NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. General information

Gasum Oy is a Finnish limited liability company and the parent company of Gasum Group (“Gasum”, the “Group” or the “Company”, unless otherwise stated) domiciled in Espoo at registered address Miestentie 1, PO Box 21, 02151 Espoo.

Established in 1994, Gasum is a Finnish company excelling in natural energy gas solutions. The Company imports natural gas to Finland and transmits and supplies it for energy production, industry, households and transportation.

Gasum is an active developer of the Finnish biogas sector. Natural gas and biogas are natural energy gases that provide the Finnish energy sector with considerable advantages as they are efficient, environmentally friendly and local. The Company is the leading supplier of biogas in Finland. In 2013 a total of 33 TWh of natural gas was imported to Finland. Gasum launched several studies concerning the development of biogas production and the utilization of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a marine fuel in Baltic Sea shipping. Copies of the consolidated financial statements are available at Gasum’s head office at Miestentie 1, 01250 Espoo and at the Company’s home pages www.gasum.com.

The Board of Directors of Gasum Oy has approved these consolidated financial statements for issue on 25th of June,

2014.

2. Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of preparation

Gasum´s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union, conforming with the IAS and IFRS standards as well as SIC- and IFRIC interpretations applicable as at December 31, 2013. The International Financial Reporting Standards refer to the

standards and associated interpretations in the Finnish Accounting Act and in regulations issued under it that are approved by the EU for application in accordance with the procedure laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1606/2002. The notes to the consolidated financial statements are also in accordance with the requirements of the Finnish accounting and corporate legislation supplementing the IFRS rules.

Gasum publishes the first consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS standards for the financial period ended December 31, 2013 with comparative information for the financial period ended December 31, 2012. Gasum applies in these consolidated financial statements IFRS 1 First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards with the date of transition January 1, 2012. Gasum has previously applied Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

The impacts arising from first-time adoption of the IFRS standards are presented in reconciliations included in the note

3 to the consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared primarily under the historical cost convention unless otherwise indicated. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss have been revalued at

fair value.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of euros unless otherwise stated.

New and amended standards and interpretations adopted

Gasum has adopted the following new, revised and amended standards and interpretations and applies them for all financial periods included in its first consolidated IFRS financial statements.


9

IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures (amended). This amendment includes new disclosures to enhance the presentation of financial assets and financial liabilities and when those can be offset.

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement. The standard provides a precise definition of fair value for use across all IFRS

standards and a single source of fair value measurement. The standard extended the notes information required to be

presented in connection with fair value measurement.

IAS 19 Employee Benefits (revised). As a consequence of the revision to the standard the option to apply corridor method for recognizing actuarial gains and losses on defined benefit employee plans was discontinued. According to the revised standard actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately and in full in the statement of comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and they will not be reclassified to profit and loss in subsequent periods. Interest cost and expected return on plan assets have been replaced with a net interest amount on the net defined benefit liability (asset), which is recognized in profit or loss and presented within the employee

benefit costs.

IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements (amended). Gasum has grouped items presented in other comprehensive income in accordance with the amended standard on the basis whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently.

Improvements to IFRS standards. Minor and less urgent improvements into standards are effected through the Annual

Improvements – procedure collecting changes together annually. Items included in the Annual Improvements relate to

five standards.

Other changes into IFRS standards enforced during Gasum’s first period of reporting under IFRS have not had material effect on the Group’s consolidated income statement, balance sheet of presentation of the financial statements.

Early adoption of standards not yet effective

Gasum has adopted in these first consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRS the following standards which are not yet effective but for which early adoption is allowed

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 27 Separate Financial Statements (amended). The new IFRS 10 standard replaces sections concerning preparation of consolidated financial statements in the current IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements standard. The amended standard brings changes to the concept of

control and may in certain cases change earlier principle of including or not including an entity in the consolidation for group purposes.

IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IAS 28 Investment in Associates and Joint Ventures (amended). New IFRS 11 standard will replace current IAS 31 Interests in Joint Ventures –standard. In connection with setting of the new standard also IAS 28 standard is amended to align the accounting for both associates and joint ventures under the equity method.

IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities (amended). The new standard combines the disclosure requirements for consolidated financial statements under one standard and sets out new notes requirements for example for entities

containing non-controlling interests.

Consolidation principles

Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all such entities over which the Group has control. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are deconsolidated from the date that control ceases.


10

The Group applies the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and

contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. The Group recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree on an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the recognized amounts of acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

If the business acquisition is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date and any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognized in accordance with IAS 39 either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted within equity.

The excess of the consideration transferred the fair value amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net

assets acquired is recognized as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, the fair value of non-controlling interest recognized and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly in the profit and loss.

Inter-company transactions, receivables and liabilities as well as unrealized gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated. When needed, the financial statements by subsidiaries have been adjusted to conform to the Group’s accounting policies.

Transactions with non-controlling interests that do not result in loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions

– that is, as transactions with the owners in the capacity as owners. The difference between fair value of any consideration paid and the relevant share acquired of the carrying value of net assets of the subsidiary is recorded in equity. Gains and losses on disposals to non-controlling interests are also recorded in equity.

When the Group ceases to have control any retained interest in the entity is re-measured to its fair value at the date when control is lost, with the change in carrying amount recognized in profit or loss. The fair value is the initial carrying amount for the purposes of subsequently accounting for the retained interest as an associate, joint venture

or financial asset. In addition, any amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in respect of that

entity are accounted for as if the Group had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. This may mean that amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss.

Joint arrangements

Under IFRS 11 investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending

on the contractual rights and obligations of each investor. Joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, interests in joint ventures are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses and movements in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interests in the joint venture (which includes any long-term interest that, in substance, forms part of the Group’s net investment in the joint venture), the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint ventures.

Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s

interest in the joint ventures. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of the joint ventures have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Foreign currency items

Items included in the financial statements of the each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in euros, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.


11

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at reporting dates. Non-monetary items are translated at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions in foreign currencies

and translation of monetary items are recognized in the income statement. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business are included in respective items above operating profit. Translation differences related to financial items are recognized in financial income and expense.

The functional currency in all group companies is euro.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets comprise of intangible rights and other long-term expenditures. Intangible rights comprise primarily of patents and licenses. Other long-term expenditures include mainly compensation allowances for land owners for redeeming a long-term property usage right for the accommodation of the transmission pipelines and measurement stations as well as for other limitations on the property usage arising from the transmission pipelines.

Intangible assets are initially recognized in the balance sheet at historical cost if the cost can be measured reliably and it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Group.

Amortizations are calculated along straight-line method over their useful economic lives. The compensation allowances for land owners are not amortized. The applied useful economic lives are:

2013 2012

Patents and licences 3–5 years 3–5 years *

Compensation allowances to the land owners are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite useful life. They are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment.

The assets’ residual values and useful lives and amortization method are reviewed at minimum at the end of each reporting period and adjusted, if appropriate, to reflect changes in the expected economic benefits. The amortization of intangible assets is commenced when the asset is ready for its intended use.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets comprise primarily of the transmission and distribution networks for natural gas as well as related

installations and buildings as well as other machinery and equipment. Tangible assets are recognized at historical cost less depreciation and impairment charges. The cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the tangible asset. The cost for self-constructed assets include material costs, directly attributable employee benefit costs and other directly attributed costs arising from constructing the asset ready for its intended use. The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying tangible asset are capitalized as part of the asset’s acquisition cost. In addition, the cost includes any estimated costs arising from

obligations to dismantle, remove and restore the items of property, plant and equipment.

In case the tangible asset comprises of multiple assets with different useful lives each asset is accounted and measured as separate component. Any replacement costs are capitalized and remaining value in the balance sheet at the date of replacement is written off.

Subsequent costs arising from additions, replacement or maintenance of the asset, are included in the tangible asset’s carrying amount only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Maintenance costs, meaning repair and overhaul costs are charged

to the income statement when incurred. Government grants received have been recognized as deductions to the acquisition cost.


12

Assets are depreciated straight-line over their estimated useful lives. Land and water areas are not depreciated. The estimated useful lives are:

Buildings and constructions 15–65 years* 15–65 years*

Other tangible assets 20–40 years 20–40 years

Machinery and equipment 3–25 years 3–25 years

* Not applicable to the cushion gas accounted for as a tangible asset which is depreciated only when the expected residual value is lower than the acquisition cost or carrying value at reporting date. Cushion gas implies the lowest quantity of gas required for the flawless function of the gas transmission.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period and adjusted, when necessary, to reflect changes in expected economic benefits. Depreciations are commenced when the asset is ready for its intended use.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date if there exist any indications that the value of any asset may be impaired. If any such indications exist the recoverable amount of respective asset is assessed.

Tangible and intangible assets with finite useful lives are tested for impairment only when indications exist that their carrying value may be impaired.

Recoverable amount is additionally assessed for the following asset classes regardless whether indications of

impairment exist: intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets in process.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. Value in use refers to the expected future net cash flows derived from the asset or cash generating unit in question that have been discounted to net present value. Discount factor is the pre-tax interest rate reflecting market view of the time value of money and any specific risks related to the asset.

An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment is expensed immediately in the profit and loss. The useful life of a asset is reviewed in connection with

recognition of impairment losses. Prior impairments of non-financial assets, other than goodwill, are reversed in case there has been a change in the estimates used for assessing the recoverable amount. Impairments are, however, not

reversed in excess of the carrying value of the asset excluding the impact of the impairment.

Leasing contracts in which the Group is lessee

Leases of tangible assets in which the significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the

Group are classified as financial leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. Periodic lease payments are allocated between the finance expenses and reduction in the leasing liability to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period. Variable leases are recognized as expenses during the periods they are incurred. Leasing liabilities for finance leases are included within financial

liabilities.

Leases in which the significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are accounted for as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Incentives received are deducted from operating lease payments over the period of

obtained benefits from the use of leased asset.


13

When a lease includes both land and property components, the classification into finance or operating lease is made individually for each of the component.

Leasing contracts in which the Group is lessor

Assets leased by the Group where the significant portion of risks and rewards have been materially transferred to the lessee are accounted for as finance leases and recognized in the balance sheet in receivables. The receivable is initially recognized at the present value of the lease contract. The financial income included in the lease is recognized over the lease period so as to produce a constant rate of return over the lease period on the remaining net investment.

Assets leased under other leases than finance lease are included in the tangible assets. The assets are depreciated

over their useful lives similarly to tangible assets held for own use.

Leasing income is recognized in the profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.

Arrangements which may contain a lease

At the outset of the arrangement the Group assesses on the basis of the substance of the contract whether the arrangement is a lease or whether it contains a lease. The arrangement is a leasing contract if the following criteria

are met:

a) execution of the arrangement is dependent on utilization of a specific asset or asset group, and

b) the arrangement establishes a right to use the asset.

In case the arrangement contains a lease, the basis of preparation described above is applied in respect to the lease component. Relevant IFRS standards are applied to other components of the arrangement.

Inventories

Inventories are stated the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the FIFO (first in, first out) method. The cost excludes borrowing costs. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less applicable variable selling expenses.

Inventories include also the prepayments made under a long-term ”Take-or-pay” supply contract that is stated at lower of cost and net realizable value. See also note 4 Significant accounting estimates and judgmental items and

note 23 Inventories.

Trade receivables

Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for goods sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets. Trade receivables are recognized

initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.


14

Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value through profit or loss, loans and receivables and available-for-sale investments. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial assets were acquired and classification is determined at acquisition date.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. A financial asset is classified into this category if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short term. The Group acquires derivatives for the purposes of trading. Assets in this category are classified as current assets, unless matured over 12 months after the end of the reporting period.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, expect for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of

the reporting period in which case they are classified as non-current assets. Group’s loans and receivables also include items ‘trade and other receivables’ and ‘cash and cash equivalents’ within the balance sheet.

Available-for-sale investments

Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are non-current assets unless the investment matures or management intends to dispose of it within 12 months from the end of the reporting period. Group’s investments are included in this category and they are presented in ‘other receivables’ in the balance sheet.

Recognition and measurement

Transaction costs are included in the original book value for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value, and transactions costs are expensed in the income statement. Investments in financial assets which are not carried at fair

value through profit or loss are initially recognized to an amount including transaction costs. All purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade-date, being the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset.

Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

Dividend income from financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is recognized in the profit and loss as part of other finance income when the Group’s right to receive payments is established.

The fair value adjustments of available-for-sale financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income. When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold or impaired the accumulated fair value adjustments recognized in equity are included in the income statement as ‘other operating income’ or ‘other operating expenses’.

Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Cash and cash equivalents

In the consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents includes cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less and bank overdrafts. In the consolidated balance sheet, bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings under current liabilities.


15

Impairment of financial assets – Assets carried at amortized cost

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or

group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses

are incurred only if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a “loss event”) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtor or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observable data indicate that there is a measurable decrease

in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For loans and receivables category, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement. If a loan or held-to-maturity investment has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective

interest rate determined under the contract. As a practical expedient, the Group may measure impairment on the basis of an instruments fair value using an observable market price.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized (such as improvement in the debtor’s credit rating), the reversal of the previously recognized impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement.

Impairment of financial assets – Assets classified as available-for-sale

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. For debt securities, the Group uses the criteria referred to above. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the security below its cost is also evidence that the assets are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss, is removed from equity and

recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognized in the consolidated income statement on equity instruments are not reversed through the consolidated income statement.

Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortized cost. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is

recognized in the income statement over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date of a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. The method of recognizing the resulting gain or loss from re-measurement at fair value depends on the designation of the derivative contract. The derivatives used by the group

are highly effective in accordance with the approved risk management policy but hedge accounting is not applied. Therefore unrealized gains and losses from changes in the fair value of derivative contracts is recorded in the profit and loss at the end of each reporting period.

All derivate contracts are classified as financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and the gains or losses resulting from movement in their fair values is presented under item “other operating expense (-)/income” in the income statement in respect of commodity derivatives and under financial income or expense in respect of interest derivatives in the period incurred.


16

Equity

The Group classifies equity instruments on the basis of their nature into either equity or financial liabilities. An equity

instrument is any contract which contains the right to the entity’s assets after deducting all its liabilities. Transaction

costs directly attributable to the issue or redemption of shares are a shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

Dividend distribution proposed by the Board of Directors is not deducted from the distributable equity prior to the approval of the Company’s ordinary shareholder meeting.

Trade payables

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade payables are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

Provisions and contingent liabilities

Provisions for environmental restoration, asset retirement obligations, restructuring costs and legal claims are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefit will be required to settle the obligation; and ta reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.

Post-employment benefits

The Group operates various post-employment schemes, including both defined benefit and defined contribution schemes. Pension arrangements are managed through external pension and life insurance companies.

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity (fund) and the Group retains no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they are due. Prepaid contributions are recognized

as an asset to the extent that a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments is available. Statutory pension

contributions are expensed in the year they are incurred. Pension schemes other than defined contribution plans are defined benefit plans.

Typically defined benefit plans define an amount of pension benefit that an employee will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at

the end of the reporting period less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension obligation. In countries where there is no deep market in such bonds, the market rates on government bonds are used. Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustment and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged or credited to equity in other comprehensive income in the period in which they

arise. Past service costs are recognized immediately in statement of income.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received for good supplied and services rendered stated net of indirect taxes and discounts. The Group recognizes revenue when the amount of revenue can be reliably measured and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity. Revenue includes the volume

based excise tax payable on natural gas supplied for taxable use.


17

Sales of energy

The sales of energy are recognized constantly upon delivery based on quantities as indicated by meters operated by

Gasum and at valid tariffs applicable (“Maakaasun hinnoittelujärjestelmä”).

Participation and connection fees

Gasum’s clients pay participation and connection fees when linked to the transmission and distribution network. Participation fees are recognized to revenue over the expected life of the client contract based on Gasum’s accumulated experience. Connection fees are recognized to revenue when there is reasonable certainty that the

related economic benefits will flow to Gasum.

Transmission services

Gasum is a dedicated owner of the transmission network as defined by the Natural gas market act and liable for the maintenance and development of the transmission network. Transmission services mean the transmission of bulk natural gas by Gasum Oy falling under the definition of rendering the services. Revenue from transmission services

are recognized to revenue on a straight-line basis over a specified period as the transmission services flow to the customers on a continuous basis.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are expensed in the period they are incurred.

Current and deferred income tax

The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in the income statement, expect to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly to equity. In this case, the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted at the balance sheet date. Tax receivable and liability related to the taxes for the period are netted if and only when the Group has legally enforceable right to offset the tax items

and the Group will either effect the tax payment on net basis or realize the tax receivable and pay the tax liability simultaneously.

Deferred income tax is recognized on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and

their carrying amounts. Deferred tax liabilities are not recognized if they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for investments made in subsidiaries and joint arrangements, expect

when the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Major taxable temporary differences in the Group arise from the depreciation of tangible assets, from the fair valuation of derivative contracts and defined benefit pension plans.

Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet dates.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be

available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. Deferred income tax asset is not recognized if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable income. The Group assesses the recognition criteria of deferred income tax assets respectively at the end of each reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset in the Group if and only when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred income tax asset and liabilities relate

to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to set off deferred income tax assets and liabilities or realize the tax receivable and pay


18

the tax liability simultaneously on such future period during which a significant amount of deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be paid or a significant amount of deferred income tax assets are expected to be deducted.

Dividends

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive the payment is established. Dividend distribution proposed by the Board of Directors is not deducted from the distributable equity prior to the approval of company’s ordinary shareholder meeting.

Government grants

Government grants are recognized at their fair value where there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and the Group will comply with all attached conditions. Government grants related to costs are deferred and recognized into other operating income in the income statement over the period necessary to match them with the costs that they are intended to compensate. Government grants relating to the acquisition of tangible assets are deducted from the cost of the asset and recognized in the income statement by deducting depreciation for the respective asset.

3. First-time adoption of IFRS -standards

General

Tangible assets

Participation fees

The participation fees paid by clients in connection with their access to the distribution network have been deducted

from the cost of buildings and constructions (gas transmission network) in the financial statements prepared under FAS. As the accounting treatment under FAS is not in line with the definition of cost as set out in IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment the carrying value of buildings and constructions in the opening balance sheet is adjusted. The

participation fees are adjusted to Gasum’s revenue. Gasum has also assessed the useful life of the transmission network in connection of the transition to IFRS and extended the useful life from 40 to 65 years (see next paragraph). The combined effect arising from previous adjustments on the carrying value of buildings and constructions in the

opening balance sheet is €42.9 million pre-tax and the increase in the retained earnings is respectively €32.3 million. The participation fees netted in the value of buildings and constructions subsequently have been adjusted accordingly since the date of transition to IFRS.


24

The participation fees are recognized to revenue over the expected life of the client contract based on Gasum’s accumulated experience. The pre-tax adjustment for deferred revenue in the opening balance sheet is €17.1 million and related post-tax reduction in the retained earnings is €12.9 million.

Useful life of the transmission network

Gasum has assessed the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets in connection with its transition to IFRS and changes retrospectively the useful life of transmission network built subsequent to year 2000 from 40 years to 65 years. The basis for the extension of the useful life is technical development enabling longer utilization of the transmission pipeline whereas the earlier depreciation period applied in the FAS was driven by tax regulations. The accumulated depreciation of the transmission network has been reduced by €5.9 million in the opening balance sheet

and post-tax adjustment to the retained earnings of Gasum amounts to €4.4 million, respectively. During both financial periods ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 the annual depreciation of transmission network has been reduced by €2.3 million, respectively.

Financial instruments

Unrealized gains or losses arising from commodity and interest rate derivatives have not been recognized in FAS for

the periods ended December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2012. For the financial period ended December 31, 2013 Gasum has recognized the unrealized losses from interest derivatives based on principle of prudence but has not

recognized unrealized gains. Furthermore, under FAS Gasum has accrued the realized gains and losses from derivative instruments for future periods.

The fair value of all derivative contracts in the opening IFRS balance sheet is recognized in equity, net of deferred taxes. The derivative financial instruments in non-current and current assets amount to €6.4 million and the

derivative financial instruments in non-current liabilities amount to €1.4 million.

The impact of fair value changes of interest derivatives recognized in finance expenses amounted to €0.2 million for the financial period ended December 31, 2012 and respectively €0.6 million in financial income for the financial period ended December 31, 2013. Fair value movements of commodity derivatives recognized in other operating expenses amounted to €6.6 million for the financial period ended December 31, 2012 and respectively €4.3 million for the financial period ended December 31, 2013.

The accruals for realized gains or losses from derivative instruments have been reversed in the opening IFRS balance

sheet as well as for all subsequent periods and at the same time the realized gains and losses from commodity derivatives recognized in revenues have been reclassified into other operating income and expenses.

Leases

Under FAS all leases in which Gasum is a lessee have been classified as operating leases. According to IFRS, such leasing contracts in which the significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset transfer to the

lessee are classified as finance leases. Finance leases are capitalized at the lease’s commencement at the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The value of assets acquired under finance lease amounted to €0.4 million in the opening IFRS balance sheet and respective finance lease liability amounted to €0.4 million. Furthermore, the value of assets acquired under finance lease and value of finance lease liability amounted to €0.3 million at the end of financial period ended December 31, 2012 and €0.2 million at the end of the financial period ended December 31, 2013.

Gasum acts also as a lessor in certain arrangements which fall under leasing contracts according to the criteria set out

in IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a lease interpretation. Under FAS the assets related to such arrangements are presented in buildings and constructions and associated constant payments are included in the

revenue. Buildings and constructions related to arrangements classified as finance leases have been re-measured at the present value of minimum lease payments in accordance with IAS 17 Leases and reclassified as finance lease assets. The amount of finance lease assets amounts to €1.7 million in the opening IFRS balance sheet, €1.9 million as at December 31, 2012 and €1.9 million as at December 31, 2013. The payments recognized in the revenue have been

adjusted and reclassified as amortization of the finance lease asset and interest income.


25

Employee benefits

Gasum operates a supplementary defined benefit pension scheme which has been recognized under FAS on a cash

basis at the amounts indicated in the advance invoicing from pension company. In the IFRS financial statements the

pension plan has been recognized according to IAS 19 Employee Benefits standard applying the projected unit credit method in determining the benefit and the net liability arising from the defined benefit. The net defined benefit liability amounts to €5.3 million in the opening balance sheet. The respective net defined benefit liability amounted to €7.2 million for the financial period ended December 31, 2012 and €6.6 million for the financial period ended December 31, 2013.

Gasum has a long-term incentive scheme for key employees of the Group that has been recognized to income

statement only at the end of the vesting period under FAS. Under IFRS these schemes are accounted for as other long-term defined benefit schemes according to IAS 19 Employee Benefits and the impact has been accrued over the vesting period. For the IFRS opening balance sheet the liabilities relating to the long-term incentive scheme have been increased by €1.4 million compared to FAS financial statements and the respective total liability together with related social security costs was €3.2 million. Accordingly, the liability for the financial year ended December 31, 2012 was €1.9 million and for the financial year ended December 31, 2013 €0.

Other adjustments and reclassifications

The compensation allowances paid by Gasum for land owners for redeeming a long-term property usage right for the accommodation of natural gas pipelines and natural gas measuring post as well as for other limitations on the property usage arising from the natural gas pipelines have been accounted for as intangible assets in FAS and amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years in line with tax regulations. Under IFRS the compensation allowances

are accounted for as intangible assets with indefinite life prospectively since the date of transition. Respectively, the amortization recognized on compensation allowances amounting to €0.5 million during 2012 and €0.6 million during 2013 are reversed to the carrying value.

In connection with the first-time adoption, Gasum uses the optional exemption allowed by IFRS 1 regarding business combinations and does not apply IFRS 3 Business Combinations to business combinations executed prior to the transition date. Gasum has, nevertheless, assessed business acquisitions executed prior to the transition date and allocates related goodwill of €1.0 million in the opening balance sheet to tangible assets as part of the transmission

network according to the substance of the acquisition. The re-classified item is depreciated according to plan over the remaining useful life at the transition date. The annual goodwill amortization of €0.3 million recognized in the financial statements for the periods ending December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2013 is reversed.

Gasum reclassifies the value of the cushion gas from inventories to tangible assets. In the opening balance sheet as well as in other balance sheets included in the first financial statements the reclassification amounts to €2.7 million.

Furthermore, Gasum has presented in FAS as at December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012 the prepayments relating to a long-term ”Take-or-pay” supply contract within the non-current and current assets. In the opening

balance sheet the prepayment is classified based on its substance to inventories and the respective reclassification into the opening balance sheet inventories amounts to €102.6 million. In the balance sheet as at December 31, 2012 the reclassification into inventory amounts to €82.7 million. During the financial period ending December 31, 2013 the applied FAS accounting principle is in line with IFRS and does not require reclassification.

4. Significant accounting estimates and judgmental items

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates as well as management judgment in applying the accounting principles when preparing financial statements. The estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The most significant estimates and assumptions and judgmental

items are discussed in more detail in the following.


26

”Take-or-Pay” prepayment related to the purchase contract of natural gas

Gasum has engaged to a long-term purchase contract of natural gas which includes a”Take-or-Pay” mechanism.

Gasum has made prepayments in accordance with the purchase contract which entitle the Company to receive

physical gas deliveries over future years. Take-or-pay prepayment is presented in the inventories and valued at lower of cost and net realizable value.

The net realizable value is highly dependent on management views on the future utiliability of the prepaid amount. Other factors impacting the valuation of the prepayment include potential changes in the market situation, development of sales prices or possible amendments to the contract terms.

Pension benefits

The present value of the pension obligations depends on a number of factors that are determined on an actuarial basis using a number of assumptions. The discount rate is one of the significant assumptions in determining the net cost (or net income) arising from pensions. Any changes in these assumptions will impact the carrying amount of pension obligations.

Assumptions used for impairment testing of tangible assets and intangible assets

Significant assets in tangible assets and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment. Impairment testing is carried out utilizing value-in-use calculations which are based on forecast cash-flows and the preparation of which requires management estimates on future cash-flows. The nature of the estimates depends on which business the tested assets belong to. The gas transmission business is regulated and monitored by domestic authorities and the cash-flows include estimates on the future development of the regulation. Most significant judgments regarding the

supply of energy relate to future cash-flows and the discount factor.

5. Management of financial risks and capital structure

Financial risk management

Gasum’s financial risks related to business are market risk (including interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Risk management is carried out by the Group’s finance department together with business planning and operations.

Market risk – Commodity risk

The contract price of Gasum’s procurement contract of natural gas has tied to the price indexes. These indexes are

the price of heavy fuel oil HFO1S, index E40 published by Statistics Finland which represents Finnish energy markets, and the price describing the price of coal. For invoicing, from above mentioned indexes, have been included a six-month average price. Same indexes included in the procurement contract are also applied to the selling contracts of natural gas that entail a natural hedge of the price risk. Clients are able to hedge the variable oil or coal component through a price hedge product whereupon Gasum enters into a mirror contract with an external counterparty. For oil, the hedge is always the same in both contracts. For coal, a coal derivative available from market is used. This derivative is not completely the same as the h-value in the customer contract. In these instances the price of hedging

includes a risk premium by which the basis risk is covered.

The Group does not apply hedge accounting to these derivative contracts.


27

Interest rate risk

The business of Gasum is capital intensive, and group has regular need to obtain financing. The current loan portfolio

consists mainly of long-term euro-denominated financing. Long-term financing consists mainly of loans to financial

institutions. Seasonal fluctuations in working capital have been trying to finance with own liquidity and using the euro-denominated commercial paper programme.

Gasum Oy’s interest rate risk arises primarily from variable rate long-term loans. The average duration of Gasum’s debt portfolio is 24 to 48 months and the aim is to minimize interest rate risk by using derivatives. Strategies for interest rate management are continuously developed in order to find an optimal ratio between risks and finance expenses.

The funding is raised mainly by the parent entity and further allocated to subsidiaries through different internal finance arrangements.

As at December 31, 2013 interest-bearing debt of Gasum totalled to €164.4 million (2012: €197.3 million).

The average duration of Gasum's debt portfolio in the end of 2013 was 2.9 years (2012: 3.9).

Credit risk

All customers of Gasum’s energy trade are with high credit rating. Customer base of Group’s energy services is quite large, consisting of more than 30.000 customers when credit risk will be decreased due to this. The credit risk related to the trade receivables of the Company is very low.

Liquidity risk

Gasum manages liquidity and refinancing risks by cash and cash equivalents and overdrafts entered with key partner

banks. The Group must always have available cash and cash equivalents or comparable marketable securities and undrawn overdrafts enough to cover all the loans which will overdue during the next 12 months. As at 31 December 2013 the Company had enough unused overdraft limit to achieve this target.

The next table analyses the Group´s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are included in the analysis if their contractual maturities are essential for an

understanding of the timing of the cash flows. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

29

The nature of the derivative contracts

Interest rate derivatives

As at December 31, 2013 the nominal values of the outstanding interest rate derivatives were €183.0 million (December 31, 2012: €187.3 million; January 1, 2012: €170.5 million). Gains and losses on interest rate swaps are recognized in the consolidated income statement within finance expenses until the repayment of the bank borrowings. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows based on observable yield curves.

Oil derivatives

The nominal values of the outstanding oil derivatives were €63.8 million at the year-end (2012: €68.0 million; 2011: €60.6 million). The fair values of derivative contracts are based on the forward curve of heavy fuel oil at the reporting date.

Coal derivatives

The nominal values of the outstanding coal derivatives at the reporting date were € 203 thousand (2012: €417

thousand; 2011: €0 thousand). The fair values of derivative contracts are based on quoted market prices at the reporting date.

Fair value estimation

Financial instruments valued at fair value classified according to the valuation method. Hierarchy levels used have been determined as follows:

a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

b) Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices)

c) Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data / that is, unobservable

inputs)

Sensitivity analyses for market risk

Sensitivity analyses for significant commodity risks have been presented in the following. In the calculation of price

risk of oil, the position includes outstanding oil derivatives with an external counterparty. The impact of the increase or decrease of oil price to the Group’s income statement has been presented in the table below. The figures are based on the assumption that oil price had increased/decreased by 10 percent with all other variables held constant. The figures do not present the real impact on the Group’s income statement because they don’t include the mirror fair value change of oil price in sales agreements.

At December 31, 2013 At December 31, 2012

10 percent increase in oil price would affect to the income statement €8,1 million €2,3 million 10 percent decrease in oil price would affect to the income statement

Capital management

Capital management in the Group is based on different business scenarios and sensitivity analyses in those as well as

the evaluation of essential risks concerning the Group. In addition to business risks, Gasum reserves adequate capital

to cover the balance sheet interest rate risk and possible impairments. The following table presents Gasum’s net debt and gearing, which the Company monitors as a part of its capital management.

The share capital of Gasum Oy is divided into A-series shares and one K-series share. The Finnish State owns the K-share. Each share incorporates one vote when voting in the annual general meeting. Each share has an equal right to the dividend and to Gasum’s assets. A permission of Gasum Oy’s board of directors must be granted to acquire the K-series share. If this permission is not granted the K-share shareholder has a right to claim that the share is converted

into an A-share.

The share capital of Gasum Oy is €178,279,205.41. The share capital is fully paid. The shares do not have a nominal value. According to the articles of association, the minimum share capital of Gasum Oy is €100 000 000 and the maximum share capital is €400,000,000, within the limits of which the share capital can be raised or lowered without changing the articles of association.

Discount rate 3% 3% 4.5%

Inflation 2% 2% 2%

Salary growth rate 4% 4% 4%

Pension growth rate 2.1% 2.1% 2.1%

Client bonus by the life insurance company 0.3% 0.5% 0.5%

Assumptions regarding future mortality are set based on actuarial advice in accordance with published statistics by TyEL (K2008) mortality schedules and experience. These assumptions translate into an average life expectancy in

years for a pensioner retiring at age 65. Life expectancy is defined as the life span prediction of a person of a

particular age and its calculation is based on the Gomperz mortality model:

Life expectancy at age 65 Male Woman

Aged 45 at balance sheet date 20.6 26.4

Aged 65 at balance sheet date 19.0 24.7

The above sensitivity analyses are based on a change in an assumption while holding all other assumptions constant. In practice, this is unlikely to occur, and changes in some of the assumptions may be correlated. When calculating the sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to significant actuarial assumptions the same method has been applied as when calculating the defined benefit obligation (present value of the defined benefit obligation calculated with the

projected unit credit method at the end of the reporting period).

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

All pension arrangement related assets are included within the approved insurance contracts.

Through its defined benefit pension plans the group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Changes in bond yields

A decrease in corporate bond yields will increase the plan liabilities. In case the bond yields used as bases for discount rates change, the group may need to change respectively the discount rates. This will impact both the net defined benefit obligation as well as the amount of remeasurements recognized in the other comprehensive income.

Inflation risk

Some of the group’s defined benefit obligations are linked to inflation and growth in the inflation rate will increase the defined benefit obligation. In case the development of employer productivity lags behind the inflation, the acceleration of inflation may increase the deficit of defined benefit plans.

Life expectancy

The majority of the plans’ obligations are to provide benefits for the life of the member, so increases in life expectancy will result in an increase in the plans’ liabilities. This is particularly significant in the UK plan, where inflationary increases result in higher sensitivity to changes in life expectancy.

Expected contributions to post-employment benefit plans for the year ending 31 December 2014 are €1.5 million.

The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 18 years, calculated on the basis of undiscounted

cash-flows. Expected maturity analysis of undiscounted pension benefits:

32. Dividend per share

In 2013 dividends of €40.0 million (€0.755 per share) were paid and in 2012 dividends of €31.8 million (€0.60 per share) were paid. Dividends of €17.9 million (€0.338 per share) are proposed to the annual general meeting. This proposed amount of dividends is not recorded as a liability to the financial statements.

33. Contingent liabilities

Purchase agreement of natural gas

Gasum has engaged to a long-term purchase agreement of natural gas, in which a minimum annual delivered quantity of natural gas is agreed along with the agreed quantity of delivery. In case the Company will not use the minimum annual delivered quantity of the gas, the Company will pay a pre-payment for the difference which gives the Company a right to receive the unused amount of the agreed quantity of the gas in later years. The right is unlimited in terms of time.

36. Events after the reporting period

Gasum acquired the majority (51 percent) of the LNG distribution business of the Norwegian Skangass from Lyse group. The production facility of Skangass in Risavika will remain under Lyse but Skangass A/S, the new joint venture, has engaged to a long-term agreement about the use of this facility. Skangass’ Öra terminal in Norway and Lysekil terminal under construction as well as Gävle terminal under planning in Sweden will be transferred to the new company. Skangass has charter agreements to two LNG tankers and with the transaction the companies have 20 LNG tank trucks in total.
