ARROW SEISMIC ASA – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING<br />

The group capitalises expenses incurred at docking of the group’s vessels and amortises these expenses over the<br />

period until the next docking (the “capitalisation method”).<br />

Vessels under construction are classified as fixed assets and are recorded at the value of the incurred expenses<br />

related to the fixed asset. Vessels under construction are not depreciated until the vessel is placed in service.<br />

8.3.8 Leases<br />

Group as a lessee:<br />

Financial leases<br />

The Group presents its financial leases in the financial statements in accordance with IAS 17; Leases. Financial<br />

leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased<br />

item, are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the leased property or, if lower, at the present<br />

value of the minimum lease payments.<br />

Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant rate on the<br />

finance balance outstanding. The corresponding rental obligations, net of finance charges, are included in other<br />

short-term and other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is charged to the income<br />

statement over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of<br />

the liability for each period.<br />

The capitalised assets acquired under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset<br />

and the lease term, if there is no reasonable certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease<br />

term.<br />

Operational leases<br />

Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are<br />

classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the<br />

carrying amount of the leased assets and recognised over the lease term on the same basis as rental income.<br />

Contingent rents are recognised as revenue in the period in which they are earned.<br />

Group as a lessor:<br />

Financial leases<br />

The Group presents assets it has leased to others as receivables equal to the net investment in the leases. The<br />

Group’s financial income is determined such that the same rate of return is achieved on outstanding receivables.<br />

Initial costs incurred in connection with establishing the lease are included in the receivable.<br />

Operational leases<br />

The Group presents assets it has leased to others as non-current assets in the balance sheet. The rental amount is<br />

taken to revenue in a straight line over the lease period. Initial direct costs incurred in establishing the lease<br />

relationship are included in the carrying amount of the leased asset, on the same basis as the rental amount.<br />

8.3.9 Financial instruments<br />

According IAS 39, Financial instruments: Recognition and measurement, financial instruments are classified in<br />

the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, held to maturity investments, loans and receivables<br />

and available-for-sale.<br />

The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines<br />

the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. At initial recognition of financial instruments the<br />

Group capitalise a financial instrument when and only when they has become a part of the instrument’s<br />

arrangement. When financial instruments are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, plus, in case of<br />

investments not at fair value through profit and loss, directly attributable transaction or emission costs.<br />

All purchases and sales of financial instruments are recognised on the transaction date.<br />

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss<br />

Financial instruments that are held with the intention of making a gain on short-term fluctuations in prices,<br />

financially motivated investments in obligations and other securities which enters into a trade portfolio or<br />

derivatives which are not classified as hedge instruments or is a financial guarantee contract, are classified as<br />
