NOTES

NOTE 1 – BASIS FOR PREPARATION

The Company's condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as approved by the EU and requirements in the Norwegian Securities Trading Act. This condensed interim financial statement for the first quarter is adopted by the Board of Directors on 27 May 2014.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those presented in the Annual Report of 2013. Available for sale financial assets are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are booked as other comprehensive income provided that no impairment is present.

Foreign currency

The financial statements are presented in NOK. NOK is also the functional currency for all the companies in the Group as of 1 January 2013.

NOTE 2 – OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Group is investing in financial instruments traded in active markets. These are further described in note 4.

For management purposes, the Company's business is not organized into separate operating segments and hence only has one reportable operating segment which is in line with the consolidated figures presented in this report. Group financing is also monitored on a Group basis.

NOTE 3 – SAGA AGNES CLAIM SUMMARY

As informed in the annual report for 2013, the Charterers of Saga Agnes AS has presented the Group with a claim of about USD 2 million related to the time charterparty for the vessel "Saga Agnes". The matter will most likely be resolved through arbitration. The Group has made no provisions for this claim as it is considered to be unsubstantiated.

70 458 99 731
Total 70 458 99 731

The entire change in available-for-sale financial assets during the quarter relates to financial instruments that fall within the level 1 category of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy is described below.

Fair value hierarchy

The group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial instruments by valuation technique:

  • Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly.
  • Level 3: techniques that use inputs that have a significant effect on the recorded fair value that are not based on observable market data, for example discounted cash flow technique.

The financial assets are denominated in NOK and are measured at fair value. Listed shares are valued at values quoted in active markets as of 31.03.2014. Impairment of financial assets has been recognized trough the income statement.
