CHAIRMANS STATEMENT
Dear Shareholders,
Icon Offshore Berhad (ICON) was successfully
listed on Bursa Malaysia on 25 June 2014.
It was the countrys largest listing in 2014,
attracting substantial interest from Malaysia
and international investors.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
I am pleased and privileged to welcome you
on board as a shareholder of ICON and to
present to you the inaugural annual report
of Icon Offshore Berhad for the financial year
ended 31 December 2014.

OUR OPERATING ENVIRONMENT


While our listing had been successful, the year in review
was a turbulent one for oil and gas players given the
subdued global economic growth and the continued
softening of oil prices in the second half of the year. The
bleak outlook for the global oil and gas industry adversely
affected demand for oilfield services which was further
affected by the reduction in capital expenditure by oil
majors. In view of the surplus supply of oil and weakening
oil prices, global OSV players had to contend with
lower vessel utilisation rates. This scenario coupled with
challenging Malaysian economic landscape, affected
the many OSV players supporting the domestic oil and
gas industry, including ICON.
Nevertheless, as a result of our competencies and
fundamentals in the Malaysian OSV sector, we were
able to maintain our profitability.

CHAIRMANS STATEMENT (contd)

OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE


Against this backdrop, ICON posted
lower revenue of RM318.9 million
for the financial year ended 31
December 2014, a 4.8% or RM16.0
million drop from RM334.9 million
in financial year 2013 (FY2013). This
decrease was mainly attributable
to lower demand as well as lower
oil and gas industry activities.
ICON recorded adjusted profit
after tax (excluding exceptional
items) of RM90.7 million in FY2014
in comparison to RM89.6 million
registered in FY2013. ICONs strength
in maintaining its profitability amidst
uncertain market conditions speaks
well of its resilience.

for ICON, the Board of Directors
is committed to upholding and

training and career development
programmes to seafarers working
in the OSV industry. More details of
our people development activities
can be found in the CSR and IMTC

and
impact
positively
on our diverse stakeholders in
22 ICON OFFSHORE BERHAD

OUTOOK AND PROSPECTS


The
International
Monetary
Fund has downgraded its global
growth forecast for 2015 largely
due to the stuttering recovery in
the United States, the continued
fragility in the Eurozone and the
slowdown in Chinas economy.
While for Malaysia, the economy
is expected to grow at a revised

forecast of between 4.5% and 5.5%


in 2015 (2014: 6%). The uncertainty
of declining oil prices affecting
the countrys outlook will linger.
The challenges in the geopolitical
environment, the drastic weakening
in crude oil prices, coupled with
cost optimisation initiatives by oil
majors, are all expected to affect
the demand for OSV services.
Going forward, ICON will focus its
efforts on ensuring its utilisation rate
is maintained through aggressively
tendering for domestic and regional
work as well as maintaining its
competitiveness. As the largest
OSV provider in Malaysia, ICON
will continue to implement sound
strategies to ensure the delivery of
long-term, sustainable growth to our
stakeholders. Going forward, the
Board of Directors remains optimistic
that ICON will be able to sustain its
profitability for FY2015.

APPRECIATION
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I
want to convey my heartfelt thanks
to you, our valued shareholders, for
placing your unwavering trust in us
amidst the ups and downs of our
business cycle. I also wish to extend
my sincere thanks to our dedicated
management team and staff, who
have helped us strive through the
marketplace challenges to deliver
another profitable year. My utmost
gratitude goes to our loyal clients,
suppliers, business associates, and
the various regulatory authorities
for their steadfast support and
confidence in ICON.

Last but not least, I wish to express


my deep appreciation to my
fellow Board members for their wise
counsel and support in helping steer
ICON through another year replete
with challenges and opportunities.
As we venture forth to explore new
areas of opportunity and brave
new challenges, I call upon all our
stakeholders to lend us their staunch
support. Thank you.

PERFORMANCE

Our inaugural year as a public listed company

CEOs Review
Dear Shareholders,
The year 2014 has been a roller-coaster one, for
oil and gas industry as well as ICON.

The oil price reached its peak at US$115 per barrel in


the middle of the year to closing the year at about
US$60 per barrel. The second half of 2014, proved to be
challenging for the oil and gas industry as the volatility
of oil prices together with the global turmoil in oil from
non-OPEC nations continued to adversely affect oil
majors globally. Given the ample supply of oil and its
weakening prices, the overall utilisation rates for the
global OSV market remained suppressed. Amidst these
challenges, I am pleased to report that ICON leveraged
on its competencies and fundamentals to turn in a
steady performance for financial year 2014 (FY2014).
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
In FY2014, ICONs revenue dropped by 4.8% to RM318.9
million from RM334.9 million in the financial year 2013
(FY2013) while we recorded adjusted profit after tax
(excluding exceptional items) of RM90.7 million in
comparison to RM89.6 million registered in FY2013.
ICONs strength in maintaining its profitability amidst
uncertain market conditions speaks well of its resilience.
The lower revenue was mainly attributable to a lower
fleet utilisation rate following the completion of contracts
and delays in the award of subsequent contracts. On the
whole, ICONs vessels registered a lower vessel utilisation
rate of 78% in FY2014 as compared to 84% in FY2013,
primarily due to lower demand and lower activities in oil
and gas industry in the second half of the year.

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT OF OUR FLEET


As at 31 March 2015, we had 33
vessels in our fleet with an average
fleet age of approximately 4.3
years.
Our fleet comprises 20
anchor handling tug and supply
(AHTS) vessels which make up 68%
of our total fleet; three smaller
anchor handling tug (AHT) vessels
(10% of our total fleet); and four
straight supply vessel or SSVs (13%
of our total fleet). The remaining
9% of the fleet comprises two
platform supply vessels (PSVs), three
accommodation work boats (AWBs)
including the new Icon Kayra, and
one utility vessel (UV). While, we have
primarily been focusing on shallow

water operations, we are selectively


moving into deep waters through a
fleet expansion, diversification and
rejuvenation plan.

innovative solutions for our clients


given our investments in new vessels,
energy efficient vessels with latest
technical specifications.

Our versatile fleet of various types


of vessels also comes equipped
with latest technology equipment
and machinery such as dynamic
positioning class 2 (DP2) and diesel
electric engine. This enables us to
provide a wide range of logistical
support services throughout the
entire offshore oil and gas life
cycle. With oil majors placing more
emphasis on fuel consumption,
pollution prevention and comfort
on board its vessels, we are in a
good position to continue providing

In FY2014, we continued to improve


our fleet utilisation through our
active fleet rejuvenation plan. Over
the course of the year, we disposed
of one low specification AHT vessel
(the Omni Solaris) in March 2014,
while one low specification UV, the
Tanjung Manis, was disposed of in
August 2014. The fleet rejuvenation
plan began with the disposal of
two AHT vessels in FY2013. Going
forward, we will continue to explore
opportunities to dispose of our AHT
fleet that have lower specifications

as well as older vessels while


improving our fleet utilisation rates
by leveraging on replacement with
higher specification vessels.
In Q1 FY2015, we added one
AWB (ICON Valiant) and one PSV
(Tanjung Piai 2) to our fleet. Another
five vessels are currently under
construction and will join our fleet
between second half of FY2015
and FY2017. These new builds
comprise one AWB, two 10,930 bhp
AHTS vessels, one PSV and one fast
crew boat (FCB). These new builds
will strengthen our earnings base
going forward and more efficient
operating performance to meet
the needs of the OSV market.
Competition is expected to remain
tight especially for the lower bhp
AHT and AHTS asset segments.
As such, we have taken steps to
diversify into selective asset classes
to reduce our dependency on
these segments. Today, we are
focusing our efforts on assets
that meet client requirements,
particularly the AWB, FCB and
higher bhp AHTS asset segments,
where higher specification vessels
will provide us the ability to move
into the deepwater market.
Despite the prevailing uncertainties
facing the oil and gas industry, we
remain committed to implementing
our shipbuilding programme for the
long-term. We are also exploring
opportunities to acquire additional
vessels to meet the demands of our
clientele under our fleet expansion
plan. We will continue to leverage
on our healthy balance sheet
and lower gearing ratio for future
growth. These efforts will enable us
to capture a myriad of opportunities
in the OSV sector.

CONTRACTS SECURED
In FY2014, ICON secured contracts
amounting to RM403.5 million. This
includes contracts secured with
Brunei Shell Petroleum (BSP) for the
provision of one AWB for a period
of 5+2 years, with Talisman Malaysia
and with EQ Petroleum Production
Malaysia.
In February 2015, we received
Letter of Award from PETRONAS for
the provision of the spot charter of
marine vessels under the umbrella
contract. We were awarded six
out of eight packages offered
by PETRONAS under the umbrella
contract which will include 60
MT AHTS vessels, SSVs, PSVs, UVs,
workboats, and AWBs packages.
All these will ensure that we have
a steady earnings stream going
forward.
STRENGTHENING OUR ORDER BOOK
Despite the soft industry outlook, we
expect to reap the benefits of cash
flow stability and earnings visibility
as a portion of our order book is
long-term in nature. The contracts in
hand will contribute positively to our
earnings over the duration of the
contracts.
As at end of FY2014, ICONs order
book stood at RM760.2 million,
of which RM522.0 million (68.7%)
of firm contracts and RM216.2
million (28.4%) of extension options.
Approximately 53% of the current
order book will provide future
revenue up to FY2016. We are
optimistic that the right balance of
supply and demand will take place
in FY2015 to give us steady revenue.

EXPANDING OUR FOOTPRINT


While ICON is a Malaysian-based
OSV provider and all of our vessels
are Malaysian-flagged, we have
also taken the opportunity to
expand our footprint. In August
2014, in line with our strategy of
geographical diversification, we
expanded our footprint into Brunei
of which our new Icon Kayra is
currently servicing the contract.
Meanwhile,
the
Management
team is continuing to pursue
other opportunities to expand our
geographical footprint and new
client base in the region. As we
continue to secure new clients in
new geographies, we are spreading
our risk and limit our exposure in the
existing market.

30 ICON OFFSHORE BERHAD

Going forward, ICON will continue


to expand its footprint to ensure
further geographical diversification
such as exploring opportunities in
the Southeast Asian region.
STRONG HSE PRACTICES
On the Health, Safety and
Environmental (HSE) front, we
continue to maintain high standards
and receive recognition from
our clients for maintaining an
outstanding HSE track record. Until
FY2014, we achieved 19.2 million
manhours without lost time injury and
received awards from ExxonMobil
Exploration
and
Production
Malaysia Inc., ExxonMobil Malaysia,
Maersk Oil Qatar and PETRONAS
Carigali. More details can be found
in the HSE section of this Annual
Report.

OUR PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT


INITIATIVES
Through
implementing
talent
management initiatives as well as
extensive training and development
opportunities for ICONs cadets and
crew, particularly under our Icon
Maritime Training Centre (IMTC),
we are enhancing our readiness
to capitalise on the Malaysian and
Southeast Asian oil and gas industry,
in anticipation of upwards outlook
in our cyclical industry. Today, Icon
has an in house OSV training centre
known as IMTC and we are in the
process of seeking the Malaysian
Government
accreditation
for
the centre. More details on these
initiatives can be found in the CSR
and IMTC sections of this Annual
Report.

MOVING FORWARD

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Amidst signs of slower global growth


and the prevailing uncertainties
in the global oil and gas industry,
ICON intends to continue riding out
the current volatile oil prices with a
focus on long-term and sustainable
growth. As we further expand, we
will step up our efforts to provide
earnings visibility by growing and
replenishing our order book through
competitive bidding and improving
fleet utilisation rates through active
fleet management.

ICONs success in establishing itself as


a leading OSV player is attributable
to the support of many parties. I wish
to express my heartfelt appreciation
to our valued customers, suppliers,
business partners, the various
Government agencies where we do
business, as well as our joint venture
partners for their unwavering trust
and confidence in us, as well as for
extending us their firm support and
cooperation.

At the same time, we will work to


maintain a strong balance sheet
position and conserve our cash,
which will enable us to capitalise
on opportunities as and when
they arise. We will also continue to
maintain our line of sight on high
HSE standards as well as explore
geographical expansion by pursuing
other opportunities and enlarge
our client base. In achieving our
objectives and ensuring sustainable
growth, we will continue to remain
agile and flexible to adapt to the
changes in the ever-changing oil
and gas industry.

I wish to convey my deep gratitude


to ICONs Board of Directors for their
wise counsel and astute insights
which have certainly helped us steer
a steady course amidst a turbulent
year for the oil and gas industry. I wish
to convey my utmost appreciation
to all ICONs employees for their
loyalty, commitment to excellence
and dedication.
I trust all our stakeholders will
continue to lend us their steadfast
support as we set our sights on
achieving new heights of success
for our Company while weathering
the challenges in the oil and gas
industry. Thank you.

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL

UPHOLDING GOOD HEALTH, SAFETY AND


ENVIRONMENTAL PRACTICES
As ICON grows its business, we are mindful that we
need to deliver exceptional customer experiences
by consistently meeting or exceeding customers
expectations for operational performance. This includes
maintaining the highest Health, Safety and Environmental
(HSE) standards and eliminating workplace incidents
and injuries in line with the requirements of national oil
companies (NOCs) and international oil companies
(lOCs).
THE IMPORTANCE OF A STRONG HSE TRACK RECORD
In the oil and gas industry, a good HSE track record is
one of the key selection criteria imposed by NOCs and
IOCs. In the OSV arena, vessel providers with a strong
HSE record of accomplishment stand a better chance
of securing charter contracts. An established HSE
track record also poses a significant barrier to entry for
potential competitors. As such, ICON is committed to

steadfastly maintaining comprehensive HSE practices


across our entire fleet to ensure the safe operation of
our vessels, the prevention of pollution, and injury and
incident-free work environment.
HSE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
ICON is continuously working at improving our HSE
performance through our integrated framework of
procedures, emergency drills, practices and standards
to prevent, identify, organise and control potential
hazards in a proactive manner. We have implemented
key safety system elements such as employee training,
inspections, safety and incident analyses, incident
investigations, emergency preparedness, protective
equipment, health controls, group meetings, the
promotion of a safety culture and good environmental
protection measures.

2014 ANNUAL REPORT

37

HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL (contd)

We place an emphasis on personal safety, the identification of safety, risks and the specification of critical control
measures throughout our operations. Our efforts also extend to conducting an annual HSE Day with our staff, charterers,
clients and suppliers in order to foster collaboration and ensure a seamless response in case of emergency.
ICON also has HSE and security policies in place. These include our HSE Policy to provide safe and healthy working
conditions on vessels and premises; a Safety Management System Policy to maintain safe and reliable operations
of vessels and environmental impact; a Stop Work Policy to pursue the goal of no harm to people, properties and
environment; a Drug and Alcohol Policy to maintain a safe, healthy and conducive environment for all personnel.
ENSURING HIGH HSE STANDARDS
Due to the nature of our operations, we are subjected to various internal and external safety audits. These ensure that
we comply with HSE protection laws and regulations as well as maintain effective waste prevention and reduction
capabilities. To date, we have implemented a number of measures that include the implementation of systems,
covering formal safety management, comprehensive incident and near-miss reporting as well as investigation and
emergency response.
Moreover, we conduct regular safety and environmental audits and provide systematic health and safety training for
our employees. We are proactive in establishing policies and operating procedures for safeguarding the environment
against any hazardous materials aboard our vessels and at shore-based locations.
Whenever possible, hazardous materials are maintained in or transferred to confined areas in an attempt to ensure
containment if accidents occur. In addition, we have established operating policies that aim to increase awareness of
actions that may harm the environment. We have implemented Safety Awareness Coach scheduled visit to our vessels
to enhance safety on board vessels through providing crews safety coaching.

Corporate Social Responsibility

OUR COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE CORPORATE


PRACTICES
ICON is committed to growing profitably in a responsible
and sustainable manner. To this end, we continue to
undertake tangible Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) practices that serve to create value for and
impact positively on our diverse stakeholders in the
areas of the Community, Workplace, Marketplace and
the Environment.
ELEVATING COMMUNITIES
As a conscientious corporate citizen, we strongly
believe that we have an obligation to give back to the
communities in which we operate as well as to elevate
the lives of those who are less fortunate. With the goal of
making a positive and tangible impact on communities,
ICON is actively engaged in activities that address the
needs of existing communities as well as the generations
to come.
ICON is a supporter of the Dyslexia Association of
Malaysia (Persatuan Dyslexia Malaysia or PDM). Back
in 2013, we supported PDM in its efforts to train teachers
and psychologists in Malaysia on ways to assess
students with learning difficulties. This was achieved
through a workshop where foreign experts were invited
to train teachers on the methods of conducting various

40 ICON OFFSHORE BERHAD

tests for students with learning disabilities. At the same


time, these experts imparted knowledge on teaching
methods that had been developed for such students.
In June 2014, ICON worked with PDM to organise
workshops in Johor Bahru, Johor and Sungai Petani,
Kedah. Some 270 participants comprising parents,
teachers, minders and nurses took part in the workshops
featuring an occupational therapist, speech therapist
and psychologist. Feedback from the workshops has
been very positive with calls for more workshops of this
kind to be organised so that the latest knowledge and
tools can be shared with participants. The year also
saw ICON sponsoring PDMs Sports Day where our staff
volunteered to oversee the days proceedings.
We are also dedicated to promoting education among
the younger generation through our sponsorship of a
tuition programme at two secondary and two primary
schools in Kemaman, Terengganu, an area in which
we operate. We kicked off the programme in 2014
and to date Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Kijal,
Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Ayer Puteh, Sekolah
Kebangsaan Payoh and Sekolah Kebangsaan RKT
Seberang Tayor have benefited from the programme.
The programme is an important part of our CSR efforts to
improve the living standards of the community and spur
educational development in the area.

STRENGTHENING OUR WORKPLACE


ICONs employees are its greatest asset and we take
steps to ensure the health, safety and wellbeing of
our employees. We understand the importance of
attracting, retaining and nurturing the best talent and
endeavour to create a culture of support and success
within our organisation while promoting and providing a
safe and healthy work environment.
As at end 2014, ICONs workforce stood at 177
employees strong. We registered an attrition rate of
2% in 2014 while a total of 36 new employees came on
board ICON. As an equal opportunity employer, ICON
is committed to employing, developing and rewarding
our employees through the principles of meritocracy
regardless of their gender, nationality and age. As at
31 December 2014, we had a 7:10 ratio for our female
to male employees and a 1:3 ratio of the same at the
Senior Management level.
To bolster our workforce, we continue to roll out a host of
training and development programmes for employees
at all levels throughout our organisation. The year saw
us investing some RM560,000 in internal and external
programmes.
To sustain our business, we continue to implement talent
development, leadership development and succession
planning activities. In October 2014, we launched
our Leadership Programme for Heads of Department
(HODs). This initiative aims to identify and develop
potential leaders to support the business.
We offer competitive remuneration packages. To
inculcate a performance culture within our organisation,
we ensure our peoples key performance indicators
(KPIs) align with ICONs corporate vision and mission.
We view our employees as members of our family and
are committed to building a strong team spirit through
employee engagement activities. Staff activities such
as our Gunung Kinabalu excursion as well as go-kart and
badminton tournaments have certainly helped build
workplace camaraderie and strengthened employeremployee ties.
For our efforts to build and nurture a skilled workforce,
ICON was named one of the Best Companies to Work
for in Asia 2014 by HR Asia.

BOLSTERING OUR MARKETPLACE


As a key OSV player in the region, we are deeply
committed to strengthening the skills and calibre of
ICONs offshore mariners as well as to developing highly
skilled and qualified personnel for the OSV industry. We
are achieving this through the activities of Icon Maritime
Training Centre Sdn Bhd (IMTC), which offers specialised
training and career development programmes to
seafarers working in the OSV industry.
In March 2014, ICON participated in the inaugural
Offshore Technology Conference Asia (OTC Asia), a
platform for energy professionals to exchange ideas
and opinions to advance scientific and technical
knowledge for offshore resources and environmental
matters. The 2014 OTC Asia event attracted some
25,100 industry professionals representing 88 countries
and 98 nationalities as well as featured an exhibition
showcasing the products and services of more than 240

which we invited our clients and shared our experiences
and expertise with them.
SAFEGUARDING THE ENVIRONMENT
We have high regard for the environment and undertake
best practices that ensure the viability of our operations
for the long-term. Our efforts encompass internal and
external environmental protection activities, pollution
preventive measures as well as energy saving initiatives.
As part of our efforts to reduce our carbon footprint,
we monitor the fuel consumption of all our vessels by
means of a daily fuel consumption analysis and have
invested in diesel electric technology to ensure low
diesel consumption. Our Tanjung Piai 1 and Tanjung
Piai 2 PSV are utilising such technology to reduce their
carbon footprint.
We also proactively take steps to ensure that used
engine oil is sent to and contained at an approved or
recognised shore reception facility, as well as ensure
proper segregation of garbage disposal on board our
vessels.

ICON MARITIME TRAINING CENTRE

Icon Maritime Training Centre Sdn Bhd (IMTC),


was set up to strengthen the skills and calibre
of ICONs offshore mariners as well as to
produce highly skilled and qualified personnel
for the OSV industry.
HELPING DEVELOP A HIGHLY SKILLED OSV WORKFORCE
IMTCs vision is to be the preferred training provider in the
region offering highly specialised training programmes
for the OSV industry. Its mission is to develop highly
skilled human capital for the OSV industry through
customised training programmes; as well as to deliver
industry-specialised training and career development
programmes to seafarers working in the OSV industry.
COMPETENCY TRAINING FOR ALL OSV CREW
IMTC aims to enhance the skills of all crew working on
offshore vessels through a continuous learning process.
The training centre is also looking to close the skills
gap between conventional mariners and oil and gas
offshore mariners by developing specific competency
modules and through providing the necessary training
to enable mariners to operate efficiently and safely
at sea.
Its primary training modules broadly cover the following
areas; enhanced navigational skill for masters and senior
officers, enhanced operational skill in OSV operations for
masters and senior officers and enhanced skills in OSV
operations for junior officers and deck ratings.
Through these modules, OSV seafarers become more
aware about applying proper and safe procedures
when carrying out various OSV operations in accordance
with international and industry standards/guidelines.
They also learn how to improve their ability to make
informed decisions which promote safety and security
which protect the marine environment. On top of this,
they are taught to identify operational problems and are
equipped with the relevant knowledge to solve these
issues. At the same time, the seafarers ability to plan and
coordinate actions during emergencies is enhanced.

IMTCs curriculum is closely connected to HSE


Management System and industrial best practices,
while its training sessions are developed and organised
in consultation with field experts and in line with
stakeholders feedback in order to address end-user
expectations.
MAKING STRONG INROADS ON THE OSV TRAINING FRONT
IMTC has been collaborating with the Malaysian Skills
Development Department also known as Jabatan
Pembangunan Kemahiran Malaysia to develop the
National Occupational Skill Standards (NOSS) for the
OSV industry. Through the intiative of IMTC, NOSS for our
OSV operation for SKM (Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia) Level 3
was developed and approved in September 2014.
On 17 March 2015, IMTC and Malaysian Maritime
Academy (ALAM) entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) to develop, produce, enhance
and implement a combined Standard of Training,
Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW), as well as
SKM Level 3 training for the local OSV industry. In
addition, IMTC and Generation Six Sdn Bhd (G6) signed
a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for the first
Integrated Computer-Based Training (CBT) programme
that was designed in accordance with the OSV skill
sets developed by IMTC. The CBT provides e-learning
platform that makes training more accessible and
convenient, which enables participants to learn at their
own pace and schedule.
As at March 2015, IMTC had trained 178 members of
ICONs internal crew.
Through its various programmes, IMTC is helping fulfilling
ICONs agenda of developing the next generation
of leaders organically. This agenda is in line with the
Governments aspiration to build a competitive and
highly skilled human capital for the OSV sector.

the issuance of documented terms of reference for

B.

Board Charter
The Board has adopted a formal charter which
is available in our corporate website. The Board
Charter (the Charter) was established to assist
the Board to provide strategic guidance to
our Company and effective oversight of its
Management, for the benefits of the shareholders
and other stakeholders. The Board is guided by
the Charter which provides reference for Directors
in relation to the Boards roles, powers, duties,
responsibilities and functions. It adopts principles
of good governance and is designed to maximise

currently consists of nine members of whom one of
the Board members is an Executive Director, one

Non-Executive
Directors and four are Independent Non-Executive
Directors. The Board composition complies with the
Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia that requires
at least two or one-third of the Board, whichever is
the higher, to be independent directors. The Board
has maintained its mix of Directors from diverse
professional background with a wide range of
experience and expertise in the field of business,
oil and gas industry, information technology,
economics, legal, finance and accounting. In
view of the size of the Group and its business
complexity, the Board is of the opinion that its
current composition and size remains optimum
and conducive for effective deliberations at
Board meetings.
The CEO, DCEO, COO and CFO are the Senior
Management of our Company, responsible for
the day-to-day management of operational and
financial matters of the Group, implementation
of the Groups policies and the Boards decisions,

James William Iler as the additional Independent
Non-Executive Directors further ensures existence of
a balance of power and authority bringing strong
independent element on the Board.
D. Independence
The Independent Non-Executive Directors are
independent of Management and free from
any business relationship which could materially
interfere with their independent and objective
judgement. Their presence ensures that issues of
strategies, performance and resources proposed
by the Management are objectively evaluated
and thus provide a capable check and balance
for the Executive Director.
The Board has adopted a Policy and Procedure
on Independence of Independent Directors
that describes how the Board will assess the
independence of each Independent Director.
In determining the independence of individual
Independent Directors, the Board will consider all
relevant information, facts and circumstances
and the assessment of the independence of its
Independent Directors is undertaken annually. Each
Director is also required to immediately disclose to
the Board if they have an interest or relationship
which is likely to impact on their independence
or if an Independent Director believes he may no
longer be independent.
From the recent assessment of the independence of
the Independent Directors, the Board was satisfied
that Datuk Wira Azhar bin Abdul Hamid, Edwanee
Cheah bin Abdullah, Madeline Lee May Ming, and
the newly appointed Datuk Abdullah bin Ahmad
and James William Iler are suitable and qualified to

REPORT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


We have audited the financial statements of Icon Offshore Berhad on pages 72 to 134, which comprise the statements
of financial position as at 31 December 2014 of the Group and the Company, and the statements of comprehensive
income, statements of changes in equity and statements of cash flows of the Group and of the Company for the year

Directors Responsibility for the Financial Statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of financial statements so as to give a true and fair
view in accordance with Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and
the requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia. The directors are also responsible for such internal control
as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with approved standards on auditing in Malaysia. Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are
free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including the assessment of risks of material
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider
internal control relevant to the entitys preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in order to
design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on
the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the directors, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of financial statements are set out below. These
policies have been consistently applied to all the financial years presented, unless otherwise stated.
2.1 Basis of preparation
The financial statements of the Group and of the Company have been prepared in accordance with
Malaysian Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS), International Financial Reporting Standards and the
requirements of the Companies Act, 1965 in Malaysia.
The financial statements of the Group and the Company have been prepared under the historical cost
convention unless otherwise indicated in the accounting policies below and are presented in Ringgit
Malaysia (RM). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with MFRS requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reported financial year. It also requires the Directors to exercise their
judgement in the process of applying the Companys accounting policies. Although these estimates and
judgement are based on the Directors best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may
differ. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the financial statements are disclosed in Note 3.

2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.1 Basis of preparation (continued)
Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable
to the Group and the Company but not yet effective: (continued)
The initial application of the abovementioned accounting standards and amendments to published
standards are not expected to have any material impacts to the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company except as mentioned below:

Amendment to MFRS 11 Joint arrangements (effective from 1 January 2016) requires an investor to
apply the principles of MFRS 3 Business Combination when it acquires an interest in a joint operation
that constitutes a business. The amendments are applicable to both the acquisition of the initial interest
in a joint operation and the acquisition of additional interest in the same joint operation. However, a
previously held interest is not re-measured when the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint
operation results in retaining joint control.

Amendments to MFRS 116 Property, plant and equipment and MFRS 138 Intangible assets (effective
from 1 January 2016) clarify that the use of revenue-based methods to calculate the depreciation and
amortisation of an item of property, plant and equipment and intangible are not appropriate. This is
because revenue generated by an activity that includes the use of an asset generally reflects factors
other than the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in the asset.
The amendments to MFRS 138 also clarify that revenue is generally presumed to be an inappropriate
basis for measuring the consumption of the economic benefits embodied in an intangible asset. This
presumption can be overcome only in the limited circumstances where the intangible asset is expressed
as a measure of revenue or where it can be demonstrated that revenue and the consumption of the
economic benefits of the intangible asset are highly correlated.

Amendments to MFRS 10 and MFRS 128 regarding sale or contribution of assets between an investor and
its associate or joint venture (effective from 1 January 2016) resolve a current inconsistency between
MFRS 10 and MFRS 128. The accounting treatment depends on whether the non-monetary assets sold or
contributed to an associate or joint venture constitute a business. Full gain or loss shall be recognised
by the investor where the non-monetary assets constitute a business. If the assets do not meet the
definition of a business, the gain or loss is recognised by the investor to the extent of the other investors
interests. The amendments will only apply when an investor sells or contributes assets to its associate or
joint venture. They are not intended to address accounting for the sale or contribution of assets by an
investor in a joint operation.

Standards, amendments to published standards and interpretations to existing standards that are applicable
to the Group and the Company but not yet effective: (continued)
The initial application of the abovementioned accounting standards and amendments to published
standards are not expected to have any material impacts to the financial statements of the Group and of
the Company except as mentioned below: (continued)

MFRS 9 Financial Instruments (effective from 1 January 2018) will replace MFRS 139 Financial Instruments:
Recognition and Measurement. The complete version of MFRS 9 was issued in November 2014.
MFRS 9 retains but simplifies the mixed measurement model in MFRS 139 and establishes three primary
measurement categories for financial assets: amortised cost, fair value through profit or loss and fair
value through other comprehensive income (OCI). The basis of classification depends on the entitys
business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset. Investments in equity
instruments are always measured at fair value through profit or loss with a irrevocable option at inception
to present changes in fair value in OCI (provided the instrument is not held for trading). A debt instrument
is measured at amortised cost only if the entity is holding it to collect contractual cash flows and the cash
flows represent principal and interest.
F or liabilities, the standard retains most of the MFRS 139 requirements. These include amortised cost
accounting for most financial liabilities, with bifurcation of embedded derivatives. The main change is
that, in cases where the fair value option is taken for financial liabilities, the part of a fair value change
due to an entitys own credit risk is recorded in other comprehensive income rather than the income
statement, unless this creates an accounting mismatch.
There is now a new expected credit losses model on impairment for all financial assets that replaces the
incurred loss impairment model used in MFRS 139. The expected credit losses model is forward-looking
and eliminates the need for a trigger event to have occurred before credit losses are recognised.

MFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers (effective from 1 Jan 2017) deals with revenue
recognition and establishes principles for reporting useful information to users of financial statements
about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entitys
contracts with customers. Revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of a good or service
and thus has the ability to direct the use and obtain the benefits from the good or service. The standard
replaces MFRS 118 Revenue and MFRS 111 Construction contracts and related interpretations.

2.2 Basis of consolidation
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) over which the Group has control. The Group
controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with
the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully
consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from
the date that control ceases.
The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration
transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred
to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration
transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration
arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business
combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognises any
non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at
the non-controlling interests proportionate share of the recognised amounts of acquirees identifiable
net assets.
Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirers
previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the successive acquisition
dates at each stage, and the changes in fair value taken through profit or loss.
Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income of the subsidiaries are attributed
to the parent and the non-controlling interest, even if this results in the non-controlling interest having a
deficit balance.
Goodwill is initially measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the
fair value of non-controlling interest over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If
this consideration is lower than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference
is recognised in profit or loss. Refer to Note 2.7 on the accounting policy for goodwill.
Inter-company transactions, balances, income and expenses on transactions between group companies
are eliminated. Profits and losses resulting from inter-company transactions that are recognised in assets
are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure
consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

2.2 Basis of consolidation (continued)
(ii) Joint arrangements

A joint arrangement is an arrangement of which there is contractually agreed sharing of control by


the Group with one or more parties, where decisions about the relevant activities relating to the joint
arrangement require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The classification of a joint
arrangement as a joint operation or a joint venture depends upon the rights and obligations of the
parties to the arrangement. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the joint venturers have rights
to the net assets of the arrangement. A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the joint operators
have rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.

The Groups interest in a joint venture is accounted for in the financial statements by the equity method
of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, interests in joint ventures are initially recognised
at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Groups share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and
movements in other comprehensive income. When the Groups share of losses in a joint venture equals or
exceeds its interests in the joint ventures (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form
part of the Groups net investment in the joint ventures), the Group does not recognise further losses,
unless it has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.

Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent
of the Groups interest in the joint ventures. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction
provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures
have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

(iii) Transaction with non-controlling interests


Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity
transactions that is, as transactions with the owners in their capacity as owners. The difference between
fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets
of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains or losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also
recorded in equity.
(iv) Change in control
Upon the loss of control of a subsidiary, the Group derecognises the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary,
any non-controlling interests and the other component of equity related to the subsidiary. Any surplus or
deficit arising on the loss of control is recognised in profit or loss.
If the Group retains any interest in the subsidiary, then such interest is measured at the fair value at the
date the control is lost. Subsequently the subsidiary is accounted for as equity accounted investee or
available for sale financial asset depending on the level of influence retained.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.3 Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially stated at cost. Cost includes its purchase price and any cost that
is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of
operating in the manner intended by management. Cost also includes borrowing costs that are directly
attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. Refer to Note 2.22 on the
accounting policy for borrowing costs.
The cost of property, plant and equipment recognised as a result of a business combination is based on fair
value at acquisition date. The fair value of property is the estimated amount for which a property could be
exchanged between knowledgeable willing parties in an arms length transaction wherein the parties had
each acted knowledgeably and without compulsion. The fair value of other items of plant and equipment is
based on the quoted market prices of similar items when available and replacement cost where appropriate.
Subsequent costs are included in the assets carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as
appropriate, only when the cost is incurred and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with
the cost will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of
parts that are replaced is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance of property, plant and equipment
are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Cost also comprises the initial estimate of dismantling and removing
the asset and restoring the site on which it is located for which the Group is obligated to incur when the asset
is acquired, if applicable.
Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost
of the asset and which has a different useful life, is depreciated separately.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis to allocate the cost of each asset to
their residual values over their estimated useful lives, summarised as follows:
Vessels
Vessel parts
Drydocking expenditure
Building
Motor vehicles
Office equipment
Computers
Furniture and fittings
Renovation

25 years
10 14 years
5 years
50 years
4 5 years
5 10 years
5 years
10 years
10 years

Depreciations on vessels under commissioning and work in progress commence when the vessels are ready
for their intended use.
Drydocking expenditure represents major inspection and overhaul costs and are depreciated to reflect the
consumption of benefits, which are to be replaced or restored by the subsequent drydocking generally every
five years. The Group has included these drydocking costs as a separate component of the vessels costs.
The residual values, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at each financial year end to ensure
that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the
expected pattern of consumption of the future economic benefits embodied in the items of property, plant
and equipment.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If
such indications exist, an analysis is performed to assess whether the carrying amount of the asset is fully
recoverable. A write down is made if the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount (see accounting
policy Note 2.4).

2.4 Impairment of non-financial assets
Assets that have an indefinite useful life, for example goodwill or intangible, are not subject to amortisation
and are tested annually for impairment. Assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its
recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assets fair value less costs to sell and valuein-use (VIU). For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there
are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that
suffered impairment are reviewed for possible reversal of the impairment at each reporting date.
The impairment loss is charged to profit or loss unless it reverses a previous revaluation in which case it is
charged to the revaluation surplus reserve. Impairment losses on goodwill are not reversed. In respect of
other assets, any subsequent increase in recoverable amount is recognised in profit or loss unless it reverses an
impairment loss on a revalued asset in which case it is taken to revaluation surplus reserve.
2.5 Assets held for sale
Non-current assets (or disposal groups) are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to
be recovered principally through a sale transaction and a sale is considered highly probable. They are stated
at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
2.6 Leases
(i) Finance leases
Leases of property, plant and equipment where the Group has substantially all the risks and rewards of
ownership are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalised at the leases commencement
at the lower of the fair value of the leased property and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Each lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance charges so as to achieve a constant
rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. The corresponding rental obligations, net of
finance charges, are included in other long-term payables. The interest element of the finance cost is
charged to profit or loss over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the
remaining balance of the liability for each financial period. The property, plant and equipment acquired
under finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term.
(ii) Operating leases
Leases of assets where a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the
lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases (net of any incentives
received from the lessor) are charged to profit or loss on the straight-line basis over the lease period. Initial
direct costs incurred by the Group in negotiating and arranging operating leases are recognised in profit
or loss when incurred.

2.7 Intangible assets
(i) Goodwill
Goodwill arises on the acquisition of subsidiaries and represents the excess of the consideration transferred
over the Group interest in net fair value of the net identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of
the acquiree and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in the acquiree.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each
of the cash generating units (CGUs), or groups of CGUs, that are expected to benefit from the synergies
of the combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest
level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is
monitored at the operating segment level.
Goodwill impairment reviews are undertaken annually or more frequently if events or changes in
circumstances indicate a potential impairment. The carrying value of goodwill is compared to the
recoverable amount, which is the higher of value-in-use and the fair value less costs to sell. Any impairment
is recognised immediately as an expense and is not subsequently reversed.
(ii) Acquired charter contracts
Charter contracts acquired in a business combination are recognised at fair value at the acquisition
date. Charter contracts have a finite useful life and amortisation is calculated using the straightline method to allocate the fair value of the contract over their contract periods which range from
1 to 4 years.
2.8 Cash and cash equivalents
For the purpose of the statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, bank
balances, deposits held at call with banks less restricted cash, other short-term, highly liquid investments with
original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts.
2.9 Inventories
Inventories represent fuel on vessels which are valued at lower of cost or net realisable value. Cost is
determined based on the first-in, first-out method for fuel oil. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price
in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

2.10 Financial assets
(i) Classification
The Group and the Company classify their financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through
profit or loss, loans and receivables, available-for-sale and held to maturity. The classification depends on
the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired. Management determines the classification at
initial recognition. The Groups and the Companys financial assets are loans and receivables.
Loans and receivables
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are
not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than
twelve (12) months after the end of the reporting period. These are classified as non-current assets. The
Groups and the Companys loans and receivables comprise receivables and cash and bank balances
in the statements of financial position.
(ii) Recognition and initial measurement
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried
at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially
recognised at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the profit or loss.
(iii) Subsequent measurement gains and losses
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently
carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective
interest method.
(iv) Subsequent measurement impairment of financial assets
Assets carried at amortised cost
The Group and the Company assess at the end of the reporting period whether there is objective
evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of
financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred only if there is objective evidence of
impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a
loss event) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the
financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

2.10 Financial assets (continued)
(iv) Subsequent measurement impairment of financial assets (continued)
Assets carried at amortised cost (continued)
The criteria that the Group and the Company use to determine that there is objective evidence of an
impairment loss include:





Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or obligor;


A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments;
The Group and the Company, for economic or legal reasons relating to the borrowers financial
difficulty, granting to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;
It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
Disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties; or
Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows
from a portfolio of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease
cannot yet be identified with the individual financial assets in the portfolio, including:
(a) adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the portfolio; and
(b) national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the portfolio.

The amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and the
present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred)
discounted at the financial assets original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset
is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognised in profit or loss. If loans and receivables have a
variable rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment losses is the current effective interest rate
determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group and the Company may measure
impairment on the basis of an instruments fair value using an observable market price.
If in a subsequent financial year, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be
related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised (such as an improvement
in the customers credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognised impairment loss is recognised in
profit or loss.
When an asset is uncollectible, it is written off against the related allowance account. Such assets are
written off after all the necessary procedures have been completed and the amount of the loss has
been determined.
(v) Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have
expired or have been transferred and the Group and the Company have transferred substantially all risks
and rewards of ownership.

2.11 Offsetting financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statements of financial position
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle
on a net basis, or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
2.12 Current and deferred income tax
The tax expense for the financial year comprises current and deferred taxes. Tax is recognised in the profit
or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in
equity.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted
at the reporting date in the countries where the Group and the Company operate and generate taxable
income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which
applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation. It establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis
of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities.
Deferred income tax is recognised, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between
the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements.
However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a
transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting
nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related
deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income taxes assets and liabilities relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable
entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis.
2.13 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group and the Company have a present legal or constructive obligation
as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation
and a reliable estimate of the amount can be made.
Where the Group and the Company expect a provision to be reimbursed (for example, under an insurance
contract), the reimbursement is recognised as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually
certain.
Where there are a number of similar obligations, the likelihood that an outflow will be required in settlement is
determined by considering the class of obligations as a whole. A provision is recognised even if the likelihood
of an outflow with respect to any one item included in the same class of obligations may be small.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.13 Provisions (continued)
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the
obligation using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and
the risks specific to the obligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as
finance cost expense.
2.14 Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently
carried at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds from drawdown (net of transaction costs)
amount and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.
Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent
that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the
draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be
drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of
the facility to which it relates.
2.15 Compound financial instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Group and the Company comprises Islamic Redeemable
Convertible Preference Shares (RCPS-i) that can be converted to share capital at the option of the holder,
and the number of shares issued does not vary with changes in fair value. The terms of the RCPS-i are disclosed
in Note 24.
The liability component of a compound financial instrument is recognised initially at the fair value of a similar
liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is recognised initially at the
difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of
the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction cost is allocated to the liability and equity
components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured
at amortised cost using the effective interest method until extinguished on conversion or maturity of the
compound instrument. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not re-measured
subsequent to initial recognition except when the compound instrument is redeemed or repurchased before
maturity.
Upon conversion of the convertible instrument into equity shares, the amount credited to equity is the
aggregate of the carrying amounts of the liability components classified within liability and equity at the time
of conversion. No gain or loss is recognised.

2.16 Employee benefits
(i) Short-term employee benefits
Salaries, overtime and social security contributions are recognised as an expense in the financial year in
which the associated services are rendered by employees of the Group and the Company.
(ii) Defined contribution plans
The Group and the Company make contributions to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) as required
by law in Malaysia. Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an
expense in the profit or loss as incurred.
2.17 Share capital
Ordinary shares are recorded at the nominal value and proceeds in excess as the nominal value of shares
issued, if any, are accounted for as share premium, if any. Both ordinary shares and share premiums are
classified as equity. Transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity,
net of any related income tax benefit.
Preference share capital is classified as equity if they are non-redeemable, or redeemable but only at the
Companys option, and any dividends are discretionary.
Distribution to holders of a financial instrument classified as an equity instrument is charged directly to equity.
2.18 Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of
business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year
or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current
liabilities. Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost
using the effective interest method.
2.19 Foreign currency
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Groups entities are measured using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency).
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Ringgit Malaysia (RM), which is the Groups and
the Companys functional and presentation currency.

2.19 Foreign currency (continued)
(ii) Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates
prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange
gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end
exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in
profit or loss, except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and
qualifying net investment hedges.
2.20 Revenue recognition
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of discounts and
rebates.
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the
transaction will flow to the Group and the amount of revenue and the cost incurred or to be incurred in
respect of the transaction can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be
met before revenue is recognised:
Chartering and hiring of vessels
Charter hire income from vessels is recognised upon rendering of services to customers, over the term of
the charter hire contract. For income from the hire of third party vessels, it is assessed whether the Group is
acting as a principal or an agent. Where it has been assessed that the Group is acting as an agent, income
is recognised net of charter costs.
Other revenue
Other revenue is recognised when services are rendered.
2.21 Interest income
The Group and the Company earn interest income from deposits placed with licensed banks. Interest income
is recognised on an accrual basis.
2.22 Borrowing costs
General and specific borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset is capitalised as part of the cost of the asset until when substantially all the
activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete, after which such expense
is charged to profit or loss. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to
get ready for its intended use or sale. Capitalisation of borrowing cost is suspended during extended periods
in which active development is interrupted.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)


2.22 Borrowing costs (continued)
The amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation is the actual borrowing costs incurred on the
borrowing during the period less any investment income on the temporary investment of the borrowing.
All other borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the financial year in which they are incurred.
2.23 Prepayments
Prepayments are amounts paid in advance for goods or services yet to be received. Prepayments are
recognised as an expense in profit or loss when the goods or services are subsequently received.
2.24 Segment reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the key
management. The chief operating decision maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing
performance on operating segments, has been identified as the Executive Committee that makes strategic
decisions.
2.25 Contingent liabilities and assets
The Group does not recognise a contingent liability but discloses its existence in the financial statements.
A contingent liability is a possible obligation that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed
by uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group or a present obligation that is not recognised
because it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation. A contingent
liability also arises in the extremely rare circumstances where there is a liability that cannot be recognised
because it cannot be measured reliably.
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events whose existence will be confirmed by
uncertain future events beyond the control of the Group. The Group discloses the existence of contingent
assets where inflows of economic benefits are probable, but not virtually certain.
2.26 Earnings per share
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share for its ordinary shares (EPS).
Basic earnings per share of the Group is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity holders
of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the financial year.
Diluted earnings per share of the Group is calculated by adjusting the profit attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the Company and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion
of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS


Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors,
including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by
definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are
addressed below.
Key assumptions and sources of estimation uncertainty
The following are key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources estimation of uncertainty at the
end of the reporting period that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts
of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
(i) Impairment of goodwill
The Group tests goodwill for impairment annually in accordance with its accounting policy in Note 2.7.
For the purposes of assessing impairment, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units that are expected to
benefit from the future earnings of the business activities in which the goodwill arose.
Significant judgement is required in the estimation of the present value of future cash flows generated by
the cash-generating units, which involve uncertainties and are significantly affected by assumptions used
and judgement made regarding estimates of future cash flows and discount rates. Changes in assumptions
could significantly affect the results of the Group with impairment of goodwill. The key assumptions used are
disclosed in Note 14.
(ii) Useful lives and residual value of property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives after
deducting its residual value. Management exercises their judgement in estimating the useful lives and the
residual value of the depreciable assets. The Group assesses annually the useful lives and the residual value of
the property, plant and equipment and if the expectation differs from the original estimate, such difference
will impact the depreciation in the financial year in which such estimate has been charged.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS (CONTINUED)


Key assumptions and sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)
(iii) Impairment of receivables
At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that receivables have been
impaired. Potential impairment loss is derived based on a review of the current status of existing receivables
and collection track record. Such provisions are adjusted periodically to reflect the actual and anticipated
impairment.
(iv) Impairment review of carrying value of vessels
The Group reviews periodically whether vessels have suffered any impairment in accordance with the
accounting policy stated in Note 2.4. The recoverable amounts of each vessel, being defined as a cash
generating unit, have been determined based on the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its VIU. For VIU
calculations, the future cash flows are based on contracted cash flows and estimates of uncontracted cash
flows for the useful lives of each vessel, including scrap values discounted by an appropriate discount rate.
In cases where fair value less cost to sell is used to determine the recoverable amount of the vessel, valuation
were performed by an independent valuer using the market approach, based on recent market transaction
of vessels of similar type and age. The valuation technique is therefore classified as level 2 measurement of
the fair value hierarchy.
The impairment testing for cash generating units requires estimates and judgement to determine the net
present value of future cash flows such as revenue growth, cost escalation and utilisation rates based on
historical trends among others. Discount rate used is based on our industry average that varies over time.
As at 31 December 2014, Management have evaluated the carrying amounts of vessels against their
recoverable amounts based on approved business strategies and budget as well as fleet expansion and
rejuvenation plan. Based on Managements assessment, for financial year ended 31 December 2014, there
is no impairment recognised on vessels with indications of impairment.

(v) Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unutilised tax losses and unutilised capital allowances to the extent
that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses and capital allowances can
be utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets
that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits together with future
tax planning strategies.
Assumptions about generation of future taxable profits depend on Managements estimates of future
profitability. These depend on estimates of future revenue, operating costs, capital expenditure, and other
working capital transactions. Judgement is also required on the application of income tax legislation. These
judgements and assumptions are subject to risks and uncertainty, hence there is a possibility that changes in
circumstances will alter expectations, which may impact the amount of deferred tax assets recognised in the
statements of financial position and the amount of unrecognised tax losses and capital allowances.

FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT


The Groups and the Companys overall financial risk management focuses on the unpredictability of financial
markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group and the
Company. Financial risk management is carried out through risk reviews, internal control systems and adherence
to the Groups and the Companys financial risk management policies. The Directors of the Group and the
Company regularly review these risks and approve the policies, which cover the management of these risks.
The Group and the Company are exposed to credit and counterparty risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, foreign
currency exchange risk and capital risk management.
(i) Credit and counterparty risk
Credit risk arises when sales are made on credit terms. Customers are subject to credit checks and
outstanding accounts are followed up on a timely basis. Credit risk concentration is monitored by monitoring
the performance of our customers and actively engaging with customers to ensure payments are settled on
time.
Most contracts are on a long-term basis. The Group is exposed to the risk that the financial position of its
customers may change during the contracted period and that they will not be able to meet its obligations
under the terms of the contract. Given the limited number of major customers and the significant portion they
represent of revenue, the inability by one or more of the Groups major customers to make full payment on any
of its contracts may have a material adverse effect on the financial position. To mitigate this risk, credit quality
of potential customers is assessed by taking into account their current financial position, past experience
and other factors before entering into a contract. This evaluation includes a thorough examination of the
counterpartys default rates as well as their credit quality. Outstanding receivables are closely monitored in
order to pursue full recovery.
The credit quality of financial assets that are not impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit
ratings (if available) or to historical information about counterparty default rates:

(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group and the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting financial obligations
due to shortage of funds. The Group and the Company carry out monthly cash flows review for the next six (6)
months to ensure that the business operations have sufficient funds available to meet its obligations as and
when they fall due. Historically, treasury management has proven that the Group and the Company have the
ability to meet its obligations as and when they fall due and the Group and the Company have not defaulted
on any obligations due or payable to financial institutions or creditors.

(iii) Interest rate risk


Interest rate risk arises from fluctuations in interest rates. Bank borrowings consist of variable rate debt
obligations linked to applicable bank rates. Bank rates are typically reviewed and adjusted periodically
in accordance with prevailing interest rates. Increases in interest rates would increase interest expenses
relating to the Groups outstanding floating rate borrowings and increase the cost of new debt. Interest rates
applicable to borrowings are regularly reviewed against the prevailing and anticipated market interest rates
in order to determine if refinancing or early repayment is warranted. The table below sets forth the carrying
amounts of borrowings, by floating interest rate terms.

forward contracts for USD in order to manage their exposure to fluctuations in the exchange rate between

(v) Capital risk management


The Group and the Company regard capital as share capital, borrowings and retained earnings as presented
in the statements of financial position. The Groups and the Companys objectives when managing capital
are to safeguard the Groups and the Companys ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide
returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to
reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group and the Company may return capital to
shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group and the Company monitor capital
on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total equity. Net debt is
calculated as total borrowings (including current and non-current borrowings as shown in the statements of
financial position) less cash and bank balances. Total equity is calculated as shareholders equity as shown in
the statements of financial position.

Acquired charter contracts
Amortisation of acquired charter contracts is included in other expenses in the statements of comprehensive
income.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets of acquisitions of its
subsidiaries during the financial year ended 31 December 2012.
The goodwill acquired is reviewed for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying value may be impaired. For impairment testing purposes, goodwill is monitored by
management based on a group of CGUs which represent the Groups overall ship operation business.
The Group is expected to benefit from the synergies of the acquisitions and streamlined organisation resulting in
cost efficiencies in the areas of procurement, crewing, chartering and shared services functions.
The recoverable amount of the Groups CGUs has been determined based on VIU calculations. The VIU calculations
apply a discounted cash flow model using cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the
Directors and forecast covering a 5 years period and applying a terminal value multiple using longer-term
sustainable growth rates as stated below.
The key assumptions used in the VIU calculations are as follows:
2014 2013
Terminal growth rate
3.0%
Discount rate
12.5%

3.0%
13.9%

The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the CGUs. The discount rates applied
to the cash flow projections are derived from the cost of capital plus a reasonable risk premium at the date of
assessment of the CGUs. Management determined budgeted vessel utilisation rates based on past performance
and its expectation of market development. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with forecasts
included in industry reports.
Sensitivity to changes in assumptions
Changing the assumptions selected by Management could significantly affect the Groups results. The Groups
review includes the sensitivity of key assumptions to the cash flow projections.
Management is of the view that no impairment loss is required during the financial year as the recoverable amount
is in excess of the carrying amount by RM1,657,741. The circumstances where a reasonable possible change in key
assumptions will result in the recoverable amounts of the CGUs to equal the corresponding carrying values, having
incorporated the consequential effects on other variables, are as follows:
2014 2013
Terminal growth rate
2.9%
Discount rate
12.5%

The table below shows the carrying amounts and fair value of the borrowings, by valuation method. The different
levels have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either
directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
The fair value of the borrowings are estimated using the income approach, by discounting the cash flows based
on the market interest rates of a comparable instrument. This is a Level 2 fair value measurement.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
ADJUSTMENTS TO SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Group presents selected adjusted financial information of the Group consolidated statements of comprehensive
income for the financial year ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2013, adjusting for certain exceptional items
in line with the Groups prospectus dated 30 May 2014 in relation to our Companys initial public offering (Prospectus),
as described below (Adjustments) which arose as a result of the following events:
1.

the acquisition of Icon Ship Management Sdn Bhd (ICON Ship) which was completed on 20 July 2012 and the
acquisition of Icon Fleet Sdn Bhd (ICON Fleet) which was completed on 28 September 2012; and

2.

the strategic consolidation of ICON Ship and ICON Fleet and review of our business plan in consequence of the
strategic consolidation.

This section is to provide a better and fairer understanding of our financial performance as well as the trends relating
thereto, and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus.
(i) Adjustments relating to the acquisition of ICON Ship and ICON Fleet
(a) Amortisation of intangible assets relating to acquired charter contracts
The Company is required to recognise all the identifiable assets and liabilities of ICON Fleet and ICON Ship,
based on a purchase price allocation exercise as at the acquisition date of the acquisition of ICON Ship and
acquisition of ICON Fleet. The purchase price allocation exercise includes measurement of the assets and
liabilities that were not previously recognised by ICON Ship and ICON Fleet such as intangible assets and also
to measure the identifiable assets and liabilities at their respective fair values.
Based on the purchase price allocation exercise for the acquisition of ICON Ship and ICON Fleet, the charter
contracts of ICON Ship and ICON Fleet have been separately identified and measured at fair value, and have
also been recognised as intangible assets on the respective acquisition dates. The fair value of the charter
contracts is the present value of the net cash flows from the remaining contract period of the respective
charter contracts as at the acquisition date after deducting the corresponding estimated operation costs.
The acquired charter contracts have a finite useful life and the recognised fair value of these contracts is
required to be amortised using a straight-line method over the remaining contract periods which range from
one year to four years from acquisition date.
The Group do not expect to recognise additional intangible assets pursuant to these acquisitions. Also, given
that the acquired charter contracts have a finite useful life, the carrying amount of the intangible assets
relating to the acquired charter contracts of RM3.1 million as at 31 December 2014 is expected to be fully
amortised by the fourth quarter of financial year ending 31 December 2015.
(b) RCPS-i profit rate
The RCPS-i were issued after the completion of the acquisition of ICON Ship and according to the terms of
the RCPS-i, the RCPS-i will only be redeemed at 110% of its issue price if our Companys IPO does not happen
within two years from the date of issuance. In other words, the actual RCPS-i profit rate will only be payable
in the event the RCPS-i are redeemed. Since all the RCPS-i were mandatorily converted into our shares on 23
May 2014 following the receipt of all relevant authorities approvals for our IPO, the profit rate on the RCPS-i
was not payable in cash.
The accrued amount of the RCPS-i profit rate recognised in our financial statements has been reversed and
reclassified to equity following the conversion of all the RCPS-i into ordinary shares on 23 May 2014.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION

ADJUSTMENTS TO SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION (CONTINUED)

This section is to provide a better and fairer understanding of our financial performance as well as the trends relating
thereto, and should be read in conjunction with the Prospectus. (continued)
(ii) Adjustments relating to the strategic consolidation and subsequent review of the Group business plan.
In consequent of the strategic consolidation, the Group undertook an overall review of our fleet whereupon the
Group decided to focus on newer and higher specification Offshore Supply Vessels (OSV) (being vessels with at
least 5,000 BHP and above, and/or equipped with at least a Dynamic Positioning Class Two (DP 2) system) which
led to the divestment of our non-OSV, lower specification and older OSVs as well as an impairment assessment of
these vessels and their related assets where an analysis was performed to assess whether the carrying amounts of
these vessels and their related assets are higher or lower than their recoverable amount as follows:
(a) Gain on disposal of vessels
For the current financial year ended 31 December 2014, the Group had disposed two lower specification
vessel which gave rise to a net gain on disposal of RM4.7 million. In the financial year ended 31 December
2013, the Group had disposed one non-OSV vessel and one AHT vessel which gave rise to a net gain on
disposal of RM1.3 million. The tax impact on the proceed on disposal of these vessels amounted to
RM3.1 million in the financial year ended 31 December 2014 as compared to RM14.4 million in the financial
year ended 31 December 2013.
(b) Impairment of assets
The Group recognised an impairment of RM48.7 million in the financial year ended 31 December 2013 for the
impairment of seven OSVs and well testing equipments.
(iii) IPO Related Expenses
During the current financial year ended 31 December 2014, the Group incurred IPO related expenses
amounted to RM14.6 million and the Group utilised RM124.0 million of the IPO proceeds for repayment of
bank borrowings where the transaction cost of the respective borrowings were written off in accordance with
accounting standards.
