Report on review of condensed consolidated interim financial information to the shareholders of Gulf Navigation Holding PJSC
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim balance sheet of Gulf Navigation Holding PJSC ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as 'the Group') as of 31 March 2014 and the related condensed consolidated interim income statement and condensed consolidated interim statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three month period then ended. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with International Accounting Standard ("IAS") 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
Scope of review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, 'Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity'. A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34: 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Note 2 to the condensed consolidated interim financial information, which states that as of 31 March 2014, the Group had accumulated losses of AED 1,404.8 million and a net current liability position of AED 695.4 million. These conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

$\overline{2}$ Basis of preparation and accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three month period ended 31 March 2014 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34: "Interim Financial Reporting". This condensed consolidated interim financial information does not include all the information required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group at and for the year ended 31 December 2013, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS").
The condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, except for derivative financial instruments which are stated at fair value.
Going concern
The Group's condensed consolidated interim financial information has been prepared on a going concern basis, however, given the conditions and events described below there exists a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
As of 31 March 2014, the Group had accumulated losses of AED 1,404,810 thousand which represents more than one half of the share capital. In accordance with the UAE Federal Law No 8. of 1984 (as amended), an extraordinary general meeting ("EGM") of the shareholders was convened on 5 January 2014 and a resolution was obtained from the shareholders to enable the Group to continue as a going concern. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is reliant upon continued availability of external debt financing and/or additional equity and/or the Group's ability to reverse or mitigate the impact of adverse arbitration awards through legal defense and/or negotiations. At 31 March 2014, the Group continued to remains in breach of the terms of the loan agreements with its lenders. These breaches gave the lenders the right to call an event of default and by further notice, declare that all the loans are payable on demand. Accordingly, the Group's bank borrowings are classified as current liabilities as at 31 March 2014, which resulted in a net current liability position at of AED 695,391 thousand as of that date. During the year ended 31 December 2013, two of the Group's vessels, Gulf Sheba and Gulf Eyadah, were arrested at the instructions of the lenders at the Port of Rotterdam and at the Port of Bahamas respectively. Notwithstanding such arrest, management was in continued discussions with its lenders to proceed for a consensual sale of both vessels and restructure the payment of the shortfall of loans relating to these vessels.
In February 2014, the Group completed the sale of the aforesaid two vessels for a total consideration of AED 368,200 thousand including the bunker inventory on the vessels. After applying the full proceeds from the aforesaid sale against the loan balances there is a shortfall of AED 36,471 thousand (Note 10). The Group's management are now in discussions with another group of lenders to restructure the repayment of the shortfall. If the Group is unable to agree the required restructuring of the remaining loan related to the vessels and in the absence of other financing alternatives, the Group would be dependent on market based asset values to repay its borrowings. As a result, there exists a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern such that the Group may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. Accordingly, assets may be realised at significantly less than book value and additional liabilities may arise.

Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three month period ended 31 March 2014 (continued)
$\overline{2}$ Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)
Going concern (continued)
As of the date of authorisation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information, the discussions with the lenders are in progress and the Group is confident that a mutually acceptable arrangement will be reached. Management are also considering various options for raising finance to fund the Group's working capital and future investment requirements.
The Directors, after reviewing the Group's cash flow forecasts and strategic plans for a period of not less than 12 months, from the date of the signing of this condensed consolidated interim financial information and after reviewing the status of the Group's legal defense and/or plans for negotiating a settlement in respect of the adverse arbitration awards, have a reasonable expectation that the Group will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its condensed consolidated interim financial information.
New standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations $a)$
The Group has adopted certain new standards and amendments which have been issued and are effective from period beginning 1 January 2014:
- IAS 32 (amendment), 'Financial instruments: Presentation' (effective from 1 January $2014$ ;
- IAS 36 (amendment), 'Impairment of assets' (effective from 1 January 2014); and
- IAS 39 (amendment), 'Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement' (effective from 1 January 2014).
There are no other IFRSs, amendments or IFRIC interpretations that are effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial information.
$b)$ New standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not effective for the financial year beginning 1 January 2014 and not early adopted by the Group
Certain new amendments to existing standards have been published and are mandatory for the Group's accounting period beginning after 1 January 2014 or later period but have not early adopted by the Group:
IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments' (effective date deferred by IASB).
There are no other IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.
The Group is assessing the impact of the above standards, amendments and interpretations to published standards on the Group's condensed consolidated interim financial information.

$\overline{2}$ Basis of preparation and accounting policies (continued)
Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the interim financial information of each of the Group's subsidiaries and joint ventures (together, "entities") are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entities operate ("the functional currency"). Since most of the transactions of the entities are denominated in US Dollar ("USD") or currencies pegged to the USD, the functional currency of the entities is USD. However, the condensed consolidated interim financial information of the Group is presented in United Arab Emirates Dirhams ("AED"), which is the presentation currency of the Group. Amounts in US Dollars have been translated into United Arab Emirates Dirhams at the rate of USD $1 = AED$ 3.66 as there is a constant peg between USD and AED.
Basis of consolidation
The condensed consolidated interim financial information at and for the three month period ended 31 March 2014, comprises results of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as "the Group"). The condensed interim financial information of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company, using consistent accounting policies. All inter-company transactions, profits and balances are eliminated on consolidation.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group and cease to be consolidated from the date on which control is transferred out of the Group.
Significant accounting policies
The Group has consistently applied the accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the last published annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.
Estimates and judgements
The preparation of interim financial information requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial information, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.
Financial risk management
The Group's financial risk management objectives and policies are consistent with that disclosed in the consolidated financial statements at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three month period ended 31 March 2014 (continued)
$\overline{\mathbf{3}}$ Critical accounting estimates and judgements
Impairment of vessels
Management assesses the impairment of vessels whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. Factors that are considered important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:
- Significant decline in an asset's market value beyond that would be expected from the passage of time or normal use;
- Significant changes in the use of its assets or the strategy of the operation to which the asset belongs:
- Significant changes in the technology and regulatory environments; and
- Evidence from internal reporting that indicates that the economic performance of an asset is, or will be, worse than expected.
If such an indication exists, an impairment test is completed by comparing the carrying values of the cash generating unit with their recoverable amounts. The recoverable amount of the asset takes into consideration its value-in-use.
Estimated impairment of goodwill
Management reviews the business performance based on the type of business. Management has identified the Vessel owning and chartering division, Commercial division and Agency division as the main types of business. Goodwill is monitored by the management at the operating segment level. Goodwill has been allocated to the vessel owning and charter segment.
The Group tests annually and whenever there is an indication that the goodwill has suffered any impairment, in accordance with the accounting policy. The recoverable amounts of cashgenerating units (CGU) have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates (Note 6).
If the budgeted gross margin used in the value in use calculation of the vessel chartering CGU (excluding chemical tankers which are under long term time charter) had been 5% lower than management's estimates at 31 March 2014, the Group would have recognised an impairment charge against goodwill of AED 47,626 thousand.
If the estimated cost of capital used in determining the pre-tax discount rate for the vessel chartering CGU had been 0.5% higher than management's estimates, the Group would have recognised an impairment charge against goodwill of AED 70,057 thousand.
Notes to the condensed consolidated interim financial information for the three month period ended 31 March 2014 (continued)
$\overline{\mathbf{4}}$ Operating segments
Business segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Group's Executive Committee who makes strategic decisions. The Executive Committee reviews the Group's internal reporting in order to assess performance and allocate resources. Management has determined the operating segments based on these reports.
The Group comprises the following main business segments:
- Vessel owning & chartering: Chartering of vessels to customers;
- Commercial: Trading of goods such as supplies, chemicals and gases required for ships;
- Agency: Providing agency services to ships calling at ports; and
- Other: Includes management of all divisions and administrative activities.
Vessel owning and chartering, commercial and agency meet criteria required by IFRS 8, "Operating Segments" and reported as separate operating segments. The other business segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds required by IFRS 8, and the results of its operations are included in the 'other' column.
Effective 1 October 2013, the Group re-allocated the activities and results of its crew boat operations from its agency segment to its vessel owning and chartering segment. These crew boats are now reviewed by the Board of Directors and chief operating decision-maker as part of the vessel owning and chartering segment notwithstanding that operational management is delegated to the agency division. In line with this change, the prior period segment information has been restated accordingly.

Business segments (continued)
For the three month period ended 31 March 2014, operating revenue and net profit attributable to crew boat operations amounted to AED 2,877 thousand and AED 1,512 thousand respectively. As of 31 March 2014, total reportable assets and liabilities attributable to crew boat operations amounted to AED 6,877 thousand (31 December 2013: AED 7,060 thousand) and AED Nil (31 December 2013: AED Nil) respectively.
Geographical segments
The Group's Executive Committee does not consider the geographical distribution of the Group's operations to be relevant for their internal management analysis and therefore no geographical segment information has been disclosed.
All operating segments' results are reviewed regularly by the Group's Executive Committee to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial information is available.

$5\overline{)}$ Vessels and equipment
thousand (31) Vessels with a book value of AED 678,295 December 2013: AED 685,772 thousand) are mortgaged as security for borrowings (Note 10).
During the year ended 31 December 2013, the Group's two vessels, which were re-classified as held for sale, were arrested at the Port of Rotterdam and at the Port of Bahamas. The sale of these vessels was approved by the shareholders at the EGM on 5 January 2014 and further approved by the competent government authority. The Group completed the sale of the aforesaid vessels in February 2014 for a total consideration of AED 368,200 thousand including the bunker inventory on the vessels, accordingly an impairment charge of AED 262,661 thousand was recognised as part of the results for the year ended 31 December 2013.
The Group's management had previously contracted with a shipyard ("the Contractor") for the construction of two new vessels. The carrying amount of advances recorded as part of capital work-in-progress as of 31 December 2013 was AED 106,506 thousand. Discussions were continuing with the Contractor in relation to new contractual terms. However, alongside these discussions, the Contractor issued Notices of Termination for these two contracts and filed a claim to retain the first instalment and/or damages for any loss suffered. The Group responded with its own legal action, the matter then went into arbitration. Based on the award made by the arbitrator in March 2014, the Group made a provision for impairment of the entire amount of the capital work-in-progress amounting to AED 108,045 thousand which includes the aforesaid advance of AED 106,506 thousand, as part of the results for the year ended 31 December 2013. The company has subsequent to the three month period ended 31 March 2014, filed an appeal against the arbitration award within the stipulated period.
6 Goodwill
Management reviews the business performance based on type of business. Management has identified the Vessel owning and chartering division, Commercial division and Agency division as main type of business. Goodwill is monitored by the management at the operating segment level. Goodwill has been allocated to the vessel owning and charter segment.
The recoverable amount of all CGUs has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on estimated charter rates using currently available market information and historical trends for vessels which are not on long term time charter. However, with respect to vessels which are on time charter, for more than five years, a period till the end of their charter party agreement has been used for the value-in-use calculations. Cash flows beyond the signed charter party agreement are extrapolated using the estimated growth rate. The growth rate does not exceed the long-term average growth rate for the business in which the CGU operates.
