CHANGES IN ESSENTIAL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The 2012 Financial statements, published in March 2013, contains a thorough description of essential legal proceedings and the following is a description of the changes compared to what was reported in the financial statements:
A number of former and current employees of the Company, represented by the Union of Salaried Employees, has brought an action against the Company at the City Court of Helsinki on adherance to the general increases of the collective agreement. The Court has in February 2012 rendered the decision in favour of the employees and ordered the Company to compensate the employees with about EUR 0.2 million in all. The Company has appealed the decision partly at the Helsinki Court of Appeal. The Helsinki Court of Appeal rendered its decision in April 2013 in favour of the employees.
TONNAGE TAXATION
The Finnish Parliament has approved the amended Tonnage Tax Act (476/2002), as amended by the Act 90/2012 which entered into force on 1 March 2012. Finnlines Plc’s board decided on December 2012 to enter into the tonnage taxation regime as from 1 January 2013. In the tonnage taxation regime, the shipping operations will be transferred from business taxation to tonnage-based taxation.
The depreciation difference of EUR 215.1 million recorded in Finnlines Plc’s opening balance as per 1.1.2013 has been divided into two portions: the depreciation difference of EUR 162.4 million (75.5 per cent) and deferred tax liability of EUR 52.7 million (24.5 per cent). The depreciation difference of EUR 162.4 million has been entered in the distributable funds of Finnlines Plc’s equity. The deferred tax of EUR 52.7 million has been entered in the deferred tax liability. The recording has no effect on the equity and the deferred tax liability of the consolidated financial statements of the Finnlines Group.
The fixed assets subject to tonnage tax regime must be revalued in the transition moment 1.1.2013 into their fair values. The fair value of Finnlines Plc’s fixed assets exceeded their net book values by EUR 7.0 million, and out of this amount the company recorded a deferred tax liability of EUR 1.7 million (24.5 per cent). The fair value of the fixed assets exceeded their group values by EUR 1.5 million, and the share of deferred tax liability out of this amount was EUR 0.4 million.
According to the tonnage tax regime in the transition moment 1.1.2013 the value of maximum amount entered as income determined to the fixed assets subject to tonnage tax regime a maximum reduction of 1/9 can be done from the second year onwards. The yearly maximum of deductable amount cannot exceed the maximum value of granted state subsidy. The deferred tax liability will decline respectively according to the valid corporate tax rate.
Finnlines Plc will record the reduction of deferred tax liability as from 1.1.2013 according to the above mentioned tonnage tax act.
EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING PERIOD
Finnlines has sold the vessels Translubeca and Transeuropa. MS Transeuropa has been sold to the Grimaldi Group at market price, which is slightly above the book value of the vessel. MS Translubeca has been sold to an external party at market price, which is also slightly above book value of the vessel. The sales will have minor positive effect on Finnlines’ result in the last quarter of 2013.
The Finnish prosecutor has taken a decision, in so called Lattakia case relating to a container consisting of military equiment, not to prosecute the three employees of Finnlines Group.
The Board of Directors of Finnlines Plc has accepted Mr Uwe Bakosch’s request to leave his function as the CEO and President of Finnlines Plc. Mr Bakosch will continue as a Managing Director of Finnlines Deutschland GmbH. The Board of Directors has appointed Mr Emanuele Grimaldi as the new CEO and President of Finnlines Plc starting on 5 November 2013. On the same date the Board of Directors has elected Mr Jon-Aksel Torgersen as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors as Mr Grimaldi has stepped down as the Chairman of the Board of Directors.
OUTLOOK AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
Finnlines has continued the re-structuring of its fleet and organisation in order to improve cost efficiency of its vessels and its overall logistics system. With the completed deliveries of the six newbuildings the dependency on a volatile charter market has been further reduced.
The Board expects that the remaining part of the year 2013 will still be volatile and challenging. The result for the reporting period for the last quarter of 2013 is expected to improve over the corresponding quarter in 2012.
The Group Financial Statement bulletin for the period 1 January – 31 December 2013 will be published on Thursday, 27 February 2014.

REPORTING AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
This interim report included herein is prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting) standard. The Company has adopted new or revised IFRS standards and IFRIC interpretations from beginning of the reporting period corresponding to those described in the 2012 Financial Statements.
With effect from 1 January 2013, the Finnlines Group has adopted the revised IAS 19 Employee benefits standard. The amendment has an impact on the Finnlines Group's pension liability and equity on the balance sheet. Resulting from the amendment, the Finnlines's consolidated statement of financial position for 2012 have been updated in compliance with the requirements prescribed in the revised standard. In consequence of the adoption of the revised IAS 19 Employee benefits standard, the Group's equity in the 2012 opening balance will decrease by EUR 1.2 million and in the balance sheet of 31 December 2012 by EUR 0.1 million due to actuarial losses recognised in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.
Otherwise new or revised standards have not had an effect on the reported figures.
Finnlines Plc was included in tonnage taxation from January 2013. In tonnage taxation, shipping operations shifted from taxation of business income to tonnage-based taxation.
In other respects, the same accounting policies have been followed as in the previous annual financial statements.
All figures in the accounts have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.
The preparation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the valuation of the reported assets and liabilities and other information such as contingent liabilities and the recognition of income and expenses in the income statement. Although the estimates are based on the management’s best knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may differ from the estimates. The uncertainties related to the key assumptions were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements at the year end 31 December 2012.

The amendment has an impact on the Finnlines Group's pension liability and equity on the balance sheet. Resulting from the amendment, the Finnlines' consolidated statement of financial position for 2012 have been updated in compliance with the requirements prescribed in the revised standard. In consequence of the adoption of the revised IAS 19 Employee benefits standard, the Group's equity in the 2012 opening balance will decrease by EUR 1.2 million and in the balance sheet of 31 December 2012 by EUR 0.1 million due to actuarial losses recognised in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position.
** The revolving credit facilities, of which the company can unilaterally move the final due date over one year after the reporting period, are reclassified from current liabilities to non-current liabilities in accordance with IFRS.

Income tax expense is recognised based on the best estimate of the weighted-average annual income tax rate expected for the full financial year. In January 2013 the shipping operations of Finnlines Plc transferred to tonnage-based taxation as described in more detail in the Tonnage Taxation chapter on page 4.
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In September 2013 Finnlines sold MS Europalink to the Grimaldi Group at the market price of EUR 86 million. The vessel was chartered out since October last year and was sailing in Grimaldi traffic in the Mediterranean Sea.
Finnlines has cut its fleet overcapacity in the second quarter by chartering MS Finnarrow for five years to the Grimaldi Group.
Otherwise there were no material related party transactions during the reporting period. The business transactions were carried out using market-based pricing.
