Business review

Hunter Group

The management continued assessment of numerous investment opportunities within the oil service sector.

Focus and capital discipline is key when assessing opportunities in order to generate sustainable value.

General for the market, is relatively low M&A activity within targeted segments, therefore the management team has spent a lot of time in search of potential candidates.

One of the challenges, is to find the right opportunity, where combination of sustainable value proposition and capital structure will generate long term shareholder value for Hunter Group.

Indicator

Reorganization of Badger Explorer technology in a new Indicator AS was completed during the quarter.

The reorganized Indicator has limited cash burn from year end.

Indicator has continued the dialogue with CNPC-DR for sponsoring of the Development Program, however the dialogue with CNPC-DR is challenging.

Hunter Group is pursuing alternatives with respect to Indicator and will keep the investors updated accordingly.

Dwellop

Gulf Marine Services (GMS) received approval from American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for its selfpropelled self-elevating support vessel (SESV), outfitted with Dwellop's Cantilivered Work Over Rig (WOR). The SESV is now being marketed and Dwellop's WOR solution has received considerable interest.

The market is still very demanding and no significant orders were received in Q3, neither has any significant tenders quoted by Dwellop been awarded to competitors.

The sales team has been strengthened with more resources and coordination of efforts which has contributed to an increased flow of quotations.

In September Dwellop was certified according to the new ISO 9001:2015 standard.

No material development in the patent infringement accusations from WellPartner. Hunter Group is, as disclosed earlier, held harmless should a negative outcome materialize. Management still believe that these accusations will not impact the business negatively.

In October, Dwellop received a termination notice from ENI with respect to rental of an tension frame for the Goliat platform. Dwellop is assessing whether to initiate action regarding the legality of the termination. The monthly rental revenues was NOK 0.7m (please see note 10 for further information).

Outlook

The outlook for oil services still remains challenging. Even with oil price levels above USD 60 and oil companies apparently are entering into expansion mode, operational and investments decisions are lagging. It is anticipated that the increased oil price, in combination with reserves depletion is likely to improve activity levels in the oil and gas industry.

A positive market signal is that oil companies now have started to pay for engineering studies.

Looking forward there are reasons to believe that there will be an improvement in the market for Dwellop, as activity is increasing and numbers of RFQ's (Request For Quotation) are rising. Furthermore, Dwellop is in discussions with clients regarding WOR, WIC and Hunter Crane and management strive to materialize these opportunities.

In light of the positive market signals, Hunter Group will continue to focus on investment in technologies within oil companies "opex territory" which will increase their return on existing offshore infrastructure.

Notes to the Hunter Group condensed consolidated financial statements for the first nine months 2017

Accounting principles

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the financial statements as of 31 December 2016 (IFRS as adopted by EU). Please refer to the financial statements for 2016 for description of the accounting policies. The Group has adopted the following accounting policies in 2017 because of the acquisition:

Consolidation

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealised gains and losses resulting from intragroup transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Goodwill

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of consideration transferred and the amount recognised over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquire are assigned to those units. The Company assesses whether there are any indications that goodwill is impaired at each reporting date. Goodwill is tested for impairment, annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment of goodwill is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units, to which the goodwill relates.

1A. Where the recoverable amount of the cashgenerating units is less than their carrying amount an impairment loss is recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost incurred in bringing raw materials to its present location and condition are accounted for by purchase cost on a first in, first out basis. Cost incurred in bringing finished goods and work in progress to its present location and condition are accounted for by cost of direct materials and labor and a proportion of manufacturing overheads based on normal operating capacity but excluding borrowing costs.

Revenue recognition

Revenue from sale of goods is recognised at the time of delivery. Services are recognised as they are delivered. Where the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period. The percentage of completion is measured based on the proportion of hours incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total estimated hours in the project. For projects that are expected to generate a loss, the entire estimated loss is taken immediately.

Accounting effect of the new standards 1B.

IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers IASB and FASB have issued a new joint standard for revenue recognition, IFRS 15. The standard supersedes all existing standards and interprettations for revenue recognition. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that revenue is recognized to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, and then at an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard applies to all income contracts and contains a model for recognition and measurement of sale of certain non-financial assets.

Hunter Group is in the process of evaluation the potential consequences of the new standard. The main focus is assessment of long term contracts as they represent a material part of the Group's total revenue. It is expected that revenue recognition over time will continue as the main accounting method for long-term contracts. The Company is currently measuring progress on ongoing projects based on hours incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total hours in the project, and the new standard might change the principle for how accruals of progress for ongoing projects at period end will be measured. There is no material ongoing projects in the company at 30 September 2017. The assessment for the accounting impact for the new standard will continue in 2017. The standard has accounting effect from 1 January 2018, and the company has not yet decided if they will implement the standard by applying the full retrospective method or the modified retrospective method.

IFRS 16 Leases

Effective from 1 January, 2019, IFRS 16 covers the recognition of leases and related disclosure in the financial statements, and will replace IAS 17 Leases. In the financial statement of lessees, the new standard requires recognition of all contracts that qualify under its definition of a lease as rightof-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet, while lease payments are to be reflected as interest expense and reduction of lease liabilities. The right-of-use assets are to be depreciated in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment over the shorter of each contract's term and the assets' useful life. The standard consequently implies a significant change in lessees' accounting for leases currently defined as operating leases under IAS 17, both with regard to impact on the balance sheet and the statement of income. With regards to lessor accounting IASB has decided to substantially carry forward the lessor accounting model in IAS 17. The standard requires adoption either on a full retrospective basis, or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially recognizing the standard as an adjustment to retained earnings at the date of initial application.

The Company is currently in process for review of its rental agreements for assessing if these will change category from operational to financial lease at time of implementing the new standard. The new standard is expected to have an impact on the accounting of leasing of premises as the Company rent the buildings it operates its business from. It has not yet been analyzed in detail what consequences the new standard will have for the consolidated accounts.

Hunter Group will adopt IFRS 16 on 1 January, 2019.

Business combinations 2.

Hunter Group ASA completed the acquisition of all the shares in Dwellop pursuant to a share purchase agreement (the "SPA") dated 2 May 2017 (the "Acquisition"). As a result thereof, Dwellop became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the shares in Dwellop, the Company issued 192,307,692 new ordinary Shares, each with a par value of NOK 0.125 and with a fixed subscription price of NOK 0.65 per Share. In addition NOK 60,000,000 was settled in cash.

The consideration of the shares is NOK 60,000,000 in cash in addition to issuance of 192,307,692 ordinary Shares at a fair value at the closing date of NOK 0.42 resulting in a total purchase price of NOK 140,769,231. The Company has provisionally determined that the excess value based on the purchase price compared to book values as of 31 December 2016 primarily relates to patents value and customer relation value.

Dwellop is an independent systems and technology provider delivering topside handling equipment for well intervention, workover and plugging & abandonment (P&A) operations. A large part of the business is focused on the design and manufacturing of high quality mechanical and structural wireline, coil tubing and pipe handling equipment for the global well intervention market. Dwellop's business model covers both sale and rental of equipment and systems to E&P companies, service providers and vessel/rig owners, and the company has a broad product portfolio for safe and cost efficient well intervention operations.

The acquisition has been accounted for using the acquisition method. The completion of the acquisition was done on 2 May 2017 and the company has been consolidated into the Hunter group from 2 May 2017.
