AUDITED STATEMENTS FOR THE 2006/2007 FINANCIAL YEAR


For AS Tallink Grupp and its subsidiaries (hereinafter also referred to as 
“the Group”), the first full financial year with the previous financial year's 
big investments on board ended with a strong and healthy result which is
assuring that the business of the significantly grown company is sound and 
effective. 

During the 2006/2007 financial year, the Group's revenues increased by 88% to 
11,903 million EEK (761 million EUR). Excluding non-recurring costs the Group's 
EBITDA increased by 87% to 2,738 million EEK (175 million EUR). The Group 
transported 6.9 million passengers, which is 63.5% more than in the previous 
financial year.

During the 2006/2007 financial year, the Group's focus was on the restructuring 
and integration of the acquired Silja Line business. Many overlapping positions 
in onshore organisations were reduced and many administration, sales and 
procurement related duties were centralized. Pension fund management was 
transferred out from the Group and several unfavourable service contracts were 
terminated. Furthermore, delays in the implementation of a new Group-wide
booking 
system and the centralization of back office activities resulted in extra costs 
caused by the temporary application of parallel IT systems and related support 
functions. Non recurring integration and restructuring costs totalled 
approximately 250 million EEK (16 million EUR).

Given the fact that during the first full post-acquisition year the positive 
impact of Silja's synergies is hardly visible, the following years have great 
upside potential.
