1 KORT OM FUSJONEN OG BEGRUNNELSEN FOR DEN

1.1 Bakgrunn

DESSC eier og drifter en flåte bestående av 37 skip som yter tjenester innen ulike deler av offshorevirksomheten. Flåten er fordelt mellom 25 plattformsupply-skip ( PSV) og I 2 ankerhåndteringsskip (AHTS). DESSC er notert på Oslo Børs under ticker "DESSC'. DESSC-konsernet har i dag færre enn 500 ansatte på sjø og land. I tillegg har DESSC gjennom sitt 50 % eide datterselskap DESS Aquaculture Shipping AS bestilt 2brønnbàter og 1 slaktebåt som skal benyttes in nen fiskeoppdrettsnæringen. DESS Aquaculture Shipping AS eies 50/50 av DESSC og Marine Harvest ASA.

Solship Sub er et nystiftet heleiet datterselskap av Solship lnvest 3 AS ("Solship lnvest 3"), som igjen er et nystiftet heleiet datterselskap av Solstad Offshore ASA ('SOFF"). SOFF opererer innenfor samme virksomhetsområde som DESSC, og eier og drifter 26 CSV-er (inkl 1 Denick Lay Barge (DLB)), 16 AHTS-er og 19 PSV-er. SOFF er notert på Oslo Børs under ticker "SOFF". SOFF-konsernet har i dag ca. 1500 sysselsatte på sjø og land.

I de siste to årene har markedet for offshoreserviceskip svekket seg vesentlig som følge av fallet i oljeprisen. Forventningene til aktivitetsnivået i næringen i de kommende år er preget av stor usikkerhet. Spesielt er lete- og utbyggingsaktiviteten i olje- og gassektoren vesentlig redusert. Særlig markedet for PSV-er og AHTS-er preges av overkapasitet. Partenes virksomhet er sterkt påvirket av det svekkede markedet og den markedsusikkerheten som råder.

SOFF gjennomførte i 2016 en større kapitalutvidelse (aksjekapital og konvertibelt lån) og en omfattende refinansiering som har bidratt til at selskapet har fått

BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE FOR THE MERGER

1.1 Background

DESSC owns and operates a fleet of 37 vessels providing services in various parts of the offshore industry. The fleet consists of 25 platform supply vessels (PSV) and 12 anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTS). DESSC is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker "DESSC". The DESSC group currently has less than 500 employees both offshore and onshore. ln addition, DESSC has through its 50% owned subsidiary DESS Aquacuture Shipping AS ordered two fish carries and one harvest vessel to be used within the fish farming industry. DESS Aquaculture Shipping AS is owned 50/50 by DESSC and Marine Harvest ASA.

Solship Sub is a recently incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of Solship lnvest 3 AS ("Solship Invest 3"), which again is a recently incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of Solstad Offshore ASA ('SOFF"). SOFF operates in the same business area as DESSC and owns and operates 26 CSVs (incl. 1 Derrick Lay Barge (DLB)), 16 AHTSs and 19 PSVs. SOFF is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker "SOFF". The SOFF group currently has approx. 1,500 employees both offshore and onshore.

During the last two years, the conditions in the market for offshore service vessels have deteriorated due to the fallin oil prices. The expectations of the levelof activity in the industry in the near future are characterised by great uncertainty. The exploration and developing activity in the oil and gas industry specifically has been significantly reduced. ln particular, the market for PSVs and AHTSs has experienced a surplus in capacity. The Parties' operations have been severely affected by the downturn and uncertainty in the market.

ln 2016, SOFF carried out a large capital increase (share capital and convertible loans) as well as an extensive refinancing that has strengthened the

styrket sin balanse og likviditet. I etterkant av denne refinansieringen gjennomførte SOFF en fusjon med Rem Offshore ASA. Gjennom en såkalt trekantfusjon ble Rem Offshore ASA innfusjonert i SOFF sitt heleide datterselskap Solship lnvest 1 AS og aksjeeierne i Rem Offshore ASA mottok vederlagsaksjer i SOFF. I forbindelse med gjennomføringen av fusjonen ble det også opprettet en egen aksjeklasse i SOFF, B-aksjer, med begrenset stemmereft. B-aksjene ble notert på Oslo Børs i desember 2016.

DESSC gjennomførte i september 2016 enkelte endringer i sine låneavtaler, herunder endringer i finansielle covenants og nedbetalingsplan. Disse endringene er p.t. gyldige frem til 31. mars 2018. DESSC arbeider imidlertid med refinansiering av de fleste av sine låneavtaler som blant annet innebærer utsatt forfallstid og reduksjon i nedbetalingsplaner.

Farstad Shipping ASA ("FAR"), Aker Capital AS ("Aker"), Hemen Holding Limited ("Hemen"), FARs største långivere ("Långiverne"), en vesentlig del av FARs obligasjonseiere ("Obligasjonse¡erne"), samt F-Shiplease AS, signerte den 5. februar 2017 en omfattende og fullt ut finansiert restruktureringsavtale ("Restruktureringsavtalen") av FAR og flere av dets datterselskaper ("FAR Restruktureringen"). FAR Restruktureringen ble gjennomført den 9. mars 2017. Aker, Hemen, Långiverne og Obligasjonseieme, samt SOFF lnvest AS, lvan ll AS (i fellesskap "Solstad Familien"), Tyrholm & Farstad AS, Tyrholm & Farstad lnvest AS, Sverre A. Farstad og Jan H. Farstad (i fellesskap "Farstad Familien"), avtalte også å arbeide for en fusjon mellom SOFF, FAR og DESSC efter gjennomføringen av FAR Restruktureringen ("Sammenslåingen").

Styrene ¡ SOFF, FAR og DESSC er av den oppfatning at det er nødvendig å gjennomføre en konsolidering i bransjen. I etterkant av inngåelsen av Restruktureringsavtalen har sÇrene i de nevnte selskaper derfor diskutert mulighetene for en fusjon

company's balance sheet and liquidity. Following this refinancing, SOFF carried out a merger with Rem Offshore ASA. Through what is known as a triangular merger, Rem Offshore ASA was merged into SOFF's wholly owned subsidiary Solship lnvest 1 AS and the shareholders of Rem Offshore ASA received consideration shares in SOFF. ln connection with the completion of the merger, class B shares with limited voting rights were established in SOFF. The class B shares were listed on Oslo Stock Exchange in December 2016.

During September2016, DESSC made some alterations to its loan agreements, including financial covenants and downpayment schedules. These alterations are at present valid through 31 March 2018. However, DESSC is working on refinancing most of its loan agreements, which, among other things, involves an extension of maturity dates and reduced amortisation.

On 5 February 2017, Farstad Shipping ASA (.FAR"), Aker Capital AS ("Aker"), Hemen Holding Limited ("Hemen"), FAR's biggest lenders (the "Lenders"), a material part of FAR's bondholders (the "Bondholders"), as well as F-Shiplease AS, signed an extensive and fully financed restructuring agreement (the "Restructuring Agreement") for FAR and several of its subsidiary companies (the "FAR Restructuring"). The FAR Restructuring was completed on 9 March 2017. Aker, Hemen, the Lenders and the Bondholders as well as SOFF lnvest AS and lvan ll AS (jointly refened to as the "Solstad Family'') and Tyrholm & Farstad AS, Tyrholm & Farstad lnvest AS, Sverre A. Farstad and Jan H Farstad (jointly referred to as the "Farstad Family") also agreed to work to achieve a merger between SOFF, FAR and DESSC after the completion of the FAR Restructuring (the "Combination").

The boards of directors of SOFF, FAR and DESSC are of the opinion that a consolidation of the industry is required. After entering into the Restructuring Agreement, the boards of directors of the abovementioned companies have discussed the possibilities

mellom de tre selskapene og kommet til at en slik fusjon vil være fordelaktig for alle selskapene.

Gjennom Sammenslåingen vil man etablere et verdensledende OSV selskap, med en samlet flåte på 154 skip. Det fusjonerte konsernet vil operere en flåte bestående av 33 CSV, 66 PSV og 55 AHTS skip.

Formelt sett vil Sammenslåingen skje gjennom tre ulike fusjoner som er innbyrdes avhengig av hverandre:

  • En grenseoverskridende (europeisk) fusjon mellom DESSC og Solship Sub, et heleiet datterselskap av Solship lnvest 3 ("DESSC Fusjon l"),
    1. En umiddelbart etterfølgende trekantfusjon mellom Solship Sub og Solship lnvest 3 (et heleiet datterselskap av SOFF) med oppgjør i aksjer i SOFF ('DESSG Fusjon ll') (DESSC Fusjon I og DESSC Fusjon ll er til sammen benevnt "Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen"), og
    1. En fusjon mellom FAR og Solship lnvest 2 AS med oppgjør i aksjer i SOFF ("Farstad Fusjonen").

Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen er regulert gjennom denne Fusjonsplanen og en egen fusjonsplan for DESSC Fusjon ll mellom Solship Sub, Solship lnvest 3 og SOFF, mens Farstad Fusjonen reguleres i en egen fusjonsplan mellom de involverte selskapene i Farstad Fusjonen. De ovennevnte fusjonene vil være gjensidig avhengig av hverandre slik at DESSC Fusjon I og DESSC Fusjon ll kun gjennomføres dersom Farstad Fusjonen gjennomføres parallelt.

Partene mener at Sammenslåingen vil bidra til positiv industriell løsning som vil være en styrke i forhold til om selskapene hver for seg skulle klare seg gjennom den svake perioden man nå opplever innen markedet for offshoreservice-skip. Det sammenslåtte konsernet vil fremstå som en betydelig sterkere enhet og være i en

of a merger of the three companies and have concluded that such a merger will be advantageous for all the companies.

The Combination will result in the establishment of a world-leading OSV company, with a fleet of a total of 154 vessels. The merged group will operate a fleet consisting of 33 CSV, 66 PSV and 55 AHTS vessels.

Formally, the Combination will be completed through three separate mergers that are mutually dependent on each other:

    1. A cross-border (European) merger between DESSC and Solship Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Solship lnvest 3 ('DESSC Merger ¡"),
  • 2 An immediately subsequent triangular merger of Solship Sub and Solship lnvest 3 (a wholly owned subsidiary of SOFF) with settlement in shares in SOFF ("DESSC Merger ll")(DESSC Merger I and DESSC Merger ll are jointly referred to as the "Deep Sea Supply Merger"), and
    1. A merger of FAR and Solship lnvest 2 AS with settlement in SOFF shares (the "Farstad Merger").

The Deep Sea Supply Merger is governed by this Merger Plan and a separate merger plan for the DESSC Merger ll between Solship Sub, Solship lnvest 3 and SOFF, while the Farstad Merger is governed by a separate merger plan between the companies involved in the Farstad Merger. The above-mentioned mergers will be mutually dependent on each other, so that the DESSC Merger I and the DESSC Merger ll may only be carried out if the Farstad Merger is carried out in parallel.

The Parties are of the opinion that the Combination will contribute to a positive industrial solution, which will constitute a strength for the companies through the weak period for the offshore service vessel industry. The merged group will be a significantly stronger unit and will thus be well positioned to take advantage of

god posisjon til å kunne utnytte den fremtidige oppgangen i markedet som partene har tro på at vil komme. Sammenslåingen anses å være en god løsning for å sikre så vel kreditorer som aksjeeiernes verdier.

Styrene i DESSC og Solship Sub har på denne bakgrunn i fellesskap utarbeidet denne Fusjonsplanen for DESSC Fusjon l.

DESSC garanterer overfor Solship Sub at DESSC på tidspunktet for inngåelse av denne Fusjonsplanen har oppñ7lt sin informasjonsplikt til markedet etter gjeldende lover og regler, herunder Oslo Børs løpende forpliktelser, og at det med eventuelt unntak av upublisert finansiell informasjon som SOFF og FAR har fått innsyn i, ikke foreligger innsideinformasjon i DESSC på tidspunktet for inngåelse av denne Fusjonsplanen.

1.2 Nærmere om DESSC Fusjon I

Ved DESSC Fusjon I overføres DESSCS eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser som helhet til Solship Sub. Aksjeeierne mottar som fusjonsvederlag 1 aksje i Solship Sub for hver aksje de eier i DESSC. Aksjene som utstedes vil ha fulle aksjonænettigheter, herunder stemmerett, rett til utbytte og andre rettigheter som kan utledes av aksjene. I forkant av DESSC Fusjon I legges det opp til at det gjennomføres en nedsettelse av aksjekapitalen i Solship Sub fra NOK 30 000 med NOK 30 000 t¡l NOK 0 ved tilbakebetaling til aksjeeier i Solship Sub, jf. aksjeloven S 12-1 (1) nr. 2. Kapitalnedseftelsen vil være betinget av beslutning og gjennomføring av DESSC Fusjon l.

Bytteforholdet i DESSC Fusjon I er fastsatt basert på at Solship Sub iforkant av DESSC Fusjon I vil være et tomt selskap som følge av kapitalnedsettelsen som gjennomføres umiddelbart forut for DESSC Fusjon l. Basert på virkelige verdier av DESSC og Solship Sub vil bytteforholdet derfor være 1 Solship Sub-aksje pr DESSC-aksje (bytteforhold 111). Av denne grunn vil

the market recovery that the parties believe will come. The Combination is considered to be a good solution in order to secure values for the creditors as well as the shareholders.

The boards of directors of DESSC and Solship Sub have on this basis jointly prepared this Merger Plan for the DESSC Merger L

DESSC guarantees to Solship Sub that DESSC, at the time of entering into this Merger Plan, has fulfilled its information obligation to the market pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, including the continued obligations of Oslo Stock Exchange, and that, with the exception of any unpublished financial information disclosed to SOFF and FAR (if relevant), there is no inside information in DESSC at the time of entering into this Merger Plan.

1.2 Further details about the DESSC Merger I

Through the DESSC Merger l, allthe assets, rights and obligations of DESSC will be transferred in whole to Solship Sub. As consideration for the merger, the shareholders will receive 1 share in Solship Sub for every share they hold in DESSC. The shares to be issued will carry full shareholder rights, including voting rights, right to dividend and other rights linked to the shares. Prior to the DESSC Merger l, a reduction of the share capital of Solship Sub from NOK 30,000 by NOK 30,000 to NOK 0 will be completed by repayment to the shareholder of Solship Sub, cf. Section 12-1 (1) no 2 of the Norwegian Private Limited Liability Companies Act (the "LLCA'). The capital reduction will be conditional on the resolution and completion of the DESSC Merger l.

The exchange ratio for the DESSC Merger I is based on the fact that Solship Sub, prior to the DESSC Merger l, will be a shell company due to the capital reduction completed immediately prior to the DESSC Merger l. Based on the actual value of DESSC and Solship Sub, the exchange ratio will therefore be 1 Solship Sub share per DESSC share (exchange ratio

man ved bytteforholdet i DESSC Fusjon ll (se nedenfor) kunne ta utgangspunkt i kurs per aksje i DESSC selv om disse aksjene ved DESSC Fusjon I vil ombyttes med aksjer i Solship Sub. Verdsettelsen av DESSC' eiendeler og forpliktelser er basert på historisk aksjekurs (børsverdi) sett sammen med behovet for DESSC til å reforhandle lånebetingelsene med bankene og å blitilført ny egenkapital samt forhandlinger mellom partene som deltar i Sammenslåingen.

1.3 Nærmere om DESSG Fusjon ll

Ved DESSC Fusjon ll overføres Solship Subs eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser som helhet til Solship lnvest 3. Aksjeeieme i Solship Sub mottar som fusjonsvederlag 0,1052631 aksjer i SOFF for hver aksje de eier i Solship Sub. Vederlagsaksjene i SOFF vil skaffes til veie gjennom en kapitalforhøyelse i SOFF Kapitalforhøyelsen i SOFF gjennomføres ved at Solship lnvest 3 som kompensasjon for vederlagsaksjene utsteder en fordring direkte til SOFF samtidig som gjennomføringen av DESSC Fusjon ll registreres, jf. allmennaksjeloven $ 13-2 (2) annen setning. Pålydende på fusjonsfordri ngen vi I ti lsvare verd ien av fusjonsvederlaget.

For aksjeeieme i Solship Sub (som er tidligere aksjeeiere i DESSC) innebærer DESSC Fusjon ll at de får oppgjør i en aksje notert på Oslo Børs. Bytteforholdet mellom selskapene er basert på virkelige verdier og er avtalt til en kurs per aksje i SOFF på NOK 12,50 og en kurs per aksje i Solship Sub på NOK 1,31 57 8947 368421 (1,31 57 8947 368421 :12,50), dvs. at bytteforholdet skal være 0,1052631 SOFF-aksje pr Solship Sub-aksje. I forbindelse med DESSC Fusjon ll vil det i tillegg tíl utstedelse av til sammen 30 666 339 vederlagsaksjer i SOFF til aksjonærene i Solship Sub bli gjennomført en rettet emisjon i SOFF mot Hemen stor NOK 200 millioner ("Hemen Emisjonen") med en tegningskurs på NOK 12,50 per SOFF aksje. Dette er

1:1). For this reason, the exchange ratio for the DESSC Merger ll (cf. below) can be based on the price of each share in DESSC even though these shares will be exchanged for shares in Solship Sub in connection with the DESSC Merger l. The valuation of DESSC's assets and obligations is based on the historical share price (shareholder value) in combination with DESSC's need to renegotiate the loan terms with the banks and the need for issuing new equity as well as negotiations between the parties that participate in the Combination.

1.3 Further details about the DESSC Merger ll

Through the DESSC Merger ll, allthe assets, rights and obligations of Solship Sub will be transferred in whole to Solship lnvest 3. As consideration for the merger, the shareholders of Solship Sub will receive 0.1052631 shares in SOFF for every share they hold in Solship Sub. These consideration shares will be made available through a share issue in SOFF. To compensate for the issue of these shares, Solship lnvest 3 will issue a receivable directly to SOFF at the time of registration of the completion of the DESSC Merger ll, cf. the Nonregian Public Limited Liability Companies Act (the "PLLCA") Section 13-2 (2) second sentence. The nominal value of the receivable under the merger will correspond to the value of the merger consideration.

For the shareholders of Solship Sub (who before were shareholders of DESSC), the DESSC Merger ll will entail that the shareholders receive settlement in a share listed on Oslo Stock Exchange. The exchange ratio between the companies is based on actual values and is agreed at a price per share in SOFF of NOK 12.50 and a price per share in Solship Sub of NOK 1.31 57 8947368421 (1 .31 578947368421 :12.50), i.e. the exchange ratio is 0.1052631 SOFF shares per Solship Sub share. ln connection with the DESSC Merger ll and the issuing of a total of 30,666,339 consideration shares in SOFF to the shareholders of Solship Sub, a NOK 200 milion private placement of new shares in SOFF will be issued to Hemen (the

en emisjon som skulle vært gjennomført i DESSC som en del av restruktureringen av DESSC i forkant av Sammenslåingen. Av praktiske grunner vil imidlertid denne bli gjennomført direkte i SOFF i forbindelse med gjennomføringen av Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen. Provenyet som SOFF mottar i forbindelse med denne emisjonen vil i sin helhet bli benyttet til å styrke egenkapitalen i Solship lnvest 3 som fusjoneres med Solship Sub i DESSC Fusjon ll etter at Solship Sub har fusjonert med DESSC i DESSC Fusjon l. Det vil ikke bli gjennomført noen reparasjonsemisjon i SOFF ¡ etterkant av Hemen Emisjonen.

Bytteforholdet i DESSC Fusjon ll er fastsatt basert på forhandlinger mellom uavhengige parter. Ved fastsettelsen av kurs per aksje i SOFF er det tatt utgangspunkt i den tegningskurs som ble benyttet i forbindelse med kapitalutvidelsen iSOFF i2016, NOK 12,50 per aksje. Den samme kursen ble benyttet for vederlagsaksjene som ble utstedt i SOFF i forbindelse med fusjonen mellom Rem Offshore ASA og datterselskap av SOFF, gjennomført i desember 2016 og andre relaterte emisjoner på samme tidspunkt. Videre vil denne kursen bli benyttet når Aker i forbindelse med Sammenslåingen gjør opp sitt konvertible lån stort NOK 250 mill i SOFF gjennom konvertering eller utøvelse av tilhørende frittstående tegningsretter. Hemen Emisjonen iSOFF vilogså bli gjennomført på samme tegningskurs.

Ved fastseftelsen av kurs per aksje i Solship Sub har man tatt utgangspunkt i verdiene og dermed kursen på DESSC i forkant av DESSC Fusjon l. For DESSC har man ved fastsettelse av verdien i forkant av DESSC Fusjon I lagt til grunn en kurs på NOK

1,31578947368421 per aksje basert på avtale mellom partene som medvirker til Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen og Farstad Fusjonen, slik at det reelle bytteforholdet i Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen er

1,31 57 89 47 368421 :1 2,50, jf . ovenfo r. Ku rsen e r fremforhandlet av uavhengige parter, og er av den grunn et uttrykk for aksjenes markedsverdi. Styret i

"Hemen Share lssue"), with a subscription price of NOK 12.50 per SOFF share. This share issue should have been carried out in DESSC as part of the restructuring of DESSC prior to the Combination. For practical purposes, the issue will be made directly in SOFF in connection with completion of the Deep Sea Supply Merger. The proceeds that SOFF will receive from this share issue will in their entirety be used to strengthen the equity of Solship lnvest 3, which will be merged with Solship Sub in the DESSC Merger ll after Solship Sub has been merged with DESSC in the DESSC Merger l. No repair issue in SOFF will be carried out following the Hemen Share lssue.

The exchange ratio for the DESSC Merger ll is based on negotiations between independent parties. ln the determination of the price per share in SOFF, the parties have based the calculations on the NOK 12.50/share subscription price that was used in connection with the capital increase in SOFF in 2016. The same price was used for the consideration shares issued in SOFF in connection with the merger between Rem Offshore ASA and a subsidiary of SOFF, which was completed in December 2016, as well as other related share issues in SOFF carried out at the same time. This subscription price will also be used when Aker, in connection with the Combination, redeems its convertible loan of NOK 250 million to SOFF by conversion or the exercise of related independent subscription rights (Norwegian: Frittstående tegningsretter). The Hemen Share lssue in SOFF will also be carried with the same subscription price.

ln the determination of the price per share in Solship Sub, the parties have based the calculations on the values and thereby the share price of DESSC prior to the DESSC Merger l. For DESSC, the determination of the value prior to the DESSC Merger I has been based on a subscription price of NOK 1.31578947368421 per share, based on an agreement between the parties contributing to the Deep Sea Supply Merger and the Farstad Merger, so that the actual exchange ratio in the Deep Sea Supply Merger is

1.31578947368421:12.50, cf. above. The price has been negotiated by independent parties and is

SOFF har innhentet en uttalelse om bytteforholdet fra Arctic Securities. Styret i DESSC har innhentet en tilsvarende uttalelse fra Swedbank. Begge uttalelsene bekrefter at bytteforholdet er rimelig og saklig begrunnet.

Som nevnt ovenfor ble det i forbindelse med fusjonen mellom Rem Offshore ASA og datterselskap av SOFF etablert en ny aksjeklasse (B-aksjer) i SOFF med begrenset stemmerett. B-aksjene vil bli awiklet i forbindelse med gjennomføringen av Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen og Farstad Fusjonen ved at hver B-aksje vil bli byttet i én ordinær SOFF aksje, slik at SOFF etter Sammenslåingen kun vil ha én aksjeklasse. Alle aksjer i SOFF vil dermed fra gjennomføringstidspunktet for Sammenslåingen ha like rettigheter og herunder lik stemmerett. Aksjene som utstedes til tidligere aksjeeiere i DESSC som et resultat av Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen vil ha like rettigheter som øvrige aksjer i SOFF. Aksjene vilvære notert på Oslo Børs.

1.4 Nærmere om Farstad Fusjonen

Farstad Fusjonen er det avtalt et bytteforhold på 0,35:12,50 slik at hver aksje i FAR vil gi rett til 0,028 aksjer i SOFF. I forbindelse med Farstad Fusjonen vil det til sammen bli utstedt 136179 139 nye aksjer i SOFF til aksjonærene i FAR. Det er redegjort nærmere for Farstad Fusjonen og dette bytteforholdet i separat fusjonsplan for Farstad Fusjonen.

2. GJENNOMFøRING AV FUSJONEN

2.1 Skatte- og regnskapsrettsl i g gjennomføring

DESSC Fusjon I vil bli gjennomført med skattemessig kontinuitet (både på selskapsnivå og aksjeeiernivå) etter reglene i skatteloven kapitel 11, jf. S 11-11 (grenseoverskridende fusjoner) og i samsvar

therefore considered the market value of the shares. The Board of Directors of SOFF has obtained a statement on the exchange ratio from Arctic Securities AS. The Board of Directors of DESSC has obtained a corresponding statement from Swedbank. Both the statements confirm that the exchange ratio is fair and reasonably justified.

As mentioned above, a new class of shares in SOFF with limited voting rights was established in connection with the merger between Rem Offshore ASA and a subsidiary of SOFF (class B shares). The class B shares will be dissolved on completion of the Deep Sea Supply Merger and the Farstad Merger by way of every class B share being exchanged for one ordinary SOFF share, so that SOFF will only have one class of shares afterthe completion of the Combination. Consequently, all the shares in SOFF will carry equal rights and equal voting rights from the time of completion of the Combination. The SOFF shares issued to former DESSC shareholders as a result of the Deep Sea Supply Merger will have the same rights as the other shares in SOFF, including the right to vote. The shares will be listed on Oslo Stock Exchange.

1.4 Further details about the Farstad Merger

As regards the Farstad Merger, an exchange ratio of 0.35:12.50 has been agreed, so that each share in FAR will entitle the holder to 0.028 shares in SOFF. ln connection with the Farstad Merger, a total of 136,179,139 SOFF shares will be issued to the Farstad shareholders. The Farstad Merger and the related exchange ratio are described in more detail in the separate merger plan for the Farstad Merger.

2. IMPLEMENTATION OF THE MERGER

2.1 lmplementation of the merger for tax and accounting purposes

The DESSC Merger I will be carried out with what is known as tax continuity (on both company and shareholder level) in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 1 1 cf. Section 11-1 1 (cross-border mergers) of allmennaksjeloven kapittel 13, jf. S 13-25 flg. (grenseoverskridende fusjoner) og tilsvarende regler på Kypros. Dette medfører at DESSC Fusjon I vil bli gjennomført som en skattefri fusjon.

Skatteposisjoner knyttet til eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser som overføres fra DESSC som ledd i DESSC Fusjon I og som befinner seg innen for norsk beskatningsområde forut for DESSC Fusjon I vil bli videreført uendret i henhold til skatteloven kapittel 11, jf. S 11-11. Dette innebærer at skatteposisjoner knyttet til eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser innenfor norsk beskatningsområde forut for DESSC Fusjon I som overføres fra DESSC til Solship Sub vil bli videreført uendret ved gjennomføring av nevnte fusjon i henhold til punkt 2.3 nedenfor. Videre vil skatteposisjoner for aksjer i DESSC for norske aksjonærer i DESSC videreføres til aksjene som utstedes i Solship Sub som fusjonsvederlag.

Alle transaksjoner, kostnader og inntekter knyttet til eiendelene, rettighetene og forpliktelsene som overføres i kraft av DESSC Fusjon l, skal fra dette tidspunkt henregnes til Solship Sub. DESSC Fusjon I gjennomføres som regnskapsmessig transaksjon. Følgelig er overførte eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser oppført i åpningsbalansen til virkelig verdi i samsvar med oppkjøpsmetoden.

the Norwegian Taxation Act (the "Tax Act") and in accordance with Chapter 13 cf. Section 13-25ff. (cross-border mergers) of the PLLCA and corresponding Cypriot rules. This means that the DESSC Merger I will be carried out as a tax-neutral merger.

Pursuant to Section 13-29 (3) of the PLLCA, it is mandatory with respect to the DESSC Merger I to provide information about the procedure regarding the ti lkommer kreditorer og mindretallsaksjeeiere ved nevnte fusjon.

Dette er ikke relevant for Solship Sub da det i Solship Sub kun er én aksjeeier forut for gjennomføring av DESSC Fusjon L Uansett, vil ikke mindretallseiere i norske selskaper ha spesielle rettigheter ved fusjon, og det foreligger derfor ingen relevante opplysninger å gi. For norske selskaper, herunder Solship Sub, fremgår kreditorenes rettigheter av allmennaksjeloven S I 3-15 og $ 13-1 6, jf. S 1 3-25 om 6 ukers kreditorfrist forut for gjennomføring av fusjon.

For DESSC gjelder følgende regler i henhold til kypriotisk rett:

Rettigheter som tilkommer DESSC's kreditorer

Kreditorene har rett til å bli informert om vilkårene for fusjonen gjennom publisering av fusjonsplanen og relatert informasjon på selskapets websider minst en måned forut for generalforsamlingens behandling av fusjonen. Kypriotisk rett krever også at visse detaljer om fusjonen offentliggjøres gjennom Official Gazette of the Republic of Cyprus.

Kreditorene har dessuten rett til å delta i rettsmøtet ved District Court of Limassol når søknaden om utstedelse av fusjonsattest til DESSC skal behandles, og kan protestere mot gjennomføring av fusjonen dersom de er uenige i generalforsamlingens beslutning.

Rettigheter som tilkommer DESSC's m i n d retal I s a ksj ee i e re

Mindretallsaksjeeierne har rett til å bli informert om vilkårene for fusjonen gjennom (a) innsyn i fusjonsplanen, styrets rapport om fusjonen og rapporten fra den uavhengige sakkyndige, (b) publisering av fusjonsplanen og relatert informasjon på exercise of creditors' and minority shareholders' applicable rights in connection with the abovementioned merger.

This provision is not relevant for Solship Sub, as there is only one shareholder in Solship Sub prior to the completion of the DESSC Merger l. However, the minority shareholders of a Nonruegian company will not carry any special rights in connection with a merger, and there is therefore no relevant information to provide. For Nonvegian companies, including Solship Sub, the creditors' rights are further described in Section 13-15 and Section 13-16 of the PLLCA, cf. Section 13-25 regarding the six-week creditor notice period prior to the implementation of a merger.

Pursuant to Cypriot law, the following rules apply to DESSC:

Rþfrfs due fo DESSC's credÍors

The creditors have the right to be informed of the terms for the merger by publication of the Merger Plan and related information on the company's website no less than one month prior to the resolution of the merger by the general meeting. lt is also required under Cypriot law to make certain details of the merger public in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Cyprus.

The creditors also have the right to attend the court hearing at the District Court of Limassol when the application for the issuing of a pre-merger certificate to DESSC is considered and may object to the completion of the merger if they disagree with the general meeting's resolution.

Rr'ghfs due fo DESSC's minority shareholders

The minority shareholders have the right to be informed of the terms of the merger by (a) access to the Merger Plan, the Board of Director's report on the merger and the statement from the independent expert, (b) the publication of the Merger Plan and

selskapets websider minst en måned forut for generalforsamlingens behandling av fusjonen, og (c) offentliggjøring av visse detaljer om fusjonen gjennom Official Gazette of the Republic of Cyprus.

Mindretallsaksjeeierne har dessuten rett til å delta i rettsmøtet ved District Court of Limassol når søknaden om utstedelse av fusjonsattest til DESSC skal behandles, og kan protestere mot gjennomføring av fusjonen dersom de er uenige igeneralforsamlingens beslutning.

Future outlook

The Company's high contract coverage provides good earnings visibility during 2014. The Company expects revenues to increase in 102014 compared to 402013 due to improved technical and commercial utilization and positive contribution from newbuilds delivered in 402013 and 102014.

Worldwide utilization ratios and charter rates are showing positive signs. On the other hand, the order book for offshore supply vessels still remains high. Tendering activity for (ong term charters of PSVs is high, especially for operations in North Sea and Africa. The North Sea spot market remains volatile, however we expect the market to tighten as more rigs are entering the market and vessels are expected to leave for seasonal campaigns. Tendering activity for international vessels in Brazil remains 10w.

The Company's Board of Directors is evaluating strategic alternatives.These alternatives include the potential acquisition of up to 10 PSVs from PSV Holding. A conclusion is expected during 20 2014,

As of the date of the authorisation of the financial statements, all International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board lIASB) that are effective as of 1 January 2013 have been adopted by the EU through the endorsement procedure established by the European Commission, with the exception of certain provisions of lAS 39 "Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement" relating to portfolio hedge accounting.

Adoption of new and revised IFRSs

New and amended standards adopted by the Group During the current year the Group adopted all the new and revised IFRS as adopted by the EU that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2013. This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Company with the exception of the foliowing:

Amendment to lAS 1, 'Financial statement presentation' regarding other comprehensive income. The main change resulting from these amendments is a requirement for entities to group items presented in 'other comprehensive income' (OCI) on the basis of whether they are potentially reciassifiable to profit or loss subsequently (reclassification adjustments).

lAS 19, 'Employee benefits' was revised in June 2011.The changes on the group's accounting policies has been as follows: to immediately recognise all past service costs: and to replace interest cost and expected return on plan assets with a net interest amount that is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability (asset).

lFRS 13, 'Fair value measurement', aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across lFRSs.The requirements, which are largely aligned between IFRSS and US GAAP do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it

should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within lFRSs or US GAAR

There are no other IFFISs or IFRIC interpretations that are endorsed by the EU and have been adopted by the Group that are expected to have a material impact.

The Group has also decided to early adopt the foliowing amendment as of 1 January 2013:

  • Amendments to lAS 36 - Recoverable amount disclosures for non-financial assets (issued on 29 May 2013 and effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2014; EU effective date for 1 January 2014). The amendments remove the requirement to disclose the recoverable amount when a CGU contains goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets but there has been no impairment.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group

At the date of approval of these financial statements a number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2013, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on these consolidated financial statements, except the following set out below:

(a) Adopted by the European Union

tAS 27 (revised 2011), Separate financial statements' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013; EU effective date for i January 2014). lAS 27 was changed and its objective is now to prescribe the accounting and disciosure requirements for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates when an entity prepares separate financial statements. The guidance on control and consolidated financial statements was replaced by IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements.

lAS 28 )revised 2011), 'Associates and joint ventures' )effective for annual periods beginning on or after i January 2013; EU effective date for i January 2014). AS 28 (revised 2011) includes the requirements for joint ventures, as wel) as associates, to be equity accounted fotowing the issue of IFRS 11, IFRS 10, "consolidated financial statements" )effective for annual periods beginning on or after i January 2014) was issued in May 2011 and provides additional guidance to assist in the determination of control where this is difficult to assess. lFRS 10 builds on existing principles by identifying the concept of control as the determining factor in whether an entity shall be included within the consolidated financial statements of the parent company.

IFRS 10, "Consolidated Financial Statements" (effective for annual periods beginning on or efter 1 January 2013; EU effective date for i January 2014), replaces all of the guidance on control and consolidation in lAS 27 "Consolidated and separate financial statements" and SIC-12 "Consolidation - special purpose entities '.'IFRS 10 changes the definition of control se that the same criteria are applied to all entities to determine control. This definition is supported by extensive application guidance. IFRS il. 'Joint Arrangements' (effective for annua) periods

beginning on or after 1 January 2013; EU effective date for 1 January 2014). A joint venture gives the Group rights to the net assets or prof it of the joint arrangement. A joint operation gives the Group direct rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the joint arrangement. lnvestments that meet the definition of a joint operation will be accounted for by recognizing assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses according to the entity's shares in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the joint operation as determined and specified in the contractual arrangement. For investments that meet the new definition of a joint venture proportionate consolidation will no longer be applicable. Under IFRS li joint ventures will be accounted for using the equity method of accounting. IFRS 12, 'Disclosures of interests in other entities' (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013; EU effective date for 1 January 2014). IFRS 12 includes the disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles. The Group yet to assess the full impact of IFRS 12. Amendments to lAS 39 - Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting )issued on 27 June 2013 and effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2014; EU effective date for 1 January 2014). The amendments will allow hedge accounting to continue in a situation where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated (i.e parties have agreed to replace their original counterparty with a new one( to effect clearing with a central counterparty as a result of laws or regulation, if specific conditions are met.

Off setting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Amendments to lAS 32 (issued in December 2011 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after i January 2014; EU effective date for 1 January 2014). The amendment added application guidance to [AS 32 to address inconsistencies identified in applying some of the offsetting criteria. This includes clarifying the meaning of 'currently has a legally enforceable right of set-off and that some gross settlement systems may be considered equivalent to net settlement. Transition Guidance Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS il and IFRS 12 (issued on 28 June 2012 and effective for annual periods beginning i January 2013; EU effective date for i January 2014). The amendments clarify the transition guidance in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. Entities adopting IFRS 10 should assess control at the first day of the annual period in which IFRS 10 is adopted, and if the consolidation conclusion under IFRS io differs from lAS 27 and SIC 12, the immediately preceding comparative period (that is, year 2012 for a calendar year-end entity that adopts IFRS 10 in 2013) is restated, un)ess impracticable. The amendments also provide additional transition relief in IFRS 10, IFRS li, Joint Arrangements, and IFRS 12, Disclosure of lnterests in Other Entities, by limiting the requirement to provide adjusted comparative information only for the immediately preceding comparative period. Further, the amendments will remove the requirement to present comparative information for disclosures related to unconsolidated structured entities for periods before

IFRS 12 is first applied.

Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and lAS 27 - Investment entities (issued on 31 October 2012 and effective for annual periods beginning 1 January 2014; EU effective date for 1 January 2014). The amendment introduced a definition of an investment entity as an entity that (i) obtains funds from investors for the purpose of providing them with investment management services, (ii) commits to its investors that its business purpose is to invest funds solely for capital appreciation or investment income and (iii) measures and evaluates its investments on a fair value basis. An investment entity will be required to account for its subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss, and to consolidate only those subsidiaries that provide services that are related to the entity's investment activities. IFRS 12 was amended to introduce new disclosures, including any significant judgments made in determining whether an entity is an investment entity and information about financial or other support to an unconsolidated subsidiary, whether intended or already provided to the subsidiary.

(b) Not adopted by the European Union

  • IFRIC 21 Levies (issued on 20 May 2013 and effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2014). The interpretation ciarifies the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is not income tax. The obligating event that gives rise to a liability is the event identified by the legislation that triggers the obligation to pay the levy. The fact that an entity is economically compelled to continue operating in a future period, or prepares its financial statements under the going concern assumption, does not create an obligation. The same recognition principles apply in interim and annual financial statements. The application of the interpretation to liabilities arising from emissions trading schemes is optional. - IFRS 9, Financial Instruments: Ciassification and Measure-

  • ment'. Key features of the standard issued in November 2009 and amended in October 2010, December 2011 and November 2013 are:

    • Financial assets are required to be ciassified into two measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at fair value, and those to be measured subsequently at amortized cost. The decision is to be made at initial recognition. The ciassification depends on the entity's business mode) for managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the instrument.
    • An instrument is subsequently measured at amortized cost only if it is a debt instrument and both (i) the oblective of the entity's business model is to hold the asset to collect the contractual cash fiows, and (ii) the asset's contractual cash fiows represent payments of principal and interest only (that is, it has only "basic loan features"l. All other debt instruments are to be measured at fair value through profit or loss.
  • All equity instruments are to be measured subsequently at fair value. Equity instruments that are held for trading will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. For all other equity investments, an irrevocable election can be made at initial recognition, to recognize unrealized and realized fair value gains and losses through other comprehensive income rather than profit or loss. There is to be no recycling of fair value gains and losses to profit or loss. This election may be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis. Dividends are to be presented in profit or loss, as long as they represent a return on investment.

  • Most of the requirements in lAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.

  • Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management. The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply lAS 39 to all hedges because the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging. The amendments made to IFRS 9 in November 2013 removed its mandatory effective date, thus making application of the standard voluntary. The Group does not intend to adopt the existing version of IFRS 9 until this is enclosed by the European Union. The Group has not yet assessed the impact of the adoption of IFRS9 in its financial statements.

-Annual lmprovements to lFRSs 2013 (issued in December 2013 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 20141 the improvements consist of changes to four standards. The basis for conclusions on IFRS 1 is amended to clarify that, where a new version of a standard is not yet mandatory but is available for early adoption; a first-time adopter can use either the old or the new version, provided the same standard is applied in all periods presented. IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that it does not apply to the accounting for the formation of any joint arrangement under IFRS 11. The amendment also ciarifies that the scope exemption only applies in the financial statements of the joint arrangement itself. The amendment of IFRS 13 ciarifies that the portfolio exception in IFRS 13, which allows an entity to measure the fair value of a group of financial assets and financial liabilities on a net basis, applies to all contracts lincluding contracts to buy or seIl non-financial itemsl that are within the scope of lAS 39 or IFRS 9. ]AS 40 was amended to clarify that lAS 40 and IFRS 3 are not mutually exclusive. The guidance in lAS 40 assists preparers to distinguish between investment property and owner-occupied property. Preparers also need to refer to the guidance in IFRS 3 to determine whether the acquisition of an investment property is a business combination, -Annual lmprovements to lFRSs 2012 (issued in December 2013 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014, unless otherwise stated belowl.The improvements consist of changes to seven standards. IFRS 2 was

amended to clarify the definition of a vesting condition' and to define separately 'performance condition' and service condition'; The amendment is effective for share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014. IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that (1) an obligation to pay contingent consideration which meets the dofinition at a financia) instrument is ciassified as a financial liability or as equity, on the basis of the definitions in lAS 32, and (2) all non-equity cantingont cansideration, both finoncial and non-financial, is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in prof it and (oss. Amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for business combinations where the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014. IFRS 8 was amended to require (1) disclasure of the judgments made by management in aggregating operating segments, including a description of the segments which have been aggregated and the economic indicators which have been assessed in determining that

the aggregated segments share similar ecanomic characteristics, and (2) a reconciliation at segment assets to the

entity's assets when segment assets are reparted.The basis far conclusions on IFRS 13 was amended ta clarify that deletian at certain paragraphs in lAS 39 upon publishing at IFRS 13 was not made with an intention ta remove the ability ta measure shart-term receivables and payables at invaice amaunt where the impact at discaunting is immaterial. lAS 16 and lAS 38 were amended ta clarify how the gross carrying amaunt and the accumulated depreciation are treated where an entity uses the reva)uatian model. lAS 24 was amended ta include, as a related party, an entity that provides key management persannel services ta the reparting entity ar to the parent of the reparting entity (the management entity'), and ta require ta disclose the amounts charged ta the reparting entity by the management entity for services provided.

The Baard of Directors assesses the impact at new standards and interpretatians at the paint when these are endarsed by the European Union. As a result the impact at the abave new standards and interpretatians that have not been endarsed by the European Union has not been assessed,

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are those companies and other entities in which the Group, directly or indirectly, has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govenn the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are presently exercisable or presently convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group (acquisition date) and are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases. The Company was established for the purpose of acquiring all shares of Deep Sea Supply ASA.

The consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent, the "Company" and are a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (Deep Sea Supply ASA). As a result:

  • -The assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary are recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts;
  • -The retained earnings and other equity balances are the retained earnings and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary immediately before the reorganisation;
  • -The amount of issued equity instruments is that of the Company; and
  • Comparative information presented in the first year of consolidation is that of the legal subsidiary.

All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(b) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the group has sgnificant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.

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

The group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest

in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The group determines at each reporting date whether there is any ob)ective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to 'share of profit/(loss) of an associate' in profit or loss.

Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the group and its associate are recognised in the group's financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

(c) Joint ventures

The group's interests in jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting (see policy on investments in associates). The group recognizes the portion of gains or losses on the sale of business by the group to the joint venture that is attributable to the other venturers. The group continues to treat the investment in the joint venture based on the value of the assets/ liabilities carrying amount prior to the establishment of the joint venture for equity accounting purposes.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

2.3 Discontinued operations

An operation that has been disposed of (by a particular reporting date) or classified as heid for sale at that point may be classified as discontinued even if the entity continues to operate in the same business segment, but withdraws from a geographical area. If a disposal group meets the discontinued operation criteria, the cashflows and results of the disposal group are presented as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations are presented in a separate part of the statement of comprehensive income. The figure presented is for the entire period and not the result since the operation was discontinued. The amount to be disclosed is the entire post-tax result for the period plus any gain or loss on remeasurement/ disposal gain of assets or disposal groups. Hence, in the statement of comprehensive income each line item from revenue down to post-tax profit excludes discontinued operations. Discontinued operations held for sale are measured in the same way as other disposal groups, that is, at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to seil.

2.4 Underlying concepts

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis using accrual accounting.

Assets and liabilities and income and expenses are not offset unless specifically permitted by an accounting standard. Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported only when a legally enforceable right to set off exists and the intention is either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Changes in accounting policies are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions in the IFRS standards. If no such guidance is given, they are applied retrospectively, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case they are applied prospectively.

2.5 Recognition of assets

Assets are only recognized if they meet the definition of an asset, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the group and the cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

2.6 Ciassification of assets

Assets intended for long-term ownership or use, are ciassified as non-current. Other assets are classified as current. Receivables due to be repaid within one year are classified as current assets.

2.7 Use of estimates

The key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk for causing a material ad-Ïustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below under section 4.

2.8 Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR) loan

The Group has applied for two Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR) loans from the Norwegian Export Credit Agency in 2008. The duration of the loans may vary (DESSC 12 years) and the cash proceeds from the loans have been deposited in fixed deposit account with a Norwegian bank at a higher interest rate than that of the loans. The agreed period of the deposits is identical with the one of the loans. The loans and the interest thereof will be repaid from that account. At initial recognition the difference between the

amounts received and fair value of the loan has been recognised as deferred gain and is amortised over the period of the life of the asset.

2.9 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.

The components of the Group that management uses to make decisions about operating matters are the geographical region and the type of the vessel.

The Group is organized into main geographic regions; North Sea, Mediterranean, Africa, Australia/Far East and North & South America. The geographical segments are based on the location of the vessels.

The types of vessels are AHTS and PSVs.

Depreciation is allocated between the different segments based on number of days the vessels have been operated within the different segments.

2.10 Foreign currencytranstation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Deep Sea Supply PIc, located in Cyprus, became the parent company of the Group with effect from 28 December 2006. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency. All Group entities have the USD as their functional currency.

All amounts in these financial statements are in USD 1,000 unless otherwise stated.

(b)Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit or loss.

2.11 Non-current assets and maintenance costs

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less subsequent depreciation and impairment. For vessels purchased, these costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, taking residual values into consideration, and adjusted for impairment charges, if any. The carrying value of the fixed assets on the balance sheet

represents the cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Day-to-day maintenance costs are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations and periodic maintenance of vessels are capitalized and depreciated over the useful lifetime of the parts replaced. The useful lifetime of regular vessels docking expenses will normally be the period until next docking which if it is an intermediate survey is after 30 months and if it is a special survey is after 60 months. When ships are acquired, a proportion of the acquisition cost is capitalized as periodic maintenance.

Depreciation on vessels and other assets (equipment) is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

-Vessels 30 years
-Vehicles 5 years
- Dry docking costs
• Intermediate survey 2.5 years
• Special survey 5 years
- Software licenses 3 years
- Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 years

The assets' residual values and useful lifetime assumptions of fixed-assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date, and where they differ significantly fram previous estimates, depreciation charges are changed accordingly. Gains and losses on dispasals are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in operating profit. For vessels under finance sale and leaseback disposals the deferred gain is recognized fully inta the profit and loss upan disposal.

2.12 Non-current assets (ar disposal graups) held for sale

Non-current assets (ar disposal graups) are ciassified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable,They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to seil.

payments for vessels under construction in accordance with non-financial assets are impaired at least an a quarterly

the terms of the vessel-cantracts. The total acquisition cost includes the sum at installments payable plus direct costs incurred during the construction periad.

Prepayments are carried at cost less provision for impairment. A prepayment is ciassified as non-current when the goads ar services relating ta the prepayment are expected ta be abtained after ane year, ar when the prepayment relates ta an asset which will itselt be ciassified as non-current upan initial recagnitian. Prepayments ta acquire assets are transferred ta the carrying amount at the asset once the Group has obtained control of the asset and it is prabable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow ta the Group. Other prepayments are written off to profit ar loss when the gaads ar services relating ta the prepayments are received. If there is an indication that the assets, gaads ar services relating ta a prepayment will not be received, the carrying value of the prepayment is written down accardingly and a correspanding impairment loss is recognised in profit ar loss.

2.14 Lease agreements

The determination at whether an arrangement is, ar contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right ta use the asset. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are ciassified as aperating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received fram the lessor) are charged ta the profit ar loss an a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. In cases where the Group is the lessor in an operating lease, initial direct costs are added to the carrying amount at the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease incame. Financial leases, which transfer ta the Group substantially all

the riaks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception at the lease at fair value at the leased asset ar, it lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apportianed between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability sa as ta achieve a constant rate of interest an the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are charged directly ta financial expenses.

Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter at the estimated useful life at the asset and the lease term, if there is na reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end at the lease term.

In a sale and finance leaseback transaction any excess of sales proceeds over the carrying amount is deferred and recognized in the profit ar loss over the lease term.

2.13 Newbuild cantracts 2.15 Impairment of non-financial assets

Instailments on new vessel contracts are presented as pre- The Group determines whether there are indicatians that

basis. The carrying value of vesseis are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable .The asset's cash generating ability either through use or sale is reviewed and compared to the asset's carrying value in the balance sheet. If the carrying value is higher, the difference must be written off as an impairment loss. Fair value reduced by estimated sales costs is the amount achievable on an arm's length sale to an independent third party. The recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to seil and is established individually for all cash generating units. 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 at the time and the risk specific to the asset that is considered impairod. For vessels that are held under a sale and finance leaseback arrangement that have a related carrying amount of a deferred gain as explained in 2.13 above, upon impairment the Group recognizes the impairment first within the unamortized part of the deferred gain for the same asset that is presented as a liability and any excess is charged to the profit or loss. A previousiy recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Reversal of previausly recognized impairment is limited to the amount the carrying value of the asset wouid have been, had the initial impairment charge not taken piace.

2.16 Financial assets

The Group ciassifies its financial assets in the follawing categories: at fair value through profit or loss, Ioans and receivables, and avaiiable for sale. The ciassification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognitian.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss This category has twa sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is ciassified in this category if acquirod principally for the purpose of seiling in the short term or if sa designated by management, and they meet certain criteria (lAS 39.9).Derivatives are also categorizod as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are ciassified as current assets if they are either hold for trading or are expected to be settled within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are inciuded in current assets, except for maturitios greater than 12 months atter the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are ciassified as 'trade and other receivables' and 'cash and cash equivalents' in the balance sheet.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not ciassified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or seil the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transactian costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit ar ass. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the profit ar loss. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows fram the investmonts have expired ar have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of awnership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit ar loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amortisod cost using the effectivo interest method. Gains ar losses arising fram changos in the fair value of the "financial assets at fair value through profit ar ass" category are presented in the profit ar loss within other (lasses)/gains - not, in the poriad in which they anse. Dividend incame fram financial assets at fair value through profit ar loss is recognized in the profit ar loss as part of other incamo when the Graup's right ta receive payment is establishod.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet dato whether there is abjective evidence that a financial asset ar a graup of financial assets is impaired.

2.17 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Dorivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the dato a derivative cantract is ontered inta and are subsequently remoasured at thoir fair value. The method of recagnising the rosulting gain ar loss deponds an whethor the derivativo is designated as a hedging instrument, and if sa, the nature at the item boing hedged. The Group dosignates cortain donivativos as either: (1) hedges of the fair value of recognized assets ar liabilities ar a firm commitment (fair value hedge); (2) hedges of a particu)ar risk associated with a recognized asset ar liability ar a highly probable forocast transactian )cash flaw hodge); ar (3) hedges of a net investment in a fareign aporatian (not investment hodge).

The graup documonts at the inceptian of the transactian the rolatianship between hedging instruments and hodgod items, as well as its risk management ob(octives and strategy far undortaking variaus hedging transactians. The graup alsa dacumonts its assossmont, bath at hedgo incoptian and an an ongaing basis, of whethor the derivativos that are

used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values ar cash fiows of hedged items. The fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 8. Movements on the hedging reserve in other comprehensive income are shown in Statement of Changes of Equity. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is ciassified as a non-current asset ar liability when the remaining hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset ar liability when the remaining maturity at the hedged item is less than 12 months.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion at changes in the fair value at derivatives that are designated and quality as cash flow hedges is recognised in ather comprehensive income. The gain ar loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the profit or loss within finance income ar finance costs respectively.

When a hedging instrument expires ar is sold, ar when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain ar lass existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the profit ar loss. When a forecast transaction is na langer expected to occur, the cumulative gain ar loss that was reported in equity is immediately transterred ta the profit or (oss within finance income ar finance cost.

When the Graup provides guarantees ta parties autside the Graup for any losses sutfered in derivatives due to breach at contract, a provision is made for the fair value of the derivative when the loss becomes prabable.

2.18 Inventories

Bunkers inventories are valued at the lower at historical cost and net realisable value applying the FIFO (first-in, firstout) principle.

Lubail inventories are valued using the weighted average valuatian methad.

2.19 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequent(y measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provisian for impairment. A provisian for impairment at trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the graup will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms at the receivables. Signiticant tinancial difticulties at the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy ar financial reorganisation, and default ar delinquency in payments (more than 120 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amaunt at the pravision is the difference between the assets carrying amaunt and the present value at estimated tuture cash tiows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The

carrying amaunt of the asset is reduced through the use at an allowance accaunt.

2.20 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents, includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

2.21 Restricted cash

Restricted cash deposits comprise at tunds held in separate Graup bank accaunts, which will be used to settle accrued taxation liabitties related to employe&s tax deduction. Restricted cash are excluded fram cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.

2.22 Share capital

Ordinary shares are c(assitied as equity. Costs directly attributable to the issue at new shares ar options are shown in equity as a deduction, net at tax, fram the proceeds.

Share premium is the difference between the fair value at the consideration receivable for the issue at shares and the nominal value at the shares. Share premium account can only be resorted ta for limited purposes, which do not inciude the distribution at dividends, and is otherwise subïect to the provisions at the Cyprus Companies Law on reduction at share capital.

2.23 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net at transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are

subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net at transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in the profit ar loss over the period at the borrowings using the effective interest metbod.

Borrowings are ciassitied as current liabilities unless the Graup has an unconditional right to deter settlement at the liability tar at least 12 months atter the balance sheet date. General and specitic borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction ar production at qualitying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period at time to get ready for their intended use ar sale, are added to the cost at those assets, until such time as the assets are substantial(y ready for their intended use ar sale. Investment income earned on the temporary investment at specitic borrowings pending their expenditure on qualitying assets is deducted fram the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All ather borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.24 Trade payables

Trade payables are recognized initiaty at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.25 Taxation

Tax expense/income includes current taxes and the change in deferred taxes.

Parts of the Groups activities within the Norwegian subsidiaries are structured within the regulations for the Norwegian lonnagelax System for shipping companies.

The Group has estimated a tax rate of 0% for the Companies sublect to the regulations of the shipping company regime. For all companies under this regime, the Group has estimated 0% deferred tax on temporary differences when entering the regime. For companies not included in the regime, and for taxable financial revenues in companies under the regime, the Group applies a tax rate of 28% for Norwegian companies and 10% for Cyprus companies.Tax expense/income includes current taxes and the change in deferred taxes.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it anses from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates land laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and its probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

2.26 Profit-sharing and bonus plans

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense within wages and salaries, for bonuses and profit-sharing to certain employees, based on a formula that takes into consideration the performance of peer group companies. The Group recognizes a liability where contractual obligations exist or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

2.27 Share based payments

Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments such as options to buy shares of the Company.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which the award is granted. The fair value is determined using appropriate valuation models.

The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in reserves within equity, over the vesting period which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period the entity revises the estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market conditions, It recognises the impact of the revisjon to original estimates, jf any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Where the terms of the share option scheme is modified to be settled in cash rather than in equity instruments, the entity measures the liability initially using the modification date fair value of the equity-settled award, based on the elapsed portion of the vesting period. This amount is then recognized as a credit to liability and a debit to equity. Until the liability is settled it is re-measured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss.

2.28 Pensjon costs and obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pensjon plan under which the group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. A defined benefit plan is a pensjon plan that is not a defined contribution plan.

Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation.

The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pensjon plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the

currency in which the benefits will be pald, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pensjon obligation. In countries where there is no deep market in such bonds, the market rates on government bonds are used.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they anse.

Fast-service costs are recognised immediately in income

For defined contribution plans, the group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

2.29 Provisions

Provisions represent liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. Provisions are recognized when the group has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past event, for which it is probable that an outfiow of economic benefits will be required to settie the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settie the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

2.30 Revenue recognition

The group's activity is chartering out different kind of Anchor Handlingjug SuppIyvessels (AHTS's)and Platform Supply Vessels (PSV's).

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Groups activities. Revenue is shown net of valueadded tax, withholding tax, returns, rebates and discounts and atter eliminated sales within the Group. Revenue is recognized as foliows:

Charter rate contracts

Charter contracts are ciassified as operating leases under lAS 17 Revenue derived from charter contracts is recognized in the period over the lease term on a straight line basis. Related services are recognized as revenue in accordance with the services being rendered.

Vessels without signed contract in place at discharge have

no revenue before a new contract is signed. Charter related expenses incurred for vessels in the idle time are expensed. Revenues from time charters and bareboat charters accounted for as operating leases are recognized over the rental periods of such charters, as service is performed on a straight line basis.

Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivabie is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverabie amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

Dividend income

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

2.31 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's sharehoiders is recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders until payment is made.

2.32 Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the flat profit/ oss for the Company by the average weighted number of outstanding shares over the period in question. Diluted earnings per share inciude the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments such as stock options.

2.33 Statement of cash flow

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

2.34 Comparatives

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year The 2012 resuits have been restated to clearly present the result from continued and discontinued operations (as per note 30.2)

3. Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's normal business activities expose it to a variety of financial risks. Financial market risk is the possibility that f)uctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and freight rates in particular will affect the value of the Group's assets, liabilities or future cash flow. The Group has formulated a finance strategy where certain basic targets and policies are made for value adjusted equity (note 3.2), required Iiquidity, exchange rates, interest rates, funds management etc. To reduce and manage these risks, management daily reviews and assesses its primary financial and market risks. Once risks are identified, appropriate action is taken to mitigate the specific risk. Financial derivatives are used for hedging purposes in order to mitigate financial risks and only well understood conventional derivatives are used. Financial derivatives are entered into with our main banks which are highly rated financial institutions. The Group use derivatives in order to manage risks associated with interest rate and currency.

Foreign exchange risk:

The Company's functional currency is USD.The Group operates internationa)ly and is exposed to foreign exchange risks arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to Euro ([UR), UK Pounds (GBP), Brazi)ian Rea)s )BRL), Singapore dollar )SGD) and Norwegian kroner (NOK). Foreign exchange risks anse from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and (iabilities.The Group had in 2013 and 2012 mainly USD, EUR, GBBRL and NOK revenues and mainly USD, BRL, SGD and NOK expenses. lmbalances between revenues and costs are often managed using forward currency contracts. Ide tab)e below shows the impact on profit before tax as a consequence of an increaseldecrease in the various exchange rates;

2012 +/-10% +/-1,623
SGD Increase Effect USD '000
2013 +/-10% +/- 448
2012 +/-10% +/-434

Credit risk

Concentration risk

The Group trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. For banks and financial institutions, only credit worthy institutions are chosen. Receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debt is not significant. Below, we present a table showing the concentration risks for 2013 and 2012:

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of market interest rates are mainly related to the Group's long term debt ob)igations with foating interest rates. 8orrowings issued at variable rates expose the group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the group to fair value interest rate risk. Depending on the development of and on internal analyses of the interest rate market, the Group enters into various interest rate contracts to alter the ratio of fixed rate to floating rate debt and vice-versa.

As of 31 December 2013 and 2012, after taking into account the effect of the interest rate swaps, approximately 80% and 60% respectively of the interest bearing debt was fixed.

Interest rate risk table:

The foliowing table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, at the Group's proft betore tax.

Cash flow interest risk

Increase/decrease in basis points Effect on loss before tax (USD '000)
2013 +/-10
2012 +/-10 259

Liquidity risk

The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of tunds by ciosely monitoring the projected cash tlow from operations, financial expenses, its capital expenditure program related, in particular and to commitments (Note 6) under its newbuilding program. The Group maintains sufficient cash for its daily operations via short term cash deposits at banks.

The table below analysos the group's non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis if their contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash tlows.The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscourited cash flows; (all numbers in USD 1,000).

3.2 Capital risk management

The Group's objective is to actively pursue an optimal financing at its fleet at any time for the purposes ot providing good return to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, to aim at low cost of capital and at the same time secure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group will actively use the capital markets when doing investments, and does not intend to hold signiticant liquid reserves for investments. The Group will aim at distributing retained earnings above a satistactory working capita) level as dividend. In the shipping and offshore industry, emphasis in made on Value Adjusted Risk Capita). A certain minimum Value Adjusted Risk Capital is otten used as one financial covenant by financial institutions.

The main source at financing of the Group is Senior Bank Loans fram international banks which are long term players in the shipping and offshore business segments. The Group believes in building and maintaining long term re)ationships with these financial institutions and has pursued this strategy since the Group was founded.

Bank loan financing has been combined with twa specially structured sale and leaseback transactions for (currently) 5 vessels owned by DESS BTG and 1 vessel owned by DESS P1-C. The sale and leaseback transactions are designed to withstand possible drops in the market by having fewer and leaner financial covenants compared to the senior bank loan facility.

The Groups Management considers the combination of senior bank Ioans and sale and the leaseback transaction as an effective and flexible way to finance the Companys fleet at an acceptable cost.

The Value Adjusted Risk Capital, for the group including 50% of DESS BTG, by year end 2013 and 2012 is presented in table below

Year end 2013 Year end 2012
Total value adjusted assets () 661 860
Total debt () 351 536
Value Adjusted Risk Capital 310 or 47% of total value adjusted assets 324 or 38% of total value adjusted assets

() Market values obtained from two independent brokers on a charter-free basis including excess value of newbuilding contract (") Excluding deferred gain

3.3 Fair value estimation

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been definod as foliows:

  • Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asses or liabilities (Level 1).
  • lnputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Leve] 2).
  • Input for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market date (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The following table presents the group '5 assets and liabilities that are measurest at fair value at 31 December 2013:

Liabilities Levet 1 Levet 2 Levet 3 Total
Derivatives used for hedging 915 915
Derivatives 577 577
Total tiabilities - 1 492 - 1492

The folloiwng table prosents the group 's assets and liabilities that are measurest at fair value at 31 Decembor 2012:

Liabilittes Levet i Level 2 Levet 3 Total
Derivatives used for hedging - 1 660 - 1 660
Total liabilities - 1660 1660

The financial derivatives are not traded in an active merket and are thus included in level 2. The derivatives are used for economic hedging purposes. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques.These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where is its available and rely as littie as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument re observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

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

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates wHl, by defini tion, seldom equal the related actual resuits. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

(a) Impairment of vessels

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual resuits could differ from such estimates. The Group performs an impairment test when there are indicators for impairment in accordance with the relevant accounting policy. The Group compares the carrying amount of the vessels with the recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less costs to seil and the value-in-use calculation. Management estimates the fair value less costs to seil by obtaining third party professional valuations for all vessels from two different valuers and calculating the average.

Year ended 31 December 2013

The balance sheet value of the Group's vessels and vessels owned 50% through investment in JV, new buiid contracts excluded, comprises approximateiy 69% of the total balance sheet of group and the balance sheet of investment in JV. In the current market for supply vessels, the recoverable amount of the Group's vessels at 31 December 2013 was higher than the balance sheet value for all vessels of the group. The recoverable amount for all vessels was based on their fair value less costs to seil except for two vessels owned by the Group and two vessels owned 50% through the investment in JV, for which the recoverable amount was based on value-in-use calculations. None of the vessels of the group was identified to be impaired.

A lO% change in the main assumptions used in the impairment test for the four vessels, whose recoverable amount was based on their value in use, would have no effect on the carrying amount of the vessels, profit for the year or deferred gain balance.

For the vessels for which the recoverable amount was based on fair value less costs to seil, a 15% decrease in the valuation of the brokers and assuming that the value-in-use of the vessels was not above fair value less costs to seil, would have decreased the carrying amount of the vessels by US$

4,910, deferred gain balance by US$ 7,429, profit for the year by US$ 13,740 and investment in JV by US$ 16,259. A 15% increase in the valuation of the brokers would have increased the carrying amount of the vessels by US$ 723, deferred gain by US$ 5,041 and Investment in JV by US$ 4,318.

Year ended 31 December 2012

The balance sheet value of the Group's vessels, comprised approximately 83 % of the total balance sheet. in the current market for supply vessels, the recoverable amount of the Group's vessels at 31 December 2012 was higher than the balance sheet value for all vessels of the group

The recoverable amount for all vessels was based on their fair value less costs to seil for all vessels. None of the vessels of the group was identified to be impaired.

A 15% decrease in the valuation of the brokers and assuming that the value-in-use of the vessels is not above fair value less costs to seil, wouid have decreased the carrying amount of the vessels by US$ 28,344, deferred gain by US$ 8,524 and profit for the year by US$ 19,819.

A 15% increase in the valuation of the brokers would have increased the carrying amount of the vessels and deferred gain by US$27233.

(b)Tax legislation

Tax legislation is subject to varying interpretations. Refer to Note 28.

(c) Insurance claim receivables

At balance sheet date, the Group has booked US$ 2.506 as amounts recoverable from insurance companies. The Ïoint venture has additional amount of US$7755 inciuded in the investments accounted for using the equity metbod. Such claims are filed foliowing insurance poiicies and fall in two categories: Loss of hire and Hull & Machinery.

Loss of hire pertains to claims made when a technical issue prevents the vessels' ability to be on hire.

Hull & Machinery pertains to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred to repair the problem.

There is an element of judgment when deciding which expenses can be claimed and whether it is virtually certain that the amounts will be recovered, but the Group foliows the pohcies and the advice of external consultants before submitting any claim,

4.2 Critical judgments in applying the group's accounting policies

(a) Classification of sale and leaseback transaction

The Group's management has recognized the sale and leaseback transaction for six of its vessels in 2007/2008 in accordance with lAS 17 "Leases" and SIC lnterpretation 27 "Evaluating the Substance ofTransactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease' Management has considered that the provisions of SIC 27 are not applicable however the Group has substantial risks and rewards incidental to ownership and the exercise of the option to purchase the vessels is considered to be almost certain. Foliowing this analysis the Group's management has concluded that the leaseback is a finance lease since it considers that the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership since it is

reasonably certain that the Group will exercise the option to purchase the vessels.

As a result of the above the Group has derecognized the vessels and has recognized them back at their fair value which was higher than the carrying amount. The gain has been deferred and is being amortised to the profit or loss over the lease term which is considered to be 12 years (refer to the accounting policy on Lease agreements). fer to the accounting policy on Lease agreements).

5. Segment reporting

5.1 Income statement / balance sheet and cash flow

DEEP SEA SUPPLY PIc is a ship owner and operator of Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels )AHTS) and Platform Supply Vessels (PSV). The Company has a worldwide operation, with particular focus on Brazil, North Sea, South Fast Asia and Africa. Since its foundation in 2004, Deep Sea has built a supply ship fleet with AHTSs and PSVs operating worldwide, with the aim of becoming one of the leading owners and operators of supply vessels on a global basis. As part of this strategy, the Company has sought to collaborations with foreign partners, which has resulted in an exclusive partnership agreement with two Malaysian partners in 2010 (associated entities); and the partnership with BTG Brasil (Ïoint venture). The DESS - BTG Ïoint venture was established with the primary purpose of owning and operating AHTSs and PSVs in the Brazilian territory and creating a solid position in the Brazilian offshore supply market. DESS has experience with AHTSs and PSVs worldwide and in Brazil. DESSs operations have traditionally been managed by the Board of Directors by reviewing information by area of operation; and by type of vessel )AHTS, PSV).

On 31 May 2013 DESS disposed 50% of its Brazilian operation (see note 30). A gain of US$82.356 was recognized on the sale. In the income statement the gain has been presented as discontinued operation; while for segment reporting the gain has been presented in gain on sale.

Management continues to review detailed information about its operations in Brazil as for all other Group operations and as such segment reporting is presented as follows:

-Without taking into consideration the impact of presentation for discontinued operations and therefore adding discontinued operations line by line, facilitating comparison with previous periods; however by taking into consideration the non depreciation of vessels since classified as held for sale for consistency to presentation in the primary statements.

  • By removing the impact of equity accounting for the joint venture and by adding line by line the proportion of Deep Sea Supply participation )a)ike proportionate consolidation) in the JointVenture in the income statement; balance sheet; and cash fiows.

During the year the Group has implemented the amended standard lAS 19 Employee benetits from 1 January 2013.

The most signiticant change in the amended AS 19 is the removal at the corridor approach for actuarial gans and losses.

These are not reciassified in later periods to protit or loss. The group did not restate prior period tigures because the impact is immaterial.

The Company has guaranteed towards DESS BTG, the fulfilment of the obligations of PSV Holding under the newbuild purchase agreements. In the event PSV Holding is not able to deliver the vessels in accordance with its commitments under the newbuilds purchase agreements, there is a risk thatlhe Company will be responsible as guarantor towards DESS BTG. On the date of sign off of the financial statements, PSV Holdings has fulfilled its obligations under the newbuild purchase agreements and delivered all the newbuilds to the joint ventura group.

The Company has issued a parent company guarantee for the obligations of Deep Sea Supply Navegacao Maritima Ltda under the BNDES Pacility Agreement for the financing of Sea Brasil. As part of the BTG Pactual Group, BTG Brasil cannot issue guarantees pursuant to internal restrictions, and is therefore not able to assume 50% of the guarantee obligations in connection with the establishment of the Joint Venture.

BTG Brasil has instead issued a counter indemnity in favour of The Company, whereby BTG Brasil indemnifiesThe Company for any claims exceading 50% of the total liability under the guarantee given under the BNDES Facility. The Company will still be the initial guarantor under the guarantee granted in favour of BNDES, and in the event BTG Brasil is not able to fulfil its obligations under the counter indemnity guarantee, The Company will be responsible for the full guarantee amount if BNDES calls upon the guarantee, which may materially impact the financial condition of the Deep Sea Group. The obligations of BTG Brasil under the counter indemnity agreement will be secured by way of a share pledge by BTG Austria over the shares in DESS BTG. The Group is not expecting any financial impact from any of these guarantees.

The preparation of financi al statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process applying the Company's accounting policies. There are no areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss. Adoption of new and revised lFRSs.The adoption of new and revised lFRSs at 1 January 2013 did not have any material impact on the Company's separate financial statements.

2.2 Underlying concepts

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis using accrual accounting. Assets and liabilities and income and expenses are not offset unless specifically permitted by an accounting standard. Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported only when a legally enforceable right to set off exists and the intention is either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Changes in accounting policies are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions in the IFRS standards. If no such guidance is given, they are applied retrospectiveiy, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case they are applied prospectively.

2.3 Investments in subsidiary undertakings

Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than ene half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies. Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost and provision is only made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is impairment in their value.

2.4 Investments in JointVentures

The investment in joint venture has been initially recognized at the fair value of two entities (out of the three that are subject to the joint venture agreement): the third one is held by a subsidiary of the Company. Investments in joint ventures

are stated at cost and provision is only made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is impairment in their value.

2.5 Revenue recognition

Dividend income

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

Interest income

I nterest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Company reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estmated future cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

2.6 Recognition of assets and liabilities

Assets are only recognized if they meet the definition of an asset, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

2.7 Valuation and ciassification of assets and liabilities

Assets intended for long-term ownership or use are classified as non-current. 0ther assets are ciassified as current. Receivables due to be repaid within one year are ciassified as current assets.

Non-current assets are stated at historic cost price, but written down to recoverable amount when the fall in value is considered to be permanent. Such write-downs are reversed when the reason for the write-down no longer applies.

2.8 Foreign exchange translation

2.9 Financial assets

The Company ciassifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale.The ciassification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is ciassified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term or if 50 designated by management, and they meet certain criteria (lAS 39.9),Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are ciassified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are ciassified as trade and other receivables' and cash and cash equivalents' in the balance sheet.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivat)ves that are either designated in this category or not ciassified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or sel) the asset. lnvestments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or (oss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or (oss, are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards

of awnership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit ar loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amartized cost using the effective interest method. Gains ar losses arising fram changes in the fair value at the "financial assets at fair value thraugh profit ar ass' categary are presented in the income statement within other (losses)/ gains - net, in the period in which they anse. Dividend incame fram financial assets at fair value thraugh profit ar lass is recognized in the incame statement as part of other income when the Campany's right ta receive payment is established.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is abjective evidence that a financial asset ar a group of financial assets is impaired.

2.10 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value an the date a derivative cantract is entered inta and are subsequently remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain ar loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and it sa, the nature at the item being hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as either: (1) hedges at the fair value of recognized assets ar liabilities ar a firm cammitment (fair value hedge); (2) hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability ar a highly prabable forecast transaction (cash tlaw hedge); ar (3) hedges at a net investment in a toreign aperation (net investment hedge).

The Company documents at the inceptian at the tnansacdon the relatianship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management abjectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactians. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inceptian and on an angoing basis, at whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactians are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values ar cash flaws at hedged items.

Ide fair values at variaus derivative instruments used tar hedging purposes are disclosed in note 9. Movements an the hedging reserve in other comprehensive incame are shown in Statement at Changes of Equity. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is ciassified as a non-current asset ar liability when the remaining hedged item is more than 12 manths, and as a current asset ar liability when the nemaining maturity at the hedged item is less than 12 manths.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion at changes in the fair value at derivatives that are designated and quality as cash tlaw hedges Is recognised in other comprehensive incame. The gain ar loss nelating ta the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the incame statement within finance incame ar finance

casts respectively.

When a hedging instrument expires ar is sold, ar when a hedge na longer meets the criteria tar hedge accaunting, any cumulative gain ar loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the torecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a tarecast transactian is na langer expected ta accur, the cumulative gain ar loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred ta the incame statement within finance incame ar finance cost.

When the Company pravides guarantees ta parties autside the Graup for any losses suffered in derivatives due ta breach at cantnact, a pravision is made tar the fair value of the derivative when the ioss becomes prabable.

2.11Cash and cash equivalents

2.12 Share capital

Ordinany shares are ciassitied as equity.

Casts directly attributable ta the issue at new shares ar aptians ane shown in equity as a deductian, net at tax, fram the praceeds.

2.14Trade payables

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.1 5Taxation

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly in equity. In this cases, the tax is also recognized in equity. The current income tax is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the country where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Deferred income is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it anses from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects either accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

2.16 Provisions

Provisions represent liabilities of uncertain timing or amount. Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past event, for which it is probable that an outflow at economic benefits will be required to settie the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settie the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage at time is recognized as interest expense.

2.17 Dividend income

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

2.17 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Company's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders until payment is made.

2.18 Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profit/ 1055 for the Company by the average weighted number of outstanding shares over the period in question. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments such as stock options.

2.19 Statement of cash flow

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

2.20 Share based payments

Employees of the subsidiaries of the company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments such as options to buy shares of the Company. The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which the award is granted. The fair value is determined using appropriate valuation models. The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in reserves within equity, over the vesting period which is the period over which all at the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end at each reporting period the entity revises the estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Where the terms of the share option scheme is modified ta be settled in cash rather than in equity instruments, the entity measures the liability initially using the modification date fair value of the equity-settled award, based on the elapsed portion of the vesting period. This amount is then recognized as a credit to liability and a debit to equity. Until the liability is settled it is re-measured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss.

Where necessary, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation in the current year.

THE 2014 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND CERTAIN MAIN PISK FACTORS

The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with, and comply with, IFRS as adopted by the EU. The financial information presented in note 5 "Segment Reporting" incorporates 50% of the financial figures from the Brazilian Joint Venture business line by line using the proportionate consolidation method, and this is how the Board measures the financial performance of the Company

Going concern

The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.

Revenue and profit

The Company recorded freight revenues of USD 88.1 mill and vessels' operating expenses of USD 34.9 mill. Operating lease for the vessels on bareboat contracts were USD 5.6 mill. Other operating expenses (mainly general and administrative expenses for the offices in Cvorus. Singapore and Norway) were USD 11.0 mill.

The Company's revenues in 2014 were in USD, BRL, EURO and GBP and the operating expenses were mainly in USD, BRL. SGD and NOK

Normal depreciation of the vessels was USD 18.8 mill. The vessels' book values are depreciated to zero when the vessels are 30 years old. The Vessels' intermediate and full surveys are balanced and depreciated until the time of the next intermediate or special survey (approximately every 2.5 years for the intermediate and 5 years for the special).

Impairments

The Company has recognized total impairments on its vessels of USD 13.9 mill, of which USD 9.0 mill has been recognized in the income statement and USD 4.9 mill has been recognised against the deferred gain on financed leased vessels in the balance sheet (Note 29).

The Company's operating profit in 2014 was USD 9.2 mill.

Financial expenses were USD 9.7 mill and net currency items were negative USD 4.9 mill.

Total taxes for the Group in 2014 were USD 0.2 mill.

The loss for the year from continuing operations was USD 0.9 mill.

Receivable adjustments

In relation to vessels operating under long term contracts in Brazil, certain invoiced amounts have been disputed between the Company and the client. The disputes consist of a certain number of relatively smaller amounts that have gradually over the duration of the long term contracts built up to a total amount of USD 2.5 mill. The Company will continue to argue that these amounts should be paid by the client, but has decided to make a provision of the full amount of USD 2.4 mill against these receivables.

Investment in Associate - Sea Weasel Ltd

In 2011 the Company sold the 6,800 BHP AHTS vessel "Sea Weasel" to the company Sea Weasel Ltd, a partnership between a local Malaysian ship owner and operator, a Malaysian stateowned investment fund and DESS. DESS sold the vessel with a profit, and also kept approx, 25% of the shares in Sea Weasel Ltd. DESS' partners have not been able to support the vessel's operating expenses and liabilities. To protect the Company's exposure as ship managers of the vessel. DESS has out forward a claim leading to the arrest of the vessel in Singapore. Based on this, the Company has decided to write off the total exposure to Sea Weasel Ltd of USD 1.6 mill (USD 1.3 mill impairment of investment and USD 0.3 mill provision against outstanding receivable balance).

In total, the one-off items related to impairments, receivable adjustments and the Sea Weasel Ltd investment had a negative effect of USD 13.0 mill, which is reflected in the income statement and has turned a profit for 2014 into a loss of 0.9 mill.

Dividend policy

The acquisition of 10 new vessels with attractive break even rates is expected to improve the company's ability to pay competitive dividends over time. The Board of Directors in August 2014 therefore decided to re-introduce dividend payments for the Company and started this by distributing USD 0.02 per share both in August 2014 and November 2014.

The Company has a strong balance sheet and a comfortable cash position, but due to the recent drop in oil price and the uncertain market outlook in the oil service and offshore supply market, the Board of Directors in February 2015 decided to be cautious and not to distribute any dividend to shareholders in relation to 40.2014

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

2,1 Statement of Compliance and basis of preparation

These consolidated 6nanciat statements have been prepared in accordance with, and conipty with, International Financiat Reporting Standards ('IFRS') av adopted by the European Union )'EU') and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cup. 113,

The consolidated financiat statements have been prepared under the historical cost conveotion, av moditied by the renatuation of financiat asseta and liabitities, inctuding derivative instruments at fair vatve through protit nr loss. A surnmary of the principal accounling policies applied in the preparation at thene consolidated 6nanciat statements are vet not below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years preaented, antess otherwive stated.

The preparation of frnanciat statements in contormity with IFRS reqoires the osv of certain critical accounling evtimalev. It olso reqaires management to exercise its judgment in the process applying the Group's accaunting policies. The areas innolving a higher degree of judgment ar cnmptexity, nr areas where avsumptinns and evtimatev are signiticant to the consolidated financiat statements are disctoved in Note 4.

Basis of preparation

An 01 the date at the authorivation nI the tlnanciat statements, att International Finaociat Reporting Standards issaed by the tnternatinnatAccouoting Standards Board (tAS6) that are ettective an at 1 January 2014 have been adopted by the EU through the endorsemenl procedure establivhed by the European Commivvion.

Adoption of new and revised lFRSs New and amended standards adopted by the Groap During the carrent year the Group adopted att the new and revised IFRS av adopted by the EU that are relevant lv its

operatinnv and are effective for accoonting periods beginning on 1 January 2014. The key standards adopted mere the foltowing:

IFRS 10, Cnnvotidated tivanciat statements'. IFRS 10 buitds on eoivting principlev by idenhfying the concept ot conlrol av the determining factor in whether an entity shoutd be inctuded within the consolidated tinanciat statements at the parent company. The standard providev additional guidaoce to avvist in the determinatinn at controt where thiv is ditt malt to avsevs.

IFRS 11, JointArrnngementv. IFRS 11 isa more reativtic reftection ot joint arrangements by tocusiog on the rights and obligations 01 the arrangement rather thor its legal form. There are two types st iniot arrangement jnint nperatinnv and jaint ventares. Jnint nperationv anse where ajoint operator hav rights to the ovvets and obligations relolirg to the arrangement and henne acconrtv for its interest in avsets, liabitities, revenue and enpessev. Jojat veetures anse where the jnint operator hos rights to the net asselv of the arrangement ord henne equity accountv for us interest. Propartionat cnnvotidation otjnint ventnrev is vn longer permitted.

IFRS 12, "Disctnsurev at tnterests in Other Entities. IFRS 12 appties to entities that have an interest in a vabsidiary, a jaint arrangement, an associate or an urconsolidated slructured entity. IFRS 12 vetv out the reqaired disctosures for entities repnrting under the mo new standards: IFRS 10, Convotidated financial statements, and IFRS 11, Joist arrangementv, and replaces the divclosure reqairements carrently tound in lAS 25, tnvevtmentv in associates. IFRS 12 requires entities to divctove information that hetpv tinanciat vtatement readerv to enatuole the oatare, risks and tinanciat ettects associated with the entity'a interests in subsidiariev, associates, inint arrangemento and unconvotidated structuwd entities. To mccl these objectiven, the new standard requirev divctnvurev in a number nI areas,

including significant judgments and assumptions made in determining whether an entity controls, jointly controls, or significant-Iv influences its interests in other entities, extended disclosures on share of non-controlling interests in group activities and cash flows, summarised financial information of subsidiaries with material non-controlling interests, and detailed disclosures of interests in unconsolidated structured entities.

This adoption did not have a material effect on the accounting policies of the Group.

New standards and interpretations not vet adopted by the Group At the date of annroyal of these financial statements a number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on these consolidated financial statements:

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement"* (issued in July 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). Key features of the new standard are:

  • a. Financial assets are required to be classified into three measurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, those to be measured subsequently at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

  • b. Classification for debt instruments is driven by the entity's husiness model for managing the financial assets and whether the contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). If a debt instrument is held to collect, it may be carried at amortised cost if it also meets the SPPI requirement. Debt instruments that meet the SPPI requirement that are held in a portfolio where an entity both holds to collect assets' cash flows and sells assets may be classified as FVOCI. Financial assets that do not contain cash flows that are SPPI must be measured at FVPL (for example, derivatives). Embedded derivatives are no longer separated from financial assets but will be included in assessing the SPPI condition.

  • c. Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, provided the instrument is not held for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss.

  • d. Most of the requirements in IAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.

  • e. IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses - the expected credit losses (ECL) model There is a 'three stage' approach which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the new rules mean that entities will have to record an immediate loss equal to the 12-month FCL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables). Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. The model includes operational simplifications for lease and trade receivables.

  • f. Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more closely with risk management. The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply IAS 39 to all hedges because the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging.

IFRIC 21 - Levies (issued on 20 May 2013 and effective for annual neriods beginning 17 June 2014). The interpretation clarifies the accounting for an obligation to pay a levy that is not income tax. The obligating event that gives rise to a liability is the event identified by the legislation that triggers the obligation to pay the levy. The fact that an entity is economically compelled to continue operating in a future period, or prepares its financial statements under the going concern assumption, does not create an obligation. The same recognition principles apply in interim and annual financial statements. The application of the interpretation to liabilities arising from emissions trading schemes is optional.

Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions - Amendments to IAS 19 (issued in November 2013 and effective for annual periods beginning 1 July 2014) The amendment allows entities to recognise employee contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the related employee service is rendered, instead of attributing the contributions to the periods of service, if the amount of the employee contributions is independent of the number of years of service.

Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2012 (issued in December 2013 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014, unless otherwise stated below)*. The improvements consist of changes to seven standards. IFRS 2 was amended to clarify the definition of a 'vesting condition' and to define separately 'performance condition' and 'service condition': The amendment is effective for share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014.IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that (1) an obligation to pay contingent consideration which meets the definition of a financial instrument is classified as a financial liability or as equity, on the basis of the definitions in IAS 32, and (2) all non-equity contingent consideration, both financial and non-financial, is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognised in profit and loss. Amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for business combinations where the acquisition date is on or after 1 July 2014. IFRS 8 was amended to require (1) disclosure of the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments, including a description of the segments which have been aggregated and the economic indicators which

have been assessed in determining that the aggregated segments share similar economic characteristics, and (2) a reconciliation of segment assets to the entity's assets when segment assets are reported. The basis for conclusions on IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that deletion of certain paragraphs in IAS 39 upon publishing of IFRS 13 was not made with an intention to remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables at invoice amount where the impact of discounting is immaterial. IAS 16 and IAS 38 were amended to clarify how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated depreciation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model. IAS 24 was amended to include, as a related party. an entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity ('the management entity'), and to require to disclose the amounts charged to the reporting entity by the management entity for services provided. IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers* (issued on 28 May 2014 and effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2017). The new standard introduces the core principle that revenue must be recognized when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognized, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognized if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed.

Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture - Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28" (issued on 11 September 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016). These amendments address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in IAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves a business. A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are held by a subsidiary.

*denotes standards, interpretations and amendments which have not been endorsed by the European Union.

The Board of Directors assesses the impact of new standards and interpretations at the point when these are endorsed by the European Union. As a result the impact of the above new standards and interpretations that have not been endorsed by the European Union has not been assessed.

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully

consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree' s identifiable net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred The Company was established for the purpose of acquiring all shares of Deep Sea Supply ASA.

The consolidated financial statements are issued under the name of the legal parent, the "Company" and are a continuation of the financial statements of the legal subsidiary (Deep Sea Supply ASA). As a result:

  • The assets and liabilities of the legal subsidiary are recognized and measured at their pre-combination carrying amounts; - The retained earnings and other equity balances are the retained earnings and other equity balances of the legal subsidiary immediately before the reorganisation:

  • The amount of issued equity instruments is that of the Company: and

  • Comparative information presented in the first year of consolidation is that of the legal subsidiary.

All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated: unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(b) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise the investor's share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.

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

The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehen-

sive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate. including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount adjacent to 'share of profit/(loss) of an associate' in profit or loss.

Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognised in the Group's financial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(c) Joint arrangement

The Group applies IFRS 11 to all joint arrangements. Under IFRS 11 investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. When the group's share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the joint ventures), the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the inint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

2.3 Discontinued operations

An oneration that has been disposed of (by a particular reporting date) or classified as held for sale at that point mav be classified as discontinued even if the entity continues to operate in the same business segment, but withdraws from a geographical area. If a disposal group meets the discontinued operation criteria, the cashflows and results of the disposal group are presented as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations are presented in a separate part of the statement of comprehensive income. The figure presented is for the entire period and not the result since the operation was discontinued. The amount to be disclosed is the entire post-tax result for the period plus any gain or loss on remeasurement/ disposal gain of assets or disposal groups. Hence, in the statement of comprehensive income each line item from revenue down to post-tax profit excludes discontinued operations. Discontinued operations held for sale are measured in the same way as other disposal groups, that is, at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell

2.4 Underlying concepts

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern basis using accrual accounting.

Assets and liabilities and income and expenses are not offset unless specifically permitted by an accounting standard.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported only when a legally enforceable right to set off exists and the intention is either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Changes in accounting policies are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions in the IFRS standards. If no such guidance is given, they are applied retrospectively, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case they are applied prospectively

2.5 Recognition of assets

Assets are only recognized if they meet the definition of an asset, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

2.6 Classification of assets

Assets intended for long-term ownership or use, are classified as non-current. Other assets are classified as current. Receivables due to be repaid within one year are classified as current assets.

2.7 Use of estimates

The key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk for causing a material adiustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below in Note 4.

2.8 Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR) loan

The Group has applied for two Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR) loans from the Norwegian Export Credit Agency in 2008. The duration of the loans may vary and the cash proceeds from the loans have been deposited in fixed deposit account with a Norwegian bank at a higher interest rate than that of the loans. The agreed period of the deposits is identical with the one of the loans. The loans and the interest thereof will be repaid from that account. At initial recognition the difference between the amounts received and fair value of the loan has been recognised as deferred gain and is amortised over the period of the life of the asset.

2.9 Seament reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The components of the Group that management uses to make decisions about operating matters are the geographical region and the type of the vessel. The Group is organized into main gengraphic regions: North Sea, Mediterranean, Africa, Australia/Far East and North & South America. The geographical segments are based on the location of the vessels. The types of vessels are AHTS and PSVs. Depreciation is allocated between the different segments based on number of days the vessels have been operated within the different segments.

2.10 Foreion currency translation

(a) Functional and presentation currency

Deep Sea Supply Plc, located in Cyprus, became the parent company of the Group with effect from 28 December 2006. Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ('the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency. All Group entities have the USD as their functional currency

All amounts in these financial statements are in USD 1,000 unless otherwise stated.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit or loss.

2.11 Non-current assets and maintenance costs

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less subsequent depreciation and impairment. For vessels purchased, these costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acoulsition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, taking residual values into consideration, and adjusted for impairment charges, if any. The carrying value of the fixed assets on the balance sheet represents the cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is orobable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred

Day-to-day maintenance costs are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations and periodic maintenance of vessels are capitalized and depreciated over the useful lifetime of the parts replaced. The useful lifetime of regular vessels docking expenses will normally be the period until next docking which if it is an intermediate survey is after 30 months and if it is a special survey is after 60 months. When ships are acquired, a proportion of the acquisition cost is capitalized as periodic maintenance

Depreciation on vessels and other assets (equipment) is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated ricaful lives as follows:

- Vessels 30 years
- Vehicles 5 years
- Dry docking costs
· Intermediate survey 2.5 years
· Special survey 5 years
- Software licenses 3 years
- Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 years

The assets' residual values and useful lifetime assumptions of fixed-assets are reviewed at each balance sheet date, and where they differ significantly from previous estimates, depreciation charges are changed accordingly. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are included in operating profit. For vessels under finance sale and leaseback disposals the deferred gain is recognized fully into the profit and loss upon disposal.

2.12 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.

_____

2.13 Newbuild contracts

lostaitments on new vessel cootracts are presented an prepayments tar vessels under construction in accnrdance with the terms of the vessel-contracts. The total acquinition cont includes the sum of installmentn payable plan direct contn incurred during the construction period.

Prepaymentn are carried at cost less provisjon for impairment. A prepayment is clasnified on non-current when the gosds nr services relating to the prepayment are expected to be obtained after sne year, nr when the prepayment retates to an annet which wilt itself be ciassified an non-current upon initial recsgnition. Prepayments to acquire assets are transferred to the carrying amount of the annet once the Group ras obtained control of the asset and it is probabte that future e5000mnic benefits associated wtth the annet wilt flow to the Group. Other prepayments are written off to profit ar loss when the goodo or sernices relating to the prepayments are receined. If there is an indication that the assets, gonds nr services relating to a prepayment will not be receined, the carrying satse of the prepayment is written down accordingly and a corresponding impairment tonn in recognised in profit or loss.

2.14 Lease agreements

The determination st whether an arrangement is, om contains lease, is buned on the subntance at the arrangement and requires an annensment of whether the tsttlltnrent of the arrangement is dependent on the ane sto specific annet or assets and the arrangement conveyn a right to use the annet. Leanes in which a significant parbon st the risks and rewards of swnemship are retained by the lessor are ctassified an operating leases. Payments made under operating leasen (net of any incentineu receined from the tessor) are charged to the profit er loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. In cases wtiere the Group is the tessor in an operating lease, initial direct costn are added to the carrying amount of the leaned annet and recognized an an expense ener the teane term on the same basis an the lease income.

Financiat teases, which transfer ta the Group substantiatty att the riskn and benefitn incidentat to owoernhip st the teaned item, are sapitatized at the inception st the lease at fair value at the teased annet om, jf tower, at the present value at the minimum lease payments.

Liquidity risk

The Group monitors its risk to a shortage of funds by closely monitoring the projected cash flow from operations, financial expenses, its capital expenditure program related, in particular and to commitments (Note 6) under its newbuilding program. The Group maintains sufficient cash for its daily operations via short term cash deposits at banks.

The table below analyses the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis if their contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash flows. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows; (all numbers in USD 1,000).

3.2 Capital risk management

The Group's objective is to actively pursue an optimal financing of its fleet at any time for the purposes of providing good return to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, to aim at low cost of capital and at the same time secure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

The Group will actively use the capital markets when doing investments, and does not intend to hold significant liquid reserves for investments. The Group will aim at distributing retained earnings above a satisfactory working capital level as dividend. In the shipping and offshore industry, emphasis in made on Value Adjusted Risk Capital, A certain minimum Value Adjusted Risk Capital is often used as one financial covenant by financial institutions.

The main source of financing of the Group is Senior Bank Loans from international banks which are long term players in the shipping and offshore business segments. The Group believes in building and maintaining long term relationships with these financial institutions and has pursued this strategy since the Group was founded.

Bank loan financing has been combined with a specially structured sale and leaseback transaction for (currently) 1 vessel owned by the Group. The sale and leaseback transaction is designed to withstand possible drops in the market by having fewer and leaner financial covenants compared to the senior bank loan facility.

The Group's Management considers the combination of senior bank loans and sale and the leaseback transaction as an effective and flexible way to finance the Company's fleet at an acceptable cost.

The Value Adjusted Risk Capital, for the Group (including 50% of DESS BTG), by year end 2014 and 2013 is presented in table below

(all numbers are in USD million)

Value Adjusted Risk Capital 435 or 43% of total value adjusted assets 310 or 47% of total value adjusted assets
Total debt (**) 351
Total value adjusted assets (*) 1.012 661
Year end 2014 Year end 2013

(*) Market values obtained from two independent brokers on a charter-free basis including excess value of newbuilding contract (**) Excluding deferred gain

During the year the Group has complied with all externally imposed capital requirements

3.3 Fair value estimation

The table below analyses financial instruments carried at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follower

. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical asses or liabilities (Level 1).

  • Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (Level 2).
  • . Input for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market date (that is, unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 31 December 2014:

Assets Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Derivatives 143 143
Total assets 143 143
Liabilities Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Derivatives used for hedging 386 386
Total liabilities 386 386

The following table presents the Group's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value at 31 December 2013:

Liabilities~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Level 1 Level 2 evel 3 Total
Derivatives used for hedging 915 915
Derivatives 577
Total liabilities 492 492

The financial derivatives are not traded in an active market and are thus included in level 2. The derivatives are used for economic hedoing purposes. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where is its available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument re observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.
  • Adiusted comparable price-to-book value multiples
  • Other techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

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

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

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

(a) Impairment of vessels

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

The Group performs an impairment test when there are indicators for impairment in accordance with the relevant accounting policy. The Group compares the carrying amount of the vessels with the recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value-in-use calculation. Management estimates the fair value less costs to sell by obtaining third party professional valuations for all vessels from two different valuers and calculating the average.

Year ended 31 December 2014

The carrying value of the Group's vessels and vessels owned 50% through investment in Joint Venture, comprised approximately 79% of the total balance sheet of the Group and the balance sheet of investment in Joint Venture. In the current market for supply vessels the recoverable amount of the Group's vessels at 31 December 2014 was lower than balance sheet value for a number of vessels. An impairment charge of USD 13,903 (Note 6) arose for vessels of the Group and USD 3,647 for the Group's share on the vessels of the Joint Venture during the course of the year 2014 resulting in the carrying amount of the vessels being written down to its recoverable amounts and share of profit from Joint venture and investment in Joint Venture being reduced.

A 10% change in the, main assumptions used in the impairment testing vessels whose recoverable amount was based on their value in use would have the following additional effect on carrying amounts of vessels, investment in Joint Venture and profit for the year:

Decrease onCarrving amountof Vessels Decrease in Shareof profit from Jointventure/Investment inJoint venture Decrease of profitfor the year
10% decrease in utilization (or daily income) (5132) (3622) (8724)
10% increase in daily operating expenses (3003) (575) (3.548)
10% increase in discount factor (2107) (425) (2502)
10% decrease in revenue growth (1246) (407) (1624)

For the vessels for which the recoverable amount was based on fair value less costs to sell, a 10% decrease in the valuation of the brokers and assuming that the value in use of the vessels was not above fair value less costs to sell, would have the following effect:

Decrease onCarrying amountof Vessels Decrease in Shareof profit from Jointventure/investment inJoint venture Decrease of profitfor the year
10% decrease in brokers valuation (14485) (743) (15228)

Year ended 31 December 2013

The balance carrying value of the Group's vessels and vessels owned 50% through investment in Joint Venture, new build contracts excluded, comprised approximately 69% of the total balance sheet of Group and the balance sheet of investment in Joint Venture. In the current market for supply vessels, the recoverable amount of the Group's vessels at 31 December 2013 was higher than the balance sheet value for all vessels of the group.

The recoverable amount for all vessels was based on their fair value less costs to sell except for two vessels owned by the Group and two vessels owned 50% through the investment in Joint Venture, for which the recoverable amount was based on value-in-use calculations. None of the vessels of the group was identified to be impaired.

A 10% change in the main assumptions used in the impairment test for the four vessels, whose recoverable amount was based on their value in use, would have no effect on the carrying amount of the vessels, profit for the year or deferred gain balance. For the vessels for which the recoverable amount was based on fair value less costs to sell, a 15% decrease in the valuation of the brokers and assuming that the value-in-use of the vessels was not above fair value less costs to sell, would have decreased the carrying amount of the vessels by USD 4,910, deferred gain balance by USD 7,429, profit for the year by USD 13,740 and investment in Joint Venture by USD 16,259.

(b) Tax legislation

Tax legislation is subject to varying interpretations. Refer to Note 29.

(c) Insurance claim receivables

At balance sheet date, the Group has booked USD 1.370 (2013; USD 2,506) as amounts recoverable from insurance companies. Such claims are filed following insurance policies and fall in two categories: Loss of hire and Hull & Machinery. Loss of hire pertains to claims made when a technical issue prevents the vessels' ability to be on hire.

Hull & Machinery pertains to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred to repair the problem.

There is an element of judgment when deciding which expenses can be claimed and whether it is virtually certain that the amounts will be recovered, but the Group follows the policies and the advice of external consultants before submitting any claim.

(d) Residual values and Useful economic life

The Group follows the quidance of IAS 16 on determining the useful economic life of its vessel. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the period over which an asset is expected to be available for use by an entity, which is based on management's intentions and past experience with similar assets.

Furthermore management estimates the residual value of the vessels to be Nil as the selling price is estimated to equal the selling/dismantling costs of the vessel at the end of its useful economic life.

4.2 Critical judgments in applying the group's accounting policies

(a) Classification of sale and leaseback transaction

The Group's management has recognized the sale and leaseback transaction for six of its vessels in 2007/2008 in accordance with IAS 17 "Leases" and SIC Interpretation 27 "Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease". Management has considered that the provisions of SIC 27 are not applicable however the Group has substantial risks and rewards incidental to ownership and the exercise of the option to purchase the vessels is considered to be almost certain. Following this analysis the Group's management has concluded that the leaseback is a finance lease since it considers that the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership since it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise the option to purchase the vessels. As a result of the above the Group has derecognized the vessels and has recognized them back at their fair value which was higher than the carrying amount. The gain has been deferred and is being amortised to the profit or loss over the lease term which is considered to be 12 years (refer to the accounting policy on Lease agreements).

5. Segment reporting

5.1 Income statement / balance sheet and cash flow

DEEP SEA SUPPLY PIc is a ship owner and operator of Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTS) and Platform Supply Vessels (PSV). The Company has a worldwide operation, with particular focus on Brazil, North Sea, South East Asia and Africa. Since its foundation in 2004. Deep Sea has built a supply ship fleet with AHTSs and PSVs operating worldwide, with the aim of becoming one of the leading owners and operators of supply vessels on a global basis. As part of this strategy, the Company has sought to collaborations with foreign partners, which has resulted in an exclusive partnership agreement with two Malaysian partners in 2010 (associated entities); and the partnership with BTG Brasil (joint venture). The DESS - BTG joint venture was established with the primary purpose of owning and operating AHTSs and PSVs in the Brazilian territory and creating a solid position in the Brazilian offshore supply market. DESS has experience with AHTSs and PSVs worldwide and in Brazil. DESS's operations have traditionally been managed by the Board of Directors by reviewing information by area of operation; and by type of vessel (AHTS, PSV).

On 31 May 2013 DESS disposed 50% of its Brazilian operation (see note 30). A gain of US$82.356 was recognized on the sale. In the income statement the gain has been presented as discontinued operation; while for segment reporting the gain has been presented in gain on sale

Management continues to review detailed information about its operations in Brazil as for all other Group operations and as such segment reporting is presented as follows:

  • Without taking into consideration the impact of presentation for discontinued operations and therefore adding discontinued operations line by line, facilitating comparison with previous periods; however by taking into consideration the non depreciation of vessels since classified as held for sale for consistency to presentation in the primary statements.

  • By removing the impact of equity accounting for the joint venture and by adding line by line the proportion of Deep Sea Supply participation (alike proportionate consolidation) in the Joint Venture in the income statement; balance sheet; and cash flows.

The chief decision maker of the Group is the board of directors

Impairment of vessels

The Group performs an impairment test when there are indicators for impairment in accordance with the relevant accounting policy. The Group compares the carrying amount of the vessels with the recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the value-in-use calculation. Management estimates the fair value less costs to sell by obtaining third party professional valuations for all vessels from two different valuers and calculating the average.

The market values of the vessels were lower than value-in-use calculations due to the fact that the market values are affected by the current market conditions which are characterized by a low number of transactinos and distressed sales.

The recoverable amounts of the vessels has been determined based in value in use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management and past performance.

An impairment charge of USD 13,903 arose for vessels of the Group resulting in the carrying amount of the vessels being written down to their recoverable amounts.

The recoverable amounts of the impaired vessels are as follows:

Vessel Name Recoverable amount
______________________________________Sea Bear 20 182
Sea Eagle 32 486
Sea Trout 21907

For each of the vessels with fair value less costs to sell lower than the book value, value in use calculations were performed. The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations are, utilization, daily income, daily operating expenses, growth/inflation rate and discount rate.

The assumptions for year end 31 December 2014 are as follows:

Utilization

For vessels on spot market, a utilization of 50% to 66% was used for the whole useful life of the vessel based on its past performance.

For vessels currently on contracts 97% utilization was used for the remaining period of the contract. From completion of the contract up to 2018 a utilization of 65% was assumed considering this period as gradual market recovery period, increasing to 75% for the remaining useful life reflecting the intention of management to keep the vessels on long term contracts.

Daily Income

The daily income of the vessels was based on past performance and financial budgets approved by management. It ranges from 19k USD for small AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels), 18k USD for PSVs (Platform Supply Vessels), 21k for large AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels)

The daily income is assumed to increase 2% annually based on current contracts terms, predictions for inflation and growth expectations.

Daily operating expenses

The daily expenses of the vessels were based on past performance and financial budgets approved by management. It is assumed nil for vessels on bareboat contracts (only for the duration of the contract). For the rest of the vessels it ranges from 6 USD to 9 USD. The daily operating expenses are assumed to increase 2% annually based on predictions for inflation.

Discount Rate

The discount rate used was 6.78% based on Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) calculations

28. Contingencies & commitments

Tax legislation

The Company is subject to taxes in several jurisdictions, where significant judgement is required in calculating the tax provision for the Company. There are many transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain and for which the Group makes provisions based on an assessment of internal estimates, tax treaties and tax regulations in the different countries where the Group is operating, and appropriate external advice. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the tax charge in the period in which the outcome is determined.

Operating leased commitments - Group as lessor

The future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable operating leases (mainly port infrastructure) are as follows:

Such cash flow valuation reflects the current 10w contract coverage, significant number of vessels in lay-up and a difficult market outlook.

The result of these tests shows an impairment of book values of USD 56.9 mill for the total fleet of the Group on a consolidated basis. Following the impairment, book value of the fleet was USD 462.9 mill by the end of 2015 compared to USD 541.5 mill by the end of 2014.

Impairment of investment in Joint Venture (DESS BTG)

When assessing the recoverability of the investment, the Company took into account the going concern uncertainties surrounding DESS BTG. DESS BTG is in a challenging financial position, and the Company has assessed the recoverable amount of the investment in two possible outcomes; one with DESS BTG on a going concem basis and ono with DESS BTG on a not going concem basis. The management has allocated a weight to each scenario and the result was to write down the investment in DESS BTG to USD 31.637 mill (2014: USD 115.718 mill) as presented in the balance sheet and in the notes of the financial statements. The Company has allocated 50% to each scenario to reflect the current expectations, as allocating 100% to the going concern would not be allowed until the Company has a formal agreement with the lenders. The dialogue with the banks is positive and well progressed but no formal agreement has been reached yet. The effect of the not going concern scenario is an impairment as presented in the consolidated income statement of USD 30.894 mill (2014: USD 0).

Dividend policy

Due to the uncertain market outlook in the oil service and offshore supply market, the Board of Directors decided to be cautious and not to distribute any dividend to shareholders in relation to 2015.

Balance sheet

Total assets as per 31.12.2015 were USD 616.2 mill consisting mainly

of the book value of vessels and the investment in DESS BTG. Cash and cash equivalents at year-end were USD 74.2 mill.

Trade and other receivables

Total receivables from customers were USD 10.0 mill.

Financing - Bank facilities

In November 2011, the Company reflnanced its senior loan facility with a syndicate consisting of leading international shipping banks. The loan has a repayment profile of 18 years for the new vessels, 14/15 years for the 2007/2008-built vessels and 7 years for the 1998/1999-built vessels. The senior loan facility is secured with a 1 s priority mortgage in the flnanced vessels. This facility originally included 15 vessels, ofwhich 9 were sold to DESS BTG in 2013. These 9 vessels were carved out from the existing 15 vessel facility to a new facility, keeping both profile and remaining term from existing facility. As per year-end 2015, USD 73.3 mill was outstanding under the original facility, now including only 6 vessels

In addition, the Company also has a separate loan agreement secured with 1 s priority mortgage in the vessel 'Sea Eagle 1". This loan was drawn in February 2010 and by the end of 2015 USD 10.8 mill was outstanding. The loan has a 12 years repayment profile. In February 2015, the maturity has been extended to November 2016.

As per 31 December 2015, total outstanding loan was USD 68.4 mill.

For 2 vessels of PX 105 design delivered from Sinopacific shipyard, a USD 44.5 mill loan agreement with 29.5 year repayment profile and a 5 year term was agreed. As per 31 December 2015, total outstanding loan was USD 42.3 mill.

Equity

Shareholders' equity at the start of 2015 was USD 443.1 mill. At the end of 2015 the Group's equity was USD 291.6 mill. The decreased equity is mainly caused by the impairment of book value of the vessels of the Group and of DESS BTG and of the investment in DESS BTG.

Hemen Holding Limited is the Company's largest shareholder and holds 35.1% of the Company's shares.

Lipuidity

Total current assets at year end were USD 108.0 mill and short term liabilities (including short term portion of long term debt) was USD 104.7 mill.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the Group are disclosed in Notes 3, 4 and 28 of the financial statements.

Health, safety and environment

By year end 2015, the Group's on-shore staff was to 77 employees woild-wide (induding all onshore employees in Brazil). The working environment is considered good and all employees are encouraged to participate in the development of his/her position and in the development of the Group.

Out of the 77 employees are 52 male and 25 female. The Group treats men and women equal in the recruitment processes.

Emphasis is made on professionalism and adherence to national and international laws and regulations by the suppliers delivering services to the Group. Efforts and initiatives to reduced accidents and pollution to the environment are compulsory.

The Group's vessels are engaged in sea transportation and hence at risk related to pollution of the environment. The fleet is modem with an average age of 6.1 years, and all the vessels are in compliance with requirements issued by regulatory bodies and the risk of pollution is hence viewed as limited.

The Group's shore based activities are considered environmental fnendly and normal for this type (office) activity.

Changes in the Board of Directors in 2015

All members of the Board of Directors had their term expiring in 2015, and Chairman Mr. Harald Thorstein and Mr. Hans Petter Ass were re-elected for a 2 year period. Ms. Kathrine Fre-

driksen was re-elected as Altemate Director for the same period. Mr. Neofytos Neofytou was elected as memberofthe Board of Directors for a period of 2 years from May 2015.

There were no changes to the responsibilities of the Board of Directors in 2015. Remuneration to the Board is described in Note 24 of the consolidated financial statements.

Future outlook

During 2015 the Group saw a continued weakening of the global OSV markets. In Brazil, the situation remains difficult with reduced activity and foreign flagged vessels being blocked by vessels with local flag. The North Sea spot market is challenging with unsustainable rate levels and 10w utilization. No improvement in the market situation for OSVs is expected in the short to medium term. Following the sale of two AHTS vessels, the Group has no vessels in the North Sea spot market. The contract coverage for 2016 for the Group is not satisfactory. DESSC is currently pursuing several term opportunities, however the cornpetition is fierce and rate levels are low.

As a consequence of the weak market, Deep Sea Supply will continue to lay up vessels that do not have any fixed activity the next months. In addition to laying up vessels to reduce cost, the management is working hard to further reduce operating expenses for the vessels in operation.

The 50% owned company DESS BTG, which own 21 vessels, is in a challenging financial position with a significantly reduced contract backlog following the expiry of many term charters without new contracts being entered into. The cash position was USD 25.7 mill end of 2015, and the DESS BTG companies are dependent on certain adjustments of their financial obligations going forward. Such discussions with the banks have been initiated and are progressing well. The financing of DESS BTG is non-recourse to Deep Sea Supply PIc except to a financial guarantee provided as disclosed in Nato 30 of the consolidated financial statements

The Board is pleased that the Company has been able to strengthen its balance sheet and build us cash position through 2015.

Corporate Governance

The Company's principles for Corporate Governance are reported in a separate section of the Annual Report.

"Sea Lynx" was 100% owned by the Company, while "Sea Bear" was owned by Ship Finance International Ltd ("SF1") and leased to the Company under a 12 year sale and leaseback agreement entered into in 2008. Following the sale of "Sea Lynx" and the terrnination at the sale and leaseback agreement with SF1 for "Ses Bear", the Company's loans are reduced by USD 21.9 mill and the cash reduced by USD 6.6 mill.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

As of the date of the authorisation of the financial statements, all International Financial Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) that are effective as of 1 January 2015 have been adopted by the EU through the endorsement procedure established by the European Commission.

2.1 Statement of compliance and basis of preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with, and comply with, International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') as adopted by the European Union ('EU') and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Gap. 113.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities, including derivative instruments at fair value through profit or loss. A summary of the principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. Refer to Note 31 for disclosures in relation to the change of accounting policy to consolidated income statement.

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

Adoption of new and revised IFRSs

New and amended standards adopted by the Group During the current year the Group adopted all the new and revised IFRS as adopted by the EU that are relevant to its operations and are effective for accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2015.

The new standards did not have a significant effect on the Group's financial statements.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted by the Group At the date of approval of these financial statements a number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2015, and have not been applied in prepanng these financial statements.

IFRS 9 'Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement" *(issued in July 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018). Key features of the new standard are:

i. Financial assets are required to be classified into three moasurement categories: those to be measured subsequently at amortised cost, those to be measured subsequently at

fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) and those to be measured subsequently at fair value through profit or loss (FVPL).

  • Classiflcation for debt instruments is driven by the entity's business model for managing the financial assets and whether the contractual cash fiows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI). If a debt instrument is held to collect, it may be carried at amortised cost If it also meets the SPPI requirement. Debt instruments that meet the SPPI requirement that are held in a portfolio where an entity both holds to collect assets' cash fiows and sells assets may be classified as FVOCI. Financial assets that do not contain cash fiows that are SPPI must be measured at FVPL (for example, derivatives). Embedded derivatives are no longer separated from financial assets but will be included in assessing the SPPI condition.
  • Investments in equity instruments are always measured at fair value. However, management can make an irrevocable election to present changes in fair value in other comprehensive income, provided the instrument is not hold for trading. If the equity instrument is held for trading, changes in fair value are presented in profit or loss.
  • iv. Most of the requirements in lAS 39 for classification and measurement of financial liabilities were carried forward unchanged to IFRS 9. The key change is that an entity will be required to present the effects of changes in own credit risk of financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss in other comprehensive income.
  • IFRS 9 introduces a new model for the recognition of impairment losses - the expected credit losses (ECL) model. There is a 'three stage' approach which is based on the change in credit quality of financial assets since initial recognition. In practice, the new rules mean that entities will have to record an immediate loss equal to the 12-month ECL on initial recognition of financial assets that are not credit impaired (or lifetime ECL for trade receivables). Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk, impairment is measured using lifetime ECL rather than 12-month ECL. The model indudes operational simplifications for lease and trade receivables.
  • vi. Hedge accounting requirements were amended to align accounting more dosely with risk management. The standard provides entities with an accounting policy choice between applying the hedge accounting requirements of IFRS 9 and continuing to apply lAS 39 to all hedges because the standard currently does not address accounting for macro hedging.

The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions - Amendments to lAS 19 (issued in November 2013 and effective for annual periods beginning I February 2015). * The amendment allows entities to recognise employee contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the penod in which the related employee service is rendered, instead of attributing the contributions to the periods of service, if the amount of the employee contributions is independent of the number of years of service. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Annual lmprovementsto IFRSs 2012 (issued in December 2013 and effective from the commencement dato of its first financial year starting on or after I February 2015). The improvemonts consist of changes to seven standards. IFRS 2 was amended to darify the definition of a vesting condition' and to define separately 'performance condition' and service condition'; The amendment is effective for share-based payment transactions for which the grant date is on or after 1 July 2014.IFRS 3 was amended to clarify that (1) an obligation to pay contingent consideration which meets the definition of a financial instrument is ciassified as a financial tiability or as equity, on the basis of the definitions in lAS 32, and (2) all non-equity contingent consideration, both financial and non-financial, is measured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognised in profit and loss. Amendments to IFRS 3 are effective for business combinations where the acquisition date is on or after i July 2014. IFRS 8 was amended to require (1) disclosure of the judgements made by management in aggregating operating segments, including a description of the segments which have been aggregated and the economic indicators which have been assessed in determining that the aggregated segments share similar economic characteristics, and (2) a reconciliation of segment assets to the entity's assets when segment assets are reported. The basis for conclusions on IFRS 13 was amended to clarify that deletion of certain paragraphs in lAS 39 upon publishing of IFRS 13 was not made with an intention to remove the ability to measure short-term receivables and payables at invoice amount where the impact of discounting is immaterial. lAS 16 and lAS 38 were amended to clarify how the gross carrying amount and the accumulated deprociation are treated where an entity uses the revaluation model. lAS 24 was amended to include, as a related party, an entity that provides key management personnel services to the reporting entity or to the parent of the reporting entity (the management entity'), and to require to disclose the amounts charged to the reporting entity by the management entity for services provided. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Accounting for Acquisitions of lnterests in Joint Operations - Amendments to IFRS 11 (issued on 6 May 2014 and effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016*). This amendment adds new guidance on how to account for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation that constitutes a business. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on

its financial statements.

Clarification ofAcceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation - Amendmentsto lAS 16 and lAS 38 (issued on 12 May 2014 and effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016*). In this amendment, the IASB has clarified that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation of an asset is not appropriate because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (issued on 28 May 2014 and effective for the periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018)*. The new standard introducos the coro principle that revenue must be recognised when the goods or services are transferred to the customer, at the transaction price. Any bundled goods or services that are distinct must be separately recognised, and any discounts or rebates on the contract price must generally be allocated to the separate elements. When the consideration varies for any reason, minimum amounts must be recognised if they are not at significant risk of reversal. Costs incurred to secure contracts with customers have to be capitalised and amortised over the period when the benefits of the contract are consumed. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Sale or Contribution ofAssets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture - Amendments to IFRS 10 and lAS 28 (issued on 11 September 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. EU endorsement has been postponed; awaiting IASB developments)*. These amendments address an inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 and those in lAS 28 in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture. The main consequence of the amendments is that a full gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves a business. A partial gain or loss is recognised when a transaction involves assets that do not constitute a business, even if these assets are held by a subsidiary. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Annual lmprovements to lFRSs 2014 (issued on 25 September 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after i January 2016*). The amendments impact 4 standards. IFRS 5 was amended to clarify that change in the manner of disposal (reciassification from "hold for sale" to "hold for distribution" or vice versa) does not constitute a change to a plan of sale ore distribution, and does not have to be accounted for as such. The amendment to IFRS 7 adds guidance to help management determine whether the terms of an arrangement to service a financial asset which has been transferred constitute continuing involvement, for the purposes of disclosures required by IFRS 7. The amendment also clarifies that the offsetting disclosures of IFRS 7 are not specifically required for all interim periods, unless required by lAS 34.The amendment to lAS 19 clarifies that for post-employment benefit obligations, the decisions regarding

discount rate, existence of deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, ar which government bonds to use as a basis, should be based on the currency that the liabilities are denominated in, and not the country where they anse. lAS 34 will require a cross reference fram the interim financial statements to the location of inforniation disclosed elsewhere in the interim financial report". The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Disclosure Initiative Amendments to lAS I (issued in December 2014 and effective for annual periods on or after 1 January 2016)*. The Standard was amended to clarify the concept of materiality and explain that an entity need not provide a specific disclosure required by an IFRS if the information resulting from that disclosure is not material, even if the IFRS contains a list of specific requirements or describes them as minimum requirements. The Standard also provides new guidance on subtotals in financial statements, in particular, such subtotals (a) should be comprised of line items made up of amounts recognised and measured in accordance with IFRS; (b) be presented and labelled in a manner that makes the line items that constitute the subtotal clear and understandable; (c) be consistent from period to period; and (d) not be displayed with more prominence than the subtotals and totals required by IFRS. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

IFRS 16 'Leases" (issued in January 2016 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after i January 2019)*. The new standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. All leases result in the lessee obtaining the right to use an asset at the start of the lease and, if lease payments are made over time, also obtaining financing. Accordingly, IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases as either operating leases ar finance leases as is required by lAS 17 and, instead, introduces a single lessee accounting model. Lessees will be required to recognise: (a) assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value; and (b) depreciation of lease assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. IFRS 16 substantially carries forward the lessor accounting requirements in lAS 17. Accordingly, a lessor continues to classify its leases as operating leases or finance leases, and to account for those Mo types of leases differently. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Recognition of Deferred TaxAssets for Unrealised Losses - Amendments to lAS 12 (issued in January 2016 and effective for annual periods beginning on ar after i January 2017). The amendment has clanfied the requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealised losses on debt instruments. The entity will have to recognise deferred tax asset for unrealised losses that anse as a result of discounting cash fiows of debt instruments at market interest rates, even if it expects to hold the instrument to maturity and no tax will be payable upon collecting the principal amount. The economic benefit embodied in the deferred tax asset anses from the ability of the holder of the debt instrument to achieve future gains (unwinding of the effects of discounting) without paying taxes on those gains. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

Disclosure Initiative - Amendments to lAS 7 (issued on 29 January 2016 and effective for annual periods beginning on or after i January 2017) The amended lAS 7 will require disclosure of reconciliation of movements in liabilities arising fram financing activities. The Group is currently assessing the impact of the amendments on its financial statements.

*denotes standards, interpretations and amendments which have not been endorsed by the European Union.

The Board of Directors assesses the impact of new standards and interpretations at the point when these are endorsed by the European Union. As a result the impact of the new standards and interpretations that have not been endorsed by the European Union has not yet been assessed.

2.2 Consolidation

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated fram the date on which control is transferred to the group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases. The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisitionby-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest's proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquiree' s identifiable net assets.

Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. All intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated; unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, accounting policies for subsidiaries have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(b) Associates

Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control, generally accompanying a shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. lnvestments in associates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognised at cost, and the carrying amount is increased ar decreased to

recognise the investors share of the profit or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition. Dividends received or receivable from associates are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. If the ownership interest in an associate is reduced but significant influence is retained, only a proportionate share of the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income is redassified to profit or loss where appropnate.

The Group's share of post-acquisition profit or loss is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the carrying amount of the investment, When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise furiher losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognises the amount separately to 'share of profit/(Ioss) of an associate' in profit or loss.

Profits and losses resulting from upstream and downstream transactions between the Group and its associate are recognised in the Group's flnancial statements only to the extent of unrelated investor's interests in the associates. Unrealised losses are eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(c) Joint arrangement

Investments in joint arrangements are classified as eitherjoint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations each investor. The Group has assessed the nature of its joint arrangements and determined them to be joint ventures. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the group's share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. Dividends received or receivable from joint venture are recognized as a reduction in the carrying amount of the investment. When the group's share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the joint ventures), the group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the group's interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the

asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the JV is impaired. If this is the case, the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the JV and its carrying value and recognises the amount separately in the consolidated income statement.

2.3 Discontinued operations

An operation that has been disposed of (by a particular reporting date) or ciassified as held for sale at that point may be classifiod as discontinued even if the entity continues to operate in the same business segment, but withdraws from a geographical area. If a disposal group meets the discontinued operation criteria, the cashflows and results of the disposal group are presented as discontinued operations. Discontinued operations are presented in a separate part of the statement of comprehensive income. The figure presented is for the entire period and not the result sinco the operation was discontinued. The amount to bo disclosed is the entire post-tax result for the period plus any gain or loss on remeasurement/ disposal gain of assets or disposal groups. Hence, in the statement of comprehensive income each line item from revenue down to post-tax profit excludes discontinued operations. Discontinued operations held for sale are measured in the same way as other disposal groups, that is, at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to seil.

2.4 Underlying concepts

The flnancial statements are prepared on the going concern basis using accrual accounting.

Assets and liabilities and income and expenses are not offset unless spocifically permitted by an accounting standard.

Financial assets and financial IiabiIities are offset and the net amount reported only when a IegaIIy enforceable right to set off exists and the intention is either to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Changes in accounting policies are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions in the IFRS standards. If no such guidance is given, they are applied retrospectively, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case they are applied prospectively.

2.5 Recognition of assets

Assets are only recognized if they moet the dofinition of an asset, it is probable that future economic beriefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

2.6 Ciassification of assets

Assets intended for long-term ownership or use, are ciassified as non-current. Other assets are ciassified as current. Receivables due to be repaid within one year are classifled as current assets.

2.7 Use of estimates

The key sources of estimation of uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk for causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below in Note 4.

2.8 Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR) toan

The Group has applied for Mo Commercial Interest Reference Rate (CIRR) loans from the Norwegian Export Credit Agency in 2008. The duration of the loans may vary and the cash proceeds from the loans have been deposited in flxed deposit account with a Norwegian bank at a higher interest rate than that of the loans. The agreed period of the deposits is identical with the one of the loans. The loans and the interost thereof will be repaid from that account. At initial recognition the difference between the amounts received and fair value of the loan has been recognised as deferred gain and is amortised over the period of the life of the asset.

2.9 Segment reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decisionmaker. The chief operating decision-maker of the Group is its Board of Directors.

The components of the Group that management uses to make decisions about operating matters are the geographical region and the type of the vessel.

The Group is organized into main geographic regions; North Sea, Mediterranean, Africa, Australia/Far East and North & South America. The geographical segments are based on the location of the vessels.

The types of vessels are AHTS and PSVs.

Depreciation is allocated between the different segments based on number of days the vessels have been operated within the different segments.

2.10 Foreign currency translation

(a) Functional and presentatlon currency

Items induded in the financial statements of each of the Group's

entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency'). The consolidated financial statements are presented in USD, which is the Group's functional and presentation currency. All Group entities have the USD as their functional currency.

All amounts in these financial statements are in USD 1,000 unless otherwise stated.

(b) Transactions and baances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the profit ar loss.

2.11 Non-current assets and maintenance costs

Property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost, less subsequent depreciation and impairment. For vessels purchased, these costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis, taking residual values into consideration, and adjusted for impairment charges, if any. The carrying value of the fixed assets on the balance sheet represents the cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment charges.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as apprapriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

Day-to-day maintenance costs are charged to the profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred. The cost of major renovations and periodic maintenance of vessels are capitalized and depreciated over the useful lifetime of the parts replaced. The useful lifetime of regular vessels docking expenses will normally be the period until next docking which if it is an intermediate survey is after 30 months and if it is a special survey is after 60 months. When ships are acquired, a proportion of the acquisition cost is separated to periodic maintenance.

Depreciation on vessels and other assets (equipment) is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

- Vessels 30 years
- Vehicles 5 years
- Dry docking costs
• Intermediate survey 2.5 years
• Special survey 5 years
- Software licensos 3 years
- Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 years

The assets' residual values and useful lifetime assumptions of fixedassets are reviewed at each balance sheet date, and where they differ significantly from previous estimates, depreciation charges are changed accordingly.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the disposal proceeds with the carrying amount and are i ncluded in operating profit. For vessels under flnance sale and leaseback disposals the deferred gain is recognized fully into the profit and loss upon disposal.

2.12 Non-current assets (or disposal groups) held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are ciassified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to seil.

2.13 Newbuild contracts

InstalIments on new vessel contracts are presented as prepayments for vessels under construction in accordance with the terms of the vessel-contracts. The total acquisition cost includes the sum of installments payable plus direct costs incurred during the construction period.

Prepayments are carried at cost less provision for impairment. A prepayment is classified as non-current when the goods or services relating to the prepayment are expected to be obtained after one year, or when the prepayment relates to an asset which will itseif be ciassified as non-current upon initial recognition. Prepayments to acquire assets are transferred to the carrying amount of the asset once the Group has obtained control of the asset and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group. Other prepayments are written off to profit or loss when the goods or services relating to the prepayments are received. If there is an indication that the assets, goods or services relating to a prepayment will not be received, the carrying value of the prepayment is written down accordingly and a corresponding impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

2.14 Lease agreements

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement and requires an assessment of whether the fulfihlment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset.

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are ciassified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

In cases where the Group is the lessor in an operating lease, initial direct costs are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized as an expense over the lease term on the same basis as the lease income. Financial leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at fair value of the leased asset or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Lease payments are apporboned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in borrowings. Finance charges are charged directly to financial expenses.

Capitalized leased assets are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term.

In a sale and finance leaseback transaction any excess of sales proceeds over the carrying amount is deferred and recognized in the profit or loss over the lease term.

2.15 Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group determines whether there are indications that nonfinancial assets are impaired at each balance sheet date or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that might be impaired.. The carrying value of vessels are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable,The asset's cash generating ability either through use or sale is reviewed and compared to the asset's carrying value in the balance sheet. If the carrying value is higher, the difference must be written off as an impairment loss. Fair value reduced by estimated sales costs is the amount achievable on an arm's length sale to an independent third party. The recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to seil and is established individually for all cash generating units. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fiows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments at the time and the risk specific to the asset that is considered impaired.

For vessels that are held under a sale and finance leaseback arrangement that have a related carrying amount of a deferred gain as explained in 2.14 above, upon impairment the Group recognizes the impairment first within the unamortized part of the deferred gain for the same asset that is presented as a liability and any excess is charged to the profit or loss.

A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. Reversal of previously recognized impairment is limited

to the amount the carrying value of the asset would have been, had the initial impairment charge not token plaGe.

2.16 Financial assets

The Group ciassifies its financial assets in the foliowing categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available for sale. The dassification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

(a) Hnancial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trad ing, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principaily for the purpose of seiling in the short term or if so designated by management, and they meet cortain criteria (lAS 39.9).Derivatives are also categonized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be settied within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market and for which there is no intention of trading the receivable. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are classified as trade and other receivables', Ioans to related parties' and cash and cash equivalents' in the balance sheet.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Availabie-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category if they do not have fixed maturities and fixed or determinable payments and management intends to hold thom for the medium or long term or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet dato.

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or seil the asset. lnvestments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the profit or loss. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash fiows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Available-forsale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are carried at amontised cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from changes in the

fair value of the "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss" category are presented in the profit or loss within other (losses)/gains - net, in the period in which they anse. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the profit or loss as part of other income when the Group's right to receive payment is established.

(d) Held to maturity financial assets

Held to maturity investments are non derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group's management has the positive intention and abihty to hold to maturity that do not meet the definition of loans and receivables. During the year, the Group did not hold any investments in this category.

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

2.17 Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the dato a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognising the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Group designates certain derivatives as either: (1) hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or habihties or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); (2) hedges of a particulan risk associated with a recognized asset on liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge); or (3) hedges of a not investment in a foreign operation (not investment hedge).

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that ane used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values on cash fiows of hedged items.

The fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 8. Movements on the hedging reserve in other comprehensive income are shown in Statement of Changes of Equity. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that ane designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is necognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is necognised immediately in the profit on loss

within finance income ar finance costs respectively. When a hedging instrument expires ar is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no langer expected ta occur, the cumulative gain or lass that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the profit ar loss within finance incame or finance cost.

2.18 Inventories

Bunkers inventories are valued at the lower of histarical cost and net realisable value applying the FIFO (first-in, first-out) principle. Luboil inventories are valued using the weighted average valuation method.

2.19 Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able ta callect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default or delinquency in payments (more than 120 days overdue) are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash fiows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced thraugh the use of an allowance account.

2.20 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents, includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

2.21 Restricted cash

Restricted cash deposits comprise of funds held in separate Group bank accounts, which will be used to settie accrued taxation liabilities related to employee's tax deduction. Restricted cash are excluded from cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash fiows.

2.22 Share capita

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares ar options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, fram the proceeds.

Share premium is the difference between the fair value of the consideration receivable for the issue of shares and the nominal value of the shares. Share premium account can only be resorted to far limited purposes, which do not include the distilbution of dividends, and is otherwise subject to the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law on reductian of share capital.

2.23 Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amartised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemptian amount is recognized in the profit ar loss over the period of the borrawings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are dassified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet dato.

General and specific borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisitian, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income eamed an the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted fram the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation. All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit ar 1055 in the period in which they are incurred.

2.24 Trade payables

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.25 Taxation

Tax expense/income includes current taxes and the change in deferred taxes. Parts of the Group's activities within the Norwegian and the Cyprus subsidiaries are structured within the regulations for the Norwegian and the Cyprus Tannage Tax System for shipping companies, respectively.

The Group has estimated a tax rate of 0% for the Companies subject to the regulations of the shipping company regime. For all companies under this regime, the Group has estimated 0% deferred tax on temporary differences when entering the regime. For companies not included in the regime, and for taxable financial revenues in companies under the regime, the Group applies a tax rate of 27% for Norwegian companies and 12,5% for Cyprus companies. Tax expense/income includes current taxes and the change in deferred taxes.

Deferred incorne tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it anses from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither the accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined Using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be avallable against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and its probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

2.26 Bonus plans

The Group recognizes a liability and an expense within wages and salaries for bonuses, based on a formula that takes into consideration the performance of peer group companies. The Group recognizes a liability where contractual obligations exist or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

2.27 Share based payments

Employees of the Group receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments such as options to buy shares of the Company.

The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which the award is granted. The fair value is determined using appropriate valuation models.

The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in reserves within equity, over the vesting period which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period the entity revises the estimates of the number of options that are expectod to vest based on the non-market conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the ineome statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity.

Where the terms of the share option scheme is modified to be settled in cash rather than in equity instruments, the entity measures the liability initially using the modification date fair value of the equity-settled award, based on the elapsed portion of the vesting period. This amount is then recognized as a credit to liability and a debit to equity. Until the liability is settled it is re-measured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss.

2.28 Pensjon costs and obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a defined contribution plan.

Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation.

The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation. In countries where there is no deep market in such bonds, the rnarket rates on government bonds are used.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they anse.

Past-service costs are recognised immediately in income.

For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Group has no further payment obligations once the contributions have been paid. The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available.

2.29 Provisions

Provisions represent liabilities of uncertain timing or amount.

Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past event, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settie the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the nsks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

2.30 Revenue recognition

The Group's activity is chartering out different types of Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (AHTS's) and Platform Supply Vessels (PSV's).

Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods and services in the ordinary course of the Group's activities. Revenue is shown net of value-added tax, withholding tax, retums, rebates and discounts and after eliminated sales within the Group. Revenue is recognized as foliows:

Charter rate contracts

Charter contracts are ciassified as operating leases under lAS 17. Revenue derived from charter contracts is recognized in the period over the lease term on a straight line basis. Related services are recognized as revenue in accordance with the services being rendered.

Vessels without signed contract in place at discharge have no revenue before a new contract is signed. Charter related expenses incurred for vessels in the idle time are expensed. Revenues from time charters and bareboat charters accounted for as operating leases are recognized over the rental periods of such charters, as service is performed on a straight line basis.

Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Group reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flow discounted at original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired loans is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

Dividend income

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

2.31 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Group's financial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders until payment is made.

2.32 Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profitlloss for the Company by the average weighted number of outstanding shares over the period in question. Diluted earnings per share

include the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments such as stock options.

2.33 Statement of cash flow

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

2.34 Insurance claims receivables

lnsurance claims receivables fall into two categories, Loss of Hire (LOH) and Hull and Machinery (H&M).

Loss of hire pertains to claims made when a technical issue prevents the vessels ability to go onhire.

Hull and machinery pertains to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred to repair the problem. There is an element ofjudgment when deciding which expenses can be claimed and whether it is virtually certain that the amounts will be recovered but the Group follows the policies and the advice of external consultants before submitting any claim.

Loss of hire claims receivables are calculated and booked as number of days that the vessel is unable to go onhire times the daily rate as per LOH insurance policy.

Hull and machinery is booked as actual expenses incurred to repair the problem less insurance deductible amount as per H&M insurance policy.

2.35 Financial guarantees

Financial guarantees are contracts that require the Company to make specified payments to reimburse the holder of the guarantee for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantees are initially recognized at fair value, which is normally evidenced by the amount of fees received. This amount is amortised on a straight-line basis over the life of the guarantee. At the end of each reporting period, the guarantees are measured at the higher of (i) the remaining unamortised balance of the amount at initial recognition and (ii) the best estimate of expenditure required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period.

2.36 Assets Acquisition

For acquisitions not meeting the definition of a business under IFRS 3 'Business Combinations", the Group recognises the individual identifiable assets and liabilities acquired at their fair values on the date of acquisition. The cost of the transaction is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values at the date of purchase. No goodwill anses on the transaction.

3. Financial risk management

3.1 Financial risk factors

The Group's normal business activities expose it to a variety of financial nsks. Financial market risk is the possibility that fluctuations in currency exchange rates, interest rates and freight rates in particular will affect the value of the Group's assets, liabilities or future cash flow. The Group has formulated a finance strategy where certain basic targets and policies are made for value adjusted equity (note 3.2), required Iiquidity, exchange rates, interest rates, funds management etc.

To reduce and manage these risks, management daily reviews and assesses its primary financial and market risks. Once risks are identified, appropriate action is taken to mitigate the specific risk. Financial derivatives are used for hedging purposes in order to mitigate financial risks and only well understood conventional derivatives are used. Financial derivatives are entered into with our main banks which are highly rated financial institutions. The Group use derivatives in order to manage risks associated with interest rate and currency.

Foreign exchange risk:

The Group's functional currency is USD. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risks arising from various currency exposures primarily with respect to Euro (EUR), UK Pounds (GBP), Brazilian Reals (BRL), Singapore dollar (SGD) and Norwegian kroner (NOK). Foreign exchange risks anse from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities. The Group had in 2015 and 2014 mainly USD, EUR, GBP,BRL and NOK revenues and mainly USD, BRL, SGD and NOK expenses. lmbalances between revenues and costs are often managed using forward currency contracts. The table below shows the impact on profit before tax as a consequence of an increaseldecrease in the various exchange rates;

2015 +1-10% +/-619
2014 +1-10% +1- 305

Credit risk

The Group trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. For banks and financial institutions, only credit worthy institutions are chosen. Receivablo balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Group's exposure to bad debt is not significant. Below, we present a table showing the concentration risks for 2015 and 2014:

Other information on the credit quality of the financial assets is presented in Note 23.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The Group's exposure to the risk of market interest rates are mainly related to the Group's long term debt obligations and loans receivables with floating interest rates. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash held at variable rates. Bonowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. Depending on the development of and on internal analyses of the interest rate market, the Group enters into various interest rate contracts to alter the ratio of fixed rate to floating rate debt and vice-versa

As of 31 December 2015 and 2014, after taking into account the effect of the interest rate swaps, approximately 28% and 30% respectively of the interest bearing debt was fixed through interest rate SWAP agreements.

Interest rate risk table:

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held constant, of the Group's profit before tax..

Liquidity risk

The Group monitors its risk to a shortage offunds by ciosely monitoring the projected cash flow from operations, financial expenses, its capital expenditure program related. The Group maintains sufficient cash for its daily operations via short term cash deposits at banks. The table below analyses the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis iftheir contractual matunties are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash fiows. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash fiows; (all numbers in USD 1,000).

The liquidity effects of the CIRR loan are excluded from the above table as the cash outflows from the maturity of the loans are matched with the cash inflows from the maturity of the CIRR deposit account, and thus the Group is not exposed to liquidity risk in this respect.

The Group has issued guarantees in relation to a bank loan drawn by a joint venture entity (Note 30(b)). The Group's commitments are disclosed in Note 28.

3.2 Capital risk management

The Group's objective is to actively pursue an optimal financing of its feet at any time for the purposes of providing good return to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders, to aim at 10w cost of capital and at the same time secure the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. In the shipping and offshore industry, emphasis in made on Value Adjusted Risk Capital. A certain minimum Value Adjusted Risk Capital is often used as one financial covenant by financial institutions. The main source of financing of the Group is Senior Bank Loans from international banks which are long term players in the shipping and offshore business segments. The Group believes in building and maintaining long term relationships with these financial institutions and has pursued this strategy since the Group was founded. Bank loan financing has been combined with a specially structured sale and leaseback transaction for (currently) I vessel owned by the Group. The sale and leaseback transaction is designed to withstand possible drops in the market by having fewer and leaner financial covenants compared to the senior bank loan facility. The Group's Management considers the combination of senior bank loans and sale and the leaseback transaction as an effective and flexible way to finance the Group's feet at an acceptable cost. The Value Adjusted Risk Capital, for the Group (including 50% of DESS BTG), by year end 2015 and 2014 is presented in table below

(all numbers are in LJSD million) Year end 2015 Year end 2014
Total value adjusted assets (*) 833 1,012
Total debt (**) 523 577
Value Adjusted Risk Capital 310 or 37% of totalvalue adjusted assets 435 or 43% of totalvalue adjusted assets

(*) Adjustment of total assets relates to the replacement of book values of the vessels with the market values and replacement of the cost of Investment in Joint Venture with the market values of the vessels of the Joint Venture group. The market values obtained from two independent brokers on a charter-free basis.

(**) Excluding deferred gain

During the year the Group has complied with all externally imposed capital requirements.

3.3 Fair value estimation

The table below analyses financial instruments camed at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as follows:

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

The foliowing table presents the group 's assets and liabilities that are measurest at fair value at 31 December 2015:

Liabilities Level I Level 2 Level 3 Total
Derivatives used for hedging 221 221
Total liabilities 221 221

The foliowing table presents the group 's assets and liabilities that are measurest at fair value at 31 December 2014

Assets Level I Level 2 Level 3 Total
Derivatives 143 143
Total assets 143 143
Liabilities Level I Level 2 Level 3 Total
Derivatives used for hedging 386 386
Total liabilities 386 386

The financial derivatives are not traded in an active market and are thus included in level 2. The derivatives are used for economic hedging purposes. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximize the use of observable market data where is its available and rely as littie as possible on entity speciflc estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument re observable, the instrument is included in Level 2.

Specific valuation techniques used to value financial instruments include:

  • Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments.

  • Adjusted comparable price-to-book value multiples

  • 0ther techniques, such as discounted cash flow analysis.

4. Critical accounting estimates and judgments

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

4.1 Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

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

(a) lmpairment of Group's vessels

The Group performs an impairment test of its vessels when there are indicators for impairment in accordance with the relevant accounting policy. The Group compares the carrying amount of the vessels with their recoverable amount, being the higher of their fair value less costs to seil and their value-in-use. Management estimatos the fair value less costs to seil by obtaining third party professional valuations for

all vessels from Mo different independent valuers, by calculating the average and by adjusting to incorporate specific characteristics that market participants consider when pricing the asset, which include, but is not limited to, charter commitments and costs relating to reusing laid-up vessels.

In the current market for supply vessels the recoverable amount of the Group's vessels at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 was lower than balance sheet value for a number of vessels. An impairment charge of USD 56,897 (2014: USD 13,903) (Note 6) arose for vessels of the Group which was recognized in the consolidated income statement.

For the main assumptions used for the impairment testing of the vessels, please refer to Note 6.

A 10% change in the main assumptions used in the impairment testing of the vessels whose recoverable amount was based on their value in use would have the following effect on carrying amounts of vessels and profit for the year:

Decrease onof Vessels Carrying amount Decrease of profitfor the year
Year Ended 31 December 2015
10% decrease in utilization (or daily income) (7 047) (7 047)
10% increase in daily operating expenses (6931) (6931)
10% increase in discount factor (6 664) (6 664)
10% decrease in revenue growth (2 152) (2 152)

(b) Tax legislation

Tax legislation is subject to varying interpretations. Refer to Note 28.

(c) lnsurance claim receivables

At balance sheet date, the Group has booked USD 812 (2014: USD 1,370) as amounts recoverable from insurance companles. Such claims are filed following insurance policies and fall in two categories: Loss of hire and Hull & Machinery. Loss of hire pertains to claims made when a technical issue prevents the vessels' ability to be on hire. Hull & Machinery pertains to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred to repair the problem. There is an element of judgment when deciding which expenses can be claimed and whether it is virtually certain that the amounts will be recovered, but the Group follows the policies and the advice of external consultants before submitting any claim.

(d) Residual values and Useful economic Ilfe

The Group follows the guidance of lAS 16 on determining the useful economic life of its vessel. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the period over which an asset is oxpected to be available for use by an entity, which is based on management's intentions and past experience with similar assets. Furthermore management estimates the residual value of the vessels to be Nil as the seiling pnce is estimated to equal the selling/dismantling costs of the vessel at the end of its useful economic life.

(e) lmpairment of investment in Joint Ventures, impairment of loan receivable and financial guarantees

As at 31 December 2015, the Group has tested for impairment its net investment in its joint ventures ("JVs"), the loans receivable from the JVs and has assessed the fair value of the flnancial guarantees provided in relation to a bank loan of one of the JVs. As part of the application of the equity method of accounting the Group has recognised the share of its loss for the year from the JVs,

excluding deferred gain amortised, of USD69200 (2014:proflt USD1 ,243). The share of loss for the year from the JVs indude an amount of USD67316 (2014: USD1823) which relates to the Group's 50% share of the vessel impairment losses recognised in the JVs.This impairment testing of the vessels of the JVs was done in accordance with the Group's accounting policies on impairment and on the assumption that the JVs will continue to operate as a going concem.

After the application of the equity method of accounting the Group has also carried-out additional impairment testing on the not investment in the JVs in order to determine whether it is necessary to recognise any additional impairment loss at the investment level. This additional impairment testing was considered necessary due to the market conditions referred to in Note 28 (c) which particularly affected vessels operating in Brazil and the financiai performance of the JVs as well as due to the maturity of certain bank loans of the JVs during 2016 which have not yet been refinanced. The bank loans of the JVs which mature in 2016 and have not yet been refinanced as at the date of this report amount to USD93124.

The Management of the Group considers that uniess some actions are taken such as agreement with the banks for delay of loan instalments for an agreed period and/or flnancial support to the JVs by their shareholders, the JVs will not be able to meet their obligations towards the banks in the next 12 months and it is uncertain if the JVs will be able to continue their operations on a going concem basis.

The recoverable amount of the investment in the JVs was estimated as the higher of the foliowing:

  • The fair value less costs to seil of the investment was estimated using market multiples of listed companies and then applied a discount to reflect that the JVs are private entities and subject toadditional country-related risks.
  • The value in use was estimated using the weighted average of two scenarios on the expected cashflows from the JVs which were based on the Management's assessment on the probability of whether the JVs will be able to continue operating on a going concern basis or not. Currently negotiations are in progress between the management of the Group, the banks and the management of the JV partner to resolve the matter. The management of the Group has assessed that the probability of reaching a conclusion and the JVs will be able to continue as a going concern is 50% while the remaining 50% probability was assessed that the negotiations could fait and thus the JVs would not be able to continue as going concern.

The recoverable amount of the investment was calculated using the value in use estimates. The value in use estimates were estimated as foliows:

  • in the event where the negotiations are successful and the JVs wouid be able to continue on a going concern basis, the recoverable amount of the Group's investment in the JVs is estimated at USD62530 (50% probability). The expected cash-flows under this possibility were estimated using the same cash-flows used by the JVs to assess the impairment of their vessels.
  • in the event where the negotiations are unsuccessfui and the JVs would not be able to continue on a going concern basis, the recoverable amount of the Group's investment in the JVs is estimated at USD743 (50% probability). The expected cash-flows under this possibility were estimated using brokers valuations as at 31/03/2016 less a discount based on the age of the vessels in order to reflect the circumstances of a potential break-up sale. The Management has estimated the discount over the brokers vaiues depending on the age of the vessels as foliows:

Age of vessels (Years)

From To Discount
0 3 10%
3 7 10%
7 10 20%
10 15 25%
15 20 25%
20 30 50%

Further to the above, the weighted average recoverable amount of the investment in the JVs was estimated at USD31 ,637 and an impairment loss of USD30894 has been recognised in the consolidated income statement. No further impairment is estimated to be required in respect of the loans receivable from the JVs, amounting to USD 15,000 as at 31 December 2015, as the loans receivable have priority over the equity investment.

In addition, as disclosed in Note 30(b), the Group has provided a financial guarantee for the bank borrowings of Deep Sea Supply Navegaço Maritime Ltda, one of the JVs. The maximum exposure under this guarantee is the outstanding amount of the loan at year end amounting to USD 53,913. The bank borrowings are also secured by a first-priority mortgage over a vessel owned by this JV company. In addition BTG Pactual Group issued a counter indemnity in favor of the Company, whereby BTG Pactual Group indemnifies the Company for any claims exceeding 50% of the total liability under the guarantee given under the BNDES Facility. Taking into account the probability assessment above and the estimated value of the other securities over this bank loan, the Management does not expect a liability to anse to the Group in relation to this financial guarantee and estimates its fair value as insignificant.

Sensitivity analysis:

By applying different probabilities between the going concern and non-going concern status of the JVs, the impairment charge would be as foliows:

Going concern Not going concern Impairment
60% 40% 24715
70% 30% 18536
80% 20% 12357
40% 60% 37072
30% 70% 43251
20% 80% 49430

By applying a 50% increase on the discount based on the age of the vessels, the impairment charge of investment in JVs would amount to USD 31265. By applying a 50% decreaso on the discount based on the age of the vessels, the impairment charge of investment in JVs would amount to USD 23.297.

Under the above sensitivity analysis no further impairment would be recognised on the loan receivable from the JVs and the fair value estimate of the financial guarantee would be irisignificant.

4.2 CritiCaI judgments in applying the group's aCcounting poliCies

(a) Ciassification of sale and leaseback transaction

The Group's management has recognized the sale and leaseback transaction for six of its vessels in 2007/2008 in accordance with lAS 17 Leases" and SIC lnterpretation 27 "Evaluating the Substance ofTransactions Involving the Legal Form of Lease". Management has considered that the provisions of SIC 27 are not applicable however the Group has substantial risks and rewards incidental to ownership and the exercise of the option to purchase the vessels is considered to be almost certain. Foliowing this analysis the Group's management has concluded that the leaseback is a finance lease since it considers that the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership since it is reasonably certain that the Group will exercise the option to purchase the vessels. As a result of the above the Group has derecognized the vessels and has recognized them back at their fair value which was higher than the carrying amount. The gain has been deferred and is being amortised to the profit or loss over the lease term which is considered to bo 12 years (refer to the accounting policy on Lease agreements).

(b) Sale of Sea Bear and Sea Lynx

In February 2016, the vessel Sea Lynx and the flnance lease vessel Sea Bear were sold to a third party for a seiling price significantly lower than the fair value of these vessels, recognizing a loss in 2016 of USO 10,196 and USD 6,400 respectively. On the basis of management's judgement, this seiling price is not considered to be the fair value of the vessels as at 31 December 2015 as defined by IFRS 13, as the sale is assessed as a distressed sale since management agreed to seil these vessels at a significantly lower price than their brokers valuations in order to preserve the liquidity position of the Group. In this respect, the Management considers this transaction as non-orderly and the transaction price as outlier and hence the seiling price was not taken into account in the fair value considerations when estimating the recoverable amount of these and other vessels during their impairment assessment as at 31 December 2015.

(c) Going Concern basis

These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by ELI, on a going concern basis, which assumes the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors is confident that the Group will continue as a going concern and in making this judgment the Board considered the Group's financial position, current intentions, profitability of operations and access to financial resources, as weli as its analysis of the impact of

-'7

the ongoing conditions and uncertainties in the markets which the Group operates.

The Group incurred a nei loss of USD151 ,522. during the year ended 31 December 2015 and, as of that date, the Group's current liabilities totaled USD104.670 while its current assets totaled USD107969. When examining the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, the Board of Directors has considered the foliowing factors:

  • The Group's cash flow forecasts and projections which are used for managing Iiquidity indicate that the Group would be able to meet its short term obligations and contractual commitments in the foreseeable future.
  • The current liabilities include a payment related to the maturity of one of the bank borrowings in October 2016. The amount of those is USD 65,456. The Company is in progressed discussions with the banks on extending the maturities of these Ioans (beyond the end of 2016, thus making them long term). The maturing loan agreement was entered into in October 2011, and the October 2016 maturity foliows from the original 5 year term of the agreement. The Management is confident that with us historic successful track record in obtaining new flnance and reflnancing flnancial liabilities for the Group, the debt reflnancing process will be completed before October 2016.
  • The Group's management considers a variety of other factors and maintains fiexibility to take other steps to improve liquidity if needed, including control over discretionary spending, disposing of assets and monitoring of the economic conditions in the markets where the Group operates.

Taking into account the above, the Board of Directors has assessed that the going concern basis in preparing the consolidated financial statements is appropriate and that there is no material uncertainty over the basis of preparation in this respect.

5. Segment reporting

lmpairnient of vessels

The Group performs an impairment test when there are indicators for impairment in accordance with the relevant accounting policy. The Group compares the carrying amount of the vessels with the recoverable amount, being the higher of the fair value less costs to seil and the value-in-use calculation. Management estimates the fair value less costs to seil by obtaining third party professional valuations for all vessels from two different valuers and caiculating the average. and adjusting to incorporate specific characteristics that market participants consider when pricing the asset, which include, but are not limited to, charter commitments and costs reiating to lay-up vessels.

31 December 2015

The recoverable amounts of the vessels have been determined based on fair value less costs to seil for some vessels and value in use caicuiations for other vessels. The value in use caiculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by management and past performance. An impairment charge of USD 56,897 arose for 12 vessels of the Group resulting in the carrying amount of the vessels being written down to their recoverable amounts.

The impairment and recoverable amounts of the impaired vessels are as foliows:

For the vessels whose recoverable amounts were determined based on fair values less costs to seil, inputs from independent valuers were used (Note 3.3: Levei 2). The valuers determine the fair value based on the evaluation of comparable transactions; through an analysis of recent arm's length transactions of similar vessels (like dead weight, age, shipyards, ciass and other specifications) in the market. If there are no relevant transactions with comparable assets, such transactions wili normally be given significant weight in the valuation. Special circumstances relating to the transaction (forced sale etc.) may also be factors that are included in the assessment of the comparability of the transaction. Valuers have access to the bid I ask prices for each type of ship, the purchase - and sales mandates for individual ship-owners. Range of buy and seil mandates for each type of ship gives an indication ofwhat a price between a willing buyer and a wiliing seiler would be if the transaction is completed. For the vessels on iayup, on determining the fair value less costs to seil, estimated lay-up costs were deducted. For all vessels, a 1% cost to seil was also deducted. For the vessels whose recoverable

amounts were determined based on the Value in use calculations, the management of the Group has assumed a weak market for 2016-2018 and normalization of results from 2019 onwards. For vessels on layup the costs to bring back the vessel to operations was taken into account for the value in use calculations. The following key assumptions were used in the calculations:

Utilization

For vessels currently on layup, 0% utilization was assumed for years 2016 and 2017 increasing to 50%-75% from 2017 to 2018 depending on expectations of management on prospective jobs. For vessels currently in contracts 97%-100% utilization was assumed for the remaining period of the contract. From completion of the contract up to 2018 a utilization of 50%-73% was assumed. For vessels on spot market a 60% utilization was assumed for years 2016 to 2018. From 2019 and onwards a 75% utilization was assumed for all vessels.

Daily Income

The daily income of the vessels is based on current market conditions, expectations from management and financiai budgets approved by management. The average daily income for years 2016 to 2018 was USD 14 for time chartered AHTS, USD 11 for bareboated PSVs and USD 14 for time chartered PSVs. The average daily income for year 2019 is assumed to increase to USD 16 for time chartered AHTS and USD 19 for time chartered PSVs. The daily income is assumed to increase by 1% annually from 2020 onwards based on long-term growth expectations from management.

Daily oerating exoenses

The daily operating expenses of the vessels were based on past performance and financial budgets approved by management. It is assumed nil during bareboat contracts, and USD6-7 for vessels on layup. For the rest of the vessels it ranges from USD4 to USD 6. The daily operating expenses are assumed to increase 1% annually based on expectations of management.

Discount Rate

The discount rate used was 7.98% based on Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) calculations.

31 December 2014

The recoverable amounts of the vessels has been determined based in value in use calculations. These calculations use pre-tax cash flow projections based on flnancial budgets approved by management and past performance. An impairment charge of USD 13,903 arose for 3 vessels of the Group resulting in the carrying amount of the vessels being written down to their recoverable amounts.The impairment and recoverable amounts of the impaired vessels are as follows:

Recoverable Determined
Vessel Name Impairment amount based on ofvessel
Sea Bear (10 627) 20 182 Value in use AHTS
Sea Eagle (1 877) 32 486 Value in use AHTS
Sea Trout (1 399) 21 907 Value in use PSV
(13 903)

For each of the vessels with fair value less costs to seil lower than the book value, value in use calculations were performed. The key assumptions used in the value in use calculations are, utilization, daily income, daily operating expenses, growth/inflation rate and discount rate.

The assumptions for year end 31 December 2014 are as follows:

Utilization

For vessels on spot market, a utilization of 50% to 66% was used for the whole useful life of the vessel based on its past performance. For vessels currently on contracts 97% utilization was used for the remaining period of the contract. From completion of the contract up to 2018 a utilization of 65% was assumed considering this period as gradual market recovery period, increasing to 75% for the remaining useful life reflecting the intention of management to keep the vessels on long term contracts.

Daily lncome

The daily income of the vessels was based on past performance and flnancial budgets approved by management. It ranges from USD 19 for small AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels), USD 18 for PSVs (Platform Supply Vessels), USD 21 for large AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels)

The daily income is assumed to increase 2% annually based on current contracts terms, predictions for infiation and growth expectations.

Daily operating expenses

The daily expenses of the vessels were based on past performance and flnancial budgets approved by management. It is assumed

nil for vessels on bareboat contracts (only for the duration of the contract). For the rest of the vessels it ranges from 6 USD to 9 USD. The daily operating expenses are assumed to increase 2% annually based on predictions for infiation.

Discount Rate

The discount rate used was 6.78% based on Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) calculations.

For 2014 the weighted average fair value of the bonus payment granted during the period determined using the multi-dimensional Geometrical Brownian Motion Monte Carlo valuation model was USD 162 [NOK 1,2031 equivalentto 31% bonus payment. The significant inputs into the model were average volatility of the peer group of 33.5%, no dividend yield and an expected correlation matrix for the peer group between 0.88 and 1.00. The volatility of the peer group is measured at the standard deviation of continuously compounded share returns based on statistical analyses of daily share prices over the last two years.

28. Contingencies & commitments

(a) Tax legislation

The Group is subject to taxes in several jurisdictions, where significant judgement is required in calculating the tax provision for the Group. There are many transactions for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain and for which the Group makes provisions based on an assessment of internal estimates, tax treaties and tax regulations in the different countries where the Group is operating, and appropriate external advice. Where the final tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, such difference will impact the tax charge in the period in which the outcome is determined. The management estimates that no material liability will anse from uncertain tax positions.

(b) Operating leased commitments - Group as lessor

The future minimum lease payments receivable under non-cancellable operating leases (mainly port infrastructure) are as follows:

2015 2014
No later than 1 year 23 108 45 799
Later than I year and no later than 5 years 16 005 51 560
Later than 5 years
39113 97359

(c) Operating Environment of the Group

The demand for offshore supply vessels depends on the level of activity in the offshore oil industry, which is significantly affected by, among other things, volatile oil prices and may be materially and adversely affected by the current significant decline in prices. Declines in oil prices for an extended period of time could continue to negatively affect the Group's business; reduced demand for vessels which could result in vessels being idle for long periods of time and put in Iay-up.

Management believes that the market for OSV will become highly competitive in the short to medium term due to these events. Management estimates that the vessels put in lay will remain in this state until 2019 when the market is expected to recover.

The operating vessels are being marketed and the Group is actively participating in various tenders in order to secure employment of its vessels.

The Group's management has assessed:

(1) Whether recognition of impairment provisions are deemed necessary for the Group's vessels as explained in detail in Note 6; and (2) The ability of the Group and the Joint Venture of the Group to continue as a going concern as explained further in Note 4.

The Group's management is unable to accurately predict the future developments in the industry, and consequently, what effect, if any, they could have on the future financial performance, cash fiows and financial position of the Group.

The Group's management believes that it is taking all the necessary measures to maintain the viability of the Group and the development of its business in the current challenging business and economic environment.

(d) Financial guarantees

The Group has issed guarantees as described in Note 30(b).

29. Deferred gain on finance leased vessels

On 02 February 2015, DESS commenced proceedings in the High court of Singapore against Sea Weasel Ltd for unpaid management fees and disbursements.

The Group has recognized a 100% impairment on the investment in associate (Note 17) and has performed 100% provision on the receivable from Sea Weasel Ltd amounting to USD 300. The reason for the 100% write off is that Sea Weasel Ltd has secured loans against the one vessel it owns, and the estimated sale price of this vessel is not expected to cover more than that secured loan.

Due to the legal proceedings of DESS against Sea Weasel Ltd, no flnancial information was made available for year 31 December 2014.

The Company has issued a parent company guarantee for the obligations of Deep Sea Supply Navegacao Maritima Ltda under the BNDES Facility Agreement for the financing of Sea Brasil for a maximum amount of USD53,91 3 being the year end outstanding amount of the BNDES loan. The bank borrowings are also secured by a first-prioiity mortgage over a vessel owned by Deep Sea Supply Navegacao Maritima Ltda. BTG Pactual Group could not issue guarantees pursuant to internal restrictions, and was therefore not able to assume 50% of the guarantee obligations in connection with the establishment of the Joint Venture.

BTG Pactual Group has instead issued a counter indemnity in favour of the Company, whereby BTG Pactual Group indemnifies the Company for any claims exceeding 50% of the total liability under the guarantee given under the BNDES Facility. The Company still is the initial guarantor under the guarantee granted in favour of BNDES, and in the event BTG Pactual Group is not able to fulfil its obligations under the counter indemnity guarantee, the Company will be responsible for the full guarantee amount If BNDES calls upon the guarantee, which may materially impact the financial condition of the Group. The obligations of BTG Pactual Group under the counter indemnity agreement are secured by way of a share pledge over shares in companies which are controlled by BTG Pactual Group. The Group is not expecting any financial impact from any of these guarantees (Note 4.1(e)).

Refer to Note 4.1(e) for impairment of investment in JV.

31. Change of presentation of consolidated income Statement

Management of the Group has decided to change the presentation of the Consolidated Income Statement using the nature of expenses method as compared to the function of expense method which was previously used. Management considers that presenting consolidated income statement by nature provides more reliable and relevant information to users about the Group's performance in current market conditions. The reason for the change of the presentation is that performance of the companies in the offshore supply sector is often evaluated by analysts and other interested parties through analysis of the financial figures arising from the nature of operations, such as for example EBITDA results. Because of this quarterly and other reporting to the market has always been based on presenting the consolidated income statement by nature. This change will achieve better consistency and comparability.

As a result of this change in the presentation of the Consolidated lncome statement the subtotals of the consolidated income statement 'Gross Profit' and 'Operating Profit' have been removed. The new sub-totals include 'Operating profil: before depreciation and Impairments (EBITDA)' ('EBITDA') and 'Operating Profit (EBIT)' ('EBIT'). EBITDA is defined as the earnings generated by the Group before the effect of financial income and expense, tax, depreciation and impairment and currency gains/losses. EBlT is defined as earnings generated by the Group before the effect of financial income and expense, currency gains/Iosses and tax.

The impact of the changes in the comparative information presented is as follows:

2. Accounting principles

2.1 Statement of complianCe and basis of preparation

The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as adopted by the European Union (ELI), and the requirements of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap. 113

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

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities, including derivative financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss.

Adoption of new and reviseci lFRSs

The adoption of new and revised IFRSs at i January 2015 did not have any material impact on the Company's separate financial statements.

At the date of approval of these financial statements a number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after i January 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the financial statements of the company, except the following set out below:

Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements - Amendments to lAS 27 (issued on 12 August 2014 and effective for annual periods beginning i January 2016*). The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements.

* Denotes standards, interpretations and amendments which have not yet been endorsed by the European Union.

The Company is assessing the impact of the amendment on its financial statements after its endorsement by the European Union.

2.2 Underlying ConCepts

The financial statements are prepared on the going concern

basis using accrual accounting. Assets and liabilities and income and expenses are not offset unless specifically permitted by an accounting standard.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported only when a legally enforceable right to set off exists and the intention is either to settie on a net basis or to realize the asset and settie the liability simultaneously.

Changes in accounting policies are accounted for in accordance with the transitional provisions in the IFRS standards. If no such guidance is given, they are applied retrospectively, unless it is impracticable to do so, in which case they are applied prospectively.

2.3 Investments in subsidiary undertakings

Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies.

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost and provision is only made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is impairment in their value.

2.4 Investments in Joint Ventures

The investment in joint venture has been initially recognized at the fair value of two entities (out of the threo that are subject to the joint venture agreement); the third one is held by a subsidiary of the Company. Investments in joint ventures are stated at cost and provision is only made where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is impairment in value.

2.5 Revenue reCognition

Dividend income

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

Interest income

Interest income is recognized on a time-proportion basis using the effective interest method. When a receivable is impaired, the Company reduces the carrying amount to its recoverable amount, being the ostimated fliture cash flow discounted at the original effective interest rate of the instrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interest income. Interest income on impaired !oans is recognized using the original effective interest rate.

2.6 ReCognition of assets and liabilities

Assets are only recognized if they meet the definition of an asset, it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost or fair value can be measured reliably.

2.7 Foreign exchange translation

(i) Functional and presentation currency

ltems included in the Company's financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates ("the functional currency"). The financial statements are presented in United States dollars (US$), which is the Company's functional and presentation currency. All amounts in these financial statements are in US$1 000 unless otherwise stated.

(il) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.

2.8 Financial assets

The Company ciassifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables, and available for safe. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the dassification of its financial assets at initial recognition and re-evaluates this designation at every reporting date.

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

This category has two sub-categories: financial assets held for trading, and those designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of seiling in the short term or if so designated by management, and they meet certain eriteria (lAS 39.9). Derivatives are also categorized as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assets in this category are classified as current assets if they are either held for trading or are expected to be realized within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The company did not hold any investments in this category.

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheet date. These are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are classified as 'trade and other receivables' and 'cash and cash equivalents' in the balance sheet.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Avallable-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The company did not hold any investments in this category.

Regular way purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, the date on which the Company commits to purchase or seil the asset. investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss, are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the nights to receive cash fiows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantiaily all nisks and rewards of ownership. Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequentiy carried at fair value. Loans and receivabies are carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the 'flnancial assets at fair value through profit or loss" category are presented in the income statement within other (losses)/gains - net, in the period in which they anse. Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the income statement as part of other income when the Company's right to receive payment is established.

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired.

2.9 Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequentiy remeasured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as either: (1) hedges of the fair value of recognized assets or liabilitios or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); (2) hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge); or (3) hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedge).

The Company documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash fiows of hedged items.

The fair values of various derivative instruments used for hedging purposes are disclosed in note 10. Movements on the hedging reserve in other comprehensive income are shown in Statement of Changes of Equity. The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining hedged item is more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months.

Cash flow hedge

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement within finance income or finance costs respectively.

When a hedging instrument expires on is sold, or when a hedge no longer moets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in the income statement. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occun, the cumulative gain or loss that was reported in equity is immediately transferred to the income statement within finance income or finance cost.

When the Company provides guarantees to parties outside the Group for any losses suffered in derivatives due to breach of contract, a provision is made for the fair value of the derivative when the loss becomes probable.

2.10 Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivaients, inciudes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

2.11 Share Capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Costs directly attnibutable to the issue of new shares on options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

Share pnemium is the difference between the fair value of the consideration receivabie for the issue of shares and the nominal value of the shares. Share premium account can only be resorted to for limited purposes, which do not include the distribution of dividends, and is otherwise sub]ect to the provisions of the Cyprus Companies Law on reduction of share capital.

2.12 Borrowings

Borrowings ane recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurned. Borrowings ane subsequently stated at amontized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption amount is recognized in the income statement over the peniod of the bonnowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditionai right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months atter the baiance sheet date.

General and specific borrowing costs dinectly attnibutable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale,

Investment income eamed on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation.

All other borrowing costs are recognised in profil: or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

2.13 Trade payables

Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequenhly measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

2.14 Taxation

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

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

Deferred income is recognized, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it anses from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects either accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profil: will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

2.15 Provisions

Provisions represent liabilities of uncertain timing or amount.

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past event, for

which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settie the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation.

Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settie the obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks speciflc to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense.

2.16 Dividend income

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

2.17 Dividend distribution

Dividend distribution to the Company's shareholders is recognized as a liability in the Company's flnancial statements in the period in which the dividends are approved by the Company's shareholders until payment is made.

2.18 Earnings per share

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the net profitlloss for the Company by the average weighted number of outstanding shares over the period in question. Diluted earnings per share include the effect of the assumed conversion of potentially dilutive instruments such as stock options.

2.19 Statement of cash fiows

The statement of cash fiows is presented in accordance with the indirect method.

2.20 Share based payments

Employees of the subsidiaries of the Company receive remuneration in the form of share-based payment transactions, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments such as options to buy shares of the Company. The cost of equity-settled transactions is measured by reference to the fair value at the date on which the award is granted. The fair value is determined using appropriate valuation models.

The cost of equity settied transactions is recognised as an expense, together with a corresponding increase in reserves within equity, over the vesting period which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At the end of each reporting period the entity revises the estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market conditions. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, If any, in the income statement, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. Whero the terms of the share

option scheme is modified to be settled in cash rather than in recognized as a credit to liability and a debit to equity. Until the equity instruments, the entity measures the liability initially using liability is settled it is re-measured at each reporting date with the modification date fair value of the equity-settled award, based changes in fair value recognized in profit and loss. on the elapsed portion of the vesting period. This amount isthen

3. Financial risk management

The Company's normal business exposes it to various financial risks.

3.1 Market risk

Currency rate risk

Ono risk is the foreign exchange risk. The Company is exposed to that risk mainly due to the amounts due to and from related parties. The main currencies that the Company is exposed to are Norwegian Kroner (NOK) and Euro (EUR). A variation of +1- 10% in the rate of exchange of USDINOK would affect the Company by USD 21 in 2015 (2014: USD 45). A variation of +1- 10% in the rate of exchange of USDIEUR would affect the Company by USD 22 in 2015 (2014: USD 8).

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk due to borrowings and cash at banks. The risk due to cash held at banks is immaterial as the Company does not intend to hold material liquid reserves in fixed deposits. The impact of interest rate fluctuations is USD 49 ifinterest rates fluctuate by +1-10 basis points (2014: USD 55)

Liquidity risk

The Company monitors its risk to a shortage offunds by closely monitoring the projected cash flow from operations, financial expenses and investment expenditure. The Company maintains sufficient cash for its daily operations via short term cash deposits at banks. The table below analyses the company's non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity grouping based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis if their contractual maturities are essential for an understanding of the timing of the cash fiows

3.2 Fair value estimation

The table below analyses financial instruments carned at fair value, by valuation method. The different levels have been defined as foltows:

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

3.3 Capital risk management

The Company's objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company's abitity to continue as a going concem in order to provide retums for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital stnicture to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or seIl assets to reduce debt.

Consistent with others in the industry, the Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divtded by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (induding 'cunent and non-current borrowings' as shown in the balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is calculated as equity' as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt.

The Gearing Ratios at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 were as follows

4. Critical Accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgments are continuatty evatuated and are based on historicat experience and other factors, i ciuding expectations of future events that are betieved to be reasonabte under the circumstances.

4.1 CritiCal accounting estimates and assumptions

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

a) lmpairment of subsidiaries

The Company performs an impairment test of its subsidiaries when there are indicators for impairment in accordance with the relevant accounting policy. Whon estimating the recoverable amounts of the subsidiaries the Management has considered the recoverable amounts of the underlying vessels owned by the subsidiaries.

For subsidiaries where the recoverable amount was estimated using value in use, the value in use of the investment was estimated based on the Company's share of the present value of the subsidiary's estimated cash fiows less the fair value of the outstanding debt. The key assumptions used for the value in use estimates was the utilisation rate, daily income, daily operating expenses and the discount rate.

For subsdiaries where the recoverable amount was estimated using fair value less costs to seil, the fair value was estimated based on the fair value of the underlying vessels less the fair value of the outstanding debil. The fair value of the underlying vessels was estimated by obtaining third party professional valuations from two different independent valuers, by calculating the average and by adjusting to incorporate speciflc characteristics that market participants consider when pricing the asset, which include, but is not limited to, capital commitments and costs relating to reusing laid-up vessels.

Based on the above, the recoverable amount of the Company's subsidiaries at 31 December 2015 and 31 December 2014 was iower than balance sheet value and an impairment charge of USD 114,232 (2014: USD 290,233)was recognised in the statement of comprehensive incomo as disclosed in Note 5.

A 10% change in the main assumptions used in the impairment testing of the subsidiaries whose recoverable amount was based on the value in use of the underlying vessels would have the foliowing effect on carrying amounts of subsidiaries and profit for the year:

Year Ended 31 December 2015 Decrease on Carrying amount of subsidiaries Decrease of profit for the year
10% decrease in utilization (or daily income) (7047) (7047)
10% increase in daily operating expenses (6931) (6931)
10% increase in discount factor (6 664) (6 664)
10% decrease in revenue growth (2 152) (2 152)
Year Ended 31 December 2014
10% decrease in utilization (or daily income) (5 132) (5 132)
10% increase in daily operating expenses (3 003) (3 003)
10% increase in discount factor (2 107) (2 107)
10% decrease in revenue growth (1 246) (1 246)

For the vessels for which the recoverable amount was based on fair value less costs to seil, a 10% decrease in the valuation of the brokers would have the foliowing effect:

Year Ended 31 December 2015 Decrease on Carrying amount of subsidiaries Decrease of profit for the year
10% decrease in brokers valuation (11 065) (11 065)
Year Ended 31 December 2014
10% decrease in brokers valuation (14 485) (14 485)

(b) lmpairment of investment in Joint Ventures and financial guarantees

As at 31 December 2015, the Company has tested for impairment its investment in its joint ventures ('JVs') and has assessed the fair value of the financiai guarantees provided in relation to a bank loan of one of the JVs.

As at the balance sheet date, an impairment testing was considered necessary due to the market conditions referred to in Note 19(a) which particularly affected vessels operating in Brazil and the flnancial performance of the JVs as well as due to the maturity of certain bank loans of the JVs during 2016 which have not yet been reflnanced. The bank ioans of the JVs which mature in 2016 and have not yet been refinanced as at the date ofthis report amount to USD 93,124.The Management of the Company considers that unless some actions are taken such as agreement with the banks for delay of loan instalments for an agreed period and/or financiai support to the JVs by their sharehoiders, the JVs will not be able to meet their obligations towards the banks in the next 12 months

and it is uncertain if the JVs will be able to continue their operations on a going concern basis. The matter is not concluded yet and its outcome is uncertain.

The recoverable amount of the investment in the JVs was estimated as the higher of the foliowing:

  • The fair value less costs to seil of the investment was estimated using market multiples of listed companies and then applied a discount to reflect that the JVs are private entities and additional country-related risks.
  • The value in use was estimated using the weighted average of two scenarios on the expected cashflows from the JVs which were based on the Management's assessment on the probability ofwhetherthe JVs will be able to continue operating on a going concern basis or not. Currently negotiations are in progress between the management of the Company, the banks and the management of the JV partner to resolve the matter. The management of the Company has assessed that the probability of reaching a conclusion and the JVs will be able to continue as a going concern is 50% while the remaining 50% probability was assessed that the negotiations couid fall and thus the JVs would not be able to continue as going concern.

The recoverable amount of the investment was calculated using the value in use estimates. The value in use estimates were estimated as follows:

  • In the event where the negotiations are successful and the JVs would be able to continue on a going concern basis, the recoverable amount of the Company's investment in the JVs is estimated at USD56770 (50% probability). The expected cash-flows under this possibility were estimated using the same cash-flows used by the JVs to assess the impairment of their vessels.
  • In the event where the negotiations are unsuccessful and the JVs would not be able to continue on a going concern basis, the recoverable amount of the Company's investment in the JVs is estimated at USD1 236 (50% probability). The expected cash-flows under this possibility were estimated using brokers valuations as at 31/03/2016 less a discount based on the age of the vessels in order to reflect the circumstances of a potential sale. The Management has estimated the discount over the brokers values depending on the age of the vessels as follows:

Age of vessels (Years)

From To Discount
0 3 10%
3 7 10%
7 10 20%
10 15 25%
15 20 25%
20 30 50%

Further to the above, the weighted average recoverable amount of the investment in the JVs was estimated at USD29003 and an i mpairment loss of USD162.967 has been recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

In addition, as disclosed in Note 14, the Company has provided a financial guarantee for the bank borrowings of Deep Sea Supply Navegaçåo Maritima Ltda, the JV company owned by one of the Company's subsidiaries. The maximum exposure under this guarantee is the outstanding amount of the loan at year end amounting to USD 53,913. The bank borrowings are also secured by a first-priority mortgage over a vessel owned by this JV company. In addition BTG Pactual Group issued a counter indemnity in favour of the Company, whereby BTG Pactual Group indemnifies the Company for any claims exceeding 50% of the total liability under the guarantee given under the BNDES Facility. Taking into account the probability assessment above and the estimated value of the other secunties over this bank loan, the Management does not expect a liability to anse to the Company in relation to this financial guarantee and estimates its fair value as insignificant.

Sensitivity analysis:

By applying different probabilities between the going concern and non-going concern status of the JVs, the impairment charge would be as follows:

Going concern Not going concern Impairment
60% 40% 157414
70% 30% 151861
80% 20% 146308
40% 60% 168521
30% 70% 174074
20% 80% 179627

1

By applying a 50% increase on the discount based on the age of the vessels, the impairment charge of investment in JVs would amountto USD 163,224. By applying a 50% decrease on the discount based on the age of the vessels, the impairment charge of investment in JVs would amountto USD 156161.

4.2 Critical judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies

(a) Going concern basis

The financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS, as adopted by EU, on a going concern basis, which assumes the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business within the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors is confident (hat the Company will continue as a going concern and in making this judgment the Board considered the Company's financial position, current intentions, profitability of operations and access to financial resources, as well as its analysis of the impact of the ongoing conditions and uncertainties in the markets which the Company operates.

The Company incurred a net loss of USD239697 during the year ended 31 December 2015 and, as of (hat date, the Company's current liabilities totaled USD53509 while its current assets totaled USD457.

\Nhen examining the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, the Board of Directors has considered the following factors:

  • The Company's cash flow forecasts and projections which are used for managing liquidity indicate (hat the Company would be able to meet its short term obligations and contractual commitments in the foreseeable future.
  • The current liabilities include a payment related to the maturity of one of the bank borrowings in October 2016. The amount of those is USD 48,630. The Company is in progressed diseussions with the banks on extending the maturities of these loans (beyond the end of 2016, thus making them long term). The maturing loan agreement was entered into in October 2011, and the October 2016 maturity follows from the original 5 year term of the agreement. The Management is confident that with its historic successful track record in obtaining new finance and refinancing financial liabilities for the Company, the debt reflnancing process will be completed before Octobor 2016.
  • -The Company's management considers a variety of other factors and maintains fiexibility to take other steps to improvo liquidity if needed, including control over discretionary spending, disposing of assets and monitoring of (ha economic conditions in the markets where the Company operates.

Taking into account the above, the Board of Directors has assessed that the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements is appropriate and that there is no material uncertainty over the basis of preparation in this respect.

5. Investment in subsidiaries

All subsidiaries are 100% owned.

* In 2014, PSV Holdings Inc was acquired from a related party as explained in Note 14. The impairment of this subsidiary represents dividends paid back to Deep Sea Supply Plc further to a restructuring of the assets of PSV Holdings Inc. after acquisition. Indications of impairment existed for the subsidiaries for which their net assets were lower than the carrying value recorded in the Company's financial statements. For the subsidiaries for which impairment indications were identified, management estimated their recoverable amount. All net assets with the exception of vessel costs were considered to be at fair value. The cost of vessels for the shipowning subsidiaries was replaced with the recoverable amount of the vessels and the revised net assets were then compared to the carrying value of the investment in subsidiaries. If the cost was higher than the estimated recoverable amount of subsidiaries then impairment was recognized, being the difference between the cost of investment and the recoverable amount.

19. Contigencies & commitments

(a) Operating environment of the Company

The Company's subsidaries and joint ventures are operating offshore supply vesselsThe demand for offshore supply vessels depends on the level of activity in the offshore oil industry, which is significantly affected by, among other things, volatile oil prices and may be materially and adversely affected by the current significant decline in prices. Declines in oil prices for an extended period of time could continue to riegatively affect the Company's business; reduced demand for vessels which could result in vessels being idle for long periods of time and put in Isy-up.

Management believes that the market for OSV will become highly competitive in the short to medium term due to these events. Management estimates that the vessels put in lay-up will remain in this state until 2019 when the market is expected to recover. The operating vessels are being marketed and the Company is actively participating in various tenders in order to secure employment of its vessels.

The Company's management has assessed:

  • (1) Whether recognition of impairment provisions are deemed necessary for the Company's shipwoning subsidiaries; and
  • (2) The ability of the Company and the Joint Venture of the Company to continue as a going concern as explained further in Note 4. The Company's management is unable to accurately prediet the future developments in the industry, and consequently, what effect, if any, they could have on the future financial performance, cash fiows and financial position of the Company. The Company's management believes that it is taking all the necessary measures to maintain the viability of the Company and the development of its business in the current challenging business and economic environment.

(b) Financial guarantees

The Company has issued a parent company guarantee for the obligations of Deep Sea Supply Navogacao Maritima Ltda under the BNDES Facility Agreement for the flnancing of Sea Brasil for a maximum amount of USD53,91 3 being the year end outstanding amount of the BNDES loan. The bank borrowings are also secured by a first-priority mortgage over a vessel owned by Deep Sea Supply Navegacao Maritime Ltda. BTG Pactual Group could not issue guarantees pursuant to internal restrictions, and was therefore not able to assume 50% of the guarantee obligations in connection with the establishment of the Joint Venture.

BTG Pactual Group has instead issued a counter indemnity in favour of the Company, whereby BTG Pactual Group indemnifies the Company for any claims exceeding 50% of the total liability under the guarantee given under the BNDES Facility. The Company still is the initial guarantor under the guarantee granted in favour of BNDES, and in the event BTG Pactual Group is not able to fulfil its obligations under the counter indemnity guarantee, the Company will be responsible for the full guarantee amount if BNDES calls upon the guarantee, which may materially impact the financial condition of the Company. The obligations of BTG Pactual Group under the counter indemnity agreement is secured by way of a share pledge over shares in companies which are controlled by BTG. The Company is not expecting any financial impact from any of these guarantees (Note 4.1(b)).

Financial Report

Deep Sea Supply P1c 2Q2016 Financial Report

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT

Deep Sea Supply ('DESS" or "Company") reports unaudited results for 2Q 2016.

2Q Highlights

  • Consolidated revenues of MUSD 11.6 and EBITDA of MUSD 1.3
  • Exc!uding non-recurring items, pre-tax profit was negative MUSD 13.2
  • Reported pre-tax loss of MUSD 30.8 includes extraordinary impairments ofbook va!ue of vessels of MUSD 17.6
  • Established a 50/50 owned aquaculture shipping joint venture with Marine Harvest
  • Secured new contracts for seven PSVs for a total firm period of 2,460 days combined

Subsequent events

  • Announced major amendments to financing terms and roll-up of the DESS BTG JV
  • DESS and Marine Harvest's joint venture entered into shipbui!ding contracts for two vessels firm with options for four more vessels
  • Secured new contracts for 1 AHTS and 2 PSVs

Comparing 2Q 2016 financial figures with 1Q 2016, revenues decreased by MUSD 4.9. The main reason for this was lower utilization due to vessels coming off long term charters not being replaced by new contracts and lower rates. The vessels' operating expenses decreased with MUSD 0.7 from 1Q 2016 to 2Q 2016, due to vessels being lald up, sale of two vessels in 102016 and also underlying cost reductions.

Reporting principles

The sale of 50% of DESS' Brazilian business took place in May 2013, when DESS established the company "DESS BTG", 50% owned by DESS and 50% owned by the Brazilian investment bank BTG Pactual. DESS BTG acquired 15 vessels operating in Brazil and 6 newbuilding PSVs from PSV Holding Inc.

For the vessels owned by DESS BTG, 50% of total figures are incorporated "line by line" in the statement of comprehensive income and balance sheet in the presentation of 202016 and this report from Board of Directors.

Balance sheet and impairment of book values

Vessel values received from shipbrokers as per 30 June 2016 have reduced further from end of 2015, and the corresponding result of the impairment testing according to IFRS, shows an extraordinary impairment of book values of MUSD 17.6 for the total fleet on a consolidated basis in 202016.

Following the impairment, book va lue of the fleet was MUSD 617.5 by the end of 202016 compared to MUSD 683.6 end of 40 2015. Total shareholder's book equity is MUSD 235.3 or 31.8%. Total number of outstanding shares in the Company was 261,197,194 at the end of the quarter.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operations was MUSD 9.5 for the six months period ended 30 June 2016. Capital expenditure related to scheduled special surveys and upgrading was limited to MUSD 1.1.

DESS Aquaculture Shipping AS

On 2 June 2016, Deep Sea Supply and Marine Harvest ASA (Marine Harvest) announced that they have established a 50/50 owned aquaculture shipping joint venture (the "iv') that is to build, own and operate aquaculture vessels. The iv represents a unique opportunity for Deep Sea Supply to capitalize on the Company's experience from the OSV sector to enter into a new and attractive market together with an industry leading partner. Subsequent to the establishment, the joint venture has entered into contracts for one 3,000 m3 well boat and one harvest vessel.

The wellboat is expected to have a delivery cost of MNOK 225, and represents substantial savings compared to contracting similar vessels from other aquaculture vessel providers. 100% of the expected delivery cost is payable on delivery, preserving DESS' liquidity. Upon delivery, the vessel will enter into a five year charter contract with Marine Harvest at terms reflecting a payback period of less than 7 years. The vessel will be managed by DESS and employed in Canada to support Marine Harvest's farming operations.

The harvest vessel is expected to have a delivery cost of MNOK 179 (net after receiving a MNOK 20 grant from lnnovation Norway) and will have an annual capacity to slaughter and transport approximately 40 000 GWT. With 10/10/80 payments terms, limited liquidity is needed prior to delivery. The harvest vessel will be managed by DESS and be chartered by Marine Harvest under a five year contract for Marine Harvest's farming operations in Region South in Norway. The contract terms are expected to be similar to the wellboat contract.

DESS Aquaculture Shipping has further options for three similar wellboats and one similar harvest vessel.

The Board is pleased to see that Marine Harvest and Deep Sea Supply have established an aquaculture shipping joint venture. The announced contracts of one wellboat and one harvest vessel represents the start of an important new venture for DESS. The long term strategy is to bulld the iV into an industry leading aquaculture company that will generate substantial cash flows to DESS.

OUTLOOK

During the second quarter of 2016 the oil price has remained low, and there are no signs of improvement of the fundamentals of the global OSV markets. The Company expects no improvement of the difficult market situation for OSvs in the short to medium term. In Brazil, the situation remains challenging, and the Company now has only 4 vessels left operating in Brazil. The North Sea spot market is challenging with unsustainable rate levels and low utilization for PSVs. Following the sale of two AHTS vessels in February 2016, the Company only has one vessel (PSV) in the North Sea spot market. The contract coverage for 2016 for the Company is not satisfactory. DESS is currently in advanced contract

negotiations for some term opportunities, however the competition is fierce and rate levels are low.

As a consequence of the weak market, Deep Sea Supply will continue to lay up vessels that do not have any fixed activity the next months. In addition to Iaying up vessels to reduce cost, the Company is working hard to further reduce operating expenses for the vessels in o pe ratio n.

The board is actively considering alternative use of the fleet, this includes use of vessels for aquaculture shipping as well for other sectors.

The Board of Directors however may approve the registration of the transfer of a reduced number of shares transferred, if by the transfer of such reduced number of shares the refutation or infringement of such preconditions is avoided.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION

"THAT the Articles of Association of the Company be and is hereby amended by the addition of the following new Regulations after the existing Regulation 40:

"COMPULSORY TRANSFER OF SHARES

  • If a shareholder, directly or via a subsidiary or subsidiaries, acquires shares in the Company with $40A$ the result that its holding in the Company will represent more than 90 per cent of the total number of issued shares in the Company as well as more than 90 per cent of the total voting rights attached to such Company shares ("the Special Majority Shareholder"), then such Special Majority Shareholder would have the right to effect a compulsory acquisition for cash of any Company shares not already owned by such Special Majority Shareholder ("the Remaining Shares").
  • If the Special Majority Shareholder does not exercise the right mentioned in Regulation 40A $40B$ above, anyone of the holders of the Remaining Shares shall be entitled to demand from the Special Majority Shareholders to effect such a compulsory acquisition of the Remaining Shares.
  • The Special Majority Shareholder must offer the holders of the Remaining Shares a specific price $40C$ per share for the purchase of each Remaining Share equivalent to a fair price. The offer must be made in writing to all holders of a Remaining Share with a known address and a deadline must be fixed within which such individual shareholder may make objections to or reject the offer.
  • If no such objection is received by the Company before the expiry of the deadline, the minority $40D$ shareholder shall be regarded as having accepted the offer. The deadline cannot be fixed for a period of less than two months from the notice. In the written communication and in the notices, the shareholders must be informed of the deadline and of the consequences of any failure to meet it.

The arbitration tribunal may decide that the costs shall be bore in full or part by the minority shareholders that have requested for arbitration if the tribunal finds that the offer reflected a fair price and thus should have been accepted."

BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT TO THE SHARE,HOLDERS OF DEEP SEA SUPPLY PLC

REGARDING

MERGER BETWEEN DEEP SEA SUPPLY PLC (AS TRANSFERRING ENTITÐ AND SOLSHIP SUB AS (AS SURVIVING ENTITÐ

1 INTRODUCTION

The board of directors (the "Board") of Deep Sea Supply Plc, a public limited company registered under the laws of Cyprus ("DESSC") has, together with the board of directors of Solship Sub AS, a private limited company registered under the laws of Norway ("Solship Sub"), prepared a joint merger plan dated 24March20l7 (the "Merger Plan") with a proposal for a merger (the "Merger") between DESSC (as the transferring entity) and Solship Sub (as the surviving entity).

The Merger entails that all assets, rights and liabilities of DESSC will be transferred to Solship Sub in exchange for the issue of shares in Solship Sub to DESSC's shareholders. Simultaneously with the Merger, the surviving entity Solship Sub will be merged with Solship Invest 3 AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Solstad Offshore ASA ("SOFF'), in exchange for the issue of shares in SOFF to Solship Sub's shareholders (i.e. the former DESSC shareholders) (the "Second Merger"). Accordingly, the end result of the Merger and the Second Merger is that the shareholders of DESSC will become shareholders in SOFF. After completion of the Merger and the Second Merger, DESSC will be delisted and dissolved, whereas SOFF will continue its current listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange,

Pursuant to section 201(N) of the Cyprus Companies Law, Cap 113 (the'oCompanies Law"), the Board has prepared this report to the shareholders of DESSC, explaining and justifying the legal and economic aspects of the Merger and explaining the implications of the Merger for DESSC's shareholders, creditors and employees. The report will be made available to the shareholders and the employees not less than one month before the date of the general meeting where shareholders are invited to vote on the proposed Merger.

The Board believes that the Merger will be beneficial to DESSC's shareholders, and thus recornmends that the shareholders approve the Merger.

2 BACKGROUND AI\D RATIONALE FOR THE MERGER

DESSC owns and operates a fleet of 37 vessels providing services in various parts of the offshore industry. The fleet consists of 25 platform supply vessels (PSV) and 12 anchor handling tug supply vessels (AHTS). DESSC is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker'DESSC'. The DESSC group currently has less than 500 employees both offshore and onshore.

Solship Sub is a recently incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of Solship Invest 3 AS ("Solship Invest 3"), which again is a recently incorporated wholly owned subsidiary of Solstad Ofßhore ASA ("SOFF"). SOFF operates within the same business area as DESSC

and owns and operates 26 CSVs (incl. 1 Derrick Lay Barge (DLB)), 16 AHTSs and 19 PSVs SOFF is listed on Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker 'SOFF'. The SOFF goup currently has approx. 1500 employees both offshore and onshore.

During the last two years, the conditions in the market for offshore service vessels have deteriorated due to the fall in oil prices. The expectations of the level of activity in the industry for the near future are characteized by great uncertainty. The exploration and developing activity in the oil and gas industry specifically has been significantly reduced. In particular, the market for PSVs and AHTSs has experienced a surplus in capacity. DESSC's operations have been severely affected by the downturn and uncertainty in the market.

In September 2016, DESSC completed an amendment to its loan agreements, including amendments to its financial covenants and down payment schedules. Such amendments are currently valid until 3l March 2018. However, DESSC is currently working on refinancing most of its loan agreements which, among other things, involves an extension of maturity dates and reduced amortisation.

On 5 February 2017, Farstad Shipping ASA ('FAR"), Aker Capital AS ("Aker"), Hemen Holding Limited ("Hemen"), FAR's largest lenders (the "Lenders"), a major part of FAR's bondholders (the "Bondholders"), as well as F-Shiplease AS signed an extensive and fully financed restructuring agreement (the "Restructuring Agreement") for FAR and several of its subsidiary companies (the "FAR Restructuring"). The FAR Restructuring was completed 9 March 2017.In connection with the FAR Restructuring, Aker, Hemon, the Lenders and the Bondholders as well as the main shareholders of SOFF and FAR also agreed to work for a merger between SOFF, FAR and DESSC after the completion of FAR Restructuring (the "Combination").

The boards of directors of DESSC, SOFF and FAR are of the opinion that a consolidation in the industry is required. After concluding the Restructuring Agreement, the boards of directors of the mentioned companies have discussed the possibilities for a merger of the operations of the three companies and have concluded that such merger will be advantageous for all companies. The Combination will result in the establishment of a world leading OSV company, with a fleet of totally 154 vessels. The merged group will operate a fleet consisting of 33 CSV, 66 PSV and 55 AHTS vessels.

Formally, the Combination will be completed by three separate mergers that are mutually dependent upon one another:

    1. The Merger between DESSC and Solship Sub,
    1. the Second Merger of Solship Sub and Solship Invest 3 with settlement in shares in SOFF (together with the Merger, the "Deep Sea Supply Merger"), and
    1. a merger of FAR and Solship lnvest 2 AS with settlement in SOFF shares (the "Farstad Merger").

The Deep Sea Supply Merger is governed by the Merger Plan and a separate merger plan dated 24March20l7 for the Second Merger, while the Farstad Merger is governed by a separate merger plan dated 24March2017 between the companies involved in the Farstad Merger. The above mentioned mergers will be mutually dependent upon each other, so that the Deep Sea Supply Merger may only be completed if the Farstad Merger is completed in parallel.

This report is issued in relation to the Merger (item 1 above).

3 LEGAL ASPECTS OF THE MERGER

3.1 Company law

The Merger will be carried out as a cross-border merger in accordance with the cross-border merger rules set out in section 201 (I-X) of the Companies Law and corresponding legislation under Norwegian law. The Merger constitutes a'merger' pursuant to letter (a) of the definition of merger in the Companies Law section 201 (f.

Following execution of the Merger Plan, DESSC and Solship Sub shall as soon as possible call for general meetings to be held in their respective companies in order to approve the Merger. The general meetings of DESSC and Solship Sub are scheduled to be held on or about 25 April 2017.

No later than one month before DESSC's general meeting, the shareholders of DESSC shall be informed about the Merger by publication of the Merger Plan and related documentation (including this report) on the company's web page. The documents shall remain accessible on the web page for no less than one month after the general meeting has been held. Further, the Merger Plan and related documents shall be registered at the Cyprus Registrar of Companies prior to the general meeting.

The affirmative vote of at least 75Vo of the shares and votes represented in DESSC's general meeting is required to approve the Merger from DESSC's side. The corresponding requirement at Solship Sub's general meeting is 2/3 majority.

As soon as possible after the approval of the Merger by the general meetings of DESSC and Solship Sub, DESSC will apply for a pre-merger certificate to be issued by the District Court of Limassol confirming that all preparatory actions and formalities required to complete the Merger have been made. The Limassol Court will issue the pre-merger certificate once the Court finds that the procedures referred to in section 201(L) to 201(P) of the Companies Law have been complied with.

For Norwegian company law purposes, a creditor notice period of 6 weeks will commence at the date of the registration of the Merger in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. After the expiry of the creditor notice period, and provided that (i) any creditor objections have been clarified and resolved, (iÐ all conditions precedent for the Merger are either fulfilled or waived, (iii) a merger certificate has been issued by the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises and (iv) the above-mentioned pre-merger certificate has been issued by the District Court of Limassol, Solship Sub will notifu the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises that the Merger shall be implemented. From a company law perspective, the Merger becomes effective when it is implemented by the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. It is currently anticipated that this will occur within June2017. The Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises shall inform the relevant Cypriot authorities about the implementation of the Merger once it has been registered in Norway.

DESSC has issued 10,000,000 independent subscription rights (warrants) in accordance with an agreement dated 2l July 2016. The warrants give its holder the right to subscribe for a corresponding number of shares in DESSC at NOK 1.24 per share and may be exercised at any time within three years of the issuance date. Unless exercised prior to completion of the Merger, the warrants will in accordance with the warrant agreement be converted into warrants in Solship Sub upon completion of the Merger, and immediately thereafter be converted into warrants in SOFF upon completion of the Second Merger. The number of warrants and the subscription price shall be adjusted in accordance with the agreed exchange ratio between DESSC and SOFF, but otherwise remain unaltered.

Other than the warrants described above, there are no outstanding warrants, subscription right shares or convertible shares outstanding in DESSC, and no shareholders of DESSC enjoy any special rights. Further, no special rights or benefits will accrue to supervisory or regulatory bodies, the board of directors or the general manager of DESSC or the board of directors of Solship Sub in connection with the Merger. Independent experts will receive remuneration for the preparation of expert statement(s), but will not enjoy any special rights or benefits as a result of the Merger.

3.2 Tax and accounting law

The Merger will be carried out as a tax-neutral merger. Tax positions related to assets, rights and obligations of DESSC located within Norwegian tax jurisdiction prior to the Merger will be continued following implementation of the Merger. Further, tax positions related to shares in DESSC will for Norwegian shareholders will be divided on the shares issued in Solship Sub as consideration in the Merger. Finally, the Merger falls within section 30 (a)(i) of the Cyprus Income Tax Law and will thus not have any tax implications in Cyprus.

For accounting purposes, the Merger shall be deemed to have been implemented as of the date when the Merger is registered as completed in the Norwegian Register of Business Enterprises. All transactions, costs and revenue related to the assets, rights and obligations which are transferred under the Merger, shall from this time be assigned to Solship Sub. The Merger is for accounting purposes completed as a transaction. Thus the transferred assets, rights and obligations are recorded in the opening balance of Solship Sub at its actual (true) value in accordance with the acquisition method.

3 ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF THE MERGER

In the Merger, all the assets, rights and obligations of DESSC will be transferred in whole to Solship Sub. As consideration for the Merger the shareholders of DESSC will receive I share in Solship Sub for every share they hold in DESSC. The 1:1 exchange ratio in the Merger is based on the fact that Solship Sub prior to Merger will be an empty company without any assets or capital (due to the above-mentioned reduction in capital completed immediately prior to the Merger), meaning that the implied value of Solship Sub immediately following implementation of the Merger is identical to the implied value of DESSC prior to the Merger.

In the Second Merger, all the assets, rights and obligations of Solship Sub will be transferred in whole to Solship Invest 3. As consideration for the Second Merger, the shareholders of Solship Sub (who are former DESSC shareholders) will receive 0J052631 shares in SOFF

for every share they hold in Solship Sub. These consideration shares will be made available through a share issue in SOFF, and Solship Invest 3 will issue a receivable directly to SOFF to compensate for the issue of these shares at the time of registration of the completion of the Second Merger. The nominal amount of the receivable issued by Solship lnvest 3 to SOFF will correspond to the aggregate nominal amount of the merger consideration shares issued by SOFF.

The consideration shares issued in the Merger and the Second Merger is based on an agreed pre-merger share value NOK 131578947368421 per DESSC share and NOK 12.50 per SOFF share, so that the actual exchange ratio in the Deep Sea Supply Merger is 1.31578947368421:12.50. The share values and exchange ratio has been negotiated by independent parties and is therefore considered to represent fair market value for the respective shares. The Board has obtained a statement from Swedbank confirming that the exchange ratio is fair and reasonably justified.

Reference is made to the joint expert statement dated 24March20l7 by FGH Revisjon AS for further details.

4 IMPLICATIONS FOR EMPLOYEES

DESSC has no employees.

5 IMPLICATIONS FOR CREDITORS

As aresult of the Merger, the creditors of DESSC will become creditors of Solship Sub. Immediately thereafter, as a result of the Second Merger, the same creditors will become creditors of Solship Invest 3. Neither Solship Sub nor Solship Invest 3 will have any existing financial creditors prior to completion of the Merger and the Second Merger.

6 IMPLICATIONS FOR SHAREHOLDERS

At the implementation of the Merger, the assets, rights and obligations of DESSC will be transferred in whole to Solship Sub, following which DESSC will be dissolved. As settlement for the Merger, the shareholders of DESSC will receive 1 share in Solship Sub for every share they hold in DESSC. Immediately prior the Merger, a reduction of the share capital in Solship Sub from NOK 30,000 to NOK 0 will be carried out in order to ensure that only former shareholders of DESSC will be shareholders of Solship Sub as a result of the Merger. However, as noted above, the Second Merger between Solship Sub, Solship lnvest 3 and SOFF will be completed in parallel with the Merger, and implies that the assets, rights and obligations of Solship Sub will be transferred to Solship Invest 3 in exchange for the issue of shares in SOFF to Solship Sub's shareholders (i.e. the former DESSC shareholders), while Solship Sub will be dissolved. Accordingly, the end result of the Merger and the Second Merger is that the shareholders of DESSC will become shareholders in SOFF, receiving 0.1052631 shares in SOFF for every share they held in DESSC before the Merger. SOFF is a public limited company incorporated in Norway and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

RAPPORT TIL GENERALFORSAMLINGEN I SOLSHIP SUB AS

UTARBEIDET AV STYRET I SOLSHIP SUB AS

OM FUSJON MELLOM DEEP SEA SUPPLY PLC (SOM OVERDRAGENDE SELSKAP) OG SOLSHIP SUB AS (SOM OVERTAGENDE SELSKAP)

$\mathbf{1}$ INNLEDNING

Styrene i Deep Sea Supply Plc, organisasjonsnummer 186838 ("Deep Sea Supply") og Solship Sub AS, organisasjonsnummer 918 665 900 ("Selskapet" eller "Solship Sub") foreslår ved fusjonsplan datert 24. mars 2017 ("Fusjonsplanen") at Deep Sea Supply og Selskapet fusjoneres, med Selskapet som det overtagende selskap og Deep Sea Supply som det overdragende selskap, slik at Deep Sea Supply overdrar sine eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser som helhet til Selskapet. Deep Sea Supply oppløses ved fusjonen og Deep Sea Supplys aksjeeiere mottar fusjonsvederlag i form av aksjer i Selskapet, på det tidspunktet fusjonen selskapsrettslig trer i kraft.

Etter allmennaksjeloven §§ 13-25, jf. 13-9 og 13-27 skal styrene i det overdragende og overtakende selskap utarbeide hver sin rapport vedrørende fusjonen. Styrets rapport skal gjøres tilgjengelig for aksjeeierne i de respektive selskapene og skal sammen med Fusjonsplanen med vedlegg og den sakkyndiges redegjørelse for fusjonen gi aksjeeierne i Selskapet et tilstrekkelig grunnlag for å vurdere fusjonen.

Styret anbefaler fusjonen overfor Selskapets aksjeeiere. Fusjonen vil etter styrets oppfatning totalt sett være fordelaktig for Selskapet og Selskapets aksjeeier.

$\overline{2}$ BAKGRUNN OG BEGRUNNELSE FOR FUSJONEN

Deep Sea Supply eier og drifter en flåte bestående av 37 skip som yter tjenester innen ulike deler av offshorevirksomheten. Flåten er fordelt mellom 25 plattformsupply-skip (PSV) og 12 ankerhåndteringsskip (AHTS). DESSC er notert på Oslo Børs under ticker "DESSC". DESSC-konsernet har i dag færre enn 500 ansatte på sjø og land. I tillegg har DESSC gjennom sitt 50 % eide datterselskap DESS Aquaculture Shipping AS bestilt 2 brønnbåter og 1 slaktebåt som skal benyttes innen fiskeoppdrettsnæringen. DESS Aquaculture Shipping AS eies 50/50 av DESSC og Marine Harvest AS.

SOFF opererer innenfor samme virksomhetsområde som DESSC, og eier og drifter 26 CSVer (inkl 1 Derrick Lay Barge (DLB)), 16 AHTS-er og 19 PSV-er. SOFF er notert på Oslo Børs under ticker "SOFF". SOFF-konsernet har i dag ca. 1500 sysselsatte på sjø og land. Solship Sub er et nystiftet heleiet datterselskap av Solship Invest 3 AS ("Solship Invest 3"), som igjen er et nystiftet heleiet datterselskap av Solstad Offshore ASA ("SOFF").

I de siste to årene har markedet for offshoreservice-skip svekket seg vesentlig som følge av fallet i oljeprisen. Forventningene til aktivitetsnivået i næringen i de kommende år er preget av stor usikkerhet. Spesielt er lete- og utbyggingsaktiviteten i olje- og gassektoren vesentlig redusert. Særlig markedet for PSV-er og AHTS-er preges av overkapasitet. SOFF og DESSCs virksomhet er sterkt påvirket av det svekkede markedet og den markedsusikkerheten som råder.

SOFF gjennomførte i 2016 en større kapitalutvidelse (aksjekapital og konvertibelt lån) og en omfattende refinansiering som har bidratt til at selskapet har fått styrket sin balanse og likviditet. I etterkant av denne refinansieringen gjennomførte SOFF en fusjon med Rem Offshore ASA. Gjennom en såkalt trekantfusjon ble Rem Offshore ASA innfusjonert i SOFF sitt heleide datterselskap Solship Invest 1 AS og aksjeeierne i Rem Offshore ASA mottok vederlagsaksier i SOFF. I forbindelse med gjennomføringen av fusjonen ble det også opprettet en egen aksieklasse i SOFF, B-aksier, med begrenset stemmerett. B-aksiene ble notert på Oslo Børs i desember 2016.

Farstad Shipping ASA ("FAR"), Aker Capital AS ("Aker"), Hemen Holding Limited ("Hemen") i tillegg til FAR's største långivere ("Långiverne"), en vesentlig del av FARs obligasjonseiere ("Obligasjonseierne"), samt F-Shiplease AS, signerte den 5. februar 2017 en omfattende og fullt ut finansiert restruktureringsavtale ("Restruktureringsavtalen") av FAR og flere av dets datterselskaper ("FAR Restruktureringen"). FAR Restruktureringen ble gjennomført 9. mars 2017. Aker, Hemen, Långiverne og Obligasjonseierne, samt SOFF Invest AS, Ivan II AS (i fellesskap "Solstad Familien"), Tyrholm & Farstad AS, Tyrholm & Farstad Invest AS, Sverre A. Farstad og Jan H. Farstad (i fellesskap "Farstad Familien"), avtalte også å arbeide for en fusjon mellom SOFF, FAR og Deep Sea Supply etter gjennomføringen av FAR Restruktureringen ("Sammenslåingen").

Styrene i SOFF, FAR og Deep Sea Supply er av den oppfatning at det er nødvendig å gjennomføre en konsolidering i bransjen. I etterkant av inngåelsen av Restruktureringsavtalen har styrene i de nevnte selskaper derfor diskutert mulighetene for en fusjon mellom de tre selskapene og kommet til at en slik fusjon vil være fordelaktig for alle selskapene. Gjennom Sammenslåingen vil man etablere et verdensledende OSV-selskap, med en samlet flåte på 154 skip. Det fusjonerte konsernet vil operere en flåte bestående av 33 CSV, 66 PSV og 55 AHTS skip.

Formelt sett vil Sammenslåingen skje gjennom tre ulike fusjoner som er innbyrdes avhengig av hverandre:

    1. En grenseoverskridende (europeisk) fusjon mellom Deep Sea Supply og Solship Sub, et heleiet datterselskap av Solship Invest 3 ("DESSC Fusjon I"),
    1. En umiddelbart etterfølgende trekantfusjon mellom Solship Sub og Solship Invest 3 (heleiet datterselskap av SOFF) med oppgjør i aksjer i SOFF ("DESSC Fusjon II") (DESSC Fusion I og DESSC Fusion II er til sammen benevnt "Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen"), og
    1. En fusjon mellom FAR og Solship Invest 2 AS med oppgjør i aksjer i SOFF ("Farstad Fusjonen").

Det er DESSC Fusjon I (heretter benevnt "Fusjonen") som er gjenstand for behandling i denne rapporten.

$\overline{3}$ FUSJONENS RETTSLIGE OG ØKONOMISKE KONSEKVENSER

$3.1$ Selskapsrettslige virkninger

Fusjonsplanen skal meldes til Foretaksregisteret umiddelbart etter at Fusjonsplanen er godkjent av styrene i Selskapet og Deep Sea Supply og senest én måned før generalforsamlingen skal behandle Fusjonsplanen, jf. allmennaksjeloven 13-25 jf. § 13-13 og § 13-29. Foretaksregisteret skal kunngjøre at Foretaksregisteret har mottatt planen, hvilke selskaper som deltar i fusjonen, og at planen er tilgjengelig hos Foretaksregisteret.

Fusionsplanen og de øvrige saksdokumentene skal gjøres tilgjengelig for aksjeeierne på selskapenes forretningskontor eller på selskapenes internettsider, if. allmennaksjeloven § 13-25 if. § 13-12 (1). Deep Sea Supply og Selskapet skal avholde ekstraordinær generalforsamling for behandling av Fusjonsplanen. Generalforsamlingene er planlagt avholdt 25. april 2017.

Beslutningen om Fusjon treffes i det overtagende og overdragende selskap ved at generalforsamlingen i de respektive selskap vedtar Fusjonsplanen med minst totrediedels flertall så vel av de avgitte stemmer som den aksjekapital som er representert på generalforsamlingene, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 13-25 jf. § 13-3 (2). Begge selskapene skal senest en måned etter avholdt generalforsamling melde beslutningene om Fusion til Foretaksregisteret, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 13-25 jf. § 13-14. Umiddelbart forut for DESSC Fusion I gjennomføres en kapitalnedsettelse i Selskapet med NOK 30 000 fra NOK 30 000 til NOK 0 ved tilbakebetaling til eneaksjonær i Selskapet, jf. aksjeloven § 12-1 (1) nr. 2. Umiddelbart etter Fusjonen gjennomføres DESSC Fusjon II, hvilket innebærer at Selskapets eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser overføres til Solship Invest 3. Samtidig oppløses Selskapet. DESSC Fusjon II er regulert gjennom separat fusjonsplan og redegjort for i separat rapport. Gjennomføring av Fusjonen er betinget av at vilkårene for gjennomføring av DESSC Fusjon II er oppfylt, slik at denne kan gjennomføres umiddelbart etter gjennomføringen av Fusjonen.

Foretaksregisteret skal kunngjøre beslutningene om Fusjon og varsle selskapets kreditorer om at innsigelse mot Fusjonen må meldes til selskapet innen seks uker fra kunngjøringen, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 13-25 jf. § 13-15.

Når fristen for kreditorene til å fremme innsigelse er utløpt etter allmennaksjeloven § 13-25 jf. § 13-15 for selskapene som deltar i Fusjonen og forholdet til de kreditorer som i tilfelle har fremsatt innsigelse etter allmennaksjeloven § 13-16 er avklart, og alle betingelsene for gjennomføring av Fusjonen, jf. punkt 2.4 i Fusjonsplanen er tilstede, skal Selskapet gi melding til Foretaksregisteret for både Deep Sea Supply og Selskapet om at Fusjonen skal tre i kraft. Fusjonen trer selskapsrettslig i kraft ved registrering av denne meldingen. Det antas at selskapsrettslig ikrafttredelse vil finne sted innen utløpet av juni 2017. Foretaksregisteret skal underrette registreringsmyndigheten der DESSC er registret om at Fusjonen har trådt i kraft

Ved selskapsrettslig ikrafttredelse av Fusjonen inntrer blant annet følgende virkninger:

    1. Deep Sea Supply er oppløst.
  • Eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser i Deep Sea Supply som helhet er overført 2. til Selskapet.

    1. Aksjene i Deep Sea Supply er byttet om med aksjer i Selskapet.
  • Vedtektene i Solship Sub er endret i overensstemmelse med forslaget i $4.$ Fusionsplanen.

  • Andre virkninger som er fastsatt i allmennaksjeloven, lovgivningen for øvrig 5. samt Fusjonsplanen.

Aksieeierne i Deep Sea Supply vil få fulle aksieeierrettigheter som eier av ordinære aksier i Solship Sub fra tidspunktet Fusjonen er registret gjennomført i Foretaksregisteret. Nevnte aksieeiere skal i utgangspunktet innføres i aksjeeierboken i Selskapet snarest mulig etter at Fusjonen har trådt i kraft, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 13-33, jf. § 13-17, men siden Fusjonen vil gjennomføres parallelt med DESSC Fusion II vil aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply som mottakere av vederlagsaksjer i SOFF bli innført som aksjeeier i aksjeeierregisteret til SOFF snarest mulig etter at Fusjonen og DESSC Fusjon II har trådt i kraft, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 13-17, og få fulle aksjeeierrettigheter som eier av ordinære aksjer i SOFF fra tidspunktet Fusjonen og DESSC Fusjon II er registret gjennomført i Foretaksregisteret. For å være berettiget til å motta vederlagsaksjer må aksjeeieren være aksjeeier i Deep Sea Supply på samme tidspunkt.

Ingen aksjeciere har særlige rettigheter i Deep Sea Supply. Deep Sea Supply har utstedt 10.000.000 frittstående tegningsretter (warrants) i henhold til avtale datert 21. juli 2016. Tegningsrettene gir rett til å tegne et tilsvarende antall aksjer i DESSC for NOK 1,24 per aksie og kan utøves når som helst innen tre år fra utstedelsen. Disse tegningsrettene skal konverteres til tegningsretter i Solship Sub, og dernest konverteres til tegningsretter i SOFF i forbindelse med DESSC Fusion II. Antall tegningsretter og tegningskursen for tegningsrettene skal i den forbindelse justeres for bytteforholdet mellom Deep Sea Supply og SOFF, men ellers videreføres i uendret form. For øvrig har ikke DESCC utstedt noen tegningsretter som nevnt i allmennaksjeloven § 11-1, § 11-10 eller § 11-12, jf. allmennaksjeloven § 13-26 (2) nr. 8.

Det eksisterer ikke og vil ikke tilfalle særlige fordeler i forbindelse med Fusjonen til medlemmer av selskapenes styrer, de daglige ledere eller uavhengige sakkyndige. Uavhengige sakkyndige vil motta honorarer for utarbeidelse av sakkyndige redegjørelser. Utover dette vil det ikke tilfelle uavhengige sakkyndige noen særlige rett eller fordel ved Fusjonen. Det gjelder ingen særskilte vilkår for utøvelse av rettigheter som aksjeeier i SOFF eller for registrering i aksjeeierregisteret.

$3.2$ Regnskapsmessige virkninger

Fusjonen gjennomføres med regnskapsmessig virkning fra det tidspunkt Fusjonen er registrert gjennomført i Foretaksregisteret. Alle transaksjoner, kostnader og inntekter knyttet til eiendelene, rettighetene og forpliktelsene som overføres i kraft av Fusjonen, skal fra dette tidspunkt henregnes til Selskapet. DESSC Fusjon I gjennomføres som regnskapsmessig transaksjon til virkelig verdi i samsvar med oppkjøpsmetoden.

Årsregnskapet for 2015 med balanse pr. 31.12.15 som sist godkjente årsregnskap danner grunnlaget for fastsettelsen av vilkårene for DESSC Fusjon I.

Inntil den selskapsrettslige ikrafttredelse av DESSC Fusjon I skal det føres separate regnskaper for Deep Sea Supply og Selskapet.

$3.3$ Skattemessige virkninger

Fusjonen vil bli gjennomført med skattemessig kontinuitet (både på selskapsnivå og aksjeeiernivå) etter reglene i skatteloven kapittel 11, jf. § 11-11 (grenseoverskridende fusjoner) og i samsvar med allmennaksjeloven kapittel 13, jf. § 13-25 flg. (grenseoverskridende fusjoner). Dette medfører at Fusjonen vil bli gjennomført som en skattefri fusjon.

Skatteposisjoner knyttet til eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser som overføres fra Deep Sea Supply som ledd i Fusjonen og som befinner seg innen for norsk beskatningsområde forut for Fusjonen vil bli videreført uendret i henhold til skatteloven kapittel 11, jf. § 11-11. Dette innebærer at skatteposisjoner knyttet til eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser innenfor norsk beskatningsområde forut for Fusjonen som overføres fra Deep Sea Supply til Selskapet vil bli videreført uendret ved selskapsrettslig ikrafttredelse av nevnte Fusjon. Videre vil skatteposisjoner for aksjer i Deep Sea Supply for norske aksjonærer i Deep Sea Supply videreføres til aksjene som utstedes i Selskapet som fusjonsvederlag. Endelig er Fusjonen skattefri i henhold til kypriotisk rett (Cyprus Income Tax Law Section 30 (a)(i)).

$\overline{\mathbf{4}}$ FASTSETTELSEN AV VEDERLAGET OG BEGRUNNELSEN FOR BYTTEFORHOLDET

Fusjonsvederlaget til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply skal bestå av aksjer i Selskapet, utstedt gjennom en kapitalforhøyelse i Selskapet. Ved Fusjonen overføres DESSCs eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser som helhet til Selskapet.

Som fusjonsvederlag vil aksjeeierne i DESSC per gjennomføringstidspunkt motta 1 aksjer i Solship Sub for hver aksje de eier i DESSC.

Basert på ovennevnte tall, gjennomføres Fusjonen basert på virkelige verdier med et bytteforhold mellom DESSC og Solship Sub på 1:1=1 dvs. at bytteforholdet skal være 1 Solship Sub- aksjer per aksje i DESSC.

Bytteforholdet i Fusjonen er fastsatt basert på at Selskapet i forkant av Fusjonen vil være et tomt selskap som følge av kapitalnedsettelsen som gjennomføres umiddelbart forut for Fusjonen. Basert på virkelige verdier av Deep Sea Supply og Selskapet vil bytteforholdet derfor være 1 Solship Sub-aksje per Deep Sea Supply-aksje (bytteforhold 1/1). Av denne grunn vil man ved bytteforholdet i DESSC Fusjon II kunne ta utgangspunkt i kurs per aksje i Deep Sea Supply selv om disse aksjene ved Fusjonen vil ombyttes med aksjer i Selskapet.

Ved fastsettelsen av kurs per aksje i Solship Sub ved DESSC Fusjon II har man tatt utgangspunkt i verdiene og dermed kursen på Deep Sea Supply i forkant av Fusjonen, hvilket er satt til NOK 1,31578947368421. For Deep Sea Supply har man ved fastsettelse av verdien i forkant av DESSC Fusjon I lagt til grunn en kurs på NOK 1,31578947368421 per aksje basert på avtale mellom partene som medvirker til Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen og Farstad Fusjonen, slik at det reelle bytteforholdet i Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen er 1,31578947368421:12,50, jf. ovenfor. Kursen er fremforhandlet av uavhengige parter, og er av den grunn et uttrykk for aksjenes markedsverdi.

Særlige vanskeligheter ved fastsettelsen av bytteforholdet har vært:

Umiddelbart etter gjennomføring av DESSC Fusjon I og samtidig med at DESSC $\bullet$ Fusjon II gjennomføres, gjennomføres som nevnt ovenfor en fusjon mellom FAR og Solship Invest 2 AS med utstedelse av vederlagsaksjer i SOFF (Farstad Fusjonen). Farstad Fusionen omhandles ikke av denne rapporten. Imidlertid er gjennomføringen av Farstad Fusjonen og Deep Sea Fusjonen, herunder DESSC Fusjon I og DESSC Fusion II, betinget av hverandre.

Styret i SOFF har innhentet en uttalelse fra Arctic Securities AS. Styret i DESSC har innhentet en tilsvarende uttalelse fra Swedbank. Begge uttalelsene bekrefter at bytteforholdet er rimelig og saklig begrunnet.

Det vises for øvrig til uavhengig sakkyndig redegjørelse for Fusjonsplanen utarbeidet av FGH Revisjon AS den 24. mars 2017, som konkluderte med at vederlaget til aksjeeierne er rimelig og saklig begrunnet.

5 BETYDNING FOR DE ANSATTE

Selskapet har ingen ansatte.

6 BETYDNING FOR KREDITORENE OG AKSJEEIERNE I SELSKAPET

Forut for gjennomføring av Fusjonen vil det ikke være kreditorer i Selskapet. Kreditorene i Deep Sea Supply vil på tidspunktet for gjennomføringen av Fusjonen bli Selskapets kreditorer.

Det vil heller ikke være aksjeeiere i Selskapet forut for gjennomføring av Fusjonen. Aksjekapitalen nedskrives til NOK 0 ved tilbakebetaling av selskapets aksjekapital umiddelbart før gjennomføringen, og da slik at nye aksjer alene utstedes som vederlagsaksjer forholdsmessig til aksjonærene i Deep Sea Supply.

Til generalforsamlingen i Deep Sea Supply Plc og Solship Sub AS

Uavhengig sakkyndig redegjørelse for fusjonsplanen ved grenseoverskridende fusjon

Vi er statsautoriserte revisorer godkjent av Finanstilsynet, som er kompetent myndighet i Norge for slike formål. Vårt firma har vært virksomt i 27 år, og vi blir jevnlig engasjert for å avgi sakkyndige redegjørelser om verdsettelse av selskaper som deltar i fusjoner. Vi er uavhengig av hver av partene i nærværende transaksjon.

På felles anmodning fra styrene i Deep Sea Supply Plc og Solship Sub AS avgir vi som uavhengig sakkyndig, i samsvar med allmennaksjeloven § 13-28, jf. § 13-10 og section 201O(2) i Cyprus Companies Law, en redegjørelse om fusjonsplanen datert 24. mars 2017 for grenseoverskridende fusjon mellom Deep Sea Supply Plc som overdragende selskap og Solship Sub AS som overtakende selskap ("DESSC Fusjon I"). Ved DESSC Fusjon I overtar Solship Sub AS samtlige eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser i Deep Sea Supply Plc mot at det utstedes vederlag i form av ordinære aksjer i Solship Sub AS. Umiddelbart forut for selskapsrettslig ikrafttredelse av DESSC Fusjon I vil det gjennomføres en kapitalnedsettelse i Solship Sub AS med NOK 30 000 fra NOK 30 000 til NOK 0 med tilbakebetaling til eneaksjonær i Solship Sub AS, jf. aksjeloven § 12-1 første ledd nr. 2. Aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc mottar derfor som fusjonsvederlag 1 aksje i Solship Sub AS for hver aksje i Deep Sea Supply Plc.

DESSC Fusjon I er en del av en sammenslåing av Solstad Offshore ASA ("SOFF"), Farstad shipping ASA ("FAR") og Deep Sea Supply Plc ("Sammenslåingen"). Formelt sett vil Sammenslåingen skje gjennom tre ulike fusjoner som er innbyrdes avhengig av hverandre:

    1. En grenseoverskridende (Europeisk) fusjon mellom Deep Sea Supply Plc og Solship Sub AS, et heleiet datterselskap av Solship Invest 3 AS (DESSC Fusjon I).
    1. En umiddelbart etterfølgende trekantfusjon mellom Solship Sub AS og Solship Invest 3 AS (et heleiet datterselskap av SOFF) med oppgjør i aksjer i SOFF ("DESSC Fusjon II") (DESSC Fusjon I og DESSC Fusjon II er til sammen benevnt "Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen").
    1. En fusjon mellom FAR og Solship Invest 2 AS med oppgjør i aksjer i SOFF ("Farstad Fusjonen").

Det er DESSC Fusjon I som er gjenstand for denne uavhengige sakkyndige redegjørelsen.

Styrets ansvar for redegjørelsen

Styrene i hvert selskap er ansvarlige for informasjonen redegjørelsen bygger på og de verdsettelser som ligger til grunn for vederlaget.

Uavhengig sakkyndiges oppgaver og plikter

Vår oppgave er å utarbeide en uavhengige sakkyndig redegjørelse om fusjonsplanen og å uttale oss om vederlaget.

Den videre redegjørelsen består av tre deler. Den første delen er en presentasjon av opplysninger i overensstemmelse med de krav som stilles i allmennaksjeloven § 13-10 annet ledd og § 2-6 første ledd nr. 1 til 4. Den andre delen angir hvilke fremgangsmåter som er brukt ved fastsettelsen av det foreslåtte bytteforholdet og resulterende vederlag til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc, herunder særlige vanskeligheter ved fastsettelse av bytteforholdet. Den tredje delen er vår uttalelse om fusjonsvederlaget.

Del 1: Opplysninger om innskuddet

Solship Sub AS overtar samtlige eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser i Deep Sea Supply Plc. De eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser som overtas, fremkommer av utkast til åpningsbalanse for Solship Sub AS med balansedag 28.02.2017, som er vedlagt fusjonsplanen.

Som fusjonsvederlag mottar aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc aksjer i Solship Sub AS, ved at det gjennomføres en kapitalforhøyelse i Solship Sub AS hvor det utstedes 291 330 222 nye ordinære aksjer.

Del 2: Fremgangsmåter ved fastsettelse av vederlaget

Bytteforholdet i DESSC Fusjon I på 1 aksje i Solship Sub AS for hver aksje eiet i Deep Sea Supply Plc (bytteforhold 1:1), fremkommer med basis i at Solship Sub AS i forkant av selskapsrettslig gjennomføring av DESSC Fusjon I vil være et tomt selskap som følge av kapitalnedsettelsen som gjennomføres forut for DESSC Fusjon I. Av denne grunn vil man ved bytteforholdet i DESSC Fusjon II kunne ta utgangspunkt i kurs per aksje i Deep Sea Supply Plc selv om disse aksjene vil ombyttes med aksjer i Solship Sub AS ved selskapsrettslig ikrafttredelse av DESSC Fusjon I.

Ved fastsettelsen av kurs per aksje i Solship Sub AS ved DESSC Fusjon II har man derfor tatt utgangspunkt i verdien av Deep Sea Supply Plc i forkant av DESSC Fusjon I. For Deep Sea Supply Plc har man ved fastsettelsen av verdien og dermed kursen per aksje i forkant av DESSC Fusjon I lagt til grunn kurs på NOK 1,31578947368421 per aksje basert på avtale mellom partene som medvirker til Sammenslåingen. Dette innebærer at det reelle bytteforholdet i Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen (som omfatter både DESSC Fusjon I og DESSC Fusjon II) er 1,31578947368421:12,50. Bytteforholdet er fremforhandlet av uavhengige parter med utgangspunkt i historiske børskurser i Deep Sea Supply Plc og SOFF. De fremforhandlede verdier og det resulterende bytteforholdet er av den grunn et uttrykk for aksjenes markedsverdi. Styret i SOFF har innhentet en uttalelse om bytteforholdet fra Arctic Securities AS. Styret i Deep Sea Supply Plc har innhentet en tilsvarende uttalelse fra Swedbank. Begge uttalelsene bekrefter at bytteforholdet i Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen er rimelig og saklig begrunnet.

Særlige vanskeligheter ved fastsettelse av bytteforholdet:

  1. Umiddelbart etter DESSC Fusjon I og samtidig med at DESSC Fusjon II gjennomføres, skjer det som nevnt innledningsvis i denne redegjørelsen en fusjon mellom Farstad Shipping ASA og Solship Invest 2 AS med utstedelse av vederlagsaksjer i SOFF (Farstad Fusjonen). Farstad Fusjonen omhandles ikke av denne redegjørelsen. Imidlertid er gjennomføringen av Farstad Fusjonen og Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen, herunder DESSC Fusjon I og DESSC Fusjon II, betinget av hverandre.

Punktet ovenfor sannsynliggjør etter vår oppfatning ikke et annet verdiutgangspunkt enn det som er presentert i fusjonsplanen for DESSC Fusjon I, og som ligger til grunn for vederlaget til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc.

Verdivurderingene og bytteforholdet er primært basert på observerte markedskurser og forhandlinger mellom eksterne parter. Hver av SOFF og Deep Sea Supply Plc har innhentet en uttalelse fra hvert sitt uavhengige meglerhus som konkluderer med at prisen og bytteforholdet er rimelig og saklig begrunnet. Vi anser at disse uttalelsene, de gjennomførte vurderingene og de forutgående forhandlinger og transaksjoner samlet gir uttrykk for den mest korrekte verdsettelsen av verdiene i Deep Sea Supply Plc og Solship Sub AS.

Det foreligger ikke andre forhold som er av betydning for å bedømme fusjonsvederlaget og bytteforholdet.

Del 3: Den uavhengig sakkyndiges uttalelse

Vi har utført vår kontroll og avgir vår uttalelse i samsvar med standard for attestasjonsoppdrag SA 3802" Revisors uttalelser og redegjørelser etter selskapslovgivningen". Standarden krever at vi planlegger og utfører kontroller for å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at vederlaget til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc er rimelig og saklig begrunnet, og at de eiendeler og forpliktelser Solship Sub AS skal overta, har en verdi som minst svarer til det avtalte vederlaget. Arbeidet omfatter kontroll av verdsettelsen av innskuddet og vederlaget, herunder vurderingsprinsippene og eksistens og tilhørighet. Videre har vi vurdert de verdsettelsesmetoder som er benyttet, og de forutsetninger som ligger til grunn for verdsettelsen**.**

Etter vår oppfatning er det innhentet bevis tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Konklusjon

Etter vår mening har de eiendeler Solship Sub AS skal overta ved DESSC Fusjon I, en verdi som minst svarer til det avtalte vederlaget på 291 330 222 ordinære aksjer i Solship Sub AS med samlet pålydende NOK 291 330 222 samt annen egenkapital NOK 91 999 017, og etter vår mening er begrunnelsen for vederlaget til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc på 1 aksje i Solship Sub AS for hver aksje i Deep Sea Supply Plc rimelig og saklig basert på verdsettelsen av selskapene som beskrevet ovenfor.

Presisering

Dersom denne redegjørelsen blir oversatt til andre språk og det blir tolkningsspørsmål vedrørende oversettelsen, skal den norske versjonen gå foran.

To the general meeting of Deep Sea Supply Plc and Solship Sub AS

lndependent expert report on the merger plan for a cross-border merger

We are a firm of state authorised public accountants, duly approved as such by the Norwegian Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanstilsynet), which is the competent authority in Norway for such purposes. Our firm has been in business for 27 years and we are regularly appointed to give reports on valuations of companies in connection with merger transactions. We are independent of each of the parties to the transaction in question.

At the joint request of the boards of directors of Deep Sea Supply Plc and Solship Sub AS, we hereby submit, as an independent expert, in accordance with the Public Limited Liability Companies Act Section t3-28, cf. Section l-3-10, and section 2OLO(2) of the Cyprus Companies Law, a report on the merger plan dated 24 March 2OI7 for a cross-border merger of Deep Sea Supply Plc as the i transferring company and Solship Sub AS as the surviving company ('DESSC Merger l'). Through the DESSC Merger l, Solship Sub AS acquires all assets, rights and obligations of Deep Sea Supply Plc in exchange for consideration in the form of ordinary shares in Solship Sub AS. lmmediately prior to the DESSC Merger I taking effect pursuant to applicable company law, a capital reduction will be carried out in Solshíp Sub AS in the amount of NOK 30,000, from NOK 30,000 to NOK 0, with repayment to the sole shareholder of Solship Sub AS, cf. the Limited Liability Companies Act Section t2-L {Ll no 2. The shareholders of Deep Sea Supply Plc will therefore receive as merger consideration L share in Solship Sub AS for every share they hold in Deep Sea Supply Plc.

The DESSC Merger I is part of a combination of Solstad Offshore ASA, Farstad Shipping ASA ('FAR') and Deep Sea Supply Plc ('the Combination'). Formally, the Combination willtake place through three different but interdependent mergers:

    1. A cross-border (European) merger between Deep Sea Supply Plc and Solship Sub AS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Solship lnvest 3 AS (DESSC Merger l).
    1. An immediately subsequent triangular merger between Solship Sub AS and Solship lnvest 3 AS (a wholly owned subsidiary of SOFF) with settlement in shares in SOFF ('DESSC Merger ll') (DESSC Merger I and DESSC Merger ll are jointly referred to as the 'Deep Sea Supply Merger').
    1. A merger between FAR and Solship lnvest 2 AS with settlement in shares in SOFF ('the Farstad Merger').

It is the DESSC Merger I that is the subject of this independent expert report

The board's responsibility for the report

Each company's board is responsible for the information on which the report is based and the valuations that form the basis for the consideration.

The tasks and obligations of independent experts

Our task is to prepare an independent expert report on the merger plan and to give an opinion on the consideration.

The report consists of the three parts below. The first part is a presentation of certain information in accordance with the requirements set out in the Public Limited Liability Companies Act Section 13-10 (2) and Section 2-6 (1) no 1 to 4. The second part describes the methods used to arrive at the proposed share exchange ratio and resulting consideration to the shareholders of Deep Sea Supply Plc, including any special difficulties relating to the stipulation of the exchange ratio. The third part is our opinion on the merger consideration.

Part 1: Information about the contribution

Solship Sub AS acquires all assets, rights and obligations in Deep Sea Supply Plc. Such acquired assets, rights and obligations are stipulated in the draft opening balance for Solship Sub AS with balance sheet date 28 February 2017, which is enclosed with the merger plan.

As consideration for the merger, the shareholders of Deep Sea Supply Plc will receive shares in Solship Sub AS by way of a capital increase in Solship Sub AS in which 291,330,222 new ordinary shares are issued.

Part 2: Procedure for stipulation of consideration

The exchange ratio in the DESSC Merger I, being 1 share in Solship Sub AS for every share owned in Deep Sea Supply Plc (exchange ratio 1:1), is based on the fact that Solship Sub AS, prior to the DESSC Merger I taking effect, will be an empty shell company as a result of the capital reduction carried out prior to the completion of the DESSC Merger I. For this reason, the exchange ratio in the DESSC Merger II can be based on the price per share in Deep Sea Supply Plc even though these shares will be exchanged for shares in Solship Sub AS when the DESSC Merger I takes effect.

When stipulating the price per share in Solship Sub AS in connection with the DESSC Merger II, the point of departure has therefore been the value of Deep Sea Supply Plc prior to the DESSC Merger I. For Deep Sea Supply Plc, the stipulation of the value and thereby the price per share prior to the DESSC Merger I has been based on a price of NOK 1.31578947368421 per share, which is based on an agreement between the parties participating in the Combination. This means that the actual exchange ratio in the Deep Sea Supply Merger (which includes both the DESSC Merger I and the DESSC Merger II) is 1.31578947368421:12.50. The exchange ratio has been negotiated by independent parties based on historic share prices for Deep Sea Supply Plc and SOFF. The negotiated values and resulting exchange ratio are therefore an expression of the market value of the shares. The board of SOFF has obtained a statement on the exchange ratio from Arctic Securities AS. The board of Deep Sea Supply Plc has obtained a corresponding statement from Swedbank. Both

statements confirm that the exchange ratio in the Deep Sea Supply Merger is fair and reasonably justified.

Special difficulties relating to the stipulation of the exchange ratio:

  1. Immediately after the DESSC Merger I and at the same time as the DESSC Merger II is carried out, a merger will, as mentioned in the introduction, take place between Farstad Shipping ASA and Solship Invest 2 AS with the issue of a consideration in shares in SOFF (the Farstad Merger). The Farstad Merger is not discussed in this independent expert report. However, the completion of the Farstad Merger and the Deep Sea Supply Merger, which includes the DESSC Merger I and the DESSC Merger II, are contingent on each other.

In our opinion, the point above does not substantiate a different value basis than the one presented in the merger plan for the DESSC Merger I, and which forms the basis for the consideration to the shareholders of Deep Sea Supply Plc.

The valuations and the exchange ratio are primarily based on observed market prices and negotiations between external parties. SOFF and Deep Sea Supply Plc have each obtained a statement from an independent broker, which concludes that the price and the exchange ratio are fair and reasonably justified. In our assessment, these statements, the valuations that have been carried out and the prior negotiations and transactions in aggregate provide the most correct valuation of the assets in Deep Sea Supply Plc and Solship Sub AS.

No other factors exist that have a bearing on the assessment of the merger consideration and the exchange ratio.

Part 3: Opinion of the independent expert

We have carried out our review and express our opinion in accordance with the standard for attestation assignments SA 3802 Revisors uttalelser og redegjørelser etter selskapslovgivningen ('Auditor's opinions and statements pursuant to company legislation' - in Norwegian only). The standard requires us to plan and carry out certain investigations in order to achieve adequate assurance that the consideration to the shareholders of Deep Sea Supply Plc is fair and reasonably justified and that the value of the assets and obligations to be acquired by Solship Sub AS is at least equal to the agreed consideration. Our work includes a review of the valuation of the contribution and the consideration, including the valuation principles and existence and affiliation. We have also considered the valuation methods used, and the assumptions on which the valuation is based.

In our opinion, the evidence obtained forms an adequate and appropriate basis for our conclusion.

Conclusion

In our opinion, the value of the assets that Solship Sub AS shall acquire in connection with the DESSC Merger I is at least equal to the agreed consideration of 291,330,222 ordinary shares in Solship Sub AS with a nominal value of NOK 291,330,222 and other equity of NOK 91,999,017, and, in our

Uavhengig sakkyndig redegjørelse for fusjonsplanen ved grenseoverskridende fusjon

Vi er statsautoriserte revisorer godkjent av Finanstilsynet, som er kompetent myndighet i Norge for slike formål. Vårt firma har vært virksomt i 27 år, og vi blir jevnlig engasjert for å avgi sakkyndige redegjørelser om verdsettelse av selskaper som deltar i fusjoner. Vi er uavhengig av hver av partene i nærværende transaksjon.

På felles anmodning fra styrene i Deep Sea Supply Plc og Solship Sub AS avgir vi som uavhengig sakkyndig, i samsvar med allmennaksjeloven § 13-28, jf. § 13-10 og section 2010(2) i Cyprus Companies Law, en redegjørelse om fusjonsplanen datert 24. mars 2017 for grenseoverskridende fusjon mellom Deep Sea Supply Plc som overdragende selskap og Solship Sub AS som overtakende selskap ("DESSC Fusjon I"). Ved DESSC Fusjon I overtar Solship Sub AS samtlige eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser i Deep Sea Supply Plc mot at det utstedes vederlag i form av ordinære aksjer i Solship Sub AS. Umiddelbart forut for selskapsrettslig ikrafttredelse av DESSC Fusion I vil det gjennomføres en kapitalnedsettelse i Solship Sub AS med NOK 30 000 fra NOK 30 000 til NOK 0 med tilbakebetaling til eneaksjonær i Solship Sub AS, jf. aksjeloven § 12-1 første ledd nr. 2. Aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc mottar derfor som fusjonsvederlag 1 aksje i Solship Sub AS for hver aksje i Deep Sea Supply Plc.

DESSC Fusjon I er en del av en sammenslåing av Solstad Offshore ASA ("SOFF"), Farstad shipping ASA ("FAR") og Deep Sea Supply Plc ("Sammenslåingen"). Formelt sett vil Sammenslåingen skje gjennom tre ulike fusjoner som er innbyrdes avhengig av hverandre:

    1. En fusjon mellom FAR og Solship Invest 2 AS med oppgjør i aksjer i SOFF ("Farstad" Fusjonen").

Det er DESSC Fusjon I som er gjenstand for denne uavhengige sakkyndige redegjørelsen.

Styrets ansvar for redegjørelsen

Styrene i hvert selskap er ansvarlige for informasjonen redegjørelsen bygger på og de verdsettelser som ligger til grunn for vederlaget.

Uavhengig sakkyndiges oppgaver og plikter

Vår oppgave er å utarbeide en uavhengige sakkyndig redegjørelse om fusjonsplanen og å uttale oss om vederlaget.

Den videre redegjørelsen består av tre deler. Den første delen er en presentasjon av opplysninger i overensstemmelse med de krav som stilles i allmennaksjeloven S 13_10 annet ledd og S 2_6 første ledd nr' ttil 4. Den andre delen angir hvilke fremgangsmåter som er brukt ved fastsettelsen av det foreslåtte bytteforholdet og resulterende vederlag til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply plc, herunder særlige vanskeligheter ved fastsettelse av bytteforholdet. Den tredje delen er vår uttalelse om fusjonsvederlaget.

Del 1: Opplysninger om innskuddet

rcll nillflolf

Solship Sub AS overtar samtlige eiendeler, rettigheter og forpliktelser i Deep Sea Supply plc. De eiendeler, rett¡gheter og forpliktelser som overtas, fremkommer av utkast til åpningsbalanse for solship sub AS med balansedag 2g.02.2017, som er vedlagt fusjonsplanen.

Som fusjonsvederlag mottar aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply plc aksjer i Solship Sub AS, ved at det gjennomføres en kapitalforhØyelse i Solship Sub AS hvor det utstedes 2gL 330 222 nye ordinære a ksje r.

Del 2: Fremgangsmåter ved fastsettelse av vederlaget

Bytteforholdet i DESSC Fusjon I på laksje isolship sub AS for hver aksje eiet i Deep Sea supply plc (bytteforhold 1:1), fremkommer med basis i at Solship Sub AS i forkant av selskapsrettslig gjennomføring av DEssc Fusjon I vil være et tomt selskap som følge av kapitalnedsettelsen som gjennomf6res forut for DESSC Fusjon L Av denne grunn vil man ved bytteforholdet i DESSC Fusjon ll kunne ta utgangspunkt i kurs per aksje i Deep Sea supply Plc selv om disse aksjene vil ombyttes med aksjer i solship sub AS ved selskapsrettslig ikrafttredelse av DESSC Fusjon L

Ved fastsettelsen av kurs per aksje i Solship Sub AS ved DESSC Fusjon il har man derfor tatt utgangspunkt i verdien av Deep Sea Supply Plc i forkant av DESSC Fusjon L For Deep sea supply plc har man ved fastsettelsen av ve.rdien og dermed kursen per aksje i forkant av DESSC Fusjon I lagt til grunn kurs på NoK 1,31578947368421' per aksje basert på avtale mellom partene sorn medvirker til Sammenslåingen' Dette innebærer at det reelle bytteforholdet i Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen (som omfatter både DESSC Fusjon I og DESSC Fusjon ll) er 3,,31578g4736842L:!2,50. Bytteforholdet er fremforhandlet av uavhengige parter med utgangspunkt i historiske børskurser i Deep sea supply plc og SoFF. De fremforhandlede verdier og det resulterende bytteforholdet er av den giunn et uttrykk for aksjenes markedsverdi. Styret i SOFF har innhentet en uttalelse om bytteforhold-et fra Arctic securities AS. styret i Deep sea supply Plc har innhentet en tilsvarende uttalelse fra swedbank. Begge uttalelsene bekrefter at bytteforholdet i Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen er rimelig og saklig begrunnet.

Særl ige va nske I ighete r ved fastsettelse av bytteforholdet:

t. Umiddelbart etter DESsc Fusjon log samtidig med at DESSC Fusjon llgjennomfØres, skjer det som nevnt innledníngsvis i denne redegjørelsen en fusjon mellom Farstad Shipping ASA og Solship lnvest 2 AS med utstedelse av vederlagsaksjer i SoFF (Farstad Fusjonen). Farstad Fusjonen omhandles ikke av denne redegjørelsen. rmidlertid er gjennomføringen av Farstad Fusjonen og Deep Sea Supply Fusjonen, herunder DESSC Fusjon log DESSC fui;on ll, betinget av hverandre.

Punktet ovenfor sannsynliggjør etter vår oppfatning ikke et annet verdiutgangspunkt enn det som er presentert i fusjonsplanen for DEsSc Fusjon l, og som ligger til grunn for vederlaget til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc.

Verdivurderingene og bytteforholdet er primært basert på observerte markedskurser og forhandlinger mellom eksterne parter. Hver av SOFF og Deep Sea Supply Plc har innhentet en uttalelse fra hvert sitt uavhengige meglerhus som konkluderer med at prisen og bytteforholdet er rimelig og saklig begrunnet. Vi anser at disse uttalelsene, de gjennomførte vurderingene og de forutgående forhandlinger og transaksjoner samlet gir uttrykk for den mest korrekte verdsettelsen av verdiene i Deep Sea Supply Plc og Solship Sub AS.

Det foreligger ikke andre forhold som er av betydning for å bedømme fusjonsvederlaget og bytteforholdet.

Del 3: Den uavhengig sakkyndiges uttalelse

FGH REVISJON

Vi har utført vår kontroll og avgir vår uttalelse i samsvar med standard for attestasjonsoppdrag SA 3802" Revisors uttalelser og redegjørelser etter selskapslovgivningen". Standarden krever at vi planlegger og utfører kontroller for å oppnå betryggende sikkerhet for at vederlaget til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc er rimelig og saklig begrunnet, og at de eiendeler og forpliktelser Solship Sub AS skal overta, har en verdi som minst svarer til det avtalte vederlaget. Arbeidet omfatter kontroll av verdsettelsen av innskuddet og vederlaget, herunder vurderingsprinsippene og eksistens og tilhørighet. Videre har vi vurdert de verdsettelsesmetoder som er benyttet, og de forutsetninger som ligger til grunn for verdsettelsen.

Etter vår oppfatning er det innhentet bevis tilstrekkelig og hensiktsmessig som grunnlag for vår konklusjon.

Konklusjon

Etter vår mening har de eiendeler Solship Sub AS skal overta ved DESSC Fusjon I, en verdi som minst svarer til det avtalte vederlaget på 291 330 222 ordinære aksjer i Solship Sub AS med samlet pålydende NOK 291 330 222 samt annen egenkapital NOK 91 999 017, og etter vår mening er begrunnelsen for vederlaget til aksjeeierne i Deep Sea Supply Plc på 1 aksje i Solship Sub AS for hver aksje i Deep Sea Supply Plc rimelig og saklig basert på verdsettelsen av selskapene som beskrevet ovenfor.

Presisering

Dersom denne redegjørelsen blir oversatt til andre språk og det blir tolkningsspørsmål vedrørende oversettelsen, skal den norske versjonen gå foran.
