the Group (using the proportionate consolidation method) had an operating result (Ebit) of uSd 58 million for the first semester 2014, including uSd 25.9 million capital gain on sale of assets (2013: Ebit of uSd 73.8 million, including uSd 52.8 million capital gain on the sale of 50% of ExMAR LPG to teekay LnG Partners). the financial result has been positively influenced by the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives entered to hedge the interest
rate exposure on long-term financing of the fleet, which resulted in an non-cash unrealized profit of uSd 2.8 million (2013: uSd 27.1 million), and by the sale of the shares teekay for an amount of uSd 1.6 million (2013: uSd 4.5 million). the consolidated result after taxation for the first half 2014 amounts to uSd 51.9 million (2013: uSd 90.2 million).
As previously announced, the Company applies the new accounting standards IFRS 10 and IFRS 11 as of 1st January 2014. As a result, the consolidation method applied to joint ventures has changed and the comparative fi gures for 2013 have been restated. All joint ventures in which the company has an interest have now been accounted for using the equity method and the contribution by such joint ventures is now reported in the income statement on one line "Share in the result of equity accounted investees". For information purposes, the Company included the consolidated income statement as if EXMAR would have continued to apply proportionate consolidation for its joint ventures for the fi rst semester 2014. For more details about the impact of the fi rst-time adoption of IFRS 10 and IFRS 11, we also refer to note 3 "Signifi cant accounting policies". The key fi gures used and the comments made in "2. Contribution per division" are all based upon fi nancial information using the proportionate consolidation method.
In addition, EXMAR has applied a new depreciation policy for its LNG fl eet as of 1st January 2014. The economic life for the Group's LNG vessels has been extended from 30 to 35 years. This change has been applied in line with the LNG owners as from January 1st, 2014 and comparative fi gures have not been restated. Depreciation cost (using the proportionate consolidation method) relating to LNG vessels is therefore lower by USD 1.9 million for the fi rst semester of 2014.
The LNG fleet recorded an operational result (EBIT) of USD 18.2 million during the first six months of the year.

LNG Transport
All LNG's and LNGRV's were in service and have fully contributed during this first semester under their respective time-charters, except for EXCEL who has been idle since mid-December, due to tight product and longer tonnage markets with the increasing number of larger more efficient newbuildings being delivered. Despite such market environment ConocoPhillips confirmed the charter of the vessel for 6 months (+2 months option) starting in April 2014. EXCEL continues to benefit from minimum revenue undertaking
In June LNGRV EXPLORER suffered an engine room fire in the Indian Ocean disabling the propulsion system as a result of which the vessel was required to be towed to Dubai for gasfreeing and repairs. There was no loss of life and no injuries occurred. Repairs will be completed by early September, whereas the financial implications will be minimal, as most of the employment cost and repairs are covered by insurance.
No dry-docks are foreseen on the LNG fleet during the rest of 2014. For the second half of 2014 we expect the vessels to contribute in line with the first semester under their respective charter.
The surging demand for natural gas and the plentiful amount of natural gas reserves, make that EXMAR can offer its clients turnkey and innovative LNG infrastructure solutions . These solutions enable our clients either to transform natural gas into LNG or regasify LNG, each time in a competitive, fast-track and flexible way.
Following a build, own, operate contract signed with Pacific Rubiales Energy (PRE) in 2012, the construction of the floating liquefaction unit Caribbean FLNG at Wison Heavy Industry's shipyard in Nantong, China, is progressing as planned.

The project is on budget and on schedule and the FLNG barge is due to be launched for final outfitting and completion of (pre-) commissioning activities while afloat at the shipyard. Start of operations is scheduled as from the second half of 2015, near the shores of the Colombian Caribbean Coast. After commissioning, the world's first FLNG in operation will liquefy and supply up to 0.5 million tons of LNG per annum under a tolling structure with PRE over a 15 year period.
Project qualification and due diligence were completed successfully, and the project financing is progressing well. Furthermore, EXMAR has established a local entity in Colombia in order to prepare for and support the unit's arrival and start of operations. Obtaining local permits, operator training and planning of terminal operations are proceeding as scheduled. Meanwhile, the LNG carriers to load the produced LNG cargoes have been identified.
Leveraging its first mover advantage in the field of FLNG, EXMAR is also working on several other opportunities worldwide. Following the strategic partnership between EXMAR and EDF Trading (EDFT) in 2013, to jointly develop LNG export opportunities in North America, both parties are continuing to develop and study several potential opportunities.
For its Floating Liquefaction Project in British Columbia, Canada, EXMAR is currently negotiating with the various and potential new stakeholders of BC LNG to develop the first floating unit in Canada. Negotiations are progressing well.
In addition to the floating liquefaction projects described above, EXMAR is also pursuing a variety of other floating liquefaction opportunities that are in different stages of development.
EXMAR has been an established owner and operator of LNG regasification vessels since 2005. Based on this experience and given the current number of floating LNG import projects being studied and developed worldwide, EXMAR designed an innovative barge-based floating regasification solution that offers optimal flexibility to its clients.
Building on the conceptual advantages of barge-based FLNG, and in order to meet the quick-to-market requirements of the growing number of LNG import projects, EXMAR and PRE (acting through its affiliate Pacific Midstream Holding Corp.) ordered a 25,000 m³ Floating Storage & Regasification Unit (FSRU) in February 2014. The FSRU is being constructed by Wison Offshore & Marine (Wison) and is expected to be delivered to the 50/50 joint venture by mid-2016.
This unit will be the world's first mid-scale FSRU, suitable to target smaller as well as conventional gas markets as the storage size can be customized to specific project requirements by adding a floating storage unit ("FSU"). This modular approach allows for an easy expansion of the terminal storage capacity, in line with the commercial demand.
The marketing of the FSRU and meetings with prospective clients for long-term contracts are presently ongoing.
EXMAR's flexible barge-based regasification concept will further increase the competitiveness of LNG compared to other types of energy.
As EXMAR aims to grow its business activities by relying on its expertise in developing integrated logistical solutions for the gas industry, EXMAR continues to explore small-scale LNG shipping opportunities as these can provide a solution to the shipping requirements for the numerous LNG Infrastructure projects under development.
Besides small-scale LNG shipping, EXMAR also considers LNG bunkering as a strategic target market for the coming years, as supported by independent studies indicating that the LNG bunkering market has a worldwide potential. Following the strategic partnership with the Antwerp Port Authority, both partners have completed the technical studies and are further mapping commercial demand with the aim to optimally match the delivery of the vessel with the increase of interest in the market.
EXMAR is convinced that it is well positioned to leverage its long-standing LNG experience in the potential markets of small-scale LNG shipping and LNG bunkering.

The Offshore industry remains strong and activity levels are high, both in engineering and design services as well as in the project development area. Our offices in Antwerp, Houston and Paris continue to deliver high added-value services to our customers.
The OPTI-EX ® production semisubmersible has been operating steadily to the satisfaction of LLOG and its partners. Production has reached a monthly average threshold such that EXMAR now regularly receives a production-related fee from LLOG, however, this is subject to the normal production interruptions due to maintenance and LLOG's planned production increases from the addition of new wells. Building on the success of the OPTI-EX ®, LLOG has built the second unit of the series, Delta House, which is expected to be installed in the Gulf of Mexico during the third quarter of 2014. EXMAR has engineered and designed the hull and deck, and has supervised the hull construction in South Korea at Hyundai Heavy Industries Offshore yard. EXMAR has performed to the entire satisfaction of LLOG and has earned incentive payments in that regard. EXMAR's affiliate BEXCO has supplied the mooring ropes for Delta House. LLOG's portfolio is promising and we anticipate that further production units will be required in the future. We are confident that the concept of the OPTI-EX ® and, hence, its recognition by the market, will be further strengthened by the successful deployment and operations of Delta House in the very near future. In addition to LLOG, EXMAR has been engaging with several other US independent operators in the Gulf of Mexico for in-depth discussions on the benefits of the OPTI ® based production facility for the development of their offshore reserves.
The operating result (EBIT) of the first semester of the offshore activities amounted to USD 5.3 million.
The optimized motion performance of the OPTI ® hull design is also being applied for applications other than production. The excellent motion characteristics of the unit are attractive for other offshore segments and EXMAR is currently pursuing several prospects in the fields of drilling and accommodation.
In terms of project development, EXMAR has been actively pursuing opportunities in the Mexican area of the Gulf of Mexico. The country is in the process of reforming the laws ruling the energy market, and looking to allow foreign investors to enter the sector. EXMAR anticipates that this market will present various opportunities in the near-, medium- and long-term and we will continue to build EXMAR's reputation in this highly promising market. Projects in the pipeline include FPSO's, jack-up platforms and other floating assets where EXMAR's expertise can bring value to PEMEX, the country's national oil company. Beyond Mexico, EXMAR continues to follow other project opportunities, essentially in West Africa where our portfolio of accommodation barges is deployed.
NUNCE (Angola), KISSAMA (Cameroun) and OTTO 5 (Nigeria) are fully operational for the whole of 2014 and are operating successfully at the satisfaction of their charterers. KISSAMA will be deployed until December this year and the charterer currently is reviewing several options to continue the contract. In case this charterer chooses not to extend the contract, alternatives are being investigated.

The LPG fleet recorded an operational result (EBIT) of 35.4 million during the first six months of the year 2014, including the gain on the sale of the vessels Temse (USD 4.4 million), Eeklo (USD 8 million) and Fl. Tenacity (USD 10 million) (2013: EBIT of USD 55.8 million, including 100% contribution of the LPG fleet until 12th February 2013 at which time EXMAR finalized the creation of a strategic Joint-Venture, named EXMAR LPG, with Teekay LNG Partners).
EXMAR is a leading participant in the transportation of liquefied petroleum gas products. The fleet covers a wide scope of vessel sizes and containment systems (pressurized, semi-refrigerated and fully-refrigerated). It is trading worldwide for first-class customers active in the fertilizer, clean energy fuel and petrochemical industries. Cargo commitments are secured through a balanced mix of spot requirements, Contracts of Affreightment and time charters. All VLGC's and MGC's are owned and operated by EXMAR LPG (Joint-Venture EXMAR/ Teekay LNG Partners L.P.)
Over the past years, first semesters have typically shown volatility of VLGC spot rates, however over the first half of 2014, the peaks became noticeably higher, with results eventually remaining at historically high levels. The recent freight upturn has mainly been driven by the arbitrage between US and Asian product prices, in combinaton with increased availability of products out of the US Gulf as well as from other western loading areas. These factors played a major influence on volatility in the VLGC markets, due to a surge in generation of ton-miles. Consistent all time high spot levels have supported increased Time-Charter activity for medium-term to even long-term deals. Alongside these trends in the freight market, Sales & Purchases levels also contributed to these peaks with deals for readily available second-hand tonnage being signed at historically high levels. The Newbuilding sector has also followed suit, however at a slower pace compared to the massive order book of last year. The current VLGC order book counts as many as 80 VLGC's with 41 vessels to be delivered within the next 18 months, representing a fleet increase of 25% compared to the fleet capacity base at the end of 2015.
Over the course of the first semester of 2014, EXMAR concluded the sale of Flanders Tenacity (84,270 m³ – built 1996), with the transaction generating a capital gain of USD 10.2 million for EXMAR's share in EXMAR LPG. The announced sale of FLANDERS HARMONY (85,000 m3 – built 1993) did not materialize as expected in the second quarter of 2014, due to a default of the buyer. However the deposit for the sale of the vessel has been released in favour of EXMAR LPG and is reflected in the first semester results. In the meantime, a new buyer has been found for the vessel and she has been delivered to her new owner on 13 August 2014. The capital gain realized from the new sale (USD 9.3 million), will be recorded by EXMAR in the third quarter. BW Tokyo (83,000 m³ – built 2009) that has been under EXMAR's commercial control since May has been also fixed for a time charter with a first-class customer at rewarding terms.
Fleet coverage for the balance of 2014 is 100% of which 60% at fixed rate.
LPG
The MGC segment backed by a consistently firm VLGC but also LGC market, combined with limited vessel availability, remained firm during the first half of 2014. Whereas Indian LPG movements remain an important cornerstone, a high activity level in Atlantic Ocean and North Sea continues to offer a steady stream of employment opportunities for Midsized LPG Carriers. The order book for fully-refrigerated 24 – 40,000 m³ tonnage currently stands at 23 vessels, which represents about 30% of today's already existing segment's capacity on the water.
Waasmunster (38,000 m³ – built 2014), the first new build of a series of 12 vessels, has been delivered ex yard in April, while both the Eeklo (37,450 m³ – built 1995) and Temse (35,754 m³ – built 1994) have been sold in June and March 2014 respectively, with the transactions resulting into a capital gain of USD 12.5 million. EXMAR's delivery of a second new build within the first half of 2014, Warinsart (38,000 m³ – built 2014),
took place ex-yard in June. Next in line are Waregem and Warisoulx with deliveries from the yard expected early October 2014 and in February 2015 respectively.
During the course of the first semester, EXMAR LPG has been awarded a pair of Time-Charters from Statoil ASA for two 38,000 m³ (Midsize) LPG new builds and for a period of minimum 5 years up to maximum 10 years basis delivery within 2016. The performing vessels for this requirement are part of EXMAR's existing order book at Hanjin Subic Bay. At the same time, EXMAR LPG has been further extended with Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan the Time-Charters of LIBRAMONT (38,455 m³ – built 2006) and SOMBEKE (38,447 m³ – 2006 built) for a period of 10 years each.
Fleet coverage for the balance of 2014 is 91%.
The small pressurized markets have remained under pressure for most of the past six months, due to weak petrochemical demand and signs of overcapacity for the markets both East and West of Suez, while at the same time a series of new build vessels are due for entering the market in the coming months. Taking all of these factors in consideration, it might look like this negative trend is set to continue for the small pressurized vessel markets. Fleet utilisation for the balance of 2014 is 65%.

EXMAR Shipmanagement
EXMAR Shipmanagement manages a fleet of 14 LNG vessels, 19 LPG vessels, 5 commercial cruise vessels and 5 offshore units on behalf of EXMAR and third party customers.
The LPG fleet under management will expand in 2015 with 4 VLGC's that are currently under construction on behalf of Avance Gas. The pre-operations activities of EXMAR's Caribbean FLNG, are progressing in line with the project schedule. For EXMAR's FSRU under construction, the preoperations activities have been initiated as well.
Belgibo is an independent insurance broker and risk consultant, specializing in industrial, maritime and logistical risks and claims management.
Revenue, compared to the first semester of 2013, shows a significant increase. This growth confirms expectations and is a result of the positive effects of investments done in the previous years. Growth forecast, based on a healthy portfolio of recurrent clients, the wider service offering (employee benefits, credit insurances), the joint venture CMC-Belgibo and the business partnership with Jardine Lloyd Thompson, actually manifests itself most in a strong revenue growth of the Industry department.
Revenue of other departments (marine, transport, inland navigation) remains at the same level as last year.
The contribution of the Services activities (EXMAR SHIPMANAGEMENT, BELGIBO, TRAVEL PLUS) to the operating result (EBIT) amounts to USD -0.8 million while the operating result of the Holding activities amounted to USD 2.9 million.
Travel Plus offers a customised service for both private and business travel, for domestic and international clients.
This year, Travel Plus focusses on global automation, for ticketing as well as financial administration. In short, we are looking for solutions that will simplify the activities of the whole organisation and that will improve the service to our clients.
The sales figures and revenue of Travel Plus continue to show an upward trend. However, the number of options to book travel online is booming. This upward trend to us proves that the extra service Travel Plus offers, is what makes businesses requiring customised travel choose for Travel Plus.
The EXMAR share is listed on the NYSE Euronext Brussels and is part of the Bel Mid index (Euronext: EXM) since 23 June 2003. EXMAR's capital stands at USD 88,811,667 and is represented by 59,500,000 shares without nominal value.
EXMAR Netherlands BV (a 100% subsidiairy of EXMAR NV) has successfully raised a NOK 700 million unsecured bond in July 2014. The amount has been swapped to USD 114 million at an all-in rate of 5.72%. The proceeds of the bond will be used for the development of new LNG and Off shore infrastructure projects in the coming months.
The Company continues to structure actively a Master Limited Partnership to be listed in the USA before the end of the year.

EXMAR NV is a company domiciled in Belgium, whose shares are publicly traded (Euronext - EXM). The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of EXMAR NV for the six months ended 30 June 2014 comprise EXMAR NV and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") and the Group's interests in associates and joint arrangements. The Group is active in the industrial shipping business.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the EU. They do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2013, available on the website: www.exmar.be.
These condensed consolidated interim financial statements were approved by the board of directors on 28 August 2014.
The preparation of these condensed consolidated interim 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. The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies were the same as those applied to the consolidated financial statements as per 31 December 2013.
Except as described below, the accounting policies applied in these interim financial statements are the same as those applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013.
The Group has adopted the following new standards and amendments to standards, including any consequential amendments to other standards, with a date of initial application of 1 January 2014:
The nature and the effect of the changes are further explained below. In addition, the Group has applied a new depreciation policy for its LNG fleet, the economic life of the LNG vessels has been extended from 30 to 35 years. This change in accounting estimate is applied prospectively as of 1 January 2014, comparative figures are not restated and the depreciation cost is USD 1.9 million lower during the six months ended 30 June 2014. The impact of this change is reflected in the share in the result of equity accounted investees, net of tax.
There are no other significant changes in the accounting policies.
As a result of IFRS 11, the Group has changed its accounting policy for its interests in joint arrangements. Under IFRS 11, the Group classifies its interests in joint arrangements as joint ventures considering the Group's rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangements. When making this assessment, the Group considers the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangements and other facts and circumstances. Previously, the structure of the arrangement was the sole focus of classification. If the aggregate individual assets and liabilities of a joint venture that was previously proportionately consolidated, result in a negative net asset, a corresponding liability is recognized. This change in accounting policy was accounted for retrospectively and comparative information has been restated.
(In thousands of USD)
The Company is required to apply IFRS 11 as from January 1, 2014. This standard requires the Company to consolidate all joint ventures using the equity method instead of the proportionate method as applied in prior years. Under the proportionate method, the Company presented its interest in the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of each joint venture under the respective lines of the primary financial statements. Under the equity method, the net contribution of all assets and liabilities of each joint venture is presented under 'investments in equity accounted investees' and the net contribution in the income and expenses of each joint venture is presented under 'share in the result of equity accounted investees'. The Company conducts a significant part of its business through joint ventures and consequently the adoption of IFRS 11 has a significant impact on the presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the company.
We refer to note 33 'Group entities' of the Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2013 for an overview of the Joint Ventures that were previously consolidated using the proportionate method.
The following tables summarise the material impacts resulting from the above changes in accounting policies on the Group's financial position and comprehensive income.

Financial instruments include a broad range of financial assets and liabilities. They include both primary financial instruments such as cash, receivables, debt and shares in another entity and derivative financial instruments. They are measured either at fair value or at amortized cost.
Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled between knowledgeable, willing parties in an at arm's length transaction. All derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position.
The fair values of financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value are presented by class in the table below. The Group aggregates its financial instruments into classes based on their nature and characteristics.

The long-term vision that is typical of EXMAR's activities is accompanied by long-term financing and therefore also exposure to underlying rates of interest. EXMAR actively manages this exposure by means of various instruments to cover rising interest rates for a significant part of its debt portfolio.

There were no significant changes in risks and uncertainties compared to the risks and uncertainties as described in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2013.

The board of directors, represented by Nicolas Saverys and Patrick De Brabandere, and the executive committee, represented by Nicolas Saverys and Miguel de Potter, hereby confirm that, to the best of their knowledge, the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2014, which has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union, give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position
and profit or loss of the company and the undertakings included in the consolidation as a whole, and that the interim management report includes a fair overview of the important events that have occurred during the first six months of the financial year and of the major transactions with the related parties, and their impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements, together with a description of the principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the financial year.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of financial position of Exmar NV as at June 30, 2014, the condensed consolidated income statement and statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the six month period then ended, and notes to the interim financial information ("the condensed consolidated interim financial information"). The board of directors is responsible for the preparation and presentation of this condensed consolidated interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this condensed consolidated interim financial information based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than
an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial information as at June 30, 2014 and for the six month period then ended is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union.
