Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements of FL GROUP hf. 31 March 2008 ___________________________ 3 ___________________________ To the board of FL GROUP hf.
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements of FL GROUP hf., which comprise the consolidated balance sheet as at 31 March 2008 and the consolidated income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the three-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.
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.
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 31 March 2008, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the three-month period then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
