UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (cont.)

(d)(ii)

Share Capital There were no ordinary shares issued since the end of 1Q 2013. There are no treasury shares. Share Options No options were issued during 2Q 2013. However as a result of the Mandatory Unconditional Cash Offer from Fincantieri Oil & Gas S.p.A., participants holding unexercised options are entitled to exercise such options in the period commencing on the date of the offer and ending latest 6 months thereafter, whereupon any option then remaining unexercised shall immediately lapse and become null and void. During 2Q 2013, a total number of 10,340,000 share options were exercised and settled in cash. Consequently outstanding options to subscribe for shares remained as 6,130,000 as at 30 June 2013 (30 June 2012: 17,070,000). The outstanding options will expire on 13 August 2013.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES In the current financial period, the Group and the Company have adopted all the new and revised Financial Reporting Standards (FRSs) and Interpretations of FRSs (INT FRSs) that are relevant to its operations and are effective for annual periods beginning on 1 January 2013. The adoption of the new or revised FRSs and INT FRSs does not result in any significant changes to the accounting policies of the Group and the Company, and has no material effect on the amounts reported for the current or prior periods. A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2013, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. The most important ones for the Group are set out below: FRS 110 Consolidated Financial Statements, which changes the definition of control such that an investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power with the investee. FRS 110 introduces a single control model with a series of indicators to assess control. FRS 110 also adds additional context, explanation and application guidance based on the principle of control. The Group is currently assessing whether there will be any impact to the Group’s financial statements when the Group adopts FRS 110. FRS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, which sets out the disclosures required to be made in respect of all forms of an entity’s interests in other entities, including subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. The adoption of this standard would result in more extensive disclosures being made in the Group’s financial statements in respect of its interests in other entities; as FRS 112 is primarily a disclosure standard, there will be no financial impact on the results and financial position of the Group and the Company upon adoption of this standard by the Group. The Group is currently collating the information of the additional disclosures required. There are no other FRSs or interpretations that are not yet effective that would be expected to have a material impact on the Group.

REVIEW OF GROUP PERFORMANCE

(a)

Statement of comprehensive income: The operating revenues for the half year ended 30 June 2013 were NOK 5,692 million, decreasing from NOK 6,148 million in the corresponding period of the previous year. Vard delivered eight vessels during the second quarter and secured contracts for three newbuildings. Operating profit for the half year ended 30 June 2013 was NOK 295 million, down from NOK 793 million in the corresponding period of 2012. The operating margin, representing operating profit to total operating revenues, was 5.2 %. The EBITDA margin was 7.5 %. For the corresponding period last year, the operating margin and EBITDA margin were 12.9 % and 13.9 % respectively. Profit before tax was down from NOK 817 million to NOK 299 million compared to the corresponding period of 2012. With an effective tax rate of 54.5 %, due to a loss in Brazil and impairment of goodwill without tax effect, VARD recorded a profit margin after tax of 2.4 % for the first half of 2013 compared with 8.9 % for the corresponding period of 2012. Margins are impacted by further delays and cost overruns at the Niterói yard due to lower than expected productivity, additional costs for outsourcing of hull construction activities to subcontractors, and G983revisions to the estimates of startup costs at the new shipyard, Vard Promar. The adverse development in Niterói is also the reason for the write-down to zero of the remaining goodwill for Niterói. Operations elsewhere in the Group are not affected by the operational challenges in Brazil. The Romanian yards continue to experience a very high workload, while Vietnam is seeing sub-optimal utilization. Operations of the Company as a whole remain profitable for the year to date despite the negative result for the second quarter of 2013.

REVIEW OF GROUP PERFORMANCE (cont.)

(b)

Statement of financial position: Total assets is relatively stable and increased only by 0.4 % from NOK 12.81 billion at the end of 2012 to NOK 12.86 billion at the end of June 2013. Construction work in progress increased by 7.2 % from NOK 5.587 billion to NOK 5.989 billion when comparing 30 June 2013 to 31 December 2012. At the same time trade and other receivables decreased by 6.7 % from NOK 1.920 billion to NOK 1.791 billion. Cash and cash equivalents decreased by NOK 397 million to NOK 2.0 billion in the first half of 2013. Of the total cash and bank deposits as of 30 June 2013, NOK 54 million relates to restricted bank deposits and restricted bank accounts for employees' tax deduction compared to NOK 19 million as of 31 December 2012. Construction loans decreased by 3.4 % to NOK 3.24 billion from NOK 3.35 billion when comparing year end 2012 to end of first half of 2013. Trade and other payables have increased by 7.2 % to NOK 3.0 billion and construction work in progress have increased by 4.8 % to NOK 1.6 billion versus NOK 2.8 billion and NOK 1.5 billion respectively as of yearend 2012. The movements in these items are related to on-going projects and ordinary business in general. Total interest-bearing liabilities, excluding construction loans, amounted to NOK 774 million at 30 June 2013, up from NOK 579 million at year end 2012. The increase is mainly related to the ongoing construction of the new shipyard in Brazil. Retained earnings increased by NOK 180 million in the first half of 2013. The change mainly reflects the profit for the six months period.

(c)

Statement of cash flows: The cash flows from operating activities was negative NOK 277 million for the first half of 2013 compared to positive NOK 1,007 million in the corresponding period of 2012. Cash flow from operating activities can fluctuate significantly from period to period due to changes in working capital (highly impacted by Construction Work in Progress which in the period was negative by NOK 442 million). Cash flows used investing activities for the first half of 2013 was NOK 328 million compared to NOK 310 million in the corresponding period of 2012. The main driver is the construction of the new shipyard in Brazil and ongoing investments in Romania. The cash flows from financing activities for the first six months of 2013 amounted to NOK 165 million which is the net effect of proceeds and repayments of loans and borrowings as well as the cash settlement of employee share options. During the first half of 2013, the net decrease in cash and cash equivalents by NOK 440 million was due to the aforementioned reasons.

VARIANCE FROM FORECAST STATEMENT In Brazil, the new shipyard under construction, started steel cutting on 12 June 2013, in line with the prospect statement contained in the 1Q 2013 announcement made on 14 May 2013.

VARD HOLDINGS LIMITED Incorporated in Singapore Company Registration No. 201012504K Second Quarter 2013 Financial Statements UNAUDITED RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER ENDED 30 JUNE 2013 (All amounts in NOK millions unless otherwise stated) 10

PROSPECTS At the end of the second quarter of 2013, the order book value amounted to NOK 14.0 billion, down from NOK 15.5 billion at the end of the first quarter of 2013. The order reserve comprised 41 vessels yet to be delivered, and the aggregate order value was NOK 22.5 billion. Order intake for the second quarter 2013 was NOK 1.2 billion, down from NOK 2.8 billion in the first quarter 2013. While the order intake in the second quarter consisted of highly specialized, but smaller vessels, the average value per vessel contracted is expected to grow in the second half of 2013. Order intake may vary significantly on a quarter-by-quarter basis as a result of larger projects with longer lead times. As an increasing volume of subsea work translates into big backlogs for subsea contractors, there is a growing need for modern vessels to support such work. VARD continues to work with clients on sizeable opportunities in the subsea support and construction segment. The market for platform supply vessels (PSV) and anchor handlers (AHTS) are expected to benefit from increased rig activity, especially in the North Sea. With a record number of rigs coming into service, supply vessel utilization and day rates should receive a boost, lending support to the new building market as well. In the AHTS market, periods of market tightness have become more frequent during the second quarter, and – if sustained – could trigger a long-awaited upturn, especially as very few high-end anchor handlers are currently under construction world-wide. Strong demand for PSVs in the North Sea, but also outside demand for advanced vessels – including from Petrobras – has resulted in a more favourable PSV market balance than expected during the second quarter. Still, the outlook remains cautious due to the anticipated supply growth in this segment. Overall, while VARD is confident about the prospects for new orders during the remainder of 2013, the market remains fiercely competitive and characterized by uncertainty about the macro outlook. Operationally, managing the high work load in Romania and securing more work for the Vietnam yard are at the top of the agenda in the respective parts of the organization. Stabilizing the Niterói operations and successfully ramping up the new yard in Brazil are a top priority for the Group, and management has initiated mitigating actions in order to regain profitability in Brazil. Despite the current operational challenges, the Company remains confident in the long-term potential of the Brazilian market.The new shipyard in Brazil, Vard Promar, has started operations in mid-June and construction of the yard is scheduled to be completed during 3Q 2013. Recruiting and training are ongoing at high speed and showing good progress. The opening of the new yard represents a milestone for the Company, offering opportunities for growth, better operational stability, and a substantially improved cost position in Brazil, and enabling the Group to secure and successfully execute new projects in this important market.
