Fly Play hf. is an Icelandic airline established in March 2019 and listed on the Nasdaq First North Iceland in July 2021. On 24 June, 2021 PLAY started operating scheduled flights when it flew its first flight to London.
PLAY is a low-cost airline operating flights between Iceland, Europe and the United States. PLAY offers low-cost flights and a safe and pleasant journey in new and comfortable Airbus aircraft. PLAY's primary goal is to make flying affordable for everyone.
The Condensed Interim Financial Statements for the period from January 1 to June 30 2022 have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) for Interim Financial Statements (IAS 34). The Financial Statements are presented in thousands of US dollars, which is the Company's functional currency.
According to the Condensed Interim Financial Statement total loss for the period was USD 25.6 million. Equity at 30 June 2022 amounted to USD 42.5 million, including share capital in the amount of USD 5.6 million and share premium of USD 85.6 million. Reference is made to the Statement of Changes in Equity regarding the information on changes in equity. The average number of full time employees was 222 in the period thereof 106 men and 116 women and salaries and related expenses amounted to USD 11.3 million in the period.
The effect on PLAY of the Russian invasion of Ukraine has so far been limited to the rise and fluctuation in fuel prices, but we are closely monitoring the impact on cost and revenue. Following the rise in fuel prices, PLAY implemented a fuel surcharge in March. The surcharge varies between destinations and takes into consideration the length of flying and other factors.
In the second quarter of 2022 PLAY experienced a significant growth in load factor and number of passenger. The load factor went from an average of 63% in the first quarter of 2022 to an average of 74% in the second quarter. The total number of passengers went from just over 56 thous. in the first quarter to just under 182 thous. in the second quarter. This trend has continued with 110 thous. passengers in July alone. June was a landmark month for PLAY as it was the first month when PLAY operated at its full hub-and-spoke network using six aircraft.
The On-time performance (OTP) in June was 79.1%, which, although not up to PLAY's usual high standards, is still more than satisfactory given the change to a hub-and-spoke network and the difficult situation at European airports that struggle with staff shortages and subsequent delays. PLAY has experienced delays in its schedule and suffered from costs associated with these delays. This cost is already built into the company's business plan and is in line with expectations and the norm in the industry.
PLAY reached its initial target of unit cost per available seat kilometer (CASK) excluding fuel and emissions being lower than four U.S. cents in May and June. This is very important for PLAY as we aim to offer the lowest fares in our markets, and a low-cost base is critical in achieving that. This also shows the underlying efficiency of our business model and is an encouragement as we strive to lower our costs even further as PLAY grows.
PLAY believes that flexibility in scaling production to the demand has been crucial for PLAY, and we will continue to do so with our focus being flexibility, demand-driven growth, and attractive offering to the market with the best prices and positive climate actions. PLAY is well prepared to weather the uncertainty with its strong financial position.
The increase in utilization over the first six months of the year with the addition of the VIA market to PLAY's network is a positive sign of the efficiency of the hub-and-spoke network. PLAY intents to further build upon this platform and is in the process of fully implementing a cargo business to increase the profitability of major routes.
According to the Board of Directors' and CEO's best knowledge, the Condensed Interim Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the financial performance of the Company for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022, its assets, liabilities and financial position as at 30 June 2022 and its cash flows for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022.
Further, in our opinion, the Financial Statements and the Endorsement of the Board of Directors and the CEO give a fair view of the development and performance of PLAY's operations and its position and describes the principal risks and uncertainties faced by PLAY.
The Board of Directors and the CEO have today discussed the Condensed Interim Financial Statements of PLAY for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 and confirm them by means of their signatures.
Board of Directors:

Ran Diresse
To the board and shareholders of Fly Play hf.
We have reviewed the accompanying Interim Financial Statement of Fly Play hf. as of 30 June 2022. The Financial Statements comprise the Statement of Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Cash Flows, the Changes in Equity, a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Interim Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and the Financial Statements Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these Interim Financial Statements based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standards on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Interim Financial Statements do not give a true and fair view of the financial position of Fly Play hf. as of 30 June 2021, and of its financial performance and its cash flow for the six month period then ended with Financial Statements act no. 3/2006 in Iceland.

The registered office of the Company is at Suðurlandsbraut 14 in Reykjavík, Iceland. The Company is listed on the Nasdaq First North Iceland.
These Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company are for the six-month period ended 30 June 2022 and have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 as adopted by the European Union.
The Condensed Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Financial Statements for the Company for the period ended 31 December 2021 are available upon request from the Company's registered office or at www.flyplay.com/financial-reports-and-presentations
These Condensed Interim Financial Statements do not include all of the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Company's financial position and performance since the last annual financial statements.
The Condensed Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors of Fly Play hf. on August 22, 2022.
The Financial Statements are prepared on a historical cost basis. Further details of the Company's accounting policies are included the 2021 financial statements.
These Financial Statements are prepared on a going concern basis. The Company has prepared the financial statements on the basis that it will continue to operate as a going concern. The Directors consider that there are no material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt over this assumption. They have formed a judgement that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and not less than 12 months from the end of the reporting period.
These Financial Statements are presented in United States Dollars (USD), which is the Company's functional currency. All financial information presented in United States Dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise stated.
In preparing these Financial Statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the Company's accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
The significant judgements made by management in applying the Company's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the Financial Statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Determination of fair value is based on assumptions subject to management's assessment of the development of various factors in the future. The actual selling price of assets and settlement value of liabilities may differ from these estimates.
A number of the Company's accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement of fair value, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Where applicable, further information about the assumptions made in determining the fair value of assets or liabilities are in the notes to the relevant assets and liabilities.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Condensed Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2021, except for the adoption of new standards effective as of 1 January 2022. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.
Several amendments apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have an impact on the Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company.
The Company operates as a single operating segment at this time.

The Company has made new lease agreements for six new Airbus 320neo aircraft. The most recent was delivered in March 2022 with another one delivered just after the reporting period (in July), two more in Q3 2022 and two in Q1 2023. The lease liability for the aircraft scheduled in Q3 of 2022 will amount to approximately USD 104.3 million and in the year 2023 USD 78.0 million.
Among current payables is recognized deferred income in the amount of USD 40.2 million due to sale of unflown flights and outstanding gift certificates at year end. Revenues from passenger flights are recognized in the statement of comprehensive income when the relevant flight has been flown. Increased booking and offering in travel locations has led to a significant increase in deferred revenue since year end 2021.
