FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT The management of financial risks aims to reduce the volatility in earnings, the statement of financial position and cash flow, while se- curing effective and competitive financing for the Group. The main financial risks are currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, liquid- ity risk, funding risk and fuel price risk. For risk management the Group may use currency forwards, currency loans, interest rate swaps and fuel price clauses included in customer contracts. The Group’s risk management principles are approved by the Board of Direc- tors, and the responsibility for their implementation lies with the Group Finance, with the exception of the fuel price clauses, which are the responsibility of the business units. CURRENCY RISK The Group operates internationally and is therefore exposed to transaction risks through different currency positions. The main foreign currencies used by the Group are USD and SEK. Currency risks arise from commercial transactions, monetary items in the statement of financial position and net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Transaction risk In 2010, over 90 per cent of sales were invoiced in EUR, and the rest in SEK, DKK, NOK, USD and GBP. Purchases are mainly paid in EUR. Bunker purchases are made in USD. Bunker price clauses included in customer contracts cover to big extent this USD risk. Cur- rency positions are reviewed for each currency every 12 months in connection with annual budgeting. The Group’s business units may make internal derivative contracts with the Group Finance to hedge a specific activity. In such cases too, the Group Finance decides, according to the principles approved by the Board of Directors, on any hedging to be made with an external counterpart based on the whole Group’s net currency position. All of the Group’s interest-bearing liabilities on the end of the reporting period were in EUR. 38 FINNLINES PLC Financial Statements 2010 (figures in EUR thousand, if not stated otherwise)

Hedge Accounting The Group has ordered six ro-ro vessels from the Chinese Jinling shipyard. These vessels will be paid partly in USD but the instalments have been fully hedged against EUR. The Group applies hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39 to these derivative contracts for the spot part of the currency forward. It is considered as hedging of cash flow from a highly probable transaction. The following table shows the duration and fair values of the hedging instruments. The maturities of the forward contracts are in accordance with the peri- ods when the hedged cash flows are expected to occur.
