million in the previous quarter.

NOK 500 million senior unsecured bond with maturity date in March 2018. The
proceeds from this loan will be used for general corporate purposes.
Net cash inflow from operating activities was USD 46.2 million compared to USD
57.0 million in the previous quarter. Net cash outflow from investing activities

financing activities was USD 26.5 million compared to cash outflow of USD 1.8
million in the previous quarter.
OPERATIONS AND PROJECTS
BW Offshore`s fleet consists of 14 FPSOs and one FSO. All experienced stable
performance with an average uptime of 98.2% during the first quarter.
BW Offshore has from 1 January 2013 taken over the operation of FPSO Peregrino
after a planned transition period of six months. The unit is owned by Statoil
and Sinochem, and is operating on the Peregrino oil field offshore Brazil.
BW Offshore has agreed an extension for FPSO Abo with Nigerian Agip Exploration
Ltd of nine months and an extension for FPSO Sendje Berge with Addax Petroleum
Exploration Ltd of three months. These extensions have been agreed to secure
operational continuity while joint work to detail longer term programs for
investment and production is progressing.
The Papa Terra (P-63) EPC project arrived in January 2013 in QUIP`s Rio Grande
yard in Brazil for final testing and commisioning. The FPSO is then expected to
be installed on the field and commence operation. All efforts are being made by
BW Offshore and its Brazilian partner, QUIP, to meet the overall project
schedule requirements from Petrobras for a July 2013 start-up.
OUTLOOK
The outlook for the energy market in general and FPSO business in particular
remains good. Based on BW Offshore's products offering, geographical presence,
scale and competence, the Company is well positioned to grow its core business.
BW Offshore's cash flow from the operating units is secure and based on long
term contracts with national and independent oil companies. The fleet of BW
Offshore will continue to generate an increasing cash flow in the time ahead
providing a sound basis for dividend payments as well as for further investments
in new assets.
BW Offshore is currently evaluating several projects likely to meet the
Company's financial targets. This includes both contract extensions for existing
units, as well as contracts for new units and operations. BW Offshore expects to
grow selectively and intends to see an improvement in the risk and reward
balance for new FPSO projects. The company will carry on with the efforts to
improve safety, efficiency, planning, disciplined execution and financial
control.
The Board has declared a cash dividend of USD 0.02 per share for the quarter.
