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 />

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 />
