ANNUAL REPORT

Golden Energy Offshore Services AS ("the Group") is an offshore service company based in Aalesund, Norway. The Company operates supply vessels, and the Group's fleet is used within the Oil & Gas and Renewable Offshore industry. The Company is listed on Euronext Growth in Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker GEOS.

In 2023 the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Golden Energy Offshore Management AS (GEOM), which transformed the Group from a pure asset owning Group to a fully integrated owner with management and crewing in-house.

Vessels

The Group owns and operates a fleet of modern, homogeneous vessels that are in high demand. At the end of the year the Group had seven platform supply vessels (PSVs) in the fleet. As the time charter equivalents (TCEs) are increasing, the intermediate future looks promising from both an operational and financial perspective. The vessels have operated on both fixed and spot contracts. You can follow our chartering status at our website, https://www.geoff.no/chartering.

In 2023 the Group acquired four PSVs and one subsea support vessel (SSV) from Vroon holding B.V. All vessels from the Vroon acquisition have been delivered and are sailing under the Company's ownership, except the vessel SSV "VOS Sugar". The vessel Energy Scout was sold in January and the SSV "VOS Sugar" was sold in December for a substantial profit. A total of NOK 70.7 million is presented as gain from sale of vessels in the financials.

Results

Revenues increased by NOK 68.0 million (48%) to NOK 209.1 million in 2023 compared to NOK 141.1 million in 2022 due to increase in fleet as well as improved general market conditions. The Group's revenue originates from the operations in the North Sea and the Caribbean. Operating expenses are at approximately the same level in 2023 as in 2022, resulting in improved operating result before depreciations and write downs from negative NOK 15.6 million in 2022 to NOK 127.1 million in 2023. The improvement includes a gain on sale of vessels of NOK 70.7 million.

A previous impairment loss on the vessels were reversed and contributed positively to the operating result with NOK 46.1 million, compared to a reversal of NOK 111 million in 2022. Net financing was negative with NOK 148 million compared to negative NOK 129 million in 2022. The increase is primarily related to increased borrowings.

The Group's profit before tax in 2023 is a loss of NOK 8.5 million, an improvement from a loss of NOK 58 million in 2022. Booked equity per 31.12.2023 is NOK 529 million, with an equity ratio of 34%.

Financing and liquidity

In 2023 the Fleetscape senior loan was settled through repayments and a debt to equity conversion. In connection with the fleet acquisition from Vroon Holding B.V, a sale and leaseback transaction of the vessels VOS Pace, VOS Paradise, VOS Partner, VOS Passion and VOS Sugar, secured new financing issued by Fleetscape. This financing has a five-year horizon, with an interest rate of SOFR + 6.50%. The deal includes purchase options as well as a put option upon expiry of the bareboat charter. The proceeds received from the transaction are recognized as a financial liability and not a lease liability.

In addition, the Group has a NOK 70.0 mill senior secured bond loan with security over the vessel Energy Swan and final maturity 13.06.2024.

With the successful completion of private placements and the current financing situation, the Group is well capitalized and strongly positioned to seize new opportunities and drive strategic objectives.

Cash flow 2023

In 2023, the net cash flow from operating activities amounted to negative NOK 106 million, compared to negative NOK 104 million in 2022. The primary factor contributing to this change are net cash outflows from other net working capital items of NOK 90.9 million.

Regarding investing activities, there was a cash outflow of NOK 1 017 million in 2023, compared to NOK 7 million in the previous year. The cash outflow in 2023 is largely attributed to acquisitions of the Vroon vessels. Cash inflow was NOK 241 million, largely related to the sale of the vessels VOS Sugar and Energy Scout.

For financing activities, the net cash inflow was NOK 923 million in 2023, compared to net cash inflow of NOK 111 million in 2022. The main cash inflows in 2023 are the private placement which raised a net amount of NOK 397.9 million and proceeds from new debt. This was offset by repayment of loan of NOK 368.9 million and interest paid of NOK 79.9 million.

As at 31 December 2023, the cash balance amounted to NOK 41.2 million, leading to a net interestbearing debt of NOK 923.0 million.

Market and future prospects

The increasing activity within the oil and gas and renewable offshore industry has continued into 2023 and the demand for PSVs has improved significantly compared with previous years. We expect strong market conditions and continued demand going forward.

At the end of the year the Company achieved time charter equivalent earnings of approximately NOK 0.2 million per day for the vessels in operation, which is an improvement compared to prior years. The fleet utilization for vessels ready for operations was 94% in the last quarter, and throughout 2023 the Group's vessels had 97% utilization.

Despite the usual slow period in the North Sea spot market, the Company has rarely seen such high demand and tender activity as experienced over the last months. There was significant demand from several regions for medium to long term employment, and day rates for term business continued to climb.

The market continues to improve in multiple regions and the fleet is well positioned to capitalize on several attractive business opportunities going forward. The Group expects that the vessels will continue attracting good charter revenue in its operations. The geopolitical picture in the world now is the factor that can give a certain degree of uncertainty for future developments.

The Group is continuing its focus on environmentally friendly operations through energy efficiency programs and other measures.

Going Concern

The successful refinancing, capital increase, fleet expansion and improved market conditions justify the Board's conclusion that the conditions for a going concern are present. The management's and the board's liquidity forecasts show that with planned operations and with existing options, sufficient liquidity will be generated over the next 12 months to meet the Group's ongoing obligations.

In accordance with the accounting act § 3-3a we confirm that the condition for continued operations is present and that the annual report has been prepared based on the going concern assumption.

Work environment, equality and discrimination

The Group has a clear "Anti-Harassment Policy", forbidding any discriminating against anybody because of their background, sex, age, religion or ethnicity. All employees shall avoid behavior which may be seen as discrimination or harassment. Golden Energy Offshore Services aims for a workplace characterized by diversity and anti-discrimination. To reach this goal, all employees shall treat colleagues, customers, business partners and others with respect.

Employees should also be sensitive to and respectful of cultural differences. The work environment is considered good. Our annual reporting under the Norwegian Transparency Act can be downloaded on the Group's website, https://www.geoff.no/qhse.

NOTES

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Golden Energy Offshore Services AS (the "Company"), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (the "Group") is operating within the offshore service vessel business area.

The Group was incorporated at the end of 2013, the head office located in Aalesund and the Group 's shares are listed on Euronext Growth at the Oslo Stock Exchange.

In 2023 the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Golden Energy Offshore Management AS (GEOM), which transformed the Group from a pure asset owning Group to a fully integrated owner with management and crewing in-house. See note 8 for further details.

The annual accounts were approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on the 19th of April 2024.

1.1 Basis for preparation of the annual report

The annual report is prepared in accordance with the IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and certain disclosure requirements in the Norwegian accounting legislation.

The Company's consolidated accounts have been prepared based on a going concern assumption.

1.2 Functional and presentation currency

The presentation currency and functional currency for all entities within the Group is Norwegian kroner (NOK). Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to the functional currency using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items in foreign currency are converted using the closing rate, non-monetary items measured at historical cost were converted at the time of the transaction. Non-monetary items in foreign currency that are being measured at fair value are converted using the exchange rates at the time when the fair values were determined.

1.3 Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of Golden Energy Offshore Services AS and its subsidiaries. Any deviating accounting principles in subsidiaries are adjusted for upon consolidation.

The consolidated accounts presents the performance and financial position of Golden Energy Offshore Services AS and its subsidiaries as a whole. The consolidated accounts include companies in which Golden Energy Offshore Services AS has direct or indirect ownership of more than 50% of the voting shares, or otherwise has control according to IFRS 10.

1.4 Use of estimates and assessment of accounting principles when creating the accounts

The Management has to some degree used estimates and assumptions that have influenced assets, debt, revenue, costs and information on potential obligations. Future events may result in a change of these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are continuously assessed and are based on best judgment and historical experience. Changes in accounting estimates are booked in the period which

they arise. If the changes affect future periods, the effects are distributed over present and future periods. See note 2 for further information regarding estimation uncertainty.

1.5 Principles for revenue recognition

Revenue for the Group relates primarily to charter parties of the vessels, including crew, are hired in a specific time frame for a contractual rate. The rate includes both an implicit lease revenue for the vessel and additional service components such as crew. The charterer has the right to decide vessel operations within contractual limitations (owner protective restrictions), and the lease falls under the scope of IFRS 16. The agreed upon rate is recognized over time on a straight-line basis, and in accordance with the rates in the contract for various types of work (including stand-by and fully operational rates). The service components are recognized over time on a straight-line basis as services are provided.

1.6 Operating segments

The Group identifies its reportable segments and discloses segment information under IFRS 8 Operating Segments which requires the Group to identify its segments according to the organization and reporting structure used by management. Operating segments are components of a business that are evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer (chief operating decision maker) for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources. For further information please see note 3.

1.7 Taxes

The parent company, the holding companies and the management companies are subject to the ordinary Norwegian rules for taxation. Tax expense in the profit and loss account comprises both tax payable for the period and change in deferred tax is calculated using a 22% tax rate, based on the temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, and tax losses to be carried forward. Net deferred tax benefit is recorded in the balance sheet to the extent that it is likely it can be utilized.

Ship owning subsidiaries are subject to the Norwegian rules for tonnage taxation, which means that there is no taxation of the net operating result, only the net finance result, and a charge based on the tonnage is instead levied.

1.8 Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized as an asset, representing the future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination, that are not individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill is not amortized, but at least tested annually for impairment or whenever impairment indicators occur.

If the impairment test shows that the recoverable amount is lower than booked values, goodwill is written down. Write-downs are irreversible.

1.9 Ships, docking and depreciation

Vessels are measured at acquisition cost less any accumulated depreciations and write-offs. When vessels are sold or disposed of, the value in the balance sheet is derecognized and any gain or loss is presented in profit or loss.

The vessel values are decomposed into vessel and docking. The Group's vessels are depreciated over a defined remaining working life, with a presumed residual value of the vessels at the end of the working life. Remaining working life is estimated on the date of acquisition of the vessels based on the Group's intentions to own the vessels until they reach 30 years of age. The residual value is based on an estimate of what the vessels can be sold for after its remaining working life and based on observed sales of 30-year-old vessels. The estimate for residual value is assessed annually and any changes are booked as change in estimate.

Ordinary maintenance is expensed as incurred, while expenses related to dockings are recognized in the balance sheet and depreciated linearly over the period until the next scheduled docking. The period between dockings for all vessels is set to 5 years based on the maintenance program and class requirements for the Vessels.

If any events or circumstances show an indication that the carrying amount of the vessels cannot be recovered, the vessel is analyzed for impairment. If the indications are confirmed and the carrying amount is higher than the recoverable amount, the vessel is written down to the recoverable amount. Each vessel is evaluated individually. Write down is reversed if the recoverable amount becomes greater than carrying value.

1.10 Right-of-use assets and leases

When entering a lease contract, the Group recognize a lease liability and a corresponding right of use assets for all leases, except the following exemptions:

  • Short-term leases (<12 months).
  • Assets with low and immaterial values.

For exemptions noted above, the Group recognizes the lease payments as expenses in profit or loss as incurred.

1.11 Government grants

Government grants are booked when there is reasonable assurance that the Group fulfills the terms necessary to receive the grants and that they will be received. The Group is eligible for the Norwegian net wage refund scheme and the refund is booked against the payroll expense it is meant to cover, see note 4 and 5.

1.12 Financial instruments

The Group's financial instruments at initial recognition are classified in accordance with IFRS 9. After initial recognition, loans and receivables and financial obligations are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. When calculating the effective interest, cash flows and all contractual matters regarding the financial instruments are taken into consideration. The calculation includes all fees between the parties of the contract as an integrated part of the effective interest as well as transaction expenses.

Accounts receivable and other short-term receivables, plus cash-equivalents are measured at its nominal value. A financial asset is impaired using the expected credit loss 3-stage model (ECL) or the practical expedient of lifetime ECL for accounts receivable in accordance with IFRS 9.

1.13 Stocks

Stocks consist mainly of bunkers and lubricating oil onboard the vessels. The stocks are valued at cost price. If the booked value is higher than the market value, the stocks are written off to market value.

1.14 Cash & cash equivalents

Cash includes cash in hand and bank deposits. Cash equivalents are short term liquid investments that immediately can be converted to cash by a known amount, and maximum maturity is 3 months. Funds that are originally locked for more than 3 months are not included in cash and cash equivalents.

1.15 Equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Distribution to owners of financial instruments that are classified as equity will be booked directly to equity.

Transaction expenses directly related to an equity transaction are booked directly to equity.

1.16 Provisions

A provision is booked when the Group has an obligation (legal or constructive) as a consequence of a past event, it is probable (more likely than not) that an economic settlement will happen as a consequence of this obligation and the size of the amount can be measured reliably. If the effect is material the accrual is calculated by discounting expected cash flows using a discount rate pretax, which reflects the market's pricing of the timed value of cash, and, if relevant, risks specifically associated with the obligation.

1.17 Events after the balance sheet date

New information and other events that provide evidence of conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period is included in the accounts. Events occurring after the reporting period, which do not impact the Group's financial position, but which have a significant impact on future periods, are disclosed in the notes to the accounts.

1.18 Changes in accounting principles and note information

Except for the changes noted below, the same accounting principles as last year have been used in this year.

1.20 New accounting standards with future effective date

Certain new accounting standards, amendments to accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 31 December 2023 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group. These standards, amendments or interpretations are not expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

The Company has adopted all other new standards and amendments that are applicable as of January 1, 2023, which had no material impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY & DISCRETIONARY ASSESSMENT Estimation uncertainty

When preparing the annual accounts, the Group's management has used estimates based on best judgment and assumptions that are considered realistic. Situations and market conditions may change, which can lead to changes in estimates, and affect the Group's assets, debt, equity and profit,

The Group's most material accounting estimate is the impairment and valuation of fixed assets. Estimates are made based on historical experience and factors leading to changes in market conditions, hereunder technical development, and changes in the legal and regulatory environment.

The estimates require the Company to make assumptions regarding the future performance of the vessels. Management must consider market outlooks and future charter rates, cost levels, vessel demand and utilization. Residual values, capital requirements and remaining useful lives are also considered. Assumptions are made based on historical trends and longtime experience in the industry. For future expectations the Group also closely follows data and analytics on offshore vessels, provided by ship brokers and independent research and analytic companies to the global energy industry. The Group receives a fleet valuation quarterly from two independent brokers.

NOTE 3 - SEGMENTS

Operating segments are determined and in line with the organization and reporting structure used by management. Operating segments are components of a business that are evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer (chief operating decision maker) for the purpose of assessing performance and allocating resources. The Group operates in the offshore service vessel business with similar vessels and has only one operating and reportable segment.

Both management personnel and crew were a part of the services acquired from management companies. In 2023 the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Golden Energy Offshore Management AS (GEOM), which transformed the Group from a pure asset owning Group to a fully integrated service operator with management and crewing in-house. GEOM was not a part of the group before the acquisition.

The CEO is employed by the management company Golden Energy Offshore Management AS as employment agent for the rest of the Group, Golden Energy Offshore Services AS and daughters. Management fees post-acquisition of GEOM are eliminated.

The CEO has an agreement for performance-related and productivity-related bonus pay, a notice period of 24 months, and for 12 months salary in case of termination of employment conducted by the company. This agreement also applies if parts of, or the entire company is sold.

PENSION

The Company is by law required to have a pension arrangement for the staff. The pension plans cover the requirements of the law. The Company offers a defined contribution plan for employees. This provides predictability for future pension related costs.

NOTE 8 - BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

On 3 June 2023 Golden Energy Offshore Services AS acquired 100% of the issued share capital of the management company Golden Energy Offshore Management AS. Per Ivar Fagervoll, shareholder and CEO in both companies, had an indirect ownership of 15% of the shares in GEOM. The Golden Energy Management group was under a restructuring process and the purchasing price was monitored by the court-appointed reconstructor in the process. The acquisition has improved the ability to manage and operate the Groups support vessels for the global oil and gas industry.

The goodwill is attributable to intangible assets that do not meet the recognition criteria set out in IFRS 3 such as company know-how, approvals, and workforce.

Since the acquired business has no external operations and/or revenues the acquired entity does not contribute directly with any revenues. The entity is part of the operational activities for the Group which is to own and operate the vessel fleet.

There were no acquisitions during the year ending 31 December 2022.

Goodwill originates from the acquisition of 100% of the shares in Golden Energy Offshore Management AS, see note 8.

For the purpose of annual impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the operating segments expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combinations in which the goodwill arises from and is compared to its recoverable value. Since the Group only has one operational segment which is to own and operate the fleet of vessels the goodwill has been allocated to this.

Key assumptions to the forecasted cash flows include:

  • · stable profit margins, based on past market experience. The Group's management believes that this is the best available input for forecasting this market. Cash flow projections reflect stable profit margins achieved immediately before the budget period. No expected efficiency improvements have been taken into account and prices and wages reflect publicly available forecasts of inflation for the industry.
  • · the forecasted cash flows have been made in USD. The estimated exchange rates (USD/NOK) as at the balance sheet date have been applied for presentation in NOK.
  • · No growth beyond inflation in the terminal growth rate

Discount rates applied

The present value of the expected cash flows of the operational segment is determined by applying a suitable discount rate. The discount rate was derived based on weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for comparable entities in the offshore/shipping industry, based on market data. The discount rates reflect appropriate adjustments relating to market risk and specific risk factors of the operational segment (incorporating adjustments for geographic location and currency risk).

Reasonably possible change in assumptions

After considering all key assumptions, management considers that a reasonably possible change in the following assumptions would cause the operational segment's carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount:

Discount rate

If the discount rate currently used of 7.6% (9.8% nominal) should have increased to 11,5%, the CGU's recoverable amount would be equal to its carrying amount. This analysis incorporated reasonable changes in other key inputs into the discount rate including foreign currency, market risk premium, and the cost of debt.

NOTE 10 - FIXED ASSETS

The Company applies IFRS 16 to determine the accounting treatment of the sale and leaseback transaction, which refers to IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" to determine whether the transaction is a sale or not. The transactions include repurchase options.

For transactions where a right to repurchase the assets is a part of the contract the Company continues to recognize the vessels in the sale and lease back transaction as tangible fixed assets and recognizes a financial liability for any consideration received from the customer. The Company accounts for the financial liability in accordance with IFRS 9.

Events during the period

The vessel Energy Scout was sold in January 2023. The vessels VOS Pace, VOS Paradise, VOS Partner, VOS Passion and VOS Sugar have been acquired during the period. The vessel VOS Sugar was subsequently sold.

The Vroon vessels acquired in 2023 have been through satisfactory inspection by the Company during the purchase process. The four PSVs are of the same PX 121 design as GEOS's existing vessels Energy Duchess and Energy Empress. Acquiring well known builds and designs are advantageous when making assumptions about useful-life and residual value. Based on historical trends and market outlooks going forward the Group has made the following estimates. Vessels are depreciated linearly to a residual value when the vessels reach 30 years. The residual value per vessel is NOK 15 million. Accrued and estimated docking expenses for the vessels are depreciated over 5 years until the next docking. Depreciations are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis.

The Group has assessed whether there is present any indication that any of the impairments recognized on the vessels in prior periods no longer exist or may have decreased. As the improvements observed during 2023 are significant, management has concluded that the development in the market conditions and its forecasts did support a reversal of the previous impairments.

When conducting this assessment both external and internal factors were considered, including market outlooks. The market has in general improved during 2023. Broker values obtained from independent shipbrokers also reflect a significant improvement in vessel values. Management has on this basis concluded to reverse impairments from prior periods with MNOK 46.1, and has a headroom by the end of the year

The Group leases office spaces and office equipment. Typically, lease periods of three years, where monthly payments are made in advance. No short-term or low value leases were in force as of 31.12.2023.

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue for the Group relates primarily to charter parties of the vessels and the Group acts as lessor in this connection. See note 1.5 Principles for revenue recognition for further information.

Future minimum operating lease revenues arising from contracts on vessels amount to NOK 230 million within 1 year.

NOTE 12 - FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial risk

The Group has general financial instruments such as accounts receivable, trade debt and similar debts related to the ordinary business of the Group. At 31.12.2023 the Group is not using derivatives or forward rate agreements to limit currency or interest risk. As a significant amount of both charter revenues, operating expenses and financial debt are in USD, the Group has a partially natural hedge which reduces currency risk.

Routines for risk management have been adopted by the Board of Directors and are conducted in cooperation with each department.

Below is a description of the most important financial risks:

1) Credit risk

The Group is mainly exposed to credit risk associated with accounts receivable. The main counterparties are major energy companies and the maximum exposure to credit risk is the same as accounts receivable (TNOK 59 612), see note 18. Accounts 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. The credit risk is considered to be limited. Other receivables (TNOK 9 910, excluding prepayments) are mainly receivables from government grants and reimbursed VAT, and therefore considered to have no risk. The Group has procedures to monitor and collect receivables. Continuous accruals for loss are made if deemed necessary and are decided on a corporate level. The Group has not guaranteed any third party debt, but has guaranteed debt within the group.

2) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is related to non-current interest-bearing loans and lease liabilities.

The senior secured bond loan has a fixed interest rate of 11% p.a.

The financing has a five-year horizon, with an interest rate of USD SOFR + 6.5%. There is an inherent interest risk for the variable part and the Group is affected by changes in the interest rate level.

The following table shows the sensitivity of the Company's profit or loss before tax due to a change in the interest rate of + / - 100 basis point for the whole year. All other variables remain unchanged.

+ / - 1% 2023 + / - 4 807

3) Foreign exchange risk

The Group has ordinary bank deposits in USD & EUR and accounts receivable per 31.12.2023. In addition to long term debt in USD.

The following table shows the sensitivity of the Company's profit or loss before tax due to an immediate change in USD and EUR of + / - 10% at the balance sheet date. All other variables remain unchanged.

Increase/decrease Effect on result
in EUR & USD: before tax (TNOK)
+ / - 10% 2022 + / - 30 203

4) Liquidity risk / Material uncertainty / Going concern

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be in a position to meet all its financial obligations as they fall due. The strategy for managing liquidity risk is to have sufficient liquid cash at any time in order to settle the financial obligations at due date, both under normal and extraordinary circumstances, without risking unacceptable losses or loss of reputation. The management's and the board's liquidity forecasts show that with planned operations and with existing drawing options, sufficient liquidity will be generated over the next 12 months to meet the Group's ongoing obligations.

NOTE 22 - WARRANTS

In July 2022, in order to obtain a bridge loan and a new credit facility, the Company issued warrants in 2022 to the provider of the facility, in a total of 61 773 762. The proceeds of the facility were split between the fair value of the loan and the fair value of the warrants using Black-Scholes calculation of the warrants as an alternative interest rate was not available at the time. The fair value of the warrants was calculated to TNOK 77 107.

NOTES

NOTE 1 - GENERAL

Golden Energy Offshore Services AS (the "Company") was incorporated 16.12.2013, and is the parent company of the Golden Energy Offshore Group. In 2023 the Group acquired 100% of the shares in Golden Energy Offshore Management AS (GEOM), which transformed the Group from a pure asset owning Group to a fully integrated owner with management and crewing in-house.

The head office is located in Aalesund and the Company's shares have been listed on Euronext Growth market on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 2018.

1.1 Basis for preparation of the annual report

The annual report is prepared in accordance with the IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and certain disclosure requirements in the Norwegian accounting legislation.

In accordance with the accounting act § 3-3a we confirm that the condition for continued operations is present and that the annual report has been prepared based on the going concern assumption.

1.2 Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency of the Company is Norwegian kroner (NOK). Transactions in foreign currencies are converted to the functional currency using the exchange rate at the transaction time. At the end of each reporting period the monetary items in foreign currency are converted using the closing rate, non-monetary items are measured at historical cost converted at the time of the transaction. Non-monetary items in foreign currency that are being measured at fair value are converted using the applicable exchange rates at the time when the fair values were determined.

1.3 Use of estimates and assessment of accounting principles when creating the accounts.

The Management has to some degree used estimates and assumptions that have influenced assets, debt, revenue, costs and information on potential obligations. Future events may result in a change of these estimates. The estimates and assumptions are continuously assessed and are based on best judgment and historical experience. Changes in accounting estimates are booked in the period they arise. If the changes affect future periods, the effects are distributed over present and future periods.

1.4 Taxes

Tax expense in the profit and loss account comprises both tax payable for the period and change in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated using 22% tax rate, based on the temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, and tax losses to be carried forward. Net deferred tax benefit is recorded in the balance sheet only to the extent that it is likely it can be utilized.

1.5 Financial instruments

The financial instruments are classified in accordance with IFRS 9. After initial recognition, loans, receivables and financial obligations are measured at amortized cost by effective interest method. When calculating the effective interest, cash flows and all contractual matters regarding the financial instruments are taken into consideration. The calculation includes all fees between the parties of the contract as an integrated part of the effective interest and transaction expenses. The amortization of the period is included as financial expense in profit or loss.

A loan or a receivable is tested for impairment using the expected credit loss model (ECL) or the practical expedient of lifetime ECL for accounts receivable. Further details regarding financial instruments are given in note 5 and 8.

1.6 Cash & cash equivalents

Cash includes cash in hand and bank deposits. Cash equivalents are short term liquid investments that immediately can be converted to cash by a known amount, and maximal maturity is 3 months. Funds that are originally locked for more than 3 months are not included in cash and cash equivalents.

1.7 Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are measured according to the cost method in the balance sheet. This means that they are carried at acquisition cost, unless an impairment loss has been recognised. Impairment losses are reversed when the basis for impairment is no longer present.

1.8 Debt & Equity

Financial instruments are classified as debt or equity in accordance with the underlying economic reality.

Interests, dividends, profit and loss related to a financial instrument classified as debt, is charged to profit or loss. Distribution to owners of financial instruments that are classified as equity will be booked directly to equity. Transaction expenses directly related to an equity transaction are booked directly to equity.

1.9 Provisions

A provision is booked when the Company has an obligation (legal or self-imposed) as a consequence of a previous event, it is probable (more likely than not) that an economic settlement will happen as a consequence of this obligation and the size of the amount can be measured reliably. If the effect is material the provision is calculated by discounting expected cash flows using a pre-tax discount rate, which reflects the market's pricing of the timed value of cash, and, if relevant, risks specifically associated with the obligation.

1.11 Changes in accounting principles, note information and new accounting standards with future effective date.

The Company has made no material changes in accounting principles and note information compared with previous years, and standards with changes that apply from 01.01.2023 has not had any material impact.

To the General Meeting of Golden Energy Offshore Services AS

Independent Auditor's Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Golden Energy Offshore Services AS, which comprise;

  • · the financial statements of the parent company Golden Energy Offshore Services AS (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2023, profit and loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including material accounting policy information, and
  • the consolidated financial statements of Golden Energy Offshore Services AS and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2023, profit and loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.

In our opinion

  • the financial statements comply with applicable statutory requirements,
  • · the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, and
  • · the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2023, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities 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.

Other Information

The Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the information in the Board of Directors' report. The other information comprises information in the annual report, but does not include the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the information in the Board of Directors' report.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Board of Directors' report. The purpose is to consider if there is material inconsistency between the Board of Directors' report and the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or whether the Board of Directors' report otherwise appears to be materially misstated. We are required to report if there is a material misstatement in the Board of Directors' report. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Based on our knowledge obtained in the audit, it is our opinion that the Board of Directors' report

  • · is consistent with the financial statements and
  • · contains the information required by applicable statutory requirements.

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS Accounting 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 from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group'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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.For further description of Auditor's Responsibilities for the Financial Statements reference is made to: https://revisorforeningen.no/revisjonsberetninger
