WGP Operations
• Multi-client contract with TGS commenced May 2014 to jointly acquire and own multi-client high resolution 3D (HR3D) seismic data using the newly assembled P-Cable system and mini-PMSSTM. An initial R&D survey was undertaken on behalf of Lundin Petroleum followed by the survey on 10 blocks (approximately 500km2) in the Barents Sea as a pre-cursor to the Norwegian 23rd Licensing Round which is due to be announced in Q4 2014. It is anticipated that the HR3D data sets will prove invaluable to oil company clients in being able to assess the hydrocarbon potential within the licence blocks. The programme, which has to date been pre-funded by advanced non-exclusive data sales to two oil majors, is likely to be extended by a further 200-300km2 in the second half of 2014.
• Contract with SAExploration, Inc. ("SAE") on behalf of BP Alaska to provide shallow water source handling and deployment services for seismic acquisition projects in the North Prudhoe Bay, Alaska concluded August 2014. Conditions were extremely challenging from an environmental and logistical perspective which extented the boundaries of WGP's experience and capabilities. This has been followed by a further survey on behalf of SAE on the North Slope following which, the operation is expected to relocate elsewhere in Alaska until the end of the operating season.
• Continuation of the service contract with Statoil with mobilisation of the DPMSSTM for the Spring survey over the Snorre field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
• Completion of LoFS 17 survey for BP over the Valhall field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
Autonomous Robotics Operations
• Business acquisition completed November 2013
• A change of name from GO Science to Autonomous Robotics Limited ("ARL") reflecting the market sector and expertise/ambitions of the company
• Implementation of detailed design and manufacture plan of the mobile sensor grid system, now at the latter part of the overall system concept stage
• Stakeholder requirements, concept of operations plans and risk assessment under review with QinetiQ plc and seismic industry experts in UK and USA
• Ongoing discussions with a number of suppliers/potential partners regarding the next stage - system definition and design
Chairman's Statement
Overview
I am pleased to report the Group's interim results for the six months to 30 June 2014.
The Group has made excellent progress on its core seismic activities from the solid foundations laid in 2013 with the addition of two new service contracts in 1H 2014 with SAExploration, Inc. and the TGS Multi-Client contract.
Improved profitability from seismic operations reflect the Group's focus on increasing both equipment utilisation and higher pricing.
The Group has increased investment in Operating Equipment, IT (a new ERP system), People and R&D:
• Equipment: Refurbishment and upgrade of existing equipment, purchase of new equipment including a mini-PMSSTM and high resolution 3D P-Cable system deployed on the multi-client project in the first half. A total of US$5.7m has been invested in operating assets in the first half of 2014
• IT: US$0.3m investment in new ERP system
• People: expansion of middle management both on and offshore to support business growth
• R&D: continued investment in next generation technology at ARL. Stakeholder requirements, concept of operations plan and risk assessment currently under review with QinetiQ plc and seismic industry experts
Outlook
• Since the end of the 1H 2014, the Group has completed 2 additional seismic surveys for Statoil as part of R&D trials to test third party sensors
• In September 2014 the D-PMSSTM was deployed over Grane. The first survey is scheduled to run for three weeks, subject to weather, following which the D-PMSSTM will be deployed for a further 4 weeks over the Snorre field, subject to weather
• Anticipated extension to Multi-Client survey in the Barents Sea by a further 200-300km2
• Completion of the SAE project in the North Prudhoe Bay, Alaska
• Contracted deployment in 2H 2014 on behalf of Russia's SMG is considered to be increasingly unlikely
• Pipeline of order-enquiry and tenders submitted increased to US$175m, an increase of 23% over US$142m at 31 December 2013. Several of these tenders expected to impact 2H 2014.
The Group's ability to convert some of this pipeline into 2014 Revenue has been jeopardised by the increased US/EU sanctions against Russia. Further, on 2 September 2014, the Russian State owned parent of Joint Stock Company Sevmorgeo ("SMG") implemented a top-level management change and announced the appointment of Andrew Zayonchek as its new CEO.
As a result, some US$10m of budgeted Russian revenue in 2H 2014 is unlikely to materialise in this period. We will not know whether the Ecuador project will be resurrected in 2014 or further work in the Arctic will resume in 2015 until we have met with new management at SMG and the impact of any further sanctions becomes clear.
In addition, under the terms of our contract, SMG is responsible for the demobilisation and repatriation of the Company's equipment, which is currently in storage in Ecuador. However, in a worst case scenario we may not recover the outstanding trade receivable or the repatriation costs which, in the aggregate, amount to approximately US$4.1m (a non-cash item of US$3.3m being the outstanding trade receivable, and a cash item of US$0.8m relating to repatriation costs).
WGP has a long history of working for the Russian Government and with Russian companies worldwide. I am confident that the current situation will blow over, however, I am less confident in predicting how long the current tensions will last.
We have approached the CEO of Rosgeo (SMG's parent company) to arrange an immediate meeting and look forward to the continuation of a 15 year mutually beneficial relationship.
On a positive note, both of the two Oil Majors who have invested in the Multi-Client High-Resolution project in the Barents Sea and our Operating Partner are impressed with the initial data results and we remain confident in securing additional revenue in 2H 2014 from Data Sales.
If, as we anticipate, final results in the Barents Sea are as successful as we hope, we believe that current on-going discussions regarding the deployment of the P-Cable and mini-PMSSTM system beyond the EU should also materialise.
Therefore, the final outcome for the year is heavily dependent on the scale of data sales, pipeline conversion and any SMG deployment.
Notwithstanding the current political situation, we continue to believe that the Group, with its strong position in niche markets, is very well placed to create significant shareholder value over the next few years.
Financial Review
Group results for the six months to 30 June 2014 showed an increase of 31% in revenue from core Seismic Operations to US$9.3m from US$7.1m in 1H 2013. 1H 2014 Revenue from Seismic Operations has been generated from the completion of the LoFS 17 survey on the Valhall field for BP, the survey over the Snorre field for Statoil, the commencement of the two new projects for SAExploration in Alaska and the Multi-Client project with TGS in the Barents Sea.
Manufacturing Revenue was US$0.0m versus US$4.5m in the comparative period, resulting in total Group Revenue of US$9.3m versus US$11.6m in 1H 2013. Manufacturing Revenue of US$4.5m in 1H 2013 reflected the non-recurring revenue recognised in relation to the manufacture and sale of equipment to Statoil.
Cost of Sales in relation to Seismic Operations increased by 13.0% in 1H 2014 to US$5.2m (1H 2013: US$4.6m) resulting in gross profit of US$4.0m, an increase of 53.8% versus the same period last year of US$2.6m. Total Group Gross Profit was US$4.0m compared to US$3.9m in 1H 2013 (including non-recurring manufacturing revenue and associated costs).
Gross margin in the first six months of 2014 has increased by 30.4% to 43.7% from 33.5% in 1H 2013. The increase in margin representing change in revenue mix and improved equipment utilisation and increased pricing on seismic activities.
Administrative expenses increased by 21.7% in 1H 2014 to US$2.8m (1H 2013: US$2.3m), largely due to investment in R&D related costs of ARL which has contributed costs of US$0.4m in the period as compared to US$0.0m in 1H 2014, and investment in personnel from the hiring of new staff.
Operating Profit from Seismic activity increased by 50.0% in 1H 2014 to US$1.2m (1H 2013: US$0.8m) reflecting an increase in Revenue and improved margins in the period with operating margin increasing by 10.1% to 13.1% from 11.9% in the prior period. The Group's total Operating profit of US$0.7m versus US$1.3m in 1H 2013 includes R&D costs at ARL that generated an operating loss of US$0.5m in the period (1H 2013: US$0.0m).
Depreciation and Amortisation of US$0.5m (1H 2013: US$0.3m) reflects depreciation on the Group's equipment of US$0.4m (1H 2013: US$0.3m), the increase reflecting depreciation on additions purchased during the period, and amortisation of US$0.1m on the intellectual property in ARL (1H 2013: US$0.0m).
Net financial income of US$0.2m included foreign exchange gains in the period partially offset by interest and share option charges (1H 2013: US$0.1m).
Group profit before tax, incorporating the R&D related costs of ARL of US$0.5m, was US$0.9m versus US$1.4m in 1H 2013.
Tax in the period of US$0.2m is an estimate of the tax liability incurred in the first half from the Group's operations across its different regions of activity.
Net profit on Seismic Operations increased by 140% to US$1.2m versus US$0.5m in 1H 2013 with an increase in net margin of 74.7% to 13.1% from 7.5% in the comparative period.
Group net profit, incorporating the R&D related costs of ARL, was US$0.7m versus US$1.0m in 1H 2013.
Net assets at 30 June 2014 amounted to US$52.4m (1H13: US$19.1m) resulting in net assets per share of US$2.09 (£1.23), an increase of 80.2% versus US$1.16 (£0.76) in 1H 2013.
The Company had debt of US$0.0m at the period end (1H 2013: US$0.0m).
Net cash flow from operating activities amounted to US$(0.2)m largely as a result of the increase in trade receivables balance of US$4.2m at the period end from activity in the first half of which US$4.1m has subsequently been received. This excludes balances due from SMG from 2013.
Net cash outflow from investing activities, excluding loans to the THAL Discretionary Trust, amounted to US$(5.9)m largely due to:
• capital expenditure of US$5.7m that includes the refurbishment and upgrade of existing equipment, and the purchase of new equipment including a mini-PMSSTM and high resoulution 3D P-Cable system deployed on the multi-client project in the Barents Sea.
• capital expenditure of US$0.3m on a new ERP system and implementation.
During the period further loans were made to the THAL Discretionary trust of US$4.9m.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Information
1. General information
Thalassa Holdings Ltd (the "Company") is a British Virgin Island ("BVI") International business company ("IBC"), incorporated and registered in the BVI on 26 September 2007. The Company was established as a holding company, and currently has two operating subsidiaries, WGP Group Ltd ("WGP") and GO Science Group Ltd ("GO")(together with Thalassa Holdings Ltd, the "Group").
WGP Group Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Thalassa which owns the seismic operating assets of the Thalassa Group and whose subsidiaries are:
• WGP Energy Services Ltd ("WESL")
• WGP Exploration Ltd ("WGPE")
• WGP Technical Services Ltd ("WGPT")
• WGP Professional Services Ltd ("WGPP")
• WGP Survey Ltd ("WGPS")
GO Science Group Ltd is a wholly owned subsidiary of Thalassa and is an AUV research and development company with one subsidiary:
• Autonomous Robotics Limited (formally GO Science 2013 Ltd)
The Group's interest in each of the subsidiaries is 100%, other than WGPS, where it owns 50%.
The Company also has a newly incorporated subsidiary, WGP Geosolutions Limited which has an additional subsidiary, WGP Group GmbH, both currently non-operational.
2. Significant Accounting policies
The Group prepares its accounts in accordance with applicable International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU.
The accounting policies applied by the Company in this unaudited consolidated interim financial information are the same as those applied by the Company in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the period ended 31 December 2013 except for the following which are new for this period:
Revenue Recognition
Multi Client Library
Pre-funded revenues from underwritten programmes are recognised as the seismic data is acquired. Where the Group has finished data sets ready for sale, revenue is recognised at the time of the transaction when the customer executes a valid license agreement and has the right to access the licensed portion of the Multi Client library.
Intangible Assets
Multi Client Library
The Multi-Client library comprises completed surveys and surveys in progress that can be licensed to multiple customers. All direct costs related to data collection, processing and completion of seismic surveys are capitalised. The Multi-Client library is capitalised at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The Company has a minimum amortisation policy whereby the carrying amount one year after completion of a survey is no more than 60% of cost. This maximum level is reduced on a straight-line basis by 20% points for each of the three subsequent years.
Estimated revenues are reviewed continuously and these may change to reflect market conditions. The amortisation expense of the Multi-Client library may fluctuate and be accelerated according to the level of revenue and revisions to estimated remaining revenues. Where amortisation expense is accelerated it is calculated as the proportion of the total cost of a survey calculated according to the proportion of cumulative revenues for the survey to the estimated total revenue for the survey. The costs of a survey are completely amortised when the estimated revenue has been reached.
2.1. Basis of preparation
