Deep Sea Supply Plc (DESSC or Company) is an

offshore supply company with a modern fleet

operating world-wide. The fleet can be divided intotwo segments; Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessels

(AHTS) and Platform Supply Vessels (PSVs).

Summary: Improved EBITDA due to increased revenuesand gain on sales. Good cost control. Soft market.

In Q410 DESSCs revenues increased to USD 37.3 mill. (USD 30.3 mill. in

Q409) due to an increased fleet, higher utilization ratio and improved rates. A

sale of Sea Otter and Sea Marten resulted in a USD 10 mill. gain. Vessels

operating expenses (when adjusted for an increased fleet) have reduced

by 3% and EBITDA hence improved to USD 26 mill. (USD 12.6 mill.). Net

income before taxes was USD 8.7 mill. (-USD 3.3 mill).

Full year 2010 revenues were USD 132.3 mill compared to USD 167.6 mill in

2009, or a reduction of 21%. EBITDA was USD 62.8 mill compared to USD

111.5 mill in 2009 or a reduction of 44%. The pre-tax result was USD 0.1 mill

compared to USD 43.2 mill in 2009.

The market for offshore supply vessels remained soft for Q410. The

relocation of vessels to Brazil continued in Q410 and DESSC has currently 5

PSVs on long term charter to Petrobras and 3 AHTS on short/medium term

contracts to other charterers in Brazil.

An important part of DESSCs strategy is to gain market access to new

local markets for its vessels. In Q111, DESSC reflagged Sea Weasel to

Malaysian flag and the vessel was sold to a Malaysian joint venture where

DESSC participates as owner and operator. The Company looks positively at

developing new market opportunities in Malaysia.

In Q111, DESSC sold the 11 year old AHTS vessels Sea Cougar and Sea

Wolf at attractive prices. The strategic reason behind this sale was renewal

of the Companys fleet.

As the Company has previously announced, the Norwegian tax authorities,

after reviewing the Companys tax return for 2006, claim that the sales price

of shipbuilding contracts sold to Cyprus subsidiaries should have been higher.

The Board of DESSC strongly disagrees with the tax authorities assessmentof this case. No allocation has been done in the accounts for 2010.

Following the revised tax legislation applicable for Norwegian Shipping

Companies made after the High Court decision in February 2010, DESSC

has booked a tax liability of NOK 15.8 mill. (USD 2.8 mill.) fully recognized in

2010. The tax is payable over 3 years.

The Board suggests no dividend distributions in 4Q10. It is the Companys

intention to revert to its former dividend strategy as and when the market

improves.

Earnings, rate levels and market conditions

AHTS vesselsIn the end of 4Q10 DESSC had 13 AHTS vessels in operation of which 4

operated in the North Sea spot market. In addition DESSC had 5 AHTS

vessels under construction.

Freight revenues

Total revenues from the AHTS vessels in 2010 decreased by 13% compared

to 2009. The reduction was mainly due to lower rates and lower commercial

utilization. This impact was partly offset by new vessels in operation and

lower technical offhire.

PSVs

In the end of 4Q10 DESSC had 8 PSVs operating in the international term

markets. In addition, the Company has 1 PSV under construction in Brazil.

Freight revenues

Total revenues from the PSVs in 2010 decreased by 35% compared to 2009.

This was due to lower commercial utilization and lower rates.

Vessel operationVessels operating expenses in 2010 were USD 73.7 mill compared to USD

65.8 mill in 2009. Adjusting for fleet growth and vessels on bareboat charter,

the operating expenses decreased by 1% in 2010 compared to 2009.

Area of operation

The Fleet of 21 vessels has been employed worldwide in 4Q10 and by end

of the quarter the vessels operated in or were under mobilization to the

following geographical areas;

North Sea : 5 vessels

Mediterranean : 2 vessels

West Africa : 1 vessels

Asia and Australia : 5 vessels

South America : 8 vessels

Deep Sea Supply has chartering departments in Singapore, Brazil and Norway

responsible for the marketing and chartering of the vessels. The offices inSingapore and Brazil are also technical managers for part of the fleet.

Of the 21 vessels, 15 vessels had Cyprus flag and 6 vessels had Norwegian

flag. The NOR flagged vessels are primarily crewed with Norwegians and EU

seafarers. The Cyprus flagged vessels have full Filipino crew, a combination

of Filipino crew and European Officers or a combination of Filipino and

Indonesians.

Q4

4 Q2010 4

Vessels under construction - Construction supervision:

Construction supervision is performed partly by external management

companies and partly by DESSC, with site teams located at the shipyard.

Technical management of the Fleet

DESSC considers it vital to do proactive maintenance and ensure that vessels

are operating safely and are in technical good condition. At the same time, the

Company has a strong focus on reducing operating expenses. This is done by

continuously tight follow-up of external and own management offices.

DESSC has established ship management companies in Brazil and Singapore

in order to do technical management of the fleet in-house. The first vessels

were taken over by DESSC own technical organizations in Q410.

Other items

Gain on sales

The sale of Sea Otter and Sea Marten gave a significant gain in Q410.

In addition, this item consists of gain related to the sale of vessels to ShipFinance International in 2007 and 2008.

Other operating expenses

These are general and administration expenses for the offices in Cyprus,

Singapore, Brazil and Norway.

Depreciations

All vessels are depreciated to zero when they are 30 years old.

Net financial items

Interest expenses are related to interest on the senior bank loan facility

financing most of the Companys vessels, the interest portion of the bareboat

paid to Ship Finance International regarding the vessels on sale and leaseback,

the separate financing facility for Sea Eagle 1 and interest of the loan facilityfrom Metrogas Holdings.

Net currency items

Currency items are the net result of both realised gains/(losses) and

unrealised gains/(losses) arising from revaluation of monetary assets of the

Group.

Change in value of financial derivatives

For hedging purposes, the Company has entered into interest rate swaps. The

market value of these transactions is measured at the end of every quarter,

resulting in an increase in 4Q10 of USD 0.6 mill. The value of the interest rate

swaps is negative with USD 0.5 mill.

Tax

Taxes in 4Q10 were USD 2.6 mill and taxes for the full year 2010 were USD

2.5 mill. In 2007 the Company recognized an amount (USD 8.1 mill) as taxes

payable following the transition rules from the old tax regime to the new

tonnage tax system adopted by the Government. After a High Court decision

in Norway, made on 12th February 2010, it was concluded that the transition

rules were in breach of the constitution, paragraph 97. Following thisdecision, the Company decided to reverse the provision made in 2007 and to

recognize the tax already paid in 2008 and 2009 as a receivable in the balance

sheet. In May 2010 it was decided that tax legislation will be changed, which

will give an option to settle the untaxed profits from the previous tonnage tax

system with a one-time assessment. The Company has decided to enter into

the new tax regime, which means that the company will settle its tax liability

with a total payment of NOK 15.8 mill (USD 2.8 mill). This tax has been

recognized in full in 4Q10 and will be payable in the period 2011-2013.

As previously reported, DESSC has had a long standing dispute with the tax

authorities. The tax authorities, represented by Skatt Sr (the regional tax

office) is claiming that the sales price of shipbuilding contracts sold to various

Cyprus domiciled subsidiaries in 2006, should have been higher. In February

2011, the Company was notified that Skatt Sr maintains their position. TheCompany strongly disagrees with Skatt Sr and has made no allocations in

the 2010 financial statements related to this.

Cash, cash flow and equityThe Companys cash balance by the end of 2010 was USD 41.9 mill compared

to USD 31.6 mill by the end of 2009. The cash generated from operating

activities in 2010 was USD 36.4 mill, net cash generated from investingactivities was USD 20.0 mill (sale of two AHTS vessels, delivery of Sea

Marten, upgrade and survey costs), net proceeds from financing activities

were a negative USD 46.1 mill. Net change in liquidity is hence USD 10.3 mill.

Total Equity by the end of the 4Q10 was USD 161.6 mill compared to USD

164.0 mill by the end of last year.

Balance sheet

Trade and other receivables

Total receivables from customers were USD 26.0 mill which is a slight

increase from USD 22.5 mill by end of 2009. Of the total receivables, 70%

was less than 1 month old and 24% between 1 and 4 months old.

CIRR LoansDuring 2008 the Group applied for Commercial Interest Reference Rate

(CIRR) loans from the Norwegian Export Credit Agency. The total loan

amount was in NOK equivalent to USD 48.6 mill. The duration of the loans

are 12 years and the cash proceeds from the loans have been deposited

in a fixed deposit account with a Norwegian bank at a higher interest rate

than that of the loans. The agreed period of the deposits is identical with the

one of the loans. The loans and the interest thereof will be repaid from that

account and the difference has been recognized as deferred gain and will be

amortized over the period of the life of the loans.

Currencies of revenues and costs

Revenues are mainly in USD, EURO, BRL and GBP. Operating expenses are

mainly in USD with the exception of NOK salaries on the NOR flagged

vessels. Financial expenses are in USD and NOK.

Q4

Events after end of reporting periodAn important part of DESSCs strategy is to gain market access to new

local markets for its vessels. In Q111, DESSC reflagged Sea Weasel to

Malaysian flag and the vessel was sold to a Malaysian joint venture whereDESSC participates as owner and operator. The Company looks positively at

developing new market opportunities in Malaysia.

In Q111, DESSC sold the 12 year old AHTS vessels Sea Cougar and Sea

Wolf at attractive prices. The strategic reason behind this sale was renewal

of the Companys fleet.

Future outlook

The long term market fundamentals remain in place with a high oil price. E&P

spending for 2011 is expected to increase by 15% compared to 2010, which is

expected to lead to an increased demand for AHTS and PSVs.

In the short and medium term, DESSC is expecting a soft Q111. There are

many available OSVs worldwide and a significant number of vessels will bedelivered also in 2011. However, bright spots include the recent tightening

of the North Sea spot market, an increase in international outstanding term

requirements and the continued trend of old vessels leaving the market.

The Company is expected to benefit from strategic moves made in Brazil

and Malaysia, and expects increased utilization of the fleet based on these

initiatives.

Companys shareholdersAs per the end of Q410, the Companys largest shareholder is Hemen

Holding Limited with a shareholding of 35.1%.

Main risks factors and uncertaintiesA number of the Companys vessels are in the spot market, on short or

medium term charters and the earnings on these vessels are hence sensitive

to changes in the charter rates and utilization. Reduced charter rate can

result in a drain of the Companys cash. Currently the Company has 5

newbuildings under construction from shipyards and the Company is hence

exposed to delays in deliveries which may impact future revenues. The

Company is furthermore sensitive to changes in interest rates as part of its

financing has floating interest.

Transaction between related parties

DESSC has entered into two sale and leaseback transactions with Ship

Finance International Limited (SFI) in 2007 and 2008. SFIs largest

shareholder is Hemen Holding Ltd. who is also DESSCs largest shareholder.The sale and leaseback transactions are done on market terms.

The Company has also entered into a credit facility agreement with Metrogas

Holdings Inc, an affiliated company of Hemen Holding Limited. The facility

agreement is done at market terms.

During the year, the Group has obtained an unsecured loan from a major shareholder, of USD 10 million. The balance at the end of thi rd quarter was USD 10 million. The loan is payable in three years

and carries interest of 3 months LIBOR plus 450 bps per annum.

As previously announced, the Norwegian tax authorities, after reviewing the tax return of 2006 of Deep Sea Supply AS (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group at that time), claims that the transaction

involving the sale of ship building contracts to Cyprus domiciled subsidiaries should have been done in higher levels. The Company, after advice from auditors and tax lawyers, is disputing the claim of

the tax authorities. The board is strongly disputing the issue raised by the tax authorities.

The vessels Sea Wolf 1 and Sea Cougar were sold. The vessel Sea Weasel was reflagged to Malaysian flag, and sold to a joint venture in Malaysia where the Company participates with a significant shareholding.
