KNUTSEN SHUTTLE TANKERS 13 AS

NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF AND FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2013

(In Norwegian Kroner, thousands, unless otherwise indicated)

1) Accounting Principles

(a) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway (“NGAAP”).

The interim financial statements have been prepared solely to meet the requirements of Rule 3-05 of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X and do not present prior period comparative financial information for the period ended June 30, 2012.

(b) Current Assets/Current Liabilities

Fixed assets are intended for long-term ownership and use. Other assets are classified as current assets. Short-term liabilities are due within one year or tied to the operation of the vessel. Other liabilities are classified as long-term liabilities. Current assets are valued at the lower of cost and fair value. Short-term liabilities are recorded at nominal value at the time of entering into such liabilities.

(c) Fixed Assets and Dry-Docking

Yard installments paid on newbuildings are gradually recorded as fixed assets as the installments are paid. All costs regarding construction supervision, construction financing (including building loan interest and provision of guarantees), and purchases beyond the yard contract regarding the individual contract are also registered.

Newbuilding contracts are valued in accordance with the lower value of capitalized value and fair value (including time charter contracts entered by the newbuilding), if the loss is not considered temporary.

The total cost of the vessel is capitalized at delivery and depreciated linearly over the expected lifetime. Dry-docking expenses are capitalized and depreciated over the period until the next dry-docking. This is in line with the depreciation plan of the vessel and takes into account that the vessel is classified to operate for an additional period.

Dry-docking is carried out every fifth year for vessels younger than 15 years, and every 2.5 years for vessels older than 15 years. In the case of a newbuilding, a portion of the total cost of the vessel equal to the dry-docking cost is capitalized. Actual expenses related to repair and maintenance of the vessel are expensed when the work is executed.

The fixed assets are valued according to the lowest of the depreciated value and the market value unless the fall in value is assumed to be temporary.

(d) Income

The income from the charter party is in U.S. dollars (“USD”), and income is recorded in the statement of operations when actually earned.

(e) Transactions in Foreign Currency

Income and expenditures in foreign currency are converted according to the exchange rate in effect at the time of the transaction. All current assets and current liabilities in foreign currency are registered at the rate of exchange as of June 30, 2013. Realized foreign exchange gain and loss are registered as financial items. The debt is valued at the historical rate, to the extent that the future net nominal income flow exceeds the borrowed amount. To the extent that long-term debt exceeds the net nominal income flow, the unrealized foreign exchange loss on the exceeding amount is recorded.

5

Realized and unrealized profit and loss on foreign exchange are recorded as financial income/expenses.

(f) Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings

All loans and borrowings are initially recognized at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received net of issue costs associated with the borrowing. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Any difference between proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recorded in the profit and loss over the period of the interest-bearing liabilities. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any issue costs and any discount or premium on settlement. Gains and losses are recognized in the net profit and loss statement when the liabilities are devalued or depreciated, as well as through the amortization process.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are valued according to the net realizable value principle.

(h) Tax

The tax expense in the income statement includes both tax payable and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at 27% on the basis of temporary differences between accounting and tax values and tax loss carried forward at the year end.

A company should meet certain requirements to be within the regime, such as ownership of only ships or shares in shipping companies and ownership of only certain types of financial assets.

(i) Cash Flow Hedges

The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is not recorded, while any ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the statement of profit or loss as foreign exchange gain/loss.

(j) Statement of Cash Flows

The statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method of NGAAP. The liquidity balance is defined as the sum of cash, bank deposits and other short-term liquid deposits.

(k) Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of a going concern.

2) Contracts
