AWILCO LNG ASA ANNUAL REPORT 2020
AWILCO LNG ASA ANNUAL REPORT 2020
The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost include trade
receivables.
ii. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
The category includes financial assets held for trading,
financial assets designated upon initial recognition at fair
value through profit or loss, or financial assets mandatorily
required to be measured at fair value. Financial assets
are classified as held for trading if they are acquired for
the purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.
Derivatives, including separated embedded derivatives, are
also classified as held for trading unless they are designated
as effective hedging instruments. Financial assets with cash
flows that are not solely payments of principal and interest
are classified and measured at fair value through profit or
loss, irrespective of the business model. Notwithstanding the
criteria for debt instruments to be classified at amortised
cost as described above, debt instruments may be designated
at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition if
doing so eliminates, or significantly reduces, an accounting
mismatch. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
are carried in the statement of financial position at fair value
with net changes in fair value recognised in the statement of
profit or loss. This category includes derivative instruments
and listed equity investments. Dividends on listed equity
investments are also recognised as other income in the
statement of profit or loss when the right of payment has been
established.
Derecognition: A financial asset is primarily derecognised (i.e.,
removed from the Group’s consolidated statement of financial
position) when either i) The rights to receive cash flows from
the asset have expired or ii) the Group has transferred its
rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed
an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without
material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’
arrangement; and either (a) the Group has transferred
substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b)
the Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially
all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred
control of the asset. When the Group has transferred its rights
to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a
pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if, and to what extent,
it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it
has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the
risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the
asset, the Group continues to recognise the transferred asset
to the extent of its continuing involvement. In that case, the
Group also recognises an associated liability. The transferred
asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis
that reflects the rights and obligations that the Group has
retained. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a
guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower
of the original carrying amount of the asset and the maximum
amount of consideration that the Group could be required to
repay.
Impairment of financial assets: The Group recognises an
allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt
instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss.
ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual
cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the
cash flows that the Group expects to receive, discounted at
an approximation of the original effective interest rate. The
expected cash flows will include cash flows from the sale of
collateral held or other credit enhancements that are integral
to the contractual terms. ECLs are recognised in two stages.
For credit exposures for which there has not been a significant
increase in credit risk since initial recognition, ECLs are
provided for credit losses that result from default events
that are possible within the next 12-months (a 12-month
ECL). For those credit exposures for which there has been a
significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a
loss allowance is required for credit losses expected over the
remaining life of the exposure, irrespective of the timing of
the default (a lifetime ECL). For trade receivables and contract
assets, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating
ECLs. Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit
risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime
ECLs at each reporting date. The Group considers a financial
asset in default when contractual payments are 90 days past
due. However, in certain cases, the Group may also consider
a financial asset to be in default when internal or external
information indicates that the Group is unlikely to receive
the outstanding contractual amounts in full before taking
into account any credit enhancements held by the Group.
A financial asset is written off when there is no reasonable
expectation of recovering the contractual cash flows.
Financial liabilities
Initial recognition and measurement: Financial liabilities are
classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair
value through profit or loss, financial liabilities measured
at amortised cost or as derivatives designated as hedging
instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. All financial
liabilities are recognised initially at fair value and, in the case
of financial liabilities measured at amortised cost, net of
directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent measurement: The measurement of financial
liabilities depends on their classification, as described below:
i) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial
liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value
through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified as held
for trading if they are incurred for the purpose of repurchasing
in the near term. This category also includes derivative financial
instruments entered into by the Group that are not designated
as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by
IFRS 9. Separated embedded derivatives are also classified as
held for trading unless they are designated as effective hedging
instruments. Gains or losses on liabilities held for trading are
recognised in the statement of profit or loss. Financial liabilities
designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or
loss are designated at the initial date of recognition, and only if
the criteria in IFRS 9 are satisfied. The Group has not designated
any financial liability as at fair value through profit or loss.
ii) Financial liabilities measured at amortised cost: After
initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are
subsequently measured at amortised cost. Gains and losses are
recognised in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognised
as well as through the EIR amortisation process. Amortised cost
is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium
on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the
EIR. The EIR amortisation is included as finance costs in the
statement of profit or loss.
Derecognition: A financial liability is derecognised when the
obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or
expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another
from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the
terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such
an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of
the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The
difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognised in the
statement of profit or loss.
SHARE CAPITAL
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs
directly attributable to the issue of ordinary shares are
recognised as a deduction from equity, net of any tax effects.
Own equity instruments that are acquired (treasury shares) are
recognised at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is
recognised in the income statement on the purchase, sale, issue
or cancellation of the Group’s own equity instruments. Voting
rights relating to treasury shares are nullified and no dividends
are allocated to them.
DIVIDENDS
Dividend payments are recognised as a liability in the Group’s
financial statements from the date when the dividend is
approved by the General Meeting. A corresponding amount is
recognised directly towards equity.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Group presents basic and diluted earnings per share data
for its ordinary shares. Basic earnings per share is calculated by
dividing the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders
of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares outstanding during the year, adjusted for own shares
held. Diluted earnings per share is determined by adjusting
the profit or loss attributable to ordinary shareholders and
the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding,
adjusted for own shares held, for the effects of all dilutive
potential ordinary shares.
CASH FLOW STATEMENT
The cash flow statement is presented using the indirect method.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash represents cash on hand and deposits with banks that are
repayable on demand. Cash includes restricted employee taxes
withheld. Cash equivalents represent short term, highly liquid
investments which are readily convertible into known amounts
of cash with original maturities of three months or less.
SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group’s current business is operating LNG transportation
vessels. The potential market for the vessels is and will be
the international global LNG transportation market, and
the business will be exposed to the same risks and returns
wherever the vessels are employed. The Group’s internal
reporting does not distinguish between different segments, and
as the vessels are managed as one operating segment Awilco
LNG has only one reportable segment.
