Exhibit 15.3
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OF
TEEKAY NAKILAT (III) CORPORATION
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of
TEEKAY NAKILAT (III) CORPORATION
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets ofTeekay Nakilat (III) Corporation (or the Company) as of December 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of income (loss), shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Teekay Nakilat (III) Corporation at December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2009 in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. They include the accounts of Teekay Nakilat (III) Corporation (orNakilat), which is incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and its wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries (collectively, theCompany).
The following is a list of Nakilat’s subsidiaries:
| | | | |
| | | | Proportion of |
| | Jurisdiction of | | Ownership |
Name of Significant Subsidiaries | | Incorporation | | Interest |
| | | |
Teekay Nakilat (III) Limited(1) | | United Kingdom | | 100% |
Al Huwaila Inc. | | Marshall Islands | | 100% |
Al Kharsaah Inc. | | Marshall Islands | | 100% |
Al Shamal Inc. | | Marshall Islands | | 100% |
Al Khuwair Inc. | | Marshall Islands | | 100% |
| | |
(1) | | Teekay Nakilat (III) Limited was dissolved on August 11, 2009. |
Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Company evaluated events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date and through the day the financial statements were available to be issued which was April 26, 2010.
Foreign currency
The consolidated financial statements are stated in U.S. dollars and the functional currency of the Company is U.S. dollars. Transactions involving other currencies during the year are converted into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the time of the transactions. At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated to reflect the year end exchange rates. Resulting gains and losses are reflected separately in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2009, the Company adopted an amendment to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (orFASB) ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). Non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities include all assets and liabilities other than those meeting the definition of a financial asset or financial liability. The Company’s adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In January 2009, the Company adopted an amendment to FASB ASC 815,Derivatives and Hedging,which requires expanded disclosures about a company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities, including increased qualitative, and credit-risk disclosures. See Note 8 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the Company adopted an amendment to FASB ASC 855,Subsequent Events, which established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This amendment requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for selecting that date, that is, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued. This amendment is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Cont’d)
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)
Operating revenues and expenses
All of the Company’s voyage revenues in 2009 and 2008 were generated from a single customer. The company’s time-charters are accounted for as direct financing leases and are reflected on the consolidated balance sheets as net investments in direct financing leases. The lease revenue is recognized on an effective interest rate method over the lease term and is included in voyage revenues.
Voyage expenses are all expenses unique to a particular voyage, including bunker fuel expenses, port fees, cargo loading and unloading expenses, canal tolls, agency fees and commissions. Vessel operating expenses include crewing, repairs and maintenance, insurance, stores, lube oils and communication expenses. Voyage expenses and vessel operating expenses are recognized when incurred.
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company classifies all highly-liquid investments with a maturity date of three months or less when purchased as cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience and customer economic data. The Company reviews the allowance for doubtful accounts regularly and past due balances are reviewed for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes that the receivable will not be recovered.
Inventory
Inventory consists of lube oils for the Company’s vessels and is valued at the lower of cost or realizable value. The Company uses the first-in-first-out method of accounting for inventory.
Debt issuance costs
Deferred debt issuance costs, including fees, commissions and legal expenses, are deferred and amortized using the effective interest rate method. Amortization of deferred debt issuance costs for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 of $1.2 million, nil and nil, respectively, is included in interest expense.
Derivative instruments
All derivative instruments are initially recorded at cost as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and subsequently remeasured to fair value, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the derivative. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss is dependent on whether the derivative contract is designed to hedge a specific risk and also qualifies for hedge accounting. The Company currently does not apply hedge accounting to its derivative instruments.
For derivative financial instruments that are not designated or that do not qualify as hedges under FASB ASC 815, the changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are recognized in earnings. Gains and losses from the Company’s non-designated interest rate swaps related to long-term debt are recorded in realized and unrealized gain on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the current credit worthiness of the swap counter parties. The estimated amount is the present value of future cash flows. Given the current volatility in the credit markets, it is reasonably possible that the amount recorded as derivative assets and liabilities could vary by a material amount in the near-term.
The Company transacts all of its derivative instruments through investment-grade-rated financial institutions at the time of the transaction and requires no collateral from these institutions. See note 8 for fair value disclosures of derivative instruments.
Income taxes
The legal jurisdictions in which Nakilat and its Marshall Islands subsidiaries are incorporated do not impose income taxes upon shipping-related activities.
Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the differences between the financial statement and income tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is provided for the portion of deferred tax assets that is more likely than not to be unrealized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates and laws.
The Company adopted FASB’s interpretation of Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes as of January 1, 2009. The interpretation requires companies to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If a tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements based on guidance in the interpretation. The adoption of this interpretation did not have material impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company did not have any material accrued interest and penalties relating to income taxes.

Comprehensive income
During the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 the Company’s comprehensive income (loss) and net income (loss) were the same.
2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Cash and restricted cash— The fair value of the Company’s cash and restricted cash approximates its carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets.
Long-term debt— The fair values of the Company’s fixed-rate and variable-rate long-term debt are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on rates currently available for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
Due to and from affiliates and shareholders— The fair value of the Company’s due to and from affiliates and shareholders approximates their carrying amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to its current nature.
Derivative instruments— The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current interest rates and the current credit worthiness of both the Company and the swap counterparties.
The Company categorizes the fair value estimates by a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy has three levels based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value as follows:
| | |
Level 1. | | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; |
| | |
Level 2. | | Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and |
| | |
Level 3. | | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. |
The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments and categorization using the fair value hierarchy for those financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as at December 31 is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | 2009 | | | 2008 | |
| | | | | | Carrying | | | Fair | | | Carrying | | | Fair | |

(1) | | The Company’s interest rate swap agreements as at December 31, 2009 and 2008 include $4.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of accrued interest which is recorded in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. |
|
(2) | | The fair value of the Company’s due to and from affiliates and shareholders as at December 31, 2008 was not determinable given the amounts are non-current with no fixed repayment terms. |
No non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities were carried at fair value at December 31, 2009 and 2008.

The net gain or loss on the Company’s interest rate swaps has been reported in realized and unrealized gain on derivative instruments in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Realized losses related to interest rate swaps was $16.6 million, nil and nil million for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In addition, to the extent practical, interest rate swaps are entered into with different counterparties to reduce concentration risk.

10. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS NOT YET ADOPTED
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, an amendment to FASB ASC 810,Consolidationsthat eliminates certain exceptions to consolidating qualifying special-purpose entities, contains new criteria for determining the primary beneficiary, and increases the frequency of required reassessments to determine whether a company is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This amendment also contains a new requirement that any term, transaction, or arrangement that does not have a substantive effect on an entity’s status as a variable interest entity, a company’s power over a variable interest entity, or a company’s obligation to absorb losses or its right to receive benefits of an entity must be disregarded. The elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and its consolidation exceptions means more entities will be subject to consolidation assessments and reassessments. During February 2010, the scope of the revised standard was modified to indefinitely exclude certain entities from the requirement to be assessed for consolidation. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009, and for interim periods within that first period, with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to FASB ASC 860,Transfers and Servicesthat eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, creates more stringent conditions for reporting a transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale, clarifies other sale-accounting criteria, and changes the initial measurement of a transferor’s interest in transferred financial assets. This amendment will be effective for transfers of financial assets in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009 and in interim periods within those fiscal years with earlier adoption prohibited. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to FASB ASC 605,Revenue Recognitionthat provides for a new methodology for establishing the fair value for a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement. When vendor specific objective or third-party evidence for deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement cannot be determined, the Company will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price of separate deliverables and to allocate the arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. This amendment will be effective for the Company on January 1, 2011. The Company is currently assessing the potential impacts, if any, on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to FASB ASC 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, which amends the guidance on fair value to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. This amendment effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption will have no impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
