O) Equity<br />

(i)Treasury shares<br />

Own equity instruments which are reacquired (treasury shares) are<br />

re cognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is required<br />

in the income statement on the purchase, sale or cancellation of the<br />

Group’s own equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying<br />

amount and the consideration, if reissued, is recognised in share premium.<br />

(ii) Costs related to equity transactions<br />

Transaction costs directly related to an equity transaction and the tax<br />

effect on the equity transaction are recognised directly in equity net of<br />

tax.<br />

(iii) Hedge reserves<br />

Hedge reserves include accumulated net changes in fair value for<br />

financial instruments used as cash flow hedges (hedges of forecasted<br />

sales and interest hedges), which are recognised to the statement of<br />

comprehensive income on an ongoing basis.<br />

(iv) Fair value of shares<br />

Shares at fair value include the total accumulated net changes in fair<br />

value of financial instruments classified as available for sale.<br />

(v) Foreign currency translation differences<br />

Foreign currency translation differences are recognised in the statement<br />

of comprehensive income. Upon the disposal of all or part of a foreign<br />

entity, the accumulated translation differences are recognised, including<br />

the accompanying reversal in the statement of comprehensive income.<br />

currency”.<br />

P) Provisions<br />

Provisions are recognised when the Group has an obligation as a result<br />

of a past event, and when it is probable that there will be a financial<br />

settlement as a result of this obligation and the amount can be measured<br />

reliably. In general, provisions are based on historical data and a<br />

weighting of possible outcomes against the probability that they will<br />

occur. When historical information is not available, other sources are<br />

used to estimate the provisions. If the time value is material, provision<br />

are determined at the net present value of the liability.<br />

Warranty provisions<br />

Provisions for warranty costs are recognised when the underlying products<br />

or services are sold. Warranty provisions are based on historical<br />

data on warranties, where such information is available, and on a<br />

weighting of possible outcomes against the probability that they will<br />

occur. Warranty costs are expensed on an ongoing basis based on the<br />

percent of completion of the projects, and reclassified as provisions for<br />

warranties upon delivery.<br />

Restructuring<br />

Provisions for restructuring are recognised when the Group has<br />

approved a detailed, formal restructuring plan, and restructuring has<br />

either started or been announced publicly among the parties involved.<br />

Onerous contracts<br />

Provisions for onerous contracts are recognised when KONGSBERG’s<br />

expected revenues from a contract are lower than the unavoidable<br />

expenses of meeting its obligations under the contract.<br />

Q) Employee benefits<br />

Defined contribution pension plans<br />

The Group introduced a defined contribution pension scheme for all<br />

employees in Norway under age 52 as from 1 January 2008. Employees<br />

with defined benefit plans, aged 52 and older at the time of the<br />

transition, stayed with that scheme. Most of KONGSBERG’s companies<br />

abroad have defined contribution pension plans. The contribution is<br />

expensed as they accrue and are shown as payroll expenses in the<br />

income statement.<br />

Defined benefit pension plans<br />

Pension benefits depend on the individual employee’s number of years<br />

of service and salary level upon reaching retirement age. There are also<br />

early retirement plans for some executives. To ensure uniform calculation<br />

of KONGSBERG’s pension liabilities, all corporate entities have used<br />

the same actuary for calculations. In the income statement, the year’s<br />

net pension expenses, after a deduction for the expected return on<br />

pen sion plan assets, have been recognised as “personnel expenses”.<br />

The statement of financial position shows net pension liabilities included<br />

social security contributions. The financial and actuarial assumptions are<br />

subject to annual review. The discount rate is based on the long-term<br />

government bond interest rate, plus a supplement that reflects the<br />

duration of the pension liability. Actuarial gains or losses attached to<br />

changes in the basis data, estimates and changes in assumptions are<br />

recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. The Group’s<br />

legal liability is not affected by the treatment of pensions for accounting<br />

purposes.<br />

Share transactions with employees<br />

For a number of years, the Group has been conducting a share program<br />

for all employees, i.e. offering shares at a discounted price. Discounts on<br />

shares are recognised as payroll expenses.<br />

R) Earnings per share<br />

The Group presents ordinary earnings per share and diluted earnings per<br />

share. Ordinary earnings per share are calculated as the ratio of net<br />

profit/(loss) that accrues to the ordinary shareholders and weighted<br />

average number of ordinary shares outstanding.<br />

The figure for diluted earnings per share is the profit that accrues to<br />

the ordinary shareholders, and the number of weighted number of shares<br />

outstanding, adjusted for all diluting effects related to share options.<br />

S) New improved standards and interpretations<br />

Standards that have been implemented and have an impact on financial<br />
