Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited
Press Release
Restatement of 2004 interim results under International Financial Reporting
Standards
For 2004 and previous years, Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited has prepared its
Group financial statements under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (UK
GAAP). In accordance with EU regulations, the Group is required to adopt
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) from 1 January 2005 and
prepare its Group financial statements on an IFRS basis.
Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited will report under IFRS, for the first time, in
its interim results for the six months to 30 June 2005. The first full year
results to be reported under IFRS will be for the year ended 31 December 2005.
The IFRS results for the 2005 half year and the 2005 full year will include
comparative IFRS information for the relevant corresponding periods in 2004.
The principal adjustments to profit for the six months ended 30 June 2004 and
equity are as follows:

IFRS
10.2 121.2
The principal adjustments to the Group's reported financial information from the
adoption of IFRS are:
Unrealised gains taken to the income statement
Under IFRS there is no distinction between unrealised and realised gains for
financial reporting. As such, all unrealised gains except exchange differences
on translation of foreign operations and gains on available-for-sale investments
will be recorded through the income statement rather than through the UK GAAP
statement of total recognised gains and losses. The major impact is that all
unrealised gains on the investment portfolio are now recorded through the income
statement.
Adjustments to finance leases capitalised
Under UK GAAP assets held under finance leases were depreciated over the lives
of the respective leases which were generally shorter than the equivalent
depreciable lives of owned assets under the Group's normal depreciation policy.
IAS 17 requires the depreciation policy for the Group's depreciable leased
assets to be consistent with that for equivalent owned depreciable assets. The
accounting change has reduced the Group's depreciation charge.
Change in functional currency
As part of the IFRS restatement, the Group's functional currency was re-examined
in accordance with the requirements of IAS 21. IFRS is more prescriptive in its
definition of functional currency than UK GAAP. From 1 January 2004 the
functional currencies of the Group's operations are the local currency with the
exception of the following businesses, all of which are located in Brazil: the
towage division, the ship agency division and Tecon Rio Grande whose functional
currency has changed to US Dollars.
The major impact of the change is that exchange gains or losses on US Dollar
borrowings in US Dollar functional currency businesses no longer arise.
Exchange gains or losses on $Real denominated bank accounts held by businesses
with a US Dollar functional currency will be recorded through the income
statement. Additionally property, plant and equipment, retained earnings and
inventories in US Dollar functional currency businesses are fixed in US Dollars
at historical exchange rates.
Reversal of proposed dividend
Dividends proposed are recognised in the period in which they are formally
approved for payment. Under UK GAAP dividends were recognised in the financial
statements as a liability and an expense if declared before the financial
statements were signed. The change in timing of proposed dividends increases net
assets.
Borrowing costs previously capitalised
As permitted by IAS 23, the Group has chosen not to capitalise directly
attributable finance costs and foreign exchange movements which were previously
capitalised under UK GAAP. The impact of this accounting change decreases the
value of property, plant and equipment and the associated depreciation charge
while increasing finance costs in the income statement.
Other adjustments
Explanations of other adjustments are given in the detailed IFRS Restatement
below.

ADOPTION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
1. INTRODUCTION
The Council of the European Union announced in June 2002 that listed companies
in Europe would be required to adopt International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) for accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005. In line with
this requirement, the Group has adopted IFRS as its accounting basis from the
beginning of 2005. The first full year for which IFRS will be applicable will be
31 December 2005. The Group will therefore prepare comparative IFRS financial
information for the year ended 31 December 2004.
In order to explain how the Group's reported performance and financial position
are affected by this change, the following financial information is provided
below:
- A summary of the most significant adjustments arising from the
adoption of IFRS.
- Basis of preparation of the financial statements under IFRS.
- Significant accounting policies adopted under IFRS.
- Consolidated IFRS balance sheet as at 1 January 2004 and
reconciliation of net equity from UK GAAP to IFRS.
- Consolidated financial information (income statement, balance sheet,
cash flow statement and statement of changes in equity) for the six months ended
30 June 2004 and reconciliations of profit for the year and equity from UK GAAP
to IFRS.
2. IMPACT OF IFRS ON GROUP RESULTS
The main impacts on the Group's financial statements of the move to IFRS are:
Presentational impacts:
- IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures
The Groups share of joint venture entities are consolidated on a line by line
basis in the Group's financial statements. Under UK GAAP joint ventures were
accounted for on a gross equity basis.
- IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements & IAS 39 Financial
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
Under IFRS there is no distinction between unrealised and realised gains for
financial reporting. As such, all unrealised gains except exchange differences
on translation of foreign operations and gains on available-for-sale investments
will be recorded through the income statement rather than through the UK GAAP
statement of total recognised gains and losses.
- IAS 28 Investment in associates
Share of profit from associates is reported on a single line in the consolidated
income statement. Previously under UK GAAP, the Group's share of operating
profits in associates was shown separately on the face of the income statement
with interest, exchange gains on loans and tax included within their respective
headings in the income statement.
- IAS 21 Exchange gains/losses on foreign currency borrowings
Exchange gains/losses on foreign currency borrowings are now included in finance
costs. Previously under UK GAAP exchange gains/losses on foreign currency
borrowings were shown separately on the face of the income statement.
Exchange gains and losses on monetary assets are now recorded in investment
revenues. Previously these were included in other operating expenses.
Accounting impacts:
- IAS 21 Change of functional currency
As part of the IFRS restatement, the Group's functional currency was re-examined
in accordance with the requirements of IAS 21. IFRS is more prescriptive in its
definition of functional currency than UK GAAP. From 1 January 2004 the
functional currencies of the Group's operations are the local currency with the
exception of the following businesses, all of which are located in Brazil: the
towage division, the ship agency division and Tecon Rio Grande whose functional
currency has changed to US Dollars.
The major impact of the change is that exchange gains or losses on US Dollar
borrowings in US Dollar functional currency businesses no longer arise. Exchange
gains or losses on $Real denominated bank accounts held by businesses with a US
Dollar functional currency will be recorded through the income statement.
Additionally property, plant and equipment, retained earnings and inventories in
US Dollar functional currency businesses are fixed in US Dollars at historical
exchange rates.

- IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures

- IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement
In accordance with IAS 39 the Group's investment portfolio has been designated
as fair value through profit or loss ('FVTPL'). As a result all gains and losses
on the investment portfolio are recognised through the income statement. Under
UK GAAP, current year realised gains were included in the profit and loss
account and unrealised gains were recognised in the statement of total
recognised gains and losses. These unrealised gains were recognised in the
revaluation reserve until the corresponding asset was sold, at which point the
historical gain was transferred to the profit and loss account. The Group has
not availed itself of the IAS 32/39 optional exemption available under IFRS 1
and accordingly IAS 32/39 have been applied retrospectively. This has also
resulted in the reclassification of the revaluation reserve to retained
earnings.
Under UK GAAP the Group's investment in Barcas was held at cost less any
provision for impairment. Under IAS 39, the investment is classified as
available-for-sale and therefore is held at fair value with changes in fair
value recognised in an investment revaluation reserve. When the investment is
disposed of or if it is determined to be impaired, the cumulative gain or loss
previously recognised in the investment revaluation reserve is included in the
income statement for the period.

IAS 17 - Leases
Under UK GAAP assets held under finance leases were depreciated over the lives
of the respective leases which were generally shorter than the equivalent
depreciable lives of owned assets under the Group's normal depreciation policy.
IAS 17 requires the depreciation policy for the Group's depreciable leased
assets to be consistent with that for equivalent owned depreciable assets. The
accounting change has reduced the Group's depreciation charge.

IAS 23 - Borrowing costs
As permitted by IAS 23, the Group has chosen not to capitalise directly
attributable finance costs and foreign exchange movements which were previously
capitalised under UK GAAP. The impact of this accounting change decreases the
value of property, plant and equipment and the associated depreciation charge
while increasing finance costs in the income statement.

IAS 16 - Property, plant & equipment
Under IFRS dry docking costs are capitalised as overhaul expenditure and
depreciated over the period in which the related economic benefits are received.
The impact on the balance sheet is an increase in the book value of property,
plant and equipment. The effect on the income statement is to increase
depreciation and reduce other external charges.

statements as a liability and an expense if declared before the financial
statements were signed. The change in timing of proposed dividends increases net
assets.

IAS 39 - Fair value of available for sale investment
Under IAS 39 the investment is classified as 'available-for-sale'. The
investment has therefore been measured at fair value with changes in fair value
recognised in equity.
This is then recycled into the income statement on sale or impairment of the
asset at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity
is recognised in profit or loss for the period.

3. BASIS OF PREPARATION
For the year ended 31 December 2005 the Company will be required to prepare
consolidated financial statements under International Financial Reporting
Standards as adopted by the European Commission. These will be those
International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards
('IFRS') and related Interpretations (SIC-IFRIC interpretations), subsequent
amendments to those standards and related interpretations, future standards and
related interpretations issued or adopted by the International Accounting
Standards Board (IASB) that have been endorsed by the European Commission. This
process is ongoing and the Commission has yet to endorse certain standards
issued by the IASB. In particular the Commission:
• endorsed a version of IAS 39 Financial instruments -
recognition and measurement that differed from that issued by the IASB in two
respects (the so-called 'carve-out'):
• the endorsed version of IAS 39 removes the option in the
IASB version to fair value certain financial liabilities; and
• the endorsed version of IAS 39 widens the range of
circumstances in which hedge accounting may be applied. The company has not
taken advantage of these provisions and therefore will comply with both versions
of IAS 39;.
• have not given a final approval to IAS 39 amendments
relating to the Fair Value Option however the Accounting Regulatory Committee
(ARC) has recommended endorsement.
The preliminary opening balance sheet as at 1 January 2004, IFRS comparatives
for 2004 and the GAAP reconciliation between UK and IFRS have been prepared by
management using its best knowledge of the expected standards and
interpretations of the IASB, facts and circumstances, and accounting policies
that will be applied when the Company prepares its first complete set of IFRS
financial statements as at 31 December 2005. It is thus possible that the
accompanying preliminary opening balance sheet may require adjustment before
constituting the final opening balance sheet. Moreover, under IFRSs, only a
complete set of financial statements comprising a balance sheet, income
statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement, together with
comparative financial information and explanatory notes, can provide a fair
presentation of the Group's financial position, results of operations and cash
flow.
IFRS 1 - First time adoption choices
The Group's transition date to IFRS is 1 January 2004. In preparing the 2004
IFRS financial information the Group has applied the rules for first time
adoption as set out in IFRS 1 'First time adoption of International Financial
Reporting Standards'.
IFRS 1 generally requires full retrospective application of IFRSs at the first
reporting date. However IFRS 1 allows certain exemptions in the application of
certain standards to prior periods. The Group has made the following first-time
adoption choices:
- IFRS 3 - business combinations prior to 1 January 2004 have not been
restated.
- Cumulative translation differences - the Group has deemed cumulative
translation differences for foreign operations to be zero at the date of
transition. Any gains or losses on subsequent disposals of foreign operations
will not therefore include translation differences arising prior to the
transition date.
UK GAAP financial information
The formats of the balance sheet, income statement and cashflow statement have
been modified to align them with the IFRS formats to simplify presentation of
the adjustments required to arrive at the IFRS figures.
4. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ADOPTED UNDER IFRS
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except
for the revaluation of certain properties and financial instruments. The
principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of
the Company and entities controlled by the Company. Control is achieved where
the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an
entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included
in the consolidated income statement 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.
Minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified
separately from the Group's equity therein. Minority interests consist of the
amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and
the minority's share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
Currency translation
The functional currency for each Group entity is determined as the currency of
the primary economic environment in which it operates. Transactions other than
those in the functional currency of the entity are translated at the exchange
rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at year end exchange rates.
On consolidation, the Group's foreign entities' income statement items 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 Dollar are classified as equity and are
recognised in the Group's translation reserve.
Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has 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, from 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.
Interests in joint ventures
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties
undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control, that is when
the strategic financial and operating policy decisions relating to the
activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
Where a Group entity undertakes its activities under joint venture arrangements
directly, the Group's share of jointly controlled 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.
Joint venture arrangements that involve the establishment of a separate entity
in which each venturer has an interest are referred to as jointly controlled
entities. The Group reports its interests in jointly controlled entities using
proportionate consolidation. The Group's share of the assets, liabilities,
income and expenses of jointly controlled entities are combined with the
equivalent items in the consolidated financial statements on a line-by-line
basis.
Where the Group transacts with its jointly controlled entities, unrealised
profits and losses are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interests in the
joint venture.
Retirement benefit costs
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are charged as an
expense as they fall due. Payments made to state-managed retirement benefit
schemes are dealt with as payments to defined contribution plans where the
Group's obligations under the plans are equivalent to those arising in a defined
contribution retirement benefit plan.
Taxation
Tax expense for the period comprises current tax and deferred tax.
Current tax is based on taxable 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;
• 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 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 income statement, except
when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case
the deferred tax is also taken directly to equity.
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 Buildings: Period of the lease
Floating Craft: 20 years
Vehicles: 5 years
Plant & Equipment: 10 to 20 years
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over their expected useful
lives on the same basis as owned assets.
Overhaul costs are capitalised and depreciated over the period in which the
economic benefits are received.
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 income statement.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and
are tested at least annually for impairment. 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.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost
comprises direct materials 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 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. 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
profit or loss for the period.
• 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 at 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 to the income statement using 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.
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.
Construction contracts
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 balance sheet date. This is normally measured by the proportion
that contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated
total contract costs, except where this would not be representative of the stage
of completion. Variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments are
included to the extent that they have been agreed with the customer.
Where the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably,
contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it
is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in
the period in which they are incurred.
When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract
revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.
Share-based payments
The Group operates a cash settled long-term incentive plan. A liability equal
to the portion of the services received is recognised at the current fair value
determined at each balance sheet date. Any increase or decrease in the
liability is recognised in the income statement.
Revenue
Revenue represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the
normal course of business net of trade discounts, VAT and other sales related
taxes. If the Group is acting solely as an agent, amounts billed to customers
are offset against relevant costs.
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 finance 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 he
minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in
the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Finance charges are charged to
the income statement.
