will often be capitalized when a construction project is more probable than not. This may occur before the formal investment decision has been made. Leasing Leasing agreements are classified as financial or operational based on the actual terms and conditions of the agreement. Agreements transferring substantially all the financial rights and obligations related to the leased object to the company are classified as financial. Other lease agreements are classified as operational and the annual leasing fee is charged to profit and loss as a leasing expense. SN POWER AS Revenue recognition Sales of services are recognized as income when rendered. Other operating revenues are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Foreign currency Functional currency for the company is USD. Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet. Foreign currency gains and losses are reported in the income statement under the line items financial income or financial expenses. Investments Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost method. The investments are initially measured at the acquisition price of the shares. When it is assumed that the fair value of investments is lower than its carrying amount, the asset is written down to the recoverable amount. Previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there have been changes in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Dividends from subsidiaries are recognized when earned, which is usually when the dividend is approved by the board of directors in the subsidiaries. If an appropriation exceeds the proportion of retained profit after acquisition, the excess amount represents a repayment of invested capital, and the appropriation is deducted from the value of the investment in the balance sheet. Trade receivables Trade receivables are measured at the recoverable amount. Provisions are made for bad debts. Income taxes The tax expense is calculated from the profit (loss) before tax and comprises the current taxes and the change in deferred taxes. According to an interpretation from the Ministry of Finance, the taxable income is calculated in NOK as functional currency as opposed to USD in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated in accordance with the liability method without discounting and provided for all differences between the carrying amount in the balance sheet and the tax base of assets and liabilities, and for tax losses carried forward. Deferred tax assets are recognized on the balance sheet only when it is probable that the benefit can be utilized through future taxable profits. Pension cost Pension liabilities related to defined benefit plans are measured at the net present value of future pension benefits earned at the balance sheet date and calculated on the basis of assumptions for, among others, the discount rate, expected future wage growth and pension adjustments. Plan assets are measured at fair value. Net pension liabilities related to under-funded plans are recorded as provisions, while the net assets of over-funded plans are recorded as financial fixed assets. Net pension expense, which is gross pension expense less the expected return on plan assets adjusted for past service cost and the effects of changes in estimates, are included in salary SN POWER ANNUAL REPORT

53 SN POWER AS NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS and personnel costs. Changes in pension liabilities due to amendments in pension plans are included in net pension expense over the vesting period or immediately if the benefits are immediately vested. Changes in pension liabilities and plan assets, due to changes in and deviations from the calculation assumptions are recorded in equity. Note 2 Sales revenues In the case of pension plans that are defined as contribution plans for accounting purposes, the premiums are charged to pension expenses for the period. Cash flow statement The cash flow statement is prepared using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other monetary instruments with a maturity of less than three months at the date of purchase.
