CEO'S LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dear Shareholders,

2014 ended as a challenging year. It started with a lot of optimism and ended with a lot of uncertainty regarding the future due to the steep drop in oil prices. We have consequently seen many projects being delayed or postponed, as well as increased pressure from the oil companies, our clients, to the entire oil service industry to reduce prices and rates. This pressure has positive effects as well. It forces the industry to become more cost effective, less traditional and opens up for innovative solutions, like the Sevan concept, and new collaborations.

We continue to believe that the inherent advantages of our technology, such as low construction costs, low operational cost and high uptime due to excellent motion characteristics should provide us with a significant competitive advantage.

Our overall vision for the company remains unchanged. We want to be the preferred provider of floating solutions based on our proprietary technology. We shall do so by providing safe, cost effective and high quality solutions to our customers.

In order to succeed we realize that we need to increasingly work with strong partners across the value chain, including engineering partners, project execution partners, construction yards and suppliers.

We believe that in order to realize the vast potential of our technology, and to become a true global solution provider in the new low oil price market, we may need to team up with a strategic partner that will complement Sevan in terms of size and market reach. To this effect the Board has decided to undertake a strategic review during 2015 in order to explore which strategic alternatives exist.

Our core market segments of FPSO, FSO and FLNG are expected to yield stable growth over time, despite the near term challenges caused by the fundamentals of the oil market.

Spread moored floating production solutions continues to be our core market segment and where the Sevan technology has a particular competitive advantage compared to solutions requiring turret and swivel features. This area includes the FPSO, FSO and FLNG markets.

Sevan is well established within the FPSO market with three units in operation and two units currently under construction. There has been a steady award of 12-15 FPSOs over the last years and the expectation is that this will continue as soon as the oil price stabilizes. We see a great opportunity for our technology in areas where steel catenary risers will be of advantage and also the possible use of dry threes.

We see a number of opportunities in the FSO lease market in cooperation with Teekay. This market is smaller than the FPSO market and represents an interesting niche segment; particularly where a bridge linked connection to the production platform can be used.

FLNG is a key initiative for Sevan Marine and the FLNG market is likely to be favorable in the medium to long term. We believe that the advantages of the cylindrical design for FLNG, such as no turret and improved motion characteristics will make the design very competitive versus other hull solutions. This, in combination with the acquisition of the proprietary HiLoad technology for offshore loading of LNG, should improve safety, uptime and increase flexibility as well as overall project economics.

Mobile offshore units, is another area where the Sevan technology has proven cost effective while providing the client with additional features such as high deck load and storage capacity. This market segment includes the Drilling and Accommodation markets. The drilling market is expected to remain very challenging for quite some time. The Sevan drilling design is well proven with three units in operation and a fourth is completed and ready for operation. Our strategy for this market will be to continue the co-operation with Sevan Drilling / Seadrill as well as to respond to requests for technology licenses from other drilling contractors on an opportunistic basis. In the longer term, we believe the cost effective Sevan solution combined with its unique suitability for drilling under arctic conditions will provide for new business opportunities.

Sevan's efforts in the offshore accommodation market are through Logitel Offshore, which is now part of the Teekay Group. The first unit is currently in transit to its first contract with Petrobras in Brasil, whilst two more units are under construction at the Cosco Nantong yard in China. The success and future revenue in this market segment will depend on Logitel's ability to secure new contracts and Sevan's ability to negotiate commercially sound agreements with Logitel.

Topsides process systems, is the market segment where KANFA is developing their growth strategy for topside equipment packages and modules. The strategic rationale behind selling 49 percent of the KANFA Group to Technip was to increase KANFA's impact in the home market, the North Sea, as well as to gain access to a larger international market within the topside and process industry. This has so far reflected itself positively in the Letter of Award for delivery of four process modules for the FPSO Yinson Production for the ENI OTCP field in Ghana. I'm confident that this business model will prove successful going forward.

On a final note I want to emphasize that it is our primary focus to create value for our shareholders by delivering products and solutions to the offshore industry, utilizing our core competencies within the areas of design, engineering and project execution.

In times of large uncertainty like today, I pleased with the fact that the company has no long term interest bearing debt and a healthy balance sheet. This provides us with the necessary staying power and flexibility to pursue business opportunities in the best interest of the company and you as its shareholders.

Thank you for your continued support!

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT 2014

SEVAN MARINE

Sevan Marine ASA ("Sevan Marine" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries (together with the Company, "Sevan" or the "Group") is a technology, project development and engineering company. Sevan Marine has developed a cylinder shaped floater suitable for the offshore environment. Sevan is delivering products and solutions to the E&P industry, utilizing its core competencies within the areas of design, engineering and project execution. The basis for the products and solutions provided is the Sevan technology.

Sevan Marine is a Norwegian public limited liability company, with head offices in Arendal and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (ticker SEVAN). The Group has no interest-bearing debt and focuses on securing new projects under a technology license model within the FPSO, FSO and FLNG market, as well as within other offshore markets.

The Company may grant licenses and provide engineering and project management services to owners/operators of units built on the basis of the Sevan design, such as the Sevan 1000 Goliat FPSO and the Sevan 400 Western Isles FPSO, as well as tender for lease FPSO and FSO projects together with its 43.5% shareholder Teekay. Sevan´s strategic relationship with Teekay gives scale and business opportunities within existing markets and positions the Sevan technology for new areas and applications.

Logitel Offshore has currently two floating accommodation units ("FAUs") with Sevan design under construction. A further FAU, Arendal Spirit, was delivered from the yard in February 2015. The license agreement with Logitel is on an exclusive basis. During 2014 Logitel Offshore was purchased by Teekay.

A license arrangement is also in place with Sevan Drilling (an entity controlled by Seadrill) and Seadrill for the use of the Sevan technology for ultra-deepwater drilling purposes. The license agreement with Sevan Drilling is on a non-exclusive basis for general applications and on an exclusive basis for two specific, jointly developed designs.

Sevan Marine´s business segment Topside and Process Technology has developed its business over the past years and contributes with a substantial portion of the Group's total revenue. In 2014, Sevan entered into a strategic partnership with Technip, with an objective to develop its business in the North Sea and provide access to other oil and gas markets. Sevan Marine agreed to sell 49 percent of KANFA AS to Technip Norge AS ("Technip"). Technip has the option to take over the remaining 51 percent of KANFA AS in 2017.

MAIN EVENTS AND DEVELOPMENTS 2014

High activity in the FPSO/FSO market segment during the year

During the year, Sevan Marine provided engineering and site support services for the Goliat, Dana Western Isles and Logitel projects. In addition, Sevan Marine worked on several studies and tenders for upcoming FPSO/FSO prospects, like the potential FPSOs for the Bream and Penguin fields and the potential FSOs for the Bentley and Culzean fields, the later in partnership with Teekay. These prospects have for the most part all been postponed or delayed in 2015 due to the rapid decline in the oil price and the consequent market uncertainty and reduction in investment levels.

In December 2014, Sevan Marine received the final fixed license fee amount on the Dana Western Isles project. The total fixed license fee received was USD 24 million which was paid monthly from December 2012 to December 2014. Sevan Marine remains entitled to a variable license fee element tied to actual production of the unit. The unit is currently being completed at the Cosco yard.

New Logitel agreements reduce risk and strengthen floating accommodation initiative

In July 2014, Sevan finalized an agreement with Teekay that has opened a new line of business within the accommodation market as well as reduced Sevan's risk exposure relative to Logitel Offshore. In accordance with the agreement, Teekay exercised the first out of six accommodation unit options in August, thus expanding the building programme to three units. The first unit, Arendal Spirit, was successfully delivered from the yard in February, 2015 and is contracted to Petrobras.

Strategic partnership with Technip strengthens KANFA

In April 2014, Sevan sold 49 per cent of KANFA AS to Technip Norge AS with an objective to develop its business in the North Sea and provide access to a larger market within the topside and process industry. This has so far reflected itself positively in the Letter of Award for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contract for four process modules for the FPSO Yinson Production as announced on February 16, 2015.

Sevan's FLNG solution attracts attention

FLNG is a key initiative for Sevan Marine. Sevan Marine acquired during 2014 the technology rights of TORP LNG AS and its affiliates. This acquisition gives Sevan Marine ownership of the proprietary HiLoad technology for offshore loading of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). During the year, ABS, leading provider of classification services to the global offshore industry, also granted approval in principle (AIP) for the Sevan cylindrical floating LNG (FLNG) production unit concept for offshore production, storage and transfer of LNG, LPG and condensate. Sevan Marine believes that the advantages of the cylindrical design for FLNG, such as no turret and improved motion characteristics will make the design very competitive versus

shipshape solutions. Combined with the HiLoad technology for offloading, the Sevan Marine FLNG solution should also improve safety, uptime and increase flexibility.

Weak 2014 for Topside and Process Technology

The Topside and Process segment was negatively impacted by KANFA AS where project margins were reduced, as well as loss provisions taken on certain projects. KANFA Aragon was negatively impacted by the start-up costs for KANFA Aragon's new subsidiary in Houston, Texas.

Substantial non-cash charges

A goodwill impairment charge of USD 5.9 million was taken with respect to Sevan Marine's 51% holding in KANFA AS. This is a reflection of the weak results in 2014.

Given the negative market outlook, the deferred tax asset in Sevan Marine of USD 8.0 million has also been written down fully in 2014. Sevan Marine has approximately NOK 3.5 billion in total tax losses which are not reflected on the balance sheet. Sevan Marine believes that these losses could generate substantial value in the future.

Sevan Marine also had a USD 3.1 million foreign exchange loss related to its NOK currency holdings in 2014. Sevan Marine has USD as its functional currency yet held NOK 139 million in cash as Sevan Marine has the majority of its costs in NOK. The strong depreciation in the NOK over the period has generated a book loss when converting the NOK holdings to USD.

Operation and financial position

Operating revenue of USD 102.4 million was in line with 2013. EBITDAFX of USD 6.9 million was USD 1.0 million lower than 2013.

Cash of USD 27.3 million at year end was USD 13.9 million lower than 2013.

Dividend policy

The Board has communicated a strategic target of paying an annual dividend.

The ability to pay a dividend is highly dependent upon, amongst other factors, the outcome of several studies and tenders for upcoming FPSO/FSO prospects, most of which have been postponed or delayed in 2015. Sevan Marine has therefore decided to suspend the regular dividend for 2014. The board will, however, consider recommending an extraordinary dividend during the second half of 2015 provided that the financial situation allows for it.

MAIN FIGURES 2014

(Previous year figures in brackets)

Operating revenue for 2014 was USD 102.4 million (USD 102.6 million). EBITDA was positive with USD 5.5 million (positive with USD 7.7 million), and operating loss was USD 0.9 million (profit of USD 7.1 million). Net loss was USD 11.0 million (profit of USD 31.7 million).

The net loss of USD 11.0 million is a result of a partial write-down of Goodwill related to Sevan Marine's 51 percent holding in KANFA AS (USD 5.9 million) as well as the de-recognition of capitalized deferred tax assets of USD 8.0 million. In addition, an unrealized foreign exchange loss of USD 3.1 million related to NOK-nominated cash positions adversely affected the net result. The net profit of USD 31.7 million in 2013 was largely the result of a USD 21.8 million gain on the sale of the FPSO Voyageur Spirit related to the reversal of a financial provision.

At December 31, 2014, total consolidated assets amounted to USD 144.7 million (2013: USD 164.9 million), of which USD 27.3.million (2013: USD 41.2 million) was cash and cash equivalents.

At year end, the equity ratio was 70.9% (2013: 75%).

The Group has prepared the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

CAPITAL AND FINANCING

As of year-end 2014, cash and cash equivalents amounted to USD 27.3 million (USD 41.2 million). The decrease in cash and cash equivalents of USD 13.9 million is largely attributable to the negative performance of the topside and process segment during the year combined with the net impact of disposals less dividend paid.

A detailed cash flow statement is included in the financial statements.

As announced on December 12, 2014, Sevan received a notice from Skatt Sør (Norwegian tax authorities) that the tax assessment for 2012 may be adjusted.

If a decision were to be rendered by Skatt Sør along the lines indicated in the notice, Sevan would, pending final resolution of the matter, have to pay the relevant tax amount provisionally estimated by Sevan to be in the range of NOK 30 - 40 million. Sevan is optimistic, however, that further factual clarifications will result in a conclusion by Skatt Sør that no adjustment is required.

FINANCIAL RISK

The Group is exposed to market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the uncertainty of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

The Group's major customers are typically oil companies with a strong financial basis, but – as with suppliers and customers in general – there is a risk that unforeseen financial difficulties on the counterparty' side may arise which could have material adverse effects on the financial condition, the cash flows and/or the prospects of the Group.

Reference is made to note 3 in the 2014 Annual Report for further information, as well as to comments made under Going Concern below.

HSE

Developing sound health, safety and environment (HSE) principles is a critical success factor for the Company. The employees are involved in the planning and building of FPSOs, where health and security aspects are given high attention in planning, training and operations of projects. The Group aims at designing units with focus on energy efficient operations and low emissions with best available technology (BAT) evaluations, continually seeking ways to reduce the environmental impacts while maintaining a robust and flexible design, fulfilling the customers' needs and expectations.

Sick leave was 2.0% (2013: 4.1%) for the Company for the year. No serious work incidents or accidents resulting in personal injuries or damages to materials or equipment occurred in 2014.

There has been no Lost Time Incidents (LTI) during 2014.

The board would like to thank the management and the employees for their dedication and efforts related to HSE during the year.

The Company is certified according to ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System and ISO 14001 Environment Management System with the following Scope: 'Technology and Concept development, Sales and Project Execution and delivery of offshore floating units'.

The work environment is good and is measured annually through employee satisfaction surveys. The Board and the management continue to focus on equal opportunities for men and women. 32 percent of the employees in the Company are women. Four of seven Board members at year end were women. The Company strives to ensure that there is no discrimination due to gender, ethnicity, national origin, descent, race, religion or functional disability. Currently, the Company has not implemented any specific measures in order to meet the objective of the Discrimination Act and of the Anti-discrimination and Accessibility Act. The need for specific measures in this respect is continuously considered by the Board and the management.

The Company has not implemented formal guidelines, procedures, standards or routines regarding human rights, environment and corruption in its business strategies and its operation. The Company intends to implement such standards in 2015.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Company aims at maintaining sound corporate governance routines that provide the basis for long term value creation, to the benefit of shareholders, employees, other interested parties and the society at large.

As a guiding basis for its conduct of corporate governance, the Company uses the national Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance, of October 30, 2014. The status of corporate governance is addressed in a separate section of the Annual Report.

The Board of Directors

In 2014 Sevan Marine had its Annual General Meeting on May 23th. Members of the board are listed in Note 17.

Management

Mr. Reese McNeel was appointed CFO on January 01, 2015 replacing Mr. Kjetil Vangsnes.

GOING CONCERN

In accordance with section 3-3(a) of the Norwegian Accounting Act, the Board confirms that the annual accounts have been prepared on a going concern assumption, which the Board believes is appropriate based on the Company's strategic plans and financial prognosis.

OUTLOOK

The Board is of the opinion that the increased focus on cost effective solutions in the petroleum industry should be favourable for the Company, as floating units based on Sevan's technology represent inherent advantages. Amongst these are excellent motion characteristics, high deck load capacity, large storage space and lower cost compared with alternatives, particularly when a turret is needed.

Sevan is working on several leads and studies within the FPSO and FSO markets. Further to this, the Company expects that some of these leads will end up as license agreements. The strategic relationship with Teekay has developed well and has materialised in several new prospects and opportunities particularly with respect to the accommodation market. The cooperation is based on non-exclusivity and focuses on joint sales and marketing efforts for FPSO and FSO lease contracts, as well as FEED studies and other projects. An important objective going forward is to further strengthen and take advantage of the opportunities generated.

FLNG is one of the fastest growing markets within LNG globally, and Sevan has positioned itself strategically within this segment by developing a concept based on proprietary technology. It has been well received by several potential clients and it is expected that additional paid studies will be carried out in the near/medium term to develop the concept further.

Teekay's acquisition of Logitel Offshore has generated new opportunities in the new business stream of Floating Accommodation Units (FAUs) based on the Sevan design. In addition to two original units, Teekay in August 2014 called off a third high end accommodation unit with the COSCO yard, thus confirming Teekay's intent to build a fleet of FAUs over the coming years. The successful delivery of the first floating accommodation unit, Arendal Spirit, in February 2015 from the yard is a reflection of the success of Teekay and Sevan's joint efforts in this area.

For the Topside and Process Technology business the strategic relationship and co-ownership with Technip of KANFA AS is expected to open up a larger market as well as generate new leads in the markets where Technip operates. This has so far reflected itself in the Letter of Award for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction ("EPC") contract for four process modules for the FPSO Yinson Production as announced on 16 February 2015. In addition to this, the 50 percent owned company KANFA Aragon is primarily focusing on gas processing and FLNG markets, both of which represent positive prospects.

Due to lower oil prices and reduced activity, the drilling market is expected to be challenging for the next years. Sevan is, however, still engaged in developing next generation drilling units for harsh environments as well as for arctic conditions.

The decrease in oil price and reduced activity in the oil services market also impacts Sevan. Several projects have recently been postponed or delayed and, despite a general optimistic outlook for the FPSO / FSO market, Sevan Marine now believes it is less likely that any new license agreements will be secured in 2015.

In reaction to the revised market outlook Sevan has initiated a comprehensive cost reduction program and strategic review with the objective of establishing a solid foundation for future profitable and sustainable growth.

Important objectives have been achieved in 2014, and the Board would like to thank the management and the employees for their dedication, efforts and continued support during the year.

Annual Results and Year-End Appropriations

The Board proposes the following appropriation of the annual profit of USD 2.1 million in the parent company Sevan Marine ASA:

Profit transferred to other equity : USD 2.1 million Total appropriation: USD 2.1 million

STATEMENT REGARDING DETERMINATION OF SALARY AND OTHER BENEFITS FOR SENIOR MANAGEMENT

Pursuant to § 6-16a of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act, the Board of Directors shall prepare a statement on the determination of salary and other benefits to Senior Management. It is further stated in § 5-6 (3) of the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act that an advisory vote shall be held at the Annual General Meeting regarding the Board of Directors' guidelines for determination of remuneration to Senior Management for the next accounting year (ref. (ii) below). To the extent the guidelines are linked to share-based incentive schemes, they will also be subject to approval by the General Meeting (ref. (iii) below).

(i) Remuneration and other Benefits to Senior Management for the Previous Accounting Year

The Company has a remuneration committee which prepares guidelines for the remuneration of the Senior Management.

The Board of Directors adopts the terms and conditions for the remuneration to the CEO in accordance with the guidelines of the remuneration committee, as well as the principal resolutions regarding the Group's remuneration policy and benefit schemes for all employees.

Information Regarding Senior Management

The senior management of the Company (the "Senior Management") includes:

Carl Lieungh, CEO Reese McNeel, CFO Lars Ødeskaug, COO Fredrik Major, CBDO Otto Skjåstad, CTO Morten Martens Breivik, Chief of Staff

Remuneration of Senior Management for the accounting year 2014 is disclosed in Note 19 of the consolidated financial statements.

The CEO will receive 6-24 months' salary upon termination of employment, depending on the circumstances relating to the termination.

The guidelines for determination of remuneration to the Senior Management and any allotment of options were discussed at the Annual General Meeting in May 2014. The Board of Directors has not deviated from these guidelines in relation to the compensation package for Senior Management during the accounting year 2014.

Certain members of the Senior Management sit on the board of directors in the Company's subsidiaries and do not receive any board remuneration for these assignments.

(ii) Remuneration and other Benefits to Senior Management for the Next Accounting Year

For advisory vote at the Annual General Meeting in 2015, the Board of Directors presents the following guidelines for determination of remuneration and other compensation to Senior Management for the accounting year 2015 (which, when finally approved and agreed, will be made effective as of January 1, 2015), the principles and details of which in all material respect (except where otherwise stated) are in conformity with last year's guidelines.

Salary and Payment-in-Kind

The main objective of the Company's remuneration policy for the Senior Management is to provide a competitive and realistic framework for remuneration, contribute to the recruitment of senior personnel with the required skills and secure development of relevant expertise. In addition to the base salary, Senior Management participates in the Group's bonus and stock option schemes along with other key employees. The compensation package for the CEO and other members of the Senior Management may also include a company car arrangement, newspapers, mobile phone and refund of expenses for internet subscription, all in accordance with common market practice. Senior Management further participates in the Group's collective pension and insurance schemes along with all employees in the Group, as well as a pension scheme for Senior Management and certain key employees which covers pension benefits above 12 G. The Company operates both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The defined benefit plans have 27 participants and have been closed for new participants since 2008. The defined contribution plan has 150 participants.

The Board of Directors may grant loans from the Company to key employees. Satisfactory security arrangements shall be provided and the interest rate shall correspond to the current standard interest rate for loans granted to employees.

The Company's remuneration policy is based on defined roles and responsibilities, clear goals and key performance indicators, combined with evaluation of results and achievements. The total compensation package shall as a guideline be at a level that corresponds to the market median in the different markets and industries in which the Group operates.

The annual wage and base salary adjustment takes place on January 1 each year, and shall be based on the general development of wages in the market and relevant industries, combined with an evaluation of the previous year's achievements and results. Any individual salary adjustment shall be based on the annual performance appraisal.

Bonus Scheme and Performance Incentives

The Group's and the business areas' financial and non-financial results, shall form the basis for the collective bonus scheme. A bonus scheme tied to individual performance and results is also established for key employees, including the Senior Management. The collective and individual bonus schemes may in total constitute up to 50% of the base salary. Bonus may be paid annually, based on a performance appraisal of results and achievement and subject to approval by the Board of Directors.

The purpose of the bonus schemes is to incentivise value creation and performance and to align objectives of the Company. The Board of Directors believe the bonus schemes may increase motivation, enthusiasm and team spirit in the organization, reward strong leadership and help foster and increase cooperation across departments and disciplines.

Given the uncertain outlook for 2015 and as a cost reduction measure, no bonus will be paid under the 2014 bonus scheme despite key objectives being met. In accepting this, the board would like to thank the Management and the employees for their understanding and commitment shown to the Company.

Consequences for the Company and the Shareholders

The Board of Directors has confidence in the employees and their motivation and ability to contribute to the Company's results. The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the Company's future success to a high degree depends on highly motivated, qualified and competent Senior Management and staff in general. A well-defined compensation program, together with a good and inspiring work environment in an exciting business, enables the Company to recruit and retain good employees at all levels, and thereby remain competitive. Remuneration of employees is considered an essential contributor to the strategy of creating shareholder value.

(iii) Particulars on Share-Related Incentive Schemes

The Board of Directors continues to believe that sensible share related incentive schemes, with due regard to the Corporate Governance guidelines' section 12, should form part of the Company's compensation package for employees and Senior Management. The Annual General Meeting in 2013 gave its support, in principle, to the introduction of a share related programme. In furtherance hereof, the Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting in 2015 to adopt necessary formal resolutions to authorise the Board of Directors to issue shares under a share related incentive scheme to be implemented.

Corporate Governance in Sevan Marine

As a listed company on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Oslo Børs), the Company aims at conducting its business in accordance with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance of October 30, 2014 (the "Code of Practice") . The Company's principles of corporate governance are in addition to the Code of Practice based on the Continuing Obligations of stock exchange listed companies from the Oslo Børs and the relevant Norwegian background law such as the Norwegian Accounting Act and the Norwegian Public Limited Liability Companies Act. The Code of Practice may be found at www. nues.no and the Continuing Obligations of stock exchange listed companies may be found at www.oslobors.no.

The Company operates on the basis of principles aiming at ensuring openness, integrity and equal treatment of its shareholders. By practicing good corporate governance, appropriate division of roles between shareholders, the Board of Directors and the Senior Management will be secured, thereby contributing to reduced business risk and better shareholder value over time. The Board of Directors and the Senior Management annually evaluate the principles on corporate governance and how they are implemented in the Group.

The Company is committed to high ethical standards in its business dealings to ensure that the integrity of its employees, the organization and the Sevan brand is maintained. Corporate social responsibility for the Company is an extension of the way the Company conducts its business.

In accordance with section 3-3 b of the Norwegian Accounting Act, the Company shall in connection with its annual financial statements provide a statement on how the Company has implemented the principles of, and account for any deviations from, the Code of Practice. Below is an outline on the Company's principles for corporate governance, in accordance with the categories listed in the Code of Practice.

Business

The Company's objective, as set out in § 3 of the Company's articles of association (the "Articles"), is "to deliver products and services to the oil industry and activities related to this, and investing in other companies". The Board of Directors is of the opinion that the business objectives laid down in the Articles provide predictability and direction for the Company's business strategy and the activities that it may conduct, acquire or initiate. The Articles are available at the Company's website.

The Company's vision is to be a world-class company in some of the technologically challenging segments of the offshore oil and gas market. The Company focuses on utilizing its competitive advantages within design, engineering, project execution and operations to offer

cost-efficient and innovative products and solutions to its clients, based on the proprietary Sevan design.

Equity and Dividend

The Company seeks to maintain a healthy financial structure which is adjusted to its business and the offshore market fluctuations, as well as the duration of its contract portfolio. As of December, 31, 2014, the Group had an equity share ratio of 70.9%. The Board of Directors continually reviews the Group's capital situation in light of the Company's targets, strategies and risk profile.

The Company also aims at providing its shareholders with a competitive return on investment over time, and targets that the underlying values shall be reflected in the Company's share price. The Company shall aim at paying dividends to its shareholders on a regular basis to the extent prudent in the circumstances.

The Board of Directors will propose to the Annual General Meeting in 2015 to grant the Board of Directors authorization to increase the share capital in connection with the incentive scheme for employees.

The Company has one major shareholder, Teekay Corporation ("Teekay"), which currently holds 43.5% of the Company's shares. As two out of the five of the Company's shareholder-elected members are Teekay employees, and the Company may engage in business activities with or in cooperation with Teekay, the Company has established specific guidelines for how to handle matters concerning the commercial relationship between the Company and Teekay. This shall be handled at board level, with a view to securing a foreseeable and consistent practice which caters for potential conflict of interest situations, arm's-length treatment and sound governance.

Pursuant to the Company's Rules of Procedure for the Board of Directors, in the event of transactions which are not insignificant between the Company and its shareholders, Directors or Senior Management, the Board of Directors shall obtain a valuation from an independent third party.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The presentation currency of the Group is USD which corresponds to the functional currency of the majority of the entities in the Group. All numbers are in USD 1,000,000 unless otherwise stated.

2.1 Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the European Union (EU) and valid as of December 31, 2014. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. Areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 4.

2.1.1 Changes in Accounting Policy and Disclosures

Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets – Amendments to IAS 36 Impairment of Assets

These amendments require disclosure of the recoverable amounts for the assets or CGUs for which impairment loss has been recognized or reversed during the period. These amendments are effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. These amendments have been considered while making disclosures for impairment of non-financial assets.

The Group does not include disclosures of any new and amended standards and interpretations that do not have any impact on its financial statements.

2.2 Consolidation

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries comprise all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee.

Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

  • Power over the investee
  • Exposure , or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and
  • The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, the Group consider all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee
  • Rights arising from other contractual arrangements
  • The Group's voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses control over the subsidiary.

A change in ownership interest of a subsidiary, without loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred assumed at the date of exchange. Acquisitionrelated costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities incurred in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree's identifiable net assets.

The excess of the cost of the acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of the acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized in the income statement immediately.

Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated but considered an impairment indicator of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of subsidiaries are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Transactions and non-controlling interests

The group treats transactions with non-controlling interests as transactions with equity owners of the group. For purchases from non-controlling interests, the difference between any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

Disposal of subsidiaries

When the group ceases to have control or significant influence, any retained interest in the entity is re measured to its fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that entity are accounted for as if the group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

2.3 Associates

Associates comprise all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are initially recognized at cost. The Group's investment in associates includes goodwill (net of any accumulated impairment loss) identified on acquisition.

If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss where appropriate.

The Group's share of associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in the income statement, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative post-acquisition movements are adjusted against the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's ownership share in the associate. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates are changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.4 Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors, responsible for making strategic decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

Operating segments

The Group's segment reporting is divided into two: (i) Floating Production and (ii) Topside and Process Technology.

The activities within the Floating Production segment relate to the design, engineering and project development of the Sevan platforms (FPSOs, FSOs and FAUs). This includes licensing of the Sevan proprietary design for floating units.

The segment Topside and Process Technology consists of the activities of KANFA AS and subsidiaries which mainly relate to the provision of services and equipment packages to the processing plants of floating units.

Geographic perspective

The Group's operating segments operate in the global offshore market and have common marketing and Senior Management functions. Currently, the Group does not consider the business from a geographic perspective.

2.5 Foreign Currency Translation

Functional and presentation currency

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which each entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Group's presentation currency. The functional currency for the parent company is USD.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from settlement of such transactions (realized items) and from translation at exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies (unrealized items) are recognized in the income statement, except when deferred in equity as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to interest-bearing debt and cash and cash equivalents are presented (net) as a separate line item in the income statement within financial items. Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to operation are presented (net) as a separate line item in the income statement within operating expenses.

Group companies

The results and financial position of all Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyperinflationary economy) that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency, are translated into the presentation currency as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date.

Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in Other Comprehensive Income.

Upon consolidation, exchange differences arising from the translation of the net investment in foreign operations, and of borrowings and other currency instruments designated as hedges of such investments, are taken to other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is sold, exchange differences that were recorded in equity are recognized in the income statement as part of the gain or loss on sale. Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing rate.

2.6 Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Group's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in 'intangible assets'. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in 'investments in associates'. Separately recognized goodwill is tested annually for impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gains and losses on the disposal of an entity include the carrying amount of goodwill relating to the entity sold. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

Computer software

Acquired computer software is capitalized on the basis of the cost incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years. Cost associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs are recognized in the income statement as incurred.

Technology rights

Acquired technology rights are capitalized on the basis of the cost incurred to acquire. These cost are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

2.7 Impairment of Non-financial Assets

Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization but are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less cost to sell and value-in-use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels at which separate cash flows are identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that has suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.

2.8 Trade Receivables and other Financial Assets

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less, they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and default or delinquency in payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the effective interest rate. The provision is recognized in the income statement as 'other operating expense'.

Hedge accounting has not been applied in 2014 or 2013.

Loans and receivables are measured at fair value at transaction date, subsequently remeasured at amortized cost. Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Financial assets are included in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance sheet date, in which case they are classified as non-current assets.

2.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents

In the consolidated statement of cash flow, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, bank deposits, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.

2.10 Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental cost directly attributable to the issue of new shares is shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds. Where any Group company acquires the Company's equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including any directly attributable cost (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company's equity holders until the shares are cancelled, reissued or disposed of. Where such shares are subsequently sold or reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable transaction cost and income tax, is included in equity attributable to the Company's equity holders.

2.11 Current and Deferred Income Tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and change in deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit and loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and legislation) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The tax base included in the calculation of deferred income tax is calculated in local currency and translated into USD at foreign exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date. Deferred income tax asset and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred

14 27 ANNUAL REPORT SEVAN MARINE

income taxes assets and liabilities related to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.

2.12 Employee Benefits

Pension obligations

Group companies operate both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The schemes are funded through payments to insurance companies. For defined contribution plans, the group pays contribution to privately administrated pension insurance plans. The group has no further payment obligation once the contribution has been paid. The contribution are recognized as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset in the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically, defined benefits plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plan is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized past-service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates on government bonds in the currency which the benefit will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related obligation.

Starting from January 1, 2013 there has been a change in the pension accounting policy, resulting in that actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged directly against equity through the statement of comprehensive income. The pension liability opening balance of January 1, 2013 has been restated accordingly.

Share-based compensation

The Group operates a share-based compensation plan. The cost represented by the fair value at award date is expensed over the vesting period. The fair value at the date of the award is supported by a third party calculation using the Black & Scholes' option-pricing model.

Cost represented by employer's contribution tax of the excess of fair value of the share relative to the strike prices (intrinsic value) is expensed over the vesting period in line with the changing market price of the Company's shares.

When the options are exercised, the Company issues new shares. The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

Profit-sharing and bonus plans

The Group recognizes a provision where contractually obliged or where there is a constructive obligation. The provision takes into account the incurred portion of the measurement period and shall be based on a 'best estimate' of the expected achievements of the key performance indicators as set out in the actual bonus program.

2.13 Provisions

A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured as the present value of the expected expenditures required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that accounts for time value of money and risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

2.14 Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. Revenue is shown, net of value-added tax, estimated returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminated sales within the Group.

The group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria have been met for each of the group's activities as described below. The group bases its estimates on historical results, taking into consideration the type of customer, the type of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

Revenue is recognized as follows:

Sale of services: The group sells design and engineering services to other oil service companies and oil companies. These services are provided on a time basis, with contract terms generally ranging from less than one year to three years and recognized as revenue as hours are performed.

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Design fee/license revenue is recognized in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements. For 2014 and 2013, license revenue has been recognised in line with the construction project of the units the license is related to.

Revenue recognised from construction contract (reference to 2.15 below).

Other operating revenues are recognized in line with the development of the underlying projects.

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

2.15 Construction Contracts

Cost regarding construction contracts is expensed when incurred. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, the contract revenue is recognised only to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and contract costs associated with the construction contract is recognised as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period.

When it is probable that the total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

The stage of completion method is used for calculating the revenue for a certain measurement period.

2.16 Dividend Distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividend is approved by the Company's shareholders.

2.17 Trade Payables

Trade Payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.18 Operating lease

The Group has entered into several office lease agreements. These office lease agreements fall in under the operating lease definition and are thus not capitalized.

NOTE 3 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

3.1 Financial Risk Factors

The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk, cash flow interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial performance.

3.1.1 Market Risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the NOK, EURO and GBP. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognized assets or liabilities, and net investments in foreign operations.

Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions or recognized assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not an entity's functional currency. The Group aims at achieving a natural hedge between cash inflows and cash outflows.

The Group has certain investments in foreign operations, who's net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk.

Based on the balance sheet clean-up resulting from the restructuring the Group assess the foreign exchange risk to be immaterial at the time of this report.

Price risk

The Group is exposed to commodity price risk at two main levels; The demand for Sevan units is sensitive to oil price developments, fluctuations in production levels, exploration results and general activity within the oil industry.

3.1.2 Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and deposits with banks and financial institutions, as well as loans and credit exposures to customers. With the exception of the USD 60 million loan to Logitel Offshore, the Group has no significant concentration of credit risk towards single financial institutions and has policies that limit the amount of credit exposure to any single financial institution.

3.1.3 Liquidity Risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities, and the ability to close out market positions.

The Group has implemented routines to continuously update its cash flow forecast when changes to main assumptions relating to repayment schedules, milestone payments in relation to construction contracts etc to be able to foresee the necessary actions to taken to rectify any potential adverse effects on its future liquidity position.

3.1.4 Covenant

2014:

The Sevan Group was not exposed to any covenants in 2014.

2013:

After the completion of the FPSO Voyageur Spirit transaction in May 2013, the Group is debt free and no covenants are relevant.

3.1.5 Capital and Cash Management

The Group has exercised a conservative capital and cash management during 2014. A sound financial position, with no interestbearing debt and an asset light balance sheet reduces the capital and cash management risks.

3.2 Fair Value Estimation

Financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair value or for which fair value are disclosed apply the following measurement hierarchy:

  • Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included in level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)
  • Level 3 Inputs that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs)

At balance sheet date the Group does not have any financial instruments at fair value.

NOTE 4 ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are assumed to be reasonable under current circumstances.

4.1 Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are disclosed below.

Estimated impairment of goodwill

The Group annually tests whether goodwill has suffered any impairment in accordance with the accounting policy stated in Note 2.8. The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates. The recognized goodwill is related to Topside & Process Technology segment. In 2014, Sevan Marine ASA sold 49% of its shareholding in KANFA AS to Technip Norway. In addition, Technip Norway has an option in 2017 to purchase Sevan Marine ASA's remaining shareholding (51%) at the following formula:

• Average EBITDA for 2014, 2015 and 2016 multiplied with 8 multiplied with 51%

Based on this option agreement, the goodwill impairment test in 2014 is based on the following criteria:

  • Actual EBITDA for 2014 for relevant KANFA companies
  • Estimated EBITDA for 2015 and 2016 for relevant KANFA companies

Based on the impairment test performed, Sevan has in the 2014 financial statement written down USD 5.9 million of formerly USD 11.9 million capitalized as goodwill.

Should the estimated EBITDA for 2015 and 2016 be 10% lower, the impairment test would result in an additional impairment of goodwill of approximately USD 0.9 million.

Taxes

The Group is subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes. During the ordinary course of business, transactions and calculations occur for which the ultimate tax effect is uncertain. The Group recognizes liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues based on estimates of whether additional taxes will be due. Where the final outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recognized, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made.

The accounting for deferred income tax asset relies upon management's judgment of the Group's ability to generate future positive taxable income in each respective jurisdiction.

The companies within the Sevan Marine Group have in sum material deductible temporary differences (reference is made to note 15) which, dependent on meeting the recognition requirements according to IAS 12, could result in recognition of deferred tax assets in the balance sheet. The Company is of the opinion that at present the recognition requirements is not met, thus a write-down of USD 8 million of previously capitalized deferred tax asset is performed in 2014.

Provisions

The Group uses estimates in calculating provisions.

Provision regarding previously owned FPSO, 'Piranema Spirit' The Company has a provision of USD 4.4 million in connection with expected claims under certain indemnities given to Teekay in relation to the sale of the FPSO Piranema Spirit. The provision was initially recognised in 2011 with the amount of USD 5.4 million and was reduced during 2013 with USD 1.0 million to reflect an updated assessment at December 31, 2013. No new material information has been received during this provision in 2014, thus the provision is unchanged at December 31, 2014.

4.2 Critical Judgments in Applying the Group's Policies

Loan to Logitel Offshore

The Convertible bond loan to Logitel Offshore Pte Ltd of USD 60 million is classified as loan. Management has used judgements when assessing the reality behind the several agreements entered into in connection with the Logitel Offshore transactions and is of the opinion that this classification is in accordance with the underlying facts. Reference is made to Note 29.

NOTE 5 SEGMENT INFORMATION

Operating segments considered from a business perspective

The Group's segment reporting is divided into two: (i) Floating Production and (ii) Topside and Process Technology. Determination of the operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Board of Directors, responsible for making strategic decisions, allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

Revenue in the Floating Production segment consists of the activities relating to the Goliat project, the Western Isles project and several studies. Income related to the Goliat customer, ENI constitute 15.4% of total external customer revenues. Income related to the Western Isles customer, Dana Petroleum constitute 21.2% of total external customer revenues.

The Topside and Process Technology segment consists of the activities of KANFA AS, KANFA Aragon AS, KANFA Ingenium Process AS and KANFA Mator AS whose primary business activities relate to the provision of services and equipment to processing plants for FPSOs.

NOTE 12 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The exercise prices of share options awarded to employees was at minimum equal to the market price of the share at the time of the award. All of the remaining options may be exercised with 1/3 each year, first time one year following the award and expire five years following the award. Upon the occurrence of a "change of control" all outstanding options may be exercised. A "change of control" shall be deemed to have occurred if more than 1/3 of the Company's shares are owned by a shareholder or group of shareholders. In November 30, 2011 Teekay Corporation subscribed and paid for new shares, obtaining an ownership of more than 1/3 of the Company's shares. As a result of this, these share options are now exercisable and the related remaining share option cost was accounted for in full in 2011. The Group has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash.

Remaining share options and weighted average exercise prices were as follows:

2014 2013
Average exercise price Average exercise price
after reverse share split No. of after reverse share split No. of
(NOK per share) options (NOK per share) options

Of the 33 thousand remaining options (2012: 74 thousand), all options were exercisable (2012: 74 thousand). No options were exercised during 2014 and 2013.

Expiration dates and average exercise prices for the remaining share options:

Exercise price after Share options
reverse share split 1:100 remaining at the end of year
Year of expiration (NOK per share) 2014 2013
2012 5,825 0 0

2013 7,800 0 0
2015 881 33,000 33,000
Total 33,000 33,000

The average fair value of options awarded during 2010, determined using the Black-Scholes' option-pricing model, was NOK 209 after adjustment for the reverse share split. The significant inputs into the model were share price at the award dates, exercise prices as shown above, standard deviation of expected share price returns of 30%, dividend yield of 0%, estimated option life, and annual risk-free interest rate of 3.0%. No options were awarded during 2014 and 2013.

As of December 31, 2014, none of the remaining share options were 'in-the-money'. The remaining share option expires in 2015, and the share price has to exceed NOK 881 per share to be exercised.

The company has responded to the tax authorities with explanations of why the tax deduction made in 2012 is correct, but no final decision has been issued by the tax authorities at the time of this Report. Should the tax authorities uphold its decision, the company may face a payable tax in the region of MOK 30-40 million.

NOTE 15 RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS

Companies in the Group operate both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. The actuarial calculations for the Group's defined benefit plans were carried out by an independent actuary. Calculated pension obligation for 2014 is based on mortality table K2013 (2013: K2013) and disability table K1963 adjusted for observed developments. The principal actuarial assumptions are based on guidelines from the Norwegian Accounting Standards Board. The defined benefit plans have 27 participants (2013: 25 participants) and these plans have been closed for new participants since 2008. Net pension obligation in the balance sheet is 1.1 (2013: 0.9) consisting of gross obligation of 6.2 (2013: 5.4) and pension plan assets of 5.1 (2013: 4.5). Pension cost charged to the income statement is 2.3 (2013: 2.3) whereof 0.7 is related to defined benefit pension plans and 1.6 (2013: 1.6) is related to defined contribution plans. The defined contribution plan has 150 participants (2013: 149 participants). The Group's pension schemes satisfy the requirements in the Norwegian legislation regarding mandatory occupational pension.

All provisions in 2014 and 2013 are current in nature.

Warranties

Provision for warranties is based on historical experience as well as estimates for legal claims.

Bonus

Provision for bonus for 2013 was based on a defined bonus program for employees in the Sevan Group for the measurement period January 1, 2013, to December 31, 2013. The provision is based on a 'best estimate' of the expected achievements of the key performance indicators as set out in the bonus program and takes into account the incurred portion of the measurement period at balance sheet date. The bonus was paid out in March 2014. During 2014, bonus provision based on 2014 KPI's was accrued. This provision was reversed in December 2014 as due to the poor market outlook and need to reduce cost, it was agreed with the Board of Directors that no 2014 bonus shall be paid despite certain objectives having been reached.

Provision FPSO Piranema Spirit

The remaining provision regarding the restructuring relates to expected claims under certain indemnities given to Teekay in relation to the sale of the FPSO Piranema Spirit in 2011. The Company adjusted the provision of USD 5.4 million downwards to USD 4.4 million in 2013, and remain unchanged at year-end 2014. Cash outflow is expected to occur during 2015 and onwards.

  • USD 8.4 million in license revenue receivable.

As of December 31, 2014, three units were under construction. USD 10 million is payable for each unit no later than 6 months after delivery of each unit from the yard. These payments will be accounted for as repayment of the loan.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Sevan Marine ASA's ('the Company') financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.

Sevan Marine ASA is the parent company of the Sevan Marine Group ('the Group').

The Company`s functional currency is US dollar (USD). All numbers in the financial statements are in USD 1,000,000 unless otherwise stated.

Principal Rule for Evaluation and Classification of Assets and Liabilities

Assets intended for long term ownership or use, are classified as fixed assets. Assets relating to the operating cycle are classified as current assets. Receivables are classified as current assets if they are to be repaid within one year after balance sheet date. Equivalent criteria apply to liabilities.

Current assets are valued at the lower of purchase cost and net realizable value. Current liabilities are reflected in the balance sheet at nominal value at establishment date.

Fixed assets are valued at purchase cost. Fixed assets whose value will decline are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset's estimated useful life. Fixed assets are written down to net realizable value if a value reduction occurs that is expected to be permanent. Long-term liabilities are reflected in the balance sheet at nominal value on establishment date.

Trade Receivables and Other Receivables

Trade receivables and other receivables are reflected in the balance sheet at nominal value less provision for estimated losses. Estimated losses are provided for on the basis of an individual assessment of each debtor.

Trade payables

Trade Payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Provisions

A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated.

Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognized even if the likelihood of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

Provisions are measured as the present value of the expected expenditures required to settle the obligation using a pre-tax discount rate that accounts for time value of money and risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

Tangible Fixed Assets

Fixed assets are reflected in the balance sheet and depreciated over the asset's expected useful life on a straight-line basis. Maintenance cost is expensed as incurred. Additions or improvements are added to the asset's cost price and depreciated with the asset. When changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment charge is recognized and the asset is written down to recoverable amount (being the highest of net sales value and value in use). Value in use is the net present value of the expected future cash flows generated from the asset.

Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisition over the fair value of the Company's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary/associate at the date of acquisition. Goodwill on acquisition of subsidiaries is included in 'intangible assets'. Goodwill on acquisitions of associates is included in 'investment in associates'. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purpose of impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cashgenerating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the business combination in which the goodwill arose.

Computer software

Acquired computer software is capitalized on the basis of the cost incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives, ranging from three to five years. Cost associated with developing or maintaining computer software programs are recognized in the income statement as incurred.

Shares in Subsidiaries and Associated Companies

In the parent company's accounts, investments in subsidiaries and associated companies are recorded under the cost method. Investments are written down to fair value when a reduction in value is expected to be permanent.

Dividend is recognized as income in the year the provision is made in the subsidiary. If the dividend exceeds retained earnings, the excess represents repayment of invested capital, and dividend is deducted from the book value of the investment in the balance sheet.

Cash and Bank Deposits

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

Currency

Cash and bank deposits, current assets, and current liabilities nominated in foreign currencies are converted to exchange rates prevailing at balance sheet date. Realized and unrealized exchange

14 56 ANNUAL REPORT SEVAN MARINE

gains and losses on assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are included as financial or operational items in the income statement depending on the characteristics of the underlying asset or liability.

Pension Plans

The Company operates both defined benefit and defined contribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Company 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. Cost associated with the defined contribution plans are expensed as incurred.

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan. Typically, defined benefits plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The pension expense and pension commitments are calculated on a straight-line earning profile basis, based on assumptions relating to discount rates, projected salaries, the amount of benefits from the National Insurance Scheme, future return on pension assets, and actuarial calculations relating to mortality rate, voluntary retirement, etc. Pension funds are valued at net realizable value and deducted from the net pension obligation in the balance sheet.

Taxes

Deferred income taxes is provided using the liability method on temporary difference at balance sheet date between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purpose. Tax-reducing temporary differences and losses carry forward are offset against tax-increasing temporary differences that are reversed in the same time intervals. Taxes consist of taxes payable (taxes on current year taxable income) and change in net deferred taxes. Tax base included in the calculation of deferred income tax is calculated in local currency and translated to USD at currency rates prevailing at balance sheet date.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit/loss by the weighted average of number of outstanding shares. Shares issued during the year are weighted in relation to the period they have been outstanding.

Share Based Incentive Plans

The Company operates a share-based compensation plan. In line with generally accepted accounting principles in Norway, the cost represented by the fair value at the date of the award is expensed over the vesting period. The fair value at the date of the award is confirmed by a third party calculation using the Black & Scholes' option-pricing model.

Cost represented by employer's contribution tax of the excess of fair value of the share relative to the strike prices (intrinsic value) is expensed over the vesting period in line with the changing market price of the stock.

Cash Flow Statement

The cash flow statement is prepared in accordance with the indirect method.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of business. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax and discounts.

The Company recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and in accordance with the underlying contracts.

Design fee/license revenue

Design fee/license revenue is recognized on in accordance with the underlying contracts.

Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method.

Sales of services

Service income is recognized in line with the underlying contracts and the amount of work executed.

Leases

Leases in which a significant portion of the risk and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. All lease agreements entered into by the Company at balance sheet date are considered to be operational leases.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to use estimates and assumptions that impact the value of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure notes. Such estimates and assumptions may have significant impact on reported revenue and cost for a specific reporting period. Actual amounts may therefore deviate from the estimates.

Contingent losses, which are likely to occur as well as quantifiable, are expensed when incurred.

NOTE 15 SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

The exercise prices of share options awarded to employees was at minimum equal to the market price of the share at the time of the award. All of the remaining options may be exercised with 1/3 each year, first time one year following the award and expire five years following the award. Upon the occurrence of a "change of control" all outstanding options may be exercised. A "change of control" shall be deemed to have occurred if more than 1/3 of the Company's shares are owned by a shareholder or group of shareholders. In November 30, 2011 Teekay Corporation subscribed and paid for new shares, obtaining an ownership of more than 1/3 of the Company's shares. As a result of this, these share options are now exercisable and the related remaining share option cost was accounted for in full in 2011. The Company has no legal or constructive obligation to repurchase or settle the options in cash.

Remaining share options and weighted average exercise prices were as follows:

2014 2013
Average exercise price Average exercise price

Of the 29 thousand remaining options (2013: 29 thousand), all options were exercisable (2013: all). No options were exercised during 2014 and 2013.

Expirations dates and average exercise prices for the remaining share options:

2013 6,275 0 0
2015 881 29,000 29,000
Total 29,000 29,000

The average fair value of options awarded during 2010, determined using the Black-Scholes' option-pricing model, was NOK 212 after adjustment for the reverse share split. The significant inputs into the model were share price at the award dates, exercise prices as shown above, standard deviation of expected share price returns of 30%, dividend yield of 0%, estimated option life, and annual risk-free interest rate of 3.0%. No options were awarded during 2014.

As of December 31, 2014, none of the outstanding share options were in-the-money. The remaining share option expires in 2015, and the share price has to exceed NOK 881 per share to be exercised.
