Notes to the consolidated financial statements

NOTE 1: CORPORATE INFORMATION

Prosafe SE (the ‘Company’) is a public limited company domiciled in Larnaca, Cyprus. The Company is listed on 

the Oslo Stock Exchange with ticker code PRS. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial 

statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the ‘Group’). The consolidated 

financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013 were authorised for issue in accordance with a 

resolution of the board of directors on 2 April 2014. The Group is the world’s leading owner and operator of 

semi-submersible accommodation/service vessels.

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial 

Reporting Standards (IFRS) endorsed by the European Union (EU) and the requirements of the Cyprus 

Companies Law, Cap 113. The accounts have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative 

financial instruments and financial investments that are stated at fair value. The consolidated financial 

statements are presented in US dollars (USD), and all values are presented in USD million unless otherwise 

stated. The accounting principles adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year. 

New and amended standards 

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the 

following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC interpretations effective as of 1 January 2013:

  • Amendments to IAS 1 -  Presentation of items of Other Comprehensive income. The amendments intro- 

  duce a grouping of items presented in OCI. Items that will be reclassified to profit and loss at a future point  

  in time, have to be presented separately from items that will not be reclassified. The amendments affect  

  presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

  • Amendments to IAS 1 - Clarification of the requirement for comparative information. The amendments  

  clarify the difference between voluntary additional comparative information and the minimum required  

  comparative information. An entity must include comparative information in the related notes to the  

  financial statements when it voluntarily provides comparative information beyond the minimum required  

  comparative period. The amendments affect presentation only and have no impact on the Group’s 

  financial position or performance.  

  • IFRS 13 establishes a single source of guidance under IFRS for all fair value measurements. IFRS 13 does  

  not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how to measure  

  fair value.  

  Application of IFRS has not materially impacted the fair value measurements of the Group. Additional  

  disclosures are provided in the individual notes, if required.    

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
24

Approved IFRSs and IFRICs with future effective dates 

Standards and interpretations that are issued up to the date of issuance of the consolidated financial 

statements, but not yet effective, are disclosed below. The Group’s intention is to adopt the relevant 

new and amended standards and interpretations when they become effective, subject to EU approval 

before the consolidated financial statements are issued.  

IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements  

As a consequence of the issuance of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint 

Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, the IASB has amended IAS 27. IAS 

27 now only deals with accounting in the separate financial statements. The title of the standard 

is amended accordingly. Within the EU/EEA area, the amendments are effective for annual periods 

beginning on or after 1 January 2014.  

The amendment is not expected to have any impact on disclosures, financial position or performance 

when applied at a future date.

IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation 

IAS 32 is amended in order to clarify the meaning of “currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off” 

and the application of the IAS 32 offsetting criteria to settlement systems which apply gross settlement 

mechanisms that are not simultaneous. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on 

or after 1 January 2014.  

The amendment is not expected to have any impact on disclosures, financial position or performance 

when applied at a future date. 

IAS 36 Impairment of Assets  

IAS 36 is amended to address the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired 

assets if that amount is based on fair value less costs of disposal. These amendments are issued to 

align the disclosure requirements in IAS 36 with the IASB’s original intention when consequential 

amendments to IAS 36 were made as a result of the issuance of IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. 

The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014. 

The amendment is not expected to have any impact on disclosures, financial position or performance 

when applied at a future date. 

IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

IAS 39 is amended to provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when a derivative designated 

as a hedging instrument is novated to provide clearing with a central counterparty as a result of law 

or other regulation, when certain criteria are met. These amendments are effective for annual periods 

beginning on or after 1 January 2014. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
25

The amendment is not expected to have any impact on disclosures, financial position or performance 

when applied at a future date.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification and Measurement

IFRS 9, as issued, reflects the two first phases of IASB’s work on the replacement of IAS 39, which are 

classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities and hedge accounting. 

Third and last phase of this project will address amortised cost measurement and impairment of 

financial assets. The mandatory effective date of IFRS 9 has been removed to allow sufficient time for 

entities to prepare to apply the new Standard. The IASB have decided that a new date should be decided 

upon when the entire IFRS 9 project is closer to completion.  

The Group will evaluate potential effects of IFRS 9 as soon as the final standard, including all phases, 

is issued.  

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements

IFRS 10 replaces the portion of IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements that addresses 

the accounting for consolidated financial statements and SIC-12 Consolidation – Special Purpose 

Entities. IFRS 10 establishes a single control model that applies to all entities including special purpose 

entities. The changes introduced by IFRS 10 will require management to exercise significant judgement 

to determine which entities are controlled and therefore are required to be consolidated by a parent, 

compared with the requirements that were in IAS 27. In accordance with IFRS 10, an investor controls 

another entity when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the other 

entity, and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Within the EU/EEA 

area, IFRS 10 is effective for annual periods starting on or after 1 January 2014.  

The amendment is not expected to have any impact on disclosures, financial position or performance when 

applied at a future date.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities 

IFRS 12 applies for enterprises with interests in subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and 

structured entities. IFRS 12 replaces the disclosure requirements that were previously included in IAS 27 

Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements, IAS 28 Investments in Associates and IAS 31 Interests 

in Joint Ventures.  A number of new disclosures are also required. Within the EU/EEA area, IFRS 12 is 

effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.  

The amendment will have impact on the disclosure notes when applied at a future date, but is not 

expected to have any impact on financial position or performance.

Annual Improvements 2010 – 2012 

IASBs annual improvements project 2010 – 2012 includes amendments to a number of standards: 

 
 
 
 
26

IFRS 2 Share-based Payment 

Performance condition and service condition are defined in order to clarify various issues, including the 

following: 

  • A performance condition must contain a service condition 

  • A performance target must be met while the counterparty is rendering service 

  • A performance target may relate to the operations or activities of an entity, or to those of another  

  entity in the same group 

  • A performance condition may be a market or non-market condition 

  • If the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the vesting period, the  

  service condition is not satisfied

IFRS 3 Business Combinations 

Contingent consideration in a business acquisition that is not classified as equity is subsequently 

measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not it falls within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial 

Instruments.

IFRS 8 Operating Segments 

Operating segments may be combined/aggregated if aggregation is consistent with the core principle 

of the standard, if the segments have similar economic characteristics and if they are similar in other 

qualitative respects. If they are combined, the entity must disclose the economic characteristics (e.g., 

sales and gross margins) used to assess whether the segments are ‘similar’.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement 

The IASB clarified that short-term receivables and payables with no stated interest rates can be held at 

invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is immaterial. 

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets 

The amendment to IAS 16.35(a) and IAS 38.80(a) clarifies that revaluation can be performed, as follows: 

  • Adjust the gross carrying amount of the asset to market value, or 

  • Determine the market value of the carrying amount and adjust the gross carrying amount  

  proportionately so that the resulting carrying amount equals the market value 

The IASB also clarified that accumulated depreciation/amortisation is the difference between the  

gross carrying amount and the carrying amount of the asset. The amendment to IAS 16.35(b) and  

IAS 38.80(b) clarifies that the accumulated depreciation/amortisation is eliminated so that the gross  

carrying amount and carrying amount equal the market value.

Annual Improvements 2011 – 2013 

IASBs annual improvements project 2011 – 2013 includes amendments to a number of standards: 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
27

IFRS 3 Business Combinations 

The amendment clarifies that: 

  • Joint arrangements are outside the scope of IFRS 3, not just joint ventures 

  • The scope exception applies only to the accounting in the financial statements of the joint  

  arrangement itself

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement 

The portfolio exception in IFRS 13 can be applied to financial assets, financial liabilities and other 

contracts. 

NOTE 3: SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

JUDGMENTS. The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements requires management 

to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue, expenses, 

assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the end of the reporting period. 

However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a 

material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods. 

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following 

judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the consolidated 

financial statements. 

Prosafe owns and operates a fleet of accommodation and service vessels. Based on an evaluation of the 

terms and conditions of the arrangements in the contracts, the Group has determined that it retains 

all significant risks and rewards of ownership of the vessels and therefore none of the contracts have 

been accounted for as a financial lease.  

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS. The estimates and assumptions are assessed on a continuous basis. 

The estimates and assumptions which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in 

the financial statements relate to depreciation of fixed assets, impairment assessment of non-financial 

assets, share-based payments, taxes and fair value of financial instruments. Estimated useful life of 

the Group’s semi-submersible accommodation/service vessels is 30 to 45 years dependent on the age 

at the time of acquisition and subsequent refurbishments. The management determines whether 

goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the 

cash-generating units to which the goodwill is allocated, which requires management to estimate the 

future cash flow from the cash-generating units and to apply a suitable discount rate.  Further details 

are given in note 9. Estimating fair value for share-based payments requires determination of the most 

appropriate valuation model and the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model including the 

expected life of the share options, volatility and dividend yield. 

When the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the statement of financial 

position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
28

including the discounted cash flows model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable 

markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing 

fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility.  

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and 

timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the 

long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the 

actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate 

future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. 

BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION. The consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of 

the parent company and its subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, 

being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that 

such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting 

period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income 

and expenses, unrealised gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions are 

eliminated in full.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an 

equity transaction. If the Group loses control over a subsidiary, it: 

  • derecognises the assets and liability of the subsidiary 

  • derecognises the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest 

  • derecognises the cumulative translation differences, recorded in other comprehensive income 

  • recognises the fair value of the consideration received 

  • recognises the fair value of any investment retained 

  • recognises any surplus or deficit in profit and loss 

  • reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognised in other comprehensive income  

  to profit and loss or retained earnings, as appropriate. 

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS AND GOODWILL. Business combinations are accounted for using the 

acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration 

transferred, measured at acquisition date fair value. Acquisition costs incurred are expensed and 

included in administrative expenses. 

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for 

appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic 

circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.  

Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred 

and the amount recognised for non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and 

liabilities assumed. If this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary 

acquired, the difference is recognised in profit and loss. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
29

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. For the 

purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition 

date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the 

combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those 

units. 

Where goodwill forms part of a cash generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is 

disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount 

of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed 

of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the 

portion of the cash generating unit retained.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The presentation currency is USD. This is also the functional 

currency for the parent company. Transactions in other currencies than the functional currency are 

translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary items in other currencies 

than the functional currency are translated to the functional currency at the exchange rate on the 

balance sheet date, and the currency difference is recognised in the profit and loss account. Non-

monetary items in other currencies than the functional currency are translated at the exchange rate at 

the transaction date. When consolidating companies with a functional currency other than the USD, 

profit and loss items are translated at the monthly average exchange rate, while balance sheet items 

are translated at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Translation differences are taken to other 

comprehensive income. On disposal of a foreign operation, the deferred cumulative amount recognised 

in other comprehensive income, relating to that particular operation, is recognised in the income 

statement.

SEGMENT REPORTING. For management and monitoring purposes, the Group is organised into one 

segment; chartering and operation of accommodation/service vessels. For geographical information, 

reference is made to note 4. 

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic 

benefits will flow to Prosafe and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair 

value of the consideration received. Charter income is recognised on a straight line basis over the period 

the vessel has operated. Prosafe does not transfer the risks or benefits of ownership of the asset to the 

customers and none of the contracts are accounted for as a financial lease. Management, crew services 

and other related income are recognised in the period the services are rendered. Interest income is 

recognised on an accrual basis. Interest income is included in financial items in the income statement. 

Dividends are recognised when Prosafe’s right to receive the payment is established.  

PROVISIONS are recognised when, and only when, the Group has a present obligation as a result of 

events that have taken place, and it can be proven probable that a financial settlement will take place 

as a result of this liability, and that the size of the amount can be measured reliably. Provisions are 

reviewed on each balance sheet date and their level reflects the best estimate of the liability.   

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
30

When Prosafe expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, the reimbursement is recognised 

as a separate asset, but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. The expense relating to any 

provision is presented in the income statement net of any reimbursement.

TANGIBLE ASSETS are stated at acquisition cost less cumulative depreciation and accumulated 

impairment losses, if any. Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated 

economically useful lives, with account taken of their estimated residual value. The management makes 

annual assessments of residual value, methods of depreciation and the remaining economic life of 

the assets. Components of an asset which have an estimated shorter life than the main component of 

the asset are accordingly depreciated over this shorter period. Acquisition cost includes costs directly 

attributable to the acquisition of the assets. Subsequent expenditures are added to the book value of 

the asset or accounted for on a separate basis, when it is likely that future benefits would derive from 

the expenditures. The vessels are subject to a periodic survey every five years, and associated costs 

are amortised over the five-year period to the next survey. Other repair and maintenance costs are 

expensed in the period they are incurred.  

In accordance with IAS 23, borrowing costs are capitalised on qualifying assets. 

Tangible fixed assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over their useful lifetime as follows:

  • Semi-submersible vessels – 30 to 45 years dependent on the age at the time of the acquisition and 

 subsequent refurbishments 

  • Buildings – 20 to 30 years 

  • Equipment – 3 to 5 years

IMPAIRMENT OF NON-FINANCIAL ASSETS. The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there 

is an indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists, or when annual impairment 

testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s 

recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cash generating unit’s fair value less costs to sell 

and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash 

inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying 

amount of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered 

impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. 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 risks specific to the asset. In determining fair value 

less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions 

can be identified, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by 

valuation multiples, quoted share prices for publicly traded subsidiaries or other available fair value 

indicators. 

The Group bases its impairment calculation on a detailed forecast calculation which is prepared for the 

Group’s cash generating unit. The forecast calculation is generally covering a period of five years. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
31

For longer periods, a long term growth rate is calculated and applied to project future cash flows after 

the fifth year.

For non-financial assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to 

whether there is any indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist 

or may have decreased. If such indication exists, Prosafe estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. 

A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions 

used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognised.

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, and when circumstances 

indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. Impairment is determined by assessing the 

recoverable amount of each cash-generating unit to which the goodwill relates. When the recoverable 

amount is lower than the carrying amount, the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement. 

Impairment losses related to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods. 

INVENTORIES are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the 

estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated costs necessary to make the 

sale. 

FINANCIAL ASSETS 

Initial recognition 

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, loans and 

receivables or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. 

Prosafe determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition.

Financial assets are recognised initially at fair value plus directly attributable costs, with the exception 

of assets measured at fair value through profit and loss. 

Prosafe’s financial assets include cash and short-term deposits, trade and other receivables, financial 

derivatives and shares. 

Subsequent measurement 

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as follows:

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss 

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss include financial assets held for trading. 

This category also includes derivative instruments entered into that do not meet the hedge accounting 

criteria as defined by IAS 39. Gains and losses on assets held for trading are recognised in the income 

statement. Financial assets are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of 

selling in the near future. This category also includes derivative instruments entered into that do not 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
32

meet the hedge accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39. Financial assets at fair value through profit 

and loss are carried in the balance sheet at fair value with gains and losses recognised in the income 

statement. 

Loans and receivables 

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are 

not quoted in an active market. Such financial assets are carried at amortised cost using the effective 

interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognised in the consolidated income statement when the 

loans and receivables are derecognised or impaired, as well as through the amortisation process.

Derecognition 

A financial asset is derecognised when: 

  • The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired.  

  • The Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation

 to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” 

 arrangement; and either the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,  

 or the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset,  

 but has transferred control of the asset. 

Impairment of financial assets 

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset 

or a group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets are deemed to 

be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events 

that have occurred after the initial recognition of the asset and that loss event has an impact on the 

estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliable 

estimated.

Where there is evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the 

acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on the investment previously 

recognised in the income statement, is removed from other comprehensive income and recognised in 

the income statement. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the income 

statement; increases in their fair value after impairment are recognised directly in other comprehensive 

income.

FINANCIAL LIABILITIES 

Initial recognition 

Financial liabilities within the scope of IAS 39 are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through 

profit or loss, financial liabilities measured at amortised cost or as derivatives designated as hedging 

instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Prosafe determines the classification of its financial 

liabilities at initial recognition. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
33

Financial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in case of loans and borrowings, net of 

directly attributable costs. 

Prosafe’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables, bank overdraft, loans and borrowings, 

financial guarantee contracts and derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement 

The subsequent measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as follows: 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss 

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss include financial liabilities held for trading. 

Financial liabilities are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the 

near future. This category also includes derivative instruments entered into that do not meet the hedge 

accounting criteria as defined by IAS 39. Gains and losses on liabilities held for trading are recognised in 

the income statement.

Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost 

After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised 

cost. Amortised cost is computed using the effective interest method. The calculation takes into 

account any transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. 

Gains and losses are recognised in the income statement when the liabilities are derecognised as well 

as through the amortisation process. 

Derecognition  

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or 

expires.  

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially 

different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or 

modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, 

and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the income statement.

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The fair value of financial instruments that are actively traded in organised financial markets is 

determined by reference to quoted market bid prices at the close of business on the balance sheet 

date. For financial instruments where there is no active market, fair value is determined using valuation 

techniques. Such techniques may include using recent arm’s length market transactions, reference 

to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow 

analysis or other valuation models.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
34

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS. Companies within the Group make contributions to pension schemes that are 

defined contribution plans. The companies’ payments are recognised in the income statement for the 

year to which the contribution applies.  

SHARE-BASED PLANS. The Group has an option plan for key personnel which provides a cash settlement 

if an option is exercised. The fair value of the options is expensed over the period until vesting with 

recognition of a corresponding liability which also includes social security tax where relevant. This 

liability is remeasured at each balance sheet date up to and including the settlement date with changes 

in fair value recognised in the income statement.  

EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE. New information on the Group’s positions at the balance 

sheet date is taken into account in the annual financial statements. Events after the balance sheet date 

that do not affect the position at the balance sheet date, but which will affect the position in the future, 

are stated if significant.  

BORROWING COSTS. Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production 

of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale 

are capitalised as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the 

period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs in connection 

with the borrowing of funds. 

DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. Prosafe uses derivative financial instruments such as forward 

currency contracts and interest rate swaps to hedge its foreign currency risks and interest rate risks 

respectively. Such instruments are initially recognised at fair value on the date on which a derivative 

contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured at fair value. Derivatives are carried as 

financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value is negative. 

Any gains and losses arising from changes in fair value on derivatives during the year that do not qualify 

for hedge accounting and the ineffective portion of an effective hedge, are taken directly to the income 

statement. 

The fair value of forward currency contracts is the discounted difference between the forward exchange 

rate and the contract price. The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is determined by reference to 

market price for similar instruments. 

At the inception of a hedge relationship, Prosafe formally designates and documents the hedge 

relationship to which the Group wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective 

and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes identification of the hedging 

instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the entity 

will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged 

item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
35

effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows, and are assessed on an ongoing 

basis to determine that they actually have been highly effective throughout the financial reporting 

periods for which they were designated.

Prosafe applies hedge accounting only for the interest rate swaps. Hedges which meet the strict criteria 

for hedge accounting are accounted for as follows:

Cash flow hedges 

The effective portion of the gain and loss on the hedging instrument is recognised directly in other 

comprehensive income, while any ineffective portion is recognised immediately in the income statement. 

Amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to the income statement when the 

hedged transaction affects profit and loss, such as when the hedged financial income or financial expense 

is recognised or when a forecast sale occurs. When the hedged item is the cost of a non-financial asset or a 

non-financial liability, the amounts recognised as other comprehensive income are transferred to the 

initial carrying amount of the non-financial assets or liability.

Current versus non-current classification 

Derivative instruments that are not a designated and effective hedging instrument are classified as 

current or non-current or separated into a current and non-current portion based on an assessment 

of the facts and circumstances.

When Prosafe holds a derivative as an economic hedge for a period beyond 12 months after the balance 

sheet date or a derivative instrument is designated as an effective hedging instrument, the fair value of 

the derivative instrument is classified as current or non-current consistent with the classification of the 

underlying item. Economic hedges are not treated as hedging for accounting purposes.

TAXES in the income statement include taxes payable and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax is 

calculated on the basis of temporary differences between book and tax values that exist at the end 

of the period. Deferred tax asset is recognised in the balance sheet when it is likely that the tax benefit 

can be utilised. Deferred tax and deferred tax asset are measured at nominal value. 

Income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected 

to be recovered or paid to the taxation authorities. 

Deferred tax liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the 

liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting 

date. Deferred tax is provided using the liability method. 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax 

assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity 

and the same taxation authority.

 
 
 
36

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent 

that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the 

deferred tax asset to be utilised. Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date 

and are recognised to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the 

deferred tax asset to be recovered.

CASH AND DEPOSITS include cash, bank deposits and other short-term deposits with an original 

maturity of three months or less. 

SHAREHOLDER’S EQUITY. Any difference between the issue price of share capital and the nominal value 

is recognised as share premium. The costs incurred attributable to the issue of share capital are 

deducted from equity. 

OWN SHARES. Own equity instruments which are reacquired are recognised at cost and deducted from 

equity. No gain or loss is recognised in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation 

of the Group’s own equity instruments.

On 7 August 2012, Prosafe entered into an agreement to sell the accommodation jack-up Safe Esbjerg to 
a buyer in South East Asia. Total proceeds amount to USD 55 million and are divided into two tranches. 
In accordance with the agreement an amount of USD 38.5 million was paid on 5 October 2012. 
The remaining USD 16.5 million is paid as a three-year term loan with an interest rate of 10 per 
cent, and was included under ‘other non-current assets’ in the statement of financial position as at 
31 December 2012. The gain on the sale amounted to USD 4.8 million and was recognised as other 
operating revenue in 2012. On 7 October 2013, the remaining loan and interest balance of USD 11.8 

million was repaid early by the buyer.

Share options 
The corporate management and other key employees (in total 14 persons) are included in a synthetic 
share option programme. The outstanding options were granted in 2011. When a synthetic option is 
exercised, the option holder is paid a cash consideration corresponding to the difference between the 
share price at the exercise date adjusted for any dividends paid during the period, and the share price at 
grant. All synthetic options are capped at two times strike price. Net proceeds after tax shall be used to 
purchase shares in the Company at market price. This plan has no dilution effect, since the shares will 
be purchased in the market. The options are valued by using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. 
The right to exercise is subject to the employee being employed during the vesting period.

The right to exercise is subject to the employee being employed during the vesting period.  

Pension and severance pay 
Members of the corporate management have agreements on severance pay. Under these agreements, 
the Company guarantees a remuneration corresponding to the base salary received at the time 
of departure for a period of up to two years after the normal six-month period of notice. With the 
exception of the agreement with the CEO, these agreements specify that benefits received from new 
employers are deducted from the remuneration due, unless the person concerned left as a result of an 
acquisition, sale or merger. The CEO has an agreement on early retirement pension after the age of 60 
and until the age of 67. With full earning of pension entitlement, the annual early retirement pension 
will equal 24 times the Norwegian national insurance base rate.

Tangible fixed assets and goodwill are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, these assets 
are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. The costs of 
upgrades and modification of vessels are capitalised, and each vessel is accounted for as a single asset.  

Borrowing costs are capitalised as part of the asset in accordance with revised IAS 23. As at 31 
December 2013, capitalised borrowing costs amount to USD 8.1 million. 

Estimated useful life for the semi-submersible accommodation/service vessels is 30-45 years. 
Certain equipment on a vessel is depreciated over a shorter period than the life of the vessel itself. 
The estimated scrap value is USD 3 million per vessel.  

The depreciation plan for five of the rigs operating in the Gulf of Mexico was revised with effect from 
1 January 2012. The remaining depreciation period for these five rigs was extended to ten years from 
an average of four years previously. The impact of this change is an estimated annual reduction in 
deprecation of USD 5 million. 

The goodwill of USD 226.7 million relates to the acquisition of Consafe Offshore AB in 2006. Prosafe has 
only one defined cash-generating unit comprising all accommodation/service vessels and the goodwill 
has been allocated to this one. The recoverable amount has been identified by calculating the value in 
use. The calculation is based on the present value of the estimated cash flow. The discount rates applied 
reflect management’s estimate of the risks specific to each unit. The present value of this cash flow 
exceeds the carrying value, and no need for a write-down is indicated.   

The present value of the estimated cash flows from the cash-generating unit, is based on the following 
inputs: 

Revenues 

-  Current contracts portfolio and contract renewals reflecting current market conditions, remaining  
  life of asset, and historical utilisation rates 
-  Annual increase of operating revenues 3% (general sector inflation assumption) 

Expenses 

-  Operating expenses and overheads reflecting current market conditions and historical utilisation  
  rates  
-  Annual increase of operating expenses and overheads 3%  (general sector inflation assumption) 

Capital expenditures 

-  Life extension capex reflecting historical actuals and upgrade capex reflecting long-term capex  
  projections 
-  Annual increase of capital expenditures 3% (general sector inflation assumption) 

Group weighted average cost of capital (WACC) 8%.    

-  Sensitivity: a 1% increase in WACC or a reasonable change in other assumptions would still give a
  present value of the cash flow well in excess of the carrying value.

The cumulated tax loss carried forward in Cyprus as at 31 December 2013 and 2012 amounts to USD 
37.4 million and USD 22.6 million respectively. The tax rate in Cyprus is 12.5% (2012: 10%). No deferred 
tax asset is recognised in respect of this tax loss carried forward. The tax loss for each year may be 
carried forward for five years. 

A material part of taxes in the income statement relates to withholding tax paid on several of the 
Group’s operations. The tax cost may therefore vary independently of profit before taxes. 

The Group’s vessels are subject to taxation based on the special rules for taxation of shipping and 
offshore companies in Singapore. Profit from these charters is not taxable to Singapore, but the 
company pays tax deducted at source in some of the countries in which it operates. The deferred tax 
liability related to the enforced departure of the vessel business from the Norwegian tonnage tax 
system effective 1 January 2006, was initially calculated to NOK 780 million equivalent to USD 115 
million applying the exchange rate prevailing on this date. This liability is paid at a rate of 20 per cent 
annually on the outstanding balance.  

NOTE 13: EARNINGS PER SHARE  

Earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit by the weighted average number of ordinary 
shares outstanding during the year. There are no dilutive share options.

USD 1 100 million credit facility repayment structure 
In August 2011, the company secured a new credit facility. The credit facility has a total availability of 
USD 1.100 million and a maturity of six years. After the sale of the Safe Esbjerg, the availability under the 
credit facility is reduced semi-annually with USD 68 million. As of 31 December 2013, the availability 
under the credit facility totalled USD 791 million (USD 373 million undrawn credit lines). 
The annual interest rate on the credit facility is 1.875 per cent above 3-month LIBOR. 

USD 420 million credit facility repayment structure 
In December 2012, the company secured a new credit facility. The credit facility, which has a maturity 
of five years, consists of two tranches of USD 210 million (USD 420 million in total) that can be drawn 

upon delivery of the two new builds, Safe Boreas and Safe Zephyrus. The availability under each tranche 
is reduced quarterly with USD 4.375 million, starting 3 months after delivery of the tranche security. 
The annual interest rate on the credit facility is 2.950 per cent above 3-month LIBOR.

 1)  Fair value reflects current market conditions with the assumption that the credit margin would  

increase from the actual 187.5 basis points to 200 basis points. The net present value of the interest  

  advantage, discounted with USD 5-year swap rate, is around USD 4 million.  

2,3,4,5) Fair value reflects current market conditions based on prices estimated by the Norwegian  

  Securities Dealers Association as of 31 December 2013: PRS07 102.50, PRS08 103.25, PRS09 102.25,  
  PRS10 100.00. 

The management assessed the cash and deposits, accounts receivables, other current assets, accounts 
payable and other current liabilities to approximate their carrying amounts largely due to the short-
term maturities of these instruments. 

The Group enters into derivative financial instruments with various counterparties, principally financial 
institutions with investments grade credit ratings. Derivatives valued using valuation techniques with 
market observable inputs are mainly interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts. 
The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using 
present value calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of 
counterparties, foreign exchange spot and forward rates, interest rate and forward rate curves. All 
derivative contracts are fully collateralised.

Assets measured at fair value in the balance sheet 

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial 
instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1 -  Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities 
Level 2 -  Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for assets or 

liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) 

Level 3 -  Inputs for assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable  

inputs).   

The FX forwards and interest swaps are valued based on current exchange rates and forward curves.

NOTE 20: FINANCIAL RISKS AND DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS 

Prosafe operates on a global basis with cash flows and financing in various currencies. This means 
that the Group is exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in exchange rates and interest rates. 
Prosafe’s functional currency is USD, and financial risk exposure is managed with financial instruments. 

Currency risk 
Prosafe is exposed to currencies other than USD associated with operating expenditure, capital 
expenditure, debt financing, tax liabilities and cash and deposits. Operating expenses are mainly 
denominated in GBP and NOK, but depending on the country of operation and the nationality of the 
crew, operating expenses can also be in EUR, USD and BRL. Capital expenditure in terms of general 
maintenance will typically be denominated in GBP and NOK. Value enhancing investments, such as 
upgrades and/or refurbishment programmes, will, depending on the origin of equipment and the 
location of the yard, tend to be in USD, GBP and EUR. Debt financing consists of both USD and NOK 
denominated liabilities, while tax liabilities predominantly consist of a NOK denominated deferred 
tax associated with the exit from the Norwegian tonnage tax system effective 1 January 2006. Cash 
and deposits are mainly denominated in USD, GBP, EUR and NOK. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
53

Operating expenditure and maintenance related capital expenditure in other currencies than USD is 
typically currency-hedged using forward contracts with a time horizon of 9-12 months, while planned 
value enhancing capital expenditure is hedged independent of time horizon. Interest payments related 
to debt financing in other currencies than USD are typically treated the same way, with a time horizon 
of 9-12 months, while downpayments are hedged independent of time horizon. Payable tax related to 
the deferred tax liability is also currency-hedged with a time horizon of 9-12 months. Cash and deposits 
in currencies other than USD, function as natural hedges for any GBP, EUR and NOK liabilities. 

As of 31 December 2013, Prosafe had entered into the following forward exchange contracts: 
-  Forward purchase of NOK 2200 million against USD 364 million at a weighted average of 
  NOKUSD 6.05  
-  Forward purchase of GBP 12 million against USD 18 million at a weighted average USDGBP of 1.52 
- Forward purchase of EUR 8 million against USD 11 million at a weighted average USDEUR of 1.33 

Fair value of forward exchange contracts are estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value 
estimates the gain or loss that would have been realised if the contracts had been closed out at the 
balance sheet date. As of 31 December 2013, the fair value and maximum credit risk exposure of 
forward exchange contracts was USD 4.6 million negative. 

Currency risk - sensitivity 
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the relevant exchange rates 
and reflects the main effects on profit or loss and equity assuming that the change had occurred at 
the balance sheet date. A 10% strengthening/weakening of the USD against the NOK will have the 
following effects. Exposures to foreign currency changes for all other currencies are not material.

Interest rate risk 
As of 31 December 2013, Prosafe’s interest-bearing debt totalled USD 779.6 million. Loans secured 
by mortgages (credit facility) accounted for USD 418.0 million of this total and unsecured bond loans 
accounted for USD 361.6 million. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
54

Interest on debt is in principle floating, but has been hedged to reduce the variability of cash flows in 
the interest payments through the use of interest rate swap agreements. Prosafe evaluates the hedge 
profile in relation to the repayment schedule of its loans, the company’s portfolio of contracts, cash 
flow and cash in hand. The proportion hedged will normally lie between 75 and 100 per cent for all loan 
terms. 

Hedge accounting 
The objective of the interest rate hedging is to reduce the variability of cash flows in the interest 
payments for the floating-rate debt (i.e. cash flow hedging). Changes in the cash flows of the interest 
rate swaps are expected to offset the changes in cash flows (i.e. changes in interest payments) 
attributable to fluctuations in the benchmark interest rate on the part of the floating-rate debt that is 
hedged. At the inception of the hedge and in subsequent periods, expected effectiveness during the 
subsequent quarter is demonstrated based on a comparison of the change in fair value of the actual 
swap designated as the hedging instrument and the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap (dollar 
offset). If the terms of the swap and debt differ (notional amount, interest rate reset dates, maturity/
expiration date, underlying index) or the counterparty’s ability to honour its obligation under the swap 
change during the life of the hedge, the measurement of hedge ineffectiveness will be based on a 
comparison of the change in fair value of the actual swap designated as the hedging instrument and 
the change in fair value of a hypothetical swap (dollar offset). Changes in fair value for interest swaps 
treated as effective hedges (hedge accounting) will affect other comprehensive income, while interest 
swaps not treated as effective hedges (not hedge accounting) will affect equity through the income 
statement. During 2013, interest swaps treated as effective hedges have been highly effective, and no 
ineffectiveness has been recognised in the income statement. 

As of 31 December 2013, Prosafe’s hedging agreements totalled USD 1 825 million (including USD 1 200 
million with forward start):

Fair value of interest rate swap agreements are estimated using quoted market prices. The fair value 
estimates the gain or loss that would have been realised if the contracts had been closed out at the 
balance sheet date. As of 31 December 2013, the fair value and maximum credit risk exposure of 
interest rate swap agreements was USD 0.9 million negative.   

Interest rate risk - sensitivity 
The sensitivity analysis is based on a reasonably possible change in the relevant forward curves and 
reflects the main effects on profit or loss and equity assuming that the change had occurred at the 
balance sheet date. A forward curve shift of ±100bps is applied in the analysis.

Credit risk 
The Gulf of Mexico contracts contain a cancellation clause allowing the ultimate customer, Pemex, to 
cancel the agreement with 30 days notice without compensation, if the Mexican authorities annul 
financing of the project. These clauses reflect the crisis that Mexico saw during the 1980s. Prosafe takes 
the view that a cancellation on this basis is only likely if the Mexican economy suffers another deep and 
lengthy crisis. Prosafe does not regard this as a realistic scenario, given the high present and planned 
levels of activity in the Gulf of Mexico, and the importance of oil production to Mexico’s economic 
development. 

In line with industry practice, other contracts normally contain clauses which give the customer 
an opportunity for early cancellation under specified conditions. Providing Prosafe has not acted 
negligently, however, the effect on results in such cases will normally be wholly or partly offset by a 
financial settlement in the company’s favour. Following a potential notice of convenience termination, 
the customer will have to pay Prosafe a substantial part of the remaining contract value.

Credit assessment of yards, sub-contractors and equipment suppliers is part of Prosafe’s project 
evaluations and risk analyses. 

The counterparty risk is in general limited when it comes to Prosafe’s clients, since these are typically 
major oil companies and national oil companies with strong balance sheets and high credit ratings. 

As of 31 December 2013, there is no objective evidence that accounts receivable is impaired, and no 
impairment loss has been recognised in the income statement. 

Liquidity risk 
Under the existing credit facility agreements, the Group is required to maintain a minimum liquidity 
reserve of USD 65 million (including up to USD 25 million of total commitments available for 
utilisation). Prosafe makes active use of a system for planning and forecasting the development of 
its liquidity, and utilises scenario analyses to secure stable and sound development.  

As of 31 December 2013, the Group’s main financial liabilities had the following remaining contractual

Capital management 
The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains a healthy 
capital structure in line with economic conditions. Prosafe manages the total of shareholder’s equity 
and long term debt as their capital. Prosafe’s main tool to assess its capital structure is the leverage 
ratio, which is calculated by dividing total interest-bearing debt (excluding debt related to newbuilds) 
including bank guarantees, by EBITDA over the last 12 months. To stay in compliance with financial 
covenants, the leverage ratio is not allowed to exceed 5.0 up until 23 August 2013, and 4.5 thereafter. 
At 31 December 2013 (2012), the leverage ratio was 1.7 (2.4).

NOTE 24: CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND CAPITAL COMMITMENTS 

On 14 December 2011, Prosafe announced that the company has entered into a turnkey contract for 
the construction of a semi-submersible accommodation vessel at Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. in Singapore. 
The vessel will be ready for operation in 2015, and all-in cost including yard cost, owner-furnished 
equipment, project management and financing is estimated at USD 350 million. 20 per cent of the 
yard cost was paid at signing of the contract and is included within tangible assets (note 9), while the 
remaining 80 per cent will be paid at delivery.  

On 19 November 2012, Prosafe announced that the company has entered into a turnkey contract for 
the construction of a second semi-submersible accommodation vessel at Jurong Shipyard Pte Ltd. in 
Singapore. The vessel will be ready for operation in 2015, and all-in cost including yard cost, owner-
furnished equipment, project management and financing is estimated at USD 350 million. 20 per cent 
of the yard cost was paid at signing of the contract and is included within tangible assets (note 9), while 
the remaining 80 per cent will be paid at delivery. 

On 22 November 2013, Prosafe announced that the company has entered into a turnkey contract for 
the construction of two semi-submersible accommodation vessels with COSCO (Qidong) Offshore Co., 
Ltd. in China. Total value of the contracts is in excess of USD 400 million, and the vessels will be ready for 
operation in 2016. 20 per cent of the yard cost was paid at signing of the contract and is included within 
tangible assets (note 9), while the remaining 80 per cent will be paid at delivery. 

NOTE 25: EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE 

In the 2014 Budget Statement on 19 March 2014, the UK Chancellor announced a new measure for 
taxation of offshore drilling rigs and accommodation vessels operating on the UK continental shelf. 
The new legislation will take effect from 1 April 2014 when passed. It is anticipated that the tax cost 
related to Prosafe’s UK operations will increase as a result of the new measure.
