1)
The profit/loss before tax includes significant currency gains in 2010. Currency gains and losses are primarily related to interest bearing liabilities, loans to susidiaries and the
Group account system. The net currency gains and losses in the Group account system relates to Group internal receivables and payables and REC ASA’s external bank accounts. It
is impracticable to separate these effects in the Group account system. However, the internal receivables and payables in the Group account system are significantly higher than
the external bank accounts. REC ASA has consequently included the net currency effects in the net change in the internal part of the Group account system, as a part of investing
activities in the statement of cash flows.
2)
Other items consist primarily of the expensing of up-front loan fees.
3)
See note 14 to the consolidated financial statements for a description of REC’s Group account systems (cash pools). The Group account systems contain receivables and payables
on subsidiaries (internal part) and REC ASA’s external bank accounts. In the balance sheet, these are presented separately at December 31, 2011 and 2010.
