addition to these important factors and matters discussed elsewhere herein,
important factors that, in our view, could cause actual results to differ

strength of world economies, fluctuations in currencies and interest rates,
general market conditions including fluctuations in charterhire rates and vessel
values, changes in demand in the markets in which we operate, changes in demand
resulting from changes in OPEC&#8217;s petroleum production levels and world wide oil
consumption and storage, developments regarding the technologies relating to oil
exploration, changes in market demand in countries which import commodities and
finished goods and changes in the amount and location of the production of those
commodities and finished goods, increased inspection procedures and more
restrictive import and export controls, changes in our operating expenses,
including bunker prices, drydocking and insurance costs, performance of our
charterers and other counterparties with whom we deal, timely delivery of
vessels under construction within the contracted price, changes in governmental
rules and regulations or actions taken by regulatory authorities, potential
liability from pending or future litigation, general domestic and international
political conditions, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents

last year, global financial markets have experienced extraordinary disruption
and volatility following adverse changes in the global credit markets. The
credit markets in the U.S. have experienced significant contraction,
deleveraging and reduced liquidity, and governments have taken highly
significant measures in response to such events, including the enactment of the
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 in the U.S., and may implement
other significant responses in the future. Securities and futures markets and
the credit markets are subject to comprehensive statutes, regulations and other
requirements. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, other regulators,
self-regulatory organizations and exchanges are authorized to take extraordinary
actions in the event of market emergencies, and may effect changes in law or
interpretations of existing laws.</font></div>

international seaborne transportation industry is both cyclical and volatile in
terms of charter rates and profitability. The degree of charter rate volatility
for vessels has varied widely.&#160;Fluctuations in charter rates result from
changes in the supply and demand for vessel capacity and changes in the supply
and demand for energy resources, commodities, semi-finished and finished
consumer and industrial products internationally carried at sea. If we enter
into a charter when charterhire rates are low, our revenues and earnings will be
adversely affected.&#160;&#160;In addition, a decline in charterhire rates
likely will cause the value of our vessels to decline.&#160;&#160;We cannot
assure you that we will be able to successfully charter our vessels in the
future or renew our existing charters at rates sufficient to allow us to operate
our business profitably, meet our obligations or pay dividends to our
shareholders. The factors affecting the supply and demand for vessels are
outside of our control, and the nature, timing and degree of changes in industry
conditions are unpredictable.</font></div>

approximately 4.4% lower than it was during the same period in 2007, and it is
likely that China and other countries in the Asia Pacific region will continue
to experience slowed or even negative economic growth in the near future.
Moreover, the current economic slowdown in the economies of the U.S., the
European Union and other Asian countries may further adversely affect economic
growth in China and elsewhere. Our business, financial condition and results of

economies of most countries belonging to the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development, or OECD, in such respects as structure, government
involvement, level of development, growth rate, capital reinvestment, allocation
of resources, rate of inflation and balance of payments position. Prior to 1978,
the Chinese economy was a planned economy. Since 1978, increasing emphasis has
been placed on the utilization of market forces in the development of the
Chinese economy. Annual and five year state plans are adopted by the Chinese
government in connection with the development of the economy. Although
state-owned enterprises still account for a substantial portion of the Chinese
industrial output, in general, the Chinese government is reducing the level of
direct control that it exercises over the economy through state plans and other
measures. There is an increasing level of freedom and autonomy in areas such as
allocation of resources, production, pricing and management and a gradual shift
in emphasis to a &#8220;market economy&#8221; and enterprise reform. Limited price reforms
were undertaken with the result that prices for certain commodities are
principally determined by market forces. Many of the reforms are unprecedented
or experimental and may be subject to revision, change or abolition based upon
the outcome of such experiments. The level of imports to and exports from China
could be adversely affected by changes to these economic reforms by the Chinese
government, as well as by changes in political, economic and social conditions
or other relevant policies of the Chinese government, such as changes in laws,
regulations or export and import restrictions, all of which could adversely

containers, resulting in a decreased demand for container vessels. In addition,
it is unclear what financial costs any new security procedures might create for
container vessel owners and operators. Any additional costs or a decrease in
container volumes could have an adverse impact on our customers that charter

commodity prices can have a dramatic effect on the demand for drilling units,
and periods of low demand can cause an excess supply of drilling

prior quarter. While this does not constitute a change to our basic dividend
policy, we cannot assure you that our dividend will not be reduced further or

dividends is substantially affected by amounts we receive through profit sharing
payments from our charterers. Our entitlement to profit sharing payments, if
any, is based on the financial performance of our vessels which is outside of
our control. If our profit sharing payments decrease substantially, we may not
be able to continue to pay dividends at present levels, or at all. We are also
subject to contractual limitations on our ability to pay dividends pursuant to
certain debt agreements, and we may agree to additional limitations in the

chartered to the Frontline Charterers are sub-chartered by the Frontline
Charterers in the spot market, which is subject to greater volatility than the

increases or decreases in valuations reflected in results of operations or, if
the instrument is designated as a hedge, in other comprehensive income. Changes
in interest rates give rise to changes in the valuations of interest rate swaps

    <div style="DISPLAY: block; TEXT-INDENT: 0pt"><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The
market price of our common shares has been volatile.&#160;Since December 31,
2007 the closing market price of our common shares has ranged from a high of
$32.43 per share on May 20, 2008 to a low of $4.05 per share on March 9, 2009.
The market price of our common shares may continue to fluctuate due to factors
such as actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results
and those of other public companies in our industry, the reduction of our latest
dividend by fifty percent from the prior dividend, further changes in our
dividend policy, mergers and strategic alliances in the shipping industry,
market conditions in the shipping industry, changes in government regulation,
shortfalls in our operating results from levels forecast by securities analysts,
announcements concerning us or our competitors and the general state of the
securities market. The shipping industry has been highly unpredictable and
volatile. The market for common shares in this industry may be equally volatile.
Therefore, we cannot assure you that you will be able to sell any of our common
shares you may have purchased at a price greater than or equal to its original
purchase price.</font></div>

market price of our common shares could decline due to sales of a large number
of our shares in the market or the perception that such sales could occur. This
could depress the market price of our common shares and make it more difficult
for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem
appropriate, or at all.&#160;In December 2008, we filed a prospectus supplement
pursuant to which we may sell up to 7,000,000 common shares from time-to-time in
the open market. We view this as a potential source of additional equity
capital.&#160;The maximum number of shares issuable represents less than 10% of
our outstanding shares,&#160;and to date no shares have been issued and sold.
There is no specific deadline for the utilization of the prospectus
supplement.</font></div>

addition, several owners and operators pool their vessels together on an ongoing
basis, and such pools are available to customers to the same extent as

vessels are generally operated by container logistics companies, where the
vessels are used as an integral part of their services. Therefore, container
vessels are typically chartered more on a period basis and single voyage

logistics companies on a shorter term basis, particularly in the smaller
segments.</font></div>

jack-up drilling rigs, ultra-deepwater drilling units and offshore supply
vessels are chartered out on long-term charters to contractors, and we are
therefore not directly exposed to the short term fluctuation in these markets.
Jack-up drilling rigs, ultra-deepwater drilling units and offshore supply
vessels are normally chartered by oil companies on a shorter term basis linked
to area-specific well drilling or oil exploration activities, but there have
also been longer period charters available when oil companies want to cover
their longer term requirements for such vessels. Offshore supply vessels,
ultra-deepwater drillships and semi-submersible drilling rigs are
self-propelled, and can therefore easily move between geographic areas. Jack-up
drilling rigs are not self-propelled, but it is common to move these assets over
long distances on heavy-lift vessels. Therefore, the markets and competition for
these rigs are effectively world-wide.</font></div>

for charters in all the above segments is intense and is based upon price,
location, size, age, condition and acceptability of the vessel/rig and its
manager. Competition is also affected by the availability of other size
vessels/rigs to compete in the trades in which we engage. Most of our existing
vessels are chartered at fixed rates on a long-term basis and are thus not
directly affected by competition in the short term. However, the tankers and
OBOs chartered to the Frontline Charterers and our two jack-up drilling rigs are
subject to profit sharing agreements, which will be affected by competition
experienced by the charterers.</font></div>

air pollution from vessels by, among other things, (i) implementing a

sulfur cap reduced initially to 3.50% (from the current cap of 4.50%), effective
from January 1 2012, then progressively to 0.50%, effective from January 1 2020,

the U.S. is not a party to these conventions, many countries have ratified and
follow the liability plan adopted by the IMO and set out in the International
Convention on Civil Liability for Oil Pollution Damage of 1969, as amended in
2000, or the CLC. Under this convention and depending on whether the country in
which the damage results is a party to the CLC, a vessel&#8217;s registered owner is
strictly liable for pollution damage caused in the territorial waters of a
contracting state by discharge of persistent oil, subject to certain complete
defenses. The limits on liability outlined in the 1992 Protocol use the
International Monetary Fund currency unit of Special Drawing Rights, or SDR.
Under an amendment to the 1992 Protocol that became effective on November 1 2003
for vessels of 5,000 to 140,000 gross tons (a unit of measurement for the total
enclosed spaces within a vessel), liability will be limited to approximately
4.51 million SDR, or $6.58 million,&#160;plus 631 SDR, or $919.98,&#160;for each
additional gross ton over 5,000. For vessels over 140,000 gross tons, liability
will be limited to 89.77 million SDR, or $130.88 million. The exchange rate
between SDRs and U.S. Dollars was 0.685886 SDR per U.S. dollar on March 4
2009.&#160;&#160;As the convention calculates liability in terms of a basket of
currencies, these figures are based on currency exchange rates on March 4 2009.
The right to limit liability is forfeited under the CLC where the spill is
caused by the owner&#8217;s actual fault and under the 1992 Protocol where the spill
is caused by the owner&#8217;s intentional or reckless conduct. Vessels trading to
states that are parties to these conventions must provide evidence of insurance
covering the liability of the owner. In jurisdictions where the CLC has not been
adopted various legislative schemes or common law govern, and liability is
imposed either on the basis of fault or in a manner similar to that of the CLC.
We believe that our insurance will cover the liability under the plan adopted by
the IMO.</font></div>

National Invasive Species Act, or NISA, was enacted in 1996 in response to
growing reports of harmful organisms being released into U.S. ports through
ballast water taken on by ships in foreign ports. The U.S. Coast Guard adopted
regulations under NISA in July 2004 that impose mandatory ballast water
management practices for all vessels equipped with ballast water tanks entering
U.S. waters. These requirements can be met by performing mid-ocean ballast
exchange, by retaining ballast water on board the ship, or by using
environmentally sound alternative ballast water management methods approved by
the U.S. Coast Guard. (However, mid-ocean ballast exchange is mandatory for
ships heading to the Great Lakes or Hudson Bay, or vessels engaged in the
foreign export of Alaskan North Slope crude oil.) Mid-ocean ballast exchange is
the primary method for compliance with the U.S. Coast Guard regulations, since
holding ballast water can prevent ships from performing cargo operations upon
arrival in the U.S., and alternative methods are still under development.
Vessels that are unable to conduct mid-ocean ballast exchange due to voyage or
safety concerns may discharge minimum amounts of ballast water (in areas other
than the Great Lakes and the Hudson River), provided that they comply with

October 9 2008, the U.S. ratified the amended Annex VI to the MARPOL Convention,
addressing air pollution from ships, which went into effect on January 8
2009.&#160; The EPA and the state of California, however, have each proposed
more stringent regulations of air emissions from ocean-going vessels. &#160;On
July 24 2008, the California Air Resources Board of the State of California, or
CARB, approved clean-fuel regulations applicable to all vessels sailing within
24 miles of the California coastline whose itineraries call for them to enter
any California ports, terminal facilities, or internal or estuarine waters.
&#160;The new CARB regulations require such vessels to use low sulfur marine
fuels rather than bunker fuel. &#160;By July 1 2009, such vessels are required
to switch either to marine gas oil with a sulfur content of no more than 1.5% or
marine diesel oil with a sulfur content of no more than 0.5%. By 2012, only
marine gas oil and marine diesel oil fuels with 0.1% sulfur will be allowed.
&#160;CARB unilaterally approved the new regulations in spite of legal defeats
at both the district and appellate court levels, including that the CAA requires
CARB to&#160;obtain authorization for the new regulations form the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency.&#160;If CARB prevails and the new regulations
go into effect as scheduled on July 1 2009, in the event our vessels were to
travel within such waters, these new regulations would require significant
expenditures on low-sulfur fuel and would increase our operating
costs.&#160;&#160;However, the more stringent proposed CARB regime was
superseded when the U.S. ratified and implemented the amended Annex VI.

European Union has also adopted legislation that would: (1) strengthen
regulation against manifestly sub-standard vessels (defined as those over 15
years old that have been detained by port authorities at least twice in a
six-month period) from European waters and create an obligation of port states
to inspect vessels posing a high risk to maritime safety or the marine
environment and (2) provide the European Union with greater authority and
control over classification societies, including the ability to seek to suspend
or revoke the authority of negligent societies. It is difficult to accurately
predict what legislation or additional regulations, if any, may be promulgated
by the European Union or any other country or authority.</font></div>

February&#160;2005, the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change, which we refer to as the Kyoto Protocol, entered
into force. Pursuant to the Kyoto Protocol, adopting countries are required to
implement national programs to reduce emissions of certain gases, generally
referred to as greenhouse gases, which are suspected of contributing to global
warming. Currently, the emissions of greenhouse gases from international
shipping are not subject to the Kyoto Protocol. However, the European Union has
indicated that it intends to propose an expansion of the existing European Union
emissions trading scheme to include emissions of greenhouse gases from vessels.
In the U.S., the California Attorney General and a coalition of environmental
groups in October&#160;2007 petitioned the EPA to regulate greenhouse gas
emissions from ocean-going vessels under the CAA. Any passage of climate control
legislation or other regulatory initiatives by the IMO, European Union, the U.S.
or other countries where we operate that restrict emissions of greenhouse gases
could require us to make significant financial expenditures we cannot predict
with certainty at this time.</font></div>

terrorist attacks of September 11 2001, there have been a variety of initiatives
intended to enhance vessel security. On November 25 2002 the U.S. Maritime
Transportation Security Act of 2002, or MTSA, came into effect. To implement
certain portions of the MTSA, in July 2003 the U.S. Coast Guard issued
regulations requiring the implementation of certain security requirements aboard
vessels operating in waters subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Similarly,
in December 2002 amendments to SOLAS created a new chapter of the convention
dealing specifically with maritime security. The new chapter became effective in
July 2004 and imposes various detailed security obligations on vessels and port
authorities, most of which are contained in the International Ship and Port
Facilities Security Code, or the ISPS Code. The ISPS Code is designed to protect
ports and international shipping against terrorism. After July 1 2004, to trade
internationally a vessel must attain an International Ship Security Certificate
(&#8220;ISSC&#8221;) from a recognized security organization approved by the vessel&#8217;s flag
state. Among the various requirements are:</font></div>

line basis to the option price at the option date. If the option is not
exercised, this process is repeated so as to amortize the remaining carrying
value, on a straight line basis, to the estimated scrap value or the option
price at the next option date, as appropriate.</font></div>

where a finance lease relates to a charter arrangement containing fixed price
purchase options, the projected carrying value of the net investment in the
finance lease is compared to the option price at the various option dates. If
any option price is less than the projected net investment in the finance lease
at an option date, the rate of amortization of unearned finance lease interest
income is adjusted to reduce the net investment to the option price at the
option date. If the option is not exercised, this process is repeated so as to
reduce the net investment in the finance lease to the un-guaranteed residual
value or the option price at the next option date, as appropriate.</font></div>

a trend for major oil companies to discriminate against non-double hull vessels
when transporting crude oil and refined oil products. Oil traders with crude or
fuel oil cargoes often require double hull tonnage in order to have full

no longer able to trade to their full capacity compared to double hull vessels,
which implies a further gap in the already existing &#8220;two-tier market&#8221; between
double and non-double hull vessels. According to industry sources, approximately
24% of the VLCC fleet and 12% of the Suezmax fleet are non-double hull, and we

mainly iron ore and coal, which account for a substantial part of the dry bulk
seaborne trade.&#160;&#160;China is the main importer of iron ore and coal, and
there was a substantial reduction in imports from the third quarter to the
fourth quarter 2008. In addition, there was an increase in the drybulk fleet
supply, due to the delivery of newbuildings, conversions and an unlocking of
tonnage because of easing of port congestion.</font></div>

seen during 2007 with strong growth rates in volumes,&#160;particularly between
the Far East and Europe, good utilization factors and profitable box rates. The
volume growth stagnated during the&#160;third quarter and contracted
significantly during the&#160;fourth quarter of 2008 mainly as a consequence of
the credit crisis &#8211; the first time this has been seen in the container market
for many years. This inevitably led to sharply decreasing utilization factors on
the major routes and very low box and charter rates,&#160;which consequently led
to fairly severe reduction in revenues for the entire industry. This was
exacerbated by the approximate 15 % growth in capacity delivered during 2008,
resulting in container operators having to lay up tonnage and virtually freeze
all new chartering activity.</font></div>

charter rates for container tonnage decreased by more than 60 % during 2008 and
by the end of 2008 and early 2009 the rates were at an all-time low for all

2008 was only at 700,000-800,000 TEU (down from approximately 3.3 million TEU in

in oil and gas prices from the record levels experienced early in 2008, together
with the current depressed financial markets, are impacting the activity levels
in most rig segments&#160;as several of the drilling programs that are in the
planning phase are likely to be less&#160;profitable under the current market
conditions. This has caused a drop in activity&#160;level for jack-up drilling
rigs and also has reduced activities for conventional floating drilling
units.</font></div>

ultra-deepwater market has so far not been affected due to the limited supply of
such rigs in the&#160;near term. The more favorable outlook for ultra-deepwater
units is also supported by most oil&#160;companies&#8217; belief in higher oil and gas
prices in the longer term, as well as a need to&#160;improve reserve replacement
ratios based on sound long-term demand for energy.&#160;The numbers of tenders
for ultra-deepwater unit capacity have decreased in response to the&#160;growing
uncertainty regarding the development of the global economy and near term oil
and&#160;gas prices.&#160;Looking at the demand/supply balance for deepwater
units, there is limited available supply&#160;in 2009 and 2010 for both
drillships and semi-submersible drilling rigs. As such, the market&#160;for
individual ultra-deepwater units is considered attractive in the current
environment.</font></div>

market for jack-up drilling rigs&#160;is of a more short-term nature, as the
majority of assignments have&#160;durations from three to 12 months and wells
are often tiebacks to existing infrastructure. The&#160;market is also much more
fragmented on the customer side, and debt-leverage and breakeven&#160;oil price
for marginal projects are higher on average. As a result, the market
for&#160;jack-up drilling rigs has felt the drop in oil and gas prices together
with the credit crunch in the short-term&#160;harder than the other rig
segments. The number of units that are idle has&#160;increased over recent
months, as drilling programs are rescheduled or&#160;postponed. In&#160;the
medium term, operators are expected to replace older and incumbent drilling
units with&#160;newer ones due to wells being increasingly more technically
challenging and consequently&#160;more demanding with respect to rig equipment.
This replacement could take more&#160;time than previously anticipated given the
prevailing economic environment.</font></div>

risk to direct costs in the current and foreseeable economic

inflation can usually be controlled because shipping companies typically monitor
costs to preserve liquidity and encourage suppliers and service providers to
lower rates and prices in the event of a downturn.</font></div>

general, finance lease interest income reduces over the terms of our leases as

effect and sales of crude oil tankers in 2008 (one) and 2007 (seven) have
resulted in our total finance lease interest income decreasing compared to 2007,

Frontline&#8217;s historical carrying value.&#160;&#160;The difference between the
historical carrying value and the net investment in the lease (i.e. the fair
value of the vessel at the inception of the lease) has been recorded as a
deferred deemed equity contribution. This deferred deemed equity contribution is
presented as a reduction in the net investment in finance leases in the balance
sheet and results from the related party nature of both the transfer of the
vessel and the subsequent finance lease. &#160;The deferred deemed equity
contribution is amortized as a credit to contributed surplus over the life of
the new lease arrangement, as lease payments are applied to the principal
balance of the lease receivable. <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">In the year ended December
31 2008 we accounted for $12 million as amortization of such deemed equity
contributions (2007: $21 million). The unamortized balance of deferred deemed
equity contributions at December 31 2008 is $214 million (2007: $226
million).</font></font></div>

forward the tanker industry may be </font>exposed to the decrease in oil
consumption projected by the IEA, further cuts in OPEC production, US crude
inventories at seasonal highs and&#160;record numbers of expected newbuilding
tanker deliveries in the next 12 months.&#160; Factors that could somewhat
improve these weak fundamentals are delays in delivery schedules at the yards,
cancellations of newbuilding orders and scrapping of single hull vessels due to
phase out. &#160;Our tanker vessels on charter to the Frontline Charterers are
subject to long term charters that provide for both a fixed base charterhire and
a profit sharing payment that applies once the applicable Frontline Charterer
earns daily rates from our vessels that exceed certain levels.&#160; If rates
for spot market chartered vessels increase, our profit sharing revenues will
likewise increase for those vessels operated by the Frontline Charterers in the
spot market.&#160; The cha</font>rter contracts for the two jack-up drilling
rigs on charter to Seadrill also include profit sharing payments above certain
base levels from 2009 onwards.&#160; The current market for jack-up rigs is
relatively soft, and we may thus not receive any profit sharing from our two
jack-up drilling rigs.</font></div>

operating expenses. In addition, if a structural change or new equipment is

performance standards set forth in the charters. Under the management
agreements, we will pay Frontline Management a fixed fee of $6,500 per day per
vessel for all of the above services, for as long as the relevant charter is in

to bareboat charter the related vessel to a third party, the related management
agreement provides that our obligation to pay the $6,500 fixed fee to Frontline
Management will be suspended for so long as the vessel is bareboat chartered.

Several of our charter contracts also contain interest adjustment clauses,

outstanding loan, effectively transferring the interest rate exposure to the
counterparty under the charter contract. At December 31 2008, a total of $2.1

at December 31 2008, less the $939 million outstanding floating rate debt
subject to interest adjustment clauses under charter contracts and the $2.4

open position exposes the Company to market risk associated with fluctuations in
the Company&#8217;s share price. It is estimated that a 10% reduction in the share

adjustment of up to $0.7 million, depending to a degree on the counterparty&#8217;s

      October 2007 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a share
      repurchase program of up to seven million shares. Initially the program is
      to be financed through the use of Total Return Swaps, or TRS, indexed to
      the Company&#8217;s own shares, whereby the counterparty acquires shares in the
      Company, and the Company carries the risk of fluctuations in the share
      price of the acquired shares. The settlement amount for each TRS
      transaction <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman">will be (A) the
      proceeds on sale of the shares plus all dividends received by the
      counterparty while holding the shares, less (B) the cost of purchasing the
      shares plus an agreed compensation for cost of carriage for the
      counterparty. Settlement will be either a payment from or to the
      counterparty, depending on whether A is more or less than
      B.&#160;&#160;</font>At December 31 2008 the counterparty had acquired
      approximately 692,000 shares in the Company under this arrangement. At
      present there is no obligation for the Company to purchase any shares from
      the counterparty, and this arrangement has been recorded as a derivative
      transaction (see Note 22).</font></div>

Finance International Limited (&#8220;Ship Finance&#8221; or the &#8220;Company&#8221;), a publicly
listed company on the New York Stock Exchange (ticker SFL), was incorporated in
Bermuda in October 2003 as a subsidiary of Frontline Ltd. (&#8220;Frontline&#8221;) for the
purpose of acquiring certain of the shipping assets of Frontline. In December
2003 Ship Finance issued $580 million of 8.5% senior notes and in the first
quarter of 2004 the Company used the proceeds of the notes issue, together with
a refinancing of existing debt, to fund the acquisition from Frontline of a
fleet of 47 crude oil tankers (including one purchase option for a tanker). The
ships were all chartered back to the Frontline subsidiary Frontline Shipping
Limited (&#8220;Frontline Shipping&#8221;) for most of their estimated remaining lives. The
Company also entered into fixed rate management and administrative services
agreements with Frontline to provide for the operation and maintenance of the
Company&#8217;s tankers and administrative support services. The charters and the
management services agreements were each given economic effect as of January 1
2004 (see Note 21). Since then the Company has acquired additional vessels, in
line with its strategy to diversify its asset and customer base, and several of
the non-double hull tankers acquired in the original fleet have been sold, as
part of the planned management of the fleet.</font></div>

subsidiaries of the Company that are accounted for using the equity method (see
Note 14). In addition, as at December 31 2008, the Company had contracted to

(charters) of our vessels where we are the lessor are classified as either
finance leases or operating leases, based on an assessment of the terms of the
lease. For charters classified as finance leases, the minimum lease payments
(reduced in the case of time-chartered vessels by projected vessel operating
costs) plus the estimated residual value of the vessel are recorded as the gross
investment in the finance lease. The difference between the gross investment in
the lease and the sum of the present values of the two components of the gross
investment is recorded as unearned finance lease interest income. Over the
period of the lease each charter payment received, net of vessel operating costs
if applicable, is allocated between &#8220;finance lease interest income&#8221; and
&#8220;repayments from investments in finance leases&#8221; in such a way as to produce a
constant percentage rate of return on the balance of the net investment in the
finance lease. Thus, as the balance of the net investment in each finance lease
decreases, less of each lease payment received is allocated to finance lease
interest income and more is allocated to finance lease repayment. The portion of
each time charter payment received that is allocated to vessel operating costs
is classified as &#8220;finance lease service revenue.&#8221;</font></div>

&#8220;<font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-STYLE: italic">Fair Value
Measurements</font>&#8221; ("FAS 157") for one year relative to certain nonfinancial
assets and liabilities. As a result, the application of FAS 157 for the
definition and measurement of fair value and related disclosures for all
financial assets and liabilities was effective for the Company beginning
January&#160;1, 2008 on a prospective basis. This adoption did not have a
material impact on the Company&#8217;s consolidated results of operations or financial
condition. The remaining aspects of FAS 157, for which the effective date was
deferred under FSP 157-2, relate to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are
measured at fair value, but are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a
nonrecurring basis. This deferral applies to items such as long-lived asset
groups measured at fair value for an impairment assessment. The effects of the
remaining aspects of FAS 157 are being evaluated by the Company and are to be
applied to fair value measurements prospectively beginning January&#160;1, 2009.
The Company does not expect them to have a material impact on its consolidated
results of operations or financial condition.</font></div>

contribution is presented as a reduction in the net investment in finance leases

the transfer of the vessels and the&#160;</font><font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 11pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">subsequent

payments are applied to the principal balance of the lease receivable.

November 2006 the Board of Directors approved the Ship Finance International
Limited Share Option Scheme (the &#8220;Option Scheme&#8221;). The Option Scheme permits the
Board of Directors, at its discretion, to grant options to employees and

granted is recognized in the statement of operations, and until December 31,
2008 the corresponding amount was credited to contributed surplus. As of

certain situations, the Company may enter into financial instruments to reduce
the risk associated with fluctuations in interest rates.&#160;&#160;The Company
has a portfolio of swaps that swap floating rate interest to fixed rate, which
from a financial perspective hedge interest rate exposure. The counterparties to
such contracts are Nordea Bank Finland Plc, HSH Nordbank AG, Fortis Bank
(Nederland) N.V., Fortis Bank NV/SA New York Branch, HBOS Treasury Services plc,
NIBC Bank N.V., Citibank N.A. London, Scotiabank Europe Plc, DnB NOR Bank ASA,
Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken AB (publ) Oslo, ING Bank N.V., Lloyds TSB Bank

to the extent that the counterparties are unable to perform under the contracts,
but this risk is considered remote as the counterparties are all banks which
have provided the Company with loans and the interest rate swaps are related to
financing arrangements.</font></div>

emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific
measurement, and should be determined based on the assumptions that market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for
considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements,
FAS&#160;157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between
market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources
independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified
within levels one and two of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity&#8217;s own
assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified
within level three of the hierarchy).</font></div>

inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level two inputs are
inputs other than quoted prices included in level one that are observable for
the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level two inputs may
include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as
well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, other than quoted
prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and yield curves that are
observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level three inputs are unobservable
inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity&#8217;s own
assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances
where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from
different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value
hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the
lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its
entirety. The Company&#8217;s assessment of the significance of a particular input to
the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers
factors specific to the asset or liability.</font></div>
