Please find enclosed the preliminary 2012 annual results for Statkraft SF.
Statkraft SF's purpose is to own all shares and provide loans to Statkraft AS. In addition, Statkraft SF holds some assets that cannot be held by Statkraft AS for formal reasons. This applies to power plants that have reverted to state ownership and leased out, or that will revert to Statkraft, as well as some commitments abroad (Asian Power Invest AB and Nordic Hydropower AB).
Statkraft SF's consolidated accounts will, with the exception of the retained assets and some liability items, be identical to the consolidated accounts for the sub-group Statkraft AS. See reported fourth quarter and preliminary annual results for 2012 for Statkraft AS.
The differences between the respective income statements of Statkraft SF and Statkraft AS primarily relate to revenues and expenses associated with ongoing operation of the retained assets. These differences are relatively modest.
