PAO Sovcomflot ("Sovcomflot" or "the Company") is a public joint stock company organised under the laws of the Russian Federation in which the Russian Federation holds 100% of the issued shares. The Company's registered office address is 3A, Moika River Embankment, Saint Petersburg 191186, Russian Federation and its head office is located at 6 Gasheka Street, Moscow 125047, Russian Federation.
The Company, through its subsidiaries (the "Group"), is engaged in ship owning and operating on a world-wide basis with a fleet of 122 vessels at the period end, comprising 106 tankers, 1 chartered in seismic vessel, 8 gas carriers, 3 bulk carriers and 4 ice breaking supply vessels. For major changes in the period in relation to the fleet see also Notes 3, 4 and 9. In addition the Group through its subsidiaries owns 9 escort tug vessels which have been chartered out on bareboat charter to a former associate undertaking (see Note 6).
The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) - IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting". They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2014.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of 1 January 2015. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
The nature of each new standard or amendment is described below. Although these new standards and amendments apply for the first time in 2015, they do not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Group.
IAS 19 ("Employee Benefits") - These narrow scope amendments apply to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans. The objective of the amendments is to simplify the accounting for contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service, for example, employee contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary. This amendment is not relevant to the Group, since none of the entities of the Group have defined benefit plans with contributions from employees or third parties.
These improvements are effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments for the first time in the current period. None of these amendments however impact the Group. They include:
These improvements are effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2014 and the Group has applied these amendments for the first time in the current period. None of these amendments however impact the Group. They include:
Although some of the Group's operations may sometimes be affected by seasonal factors such as general weather conditions, management does not feel this has a material effect on the performance of the Group when comparing the interim results to those achieved in the last quarter of the previous year.
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and conditions. All critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units (operating segments) based on the main types of activities and has five reportable operating segments. Management considers the global market as one geographical segment and does not therefore analyse geographical segment information on revenue from customers or non-current segment assets.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either in the principal market for the asset or liability or in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.
The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices.
The fair values of other financial assets and financial liabilities (excluding derivative instruments) are determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on discounted cash flow analysis using prices (other than quoted prices included within Level 1) from observable current market transactions and dealer quotes for similar instruments.
The fair values of derivative instruments, including interest rate swaps, are measured at the present value of future cash flows estimated and discounted based on the applicable yield curves derived from quoted interest rates.
The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments as at 30 September 2015 and 31 December 2014 that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value valuation inputs are observable.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
For assets and liabilities that are recognised in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.
On 13 March 2015 the Group received \$25.6 million from one of the defendants in the Novoship (UK) Ltd claims as partial recovery under the December 2012 judgment. On 15 April 2015 the High Court in London construed a settlement agreement concluded with this defendant in September 2013 so that it restricts the Group's ability to recover more than the settlement sum of \$40.0 million. On 21 April 2015 the Group received a further \$15.0 million from this defendant, following the judgment of 15 April 2015. The Group is seeking leave to appeal that judgment.
In relation to the Novoship (UK) Ltd claims which received judgment in December 2012, in prior periods, the Group provided security of \$4.0 million in Court to fortify cross-undertakings in damages in respect of \$90.0 million of security provided by the defendants during the claim. The Defendants indicated an intention to pursue a claim in damages and as a result the Group may face liability of up to or in excess of the \$4.0 million secured. No claim has yet been filed.
On 12 December 2014 some of the defendants in the 2010 London proceeding served their Points of Claim in respect of recovery of damages caused by the freezing orders made against them in the course of the London proceedings. They have subsequently amended their Points of Claim increasing the primary claim from \$224.6 million to \$387.6 million. The trial of this claim has been fixed to commence on 4 July 2016 and last for two weeks. However, in the light of certain recent disclosure from the defendants, the Group have issued an application to reverse the decision permitting the defendants to pursue the damages claim on the basis that the Court was misled by the defendants at the permission hearing on 28 July 2014. That application is fixed to be heard between 8 and 10 February 2016. In any event, management is of the opinion that the defendants will more likely than not fail in their claim against the Group even if permitted to proceed with it. The Group will defend its position vigorously. Accordingly, no provision has been made.
A total amount of \$3.3 million (2014 – \$8.6 million), relating to legal costs and provisions for the costs of certain of the defendants in the unsuccessful claims, has been expensed in the income statement and is included in the line other non-operating expenses.
The Group enters into related party transactions with other Russian State owned and State controlled organisations in the normal course of business. There were no new, other than the below, related party transactions than the ones presented in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the period ended 31 December 2014.
During the period ended 30 September 2015 the Group drew down, from available credit facilities granted by a related party as disclosed in Note 14, an amount of \$86.2 million to finance the shipyard instalments of three Arctic shuttle tankers under construction (Note 4).
In addition during the period ended 30 September 2015 the Group introduced a long-term incentive plan for a selected number of shore based employees and seafarers. The charge to profit in respect of key management personnel is disclosed in the table below.
The following table provides the total amount of transactions that have been entered into with related parties in the financial reporting period and outstanding balances as at the period end.
