// CEO’S STATEMENTODDBJØRN KOPPERSTAD, CEO

PASSIONATE PARTNERAccording to Statistisk sentralbyrås (SSB), the outlook for investments on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) will increase from 153 MNOK in 2011 to 185 MNOK in 2012. According to NPD the combined production of oil and gas from NCS will remain at the current level for the next decade. There is identified approximately 80 new field development projects at NCS for the period 2010-2018. This includes up to 16 new fixed platforms, 12 new floaters and around 60 new subsea tie-ins. Today, Acona is represented with more than 300 professionals in this marketplace. In fact, for most of our expertise we experience higher demands then we are able to provide. We are convinced that future success is attracting the best people, retain those and be perceived as a passionate company with highest possible focus on quality and service to tasks and clients is the key to success.

OUR KEY BUSINESS FOCUS CAN BE SUMMARIZED AS FOLLOWS:

· Well engineering, consulting and operations management.· HSE, risk & compliance management· Geo services· Flow assurance and production engineering· Fully operational emergency response centre

Planning and executing safe and efficient drilling operations requires a really wide set of competencies. Such skills are today included and part of our organization. At the same time, our industry faces challenges relating to cost, safety and emergency awareness while looking for opportunities to explore and develop resources in new and more environmentally sensitive areas.

Acona provides value-adding services to our clients by taking these chal-lenges very seriously. We believe that a seamless integration of knowledge and experience, brought together in a structured, yet creative setting, is the only way forward. This kind of mindset is included in our vision and strategies. Stakeholders’ acceptance of the robustness and credibility of the Acona way to provide business is best demonstrated by our clients’ continued demand for our solutions. This provides us with confidence to move on.

2011 was a year for restructuring and consolidation. A new management team is

established. Numbers of business areas are reduced and consolidated. Non core activities are divested. A strategy and action plan for our future defined business units has been implemented. As part of this process the company cost structure has been reconstructed to better reflect current status and future ambitions.

In 2011 we had a breakthrough for our innovative approach to establish an independent emergency preparedness center. Our highly professional Incident Coordination team managed to take a substantial growth by establishing a number of new contracts in this area of our business. I am convinced that this team will continue to demonstrate to current and new customers that this com-petencies represents a leading edge of knowledge, embedded in an operational framework. Such a combination is rare, and we are proud to continue developing new services for our clients in this area.

That fact that Acona in 2011 was awarded a new frame agreement with Lundin for drilling management services represents a substantial step forward to strengthen our company’s position as a strong provider of drilling management services. The new agreement demonstrates the extension of a well established cooperation between the two companies. We are proud that Lundin has chosen Acona to take on responsibilities that oil companies normally cover with its own personnel resources. A drilling team from Acona will work integrated with Lundins operation unit, and this integrated team will have the responsibility for managing Lundins drilling operations.

Our focus has and shall always remain with our clients. Acona acknowledges that this requires us to have the in-house processes and systems in place. We have spent considerable efforts in 2011 establishing a series of integration processes aimed at adding professionalism to our business, including financial manage-ment and, as always in our type of business, excellent people management practices.

All of this adds to our competitive advantage. Acona is well positioned to grow both organically and through acquisitions and mergers over the next coming years. Our key challenge will be to attract and retain the leading competences required, both in terms of capacity and the resulting client satisfaction. High caliber people represent by far the most sustainable way of also attracting the best people in our industry. Hence, we are well positioned to capitalize on the exiting possibilities in the growing marketplace.

In 2011 Acona gathered all drilling and well related competence and projects in one business unit, Drilling and Well Technology. This business unit now has approx. 210 consultants working for 25 different clients. The administration is taken care of from Acona’s offices in Stavanger and Bergen . This consolidates our position as having one of the largest “groups of drilling personnel” in Norway, regardless of comparison.

2011 WAS A CHALLENGING YEAR. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE OPERATION ARE:

• The Drilling Management Services for Lundin Norway was out for a new Tender, after we had concluded the first four year contract period last August. It was with utmost satisfaction we landed this new multi-well drilling management contract with duration of 3-5 years. The Frame agreement was followed by a commitment to deliver 10 wells with Bredford Dolphin, a program that is already under way. In addition we have ensured the Drilling Management services for Lundin’s 3-5 slots with the Transocean Arctic, commencing summer 2012. This program includes two wells in the Barents Sea. At present we have two com-plete teams following up the plan phase and offshore operations for the client.

• Another of our multi-well Drilling Management Contracts – for Det norske, was also up for evaluation. After good performance and an impressive record of wells and operators covered by this team, Det norske have signed the contract option for two more years, now with duration until end of 2013.

• We also successfully concluded a well for Idemitsu Petroleum Norge under a Drilling management services agreement we had won in a tender exercise in 2010.It was the first ever well drilled in Norway by IPN, and the team was the same that previously had drilled two wells for Centrica Norge.

• Through our Drilling Management Services Contracts we have now delivered more than 25 exploration wells in Norway since we started in 2008. The work

has been for eight different operating companies, involving six different drilling rigs, and locations from far south to the Barents Sea, including HPHT and well testing operations.

• Our Technical Limit Coach (TLC) operations in Baku continued with more rigs and larger activity than ever. Our team of approximately 20 persons pro-vides BP with services to improve the drilling operations in the Caspian Sea. This year has given us many challenges- not at least relating to recruitment, which was managed in an impressive manner.

• Besides these projects and under the many consultancy contracts, approxi-mately 125 persons, have all been 100% busy and assigned to clients representing most operating companies, and some drilling contractors in Norway. The competence provided covers all major disciplines of drilling technology and associated services.

The boom we see in our market and industry is affecting everybody involved. We had an impressive recruitment in 2011, but also saw many of our colleagues leaving the company. Our clients are amongst those that represent the largest target group for the personnel that left Acona. We take that as recognition of the competence and quality of our resources.In spite all the challenges to maintain staff levels, fulfil customer expectations, and attend to inquiries, we managed the targets for the year, with an impressive 536 mill NOK revenue.We will continue to offer the most attractive opportunities and employment conditions to our personnel, ensure that our clients are happy with our performance, and through these efforts make sure that the targets for 2012 also will be met. Our goal of providing quality services, founded on competence, capacity, systems and ability to deliver, remains also for 2012. “Quality Today is Tomorrows Reputation” still stands as a guiding principle in all we do.

# HSE & RISK

HSE & Risk provides services to improve clients’ performance by assisting with identification of threats, assessment and development of management systems, monitoring systems and training.

The primary objective of our HSE & Risk management support team is to assist our clients to be proactive in identifying business challenges, and then to find safe and cost effective solutions. Our staff is trained to identify risks and chal-lenges and with an eye for finding solutions. Our team is located in Stavanger and Oslo.HSE & Risk has personnel with background from the Norwegian HSE-Authorities, and hence has extensive competence regarding the Norwegian regulatory regime for the Petroleum Activities. Their experiences include HSE Supervisory activities, administration of applications, counseling and development of methods. During 2011, HSE & Risk has again provided assistance and guidance to several licensees and operators in their pre-qualification process after a few years with few new companies being established on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).HSE & Risk has developed a comprehensive package of supporting Health,

Safety and Environmental studies providing all necessary HSE-support documentation for exploration drilling activities. Each individual element of the support package has captured previous experiences from a number of similar deliverables and represents a best industry practice. The service is particularly valuable where it can be applied on a consecutive series of wells to one client or to a rig consortium.After a period where several of our main clients have been in the exploration drilling phase, some of these are now moving into the field development phase. HSE & Risk is similarly enhancing our services and capacities to provide support also to these projects with services like strategic environmental impact assess-ments, application for PDO, compliance support to building projects, etc

During 2011 our accident investigation and cause analysis services have been further enhanced through cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). We appreciates that several of our clients have taken these services into use to investigate root causes not only to accidents, but also to technical and operational issues. We also appreciate that clients other than typical oil and gas companies are using our investigation services extensively, i.e. shipping-, smelting- and power- industry.

Acona AS auditor is Erga Revisjon AS with chartered accountant Mr. Sven Erga, Stavanger, Norway.

OUTLOOK AND RISKThe Board of Directors believes that Acona Group has strengthened its position in several areas i in 2011 and is well prepared to meet future competition.The macro perspectives for 2012 and in the coming years are looking promosing. The company has outstanding competence to deliver in accordance with the customers’ expectations.

Acona has a low exposure to financial risk. Currency risk is low and almost all pay-ments are in Norwegian kroner. The company has low interest bearing debt and hence there is low exposure to changes in interest rates.

Acona’s customers are primarily operators on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Losses on accounts receivables are considered relatively low. The Company has not incurred significant losses on receivables. The Company considers liquidity to be good, but we have an increasing focus on past due receivables. The biggest uncertainty for the business is recruitment of adequate qualified presonell, fluctuations in oil price, and any changes in framework for our customers.

Resultat før skatt ble NOK 7,7 millioner.. 2011 ga et underskudd etter skatt og minoritets-interesser på NOK 0,8 millioner, sammenlignet med 2010 netto som ga et tap på 5,8 millioner. 2011 tallene er påvirket av om lag NOK 8 millioner i engangskostnader, hovedsakelig til sluttvederlag og tap på avhendet virksomhet.

Styret foreslår å la overskuddet gå til annen egenkapital og ikke å betale ut utbytte for 2011.

I samsvar med norsk regnskapslovgivning 1998 § 3-3 styret bekrefter at forutsetningene for fortsatt drift er til stede.

BALANSEKonsoliderte kundefordringer var NOK 134,5 millioner ved utgangen av året, ned fra NOK 162,9 mill. året før. Sum kontanter og bankinnskudd utgjorde 26,4 millioner kroner ved utgangen av året og egenkapitalen utgjorde NOK

ÅRSBERETNING 2011

16 17

FREMTIDSUTSIKTER OG RISIKOStyret mener at ACONA har styrket sin posisjon på flere områder i markedet i 2011 og er godt forberedt til å møte fremtidig konkurranse. Makroperspektiv for 2012 og videre er bra. Selskapet har den nødvendige kompetanse til å levere i samsvar med våre kunders forventninger. ACONA har lav eksponering på finansiell risiko. Valuta risiko er lav og så godt som alle innbetalinger er i norske kroner. Selskapet har lav rentebærende gjeld og er av denne grunn lite eksponert for endringer i rentenivået. ACONA’s kunder er primært operatører på Norsk Kontinentalsokkel. Risikoen for tap på fordringer vurderes derfor som lav. Selskapet har hittil ikke hatt vesentlige tap på fordringer. Selskapet vurderer likviditeten som god, men vi har økende fokus på forfalte fordringer.

Den største usikkerhet og risiko for vår virksomhet er å rekruttere nok kvalifiserte ansatte, svingninger i oljeprisen, omdømme i market og eventuelle endringer i rammevilkårene for våre kunder. Imidlertid synes det at ingen av disse vil vesentlig påvirke driften i 2012.

RESULTATDISPONERINGStyret foreslår at årsresultatet for ACONA Holding AS på kr 19 984 877 avsattes til annen egenkapital. Selskapet hadde NOK 36 022 939. i fri egenkapital pr 31. desember 2011.

NOTER // NOTES

NOTE 1 REGNSKAPSPRINSIPPER

Årsregnskapet, som er utarbeidet av selskapets styre og ledelse, må leses i sammenheng med årsberetningen og revisjonsberetningen.

Årsregnskapet består av resultatregnskap, balanse, kontantstrømoppstilling og noteopplysninger og er avlagt i samsvar med aksjelov, regnskapslov og god regnskapsskikk i Norge.

REGNSKAPSPRINSIPPERÅrsregnskapet er basert på de grunnleggende prinsipper om historisk kost, sammenlignbarhet, fortsatt drift, kongruens og forsiktighet. Transaksjoner regnskapsføres til verdien av vederlaget på transaksjonstidspunktet. Inntekter resultatføres når de er opptjent og kostnader sammenstilles med opptjente inntekter.

Ved anvendelse av regnskapsprinsipper og presentasjon av transaksjoner og andre forhold, legges det vekt på økonomiske realiteter, ikke bare juridisk form. Betingede tap som er sannsynlige og kvantifiserbare, kostnadsføres. Regnskapsprinsippene er utdypet nedenfor.

KONSOLIDERINGSPRINSIPPERKonsoliderte selskapKonsernregnskapet omfatter de selskap hvor morselskapet og datterselskap direkte eller indirekte har bestemmende innflytelse. Konsernregnskapet viser selskapenes økonomiske stilling, resultat av årets virksomhet og kontantstrømmer som en samlet økonomisk enhet. Bestemmende innflytelse anses, i utgangspunktet, å foreligge når en direkte eller indirekte eier mer enn 50 % av den stemmeberettigede kapital. Selskap som eies midlertidig konsolideres ikke. Det er anvendt enhetlige regnskapsprinsipper for alle selskap som inngår i konsernet. Nyervervede datterselskap medtas fra det tidspunkt bestemmende innflytelse oppnås, og avhendede datterselskap medtas frem til avhendelsestidspunktet.

Eliminering av interne transaksjonerAlle vesentlige transaksjoner og mellomværende mellom selskaper i konsernet er eliminert.

Eliminering av eierandeler i datterselskapEierandeler i datterselskaper er eliminert i konsernregnskapet etter oppkjøpsmetoden. Forskjellen mellom kostpris for eierandelene og bokført verdi av netto eiendeler på oppkjøpstidspunktet analyseres og henføres til de enkelte balanseposter i henhold til reell verdi. Eventuell ytterligere merpris som skyldes forventninger om fremtidiginntjening, aktiveres som goodwill og avskrives i resultatregnskapet i takt med de underliggende forhold og forventet økonomisk levetid.

Behandling av tilknyttede selskapMed tilknyttede selskap menes selskap der konsernet har en eierandel på 20-50 %, hvor investeringen er av langvarig og strategisk karakter og hvor konsernet kan utøve en vesentlig innflytelse. Det tilknyttede selskapet er vurdert etter kostmetoden i selskapsregnskapet. I konsernregnskapet brukes egenkapitalmetoden. Konsernets andel av resultatet i et tilknyttet selskap er basert på resultat etter skatt i det tilknyttede selskapet med fradrag for eventuelle avskrivninger på merverdier som skyldes at kostpris på eierandelene var høyere enn den ervervede andel av bokført egenkapital. I resultatregnskapet er andel av resultatet i tilknyttet selskap vist under finansposter. I balansen vises eierandeler i tilknyttede selskaper under anleggsmidler.

INNTEKTS- OG KOSTNADSFØRINGSTIDSPUNKT (SAMMENSTILLING)Inntekt resultatføres som hovedregel når den er opptjent. Utgifter sammenstilles med og kostnadsføres samtidig med de inntekter utgiftene kan henføres til. Utgifter som ikke kan henføres direkte til inntekter, kostnadsføres når de påløper.

EIENDELER OG GJELDEiendeler/gjeld som knytter seg til varekretsløpet og poster som forfaller til betaling innen ett år etter balansedagen, er klassifisert som omløpsmidler/kortsiktig gjeld. Vurdering av omløpsmidler/kortsiktig gjeld skjer til laveste/høyeste verdi av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi. Virkelig verdi er definert som antatt fremtidig salgspris redusert medforventede salgskostnader. Andre eiendeler er klassifisert som anleggsmidler. Vurdering av anleggsmidler skjer til anskaffelseskost. Anleggsmidler som forringes avskrives. Dersom det finner sted en verdiendring som ikke er forbigående, foretas en nedskrivning av anleggsmidlet. Tilsvarende prinsipper legges normalt til grunn for gjeldsposter.

KONTANTSTRØMOPPSTILLINGKontantstrømoppstillingen er utarbeidet etter den indirekte metoden. Kontanter og kontantekvivalenter omfatter kontanter og bankinnskudd.

VARIGE DRIFTSMIDLERVarige driftsmidler føres i balansen til anskaffelseskost, fratrukket akkumulerte avskrivninger. Ordinære avskrivninger er beregnet lineært over driftsmidlenes økonomiske levetid med utgangspunkt i historisk kostpris.

INVESTERING I DATTERSELSKAP I selskapsregnskapet er investering i datterselskap vurdert til laveste av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi.

INVESTERING I TILKNYTTET SELSKAPI selskapsregnskapet er investering i tilknyttet selskap vurdert til laveste av anskaffelseskost og virkelig verdi.

VARELAGERBeholdninger av varer vurderes til det laveste av kostpris etter “først inn - først ut”-prinsippet og antatt salgspris. Kostpris for innkjøpte varer er anskaffelseskost.

FORDRINGERFordringer er oppført til pålydende med fradrag for forventede tap.

UTSATT SKATTUtsatt skatt beregnes på bakgrunn av midlertidige forskjeller mellom regnskapsmessige og skattemessige verdier ved utgangen av regnskapsåret. Ved beregningen benyttes nominell skattesats. Positive og negative forskjeller vurderes mot hverandre innenfor samme tidsintervall.

Utsatt skattefordel oppstår dersom en har midlertidige forskjeller som gir opphav til skattemessige fradrag i fremtiden. Årets skattekostnad består av betalbar skatt for inntektsåret, samt endring i utsatt skatt.

NOTER // NOTES

NOTE 1 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

The annual financial statements, which have been prepared by the company’s board and management, should be read together with the annual report and the auditor’s report.

The annual financial statements, which consist of the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and notes, have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Limited Liability Companies Act and the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting standards in Norway.

ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLESThe annual financial statements are based on fundamental principles of historical costs, comparability, going concern, congruity and prudence. Transactions are recognized at the value of the compensation at the time of the transaction. Income is recognized when it accrues and costs are matched with earned income.

When applying accounting principles and presenting transactions and other items, financial realities are emphasized, not just legal form. Conditional losses that are probable and quantifiable are recorded as cost. The accounting principles have been expanded below.

CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLESConsolidated companiesThe group financial statements comprise the companies where the parent company and subsidiaries, directly or indirectly, have a controlling interest. The group financial statements present the financial position of the companies, the profits on activities during the year, and cash flows as one economic unit. Basically, a controlling interest is deemed to exist when a direct or indirect owner controls more than 50% of the voting capital. However, temporary owned companies are not consolidated. The accounting principles have been applied consistently for all companies comprised by the group. Newly acquired subsidiaries are included from the time a controlling interest is achieved, and divested subsidiaries are included up to the time of disposal.

Elimination of intragroup transactionsAll significant transactions and outstanding accounts between group companies are eliminated.

Elimination of ownership interests in subsidiariesIn the group financial statements, ownership interests in subsidiaries are eliminated pursuant to the acquisition method. The difference between the cost price of the shares and the book value of net assets at the time of acquisition, is analyzed and allocated to separate balance sheet items according to their fair value. Any further share premium due to expectations of future earnings, are capitalized and depreciated in the income statement in line with the underlying conditions and its expected economic life.

Recognition of associatesAssociates are companies in which the group has an ownership interest of 20-50%, where the investment is of a long-term and strategic character and where the group is able to exercise substantial influence. In the company financial statements, the associate is valued according to the cost method. The equity method is used in the group financial statements. The group’s share of the profits of an associate is based on profits after taxes of the associate after deduction of any depreciation of share premiums due to the cost price of the assets being higher than the acquired share of book equity. In the income statement, the share of profits of associates is recognized under financial items. In the balance sheet, shares in associates are recognized under fixed assets.

INCOME AND COST ACCRUAL (MATCHING)In general, income is recognized upon accrual. Expenses are matched with and recognized at the same time as the income the expenses may be attributed to. Expenses that cannot be attributed directly to income are recognized upon accrual.

ASSETS AND LIABILITIESAssets/liabilities related to the circulation of goods and items due for payment within one year from the date of the balance sheet, are classified as current assets/liabilities. Current assets/liabilities are valued at acquisition cost or fair value, whatever is lower/higher. Fair value is defined as the assumed future sale price reduced by expected cost of sale. Other assets are classified as fixed assets. Fixed assets are valued at acquisition cost. Fixed assets with diminishing value are subject to depreciation. If there is a change in value that cannot be considered temporary, the fixed asset is written down to its fair value. Similar principle normally applies also to liability items.

CASH FLOW STATEMENTThe cash flow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank deposits.

FIXED ASSETSFixed assets are recognized in the balance sheet at acquisition cost with the deduction of accumulated depreciation. Ordinary depreciation is calculated on a linear basis over the expected useful life of the asset based on its historical cost.

INVESTMENTS IN SUBSIDIARIES In the company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are valued to acquisition cost or fair value, whichever is lower.

INVESTMENTS IN ASSOCIATESIn the company financial statements, investments in associates are valued at acquisition cost or fair value, whichever is lower.

INVENTORYInventories of goods are valued at purchasing cost according to the “first in – first out” principle, or the estimated sale price, whichever is lower. The cost price of purchased goods is the acquisition cost.

RECEIVABLESReceivables are recognized at nominal value with deduction for expected losses.

DEFERRED TAXESDeferred taxes are estimated on the basis of temporary differences between financial and tax-related values at the end of the financial year. Nominal tax rates are used in the calculations. Positive and negative differences are off-set during the same time period.

Deferred tax benefits arise if there are temporary differences that will cause tax deductions in the future. The tax cost of the year is comprised of taxes payable and changes in deferred taxes.
