ARROW SEISMIC ASA – INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING<br />

Convertible bonds that contain both a liability and equity element are divided into two components upon<br />

issuance based on the net present value of the bond’s cash flow, and each of these elements is accounted for<br />

separately as a liability and equity, respectively.<br />

Company’s own shares<br />

The nominal value of the company’s own shares is presented in the balance sheet as a negative equity element.<br />

The purchase price in excess of the nominal value is recognised in other equity. Losses or gains on transactions<br />

with the company’s own shares are not recorded in the profit and loss statement.<br />

Equity transaction costs<br />

Transaction costs related to equity transactions are recognised directly against equity after the deduction of tax<br />

expenses. Only transaction costs directly related to the equity transaction are recorded directly against equity.<br />

Other equity<br />

Foreign currency differences<br />

Foreign currency differences arise in connection with translation of foreign currency transactions in the<br />

consolidation of foreign entities. Foreign currency differences with respect to monetary items (liabilities or<br />

receivables) that are in reality part of the company’s net investment in a foreign unit are treated as foreign<br />

currency differences. Upon the disposal of a foreign unit the accumulated foreign currency differences related to<br />

that entity are reversed and recorded in the profit and loss statement in the same period that the gain or loss on<br />

the disposal is recorded.<br />

8.3.13 Principles for recognition of revenue and expenses<br />

Revenue is recognised when it is probable that the transaction will generate future economic benefits that will<br />

accrue to the company and the value of such benefits can be estimated reliably. Sales revenues are recorded less<br />

value added tax and discounts. Income and expenses related to the vessels’ journeys are accrued based on the<br />

number of days the journey lasts before and after the end of the year.<br />

Dividend income<br />

Dividend income is recognised on an accrual basis in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements.<br />

8.3.14 Loans<br />

Borrowing expenses are recognised in the profit and loss statement when the borrowing expenses arise.<br />

Borrowing expenses are capitalised if they are directly related to the purchase, construction or production of a<br />

fixed asset. The capitalisation of borrowing expenses occurs when interest expenses are incurred during the<br />

construction of the fixed asset. Borrowing expenses are capitalised until the point in time when the fixed asset is<br />

placed into service. If the cost price exceeds the fair value of the fixed asset, an impairment loss is recognised.<br />

Loans are recorded as the proceeds that are received, net of any transaction costs. Loans are subsequently<br />

accounted for at the amortised cost through application of the effective interest rate, where the difference<br />

between the net proceeds and redemption value are recognised in the profit and loss statement over the term of<br />

the loan.<br />

8.3.15 Public grants<br />

The Group presents is government grants according to IAS 20; Government Grants. Government grants are<br />

recognised when there is reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and all attaching conditions will be<br />

complied with. When the grant relates to an expense item, it is recognised as income over the period necessary to<br />

match the grant on a systematic basis to the costs that it is intended to compensate.<br />

The Group receive grants from Reimbursement system for Seamen for some ships due to secure employment of<br />

Norwegian seamen. The grant is recognised as reduction in crew expenses.<br />

8.3.16 Taxes<br />

Taxes consist of the tax payable and change in deferred tax. Deferred tax liabilities/assets are calculated based on<br />

all the differences between the financial and tax values of assets and liabilities, with the exception of:<br />

• deferred tax that arises as a result of goodwill depreciation that is not tax deductible<br />
