Notes to the 2011 financial statements NOTE 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION SOI Holding AS is a limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Norway, with the head office in Rolfsbuktveien 4 at Fornebu in Bærum municipality. The Company has subsidiaries in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. SOI Holding AS was established on 19 September 2008. The financial statements were approved by the Board of SOI Holding on 28 March 2012for adoption at the General Meeting on 28 March 2012. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The most significant accounting principles applied in the preparation of SOI Holding AS and SOIl Holding are described below. The 2011 financial statements for the and Parent Company have been prepared in accordance with the regulation on simplified application of the international financial accounting standards, ref. the Accouningt Act section 3-9 fifth paragraph. Basis of preparation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in Norwegian kroner and on a historical cost basis. If not otherwise indicated, all amounts are in NOK000 (TNOK). Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements comprise SOI Holding AS and subsidiaries when the Parent Company or other subsidiaries have controlling influence. The accounts have been prepared as if the was one financial unit. Transactions and balances between the companies have been eliminated, and consistent accounting policies have been applied. Subsidiaries in the accounts are accounted for on the basis of the Parent Company's acquisition cost. Values in excess of book values have been analysed and allocated to the relevant balance sheet items. Excess values that cannot be attributed to individual assets or liabilities, are classified as goodwill. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date when the obtained control, and continue to be consolidated until such control ceases. The subsidiaries are recognised at cost in the financial statements of the Parent Company. Translation of foreign subsidiaries The financial statements of the various units are measured using the functional currency of the area where they operate. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian kroner, being the functional as well as the presentation currency of the Parent Company. In the translation of foreign currency to Norwegian kroner, balance sheet items are translated to Norwegian kroner at the currency rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Income statement balances are translated at quarterly average exchange rates. Any currency differencies are set-off against equity. Foreign exchange adjustments of long-term receivables on foreign subsidiaries are taken directly to equity when they should be considered as part of the net investment in the company. Estimates In order to prepare financial statements in accordance with the IFRS, management is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions affecting the accounting principles and the recognised assets and liabilities, revenue and costs. Estimates and relevant assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable in the circumstances. These calculations are the basis for assessments of the balance sheet recorded values of assets and liabilities that are not evident from other sources. Estimates and the underlying assumptions are assessed on a regular basis. Changes in accounting estimates are recognised in the period they occur if they apply only to that period. In the event that changes also concern future periods, the effect is proportioned on the current and future periods. Estimates and assumptions representing a risk for changes in recognised values on assets and liabilities in the course of the next accounting year, concern the following balance sheet items, and are described in more detail in the notes stated: Goodwill and other intangible assets (note 5), deferred tax assets (note 7) and provisions for project income (note 11). Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is recognised in the balance sheet and depreciated over the expected useful life. Investments related to rented premises are depreciated over the remaining lease period. Goodwill The difference between the cost on acquisition and fair value of net identifyable assets at the time of acquisition is classified as goodwill. Goodwill is recognised at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is not depreciated, but is tested at least once a year for impairment at the balance sheet date or more often should there be any indication of a fall in value. Goodwill is allocated to the relevant cash-generating units. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets comprise identifyable assets and are related to in-house developed property, plant and equipment and allocated value from the acquisition of businesses. Intangible assets are depreciated over their expected useful life when this period is considered to be limited. Intangible assets with an indefinite economic life are not depreciated, but tested for impairmen teach year. Development costs are classified as intangible assets if it is probable that the company will profit from the expected future economic benefit attributable to the asset, if the acquisition cost can be reliably measured and possible to separate. Capitalised costs comprise material costs, direct salary costs and a share of directly attributable joint expenses. Capitalised development costs are recognised in the balance sheet at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Such costs are depreciated over the asset's estimated time of use. Intangible assets in progress are not depreciated, but tested once a year for impairment or more often shouldthere be any indication of a fall in value. Other research and development costs are expensed when incurred. Impairment of non-financial assets Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets with an indefinite economic life are not depreciated, but are assessed for impairment each year. Property, plant and equipment and intangible assets that are depreciated are assessed for impairment when there are indications to the effect that future earnings cannot justify the balance sheet value. In the event that the recoverable amount is lower than the balance sheet value, the difference is taken to the income statement. The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less sales costs and value in use. Main principle for the assessment and classification of assets and liabilities Assets for permanent ownership or use are classified as non-current assets. Other assets are non-current assets. The same criteria apply for liabilities. Non-current assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value. The same principle applies for short-term debt. Non-current assets are valued at cost, but written down to fair value when the declining value is not expected to be temporary. Non-current assets with a limited economic life are written down according to plan. Long-term debt is recognised at its nominal value.
Financial assets The classifies financial assets in the balance sheet under the categories assets available-for-sale, loans and receivables. They are classified as non-current assets unless due later than 12 months after the balance sheet date. Loans and receivables are classified as "trade receivables", "other receivables" and "cash and cash equivalents" in the balance sheet. Financial assets are recognised at fair value. Financial assets available-for-sale are included in non-current assets unless management plans to sell the investment within 12 months from the balance sheet date. Trade receivables are initially recognised at fair value and then at amortised cost less a provision for incurred losses considered to equal fair value. The provision for losses is made on the basis of an individual assessment of each receivable. Leasing Leasing agreements are classified as finance or operating leases depending on the real content of the agreements. When the lessee assumes most of the risk and return associated with the ownership of the asset, it is considered to be a finance lease, and the relevant asset and liability are recognised in the balance sheet. Other leasing agreements are classified as operating leases, and the annual leasing fee is expensed as leasing costs. Inventories Finished goods are valued at the lower of cost according to the FIFO principle og net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated sales price less sales costs. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash, bank deposits and other short-term, easily realisable investments with an original term of three months, and drawings on bank overdrafts. Share capital and share premium Ordinary shares are classified as equity. At the acquisition of treasury shares, the proceeds, including any transaction costs, reduce equity. Income taxes Income taxes in the income statement comprise both the period's payable tax and the change in deferred tax. Deferred tax benefits are calculated at 28 % on the basis of the temporary differences between book and tax values, and any tax related loss to carry forward at the closing of the accounting year. Tax increasing and tax reducing temporary differences that reverse or can reverse in the same period, are netted. Deferred tax assets are recognised in the balance sheet when future taxable profit is probable, and that the temporary differences can be deducted from taxible profit. Pensions The has collective (secured) pension schemes for some of its employees. The schemes are defined benefit plans, i.e., the Company has the financial responsibility for the pension. The net obligation concerning the defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each scheme by estimating the size of the future benefit earned by the employee through his/her work contribution during the accounting year and former periods. These future benefits are discounted in order to calculate the present calue, and the fair value of the pension funds are deducted to arrive at the net obligation. The discount interest rate applied is the interest rate on Norwegian government securities at the balance sheet date with approximately the same term as the 's obligations. Linear earnings and the expected terminal pay constitute the basis for the earnings. Plan changes are amortised over the expected remaining earning time, being 15 years. The same applies for estimate deviations to the extent that theyexceed 10 % of the larger of pension obligations and pension funds (corridor). In the recognition of pension funds and pension obligations, estimated values have been applied at the closing of the accounts. The estimated values are adjusted each year in accordance with calculations performed by an independent actuary. Provisions The makes provisions for environmental improvements, restructurings and legal claims when (1) a legal or self-imposed obligation as aconsequence of previous event exists,(2) it is more probable than not that the obligation will have to be settled by a transfer of financial resources (3) and the size of the obligation can be estimated with sufficient reliability. Provisions for restructuring costs comprise termination fees on leasing contracts and severance pay to employees. Provisions for fixed-price projects expected to generate a loss are based on individual assessments. Recognition of income /expense Income from the sale of licences is recognised in the income statement when the delivery has taken place and most of the risk and return is assumed by the purchaser. This normally happens when the purchase contract is signed.

NOTE 3- FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The s' activities entail various types of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk og liquidity risk. The 's risk management is focused on minimizing the potential negative effects on the 's financial results. Risk management for the is basically decentralised at a country level. Management in each country is responsible for identifying, evaluating and securing financial risk. Should significant risk areas be identified, they are brought to management's attention for evaluation and consideration of further action. Market risk The 's financial market risk mainly concerns the Company's interest-bearing debt to credit institutions and Borea, together with long-term currency loans from Software Innovation AS to foreign subsidiaries. The 's budget and liquidity prognoses for 2012 are considered to be reliable. Any capital needs will be covered by using established credit facilities and, if required, new loans. Currency risk: The operates on an international basis and is exposed to currency risk in several currencies. This risk is particularly relevant for SEK and DKK. Currency risk arises as a consequence of future trading transactions, assets recognised in the balance sheet and liabilities in foreign currencies. Foreign currency loans in the have not been secured against currency fluctuations, but the market risk is considered to be limited due to the size of the loans and the historical level of fluctuations in these currencies. There is also a high degree of correlation between where the income is earned and the corresponding costs arise. The has the following receivables and debt in foreign currencies at 31 December: Receivables Debt 2011 2010 2011 2010 SEK 16 695 13 013 13 273 11 330 DKK 33 186 33 332 21 267 19 109 EUR 0 140 0 81 USD 0 0 0 3 GBP 0 371 0 0 SOI Holding AS has no receivables or debt in foreign currencies at 31 December 2011. Interest rate risk: The 's interest rate risk concerns a short-term loan from the 's majority owner. The 's interest rate risk is considered to be low, as the loan has a fixed annual interest. During 2011, the 's loan at a fixed interest rate has been in NOK. In addition, the has facility rights amounting to 50 MNOK in SEK. The 's finance leasing agreements have variable interest rates. Note 6 has more details on loans and note 13 additional information about leasing. Considering the extent and risk, the has not considered it required to secure loans at variable interest rates. Credit risk Credit risk in the Goup relates mainly to transactions with end customers in the form of trade receivables. The credit risk concerning end customers is considered to be low, as the 's customers on the whole are within the public sector or medium-sized/large private companies. Losses on trade receivables have historically been low. Management is following up the age distribution of external trade receivables on a regular basis. Liquidity risk Management of liquidity risk implies to maintain adequate funds of liquids and realisable securities in order to meet the 's obligations when due and ensure the ability to perform strategic investments. Management is montoring the 's liquidity reserve and cash through a 12 months liquidity budget and rolling weekly prognoses based on expected cash flows.

The testing is made per cash-generating unit with significant values of goodwill and brands, and is based on recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount is the higher of sales value and value in use. The comprises three cash-generating units. The recoverable amount is calculated from discounted estimated cash flows for the five first years after the balance sheet date, and a residual value. In those instances where the plans to dispose of parts of operations, the sales value less sales costs is applied as the estimate of the recoverable amount, as this is considered to be a more exact estimate than the calculated present value. The brand Software Innovation is considered to have an indefinite useful lifetime. The calculation of the value in use applies estimates for future cash flows based on next year's budget. Management has prepared budgets based on historical experience together with expected market expectations. Cash flows beyond the budget period are derived by estimated growth rates. The growth rates are determined on the basis of an assessment of market growth, profit in comparable companies, risk profile, historical development and other circumstances considered to be relevant for the development. Assumptions applied in calculating value in use: Budgeted cash flows for 2012 and expected growth rate for the period 2013-2016. The discount interest rate before tax is 11,30 %, based on a required rate of return of 12,46 % on equity and 4,40 % on debt. The has applied the CAPM model in deciding the required return on equity. The required return on equity together with the debt return is used as a basis for the discount interest rate (WACC). Assumptions for future growth: Goodwill in local currency Income 2012-2015 (Sweden 2014-2016) Costs 2011-2015 (Sweden 2014-2016) Income and costs after 2015 Income Sweden 2012 Costs Sweden 2013 Cash-generating unit Software Innovation Norway NOK 42.434 5,0 % 4,0 % 1,0 % SI Denmark DKK 9.909 5,5 % 3,8 % 1,0 % SI Sweden SEK 6.243 6,0 % 5,0 % 1,0 % 10 % 8 % On the basis of these considerations, goodwill in the has not been written down. Other intangible assets Other intangible assets comprise customer relations and software identified in connection with the acquisition of the Software Innovation. The fair value of customer relations is calculated by applying a "multi-period-excess-earnings" method and is depreciated by the straight-line method over an estimated life of 20 years. The fair value of software is estimated by applying a "relief from royalty" method. Software is depreciated by the straight-line method over an expected life of 10 years. The carrying values of software and customer relations are tested for impairment when there are indications of declining values. At 31 December 2011, there are no such indications.
