Axxis Geo Solutions Group comprise Axxis Geo Solutions ASA (referred to as the "Company" or the "Parent") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group" or "AGS"). Axxis Geo Solutions ASA is a public limited company incorporated in Norway. The Company is listed on Oslo Axess and traded under the ticker AGS.
The Company's registered main office is at Strandveien 50, 1366 Lysaker, Norway. Further, the Group is located with operational offices in Houston, USA, local offices in Jakarta, Indonesia and Kairo in Egypt.
The Group is engaged in the international geophysical industry and focuses its activities in the Ocean Bottom Node ("OBN") segment of the marine seismic market.
The Group's business strategy is to secure proprietary OBN contracts and develop multi-client OBN programs through an asset light model where vessels, personnel and equipment are leased in on a cost efficient basis. The asset light model , along with operational efficiency when on contracts and projects, gives a comparative advantage when bidding for new contracts and profitable projects.
The Group specializes in delivering tailored seismic solutions, flexible project management and execution to oil and gas companies world-wide.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards («IFRS») as adopted by the European Union («EU»). Following the application of the IFRS 15 accounting standard for revenues, multi-client pre-funding revenues are not recognized under percentage of completion ("PoC") method. Instead, all such revenues are recognized at delivery of the final processed data, which is considerably later than the acquisition of the seismic data. The segment reporting (used for management purposes) in note 2.3 Alternative Performance Measures ("APM") 2.2 EBITDA, note 3 Segment, note 4 Revenue, note 11B Multi-client library and, shows the deviation from IFRS.
The notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial statements of the subsidiaries have been prepared for the same reporting year as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK).
The 2019 Group's revenues of NOK 611.8 million is higher than the previous year's revenues of NOK 53.4 million. The Group's activities increased significantly in 2019 through three contracts in India, Dubai and Brazil, compared to contract in India and Indonesia during 2018.
In accordance with IFRS 15, no revenues from prefunding achieved for the multi-client project Utsira have been recorded during the full year of 2019 and 2018. As at end of December 2019, the Company has recognized a contract liability in the balance sheet of NOK 199.9 million which reflects the revenue for the work performed on this project to date.

The 2019 Group's cost of sales (COS) amounted to NOK 512.1 million, net of capitalized multi-client costs, compared to NOK 47.4 million during the same period in 2018, where NOK 410.5 million is related to the contract in India, NOK 64.9 million related to the period where the Group's assets were idle in Malta, and the remaining amount related to the contracts in Dubai and Brazil, while the main COS in 2018 was related to multi-client and therefore capitalized. In the last quarter of 2018, NOK 37.7 million was capitalizedin relation to the India contract work. The 2019 Group's personnel expenses and other operating expenses amounted to NOK 59.7 million compared to NOK 46.2 million during the same period of last year. Legal and consultants fee of NOK 19.7 million for the full year 2019 is mainly related to the merger and listing costs, and also including consultants and increased number of staff required to pursue the Company's growth plans.
The 2019 Group's depreciation and write downs of lost equipment was NOK 51.8 million compared to NOK 23.5 million in 2018, where the increase is due to more node handling systems in operation as mentioned above.
According to IFRS, multi-client surveys are not amortized in the acquisition phase. The acquisition of a multi-client 3D OBN project was completed in October 2019 and some data was processed in Q1 2020 and the Group expect the whole survey to be processed and completed within Q3 2020.
Goodwill has been impaired with NOK 15.9 million to a book value of zero in 2019 in the Group.
The Group performed an impairment test of its multi-client library in 2019 which resulted in an impairment of NOK 308.6 million, to NOK 399.5 million, based on net present value of the library and expectations of future sales.
No impairment charges have been made for the vessel Neptune Naiad, nor the node handling systems owned by the Group in 2019 or 2018.
EBITDA for the Group in 2019 was NOK 40.0 million compared to NOK -40.2 million for 2018. EBIT for the Group in 2019 was NOK -336.3 million compared to NOK -63.7 million in 2018. The contract work had a positive effect on the EBITDA for 2019 while EBIT was negative mainly due to the impairment of the multi-client library and the goodwill. In 2018 contract work had a negative effect on the EBITDA due to mobilization between jobs and therefore lower margin.
For 2019 income tax expense for the Group amounted to NOK 40.0 million compared to income tax revenue of NOK 11.9 million for the same period in 2018. No deferred tax asset has been recorded related to tax losses at 31.12.19.
For 2019 the Group had a loss of NOK 402.7 million compared to a loss of NOK 65.0 million for the same period in 2018.
As of 31 December 2019, the Group had total assets of NOK 806.1 million, compared to total assets of NOK 586.4 million as of 31 December 2018.

The Group's total non-current assets increased from NOK 412.5 million in 2018 to NOK 551.9 million in 2019. This is attributed to the net increase in multi-client library of NOK 182.5 million after an impairment charge of NOK 308.6 million as mentioned under Impairment; an impairment of Goodwill with NOK 15.9 million; a reversal of previously recognized deferred tax asset to zero with NOK 40.0 million; and a net increase of NOK 13.3 million in the node handling system.
The Group's total current assets increased from NOK 173.9 million in 2018 to NOK 254.2 million in 2019. The increase is driven by NOK 73.8 million in increased trade receivables, mainly due to VAT selfassessment related to multi-client pre-funding; an increase in other current assets (accrued revenue, mobilization, and prepaid cost) of NOK 70.9 million; an offset by decrease in inventories of NOK 10.2 million; and a decrease in cash of NOK 54.2 million; the cash balance ending at NOK 12.6 million for 2019.
The Group's equity was negative with NOK 54.7 million at the end of the year 2019 compared to positive NOK 29.6 million as of 31 December 2018. During 2019, the Company has raised NOK 305.4 million in equity net of transaction costs. The equity ratio for the Group was negative as of 31 December 2019.
The Group's total non-current liabilities increased to NOK 0.6 million as of 31 December 2019, from zero as of 31 December 2018, consisting of long-term portion of lease of properties rental. The original secured debt towards Eksportkreditt Norge AS has been classified as short-term debt as the covenants was not fulfilled as of December 2019. The Company has received a waiver from Eksportkreditt Norge AS on one of the two financial covenants for the fourth quarter 2019. The Company anticipates to be in need of further waivers from Eksportkreditt Norge AS in 2020 due to a restructuring of accounts payables to long-term debt.
The Group's current portion of long-term debt amounted to NOK 19.8 million towards Eksportkreditt Norge AS and NOK 2.0 million related to leases for office rental as of December 2019.
The Group's total current liabilities as of 31 December 2019 amounted to NOK 860.1 million, compared to NOK 556.8 million as of 31 December 2018. The large increase is related to trade payables, which increased by NOK 184.9 million. Contract liabilities (IFRS adjustment for multi-client pre-funding revenue) increased by NOK 44.5 million to NOK 199.9 million in 2019. Other current liabilities increased by NOK 81.9 million in 2019 due to project related accruals of NOK 79.9 million; mobilization revenue of NOK 54.2 million; and the issuance of a promissory note in favor of TGS which was reduced with NOK 67.0 million to NOK 53.4 million per December 2019. The current portion of long-term debt amounted to NOK 21.8 million as per 31 December 2019.
The Group's cash inflow from operating activities in 2019 was NOK 209.5 million, compared to NOK 365.1 million at the same period in 2018. The reduction in operating cash flow compared to 2018 was primarily a result of a period where the Company's assets were idle in Malta prior to a contract award in Middle East which increased the Company's trade payables and other current liabilities, partly offset by increase in trade receivables and other current assets.
The Group's cash outflow from investing activities in 2019 amounted to NOK 548.4 million, compared to NOK 315.4 million in the same period in 2018 due to the joint operation with TGS that effected 2018 investment. The main investments in 2019 were those in the multi-client library of NOK 491.1 million, being the Group's net investment and in node handling equipment of NOK 60.9 million. Compared to 2018 the lower cash outflow from investing activities with net effect of NOK 217.0 million in multiclient investment and with NOK 98.1 million in node handling equipment.

The Group's cash inflow from financing activities in 2019 was NOK 284.6 million, compared to NOK 14.5 million in the same period in 2018. Net proceeds from new equity was NOK 305.4 million offset by payment of instalments relating to the loan from TGS and leases of office rental and interest of NOK 20.8 million.
Axxis Geo Solutions ASA is the parent company of the Group.
In 2019, Axxis Geo Solutions ASA reported a loss after tax of NOK 358.9 million, compared to a loss of NOK 48.0 million in 2018. The results were significantly impacted by impairment of shares in subsidiaries and accruals for impairment of intercompany receivables of NOK 391.1 million.
At year end, Axxis Geo Solutions ASA had total assets of NOK 534.2 million, compared to NOK 365.6 million at the end of 2018.
As at 31 December 2019, Axxis Geo Solutions ASA has a total equity of NOK 5.9 million, compared to NOK 45.2 million at the end of 2018. The equity ratio was 1.1 percent, compared to 11.7 percent at the end of 2018.
The annual accounts are prepared on the assumption of a going concern. However, the Company's and the Group's financial situation is unsustainable as equity is negative and liquidity is under pressure and hence there is material uncertainty related to the going concern assumption. Currently, the Group has insufficient cash to pay its account payables. The Group is working on a restructuring plan with its key creditors to reduce the short-term liabilities. If successful, this will strengthen the working capital and improve the liquidity for the Group. The outcome of these discussions are uncertain and the going concern assumption is subject to material uncertainty as outlined below.
The Group's cash flow forecast is based on the following: the Group's existing firm commitments and operational plan, the Group's expectation of future opportunities, and the Group's corporate activities to improve the financial situation, specifically;
It is the Board's view that the Company's efforts in the restructuring plan will be successful.
However, there is a risk that the Group will not be successful in completing the ongoing restructuring process has challenges related to the transfer of cash from its operations in the Middle East to Norway maintains a balance of significantly overdue payables if the Group's unable to obtain a payment plan with creditors not participating in the restructuring process does not secure future contracts or late sales.
Management have used its best judgements in the evaluation of the going concern assumption. Although there are significant uncertainties and risk listed above related to events or conditions that might impact the future cash flows, the Board and the management is of the opinion that the going concern assumption is appropriate and the accounts are prepared under the going concern assumption. If the Company is unsuccessful with the above activities, the financial statements do not reflect impairment charges or provisions that might be required if the Company or Group was liquidated or the assets sold in a distressed situation.

The Group is exposed to risk factors including, but not limited to, the factors described below.
The Group is exposed to market specific and general economic cycles and macro-economic fluctuations, since changes in the general economic situation affect the demand from clients. The Group experiencing renewed growth in the OBN segment in 2019; however, no assurance can be provided with regards to future market development. The Group's business performance depends on production and development spending by oil and gas companies. Historically, in times of low oil price, demand in exploration spending has been reduced to a much greater extent than production related spending, where the Group is active.
Delayed or loss of payments from the Group's customers/clients may adversely impair the Group's liquidity. The concentration of the Group's customers, presently few, in the oil and gas industry may impact the Group's overall exposure to credit risk as customers may be similarly affected by prolonged changes in economic- and industry conditions. The Group evaluates the credit quality of its potential clients during contract negotiations in order to minimize the risk of payment delinquency, but no assurance can be given that the Group will be able to avoid this risk.
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group is not able to meet its payment obligations. The Company is dependent on both access to long-term funding and timely payments of receivables from customers. There can be no assurance that available funding sources are accessible when needed nor can there be any assurance that the Group will be able to raise new equity or other financial solutions on favorable terms and in amounts necessary to conduct its on-going and future operations, should this be required. Failure to access necessary liquidity could require the Group to scale back its operations or could have other materially adverse consequences for its business and its ability to meet its obligations. The Group has taken action for restructuring of its short-term liabilities.
The Group's present its consolidated financial report in NOK. The functional currency for the Parent Company and most of the subsidiaries is NOK. The Group's significant operations in foreign countries expose it to risks related to foreign currency movements. Currency exchange rates fluctuate due to several factors, including international balance of payments, economic and financial conditions, government intervention, speculation and other factors. Changes in currency exchange rates relative to the USD may affect the USD valued assets of the Group; primarily the one vessel owned by the Company. Changes in currency may also affect the Group's local expenses when operating abroad. The Group's expenses are primarily in USD and NOK. As such, the Group's earnings are exposed to fluctuations in the foreign currency market.
The Group is exposed to fluctuations in the price of certain key commodities such as oil prices, fuel and transportation costs. The Group has not established hedging arrangements to mitigate the possible adverse effects of this exposure.
The offshore seismic industry has from time to time experienced excess capacity and supply. The Group operates on a smaller scale than some of its competitors. Consequently, the Group may not be as financially or operationally robust to manage cyclical down-turns as its larger competitors. Further, the Group has an asset-light business model and is dependent on suppliers to ensure access to

necessary equipment for its seismic operations. Such access may be difficult to obtain in the event that suppliers question the financial viability of the Group's operations. In addition, the Company could be required to perform material depreciations on its balance sheet, primarily related to the value of its seismic libraries, which in turn would have a negative effect on the Company's profit and loss accounts.
The seismic and oil service industry see frequent changes and developments in technology. Such changes and developments can often be driven by competitors of the Company with substantial greater resources than those of the Company. The Group's technology such as its OBN acquisition method, and any further technology under development, may not prove to be viable or efficient, and efforts to respond to technological innovations may require significant financial investments and resources. Failure by the Group to respond to changes in technology and innovations may render the Group's operations non-competitive and may have a material, negative effect on the Company's results of operation, financial condition and future prospects.
The Group is currently dependent on a limited number of suppliers which provide critical elements to the Group's operations, such as processing capacity, nodes and node handling equipment. This is expected to continue to be the case going forward. The Group currently relies on chartering vessels suited for seismic acquisition, which may in a situation of shortage of vessels involve a disadvantage towards its competitors. There can be no guarantee that there will be available vessels for charter or processing capacity for the Company's requirements in the future. Further, being highly dependent on a limited number of suppliers, supply for nodes and node-handling equipment may impede or restrict the Group in obtaining improved terms for the supplies. If any of the foregoing occurs, it may have a material, negative effect on the Company's revenues, financial position and prospects.
The business of the Group currently only has a limited number of potential customers, and a few existing customers which provide a large part of the total revenues. This creates a risk of losing substantial revenue if one or a small number of customers are unable to perform their obligations under, or terminates, their contracts with the Group. The Group may also experience a significant drop in revenues if such contracts are not renewed or replaced when they expire according to their terms. Further, being highly dependent on a limited number of clients may impede or restrict the Group's in obtaining improved terms for its services.
The seismic acquisition operations of the Group may be exposed to extreme weather, hazardous conditions and activity in the work area. The Company's own insurance may not be adequate to cover potential losses. The Group may also have to share the production time in the survey area with another party, or stop for a period of time if own or third-party operations cause disturbance to the project or impacting safety or quality in the production. If any of the foregoing occurs, the Group will lose production time which in turn will have a negative effect on Company's revenues, financial position and prospects.
Risk related to cyber criminality is increasing globally. This threat is relevant for all devices connected to internet. To protect the Group and the Company's assets and IP, necessary precautions and procedures has been taken. The most common attack vector is 'phishing emails'. The Group has taken steps to improve protection of email, improve capabilities to identify ongoing malicious activities and increase employee awareness of cyber threats.
The Group business is subject to laws and regulations in various jurisdictions, and the requirements of, changes in or violations of such laws or regulations may adversely affect the Group's business and profitability. The Group invests in financial and managerial resources to maintain compliance with these laws and regulations, and failure to do so could result in fines or penalties, enforcement actions, claims for personal injury or property damages, or obligations to investigate and remediate contamination.

The Group's acquisition of geophysical data is, in most jurisdictions, dependent on regulatory approval such as licenses, permits or similar which must be obtained before geophysical data may be acquired. For its multi-client projects in particular, there may be a risk that such regulatory approvals are not obtained or will only be obtained on conditions not acceptable to the Group. Should this occur with short or no advance notice, there may not be alternative employment available for the Group. This may have a negative impact on the Company's revenue and profits from operations.
The Group's multi-client business relies on a certain period of exclusivity in controlling the distribution of the acquired data through licenses to customers. The exclusivity period granted by local authorities can typically be 10 years but may be shortened during that period for reasons outside the Group's control. Any such change in business assumptions to the Group's investment in multi-client data may have a negative impact on the Company's revenues, profits and may cause impairment of remaining book values.
The total number of permanent employees in the Group are eight, compared to three last year.
The Board of Directors consists of five members, two men and three women.
There have not been any serious injuries or accidents in the current or prior year. In both 2019 and 2018 the average sick day percentage for the work force was zero.
The Group's policies prohibit unlawful discrimination against employees, on account of ethnic or national origin, age, gender, sexual orientation or religion. Respect for the individual is the cornerstone of this policy and the Group also aims to treat its employees with dignity and respect.
The Company is a global leading pure-play ocean-bottom node seismic company that integrates people, environment and business to provide stakeholders and shareholders sustainable and socialy responsible operations and services. The integration of these principles and our understanding of our corporate responsibility provide the opportunity to enter new areas and operate within communities around the world, leaving behind a positive footprint.

The Group demonstrated substantial growth, recording 2,170,606 man hours in 2019, more than double that recorded in 2018. Three industry defined recordable injuries were recorded, resutling in a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIR) of 1.38, up from zero recorded in 2018. The Group's 2020 Goals and Objectives refelect improment initiatives generated from the 2019 learnings and will be executed to reduce our TRIR in the coming year.
Subcontractors and their personnel are important to our operations and team. The Group's Subcontractor Management Standard guides our employees to review our Subcontractors Policies and systems to ensure they are aligned with our principles, and conform with our management systems, and how to address inconsitencies where they arise.
The Group recognize that stewardship of the environment is the collective responsibility of governments, business, communities and individuals. The Group's intent is to conduct our business in harmony with the environment. The Group's goal is no damage to the environment; our challenge is to deliver this along with our products. The Group's Envirnmental Policy underscores our commitment to being the earths custodians and outlines our responsibilities throughout our operations, and our mission to minimise our footprint wherever the Group work.

The scope of the iOMS addresses a broad range of tasks impacts or threats; that impact the wellbeing of the environment in which the Group work, the communities with which we interact, the employees and subcontractors as well as the business results the Group aims to achieve. By bringing together the management of key aspects of running a successful business, the iOMS achieves company-wide consistency, across all assets and activities, at every location and the entire workforce. The Group iOMS combines and integrates the elements of quality, health and safety, environment, personnel, finance, security and operations, primarily taking into consideration IOGP guidelines, ISO guidelines, OSHA standards, IAGC recommendations as well as other regulatory requirements and obligations.
The Group does no material research and development activity.
The Board of Directors has proposed the net loss for the Company of NOK 358.9 million to be attributed to accumulated earning and other equity.
The Company's equity as of 31.12.2019 was 1.1%.
The impacts of COVID-19 on businesses across the globe is immense and presenting new challenges almost daily to our normal business practices. The Group has been planning for and monitoring developments since the initial spread of the virus and has taken a series of important steps to maintain the continuity of our services for our customers and to safeguard the health of our employees and stakeholders. The Group are pleased to advise that while many aspects of the Global mitigations have been disruptive, The Group have been able to substantially maintain the operations close to pre COVID 19 level's.

During the first quarter the Group successfully completed both the primary and an extended part to the OBN program in the Gulf of Suez. The crew reported more than 350,000-man hours since the start of 2020, all while operating on high alert regarding the COVID-19 threat, and strict adherence to the Group's mitigation plans. The Company is currently working on and expecting bids for future work.
The Group has previously entered into a joint venture with TGS in the North Sea to develop new multiclient projects and work to materialize further acquisitions in 2020 and the years to come. The mature and producing areas of the North Sea are considered attractive multi-client areas for OBN due to the increased focus on near-field exploration during times of low oil price.

Axxis Geo Solutions Group comprise Axxis Geo Solutions ASA (referred to as the "Company" or the "Parent") and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group"). Axxis Geo Solutions ASA is a public limited listed company incorporated in Norway. The Company is listed on Oslo Axess and traded under the ticker AGS.
The Company's registered office is at Strandveien 50, 1366 Lysaker, further the Group is located with operational office in Houston. The Group has due to local requirement, when operating OBN survey, offices also in Jakarta and Cairo.
The Group is engaged in the international geophysical industry and focuses its activities in the Ocean Bottom Node ("OBN") segment of the marine seismic market.
The Group's business strategy is to secure OBN contacts and develop multi-client OBN programs and hire in vessels, personnel and equipment to secured contracts and multi-client projects. The asset light model does yield a cost efficiency and should, along with operational efficiency when on contracts and projects, lead to cost benefits which will give a comparative advantage in securing new contracts and profitable projects.
The Group specializes on delivering tailored seismic solutions, flexible project management and execution to oil and gas companies world-wide. Its operations are based on a scalable asset-light setup to complete seismic surveys.
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards («IFRS») as adopted by the European Union («EU»), their interpretations adopted by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the additional requirements of the Norwegian Accounting Act as of 31 December 2019.
The notes are an integral part of the consolidated financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis. The financial statements of the subsidiaries have been prepared for the same reporting year as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK).
The consolidated financial statements of the Group were authorized by the Board of Directors on 24 April 2020. The consolidated financial statements will be presented for approval at the Annual General Meeting on 19 May 2020. Until this date the Board of Directors have the authority to amend the financial statements.
The annual accounts are prepared on the assumption of a going concern. However, the Company's and the Group's financial situation is unsustainable as equity is negative and liquidity is under pressure and hence there is material uncertainty related to the going concern assumption. Currently, the Group has insufficient cash to pay its account payables. The Group is working on a restructuring plan with its key creditors to reduce the short-term liabilities. If successful, this will strengthen the working capital

and improve the liquidity for the Group. The outcome of these discussions are uncertain and the going concern assumption is subject to material uncertainty as outlined below.
The Group's cash flow forecast is based on the following: the Group's existing firm commitments and operational plan, the Group's expectation of future opportunities, and the Group's corporate activities to improve the financial situation, specifically;
It is the Board's and the management's view that the Company's efforts in the restructuring plan will be successful.
However, there is a risk that the Group
Management have used its best judgements in the evaluation of the going concern assumption. Although there are significant uncertainties and risk listed above related to events or conditions that might impact the future cash flows, the Board and the management is of the opinion that the going concern assumption is appropriate and the accounts are prepared under the going concern assumption. If the Company is unsuccessful with the above activities, the financial statements do not reflect impairment charges or provisions that might be required if the Company or Group was liquidated or the assets sold in a distressed situation.
The merger between Songa Bulk ASA and Axxis Geo Solutions AS (AGS AS) with a reverse share split, forming Axxis Geo Solutions ASA (AGS ASA), was not considered a business combination under IFRS, but a reverse take over/acquisition of a non-trading shell company. The Merger was carried out pursuant to chapter 13 of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, whereby Songa Bulk ASA has assumed the assets, rights and obligations of AGS AS as a whole, against issuance of consideration shares to the former shareholders in AGS AS.
The merger has been accounted as a reverse acquisition whereby AGS AS is the accounting acquirer, i.e. the continuing entity. As the transaction is not a business combination, but a share-based transaction, it is accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2. In the consolidated financial statement of AGS ASA (former Songa Bulk ASA), the transaction is accounted for as a continuation of the financial statements of AGS AS. Assets and liabilities of Songa Bulk ASA are recognised at fair value in accordance with IFRS 2.
The opening balance from Songa Bulk ASA comprised cash and an investment in shares measured at fair value of MNOK 5.2, as well as a short-term liability (Trade payable) of MNOK 1.2. The rest was other contribution equity restricted, see table below.

The consolidated financial statements comprise the Parent company Axxis Geo Solutions ASA and its subsidiaries.
Subsidiaries are all entities over which the Company has control. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the income statement from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.
All intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.
The Group presents its consolidated financial reports in NOK, which also is the functional currency of the Parent Company and most if its subsidiaries. For presentation in consolidated accounts, the assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with functional currency other than NOK are translated into NOK at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statement of profit or loss are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange rate differences arising from the translation to presentation currency are recognized in OCI.
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to NOK using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in non-functional currencies are translated into functional currency spot rate of exchange ruling at the date of the balance sheet. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominate in non-functional currencies are recognized in the income statement.
Revenue from contracts with customers comes from two different business models.

Contract seismic surveys is projects where the Group performs seismic services in accordance with customer specifications and the customer is the owner of all data collected. The contracts can include both collection of data and processing. If both services are included in a contract, the contract consist of two performance obligations. The Group has so far only had contract without prosessing.
Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is being made. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received for services in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of withholding and value-added taxes.
The Company applies the practical expedient for short-term advances received from customers. That is, the promised amount of consideration is not adjusted for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between satisfying the performance obligation and the payment is one year or less. Where the Company has satisfied its performance obligations and has a right to consideration, an accrued revenue is recognized. The principles applied for each of the main types of contracts with customers are described in more detail below.
The Group recognizes contract revenue (whether priced as lump sum, day rate or unit price) based on the percentage of completion method (POC). Progress is measured in a manner generally consistent with the physical progress on the project. The revenue recognition is based on a split between acquisition work and data processing, only if both services are included in the contract. For the acquisition work the progress is based on the number of energy releases in the water. The progress of the data processing is measured based on estimated time of completion. Any amount received exceeding recognized revenue, is recorded on the balance sheet as a contract liability. Conversely, recognized revenue exceeding payments received is recognized as a contract asset, or a receivable if there is a right to payment that is not conditional of additional performance.
The contracts may include mobilization fees. These payments are included in the transaction price. No revenue is recognized before the data acquisition commences.
Any mobilization cost is capitalized as a cost to fulfil a contract and are amortized over the data acquisition period. The costs primarily relate to relocation of vessels and other preparation costs that can be directly allocated to the contract. The Group incur these costs to be able to fulfil the contract, and they are capitalized to the extent that they are expected to be recovered by the contract.
Multi-client is granting of licenses to the Group's multi-client library. In the contracts the customer gets a non-exclusive right to use the data from a specific survey, where the Group already has, or will collect and process data. The Group owns the data in the library. Before the Group initiates a new multi-client survey, there will already be contracts with one or more customers. Revenues from these contracts are defined as prefunding revenues. The advantages for pre-funding customers are generally the possibility to influence the project specifications, early access to acquired data, and discounted prices Revenues from contracts that are signed after the survey is complete are defined as Late sales.
The Company recognizes pre-funding revenue as "right to use" licenses and the revenue is recognized at the point in time when the "right to use" license is transferred to the customer.
When the license is transferred to the customer depends on the specific contract but is typically upon completion of processing of the survey and granting of access to the finished data or delivery of the finished data.

Incremental cost of obtaining contracts with customers are recognized as an asset to the extent that the entity expects to recover those costs. The incremental cost of obtaining a contract are those costs that would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained. The costs are amortized over the same period as revenue for the related contract is recognized.
Customers are granted a license from the Group which entitles them to access a specific part of the multi-client data library. The license payment is fixed and is required when the license is granted. The late sale revenue is recognized when a valid licensing agreement is signed, and the multi-client library data made accessible to the customer.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment loss. Historical cost includes costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the item. Costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, if appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Costs of all repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method, over the estimated useful life.
The asset's residual values, useful lives, and method of depreciation are reviewed at each balance sheet date and adjusted if appropriate. If an asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, the asset is immediately impaired to the recoverable amount.
Assets under construction are carried at cost, less accumulated impairment. Depreciation commences when the asset is ready for its intended use.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognized.
The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for shortterm leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
The lease term is determined on the commencement date of the lease, and corresponds to the term of the lease contract, unless the Company is reasonably certain that it will exercize contractual extensions or termination options.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes a lease liability measured at the present value of lease payments due under the contract, less any lease incentives receivable, plus the

costs of purchase or termination options if reasonably certain to be exercized. Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds necessary to obtain an asset of similar value in a similar economic environment with similar terms and conditions.
Subsequently, the carrying amount of the lease liability is increased to reflect the accumulation of interest on the liability balance, and reduced as the lease payments are charged to the liability. In addition, the carrying amount of the lease liability is remeasured to reflect contractual modifications, changes to lease payments or changes in the assessment of the lease term.
Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, comprising the initial measurement of lease liability, lease payments made at the commencement date, initial direct costs and estimated restoration costs, less any lease incentives received. Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. The right-of-use assets are also subject to impairment.
The Company has elected to apply the recognition exemption to lease contracts with a duration of less than 12 months, or that relate to assets with an underlying low value. Lease payments associated with short-term leases and leases of low-value assets are expensed on a straight-line basis.
IFRS 16 Leasing was implemented 1 January 2019. IFRS 16 replaced IAS 17 Leases with amendments. The Group used the modified retrospective approach where the right to use asset will equal the lease liability 1 January 2019. The Group used a discount rate based on the incremental borrowing rate 1 January 2019 of 5%.
The Group decided to use the practical expedient in IFRS 16 for short term leases and has therefore not recognise a lease liability and right to use asset for lease contracts with a duration of less than one year. Most of the Groups' lease contracts had a remaining lease term of less than one-year 1 January 2019. Because of this, the Group was not significantly affected by the new standard.
In applying IFRS 16 for the first time, the Group has used the following practical expedients permitted by the standard:
The Group recognized lease liability and right to use asset of NOK 2 million 1 January 2019 for their office leases in Norway and Houston. The lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019 can be reconciled to the total operating lease commitments as of 31. December 2018, as follows:

NOK thousands Total lease commitments 1.1.2019 107 179 - Short term leases not capitalized (105 000) - Low value leases - - Interest element (130) Lease liability 1.1.2019 2 049
Other short-term leases less than 12 months and payments of these leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Until the 2018 financial year, leases of property, plant and equipment were classified as either finance leases or operating leases. The Group only had operational leases in 2018 where lease payments was recognized as operating expense in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives received was recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense over the term of the lease.
Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
Intangible assets with defined useful lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and method are reviewed at least every financial year end.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives (goodwill) are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level.
Other assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows which are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that suffered an impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at the end of each reporting period.
The multi-client library consists of geophysical data to be licensed to customers on a non-exclusive basis. Directly attributable costs associated with the production and development of multi-client projects such as data acquisition and processing, and direct project costs are capitalized. Cost directly attributable to data acquisition and processing include vessel costs, payroll and related costs for crew, project management, agent, other related project costs, hardware/software costs and mobilization costs when relocating a vessel to the survey areas.
The OBN multi-client library will be amortized from the date the processed data are ready to be transferred to customers, using straight line amortization with a useful life 7 years for

(HD) 3D OBN projects and 5 years for 2D OBN projects. Before the library is completed, the Group test for impairment annually. To ensure that value in use above net book value, the Group will perform an additional impairment test after pre-funding revenues are recognized.
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the firstin, first-out (FIFO) method. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The Group's inventory consists primarily of fuel.
Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured using the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. Withholding taxes are included in the tax expense to the extent that a tax credit is available in the income tax in the home state.
Current income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive is recognised in equity or other comprehensive income and not in the income statement.
Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
Deferred tax is provided for using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized, or the deferred tax liability is settled.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is recognised in equity and not in the income statement.
IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments - The interpretation explains how to recognize, and measure deferred and current income tax assets and liabilities where there is uncertainty over a tax treatment. The Group did not have any effect of the new interpretation.
The Group operates a defined contribution plan. The net pension cost for the period is presented as an employee expense.

The Group has an option plan for employees and some members of the Board. The fair value of options granted under the plan is recognized as employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The total expense is recognized over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each period, the Group revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest, based on the non-market vesting and service conditions. It recognizes the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.
Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Trade receivables sale of goods and services are held to collect contractual cash flows. They are initially recognised at the transaction price from sale of goods or services and are subsequent measured with a provision for expected credit loss.
Impairment losses are measured at lifetime expected credit losses in accordance with IFRS 9. The Group's impairment model for trade receivable, contract assets and other current assets is a simplified approach based on lifetime expected credit losses (ECL). Impairment is based on an estimate of the probability of default for the financial assets reflecting an unbiased amount determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes; the time value of money and reasonable available information related to past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.
The Group uses an impairment model with the following characteristics: The receivables are organized based on the credit risk of the customers. The primary portfolio is the receivables where invoicing is done to customers with a high credit rating, typical large listed or state-owned oil companies. This portfolio has a low risk of default and therefore no impairment loss is initially recognized based on the expectation of all of the accounts being paid. Further, an individual assessment is performed on specific customer receivables, typically if a customer is in known financial distress or has declared bankruptcy.
On confirmation that the trade receivable will not be collectable, the gross carrying value of the asset is written off against the associated provision.
At initial recognition, the Group measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset not at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in profit or loss.
Receivables other than account receivables from sale of goods and services are also held in a business model to collect the contractual cash flows. The receivables are subsequently measured at amortized cost with a provision for expected credit loss. The impairment methodology applied depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
Financial liabilities represent a contractual obligation to deliver cash in the future. Financial

liabilities, with the exception of derivatives, are initially recognized at fair value net of transaction costs directly attributable to the transaction and are subsequently measured at amortized cost. Financial liabilities are derecognized when the obligation is discharged through payment or when the Group is legally released from the primary responsibility for the liability.
The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method.
Cash and cash equivalents include cash at hand, deposits held at call with banks with original maturities of three months or less.
The following standards and interpretations have been issued but are not mandatory for annual reporting periods ending on 31 December 2019. Standards and interpretations not affecting the Group have not been disclosed.
The amended definition of a business requires an acquisition to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. The definition of the term 'outputs' is amended to focus on goods and services provided to customers, generating investment income and other income, and it excludes returns in the form of lower costs and other economic benefits. The amendments will likely result in more acquisitions being accounted for as asset acquisitions.
The IASB has made amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting.
Estimates and Errors which use a consistent definition of materiality throughout International Financial Reporting Standards and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting, clarify when information is material and incorporate some of the guidance in IAS 1 about immaterial
information. In particular, the amendments clarify:
The Group does not expect any material implementation effects for any of the other new or amended standards or interpretations.
The Group makes estimate and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates could deviate from the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

The Group uses the percentage of completion method in accounting for revenue for contract seismic surveys. Progress is measured in a manner generally consistent with the physical progress on the project. Use of the percentage of completion method requires the Group to estimate the services performed to date as a proportion of the total service to be performed. The proportion of services performed to total services to be performed can differ from management's estimate, influencing the amount of revenue recognized in the period.
The Group currently has one multi-client library under development. The Group entered into an agreement with TGS in 2018, where the parties have agreed that the library will be a jointly owned asset and each party will be entitled to 50% of the revenues generated by the library.
Management has evaluated the substance of the agreement and concluded that the contract is not within the scope of IFRS 15. This is because it is considered to be a collaboration agreement as TGS is not considered to be a customer. Management has established an accounting policy where the rules for joint operations in IFRS 11 Joint arrangements are used by analogy. The Group recognize its cost net of TGS investment as intangible asset and will recognize its 50% share of revenues generated by the library.
The Group uses the discounted cash flow method to estimate the present value of the multi-client library, project Utsira, based on expectations of future multi-client late sales according the cash flow prognosis used by management for 2020.
After this calculation the multi-client library was written down with NOK 308.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2019.
Further, the goodwill was written down with NOK with 15.9 million to zero in the fourth quarter of 2019. The goodwill is related to the investment in the subsidiary AGS Inc, the historical value of the goodwill arose from the knowledge and competence of the personnel in the subsidiary. This knowledge and competence have since then been incorporated into the Group as a whole and is no longer attributable to a single subsidiary of the Group.
The Group prepares and maintains a rolling P&L and cash forecast, in addition to a rollforward of key balance sheet items (trade payables, long-term debt, and cash). The forecast is based on Management's expectation of operational outlook derived from existing pipeline opportunities and expected attached revenues. The forecast is adjusted for the current trough in the oil and gas markets and the Group's financial situation. In the Group's current forecast, cash and cash equivalents are expected to remain positive for the 12-month period following the 2019 financial statements.
The Group's cash flow forecast is based on the following: the Group's existing firm commitments and operational plan, the Group's expectation of future opportunities, and the Group's corporate activities to improve the financial situation, specifically;
The financial forecast has been prepared based on the current challenging market conditions. There are, however, risks related to the assumptions in the forecast:
x There is a risk that the Group will not be successful in completing the ongoing restructuring process.

The annual accounts are prepared on the assumption of a going concern. However, the Company's and the Group's financial situation is unsustainable as equity is negative and liquidity is under pressure and hence there is material uncertainty related to the going concern assumption. Currently, the Group has insufficient cash to pay its account payables. The Group is working on a restructuring plan with its key creditors to reduce the short-term liabilities. If successful, this will strengthen the working capital and improve the liquidity for the Group. The outcome of these discussions are uncertain and the going concern assumption is subject to material uncertainty as outlined above.
Management have used its best judgements in the evaluation of the going concern assumption. Although there are significant uncertainties and risk listed above related to events or conditions that might impact the future cash flows, the management is of the opinion that the going concern assumption is appropriate and the accounts are prepared under the going concern assumption. If the Company is unsuccessful with the above activities, the financial statements do not reflect impairment charges or provisions that might be required if the Company or Group was liquidated or the assets sold in a distressed situation.
Management has evaluated the merger between Songa Bulk ASA and Axxis Geo Solutions AS (AGS AS) with a reverse share split, forming Axxis Geo Solutions ASA (AGS ASA), not to be considered a business combination under IFRS, but a reverse takeover/acquisition of a non-trading shell company. There were no employees, no processes or no asset except cash that was transferred in the merge.
The European Securities and Markets Authority ("ESMA") issued guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures ("APMs") that came into force on 3 July 2016. The Company has defined and explained the purpose of the APMs in the paragraphs below.
The alternative performance measures presented by the Group may be determined or calculated differently by other companies.
EBITDA means Earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, depreciation and impairments. The Group uses EBITDA because it is useful when evaluating operating profitability as it excludes amortization, depreciation and impairments related to investments that occurred in the past. Also, the measure is useful when comparing the Company's performance to other companies.

For full overview of Segment vs IFRS see note 3 Segment.
The segment reporting is based on the accounting principles used in the internal reporting, and deviates from IFRS. In the segment reporting, multi-client pre-funding revenues are recognized based on the percentage of completion method, compared to delivery of processed data according to IFRS. In the segment reporting, there is amortization for the multi-client library equal to percentage of recognised revenue according to budget, while the financial statements are based on a principle where amortization begins when the library is completed. Amortization of goodwill in segment reporting and only impairment in IFRS reporting.
Earnings before interest and tax is an important measure for the Group as it provides an indication of the profitability of the operating activities. The EBIT margin presented is defined as EBIT (Operating Profit) divided by net revenues.
The multi-client prefunding percentage is calculated by dividing the multi-client prefunding revenues, as per segment reporting, by the operational investments in the multi-client library, excluding investments related to projects where payments to the vendors are contingent on sales (risk-sharing investments). The multi-client prefunding percentage is considered an important measure as it indicates how the Company's financial risk is reduced by multi-client investments.
Backlog is defined as the total value of future segment revenue on signed customer contracts, letter of awards or where all major contracts terms are agreed. The Group believes that the Backlog figure is a useful measure in that it provides an indication of the amount of customer backlog and committed activity in the coming periods.
The Group operates two segments, Multi-client and Contract, based on the two different revenue streams for the Company.
The segment reporting is based on the accounting principles used in the internal reporting, and deviates from IFRS. In the segment reporting, multi-client pre-funding revenues are recognized based on the percentage of completion method, compared to delivery of processed data according to IFRS. In the segment reporting, there is amortization for the multi-client library equal to percentage of

recognised revenue according to budget, while the financial statements are based on a principle where amortization begins when the library is completed.
Revenue recognition for the Contract segment is based on the same principles as the IFRS financial statements. Operating expenses are allocated to the segments based on the use of resources and assets. Share based payment cost and capitalized cost of obtaining contracts has not been allocated to segments.

The contracts for seismic surveys have an expected duration of less than one year. Because of this, the Group does not disclose information about transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partly unsatisfied performance obligations for these contracts. Contracts for seimic surveys ususally have a billing shcedule with frequent billings, so there will not be a material difference in timing of the payments and the progress in the projects.

The Group has per end 2019 completed 100% of the data collection phase of an ongoing multi-client survey in the North Sea. This is a collaboration project where the Group has a 50% share. The Group's share of contracted pre-funding revenue is USD 26.9 million (NOK 233.7 million) which will be recognized as a revenue when the data is transferred to the customers. This is expected to occur in 2020. All contract liabilities recognized relates to these contracts.
For pre-funding contracts a significant portion of the payments is received during the data collection phase, which is before the customer receives the final processed data.

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are classified as current assets as they are generally due for payment within 30 to 60 days. Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of unconditional consideration, unless significant financing components exist. In such instances, trade receivables are recognized at fair value. Refer to note 14 (i) for information about credit risk and expected credit loss.
The Group uses an impairment model with the following characteristics: The receivables are organized based on the credit risk of the customers. The primary portfolio is the receivables where invoicing is done to customers with a high credit rating, typical large listed or state-owned oil companies. This portfolio has a low risk of default and therefore no impairment loss is initially recognized based on the expectation of all of the accounts being paid. Further, an individual assessment is performed on specific customer receivables, typically if a customer is in known financial distress or has declared bankruptcy. Per year-end 2019 the Group has two main client, being major oil companies and one of them large listed company. All outstanding trade receivables has been paid during 2020.
In addition, the Group has accrued revenue for ongoing project, which has not been invoiced the customers per year-end, see also note 10.
Accrued revenue as of December 2019 was NOK 69.6 million, compared to zero as of December 2018. These accrued revenue is related to ongoing Middle East project and Brazil project, the accrued

revenue is following the same impairment model as ordinary trade receivables. As of December 2019, there were no indicators for the need of impairment.

According to IFRS the carrying amount of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
Management regularly evaluates its fleet plan and capital expenditure level in light of market conditions. In 2019 and 2018 management performed such evaluations which did not resulted in impairments related to fixed assets for the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.
The Group has no asset held for sale.

Refer to note 16 Leases for contractual commitments. The company has no fully amortized intangible assets that are still in use per 31.12.2019. The Groups MCL is pledged as security for USD 20 million.

The Multi-client library (MCL) is an intangible assets in Axxis Multi Client AS (AMC) and are considered one CGU. The MCL will be amortizised from the date the processed data are ready to be transferred to customers according to IFRS.
According to IFRS the MCL should be tested for impairment if the circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. The Group perform quarterly testing for impairment and per fourth quarter 2019 the sales estimate was updated. The industry is known for uncertainty of when the late sales will happen, rather than the size of the late sales. For financial purposes the Group used the lower range sale estimates and weight near term (next two years) estimates in detail. The WACC used for calculated NPV (Net Present Value) is 12,44 % same as the Oilfield cost of capital from Stern. The MCL was written down to USD 30 million in Segment reporting per December 2019.

In 2017 the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Axxis Geo Solutions Inc. The fair value of the net identifiable assets was NOK 818 thousand. The consideration was 85 849 786 shares issued from Axxis Geo Solutions AS (now Axxis Geo Solutions ASA), with a fair value of NOK 16.7 million. The difference between the fair value of the consideration and net assets aquired was recognized as goodwill with NOK 15.9 milllion. The historical value of the goodwill arose from the knowledge and competence of the personnel in the subsidiary. This knowledge and competence have since then been incorporated into the Group as a whole and is no longer attributable to a single subsidiary of the Group. The basis for the goodwill has changed and gave the Group indicators to perform new write down analysis. Based on this the goodwill was written down to zero as of December 2019.

The Group is exposed to market specific and general economic cycles and macro-economic fluctuations, since changes in the general economic situation affect the demand from our clients. The Group's business performance depends upon production and development spending by oil and gas companies. Historically, in times of low oil price, demand in exploration spending, where the Group is active, has been reduced in much greater extent than production related spending.
For the purpose of the Group's capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent.
The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or repay or issue new debt. The Group monitors capital using a equity ratio, which is the book value of equity over the book value of assets in the Group's segment reporting. The Group's policy and target is to keep the equity ratio over 35%.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Group's capital management, among other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would require the Company to take necessary actions to improve and fullfill the requirements. Refer to Note 13 for information regarding financial covenants related to the Group's interest bearing debt.
No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018.
The Group use bank loans in addition to equity for financing purposes. The purpose of these financial instruments is to ensure that the Group has financial flexibility for investments that are necessary for the Group's operations. In addition, the Group has items such as trade receivables, trade payables etc. which is directly related to the business's daily operations. The Group does not use financial instruments for hedging purposes. Risk management procedures have been established by the Board and handled by the CFO.
The Group is exposes to financial risk linked to interest rate risk, liquidity risk, currency risk and credit risk. The Group's management has a continuous assessment to identify and evaluate financial risks, and sets guidelines for how to handle them.
The Group does not have any financial derivatives in 2019 or 2018.
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk related to trade receivables and other current receivables.
The Group applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.

To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The Group has not experienced any credit losses. Current and expected future customers are oil and gas companies with sound credit ratings. Also for other companies in the industry, historic credit losses has been neglectible. Because expected credit loss is considered to be a clearly immaterial amount, no provision has been made.

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the group, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due without special agreement in advance.
Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.
The Group`s main interest rate risk arises from loan from Eksportkreditt/GIEK, which expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk. The Group does not use financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk. The Group has
no financial leases. All charter parties are on short-term leases, i.e. less than one year.
Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are interest free and with a term of less than one year, so there is no significant interest rate risk associated with these financial assets and liabilities.
The Group's sensitivity to potential changes in interest rates with an increase in 50 basis points would increase interest expense for the period with appoximately NOK 132 thousands for 2019 (2018: NOK 37 thousands).
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. The Group's strategy for managing liquidity

risk is to have sufficient liquidity at all times in order to meet its financial liabilities at maturity, both under normal and exceptional circumstances, without risking unacceptable losses or at the expense of the Group`s reputation. The Group is working on a restructuring plan with its key creditors to reduce the short-term liabilities. This will strengthen the working capital and improve the liquidity for the Group. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to obtain additional shareholder funding. Failure to access necessary liquidity could require the Group to scale back its operations or could have other materially adverse consequences for its business and its ability to meet its obligations.
The table below provides an overview of the maturity profile of all financial liabilites. For bank loans the stated amount of book value is included estimated interest payments. Other items are stated at booked amounts. In cases where the counterparty may claim earlier redemption, the amount is placed in the earliest period the payment may be required from the counterparty.

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk, primarily the USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilites denominated in a currency that is not the functional currency of the relevant group entity. The Group is exposed to currency risk as a large part of the groups revenues are in USD. Profit after tax for the Group is also affected by changes in exchange rates, as earnings from foreign companies are converted to NOK using the average exchange rate for the period.
The NOK denominated bank loans are expected to be repaid with receipts from US dollar denominated sales. The foreign currency exposure of these loans has not been hedged.
The table below shows the Group's sensitivity to potential changes in exchange rates. The calculation takes into account the currency translation of all consolidated foreign subsidiaries. The calculation in the table shows the effect on consolidated profit / loss on the average exchange rate.

The Group`s significant operations in foreign countries expose it to risks related to foreign currency movements. Currency exchange rates fluctuate due to several factors, and these include; international balance of payments, economic and financial conditions, government intervention, speculation and other factors.

IFRS 16 Leases has from a lessee viewpoint eliminated the classification of leases as either operating leases or financial leases. Instead all leases are treated in a similar way to finance leases under IAS 17.
The standard was effective for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019 and was adopted by the Group from the same date.
For the Group only office space comes under the classification of leases. Vessels and other seismic equipment on short term leases comes under the classification of commitments.
Lease assets are included in the balance sheet under the item property, plant and equipment. The non current part of the lease liability is included in the balance sheet under the item interst bearing debt non current, and the current part under interest bearing debt current, refer to note 14.

The impacts of COVID-19 on businesses across the globe is immense and presenting new challenges almost daily to our normal business practices. AGS has been planning for and monitoring developments since the initial spread of the virus and has taken a series of important steps to maintain the continuity of our services for our customers and to safeguard the health of our employees and stakeholders. We are pleased to advise that while many aspects of the Global mitigations have been disruptive, we have been able to substantially maintain our operations close to pre COVID 19 level's.
AGS has had a committee dedicated to ongoing business continuity related issues since the onset of the virus. Regular meetings are being held internally and collaboration with our customers, employee's, vendors, stakeholders and industry associations to remain informed and updated on the global reaction to the virus and how it could affect our people and business.
AGS' has developed mitigation plans specific to each ongoing operation and continuously reviews them to ensure it is current with the information that becomes available to us each day.
As the health and wellbeing of our employees is of the utmost importance to us, we are working to ensure our people are protected while travelling and at the workplace. We have implemented a prescreening program for all field crew prior to travelling from home, immediately before joining a vessel and thereafter at regular intervals throughout operations offshore. All AGS vessels have health professionals onboard with fully equipped hospital facilities and the ability to isolate crew members if required.

All onshore staff have been working from home and encouraged to practice social distancing when required to go out for essential requirements. Meetings are being scheduled as video conferences and have been effective in the coordinated efforts made to support field operations fully with the high quality we are used to.
All previously planned business-related travel has been postponed unless it is business critical and approved by executive management.
Our thoughts are with all those affected by this pandemic and we will continuously work to ensure the safety and integrity or our operations.

Axxis Geo Solutions ASA is a public limited listed company incorporated in Norway.
The Company's registered office is at Strandveien 50, 1366 Lysaker, Norway.
The Company applies the same accounting policies as described in note 1 and 2 in the notes to the consolidated financial statements where relevant, except that unrealized foreign exchange gain (loss) on non-current intercompany loans is recognized in the statements of profit and loss.
Shares in subsidiaries (see note 22) are presented at cost less impairment. Impairment is recognized based upon the carrying value of the individual shares and net intercompany receivables in the subsidiaries less the estimated recoverable amount (based on discounted estimated future cash flows). If estimated recoverable amounts increase, impairment charges are reversed accordingly. There is no fixed plan for repayment of long-term intercompany receivables and payables.
The Company operates only one segments, which is based on the Contract revenue stream, and therefore no split of operating expenses has been included in the note. Revenue recognition for the Contract segment is based on the same principles as the IFRS financial statements.

The Company has no current contract liabilities per 31.12.2019.
The contracts for seismic surveys have an expected duration of less than one year. Because of this, the Group does not disclose information about transaction price allocated to unsatisfied or partly unsatisfied performance obligations for these contracts. Contracts for seimic surveys ususally have a billing shcedule with frequent billings, so there will not be a material difference in timing of the payments and the progress in the projects.

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services rendered in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables are classified as current assets as they are generally due for payment within 30 to 60 days. Trade receivables are recognized initially at the amount of unconditional consideration, unless significant financing components exist. In such instances, trade receivables are recognized at fair value. Refer to note 14 (i) for information about credit risk and expected credit loss.

The Company use the same metod as the Group. The Group uses an impairment model with the following characteristics: The receivables are organized based on the credit risk of the customers. The primary portfolio is the receivables where invoicing is done to customers with a high credit rating, typical large listed or state-owned oil companies. This portfolio has a low risk of default and therefore no impairment loss is initially recognized based on the expectation of all of the accounts being paid. Further, an individual assessment is performed on specific customer receivables, typically if a customer is in known financial distress or has declared bankruptcy. Per year-end 2019 the Company has two main client, being major oil companies and one of them large listed company. All outstanding trade receivables has been paid during 2020.
In addition, the Company has accrued revenue for ongoing project, which has not been invoiced the customers per year-end, see also note 9.
Accrued revenue as of December 2019 was NOK 16.0 million, compared to zero as of December 2018. These accrued revenue is related to ongoing Brazil project, the accrued revenue is following the same impairment model as ordinary trade receivables. As of December 2019, there were no indicators for the need of impairment.

The Company is exposed to market specific and general economic cycles and macro-economic fluctuations, since changes in the general economic situation affect the demand from our clients. The Company's business performance depends upon production and development spending by oil and gas companies. Historically, in times of low oil price, demand in exploration spending, where the Company is active, has been reduced in much greater extent than production related spending.
For the purpose of the Company's capital management, capital includes issued capital, share premium and all other equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent.
The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or repay or issue new debt. The Company monitors capital using a equity ratio, which is the book value of equity over the book value of assetsin the Company's segment reporting. The Company's policy and target is to keep the equity ratio over 35%.
In order to achieve this overall objective, the Company's capital management, among other things, aims to ensure that it meets financial covenants attached to the interest-bearing loans and borrowings that define capital structure requirements. Breaches in meeting the financial covenants would permit the bank to immediately call loans and borrowings. Refer to Note 13 for information regarding financial covenants related to the Company's interest bearing debt.

No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018.
Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to discharge an obligation. The Company is mainly exposed to credit risk related to trade receivables and other current receivables.
The Company applies the IFRS 9 simplified approach to measuring expected credit losses which uses a lifetime expected loss allowance for all trade receivables.
To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been Companyed based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due. The Company has not experienced any credit losses. Current and expected future customers are oil and gas companies with sound credit ratings. Also for other companies in the industry, historic credit losses has been neglectible. Because expected credit loss is considered to be a clearly immaterial amount, no provision has been made.

Trade receivables are written off when there is no reasonable expectation of recovery. Indicators that there is no reasonable expectation of recovery include, amongst others, the failure of a debtor to engage in a repayment plan with the Company, and a failure to make contractual payments for a period of greater than 120 days past due without special agreement in advance.
Impairment losses on trade receivables are presented as net impairment losses within operating profit. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off are credited against the same line item.
The Company`s main interest rate risk arises from loan from Eksportkreditt/GIEK, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. The Company does not use financial instruments to hedge interest rate risk. The Company has no financial leases. All charter parties are on short-term leases, i.e. less than one year.

Trade and other receivables and trade and other payables are interest free and with a term of less than one year, so there is no significant interest rate risk associated with these financial assets and liabilities.
The Company's sensitivity to potential changes in interest rates with an increase in 50 basis points would increase interest expense for the period with appoximately NOK 132 thousands for 2019 (2018: NOK 37 thousands).
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities to meet obligations when due and to close out market positions. The Company's strategy for managing liquidity risk is to have sufficient liquidity at all times in order to meet its financial liabilities at maturity, both under normal and exceptional circumstances, without risking unacceptable losses or at the expense of the Company`s reputation.
The Company is working on a restructuring plan with its key creditors to reduce the short-term liabilities. This will strengthen the working capital and improve the liquidity for the Company.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional shareholder funding. Failure to access necessary liquidity could require the Group to scale back its operations or could have other materially adverse consequences for its business and its ability to meet its obligations.
The table below provides an overview of the maturity profile of all financial liabilites. For bank loans the stated amount of book value is included estimated interest payments. Other items are stated at booked amounts. In cases where the counterparty may claim earlier redemption, the amount is placed in the earliest period the payment may be required from the counterparty.

To the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Axxis Geo Solutions ASA
We have audited the financial statements of Axxis Geo Solutions ASA, which comprise the financial statements for the parent company and the Group. The financial statements for the parent company and the Group comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2019, statements of comprehensive income, the statements of cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with laws and regulations and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company and the Group as at 31 December 2019 and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
We conducted our audit in accordance with laws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Norway, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities as required by law and regulations. We have also complied with our other ethical obligations in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We draw attention to Note 1.1 – "Going concern" of the consolidated financial statements, which indicates that the Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon a successful outcome of the restructuring plan including securing sufficient liquidity. This indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not reflect impairment charges or provisions that might be required if the Company is liquidated or the assets sold in a distressed situation. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for 2019. In addition to the matter(s) described in the Material uncertainty related to going concern section, we have determined the matters described below to be the key audit

matters to be communicated in our report These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
Multi-client library accounts for NOK 400 million of the Group's assets. The Company performed an impairment evaluation and determined the value in use to assess impairment. The Company estimated value in use based on present value of estimated future sales forecasts. The Company based the forecasts on budgets and assumptions about future market demand and spending on exploration and production by oil companies, including licensing activities. The forecasts require considerable insight and judgment from management about future market conditions. The impairment evaluation of the multi-client data library was a key audit matter based on the continued uncertain market conditions and the significant judgement involved. In 2019 impairment losses of NOK 309 million was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
We evaluated management's assessment of impairment indicators and management's estimates related to sales forecasts. Our audit procedures included inquiries and evaluations of management's assumptions regarding the current market situation and expectations about future oil prices, licensing rounds and exploration activities. Furthermore, we evaluated the valuation methodology and the discount rate applied in the value in use model. We also tested the mathematical accuracy of the value in use calculations and performed sensitivity analysis of key assumptions. We also assessed the Company's disclosures regarding those assumptions and the impairment losses of multi-client data library recorded.
We refer note 11b in the consolidated financial statements.
Other information consists of the information included in the Company's annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer (management) are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of the auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with law, regulations and generally accepted auditing principles in Norway, including ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Based on our audit of the financial statements as described above, it is our opinion that the information presented in the Board of Directors' report concerning the financial statements, the going concern assumption, and proposal for the allocation of the result is consistent with the financial statements and complies with the law and regulations.
Based on our audit of the financial statements as described above, and control procedures we have considered necessary in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information, it is our opinion that management has fulfilled its duty to ensure that the Company's accounting information is properly recorded and documented as required by law and bookkeeping standards and practices accepted in Norway.
