Note 2 – Summary of significant accounting policies<br />

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these<br />

consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have<br />

been consistently applied to all the years presented.<br />

2.1 Basis of preparation<br />

The consolidated financial statements of Marine Subsea AS have been<br />

prepared in accordance with International Financial <strong>Report</strong>ing Standards<br />

as adopted by EU. The consolidated financial statements have been<br />

prepared under the historical cost convention, except certain financial<br />

assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) that are<br />

recogniced at fair value.<br />

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires<br />

the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management<br />

to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the group’s<br />

accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or<br />

complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to<br />

the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in note 4.<br />

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the<br />

previous financial year except as follows:<br />

The Group has adopted the following new and amended IFRS and IFRIC<br />

interpretations as of 1 January 2009:<br />

• Amendments to IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial<br />

<strong>Report</strong>ing Standards and lAS 27<br />

• Consolidated and Separate Financial statements (effective from<br />

1 January 2009). The amendments to IFRS 1 allows an entity to<br />

determine the ‘cost’ of investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled<br />

entities or associates in its opening IFRS financial statements in<br />

accordance with lAS 27 or using a deemed cost. The amendment<br />

to lAS 27 requires all dividends from a subsidiary, jointly controlled<br />

entity or associate to be recognised in the income statement in the<br />

separate financial statement. The revision to lAS 27 will have to be<br />

applied prospectively. The new requirements affect only the parent’s<br />

separate financial statement and do not have an impact on the<br />

consolidated financial statements<br />

• IAS 1; Presentation of financial statement, revised (effective from<br />

1 January 2009). Key changes regarding this revised standard are the<br />

following; Changes in equity arising from transactions with owners<br />

( such as dividends and shares repurchases) and the related tax<br />

impact are presented in the statement of changes in equity; ‘Nonowner’<br />

changes in equity and the related tax impact are presented<br />

in comprehensive income; Comprehensive income is presented in<br />

either a single statement or in two statements (an income statement<br />

and a statement of comprehensive income); Dividends and per share<br />

amounts are presented in the statement of changes in equity or in<br />

the notes; A statement of financial position (balance sheet) at the beginning<br />

of the corresponding period is presented where restatements<br />

have occurred; and Reclassification adjustments (recycling) and the<br />

related income tax are disclosed in the comprehensive income. The<br />

Group has deciced to present one single statement.<br />

• IFRS 8, ‘Operating segments ‘ (effective from 1 January 2009). IFRS 8<br />

replaces IAS 14 and aligns segment reporting with the requirements of<br />

the US standard SFAS 131, ‘Disclosures about segments of an enterprise<br />

and related information’. The new standard requires a ‘management<br />

approach’, under which segment information is presented on the same<br />

basis as that used for internal reporting purposes. The Group has a non<br />

complex structure of different busienss activities. The more complex the<br />

group structure , the more likely it is that the segments identified will not<br />

be the same as those identifeied when applying IAS 14.<br />

(a) Interpretation early adopted by the group<br />

No standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards<br />

have been early adopted by the Group.<br />

(b) Standards, amendments and interpretations to existing<br />

standards that are not yet effective and have not been early<br />

adopted by the group<br />

The following standards, amendments and interpretations to existing<br />

standards have been published and are mandatory for the group’s<br />

accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2010 or later<br />

periods, but the group has not early adopted them:<br />

• IFRS 3R Business Combinations and lAS 27R Consolidated and<br />

Separate Financial Statements (effective from 1 July 2009).<br />

IFRS 3R introduces a number of changes in the accounting for<br />

business combinations occurring after this date that will impact the<br />
