1) Operating result : Earnings before tax, restructuring costs and acquisition effects.
Earnings for the quarter were unsatisfactory. In the Offshore/Icebreaking business area, the market is still characterized by low rates, a weak offshore spot market in the North Sea and two vessels that were not fully utilized during the period, due to upgrade work at the shipyard and preparation for new assignments, respectively. In the Industrial Shipping business area, demand and the market situation in the various segments displayed differing tendencies.
In the Industrial Shipping business area, demand for bulk and small bulk traffic weakened during the quarter, while traffic in the RoRo and container units remained largely unchanged. Many segments are experiencing a significant tonnage surplus, which has meant that freight rates have been kept at relatively low levels. Earnings for the period were unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, we can state that the trend in the Industrial Shipping business area has been positively turned around and we can present a result before tax of SEK 0 M for the quarter. By way of comparison, the result for the year-earlier period corresponded to SEK -18 M. We achieved this by implementing cost savings and capitalizing on the recovery in the Swedish export industry, particularly in transport volumes in the Container and RoRo Baltic Divisions.
Earnings in the Offshore/Icebreaking business area were impacted by low rates in the spot market in the North Sea, a low degree of utilization and two vessels that were not fully utilized during the period, due to upgrade work at the shipyard and preparation for new assignments, respectively. At the end of July, the third of a series of four AHTS vessels, Magne Viking, was delivered. The vessel will operate on the offshore spot market in the North Sea.
An Extraordinary General Meeting is planned for the third quarter at which the Board's proposal on a new share issue of SEK 500 M will be discussed. The aim of the issue is to ensure freedom of action for both of the operations in the ongoing restructuring process and to finance a potential acquisition the British offshore company SBS Marine, which operates a fleet of five modern and one older PSV vessels.
The previously announced process of the spin-off of the Group is progressing according to plan. The aim is to distribute Trans Viking Offshore A/S to the shareholders and list the company on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 2012. Following the spin-off, Rederi AB TransAtlantic will comprise the Industrial Shipping business area and remain listed on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm.
Trans Viking's operations and head office will be relocated to Copenhagen and we believe that this relocation will have been completed and the new organization will be fully in place by year-end. In addition, the Board has decided to relocate the Group's head office from Skärhamn to Gothenburg, which we expect to be completed by year-end. In conjunction with the acquisition of the shipping and logistics company Österströms at the beginning of June, extensive work was initiated on integrating and developing the company to coordinate a number of functions in the new organization.
Skärhamn August 4, 2011 Rolf Skaarberg President and CEO
Consolidated net revenues amounted to SEK 1,239 M (1,161). The increase in revenues is primarily attributable to the inclusion of the Österströms Group in the financial statements from June 8, 2011.
For the first six months, the Group result was SEK -105 M (41). The result before taxes amounted to SEK -138 M (-115).

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period amounted to SEK 523 M (637 as of December 31, 2010). In addition, the Group has credit facilities in the form of unutilized overdraft facilities of SEK 21 M (24 as of December 31, 2010). Of the SEK 523 M in cach and cash equivalents, SEK 321 M is reserved in an escrow account to secure the Group's cash commitment on the deliveries of two AHTS-vessels, of which the third, Magne Viking, was delivered at the end of July and the last vessel of a series of four is expected to be delivered at year-end 2011/2012. The low access to cash and cash equivalents restricts the Group's freedom of action.
At the end of June 30, the Group's shareholders equity was SEK 2,341 M (corresponding to SEK 42.2 per share), of which non-controlling interests in shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 20 M, corresponding to SEK 0.4 per share. At the quarter, utilized credit facilities amounted to SEK 91 M (76 as of December 31, 2010). Cash flow from investing activities for the quarter totaling SEK 285 M, largely comprises proceeds from sales of vessels of SEK 315 M.
The equity/asset ratio at the end of the period was 43.9% (46.6 of December 31, 2010). Gross investments during the first six months amounted to SEK 458 M (178). These investments primarily pertained to cash payment for the delivery of Njord Viking in February and the acquisition of the Österströms Group and Arctic Ice Management AB.

The business area's vessels conduct operations for Arctic offshore, the offshore spot markets in the North Sea and in the global offshore sector. The fleet comprises seven offshore vessels and one new building contract with delivery at year-end. The vessels are equipped for and have the capacity to operate in Arctic areas.
Earnings for the quarter were adversely impacted by continued low rates in the spot market in the North Sea and a low degree of utilization for certain vessels. The planned upgrade of Njord Viking and clearance inwards of Odin Viking to Brazil has meant that the vessels were not fully utilized during the period and lost revenues for the two vessels is estimated at approximately SEK 14 M. Spot rates for the quarter varied between GBP 10,000 and GBP 50,000 per day.
The AHTS vessels Tor Viking and Vidar Viking operated on the offshore spot market in the North Sea in the second quarter. A surplus of AHTS vessels in the North Sea remains, but larger vessels have now left the area to conduct assignment elsewhere, resulting in an increase in rates.
At the beginning of May, Balder Viking departed on a 120-day charter assignment for Cairn Energy in Baffin Bay off the coast of Greenland at satisfactory rates. Balder Viking will carry out ice management assignments in addition to its usual supply services. The vessel is expected to return to the spot market in November.
Odin Viking completed a 15-month contract for Norskan (OGX) off the coast of Brazil and will continue to operate in the Brazilian offshore market. A new contract was signed with Shell commencing on July 1. The assignment extends over a two-month period with an additional extension option.
During the quarter, Njord Viking underwent major upgrades at the Landskrona shipyard. The vessel was equipped with a ROV hangar, LARS system and the ROV required for the charter assignment for ENI Norway that will commence in the Barents Sea at the end of July. The contract period is four years at a total value of NOK 430 M. In the interim, Njord Viking operated on the offshore spot market in the North Sea.
Loke Viking remains chartered for Statoil and the contract is valid until mid-August 2011 with the option of an additional five months.
Magne Viking was delivered at the end of July and will operate on the offshore spot market in the North Sea. The last vessel of four new builds is expected to be delivered at year-end 2011/2012. All of the shares in Arctic Ice Management AB were acquired at the end of February. The company possesses ice management technology and expertise.

The business area conducts systems traffic in the Baltic Sea using RoRo and container vessels, (RoRo Baltic Division), container bases scheduled service operations between Sweden and the UK (Container Division), contract based bulk transport in the Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea and North Sea as well as RoRo services across the Atlantic and with side port vessels traffic along the US east cost, USEC (Bulk Division) and contracted small bulk traffic in the Baltic Sea (ShortSea Bulk Division).
The shipping and logistics company Österströms was acquired as part of the initiative to develop the business area. The transaction was completed on June 8. Österströms supplements the business area with its ShortSea bulk operations and integrated logistics services. The aim of the acquisition is to increase the service offering and volumes and to increase the fleet's degree of utilization and thus enhance profitability.
The RoRo‐Baltic Division conducts scheduled services between Finland and Sweden/Germany/Belgium on three RoRo routes and a container line. During the quarter, volumes remained stable and traffic in the northern part of the Gulf of Bothnia had a high utilization degree despite a short strike held at Finnish paper mills in May. A three-year transportation agreement was signed with StoraEnso during the quarter for the transportation of paper from northern Finland to Germany, Sweden and Belgium. For this reason, a new RoRo route between northern Finland and Antwerp/Zeebrugge using two chartered vessels was launched on June 1. The commercial and operational responsibility for the TransLumi Line will be taken over from StoraEnso, which previously operated the route, on September 1. As a result of the agreement above, RoRo traffic between Kotka and Lubeck (TransSuomi Line) ceased at the end of May. The division developed positively and recorded a better result compared with the year-earlier period.
The Container Division conducts container-based scheduled service in the UK, TransPal Line, and feeder traffic, TransFeeder South. TransPal Line expanded its fleet by one vessel during the second quarter and increased the number of departures to three a week. This led to a relatively sharp increase in volumes but at slightly lower average cargo. Export volumes in the steel industry were slightly lower compared with the preceding year but import volumes remained strong. Container volumes displayed a strong trend during the second quarter. The planned relocation of the terminal from Goole in the UK to the new terminal in Hull will take place in the autumn. The new terminal in Hull is not dependent on the tides, which will provide significant operational advantages. In TransFeeder South, the high volume levels for the year with an excellent balance in traffic continued into the second quarter and larger tonnage was introduced, providing scope for continued expansion. The division achieved a better result compared with the preceding year.
The market for both the Bulk Division and ShortSea Bulk Division, which also include the Österströms operations from June 8, 2011, weakened after the winter's somewhat stronger spot market and favorable cargo flows. The market for larger bulk tonnage of westbound volumes remained subject to intense price pressure due to the low volumes compared with the tonnage supply. The continued high order intake from heavy industry will probably entail a better flow balance. Westbound traffic for magazine paper for Atlantic traffic posted improved earnings since volumes from Norske Skog picked up following the fire at a factory. Deliveries of newsprint from Canada to northern Europe continued to increase during the quarter, which led to a maintained high utilization degree. Newsprint volumes from Canada to the USEC also continued to display a positive trend, whereas traffic from Canada to the Caribbean declined due to falling volumes. The vessel Map, which had been laid up for some time, was divested during the quarter. The trend in the divisions remains negative, particularly in the bulk segment.

The Group organization comprises management, central administration, finance management and Ship Management. In addition to the TransAtlantic fleet, the Ship Management unit also includes assignments for external vessel owners, such as manning for the Swedish Government's five icebreakers. The decline in net sales, compared with the year-earlier period, is attributable to the external Ship Management assignment for Atlantic Container Line, which ceased in December 2010.
The decline in the operating results is attributable to higher costs in central financial administration in the form of loan expenses, mainly due to higher borrowing.

The Parent Company's result before tax for the period amounted to SEK 187 M (-131). Result after tax amounted to SEK 208 M (-104). The year-on-year earnings improvement was attributable to capital gains from the divestment of the owner-companies of the vessels Obbola, Östrand and Ortviken.
The Parent Company's shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 1,333 M (1,125 at December 31, 2010), total assets amounted to SEK 2,019 M (2,173 at December 31, 2010). The equity/assets ratio on the balance-sheet date was 66% (52 at December 31, 2010). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the period was SEK 33 M (31 at December 31, 2010).

The general situation for the Group's current structure is that taxes payable are highly limited. Accordingly, recognized corporate tax mainly comprises deferred tax.
The recognized net deferred tax asset for the Swedish operations amounted to SEK 101 M at the end of June 2011 (40 at December 31, 2010).
The recognized deferred tax liability for the operations outside Sweden amounted to SEK 43 M at the end of June 2011 (-43 at December 31, 2010).
From June 1, 2011, TransAtlantic procured a loan of NOK 150 M from Kistefos AS. The loan, which extends to December 31, 2011, has a variable interest rates of approximately 8%. In addition, Kistefos AS has provided consulting services amounting to SEK 2,5 M for the period. There were no other significant transactions.
TransAtlantic is a Group characterized by a high degree of international operations, thereby being exposing to a number of operational and financial risks. TransAtlantic works actively to identify, assess and manage these risks. Risk management is included as an element of the ongoing reviews of the operations. It has been deemed that no further key risks and uncertainties have arisen in addition to those risks and uncertainties described on pages 54-55 in TransAtlantic's 2010 Annual Report.
The ongoing new build's program involves payments in cash and cash equivalents in conjunction with vessel deliveries. To secure these obligations, the Group has reserved funds, pursuant to the renegotiated loan agreement, in an escrow account totaling SEK 321 M. This has been recognized together with other cash and cash equivalents.
TransAtlantic has continued the discussion pertaining to possible compensation to one of the banks' right to receive retroactive compensation in the form of increased security because the Group failed to achieve the financial covenants at the level specified in the loan agreement.
This interim report was prepared, for the Group, in accordance with the application of IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and applicable rules in the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and for the parent Company, in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting for Legal Entities.

| Österströms International AB | 2011-06-08 | 100% | 100 | Sverige Industrial Shipping |
An agreement was signed at the end of February to acquire all shares in Arctic Ice Management AB. The company possesses technology and expertise on ice management. The purchase consideration for the shares in Arctic Ice Management totaled SEK 14 M, of which SEK 4 M has been paid to date. The Group has only minor transaction expenses in connection with this acquisition. Net sales and the loss from the acquisition date amounted to between SEK 0 and SEK 1 M. If the acquired company had been wholly owned from the beginning of the year, the Group's net sales would have been SEK 0 M higher, and the consolidated income would have been SEK 0 M lower.
The acquisition of all the shares in Österströms International AB was concluded in June 2011. Österströms is the Parent Company in the Stockholm-based shipping and logistics group that conducts operations primarily in the Baltic Sea area. The purchase consideration comprised a fixed portion, SEK 40 M, and a variable portion amounting to SEK 0-40 M. The variable portion is based on the achievement of the profitability target for the 2012-2013 year in the Industrial Shipping business area. At the time of acquisition, the total purchase consideration was calculated at SEK 47 M, of which SEK 40 M was paid on the hand-over date. Any supplementary purchase consideration will be paid in 2014. Goodwill is attributable to the income improvement the company, in cooperation with TransAtlantic's current Baltic Sea effort, is anticipated to generate. Transaction expenses of SEK 3 M in connection with the acquisition will be charged against the Group's profit for the first half of 2011. Income pertaining to the acquired shares has been included in the consolidated profit and loss from the acquisition date. Net sales and income from the acquisition date amounted to SEK 64 and -3 M, respectively. If the acquired operation had been wholly owned from the beginning of the year, the Group's net sales would have been SEK 420 M higher, and the consolidated result would have been SEK 22 M higher. The preparation of the final acquisition analysis has not yet been completed, but is expected to be finalized in the third quarter.
