First Quarter 2010

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENT

QUARTER ENDED 31 MARCH 2010

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Operating result before depreciation of USD 57.0 million
  • All units in operation - FPSO Ningaloo Vision on dayrate from early January
  • Letter of Intent to sell turret and swivel business

Main figures – Q1 2010

(Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding period of 2009)

Operating revenues for the first quarter of 2010 amounted to USD 105.3 million (USD 60.6 million).

Operating profit before depreciation was USD 57.0 million (USD 37.1 million) for the quarter. The main reasons for the increase are FPSO Cidade de São Mateus which started contributing from second quarter 2009 and FPSO Ningaloo Vision, which has been on dayrate since the beginning of January 2010. This has been partly offset by the scheduled decline in the dayrate for FPSO Umuroa.

Operating result for the quarter came in at USD 24.4 million (USD 23.4 million).

Interest expenses amounted to USD 11.2 million (USD 11.4 million) for the quarter. Other financial items amounted to USD -0.8 million (USD -2.5 million). The difference compared to the same period last year is mainly an effect of changes in foreign exchange rates.

The tax cost equalled USD 1.6 million (USD 4.3 million). The reduction is amongst other a result of lower taxable income for FPSO Umuroa in New Zealand.

The net result from continued business for the quarter was USD 10.8 million (USD 5.5 million).

As a result of the Letter of Intent with National Oilwell Varco, the turret and swivel business has been classified as a disposal group held for sale and a discontinued business. The turret

and swivel business has not earlier been classified as a separate business as no external sales have been conducted. The net result from discontinued business for the quarter was USD -0.8 million (USD -0.4 million).

Total net profit for the quarter amounted to USD 10.0 million (USD 5.1 million).

Total assets amounted to USD 2,083 million (USD 2,019 million) as of 31 March 2010. The increase compared to last year is attributable to investments made in the new vessels. Equity amounted to USD 817 million (USD 814 million), resulting in a book equity ratio of 39% (40%). As a consequence of the Letter of Intent to sell the turret and swivel business, USD 62.8 million has been classified as assets held for sale. Most of this relates to goodwill.

Net interest-bearing debt amounted to USD 1,012 million (USD 942 million).

Lol to sell turret and swivel business

In March Prosafe Production entered into a Letter of Intent with National Oilwell Varco (NOV) to sell the turret and swivel business for USD 165 million. In addition there will be a deferred payment corresponding to 10% of the sold business' third-party sales for a period of seven years.

In connection with the transaction, Prosafe Production will enter into a seven-year supply agreement with NOV, which secures access to turret and swivel solutions at competitive terms.

Closing of the transaction, which is expected to take place in the second quarter, is amongst other subject to completion of a customary due

diligence, as well as approval by both companies' board of directors.

Operations

All contracted units operated as normal in the quarter and the combined uptime was 99.6 per cent (99.7 per cent).

FPSO Ningaloo Vision commenced operations in the first quarter. The vessel started to generate dayrate early January, when it arrived at the field in Australia. The charter contract commenced early February.

FSO Endeavor commenced the 12-month contract extension on the PY-3 field in India on 24 January.

Outlook

The long-term outlook for the FPSO industry remains positive. The FPSO is a unique and flexible development concept compared to most alternatives. The vessels can operate independently of pipeline infrastructure and adjacent refinery capacity, meaning they are well suited for deepwater fields and fields in remote areas. Moreover, it is a cost efficient concept that can be reused on different fields, which makes it a competitive solution on

marginal developments. Given the trend of increasing production at deep waters, in remote areas and on marginal fields, the demand for FPSOs is set to grow steadily in the long-term.

Compared to the historical trend, the FPSO industry has been through a fairly quiet couple of years in terms of contract awards. However, over the past six to nine months there have been clear signs of improvement. The oil price has stabilised on a higher level and the number of projects approaching tendering phase is increasing. As such, demand should pick up steadily and the number of tenders should increase towards the end of 2010 and into 2011. Furthermore, capacity on the supply side is gradually filling up, with a few recent major contract awards and with further awards in the pipeline. Consequently, there should be prospects for higher returns going forward.

Prosafe Production has currently no bids outstanding as it has been deemed difficult to achieve satisfactory returns within an acceptable risk frame. However, given the possibilities for increased returns going forward, it is likely that the company starts tendering for suitable projects in the latter part of the year.
