Farstad Shipping ASA: Acquisition of BOS Navegação S.A.
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
In press release of 18 July 2011 we informed that Farstad Shipping ASA, on
certain conditions, had reached an agreement with Petroserv S.A. in Brazil to
buy Petroserv's 50% share in BOS Navegação S.A.
The formal aspects of the financial transaction are now set, and payment for the
shares has taken place. The acquisition will be consolidated in Farstad
Shipping's accounts as from 1 July 2011.
Prior to the acquisition we have treated our 50% share as a joint controlled
operation in the accounts. This implies that our existing shares will also be
adjusted in the accounts according to the values used in the acquisition of the
remaining shares. This revaluation will be incorporated in the profit and loss
accounts for the 3(rd) Quarter and implies an income of NOK 105.4 million. NOK
70.4 million of the amount will be booked as profit "by gradual acquisition",
while the remaining NOK 35.0 million will be booked as a reduction of deferred
tax.
Further, the acquisition will result in a revaluation of NOK 89.0 million in the
account of the 3 vessels owned by BOS, a goodwill of NOK 88.4 million and an
allocation to deferred tax of NOK 30.3 million. The equity capital will increase
by NOK 49.4 million.
The acquisition will improve Farstad Shipping's position for further growth in
the Brazilian market. BOS was established in June 1999 as a joint venture
between Farstad Shipping and Petroserv. Today the company owns 3 AHTS, all on
contracts to Petrobras. In addition BOS operates 11 Farstad vessels in Brazil.
BOS' offices in Rio de Janeiro and Macaé employ 39 people onshore and 336 people
offshore.
