Prosafe is the world's leading owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation vessels. The company operates globally and employed 796 people at year-end. Operating profit reached USD 248.3 million in 2014 and net profit was USD 178.8 million.
With six dynamically positioned vessels and five anchored vessels, Prosafe's fleet is versatile and able to operate in nearly all offshore environments.
In addition, one new harsh environment semisubmersible accommodation vessel compliant with Norwegian regulations was delivered from the yard in January 2015 and will commence operations in the North Sea in the second quarter of 2015. The sister vessel is under construction at Jurong Shipyard and will be completed later this year.
Furthermore, Prosafe is building two semisubmersible accommodation vessels at COSCO (Qidong) Offshore Co. Ltd. These vessels will be the most advanced and flexible units for worldwide operations excluding Norway, and will be ready for operations in 2016.
The company's track record comprises operations offshore Norway, UK, Mexico, USA, Brazil, Denmark, Tunisia, West Africa, North-West and South Australia, the Philippines and Russia.
Prosafe's operations are amongst other related to maintenance and modification of installations on fields already in production, hook-up and commissioning of new fields, tie-backs to existing infrastructure and decommissioning.
Accommodation vessels offer additional accommodation, engineering, construction or storage capacity offshore. Prosafe's vessels have accommodation capacity for 306-812 people and offer high quality welfare and catering facilities, storage, workshops, offices, medical services, deck cranes and lifesaving and fire fighting equipment. The vessels are positioned alongside the host installation and are connected by means of a telescopic gangway so that personnel can walk to work.
Prosafe has a strong track record from demanding operations world wide, with first class operational performance and good safety results. The company has extensive experience from operating gangway connected to fixed installations, FPSOs, TLPs, Semis and Spars.
The company's track record comprises operations offshore Norway, UK, Mexico, USA, Brazil, Denmark, Tunisia, West Africa, North-west and South Australia, the Philippines and Russia.
Prosafe is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS.
The oil and gas industry has always been a cyclical industry with considerable volatility in return on capital. On top of this, the industry has from time to time gone through rapid structural changes that have transformed the market dynamics and the way the business is working.
The ability to adapt to a changing environment has therefore always been one of the key success factors for companies involved in the industry.
Until the third quarter of 2015, the oil price had been trading steadily above USD 90 per barrel for almost four years. Despite the price of the most important source of income for the oil companies remaining at a reasonably high level for such a long period of time, the return of capital among the largest oil companies in the world trended downwards in this period.
This development is a result of increased investments by the oil companies combined with cost inflation. Over the past eight to nine months the oil price has fallen sharply, adding to the challenge.
Production of oil and gas is impacting the environment in different ways. The impact can be felt and observed both globally (emission of harmful gasses to the environment) and locally (changes to the landscape, use of scarce natural resources, impact on wild life, etc.).
Improving efficiency in the industry as well as finding and using cleaner technologies and smarter processes that reduce the oil industry's environmental footprint is vital for further sustainable development.
In the long term, all companies involved in the oil and gas sector, whether they are oil companies or service/asset providers, are dependent on a turnaround in these trends.

Only the companies that are able to adapt to the changing realities will stay competitive.
In order to address these challenges, the majority of oil companies in the world have initiated efficiency programmes with the aim to do things in a smarter way and to save cost. This has put pressure on the service providers to do the same.
Prosafe's response to the changing realities can be summarised in four main categories.
Fleet: Over the past few years, Prosafe has substantially increased the investment in fleet development. Several of the existing vessels have gone through life-extension and upgrade programmes, with the main purpose of making them more efficient and better adapted to the clients' needs.
Furthermore, Prosafe has ordered four new builds that all will be the most efficient and adaptive vessels in their respective categories.
Improved efficiency of the fleet will not only reduce emissions to the environment on a like-for-like basis, but will also contribute to accelerated offshore execution periods reducing the overall emissions from the projects the company is involved in.
All in all, this not only ensures that Prosafe has the most modern and capable fleet in the accommodation support segment, but that we also can offer the widest range of vessels for covering the varying needs of the clients.
Organisation: In 2013, Prosafe started a process of changing the way the business is organised. A key ambition was to facilitate improved cooperation between disciplines and functions at the same time as responsibilities were made clearer.
Simultaneously, it has been made sure that decision lines have been shortened. This has improved efficiency and made the organisation better suited to respond to changing client needs more rapidly.
Ways of working: Following implementation of the organisational changes described above, focus shifted to the different processes and interfaces in the business. The objective is to find smarter and more efficient ways of working.
This involves numerous measures and initiatives. One example is the implementation of improved five-year vessel plans for activities such as maintenance and special periodic survey, to a greater extent taking the overall fleet plan and group strategy into account.
Only the companies that are able to adapt to the changing realities will stay competitive.
Another example is the review of the entire cost structure both onshore and offshore. This has already led to the introduction of cost efficiency initiatives, and more is to come during the remainder of 2015.
Cost of Capital: In a capital intensive business like the accommodation support vessel industry, the cost of capital is an important cost element and competition parameter. On a relative basis Prosafe has been able to reduce cost of capital
over the past few years. This has been done through fleet renewal investments, consistently robust operating performance and an active capital allocation strategy.
Given the weakening market outlook for the industry, Prosafe has lately been focusing on extending the duration of the loan portfolio. The new USD 1,300 million debt facility entered into in February 2015 is the most important element in this strategy, but also other measures are contributing.
A solid financing structure with reduced refinancing risk should make sure that Prosafe remains the most robust and reliable provider of accommodation support services for the oil and gas industry also in the future.
In addition to being the world's largest owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation vessels, Prosafe also has the longest track-record in terms of operations and can demonstrate excellent HSEQ results. Furthermore, the company has an efficient cost structure through economies of scale, the world's most flexible and cost efficient fleet and a robust financing structure. This makes the company the undisputable market leader in the high-end accommodation market.
Adding on the different measures and initiatives to further improve efficiency and reduce cost, Prosafe is well placed to take advantage of weaker market conditions to further enhance its position in the industry over the coming years.

Operating revenues totalled USD 548.7 million in 2014 (USD 523.5 million in 2013), with utilisation of the fleet rising to 87 per cent (83 per cent). Charter revenues reached USD 481.2 million (USD 469.2 million), and non-charter revenues increased from USD 54.3 million to USD 67.5 million.
Total operating expenses increased to USD 236.1 million (USD 216.9 million), largely as a result of the higher activity level.
Depreciation increased to USD 64.3 million (USD 61.5 million).
The resulting operating profit amounts to USD 248.3 million (USD 245.1 million).
Net interest expenses totalled USD 37.0 million (USD 32.9 million). This increase is mainly due to higher interest-bearing debt. In accordance with IFRS, interest costs totalling USD 7.9 million (USD 4.5 million) have been allocated to new build and refurbishment projects, and consequently capitalised as part of the vessel investment costs.
Other financial items amounted to USD -20 million (USD -8.5 million). These figures include the net effect from changes in value of financial currency hedging instruments and revaluation of NOK denominated bond loans.
Taxes for 2014 were USD 12.5 million (USD 4.6 million). This increase is mainly due to increased tax on operations on the UK continental shelf.
Net profit amounted to USD 178.8 million (USD 199.1 million), resulting in diluted earnings per share of USD 0.76 (USD 0.85).
Total assets amounted to USD 1 816.8 million (USD 1 619.9 million) at the end of 2014. Investments in tangible assets totalled USD 211 million (USD 227.2 million). The investments in 2014 include the upgrade of Safe Scandinavia and project expenses related to four new build vessels.
As at year-end 2014, the Prosafe Group had total liquid assets of USD 122.4 million (USD 113.4 million). The liquidity reserve (liquid assets plus undrawn credit facilities) totalled USD 337.4 million (USD 486.4 million).
Total shareholders' equity amounted to USD 748.5 million (USD 739.7 million), resulting in a book equity ratio of 41.2 per cent (45.7 per cent).
Interest-bearing debt amounted to USD 830.1 million (USD 779.6 million) at year-end. Repayments of debt totalled USD 198 million (USD 407.8 million), while gross increase in borrowing amounted to USD 332.2 million (USD 404.1 million). In May 2014, the company secured a new credit facility. The credit facility, which has a maturity of seven years, consists of two tranches of USD 144 million (USD 288 million in total) that can be drawn upon delivery of the two new builds, Safe Notos and Safe Eurus. The availability under each tranche is reduced quarterly with USD 3 million, starting 3 months after delivery of the tranche security. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is 2.25 per cent above 3-month LIBOR.
In February 2015, the company also secured a new credit facility of USD 1 300 million for the refinancing of the existing USD 1 100 million and USD 420 million credit facilities. The credit facility, which has a maturity of seven years, consists of two term loan tranches totalling USD 800 million (drawn on closing) and USD 200 million (drawn on delivery of the Safe Zephyrus) and a revolver loan tranche of USD 300 million. The availability
under the term loan tranches is reduced semiannually, starting 6 months after delivery of the tranche security, with an amount that reduces the term loan commitments to zero by the final maturity. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is 1.90 per cent above 3-month LIBOR for the first five years and 2.15 per cent above 3-month LIBOR thereafter.

Prosafe is the world's largest owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation vessels. As at year-end, the fleet consisted of 11 vessels in operation plus four new builds in progress.
Specifications of each of the vessels and details of the current vessel contracts can be found on the company's website at http://www.prosafe.com.
Safe Hibernia, Jasminia, Safe Britannia, Safe Lancia and Safe Regency operated on long-term bareboat charters in Mexico throughout the year. The contract for Safe Hibernia was extended during the year.
Safe Concordia operated on a long-term contract in Brazil throughout the year. A three-year extension of the contract, awarded in December 2013, commenced in July 2014 on expiry of the previous contract.
Safe Astoria was under contract with Swiber in Indonesia from January to May 2014. In July the vessel mobilised to the Philippines to commence an 11-month contract with Shell.
Safe Caledonia worked for BP in the UK until the end of March 2014. In June 2014 the vessel commenced a contract for Nexen in the UK until April 2015.
Safe Scandinavia was completing a life extension refurbishment and a five-year special periodic survey (SPS) at the Remontowa yard in Gdansk, Poland at the beginning of the year. In May 2014 the vessel commenced work for Statoil in Norway until October, when it moved to UK to work on a five-month contract with Premier Oil.
In May 2014 Prosafe signed a contract with Statoil for the use of Safe Scandinavia as a Tender Support Vessel (TSV) at the Oseberg Øst field in Norway. Engineering, procurement and fabrication of certain modules and items of equipment started in the spring of 2014 and the vessel went into the yard to undergo the conversion in March 2015.
Regalia was in the Keppel Verolme yard in Rotterdam, the Netherlands at the beginning of 2014 undergoing refurbishment work and a five-year SPS. From the end of February 2014 the vessel worked for Statoil in Norway, before commencing a 450-day contract with Talisman in the UK in late August 2014.
Safe Bristolia worked for BG in the UK from April 2014. In early October 2014 the vessel sustained damage to lifeboats after experiencing severe weather conditions. Operations were suspended and the vessel was brought to a shipyard in Norway for repair work, where it remained throughout the year.
New builds. Prosafe had four vessels under construction during 2014. In December 2011 and November 2012, respectively, the company ordered Safe Boreas and Safe Zephyrus from Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. in Singapore. The vessels are constructed according to strict Norwegian regulations and on completion will be the most well-equipped and sophisticated offshore accommodation units in the world.
Safe Boreas was delivered from the yard in mid January 2015 and is currently in transit to Norway, where it is scheduled to commence a contract with Lundin Petroleum Norway AS in late April or early May 2015. Safe Zephyrus is scheduled for delivery during the summer of 2015.
In 2013 Prosafe entered into a turnkey contract with COSCO (Qidong) Offshore Co., Ltd. in China, for the delivery of two accommodation vessels, Safe Notos and Safe Eurus, for use worldwide, excluding Norway. The vessels are designed and equipped to meet the requirements of the accommodation industry and will be the leading vessels in their sector when they are ready for use in 2016.
In addition to the new builds, the company has also invested substantially in the existing fleet over the past years.
2014 saw a significant slow-down in contracting activity compared to 2013. Nevertheless, the gross value of charter contracts including clients' extension options increased to USD 1 843 million (USD 1 239 million excluding options) from
USD 1 689 million (USD 1 258 million excluding options), mainly as a result of the TSV contract for Safe Scandinavia.
Due to a combination of increasing spending levels and cost inflation, the return on capital in respect of E&P companies has gradually declined during recent years. In order to address this issue, most of the E&P companies in the world have introduced measures to decrease spending by reducing investment plans and cutting cost.
In addition, recent falls in oil price have led to further negative revisions of spending plans resulting in the deferral of several projects.
Since all providers of oil services are dependent on E&P companies' cash flow, reductions of spending plans have led to a substantial decrease in demand for oilfield services, including the accommodation support vessel segment. This has been particularly visible in the North Sea region where the activity level is significantly lower than recently experienced.
The accommodation support segment is late cyclical by nature. Historically, around three quarters of the work has been at producing fields, whereas close to a quarter has been related to hook-up and commissioning of new fields. Accommodation support vessels are also used during decommissioning of offshore installations.
As a result, opportunities do exist that could lead to new contracts being awarded over the coming year. These include certain prospects related to maintenance of existing platforms on the UK continental shelf and it is expected that there will be growth in future demand related to decommissioning of old platforms.
In Mexico, long-term demand continues to look promising. The cost of shallow water production in Mexico is fairly low and although the drop in the price of oil has caused some uncertainty, it is not expected to affect production volumes negatively. Accordingly, it is expected that
services to support the oil recovery rate, including accommodation support, continue to be needed.
In Brazil, accommodation support vessels are mostly used for safety and maintenance purposes on fields that are already producing. All the vessels currently servicing the Brazilian market operate in the Campos basin. In the longer term it is likely that there will also be demand from other areas. As a result, the outlook for further growth in Brazil is still positive, despite higher uncertainty resulting from the developments in the global oil market.
Outside the three core markets for semisubmersible accommodation vessels - the North Sea, Mexico and Brazil – Australia and US Gulf of Mexico are the most promising markets. Although in the past, demand in both these markets, has mostly been related to hook-up and commissioning of new platforms or larger redevelopments, in the longer term, there should be potential for growth related to maintenance and modification. [In the short-term, these markets are similarly negatively affected by the lower oil price and spending cuts].
The supply side is anticipated to more than double in size during the period from 2012 to 2016 with the entry into the market of a number of new semi-submersible vessels during the next couple of years. This increase is partly due to a possible under-supply situation historically and partly as a consequence of a positive underlying demand development over the past 10 years. The growth in number of units comprises vessels of a varying degree of quality, both in respect of technical specifications, owners' operating capabilities and financing structures.
Prosafe categorises its primary risks under the following headings: strategic, operational, financial and compliance related. The company's Board and senior officers manage these risk factors through continuous reporting, board
meetings, periodic reviews of the business and tenders, and rolling strategy and budget processes. This is supplemented by dialogue and exchange of views with the company's management.
The company aims to create shareholder value by allocating capital and resources to the business opportunities that yield the best return relative to the risk involved within its specified strategic direction.
Prosafe seeks to reduce its exposure to operational, financial and compliance related risk through proper operating routines, the use of financial instruments and insurance policies.
Further information on financial risk management is provided in note 20 to the consolidated financial statements.
An account of the main features of the company's internal control and risk management systems is available on Prosafe's website http://www. prosafe.com.
Robust HSE performance is fundamental to all of Prosafe's operations and is therefore reflected in
Robust HSE performance is fundamental to all of Prosafe's operations and is therefore reflected in the company's core values
the company's core values. As a consequence, the company works proactively and systematically to reduce injuries and sickness absence.
Prosafe operates a zero accident mind-set philosophy which means that no accidents or serious incidents are acceptable. Over the past years, the company has focused on preventive measures and a number of initiatives have been implemented in order to further strengthen the safety culture. Together with the introduction of new systems and procedures this has led to an improvement of the HSE results in recent years.
During 2014, Prosafe recorded three Lost Time Injury (LTI) (i.e. an incident that resulted in the employee being absent from the next work shift). This translates into an LTI frequency rate of 2.6 for 2014, compared to 0 in 2013. The LTI frequency is calculated by multiplying the number of LTIs by 1 million and dividing this by the total number of man-hours worked.
Sick leave decreased from 4.4 percent in 2013 to 3.0 per cent in 2014.
Prosafe had no accidental discharges to the natural environment in 2014 and continues to actively reduce emissions by investment in more modern and fuel efficient equipment and continuous improvement in operating procedures.
Prosafe's workforce consisted of 796 individuals at the end of 2014, compared to 595 in the previous year. Prosafe's global presence was reflected in the fact that its employees came from 29 countries around the world. The overall workforce turnover in the group was 8.0 per cent in 2014, as compared to 7.0 percent in 2013.
The company operates an equal opportunity policy including gender equality. Men have, however, traditionally made up a greater proportion of the recruitment base for offshore operations, and this is reflected in Prosafe's gender breakdown. As of 31 December 2014, women accounted for 12.9 per cent of the overall workforce, compared to 13.8 per cent in 2013. Onshore the proportion of women was 44.1 per cent, as opposed to 40.0 per cent in 2013.
Women constituted 14.6 per cent of the managers as at 31 December 2014, as opposed to 13.6 per cent at the end of 2013.
Prosafe aims to offer the same opportunities to all and there is no discrimination due to race, gender, nationality, culture or religion with respect to recruitment, remuneration or promotion.
Corporate governance in Prosafe is based on the principles contained in the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance of 30 October 2014. There are no significant deviations between the Code of Practice and the way it has been implemented in Prosafe. The company's full corporate governance report is set out on Prosafe's website http://www.prosafe.com.
By displaying robust corporate governance, the company aims to strengthen confidence in the company among shareholders, the capital market and other interested parties, and will help ensure maximum value creation over time in the best interest of shareholders, employees and other stakeholders.
At the Annual General Meeting on 28 May 2014, Ronny Langeland was elected as Chairman of the Board for a period of two years. Christian Brinch was re-elected as Director for a one-year period, and Nancy Ch. Erotocritou Charalambous and Tasos Ziziros were elected as new Directors for two years. Simultaneously, the period of appointment of Michael Raymond Parker and Christakis Pavlou as members of the Board expired.
As at 31 December 2014 the following Directors (including associated parties) held shares in Prosafe SE:
There have been no changes to the holdings after 31 December 2014.
Prosafe aims to be a socially responsible company and to further develop its business in a sustainable manner. In order to ensure long-term, viable development and profit, the company balances economic, environmental and social objectives and integrates them into its daily business activities and decisions.
Prosafe's objectives for corporate social responsibility are based on the company's strategy, core values, Code of Conduct and principles for corporate governance, in addition to international recognised principles and guidelines. In order to advance its commitment to sustainability and corporate citizenship, Prosafe signed up as a member of the United Nations Global Compact in October 2008.
Going forward, the company will continue to aim for continuous improvement of internal standards, the way it works with partners and suppliers, and to manage the impact of its operations.
The Board of Directors confirms their assumption of the Prosafe Group as a going concern. This assumption is based on the budgets for the year and the Group's long-term forecasts for the following years. The Board of Directors confirms that the annual accounts have been prepared based on this assumption.
The independent auditor of the company, Ernst & Young Cyprus Ltd., has expressed its willingness to continue as the company's auditor. Reference to auditors' fee is made in note 7 to the consolidated accounts.
According to the shareholder register as at 31 December 2014, the ten largest shareholders held a total of 53.3 per cent of the issued shares. The remaining shares were held by 4 325 investors. A nominee account in the name of State Street Bank was the largest shareholder with a holding of 19.9 per cent of the issued shares.
Prosafe carry out a survey every quarter attempting to identify the underlying owners of shares held at nominee accounts. This survey can be found at the web site: http://www.prosafe. com.
Prosafe has an issued share capital of 235 973 059 ordinary shares at a nominal value of EUR 0.25 each.
Further information is shown in note 15 to the consolidated financial statements.
In 2014, the company paid interim dividends of USD 125.8 million (USD 139.6 million), corresponding to NOK 3.29 per share (NOK 3.47). Prosafe's aim is that its shareholders receive a competitive return on their shares through a combination of share price appreciation and a direct return in the form of dividends.
The Board of Directors has re-affirmed the longterm dividend policy of paying out up to 75 per cent of the preceding year's net profit, adopted in 2011. The exact level of dividend to be paid in each period will depend on the supply/demand balance in the market, the investment level and the overall financial position of the Group. On the basis of a faster fleet growth, the Board of Directors will normally target a pay out ratio in the range of 40 to 60 per cent of the preceding year's net profit. In periods with exceptional conditions the pay-out ratio may be outside that range. In light of the current weak market outlook in the North Sea and the increase in overall supply, the Board of Directors shall focus on strengthening the balance sheet and securing strategic flexibility. Therefore, for the period until the end of 2016 the Board of Directors
is targeting quarterly dividend payments corresponding to an annual pay-out ratio in the range of 25 to 35 per cent of the preceding year's net profit. Typically, an interim dividend will be declared together with the release of the quarterly results.
At 31 December 2014, Prosafe SE had a distributable equity of USD 952.8 million. The parent company showed a net profit of USD 186.2 million for 2014, which the Board of Directors proposes to be allocated as follows (in USD million):
| Dividend | 0.0 million |
|---|---|
| Transferred to equity | 186.2 million |

Prosafe SE (the 'Company') is a public limited company domiciled in Larnaca, Cyprus. The registered office of the Company is Stadiou 126, 6020 Larnaca, Cyprus. The Company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the 'Group'). The consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the board of directors on 17 March 2015. The Group is the world's leading owner and operator of semi-submersible accommodation vessels.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) endorsed by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap 113. The accounts have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments which are stated at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are presented in US dollars (USD), and all values are presented in USD million unless otherwise stated. The accounting principles adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.
The following new and amended standards are relevant to the Group and have been adopted for the first time in these financial statements, with no material impact:
Standards and interpretations that are issued up to the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements, but not yet effective, are disclosed below. The Group's intention is to adopt the relevant new and amended standards and interpretations when they become effective, subject to EU approval before the consolidated financial statements are issued. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the following new standards that are not yet effective and are yet to quantify the potential impact.
• IFRS 9 will eventually replace IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. In order to expedite the replacement of IAS 39, the IASB divided the project into phases: classification and measurement, hedge accounting and impairment. New principles for impairment were published in July 2014 and the standard is now completed. The parts of IAS 39 that have not been amended as part of this project have been transferred into IFRS 9. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018. The Standard is not yet approved by the EU. Our preliminary view is that the adoption of IFRS 9 will not materially impact the income statement or financial position of the Company.
• IFRS 15 'Revenue from Contracts with Customers' is applicable to all entities and supersedes all existing revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. It applies to all transactions to provide goods and services except those in the scope of other standards. Either full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017. The Standard is not yet approved by the EU.
The Group does not currently believe adoption of the following new standards would have a material impact on the income statement or financial position of the Group.
IASBs annual improvements project 2010 – 2012 includes amendments to a number of standards:
Performance condition and service condition are defined in order to clarify various issues, including the following:
Contingent consideration in a business acquisition that is not classified as equity is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not it falls within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
Operating segments may be combined/aggregated if aggregation is consistent with the core principle of the standard, if the segments have similar economic characteristics and if they are similar in other qualitative respects. If they are combined, the entity must disclose the economic characteristics (e.g., sales and gross margins) used to assess whether the segments are 'similar'.
The IASB clarified that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be held at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial.
The amendment to IAS 16.35(a) and IAS 38.80(a) clarifies that revaluation can be performed, as follows: • Adjust the gross carrying amount of the asset to market value, or
• Determine the market value of the carrying amount and adjust the gross carrying amount proportionately so that the resulting carrying amount equals the market value
The IASB also clarified that accumulated depreciation/amortisation is the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset. The amendment to IAS 16.35(b) and IAS 38.80(b) clarifies that the accumulated depreciation/amortisation is eliminated so that the gross carrying amount and carrying amount equal the market value.
IASBs annual improvements project 2011 – 2013 includes amendments to a number of standards:
The amendment clarifies that:
The portfolio exception in IFRS 13 can be applied to financial assets, financial liabilities and other contracts.
IASBs annual improvements project 2012 – 2014 includes amendments to a number of standards:
Paragraphs 42A - H of IFRS 7 require an entity to provide disclosures for any continuing involvement in a transferred asset that is derecognised in its entirety. The Board was asked whether servicing contracts constitute continuing involvement for the purposes of applying these disclosure requirements. The amendments clarify that a servicing contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset.
JUDGMENTS. The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.
In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the consolidated financial statements.
Prosafe owns and operates a fleet of accommodation vessels. Based on an evaluation of the terms and conditions of the arrangements in the contracts, the Group has determined that it retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership of the vessels and therefore none of the contracts have been accounted for as a financial lease.
ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS. The estimates and assumptions are assessed on a continuous basis. The estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements relate to depreciation of fixed assets, impairment assessment of non-financial assets, share-based payments, taxes and fair value of financial instruments. Estimated useful life of the Group's semi-submersible accommodation vessels is 30 to 50 years dependent on the age at the time of acquisition and subsequent refurbishments. The management determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated, which requires management to estimate the future cash flow from the cashgenerating units and to apply a suitable discount rate. Further details are given in note 9. Estimating fair value for share-based payments requires determination of the most appropriate valuation model and the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the expected life of the share options, volatility and dividend yield.
When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the
discounted cash flows model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded.
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the parent company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses, unrealised gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.
A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it:
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL. Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and included in administrative expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.
Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit and loss.
After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group's cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.
Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash generating unit retained.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The presentation currency is USD. This is also the functional currency for the parent company. Transactions in other currencies than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary items in other currencies than the functional currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the currency difference is recognised in the profit and loss account. Non-monetary items in other currencies than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate at the transaction date. When consolidating companies with a functional currency other than the USD, profit and loss items are translated at the monthly average exchange rate, while balance sheet items are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation differences are taken to other comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the deferred cumulative amount recognised in other comprehensive income, relating to that particular operation, is recognised in the income statement.
SEGMENT REPORTING. For management and monitoring purposes, the Group is organised into one segment; chartering and operation of accommodation vessels. For geographical information, reference is made to note 4.
REVENUE RECOGNITION. Some of the Group's vessels operate on time charters, and others on bareboat charters. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to Prosafe and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received. Charter income is recognised on a straight line basis over the period the vessel has operated. Mobilisation and demobilisation fees are recognised in the period in which the mobilisation or demobilisation takes place. Prosafe does not transfer the risks or benefits of ownership of the asset to the customers and none of the contracts are accounted for as a financial lease. Management, crew services and other related income are recognised in the period the services are rendered. Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis. Interest income is included in financial items in the income statement. Dividends are recognised when Prosafe's right to receive the payment is established.
PROVISIONS are recognised when, and only when, the Group has a present obligation as a result of events that have taken place, and it can be proven probable that a financial settlement will take place as a result of this liability, and that the size of the amount can be measured reliably. Provisions are reviewed on each balance sheet date and their level reflects the best estimate of the liability.
When Prosafe expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.
TANGIBLE ASSETS are stated at acquisition cost less cumulative depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated economically useful lives, with account taken of their estimated residual value. The management makes annual assessments of residual value, methods of depreciation and the remaining economic life of the assets. Components of an asset which have an estimated shorter life than the main component of the asset are accordingly depreciated over this shorter period. Acquisition cost includes costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent expenditures are added to the book value of the asset or accounted for on a separate basis, when it is likely that future benefits would derive from the expenditures. The vessels are subject to a periodic survey every
five years, and associated costs are amortised over the five-year period to the next survey. Other repair and maintenance costs are expensed in the period they are incurred.
Expenditures for new builds are capitalised, including instalments paid to the yard, project management costs, and costs relating to the initial preparation, mobilisation and commissioning until the vessel is placed into service. In accordance with IAS 23, borrowing costs are capitalised on qualifying assets.
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lifetime as follows:
IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS. The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset's recoverable amount. An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or cash generating unit's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value indicators.
The Group bases its impairment calculation on a detailed forecast calculation which is prepared for the Group's cash generating unit. The forecast calculation is generally covering a period of five years. For longer periods, a long term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after the fifth year.
For non-financial assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, Prosafe estimates the asset's recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.
IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount, the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
INVENTORIES are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Prosafe determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.
Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable costs, with the exception of assets measured at fair value through profit and loss.
Prosafe's financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, financial derivatives and shares.
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets held for trading. This category also includes derivative instruments entered into that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39. Gains and losses on assets held for trading are recognised in the income statement. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future. This category also includes derivative instruments entered into that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with gains and losses recognised in the income statement.
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such financial assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement when the loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.
A financial asset is derecognised when:
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets are deemed to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliable estimated.
Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on the investment previously recognised in the income statement, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in the income statement.
Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, financial liabilities measured at amortised cost or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Prosafe determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition.
Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable costs.
Prosafe's financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank overdraft, loans and borrowings, financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss include financial liabilities held for trading. Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the near future. This category also includes derivative instruments entered into that do not meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39. Gains and losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in the income statement.
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.
When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.
The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet date. For financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm's length market transactions, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation models.
EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. Companies within the Group make contributions to pension schemes that are defined contribution plans. The companies' payments are recognised in the income statement for the year to which the contribution applies.
SHARE-BASED PLANS. The Group has an option plan for key personnel which provides a cash settlement if an option is exercised. The fair value of the options is expensed over the period until vesting with recognition of a corresponding liability which also includes social security tax where relevant. This liability is remeasured at each balance sheet date up to and including the settlement date with changes in fair value recognised in the income statement.
EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE. New information on the Group's positions at the balance sheet date is taken into account in the annual financial statements. Events after the balance sheet date that do not affect the position at the balance sheet date, but which will affect the position in the future, are stated if significant.
BORROWING COSTS. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection with the borrowing of funds.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. Prosafe uses derivative financial instruments such as forward currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks respectively. Such instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative.
Any gains and losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the year that do not qualify for hedge accounting and the ineffective portion of an effective hedge, are taken directly to the income statement.
The fair value of forward currency contracts is the discounted difference between the forward exchange rate and the contract price. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to market price for similar instruments.
At the inception of a hedge relationship, Prosafe formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the hedging instrument's effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows, and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.
Prosafe applies hedge accounting only for the interest rate swaps. Hedges which meet the strict criteria for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:
At the inception of a hedge relationship, the Group formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument's fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item's fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated. The effective portion of the gain and loss on the hedging instrument is recognised
directly in other comprehensive income, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement.
Amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to the income statement when the hedged transaction affects profit and loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense is recognised or when a forecast sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to the initial carrying amount of the non-financial assets or liability.
Derivative instruments that are not a designated and effective hedging instrument are classified as current or non-current or separated into a current and non-current portion based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances.
When Prosafe holds a derivative as an economic hedge for a period beyond 12 months after the balance sheet date or a derivative instrument is designated as an effective hedging instrument, the fair value of the derivative instrument is classified as current or non-current consistent with the classification of the underlying item. Economic hedges are not treated as hedging for accounting purposes.
TAXES in the income statement include taxes payable and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated on the basis of temporary differences between book and tax values that exist at the end of the period. Deferred tax asset is recognised in the balance sheet when it is likely that the tax benefit can be utilised. Deferred tax and deferred tax asset are measured at nominal value.
Income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered or paid to the taxation authorities.
Deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
CASH AND DEPOSITS comprise cash at banks and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
DIVIDENDS are accrued as a current liability once it has been approved by the general meeting or the board of directors.
SHAREHOLDER'S EQUITY. Any difference between the issue price of share capital and the nominal value is recognised as share premium. The costs incurred attributable to the issue of share capital are deducted from equity.
OWN SHARES. Own equity instruments which are reacquired are recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Group's own equity instruments.

The Company's bonus scheme embraces the executive management and the senior management teams. The bonus depends on achieving defined results relating to earnings, the attainment of strategic goals and HSE.
The corporate management and other key employees (in total 12 persons) are included in a synthetic share option programme. The outstanding options were granted in 2011. When a synthetic option is exercised, the option holder is paid a cash consideration corresponding to the difference between the share price at the exercise date adjusted for any dividends paid during the period, and the share price at grant. All synthetic options are capped at two times strike price. Net proceeds after tax shall be used to purchase shares in the Company at market price. This plan has no dilution effect, since the shares will be purchased in the market. The options are valued by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The right to exercise is subject to the employee being employed during the vesting period.

Certain members of the corporate management have agreements on severance pay. Under these agreements, the Company guarantees a remuneration corresponding to the base salary received at the time of departure for a period of up to two years after the normal six-month period of notice. With the exception of the agreement with the CEO, these agreements specify that benefits received from new employers are deducted from the remuneration due, unless the person concerned left as a result of an acquisition, sale or merger. The CEO has an agreement on early retirement pension after the age of 60 and until the age of 67. With full earning of pension entitlement, the annual early retirement pension will equal 24 times the Norwegian national insurance base rate.
In accordance with the code of practice for corporate governance recommended by the Oslo Stock Exchange, remuneration for the corporate management and the board of directors is specified below.

New builds include prepayment of 20 % of the yard cost for the four new builds, owner-furnished equipment and other project costs incurred. For details, reference is made to note 24.
Tangible fixed assets and goodwill are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. These assets are depreciated on a straight line basis. The costs of upgrades and modification of vessels are capitalised, and each vessel is accounted for as a single asset.
Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the asset in accordance with revised IAS 23. As at 31 December 2014, capitalised borrowing costs amount to USD 15.8 million (31 December 2013: USD 8.1 million).
Estimated useful life for the semi-submersible accommodation vessels is 30-50 years. Certain equipment on a vessel is depreciated over a shorter period than the life of the vessel itself. The estimated scrap value is USD 3 million per vessel. This estimate is based on steel prices and is reviewed on an annual basis.
Management performed an annual impairment assessment of the fixed assets in line with IFRS. Management looked at each individual vessel as a cash generating unit, and concluded that no impairment indicators exist as per year-end.
The goodwill of USD 226.7 million relates to the acquisition of Consafe Offshore AB in 2006. Prosafe has only one reporting segment comprising of all accommodation vessels which the goodwill has been allocated to. The recoverable amount has been identified by calculating the value in use. The calculation is based on the present value of the estimated cash flow. The discount rates applied reflect management's estimate of the risks specific to each unit. The present value of this cash flow exceeds the carrying value, and no need for a write-down is indicated.
The present value of the estimated cash flows from the cash-generating unit, is based on the following inputs:
Sensitivity: a 1% increase in the pre-tax discount rate or a reasonable change in other assumptions would still give a present value of the cash flow well in excess of the carrying value.

The cumulated tax loss carried forward in Cyprus as at 31 December 2014 and 2013 amounts to USD 63.1 million and USD 37.4 million respectively. The tax rate in Cyprus is 12.5%. No deferred tax asset is recognised in respect of this tax loss carried forward. The tax loss for each year may be carried forward for five years.
The majority of the Group's vessels are subject to taxation based on the special rules for taxation of shipping and offshore companies in Singapore. Profit from these charters is not taxable to Singapore, but the company pays tax deducted at source in some of the countries in which it operates.
The deferred tax liability related to the enforced departure of the vessel business from the Norwegian tonnage tax system effective 1 January 2006, was initially calculated to NOK 780 million equivalent to USD 115 million applying the exchange rate prevailing on this date. This liability is paid at a rate of 20 per cent annually on the outstanding balance. The tax rate in Norway is currently 27%.
Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. There are no dilutive share options.

The management assessed the cash and deposits, accounts receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and other current liabilities to approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial institutions with investments grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate and forward rate curves. All derivative contracts are fully cash collateralised.
The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:
The currency forwards and interest swaps are valued based on current exchange rates and forward curves.

Prosafe operates on a global basis with cash flows and financing in various currencies. This means that the Group is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. Prosafe's functional currency is USD, and financial risk exposure is managed with financial instruments.
Prosafe is exposed to currencies other than USD associated with operating expenditure, capital expenditure, debt financing, tax liabilities and cash and deposits. Operating expenses are mainly denominated in GBP and NOK, but depending on the country of operation and the nationality of the crew, operating expenses can also be in EUR, USD and BRL. Capital expenditure in terms of general maintenance will typically be denominated in GBP and NOK. Value enhancing investments, such as upgrades and/or refurbishment programmes, will, depending on the origin of equipment and the location of the yard, tend to be in USD, GBP and EUR. Debt financing consists of both USD and NOK denominated liabilities, while tax liabilities predominantly consist of a NOK denominated deferred tax associated with the exit from the Norwegian tonnage tax system effective 1 January 2006. Cash and deposits are mainly denominated in USD, GBP, EUR and NOK.
Operating expenditure and maintenance related capital expenditure in other currencies than USD is typically currency-hedged using forward contracts with a time horizon of 9-12 months, while planned value enhancing capital expenditure is hedged independent of time horizon. Interest payments related to debt financing in other currencies than USD are typically treated the same way, with a time horizon of 9-12 months, while downpayments are hedged independent of time horizon. Payable tax related to the deferred tax liability is also currency-hedged with a time horizon of 9-12 months. Cash and deposits in currencies other than USD, function as natural hedges for any GBP, EUR and NOK liabilities.
As of 31 December 2014, Prosafe had entered into the following forward exchange contracts:
Fair value of forward exchange contracts are estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value estimates the gain or loss that would have been realised if the contracts had been closed out at the balance sheet date. As of 31 December 2014, the fair value and maximum credit risk exposure of forward exchange contracts was USD 87.9 million negative.
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the relevant exchange rates and reflects the main effects on profit or loss and equity assuming that the change had occurred at the balance sheet date. A 10% strengthening/weakening of the USD against NOK and GBP will have the following effects. Exposures to foreign currency changes for all other currencies are not material.

As of 31 December 2014, Prosafe's interest-bearing debt totalled USD 830.1 million. Loans secured by mortgages (credit facility) accounted for USD 440.0 million of this total and unsecured bond loans accounted for USD 390.1 million.
Interest on debt is in principle floating, but has been hedged to reduce the variability of cash flows in the interest payments through the use of interest rate swap agreements. Prosafe evaluates the hedge profile in relation to the repayment schedule of its loans, the company's portfolio of contracts, cash flow and cash in hand. The proportion hedged will normally lie between 75 and 100 per cent for all loan terms.
The objective of the interest rate hedging is to reduce the variability of cash flows in the interest payments for the floating-rate debt (i.e. cash flow hedging). Changes in the cash flows of the interest rate swaps are expected to offset the changes in cash flows (i.e. changes in interest payments) attributable to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate on the part of the floating-rate debt that is hedged. At the inception of the hedge and in subsequent periods, expected effectiveness during the subsequent quarter is demonstrated based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap designated as the hedging instrument and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap (dollar offset). If the terms of the swap and debt differ (notional amount, interest rate reset dates, maturity/expiration date, underlying index) or the counterparty's ability to honour its obligation under the swap change during the life of the hedge, the measurement of hedge ineffectiveness will be based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap designated as the hedging instrument and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap (dollar offset). Changes in fair value for interest swaps treated as effective hedges (hedge accounting) will affect other comprehensive income, while interest swaps not treated as effective hedges (not hedge accounting) will affect equity through the income statement. Interest swaps treated as effective hedges have been highly effective, and no ineffectiveness has been recognised in the income statement.
As of 31 December 2014, Prosafe's hedging agreements totalled USD 1 800 million (including USD 750 million with forward start):

Fair value of interest rate swap agreements are estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value estimates the gain or loss that would have been realised if the contracts had been closed out at the balance sheet date. As of 31 December 2014, the fair value and maximum credit risk exposure of interest rate swap agreements was USD 39 million negative.
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the relevant forward curves and reflects the main effects on profit or loss and equity assuming that the change had occurred at the balance sheet date. A forward curve shift of ±100bps is applied in the analysis.

The Gulf of Mexico contracts contain a cancellation clause allowing the ultimate customer, Pemex, to cancel the agreement with 30 days notice without compensation, if the Mexican authorities annul financing of the project. These clauses reflect the crisis that Mexico saw during the 1980s. Prosafe takes the view that a cancellation on this basis is only likely if the Mexican economy suffers another deep and lengthy crisis. Prosafe does not regard this as a realistic scenario, given the high present and planned levels of activity in the Gulf of Mexico, and the importance of oil production to Mexico's economic development.
In line with industry practice, other contracts normally contain clauses which give the customer an opportunity for early cancellation under specified conditions. Providing Prosafe has not acted negligently, however, the effect on results in such cases will normally be wholly or partly offset by a financial settlement in the company's favour. Following a potential notice of convenience termination, the customer will have to pay Prosafe a substantial part of the remaining contract value.
Credit assessment of yards, sub-contractors and equipment suppliers is part of Prosafe's project evaluations and risk analyses.
The counterparty risk is in general limited when it comes to Prosafe's clients, since these are typically major oil companies and national oil companies with strong balance sheets and high credit ratings.
As of 31 December 2014, there is no objective evidence that accounts receivable is impaired, and no impairment loss has been recognised in the income statement.
Under the existing credit facility agreements, the Group is required to maintain a minimum liquidity reserve of USD 65 million (including up to USD 25 million of total commitments available for utilisation). Prosafe makes active use of a system for planning and forecasting the development of its liquidity, and utilises scenario analyses to secure stable and sound development.
As of 31 December 2014, the Group's main financial liabilities had the following remaining contractual maturities:

The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to ensure that it maintains a healthy capital structure in line with economic conditions. Prosafe manages the total of shareholder's equity and long term debt as their capital. Prosafe's main tool to assess its capital structure is the leverage ratio, which is calculated by dividing total interest-bearing debt (excluding debt related to newbuilds) including bank guarantees, by EBITDA over the last 12 months. To stay in compliance with financial covenants, the leverage ratio is not allowed to exceed 4.5. At 31 December 2014 (2013), the leverage ratio was 1.7 (1.7).

On 14 December 2011, Prosafe announced that the company has entered into a turnkey contract for the construction of a semi-submersible accommodation vessel at Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. in Singapore. The vessel, Safe Boreas, was delivered from the yard in January 2015 and is currently in transit to Norway, where it will commence a six-month contract with Lundin for support in connection with the hook-up and commissioning of the Edvard Grieg platform in late April or early May 2015. 20 per cent of the yard cost was paid at signing of the contract and is included within tangible assets (note 9), while the remaining 80 per cent was paid in January 2015.
On 19 November 2012, Prosafe announced that the company has entered into a turnkey contract for the construction of a second semi-submersible accommodation vessel at Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. in Singapore. The vessel, Safe Zephyrus, will be ready for operation in 2015. 20 per cent of the yard cost was paid at signing of the contract and is included within tangible assets (note 9), while the remaining 80 per cent will be paid at delivery.
On 22 November 2013, Prosafe announced that the company has entered into a turnkey contract for the construction of two semi-submersible accommodation vessels with COSCO (Qidong) Offshore Co., Ltd. in China. The vessels are scheduled for operation in 2016. 20 per cent of the yard cost was paid at signing of the contract and is included within tangible assets (note 9), while the remaining 80 per cent will be paid at delivery.
Safe Bristolia sustained damage to lifeboats after experiencing bad weather during work at the Everest field in UK in early October 2014. Operations were suspended, and the vessel was brought to a shipyard in Norway to carry out repair work. A provision of USD 7.5 million has been made in the fourth quarter accounts to cover extra-ordinary expenses related to the Safe Bristolia incident.
In February 2015, the company secured a new credit facility for the refinancing of the existing USD 1 100 million and USD 420 million credit facilities. The credit facility, which has a maturity of seven years, consists of two term loan tranches of USD 800 million (drawn on closing) and USD 200 million (drawn on delivery of the Safe Zephyrus) and a revolver loan tranche of USD 300 million. The availability under the term loan tranches is reduced semi-annually, starting 6 months after delivery of the tranche security, with an amount that reduces the term loan commitments to zero by the final maturity. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is 1.90 per cent above 3-month LIBOR for the first five years and 2.15 per cent above 3-month LIBOR thereafter.
Financial covenants:
Liquidity: Minimum USD 65 million (including up to USD 25 million of total commitments available for utilisation)
Leverage ratio: Net debt/EBITDA must not exceed 5.0 (4.5 after 3rd anniversary)
Value adjusted equity ratio: Minimum 35 per cent
Collateral maintenance: Market value vessels/total outstanding loans above 150 per cent
The new build, Safe Boreas, was delivered from Jurong Shipyard in Singapore in January 2015. The vessel is scheduled to commence a six-month contract with Lundin for support in connection with the hook-up and commissioning of the Edvard Grieg platform in late April or early May.

In February 2015, the company secured a new credit facility for the refinancing of the existing USD 1 100 million and USD 420 million credit facilities. The credit facility, which has a maturity of seven years, consists of two term loan tranches of USD 800 million (drawn on closing) and USD 200 million (drawn on delivery of the Safe Zephyrus) and a revolver loan tranche of USD 300 million. The availability under the term loan tranches is reduced semi-annually, starting 6 months after delivery of the tranche security, with an amount that reduces the term loan commitments to zero by the final maturity. The annual interest rate on the credit facility is 1.90 per cent above 3-month LIBOR for the first five years and 2.15 per cent above 3-month LIBOR thereafter.
Financial covenants:
Liquidity: Minimum USD 65 million (including up to USD 25 million of total commitments available for utilisation)
Leverage ratio: Net debt/EBITDA must not exceed 5.0 (4.5 after 3rd anniversary)
Value adjusted equity ratio: Minimum 35 per cent
Collateral maintenance: Market value vessels/total outstanding loans above 150 per cent.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Prosafe SE and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), and the separate financial statements of Prosafe SE ("the Company"), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position and the statement of financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2014, and the consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows, and the statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows of the Company for the year then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements of the Company that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated and separate financial statements of the Company based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those Standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Board of Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated and separate financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group and the Company as at 31 December 2014, and of their financial performance and their cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113.
Pursuant to the additional requirements of the Auditors and Statutory Audits of Annual and Consolidated Accounts Laws of 2009 and 2013, we report the following:
This report, including the opinion, has been prepared for and only for the Company's members as a body in accordance with Section 34 of the Auditors and Statutory Audits of Annual and Consolidated Accounts Laws of 2009 and 2013 and for no other purpose. We do not, in giving this opinion, accept or assume responsibility for any other purpose or to any other person to whose knowledge this report may come to.
