Such payment is to be made regardless of the Losses incurred by the Sellers. The aforesaid liquidated damages are deemed due and payable on the first Business Day following the date of required payment of the Closing Amount which should have been made in accordance with Clause 7.2; provided, that the Purchaser shall pay the aforementioned liquidated damages on July 1, 2004 if the Closing has not taken place on or before June 30, 2004 solely due to the Purchaser not being able to pay the Closing Amount if all of the conditions set out in Clause 5 have been satisfied.  The Sellers are not entitled to make any claim for Losses in addition to the payment required under this Clause 9.5.5 with regard to the Purchaser’s non-ability to pay the Closing Amount and such payment shall be the Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy, except the Sellers’ right to enforce the waivers and obligations of the Purchaser contained in this Clause 9.5.5.

10.13.2               the Purchaser shall disclose to the relevant Seller all material of which the Purchaser is aware which relates to the claim and shall, and shall procure that any other relevant members of the Purchaser’s Group shall, give, all such information and assistance, including access to premises and personnel, and the

10.14.2               with respect to the settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim:  (a) if the Purchaser declines to accept a bona fide offer of settlement or compromise that is recommended by the Sellers, then the maximum liability of the Sellers for such Third Party Claim shall not exceed the amount for which the Sellers would have been liable had such settlement or compromise been accepted and (b) if the Sellers decline to accept a bona fide offer of settlement or compromise that is recommended by the Purchasers, then the Sellers shall be liable for whatever outcome results from such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the Sellers may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim without either the prior written consent of the Purchaser or a full and complete release of the Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties from any form of liability or obligation for any such Third Party Claim;

 

10.14.3               the Sellers shall have the right to assume and control the defense (but not the settlement) of any Third Party Claim, including the employment of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser; provided, however, that if the Sellers fail to respond or do not admit responsibility for any Third Party Claim, then the Purchaser may take such necessary and reasonable steps to defend the Third Party Claim and all reasonable fees, costs and expenses therewith, including reasonable attorney fees and expenses, may be included as part of any asserted Losses; and, provided, further, that if the Purchaser fails to respond to the Sellers’ written notices within thirty (30) days after receipt thereof, then the Sellers may take any reasonable and necessary action with respect to any Third Party Claim;

 

10.14.4               the Purchaser and the other Purchaser Indemnified Parties shall fully cooperate with the Sellers in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including, without limitation, (a) providing information to the Sellers regarding the Third Party Claim, (b) upon two (2) Business Days prior notice and during

13.                               Termination

 

Prior to the Closing, this Agreement can be terminated if any of the following occurs:

 

(i)                     The Parties mutually agree in writing to terminate this Agreement;

 

(ii)                  By either Party if the Closing has not taken place on or before June 30, 2004;

 

(iii)               By either Party if any applicable law or regulation makes consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby illegal or otherwise prohibited or if consummation of the transactions would violate any non-appealable final order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body having competent jurisdiction; or

 

(iv)              By either Party if a breach or default of any provisions of this Agreement has been committed by the other Party (including, without limitation, a breach of any representation or warranty of such other Party), which breach or default (a) has not been waived by the non-defaulting Party, (b) shall not have been cured by the defaulting Party within thirty (30) days following the defaulting Party’s awareness of such breach or default and (c) results in the occurrence of a Material Adverse Effect, but this shall not limit the Sellers’ right to terminate this Agreement if the Purchaser is in breach of Clause 9.5.2.

 

Any Party desiring to terminate this Agreement pursuant to subclauses (ii) through (iv) of this Clause 13 shall give written notice of such termination to the other Party hereto. If

 

31



 

this Agreement is terminated as permitted in this Clause 13, such termination shall be without liability of either Party (or any stockholder, director, officer, employee, agent, consultant or representative of such Party) to the other Party to this Agreement (as a result of such act of termination); provided, however, that if such termination shall result from the (a) willful failure of a Party to fulfill a material condition of this Agreement, (b) failure to perform a material covenant of this Agreement, or (c) breach by a Party of any material representation or warranty or agreement contained herein, such Party shall be liable for any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the other Party as a result of such failure or breach.  The Parties expressly agree that Clause 9.5.2 is a material representation and warranty.

 

The provisions of Clauses 9.5.5, 10, 12, 13, 14.2 through 14.8, 15 and 16 shall survive any termination pursuant to this Clause 13.  This Agreement cannot be terminated after the Closing Date.

Financial Statements

 

Attached audited consolidated Annual Report of Scanraff for the financial year ending December 31, 2002.

 



 

Information om Annual Reporting template

014212e AB-F-max.xls (version 2002-02-10)

 

This is a “complete version” of a year-end annual reporting package for individual companies (or a parent company of a subgroup which does not prepare consolidated financial statements) with income statements classified according to function in accordance to Swedish Annual Accounts Act.

 

Note! Users are advised to utilize the attached model at their own risk. KPMG is not responsible for its functionality in all respects. Clients who have acquired or in some other way received this template are advised to consult their in house accountants or confer with the nearest KPMG office.

 

The aim of this model is

                  to completely cover the basic requirements in identifying line items so that users need not add any additional categories in the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Cash Flow or Disclosures/Notes. However, additional rows may be required for inserting text information/comments as Disclosures/Notes.

                  to calculate totals and/or link items to their respective categories such as Statement of Cash Flows for example, so that users are not required to re-input the information.

                  to highlight any incorrect amounts or incomplete data which the user might have input.

                  to easily change the fiscal year reporting by using the macro.

                  to instruct the user that items that may not be relevant or in use can be manually edited. They are identified by a red symbol in column A. Items identified by a blue symbol in column B could be deleted completely without affecting the links within the template.

 

Techniques on using the model:

                  Input information only in the yellow shaded cells.

                  Text spread out in more than one row could be realigned to achieve a presentable layout by:

1) Inserting a few rows where the text is to be placed.

2) Writing the text regardless of the column width.

3) Highlighting the area where the text is intended.

4) Going to toolbar, under Edit scroll down to Fill and select Justify.

                  The appropriate way to use this model is to input information in the following order:

- Income Statement

-Balance Sheet

-Memorandum items

-Statement of Cash Flows

-Disclosures/Notes

-Administration Report

                  Rows not used should not be deleted but hidden by using the macro. Rows specifically intended for text purposes (e.g.. in Disclosures/Notes section) however could be deleted if required. They are identified by a blue symbol in the column B.

                  Notes are to be numbered manually and then linked to the relevant row item in the Income Statement and/or Balance Sheet.

                  When all the sections in this model have been completed and all vacant rows hidden, the report is ready to be printed. However, the report should be viewed in the print preview mode to check the

 



 

layout before printing.

                  Final adjustments can be made by inserting appropriate page-breaks in the notes. Start by printing out the “Annual Report”. Then complete the information (page number) on the worksheet “F-Page” before printing that page and the report.

 

Please note:

                  The Swedish Annual Account Act does not require comparative figures notes for the Balance Sheet items. However, inclusion of comparative figures are in practice.

                  The space between column A and B is reserved to insert a note number should it be required.

                  The template is protected but without a password.

                  To fully benefit from the model, a certain level of Excel experience is beneficial.

                  The year-change macro employs pre-defined selected cells thus if adjustments to the notes are made (not Excel’s built-in note function) for example addition, deletion or moving of notes, these predefined year-change macro may require editing.

                  The macros have been programmed in Excel version 4.0. However, some swedish versions of Excel 97 (release 2b) do not support Excel 4.0 codes; which may cause the macro to stop functioning.

 

Existing versions of this model

                  Maximum version models for groups, functional and type of expenditure income statements.

                  Maximum version models for individual companies, functional and type of expenditure income statements.

                  Mini version for smaller individual companies and cost center based income statements.

 

This model is based upon PCs running Excel on Windows as an operating platform.

Macintosh user are required to run special layout conversions.

 

Comments on the model may be sent to Göran Arnell, KPMG,

Administration Report

 

General information on the company and the business

Preem Petroleum AB owns 75 % of Scanraff. Preem Petroleum AB is part of a group of companies with the parent company Corral Petroleum Holdings AB. Remaining part of the shares, 25 %, is owned by Hydro R & M Holding AB.

 

In 2002 Preem Petroleum and Norsk Hydro co-ordinated their activities in Scanraff and Skandinaviska Kracker AB Scancracker with ownership and process rights (licenses) allocated 75 % Preem Petroleum and 25 % Norsk Hydro. This alteration became effective on April 1, 2002, whereby Norsk Hydro paid a shareholder’s contribution to Scanraff amounting to 10.7 million SEK. Scanraff acquired all shares of Scancracker by a directed new share issue at premium rate from Scanraff to Preem Petroleum and Norsk Hydro. Thereby Scancracker became a wholly owned subsidiary to Scanraff. Finally in October, Scancracker was merged into Scanraff. The merger has caused a negative merger difference of 138.9 million SEK, which has reduced the free reserves and surplus. In addition the merger has made it impossible to compare the income statement and balance sheet over the years.

 

The Scancracker process units, which are totally integral parts of the refinery, were previously operated by Scanraff in accordance with the Service Agreement established between Scanraff and Scancracker.

 

Scanraff refines crude oil supplied by the shareholders. The company is acting as a commission agent for Preem Petroleum AB and Norsk Hydro Lagrings och Distributions AB. Scanraff receives compensation from the principals corresponding to actual costs.

 

In 2002, 8.7 (9.3) million tonnes of crude oil were refined. The process units of the refinery were shut down in the autumn for planned turnaround during approximately five weeks. For the rest of the year the process units were utilised at a maximum. Since the refinery margins were weak during a large part of the year there have been periods with reduced charge.

 

Totally 507 million SEK, excluding the turnaround, were invested during the period. A new propylene unit was brought into operation in June. In addition, a revamp of the wastewater treatment plant was made and continued investments for operational optimisation, operational availability and operational safety were made. A revamp for delivery of waste heat to the community of Lysekil was also accomplished. Lysekils Energi AB is responsible for the pipeline network outside the refinery.

 

In May 2002, the Scanraff Board approved an investment amounting to 3,300 million SEK to meet more stringent specifications from EU for diesel and gasoline from year 2005. Approval has also been received from the Boards of Preem Petroleum and Norsk Hydro. During the autumn the Environmental Court has given the permit to start this investment. However, Preem Petroleum and Norsk Hydro have decided to further evaluate the economic consequences of the project before approval to start construction is given. So far, 77 million SEK have been invested.

 

11



 

Scanraff’s management system is certified according to the requirements of ISO 9002, ISO 14001 and for plant safety and work environment according to OHS 18001.

 

Turnaround

The refinery was shut down for turnaround during September and October. At this type of inspections the surveillance of the refinery is made in accordance with actual safety regulations. Preventive maintenance work is also made during these shutdowns to maintain the technical standard of the units. Totally 248 million SEK were invested during the 2002 turnaround.

 

Expectations of future developments

The development will mean continued demand for environmental class oil products. Decision has been taken in EU about continuous introduction of totally desulphurised gasoline and diesel from 2005 to 2009. Initiative has also been taken on a ministerial level within EU to reduce the maximum sulphur content in bunker fuel to 1.5 % for vessels trafficking the Baltic and the North Sea.

 

Scanraff’s approved Gas Oil Project will give good presumptions to effectively meet these demands. There will be further studies for adaptation of the gasoline production to the specifications expected from 2005 and onwards and for continued optimisation of the refinery.

 

Delivery of waste heat to a district heating network in Uddevalla is investigated in co-ordination with the parties involved which can lead to increased use of the refinery surplus heat.

 

Plant safety and work environment will also in the future be highly prioritised areas. Among other things a new risk based inspection system will be introduced.

 

Environmental issues

Scanraff conduct their activities according to the Environmental Code. Influence on the environment is pricipally coming from emissions to air of carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides and volatile hydrocarbons. For 2002 the company has 53 valid environmental regulations including capacity/feedstock limitations, emission to air and water, noise, waste and oil preparedness. All refinery activities are controlled by the regulations, and 50 of them have been accomplished. Provisions for future clearing and restoration expenditures have not been made, see also note 23.

 

From mid 2002 more stringent regulations are valid for the wastewater treatment plant and an extensive revamp has been accomplished during the year. The three terms, which are not completely fulfilled, regulates the quality of the cleaned water. These regulations are expected to be accomplished after trimming of the unit.

 

The County Administration Board establishes the emission control program. The program describes in detail the control and reporting valid for Scanraff’s internal control regarding crude oil consumption and production, emissions to air and water, noise and waste. Receiver control is principally made by the regional co-ordination organisations of which Scanraff is a member. Environmental report according to the Environmental Code is sent every year to The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency, The County Administration Board and The Community of Lysekil.

 

A spillage of diesel to the ground has implied the supervising authority to submit the matter to the public prosecution authorities in year 2000 for consideration of legal proceedings. A decision has not yet been taken in this matter.

During the year the Environmental Court started a consideration of Scanraff’s application regarding revamp of the refinery for production of fuels adapted to EU and increased production. The application results in a reconsideration of the total refinery activity and principal negotiations regarding the regulations remain. The alterations of the activity described in the

application have in a partial decision been judged as permissible and permit has been given to start construction. The conviction has been appealed and cancellation has been required. The Appeal Environmental Court has rejected the requirement of cancellation and handles now the appeal regarding the permit.

 

Treatment of the Company’s loss

The accumulated deficit according to the balane sheet amounts to 128,190,880 SEK. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director propose that an amount of 128,190,880 SEK of the share premium reserve is used to cover the accumulated deficit.

Notes to the financial statements

Amounts in kSEK unless otherwise stated

 

The Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the standards issued by the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council (RR).

 

Valuation principles

Assets, provisions and liabilities are stated at historical cost unless otherwise stated.

 

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciations according to plan are based on acquisition values less any estimated residual value. Depreciation is made over the estimated useful economic life of the asset. Further write-down is made in case of a permanent impairment of value. The acquisition value includes expenses for improvements of the related assets. Internal capitalised costs include indirect as well as direct costs.

 

In the acquisition value for plant and machinery expenditures are included for the right to utilise design and construction for certain units and interest for large investments.

 

Expenditures for turnaround include inspection of units in accordance with refinery and authority requirements as well as expenditures for preventive maintenance in order to maintain the technical standard of the refinery. The expenditures are capitalised and distributed over a period up to the next turnaround.

 

Depreciations of platinum and palladium, accounted for as plant and machinery, are not made as they are used as catalysts in the Reformer and the Isomerisation units without deterioration. The market value exceeds the booked value.

 

The following depreciation periods are applied:

 

Estimated useful economic life

 

Buildings

 

20 - 50 years

 

Plant and machinery

 

approximately 20 years

 

Turnaround

 

approximately 4 years

 

Equipment, tools, fixtures and fittings

 

approximately 6 years

 

 

Tax regulated depreciation allowances for plant, machinery and equipment have been made

according to the residual value method.

 

Loan expenses

Loan expenses are charged the result in the period, to which they are related, except for the part, which is included in the acquisition value of an asset. Activation of loan expenses is made in accordance with the alternative principle in RR 21. Information about activated interest for previous years is not structured in such a manner that information can be given on accumulated amounts or by balance sheet item.

 

Write-downs

The accounted values for the company assets are controlled at every balance sheet day to investigate if there is an indication of write-down need. If such an indication exists, the recovery value of the asset is calculated as the highest one of the beneficial value and the net realisable value. Write-down is made if the recovery value is lower than the accounted value.

 



 

Receivables

Receivables are reported at the amount expected to be collected based on individual assessment of collectibility.

 

Receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currency

Receivables and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are stated in accordance with Standard No 8 of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council at the exchange rate ruling at the balance sheet date. Exchange rate differences on current receivables and liabilities are reported in operating income while differences on financial receivables and liabilities are reported with financial items. Receivables and liabilities hedged by forward exchange contracts are valued at the contracted rate.

 

Inventories

The inventories mainly consists of spare parts and additives. The spare parts inventories have been stated at the average acquisition value while the inventories of additives have been stated at acquisition values according to the first-in first-out method, both with due consideration of obsolescence.

 

Taxes

The Company applies Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council’s Standard RR9 Income taxes. Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized in the Income Statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, whereby the pertained tax effect is recognised in equity. In the annual report deferred income tax liability has not been judged as essential amount and has therefore not been accounted for in the income statement and balance sheet.

 

Provisions (with the exception of deffered tax)

A provision is accounted for in accordance with RR 16 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets in the balance sheet when the company has a formal or informal commitment as a consequence of an event that has taken place and it is likely that an outflow of resources is required to regulate the commitment and a reliable judgement of the amount can be made. Present value computation is made to take the time effect for essential future payments into consideration.

 

Restoration reserve

A future close-down of the refinery might imply a demand for decontamination and restoration work etc., but this is judged to be far away into the future and the future expenses cannot be calculated in a reliable way.

 

Contingent liabilities

Reference is made to a note regarding the exploitation agreement between the community of Lysekil and Scanraff.

 

Revenue recognition

The refinery activities are performed on a commission basis, see note 1.

 

Leasing - lessee

Leases are reported in accordance with RR 6:99. Under such rules, all leasing arrangements are reported as operating leases.

 

Under operating leases, lease payments are recognised as an expense based on the lessee’s benefit of the lease arrangement which may differ from the timing of payments.

 



 

Merger

During the year, Skandinaviska Kracker AB Scancracker was merged with Scanraff. The merger has been reported in accordance with guideline BFNAR 1999:1 “Merger of wholly owned limited liability companies”. The consolidated value method has been applied.

 

Shareholders’ contribution

The company has reported shareholders’ contribution in accordance with the Emerging Issues Task Force pronouncement.

 

Shareholders’ contributions received are taken directly to equity capital while contributions paid are capitalised with shares and participations unless a write-down is warranted.

 

Changes in accounting principles

As from January 1, 2002, the following standards issued by the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council are applied: RR 15 Intangible fixed assets, RR 16 Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, RR 17 Write-downs, RR 19 Business in liquidation, RR 21 Loan expenses and RR 23 Information about related parties. Application of these standards has not affected the income statement and balance sheet but has been considered in increased information.

 

Group affiliation, etc.

Scanraff is a subsidiary company to Preem Petroleum AB, reg. No 556072-6977 with registered office in Stockholm. Preem Petroleum AB is a member of a group of companies recognising Corral Petroleum Holdings AB, reg. No 556477-1284 with registered office in Stockholm, as its ultimate parent company preparing consolidated financial statements for the entire group.

 

Sales and purchasing transactions of Scanraff with affiliated companies represent approximately 76 (78) % and less than 1 (<1) %, respectively, of total sales and purchases.

 

Related parties

Related parties with a controlling influence

The Company is subordinated to controlling influence from sheikh Mohammed H. Al-Amoudi, who owns Corral Petroleum Holdings AB. In addition to the Corral group, Mohammed Al-Amoudi owns i.a. Midroc Scandinavia AB.

 

Related parties’ transactions

Midroc Scandinavia AB has provided maintenance and construction services through its subsidiaries. For these services Scanraff has paid approximately 86 (42) million SEK. Many of these services are provided on a demand basis. Accordingly, the amounts paid for these services may vary from year to year depending on the service required and provided. The transactions and agreements, which are the basis for these, were entered into on terms no less favourable than those that could have been obtained on market terms from an unrelated third party.

Contingent Consideration

 

The Purchaser and the Shares Seller (or any company within the Hydro Group designated by the Shares Seller as the recipient) have agreed that as from Closing Date and for twenty four (24) consecutive months (the Contingent Consideration Period) the Shares Seller shall be entitled to a contingent consideration (the Contingent Consideration) for each twelve-month period, starting from Closing Date, that the calculated aggregate synthetic margin as set out in the Synthetic Margin definition below exceeds 3.75 USD/bbl. The Contingent Consideration shall be calculated as fifty percent (50 %) of the excess of the calculated aggregate Synthetic Margin above 3.75 USD/bbl multiplied by twenty –five percent (25%) of the actual throughput volume at Scanraff on said twelve- month period. The total Contingent Consideration shall in no case exceed USD 20 Million.

 

The Purchaser shall pay the Contingent Consideration to the Shares Seller in immediately available funds by wire transfer to the account of the Shares Seller (or its recipient) at a bank designated by the Shares Seller on the following days:

 

i)                                         380 days after the Closing Date for the first twelve-month period.

ii)                                      745 days after the Closing Date for the second twelve-month period.

 

At payment the Purchaser shall provide to the Shares Seller complete records on how the Contingent Consideration has been calculated. The Shares Seller has a right to verify the calculation of the Contingent Consideration and for this purpose the Purchaser shall procure that Scanraff keeps complete records on how the Contingent Consideration and its parts are measured and calculated. Such records shall be open for inspection by the Shares Seller at their request at any time within normal working hours until 12 months after the Contingent Consideration Period. Any discrepancy agreed between the parties or determined in accordance with Clause 16 (Arbitration and Submission to Jurisdiction) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall immediately be paid to the relevant party and shall include interest thereon from the payment date of the deficient payment with interest in accordance with Clause 14.6 (interest) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement.

 

For purposes of calculating the Contingent Consideration, the Synthetic Margin will be calculated using the yields and Platt’s reference data in the table below:

Revidering av protokoll från möte 7 januari 2003.

 

Orsak till revidering:

 

Scanraff har vid nya mätningar av oljelager i Aspedalens bergrum funnit att bottenvolymen ska uppräknas från 25.000 m3 till 29.200 m3.

 

Kalkylblad för beräkning av  belopp för clearing har därför justerats för denna uppräkning i Aspedalen. Detta innebär följande ny text under rubriken “belopp för clearing”

 

Rev 5. Belopp för clearing

 

Beräkning av clearingbelopp framgår av bilaga. Redovisningen av omfördelning mellan respektive ägares operativa lager och lager bundet i bottnar innebär att Preem fått minskning av operativt lager med 718 KUSD mot en ökning av lager bundet i bottnar med ett nuvärde på 103 KUSD. Hydro ska därmed ersätta Preem med 615 KUSD.

 

Tidigare clearingbelopp var fastställt till 491 KUSD. Revideringen innebär således att Hydro ska ersätta Preem med ytterligare 124 KUSD.

1. Bakgrund:

 

Vid förändringen av ägandet till 75 % Preem och 25 % Hydro den 1.4.2002 ingick inte i clearingen mellan ägarna det oljelager som finns på Scanraff.

 

Det ändrade ägarförhållandet innebar inte någon ändring av respektive ägares totala oljelager. Principen för fördelning av oljelager bundet i bottnar bygger dock på att de fördelas efter ägandet på lagringsplatsen. Scanraff omfördelade därför oljelager i bottnar. Eftersom det totala oljelagret för Preem respektive Hydro inte ändrades medförde det en omfördelning mellan operativa lager och lager i bottnar hos respektive ägare.

 

Eftersom lager i bottnar bedöms ha ett lägre värde än operativt lager och är tillgängligt först långt fram i tiden har aktualiserats behovet av att cleara även denna omfördelning av värden.

 



 

2. Beskrivning av lager i bottnar:

 

Bengt Ahlén beskrev hur lager av bottnar ser ut i tankar och bergrum. Bottnar är den del av oljelagren som inte är operativt åtkomliga utan bara kan uttas genom särskilda driftåtgärder.  Nivån på lager i bottnar ligger på ca 3,5 % (Aspedalen) till ca 8 % (Scanraffs råoljebergrum) av total lagringskapacitet. Nivån på bottenlagret fastställs med några års mellanrum utifrån drifterfarenheter. Bottenlagret kan i mer eller mindre grad vara uppblandat med vatten, vax, sand, rost o dylikt och har därför inte fullt värde. Bottenlager i tankar kan uttas i samband med tank I&T då en del kan gå som produkt och en del behöver återprocessas. Bottenlager i bergrum kan kräver mer omfattande åtgärder i form av spolning med varmt kondensat o.dyl. och det är svårare att bedöma vilken mängd som kan uttas.

 

Oljelager i bottnar ligger bundet så länge som lagringsplatsen används i drift och binder därmed kapital långt fram i tiden.

 

3. Principer för värdering av oljelager i bottnar

 

Efter diskussion enades parterna att tillämpa följande principer för värdering:

 

a) Volym som  kan uttas av lager i bottnar bedöms utifrån vad som är praktiskt och ekonomiskt möjligt med tillgänglig teknik.

 

b) Värde på uttagen volym bedöms utifrån andelen fullvärdig olja och andel som behöver återprocessas eller har lägre värde.

 

c) Kostnader för uttag av lager i bottnar är åtgärder för exempelvis spolning, cirkulation, uppvärmning o dyl.

 

d) Nettovärdet av lager i bottnar enligt a-c) ovan omräknas till nuvärde utifrån en räntesats på 10 % och bindningstid på 15 år. Nuvärdet beräknas därmed till ca 24 % av nettovärdet. I  Scanraffs bergrum planeras investering som gör att nuvärdet räknas på 2 år.

 

 

4. Princip för clearing mellan Preem och Hydro:

 

Parterna enades att belopp för clearing mellan Preem och Hydro ska beräknas utifrån:

 

Värdet på minskat operativt lager - Nuvärdet på lager bundet i bottnar

med ovanstående principer och den bedömningsmatris som anges nedan:

5. Belopp för clearing

 

Beräkning av clearingbelopp framgår av bilaga. Redovisningen av omfördelning mellan respektive ägares operativa lager och lager bundet i bottnar innebär att Preem fått minskning av  operativa lager med 569 KUSD mot en ökning av lager bundet i bottnar med ett nuvärde på 78 KUSD. Hydro ska därmed ersätta Preem med 491 KUSD.

Revision of the minutes of the meeting of January 7, 2003.

 

Reason for the revision:

 

Scanraff, in new measurements of oil stocks in the excavation in Aspedalen, has found that the volume in the bottoms must be adjusted upwards from 25,000 cubic metres to 29,200 cubic metres.

 

The calculation sheet for the calculation of the amount for clearing has therefore been adjusted to allow for this upward adjustment in Aspedalen.  This means that the following new text must appear under the heading “Amount for clearing”.

 

Rev 5.  Amount for clearing

 

The calculation of the clearing amount is shown in the enclosure.  The revision of the redistribution between the operational stocks of the respective owners and stocks associated with the bottoms means that Preem is given a reduction of the operational stocks by USD 718,000 against an increase of stocks associated with the bottoms with a new value of USD 103,000.  Hydro will therefore make a compensatory payment to Preem of USD 650,000.

 

The earlier clearing amount was set at USD 491,000.  The revision therefore means that Hydro must make a compensatory payment to Preem of an additional USD 124,000.

1.  Background:

 

During the change of ownership to 75% Preem and 25% Hydro on 1.4.2002, the oil stocks in Scanraff were not included in the clearing between the owners.

 

The change in the ownership structure did not involve any change in the total oil stocks of the respective owners.  The principle of the distribution of the oil stocks in connection

 



 

with the bottoms, however, was based on the fact that they were distributed in accordance with the ownership of the storage locations.  Accordingly, Scanraff reallocated the oil stocks in the bottoms.  Since the total oil stocks for Preem and Hydro, respectively, were not changed, this involved a reallocation between operational stocks and stocks in the bottoms on the part of the respective owners.

 

Since stocks in the bottoms are considered to have a lower value than operational stocks and will not be available until the distant future, it has also become necessary to settle this reallocation of the value.

 

2.  Description of the stocks in the bottoms:

 

Bengt Ahlén described what the stocks in the bottoms look like in the tanks and excavation.  The bottoms are the part of the oil stocks which are not operationally accessible and can only be extracted through special operational measures.  The level of stocks in the bottoms is approximately 3.5% (Aspedalen) to approximately 8% (the crude oil excavation in Scanraff) of the total storage capacity.  The level of the bottom stock is determined at intervals of several years on the basis of operational experience.  The bottom stock may be mixed to a greater or lesser extent with water, wax, sand, rust et al. and may therefore not have its full value.  Bottoms stocks in tanks can be extracted in connection with tank I&T because some parts can be used as product while other parts require reprocessing.  Bottom stocks in excavations may require more extensive measures in the form of cleaning with hot condensate et al. and it is more difficult to assess the amount that can be extracted.

 

Oil stocks in bottoms are locked in for the entire time that the storage location is used in operation and are therefore a capital commitment far into the future.

 

3.  Principles for the valuation of oil stocks in bottoms

 

After discussion, the parties agreed to apply the following valuation principles:

 

a)              The volume which can be extracted from stocks in the bottoms will be assessed on the basis of what is practical and economically possible with the available technology.

 

b)             The value of the extracted volume will be assessed on the basis of the full-value component of the oil and the component which requires reprocessing or has a lower value.

 

c)              The costs for extraction of stocks in bottoms include measures, for example, for cleaning, circulation, heating et al.

 

d)             The net value of the stocks in the bottoms under a-c) above is converted to the new value on the basis of an interest rate of 10% and a commitment period of 15 years.  The new value is therefore estimated at approximately 24% of the net value.  In the

 



 

Scanraff excavation, an investment is planned which will mean that the new value is expected in 2 years.

 

4.  Principle for clearing between Preem and Hydro:

 

The parties agree that the amount for clearing between Preem and Hydro should be calculated on the basis of:

 

The value of the reduced operational stock, the new value of the stocks associated with the bottoms on the above principles and the assessment matrix indicated below:

5.  Amount for clearing

 



 

The calculation of the clearing amount is indicated in the enclosure.  The report on the reallocation between the operational stocks of the respective owners and the stocks associated with the bottoms means that Preem receives a reduction of operational stocks of USD 569,000 and an increase in stocks associated with the bottoms with a new value of USD 78,000.  Accordingly, Hydro must make a compensatory payment to Preem of USD 491,000.

830,793

 

 

 

The total final value of the increase for Preem in the bottom stocks after corrections for volume and price is therefore 830.793 USD ( excluding crude oil in Scanraff as shown below )

 

The new value of this increase over 15 years and 10 % interest is 830.793 * 23,94%  =          198,892 USD - 95.450 USD (crude oil as below) = 103.442 USD

 


*  Calculation of the value of Scanraff crude oil excavation

 

Total volume in the bottoms 66000 m3

80 % can be recovered, of which 50 % water means 40 % oil, valuation 50 % crude oil, 50 % HSFO

The recovery can be completed within about 2 years after investment of 7 mil. kr = 823.500 USD

The net value of the bottoms will therefore be 40 % * 66000 ( 150,75 + 113,4)/2 - 823.500   =        2.661.300 USD

 

2



 

i.e. 100,8 USD per m3 which can be extracted.

The value of 1154,8 m3 is therefore 116.403 USD The new value in 2 years and 10 % = 82 % of 116.403 = 95.450 USD
