Main POintSfrom the Divisions

in 2009, Glamox purchased 100 % of the shares in luxo ASA. taking effect on January 1, 2010, luxo and Glamox are integrated into a global group organisation. the professional Building Solutions (pBS) Division will be operative from the same date and is a merger of luxo’s operations and Glamox’s earlier european professional lighting (epl) Division. pBS is organised as an independent division within the Glamox Group with total responsibility for its own budget and results.

the purchase of luxo fits well into Glamox’s strategy for further development. luxo is a good trademark that is rich in tradition in the international

lighting markets with strong positions in many markets, especially within workplace lighting. together, Glamox and luxo will have a reinforced market position in several countries in europe, and the purchase will strengthen the product range so that we can offer a broader spectrum of lighting solutions.

luxo and Glamox have many common lines of development. they were established by strong founders just before the war and just after the war respectively. they have always had strong norwegian roots. through long-term work, both Groups have established significant operations outside of norway and they represent strong

and acknowledged trademarks globally. the merged Group will be a significant player in the lighting market with strong norwegian roots and leading positions in many international markets.

pBS develops, produces and sells lighting solutions for land-based market segments primarily in europe, but also in north America and other selected markets. in addition, in some of pBS markets, electric heaters under the Glamox Heating trademark, and produced by Adax AS, are sold. pBS has four strong trademarks, Glamox, Høvik lys, luxo and Burton.

pBS has its own sales companies in norway, Denmark, Sweden, finland,

estonia, Great Britain, ireland, Germany, uSA and Canada. in other markets, activities and products are represented through distributors/agents. pBS has its own production units in norway, Sweden, estonia and uSA.

through the purchase of luxo, Glamox is not only expanding the product range but also geographically. the product range of luxo complements Glamox’s product spectrum through a wide range of table lamps, magnifiers and special lighting for the health segment. in addition, together we will now also have a single more complete range within decorative general lighting. luxo has also developed broad competence within leD, from which the entire group will be able to benefit. in europe, Glamox and luxo primarily operate on the same markets. During the course of 2010, the sales operations in europe will merge in the individual countries. in addition, luxo has both sales and production operations in north America.

production activities are here directed to the health segment through our subsidiary, Burton Medical products.

At the end of 2009, pBS employed 859 man-labour years, of which 43 % are employed outside of norway.

pBS delivers a broad range of complete lighting solutions to different markets and market segments. the prioritised market segments are office and business building projects, industrial building projects, educational building projects and health institutions. in addition, lighting solutions are delivered to hotels, shops/shopping centres and outdoor lighting. Glamox is a market leader

for professional lighting in norway and has good market positions in other nordic countries and estonia.pBS serves all important parts in the sales and distribution chain, both architects, consultants, building owners, contractors and installers. in addition, our table lamps are sold through selected dealers. in all markets there is a strong focus on increased processing of the

descriptive element (architects and consultants) to be described in projects.

the market situation in all our primary markets has had a negative development through 2009. in norway, estonia, ireland, finland and Denmark, the decline has been especially large. the primary reason for this is a significant reduction in new construction activities within office, business and industrial building projects as a consequence of the financial crisis. relatively speaking, public building activities within education and health building projects have remained at a better level. this was a development that already started in the second half of 2008. to a greater extent than before, the uncertain state of the market has contributed to increased competition and a price press in the market. in spite of this negative trend in the development of the market, our market share is increasing in several of our primary markets. We anticipate a further decline in our most important markets in 2010.

the new pBS division had an operating result of noK 36.0m including non-recurrent costs of noK 7.7m. for a comparable activity, the result before non-recurrent costs was noK 47.9m in 2009 against noK 79.4m in 2008. the reason for the weaker result is a reduction in turnover from noK 869m in 2008 to noK 775m in 2009. in the course of 2009, capacity reductions at producing units and cost reductions were implemented. At the end of 2009, we have also closed down our production business of Høvik in Halden and have moved this production to our factory in estonia. We will not see the full effect of these measures until 2010.

in 2009, pBS has also continued its investments in product development. Several new products have been launched and several development projects have been started. luxo now has a completely new series of table lamps that are based on leD technology.

With a substantial export-oriented production with its base in norway, a stable exchange rate for the norwegian krone and moderate wage settlements are important elements for not weakening our competitiveness.

the lighting industry in europe continues to be heavily fragmented and characterised by a certain amount of over-capacity. this is reinforced by the market conditions that currently prevail. We anticipate that restructuring will continue in the years to come. in order to ensure a good development in profitability, pBS will continue to work with streamlining in order to maintain competitiveness, increased growth in volume in our individual markets and investments in product development.

vessels). there has also been a decline in the recreation boat segment due to the general decline in the market. However, there has been an increase of 20 % in the oil & gas segment. there has also been an increase in deliveries to military projects. there has been an increase in turnover in Asia, but a decline in europe. Asia represented 38 % of the turnover in this area of activity in 2009.

in 2009, Global Marine & offshore achieved total revenues of noK 720m, which is a decline of 2 % compared to 2008. the operating result was noK 65.4m against noK 67.7m in 2008. this includes noK 9.4m in non-recurrent costs. in spite of the lower revenues, the division has improved its result through an improved gross margin and good cost control.

the demand for lighting solutions is expected to be lower in 2010 than in 2008 and 2009. this is a consequence of significantly lower contracts of new construction at shipyards in 2009, which is also expected to be relatively low in

MarKet cOnDitiOnS anD MarKet SeGMentSGlobal Marine & offshore operates globally within the commercial marine, cruise and ferries, oil & gas, recreation boats, mega yachts and military marine segments. on the land project segment the division operates only in individual regions outside europe. the division is a global leader in the commercial marine and in the cruise and ferries segments. GMo has a strong position within oil and gas both in europe and Asia. furthermore, we have a strong position within the recreation boat sector in europe and uSA, especially within navigation lights.

Global Marine & offshore has a marketing model that enables it to serve all important sales and distribution channels to shipyards, ship owners, architects, consultants and installers. We encounter regional competitors in most countries, but in today’s global market there are only three to four competitors offering comparable solutions.

the market for commercial marine (merchant fleet vessels) and the oil & gas segment suffered a decline in 2009. there have been too few new orders of ships and offshore vessels. Many shipyards have had large orders in hand for 2009, and several shipyards also have orders in hand for deliveries in 2010. However, a numer of the shipyards have also experienced cancellations and delays throughout the year.

As a consequence of the decline in the market, Global Marine & offshore has had a decline in turnover within commercial marine (merchant fleet

2010. this will create uncertainty for the market situation in the future and will have an effect for GMo in 2010. Capacity adjustments have been carried out in individual factories during the second half of 2009, and reductions in costs have been better adapted to a lower level of activity in 2010.

Glamox established a company in Korea, Glamox Korea Co ltd. this company assembles lighting fixtures, maintains stocks for project deliveries and provides better technical assistance to the shipyards in Korea. the company is also developing a sales-function in order to strengthen market processing and sales efforts in the area. We expect this to strengthen our market position in Korea and create a basis for additional growth in our most important export market.

Asia will continue to be an increasingly important market for Global Marine & offshore. We are well established in the region. We have production in China, assembly operations in Korea and our own sales organisations in Korea, China and Singapore.

During 2009 GMo has also reorganized its salesorganisation. A region- and country structure has been established with clear responsibilities to support and supply all Glamox brands within each geographical area. through this change GMo hopes to even better serve its local customers with the best total lighting solution combining all the company brands.

Glamox is a norwegian industrial group that develops, manufacturers and distributes professional lighting solutions for and to the global market. Glamox operates in several european countries, as well as in Asia, uSA, and Canada. the Group is organised with Glamox ASA as parent company and with registered office in Molde, norway.

the Glamox Group acquired 100 % of the shares in the norwegian, publicly listed lighting corporation luxo ASA in 2009. unless otherwise expressly indicated, all figures for the Group include the luxo Group's figures from May 1 2009.

in 2009, the Group had an order intake of noK 1,756m compared with noK 1,655m in 2008, an increase of 6 %. the Group’s order intake adjusted for acquisition in the period, show a decline of 11 %.

the revenues were noK 1,763m, compared with noK 1,607m in 2008, an increase of 10 %. the Group's revenues adjusted for acquisition in the period, show a decline of 7 %.

the operating result was noK 124.9m, compared with noK 147.5m in 2008. the acquired luxo business has contributed in the period with a negativ result in the Group of noK 5.8m. the operating margin of comparable operations was 8.7 % in 2009, compared with 9.2 % in 2008. the operating result in 2009 has a positive one-time effect of noK 23.5m as a result of the transition from performance-based to deposit-based retirement plan for employees in norway. At the same time, the Group has had one-time costs as a result of cuts in the workforce

and reorganising the operations, of a total of noK 17.0m. the lower operating result is due to the reduced turnover as a result of the partially significant decline in most markets.

the net income before taxes was noK 108.9m, compared with noK 144.3m the previous year. in 2009, the Group has higher financing costs as a result of the acquisition of the luxo Group. We also have an agio loss in 2009 of noK 6.2m, compared with an agio gain of noK 3.8m in 2008. the result after taxes was noK 66.1m, compared with noK 117.4m the previous year. As of 31.12.2009, the Group has a tax deficit for carrying forward of noK 64m, and an untaxed profit of noK 84m.

in 2009 the Group has also had a positive cash flow from the operating activities. the cash flow from operation (operational activities and investment activities before the acquisition of luxo) of noK 162.9m, compared with noK 39.7m in 2008, is higher as a result of lower working capital and lower investments than the previous year.

the liquidity reserve ended up at noK 357m at the turn of the year, compared with noK 347m the previous year.

the turnover in the parent company Glamox ASA was noK 884m, compared with noK 928m in 2008. the operating result was noK 84.6m, compared with noK 75.2m in 2008. the net income before taxes was noK 181.7m, compared with noK 31.0m in 2008. the increase in income is due to the internal sale of shares in subsidiary companies in connection with the reorganising of the legal group structure. Also, the parent company had a positive

agio effect in 2009 of noK 40.8m compared to noK 48.3m in 2008 on foreign exchange loans that are used to neutralise fluctuations in owner shares in foreign subsidiary companies. this effect is practically neutral on Group level in 2008 as well as 2009.

in last year's report, the Board relied on a lower result in 2009 than in 2008 as a result of expecting a sinking market in 2009. the decline in the Group's main markets has partially been significant in 2009, especially in the land-based activity. this is the main reason why the Group is experiencing a decline in their results. through an offensive focus on making the most of market opportunities that still exist, the Group has seen a smaller decline in turnover than the decline in the Group's main markets would indicate. We also still have a high activity in product development and have launched several new products in the course of the year.

Considering the decline in the Group's main markets, the board is satisfied with the Group's result in 2009 and the good development in cash flow. the Board is also satisfied with the administration's significant work connected with the successful acquisition and integration of luxo. the Board thanks all employees for very good work throughout the year.

caPitaL anD LiQUiDitYAs of 31.12.2009, the balance was noK 1,106m, compared with noK 1,070m as of 31.12.2008.

At the turn of the year, the Group's equity capital was noK 435m. the equity capital was 39.3 %. Glamox ASA had an equity capital of noK

408m, and an equity ratio of 48.5 %.At year-end, distributable reserves, including other paid-incapital, was noK 324m in Glamox ASA after accrual of dividends of noK 33m.

in 2009, the operations cash flow was noK 162.9m, compared with noK 39.7m in 2008.

At the turn of the year, the liquidity reserve amounted to noK 357m, compared with noK 347m the previous year.

As of 31.12.2009, the Group has a net interest-bearing debt of noK 70.7m, compared with noK 73.3m in 2008. Compared with the operating result before depreciation of noK 180.1m this gives a ratio of 0.41.

acQUiSitiOn OF LUXO the Group purchased the lighting company luxo in the second quarter of 2009. the purchase amount including transaction charges amounted to noK 116m. in 2008, the luxo Group had a turnover of noK 496m.

luxo is a good trademark with long traditions in the international lighting markets, specially in workplace lighting. the acquisition will contribute to solidifying the Group's market position in several countries, especially in northern europe. through an expanded and very interesting product portfolio, one will be able to offer several alternative lighting solutions focusing on energy efficiency, good design, high quality, and right ergonomics. luxo and its subsidiary companies are integrated in the Glamox Group's organisation as of January 1 2010. luxo's operations have been merged with the Group's land-based operation european professional lighting (epl) to a new division, professional Building Solutions (pBS). to simplify the legal company structure, a number of mergers are being carried out during the 1st half of 2010 in several european countries.

DeVeLOPMent in eacH BUSineSS area the Group has experienced a decline in the market situation throughout entire 2009. As a result of the market development, the Group has carried out several measures to adapt the capacity at several of the factories and the rest of the Group. the Group has carried out discharges, temporary lay-offs and reduced working hours. through extraordinary measures, the material costs for several input

factors in the manufacture have also been successfully reduced.

in 2009, the Group also has had a high activity in product development and several new product series have been launched.

european Professional Lighting (ePL) in 2009, the business area achieved an order intake of noK 782m (noK 873m), a decline of 10 %. in the same period, the revenues was noK 775m (noK 869m), which is a decline of 11 %. the decline in order intake as well as in revenues is the result of significant market decline in all main markets. However, the decline is less than the total market decline in several of our main markets.

the business area has a decline in results in 2009. the decline is due to the reduced revenues as a result of the negative market development. the business area has carried out a number of cost reducing measures to adapt to the lower revenues level. in the third quarter, it was decided to shut down the manufacturing operations Høvik lys produksjon in Halden, norway. the manufacturing of these products has been moved to the Group's manufacturing facility in estonia.

the operating result for 2009 was noK 41.8m (5.4 %), compared with noK 79.4m (9.1 %) last year.the results for 2009 were charged with noK 6.1m in non-recurring expenses associated with the reorganisation of the business.

the development of the markets where epl is represented, showed a significant decline in 2009, compared with the previous year. the picture is somewhat more complex between the markets, but all markets showed decline. epl has taken market shares in several of the main markets.

in 2009 we have also seen an increasing interest in energy-economising lighting solutions. in 2009 the area of operation has also launched several new products.

With a significant export-oriented manufacturing in norway, the business area relies on a stable exchange rate for the norwegian krone and moderate wage settlement as important elements in maintaining competitiveness.

Global Marine & Offshore (GMO)the business area had an order intake of noK 687m (noK 782m ), a decline of 12 %. the turnover was noK 720m (noK 737m), a decline of 2 %.

there has been a decline in the market in 2009, specially during the second half. the shipyards have received few new orders for ships and offshore vessels. Many shipyards had a large order reserve for 2009 at the start of the year, and several of these shipyards still have order reserves for delivery in 2010. Many shipyards have had cancellations and significant delays throughout the year.

As a result of the decline in the market, Global Marine & offshore has had setbacks in commercial marine (merchant fleet ships). there has also been a setback in the recreational boat segment,

also due to the general decline in the market. However, there has been an increase in the oil & Gas segment of approx. 20 %, as well as an increase in deliveries to military projects. there has been an increase in turnover in Asia, but a decline in europe. Asia constituted 38 % of the turnover in 2009.

the results for 2009 were charged with noK 9.4m in non-recurring expenses assosicated with the reorganisation of the business. the operating result was noK 65.4m (9.1 %), compared with noK 67.7m (9.2 %) in 2008.

We are expecting the demand for lighting solutions in the market segment Marine & offshore to be lower in 2010 than 2008 as well as 2009. this is a consequence of significantly lower contracts for new constructions in 2009, which is also expected to be low throughout 2010. During the second half of the year, measures are taken to reduce costs and the capacity to adapt the operations to a lower turnover.

Asia is becoming an increasingly more important market for Global Marine & offshore. it is a demanding market to work, and the business area will continue to intensify the sales and market promotion in this region. this applies especially in China, Korea, and the Middle east. in 2009, GMo has established an installation and sales operation in Korea in order to be better able to serve the local market.

Luxoluxo is mainly in the same markets as the area of operations epl. for table lamps, however, the market has seen a greater decline than in general lighting.

the north-American market has also shown significant decline in 2009.luxo has a decline in its turnover which largely is in line with the general market decline.

Several new products have been launched in 2009, which have been well received in the market. these new products are largely based on leD technology.

the acquisition of luxo has contributed with a negative operating result of noK 5.8m from the time of acquisition. the results for 2009 were charged with noK 1.6m in non-recurring expenses assosicated with the reorganisation of the business. the market and cost synergies as a result of the acquisition have only to a small degree had effect in 2009. So far, the effect of the acquisition has been in line with the premises laid by Glamox.

GLaMOX anD tHe eXternaL enVirOnMentAs part of the Group's business idea, Glamox shall, through systematic and long-term work, position itself as an environmental company.

the Group's manufacturing units in Molde, Kirkenær, Germany, and Sweden are certified in accordance with en iSo 14001. the units fulfil the strictest requirements to environmental control and are obliged to document an environmental control system.

in 2009, the company continued its efforts to reduce the hazardous chemicals and replace the most hazardous products with more environmentally friendly products.

the environmental aspects are included as an important part of our product development. through energy effective products and solutions, we aim at making the most of market opportunities, such as eu's energy directive for construction.

HUMan reSOUrceS anD WOrK enVirOnMent the number of man-labour years was 1,294 as of 31.12.2009, compared with 1,110 in 2008. At the turn of the year, the number of man-labour years in Glamox ASA was 400, compared with 466 in 2008.

the work environment in the Group units is satisfactory, and there is good collaboration with the employee representatives.

in 2009, sick leave in Glamox ASA was 8.1 %, compared with 7.1 % in 2008. the company is not satisfied with the high level of sick leave. lower sick leave is important in order to maintain the necessary competitiveness. in 2010, less sick leave will also continue to be on the agenda. Sick leave in the other Group units varies.

there were two cases of injury that lead to absence from work in Glamox ASA in 2009, while six were reported in 2008. in 2009 the H-value was 3.2, compared with 9.3 in 2008. the H-value is a defined standard measurement size for the frequency of injuries in a company. focus on making the work environment safe will continue with unabated effort in 2010. the number of reported injuries in the Group's other units was limited in 2009.

reMUneratiOnregarding remuneration to the board, management and auditor, we refer to note 5 in the annual accounts.

SHareHOLDer SitUatiOnregarding shareholder situation, we refer to note 12 in the annual accounts.

PrOPOSaL FOr aLLOcatiOn OF PrOFitthe board proposes that the year's result in Glamox ASA of tnoK 147,772 is used in the following way:- transferred to other equity capital: tnoK 114,778- Allocation to dividend: tnoK 32,994

PrOSPectSthe Board bases both business areas of operation on a declining market in 2010. there is also significant uncertainty as to how large the decline will be.

the Group's long-term strategy with focus on profitable organic growth, remains. Due to ongoing declines in the markets, however, we are not counting on organic growth in 2010. the acquisition of the luxo Group provides greater opportunities to make the most of the existing market opportunities. By integrating the sales organisation of luxo and Glamox during 2010, positions in shared markets will be strengthened. the acquisition of luxo also provides for cost synergies on several levels. in 2009, a number of cost reducing measures were also put in place, which will have an effect on the entire year of 2010, at the same time as new measures are regularly being considered.

for the year as a whole, the board expects a somewhat lower result than in 2009.

the annual accounts, which are prepared by the Board and management, must be read in the context of the annual report and the auditor’s report.

the annual accounts and consolidated accounts comprise the profit and loss account, balance sheet, cash flow statement and notes and are prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, the Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting policy in norway applicable as at 31st of December 2009. All figures in the annual accounts and notes are shown in noK thousands unless otherwise specified.

the annual accounts and consolidated accounts are prepared on the basic principles of historic cost, comparability, continued operation, congruency and prudence. transactions are incorporated into the accounts at the value of the payment at the time of the transaction. revenue is incorporated into the profit and loss account when it is earned and costs are grouped with accrued income. Hedging and portfolio management are taken into account. the accounting policies are explained in more detail below.

Subsidiaries and associated companies in parent company

‘Subsidiaries’ refers to companies in which Glamox normally has a shareholding of more than 50%, in which investment is long-term and strategic and in which the company has a controlling interest. Subsidiaries are incorporated into the company accounts at the lowest of cost price or actual value.

‘Associated companies’ refers to companies in which Glamox normally has a shareholding of 20-50%, in which investment is long-term and strategic and in which the Group has a significant influence. Associated companies are entered in the company accounts at the lowest of cost price or actual value. for the time being the parent company does not have any assosiated companies.

consolidation policies

consolidated companiesthe consolidated accounts include companies in which the parent company and the subsidiaries directly or indirectly have a control-ling interest. the consolidated accounts show the companies’ financial position, profit/loss from the year’s activities and cash flow as a single financial entity. Controlling interest is achieved through direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the voting capital. uniform accounting policies are applied to all group companies. recently acquired subsidiaries are incorporated from the time a controlling interest is achieved and sold subsidiaries are incorporated until the time of sale.

in the case of gradual purchase of shareholdings, figures are based on the value of assets and liabilities at the time of incorporation into the Group. Subsequent purchase of shareholdings in existing subsidiaries will not effect the valuation of assets and liabilities, apart from added value in the form of goodwill, which will be analysed for each acquisition

elimination of internal transactionsAll significant intercompany transactions and intercompany balances are eliminated.

elimination of shareholdings in subsidiariesShareholdings in subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidated accounts in accordance with the acquisition method. the difference between the cost price of shareholdings and the book value of net assets at the time of acquisition is analysed and classified under the individual balance sheet items in accordance with actual value. Any further additional cost caused by expectations of future earnings is capitalised as goodwill and depreciated in the profit and loss account in line with underlying conditions and anticipated financial life.

conversion of foreign subsidiariesthe conversion of foreign subsidiaries from local currency into norwegian kroner is for balance sheet items done at the exchange rate 31.12.08 and for profit and loss items at the year average rate. the discrepancy created by converting the company’s opening equity and profit for the year at a different exchange rate is posted on the Groups profit and loss account as financial items.

Minority intereststhe minority interests’ share of profit after tax and equity are shown as separate items in the profit and loss account and balance sheet.

associated companies

Associated companies’ normally refers to companies in which the Group has a shareholding of 20-50%, in which investment is long-term and strategic and in which the Group has a significant influence. Associated companies are incorporated into the consolidated accounts in accordance with the equity method. for the time beeing the Group does not have any assosiated companies.

General policiesAssets/liabilities associated with the product cycle and items to be repaid within one year of the date of the balance sheet are classified as current assets/current liabilities. Current assets/current liabilities are valued at the lower/higher value of acquisition cost and actual value. Actual value is defined as anticipated future sale price minus anticipated sale costs. other assets are classified as fixed assets. fixed assets are valued at acquisition price. fixed assets that deteriorate are depreciated. if a permanent change in value occurs, the fixed asset is written down. Similar policies are normally applied to liabilities.

When using accounting policies and presenting transactions and other conditions, emphasis is placed on financial reality, not just legal practice. Conditional loss that is significant and quantifiable is entered as expenditure. Division into segments is based on the company’s internal management and reporting objectives, as well as risk and income. figures are presented for business areas as well as geographical markets if geographical categorisation of activities is significant to the assessment of the company. the figures are reconciled with the profit and loss account and balance sheet.

accounting policy for significant account items

crediting the profit and loss accountincome is credited to the profit and loss account when it is earned. this means that the profit and loss account is normally credited at the time of delivery for the sale of goods and services.

charging as expenditure/groupingexpenses are grouped with and charged as expenditure at the same time as the income to which the expenses can be linked. expenses that cannot be directly linked to income are entered as expenditure when they arise. in the case of restructuring and winding up of activities, all associated expenses are entered as expenditure, when the decision of restructuring and winding up is taken.

Other operating income/expensesSignificant income and expenses that are not associated with ordinary activities are classified as other operating income and expenses. items that are unusual, occur sporadically and are significant are classified as extraordinary.

intangible fixed assetsintangible assets that are expected to generate income in the future, such as goodwill in subsidiaries, rights and it systems, are capi-talised. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the financial life of the assets. expenses associated with research and development are entered as expenditure on a continuous basis.

tangible fixed assetstangible fixed assets are entered in the balance sheet at acquisition cost minus accumulated depreciation and write-downs. if the actual value of a piece of equipment is lower than its book value for reasons that are considered to be permanent in nature, the equipment is written down to actual value. expenses associated with periodical maintenance and repairs to production equipment are periodized. expenses associated with standard maintenance and repairs are continuously charged as expenditure. expenses associated with large-scale replacements and updates that significantly extend the lifetime of the equipment are capitalised. operating equipment is considered a tangible fixed asset if it has a financial life of more than three years and a cost price of more than noK 15 000. operating equipment leased under conditions which to all intents and purposes transfer financial rights and obligations to Glamox (financial leasing) are capitalised as operating equipment and entered as a commitment under interest-bearing liabilities at the current value of the minimum current rent. operational leasing is charged as expenditure at ordinary rental cost and classified as ordinary operating expenses.

Depreciationordinary depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the financial life of the operating equipment, based on historic cost. A similar policy applies to intangible fixed assets. Depreciation is classified as ordinary operating expenses. leasing costs entered in the balance sheet are depreciated in accordance with the plan and liability is reduced by rent paid minus calculated interest.

Stock and raw materials and consumablesStocks of products are valued at the lower of cost price on a ‘first-in-first-out’ basis and anticipated sale price. Cost price for manufac-tured goods comprises direct materials, direct salary plus a proportion of indirect manufacturing costs, whereas cost price for purchased goods is the acquisition cost. raw materials and consumables used for the year consist of the cost price of sold goods with a supple-ment for write-downs in accordance with standard accounting practice at year-end.

receivablesreceivables are entered at nominal value minus anticipated loss.

Pension commitments and pension expensesuntil 31.10.2009 the parent company and norselight AS had a performance-based retirement plan. the performance-based retirement plan was replaced with a deposit-based retirement plan. further, the norwegian companies also operate an early retirement plan for the employees. the company and one of its subsidiaries in norway have also entered into unsecured pension arrangements for executive and supplementary pension for former employees. the future obligations in connection with these agreements are computed annually by an independent actuary and are included in the record pension liabilities in the balance.

pension schemes for the the norwegian companies are booked according to the iAS19 standard. pension commitments are calculated on linear accrual based on assumed number of years worked, discount rate, future return on pension reserves, future adjustment of wages, pensions and national insurance provisions and actuarial assumptions regarding mortality, voluntary redundancy etc. pension reserves are valued at actual value. net pension commitments consist of gross pension commitments minus the actual value of pension reserves. net pension commitments on under-financed schemes are entered in the balance sheet as a long-term, interest-free liability, whereas net pension reserves on over-financed schemes are entered as a long-term interest-free receivable if it is probable that the over-financing can be utilised.

Changes in the pension commitment that are due to changes in the pension plans are posted direct against equity. Changes in the pension commitment and pension reserves that are due to changes in and deviation from the calculation forecasts (estimate changes) are posted direct against equity.

net pension expenses – gross pension expenses minus estimated return on pension reserves, adjusted for the effect of changes to estimates and pension plans – are classified as ordinary operating expenses and are shown with salaries and other payments.

Deferred tax and taxDeferred tax is calculated on the basis of temporary differences between accounting and tax values at the end of the financial year. A nominal tax rate is used in the calculation. positive and negative differences are valued against each other in the same time intervals. Certain items are still valued separately, including added value from acquisitions and pension commitments. Deferred tax asset occurs if there are temporary differences that create tax deductions in the future. tax for the year consists of changes in deferred tax and deferred tax asset, together with tax payable for the year, adjusted for errors in the previous year’s calculations.

cash flow statementthe cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents includes cash, bank deposits and other current liquid resources that can immediately and with a minimal currency risk be converted into known cash amounts and with a due date of less than three months from the date of acquisition.

the pension schemes are handled in the accounts according to iAS - starting in 2007. estimated deviations from previous years were recognized in the balance sheet and charged to equity. this year's estimated deviations are also charged directly against equity.

until 31.10.2009, the parent company and norselight, had a performance based pension retirement plan. this plan was transferred to a deposit-based retirement plan from 01.11.2009. the Group's norwegian companies operate an early retirement scheme for their employees (Afp). the Group's norwegian companies have pension schemes that include all employees over the age of 20 years old and who hold more than a 20% position.

the company’s and the Group’s expenses on research and development are chareged to profits when they arise. r&D through acquisi-tion are still posted in balance sheet.

the liquidity reserve is a result of summing up the overdraft facility lines for each of the Group companies, reduced with the drawn credit, and added all cash on hand and deposits. the liquidity reserve for the Group is organized in a Multi Currency Cashpool. this implies that the cash deposit of the subsidiaries formally are account receivables towards the parent company, and all participating group companies are jointly responsible for overdraft within the Cashpool. Accounts with deposit and debt within the cashpool are netted in the group balance sheet. locked-up deposits in Glamox ASA amount to noK 7.8m. locked-up depositis in norwegian Group companies amount to noK 10.0m.

related parties are Group companies, major shareholders, board and senior management in the parent company and the group subsidiaries. Agreements on remuneration for Group Management appear in note 5. no transactions or agreements of significance were entered into with related parties in 2009 or in the financial years for which comparison figures are given, other than standard business transactions with subsidiaries and associated companies.

the Group’s attitude and aims relating to financial market risk are important in the assessment of earnings and value.

this note deals with what interest and currency risk the group is exposed to and what means are used to manage the risk in check.

a) interest risk and control

the aim of the Glamox Group is to follow the general long-term development in money market interest levels. the effects of short-term fluctuations in money market interest levels can be reduced by controlling the loan portfolio’s average interest duration and by managing when the interest fixing is due.

underlying loan agreements and financial instruments (interest derivatives) can be used to partly manage the interest risk.

interest-bearing liabilities at 31.12.09 are noK 278m. of these noK 109m are noK liabilities. As of 31.12.09, the company had noK 63m of fixed interest loans where the noK liabilty part was noK 39m.

net interest-bearing liabilities, including bank deposit, was noK 71m at 31.12.09. Based on the loan portfolio at 31.12.09, the Group’s interest expenses on an annual basis will change by approximately noK 0.1m for each 1% change in interest.

b) currency risk and control

operational cash flow (transaction risk)

Glamox is exposed to transaction risk by purchasing and selling in different currencies. purchase and production expenses are mainly in noK and eur, with sales mainly in noK, eur, SeK, DKK, GBp and uSD.

Glamox aims to minimize the risk of value changes in net cash flow due to short-term fluctuations in exchange rates. transaction risk is controlled by means of internal invoicing rules, matching of income and expenses in the same currency and by using financial instruments (forward contracts and currency options).

By 31.12.09 the Group had forward contracts on sales of current currencies. the total sales amount was noK 17m based on 31.12.09 rates.

Equity in foreign subsidiaries

Glamox is exposed to book value changes in equity in foreign subsidiaries. Changes in the value of equity for foreign subsidiaries are partly offset by loans in the same currency.
