Notes

Note 1. Accounting policies and judgments and estimates

The Board of Directors of RenoNorden ASA approved these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements
on 8 November 2016.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim accounts are prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting. The Group's accounting principles are presented in Note 2 Accounting policies in RenoNorden Group's IFRS
Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ending 31 December 2015. The interim financial information should be read
in conjunction with the RenoNorden Group 2015 IFRS Consolidated Financial Statements.

There was no material effect on the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements from the implementation
in 2014 of new or amended IFRS standards or interpretations. New or amended IFRS standards or interpretations with
implementation dates on or after 1 October 2016 are not expected to have a material effect on recognition and measurement
in the Group consolidated financial statements, but may affect notes disclosures.

Judgements and estimates
The preparation of the interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions
that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense.
Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in
applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to
the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2015.

Income tax expense is assessed based on annual results and, accordingly, determining the tax charge for the interim period
involves making an estimate of the likely effective tax rate for the year for each material tax jurisdiction. The tax effect of
'one-off' items are not included in the estimated effective annual tax rate, but are recognized in the same period as the
relevant 'one-off' item.

Note 2. Segment information and seasonality

RenoNorden Group identifies its reportable segments and discloses segment information under IFRS 8 Operating Segments.
This standard requires RenoNorden Group to identify its segments according to the organization and reporting structure used
by management.

Management considers the business from both a geographic and a service perspective. Geographically, management
considers the performance in Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland. From a service perspective, all geographic segments
have municipal contracts and, additionally, Finland has specific corporate contracts.

Management assesses the performance of the operating segments based on a measure of EBITDA and EBIT. This
measurement basis excludes discontinued operations and the effects of non-recurring expenditures from the operating
segments such as restructuring costs, legal expenses and goodwill impairments when the impairment is the result of an
isolated, non-recurring event. The measure also excludes the effects of equity-settled share-based payments and unrealized
gains/losses on financial instruments.

The Group’s business is seasonal, and has historically realized a higher portion of its operating revenue and EBITDA in the
second and third quarter of each year. This seasonality is a characteristic of the business in which it operates. During the
warmer summer months, the Group increases the frequency of collection for biodegradable waste matter. Furthermore, the
Group also collects from areas where holiday properties require additional collections in the summer holiday season.

Note 4. Loss on onerous contracts and Impairment Goodwill

                                                                                                                             15
RenoNorden has decided to separate loss on onerous contracts and impairment of goodwill in the Consolidated Income
Statement, as specified below.

After a review of some of the contracts in the group, the company identified six onerous contracts in Norway and two
onerous contracts in Denmark according to IAS 37. The net losses were calculated based on best estimation of future income
and unavoidable costs (measured at discounted value) related to each contract. The contracts run for periods from five to ten
years, assuming that the municipalities exercise the options for prolongations. The loss include write down of assets related
to the contracts. Realized losses in Q3 are booked against the provision.

Following the provision for loss on contracts, the goodwill for all segments were tested for impairment. Goodwill for the
Norwegian segment was accordingly written off by NOK 90.9 million.

Disclaimer
This report contains forward-looking statements that reflect RenoNorden’s current views with respect to future developments
and performance. These forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as
the terms “anticipates”, “assumes”, “believes”, “can”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “intends”, “may”,
“might”, “plans”, “projects”, “should”, “will”, “would” or, in each case, their negative, or other variations or comparable
terminology. These forward-looking statements are not historic facts. The forward-looking statements are based upon various
assumptions, many of which are based, in turn, upon further assumptions, including without limitation, management’s
examination of historical operating trends, data contained in RenoNorden’s records and data available from third parties.
Although RenoNorden believes that these assumptions were reasonable when made, these assumptions are inherently subject
to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties, contingencies and other important factors which are difficult or
impossible to predict and are beyond its control, and many factors can therefore lead to actual developments and performance
deviating substantially from what has been expressed or implied in such statements. Accordingly, no assurance can be given
with respect to such developments and performance. RenoNorden disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward-
looking statements, unless required to do so by applicable law or listing rules.
