We remain positive on the long-term prospects for emerging markets and our portfolio. Outlook With economists forecasting a further contraction in the Brazilian economy Management and staff this year and an uncertain political environment, the outlook for Brazil in On behalf of your Board and shareholders, I would like to thank our 2016 remains poor. However we remain confident in the resilience of our management and staff for their efforts and hard work during the year. Brazilian businesses and the performance delivered in 2015 gives us encouragement that we are well placed to face the coming challenges. Our J F Gouvêa Vieira container terminal business is beginning to benefit from a revival in Brazilian Chairman exports following the steep devaluation of the BRL, as evidenced by the 21 March 2015 record volumes moved in 2015, although we are also seeing some weakness in import cargoes. The fall in oil prices and uncertainty surrounding the Brazilian oil and gas industry continue to dampen demand for offshore support services and Brasco, our onshore support base provider faces some headwind in filling its expanded capacity. However we remain optimistic regarding the long-term prospects for this business. Our offshore joint venture, Wilson Sons Ultratug Offshore currently operates nineteen PSVs of which eighteen are under long-term contract. Wilson Sons Ultratug is due to receive two PSVs constructed at international shipyards in the second half of 2016, which we expect to operate in the Brazilian spot market and a further two constructed at our shipyard in Guarujá which already have long-term contracts. The shipyard order book is weaker than in previous years, but in addition to the two PSV’s already mentioned, the shipyard is forecast to complete two Oil Spill Recovery Vessels (OSRVs) for third parties and six tugboats for our fleet. Post year end, third parties signed contracts for two additional tugboats to be constructed in our shipyards with options for a further four vessels. Demand for harbour towage services is softer with volumes in the first two months of the year lower than the 2015 comparables. 4 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 In 2015 our shipyard in Guarujá successfully delivered to Fugro Brasil the first Remotely Operated Vehicle Support Vessel (ROVSV) built in Brazil, the Fugro Aquarius. Designed by Damen shipyards group, the vessel is 83 metres in length with a deck area of 520 square metres and accommodation for 60 people. 5 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Financial Review Operating profit provides a natural hedge against a depreciating BRL.

We considered the adequacy of the Group’s disclosures in respect of Of the Group’s 25 reporting components (2014: •), we subjected 9 to audits impairment testing and whether disclosures about the sensitivity of the for Group reporting purposes (2014: •) and 16 to specified risk-focused audit outcome of the impairment assessment to changes in key assumptions procedures (2014: X). The latter were not individually financially significant properly reflected the risks inherent in the key assumptions and the enough to require an audit for group reporting purposes, but did present requirements of accounting standards. specific individual risks that needed to be addressed. Provisions (US$13.9m) Risk vs 2014: ◄► The components within the scope of our work accounted for the following Refer to page 22 (Finance Committee Report), pages 37 and 38 (accounting percentages of the group’s results: policy) and page 59 (financial disclosures). • The risk – As is common for businesses in Brazil, the Group receives a high volume of legal claims from general civil proceedings, labour claims and changing tax legislation. These resultant contingent liabilities are potentially significant and the application of accounting standards to determine the amount, if any, to be provided as a liability, is inherently subjective. In making these decisions, the Directors use their judgement and where appropriate receive external advice, in order to make their best estimate of provisions to be recorded in the financial statements. This is one of the key areas that our audit concentrated on as a result of the impact that a material claim could have on the Group’s financial position and result for the year. • Our response – Our audit procedures included obtaining an understanding from the Directors and in-house legal counsel of the basis for their best estimates, challenging the basis used with reference to the latest available corroborative information, and an assessment of correspondence with the Group’s external counsel on all significant legal cases and discussions with them when further clarity was deemed necessary. In addition, we obtained direct formal confirmations from the Group’s external counsel for all significant litigation. With regard to open tax cases, in addition to the above we used our own tax specialists to assess the Group’s tax positions and its correspondence with the relevant tax authorities. We analysed and challenged the assumptions used to determine tax provisions based on our tax specialists’ knowledge and experiences of the application of the international and local legislation by the relevant authorities and courts. We also assessed whether the Group’s disclosures detailing significant legal proceedings adequately disclose the contingent liabilities of the Group.

The work on 24 of the 25 components in the Group were performed by the component auditor in Brazil and the rest by the Group team. The Group team visited Brazil twice in the year, including to assess the audit risk and strategy. Telephone conference meetings were also held with the component auditor. At these visits and meetings, the findings reported to the Group team were discussed in more detail, and any further work required by the Group team was then performed by the component auditor. 4.

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. 30 Consolidated Cash Flow Statement for the year ended 31 December 2015 Net cash inflow from operating activities Investing activities Acquisition of Briclog less net of cash acquired Interest received Dividends received from trading investments Proceeds on disposal of trading investments Proceeds on disposal of property, plant and equipment Purchase of property, plant and equipment Purchase of intangible assets Purchase of trading investments Net cash used in investing activities Financing activities Dividends paid Dividends paid to non-controlling interests in subsidiary Repayments of borrowings Repayments of obligations under finance leases New bank loans raised Derivative paid Net cash from financing activities Net increase in cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of year Effect of foreign exchange rate changes Cash and cash equivalents at end of year Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Year to Year to 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 2014 US$’000 145,459 105,556 Notes 29 – (26,677) 11 11,702 4,244 57,783 987 (65,779) (2,238) (75,558) (68,859) (22,279) (14,104) (49,894) (1,081) 31,881 (445) 9,062 5,786 103,396 6,490 (107,475) (2,136) (79,685) (91,239) (21,218) (13,239) (38,076) (1,879) 64,086 (154) (55,922) (10,480) 20,678 3,837 103,810 106,512 (26,927) (6,539) 97,561 103,810 31 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2015 1 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 16. The nature of the Group’s operations and its principal activities are set out in the operating and financial review on pages 6 to 17. 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 liabilities 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 Group closely monitors and manages its liquidity risk. The Group has considerable financial resources including US$97.6 million in cash and cash equivalents and the Group’s borrowings have a long maturity profile. The Group’s business activities together with the factors likely to affect its future development and performance are set out in the chairman’s statement, operating review and investment managers report on pages 1 to 15. The financial position, cash flows and borrowings of the Group are set out in the financial review in pages 6 to 10. In addition note 36 to the financial statements include details of its financial instruments and hedging activities and its exposure to credit risk and liquidity risk. Details of the Group’s borrowings are set out in note 22. Based on the Group’s forecasts and sensitivities run, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the accounts. Change in functional currency In accordance with IAS 21, the functional currency of an entity reflects the underlying transactions, events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. Accordingly, once the functional currency is determined, it can be changed only if there is a change to those underlying transactions, events and conditions. The Group considers the following factors in determining the functional currency of each entity. The currency that mainly influences sales prices for goods and services and the currency that mainly influences costs of providing goods or services. Following trends over the recent years, there have been changes in relation to underlying transactions, events and circumstances, mainly related to the generation of revenues by some companies. The projections made by management corroborate these trends. As a result, the Company changed the functional currency of Tecon Rio Grande S.A, Wilson, Sons Operadores Portuários Ltda and Wilson Sons Comércio Indústria e Agência de Navegação Ltda (from US Dollars to Brazilian Real) as of the first quarter of 2015. As stipulated by IAS 21, when there is a change in an entity’s functional currency, the entity shall apply the translation procedures applicable to the new functional currency prospectively from the date of the change. Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company an entities controlled by the Company (its subsidiaries) made up to 31 December each year (collectively the “Group”). 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. 32 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 2 Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued) Basis of consolidation (continued) 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. 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 A 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. 33 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 2 Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued) Investments in joint ventures (continued) 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. 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 no further adjustments are made 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; 34 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 2 Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued) Taxation (continued) • • 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. 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 Improvements: Lower of the rental period or useful life considering residual values Floating Craft: Vehicles: 25 to 35 years 5 years Plant and Equipment: 5 to 20 years The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. 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, except when there is no reasonable certainty that the lessee will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term in which the asset shall be fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life. Dry docking costs are capitalised and depreciated over the period in which the economic benefits are received, or until the next scheduled dry dock. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. 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. 35 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 2 Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued) 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 the income statement 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 the income statement. 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 the income statement 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 the income statement. 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. 36 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 2 Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued) 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 income statement. • 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 income statement 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 as 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 in 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. 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 the income statement. 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 the income statement. 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. 37 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 2 Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued) Provisions (continued) 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 managements’ 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 balance sheet 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 balance sheet. Revenue Revenue is measured at fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business net of trade discounts and other sales related taxes. Maritime revenue Revenue related to services is recognised when the work in proportion to the stage of completion of the transaction contracted has been performed in accordance with contracted terms. Revenue from construction contracts is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract, in accordance with the Group’s aforementioned accounting policy on construction contracts. Revenue from providing containerised and associated services is recognised on the date in which the services have been performed. Revenue from providing towage services is recognised on the date on which the services have been performed. Revenue from providing agency and logistics services is recognised when the services have been agreed and the transaction has occurred. Investment revenue Interest revenue is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. 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 asset’s net carrying amount on initial recognition. 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. Rentals payable under finance leases are charged to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease. 38 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 2 Significant accounting policies and critical accounting judgements (continued) 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 (including provision for Brazilian taxes) 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. 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. Current and deferred tax 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 could be susceptible to impairment and 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. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs 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. 39 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 2 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. The Group also recognises remaining maritime revenue when services have been fulfilled. The recognition of this revenue could be susceptible to timing errors in determining when services or obligations have been delivered, particularly given the Group’s large volume and geographical spread of transactions in progress at year end. 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 2015, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt new standards in advance. IFRS 9 Financial instruments IFRS 9, published in July 2014, replaces the existing guidance in IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement IFRS 9 includes revised guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments, including a new expected credit loss model for calculating impairment on financial assets, and the new general hedge accounting requirements. It also carries forward the guidance on recognition and derecognition of financial instruments from IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 15 establishes a comprehensive framework for determining whether, how much and when revenue is recognised. It replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 Revenue, IAS 11 Construction Contracts and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. IFRS 15 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018, with early adoption permitted. 3 Revenue An analysis of the Group’s revenue is as follows: Sales of services Revenue from construction contracts Investment income (note 7) All revenue is derived from continuing operations. 40 Year ended Year ended 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 455,037 53,885 508,922 16,908 525,830 2014 US$’000 530,080 103,440 633,520 16,975 650,495 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 4 Business and geographical segments Business segments Ocean Wilsons has two reportable segments: maritime services and investments.

As part of the annual impairment test review the carrying value of goodwill has been assessed with reference to its value in use reflecting the projected discounted cash flows of each cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated. The cash flows are based on the remaining life of the concession. Future cash flows are derived from the most recent financial budget and for the period of concession remaining. The key assumptions used in determining value in use relate to growth rate, discount rate, inflation and interest rate. Further projections include sales and operating margins, which are based on past experience, taking into account the effect of known or likely changes in market or operating conditions. Each cash-generating unit is assessed for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication of impairment. An estimated average growth rate used does not exceed the historical average for Tecon Rio Grande and Tecon Salvador. A growth rate of 5.5% has been estimated for Brasco Caju, and a discount rate of 9.5% for all business units has been used. These growth rates reflect the products, industries and countries in which the operating segments operate. These medium- to long-term growth rates have been reviewed by management during 2015 and are considered to be appropriate. After testing goodwill as mentioned above, no impairment losses were recognised for the periods presented. The goodwill of Tecon Rio Grande consists of goodwill on the acquisition of Tecon Rio Grande and goodwill incorporated in Tecon Rio Grande upon acquisition. With the change in the functional currency of Tecon Rio Grande, the incorporated goodwill is subject to an exchange rate effect. 45 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 14 Other intangible fixed assets Cost At 1 January 2014 Additions Write off Exchange differences At 1 January 2015 Additions Write off Exchange differences At 31 December 2015 Amortisation At 1 January 2014 Charge for the year Write off Exchange differences At 1 January 2015 Charge for the year Write off Exchange differences At 31 December 2015 Carrying amount 31 December 2015 31 December 2014 US$’000 66,851 2,136 (90) (4,549) 64,348 2,238 (58) (12,579) 53,949 20,201 6,941 (89) (1,270) 25,783 5,651 (52) (3,707) 27,675 26,274 38,565 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) the implementation of integrated management software (SAP) (iii) the Briclog acquisition in 2013 (Brasco Caju).

The Group has pledged assets having a carrying amount of approximately US$254.1 million (2014: US$214.7 million) to secure loans granted to the Group. In December 2015, management considered a number of property, plant and equipment to be discontinued in the logistics division. Local management hired an independent firm to measure the market value of the remaining asset related to dedicated operations amounting to US$871,000, and an impairment loss of US$729,000 was recognised for write-downs to the lower of its carrying amount and its fair value less cost to sell. The impairment loss has been applied to reduce the carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, and been included in profit/(loss) on disposal of property, plant and equipment. At 31 December 2015, the Group had entered into contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment amounting to US$4.6 million (2014: US$13.5 million). 47 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 16 Principal subsidiaries OCEAN WILSONS (INVESTMENTS) LIMITED Investment holding and dealing company WILSON SONS LIMITED Holding company Place of incorporation and operation Bermuda Method used Effective to account interest* for investment 100%** Consolidation Bermuda 58.25%** Consolidation WILSON SONS DE ADMINISTRAÇÃO E COMÉRCIO LTDA Brazil 58.25% Consolidation Holding company SAVEIROS CAMUYRANO SERVIÇOS MARÍTIMOS LTDA Brazil 58.25%*** Consolidation Tug operators WILSON, SONS S.A., COMÉRCIO, INDÚSTRIA, E AGÉNCIA DE NAVEGAÇÃO LTDA Brazil 58.25% Consolidation Shipbuilders WILSON, SONS ESTALEIRO LTDA Shipbuilders Brazil 58.25% Consolidation WILSON SONS AGENCIA MARÍTIMA LTDA Brazil 58.25% Consolidation Ship Agents WILSON, SONS NAVEGAÇÃO LTDA Ship Agents WILSON, SONS LOGÍSTICA LTDA Logistics WILSON, SONS TERMINAIS DE CARGAS LTDA Transport services EADI SANTO ANDRÉ TERMINAL DE CARGA LTDA Bonded warehousing VIS LIMITED Holding company WS PARTICIPAҪÕES S.A.

Magallanes Navegação Brasileira’s loan agreement with Banco do Brasil is guaranteed by a lien on the financed supply vessels. The security package also includes a standby letter of credit issued by Banco de Crédito e Inversiones – Chile for part of the debt balance, assignment of Petrobras’ long-term contracts and a corporate guarantee issued by Inversiones Magallanes Ltda – Chile. A cash reserve account, accounted for under long-term investments, funded with US$2.0 million (R$8.0 million) should be maintained until full repayment of the loan agreement. Covenants The joint venture Magallanes Navegação Brasileira S.A. has to comply with specific financial covenants. At 31 December 2015, the company was in compliance with all clauses in the loans contracts. Provisions for tax, labour and civil risks In the normal course of business in Brazil, the joint venture remains exposed to numerous local legal claims. It is the joint venture’s policy to vigorously contest such claims, many of which appear to have little substance in merit, and to manage such claims through its legal counsel. In addition to the cases for which the joint venture has made a provision, there are other tax, civil and labour disputes amounting to US$9.7 million (2014: US$12.6 million), whose probability of loss was estimated by the legal counsel as possible.

Ocean Wilsons (Investment) Portfolio 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 by third parties using various valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based in observable market data (unobservable inputs). 19 Inventories Operating materials Raw materials and spare parts Total Inventories are expected to be recovered in less than one year and there were no obsolete items. 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 8,657 19,628 28,285 2014 US$’000 11,498 20,962 32,460 51 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 20 Construction contracts Contract costs incurred plus recognised profits less recognised losses to date Less progress billings Amounts due to contract customers included in trade and other payables 21 Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables Amount receivable for the sale of services Allowance for doubtful debts Income taxation recoverable Other recoverable taxes and levies Loans to related parties Prepayments Other Total current Total non-current 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 72,019 (89,877) (17,858) 2014 US$’000 123,483 (129,821) (6,338) 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 48,163 (846) 47,317 5,732 25,340 28,392 11,360 10,168 2014 US$’000 50,617 (1,154) 49,463 9,352 34,000 31,314 12,431 11,174 128,309 147,734 83,981 44,328 96,199 51,535 128,309 147,734 Non-current trade receivables relate to: recoverable taxes with maturity dates in excess of one year, which comprise mainly PIS, COFINS, ISS and INSS, and intergroup loans. There are no indicators of impairment related to these receivables. As a matter of routine, the Group reviews taxes and levies impacting its business to ensure that payments of such amounts are correctly made and that no amounts are paid unnecessarily. The Group is developing a plan to use its tax credits, respecting the legal term for using tax credits from prior years and, if unable to recover by compensation, requesting reimbursement of these values from the Receita Federal do Brasil (Brazilian Inland Revenue Service). Included in the Group’s trade receivable balances are debtors with a carrying amount of US$9.0 million (2014: US$8.8 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.

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$1.2 million, which are aged, greater than 180 days. The impairment recognised represents the difference between the carrying amount of these trade receivables and the present value of the expected settlement proceeds. 52 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 2014 US$’000 – – – 846 846 2015 US$’000 1,154 (3,329) 3,405 (384) 846 – – – 1,154 1,154 2014 US$’000 1,718 (3,106) 2,743 (201) 1,154 21 Trade and other receivables (continued) The Group does not hold any collateral over these balances.

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.

For some contracts, the corporate guarantee is additional to: (i) a pledge of the respective financed tugboat, (ii) a lien over the logistics and port operations equipment financed. Loans with Banco do Brasil rely on a corporate guarantee from Wilson, Sons de Administração e Comércio Ltda. and a pledge of the respective financed tugboat. The loans that Tecon Salvador holds with IFC are guaranteed by shares of the company, projects’ cash flows, equipment and buildings. The loan agreement that Tecon Rio Grande has with the Export-Import Bank of China for equipment acquisition is guaranteed by a standby letter of credit issued by Itaú BBA S.A, which in turn has the pledge on the financed equipment. Undrawn credit facilities At 31 December 2015, the Group had available US$51.1 million of undrawn borrowing facilities. For each disbursement, there is a set of conditions precedent that must be satisfied. 54 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 22 Bank loans and overdrafts (continued) Covenants The Wilson, Sons de Administração e Comércio Ltda. (“WSAC”) holding company, as corporate guarantor, has to comply with financial covenants in both Wilson Sons Estaleiros Ltda and Brasco Logística Offshore Ltda loan agreements signed with BNDES. The subsidiary Tecon Salvador has to observe affirmative and negative covenants stated in its loan agreement with the International Finance Corporation – IFC, including the maintenance of specific liquidity ratios and a capital structure. As a result of the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar at 30 September 2015 Tecon Salvador S.A. was in excess of the maximum covenant of financial debt to tangible net worth ratio in Brazilian Real in its loan agreement with the IFC. Tecon Salvador S.A. was granted a waiver for compliance valid until 30 September 2016. The value of the Loan affected at 31 December 2015 was US$59.0 million. The subsidiary Tecon Rio Grande has to comply with financial covenants in its loan agreement with BNDES, such as a minimum liquidity ratio and capital structure. Fair value Management estimates the fair value of the Group's borrowings as follows: Bank loans BNDES BB IFC Itaú Eximbank Finimp Total 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 218,190 59,319 75,387 – 7,356 3,503 2014 US$’000 243,381 68,837 54,985 12,233 9,462 6,287 363,755 395,185 23 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 Risk Management Committee. Generally the Group seeks to apply hedge accounting in order to manage volatility in profit or loss. 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 US$74.4 million to hedge a portion of its outstanding floating-rate debt with IFC. On 31 December 2015 the notional amount was US$58.4 million, equivalent to the outstanding debt amount on that date. This swap converts floating interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate, or LIBOR, into fixed-rate interest and expires in March 2020. The derivatives were entered into with Santander Brasil as counterparty, whose credit rating was AAA, as of 31 December 2015, according to Standard & Poor’s Brazilian local rating scale. Tecon Salvador is required to pay the counterparty a stream of fixed interest payments at rates fixed from 0.553% to 4.250%, according to the schedule agreement, and in turn, receives variable interest payments based on 6-month LIBOR. The net receipts or payments from the swap are recorded as a financial expense. 55 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 23 Derivative financial instruments (continued) Within one year In the second year In the third to fifth years (including) After five years Fair Value US$’000 Outflows (1,339) (482) (1,065) – Net effect (1,339) (482) (1,065) – (2,886) (2,886) (2,886) The fair value of the swap was estimated based on the yield curve as of 31 December 2015, and represents its carrying value. As of 31 December 2015, the interest rate swap balance in other non-current liabilities was US$2.9 million; and the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet was US$3.8 million. The net change in fair value of the interest rate swap recorded as other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2015 was an after-tax loss of US$1.5 million. 31 December 2015 Financial Assets Interest Rates Swap Total Derivative Sensitivity Analysis Notional Amount US$000’s Maturity 58,400 March 2020 Fair Value US$000’s (2,886) (2,886) This analysis is based on 6-month Libor interest 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 foreign exchange 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 reduction of 25% (Possible) and 50% (Remote) in the interest rate. Even if the Group has to pay adjustments in future fixings, the swap contract fixes the total interest amount that the Group will pay is equal as the rate agreed. In this case in both scenarios the risk associated on 31 December 2015 is US$2.9 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 sheet 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 income statement. 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 income statement. 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 2015. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2015. 56 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 24 Deferred tax The following are the major deferred tax liabilities and assets recognised by the Group and movements thereon during the current and prior reporting period.

The following is the analysis of the deferred tax balances (after offset) for financial reporting purposes. Deferred tax liabilities Deferred tax assets 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 (52,631) 32,128 (20,503) 2014 US$’000 (45,197) 31,665 (13,532) At the balance sheet date the Group had unused tax losses of US$17.9 million (2014: US$48.9 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$6.1 million (2014: US$7.1 million) due to the unpredictability of future profit streams. Retranslation of non-current asset valuation deferred tax arises on Brazilian property, plant and equipment held in US dollar functional currency businesses. Deferred tax is calculated on the difference between the historical US Dollar balances recorded in the Group’s accounts and the Brazilian Real balances used in the Group’s Brazilian tax calculations. Deferred tax on exchange variance on loans arises from exchange gains or losses on the Group’s US Dollar and Brazilian Real denominated loans linked to the US Dollar that are not deductible or payable for tax in the period they arise. Exchange gains on these loans are taxable when settled and not in the period in which gains arise. 25 Obligations under finance leases Amounts payable under finance leases Within one year In the second to fifth years inclusive After five years Less future finance charges Present value of lease obligations Less: Amounts due for settlement within 12 months (shown under current liabilities) Amount due for settlement after 12 months Minimum lease payments 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 1,517 2,399 – 3,916 (1,188) 2,728 (1,192) 1,536 2014 US$’000 1,859 4,604 – 6,463 (1,766) 4,697 1,444 3,253 57 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 25 Obligations under finance leases (continued) Amounts payable under finance leases Within one year In the second to fifth years inclusive After five years Less future finance charges Present value of lease obligations Less: Amounts due for settlement within 12 months (shown under current liabilities) Amount due for settlement after 12 months Present value of Minimum lease payments 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 2014 US$’000 1,192 1,536 – 2,728 – – 1,192 1,536 1,444 3,253 – 4,697 – – 1,444 3,253 IIt is the Group’s policy to lease certain of its fixtures and equipment under finance leases. The average lease term is 5 years. The average outstanding lease term at 31 December 2015 was 26 months. For the year ended 31 December 2015, the average effective borrowing rate was 16.75% (2014: 13.94%). Interest rates are set at contract date. All leases are denominated in Brazilian Real and include a fixed repayment and a variable finance charge linked to the Brazilian interest rate. Interest rates range from 15.39% to 17.76%. There is a non-significant difference between the fair value and the present value of the Group's lease obligations. The present value is calculated with its own interest rate over the future installments of each contract. The Group’s obligations under finance leases are secured by the lessors’ rights over the leased assets. 26 Trade and other payables Trade creditors Amounts due to construction contract customers (note 20) Other taxes Accruals and deferred income Share based payment liability Total 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 39,875 17,858 7,704 13,259 93 78,889 2014 US$’000 46,007 6,338 11,064 15,409 61 78,879 Trade creditors and accruals principally comprise amounts outstanding for trade purposes and ongoing costs. The average credit period for trade purchases is 61 days (2014: 40 days). For most suppliers interest is charged on outstanding trade payable balances at various interest rates. The Group has financial risk management policies in place to ensure that payables are paid within the credit timeframe. The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade payables approximates their fair value. 58 27 Provisions At 1 January 2014 Increase in provisions in the year Utilisation of provisions Exchange difference At 31 December 2014 Increase in provisions in the year Utilisation of provisions Exchange difference At 31 December 2015 Provisions comprise legal claims relating to civil cases, tax cases and legal claims by former employees.

It is the Group's policy to vigorously contest such claims, many of which appear to have little substance in merit, and to manage such claims through its legal counsel. In addition to the cases for which the Group booked the provision there are other tax, civil and labour disputes amounting to US$84.1 million (2014: US$112.3 million) with probability of loss was estimated by the legal counsels as possible. The breakdown of possible claims is described as follows: The analysis of possible losses by type: Civil and environmental cases Tax cases Labour claims 31 December 31 December 2015 US$’000 4,453 63,056 16,609 84,118 2014 US$’000 4,292 82,416 25,582 112,290 The main probable and possible claims against the Group are described below: Civil and environmental cases – Indemnification claims involving material damages, environmental and shipping claims and other contractual disputes. Labour claims – Most claims involve payment of health risks, additional overtime and other allowances. Tax cases – The Group litigates against governments in respect of assessments considered inappropriate. Procedure for classification of legal liabilities as probable, possible or remote loss is by the external lawyers: Upon receipt of the notification of a new judicial lawsuit, the external lawyer generally classifies it as a possible claim, recording the total amount involved. From 2014, the Group is using the estimated value at risk and not the total amount involved in each process. Exceptionally, if there is sufficient knowledge from the beginning that there is 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 defence 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. The Group considers as relevant causes involving amounts, assets or rights over US$1.3 million. 59 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 28 Share capital Authorised 50,060,000 ordinary shares of 20p each Issued and fully paid 35,363,040 ordinary shares of 20p each 2015 US$’000 2014 US$’000 16,119 16,119 11,390 11,390 The company has one class of ordinary share which carries no right to fixed income.

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 2016 to September 2021. The Private Investment Fund is marked to fair value on a daily basis against current earnings. This private investment fund does not have significant financial obligations.

The fund´s investments are highly liquid which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Additionally, US Dollar linked investments are made through Itaú Exchange FICFI, whose purpose is to preserve the US dollar value of the investment. Cash and cash equivalents held in Brazil amount to US$83.3 million (2014: US$70.3 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$0.4 million (2014: US$0.5 million) were financed by new finance leases. 30 Contingent liabilities In the normal course of business in Brazil, the Group continues to be exposed to numerous local legal claims.

The total estimated contingent claims at 31 December 2015 are US$84.1 million (2014: US$112.3 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. 31 Share options 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 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 neutralise 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: Liabilities Assets 2015 US$’000 2014 US$’000 2015 US$’000 2014 US$’000 315,553 140,415 372,009 324,549 26 – – 27 – – 1,975 5,522 – 9,931 6,662 3,747 315,579 140,442 379,506 344,889 Real Sterling Euro Singapore dollar 66 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 36 Financial instruments (continued) Foreign currency sensitivity analysis The Group is primarily exposed to unfavourable movements in the Brazilian Real on its Brazilian liabilities held by US Dollar functional currency entities. The sensitivity analysis presented in the following sections, which refer to the position on 31 December 2015, estimates the impacts of the Brazilian Real devaluation against the US Dollar. A baseline scenario is determined based both on the carrying value of the operations, and the “PTAX” rate as of 31 December 2015. Then, three additional, exchange rate scenarios are contemplated: the likely scenario (Probable) and two possible scenarios of deterioration of 25% (Possible) and 50% (Remote) in the exchange rate. The Group uses the Brazilian Central Bank’s “Focus” report to determine the probable scenario.

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. 67 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 36 Financial instruments (continued) DI (Brazilian Interbank Interest Rate) for Brazilian Real-denominated funding in Logistics operations, and 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.

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. The Group uses cash flow hedges to limit its exposure that may result from the variation of floating interest rates. On 16 September 2013, its subsidiary, Tecon Salvador, entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an initial notional amount of $74.4 million to hedge a portion of its outstanding floating-rate debt with IFC. On 31 December 2015, the notional amount was $58.4 million, equivalent to the outstanding debt amount on that date. 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 2015, according to Standard & Poor’s Brazilian local rating scale. 69 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 36 Financial instruments (continued) 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. Within one year In the second year In the third to fifth years (including) After five years Fair Value Outflows (1,339) (482) (1,065) – (2,886) Net effect (1,339) (482) (1,065) – (2,886) (2,886) The fair value of the swap was estimated based on the yield curve as of 31 December 2015, and represents its carrying value. As of 31 December 2015, the interest rate swap balance in other current and non-current liabilities was US$2.9 million; and the balance in accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheets was US$3.8 million. The net change in fair value of the interest rate swap recorded as other comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2015 was an after-tax loss of US$1.5 million. 31 December 2015 Financial Assets Interest Rates Swap Total Derivative Sensitivity Analysis Notional Amount US$ Maturity Fair Value US$ 58,400 Mar/2020 (2,886) (2,886) This analysis is based on 6-month Libor interest 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 foreign exchange 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 reduction of 25% (Possible) and 50% (Remote) in the interest rate. Even if the Group has to pay adjustments in future fixings, the swap contract fixes the total interest amount that the Group will pay is equal as the rate agreed. In this case in both scenarios the risk associated on 31 December 2015 is US$2.9 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 2015. There was no hedge ineffectiveness recognised in profit or loss for the year ended 31 December 2015. 70 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 36 Financial instruments (continued) 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 loss and total equity. Profit or loss Total equity Credit risk management 2015 US$’000 23,616 23,616 2014 US$’000 23,649 23,649 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. Trade and other receivables disclosed in the balance sheet are shown net of the allowance for doubtful debts. The allowance is booked whenever a loss is identified, which based on past experience is an indication of impaired cash flows. Ocean Wilsons (Investments) Limited primarily transacts with regulated institutions on normal market terms which are trade date plus one to three days. The levels of amounts outstanding from brokers are regularly reviewed by the Investment Manager. The duration of credit risk associated with the investment transaction is the period between the date the transaction took place, the trade date and the date the stock and cash are transferred, and the settlement date. The level of risk during the period is the difference between the value of the original transaction and its replacement with a new transaction. In addition the Ocean Wilsons (Investments) Limited 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. 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. 71 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 Notes to the Accounts 36 Financial instruments (continued) The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.

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 2015. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Company 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). 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. 72 Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited/Annual Report 2015 36 Financial instruments (continued) 31 December 2015 Financial assets at FVTPL Level 1 US$’000 Level 2 US$’000 Level 3 US$’000 Total US$’000 Non-derivative financial assets for trading 3,885 138,100 94,170 236,155 31 December 2014 Financial assets at FVTPL Level 1 US$’000 Level 2 US$’000 Level 3 US$’000 Total US$’000 Non-derivative financial assets for trading 70,795 90,489 75,207 236,491 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 less 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. 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% higher or lower at the end of the financial year.

In accordance with Brazilian law, eligible employees with greater than ten years service acquire the right to remain in the plan following retirement or termination of employment, 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.
