Notes<br />
Note 1 Accounting principles<br />
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and Norwegian generally<br />
accepted accounting principles<br />
Sales revenue<br />
Sales revenue is recognized at the time of delivery.<br />
Balance sheet classification and valuation<br />
Current assets and short term liabilities consist of receivables and payables due within one year, and entries related<br />
to goods in circulation. Other entries are classified as fixed assets / long term liabilities.<br />
Current assets are valued at the lower of acquisition cost and fair value. Short term liabilities are recognized at<br />
nominal value.<br />
Fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost, but in the case of impairment the asset will be written down to the<br />
recoverable amount if this is lower than the recorded amount. Recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and<br />
net realisable value. Long term liabilities are recognized at nominal value.<br />
Intangible assets / government grants<br />
Costs related to research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Government grants from SkatteFUNN<br />
related to development costs are treated as a reduction in development costs.<br />
Accounts receivable and other receivables<br />
Accounts receivable and other current receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at nominal value less provisions<br />
for doubtful debts. Provisions for doubtful debts are estimated using individual assessments of the different<br />
receivables. In addition, for the remainder of the receivables, a general provision is estimated based on expected<br />
loss.<br />
Inventories<br />
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market value. Cost is estimated using the FIFO method. Finished goods<br />
and work in progress are valued at full production cost. Impairments are carried out in case of foreseeable<br />
obsolescence.<br />
Foreign currency translation<br />
Foreign currency transactions are translated using the transaction date exchange rates. Balance sheet items are<br />
translated using the year end exchange rates.<br />
Property, plant and equipment<br />
Property, plant and equipment is capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful economic life if the assets<br />
useful life is over 3 years and the cost price is over NOK 15.000,-. Maintenance costs are expensed as incurred,<br />
whereas improvements and upgrading are added to the acquisition cost and depreciated with the asset.<br />
Pensions<br />
All the employees in the company are secured in a pension plan which is funded in an insurance company. Pension<br />
costs and pension liabilities are estimated and recognised on a straight line basis considering final salary. Pension<br />
funds are recognised at fair value and deducted from net pension liabilities in the balance sheet. This years pension<br />
cost (gross pensions cost after deduction of estimated profit from pension assets) is included in payroll expenses.<br />
The pension cost (gross) comprises of net value of the years earnings and interest of last years pension obligation.<br />
Social security costs are included in the figures.<br />
