1. Accounting policies

General information IBM Finans Norge AS (the ‘company’ ) is a limited company incorporated in Norway. The company’s immediate parent entity is International Business Machines AS, a company incorporated in Norway. The company’s ultimate parent entity is International Business Machines Corporations (‘ IBM Corporation’ ), a company registered in the United States of America. Basis of preparation These financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘ IFRS’ ) as adopted by the European Union (‘EU’ ), and interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (‘ IFRIC’ ).

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. The policies have been applied consistently to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the company’s accounting policies. The areas where significant judgements and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements are disclosed in the notes to these financial statements. The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. New and amended standards and interpretations At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations were in issue but not yet effective and have not been applied in these financial statements; IAS 19 Employee Benefits (amendment) IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (amendment) IAS 28 Investments in Associates (amendment) IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation (amendment) IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (amendment) IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (amendment) IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (amendment) IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements (effective 1 January 2013) IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements (effective 1 January 2013) IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (effective 1 January 2013) IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement (effective 1 January 2013) Amendments to other Standards and Interpretations resulting from Annual Improvements to IFRSs issued in 2012

The company’s management anticipate the application of these Standards and Interpretations in future periods will have no material effect on the financial statements of the company.

Revenue Recognition The company recognises revenue only if probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and these benefits can be measured reliably. The primary source of revenue for the company is finance income. Finance income represents interest and fee income on factored and other receivables, cash and deposits and is recognised on an accruals basis using the effective interest rate method. Other expenses Other expenses are recognised in the income statement as incurred. Other expenses include selling expenses, salaries, office supplies, non-income taxes, insurance and office rental. Finance costs Finance costs represent interest on bank overdrafts and short term borrowings. Foreign cur rencies The financial statements of the company are presented in Norwegian Krone which is the functional currency of the company. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate prevailing at the transaction date. Foreign exchange differences are recognised in the income statement in the year on settlement of these items. At each reporting date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the reporting date. The resulting foreign exchange differences are recognised in the income statement for the year.

Taxation Income tax expense represents the current tax calculated on taxable profits for the year, any adjustments in respect of prior periods and any deferred tax charge or credit for the year. The current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and is accounted for using the liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

Page 12

Taxation (continued) The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that have been enacted and that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled or the asset realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited to the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the company intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis. Financial instruments Categories of financial instruments The company has the following categories of financial assets and liabilities: loans and receivables and financial liabilities at amortised cost. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs, in the company’s statement of financial position when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. In determining the fair value of its financial instruments, the company uses a variety of methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and risks existing at each reporting date. For the majority of financial instruments, standard market conventions and techniques such as discounted cash flow analysis, replacement cost and termination cost are used to determine fair value. All methods of assessing fair value result in a general approximation of value, and such value may never actually be realised. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are measured on initial recognition at fair value, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables include ‘cash and cash equivalents’ , ‘ factored receivables’ and ‘ receivables from related parties’ in the balance sheet (notes 7 and 14). Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits and other short term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash ad are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Financial instruments (continued) Loans and receivables (continued)

An allowance for impairment of loans and receivables is recorded based on a combination of write-off history, ageing analysis, and any specific, known impairment losses. Below are the methodologies the company uses to calculate its impairment reserves, which are applied consistently to its different portfolios. The company reviews all loans and receivables on a regular basis. The review consists primarily of an analysis based upon current information available about clients, such as financial statements, news reports and published credit ratings, as well as the current economic environment, collateral net of repossession cost and prior history. Additionally, analysis is performed on its different collectively assessed portfolios, based upon credit ratings, probability of default, term, asset characteristics, and loss history to determine if there is objective evidence of impairment. Objective evidence of impairment includes:

• significant financial difficulty of the issuer or counterparty; or • default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; or • it becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or financial

re-organisation. If there is objective evidence that loans and receivables are impaired, the company calculates an impairment loss by comparing the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of the expected future cash flows. Any resulting impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. The carrying amount of the impaired receivable is reduced through the use of a specific allowance account. Losses incurred on trade and other receivables are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of the receivable is confirmed. Subsequent recoveries, if any, are credited to the allowance. Derecognition of financial assets The company derecognises a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity. If the company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and continues to control the transferred asset, the company recognises its retained interest in the asset and an associated liability for amounts it may have to pay. If the company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of a transferred financial asset, the company continues to recognise the financial asset and also recognises a collateralised borrowing for the proceeds received. Financial liabilities at amortised cost Financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes obliged to make future payments resulting from the purchase of goods or services. Amounts are unsecured and usually settled on standard commercial trade terms.

Financial instruments (continued) Financial liabilities at amortised cost (continued) Financial liabilities recognised at amortised cost include ‘borrowing’ , ‘payables to related parties’ and ‘other payables’ (note 9 and 14). Trade and other payables, and borrowings are initially measured at fair value, net of transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognised on an effective yield basis. Derecognition of financial liabilities The company derecognises financial liabilities when, and only when, the company’s obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. Debt and equity instruments Debt and equity instruments are classified as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement. Interest and dividends Interest and dividends are classified as expenses or as distributions of profit consistent with the statement of financial position classification of the related debt or equity instruments or component parts of compound instruments.

2. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions The application of accounting standards and policies requires the company to make estimates and assumptions about future events that directly affect its reported financial condition and operating performance. The accounting estimates and assumptions discussed are those that the company considers to be most critical to its financial statements. An accounting estimate is considered critical if both (a) the nature of estimates or assumptions is material due to the level of subjectivity and judgement involved, and (b) the impact within a reasonable range of outcomes of the estimates and assumptions is material to the company's financial condition or operating performance. Revenue recognition Application of the accounting principles in IFRS related to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires that the company make judgements and estimates. Income taxes During the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain. As a result, the company recognises tax liabilities based on estimates of whether additional taxes and interest will be due. To the extent that new information becomes available which causes the company to change its judgement regarding the adequacy of existing tax liabilities, such changes to tax liabilities will impact income tax expense in the period in which such determination is made. Deferred tax assets Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that the directors consider that it is more likely than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future crystallisation of the underlying temporary differences can be deducted. An assessment of future profits is prepared based on current market and economic conditions, and an estimate of future market and economic conditions. Factors that could result in actual future profits being lower than estimated future profits relate to significant changes in the economy, or a significant change in the economic health of a particular client or industry segment that represents a concentration in the company’s client base.

Financial risk management objectives

IBM’s corporate treasury function provides funding and risk management services to the Norway group of companies. Risk management services are provided through the monitoring and management of financial risks relating to the operations of the company through internal risk reports addressing market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, and cash flow interest rate risk. This includes performing sensitivity analysis on market risks to determine the effect of changes in foreign exchange and currency rates on the company’s financial performance and position.

Foreign currency risk

The company does not undertake any material transactions denominated in foreign currencies, hence no considerable exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arise.

13. Financial instruments (continued) Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the company. The company has adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The company carries out credit checks on potential customers before contracts are entered into. This information is supplied by independent rating agencies where available and, if not available, the company uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate the major customers. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management team annually. Cash balances held with the IBM Treasury Centre and with IBM AS/Nordea bank, which the directors assess as having high credit ratings. The company has significant concentration of credit risk. The top five debtors represent 97 % (2011: 96%) of the company's total loans and receivables. The carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial statements, which is net of impairment losses, represents the company’s maximum exposure to credit risk. Interest rate risk management

The company is funded by the IBM Treasury Centre in Ireland and IBM AS. As the company

invests or borrows cash balances, it operates in either a receivable or payable position. Interest is paid or earned on the daily balance using the variable one month interest rate as the base.

The company’s exposures to interest rates on financial assets and financial liabilities are detailed in Categories of financial instruments table in this note.

The company performs sensitivity analysis to determine the effects from exposure to interest rates risk. For financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk, the analysis is prepared assuming the balances at the reporting date was outstanding for the whole year.

At the reporting date, if interest rates had been 50 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the company’s net profit would decrease/increase by NOK 122 000 (2011: increase/decrease by NOK 77 000). This is mainly attributable to the company’s exposure to interest rates on borrowings and cash deposits. Liquidity risk management The company is funded internally by the IBM Treasury Centre in Ireland. The company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves, banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities through its agreements with the Treasury Centre.

Liquidity table The company holds financial liabilities with contractual maturity within one year. The contractual maturity is based on the earliest date on which the company may be required to pay. The table below have been drawn up based on the undiscounted contractual cash flows of the financial liabilities including principal cash flows.

• Financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices; and

• Other financial assets and financial liabilities, excluding derivative financial instruments, are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis.

Management consider that the carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities in the financial statements approximate their fair values. There are no financial assets and/or liabilities that were already recognised at fair value through profit and loss.

14. Related party transactions

Related parties include parent companies, entities under common control (‘group undertakings’ ), subsidiaries and key management personnel.
