Financial Summary:Consolidated Income Statement

Note 1: The decrease in profit after tax was because FSL Trust was capitalised solely by equity at its IPO. As new vesselsare acquired and financed 100% by debt, the net profit of FSL Trust will fall as the interest expense and depreciationcharges of the acquired vessels exceed the lease rentals.
