The Board of Directors:

Ingibjörg Pálmadóttir, Chairman of the Board of Directors Árni Hauksson Eiríkur S. Jóhannsson Katrín Pétursdóttir Þorsteinn M. Jónsson

Jón Sigurðsson CEO:

To the Board of FL GROUP hf.

We have reviewed the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of FL GROUP hf., which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2008 and the consolidated income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the six-month period then ended, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements 2410 Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity . A review of interim financial information 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.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information does not give a true and fair view of the financial position of the entity as at 30 June 2008 and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the six-month period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Notes, contd.:

Income tax

  1. The effective income tax rate of the Company in the first six months of the year 2008 was minus 1.7%. The difference between the expected and effective income tax rate for the period is partly attributable to two factors:

In May 2008 the Icelandic Parliament approved a decrease in the income tax rate from 18% to 15% as of 1 January 2008. Due to this the deferred tax asset at year-end 2007 has decreased by ISK 1,400 million compared to 31 December 2007. The decrease was recognised in the current period, ISK 1,397 million as expense in the income statement and ISK 3 million as a decrease in equity due to items previously recognised in equity.

Further amendments to Icelandic taxation legislation, adopted in May 2008, include that capital gains on equities will be tax exempt under certain conditions. The amendments take effect as of 1 January 2008. Due to this, the deferred tax asset has decreased by ISK 517 million compared to 31 December 2007. The decrease was recognised in the current period, ISK 505 million as expense in the income statement and ISK 12 million as a decrease in equity due to items previously recognised in equity.
