Letter from the CEO

2013 was the first full year under the new organisationalstructure implemented mid 2012 with AGR’s divisionsoperating autonomously and with dedicated managementteams for each of the businesses. In 2013 we took evenfurther steps in separating the business areas so that we wouldensure an even more focused business model going forward.

Early in the year we successfully completed the refinancing ofthe Group with separate financing for AGR PetroleumServices and AGR Enhanced Drilling. Following this, inAugust, a demerger of the company was completed. With thedemerger completed, AGR is now a service companyfocusing on exploration, development and productionservices.

In 2012 we developed a new strategic plan for the companyand since then the business has focused on delivering on thisplan. I believe the performance in 2013 shows that we noware working according to a plan that ensures best possibledevelopment of the business and that the financial resultsclearly demonstrate the potential in AGR as a focused well-and reservoir management business.

Software Solutions was established as a new business line forAGR in 2013. This was one of the key strategic targets forthe year. The division was established mid-2013 and duringthe last six months of the year three new software systemswere launched and successfully commercialised. With thenew software products, AGR now offers a full suite ofsoftware solutions for well planning, cost tracking duringoperations, material and logistics management and efficientexperience transfer. All software systems have been tailor-made for drilling departments within oil companies based onextensive experience from AGR’s Well Management groups

from around the world. It is expected that there will bestrong growth in global drilling activity until 2020 and withshortage of resources already apparent in the industry, Ibelieve there will be a demand for increased efficiency andmore automated work processes in order to utilise availablehuman capacity in the most optimum way in the future. Thisnew business line should therefore be well positioned forstrong future growth, as it enables the end user to plan theirwell projects in a smarter and more efficient way.

- AGR has drilled over 500 wells...

Another key focus for us has been to strengthen our presencewithin production drilling and establish a broaderrelationship with the larger oil companies. AGR has drilledover 500 wells during the last 13 years and the majority ofthese wells have been exploration and appraisal wells for smallExploration and Production (E&P) companies. Despite thisunique track-record, only very few of the wells drilled havebeen production wells. We see a growing demand for ourservices and expertise throughout the value chain of oil andgas and established, based on this increased demand, a planfor growing our market presence within production drilling.This started to pay off in 2013, being the first year in thehistory of the company we delivered as many productionwells as exploration wells.

Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE) remains ournumber one priority and in a year with significant increase inthe activity level and with improved financial performance itis a pleasure to see that we are able to continue to improvethe performance year by year. During 2013 we did not haveany incidents with serious personal injuries or damage toequipment and at end of the year the H-value is down to 3.2.

This year, Annual Report contains the first AGRSustainability Report, ref. Section AGR SustainabilityReport. This first Sustainability Report describes AGRactivities in Norway and UK. It is critically important toAGR to operate and expand our activities being in control ofpossible impact on health and safety of our personnel and tothe environment, and in compliance with:

• laws and regulations wherever we operate• our business code of conduct which is based on

international acknowledged standards .

3ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Our industry leading well- and reservoir managementservices continued to deliver professional performance onsome of the industry’s greatest challenges last year, beatingour own records for deep wells with high pressure and hightemperature as well as several other state of the art projects. Iwas very pleased to see the market continue to accept ourconcept for outsourced well management services, withseveral NOC’s and majors now endorsing it and with Statoilawarding significant Well Management projects to AGR lastyear.

The global demand for rig days is estimated to increase by6 % annually over the next years, so we expect the demandfor our services to continue to grow in 2014. We willcontinue to deliver on an ambitious business plan tocontinue strengthening AGR’s market position globally andfurther improve our business performance and health, safetyand environment (HSE) performance.

contract secured in 2013 was a Total Well Managementcontract for executing, planning, operations and post wellactivity for drilling and well operations for Genel and Medoilfor 10 wells over the next 24 months by using the Noble PaulRomano rig. The duration of the contract was two years or10 wells, whichever is reached first. Planning of the first wellstarted in 2013 and drilling operations are expected tocommence in March 2014. When entering into 2014 AGRhas secured significant work in all regions.

The high activity level in 2013 generated NOK 175 MillionEBITDA, up from NOK 105 million in 2012. Included inthese numbers are also costs related to the demerger of thebusiness and other non-recurring items, meaning that theunderlying operational performance was stronger thanreported. In 2013 the business spudded 21 wells and has intotal spudded 513 wells the last thirteen years.

At the time of the demerger of AGR, the company alsoreduced its ownership in AGR Energy from 100% to 44%.

Norway and Russia

Sjur Talstad, EVP Norway and Russia

AGR in Norway experienced a very high activity level acrossall areas during 2013. The Well Management divisiondelivered Well Management Services on seven different rigsand delivered a total of 18 wells in a safe and efficientmanner to multiple operators during the year. A productiondrilling campaign was executed on the Volve asset for Statoilunder the Total Well Management contract in addition toproduction wells on Oseberg Sør and Vega. The three yearBorgland Dolphin campaign continued during the year andthe new Bredford Dolphin campaign started in September.Exploration drilling for Lundin, Faroe and RWE wasdelivered using a semi, a jack-up rig as well as a drill ship.Two wells for OMV in the northern part of the Barents Seawere also executed successfully. A proactive HSEQ attitudewas secured through heavy involvement from the HSEQServices department in addition to AGR’s Operational HSEdelivering Safety Coaches on several AGR operated rigs andother rigs in Norway and internationally.

The Reservoir Management division experienced a very active

year with exploration, field development and field operationsstudies for several operators and authorities. The organisationwas strengthened during the year both in the Oslo andStavanger offices. Several verification and M&A supportanalyses were performed for several operators. Interest for ourmulti-client studies within exploration remained high. TheMoscow reservoir office was active within their reservoirstudy offering.

The Facilities division supported Lundin in their first fielddevelopment project on Brynhild.

AGR Consultancy secured a renewal of the Consultancycontract for drilling and well personnel with Statoil. Severalextensions and new contracts were also entered into with newoperators.

A dedicated rig team was established to secure new rigcapacity for operators on the NCS. Jorunn Sætre wasappointed head of the rig team in addition to Office Managerfor the growing AGR Stavanger office.

At the start of 2013 AGR commenced the close out anddemobilisation phase of the successful four well deepwaterproject in the Falkland Islands which concluded operationswith the Leiv Eiriksson in December 2012. Also early in theyear the Aphrodite 2 well offshore Israel was successfullycompleted within AFE time and cost. Operations were closedout and equipment demobilised. However, the overall WellManagement activity level was unusually low with only onewell spudded.

UK, West Africa and ME

In May a multi-well management contract was signed withGenel Energy to support Genel operated activity over a twoyear period initially in Malta and Morocco. Later in the yearthe Noble Paul Romano semi-submersible rig was contractedfor the work. This work was scheduled to commence inSeptember 2013 but because of extensive rig upgrades andshipyard delays, commencement of the operations phase isnow expected in April 2014.

Significant well planning, supply-base set up and third partyservices contracting activity took place in 2013 nonetheless.A contract was signed for a one-well programme offshoreGuinea Bissau with Svenska Petroleum to be drilled in thesecond half of 2013 but again due to rig availability issuesthis well was also deferred to a 2014 start. After some timeconducting a search for a suitable rig, AGR was able tobroker a rig sharing arrangement between Ophir, one of ourAPAC clients and STARC for whom we had been contractedto deliver one deep water well.

Ian Burdis, EVP UK & West Africa

With the combined demand of one well in EquatorialGuinea for STARC and one in Ghana for Ophir the StenaDrillmax DP drillship was secured for the work. The well forSTARC was drilled successfully and considerably under AFEtime and cost. In addition to the Full Well Managementcontracts, well design engineering work was undertaken on anumber of projects yet to be executed. A well in Tunisia forCooper Energy was completed and tested in late 2012 andplans were made for a re-entry, sidetrack and further test in2014.

During the year the Reservoir group executed significantprojects for Maersk, Talisman, Premier, National GridCarbon, MOL and BP. Major contracts were signed withGNPC and BP-ADMA for large scale studies which,commencing in 2013, will ensure high utilisation of resourcesthroughout 2014 and beyond. The strategic aim of recruitinggeomechanics expertise was realised and this has proven keyin linking integrated projects involving both Reservoir andWell Management resources which now forms a growingcomponent of the business. The training division of theReservoir group represented the highest growth area for theregion in 2013 carrying out 193 courses in 2013. At the endof the year, 112 courses had already been pre-booked for2014.

2013 has seen AGR strengthen its position in the Asia Pacificmarket. As a result of initiating a strategic developmentprogramme in late 2012, the company has seen significantprogress in several business areas, particularly subsea andsoftware solutions.

Asia Pacific

Throughout 2013, AGR has been planning theabandonment of an offshore field in the region, includingsubsea wells. This project will be completed in 2014 andthese types of activities will remain a key focus in 2014 andbeyond as the company continues to build its subsea teambased on the experience gained from this initial contract.

AGR has developed a comprehensive software offering inrecent years and with the appointment of a BusinessDevelopment Manager in the region, has managed to secureits first software sale in Australia with land operator

“Drillsearch” who have recognised the benefits of utilisingP1™ in the planning and execution of wells in SouthAustralia.

Well Management remains core to the company with severalmajor contracts having been secured over the course of 2013with operators such as Hunt Oil, Minza Petroleum, OttoEnergy and CalEnergy. Regional opportunities have also beenidentified in Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar andIndia.

Leveraging on the synergies between Well Management,Reservoir Management, Software and Consultancy hasresulted in the establishment of several Master ServiceAgreements with other Engineering groups that lack thesecompetencies within their own local organisations. This is thecase with Wood Group Kenny, Worley Parsons and RPS, allof whom regard AGR as their preferred partner when theyrequire drilling and/or reservoir expertise.

Bruce Roebuck, EVP Asia Pacific

2013 started off with a new management team in place andwas immediately challenged with the task of replacing therevenue from McMoran, who was cutting back on theiractivity, the historical number one revenue generating clientfor AGR Americas for many years. Emphasis on existingcontracts with other top five clients was made top priority inorder to maintain market share. Ongoing ventures thatincluded Karoon Brazil and the placement of a new supportstructure for Karoon Peru will occupy AGR through 2015once drilling commences in both areas of South America. AsADTI shut down all activity in the US, AGR was able toreplace ADTI and is now the primary supplier for the WestAfrica Operations and other areas like Romania. Other newcontracts, like a new contract with Chevron will be finalisedin 2014 and AGR will place emphasis on the land shale playregions in West Texas and the North East. Eagle Ford activityhas stabilised with no significant fluctuations in the overallUS land rig activity in 2013.

Patrick McKinley, EVP Americas

Software has grown to be an important element of AGR’sproduct offering. In June 2013 AGR Software Solutions wasmade a separate business unit and Petter Mathisen hired tohead it up. The strategy was to raise awareness of AGR’svarious software tools which include P1™, Cost Tracker(CT™), M²™ and iQ�™. The aim was to increase salesacross all AGR regions and further develop the products tomeet client needs.

Software

Petter Mathisen, VP Software Solutions

Towards the end of July 2013, AGR increased its ownershipin WDO owning the iQ�™ software from 50% to 56% inorder to establish primary control of the product andintegrate it with the AGR Software portfolio.

A marketing strategy was put into place to give all products auniform set of logos and marketing material.

With P1™ being the only sold product by June 2013, a highfocus throughout the year was given to the other products.Towards the end of the year all regions had managed tosecure sales.

AGR E&P

During 2011, AGR established AGR Energy whichdeveloped through 2012 and 2013. AGR is the Operator ofseveral licenses in Israel, holding 5% of each license. Inaddition, through AGR’s 44% ownership in AGR Energy,AGR holds an interest in a deepwater oilfield in Ghana.

2014 Operations

AGR’s Board of Directors emphasises that there is always anelement of uncertainty related to the delivery of businessperformance and forward looking projections.

The market outlook for 2014 and beyond is very strong.Market Outlook data used for forward planning of thebusiness indicates a 6% annual growth in number of rig daysuntil the end of 2016, while the core client base of AGR isexpected to increase their activity with 78% by 2020. Thehigh demand for the drilling of wells in combination with ashortage of resources creates a strong foundation forcontinued growth of AGR. The company is the number oneprovider of independent drilling management, and with ourglobal footprint we are well positioned to capture asignificant share of the future growth in drilling activity.

- the core client base of AGR isexpected to increase their activity...

Our expectation is that there will be a high demand for ourservices and software solutions going forward, as drillingefficiency, cost efficiency and safety during drilling operationswill be vital for oil companies to deliver on their explorationplans.

Entering into 2014, the business has an order backlog at thesame level as when entering into 2013, while the activity levelentering into 2014 is high and significantly up from year end2012.

At the General Meeting held on 24 May 2013, Eivind Reitenand Celeste Mackie were reelected for a two year period.

Information concerning remuneration of the Board ofDirectors, the Chief Executive Officer and the AGR’sExecutive Management can be found in Note 25 Wages,Fees, Number of Employees etc. to the consolidated financialstatements. The compensation for the AGR’s external auditorcan also be found in Note 25.

Risk Management and Internal Control

Svein Sollund, CFO

Effective controls ensure that the group is not exposed toavoidable risk, that proper accounting records have beenmaintained, that the financial information used within thebusiness is reliable and that the consolidated accountspreparation and financial reporting processes comply with allrelevant regulatory reporting requirements. The dynamics ofthe group and the environment in which it operates arecontinually evolving together with its exposure to risk. Theinternal control system is designed to manage rather thaneliminate the risk of assets being unprotected and to guardagainst their unauthorised use and the failure to achievebusiness objective. Internal controls can only providereasonable and not absolute assurance against materialmisstatement or loss.

Internal control

The directors confirm that there is an ongoing process foridentifying, evaluating and managing the risk faced by thegroup and the operational effectiveness of the relatedcontrols, which has been in place for the year under reviewand up to the date of approval of the annual report andaccounts. They also confirm that they have regularly reviewedthe system of internal control utilising the review process setout below.

AGR has established a Finance Manual laying out the roles,responsibilities and timelines for the accounting proceduresincluding guidelines on the minimum level of internalcontrol that each of the subsidiary companies should exerciseover specified processes. The internal control process has beenformalised and implemented where all subsidiaries arecarrying out a self-assessment of the internal control, andsigning off on an internal control questionnaire.

Standard

The internal control questionnaire is standardised and similarfor all subsidiaries, and includes questions about financialcontrol, IT systems, transfer pricing, inventory, accountsreceivables, fixed assets, cash, accounts payable, revenue

recognition, cost accruals and so on. The questionnaire isbased on the group policy, and provides adequatedocumentation that the policy is implemented.

All companies prepare annual operating plans and budgets,and business strategies are prepared at regional level andapproved by the board. In addition AGR prepares financialforecast that are presented to the board at least two times peryear. Detailed actual financial segment information isprepared monthly; performance compared to budget ismonitored at company and group level. In addition, actualperformance is compared to latest forecast and prior year on amonthly basis including analysis of any significant variances.

Capital expenditure and investment decisions are treated as apart of the budget and forecast processes. Details about whohas right to approve investments are described in anauthorisation matrix. The cash position of the group ismonitored on a daily basis and variances from expected levelsare investigated thoroughly.

An important factor in ensuring accurate financial reportingis good IT controls. There are several IT controls in place toaccess the accounting systems for the year as a whole and atthe year-end these controls have been intensified.

Turnover for AGR increased from NOK 1 281 million in2012 to NOK 1 395 million in 2013. Operating profit forAGR was positive NOK 155 million compared to NOK 83million in 2012.

Financial Risk

Financial risk factors

AGR’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks:market risk (including currency-, interest rate- and pricerisk), credit risk and liquidity risk. AGR’s overall riskmanagement program seeks to reduce potential adverseeffects from financial risks on AGR’s financial performance.AGR uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certainrisk exposures.

Risk management is carried out by a central treasurydepartment (Group Treasury) under policies approved by theboard of directors. AGR Treasury identifies, evaluates andhedges financial risks in co-operation with AGR’s operatingunits. The board provides a financial risk management policycovering foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity riskand credit risk.

(i) Foreign exchange risk

Market risk

AGR operates internationally and is exposed to foreignexchange risk arising from various currency exposures,primarily with respect to the US dollar, Australian dollar andthe UK pound. Foreign exchange risk arises from futurecommercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities andnet investments in foreign operations.

AGR’s Financial risk policy states that 12 month forecastednet currency exposure shall be maximum 60 million in NOKequivalents. Positions are reviewed quarterly. Hedging of thenet currency exposure is conducted by applying currencyderivatives.

(ii) Price risk

AGR has very limited exposure to equity securities price riskdue to especially limited investments held by AGR classifiedon the consolidated balance sheet as fair value through profitor loss.

AGR is indirectly exposed to oil price changes.

(iii) Interest rate risk

AGR’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings.Borrowings issued at variable rates expose AGR to cash flowinterest rate risk. AGR’s policy is that long-term borrowingsshall be based on floating interest rates, however interest ratederivatives could be applied in order to avoid catastrophiclosses due to interest rate changes.

AGR manages its interest rate risk by applying derivativessuch as interest rate collar swaps, in order to establish a capon interest rates in case of significant increase in marketinterest rates. In addition, the group has formerly applied

Page 15: Annual Report 2013 - AGR reports/Annual Report 2013.pdf · 2014. 4. 25. · ANNUAL REPORT 2013 2 Annual Report 2013 AGR Group ASA Comp. reg. no: 986 922 113. Åge Landro, CEO AGR

13ANNUAL REPORT 2013

floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swapshave the economic effect of converting borrowings fromfloating rates to fixed rates.

At 31 December 2013 AGR held no interest rate derivativecontracts.

The risk that counterparties fail to fulfill their financialobligations is considered low as AGR’s historical losses relatedto receivables have been low. The majority of the Group'sdebtors are publicly listed Norwegian and international oilcompanies. The Petroleum Services client base consists ofsmall to large oil companies. Some of these customers havemoderate credit risk potential. The AGR policy is to obtainfinancial guarantees from debtors where the credit risk andexposure is considered to be high. In addition, AGR has putin place credit insurance where a majority of AGR’sreceivables are insured in order to reduce credit risk. Theoverall credit risk is thus considered to be low.

Credit risk

Delayed payments from several large customers at the sametime could have a significant impact on AGR´s liquidity.AGR´s management and the individual business units havefocussed highly on working capital management, andcontinuously take action if clients do not settle theirobligations towards AGR in due time. The Group´s policy isto reduce the liquidity risk by having a long term loan facilitycommitted from relationship banks and/or bondholders. TheGroup shall at any time have unused credits at least equal tonext quarter’s interest & amortisation requirements underAGR’s loan facility.

Liquidity risk

At 31 December 2013 the Group had undrawn committedcredit lines amounting to NOK 86 million.

AGR Group ASA is the listed parent company and its mainactivity is to act as the owner of the shares in its subsidiaries.The operating result in 2013 was negative NOK 4 millioncompared to negative NOK 19 million in 2012.

Parent Company

The net result in 2013 was NOK 37 million compared tonegative NOK 55 million for 2012.

Accumulated cash flow from the company’s operations wasnegative NOK 11 million. Total net cash flow was negativeNOK 3 million.

The total assets were NOK 506 million compared to NOK935 million the previous year. The equity to asset ratio was95 % at 31 December 2013. Of the total equity of NOK 481million, share capital accounts for 29 %.

Continued Operation

The Board has considered the factors above in relation tocontinued operations and concluded that in accordance withthe Accounting Act §3-3a, we confirm that the financialstatements have been prepared under the assumption of agoing concern.

The key assumptions made in the impairment test reflect theBoard’s current assessment of AGR’s potential to adapt to andbenefit from trends in the oil services industry. Managementbelieves that the expectations reflected in the forward lookingforecasts used as a basis for the impairment reviews, arereasonable. However, as the impairment valuations are basedon forward looking information, they will involve risk anduncertainty.

Corporate Governance Report 2013

This statement presents a review of AGR’sprinciples for corporate governance andcompliance with the Norwegian Code ofPractice for Corporate Governance of 4December 2007 (Code of Practice) and notesAGR’s actions and where relevant anydeviations from each of the requirements. Ifno deviation is stated then there have been nodeviations from the Code of Practice.

This Policy was adopted by the Board of Directors on 5November 2007 and has thereafter been regularly updated. Itis predominantly based on the guidelines on CorporateGovernance (Anbefaling for Eierstyring og Selskapsledelse) of21 October 2010 and updated 20 October 2011. This isavailable on AGR ’s website (www.agr.com).

Implementation and reporting on corporategovernance

AGR’s principles for corporate governance detail an adequatedivision of the tasks and positions of AGR’s owners, theBoard and the executive management. An adequate divisionof tasks and positions provide for the adoption andimplementation of objectives and strategies, and theachievement of the objectives is subject to evaluation and isfollowed up.

Furthermore, the principles contribute to keeping thebusiness of AGR under appropriate supervision. An adequatedivision of tasks and supervision contributes to the bestpossible long term profitability, to the benefit of theshareholders and other stakeholders.

This statement sets out AGR’s compliance with each sectionof the Code of Practice, and also notes any deviations fromthe Code of Practice and the reasons for such deviation.

AGR will not be issuing an extensive Annual Report for2013. It is not a legal requirement that AGR issue such anannual report and instead, AGR is issuing this statement ofcompliance with the Code of Practice, the Directors Reportand a summary of the 2013 figures together with the fullaudited annual accounts. This approach has been taken as aresult of AGR’s shareholder base, whereby AGR has onemajor shareholder owning 73% of AGR. With fewer retailinvestors this approach is seen as more cost effective andenvironmentally friendly whilst nonetheless providing allshareholders with sufficient information and reporting asrequired by law.

The Board of AGR has laid down AGR’s values and ethicalguidelines. The values of AGR are outlined on AGR’swebsite.

Business

AGR’s objectives are laid down in article 3 of the Articles ofAssociation which reads as follows: The objective, as laiddown in the Articles, outlines the parameters within whichAGR operates, and offers the shareholders certainty withregards to the type of activities which AGR will undertake.AGR’s main objectives and strategies are presented on AGR’swebsite.

“The Company is engaged in trade, industry, real estateinvestments and related activities, including participation inother companies with similar activities as well as investmentsin real property, securities and other assets”

The book equity of AGR as of 31 December 2013 was NOK479 million which represents an equity ratio of 36%. Basedon the company’s objectives, strategies and risk profile, AGRconsiders the equity ratio as satisfactory. It is an objective forAGR to yield a competitive profit from the shareholders’investment. AGR’s dividend profile shall at the same timeensure AGR’s need for stability and development inaccordance with its objectives and strategies. AGR has notdistributed any dividends in the last year.

Equity and Dividens

AGR has one class of shares, and all shares hold equal votingrights in AGR. AGR prioritises the furtherance of theinterests of the shareholders, and equal treatment ofshareholders.

Equal treatment of shareholders and transactions withclose associates

AGR’s Corporate Governance Policy establishes the guidingprinciple that the Board shall act in the best interests of allshareholders. The company does not own any AGR shares.

In the event of transactions, other than immaterialtransactions, between AGR and shareholders, Boardmembers, members of the executive management or anypersons related to these, the Board shall in accordance withits policies, procure that the transaction is based on avaluation prepared by an independent third party. If requiredpursuant to section 3-8 of the Public Limited Companies Actand when the consideration exceeds 5% of AGR’s sharecapital, the transaction will be put to the general meeting forapproval.

AGR’s Corporate Governance Policy establishes principleswhich require members of the Board and the executivemanagement to report to the Board in the event that theyhave any material interest in AGR’s agreements.

It is AGR’s preference to have the members of the Board, theNomination Committee and the auditor attend the generalmeeting. A representative of AGR’s auditors, EY, has beenpresent or available at all general meetings during thereporting period.

Proxy forms have been supplied with all notices of a generalmeeting. In accordance with the Public Limited CompaniesAct shareholders may raise items for consideration by themeeting prior to the meeting, provided that such suggestionsare submitted at least two weeks prior to the general meeting.

AGR had a copy of the notice of meeting for all generalmeetings held during the period available or referred to on itswebsite and the notices include proxy forms. Each candidatenominated for election was described by the Chairman of theNomination Committee and elected by voting for all, as agroup. AGR did not conduct a vote on each candidate forelection, however, if this had been requested by theshareholders present then this would have been done.

During the reporting period AGR has provided informationregarding the membership of its Nomination Committeewith the notices of meeting issued for the 2013 AGMs.

There has been no specific mention on the Company’swebsite or in the notices or accompanying documentation tothe effect that the shareholders may propose candidates to theboard of directors. However, this is acknowledged in theNomination Committee Instructions and the NominationCommittee has approached the major shareholders of AGRwhen formulating its recommendations.

AGR does not have a corporate assembly. The Board ofDirectors is elected by the General Meeting.

Notes

Note 1 Accounting Principles

AGR Group ASA (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries(together ‘the Group’), is a leading supplier of services andsoftware to the oil and gas offshore industry. The Group’smain operations are based in Oslo, with other offices aroundthe world including Stavanger, Straume (Bergen), Aberdeen,Houston, Perth, Almaty, Dubai and Kuala Lumpur.

The company has provided goods and services for several ofthe world’s major oil and gas fields, with a customer basecomprising several small and medium sized operators as wellas a number of the large international oil companies.

The company is a limited liability company incorporated anddomiciled in Norway. The address of its registered office isKarenslyst allé 4, 0213 Oslo .

The Company is listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

AGR Group was demerged 7 August 2013 whereby DrillingServices was de-listed from Oslo Stock Exchange. Thedemerger is accounted for using the merger method. Thismeans that the demerger has not been accepted for as atransaction, but a capital decrease based on book values, andthere is no profit and loss effect of the demerger.

The demerger was implemented with effect from 1 January2013.

The Group consolidated financial statements were authorisedfor issue by the Board of Directors on 23 April 2014.

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparationof these consolidated financial statements are set out below.These policies have been consistently applied to all the yearspresented, unless otherwise stated.

Summary of significant accounting policies

The consolidated financial statements of AGR Group ASAhave been prepared in accordance with InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards as adopted by EU (IFRS) andIFRIC Interpretations.

The Group's financial statements have been prepared underthe historical cost convention, with exception of certainitems: Financial assets and financial liabilities (includingderivative instruments), which are reflected at fair valuethrough profit or loss.

The financial year follows the calendar year. Incomestatement items are classified by nature.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity withIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates.It also requires management to exercise its judgment in theprocess of applying the group’s accounting policies. The areasinvolving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areaswhere assumptions and estimates are significant to theconsolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 3.

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities)over which the group has the power to govern the financialand operating policies generally accompanying ashareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. Theexistence and effect of potential voting rights that arecurrently exercisable or convertible are considered whenassessing whether the Group controls another entity.Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on whichcontrol is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidatedfrom the date that control ceases.

Consolidation principles

a) Subsidiaries

The Group uses the acquisition method of accounting toaccount for business combinations. The considerationtransferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair valuesof the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equityinterests issued by the Group. The consideration transferredincludes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from acontingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition-relatedcosts are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquiredand liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a businesscombination are measured initially at their fair values at theacquisition date. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, theGroup recognises any non-controlling interest in theacquisition either at fair value or at the non-controllinginterest’s proportionate share of the acquired net assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount ofany non-controlling interest in the acquisition and theacquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest inthe acquisition over the fair value of the Group’s share of theidentifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If thisis less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiaryacquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference isrecognised directly in the statement of comprehensiveincome.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains ontransactions between Group companies are eliminated.Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies ofsubsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensureconsistency with the policies adopted by the group.

Page 31: Annual Report 2013 - AGR reports/Annual Report 2013.pdf · 2014. 4. 25. · ANNUAL REPORT 2013 2 Annual Report 2013 AGR Group ASA Comp. reg. no: 986 922 113. Åge Landro, CEO AGR

29ANNUAL REPORT 2013

(b) Transactions and non-controlling interests The Group treats transactions with non-controlling interestsas transactions with equity owners of the Group. Forpurchases from non-controlling interests, the differencebetween any consideration paid and the relevant shareacquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary isrecorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

When the Group ceases to have control or significantinfluence, any retained interest in the entity is remeasured toits fair value, with the change in carrying amount recognisedin profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amountfor the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retainedinterest as an associate, joint venture or financial asset. Inaddition, any amounts previously recognised in othercomprehensive income in respect of that entity are accountedfor as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assetsor liabilities. This may mean that amounts previouslyrecognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified toprofit or loss.

Associates are all entities over which the Group hassignificant influence but not control, generally accompanyinga shareholding of between 20% and 50% of the voting rights.Investments in associates are accounted for using the equitymethod of accounting and are initially recognised at cost.The Group’s investment in associates includes goodwillidentified on acquisition, net of any accumulated impairmentloss.

(c) Associates

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent withthe internal reporting provided to the chief operatingdecision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker, who isresponsible for allocating resources and assessing performanceof the operating segments, has been identified as the steeringcommittee that makes strategic decisions.

Segment reporting

The primary reporting segment is business segment and thesecondary reporting segment is geographical segment.Segment revenues and costs constitute the Group's operatingrevenue and operating costs that can be directly classified asactivities in the segments. Segment assets and liabilities arebalance sheet items that can be directly related to the segmentactivity. Segment revenue and costs include transactionsbetween the different segments (Group-internal transactions).Geographical segment information is presented and isspecified if the region's accumulated external revenues andassets exceed 10 % of total revenue/assets for the regions as awhole. Secondary segment information that fails to satisfy therequirement for specified reporting is presented as otherrevenues. Transactions between segments are made on arm'slength terms.

Functional currency and presentation currency

(a) Functional and presentation currency Items included in the financial statements of each of theGroup’s entities are measured using the currency of theprimary economic environment in which the entity operates(‘the functional currency’). The consolidated financialstatements are presented in Norwegian Kroner (‘NOK’),which is the company’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into thefunctional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at thedates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and lossesresulting from the settlement of such transactions and fromthe translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assetsand liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arerecognised in the income statement, except when deferred inequity as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying netinvestment hedges.

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowingsand cash and cash equivalents are presented in the incomestatement within ‘finance income or expense’. All otherforeign exchange gains and losses are presented in the incomestatement.

Changes in the fair value of monetary securities denominatedin foreign currency classified as available for sale are analysedbetween translation differences resulting from changes in theamortised cost of the security and other changes in thecarrying amount of the security. Translation differencesrelated to changes in amortised cost are recognised in profitor loss, and other changes in carrying amount are recognisedin equity.

Translation differences on non-monetary financial assets andliabilities such as equities held at fair value through profit orloss are recognised in profit or loss as part of the fair valuegain or loss. Translation differences on non-monetaryfinancial assets such as equities classified as available-for-saleare included in the available-for-sale reserve in equity.

The results and financial position of all the Group entities(none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationaryeconomy) that have a functional currency different from thepresentation currency are translated into the presentationcurrency as follows:

(c) Group companies

(1) assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented aretranslated at the closing rate at the date of that balance sheet;

(2) income and expenses for each income statement aretranslated at average exchange rates (unless this average is nota reasonable approximation of the cumulative effect of therates prevailing on the transaction dates, in which caseincome and expenses are translated at the rate on the dates ofthe transactions); and

Page 32: Annual Report 2013 - AGR reports/Annual Report 2013.pdf · 2014. 4. 25. · ANNUAL REPORT 2013 2 Annual Report 2013 AGR Group ASA Comp. reg. no: 986 922 113. Åge Landro, CEO AGR

30ANNUAL REPORT 2013

(3) all resulting exchange differences are recognised as aseparate component of equity.

On consolidation, exchange differences arising from thetranslation of the net investment in foreign operations, andof borrowings and other currency instruments designated ashedges of such investments, are taken to shareholders’ equity.When a foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold,exchange differences that were recorded in equity arerecognised in the income statement as part of the gain or losson sale.

Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on theacquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets andliabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closingrate.

Assets are classified as current assets when:Classification of assets and liabilities

- the asset is a part of the unit's service cycle and is expectedto be realised or used during the course of the unit's normalproduction period;

- the asset is held for trading purposes and is expected to berealised within 12 months of balance sheet date;

- the asset is cash or cash equivalent.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

Liabilities are classified as current liabilities when:

- the liability is a part of the unit's service range, and isexpected to be settled during the course of normalproduction period;

- the liability is kept for trading purposes;

- settlement has been agreed within 12 months after balancesheet date;

- the unit does not have an unconditional right to postponesettlement of the liability until at least 12 months afterbalance sheet date;

All other liabilities are classified as non-current.

Property, plant and equipment, are valued at cost lessaccumulated depreciation and write-downs. When assets aresold or divested, cost and accumulated depreciation arereversed in the financial statements, and any loss or gain onthe disposal is recognised in the income statement.

Property, plant and equipment

The cost of property, plant and equipment comprises thepurchase price, including duties/taxes and direct acquisitioncosts linked to making the asset fit for use. Expenses accruedafter the asset has been taken into use, such as repairs and

maintenance, are normally recognised in the incomestatement. In cases where increased earnings can bedemonstrated as a result of repairs/maintenance, theexpenditure on this will be recognised in the balance sheet asadditions to property, plant and equipment.

Depreciation on other assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost or revalued amounts totheir residual values over their estimated useful lives, asfollows:

– Machinery 5-10 years

– Vehicles 3-5 years

– Furniture, fittings and equipment 3-8 years

The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, andadjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

Assets under construction are classified as property, plantand equipment. Assets under construction are notdepreciated until the asset has been taken into use.

The write-down requirement for fixed assets is assessed ifthere are indications of impairment. If the carrying amountof an asset is higher than the recoverable amount, a write-down is recognised in the income statement. The recoverableamount is the higher of fair value less expected costs to selland value in use.

Fair value less expected costs to sell is the amount which canbe obtained if the asset is sold to an independent third party,less costs to sell. Recoverable amounts are determinedseparately for all assets, but – if impossible – recoverableamount is calculated together with the unit to which the assetbelongs.

Write-downs which have been recognised in the incomestatement in previous periods are reversed if there isinformation to suggest that the write-down no longer exists.However, no reversal is made if the carrying amount is higherthan it would have been if normal depreciation had beenused.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparingthe proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognisedwithin ‘other operating revenue’ in the income statement.

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquisitionover the fair value of the group’s share of the net identifiableassets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition.Goodwill on acquisitions of subsidiaries is included in‘intangible assets’. Goodwill is tested annually forimpairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment

losses. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. Gainsand losses on the disposal of an entity include the carryingamount of goodwill relating to the entity sold.

Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for the purposeof impairment testing. The allocation is made to those cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units that areexpected to benefit from the business combination.

Separately acquired trademarks and licences are shown athistorical cost. Trademarks and licences acquired in a businesscombination are recognised at fair value at the acquisitiondate. Trademarks and licences have a finite useful life and arecarried at cost less accumulated amortisation. Amortisation iscalculated using the straight-line method to allocate the costof trademarks and licences over their estimated useful lives of15 to 20 years.

(b) Trademarks and licences

Contractual customer relationships acquired in a businesscombination are recognised at fair value at the acquisitiondate. The contractual customer relations have a finite usefullife and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation.Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method overthe expected life of the customer relationship (3-8 years)

Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on thebasis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use thespecific software. These costs are amortised over theirestimated useful lives (3-4 years).

(d) Computer software

Costs associated with maintaining computer software arerecognised as an expense as incurred. Costs that are directlyassociated with the production of identifiable and uniquesoftware products controlled by the Group, and that areprobable to generate economic benefits exceeding costsbeyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. Directcosts include the software development employee costs andan appropriate portion of relevant overheads.

Computer software development costs recognised as assets areamortised over their estimated useful lives (3-4years).

Expenses relating to research are recognised in the incomestatement when they are incurred. Expenses relating todevelopment are recognised in the income statement whenthey are incurred unless the following criteria are met in full:

(e) Research and development

- ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable tothe intangible asset during its development;

- the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset sothat it will be available for use or sale, has been demonstrated;

- the intention and ability to complete the intangible assetand sell it or use it in the company’s operations has beendemonstrated;

- the intangible asset will generate probable future economicbenefits; and

- availability of sufficient technical, financial and otherresources for completing the project are present.

When all the above criteria are met, the costs relating todevelopment start to be recognised in the balance sheet.Costs that have been charged as expenses in previousaccounting periods are not recognised in the balance sheet.

Recognised development costs are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset (5-8years). The recoverable amount of the development costs willbe estimated when there is an indication of impairment orthat the need for previous periods’ impairment losses nolonger exists and should be reversed to the original cost.

Acquired technology, licenses and customer relationships arecapitalised and carried at cost less accumulated amortisation.

f ) Other intangible assets

Amortisation is calculated using the straight-line method overtheir estimated useful lives.

Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for examplegoodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are testedannually for impairment. Assets that are subject toamortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events orchanges in circumstances indicate that the carrying amountmay not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised forthe amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds itsrecoverable amount.

Impairment of non-financial assets

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair valueless costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes ofassessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levelsfor which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwillthat suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal ofthe impairment at each reporting date.

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assetsheld for sale when their carrying amount is to be recoveredprincipally through a sale transaction and a sale is consideredhighly probable. They are stated at the lower of carryingamount and fair value less costs to sell if their carryingamount is to be recovered principally through a saletransaction rather than through continuing use.

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

The Group classifies its financial assets in the followingFinancial assets

categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans andreceivables, and available-for-sale. The classification dependson the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired.Management determines the classification of its financialassets at initial recognition.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss arefinancial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classifiedin this category if acquired principally for the purpose ofselling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised asheld for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Assetsin this category are classified as current assets.

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

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets withfixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in anactive market. They are included in current assets, except formaturities greater than 12 months after the balance sheetdate. These are classified as non-current assets. The Group’sloans and receivables comprise ‘trade and other receivables’and cash and cash equivalents in the balance sheet

(b) Loans and receivables

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that areeither designated in this category or not classified in any ofthe other categories. They are included in non-current assetsunless management intends to dispose of the investmentwithin 12 months of the balance sheet date.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

Regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognisedon the trade-date – the date on which the Group commits topurchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognisedat fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets notcarried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assetscarried at fair value through profit or loss is initiallyrecognised at fair value and transaction costs are expensed inthe income statement. Financial assets are derecognised whenthe rights to receive cash flows from the investments haveexpired or have been transferred and the group hastransferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.Available-for-sale financial assets and financial assets at fairvalue through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fairvalue. Loans and receivables are carried at amortised costusing 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’ categoryare presented in the income statement.

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting periodwhether there is objective evidence that a financial asset orgroup of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or agroup of financial assets is impaired and impairment lossesare incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairmentas a result of one or more events that occurred after the initialrecognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or

Impairment of financial assets

events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows ofthe financial asset or group of financial assets that can bereliably estimated.

The criteria that the Group uses to determine that there isobjective evidence of an impairment loss include:

- significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;

- a breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency ininterest or principal payments;

- the Group, for economic or legal reasons relating to theborrower’s financial difficulty, granting to the borrower aconcession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

- it becomes probable that the borrower will enterbankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;

- the disappearance of an active market for that financialasset because of financial difficulties; or

- observable data indicating that there is a measurabledecrease in the estimated future cash flows from a portfolio offinancial assets since the initial recognition of those assets,although the decrease cannot yet be identified with theindividual financial assets in the portfolio, including:

(i) adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in theportfolio;

(ii) national or local economic conditions that correlate withdefaults on the assets in the portfolio.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence ofimpairment exists.

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference betweenthe asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimatedfuture cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have notbeen incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s originaleffective interest rate. The asset’s carrying amount of the assetis reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in theconsolidated income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturityinvestment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate formeasuring any impairment loss is the current effectiveinterest rate determined under the contract. As a practicalexpedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basisof an instrument’s fair value using an observable marketprice.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment lossdecreases and the decrease can be related objectively to anevent occurring after the impairment was recognised (such asan improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal ofthe previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in theconsolidated income statement.

33ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date aderivative contract is entered into and are subsequentlyremeasured at their fair value. The method of recognising theresulting gain or loss depends on whether the derivative isdesignated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature ofthe item being hedged. The Group does not use hedgeaccounting according to IAS 39, and all financial derivativesare thus posted at fair value where changes in values areaccounted for in the income statement.

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisablevalue. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)method. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price inthe ordinary course of business, less applicable variable sellingexpenses. Costs of inventories include the transfer fromequity of any gains/losses on qualifying cash flow hedgespurchases of raw materials

Inventories

Obsolete inventories have been fully recognised asimpairment losses.

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers formerchandise sold or services performed in the ordinarycourse of business. If collection is expected in one year or less(or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer),they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presentedas noncurrent assets.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised initially at fair value andsubsequently measured at amortised cost using the effectiveinterest method, less provision for impairment. Discountingoccurs only if the receivable are significant.

Cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, depositsheld at call with banks, other short-term highly liquidinvestments with original maturities of three months or less,and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown withinborrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

Cash and cash equivalents

The cash and cash equivalent amount in the cash flowstatement includes overdraft facilities.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costsdirectly attributable to the issue of new shares or options areshown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from theproceeds.

Share capital

Where any Group company purchases the company’s equityshare capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid,including any directly attributable incremental costs (net ofincome taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to thecompany’s equity holders until the shares are cancelled or

reissued. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, anyconsideration received, net of any directly attributableincremental transaction costs and the related income taxeffects, is included in equity attributable to the company’sequity holders.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or servicesthat have been acquired in the ordinary course of businessfrom suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as currentliabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in thenormal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, theyare presented as non-current liabilities.

Trade payables

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value andsubsequently measured at amortised cost using the effectiveinterest method. Discounting occurs only if the payable aresignificant

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net oftransaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequentlystated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds(net of transaction costs) and the redemption value isrecognised in the income statement over the period of theborrowings using the effective interest method.

Borrowings

Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities arerecognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that itis probable that some or all of the facility will be drawndown. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-downoccurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probablethat some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee iscapitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services andamortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless theGroup has an unconditional right to defer settlement of theliability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The tax expense for the period comprises current anddeferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement,except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directlyin equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in equity,respectively.

Current and deferred income tax

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis ofthe tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balancesheet date in the countries where the company’s subsidiariesand associates operate and generate taxable income.Management periodically evaluates positions taken in taxreturns with respect to situations in which applicable taxregulation is subject to interpretation. It establishesprovisions where appropriate on the basis of amountsexpected to be paid to the tax authorities.

Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method,on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of

Page 36: Annual Report 2013 - AGR reports/Annual Report 2013.pdf · 2014. 4. 25. · ANNUAL REPORT 2013 2 Annual Report 2013 AGR Group ASA Comp. reg. no: 986 922 113. Åge Landro, CEO AGR

assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in theconsolidated financial statements. However, the deferredincome tax is not accounted for if it arises from initialrecognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other thana business combination that at the time of the transactionaffects neither accounting nor taxable profit nor loss.Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws)that have been enacted or substantially enacted by thebalance sheet date and are expected to apply when the relateddeferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred incometax liability is settled.

Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extentthat it is probable that future taxable profit will be availableagainst which the temporary differences can be utilised.

Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differencesarising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, exceptwhere the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference iscontrolled by the group and it is probable that the temporarydifference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset whenthere is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assetsagainst current tax liabilities and when the deferred incometaxes assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by thesame taxation authority on either the taxable entity ordifferent taxable entities where there is an intention to settlethe balances on a net basis.

Group companies operate various pension schemes. Theschemes are generally funded through payments to insurancecompanies, determined by periodic actuarial calculations.The Group has both defined benefit and definedcontribution plans. A defined contribution plan is a pensionplan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into aseparate entity. The Group has no legal or constructiveobligations to pay further contributions if the fund does nothold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relatingto employee service in the current and prior periods. Adefined benefit plan is a pension plan that is not a definedcontribution plan. Typically, defined benefit plans define anamount of pension benefit that an employee will receive onretirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such asage, years of service and compensation.

Employee benefits

(a) Pension obligations

The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect ofdefined benefit pension plans is the present value of thedefined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less thefair value of plan assets, together with adjustments forunrecognised actuarial gains or losses and past service costs.The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually byindependent actuaries using the projected unit creditmethod. The present value of the defined benefit obligationis determined by discounting the estimated future cashoutflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds

that are denominated in the currency in which the benefitswill be paid and that have terms to maturity approximatingto the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experienceadjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions in excess ofthe greater of 10% of the value of plan assets or present valueof the defined benefit obligation at the end of the previousreporting period, are charged or credited to income over theemployees’ expected average remaining working lives.

Past-service costs are recognised immediately in income,unless the changes to the pension plan are conditional on theemployees remaining in service for a specified period of time(the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs areamortised on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

For defined contribution plans, the Group pays contributionsto publicly or privately administered pension insurance planson a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. The Grouphas no further payment obligations once the contributionshave been paid. The contributions are recognised as employeebenefit expense when they are due. Prepaid contributions arerecognised as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or areduction in the future payments is available.

Termination benefits are payable when employment isterminated by the group before the normal retirement date,or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy inexchange for these benefits. The Group recognisestermination benefits when it is demonstrably committed toeither: terminating the employment of current employeesaccording to a detailed formal plan without possibility ofwithdrawal; or providing termination benefits as a result ofan offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy. Benefitsfalling due more than 12 months after the balance sheet dateare discounted to their present value.

(b) Termination benefits

The Group recognises a provision where contractuallyobliged or where there is a past practice that has created aconstructive obligation.

(c) Bonus plans

Provisions are recognised when, and only when, the companyhas a present liability (legal or constructive) as a result ofevents that have taken place, it is probable that a financialoutflow will take place as a result of this liability, and that thesize of the amount can be estimated reliably. Provisions arereviewed on each balance sheet date and their level reflectsthe best estimate of the liability. When the effect of time isinsignificant, the provisions will be equal to the size of theexpense necessary to be free of the liability. When the effectof time is significant, the provisions will be the present valueof future payments to cover the liability. Any increase in theprovisions due to time is presented as interest costs.

Contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities are defined as:

(i) possible obligations resulting from past events whoseexistence depends on future events;

(ii) obligations that are not recognised because it is notprobable that they will lead to an outflow of resources; and

(iii) obligations that cannot be measured with sufficientreliability.

Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the annualfinancial statements, apart from contingent liabilities whichare acquired through the acquisition of an entity. Significantcontingent liabilities are disclosed, with the exception ofcontingent liabilities where the probability of the liabilityoccurring is remote.

Contingent liabilities acquired upon the purchase ofoperations are recognised at fair value even if the liability isnot probable. The assessment of probability and fair value issubject to constant review. Changes in the fair value arerecognised in the income statement.

A contingent asset is not recognised in the annual financialstatement unless deemed virtually certain to give rise to aninflow, but are disclosed where it is deemed probable that abenefit will accrue to the Group.

Revenue comprises the fair value of the considerationreceived or receivable for the sale of goods and services in theordinary course of the group’s activities. Revenue is shownnet of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts andafter eliminating sales within the group.

Revenue recognition

Revenue includes only the gross inflows of economic benefitsreceived and receivable by the entity on its own account.Amounts collected on behalf of third parties such as salestaxes, goods and services taxes and value added taxes are noteconomic benefits which flow to the entity and do not resultin increases in equity. Therefore, they are excluded fromrevenue. Similarly, when an agency relationship, the grossinflows of economic benefits include amounts collected onbehalf of the principal and which do not result in increases inequity for the entity. The amounts collected on behalf of theprincipal are not revenue. Instead, revenue is the amount ofcommission.

The Group recognises revenue when the amount of revenuecan be reliably measured, it is probable that future economicbenefits will flow to the entity and when specific criteria havebeen met for each of the group’s activities as described below.The amount of revenue is not considered to be reliablymeasurable until all contingencies relating to the sale havebeen resolved. The Group bases its estimates on historicalresults, taking into consideration the type of customer, thetype of transaction and the specifics of each arrangement.

The Group’s operations mainly consist of services related topersonnel and equipment hire. Consequently, the revenuerecognition is based on daily/monthly rates and actualregistered hours. Revenue is recognised when it is probablethat transactions will generate future economic benefits thatwill flow to the company and the revenue amount can bereliably estimated. Revenues from the sale of goods arerecognised in the income statement once delivery has takenplace, the risk has been transferred and the company hasestablished a receivable due by customer.

Revenues relating to projects are recognised in the incomestatement in line with the project’s progress and when theproject’s results can be reliably estimated. Level of completionis calculated as an incurred cost's percentage of anticipatedtotal cost. For projects expected to generate a loss, the fullestimated loss is recorded as cost immediately.

Interest income is recognised on a time-proportion basisusing the effective interest method. When a receivable isimpaired, the group reduces the carrying amount to itsrecoverable amount, being the estimated future cash flowdiscounted at the original effective interest rate of theinstrument, and continues unwinding the discount as interestincome. Interest income on impaired loans is recognisedusing the original effective interest rate.

Grants received are classified as either income grants orinvestment grants. Income grants are accounted for togetherwith the income as reduction of the costs to which it relates.Investment grants are posted as a pre-tax figure by recordingthe asset at gross acquisition cost and the asset is depreciatedover its usful life. The grant is treated as deferred income, andis accounted for as an adjustment entry for depreciations inline with the depreciation period.

Public grants

The Group receives grants from some of its collaboratingpartners to develop new technology. The grant is treated asdeferred income, and is accounted for as an adjustment entryfor depreciations in line with the depreciation period.

Other grants

Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewardsof ownership are retained by the lessor are classified asoperating leases. Payments made under operating leases (netof any incentives received from the lessor) are charged to theincome statement on a straight-line basis over the period ofthe lease.

Leases

Earnings per share are calculated by the majority's share ofthe result for the period being divided by a time-weightedaverage of ordinary shares for the period.

If a significant part of the Group’s operations is divested or adecision has been made to divest it, this business is presentedas “Discontinued operations” on a separate line of the incomestatement and the balance sheet. As a result, all the otherfigures presented are exclusive of the discontinued operations.The comparative figures in the income statement are restatedand presented on a single line with the discontinuedoperations. Comparative figures in the balance sheet are notcorrespondingly restated.

Discontinued operations

The Group applied, for the first time, certain standards andamendments. Due to materiality, none of these requiredrestatement of previous financial statements.

Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

IFRSs implemented

These include IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011), IFRS13 Fair Value Measurement and amendments to IAS 1Presentation of Financial Statements.

Several other amendments apply for the first time in 2013.However, they do not impact the annual consolidated

financial statements of the Group or the interim condensedconsolidated financial statements of the Group.

The nature and the impact of each new standards andamendments is described below:

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRSfor all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does not changewhen an entity is required to use fair value, but ratherprovides guidance on how to measure fair value under IFRS.IFRS 13 defines fair value as an exit price. As a result of theguidance in IFRS 13, the Group re-assessed its policies formeasuring fair values, in particular, its valuation inputs suchas non-performance risk for fair value measurement ofliabilities. IFRS 13 also requires additional disclosures.

Application of IFRS 13 has not materially impacted the fairvalue measurements of the Group. Additional disclosures

where required, are provided in the individual notes relatingto the assets and liabilities whose fair values were determined.

IAS 1 Presentation of Items of Other ComprehensiveIncome – Amendments to IAS 1

The amendments to IAS 1 introduce a grouping of itemspresented in OCI. Items that will be reclassified (‘recycled’)to profit or loss at a future point in time (e.g., net loss or gainon AFS financial assets) have to be presented separately fromitems that will not be reclassified (e.g., revaluation of landand buildings). The amendments affect presentation only andhave no impact on the Group’s financial position orperformance.

IAS 1 Clarification of the requirement for comparativeinformation (Amendment)

These amendments clarify the difference between voluntaryadditional comparative information and the minimum

required comparative information. An entity must includecomparative information in the related notes to the financialstatements when it voluntarily provides comparativeinformation beyond the minimum required comparativeperiod. The amendments clarify that the opening statementof financial position (as at 1 January 2012 in the case of theGroup), presented as a result of retrospective restatement orreclassification of items in financial statements does not haveto be accompanied by comparative information in the relatednotes. As a result, the Group has not included comparativeinformation in respect of the opening statement of financialposition as at 1 January 2012. The amendments affectpresentation only and have no impact on the Group’sfinancial position or performance.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits (Revised 2011)

The Group applied IAS 19 (Revised 2011) retrospectively inthe current period in accordance with the transitional

provisions set out in the revised standard. Due to materialitythe opening statement of financial position of the earliestcomparative period presented (1 January 2012) and thecomparative figures have not been accordingly restated.

IFRS 9 as issued reflects the first phase of the IASBs work onreplacement of IAS 39 and applies to classification andmeasurement of financial assets and financial liabilities asdefined in IAS 39. According to IFRS 9 financial assets withbasic loan features shall be measured at amortised cost, unlessone opts to measure these assets at fair value. All otherfinancial assets shall be measured at fair value. Theclassification and measurement of financial liabilities under

37ANNUAL REPORT 2013

IFRS 9 is a continuation from IAS 39, with the exception offinancial liabilities designated at fair value through profit orloss (fair value option), where change in fair value relating toown credit risk shall be separated and shall be presented inother comprehensive income. In subsequent phases, the IASBwill address hedge accounting and impairment of financialassets. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on orafter 1 January 2015, but the standard is not yet approved bythe EU. The Group expects to apply IFRS 9 as of 1 January2015.

IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated andSeparate Financial Statements that addresses the accountingfor consolidated financial statements. It also includes theissues raised in SIC-12 Consolidation —Special PurposeEntities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model thatapplies to all entities including special purpose entities. Thechanges introduced by IFRS 10 will require management toexercise significant judgement to determine which entities arecontrolled, and therefore, are required to be consolidated by aparent, compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27.The Group is currently assessing the impact that thisstandard will have on the financial position and performance.This standard becomes effective for annual periods beginningon or after 1 January 2014. The Group expects to apply IFRS10 as of 1 January 2014.

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures andSIC-13 Jointly-controlled Entities —Non-monetaryContributions by Venturers. IFRS 11 removes the option toaccount for jointly controlled entities (JCEs) usingproportionate consolidation. Instead, JCEs that meet thedefinition of a joint venture must be accounted for using theequity method. The Group is does not expect that the impactthat this standard will have any effect on the financialposition and performance. This standard becomes effectivefor annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. TheGroup expects to apply IFRS 11 as of 1 January 2014.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements

IFRS 12 includes all of the disclosures that were previously inIAS 27 related to consolidated financial statements, as well asall of the disclosures that were previously included in IAS 31and IAS 28. These disclosures relate to an entity’s interests insubsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and structuredentities. A number of new disclosures are also required. Thisstandard becomes effective for annual periods beginning onor after 1 January 2014. The Group expects to apply IFRS 12as of 1 January 2014.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Involvement with OtherEntities

The amendments clarify and provide further relief intransition guidance. These amendments becomes effective forannual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, but are

IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 Amendments -Transition guidance

not yet approved by the EU which will likely provide aneffective date on or after 1 January 2014. The Group expectsto apply these amendments when it implements IFRS 10,IFRS 11 and IFRS 12.

As a consequence of the new IFRS 10 and IFRS 12, whatremains of IAS 27 is limited to accounting for subsidiaries,jointly controlled entities, and associates in separate financialstatements. This revision will not have an impact on theconsolidated financial statements of the Group. IAS 27 asrevised in 2011 becomes effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after 1 January 2014. The Group expects toimplement the revised IAS 27 as of 1 January 2014.

IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (as revised in2011)

As a consequence of the new IFRS 11 and IFRS 12, IAS 28has been renamed IAS 28 Investments in Associates and JointVentures, and describes the application of the equity methodto investments in joint ventures in addition to associates. IAS28 as revised in 2011 becomes effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after 1 January 2014. The Group expects toimplement the revised IAS 28 as of 1 January 2014 and doesnot expect the amendment to have an impact on the Group.

IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures(as revised in 2011)

The amendments to IAS 32 clarify the meaning of "currentlyhas a legally enforceable right to set-off" and also clarify theapplication of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlementsystems (such as central clearing house systems) which applygross settlement mechanisms that are not simultaneously. Theamended IAS 32 is effective for annual periods beginning onor after 1 January 2014. The Group expects to implement theamended IAS 32 as of 1 January 2014.

Note 2 Financial Risk Management

Financial risk factors The Group’s activities are exposed to a variety of financial risks. Market risks including currency risk, interest rate risk, creditrisk and liquidity risk. The Group’s overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial marketsand seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group’s financial performance. The Group uses debt and derivativefinancial instruments to hedge certain risk exposures.

Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group Treasury) under policies approved by the board ofdirectors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in co-operation with the group’s operating units. Theboard provides risk management policies covering specific areas, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, liquidity riskand credit risk.

(i) Foreign exchange risk(a) Market risk

The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from various currency exposures,primarily with respect to the US and Australian Dollar and the British Pound. Foreign exchange risk arises from futurecommercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations.

The Group´s financial risk policy is that 12 month forecasted net currency exposure shall be maximum 60 million in NOKequivalents. Positions are reviewed quarterly. Hedging is conducted by applying currency derivatives such as forwardexchange rate contracts. The group held no FX derivatives at year end 2013, however new FX derivatives contracts wereentered into in January 2014.

If the NOK currency in 2013 had weakened/strengthened by 10 % against the US Dollar (USD) with all other variablesheld constant, EBIT for the year would have been approximately NOK 4 million higher/lower, mainly as a result of foreignexchange gains/losses on translation of net USD revenues.

If the NOK currency in 2013 had weakened/strengthened by 10 % against the Australian Dollar (AUD) with all othervariables held constant, EBIT for the year would have been approximately NOK 2 million higher/lower, mainly as a result offoreign exchange gains/losses on translation of net AUD revenues.

If the NOK currency had weakened/strengthened 10 % against the British Pound (GBP) with all other variables heldconstant, EBIT for the year would have been approximately NOK 2 million lower/higher, mainly as a result of foreignexchange gains/losses on translation of net GBP costs.

(ii) Price risk

The Group is indirectly exposed to changes in the oil price, however current group policy is to not hedge oil price changes.

(iii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

As the Group has no significant interest-bearing assets, the Group’s income and operating cash flows are substantiallyindependent of changes in market interest rates.

The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the group to cashflow interest rate risk. Group policy is that long-term borrowings shall be based on floating interest rates, however interestrate derivatives could be applied in order to avoid significant losses due to interest rate changes.

The Group manages its interest rate risk by applying derivatives such as interest rate collar swaps, in order to establish a capon interest rates in case of significant increase in market interest rates. In addition, the group has formerly applied floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating rates tofixed rates. The Group held both interest rate collar swaps and interest rate swaps until Q2 2013, but had no interest ratederivatives at year end 2013.

Based on the risk analysis where a 1 % interest rate increase/decrease is applied, the impact of net interest expenses would benegative NOK 5.5 million and positive NOK 5.5 million respectively.

(b) Credit risk Credit risk is managed on group basis. Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments anddeposits with banks, as well as credit exposure to customers, including receivables and committed transactions.

The majority of the Group's debtors are publicly listed Norwegian and international oil companies. AGR´s customersconsist of large, medium and small oil companies. Some of these customers have moderate credit risk potential. The Groupseeks to obtain financial guarantees from debtors where the credit risk and exposure is considered to be high. In addition,majority of the Group´s receivables are credit insured in order to reduce credit risk.

The Group’s main banks at 31 December 2013 is DNB Bank ASA where the majority of group cash is deposited. Inaddition the Group has other local banking relations in countries where DNB does not provide local services.

The table below shows the rating of the Group main cash management bank.

* In addition the Group has a Revolving Credit Facility of TNOK 50.000 available for bank guarantees, letter of credits andcash drawings

The Group has a customer portfolio with large, medium and small cap customers. Delayed payments from some of thelargest customers at the same time could have a significant impact on the Group's liquidity situation. Prudent liquidity riskmanagement implies maintaining sufficient cash and the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committedcredit facilities. Due to the dynamic nature of the underlying businesses, group treasury maintains flexibility in funding bymaintaining availability under committed credit lines. At 31 December 2013 the Group had undrawn committed short-term credit lines amounting to NOK 85 million plus cash deposits of NOK 125 million.

(c) Liquidity risk

Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity reserve and cash and cash equivalents on the basis of short-term and long-term cash flow forecasts.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as trading) is based on quoted market prices at thebalance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group is the current bid price.

Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, over-the-counter derivatives) isdetermined by using valuation techniques. The Group uses a variety of methods and makes assumptions that are based onmarket conditions existing at each balance sheet date. Quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments are usedfor long-term debt. Other techniques, such as estimated discounted cash flows, are used to determine fair value for theremaining financial instruments. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated futurecash flows. The fair value of forward foreign exchange contracts is determined using quoted forward exchange rates at thebalance sheet date.

The carrying value less impairment provision of trade receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values.The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows atthe current market interest rate that is available to the Group for similar financial instruments.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRSs and applying the chosen accounting policiesrequires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,expenses, assets, liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. However, uncertainty about these assumptions andestimates could result in outcomes that require material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected infuture periods. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that arebelieved to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and theunderlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revision to accounting estimates are recognised in the period inwhich the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if therevision affects both current and future periods. The accounting policies applied by AGR Group in which judgements,estimates and assumptions may significantly differ from actual results are addressed below.

Note 3 Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

AGR Group accounts for the impairment of non-current assets in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. Under IAS36 AGR Group are required to assess the conditions that could cause an asset to become impairment at least annually, and toperform a recoverability test for potentially impaired assets held by the entity. Impairment exists when the carrying value ofan assets or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and itsvalue to use.

Impairment of non-current assets

Directly observable market prices rarely exist for AGR Groups’ assets, however, fair value may be estimated based on recentobserved transactions on comparable assets, bids or other discussions of potential transaction involving the asset, or internalmodels used by AGR Group for transactions involving the same type of assets. The value in use calculation is based on adiscounted cash flow model. The cash flow are derived from budget for the next five years and do not include restructuringactivities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performanceof the cash generating unit being tested. Such estimate are subjects to a number of assumptions including the useful lives ofassets, replacement costs and the timing and amounts of certain future cash flows, which may be dependent on future prices,

Page 43: Annual Report 2013 - AGR reports/Annual Report 2013.pdf · 2014. 4. 25. · ANNUAL REPORT 2013 2 Annual Report 2013 AGR Group ASA Comp. reg. no: 986 922 113. Åge Landro, CEO AGR

ANNUAL REPORT 2013 41

future activity, currency rates, and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. While AGR Group believe thatthe assumptions are appropriate, such amounts estimated could differ materially from what will actually occur in the future.Refer to Note 9 Fixed Assets for disclosure of fixed assets.

In accounting for the acquisition of business, AGR Group is required to determine the fair value of assets, liabilities,intangible assets and contingent liabilities at the time of acquisition. In case of business combination achieved in stages,AGR Group must also estimate the fair value of the existing ownership interest when it gains control. Any excess purchaseprice is included in goodwill.

Impairment of goodwill

In the business AGR Group operates, fair values of individual assets and liabilities are normally not readily observable inactive markets, which require AGR Group to estimate the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities through valuationtechniques. Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash-generating unitsto which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the management to estimate the future cash flowsexpected to arise from cash-generating units. See discussion above regarding impairment of non-current assets.

According to impairment test performed for 2013 and 2012 the recoverable amounts exceed the carrying amount forPetroleum Services. The impairment test of goodwill is not sensitive to an increase of 1 % in the discount rate in 2013 or2012, or a 2 % decrease in margins in 2013 or 2012 compared to management’s estimates.

Contingent consideration, resulting from business combinations, is valued at fair value at the acquisition date as part of thebusiness combination. When the contingent consideration meets the definitions of a derivate and, thus a financial liability, itis subsequently remeasured to fair value at each reporting date. The determination of the fair value is based on discountedcash flows. The key assumptions take into consideration the probability of meeting each performance target and the discountfactor. Refer to Note 26 Provisions for provisions for business combinations.

Fair value measurement of contingent consideration

Certain development costs are capitalised when it is probable that a development project will generate future economicbenefits and certain criteria, including commercial and technological feasibility, have been met. These costs are thenamortised on a systematic basis over their expected useful lives. During the development stage, management must estimatethe commercial and technological feasibility of these projects as well as their expected useful lives.

Capitalised development costs

Whenever there is an indicator that development costs capitalised for a specific project may be impaired, the recoverableamount of the asset is estimated. See discussion above regarding impairment of non-current assets. Refer to Note 8Intangible Assets for disclosure of capitalised development cost.

Calculation of provision for impairment of trade receivables is based on a number of estimates. Areas including significantfinancial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganization, and defaultor delinquency in payments (more than 30 days overdue) are all considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.However, assessing the fair value of the amounts recoverable is highly judgmental and incomplete or incorrect informationcould lead to significant changes in the recoverable amounts. Refer to Note 13 Aging Trade Debtors at Nominal Value foraging and provision for impairment of trade receivables.

Trade receivables

AGR Group calculates income tax expense based on reported income in the different legal entities. Deferred income taxexpense is calculated based on the differences between the assets’ carrying value for financial reporting purposes and theirrespective tax basis that are considered temporary in nature. The total amount of income tax expense and allocation betweencurrent and deferred income tax requires management’s interpretation of complex tax laws and regulations in the many taxjurisdictions where AGR Group operates. Valuation of deferred tax assets is dependent on management’s assessment of futurerecoverability of the deferred benefit. Expected recoverability may result from expected taxable income in the near future,planned transactions or planned tax optimizing measures. Economic conditions may change and lead to a differentconclusion regarding recoverability, and such change may affect the result for each reporting period. Tax authorities indifferent jurisdictions may challenge AGR Group’s calculation of tax payable from prior periods. Such process may lead tochanges to prior periods’ taxable income, resulting in changes to income tax expense in the period of change. During the

The Drilling Services business was demerged from AGR Group on 7 August 2013. Based on this, Drilling Services isreported as "Discontinued operations" in the Annual Statement in accordance with IFRS. Segment information for 2012has been amended according to new segment structure.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

Management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions aboutresource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on operating profit or loss and ismeasured consistently with operating profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. However, Group financing andincome taxes are managed on a Group basis.

Group segment consist of corporate administration.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with thirdparties.

The Group heldboth interest rate collar swaps and interest rate swaps until Q2 2013, but had no interest rate derivatives at year end 2013.

The Group´s credit risk exposure is considered to be low. The majority of the Group's debtors are publicly listed Norwegianand international oil companies. The Group seeks to obtain financial guarantees from debtors where the credit risk andexposure is considered to be high. In addition, majority of the Group´s receivables are credit insured in order to reduce creditrisk.

A proportion of the Group's turnover is in foreign currencies, primarily USD and GBP. As a result of internationaloperations, the Group is exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

The group held no FX derivatives at year end 2013, however new FX derivatives contracts were entered into in January2014. The Group is not directly exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices.

The financial year follows the calendar year. Incomestatement items are classified by nature.

Effects of changes in accounting policies and correction ofmaterial errors in previous annual financial statements arerecognised directly in equity. The comparative figures arerestated accordingly.

Changes in accounting policy and disclosures

Subsidiary companies are valued in accordance with the costmethod in the company accounts. The investment iscalculated according to acquisition cost of the shares unless awrite-down has been required. Group contributions areentered as revenue in the same year as allocation in thesubsidiary company is made. If distribution exceeds ratio ofretained earnings for the ownership in the period, the excesspart is accounted for as a repayment of invested capital andrecognised as a reduction of investment in the balance.

Subsidiary companies

Assets meant for permanent ownership or use is classified asnon-current assets. Assets held as a part of the company'sservice cycle and is expected to be realised or used during thecourse of the unit's normal production period are classified ascurrent assets. Receivables are classified as current if they areto be settled within one year. Analogous criteria apply forliabilities.

Classification and valuation of balance sheet items

Non-current assets are valued at historical cost. Tangible fixedassets that deteriorate in value are depreciated on a linearbasis over estimated financial lifespan. Tangible fixed assetsare written down to real value in the event of a permanentdecrease in value. Long-term liabilities in NOK, excludingother provisions, are entered in the balance sheet at nominalvalue at the time they arise. Provisions are discounted if theinterest rate element is material.

Current assets are valued at the lowest of acquisition cost andfair value. Current liabilities are entered at nominal value atthe time they arise.

The company’s business consists primarily of corporateservices to subsidiaries of the group. Services are recognisedin the time of execution. Revenue is recognised when theamount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probablethat future economic benefits will flow to the entity andwhen specific criteria have been met.

Sales revenue

The company’s business of services related to personnel andequipment hire are recognised based on daily/monthly ratesand actual registered hours. Revenue is recognised when it isprobable that transactions will generate future economicbenefits that will flow to the company and the revenueamount can be reliably estimated. Revenues from the sale ofgoods are recognised in the income statement once deliveryhas taken place, the risk has been transferred and thecompany has established a receivable due by customer.Income is presented without value added tax and after anydiscounts.

Revenues relating to projects are recognised in the incomestatement in line with the project’s progress and when theproject’s results can be reliably estimated. Level of completionis calculated as an incurred cost's percentage of anticipatedtotal cost. For projects expected to generate a loss, the fullestimated loss is recorded as cost immediately.

Accrual in the financial statements is based on comparison ofrevenues and expenses during the period. Unrealised losses

that are probable and quantifiable, and unconditionalcommitments and orders are expensed in accordance withgenerally accepted accounting principles.

Monetary items in foreign currency are converted accordingto the exchange rate of the balance sheet date. Foreignexchange gains and losses are recognised in the profit and lossaccount and are classified as financial items.

Currency

Contingent liabilities are recognised if there is more than50 % chance that they will have to be settled. Best estimatesare used in calculating the settlement value. Provisions forcontingencies inherent in the product cycle or with theexpected settlement date within one year from the balancesheet date are classified as current liabilities. Other provisionsare classified as provisions for liabilities under long-term debt.

Contingent liabilities and contingent assets

The company has entered into a contribution plan for itsemployees. Contribution plan comprise arrangementswhereby the company makes annual contributions to theemployees’ pension plans, and where the return on thepension plan assets will determine the amount of thepension. The premium related to the contribution plans areexpensed when occurred as operating expenses.

Pensions

Income is classified as extraordinary if they are unusual,irregular and material considered in relation to the company’sbusiness.

Extraordinary income and expenses

Tangible fixed assets are valued at cost less accumulateddepreciation and write-downs. The costs of tangible fixedassets comprise the purchase price, including duties/taxes anddirect acquisition costs linked to making the asset fit for use.

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is calculated linearly based on the estimateduseful life. Expenses accrued after the asset has been takeninto use, such as repairs and maintenance, are normallyrecognised in the income statement. In cases where increasedearnings can be demonstrated as a result of repairs/maintenance, the expenditure on this will be recognised inthe balance sheet as additions to property, plant andequipment.

The write-down requirement for fixed assets is assessed ifthere are indications of impairment. If indication ofimpairment is present there are performed an estimate ofdiscounted future cash flows for assets that will continue tobe in use in the company, and an estimate of selling price lesscost of assets that are for sale. If calculation shows a value lessthan the carrying value assets will be write-down to fair value.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparingthe proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognisedwithin other operating revenue or other operating expenses inthe income statement.

Short-term investments (shares classified as current) arevalued at lowest of average acquisition cost and fair value atthe balance sheet date. Dividends and other disbursementsare recognized as other financial income.

Short-term investments

Debtors and other receivables are entered in the balance sheetat nominal value less provision for bad debt. Provision forbad debt is estimated based on individual assessment of thedebtors.

Receivables

Earned, but not invoiced revenues by the percentage ofcompletion, is carried out production which according to acontract are not invoiced at balance sheet date. Completed,not invoiced production is included in the line tradereceivables. For projects where the invoicing exceeds theincome from the completed production, the net amount isincluded in other current liabilities.

The cash pool will thusautomatically establish credit relationships betweenparticipants and cash pool holder. In the financial statementsall transaction between the cash pool holder and participantsare recognised as intercompany balance.

When there is uncertainty associated with financial statementitem, best estimate is used. Changes in estimates arerecognised in the period in which the estimate is changed.Use of estimates is uncertain and may differ from actualresults.

The travel activities are summarised below. This overview includes project related travels as well as travels with an internalrationale, all return flights. AGR has invested in at least one video conference system in each office, to limit the travelactivities to the extent possible. These systems are frequently used, but with a potential for further use.
