SAILING FLEET


The overall revenues year to date have increased significantly compared with the same period in 2022 (revenue for Q3-2022 include 4 vessels vs 3 vessels for Q3-2023), mainly reflecting a stronger underlying market and high utilization.
Net Financial Items in Q3-2023 were negative with TNOK 58 329, significantly affected by changes in the USD-NOK exchange rate, conversion from the senior loan to Sale and Leaseback facility, and reversal of amortized cost regarding the previous senior debt facility.
The Group's result before tax in Q3-2023 is deficit of TNOK 49 490. Book equity per 30.09.2023 is TNOK 116 415.
The operating result before depreciation and sale of asset for the first three quarters was TNOK 34 545, excluding potential insurance settlement related to the Energy Duchess.

As of Q3-2023, the Group owns four Platform Supply Vessels (PSV's) (the "Vessels") which are operated and commercially managed by Golden Energy Offshore Management AS in Ålesund, Norway.
The vessel values have increased significantly in the period and the Group's four vessels have now received average broker values as follows:
| Vessel | Average Broker 1 | Average Broker 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Swan | 189 380 | 206 090 |
| Energy Empress | 306 350 | 306 350 |
| Energy Duchess | 306 350 | 306 350 |
| Energy Paradise | 261 790 | 272 930 |
| NOK | 1 063 870 | 1 091 720 |
| Avg FMV 2 brokers | 1 077 795 |
-The Group has an unpaid claim against the insurers of the opponent vessel after an allision between this vessel and the Group's vessel Energy Duchess, (Energy Duchess was moored alongside in port of Aberdeen September 2022 when hit). The insurers have issued a letter of undertaking (LOU) in the amount of USD 3,663,000, representing the Group's full claim. The claim is disputed and is handled by the Group's insurers and its English lawyers. The claim is not included in the unaudited accounts.

The Group has a senior secured bond loan of NOK 70 million over the vessel Energy Swan with final maturity June 2024.
The North Sea spot market had a slow start to the year, however activity levels increased as we approached the summer season when the majority of projects and campaigns commence. The spot market on the Norwegian side of the North Sea has seen a significant shortage in available vessels, leading to a strong spot market throughout Q3-2023.
The seasonal volatility in the spot market has little impact on our forward-looking view on this segment. The fundamental activity drivers for this segment are robust and we foresee a healthy market going forward on the background of expected high demand from increased activity levels and limited supply from a historically low fleet to order book ratio.
The Group therefore expects that the vessels will continue attracting higher charter revenue in its operations. The
Group also see improved values and expects that the market value of the Group's vessels will continue to improve correspondingly.
The Group is continuing its focus on environmentally friendly operations through energy efficiency programs and other measures. These are important factors in the competitive market.
The successful refinancing and private placement together with the improved market justifies the Board's conclusion that the conditions for a going concern are present, and the financial statements have been prepared based on this assumption.
Pr. 30.09.2023 the company had 756 shareholders and the company's share capital was NOK 115 547 523 divided by 115 547 523 shares, each with a nominal value of NOK 1.

The Vessels are depreciated linearly to a residual value when the Vessels reach 30 years. The residual value is TNOK 15 000 for each of Energy Swan, Energy Duchess, Energy Empress and Energy Paradise. Costs for acquiring Energy Duchess and Energy Empress are already included in the acquisition cost for both vessels. Accrued and estimated docking expenses for the Vessels are depreciated over 5 years until the next docking.
Previously there has been a write down on the Vessels based on the impairment test. Considering the new market outlook, and due to observed indicators, such as improved market conditions and increase in market interest rates, the Vessels' book values have been tested for impairment, and the company did a reversal of previous impairments on Q3-2022 of TNOK 111 000, and additional reversal of TNOK 46 100 in Q2 2023.
The Group monitors the presence of impairment indicators during the periodical financial reporting, and thus may update its assessments of impairments to reflect further changes in the underlying market assumptions. The assessment of ship values has been done by two independent shipbrokers.
The vessel Energy Scout was sold in Q1 2023, and the loss from the sale is booked as loss from sale of vessel.
At the end of the quarter, a sales and leaseback agreement has been made for the three vessels Energy Duchess, Energy Empress and Energy Paradise.
The other vessels in the transaction with Vroon have not been completed at the end of the quarter and are hence not reflected in this quarter's result. Energy Passion was acquired in October 2023, and the remaining vessels are expected to be acquired in Q4 2023/Q1 2024.
The senior secured bond loan has a term of 2 years and 6 months and a fixed interest rate of 11.0% p.a. The vessel Energy Swan is established as a security for the senior secured bond loan. There are no specific covenants related to the bond terms.
The long-term facility has been partly settled as a part of the Sale and Lease Back (SLB) transaction at the end of Q3 2023, and the remaining balance is transferred to short-term debt, that was settled October 2023.
A bridge loan facility, due in Q4 2023, with an interest rate of 12.0% has been obtained in Q3. This loan was settled in the private placement post Q3.
As a part of the SLB transaction, financing has been issued by Fleetscape. This financing has a five-year horizon, with an interest rate of SOFR + 6.50%. The lease contracts include put and call options over the vessels. Because of the options, the vessels are not derecognised, and no gains or losses is recognised as part of the transactions. The proceeds received from the transaction is recognised as a financial liability. Fleetscape was also facilitator of the previously settled long term facility and the bridge loan ("Prior Fleetscape Facility"). Fleetscape/Oaktree is related to the company, through its 49.9% ownership.

* The difference between nominal and recognized values originates from the cash flow calculation in regards to fees for the long-term interest-bearing loan.
In July 2022, the Group entered into a new credit facility (Fleetscape senior loan) of MUSD 45. The lenders under the credit facility were awarded 57 773 762 warrants in the company, and the warrants were considered a part of the financing. The fair value (estimated to TNOK 72 681) of the issued warrants was recognized as other paid in capital and included as transaction cost in the effective interest rate for the financing, together with other transaction costs (reducing the carrying value of the loan).
As part of the new SLB financing of the purchase of the five new vessels, the Fleetscape senior loan has been settled, partly in 3Q 2023 with the remaining balance paid in October 2023. The remaining balance of unamortized transaction cost has been amortized in full in 3Q 2023, as a loss on settlement for the portion settled in 3Q, and a remeasurement loss for remaining contractual cash flow for the portion settled in October. This represents a non-cash effect, and the final settlement of the facility in 4Q will not give rise to any additional gains or losses, except for currency effects.
