During the second quarter, the parties reached an amicable settlement agreement in the dispute with Sponda Kiinteistöt Oy on the termination of the lease agreements. In this dispute the Helsinki District Court rendered its decision in February 2012 in favour of Sponda.
In January 2012, Mutual Pension Insurance Company Ilmarinen filed an application for a leave to appeal and a petition of appeal with the Supreme Court regarding the judgement of the Helsinki Court of Appeal of 29 November 2011 in which the Court of Appeal overruled the judgement rendered by the Helsinki District Court on 3 March 2010 and dismissed all claims presented against Finnlines Plc by Ilmarinen.
In the case of the sub-chartering of two vessels to Benfleet Shipping Limited, Cyprus (“SSI”) the District Court of Limassol, Cyprus, has rendered decision in favour of the Company for the enforcement of the decision of the sole arbitrator in Cyprus.

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 systems. These measures will also enable the possible entering into the renewed Finnish tonnage taxation system, in force as from March 2012. The final decision to enter the tonnage taxation system is to be taken by the end of 2014 at the latest.
The Board expects 2012 still to be a volatile and challenging year. The Company is well prepared to face the market challenges.

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 2011 Financial Statements. These new or revised standards have not had an effect on the reported figures. 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.
