not solely reliant on IPO markets.

By investing in Private Assets it is often possible to access differentiated

opportunities and fast growing businesses that are not normally available

through public markets. For example, many Emerging Market countries have

relatively immature capital markets, which can make it difficult to access the

most attractive sectors in the public markets at reasonable valuations.

Furthermore, Private Assets often exhibit low correlation to public security

markets and the phased drawdown of capital helps to reduce market timing risk.

Outstanding commitments of $44.5m (the majority of which will be

drawn down over the next five years) are covered by cash and

investments in market neutral funds. In addition, based on conservative

estimates, distributions from the current private assets portfolio should

enable this sub-portfolio to become self-funding.

common is a focus on generating positive absolute returns while

providing downside protection in volatile markets.

In addition, Market Neutral Funds act as a secondary backstop to cash in

covering long-term capital commitments (thus helping to avoid excessive cash

drag – especially in the current environment of near-zero interest rates) and

other opportunistic investments. In short, the Investment Manager believes

that they provide a better risk/reward allocation than other investments that

are perceived to be ‘lower risk’ such as government bonds.

Navegar I, LP will make minority growth capital investments in private

companies operating in the Philippines. The country has seen considerable

economic and political progress, which provides a solid backdrop for

investment in the Philippines. The young population is a central driver to the

country’s projected multi-year growth and offers a powerful tailwind for local

consumer businesses.

NG Capital Partners II, LP will make control investments in private

companies operating in Peru. In many respects, Peru is a catch-up story as it

traces the economic path of Chile. The investment case is supported by a

strong Peruvian economy, which remains at an early stage of its development.

In particular, businesses engaged in the provision of goods and services to the

emerging consumer are expected to exhibit strong growth.

KKR Special Situations Fund, LP – will invest across the capital structure

with a credit orientation, with the focus primarily being on corporate

opportunities where balance sheet distress or broader market dislocation has

created mispricing of assets. The manager expects to invest approximately

two-thirds of the Fund’s assets in Europe, with the remainder being invested in

the US, Asia and Australia. The Fund is expected to make 20-25 core

investments, which will be supplemented with a number of toe-hold positions.

Silver Lake Partners IV, LP will invest globally in businesses operating in the

technology, technology-enabled and technology-related sectors. The manager

will take both minority and control positions. Typical investments will be in

large market leading companies with strong growth characteristics.

to maximise the total return on assets, by investing in a portfolio of diversified

assets including global equities, fixed income and alternative assets with a

particular emphasis on emerging markets. Investments are intended to add

value over the medium to longer-term through a non-market correlated,

conviction based investment style.

Our subsidiary, Wilson Sons Limited, has provided maritime services in Brazil

for over 175 years. The Group’s strategy is to provide maritime and logistics

services to the domestic economy, international trade and the oil and gas

market.

The Board does not have a separate nomination committee as the

identification and appointment of a new Board member is a matter for

the full Board. The Board evaluates the balance of skills, experience,

independence and knowledge on the board and, in the light of this

evaluation, prepares a description of the role and capabilities required for

a particular appointment. An independent external search consultant will

conduct a search for appropriate candidates with the right blend of skills

and experience which are then submitted to the Board for evaluation.

Corporate Governance Codes (“the Codes”) issued by the Financial Reporting

investment holding Company incorporated by an act of parliament in

Bermuda with significant operations in Brazil. The Company complies with the

Codes where it is beneficial for its business to do so, and has done so

throughout the year and up to the date of this report, but as noted below, it

Share capital

The Group has one class of ordinary share which carries no right to fixed income.

Capital reserves

The capital reserves arise principally from transfers from revenue to capital reserves made in the Brazilian subsidiaries arising in the following circumstances:

(a) profits of the Brazilian subsidiaries and Brazilian holding company which in prior periods were required by law to be transferred to capital reserves and other

profits not available for distribution; and 

(b) Wilson Sons Limited bye-laws require the company to credit an amount equal to 5% of the company’s net profit to a retained earnings account to be called

legal reserve until such amount equals 20% of the Wilson Sons Limited share capital. 

Hedging and translation reserve

The hedging and translation reserve arises from exchange differences on the translation of operations with a functional currency other than US Dollars and

effective movements on hedging instruments.

Amounts in the statement of changes of equity are stated net of tax where applicable.

General Information

Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited is a company incorporated in Bermuda under the Companies Act 1981 and the Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited Act, 1991. 

The address of the registered office is given on page 20. The nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities are set out in the operating and financial

review on pages 6 to 19.

These financial statements are presented in US Dollars because that is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group operates. Entities

with a functional currency other than US Dollars are included in accordance with the policies set out in note 2.

2

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements

Basis of accounting

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRSs adopted for use by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the revaluation of financial instruments and share-based payments liability

that are measured at fair values. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

Going concern

The directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational

existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. The directors’

assessment of going concern is included in the Report of the Directors.

Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to

31 December each year. The Group controls and entity when it is exposed to, or has the rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has

the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective date of

acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by other members

of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of

the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interest’s share of changes in equity since the date of the

combination.

Where a change in percentage of interests in a controlled entity does not result in a change of control, the difference between the consideration paid for the

additional interest and the book value of the net assets in the subsidiary at the time of the transaction is taken direct to equity.

Foreign currency

The functional currency for each Group entity is determined as the currency of the primary economic environment in which it operates (its functional currency).

Transactions other than those in the functional currency of the entity are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets

and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at year end exchange rates.

Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items, and on the retranslation of monetary items, are included in the statement of comprehensive

income for the period. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

On consolidation, the statement of comprehensive income items of entities with a functional currency other than US Dollars are translated into US Dollars, the

Group’s presentational currency, at average rates of exchange. Balance sheet items are translated into US Dollars at year end exchange rates. Exchange

differences arising on consolidation of entities with functional currencies other than US Dollars are classified as equity and are recognised in the Group’s

translation reserve.

Notes to the Accounts

2

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued)

Investments in entities accounted for using the equity method

The Group’s investments in entities accounted for using the equity method include its interests in associates and jointly controlled (joint ventures) ventures.

Associates are those entities in which the Group, directly or indirectly, has significant influence but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating

policies. A jointly controlled entity is in a contractual agreement whereby the Group has joint control, where the Group is entitled to the net assets of the

contractual agreement, and not entitled to specific assets and liabilities arising from the agreement.

Investments in associates and jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method. Such investments are initially recognised at cost, which

includes expenses for the transaction. After initial recognition, the financial statements include the Group’s share in the profit or loss for the year and other

comprehensive income of the investee until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases.

Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group is in a position to exert significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.

Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those

policies.

The results, assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under this method,

investments in associates are carried in the consolidated balance sheet at cost as adjusted for post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of the net assets of

the associate, less any impairment in the value of individual investments. Losses of an associate in excess of the Group’s interest in that associate (which includes

any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate) are not recognised.

Where a Group entity transacts with an associate of the Group, profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the relevant associate.

Investments in joint ventures

Interests in joint ventures

Joint venture is a contractual agreement where the Group has rights to the net assets of the contractual arrangement and is not entitled to specific assets and

liabilities arising from the agreement.

Investments in joint venture entities are accounted for using the equity method. After initial recognition, the financial statements include the Group’s share in the

profit or loss for the year and other comprehensive income of the investee until the date that significant influence or joint control ceases.

Interests in joint operations

Joint operation is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control which is when

the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. 

The joint operations assets and any liabilities incurred jointly with other ventures are recognised in the financial statements of the relevant entity and classified

according to their nature. 

The Group’s share of the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of joint operation entities are combined with the equivalent items in the consolidated financial

statements on a line-by-line basis.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of joint ventures and joint operations which are listed in Note 17.

Employee Benefits

Short-term employee benefits

Obligations of short-term employee benefits are recognised as personnel expenses as the corresponding service is provided. The liability is recognised for the

amount expected to be paid if the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee

and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued)

Employee Benefits (continued)

Share-Based payment transactions

The fair value at grant date of share-based payments granted to employees is recognised as a personnel expense with a corresponding increase in equity over

the period that the employees unconditionally become entitled to the equity instruments. For the award of share-based payments that do not contain vesting

conditions (non-vesting conditions), the fair value at grant date of share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and are not made further

adjustments for differences between the expected and actual results.

The fair value of the amount payable to employees regarding the rights on the valuation of the shares, which are settled in cash, is recognised as an expense

with a corresponding increase in liabilities during the period that the employees unconditionally entitled to payment. The liability is remeasured at each balance

sheet date and at settlement date based on the fair value of the rights on valuation. Any changes in the fair value of the liability are recognised in income as

personnel expenses. 

Other long-term employee benefits

The Group’s net obligation in respect of other long-term employee benefits is the amount of future benefit that employees receive in return for the service rendered

in the current year and previous years. That benefit is discounted to determine its present value. Remeasurements are recognised in the income statement.

Benefits of termination of employment relationship

The benefits of termination of employment relationship are recognised as an expense when the Group can no longer withdraw the offer of such benefits and

when the Group recognizes the costs of restructuring. If payments are settled after 12 months from the balance sheet date, then they are discounted to their

present values.

Taxation

Tax expense for the period comprises current tax and deferred tax.

Current tax is based on assessable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income

or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is

calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on temporary differences (i.e. differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in

the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit). Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability

method and is provided on all temporary differences with certain limited exceptions as follows. Deferred tax is not provided:

•

•

•

in respect of tax payable on undistributed earnings of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures where the Group is able to control the remittance of profits

and it is probable that there will be no remittance of past profits earned in the foreseeable future; 

on the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that does not affect accounting profit or taxable profit and is not a business combination; nor

is deferred tax provided on subsequent changes in the carrying value of such assets and liabilities, for example where they are depreciated; and 

on the initial recognition of any non-tax deductible goodwill. 

Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered through sufficient future taxable profit. The carrying amount of

deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised, based on tax rates and laws

that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the statement of comprehensive income,

except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also taken directly to equity.

A company will normally have a legally enforceable right to set off a deferred tax asset against a deferred tax liability when they relate to income taxes levied by

the same taxation authority and the taxation authority permits the company to make or receive a single net payment. In the consolidated financial statements, a

deferred tax asset of one entity in the Group cannot be offset against a deferred tax liability of another entity in the Group, as there is no legally enforceable

right to offset tax assets and liabilities between Group companies.

Notes to the Accounts

2

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued)

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets, other than land and assets under construction, over their estimated useful lives, using

the straight-line method as follows:

Freehold Buildings:

25 years

Leasehold Buildings:

Period of the lease

Floating Craft:

Vehicles:

25 to 35 years

5 years

Plant and Equipment:

5 to 20 years

Assets in the course of construction are carried at cost, less any recognised impairment loss. Costs include professional fees for qualifying assets. Depreciation of

these assets, on the same basis as other property assets, commences when the assets are ready for intended use.

Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful lives on the same basis as owned assets.

Dry docking costs are capitalised and depreciated over the period in which the economic benefits are received, or until the next scheduled dry dock.

The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds

and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.

Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time

to get ready for their intended use or sale, are added to the cost of those assets until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing

costs eligible for capitalisation.

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

Goodwill

The Group tests goodwill annually for impairment, or more frequently if there are indications that goodwill might be impaired. The recoverable amounts are

determined from value in use calculations. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those regarding the discount rate, growth rates and

expected changes to selling prices and costs during the period. Management estimates discount rates using pre-tax rates that reflect current market assessments

of the time value money and the risks specific to the cash generating unit. Growth rates are based on management’s forecasts and historical trends. Changes in

selling prices and direct costs are based on past practices and expectations of future changes in the market.

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is

calculated considering the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of assets, liabilities and the equity interests transferred to the Group when the control of the

acquisition is transferred. Acquisition-related costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Any goodwill that arises is tested annually for impairment.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except that deferred tax assets or liabilities,

and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 Employee

Benefits respectively.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement,

the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition-date fair value and included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination.

Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively with corresponding

adjustments against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement period’

(which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date. 

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement period adjustments is recognised in

profit or loss.

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued)

Sale of non-controlling interest

Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the Group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the

amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling interest’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of

each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. There is no indefinite life intangible asset.

An intangible asset is derecognised on disposal, or when no future economic benefits are expected from use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from

derecognition of an intangible asset, measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognised in profit

or loss when the asset is derecognised. 

Impairment of tangible and other intangible assets

Assets that are subject to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying

amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The

recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest

levels for which there are separately identifiable cash inflows.

Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash generating unit (“CGU”) are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount

of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.

An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not

exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised. Assets that are subject

to amortisation or depreciation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. 

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials, spare parts and, where applicable, direct labour costs and

those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling

price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.

Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised on the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

•

•

•

•

Trade Receivables: Trade receivables, loans and other amounts receivable are stated at the initial fair value of the amounts due, less provision for impairment.

A provision for impairment is established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the

original terms of receivables. The amount of the provision is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. 

Investments: Investments are recognised and derecognised on a trade date basis where the purchase or sale of an investment is under a contract whose

terms require delivery of the investment within the timeframe established by the market concerned, and are initially measured at the fair value, plus directly

attributable transaction costs. 

Where securities are held for trading purposes, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in the income statement for the period. The

fair value of financial assets traded in active markets are based on the mid market price the close of trading on the reporting date. Unquoted investments

held for trading purposes are stated at fair value through profit and loss as determined by using various valuation techniques, except where fair value cannot

be reliably measured, when the investment is held at cost less any provision for impairment. 

For available-for-sale investments, gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity, until the security is disposed of or is

determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is included in the profit or loss for the period. Fair

value is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and other short-term highly liquid investments that are convertible to a known

amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. 

Bank Borrowings: Interest-bearing bank loans and overdrafts are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Finance charges, including

premiums payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are accounted for on an accruals basis to the statement of comprehensive income using

the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that they are not settled in the period in which they arise.

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued)

Derivatives

The Group periodically uses derivative financial instruments to reduce exposure to foreign exchange and interest rate movements. Derivatives are measured at

each balance sheet date at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in fair value are included in the income statement for the period within investment

revenue or finance costs for exchange and interest derivatives.

Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments or other host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when their risks and characteristics are not closely

related to those of host contracts and the host contracts are not carried at fair value, with gains or losses reported in the statement of comprehensive income.

Hedge Accounting (Cash flow hedge)

The Group seeks to apply hedge accounting (cash flow hedge) in order to manage volatility in profit or loss. When a derivative is designated as the hedging

instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast

transaction that could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and

presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that the Group will be required to settle that

obligation. Provisions are measured at the directors’ best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date and discounted

where the effect is material.

In the normal course of business in Brazil, the Group is exposed to local legal cases. Provisions for legal cases are made when the Group’s management, together

with their legal advisors, consider the probable outcome is a financial settlement against the Group. Provisions are measured at the director’s best estimate of the

expenditure required to settle the obligation based upon legal advice received. For labour claims, the provision is based on prior experience and management’s

best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. For tax cases, the provision is based on managements’ best knowledge of the relevant facts and

circumstances and legal advice received.

Construction contracts

Construction contracts in progress represents the gross amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. It is measured at

costs incurred plus profits recognised to date less progress billings and recognised losses. Cost includes all expenditure related directly to specific projects and an

allocation of fixed and variable overheads incurred in the Group’s contract activities based on normal operating capacity.

Construction contracts in progress is presented as part of trade and other receivables in the statement of financial position for all contracts in which costs incurred

plus recognised profits exceed progress billings and recognised losses. If progress billings and recognised losses exceed costs incurred plus recognised profits,

then the difference is presented as deferred income/revenue in the statement of financial position. Customer advances are presented as deferred income/revenue

in the statement of financial position.

Revenue

Revenue is measured at fair value and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business net of trade discounts,

VAT and other sales related taxes. If the Group is acting solely as an agent, amounts billed to customers are offset against relevant costs.

Revenue from construction contracts is recognised in accordance with the Group’s accounting policy on construction contracts (see above).

Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable, which is the rate that exactly

discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to that assets net carrying amount.

Dividend income from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established.

Leasing

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases

are classified as operating leases.

Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets of the Group at their fair value at the inception of the lease, or if lower the present value of the

minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are apportioned

between finance charges and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance

charges are charged to the statement of comprehensive income.

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued)

Leasing (continued)

Rentals payable under finance leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described above, management has made the following judgements that have the most

significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Provisions

In the normal course of business in Brazil, the Group is exposed to local legal cases. Provisions for legal cases are made when the Group’s management, together

with their legal advisors, consider the probable outcome is a financial settlement against the Group. Provisions are measured at the directors’ best estimate of the

expenditure required to settle the obligation based upon legal advice received. For labour claims, the provision is based on prior experience and management’s

best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. For tax cases the provision is based on management’s best knowledge of the relevant facts and

circumstances and legal advice received.

Brazilian taxes

There are uncertainties regarding the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the value and timing of future taxable results. Given the long-term nature and

the complexity of existing contracts, differences between the actual results and the assumptions adopted or future changes in such assumptions could require

future adjustments to the tax income and expense already recorded. The Group forms provisions, based on applicable estimates, for possible consequences of

auditing by tax authorities of the respective jurisdictions where it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on several factors, such as prior experiences

with fiscal audits and different interpretations of the tax regulations by the taxable entity and by the tax authority in question. Such differences in interpretation

may arise for the most diverse matters, depending on the conditions in force in the respective domicile of the Group’s entity.

Deferred and recoverable income tax and social contribution

The Group records assets related to deferred taxes resulting from temporary differences and tax losses between the book value of assets and liabilities and their

tax bases. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that the Group expects to generate sufficient taxable profit based on projections and forecasts

prepared by Management. Such projections and forecasts include several assumptions regarding the Group’s performance, foreign exchange rates, volume of

services, other rates and factors that may differ from present estimates.

Under the current Brazilian tax legislation, tax losses do not expire for utilization. However, cumulative tax losses can only be offset by up to 30.0% of the

annual taxable profit.

Impairment of goodwill and intangibles

The carrying amounts of the Group’s non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date to determine

whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated. 

Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested annually for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU

exceeds its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future

cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks

specific to the asset or CGU. For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use

that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs. Subject to an operating segment ceiling test, CGUs to which goodwill has been allocated

are aggregated so that the level at which impairment testing is performed reflects the lowest level at which goodwill is monitored for internal reporting purposes.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

Business combinations

Acquisitions of subsidiaries are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values

of assets given and liabilities incurred or assumed in exchange for control of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. The fair value of assets and liabilities are

based on management’s best knowledge and expert advice.

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued)

Revenue recognition

Construction contracts in progress represents the gross amount expected to be collected from customers for contract work performed to date. Where the outcome

of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, revenue and costs are recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end

of the reporting period measured based on the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs,

except where this would not be representative of the stage of completion. 

Valuation of unquoted investments

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities that are not traded in an active market is determined using valuation techniques. The Company uses a variety of

methods and makes assumptions that are based on market conditions existing at each reporting date. Valuation techniques used include the use of comparable

recent arm’s length transactions, reference to other instruments that are substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis, option pricing models and other

valuation techniques commonly used by market participants making the maximum use of market inputs and relying as little as possible on entity-specific inputs.

New standards and interpretations not yet adopted

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2014, and have not been

applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. That which may be relevant to the Group is set out below.

The Group does not plan to adopt new standards in advance.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2010) and IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (2009)

The new standard uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortised cost or fair value. The approach in IFRS 9 (2009) is

based on how an entity manages its financial instruments (its business model) and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. IFRS 9 (2010)

incorporates new requirements on accounting for financial liabilities. The IASB intends to expand IFRS 9 to add new requirements for impairment of financial

assets measured at amortised cost and include limited amendments to the classification and measurement requirements. 

The IFRS 9 (2010 and 2009) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015. The adoption of IFRS 9 (2010) might have an effect on the

classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will not have an impact on classification and measurements of financial liabilities.

New standards and interpretations adopted

In the current year the following new and revised standards and interpretations have been adopted which have affected the amounts reported in these

consolidated financial statements.

New standards issued by the IASB were effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013 as set out in Note 2 (New standards and

interpretations) of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012. 

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

IFRS 13 establishes a single framework for measuring and disclosure about fair value when such measurements are required or permitted by other IFRSs. It

unifies the definition of fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or would be paid for the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction

between market participants at the measurement date. It replaces and expands the disclosure requirements included in other IFRSs, including the IFRS 7. As a

result, the Group has included additional disclosures in this regard (see note 23).

IAS 1 Presentation of Items in Other Comprehensive Income

As a result of the revision of IAS 1, the Group has changed the presentation of items in its statement of comprehensive income to present items that will not be

reclassified to profit and loss and those items that maybe subsequently reclassified to profit and loss. There was no information from the previous year that

required restatement for comparison purposes.

The company implemented the new standards related to the matters regarding subsidiaries and joint arrangements.

IFRS 10 introduces a single control model to determine whether an investee should be consolidated.

Under IFRS 11, the structure of joint arrangement, although still an important consideration, is no longer the main factor in determining the type of joint

arrangement and therefore the related accounting.

Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued)

New standards and interpretations adopted (continued)

The Group’s interest in a joint operation, which is an arrangement in which the parties have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, will be

accounted for on the basis of the Group’s interest in those assets and liabilities.

The Group’s interest in a joint venture, which is an arrangement in which the parties have rights to the net assets, will be equity accounted.

The new standard applied by the Company includes the effect of recognising the profit/loss of Wilson Sons Ultratug Offshore and Atlantic Offshore S.A. on a

single line in the Income Statement and the Balance Sheet to reflect Company’s 50% participation rather than the previous treatment with proportional

consolidation line by line. Additionally, Allink, the Company’s 50% Non-Vessel Operating Common Carrier (“NVOCC”), which previously included only 50% share

in both the Income Statement and the balance sheet, are now 100% consolidated in the financial statements, with a 50% non-controlling interest. For further

details of these entities, refer to notes 16 and 17.

The impacts of the adoption of these new standards are set out below:

Brazilian corporation tax is calculated at 25% (2012: 25%) of the assessable profit for the year. Brazilian social contribution tax is calculated at 9% (2012: 9%) of

the assessable profit for the year.

At the present time, no income, profit, capital or capital gains taxes are levied in Bermuda and accordingly, no provision for such taxes has been recorded by the

company. In the event that such taxes are levied, the company has received an undertaking from the Bermuda Government exempting it from all such taxes until

31 March 2035.

The charge for the year can be reconciled to the profit per the statement of comprehensive income as follows:

Profit before tax

Tax at the standard Brazilian tax rate of 34% (2012: 34%)

Tax effect of expenses/income that are not included in determining taxable profit

Effect of different tax rates of subsidiaries operating in other jurisdictions

For the purposes of testing goodwill for impairment losses, the Group makes use its updated valuation model, for the relevant cash-generating units (Tecon Rio

Grande and Tecon Salvador) derived from the most recent financial budget for the following year, extrapolates cash flows for the remaining life of the concession

based on an estimated average growth rate of 6% annually and a discount rate of 10.07% (31 December 2012: 10.07% and 1 January 2012: 12%) for both

business units. This rate does not exceed the average long-term historical growth rate for the relevant market. After testing goodwill as mentioned above, no

impairment losses were recognised for the periods presented.

Briclog’s goodwill arose from the acquisition of Briclog and is composed partly of expectation for future profitability and partially for deferred tax on intangibles.

This goodwill´s historical value is equivalent to US$23.3 million, with negative foreign exchange impact of US$1.3 million due to the translation effect, on 

31 December 2013. The goodwill will be tested for impairment annually; details of the Briclog acquisition are shown in note 29.

The directors consider that no reasonable change in their assumptions regarding their goodwill impairment testing would result in impairment

Intangible fixed assets arose from (i) the acquisition of concession rights for the container and heavy cargo terminal in Salvador in 2000, and the Ponta Norte

expansion at Tecon Salvador in 2010 (ii) and the implementation of integrated management software (SAP) (iii) the Briclog acquisition in 2013.

The additions to Intangible assets in the period are attributable mainly to the 30-year lease right acquired through the Briclog acquisition as detailed in Note 29.

Lease concessions are amortised over the remaining terms of the concessions at the time of acquisition, which for Tecon Salvador is 25 years and Ponta Norte is

15 years. The computer software is amortised over 5 years following completion of the installation.

The Group has not designated any financial assets that are not classified as trading investments as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Trading investments above represent investments in listed equity securities, funds and unquoted equities that present the Group with opportunity for return

through dividend income and capital appreciation.

Included in trading investments are open ended funds whose shares may not be listed on a recognised stock exchange but are redeemable for cash at the

current net asset value at the option of the company. They have no fixed maturity or coupon rate. The fair values of these securities are based on quoted market

prices where available. Where quoted market prices are not available, fair values are determined using various valuation techniques that include inputs for the

asset or liability that are not based in observable market data (unobservable inputs).

Non-current trade receivables relate to: recoverable taxes with maturity dates in excess of one year, which comprise mainly PIS, COFINS, ISS and INSS, customers

with maturities over one year, and receivables from Intermarítima relating to the sale of the non-controlling interest in Tecon Salvador. There are no indicators of

impairment related to these receivables.

Included in the Group’s trade receivable balances are debtors with a carrying amount of US$12.8 million (2012: US$16.3 million) which are past due but not

impaired at the reporting date for which the Group has not provided as there has not been a change in credit quality and the Group believes the amounts are still

recoverable. The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

Included in other debtors is US$15.4 million relating to insurance receivables for the damage to the warehouse and materials inventory used in the shipbuilding

process by the fire at the Guarujá II shipyard warehouse during the year (property, plant and equipment US$1.5 million and inventories US$13.9 million).

The average credit period taken on services ranges from zero to 30 days. Interest is charged at up to 1% per month on the outstanding balances with an

additional fine of up to 2% per month. The Group has provided in full for all receivables over 180 days because historical experience is such that receivables that

are past due 180 days are generally not recoverable.

Included in the Group’s allowance for doubtful debts are individually impaired trade receivables with a balance of US$2.5 million, which are aged, greater than

180 days. The impairment recognised represents the difference between the carrying amount of these trade receivables and the present value of the expected

settlement proceeds.

The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

In determining recoverability of trade receivables, the Group considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivable from the date credit was initially

granted up to the reporting date. The concentration of credit risk is limited due to the customer base being large and unrelated. The directors believe that there is

no further credit provision required in excess of the allowance for doubtful debts.

The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables approximates their fair value.

23 Derivative financial instruments

The Group may enter into derivatives contracts to manage risks arising from exchange rate fluctuations. The derivatives are entered into with bank and financial

institution counterparties, which are rated AAA, based on rating agency Standard & Poor’s ratings.

The Group buys and sells derivatives, in order to manage market risks. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines set by the Wilson Sons Limited

Risk Management Committee. Generally the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss.

The Group entered into currency put-options contracts during the years ended 31 December 2013 (31 December 2012: nil). Options are derivative financial

instruments that give the buyer, in exchange for a premium payment, the right, but not the obligation, to either purchase from (call option) or sell to (put option)

the writer a specified underlying instrument at a specific price on or before a specified date.

The premium paid on acquired put options are recorded initially as an asset and adjusted to their respective fair values using valuation techniques as Black and

Scholes option model. The model used to price option contracts includes observables inputs available on market.

At 31 December 2013 the notional value of outstanding derivative put contracts was US$• million. The fair value was US$1.2 million.

23 Derivative financial instruments (continued)

Cash flow hedge

The Group seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss.

The put option contracts described are designated as the hedging instrument in a hedge of the variability in cash flows attributable to a particular risk associated

with a highly probable forecast transaction that could affect profit or loss. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised in other

comprehensive income and presented in the hedging reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in the fair value of the derivative is recognised

immediately in profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked, then hedge

accounting is discontinued prospectively. If the forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur then the balance in equity is reclassified to profit or loss.

On initial designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and hedged

item, including the risk management objectives and strategy in undertaking the hedge transaction and the hedged risk, together with the methods that will be

used to assess the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group makes an assessment, both at the inception of the hedge relationship as well as on an

ongoing basis, of whether the hedging instruments are expected to be highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the respective

hedged items attributable to the hedged risk, and whether the actual results of each hedge are within a range of 80 – 125%.

Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; any attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition,

derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.

The hedged item and the risk associated is the foreign currency exposure in BRL of payments to the shipyard.

The Group uses cash flow hedges to limit its exposure that may result from the variability of floating interest rates. On 16 September 2013, its subsidiary, Tecon

Salvador, entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $74.4 million to hedge a portion of its outstanding floating-rate debt with IFC.

This swap converts floating interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, into fixed-rate interest and expires in March 2020.The derivatives

were entered into with Santander Brasil as counterparty, whose credit rating was AAA, as of 31 December 2013, according to Standard& Poor’s Brazilian local

rating scale.

Tecon Salvador is required to pay the counterparty a stream of fixed interest payments at rates fixed from 0.553% to 4.250%, according to the schedule

agreement, and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on 6-month LIBOR. The net receipts or payments from the swap are recorded as financial

expense.

The fair value of the swap was estimated based on the yield curve as of 31 December 2013, and represents its carrying value. As of 31 December 2013, the

interest rate swap balance in current liabilities and other non-current liabilities was US$1.2 million; and the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income

on the consolidated balance sheets was US$1.2 million. The net change in fair value of the interest rate swap recorded as other comprehensive income for the

year ended 31 December 2013 was an after-tax loss of US$1.2 million.

This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The

analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. Three scenarios

were simulated: the likely scenario (Probable) and two possible scenarios of deterioration of 25% (Possible) and 50% (Remote) in the exchange rate, the risk in

buying an options contracts is that the Group pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In this case in both scenarios the risk associated on 31

December 2013 is US$1.2 million.

Cash Flow Hedge

The Group applies hedge accounting for transactions in order to manage the volatility in earnings. The swap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As

such, the swap is accounted for as an asset or a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The effective portion of changes in fair

value of the derivative is recognized in other comprehensive income and presented as an asset revaluation reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes

in fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting operations, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked,

the model accounting hedges (hedge accounting) is discontinued prospectively when there is no more expectation for the forecasted transaction, and then the

amount stated in the equity is reclassified to the profit or loss.

On the initial designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the

hedged transaction, including the risk management objective and strategy on the implementation of the hedge and the hedged risk, together with the methods

that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group is utilizing the dollar offset method to assess the effectiveness of the swap,

analysing whether the hedging instruments are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the

hedged risk, and if the actual results for each coverage are within the range from 80 – 125%.

Under this methodology, the swap was deemed to be highly effective for the period ended 31 December 2013. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recognized

in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2013.

At the balance sheet date the Group had unused tax losses of US$42.0 million (2012: US$66.5 million) available for offset against future profits in the company in

which they arose. No deferred tax asset has been recognised in respect of US$7.2 million (2012: US$6.9 million) due to the unpredictability of future profit streams.

Retranslation of non-current asset valuation deferred tax arises on Brazilian property, plant and equipment held in US dollar functional currency businesses.

Deferred tax is calculated on the difference between the historical US Dollar balances recorded in the Groups accounts and the $Real balances used in the

Group’s Brazilian tax calculations.

Deferred tax on exchange variance on loans arises from exchange gains or losses on the Group’s US Dollar and $Real denominated loans linked to the US Dollar that

are not deductible or payable for tax in the period they arise. Exchange gains on these loans are taxable when settled and not in the period in which gains arise.

Procedure for classification of legal liabilities as probable, possible or remote loss by the external lawyers:

Upon receipt of the notification of a new judicial lawsuit, the external lawyers, in general, classify it as a possible claim, recording the total amount involved, not

the amount at risk which is not known at this stage. Exceptionally, if there is sufficient knowledge from the beginning that there are very high or very low risk of

loss, the lawyer may classify the claim as probable loss or remote loss.

During the course of the lawsuit and considering, for instance, its first judicial decision, legal precedents, arguments of the claimant, thesis under discussion,

applicable laws, documentation for the defense and other variables, the lawyer may re-classify the claim as probable loss or remote loss.

When classifying the claim as probable loss, the lawyer estimates the Amount at Risk for such claim.

Notes to the Accounts

29 Acquisition of subsidiary

Business combinations

Brasco Logística Offshore Ltda ("Brasco"), completed the acquisition of all the shares representing the capital of Brazilian Intermodal Complex S/A (“Briclog”),

concluding the acquisition on 1 July 2013. The closing price of the acquisition of shares was R$89.8 million (equivalent to US$40.5 million at the transaction

date) with debt of R$32.1 million (equivalent to US$14.5 million at transaction date) assumed on acquisition these values were subsequently adjusted to 

R$89.2 million regarding the acquisition of shares (equivalent to US$40.2 million at the transaction date) with debt of R$32.7 million (equivalent to 

US$14.8 million at transaction date) due to an update on the commercial agreement.

The acquisition of shares is payable in three amounts, including R$10 million (equivalent to US$4.5 million at transaction date) paid in June 2011, R$22.5 million

(US$10.2 million at transaction date) paid on the closing and R$57.3 million (equivalent to US$25.9 million at transaction date) that will be paid 300 days from

the closing adjusted for movement in the Brazilian index of consumer prices (IPCA) from the date of closing.

The major asset of the acquisition is a 30-year lease to operate in an area of Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with excellent access to the Campos and

Santos oil producing basins.

In the 6 month-period ended 31 December 2013, Briclog accrued revenues of US$3.9 million and profit of US$790,000. If the acquisition had occurred on 

1 January 2013, management estimates that revenue contribution would amount to US$11.0 million and the loss for the year would have been US$3.0 million.

In determining these amounts, management considered that the provisional fair value adjustments, which arose on the acquisition date, would have been the

same if the acquisition had occurred on 1 January 2013.

Included in the Group’s accounts payable at 31 December 2013 is US$25.5 million for amounts outstanding in relation to the purchase of Briclog.

Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2013

Notes to the Accounts

30 Notes to the cash flow statement (continued)

Private investment funds

Wilson Sons Limited has investments in private investment funds that are consolidated in the financial statements as cash equivalents.

The Group has investments in a private investment fund called Hydrus Fixed Income Private Credit Investment Fund that are consolidated in these financial

statements. This private investment fund comprises deposit certificates, financial notes and debentures, with final maturities ranging from January 2014 to

January 2019. About 67.62% of the securities included in the portfolio of the Private Investment Fund have daily liquidity and are marked to fair value on a daily

basis against current earnings. This private investment fund does not have significant financial obligations. Any financial obligations are limited to service fees to

the asset management company employed to execute investment transactions, audit fees and other similar expenses.

Cash and cash equivalents held in Brazil amount to US$84.3 million (2012: US$110.5 million and 2011: US$106.1 million).

Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments and not for cash investment purposes.

Additions to plant and equipment during the year amounting to US$4.2 million (2012: US$0.7 million) were financed by new finance leases.

31 Contingent liabilities

In the normal course of business in Brazil, the Group continues to be exposed to numerous local legal claims. It is the Group’s policy to contest such claims

vigorously, many of which appear to have little substance in merit, and to manage such claims through its legal advisers. The total estimated contingent claims at

31 December 2013 are US$131.6 million (2012: US$91.6 million). These have not been provided for as the Directors and the Group’s legal advisors do not

consider that there is any probable loss. Contingent liabilities relate to labour, civil and environmental, and tax claims.

32 Cash-settled share-based payments

The Group issues to certain employees share appreciation rights in respect of the Group’s long-term incentive plan “LTIP” that require the Group to pay the

intrinsic value to the employee at the date of exercise.

The Group operates two long-term incentive plans, the Ocean Wilsons Holdings scheme and the Wilson Sons Limited scheme.

Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited LTIP

The Company implemented a cash-settled phantom option scheme that was approved by shareholders at a Special General Meeting held on 19 April 2007. The

scheme was for selected senior management and the options provide for the option holder to receive on exercise the difference between the option price of

US$5.66 and the lower of US$19.98, being the market capitalisation of the Wilson Sons at the date of the IPO per OWHL share and the market value of Wilson

Sons per OWHL share at the time of exercise. The awards vested in four tranches from April 2009 to April 2012 and expire in April 2016.

As at 31 December 2013 the scheme was closed and there were no outstanding options.

The group has recorded no liability (2012: zero) in respect of this scheme. There were no exercisable options at period end.

Wilson Sons Limited LTIP

On 9 April 2007, the boards of Ocean Wilsons Holding Limited and Wilson Sons Limited approved a stock option plan which allows for the grant of phantom

options to eligible employees selected by the Wilson Sons Limited Board. The options will provide cash payments, on exercise, based on the number of options

multiplied by the growth in the price of a Wilson Sons Limited Brazilian Depositary Receipt “BDR” between the date of grant (the Base Price) and the date of

exercise (the “Exercise Price”). The plan is a Brazilian Real denominated scheme and options were issued at R$23.74 during 2007. A further 135,000 options were

issued under the plan at R$18.70 in 2008 and 2009 and a further 148,000 at R$24.58 in 2011. The awards vest in four tranches from two to six years from

date of issue.

Notes to the Accounts

32 Cash-settled share-based payments (continued)

Expected volatility was determined with reference to the historical volatility of the OWHL Group share price. The expected life used in the model has been

adjusted, based on management’s best estimate for exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. The options terminate on the expiry date or immediately

on resignation of the Director or senior employee, whichever is earlier.

Share options outstanding at the end of the period had a weighted average exercise price of R$23.56 (2012: R$23.56) and a weighted average remaining

contractual life of 2,031 days (2012: 1,667 days).

At period end there were 2,453,510 exercisable options (2012: 2,390,510).

On the 10 January 2014 eligible participants exercised a total of 2,338,750 options at a price of R$30.23 generating a payment liability of R$15.7 million

(US$6.6 million).

Stock option scheme

On 13 November 2013, the board of Wilson Sons Limited approved a Stock Option Plan, which allowed for the grant of options to eligible participants to be

selected by the board. The shareholders in special general meeting approved the plan on the 8 January 2014 including an increase in the authorized capital of

the company through the creation of up to 4,410,927 new shares. The options provide participants with the right to acquire shares via Brazilian Depositary

Receipts (“BDR”) in Wilson Sons Limited at a predetermined fixed price not less than the three-day average mid-price for the days preceding the date of option

issuance.

On 10 January 2014 options for the acquisition 2,914,100 were granted under the Stock Option Plan with an exercise price of R$31.23 as detailed below:

The Group’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and international financial markets and manages the

financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal reports. The primary objective is to keep a minimum exposure to those risks by using

financial instruments and by assessing and controlling the credit and liquidity risks according to the rules and procedures established by management. These

risks include market risk, (including currency risk, interest rate risk and price risk) credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group may use derivative financial instruments to hedge these risk exposures, with Board approval. The Group does not enter into trading financial

instruments, including derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Credit risk

The Group’s principal financial assets are cash, trade and other receivables and trading investments. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its bank

balances, trade receivables and investments. The amounts presented as receivables in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables as outlined

above.

The credit risk on liquid funds is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The credit

risk on investments held for trading is limited because the counterparties with whom the Group transacts are regulated institutions or banks with high credit

ratings. The company’s appointed investment manager, Hanseatic Asset Management LBG, evaluates the credit risk on trading investments prior to and during

the investment period.

In addition, the Company invests in Limited Partnerships and other similar investment vehicles. The level of credit risk associated with such investments is

dependent upon the terms and conditions and the management of the investment structures. The board reviews all investments at its regular meetings from

reports prepared by the company's investment managers

The Group has no significant concentration of credit risk. Ongoing credit evaluation is performed on the financial condition of accounts receivable.

Market risk

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

Foreign currency risk management

The Group undertakes certain transactions denominated or linked to foreign currencies and therefore exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arise. The Group

operates principally in Brazil with a substantial proportion of the Group’s revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities denominated in the Real. Due to the cost of

hedging the Real, the Group does not normally hedge its net exposure to the Brazilian Real, as the Board does not consider it economically viable.

Cash flows from investments in fixed assets are denominated in Brazilian Real and US Dollars. These investments are subject to currency fluctuations between the

time that price of goods or services are settled and the actual payment date. The resources and their application are monitored with purpose of matching the

currency cash flows and due dates.

The Group has contracted US Dollar-denominated and Brazilian Real-denominated debt, and the cash and cash equivalents balances are also US Dollar-

denominated and Brazilian Real-denominated.

In general terms, for operating cash flows, the Group seeks to neutralize the currency risk by matching assets (receivables) and liabilities (payments). Furthermore,

the Group seeks to generate an operating cash surplus in the same currency in which the debt service of each business is denominated.

The carrying amount of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the reporting date are as follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group is primarily exposed to unfavourable movements in the Brazilian Real on its Brazilian liabilities held by US$ functional currency entities.

The sensitivity analysis presented in the following table simulates how movements in the exchange rate may impact the Group. The analysis uses a baseline

scenario, represented by the carrying value of the operations, considering the exchange rate prevailing at 31 December 2013. The following table details the

Group’s sensitivity to three possible scenarios: the likely scenario (Probable) and two possible scenarios of deterioration of 25% (Possible) and 50% (Remote) in

the exchange rate. The Group uses the focus reports published by the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN) to determine the exchange rate used in the probable

scenario which is also used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the

reasonable possible change in foreign exchange rates.

The Brazilian Real foreign currency impact is mainly attributable to the exposure of outstanding Brazilian Real receivables and payables at year end in the Group.

The Sterling currency impact is mainly attributable to the exposure of sterling denominated investments.

In management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign exchange risk, as the yearend exposure does not reflect the exposure

during the year.

Interest rate risk management

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk as entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates.

The Group holds most of its debts linked to fixed rates. Most of the Group's fixed rates loans are with the FMM (Fundo da Marinha Mercante).

Other loans exposed to floating rates are as follows:

TJLP (Brazilian Long-Term Interest Rate) for Brazilian Real-denominated funding through FINAME credit line to Port Operations and Logistics operations.

DI (Brazilian Interbank Interest Rate) for Brazilian Real-denominated funding in Logistics operations.

6-month Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) for US Dollar-denominated funding for Port Operations.

The Brazilian Real-denominated investments yield interest rates corresponding to the DI daily fluctuation for privately-issued securities and/or “Selic-Over”

government-issued bonds. The US Dollar-denominated investments are part in time deposits, with short-term maturities.

The Group’s strategy for managing interest rate risk is to maintain a balanced portfolio of fixed and floating interest rates in order to balance both cost and

volatility. The Group may use derivative instruments to reduce cash flow interest rate attributable to interest rate volatility.

The Group has floating rate financial assets consisting of bank balances principally denominated in US Dollars and Brazilian Real that bear interest at rates based

on the banks floating interest rate.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The Group uses two important information sources to estimate the probable scenarios in determining interest rate scenarios, BM&F (Bolsa de Mercadorias e

Futuros) and Bloomberg. The following analysis concerns a possible fluctuation of revenue or expenses linked to the transactions and scenarios shown, without

considering their fair value. For floating rate liabilities and investments, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding or cash invested

at balance sheet date was outstanding or invested for the whole year.

The investment rate risk mix in Brazil is 18.2% Libor, 81.8% CDI.

Investment portfolio

Interest rate changes will always impact equity prices. The level and direction of change in equity prices is subject to prevailing local and world economics as well

as market sentiment all of which are very difficult to predict with any certainty.

Derivative financial instruments 

The Group may enter into derivatives contracts to manage risks arising from interest rate fluctuations. All such transactions are carried out within the guidelines

set by the Wilson Sons Limited Risk Management Committee. Generally the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss.

On 16 September 2013, Tecon Salvador, entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $74.4 million to hedge a portion of its

outstanding floating-rate debt with the IFC. This swap converts the floating interest rate liability based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, into a

fixed interest rate liability and expires in March 2020.The derivatives were entered into with Santander Brasil as counterparty, whose credit rating was AAA, as of

31 December 2013, according to Standard& Poor’s Brazilian local rating scale.

The fair value of the swap was estimated based on the yield curve as of 31 December 2013, and represents its carrying value. As of 31 December 2013, the

interest rate swap balance in other non-current liabilities was $1.2 million; and the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated

balance sheets was $1.2 million. The net change in fair value of the interest rate swap recorded as other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December

This analysis is based on foreign currency exchange rate variances that the Group considered to be reasonably possible at the end of the reporting period. The

analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular interest rates, remain constant and ignores any impact of forecast sales and purchases. Three scenarios

were simulated: the likely scenario (Probable) and two possible scenarios of deterioration of 25% (Possible) and 50% (Remote) in the exchange rate, the risk in

buying an options contracts is that the Group pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. In this case, in both scenarios the risk associated on 

31 December 2013 is US$1.2 million.

Cash Flow Hedge

The Group applies hedge accounting for transactions in order to manage the volatility in earnings. The swap is designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge. As

such, the swap is accounted for as an asset or a liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The effective portion of changes in fair

value of the derivative is recognised in other comprehensive income and presented as an asset revaluation reserve in equity. Any ineffective portion of changes in

fair value of the derivative is recognised immediately in the profit or loss.

If the hedging instrument no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting operations, expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the designation is revoked,

the model accounting hedges (hedge accounting) is discontinued prospectively when there is no more expectation for the forecasted transaction, and then the

amount stated in the equity is reclassified to the profit or loss.

On the initial designation of the derivative as a hedging instrument, the Group formally documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the

hedged transaction, including the risk management objective and strategy on the implementation of the hedge and the hedged risk, together with the methods

that will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the hedging relationship. The Group is utilizing the dollar offset method to assess the effectiveness of the swap,

analysing whether the hedging instruments are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of the respective hedged items attributable to the

hedged risk, and if the actual results for each coverage are within the range from 80 – 125%.

Under this methodology, the swap was deemed to be highly effective for the period ended 31 December 2013. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recognised

in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2013.

Market price sensitivity

By the nature of its activities, the Company's investments are exposed to market price fluctuations. However the portfolio as a whole does not correlate exactly to

any Stock Exchange Index as it is invested in a diversified range of markets. The investment manager and the board monitor the portfolio valuation on a regular

basis and consideration is given to hedging the portfolio against large market movements.

The sensitivity analysis below has been determined based on the exposure to market price risks at the year end and shows what the impact would be if market

prices had been 10 per cent higher or lower at the end of the financial year. The amounts below indicate an increase in profit or loss and total equity where

market prices increase by 10 per cent, assuming all other variables are constant. A fall in market prices of 10 per cent would give rise to an equal fall in profit or

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. The Group has adopted a policy

of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.

The Group’s sales policy is subordinated to the credit sales rules set by management, which seeks to mitigate any loss from customers’ delinquency.

Trade receivables consist of a large number of customers except for one large customer, which makes up 12% of revenue. Ongoing credit evaluation is

performed on the financial condition accounts receivable.

Liquidity risk management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in fulfilling obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled with cash payments or

other financial asset. The Group's approach in managing liquidity is to ensure that the Group always has sufficient liquidity to fulfil the obligations that expire,

under normal and stress conditions, without causing unacceptable losses or risk damage to the reputation of the Group.

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves,

banking facilities and reserve borrowing facilities by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets

and liabilities.

The Group uses costing based on activities to price the products and services, which assist in monitoring cash flow requirements and optimizing the return on

cash investments.

Normally, the Group ensures it has sufficient cash reserves to meet the expected operational expenses, including financial obligations. This practice excludes the

potential impact of extreme circumstances that cannot be reasonably foreseen, such as natural disasters.

The Group expects to meet its other obligations from operating cash flows and proceeds of maturing financial assets.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of non-derivative financial assets traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices. The carrying amounts of

financial assets and financial liabilities recorded at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate their fair value.

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on 31 December. Prior to 1

January 2013, the quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company was the current bid price. From 1 January 2013 and changed its fair

valuation inputs to utilise the last traded market price financial assets.

Fair value measurements recognised in the statement of financial position

The following table provides an analysis of financial instruments that are measured subsequent to initial recognition at fair value, grouped into levels 1 to 3

based on the degree to which fair value is observable:

Level 1 fair value measurements are those derived from quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability,

either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and

Level 3 Inputs for the asset that are not based on observable market data. Fair value measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include

inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable data (unobservable inputs).

37 Financial instruments (continued)

The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise

the use of observable market data where it is available and rely as little as possible on entity specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an

instrument are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.

If one of more of the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.

Valuation Process

Investments whose values are based on quoted market prices in active markets and are classified within Level I include active listed equities. The Company does

not adjust the quoted price for these instruments.

Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing

sources supported by observable inputs are classified within Level 2. These include certain private investments that are traded over the counter. As Level 2

investments include positions that are not traded in active markets and/or are subject to transfer restrictions, valuations may be adjusted to reflect illiquidity

and/or non-transferability, which are generally based on available market information.

Investments classified within Level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. Level 3 instruments include holdings in Limited Partnerships

and other funds. As observable prices are not available for these securities, the Company values these based on an estimate of their fair value, which is

determined as follows:

(i) 

For entities that have recently begun trading, and for which detailed financial information is not available, the valuation will be determined with reference to

the original cost plus any further drawdowns Jess any distributions received. This will be adjusted by reference to more recent benchmark subscriptions and

investments which give a guide to fair value, or where there are other factors that indicate there has been a significant change in fair value.

(ii)

For more established investments, the valuation will be determined by reference to recent financial information received from the underlying entity. This

underlying information is determined in accordance with International Private Equity and Venture Capital Guidelines and is determined using methodologies

that include applying an average sector earnings multiple to operating profits, reference to the valuation of the underlying net asset base and discounted

cash flows.

Level 3 valuations are reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Company's investment manager who reports to the Board of Directors quarterly. The investment

manager considers the appropriateness of the valuation model inputs used and the basis of the techniques used to ensure they are in line with industry

standards. In selecting the most appropriate valuation model the investment manager considers historical alignment to actual market transactions.

37 Financial instruments (continued)

None of the Company’s investments have moved between classification levels in the year and therefore no reconciliation is necessary. Sensitivity analysis in

relation to Level 3 investments has been included in the market price risk management analysis where the Company has shown impacts to the value of

investments if markets prices had been 10 per cent higher or lower at the end of the financial year.

38 Post-employment benefits

The Brazilian Group operates a private medical insurance scheme for its employees that requires eligible employees to pay fixed monthly contributions. Under

Brazilian law, eligible employees acquire the right to remain in the plan following retirement or termination of employment, in accordance with articles 30 and 31

of law 9.656/98, generating a post-employment commitment for the Group. Ex-employees remaining in the plan will be liable for paying the full cost of their

continued scheme membership. The future actuarial liability for the Group relates to the potential increase in plan costs resulting from additional claims due to

the expanded scheme membership.

Sensitivity analysis

The present value of future liabilities may change materially depending on market conditions. Fair values are calculated based on rates that are linked to

government bonds available in the Brazilian bond market (government bonds in the long-term – NTN-B). Brazil is an emerging market with greater interest rate

volatility, which may cause volatility in the fair value of the liability recorded in the balance sheet.
