tuations in the foreign currency and interest rate markets,<br />

and it does not carry out speculative transactions in these<br />

markets. It seeks to keep the exchange rate risk as neutral as<br />

possible by keeping revenues and costs in the same currency.<br />

The number of transactions in foreign currencies is limited.<br />

Tax Out of a total tax liability of NOK 36.8 million, tax payable<br />

Ownership structure <strong>Beerenberg</strong> Holding AS owns<br />

100% of the shares in <strong>Beerenberg</strong> Corp. AS.<br />

Risk management We have implemented a method for<br />

handling risk systematically, defining measures and following<br />

up on the effect of these measures.<br />

Market risk The group operates in the oil and gas market,<br />

which has seen significant fluctuations in performance in<br />

recent years. The market in which <strong>Beerenberg</strong> operates is to<br />

a certain extent affected by oil and gas prices. We know that<br />

the desire to invest on the Norwegian Continental Shelf will<br />

diminish in the long term. The group is intensifying its internationalisation<br />

process in order to counter lower growth<br />

on the NCS.<br />

Technology risk The market is always looking for better<br />

solutions, and it may be that the group will encounter<br />

competing products and services. In continuing to focus<br />

on engineering services and R&D we are seeking to be one<br />

step ahead by protecting our assets with patents and other<br />

property rights.<br />
