Note 3 - Significant accounting policies

Revenue recognition

Revenues are recognised in accordance with IFRS 15 in the accounting period in which services are rendered.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses are accounted for on an accrual basis. Expenses are charged to the income statement, except for those incurred in the acquisition of an investment which are capitalised as part of the cost of the investment. Expenses arising on the disposal of investments are deducted from the disposal proceeds.

Financial income and expenses

Interest income and expense is recognised as accrued and is presented under the financial income or expense in the income statement.

Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded in the functional currency rate at the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from translations into functional currency are recorded in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost in foreign currency are translated into the functional currency using the historical exchange rate. Non-monetary assets and liabilities recognised at fair value are translated using the exchange rate on the date of the determination of the fair value.

For subsidiaries with functional currencies other than USD, financial position items are translated at the rate of exchange at the balance sheet date, and income statements are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income as foreign currency differences.

Vessels and other tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost, less subsequent depreciation and impairment.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the assets, taking residual values into consideration, and adjusted for impairment charges, if any.

Impairment

Tangible assets are assessed for impairment indicators each reporting period. If impairment indicators are identified, the recoverable amount is estimated, and if the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount an impairment loss is recognised, i.e. the asset is written down to its recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the net realisable value and its value in use. The net realisable value is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm's length transaction less the costs of sale and the value in use is the present value of estimated future cash flows expected from the continued use of an asset. An impairment loss recognised in prior periods for an asset is reversed if, and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

Leases

Group as lessee (right-of-use assets)

The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract. The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability with respect to all lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for short-term leases with a lease term of 12 months or less) and leases of low value assets. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an operating expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease unless another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased assets are consumed.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease.

The right-of-use assets comprise the initial measurement of the corresponding lease liability, lease payments made at or before the commencement day, less any lease incentives received and any initial direct costs. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the shorter period of lease term and useful life of the underlying asset. If a lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset or the right-of-use asset reflects that the group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. The depreciation starts at the commencement date of the lease.

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are measured at transaction price upon initial recognition and subsequently measured at amortized cost less expected credit losses.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank deposits and other highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Share issuance

Share issuance costs related to a share issuance transaction are recognised directly in equity. If share issuance costs, for tax purposes, can be deducted from other taxable income in the same period as they are incurred, the costs are recognised net after tax.

Dividends

Dividends are recognised as a liability in the Group's financial statements from the dividend is approved by the General Meeting.

Financial liabilities

All loans and borrowings are initially measured at fair value less directly attributable transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortized cost, using the effective interest method. The calculation takes into account any premium or discount on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, when it is more likely than not that an outflow or resources representing economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the abligation.

Fair value measurement

Derivative financial instruments are measured at fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets is determined by reference to quoted market prices or dealer price quotations, without any deduction for transaction costs. The fair value of financial instruments not traded in active markets is determined using appropriate evaluation techniques.

Taxes

The Company is subject to ordinary Norwegian taxation. Tax expense comprises tax payable and deferred tax expense. Tax payable is measured at the amount expected to be paid to authorities while deferred tax assets/liabilities are calculated based on temporary differences at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they can be utilized in the future. Deferred tax liabilities/deferred tax assets within the same tax system that can be offset are recorded on a net basis.

3E8379D303564102A138207F42287F8F

Income tax relating to items recognised directly in equity is included directly in equity and not in the statement of income.

Related parties

Parties are related if one party has the ability, directly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the party in making financial and operating decisions. Parties are also related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence. Related party transactions are recorded to estimated fair value.

Employee benefits

The Group is required to provide a pension plan towards its employees, and the Group has implemented a defined contribution plan. The plan complies with the requirements in the Mandatory Occupational Pension act in Norway ("Lov om obligatorisk tjenestepension"). A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate legal entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments are available.

Classification in the statement of financial position

Current assets and short-term liabilities include items due less than one year from the balance sheet date, as well as items due more than one year from the balance sheet date, that are related to the operating cycle.

Liabilities with maturity less than one year from the balance sheet date are classified as current. All other debt is classified as long-term debt due for repayment within one year from the balance sheet date is classified as current.

Statement of cash flows

Subsequent events

New information on the Group's financial position at the balance sheet date is taken into account in the financial statements. Subsequent events that do not affect the Group's position at the balance sheet date, but which will affect the Group's position in the future, are disclosed if significant.

Note 4 - Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of consolidated financial statements for the Group and application of the accounting policies, which are described in Note 3, requires judgements, estimates and assumptions to be made about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered to be relevant. Actual outcomes may differ from these estimates and assumptions and could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis.

Judgements, assumptions and estimation uncertainties

Management is of the opinion that any instances of application of judgement, assumptions and estimates are not expected to have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

  • The accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the group as at 31 December 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting 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 Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group as required by laws and regulations and 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) is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the Board of Directors' report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information.

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 consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, 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.

Opinion on the Board of Director's report

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

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

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors and the Managing Director for the Financial Statements

Board of Directors and the Managing Director (management) are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view 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 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 Company or 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
