Notes
Note 1 – Basis of presentation
Introduction
The Group accounts for the fourth quarter 2017 comprise Bonheur ASA and its subsidiaries ("the Group") and the shares in associates. The quarterly accounts of 2017 and the Group accounts for 2016 may be obtained by contacting Fred. Olsen & Co., Oslo, or at www.bonheur.no.
Financial framework and accounting principles
The interim accounts have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by EU and the additional requirements in the Norwegian Securities and Trading Act. The accounts do not include all information required for annual accounts and should be read in conjunction with the Group's annual accounts for 2016 and the previous interim reports issued in 2017. The interim financial report for the fourth quarter 2017 was approved by the Company's board on 13 February 2017.
The accounting principles applied by the Group in these condensed interim financial statements are the same as those applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016.
The IASB has issued three new standards that are expected to impact the financial reporting of the group in the future. The group has an ongoing implementation project analyzing IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 16 Leases. The project is not finalized and the assessment below may change as the project progresses.
IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers
The Group has reviewed contracts in all business areas. Based on information gathered to date, and based on the assumptions taken, the group expects as of 31.12.2017 an EBITDA effect of approximately NOK 29 million (EUR 3 million) on delayed recognition of revenue and operating costs from contracts with customers in the Offshore / wind segment. Except from effects in the Offshore / wind segment, no significant impact of IFRS 15 from the other business areas in the Group is expected as of 1 January 2018. The conclusion is that all entities in the Group will transition to IFRS 15 on 1 January 2018 without changing comparatives (the modified retrospective approach).
IFRS 16 – Leases
The Group has compiled leasing contracts in all business areas to be able to estimate the effect for the contracts where Group entities act as a lessee. For contracts where entities act as a lessor, and in addition provide services, the Group continues to analyze potential effects of the interaction between IFRS 15 and IFRS 16. The implementation of IFRS 16 will have no impact on the underlying cash flow.
Based on information gathered to date, and based on the assumptions taken, the group expects as of 31.12.2017 that it may capitalize Right of Use Assets in the range of NOK 300 million to NOK 450 million and correspondingly increase the leasing liability for the group. The effects identified are within NHST and the Offshore drilling segment.
The effect on EBITDA is expected to be an annual increase of approximately NOK 32 million.
The conclusion is that all entities in the Group plan to transition to IFRS 16 on 1 January 2019 without changing comparatives (the modified retrospective approach).
IFRS 9 – Financial instruments
The Group expects no significant effect of the transition to IFRS 9. The conclusion is that all entities in the Group will transition on 1 January 2018 without changing comparatives.
Estimates
The preparation of interim accounts involves the use of appraisals, estimates and assumptions influencing the amounts stated for assets and obligations, revenues and costs. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
As to the offshore drilling segment, there are estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts. Estimating the fair value of the assets in the Offshore drilling segment is a complex process involving a number of key judgements and estimates regarding various inputs. Due to the nature of the assets, the valuation technique includes a discounted cash flow model that uses a number of inputs from internal sources due to lack of relevant and reliable observable independent and external inputs. As a result of the current market situation and because there is more than normal uncertainty concerning when new contracts will materialize and equally in relation to future dayrate levels, the calculation of fair value of the assets in the offshore drilling segment is exposed to high estimation uncertainty.
Note 2 – Property, plant and equipment – investments and disposals
In 2015, indirect owned subsidiaries of Fred. Olsen Renewables AS, commenced construction of the wind farm Brockloch Rig (previous Windy Standard II) in Scotland. The windfarm was completed in 4 quarter 2017.

In addition FOR has intangible assets of NOK 346 million, which is development costs related to wind farms. Such projects are evaluated regularly. Some development projects may not come through to fruition, in which case, previously capitalized costs will be impaired. FOO has intangible assets of NOK 27 million of which 25 million is goodwill.
