Offshore supply market is important to many of the Asia-listed offshore players as most have direct exposure in the offshore support services segment through their fleet of support vessels.
Offshore Supply – industry outlook Key summary Based on the latest data points, though activities have improved, we remain skeptical on any meaningful expansion, which is sustainable, in this sector. We retain our view that the offshore supply sector is still facing the situation of over-supply in vessels. 1. Sector remains crowded with vessels but risk-reward returns
attractive at company level: Given the dip in share prices over past weeks, some companies are now trading below our NAV valuation. We believe this represents a good opportunity for investors to get into the sector through selected companies, which offer good upside potential. Risk reward looks very favourable at the moment.
2. Activity level (demand) is recovering, but supply forces continue to dominate: Market confidence and E&P spending outlook have improved vs a year ago. We expect activity level in the OSV segment to grow this year, backed by the 9% E&P spending growth we are expecting for 2010. However, with the upcoming increase in supply, we argue that demand/supply gap will not close as fast as what market is suggesting. We believe OSV dayrates and asset values of the vessels will continue to face pressure from this overhang in 2010/2011.
3. Vessel growth to put pressure on dayrates: The aggregate fleet count of the drilling rigs (jack-ups, semis and drillships) is not growing as aggressive as the OSV vessels. Fleet growth from 2005-2009 was 18% vs 49% for OSV. Going forward, the OSV fleet (based on existing backlog) is expected to increase another 22% from 2009 (bearing in mind, 2009 has a higher base count of 2544 vessels), higher than the 19% rise in rig fleet. The ratio of OSVs supporting one installation (either jack-up, semi or drillship) will reach 3.0 in this year and in 2011, 27% higher than the historical average of 2.4 from 2000-2009. But it expected to fall to 2.9 in 2012 when the OSV growth dampens and more installations enter the market.
4. 2012 is the turning point: With the ratio of OSV to one rig expecting to fall to 2.9 in 2012 vs 3.0 in 2010/2011, we expect demand to pick up in 2012 when the OSV growth dampens and more rig units enter the market. We believe the market will be able to absorb the enlarged OSV fleet by 2012. This is based on our assumption that the drilling rigs (including the upcoming newbuilds) will enjoy good utilization (>80% on average) from 2012 onwards. Hence, the key risk to our exp that OSV demand will pick up in 2012 is the utilization level of drilling rigs.
5. Offshore yards - higher oil prices already implied in current backlog: There were estimated to be close to 600 new OSV orders during the building boom in 2007-2008, when oil prices were trading in the highs 90-147 USD/bbl. We argue that higher oil prices of more than average of 120 USD/day would be needed in order trigger another potential newbuild bull cycle. We remain cautious on the new order assumptions for the offshore yards in 2010 and 2011.
6. Int rates to see further drops, while North Sea out of bottom: Our view that the North Sea (NS) spot rates would bottom out in early 2010 has materialized. But we question the sustainability of current rates and expect rates to be under pressure. With more than 60 larger AHTS (>15,000bhp) and 139 PSVs (>2,000dwt) coming to the market in 2010, we argue that there will be no lack of such vessels in the market. In beginning Q2, we saw an huge increase in dayrates, driven by higher activity levels and the unsystematic Iceland volcano eruption. Dayrates for 20,000+bhp AHTS have breached the 50,000 GBP/day mark, not seen for some time. However, the average size of vessels operating in the NS has also increased from 18,000+bhp in 2008 to 21,000+bhp in 2010 (ytd). Hence the rates increase we saw over the period may not be comparable. Going forward, with high fleet growth and weak (our expectation) int rates outlook, vessel owners are likely to deploy their newbuilds in the NS market, further preventing any sustainable uptick in rates.

Demand side - E&P spending In the E&P value chain, the oil companies' spending is the key determinant in driving the fundamentals of the Offshore Supply Vessel (OSV) sector. We argue that using the aggregate value of the E&P spending as a yardstick can provide us a quantifiable measure of the general direction of the demand for oil services, hence the demand for OSV sector. Market confidence and E&P spending outlook have improved vs a year ago, supported by relatively high stable oil prices. Based on our E&P spending update 2010, we are estimating a 9% growth (largely driven by NOCs) in E&P spending this year amounting to USDbn 453 as compared to 8% decline in 2009 of USDbn 416. As such, activity levels (exploration and production) are looking to increase this year, implying that there will be more demand for OSVs. However, with the upcoming increase in supply (as pointed out below), we argue that demand/supply gap will not close as fast as what market is suggesting. We believe OSV dayrates and asset values of the vessels will continue to face pressure from this overhang. Ratio of OSV to one rig/installation remains high The situation of over-supply is alarming and we believe the problem will continue to compound with improving market sentiments, fueling the expectation of lesser cancellations or delays in current newbuild backlog.
Based on our projections, the ratio of OSVs supporting one installation (either jack-up, semi or drillship) will reach 3.0 in this year and in 2011, 27% higher than the historical average of 2.4 from 2000-2009. But it expected to fall to 2.9 in 2012 when the OSV growth dampens and more installations enter the market. The ratios may be understated as we have included all rigs (working, non-working, idling, and stacked rigs) in the market.

Vessel growth to put pressure on dayrates The aggregate fleet count of the drilling rigs (jack-ups, semis and drillships) is not growing as aggressively as the OSV vessels. Fleet growth from 2005-2009 was 18% vs 49% for OSV. Going forward, with the upcoming newbuilds through 2012, the OSV fleet is expected to increase another 22% from 2009 (bearing in mind, 2009 has a higher base count of 2544 vessels), higher than the 19% rise in the rig fleet. Most of the OSV fleet growth will be registered in 2010. In 2010, OSV fleet is expected to grow 17% as compared to 9% in rig fleet over the corresponding period. In 2011/12, OSV fleet's growth is only at 4%/1% as compared to 5%/3% in rig fleet.
Figure 3: Fleet growth (JU, Semi, DS and OSV) over time
Looking at these data, we do not believe the increase in activities (9% growth if we use our E&P spending update as yardstick) will necessarily translate to higher dayrates for the OSVs. The key argument behind this is that we are facing an over-supply situation, with too many vessels flooding the market. Given the scenario that the overall demand growth of 9% (based on our estimates from the E&P survey) is somewhat lower than the global fleet growth (known supply), pricings (dayrates) are likely to continue to face downward pressure. The sheer number of newbuild vessels and vessels going off charters this year and next will see shipowners becoming desperate to find work for their vessels. With the focus turning to fixing the vessels (utilization), rates will be sacrificed. 2012 is the turning point With the ratio of OSV to one rig expecting to fall to 2.9 in 2012 vs 3.0 in 2010/2011, we expect demand to pick up in 2012 when the OSV growth dampens and more rig units entering the market. We believe the market (drilling rigs) will be able to absorb the enlarged OSV fleet by 2012. This is based on our assumption that the drilling rigs (including the upcoming newbuilds) will enjoy good utilization (>80% on average) from 2012 onwards. Hence, the key risk to our expectation that OSV demand will pick up in 2012 is the utilization level of drilling rigs. Long lead time to build a vessel leads to wrong market timing Given the cyclical nature of the industry, the lagging effect and long lead time in vessel delivery implies that the newbuild vessels are going to be rolled out at a time when the dayrates have fallen more than 40% from the highs. As the oil companies cut back on their spending, coupled with how the oil service companies have built up capacity in the recent years to meet the expected growth in E&P spending, supply now outpaces demand in most parts of the value chain. It is a matter of market timing which has gone wrong for the shipowners who ordered their vessels in late 2008 when newbuilds' prices were at the highest. These newbuilds are coming into the market this year or next. With higher costs of building the vessels, the returns on these vessels are likely to be weaker as the lower priced vessels can command lower rates at same ROIs. Furthermore, from what we have gathered from the survey, oil companies are focusing heavily on cost reductions. The oil service companies, in this case the OSV companies, face a new situation in which the oil companies expect to see lower prices. And coupled with the situation of supply

outpacing demand, OSV companies have lost much of their leverage and bargaining power in determining the pricing of their chartering contracts. The oil companies have many options to choose from the enlarged fleet. Simply put, they are spoilt for choices. Offshore yards - higher oil prices already implied in current backlog There were estimated to be close to 600 new OSV orders during the building boom in 2007-2008, when oil prices were trading in the highs 90-147 USD/bbl. We argue that higher oil prices of more than average of 120 USD/day would be needed in order trigger another potential newbuild bull cycle. Our house expects 100/120 USD/bbl oil price in 2011/2012 (where a newbuild vessel ordered today would be delivered), which suggest the next newbuild cycle will not happen, at least for this year. This explains why we remain cautious on the new order assumptions for the offshore yards in 2010 and 2011. Figure 4: DnB NOR long-term oil price forecast

Relative performance of the offshore support players Below is an overview EV/EBITDA multiples for Asian, international and Norwegian companies. Tidewater and Bourbon both have majority of their earnings from the offshore supply business whereas drivers for the Asian players are more mixed. Estimates for Tidewater and Bourbon are from Bloomberg as we do not cover these names. Comparing against the peers, in terms of absolute share price performance, the Asia offshore players have performed average 22% better than the Norwegian peers from beginning 2009. This could be explained by the higher growth expectations in many Asian markets, they are more protected than the international markets which the Norwegian players operate. However, with more Asian players going to international markets, we argue such premiums should converge.

Key reasons for rates to come down: 1. Number of vessels is
record high and increasing
2. Newbuild rigs coming into the market later
3. Nowhere to hide: Also vessel owners internationally also feel the pressure
4. Newbuilds entering the market
5. Mobility in vessels
Rates Outlook Int rates to see further drops, while North Sea out of bottom Traditionally, the North Sea spot market is a good indicator of the direction of international rates. So far, the rates internationally have not quite experienced the same magnitude of the decline spot rates over past year. International rates have remained at decent levels, especially so in the Asia Pacific markets, given that a large number of vessels are still under term charters fixed over the past two years. In the beginning of this year and end 2009, rates in the North Sea spot rates have presumably hit bottom levels. This has prompted vessel owners to redeploy their vessels out of North Sea to the international markets (given the higher rates international markets over North Sea spot in Q4-Q12010). In Q42009, there was an average of 30 AHTS and 19 PSV vessels working in North Sea spot each day, these numbers were much lower than the average 38 AHTS and 29 PSVs working in Q2 this year which rates have since picked up.

Spike in NS spot rates unlikely to sustain, W-shaped trend likely Our view that the North Sea spot rates would bottom out in early 2010 has materialized. However, we question the sustainability of current rates and expect rates to be under pressure by the supply situation. With more than 60 larger AHTS (15,000bhp and above) and 139 PSVs (>2,000dwt) coming to the market in 2010, we argue that there will be no lack of such vessels in the market. Over the 7-year period from 2003-2009, we saw very strong North Sea spot rates secured between 2006-2008, tracking the strong surge in oil prices over the same period. Average annual spot rates for AHTS above 12,000+bhp were trading in the range between 47,600-55,400 GBP/day. This had fueled shipowners and speculators to order a massive number of new vessels on the expectations that rates would continue to do well. In 2009, average North Sea spot rates had fallen almost 67% yoy at 18,300 GBP/day. And for the last two quarters in Q12010 and Q42009, rates have remained very weak as high vessel availability continues to put pressure on rates. Average 20,000+bhp AHTS was commanding less than 10,000 GBP/day, low by standards achieved over the past three years. Only in beginning Q2 (April), we saw an huge increase in dayrates, driven by higher activity levels and the unsystematic Iceland volcano eruption. Dayrates for 20,000+bhp AHTS have breached the 50,000 GBP/day mark, not seen in the last few quarters.

However, according to our records, the average size of vessels operating in the North Sea has also increased from 18,000+bhp in 2008 to 21,000+bhp in 2010 (so far this year). Hence the rates increase we saw over the period (or least what some market participants are saying that rates have reverted back to bull cycle levels) may not be comparable. Over capacity remains an issue. Going forward, with high fleet growth and weak (our expectation) rates outlook internationally, vessel owners are likely to deploy their newbuilds in the North Sea spot market, further preventing any sustainable uptick in rates. Unless activity level grows in tandem with the fleet growth or we see bigger than expected cancellations/ lay up, chartering rates are unlikely to keep up with the North trend. Below are our forecast rates for the North Sea spot market in 2010-2013.

Outlook on vessel prices (NAV) Unlikely to see meaningful spike in vessel prices Vessel prices are driven by fundamentals such as the supply and demand dynamics. Our rates outlook (though slight improvements over the rates in our Feb sector report) and over-supply situation with the upcoming newbuilds, continue to undermine our expectation of stronger vessel prices this year. We believe vessel prices will continue to stay in the range of our NAV valuation as demand/supply balance continues to tilt towards the supply side. Please note that our estimates below are based on generic vessels and vessel prices will differ accordingly on the special equipments and varying technical specifications on two identical size vessels.

And in the more recent Petrobras' AHTS tenders, rates submitted by the offshore players support our NAV valuation and rates expectations. Based on avg dayrate of 55,000 USD/day (for 18,000+ AHTS) tendered by the shipowners and opex of 20,000 USD/day, the market implied NAV (EV/EBITDA of 7x) on such large vessels are approx USDm 80-90 each. This is inline with our NAV valuation for similar size AHTS, which supports the valuations of our companies.

Malaysia offshore sector Macro-outlook of SapuraCrest and Kencana Key summary 1. Malaysia's E&P spending outlook positive: In the view of higher oil
price environment and Petronas' guidance, we expect to see higher activity in the oil and gas industry in Malaysia, in particular the offshore segment where most marginal oil can be found. Petronas is expected to increase E&P spending from last year 2009 MYRbn 28 to MYRbn 43 by 2012, mainly driven by higher deepwater exploration (off Sabah blocks) and drilling activities. This represents a 4-year CAGR of 8%.
2. Protection and high-barriers favour local players: In Malaysia, it is a highly protected market for oil service players, especially in larger projects. There is implied local content requirement such as technical qualification and local licenses are required in order to be eligible for large project (offshore units) tenders. Contracts (EPCIC) are usually separated in Malaysia, implying that some contractors will be given fabrication works while others with installation works. There are currently only 7 major offshore fabrication contractors (including Kencana, Sime Darby, Ramunia, Brooke, MMSC) who are approved by Petronas and Production Sharing Contract operators (PSC), and have the license to participate in Petronas' fabrication tenders. Hence, competition is only centralized among few local players who have the qualifications, creating relatively high barriers to entry.
3. Soft factors are important: We like the soft factors such as the good and long relationships that Kencana and SapuraCrest have in the Malaysia oil and gas industry. We are confident this would allow them to remain market leaders in the local scene. However, though barriers to entry are high in Malaysia, the bargaining power of Petronas is much higher than other open markets as they are the single largest client and have most say in contract terms and requirements. They could determine the polices and requirements of the licensing and pre-qualification criteria.
4. Demand for offshore projects in Malaysia/ Asia visible and healthy: The outlook for offshore fabrication, EPCIC projects in Malaysia are expected to remain healthy, along with expectations of E&P spending growth by Petronas. This is further supported by the list of potential offshore tenders in 2010 in Malaysia and in Asia.
5. Key risks – regulatory and political: We believe changes in regulatory (laws and policies linked to offshore oil service licensing and requirements) framework and political conditions in Malaysia, will greatly impact the business climate of the local industry.

Petronas and Malaysia offshore E&P Petronas is the national oil company (NOC) of Malaysia, serving the capacity as a custodian of the Malaysia's oil and gas resources. The NOC is wholly owned by the Malaysia's government and manages all the E&P activities in the country. In recent years, Petronas has been playing a more proactive role in explorating and developing oil and gas resources in Malaysia. Petronas' wholly-owned upstream specialist Petronas Carigali has a track record of successful oil and gas developments. It works along with a number of oil majors through PSCs to explore, develop and produce oil and gas in Malaysia. Most operations are in Malaysia. Similar to other countries, Malaysia and Petronas promote E&P investments through production sharing contract (PSC) mechanism. The NOC controls 100% ownership and exclusive rights in the exploration, development and production of Malaysia's petroleum resources. Exploration Acreages in Malaysia According to Petronas, Malaysia has approx 615,100 sq km of acreages available for oil and gas exploration, of which approx 36% of the existing acreages are covered by production sharing contracts (PSC). There are currently a total of 163 oil fields and 216 gas fields in Malaysia, with a number of significant discoveries made in Shelfal shallow waters. In recent years, Malaysia has also made number of large deepwater discoveries off Sabah. Malaysia's oil basins The continental shelf of Malaysia makes up of six major sedimentary basins and they are divided into three main regions, 1) Peninsular Malaysia, 2) Sabah, and 3) Sarawak. Peninsular Malaysia (shallow to mid-water) The Malay Basin lies in this region, which is located off east of Peninsular Malaysia. It is one of the most prolific hydrocarbon producing basins in Malaysia. Sarawak (shallow-deepwater) In the Sarawak Basin, there are seven key blocks, the West Baram Delta, Balingian, Central Luconia, Tinjar, Tatau, West Luconia and North Luconia. Sabah (deepwater) The Sabah basins consist of three major basins (Sabah Basin, Northeast Sabah Basin and Southeast Sabah Basin). Only the Northwest Sabah basin has offshore exposure and have made significant deepwater oil discoveries in recent years. Figure 16: Location of Malaysia's offshore basins

Malaysia moving to deeper offshore fields to mitigate falling production reserves In 2009, Malaysia's crude oil production has decreased from the peak of 700k bbl/day to 658k bbp/day in 2009 due to decline in reserves and falling reserve replacement ratios.

In order to replace and rescue the falling replacement ratio, the country needs to move to deeper and more remote basins to seek out new discoveries in Malaysia's continental shelf.
According to Petronas' resources reports, deepwater oilfields now accounts for 15% of the NOC's total reserves.
Going forward, Petronas aims to secure new acreages and undertake various development projects to increase reserves and production. One of the key drivers identified by the company is in deepwater E&P, given that there are many promising prospects emerging in acreages off Malaysia. Significant discoveries off deepwater Sabah blocks have resulted in deepwater developments, such as the extensive subsea pipelines invested by Petronas, benefiting local offshore players with exposure in Malaysia.

Malaysia and Petronas' E&P outlook In the view of higher oil price environment and Petronas' guidance, we expect to see higher activity in the oil and gas industry in Malaysia, in particular the offshore segment where most marginal oil can be found. In 2009, Petronas discovered one new offshore shallow water oil field PAUS in Sarawak and one new gas field Sepat Barat off Peninsular Malaysia. Total number of producing fields in Malaysia has reached 104 (out of which 68 are oil fields and the rest gas fields), up from 88 in 2008.
According to industry sources, Petronas is expected to increase E&P spending from last year 2009 MYRbn 28 to MYRbn 43 by 2012, mainly driven by higher deepwater exploration (off Sabah blocks) and drilling activities. This represents a 4-year CAGR of 8%.

To ensure the long-term sustainability (replacing resources) and growth of the oil and gas industry in Malaysia, we believe Petronas is likely to maintain an relatively aggressive capex plan. Petronas and partners are likely to continue active engagement in exploration, production and development of oil and gas resources in Malaysia. Capex investments are necessary to maintain or improve Petronas' reserves replacement ratio and to promote the local oil and gas industry. Being a NOC, Petronas has obligations to spend and ensure the sustained growth and systematic development of the country’s petroleum industry. It is unlikely that Petronas will cut spending locally in face of government pressure to maintain growth domestically. According to economists, spending by Petronas has big multiplier effect on the Malaysian economy.

We like the soft factors such as the good and long relationships that Kencana and SapuraCrest have in the Malaysia oil and gas industry. We are confident this would allow them to remain market leaders in the local scene.
However, though barriers to entry are high in Malaysia, the bargaining power of Petronas is much higher than other open markets as they are the single largest client and have most say in contract terms and requirements. They could determine the polices and requirements of the licensing and pre-qualification criteria. And they are unlikely to award contracts which result in supernormal profits. Petronas is known to be good in streamlining costs and contract negotiations. Demand for offshore projects in Malaysia/ Asia visible and healthy The outlook for offshore fabrication, EPC projects in Malaysia are expected to remain healthy, along with expectations of E&P spending growth by Petronas. This is further supported by the list of potential offshore tenders in 2010 in Malaysia and in Asia, as highlighted below. Among the local players, Kencana is one of the leading fabrication/ EPCC contractors, while SapuraCrest is one of the top EPCIC (focusing on engineering and installation and commissioning) contractors in Malaysia. This allows them to be well-positioned for Petronas' and local industry tenders, estimated to worth up to USDbn 2-3 in 2010.

Technology sharing with foreign partners Given that the offshore oil and gas industry in Malaysia is still enjoying relatively good growth numbers, foreign players will be attracted to the market. And because of the implied local content requirements, foreign companies who wish to join in the market will require local JV partnerships in order to bid for projects. In return, the domestic companies can enhance their technical knowledge, resulting in transfer and sharing of technology in such collaborations. They can also tie-up with foreign partners, targeting at overseas markets which require similar arrangements. One such instance is the SapuraAcergy which was initiated by Malaysia's SapuraCrest and Norway's Acergy, to utilize the high-spec CSV Sapura 300 vessel.
Key risk – regulatory and political We believe changes in regulatory (laws and policies linked to offshore oil service licensing and requirements) framework and political conditions in Malaysia will greatly impact the business climate of the local industry.
Company specifics In this section, we provide key updates on the companies currently under our coverage and initiate coverage on three offshore names: Singapore's Jaya Holdings and Malaysia's SapuraCrest and Kencana.

Jaya Holdings Asset (vessel) reflation holds the key to valuation Jaya is one of the leading shipbuilders in Asia, with shipyards in Singapore, Batam Indonesia, and China. The yard specialises in small-mid size offshore support vessels (OSV) such as AHTS, PSV and barges. Jaya also owns and charters a fleet of 20 OSVs for charters, made up mainly of bareboat and time charters, with contract length ranging from months to 2-3 years. Unlike other conventional shipyards which build vessels upon order, Jaya builds vessels, under its internal newbuild plan, for sale when the vessels are close to completion or ready. And based on market demand for new vessels and chartering opportunites, the newbuild vessels are either sold or added to the existing chartering fleet. This makes Jaya extremely cyclical and they were distressed in 2009, but restructured without dilution for shareholders. Although we are still conservative regarding charter rates in the OSV segment for the next 1-2 years, vessel values seem to have stabilized. Business divisions • Yards (shipbuilding & shiprepair) – owns and operates three shipyards in
Singapore, Indonesia (Batam) and China (Nantong/ Qidong). The three yards have a combined shipbuilding capacity of 6-8x OSVs ranging 4,000-16,000bhp for AHTS and 3-4 barges of 3,000-10,000dwt over a 15-month building cycle. The vessel types which Jaya specialize in include AHTS (5,000-16,000bhp), PSV (1,000-3,000dwt), Utility supply vessels, tugs and accomm work barges (1,000-10,000dwt).
• Shipchartering – owns an existing fleet of 20 vessels, mainly on bareboat and time charters. The vessels are primarily available for sale if right prices and opportunities come along.
• Newbuilds currently under construction internally for sale: 8x 5,150bhp AHTS, 11x 8,000bhp AHTS, 5x 12,000bhp AHTS, 2x 16,000bhp AHTS, 3x 3,000dwt PSV, 3x ROVs capable of water depth up to 300m, and 4x 9,000dwt barges.
• 3 shipyards in Singapore, Batam and China. Recent development • Successful completion in debt restructuring in Jan 2010, converting
existing debt due in 2010 into 5-year secured term loan, with a 2-year principal payment holiday in calendar year 2010 and 2011.
• Q3 FY2010 earnings release. • Contracted for sale 7x vessels (5x 5,000bhp AHTS + 1x 3,000dwt PSV +
1x accom barge) for USDm 110, which would be recognized/ sold over the next two quarters (Q4 FY2010 and Q1 FY2011).
Expected news-flow • Potential vessel sales announcements. Valuation DCF 1.08 SGD/share, NAV 1.11 SGD/share, 2011 EV/EBITDA and P/E 8.8x and 10.8x respectively. Based on our NAV, the implied valuation of the yard stands at SGD/sh 0.42, 5x 2011 EV/EBITDA, which is comparable to peers with similar yards. We initiate Jaya with BUY recommendation with target SGD/sh 1 as we believe the FMV of the vessels under Jaya's newbuild plan have been overlooked by investors. Based on our expectations that vessel prices have found bottom, we see limited downside risks of Jaya selling its newbuilds below our NAV and argue that the share price looks attractive on risk reward basis. We see potential price trigger from vessel sales.

Valuation summary We have adopted net asset value (NAV) and discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation frameworks to value Jaya. Between the two, we prefer to base our valuation on NAV as we argue Jaya is an asset heavy company. The core business of building vessels in its own book and selling them subsquently on a continual renewal basis. Below is the fleet summary of Jaya, which includes the upcoming newbuilds that the yard is looking to sell eventually when the vessels are ready. Based on NAV caculation, we have arrived at a NAV of SGD/sh 1.11. NAV of vessels are derived from a number of factors: 1) Second-hand market values of comparable vessels to Jaya (discounted to present values if vessels are delivered in forward years), from independent shipbrokers, and recent transacted prices; 2) Floor values of vessels if they are backed by term-charters; 3) In-house research; and 4) % mark-up from the cost of building the vessels from similar yards. We do not have the contract (dayrates) breakdown of each individual vessel on existing chartering fleet and there are no pre-existing charters on the newbuilds. Hence, we have limitations in valuing the free-cash flow of each vesel, which would otherwise form the floor value of the vessel.

For DCF, the key assumption is based on the expected incremental cashflow from each vessel built and subsquently sold, modeled after the yard's capacity and expectation of the number of vessels sold each year. Our DCF model values Jaya at SGD/sh 1.08. Based on both of our valuation approaches, we recommend a BUY on Jaya, tp SGD/sh 1. We believe the fair market value of the vessels under Jaya's newbuild plan have been overlooked by investors. Our NAV implies that the company is undervalued. But we do caution that Jaya's business model is extremely cyclical.

Key Investment Summary We initiate Jaya with BUY recommendation with target SGD/sh 1 as we argue that current share price is undervalued against our NAV. We believe Jaya has been over-looked by investors due to the debt restructuring matter and lack of research coverage. Jaya's business model is extremely cyclical and they were distressed in 2009, but restructured without dilution for shareholders. Although we are still conservative regarding charter rates in the OSV segment for the next 1-2 years, vessel values seem to have stabilized. Vessel prices are key to Jaya's valuation as building and selling vessels form its main business model. Hence, we argue that market timing (vessel sales) is important for Jaya in value creation. The existing reconfigured shipbuilding program will keep the yard busy for at least FY2010 and FY2011. As such, potential key valuation trigger would lie in the sale price of existing newbuild commitments. Based on our OSV market outlook in the earlier segments of the report, we believe vessel prices have bottomed out. We believe Jaya will be able to sell its vessels at our NAV valuation. We argue that the share price looks attractive on risk reward basis, pricing at undemanding 0.56x of NAV. We also see further upside in valuation from higher than expected vessel sale prices on continuing asset (vessel) reflation. Figure 29: Business model at a glance

Unlike other conventional shipyards which build vessel upon order, Jaya builds vessels, under its internal newbuild plan, for sale when the vessels are close to completion or ready. And based on market demand for new vessels and chartering opportunites, the newbuild vessels are either being sold or being added to the existing chartering fleet. And for the existing owned fleet of 20 vessels, mainly on bareboat and time charters, the vessels are primarily available for sale if right prices and opportunities come along. The chartering agreements are flexible for vessel switch in the event that the vessel is sold.

Further impairment loss on vessels unlikely We believe Jaya has made most of the provisions in FYQ409 at SGDm 99 - which explains the shortfall in newbuild commitments stated previously and currently. Hence if vessel sales are able to materialize as expected, within our NAV price range, we are positive on forward earnings in Q42010 and 2011. Revenues visibility over next two quarters from firm vessels sale Jaya has recently contracted 7x vessels (5x 5,000bhp AHTS + 1x 3,000dwt PSV + 1x accom barge) for sale amounting to USDm 110 (SGDm 154), which would be recognized over the next two quarters. No longer a distress case In June last year, Jaya announced that it had to restructure its debt caused by the global economic downturn. Vessel sales, key driver of Jaya's operating cashflows, had been negatively impacted by the weak OSV market conditions. Due to weak vessel sales and large number of newbuilds in progress before the downturn, Jaya's shipbuilding commitments peaked and creditors (banks) were reluctant to roll over their existing credit facilities. And in Jan 2010, Jaya has successfully completed its debt restructuring which allow the company to convert its existing debt due in 2010 of SGDm 363 into a 5-year secured term obligations denominated in USD. There will be a 2-year principal payment holiday between 2010-2011, after which quarterly repayments begin from calendar year 2012/ financial year 2013 (June year-end) onwards with the amount to be repaid as highlighted below. This arrangement is similar to a bullet like bond which enjoys principal holiday for the next two years. The debt has been restructured in a USD denominated debt as most vessel sales are done in USD. The interest costs of the debt are variable, pegged at SIBOR + 2.5% points spread. Though the debt is pledged and secured by the newbuild vessels, the creditors allow Jaya the full control of its own operations, with the discretion to sell the vessels. Based on our understanding with the management, there are no restrictive covenants (such as financial ratios to meet) in the debt agreement. We see this term as especially beneficial for Jaya.

Debt Profile & Capex Quantifying the newbuild plan - outstanding capex est SGDm 578 Based on our internal cost assumptions on the newbuilds Jaya are building, we estimate the total capex/ cost of the 36 vessels to amount SGDm 930+. Our assumptions are drawn from adjusted Jaya's historical shipbuilding margins (20% EBITDA margins) and comparable costs to build similar vessel at other shipyards in Asia. And from the current (Q4 FY2010) stocks and WIP of SGDm 334 and fleet completion schedule, we estimate that the remaining capex (cost) of building the 36 vessels at SGDm 578, supported by figures of SGDm 614 provided by the management. We expect capex commitments to be met primarily by vessel sales (positive working capital due to earnings income and reversal in stocks and WIP) when the vessels are delivered this year and 2011. We do not see immediate need for financing or liquidity as Jaya enjoys a two-year principal repayment holiday. Given the principal holiday, we are modeling additional debt financing (though lower) when the loans are repaid. Figure 31: Key capex assumptions for the existing outstanding newbuild plan
Key segment - Shipbuilding Jaya is running a "build for sale" instead of a typical "build upon order" shipyard model. Jaya focuses on building the larger vessels, while the smaller vessels are being outsourced to Chinese yards for the advantage of scalability. Figure 35: Shipyards' capabilities

The current order backlog of 36 new vessels (one PSV already completed) is fully initiated by its internal newbuild programme, which Jaya is looking to sell or charter (internal chartering fleet) the vessels when nearing completion or completed. But with everything else equal, Jaya prefers to do a outright sale than chartering the vessel, to free up cashflows. Based on internal rate of return required by the company and potential opportunity costs, we understand that Jaya is unlikely to take up external pre-order for vessels as margins (8-12%) from such contracts are comparatively less lucrative.

Chartering segment In the chartering segment, Jaya currently owns an existing fleet of 20 vessels, mainly on bareboat and time charters. The vessels are primarily available for sale if right prices and opportunities come along. Figure 37: Existing chartering fleet
Earnings estimates The key assumptions of our segment estimates are explained below. In general, we expect some degree of variability in Jaya's earnings due to the lumpy nature of the shipbuilding segment where vessel sales may vary accordingly to demand and delivery schedule. In the offshore shipping segment, Jaya may also sells the vessels in its existing fleet, which will impact chartering revenues on aggregate. Figure 38: Segment breakdown estimates (in SGDm) Shipbuilding 2007 2008 2009 2010E 2011E 2012EOperating Revenues 237 235 173 165 350 402EBITDA 71 61 27 39 70 80EBITDA margin 30% 26% 16% 24% 20% 20%EBIT 69 60 25 37 68 78EBIT margin 29% 25% 14% 22% 19% 19%
Shipbuilding segment Shipbuilding revenues are recognized when a completed vessel is sold, inline with accounting matching principle. Hence, we expect lumpiness in revenues and earnings.

The key assumptions and drivers of the shipbuilding segment are found below. In summary, we are modeling our estimates based on the expected number of vessels being sold from its existing newbuild plan (36x vessels) stretching to FY2014, and thereafter on a continual newbuild replacement basis (based on the yard's capacity) and expectations of future new vessel sales. We expect EBITDA margins at 20% levels as further impairment on vessels currently under construction unlikely as we believe Jaya has already made most of the provisions in Q42009 for SGDm 99. Historical EBITDA margins in this segment were at 3-year average of 24% from 2007-2009. Potential cost overruns for the larger vessels (AHTS > 15,000bhp) unlikely as Jaya has done two 15,000+bhp AHTS for DESSC before. Based on track records, Jaya's yards have the technical and project management capability to build large vessels.

Offshore shipping segment We have adjusted the operating margins in this segment to exclude gains from sale of vessels reported in the income. We saw a wide range of margins in the past three years due to vessels' mix, count and contract types (bareboat, term or spot). Between 2007-2009, the average adjusted EBITDA margins were ranging from 31-81% Figure 41: Segment estimates (in SGDm) Offshore Shipping 2007 2008 2009 2010E 2011E 2012EOperating Revenues 69 71 90 61 63 67EBITDA 49 57 28 33 21 25EBITDA margin 70% 81% 31% 53% 33% 37%EBIT 34 42 12 17 5 7EBIT margin 49% 59% 13% 28% 8% 11% Source: DnB NOR Markets
There is no fixed fleet size as the chartering vessels are open for sale if prices are right. There is no breakdown in dayrates for each vessel sub-segment, hence, the historical dayrates (such as 2009 which is shown below) were calculated with our estimated rates for each vessel type against the total reported revenues. In our base case assumptions, we do not assume any change in current reported fleet count and mix given that the valuation has been captured in our NAV and DCF valuation. We are currently modeling flat developments in dayrates and opex for Jaya's fleet.

Kencana Petroleum Bet on Malaysia's fabrication and EPCC market Kencana Petroleum is a Malaysia-based oil service company, focusing on providing EPCC services, marine engineering and offshore marine support services in primarily the domestic and Asia regions. Apart from its main core EPCC, the company has moved into building, refurbishing, repairing and converting marine vessels and offering of offshore drilling services (with Mermaid Maritime) as well as the charter of vessels and rigs with partners. To build up core capabilities and expertise, Kencana has been pursuing expansion strategy through strategic alliances as well as mergers and acquisitions. Backed by its established track records, Kencana is one of the preferred integrated service provider for upstream players in the industry. In Malaysia, there are currently only 7 major offshore fabrication contractors who are approved by Petronas and Production Sharing Contract operators (PSC), and have the license to participate in Petronas' tenders. Kencana is one of the contractors with such status. We like Kencana for its exposure in the Malaysia's oil service industry, with the company currently look at MYRbn 7.5 worth of fabrication tenders. Soft factors, such as the strong working relationships forged with Malaysia's NOC Petronas (evident in their project wins), are something we rate highly in this relatively protected local market. The company has an order book of close to MYRbn 1 (USDm 340) in EPC projects, keeping its yard busy till 2011. Kencana is looking to maintain a minimum base fabrication order backlog of MYRbn 1, through new contracts, at any one time. Business divisions • EPCC/ Marine engineering services – core business of providing
EPCC services in engineering and design, fabrication of production facilities (platforms, jackets, wellheads), modules & process skid systems (subsea manifolds), installation (usually out-sourced for offshore installations), hook-up & commissioning.
• Offshore support services – plans to expand the fleet to include more marine assets, to provide a wide range of offshore services in the oil and gas industry including the charter of rigs and marine vessels.
• Drilling services - plans to operate tender rigs and to drill in Malaysian waters. Currently partnering (25% direct stake in the rig) Mermaid Maritime in providing tender rig KM-1 to Petronas on a 5+3+2 year drilling contract, expected to commence FY2011.
Assets • 543,000 sqm fabrication yard in Malaysia, with 24/7 covered workshops
providing specialised steel fabrication and infrastructure. • 25% ownership in the tender drilling rig KM-1. Recent development • Rights issue raising MYRm 183 in Feb. • New fabrication of LNG jetty and marine structures worth MYRm 166 in
May, from Saipem for the Gorgon project off Australia. • New contracts of MYRm 189 announced in May for jackets and pipeline
works off Malaysia and India. Expected news-flow • Possible new EPCC contracts from the upcoming tenders in Malaysia
(Petronas) and other Asian regions. • Q3 FY2010 (Financial year-end July) in late June. Valuation SOTP valuation - SGD/sh 1.55. 2011 P/E of 13x and 2011 EV/EBITDA of 8x. We initiate Kencana with a BUY, tp of SGD/sh 1.60. We argue that Kencana deserves to be trading at premium to our NAV due to its market leading position in the protected Malaysia EPCC market. We see share price trigger from potential new EPCC orders in Malaysia and Asia, providing the driver for earnings growth.

Valuation summary Our key valuation approach is Sum of the Parts (SOTP) valuation based on DCF valuation of the EPCC and OSV segments, and NAV of the tender drilling rig KM-1 (25% owned by Kencana). We value KM-1 using our standard fair market values of similar rigs, similar as our approach for the offshore companies under our coverage, adjusted for individual contracts. Based on this, we have arrived at a SOTP valuation of SGD/sh 1.55. We initiate Kencana with a BUY, tp of SGD/sh 1.60. We argue that Kencana deserves to be trading at premium to our NAV due to its market leading position in the protected Malaysia fabrication and EPCC market. We see upside catalyst from potential new EPCIC order flow in Malaysia and Asia, providing the earnings driver for growth. Key risks to our valuation Key risks include lack of order flow in the EPC market, project execution risks, rising raw material costs (steel) negatively impacting margins, and weaker oil prices (USD 50-60/bbl region) negatively impacting the macro E&P outlook.

Key Investment Summary Protected home market favours local boys like Kencana Backed by its established track records, Kencana is one of the preferred integrated service provider for upstream players in the industry. In the Malaysian offshore fabrication industry, there are currently only 7 major offshore fabrication contractors who are approved by Petronas and Production Sharing Contract operators (PSC), and have the license to participate in Petronas' tenders. Kencana is one of contractors with such status since 2002. Strong working relationships forged with Petronas are vital We like Kencana for its exposure in the Malaysia oil service industry, with an estimated USDbn 2 worth of upcoming offshore EPCC tenders. The company has been very active in the offshore marine engineering segment in recent years. Soft factors, such as the strong working relationships forged with Malaysia's NOC Petronas (evident in their project wins), are something we rate highly in this relatively protected local market. This allows Kencana to gain competitive advantage over its international and domestic players. We believe the key management of Kencana has the right experience and network, putting the company in strong position in securing new orders domestically. Overseas expansion adds growth and diversity We are also hopeful with potential new tenders in Asia, such as in Australia (relating to Western LNG projects). Kencana has recently secured a MYRm 166 fabrication and supply of pre-assembled rack for the LNG jetty and marine structures of the Chevron's Gorgon LNG project, from the main contractor Saipem. Key management has the right experience and network We rate the management of Kencana highly for their track record in project management (positive margins in last three years since listing), steady order flow (MYRbn 1.1 in FY2008/ FY2009, and MYRbn 2.2 in FY2007), and the experience and network the management brings to the table, with Dato' Mokhzani leading the team. Group Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Mokhzani bin Mahathir, aged 49, was appointed to the Board on 25 Nov 2004 and presently he is the Group CEO. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1987. He began his career as a Wellsite Operations Engineer with Sarawak Shell in 1987. He later joined Tongkah Holdings Berhad in 1989 and was appointed as the Group Managing Director, a post he held till 2001. He was also the Chairman and Group CEO of Pantai Holdings till 2001. He now sits on the Board of Goldtron (Singapore), Opcom Holdings, Maxis, Kencana Capital and several private limited companies. He is also the Chairman of Sepang International Circuit, a post he has held since 2003. Dato' Mokhzani is the second son of the former Malaysia's Prime Minister Tun Dr Mathathir and Tun Dr Siti Hasmah. Executive Director Chong Hin Loon, aged 62, was appointed to the Board on 15 Sep 2005 and presently he is the Executive Director of Kencana, primarily responsible for the operations, project management and yard operations of the Group. He holds an MBA in Advanced Strategic Management from Northwestern International University and a Diploma in Shipbuilding Construction from Singapore. He started his career in 1970 with Keppel FELS in Singapore. He later joined Promet Pte Ltd, Singapore, as a Project Engineer where he was responsible for the construction of oil rigs, vessels, ship repairs and other marine facilities in the oil and gas sector. In 1976, he joined Maroil Shipbuilding & Engineering Pte Ltd as a Project and Construction Manager where he was heavily involved in oil and gas related projects. He later moved back to Malaysia in 1982 where he started his own contractor line and subsequently established Kencana HL, as subcontractor principally engaged in oil and gas fabrication, process piping and pipeline construction,

plant maintenance, skilled manpower supply and project management. He has more than 39 years of experience in the oil and gas industry as well as the shipbuilding and ship repair industry. Executive Director Ir. Cher Lee Kiat was appointed to the Board on 15 Sep 2005 and presently he is the Executive Director of Kencana. He obtained his Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Chemical) from the University of Malaya. He started work as a Process Design Engineer in 1979 with Esso Singapore Refinery. In 1983, he joined Protek Engineers, an engineering consultancy company based in Kuala Lumpur, as a Process Engineer. He was promoted to Senior Process Engineer and was also Project Manager for the detailed designs of several offshore platforms for ExxonMobil and Shell. He then left in 1989 to join Petrokon Utama, an engineering consultancy company based in Negara Brunei Darussalam, as Team Leader handling projects for Brunei Shell’s onshore facilities. In 1992, he was promoted to Operations Manager in charge of the overall running of the company. He returned to Malaysia in 1994 and formed Kencana Bestwide Group, where he is now the Managing Director. Order backlog to provide good visibility As of Q2FY2010, the company has a solid EPC order book of MYRbn 1.1, including new contracts of MYRm 304 in May. This excludes MYRm 827 worth of KM-1 drilling backlog, which would be recognized in the new offshore drilling segment. The EPC backlog should keep the yard busy till FY2011. According to the management, Kencana is looking to maintain a minimum base order backlog of MYRbn 1, through new contracts, at any one time. Competition space within Malaysia EPCC market is limited. We expect current order backlog to provide revenue visibility through to FY2011. Margins likely to stay strong due to lower execution risks Kencana does not do offshore installation works as it usually out-sources the jobs to other contractors which have construction support vessels. Hence, we believe margins are likely to maintain at good levels, as shown historically. This is backed by the grounds that the projects Kencana are undertaking are mainly being built at its own yard, which has established track records (since 1982) and project management expertise. The average historical 3-year EBITDA margins, from FY2007-2009, was at 12%. Key share price trigger - upcoming project radar screen According to the list of upcoming EPCIC projects in Malaysia and Asia complied by ODS, we are positive on the potential fabrication projects pipeline which Kencana is operating in. In the Malaysia home market, Kencana is currently looking at MYRbn 7.5 worth of tenders. We believe Kencana is one of the better positioned players in winning the tenders. Some of which we rate Kencana and its consortium as favourites would be the Petronas' last of the four merged transport and installation (TNI) packages worth USDm 887 and the KPOC's 7-8,000-tonne jacket off deepwater Sabah. Kencana's share of the contract is likely to be fabrication works in the range of MYRm 500. Contract wins will provide positive newsflow and earnings growth visibility, which are positive for valuations and share price. Based on historical records, we expect Kencana to maintain positive and decent margins on future new orders. Demand for offshore projects visible and healthy The outlook for offshore fabrication, EPC projects in Malaysia are expected to remain healthy, along with expectations of E&P spending growth by Petronas. This is further supported by the list of potential offshore tenders in 2010 in Malaysia and in Asia, as highlighted below. Among the local players, Kencana, MMSC and Sime Darby are one of the top fabrication contractors in Malaysia, allowing them to be well-positioned

Leveraging of foreign partners for overseas growth Due to the implied local content requirements, foreign companies who wish to join in the local market (Malaysia) are likely to tie-up with local players (such as Alam with Swiber, Acergy with SapuraCrest). We believe this is beneficial for the Malaysian players as they can tie-up with foreign partners in return, targeting at overseas markets which require similar arrangements.

Source: Company Kencana Mermaid Drilling The company marks its entry into offshore drilling rigs and drilling related services when it expects to take delivery (revised) of its first tender assisted drilling rig KM-1 in mid-Aug 2010 (Q1 FY2011). The contract cost of the rig is USDm 136, ordered in 2008. The rig was originally scheduled for delivery in 2009 but was delayed to due initial learning cycle, common in the industry. KM-1 comprises of a self-erecting tender rig and a derrick equipment set and was fabricated and built at the Kencana Fabrication Yard. There are two separate entities behind the ownership structure of KM-1 and the drilling contract to be performed by the rig. The rig is owned by Mermaid Kencana Rig 1 (MKR1), which is 25% owned by Kencana and 75% by Mermaid Drilling. Kencana Mermaid Drilling (KMD), 60% owned by Kencana and 40% owned by Mermaid Drilling, is the entity which has secured the drilling contract from PCSB valued at USDm 235 (MYRm 827) in Oct 2008. KMD is responsible for operating and utilizing KM-1 for this contract. Figure 49: Shareholding arrangement of KM-1

Earnings estimates Marine engineering and EPCIC services are classified as one reporting unit. Historically, Kencana did not provide breakdown in segment reporting as the EPCIC and marine engineering operations are mainly based in Malaysia and MTJDA. The company considers these geographical areas to be significantly similar and therefore deemed them as a single geographical segment. The financial year-end for Kencana is in July.

Marine engineering segment estimates - driven by new orders The company currently has a solid EPC order book of MYRm 1,128 (excluding MYRm 827 worth of KM-1 drilling backlog). According to the management, Kencana is looking to maintain a minimum base fabrication order backlog of MYRbn 1, through new contracts, at any one time. Competition space within Malaysia EPCIC market is limited. We expect current order backlog to provide revenue visibility through to FY2011.

For our new EPCIC order assumptions, we are modeling new orders of MYRm 400 in Q3-4 FY2010 (July-end), MYRm 1,350 in FY2011 and MYRm 1,400 in FY2012. Our new orders expectations are based on the potential hit rate of 10-20% for the upcoming onshore and offshore tenders in Malaysia and Asia, and management's guidance that they are looking to maintain their order book at MYRbn 1 at any one point of time.

We are modeling EBITDA margins of 16% for 2HFY2010-2012. We expect margins to continue at such levels on existing current order backlog. Our assumptions are also supported by Q1 and Q2 FY2010, which posted 17% and 19% EBITDA margins respectively. The 3-year (2007-2009) average EBITDA margins were 12%.

Drilling segment – backed by term contract At present, there is only one drilling rig operating in this segment – tender rig KM-1. We are modeling our estimates based on the announced contract terms of MYRm 827 for firm five years (with an option for additional 3+2 years), giving us an approx dayrate of 430' MYR/day (125' USD/day). We expect to see meaningful contributions from Q1FY2011 as the rig is only expected to be delivered in mid-Aug 2010. Figure 55: Dayrates and opex estimates

As mentioned earlier, there are two structures (MKR 1 and KMD) to this deal. Kencana would be recognizing the MYRm 827 as topline revenues, given the drilling contract is owned by KMD (60% owned by Kencana). However, in order to fulfill the drilling requirements, KMD is chartering in the tender rig KM-1 from MKR-1 (owned 25% by Kencana). Therefore, we are modeling high opex for this contract as most of the costs are associated with the bareboat charter of KM-1. We expect the main profits of the contract to be booked at the MKR-1 level through the bareboat rate, which would be equity accounted in Kencana.

Q3 FY2010 earnings preview Kencana will report Q3 FY2010 earnings in late June, the exact date is not confirmed. We expect margins to be strong in this quarter on the assumptions that productivity and project efficiency will see improvements as Kencana is executing on existing order backlog. We expect to see some degree of volatility in revenues as they are driven by % completion schedule which some projects are seasonal in nature.

SapuraCrest Petroleum Bet on Malaysia's oil service market The SapuraCrest's involvement in the oil and gas industry span across areas of offshore drilling, installation of pipelines and facilities, marine services, offshore and near-shore marine engineering, the design, manufacture and operation of remote-operated vehicles as well as maintenance activities for the oil and gas, marine and power utility industries. SapuraCrest is currently one of the largest integrated oil and gas services provider in Malaysia. Backed by established track records, SapuraCrest is one of the preferred integrated service provider in the industry. We like SapuraCrest for its leadership position in the Malaysia's oil service industry, particularly in the IPF, offshore drilling and development and offshore support services. Based on our understanding, the company is currently bidding for MYRbn 6 worth of projects in Malaysia, Australia and India. Soft factors, such as the strong working relationships forged with Malaysia's NOC Petronas (evident in their project wins at MYRbn 5 from Petronas over the past three years), are something we value highly in this relatively protected local Malaysia market. The company has a solid order book of close to MYRbn 11 (USDbn 3) in IPF projects. Historical order backlog has remained fairly consistent, hovering around MYRbn 3-5. Business divisions • Installation of Pipelines & Facilities (IPF) services – Transportation
and installation of offshore pipelines and facilities through TL Offshore and Sarku Marine.
• Drilling services – 51:49 JV with Seadrill, managing and operating a fleet (5x) of self erecting tender drilling rigs in production, drilling, workover & associated services.
• Marine services – Providing offshore support services such as geophysical surveys, construction support, topside maintenance in hook-up commissioning, platform repairs and maintenance services, ROV inspection & intervention, diving support, and accommodation services.
• Operations & Maintenance – Providing onshore support services such as wellhead maintenance, and total management system for Petronas' petrol stations and convenient stores in Malaysia.

Valuation summary We have adopted net asset value (NAV) and discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation frameworks to value SapuraCrest. Between the two, we prefer to base our valuation on NAV as we argue the company is asset heavy. The operations of providing offshore pipeline and facilities installations (heavylift construction vessels), offshore development drilling (tender rigs/barges), and marine support (OSVs) require offshore units and vessels which are capital intensive. Below is the fleet summary of SapuraCrest, with some vessels being co-owned with partners such as Acergy, Seadrill and L&T. Based on NAV valuation, we have arrived at a NAV of MYR/sh 2.56. NAV of the vessels are derived from a number of factors: 1) Second-hand market values of comparable vessels to SapuraCrest (discounted to present values if vessels are delivered in forward years), from independent shipbrokers, and recent transacted prices; 2) Floor values of vessels if they are backed by term-charters; 3) In-house research; and 4) % mark-up from the cost of building the vessels from regional yards. And on a DCF valuation approach (key drivers - new EPC - IPF order assumptions and offshore drilling and marine contract rates), our model indicates a value of MYR/sh 2.59. We initiate SapuraCrest with a BUY, tp of SGD/sh 2.60 and argue that SapauraCrest deserves to be priced above NAV for its leading market position in the protected Malaysia market. We see upside catalyst from potential new order flow in Malaysia and Asia, providing the earnings driver for growth. Key risks to our valuation Key risks include lack of order flow in the EPC (pipeline and facilities) market, project execution risks, rising raw material costs negatively impacting margins, lower than expected contract rates for the drilling rigs, slowdown in activities in marine services and weaker oil prices (USD 50-60/bbl region).

Key Investment Summary Market leader in Malaysia We like SapuraCrest for its leadership position in the Malaysia's oil service industry (IPF, offshore drilling and development and offshore support services). It is currently one of the largest integrated oil and gas services provider in Malaysia. The company has steadily expanded its operations beyond the shores of Malaysia to markets stretching from India to China and Indonesia to Australia. We estimate that there will be approx USDbn 2-3 worth of upcoming EPCIC tenders in Malaysia alone and rate SapuraCrest as one of the better-positioned players to win the tenders (focusing on the transportation and installation works). In offshore development drilling, we expect activity levels to remain strong in the offshore Malaysia and MTJDA regions. Based on our understanding, the company is currently bidding for MYRbn 6 worth of projects in Malaysia, Australia and India. Order backlog to provide good visibility The company has a solid order book of close to MYRbn 11 (USDbn 3) in IPF projects. Historical order backlog has remained fairly consistent, hovering average around MYRbn 3-5. We expect current order backlog to provide revenue visibility and keep the company busy through to FY2011. Strong working relationships forged with Petronas are vital Soft factors, such as the strong working relationships forged with Malaysia's NOC Petronas (evident in their project wins at MYRbn 5 from Petronas over the past three years), are something we value highly in this protected local market. This allows SapuraCrest to gain competitive advantage over its international and domestic players. Key management has the right experience and network We rate the management of SapuraCrest highly, among the Malaysia oil service players, for their track record, steady order flow (MYRbn 4 in FY2010 (Jan year-end), MYRbn 3 in FY2009, and MYRbn 5 in FY2008), and the experience and network the management brings to the table. Non-Executive Chairman Dato' Hamzah Bakar, a Malaysian, was appointed as Chairman of the Company on 25 July 2003. He has served 20 years in various senior management and board positions in Petronas, including SVP for Refining and Marketing and SVP for Corporate Planning & Development. Prior to joining Petronas, Dato' Hamzah served in the Economic Planning Unit (EPU), Prime Minister's Department for 12 years. Executive Vice Chairman Datuk Shahril Shamsuddin, a Malaysian, is the President and CEO of the Sapura Group since 1997. Datuk Shahril has held several senior positions in the Sapura Group since 1985. Among the awards and honors that Datuk Shahril has received include the Panglima Jasa Negara (PJN) from the Federal Government of Malaysia which carries the title Datuk (June 1998), Darjah Seri Paduka Tuanku Ja'afar (SPTJ) from Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, which carries the title Dato Seri (July 2007) and the Legion d Honneur from the Republic of France (Nov 2007). Datuk Shahril has also won the 2009 Ernest & Young Entrepreneur Award in Malaysia. Chief Executive Officer En. Rohaizad, a Malaysian citizen, was appointed CEO in Feb 2010, and has been involved in the oil & gas industry for the past 22 years, beginning his career with Petronas Gas and thereafter with Esso Production Malaysia Inc. En. Rohaizad has been with the Sapura Group for the past 9 years and held the post of Chief Operating Officer of SapuraCrest Petroleum Berhad from mid 2008.

Margins volatility unavoidable but unlikely to see negative swings Margins are always one of the key concerns of investors when it comes to EPCIC (IPF) where risks associated with project executions are high. Though we do not rule out margins volatility, we are not expecting SapuraCrest to record negative margins for its IPF segment as we believe SapuraCrest would be disciplined when it comes to project biddings and vessels' rates (charter in construction support vessels to support the installation works) are now at lower levels. The average historical 3-year EBITDA margins of the IPF segment and overall group's, from FY2008-2010, were at 6% and 14% respectively. Key share price trigger - Upcoming project radar screen According to the list of upcoming offshore construction projects in Malaysia and Asia complied by ODS, we are positive on the potential projects pipeline (IPF) which SapuraCrest is operating in. In the Malaysia home market, we expect the country to tender up to USDbn 2-3 worth of offshore construction contracts this year and next. We believe SapuraCrest is one of the better positioned players in these upcoming tenders involving transportation and installation projects. Based on our understanding, the company is currently bidding for MYRbn 6 worth of projects in Malaysia, Australia and India. Some of the projects SapuraCrest are eyeing include 1) topsides replacement for BSP's Champion West Oilfield off Brunei, and 2) offshore installation of a new central processing platform at KPOC's Kebabangan complex off Sabah. Contract wins will provide positive newsflow and earnings growth visibility, which are positive for valuations and share price. Based on historical records, we expect SapuraCrest to maintain positive and decent margins on future new orders. Healthy demand for offshore projects in Malaysia and Asia The outlook for offshore construction projects in Malaysia are expected to remain healthy, along with expectations of E&P spending growth by Petronas. This is further supported by the list of potential offshore tenders in 2010 in Malaysia and in Asia, as highlighted below.

Leveraging of foreign partners for overseas growth Due to the implied local content requirements, foreign companies who wish to join in the local market (Malaysia) are likely to tie-up with local players (such as Alam with Swiber, Acergy/ Seadrill with SapuraCrest). We believe this is beneficial for the Malaysian players as they can tie-up with foreign partners in return, targeting at overseas markets which require similar arrangements.

T-10 tender rig
Offshore drilling services division SapuraCrest has teamed up with Norway's driller Seadrill (51:49% venture), managing and operating a fleet (5x) of self erecting tender drilling rigs in production, drilling, workover & associated services. Seadrill is a leading global offshore drilling company, with 40x modern drilling units ranging from shallow water to ultra-deepwater capability. And Seadrill has been a shareholder of SapuraCrest since 2007 and it currently owns approx 24% stakes in SapuraCrest. Self erecting tender drilling rig Self erecting tender rigs allow shallow waters (average tender rigs water depth) to mid-waters production drilling operations to be performed from a wellhead platform, without the need for a permanently installed drilling package. The tender rig is moored next to the platform where wells are to be drilled and the modularized drilling package is lifted onto the platform. Drilling operations are then supported by facilities on the tender, including storage for drilling supplies, power generation facilities for running the drilling equipment and well completion equipment. The tender also has living quarters and a helicopter deck. Tender rigs are either barge-based or semi-sub hull-based. Both can carry the same equipment, but the semi-sub rig is able to operate in rougher weather conditions. The tender rigs which SapuraCrest own are barge-based rigs. Market outlook of tender rigs Tender rigs are in general cheaper to build than jack-ups and have similar opex as jack-ups but same to higher capabilities. There are limited number of market players in this region (Mermaid Drilling & Kencana, SapuraCrest) and incremental market demand outside the traditional markets in West Africa and Southeast Asia. There are also new opportunities for the increasing interest for the use of tender rigs in deepwater developments. Figure 66: Fleet supporting Drilling services

LTS 3000 (40:60 JV with India's L&T) SapuraCrest and India's Larsen & Toubro (L&T) entered into a 40:60 JV, with L&T taking the larger stake, to build and operate the newbuild heavylift pipelay vessel LTS 3000. The USDm 160 vessel was delivered from Singapore's ASL Marine Shipyard in Q12010. LTS 3000 comes with 290pax DP1 3000tons crane capabilities. It is an all electric ship operating on three engine generator sets with a nominal electrical power load and is designed for heavylift operations and pipelay operations with pipes 6-60" diameter in water depth of up to 150m. Quippo 2000 (26:74 JV with India's APPPL) In Sep 2009, SapuraCrest and India-based AP Prakash Shipping (APPPL) formed a 26:74 Quippo Prakash JV to build and operate the derrick lay barge QP 2000. The 120m shallow water heavylift vessel is equipped with 302pax accommodation, 2000mt crane, and is powered by 6x1230kW generators. The cost of the vessel is at USDm 122. Earnings estimates On a conservative note, we are modeling flattish and lower margins developments across the segments SapuraCrest are operating in. The key segments of driving SapauraCrest's earnings are the IPF and the offshore drilling segments. We are rather cautious about the margins in IPF segment as revenues and margins volatilities are expected due to execution risks (such as weather and equipment schedule) associated with the nature of the business model, which are projects driven.

For the existing order backlog of MYRbn 3 (excluding backlog secured by JV vessels), we expect the backlog to be exhausted by mid-2012 (FY2013). New order assumptions (excluding JV vessels – Sapura 3000, LTS 3000 and Quippo 2000) would be the key driver of forward earnings. Our assumptions are MYRbn 1.2 for remaining FY2011, MYRbn 1.6 for FY2012, and MYRbn 2 for FY2013. Our new orders expectations are based on the potential hit rate of 10-20% for the upcoming onshore and offshore tenders in Malaysia and Asia.

We expect margins in the IPF segment to remain below teens at EBITDA margins 7% levels in FY2011-2013, inline with what was achieved in FY2010 (adjusted for unallocated expenses).

Given our conservatism, key upside risks to our estimates would fall on the performance of the IPF segment which margins may outperform our expectations. Separate assumptions for JV vessels For individual co-owned vessels, we have modeled in separate new orders assumptions. For Sapura 3000, we are modeling new order assumptions of MYRm 400 in FY2011, MYRm 600 in FY2012 and MYRm 1,000 in FY2013. The vessel currently has an existing order backlog of MYRbn 7, which we expect to keep the vessel occupied over FY2011-2013. For LTS 3000, we are modeling new order assumptions of MYRm 200 in FY2011, MYRm 350 in FY2012 and MYRm 400 in FY2013.

Drilling segment estimates We expect the drilling fleet to enjoy relatively stable dayrates in production and development drillings off Malaysia and MTJDA. We believe activity levels in O&G production and development phase off Malaysia and Thailand will continue at healthy levels and are less impacted by volatility in oil prices. The existing fleet of 5x tender drilling rigs are currently on term charters off Malaysia and MTJDA, averaging 1.3 years, with contracts expiring from as soon as Aug 2010 to June 2012.

We expect Carigali Hess (venture between Malaysia's Petronas exploration arm and Hess) to extend the contracts of T-10 and T-6 when they are due in the second half of this year. The rates are expected to stay within existing rates, given that current contracted rates were fixed in 2006 where rates were still far from peaks. SapuraCrest owns 51% of the drilling fleet and contracts, hence contributions from this segment would be consolidated and 49% share for Seadrill would be reflected in minority share of profits. Figure 75: Key rates assumptions for the drilling fleet
Offshore marine services estimates In general, we are modeling relatively flat rates for the DSVs and work barges. Our forecasted rates are adjusted for utilizations which are typically lower than supply vessels as they are projects driven. For the survey vessels, we expect rates to pick up based on our view that seismic activities are well-positioned for growth when growth in E&P spending returns.

Q1 FY2011 earnings preview – IPF margins in focus SapuraCrest will report Q1 FY2011 earnings in late May, the exact date is not confirmed. But we expect SapuraCrest to report on 27 May, the day which Seadrill is reporting its quarterly earnings. We expect to see some degree of volatility in revenues from the IPF segment as they are driven by % completion schedule which some projects are seasonal in nature. Margins from this segment are expected to be in focus as they are the key driving force behind earnings, other than new orders.

CH Offshore AHTS rates development key driver in earnings CH Offshore (CHO) is an offshore support player, providing chartering services through its fleet of AHTS vessels to the offshore oil and gas industry. The company has a business presence in South East Asia, Australia and the Middle East. Riding on the growth in the Australian offshore market, CHO currently has 3x 12,240bhp AHTS operating in the country. As a pure AHTS vessel owner, dayrates is the key earnings driver for the company. Most vessels of CHO are currently under term charters (6-12 months), which provide good earnings visibility over the next few quarters. Business divisions • Marine services – Chartering and managing a fleet of AHTS, with
average age of 3-4 years old. Assets • Fleet of 17x AHTS, with 7x mid-size 12,240bhp (2x newbuild), 8x

Recent development • No major news, company has been focusing on operation execution and
on fixing its newbuild deliveries. • Q3 earnings release. Please see separate report on 13th May for result
update. • Falcon Energy bought a 29% stake in CHO from Malaysia-based Scomi.
The deal was completed on 28th April. We believe this is not a passive investment, Falcon will likely partner CHO to expand into the AHTS market, from its current existing fleet of mainly accommodation support barges.
• In Q1 earnings release, Management cited oversupply situation of offshore support vessels coupled with lower demand is likely to continue to put pressure on chartering rates and vessel utilization.
Expected news-flow • Possible fleet expansion through tie-ups with partners for markets such
as Vietnam, China and Thailand, which are not easy to penetrate. • Possible contracts for the 2x 12,240bhp newbuild AHTS vessels. • Q2 2010 earnings release (year end June) in mid-Feb. Valuation DCF valuation - SGD/sh 0.71 and NAV valuation - SGD /sh 0.73. 2010 P/E of 8x and EV/EBITDA of 6x. We upgrade CHO to BUY based on valuations. But we do not see any near-term triggers until we are able to see visibility in dayrates improvement (when we re-rate the sector).

AHTS rates development key driver in earnings Out of the existing fleet of 17 AHTS vessels + 1 newbuild 12,240bhp AHTS delivered in end March, 16 of them are under term charters. With some of the vessels going off charters, we expect company to announce new contracts or contract extensions for these vessels. However, we expect rates to continue to trend down due to unfavorable supply/demand balance. For vessels contracted in 2008 and coming off charter this year, we expect new charter rates to decline substantially as 2008 was a very strong year.

FEG completed a reverse-takeover of then Singapore-listed Sembawang Music in 2006. In April 2007, FEG announced the divestment of its music-related business to focus on marine and oil & gas industries. FEG's area of operations span across South East Asia, India and Australia. Clientele base includes some of the largest oil majors including Shell, ExxonMobil, Chevron, BP and TOTAL and oil contractors including McDermott, Halliburton, PetroChina, and COSL. Business divisions • Marine services – chartering and managing a fleet of offshore

5,000bhp AHTS, 1x seismic enabled vessel and 1x FSO (40% owned). Recent development • Falcon agreed to buy a 29% stake from Scomi in fellow listed pure AHTS
operator CH Offshore in Feb this year. The deal was completed on 28th April. We believe this is not a passive investment, Falcon will likely partner CHO to expand into the AHTS market, from its current existing fleet of mainly accommodation support barges. We are neutral on this purchase, based on our valuation on CHO.
• Q1 earnings release. Please see separate report on 13th May for result update.
Expected news-flow • Possible fleet expansion. Aims to double the fleet with the next few
years. • Possible contracts arrangements/ JV vessels (AHTS) with CHO. • Possible contracts on FPSO; FEG will also actively develop other oilfield
projects involving FPSO, FSO vessels and other production facilities in conjunction with its existing customer base.
Valuation DCF valuation - SGD/sh 0.65 and NAV valuation - SGD /sh 0.71. 2010 P/E of 7x, 2010 EV/EBITDA of 7x. We upgrade Falcon to BUY, tp SGD/sh 0.70 based on valuations. But, we do not see any near term triggers.

Valuation summary We have adopted discounted cash flow (DCF) and net asset value (NAV) valuation methodology to value Falcon. Below is the fleet summary of Falcon, which we arrived at a NAV of SGD/sh 0.71. For most of the vessels, we do not have the breakdown of each individual vessel’s potential free cash flow and details, which would have formed the floor value of the vessel. Hence, our valuation on those vessels without contract details are based on second hand values in the market, which are likely to be lower as they usually have no contracts attached.

Using a DCF approach, our DCF model values FEG at SGD/sh 0.65. Based on both of our valuation frameworks, we have a BUY rating on FEG, tp of SGD/sh 0.70. In terms of valuation and estimates, we did not model in any new contributions from unannounced newbuild vessels (if any) as the estimates would then become arbitrary. For this reason, there is upside impact on valuation if the economic returns of new vessels/ fleet additions add value.

We reiterate our view that the consolidation (completed in May) is positive (synergies) for the company as it allows KS to streamline, integrate and strengthen its distribution services through stronger networks, cross sellings and shared services. KS is also able to tap into the new markets, such as India and Africa, of its new strategic partner Actics, who is well-established in these markets. Outlook positive for distribution activities Based on market chatters, the industry is starting to see higher business activities in the industrial sector in Asia through higher volume in parts (eg ball bearings) and equipments ordered. This is inline with the general outlook provided by the management. Potential contracts for KS Endeavor and Titan 2 expected soon We expect contract fixtures for the newbuild jack-up drilling rig KS Endeavor and liftboat Titan 2 within this quarter, which we had initially expected in the earlier this quarter. We are modeling 75' USD/day and 45' USD/day for the Endeavor and Titan 2.

Otto Marine Quality of order backlog matters Otto Marine is an offshore marine group engaging in shipbuilding, shiprepair and conversion and ship chartering, with a specialized focus on complex, sophisticated and environment friendly offshore support vessels. Otto Marine currently owns 14 offshore support vessels (OSVs), with newbuild plan up to 24 OSVs by 2010. The company also owns a fleet with strategic partnerships tie-ups, (4 OSVs at the moment, with newbuild plan to increase to 21 OSVs by 2010). Otto Marine provides shipbuilding (including turnkey projects) and shiprepair services from its well-equipped and strategically located Batamec Shipyard in Indonesia. Business divisions • Fleet (shipchartering), 57% of NAV. 1) Own chartering fleet, 2)
Chartering fleet with strategic partnerships. • Yard (shipbuilding & shiprepair), 43% of NAV. Assets • Chartering fleet (owns 100%): 5x 3,600dwt tugs, 5x 10,000dwt
barges, 1x 61m maintenance work vessel, 2x 10,800bhp AHTS, 1x 6,000bhp AHTS. 14 vessels in total.
• Fleet with strategic partnerships newbuilds (owns 35-49%): 1x 5,150bhp AHTS, 1x 300pax accommodation barge, 3x 3,200dwt PSVs, 4x 8,000bhp AHTS, 4x 10,000bhp AHTS, 2x 6,000bhp AHTS, 2x 75m maintenance work vessels. Fleet count to increase to 21 vessels after newbuilds.
• Yard assets: Facilities in Batamec Shipyard in Indonesia – drydock of 145x40x7m with overhead crane, a Syncrolift covering a total area of 26,000m2, wharf length 650m.
Recent development • Arbitration with GC Rieber over shipbuilding contract under the strategic
partnership agreement. • Seismic expansion with the major acquisition of Singapore-based Reflect
Geophysical. Contracts secured (mainly off New Zealand) at more than USDm 20 since Otto entered into the JV with Reflect in Nov 2009.
• Q1 earnings release. Please see separate report on 17th May for result update.
• Mosvold has cancelled the 1st (out of four) high-end 21,000bhp AHTS with Otto on 19th May.
Expected news-flow • New chartering contracts in the region. Newbuild orders (especially the
larger and more specialized vessels) in the region, such as Indonesia and Australia.
• New seismic contracts in the region. • Arbitration with GC Rieber likely to be concluded. Valuation NAV valuation - SGD /sh 0.39. 2010 P/E of 12x and EV/EBITDA of 12x. We keep our HOLD recommendation on OTML but cut tp from SGD/sh 0.45 to SGD/sh 0.35, based on valuation. We caution investors on the potential cancellation risks in existing orderbook (97% making up of 4 large vessels, not fully-financed yet), which would be negative triggers for the share price. We advise investors to stay away until the orderbook risks subside.

Cancellation of the 1st high-end 21,000bhp AHTS from Mosvold Cancellation of this AHTS is inline with our expectation, as stated in our previous reports. Status of the vessel now is unclear. We believe it will be challenging for Otto to either sell or charter (bareboat) this vessel. We reiterate our view that potential cancellation risks on the remaining large vessels remain. Current order book is undiversified, with 3x large AHTS and 1x OCV making up 97% of total backlog. Mosvold will be entitled to get the refund deposits, estimated at around USDm 23 (30% of the contracted value of USDm 77). Provisions of SGDm 10-15 have already been booked in Q1 in view of likelyhood of cancellation as the vessel has past the agreed cancellation date 30th April.

Valuation impact and options for Otto We currently have a NAV of USDm 75-85 for such size AHTS, hence impact on valuation (vs Otto's building cost) may not be negative if Otto is able to sell the vessel when completed. However, we caution that it will be challenging to sell such large AHTS now, given the over-supply situation. And if Otto chooses to take the vessel under its own chartering fleet, we believe it will also be challenging for Otto to get decent returns (dayrates) as Otto has to do bareboat charter, given that it does not have the expertise to operate such large vessel. We believe Mosvold is unable to market this vessel (for charter/sale) which led to the cancellation decision. Risks of cancellations for the remaining 3x AHTS We reiterate our concerns on the remaining 3x similar size AHTS which may see cancellation risks. Please see previous reports for details on the Mosvold's vessels. Orderbook undiversified Current order backlog is undiversified with 4 large vessels (3x Mosvold AHTS and 1x OCV) making up 97% of the backlog. And these vessels are not fully financed at the moment. Given that the 1st AHTS is cancelled, we do see point of concern for the remaining 3x 21,000bhp Mosvold AHTS. In the event that the remaining 3x Mosvold vessels are canceled, the refund guarantees would amount to USDm 60, based on our estimates. Please see separate report on 7th May for more details on the Mosvold vessels. The offshore construction vessel (OCV) is ordered by the Norwegian client Norshore, which was established in April 2007. Currently, based on our understanding, the company has no operational fleet. And the OCV, currently under construction at Otto's Batamec yard, is a new concept vessel, using a new patented drilling and lifting concept with very low centre of gravity. It serves as a drilling vessel and in our opinion, building this vessel will be very complex, judging by the drilling, well-intervention packages and design. Hence, we do not rule out delays in this vessel and the rest of the 3x Mosvold vessels. In the scenario that all vessels are delayed or cancelled, the impact on Otto's yard image and cashflows (to finance the vessels under its own book) would be negative for the company. We advise investors to stay away until the orderbook risks subside.

Seismic contributions encouraging but too early to be optimistic Current outstanding backlog is around SGDm 20 which we expect Reflect to recognize over the next few quarters. Though contract wins are encouraging, we reiterate our view that the high competition in New Zealand seismic market will put pressure on margins.

Looking at larger and more specialized vessel order Going forward, the company's strategy for the yard is targeting larger and more specialized vessels (such as construction vessel, or shallow water drilling vessel). The values will on average range from USDm 70-120. We are neutral to such a move as we do not expect good margins (risk of delays and project executions) in building such vessels given the complexity and learning curve. We are expecting USDm 135 (initial est USDm 245) for remaining 2010.

Swiber Holdings Well-positioned for the upbeat EPCIC market Swiber Holdings is an offshore oil service company, focusing in providing engineering, procurement, construction, installation and commissioning (EPCIC) and offshore supply services to the oil and gas industry. Swiber offers integrated solutions under three core business units - Offshore Construction Services (EPCIC), Offshore Support Services (OSS) and Offshore Development Services (ODS). Swiber is a niche player in an interesting shallow water market, where we are expecting healthy flow of subsea projects in the regions - shallow Brazil, India, Vietnam and Thailand. We believe the company is well-positioned for contracts in these countries through its joint ventures with established local partners and direct contacts with the major oil companies. For instance, Swiber is partnering Alam Maritime in Malaysia, CUEL in Thailand, and Rawabi in Saudi Arabia. The company has a solid order book of over USDbn 1 (as of 21st May 2010). Competition within this segment is limited with earnings less vulnerable than the offshore supply vessel market. However, margins can be volatile at times as these are project-based jobs. Business divisions • Offshore EPCIC services – core business of providing full suite of
Offshore Construction Services encompassing Engineering, Procurement, Construction, Installation and Commissioning (EPCIC) services.
• Offshore support services – offshore marine fleet and diving supportu unit is utilised mainly to support Swiber's offshore EPCIC activities, presenting enhanced efficiency, timely project delivery and competitive pricing.
• Shipyard – support role for own fleet servicing and upgrading, yard facilities with a comprehensive and growing capability for ship repair, conversion and construction, subsea support services and a widening range of engineering design, fabrication and offshore engineering services.
Recent development • Contracts over USDm 450 secured ytd. • Proposed listing of subsea business (shallow waters) on Catalist by Q4. • Q1 earnings release. Please see separate report on 17th May for result
update. • Secured a USDm 618 EPCIC contract from a leading oil and gas operator
(undisclosed) off India, with its consortium partner on 20th May. We expect Swiber's share to be around 25% of the contract.
Expected news-flow • Possible new EPCIC contracts, currently believed to be bidding up to
USDbn 5 project tenders (USDbn 1 in Vietnam, USDbn 2 in Myanmar & India, USDbn 2 in Middle East), supporting our view that the upcoming EPC project pipeline continues to look promising.
Valuation DCF valuation - SGD/sh 1.52 and NAV valuation - SGD /sh 1.46. 2010 P/E of 12x and EV/EBITDA of 9x. Q1 margins on the upside vs our expectation, ability to execute well on current order backlog (USDbn 1) raises confidence level of future margins on new orders. We see potential new order wins as positive share price catalyst. BUY recommendation reiterated.

Seeking proposed catalist listing of subsea services business The proposed listing is still at early stages. But we are positive on the listing as it allows Swiber to securitize its business and create additional channels of fundings. This subsea business is in the shallow water subsea segment, such as diving support, IMR and newfield developments. The reason for doing the listing is to raise capital funding for expansion and have an independent brand name. The business was acquired in July 2008, with Swiber owning 100% of assets, comprising the offshore subsea vessels and 70% of the operational company (remaining 30% owned by the subsea management). Kreuz Holdings (100% owned by Swiber) agrees to pay USDm 107 for subsea operational company Kreuz Subsea (70% owned by Swiber and 30% owned by three executive officers of the company). And Kruez Subsea Marine (100% owned by Kreuz Holdings) will acquire 2x accomm DSVs - Swiber Glorious and Swiber Supporter and one 12-man ROV (SAT system) from two wholly-owned subsidiaries of Swiber for USDm 76.4. Assets injected inline with our NAV valuation The three vessels (Swiber Glorious, Swiber Supporter and ROV) injected of USDm 76 are inline with our NAV valuation. We have a NAV of USDm 70 for the two DSVs Glorious and Supporter, while we would value the shallow water ROV at USDm 5-7. Swiber to own 75% of the subsea company upon completion After completion of the deal, Swiber will effectively owns 75% of the subsea entity, while 25% owned by management members. Total enterprise value of the subsea entity at USDm 183 The total enterprise value (equity + net debt) of the subsea entity is estimated at USDm 183. No further details for the proposed listing size, we estimate the size to be around USDm 50-60, allowing a free float of 40%. Targeting USDbn 5 worth of tenders Mgmt is currently looking at approx USDbn 5 tenders (USDbn 1 in Vietnam, USDbn 2 in Myanmar & India, USDbn 2 in Middle East), supporting our view that the upcoming EPC project pipeline continues to look promising. We are currently modeling USDm 202 new orders assumptions for remaining 2010.

ASL Marine Low-risk bet on Indonesia coal activity ASL Marine offers vertically integrated marine services, engaging in shipbuilding, shiprepair and shipchartering. Customers are mainly from Asia Pacific and South Asia. For shipbuilding and shiprepair, ASL Marine owns and operates 3 shipyards in Singapore, Indonesia and China with key capabilities in Indonesia. For shipchartering, it plans to grow its existing fleet of 189 vessels (mainly tugs and barges) to 200 vessels by 2010. Outlook of the Indonesia coal transportation market remains upbeat, due to the cabotage ruling where only Indonesian flagged vessels are allowed to operate in this coal rich country. Business divisions • Fleet (shipchartering) – Owns an existing fleet of 189 vessels, consisting
mainly tugs and barges. Plans to increase the fleet size to 201 by FY2010.
• Yards (shipbuilding & shiprepair) – owns and operates three shipyards in Singapore, Indonesia (Batam) and China (Guangdong). ASL Marine focuses and specializes in building smaller niche vessels. It has excellent track record in building tugs, barges, Offshore Support Vessels (OSVs), work dredger vessels and tankers. Order backlog as of Sep 09 is SGDm 457.

Reflagging exercise to impact near term chartering performance ASL is still in process of deflagging and reflagging its tugs and barges to Indonesia flags (though % breakdown not disclosed). The process is likely to take 3-4 months on average. Hence, we continue to expect lower vessel utilization rates in this segment in short-term, given that those vessels under the flagging exercise will be without contracts. New orders assumptions for remaining FY2010 We have new order assumption for remaining FY2010 at SGDm 25 and SGDm 55 including conversion projects. Looking beyond this financial year, we remain upbeat that the Indonesian cabotage laws (implemented for coal transportation in Jan this year) will trigger demand for chartering activities, newbuild tugs and barges and conversion/shiprepair projects.

EOC Limited Bet on the production phase of O&G cycle Oslo-listed EOC is the sister company of Singapore-listed Ezra Holdings (owning 49% stake in EOC). The company is the owner and operator of one FPSO under contract off Thailand, one new FPSO contract (with partners) off Vietnam and 3 heavylift accommodation barges. EOC primarily operates in the Asia Pacific region in four focused business segments: Business divisions • FPSO segment – Operates and manages FPSO projects in Asia. • Offshore construction support segment – provides offshore
construction, accommodation, pipelaying, heavylift, transportation and installation services through its three construction vessels.
Assets • 1x gas FPSO Arunothai off Thailand. • 1x newbuild FPSO (with partners) off Vietnam, commencing operations
in Q22011. • 3x heavylift accommodation barges. Recent development • Vietnam FPSO update: Secured Chim Dao Sao FPSO contract in Oct
09, from Premier Oil back on a 6+6-year charter. The FPSO contract is currently awaiting for the approval from the Vietnamese government. EOC announced in April that it has completed the subscription exercise of its Chim Sao FPSO JV company, owning 43% of the JV. It has appeared that the local Vietnamese partner PVT has decided not to take up 16% stake in the venture. With this, EOC now requires approx USDm 70 to fund the equity portion of this FPSO JV. EOC is looking to re-gear Champion for funding. As mentioned, re-gearing Champion now may not be advantageous to EOC as it is without contract. The expected capex is close to USDm 430, inline with our expectation. Details will likely be finalized in June. Please see separate reports for details on the FPSO arrangements.
• Lewek Champion barge looking for charter now: It is currently looking at two opportunities separately in China and Malaysia, which we should see award announcement by end of calendar Q2.
• FPSO Arunothai downtime in early May: Temporary suspension in production activities of FPSO Lewek Arunothai for approx 45 days off Arthit field, Thailand. Reasons behind the downtime: FPSO Arunothai has suspended production due to maintenance shutdown requirements and the accommodation of a modification process by the operations team on a pipe located in a tank.
• Q2 earnings release. Please see separate report for details. Expected news-flow • Potential new FPSO opportunities: Exploring two new FPSO projects -
one in the Europe and the other in Indonesia. • Potential contract for Lewek Champion. • FPSO update on Arunothai. • FPSO update on Vietnam Chim Sao project. • Potential dual listing in Singapore and Norway. Valuation NAV valuation - NOK/sh 7.24. We reiterate our HOLD rating based on valuations. The potential plan to dual list in Singapore may be viewed as positive to share price, given that Asia offshore players are in general priced at higher multiples than Norwegian peers. But, near-term trigger is negative as we caution that Q3 may be very weak due to the downtime in construction barge Lewek Champion and FPSO Arunothai.

FPSO Arunothai downtime unexpected Temporarily suspension in production activities of FPSO Lewek Arunothai for approx 45 days off Arthit field, Thailand in early May. Reasons behind the downtime: FPSO Arunothai has suspended production due to maintenance shutdown requirements and the accommodation of a modification process by the operations team on a pipe located in a tank. The downtime in FPSO Lewek Arunothai came as a surprise to us as the FPSO has just commenced production last Oct, though after much delays (supposed to commence in Feb 2009). We are concerned that the FPSO downtime for modification works may be due to underlying issue, associated with equipments. This may have further impact on downtime and production. Weak Q3 expected Q3 earnings would be negatively impacted by the downtime associated with the construction vessel Lewek Champion. The vessel is currently looking at two separate opportunities in China and Malaysia, which we expect contract to be awarded only in end May. Coupled with the downtime of FPSO Lewek Arunothai, we expect Q3 to be a very weak quarter. Champion downtime maybe longer than expected As mentioned in our preview, Lewek Champion's charter with NuCoastal has ended in March. Based on our communication with the management, Lewek Champion is currently looking at two opportunities separately in China and Malaysia.
1) On the China opportunity: This will be a turn-key offshore pipelaying contract which may last from 3-6 months. We are expecting a larger contract quantum but lower margins on this contract (if awarded) as it is transportation and installation project-based works which involves project execution risks (such as weather and equipment downtime).
2) On the Malaysia opportunity: This will be a time-charter contract which likely to last 12-18 months. We expect contract quantum to be smaller than the turn-key China contract but margins will be similar to previous time-charters – EBITDA margins of 45-50%.
The management is guiding a base case scenario of contract award in late May/ early June and mobilisation period of less than 5-10 days.

Vietnam FPSO update According to Management, the Vietnam FPSO contract is currently awaiting approval from the Vietnamese government as the JV is a Singapore-based company. EOC announced in April that it has completed the subscription exercise of its Chim Sao FPSO JV company, owning 43% of the JV. It has appeared that the local Vietnamese partner PVT has decided not to take up 16% stake in the venture. With this, EOC now requires approx USDm 70 to fund the equity portion of this FPSO JV. EOC is looking to re-gear Champion for funding. As mentioned in our Q2 result update, re-gearing Champion now may not be advantageous to EOC as it is without contract. Details will likely be finalized in June and the FPSO is expected to commence in Q22011, as such we have not modeled in any contributions from this FPSO. We reiterate our neutral stance on this project due to execution risks and pricing dynamics. New FPSO opportunities – partnership structures EOC is currently exploring two new FPSO projects - one in the Europe and the other in Indonesia. The project timeline is around end 2011-2012. Contract sizes are approx USDm 100-150 and EOC will rope in partners to share the project risks and balance sheet commitments (off balance sheet debt).

Ezion Holdings Strong cards on liftboat market and opportunities off Australia Ezion develops, owns and charters offshore vessels to clients in the offshore oil and gas industry. It specializes in providing marine logistics and support services and has one of the largest fleets of ballastable vessels used in the commissioning and decommissioning of offshore oil and gas platforms. Ezion's fleet includes four multi-purpose self-propelled jack-up liftboats (one already delivered in Jan) to tap the offshore platform industry. Ezion is an investment case on 1) The market for liftboats in Asia/Middle East and 2) Possible further contracts at the Gorgon fields off Australia. We think they are well positioned for both these markets, but competition will be tough and margins under pressure. A key risk (upside and downside) is the market demand for liftboats and asset pricing as Ezion intends to expand current fleet using capital from sale leasebacks on existing liftboats.

ballastable vessels, 6 barges and 6 tugs) and upcoming newbuilds of 8 vessels (tugs and barges) for the Gorgon project.
• 3x self-propelled jack-up liftboats, consisting of 1x liftboat Lewek Leader currently on charter to Ezra and 2x newbuilds at Ezra’s Vietnam yard under the supervision of Levingston due delivery in 2H 2010. Additional 1x newbuild liftboat targeting at offshore wind farm market, likely to be built at Ezra's yard.
• Marine services – 5-year charter contract for the provision of one refurbished PSV to South American NOC PDVSA.
Assets • Fleet of offshore oil and gas support vessels – 9 ballastable, 6 tugs, 6
barges, 8 tugs and barges for Gorgon project. • 3x self-propelled jack-up liftboats, consisting of 1x liftboat Lewek Leader
currently on charter to Ezra and 2x newbuilds at Ezra’s Vietnam yard under the supervision of Levingston due delivery in 2H 2010. Additional 1x newbuild liftboat targeting at offshore wind farm market, likely to be built at Ezra's yard. Ezion is thus a pure asset provider and sub contractor for liftboats.
• 1x 2,000dwt PSV. Recent development • 1st liftboat divestment of 51% equity stakes to a private equity fund. • 2nd liftboat was sold to a Middle Eastern company (same company which
signed a LOI for the remaining two liftboats, but has since been lapsed). • Signed an agreement to build another liftboat, with additional wind farm
capabilities. • Q1 earnings release. Please see separate report on 14th May for result
update. Expected news-flow • Gorgon phase 2 tenders expected soon in end Q2, with Ezion targeting
the offshore support services contracts and supply base logistics contract. We estimate contract sizes in batches of USDm 100-200, with an aggregate total of USDbn 2-3. The tenders will be broken into pieces with varying tendering schedule, due to different project scope and requirements.
• Ezra may charter the 3rd and 4th newbuild liftboats when ready. • Further newbuild liftboat plan, fundings likely come from sales lease-
back deals. Valuation NAV SGD/sh 0.76. DCF valuation SGD/sh 0.78. 2011 EV/EBITDA 5.6x. BUY reiterated, tp SGD/sh 0.80.

Potential tenders Ezion are eyeing in Australia As mentioned, we see potential upcoming tenders which Ezion are targeting: 1) OSV services of larger vessels (tugs and barges), targeting at marine logistics services contracts. 2) Third marine & supply base in Northern Australia, which will position Ezion as the leading player in that region, controlling the key logistics of the workflow. We rate Ezion one of the better positioned players for the offshore support services contracts but to secure the marine & supply base, it may seems challenging. For the tenders, Ezion is likely to tender the contracts with partners, similar to the Pacific Basin and Skill Group structure. We expect Ezion to target at potential contract size (in parts) larger than the phase one (AUDm 350) it secured with its JV partners. We estimate contract sizes in batches of USDm 100-200, with an aggregate total of USDbn 2-3. The tenders will be broken into pieces with varying tendering schedule, due to different project scope and requirements. We rate Ezion one of the better positioned players for the offshore support services contracts but to secure the marine & supply base, it may seems challenging.

Contract visibility for the 3rd and 4th liftboat We believe Ezra is looking to charter in the 3rd and 4th liftboat, scheduled for delivery in calendar Q3 and Q4 2010 respectively. This is because the LOI signed with the Middle Eastern company has been lapsed and Ezra needs to have at least one more liftboat to reach critical mass for its liftboat support services. Additional liftboat targeting at offshore wind farm market Ezion also said it will be entering into an agreement with The Levingston Corporation to construct an additional unit of Liftboat. The new Liftboat will incorporate capabilities for it to service the offshore wind farm in the Southern North Sea. This liftboat is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2011. We expect the newbuild cost to be around USDm 60-65 with additional wind farm capabilities. The newbuild contract is likely to be awarded to Ezra's Vietnam yard. Remaining two liftboats may see similar arrangements We believe it is likely that Ezion will also be looking to do a similar sales leaseback or outright sale arrangement for its two newbuild liftboats, due delivery in 2H2010.

Coupled with its wide range of expertise, it provides its clients with efficient and effective services, catered to their every need. Business divisions • Offshore Support Services - manages a mix fleet of AHTS, AHT and
crewboats. Average term charter of 2.5 years. • Marine Services (yard) - provides services such as marine supplies,
fabrication, engineering and design work to the same set of clients serviced by Ezra’s OSV division.
• Energy Services (Subsea) - provides an integrated services for the deepwater subsea market, including installations of subsea equipment, umbilicals, risers and flowlines; subsea inspection, maintenance and repair; well intervention, well simulation, hydraulic workover, and coil tubing services. Services will be done from 1x jack-up liftboat Lewek Leader and potentially 2x remaining newbuild liftboats (chartered from Ezion), 2x MFSV, 1x DP3 construction vessel Louis Crusader.
• FPSO and barges – Ezra holds 49% of EOC, listed in Oslo Norway. We use mark to market for valuation of EOC. Ezra stake is currently worth SGD/sh 0.39. Please see separate report for analysis of EOC.
under fleet management structure, 2x 30,000bhp MFSV (schedule delivery Q3-4 2010), 1x oil tanker, 3x crewboats, 1x DP3 CSV (schedule delivery 1H), 2x charter in jack-up liftboats (first liftboat Lewek Leader delivered in Jan 10, second schedule 1H), and 1x ice-maiden vessel.
• 1x fabrication yard in Vietnam. Recent development • Q2 earnings release. Please see separate report on the results update. • Associate EOC announced vessel downtime on FPSO Arunothai and
Lewek Champion. • New investment of 20% in Malaysia-listed Perisai for USDm 19, to gain
stronger foothold in much protected Malaysia market. Perisai holds a huge pipelay construction vessel Enterprise 3 which is currently on term charter with Petronas until 2013. It is the one of the limited pipelay construction vessels flagged in Malaysia.
Expected news-flow • Potential contracts on the upcoming newbuilds, but any financial impact
will only come after FY2010 given that the subsea newbuilds (MFSVs and CSV) are only mostly operational in FY2011 (Aug year-end).
• Q3 earnings release. Valuation DCF valuation - SGD/sh 1.22; NAV valuation - SGD/sh 1.22. 2010 EV/EBITDA of 15x and PE of 16x. Tp of SGD/sh 1.20 is supported by our valuation framework, SELL recommendation remains. Weak Q3 expected due to associate EOC's vessels downtime (CSV Lewek Champion and FPSO Lewek Arunothai). Subsea performance likely to be weak due to delays in key newbuild subsea assets.

Bet on deepwater subsea growth Ezra is essentially an offshore supply player trading at a high premium due to high expectations for their expansion to subsea/well intervention. Huge downside if this does not materialize as it is priced at 1.6x NAV. We prefer to price Ezra as OSV player instead of subsea engineering company as the latter is yet to be proven. The graph below shows historical and estimated USD/bhp per day for Ezra. We expect declining rates, but a much softer landing than what we have seen internationally (partly due to longer contracts at good rates and newer vessels), but we see more downside than upside risk to our estimates. Last quarter was at only USD/bhp 1.5 vs 2.4 in Q1 and est 2.3 in Q3 and 2.1 in Q4. Figure 102: Average USD/bhp per day for Ezra

Negative triggers ahead Weak Q3 expected due to associate EOC's vessels downtime (CSV Lewek Champion and FPSO Lewek Arunothai). Subsea performance likely to be weak due to delays in key newbuild subsea assets. Delays in delivery schedule of upcoming newbuilds The revised delivery schedule, provided by the management, is longer than what we expect and earlier guidance from the management. On average, the newbuilds (2x MFSVs and 1x CSV) would be delayed by one quarter. We believed this is due to the delays in purchasing the right subsea equipments for the MFSVs and the pipelaying system for the CSV. Figure 103: Revised delivery schedule
In the deepwater subsea segment We reiterate our view that it will take time for the company to build up the business and earn good profits. It will either be 1) challenging to get decent utilization if they work directly for oil companies or 2) difficult to get decent return on the investments if they charter the assets out to other subsea operators as the asset (vessel) growth is very high within the subsea space (approx 50%+). Ezra may end up being an asset provider. New investments of 20% in Malaysia-listed Perisai for USDm 19 Ezra also announced that it has made a strategic stake of 20% in offshore player Perisai Petroleum for MYRm 64 (MYR/sh 0.49), at approx 10% discount to last traded price of MYR/sh 0.54. The company is currently listed on Malaysia's stock exchange, with a market cap of MYRm 358 (USDm 108). Key reason why Ezra bought into the company as it hopes to gain stronger foothold in much protected Malaysia market. Perisai holds a huge pipelay construction vessel Enterprise 3 which is currently on term charter with Petronas until 2013. It is the one of the limited pipelay construction vessels flagged in Malaysia. Contributions from Perisai are expected to be minimal, based on consensus net income estimates of MYRm 39 (USDm 12 - Ezra's share USDm 2) in 2010 and MYRm 52 (USDm 16 - Ezra's share USDm 3) in 2011.

Deep Sea Supply Company Description Deep Sea Supply Plc is an offshore supply company. The Company is a shipowner and operator of several Anchor Handling Tug Supply vessels (“AHTS vessels”) and Platform Supply Vessels (“PSV”). DESSC has an opportunistic approach compared to its peers both for dividends and asset trades. Assets
• 8x large PSVs, mostly on longterm charters with average contract length of 18 months
• 13x AHTS with 9 on the international term market and 4 operating in the North Sea.
• 6x 6,800bhp AHTS newbuilds due for delivery in Feb-Aug 2010 (any cancellations of these vessels will be positive).
Recent development
• For its AHTS shipbuilding program with India’s ABG shipyard, financing commitments have been put in place to effect the 6 AHTS’ delivery due in 2010.
• Secured four chartering contracts in April, inline with our expectations. Day-rates are not disclosed, but market sources indicate that the level is inline with our estimates. We estimate USD/day 25k for Jaguar and USD/day 20 for the rest
• Q1 earnings release, please see separate note on 6th May for result update.
Expected news-flow
• DESSC is beginning to delve into Brazil as it established its Brazilian presence and also placed an order for a large PSV at STX Brazil, with delivery due in 2012. Financing will be provided by a local financing scheme.
• DESSC expects to have a fleet of 6-8 vessels in Brazil from H2 2010 to take advantage of regulations allowing imported vessels to operate locally when a newbuild order has been committed in Brazil. The 6,800 bhp newbuild are strong candidates for contracts off Brazil.
• DESSC have vessels number 1,2,4 and 5 in a tender from Petrobras (for 3,000+ PSVs). Rate level here is also around USD/day 20k
• DESSC expects to restore dividends distributions when the markets show clear recovery as it has decided against paying dividends since Q3 2008
Valuation DESSC is trading at EV/EBITDA 11x and 8x for 2010 and 2011 respectively. We have a BUY recommendation on DESSC with target NOK/sh 13.5 based on NAV NOK/sh 13.5.

• 11x Supply vessels. • 4x Subsea vessels. • 6x Seismic vessels. • 2x Seismic newbuilds to be delivered in 2010.
Recent development
• In Dec 09, Eidesvik entered into a JV with Exploration Investment Resouces (unit of CGGVeritas) for the chartering of two seismic vessels BN 285 and BN 286, which are under construction at Ulstein Verft will remain in Eidesvik Seismic Vessels AS, including building contract, time charter and all financial agreements. Eidesvik will still act as maritime manager for the vessels.
• In Oct 09, CGGVeritas has declared their option and extended the contract with 2 years for the seismic vessel Veritas Vantage, starting from April 2010.
• Dividend of NOK 0.5 paid on 21st May. • Q1 earnings release.
Expected news-flow
• Renewal of chartering contracts, with 3x AHTS up for option renewal this year.
Valuation Eidesvik is trading at EV/EBITDA 5x and 4x for 2010 and 2011 respectively. Corresponding P/E multiples are 10x and 5x. We have a BUY recommendation on Eidesvik with target NOK/sh 40.

Farstad Shipping Company Description Farstad Shipping is a world-leading supplier of large, modern offshore support vessels to the international offshore oil & gas industry. They own and operate their vessels with focus on the high-end segment of the market. Farstad Shipping has been listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange since 1988, foreign shareholders control around 15% of Farstad Shipping. The company is best positioned among peers on international operations and diversification, and has earlier surprised with contract extensions above our assumptions (and also above market rates as the vessels have operated in areas with high barriers to enter, such as Australia). However, we believe in such positive surprises will be lesser going forward as world-wide utilization in the industry will drop. Assets
• 57 vessels: 32 AHTS, 23 PSVs, 2 subsea vessels. • 19 vessels in North Sea, 12 in Brazil, 26 in India Pacific. • Focus on traditional AHTS and PSV operations (not construction
work, ROV etc). • Offices world wide and one of few international players with a
strong footprint in Australia. Recent development
• Reduced activity and introduction of newbuilds have resulted in an oversupply situation. In particular, utilisation in the North Sea has not seen major improvement and dismal performance can also be observed in charter rates. Despite the weak market balance, Petrobras has been a major charterer of Farstad vessels, usually with charters ranging 1-3years.
• Strong chartering contracts in April, worth USDm 102 including options.
• Q1 earnings. Outlook: The activity level offshore is increasing again. However, the rate level and the utilisation rate for supply vessels will continue to be negatively affected by the large number of newbuilds already in the market or which are still to be delivered.
Expected news-flow
• Farstad expects oversupply situation to persist till late 2010 with weak charter rates and utilisation.

We see significant upside to our estimates for Siem WIS, although we already have doubled our value of SIEM WIS from USDm 80 to USDm 160 (NOK/sh 1.6 to 3.3).
Siem Offshore Company Description Siem Offshore owns and operates a fleet of offshore supply vessels, including AHTS, PSV and Subsea vessels. The company operates out of their offices in Norway, Brazil and Cayman islands. The company has experienced very rapid growth over the last 3 years. Assets
• Fleet of 44 vessels in total (of which 14 are newbuilds), including:
• 14 PSVs (including 1 newbuild) • 8 AHTS (including 5 newbuilds) • 5 MSRVs • 17 other support vessels (including 6 newbuilds for Brazil fleet) • 60% ownership in SIEM WIS
Recent development
• Q1 earnings release, please see separate note on 11th May. • SIEM WIS update, successful first commercial contract for
Pressure Control Device (PCD), Management Pressure Drilling (MPD), with Statoil (at Gullfaks). Pls see next page for more information
• They are still waiting for Petrobras’ to decide how many ultra large AHTS they will commit to. Siem is positioned as #1, #2, #3, #6 and #7 in the tender for 21,000+ bhp in terms of the lowest bids, but this is not new. At the last such ATHS tender in 2008, Petrobras chose to not accept any of the bids. But that was at a time when lowest bidder was above USD/day 100k vs currently 48k
Expected news-flow
• Contracts for Siem WIS and their AHTS fleet are key triggers. • With its continuing newbuild deliveries, Siem Offshore expects to
have the 2nd-largest AHTS fleet worldwide. • Petrobras contracts.

SIEM WIS: A potential company maker SIEM WIS, 60% owned by Siem Offshore, has developed a solution for management pressure drilling (MPD). In short, the technology creates a closed dynamic loop for drilling fluids which allow oil companies to produce more from depleted reservoirs and reservoirs with high pressure and temperatures. The technology can be use on all drilling rigs, but is slightly different for floaters vs fixed installations/Jack ups/ land rigs. PCD: For Fixed installations, Jack-ups and land rigs (commercialized) RPCD: For floaters. (expected commercialized 2012) A third product they offer is Circsub, which improves drilling effectiveness. The commercial breakthrough was when SIEM WIS got a contract with Statoil (who also has carried part of development costs and participated in the full scale test in 2008) March 23rd this year for the PCD. The day-rate is rumoured to be around NOK 100k/day (USD/day 15' @ USDNOK 6.5). The platform they are using it on is Gullfaks and operations have been even better than expected according to mgmt. Playing with numbers… It is difficult to predict the potential for SIEM WIS as there is little or no guidance from management (except that they are very pleased with all results and development so far) and last cycle proved that it was difficult to get oil companies to absorb new technologies. However, there is no doubt that the potential is significant and that the positive results from Gullfaks has increased the probability for a commercial success significantly. Below are some assumptions for calculation of values:
The numbers give economics (EBITDA) to Siem WIS of USDm 10.75 per unit (discounted), or EBITDA of USD/unit 2.7 per year. If assuming that they get contracts for 10 units within end 2012, it should justify an EBITDA of USDm 27, we believe the market will be willing to pay at least a multiple of 15x, which gives an EV of USDm 607 or USDm 364 for SIOFF's 60% ownership (44% probability for this in our NAV estimate) But a base case scenario is unlikely unfold: We expect it to be worth either NOK/sh 10-20 per SIEM share, which corresponds to USDm 1000-2000 for the whole company, or nothing at all. This includes the whole concept including PCF and RPCD and argue that. With Siem Offshore trading below NAV for their fleet (at same discount as DESSC), risk reward is attractive. NOK/sh 10-20 implies that they have installed the equipment (PCD of RPCD) on 35-70 units with an EV/EBITDA multiple of 10x. We value SIEM WIS to NOK/sh 3.3, or 15-30% probability for this scenario. The potential number of units they could install the equipment on exceeds 1000. Operations at Gullfaks are now halted because Statoil (the operator) has lost control of the gas pressure. According to Siem mgmt this is not linked to the Siem WIS equipment at all (occurred when they have operated without the equipment for some period).
Solstad Offshore Company Description Solstad Offshore is one of the world largest owner and operator of offshore supply vessels including AHTS, PSV and Subsea vessels. They have higher exposure to the spot and Subsea markets compared to key peer Farstad Shipping. The company started their offshore operations in 1973 and was listed on OSE in 1997. They are headquartered in Skudeneshavn with branch offices in Aberdeen, Rio de Janeiro and Singapore through NOR Offshore. Contract coverage for 2010/2011 at 66%/44% excl options and 72%/57% incl options. Assets
• 13x construction vessels + 3 newbuilds. • 15x AHTS vessels. • 8x PSV vessels • 10 vessels + 1 newbuild through NOR Offshore in Singapore. • In total, 4 vessels are under construction
Recent development
• Solstad has successfully completed a NOKm 700 unsecured bond issue in Q4 2009, with funds to be used for refinancing existing debt and general corporate purposes. Financing for NB's with delivery in 2010 in place.
• Delivery of two large AHTS in April and May. • 6x PSVs commenced on term charters in Q2 2010. • 3x CSVs newbuilds for delivery next 12 months. • Outlook for PSV positive, seeing increased demand. Outlook for
AHTS relatively soft, still a large orderbook of AHTS for delivery in 2010/2011. Expects volatility in spot rates. Outlook for CSV: increased tendering activity with demand to improve further.
• Targeting listing of 50% owned NOR Offshore in Singapore: This has been rumored for some time and should not be a surprise, but we believe pricing is likely to be above what SOFF gets in Norway and we think it will be positive for SOFF. The NOR Offshore vessels may contribute with approx NOK 20 per SOFF share (17% of earnings whereas we estimate NOR Offshore to contribute with only 10%-12% of 2010/2011 EBITDA). Based on our estimates, the NOR Offshore's vessels are trading at 2010/2011 EV/EBITDA 8.9x/8.2x.
Expected news-flow
• It expects new subsea contract awards and more new rigs entering the market, to give a possible uplift to the spot market in late 2010, or early 2011.
• Solstad expects its current high spot exposure to be reduced from Q2 2010, when it foresees more long term contracts emerging.
Valuation Solstad is trading at EV/EBITDA 7.9x and 7.0x for 2010 and 2011 respectively. We have a HOLD recommendation on Solstad with target NOK/sh 117.5, based on NAV.

Appendix I – Global & Asia OSV Fleet In Asia, due to the demographics of shallower waters, the region is dominated by smaller vessels. There are approx 45% of the OSVs below 7,000bhp and 2,000dwt operating in the region. The larger vessels of 15,000bhp and 3,000dwt above are mainly found in deeper water regions such as the North Sea, West Africa, Brazil and parts of South East Asia and North Asia.

Source: DnB NOR Markets, ODS-Petro-data as of May 2010
In 2009 alone, 199 vessels (80 in Asia) were delivered, which were highest since 1965. With the upcoming newbuilds ordered during the top cycle, the issue of excess vessels remains clear. There will be over 357 (Asia at 273 vessels) new vessels coming into the market from 2010-2012. This represent a fleet growth of over 24% (53% for Asia) when the vessels are delivered. These figures are taken from ODS from the May 2010 vessel count and have not taken into account the potential new orders in future. As it is, a total of 279 (Asia at 205) newbuilds is scheduled to be delivered this year, making up the most of the existing newbuilds under order. Most of the fleet growth comes from the larger vessels (>18,000+bhp), which coincides with the structural change to deeper waters oil and gas exploration and production.

Figure 107: AHTS global fleet + newbuilds size breakdown
Source: DnB NOR Markets, ODS-Petro-data as of May 2010
Globally, we estimate that over 56 vessels which are more than 25 years old will be retired from the fleet. And with some shipowners still facing financing issues with their newbuilds (in particular those vessels which are built on speculations, without any firm contract), we are likely to see further delays and cancellations. However, we expect fewer cancellations/ delays as compared to a year ago. Given the run up in global share prices since March 2009 and the high stable oil prices, shipowners are more confident to take delivery of vessels. As a result, we are likely to see lesser cancellations and delays in the newbuild market, further compounding the over-supply situation. By then, the rates will continue to face pressure as the upcoming newbuild vessels and vessels going off charters are competing for contracts at the same time. We also argue that the large increase in fleet size will chartering and high utilization rates, before we see vessel owners ordering more vessels. This is negative for shipyards specializing in offshore supply vessels. We estimate that 345 newbuilds out of current 357 newbuilds (assuming no new order), will make it into the market. This only represents a decline of 3% in total existing newbuilds. The overall decline in newbuilds is relatively low as we believe 205 out of the 345 vessels are estimated to be at least 30-40% completed and are likely to be completed by this year, making the costs of cancellations at rather high levels. Many shipowners are indicating that they are likely to take delivery of their newbuilds (though delays may result) if their vessels are more than 30-40% completed. In total, we estimate that there will be close to 1805 vessels in the market by 2012, including retirements and scrapping, a growth of 24% from 2009 fleet size.

Source: DnB NOR Markets, ODS-Petro-data as of May 2010
According to ODS-Petrodata's May 2010 data, there are 88 new vessels scheduled to be delivered from 2010-2012 from existing order backlog, with a majority of 60 vessels due this year. Our overall estimates for eventual newbuilds from 2010-2012 remain the same as reported by ODS, though we expect some delays (as highlighted in the red bars in the figure above). In our opinion, the larger AHTS market will likely see less cancellations/ delays due to structural change towards deepwater water exploration and production trend. However, we are still concerned on the over-supply situation, given the high fleet growth of 49% from 2009-2012. Demand for deepwater activities has to match the growth in vessels in order to support the growth. With oil companies recognizing that there will be a large number of vessels coming into the market for them to choose from, they will be looking to cut costs/ pricings further. Thus, rates are likely to pan out flat or showing little growth during this period and are unlikely to return to previous highs achieved in 2008.

On the newbuild front, there are currently 60 new vessels in the backlog through to 2012, which 50 of them are looking to be delivered this year. We do not expect cancellations on these newbuilds, though we do foresee some delays. The reason being that the supply situation for the smaller vessels is not as bad as the larger vessels and the overall OSV market as highlighted earlier on. There are close to 252 vessels over the age of 25 years, which most were being built in the 1980s. As these vessels are near their scrap age, new vessels are needed to replace them. Thus, with the addition of 60 vessels over the next three years and outgoing aging vessels of potentially 65, we will see a more balanced picture of vessels count working in this sub-segment.

Source: DnB NOR Markets, ODS-Petrodata as of May 2010
In terms of upcoming newbuilds, there will be over 223 (Asia at 100 vessels) new vessels coming into the market from 2010-2012. This represent a fleet growth of over 22% when the vessels are delivered. These figures are taken from ODS from the May 2010 vessel count and have not taken into account the potential new orders in future. As it is, a total of 152 (Asia at 73) newbuilds is scheduled to be delivered this year, making up the most of the existing newbuilds at 68% (Asia at 73%).

Most of the fleet growth comes from the larger vessels (>4,000+dwt), which coincides with the structural change to deeper waters oil and gas activities. Figure 112: PSV global fleet + newbuilds size breakdown
Source: DnB NOR Markets, ODS-Petro-data as of May 2010
Globally, we estimate that over 41 vessels which are more than 25 years old will be retired from the fleet. And with some shipowners still facing financing issues with their newbuilds (in particular those vessels which are built on speculations, without any firm contract), we are likely to see further delays and cancellations. However, the situation will not be as serious as one year ago. We estimate that 218 newbuilds out of current 223 newbuilds (assuming no new order), will make it into the market. The overall decline in newbuilds is expected to be relatively low as we believe 110 out of the 223 vessels are estimated to be at least 30-40% completed and are likely to be completed by this year, making the costs of cancellations at rather high levels. Many shipowners are indicating that they are likely to take delivery of their newbuilds if their vessels are more than 30-40% completed. In total, we estimate that there will be close to 1246 vessels in the market by 2012 and early 2013, a growth of 21% from 2009 fleet size as compared to original growth of 22%.

Source: DnB NOR Markets, ODS-Petrodata as of May 2010
A total of 208 new vessels will be delivered from 2010-2012, with a majority of 139 vessels due this year. We do not expect many cancellations to occur due to reasons stated earlier. Likewise, we are concerned on the over-supply situation, given the high fleet growth of 33% from 2009-2012. Demand for deepwater activities has to match the growth in vessels in order to support the growth. With oil companies recognizing that there will be a large number of vessels coming into the market for them to choose from, they will be looking to cut costs/ pricings further. Thus, rates are likely to pan out to be flat or showing little growth during this period and are unlikely to return to previous highs achieved in 2008. We expect the newbuild market for the larger PSV vessels to remain overcrowded unless there are signs of improvement in the demand side. Therefore, before the oversupply situation improves, either through lesser newbuilds coming into the market or higher growth in demand (which is uncertain), we remain bearish on the newbuild segment of the larger PSV vessels.

There are currently 112 AHTS/AHT operating off Brazilian waters, as compared to the global fleet count currently stands at 1516, of which 600 vessels were built in the last five years. In 2009 alone, 231 vessels (2 newbuilds operating in Brazil and 73 newbuilds operating in Asia) were delivered, which is highest since 1965. There will be over 357 (Asia building 273 vessels and Brazil with 4 vessels) new vessels coming into the market from 2010-2012. This represent a fleet growth of over 24% when the vessels are delivered. These figures are taken from ODS from the April 2010 vessel count and have not taken into account the potential new orders into the future. As it is, a total of 279 newbuilds is scheduled to be delivered this year, making up the most of the existing newbuilds at 78%. Figure 117: Brazil AHTS/AHT size breakdown + newbuilds

Globally, we estimate that over 70 vessels which are more than 25 years old will be retired from the fleet. And with some shipowners still facing financing issues with their newbuilds (in particular those vessels which are built on speculations, without any firm contract), we are likely to see further delays and cancellations. However, the situation will not be as serious as a year ago. We estimate that 334 newbuilds out of current 357 newbuilds (assuming no new order), will make it into the market. This only represents a decline of 6% in total existing newbuilds. The overall decline in newbuilds is relatively low as we believe 244 out of the 334 vessels are estimated to be at least 30-40% completed and are likely to be completed by this year, making the costs of cancellations at rather high levels. Many shipowners are indicating that they are likely to take delivery of their newbuilds if their vessels are more than 30-40% completed. Most of the fleet growth comes from the larger vessels (>18,000+bhp), which coincides with the structural change to deeper waters oil and gas exploration and production such as in offshore Brazil's Campos and Santos basins.

In 2009, a total of 29 such vessels were delivered, 19% growth from 2008 fleet. According to ODS-Petrodata's April 2010 data, there are 88 new vessels scheduled to be delivered from 2010-2012, with a majority of 60 vessels due this year. Our overall estimate for eventual newbuilds from 2010-2012 remains the same as reported by ODS. In our opinion, the larger AHTS market will likely see less cancellations/ delays due to structural change towards deepwater water exploration and production trend.

Over the past 5 years, we saw a CAGR of 9% in global PSV fleet, of which 366 vessels were built in the last five years (94 in 2009 and 95 in 2008). In terms of upcoming newbuilds, there will be over 223 (Asia at 100 vessels) new vessels coming into the market from 2010-2012. This represent a fleet growth of over 22% when the vessels are delivered. These figures are taken from ODS from the April 2010 vessel count and have not taken into account the potential new orders in future. As it is, a total of 152 (Asia at 73) newbuilds is scheduled to be delivered this year, making up the most of the existing newbuilds at 68% (Asia at 73%).

Figure 125: PSV global fleet + newbuilds size breakdown
Most of the fleet growth comes from the larger vessels (>4,000+dwt), which coincides with the structural change to deeper waters oil and gas activities. Globally, we estimate that over 41 vessels which are more than 25 years old will be retired from the fleet. And with some shipowners still facing financing issues with their newbuilds (in particular those vessels which are built on speculations, without any firm contract), we are likely to see further delays and cancellations. However, the situation will not be as serious as one year ago. We estimate that 213 newbuilds out of current 223 newbuilds (assuming no new order), will make it into the market. This only represents a decline of less than 5% in total existing newbuilds. The overall decline in newbuilds is relatively low as we believe 132 out of the 213 vessels are estimated to be at least 30-40% completed and are likely to be completed by this year, making the costs of cancellations at rather high levels. Many shipowners

are indicating that they are likely to take delivery of their newbuilds if their vessels are more than 30-40% completed. Brazil and Global PSV >1,999dwt There are currently 628 vessels above 1,999dwt in the global market, of which 89 to 95 vessels are being deployed in Brazil. A total of 208 new vessels will be delivered from 2010-2012, with a majority of 139 vessels due this year. Likewise in our opinion, the market for larger PSVs is likely to see less cancellations/ delays due to structural change towards deeper waters exploration and production trend.

We are concerned on the over-supply situation, given the high fleet growth of 26% from 2009-2012. Demand for deepwater activities has to match the growth in vessels in order to support the growth. With oil companies recognizing that there will be a large number of vessels coming into the market for them to choose from, they will be looking to cut costs/ pricings further. Thus, rates are likely to pan out to be flat or showing little growth during this period and are unlikely to return to previous highs achieved in 2008. Brazilian is a different animal as additional demand will require a proportion of the newbuilds being built locally to meet local content requirements. OSV Demand from Brazil Demand for OSV (AHTS and PSV) in Brazil will be driven by the number offshore drilling and production units (rigs, FPSOs, and platforms) in the Brazilian market. With the upcoming massive newbuild rig plan announced by Petrobras, we expect to see this healthy demand for OSVs operating in Brazil. The high barriers to entry (certain proportion of vessels has to be built in Brazil) imply that rates are likely to stay resilient in Brazil.

Estimates based on announced 28 drilling rigs (contract awarding 2010) + our estimates on further newbuilds
Source: DnB NOR Markets estimates, ODS-Petrodata
In 2010, rig orders will likely be supported by Petrobras' 28 new orders, but this initiative has already been delayed for more than a year. We argue that Petrobras has the bargaining power to push down the tender prices, given that most yards in the world are facing urgent need to replenish their existing orderbook. We reiterate that in order for rig operators to order new rigs, the economics behind the order (capex) must make sense. According to our rig analyst, the utilization levels and dayrates will likely to remain soft, pressured by the upcoming newbuild supply and rigs available after their existing charters end. We have modeled the number of new orders going forward as in the table below. We expect a bulk of the orders to come from Petrobras (please see later in the report), and have up our previous assumptions on expectation that rig owners and oil companies (NOCs such as Pemex) may order new rigs on improved market sentiments. Key upside risk to estimates is national oil companies which could order bulks of newbuilds for strategic reasons. Downside risk to estimates is that the same scenario plays out as after the last newbuild cycle for jackups: Hardly any new orders in 20-25 years…

Quantifying the OSV demand from Brazil We are likely to see more newbuilds being built in Brazilian yards to meet the local content requirement. According to sources and Petrobras's 5-year spending plan, the NOC is in the midst of contracting 146 OSVs through year 2017 to meet its demand for its huge offshore finds in the Santos basin. This is inline with our estimates of 168 vessels required based on a support ratio of 3x, based on the global historical ratio. Figure 130: DnB NOR estimates on OSV required in Brazil
Year Semi Jack-Up Drillship Total rigsRatio of rig to OSV
The tenders are divided into seven rounds and we have seen the first round being completed in 2009. The pace of supply of newbuild vessels from the local yards are simply not fast enough to match the demand. With only 13 OSVs had been delivered in 2009 through the local yards, Brazil continues to attract international vessels (North Sea, GoM and Asia) to its market. Recently, we have seen several term charters in Brazil with Petrobras fixing 2x 3,000dwt PSVs, 6x 4,500dwt PSVs, and 5x oil spill recovery vessels made in Brazil, flying the Brazilian flag. And according to ODS-Petrodata, Brazilian operators have been aggressively securing OSVs, granting a number of long term fixtures and contract extensions. Petrobras is targeting 146 OSVs through to 2017 and has already done 13 fixtures last year. On the basis of known demand, Petrobras still needs 133 OSVs in the market by 2017, approx 17 per year. However, with the upcoming global supply in OSVs of 393 (298 AHTS + 95 PSV), of which 50 (31 AHTS + 19 PSV) vessels are from local Brazilian yards, from 2010-2012, we adopt the view that the Brazilian market alone will not be able to absorb the surplus vessels out in the market. This excludes future newbuild orders from 2013-2017 and not counting those vessels which will be going off charter this year.
