Main developments in the winding-up proceedings since the previous report Reference is made to the preliminary report dated 16 September 2009 and to Annual Report 1 dated 6 October 2010 and Annual Report II dated 28 June 2011. The reports must be read in conjunction with each other. The information in the reports will not be repeated unless this is expedient for presentation purposes. The creditors have also received updates on the status of the winding-up proceedings through correspondence prepared in connection with the examination of further claims and new preliminary distributions. The estate’s work since the last annual report has mostly consisted of the collection of claims, final consideration of unexamined claims, and carrying out further distributions. The estate has also continued its work on completing and auditing the accounts of the Maltese companies, and it has endeavoured to clarity and collect the claims for the reimbursement of value added tax in the Netherlands. As in previous reports, this report will only deal with important matters, and matters that are, relatively speaking, less important will not be dealt with. 4. The relationship with TTS Sense AS and TTS Group ASA The settlement agreement with and work in relation to TTS Sense AS and TTS Group ASA have been thoroughly described in previous reports, and reference is made to Annual Report II section 5 for information about the status as of June 2011. Following payments pursuant to the settlement agreement, in May 2012 TTS wished to repay the vendor's credit of NOK 55,000,000, and such payment was made on 1 June 2012. In that connection, the estate in liquidation has deleted the registered stock lien it held in TTS as security for the loan, and, pursuant to the loan agreement, all the parties' claims against each other under the loan agreement have now been settled. 5. The estate’s realisation work since the annual report - MAIN developments 5.1. Maintenance rigs in Canada IO & R Ltd filed a claim relating to complaints in connection with the sale of two 150 T maintenance rigs that were sold by the deadline that had been set. In connection with the sale, an amount of NOK 2,550,000 was set aside as a maximum amount for liability for claims. Some of the complaints cited in the claim were justified, and the parties arrived at an amicable agreement about the claims whereby NOK 1,400,000 of the purchase price was repaid to IO & R Ltd. The remaining amount, NOK 1,203,045.11 including interest, was transferred to the estate's account on 17 February 2012. 5.2. Return of premium Reference is made to Annual Report II section 6.3, in which the auditor for the estate raises the question of whether the estate in liquidation might be entitled to a larger return of premium. Årsredegjørelse III (20130920) - engelsk: 14878881 Advokatfirmaet Simonsen Vogt Wiig AS Page 3 of 8 However, correspondence with the debtor's insurance company has clarified that the estate had no such claim. 5.3. Loans to employees Reference is made to Annual Report II section 6.4 concerning the estate's agreement for the repayment of a loan to a former employee. This agreement has been complied with, and the loan has now been repaid, including the agreed interest. 6. Particular matters 6.1. Claim against Porosity The estate has not found it justifiable to spend more funds to attempt to collect the claim against Porosity. 6.2. Reimbursement of value added tax - the Netherlands Ability Drilling Malta II Germany Ltd has filed a claim for reimbursement of value added tax that the company had paid to the Dutch authorities before the commencement of liquidation proceedings for Ability Drilling ASA. Reimbursement has been obtained for one payment period, but reimbursement claims totalling EUR 654,469 remain outstanding. This amount concerns value added tax on goods that have now been sold. The Dutch VAT authorities have requested a detailed overview of which goods the paid VAT relates to, as well as a detailed overview of which goods have been sold and which, if any, are still in storage in the Netherlands. This is very time-consuming and complicated work for the estate, both as regards proving what the payments relate to and establishing in detail which goods had been sold before the commencement of liquidation proceedings. The estate is cooperating with PwC in the Netherlands and hopes to clarify this matter within a few months. 6.3. Claims against a former employee The estate refers to Annual Report II section 7.3 for information about the basis for the claim against a former employee. As mentioned, the matter was considered by Askoy Conciliation Board on 30 May 2011. No settlement was reached in the case and the former employee did not consent to a judgment being pronounced, and the Conciliation Board therefore discontinued the case. After assessing the procedural risk, the estate has decided not to pursue the matter further. 7. The financial relationship between the subsidiaries and the debtor Annual Report II section 8 described the relationship between Ability Drilling ASA and its subsidiaries in Malta, particularly loan transactions between the companies. Substantial repayments have been made of the Maltese subsidiaries' loan obligations to the parent company. It is nevertheless clear that the subsidiaries are not, and nor will they be, in a Årsredegjørelse III (20130920) - engelsk: 1487888 1 Advokatfirmaet Simonsen Vogt Wiig AS Page 4 of 8 position to settle the debtor's claims against them in full. The subsidiaries have repaid loans to the company in liquidation in the total amount of just over NOK 170 million. There are still some funds in the respective subsidiaries accounts in DNB. As of 30 July 2013, these funds break down as follows: 1) Ability Drilling Malta Holding Limited: NOK 9,563.92 2) Ability Drilling Malta Limited: NOK 257,824.74 3) Ability Drilling Malta (II) Germany Limited: NOK 738,601.29 4) Ability Drilling Malta (III) Jordan Limited: NOK 118,361.77 and EUR 1,244 5) Ability Drilling Malta (IV) UK Limited: NOK 23,657.12 It must be expected that a large part of the above-mentioned amounts will be spent on winding up the companies. On this basis and seen in conjunction with the size of the subsidiaries' remaining loan obligations to the parent company, the subsidiaries' ability to meet their loan obligations in relation to the company in liquidation will be limited. The subsidiaries have realised all their assets, with the exception of the above-mentioned claim against the Dutch authorities. Further expenses must also be expected in connection with the winding-up of these companies, see section 8.4 below. 8. The position and status of the estate in liquidation 8.1. Annual accounts Please find enclosed the estate in liquidation's accounts as of today-. This is a cash flow account based on payments to and from the estate’s operating account. In addition, the estate has a placement account, containing approx. NOK 4,100,000. 8.2. Account balances In addition to the account balance in the debtor (see above), the subsidiaries have total cash and cash equivalents of approx. NOK 1,000,000. 8.3. Receivables Once it has been clarified whether the company is entitled to reimbursement of value added tax from the Netherlands and once the companies in Malta have been would up, any remaining amount will be repaid to the estate in liquidation. 8.4. Dissolution of subsidiaries in Malta Since the assets in the subsidiaries have now been sold, there is a basis for closing the accounts of the subsidiaries in the manner required to wind them up, so that the remaining funds can be transferred to the parent company. A liquidator must then be appointed in Malta. In the period since the last annual report, the estate has continued its work of finalising the accounts of the Maltese subsidiaries for the period before and after the initiation of the liquidation proceedings, and auditing these accounts.

  • Development of Sustainable Urban Centres with Active Involvement of Vocational Education and Training (Vet)
    DEVELOPMENT OF SUSTAINABLE URBAN CENTRES WITH ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION AND TRAINING (VET) PROJECT DOCUMENT NUMBER 10 Intellectual Output 2: Educational VET program for development of urban centres Model for establishing VET education programs relevant for developing sustainable urban centres Document Background When designing this project one of the objectives was to produce intellectual outputs (IO). The project was presentation in the application like this: “Models and recommendations for educational programs, which stimulate sustainable development of urban centres.” The application describes this more in detail under chapter; Intellectual Outputs: Title: “Educational VET programme for development of urban centres” Description: “The project will develop and test educational programmes for VET-providers – where schoolwork and tasks are closely linked to real practical challenges and opportunities in the development of urban centres.” When it comes to how to address the IO 2 this was discussed in the 4th project meeting in Umbria, Italy. The following was agreed: Identify needs which is relevant to address, which at the same time is within the framework of sustainable development of urban centres. Describe how to go forward on addressing this/these issue(s). Focus on how to involve municipality and businesses. If relevant, it could be effective to work on issues which already are defined needs and addressed subjects in municipality plans or policies. Don’t create something new if it is important to work on already identified needs - as it might give a stronger joint motivation. Make a proposal for how to make a test after the October project meeting. 1 PROJEKT DOCUMENT 10 The progress was challenging, and the topic was not completed by the 5th Project meeting which was held in Hordaland.

  • Green Shift” and Renewal in Business and Society
    Partner search: - Erasmus+ Staff VET mobility (cross-sectorial Vocational education and training) or - Erasmus+ Strategic partnership Draft Title: “Green shift” and renewal in business and society Applicant: Alver municipality, Hordaland County, Norway Background and challenges/needs: Alver municipality is located in Hordaland County, 25 min from the City of Bergen. With 29 000 inhabitants Al- ver is one of the 40 largest municipalities in Norway. Alver municipality is part of the Nordhordland region, rep- resenting in total 41 000 inhabitant, 7 municipalities and 3 Upper Secondary Schools. The region has a strong growth in population, with leading businesses within energy, industry, bioeconomy and tourism. The Nordhord- land region was recently appointed the first Norwegian UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. Our goal is to promote a “green shift” for sustainable growth and welfare in our region through cross sectorial cooperation, eg. stimulate closer links between research and innovation, and better cooperation between pri- vate, public sectors and educational sector. Our motivation to participate is that for small municipalities like Alver it is very important to participate in net- works and arenas in the major “knowledge hubs” around the world. We want to know how similar partner or- ganizations operate in European countries. With whom do they team up to find the best solutions? Are there any issues we need to pay extra attention to? Objective The goal is to improve our knowledge on the topics related to building a greener and more sustainable future. To make sure that we are on the right track we want to exchange ideas and experiences and learn from Euro- pean partner organisations.

Introduction and Issue The general content of the assessment of intent (forsett) was explicitly clarified for the first time in a Norwegian criminal code when the 2005 Criminal Code and its §22 came into force on 1 October 2015. Before the Criminal Code of 1902, the subjective requirement for liability was directed solely in individual regulations, and even though intent pursu- ant to §40 in this Code was established as a general main rule, it was still up to the courts to report on the content of the judgement.1 Thus it is clear that the development towards a more and more defined and nuanced study of criminal liability took place gradually. In this article, we will go even further back in time and look at how the discussion of liability and responsibility changed between 1642 and 1799, with particular emphasis on intent and related criteria. This will be achieved by analysing cases of infanticide registered with the Hordaland district court (bygdeting), which at this time was the first instance in the legal system. In this context, infanticide refers to the killing of an unborn or newborn child with the intention of concealing the pregnancy. Strict sexual morals and legislation in the wake * Cand.jur. This article is based on findings in connection to the author’s master’s thesis, Faculty of Law, University of Bergen; Bernssen ‘Skam, skuld og straff ’(2017).
