Endorsement and Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. and its subsidiaries ("Eimskip") are prepared and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. The financial statements are presented in thousands of EUR. Eimskip specializes in shipping, logistics and supply chain management and offers its customers solutions on both land and sea with special emphasis on the handling and storing of any type of temperature-controlled cargo, frozen or chilled.

During the first nine months of the year 2012 three reefer vessels, that were previously chartered, have been purchased. The building of two new container vessels in China has continued during the period with scheduled delivery in the year 2013.

Net earnings for the nine months ended 30 September 2012 amounted to EUR 13.7 million in the consolidated income statement. Total equity at 30 September 2012 amounted to EUR 190.4 million. At year-end 2011 the total number of shares in Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. was 20 million. During the period the number of shares was increased to 200 million by a stock split. The stock split has no effect on the Company's equity. The Company holds 6% of issued shares. Four shareholders owned more than 10% share in the Company at period-end, Landsbanki Íslands hf. with 30.3%, Yucaipa American Alliance Fund II LP. with 15.3% and Yucaipa American Alliance (Parallel) Fund II LP. with 10.0% and Lífeyrissjódur verzlunarmanna with 14.6%. Following the listing of the Company on the NASDAQ OMX Iceland stock exchange in November the ownership of the largest shareholders has changed.

In December 2011 the board of directors decided to commence necessary preparation for the Company's shares to be registered and traded on the NASDAQ OMX Iceland stock exchange in late 2012. During the first nine months of the year 2012 necessary steps were taken to prepare for the listing. The process was finalized on 16 November 2012 when trading of the Company´s shares commenced. As a part of the listing process the Company sold 6,000,000 shares of its treasury shares. The net proceeds from the sale amounted to EUR 7.5 million which strengthens the Company's financial positon considerably.

Corporate Governance

Eimskip's management is of the opinion that practicing good Corporate Governance is vital for Eimskip and is in the best interests of the shareholders, Group companies, employees and other stakeholders.

The framework for Corporate Governance practices within Eimskip consists of the provisions of law, the parent company's Articles of Association, general securities regulations and the Icelandic Corporate Governance guidelines issued in 2009 and revised in 2012 by the Iceland Chamber of Commerce, NASDAQ OMX Iceland and the Confederations of Icelandic Employers. Corporate Governance practices ensure open and transparent relationship between the Company´s management, its Board of Directors, its shareholders and other stakeholders.

The Corporate Governance in Eimskip ensures sound and effective control of the Company´s affairs and a high level of business ethics.

It is the opinion of the Board of Directors that Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. complies with the Icelandic guidelines for Corporate Governance.

Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

According to the best of our knowledge, it is our opinion that the condensed consolidated interim financial statements give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial performance of Eimskip for the nine months ended 30 September 2012, its assets, liabilities and consolidated financial position as at 30 September 2012 and its consolidated cash flows for the nine month period ended 30 September 2012.

Further, in our opinion the condensed consolidated financial statements and the Endorsement by the Board of Directors and the CEO give a fair view of the development and performance of Eimskip's operations and its position and describes the principal risks and uncertainties faced by Eimskip.

The notes on pages 10 to 14 are an integral part of these Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements.

1. Reporting entity

Eimskipafélag Íslands hf. (the "Company") is a public limited liability company domiciled in Iceland. The address of the Company's registered office is Korngardar 2, 104 Reykjavík. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2012 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Eimskip") and Eimskip's interest in associated companies. The parent company is an investment company focused on investments in shipping and logistics services.

2. Statement of compliance

The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU.

The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of consolidated annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2011 and the consolidated financial interim statements of the Company as at and for the period ended 30 June 2012, which are available on the Company's website, www.eimskip.is

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 29 November 2012.

3. Significant accounting policies

The accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended 30 September 2012, and have been applied consistently by Group entities.

These consolidated financial statements are presented in Euro (EUR), which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in EUR has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

4. Estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

In preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements, the significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2011.

5. Income tax

(i) The net taxes for the nine month period is income despite earnings before taxes

One of the Company's subsidiaries has taxable losses that were not recognized due to uncertainty. Following the purchase of the three vessels in 2012 this company now has operating income which will offset the previously unrecognized tax losses. As a result tax losses amounting to EUR 2.8 million were recognized.

Further the fluctuations in effective income tax rates in profit or loss is explained by different geographical composition of profit or loss before taxes in individual companies.

12. Subsequent events

In December 2011 the board of directors decided to commence necessary preparation for the Company's shares to be registered and traded on the NASDAQ OMX Iceland stock exchange in late 2012. During the first nine months of the year 2012 necessary steps were taken to prepare for the listing. The process was finalized on 16 November 2012 when trading of the Company´s shares commenced. Total expenses incurred during the period relating to the listing of the Company amounted to EUR 0.7 million at period-end.

As a part of the listing process the Company sold 6,000,000 shares of its treasury shares. The net proceeds from the sale amounted to EUR 7.5 million which strengthens the Company's financial positon considerably.

In 2010, 2011 and 2012 share option programs that entitled executive management personnel to purchase shares in the Company were established and unanimously ratified at each annual shareholders meeting. The share options were to be settled by the sale of shares to key management at a specific exercise price against payment in cash or so called equity-settled-share-based-payments. The cost of such agreements is recognized in the financial statements during the option period which was 10 years for these agreements.

In connection with the Company's listing on the NASDAQ OMX Iceland the executive management decided to forfeit their share options. The stock option programs were put in place by resolutions at shareholders´meetings and changes to the program needs to be approved by a shareholders' meeting. Cancellation of the program will have the effect that the total value of the agreements will be expensed in full.

The derived value of the share options is EUR 3.6 million according to the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model of which EUR 0.7 million has been recognized as expenses at 30 September 2012 and therefore EUR 2.9 million may be expensed in the fourth quarter of 2012. Even though such expenses will have direct affect on net income and EPS it will have no effect on the Company's cash flows or the amount of net equity.
