which result in recognition of indemnification assets of approximately NOK 150 million. The fair value of <strong>Hydro</strong>'s previous<br />

The majority of receivables were towards shareholders related to their right and obligation to purchase products from the<br />
entities. Receivables have been collected.<br />
<strong>Hydro</strong> has elected to utilize the option to measure non-controlling interests (minority interests) at their proportionate share of<br />
the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Minority interests are recognized with NOK 4,154 million related to the 49 percent<br />
minority in Albras, with NOK 2,200 million related to the 9 percent minority in Alunorte and with NOK 116 million related<br />
to the 19 percent minority in CAP. Goodwill is measured at NOK 3,499 million. Goodwill is allocated to one cash generating<br />
unit in Bauxite & Alumina. The main reasons for identification of goodwill are synergies in the common location of plants and<br />
mine and the difference between nominal value and fair value of deferred tax. No amount of goodwill is expected to be<br />
deductible for tax purposes.<br />
<strong>Hydro</strong> had existing contracts and balances with Vale Aluminium, primarily an off-take arrangement for alumina as part of the<br />
equity investment in Alunorte including related payables, receivables and loans. In addition, the acquiree held certain long-term<br />
sales contracts with <strong>Hydro</strong>. The fair value of the contracts has been determined to be a liability for the acquiree because the<br />
contract terms were below market value at the time of acquisition. The difference was accounted for as settlement of a preexisting<br />
relationship resulting in a credit to Other income, net, of NOK 267 million. In addition, an existing loan to Alunorte<br />
at below market interest was accounted for as settlement of a pre-existing loan resulting in a charge of NOK 68 million<br />
included in Other income, net. These amounts have been excluded from the purchase price and purchase accounting.<br />
Acquisition related costs incurred during 2011 were approximately NOK 20 million, in total for the transaction approximately<br />
NOK 90 million, included in operating costs.<br />
Results of the acquired businesses are included in <strong>Hydro</strong>'s consolidated income statement as of February 28, 2011. The<br />
acquired businesses are an integral part of <strong>Hydro</strong>'s operations and are not reported separately. The acquired businesses<br />
contributed about NOK 11,500 million to the group's revenue in the period after acquisition, and about NOK 330 million to<br />
EBIT.
