Second Quarter 2010

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENT

QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Operating result before depreciation of USD 59.7 million
  • Robust operational performance
  • Board advises shareholders to reject BW Offshore's voluntary offer

Main figures

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

Operating revenues for the second quarter of 2010 amounted to USD 106.5 million (USD 80.5 million).

Operating profit before depreciation was USD 59.7 million (USD 48.1 million) for the quarter. The main reasons for the growth are FPSO Cidade de São Mateus which started contributing during second quarter 2009 and FPSO Ningaloo Vision, which has been on dayrate since the beginning of January 2010 and as such has contributed fully for second quarter 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 23.7 million (USD 28.5 million).

Interest expenses amounted to USD 11.7 million (USD 11.1 million) for the quarter. Other financial items amounted to USD -0.5 million (USD -0.7 million).

The tax cost equalled USD 5.9 million (USD 3.7 million), of which changes in deferred tax, mainly relating to the Australian operations, amounted to USD 2.9 million.

The net result from continued business for the quarter was USD 5.7 million (USD 13.1 million).

As a result of the Letter of Intent with National Oilwell Varco, the turret and swivel business is 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 -1.3 million (USD -0.9 million).

Total net profit for the quarter amounted to USD 4.4 million (USD 12.2 million).

The operating profit before depreciation for the six months ended 30 June 2010 amounted to USD 116.7 million (USD 85.2 million), while the net result was USD 16.5 million (USD 18.5 million).

Total assets amounted to USD 2,033 million (USD 2,083 million) as of 30 June 2010. The reduction in book value is mainly attributable to impairment charge booked in fourth quarter of 2009 as well as depreciation over the period. Equity amounted to USD 808 million (USD 848 million), resulting in a book equity ratio of 40% (41%). 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 995 million (USD 1,011 million).

Voluntary offer from BW Offshore

On 21 June BW Offshore announced that it intended to present a voluntary offer for the outstanding shares of Prosafe Production by the week starting on 12 July. The offer was not formally put forward until 27 July through the publication of an offer document. The higher of two offer prices is conditional upon completion of the sale of the turret and swivel business. As it is unlikely that closing of the sale will take place as

CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL REPORT 2nd QUARTER 2010


Second Quarter 2010

long as the offer stands, the relevant offer price is to be regarded as 1.2 BWO share plus NOK 2.0 in cash per PROD share. The Board has unanimously decided to advise the shareholders of Prosafe Production not to accept the offer, as it is not deemed to reflect the underlying values of the company.

The Board continues to evaluate the Company's strategic and financial options in order to maximize value for all shareholders of the Company, including actively pursuing alternative bidders to present an alternative offer for the shares of Prosafe Production.

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 plus a deferred element related to third party sales of the disposed business.

As a consequence of BW Offshore's announced voluntary offer to acquire all outstanding shares in Prosafe Production, National Oilwell Varco requested an extension of the Letter of Intent until after the announced offer has been concluded and the future ownership structure of Prosafe Production clarified. After careful evaluation, Prosafe Production announced 30 June 2010, that it had decided to grant such an extension, still with the intention to close a transaction during the third quarter.

Operations

Including some planned shutdowns all units operated as normal in the quarter and the combined uptime was 98.9 per cent (98.4 per cent).

Outlook

With the oil price stabilising around USD 70-80 per barrel oil companies' spending on exploration and production should continue to be at a high level. Deep waters, remote areas and marginal fields, which are all areas where the FPSO concept is well suited, will account for an increasing part of this spending. Adding on the high number of development prospects already in the pipeline, this bodes well for the demand for FPSOs over the coming years.

There have been substantial changes to the supply side of the FPSO industry over the last few years, as a number of contractors have withdrawn from the market for different reasons. While 20-30 companies bid actively for contracts in 2006/07, there currently are around ten players likely to seek new projects in the near term. As such, the combined execution capacity of the industry has been significantly reduced and competition seems to have eased.

The combination of a less complex competitive landscape and a positive demand picture should lead to an improved risk/reward profile in the FPSO industry.
