Introduction

General information These interim finacial statements for Pandion Energy AS ("the Company") have been prepared to comply with the Revolving exploration finance facility agreement dated 13 November, 2017, the Borrowing base facility agreement dated 9 April 2018 and Bond terms for senior unsecured bond dated 3 April 2018.

These interim financial statements have not been subject to review or audit by independent auditors.

Accounting principles

These interim financial statements have been prepared on the bases of simplified IFRS pursuant to the Norwegian Accounting Act §3-9 and regulations regarding simplified application of IFRS issued by the Norwegian Ministry of Finance on 3 November 2014, thus the interim financial statements do not include all information required by simplified IFRS and should be read in conjunction with the Company annual financial statement as at 31 December 2018.

The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and interim periods presented. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results of operations or cash flows for an annual period. In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

As described in the company's annual financial statements for 2018, one new accounting standard entered into force from 1 January 2019, IFRS 16. Pandion has assessed the impact of IFRS 16 on the interim financial statements and identified the office lease agreement containing a lease after IFRS 16. The impact on the balance sheet is presented on separate balance sheet items. The standard has been implemented without restatement of prior periodsreported figures. Certain aspects by IFRS 16 have until lately been discussed by the IASB and the IFRS interpretations Committee (IFRIC), particularly related to the recognitions of leases entered by operators in the oil and gas industry for the use of joint operations. Two rig contracts in the Companys partner licenses can potentially be considered as lease after IFRS 16. Pandion has assessed whether the Company is formally the lessee in these agreements and concluded not to formally be the customer, and therefore not considered the rig contracts as a lease for Pandion after IFRS 16. Pandion will reconsider their assessment going forward following potential further review by the IASB and IFRIC and comparison with financial reporting of Pandion`s peers in the oil & gas industry. The two potential contracts would have increased the balance sheet statements by adding lease liabilities of approximately 25 MUSD if the joint arrangements were considered as the lessee in this agreements.

For further detailed information on accounting principles, please refer to the Financial Statements for 2018.

First Quarter 2019 Summary

Total revenue was USD 29.4 (27.7 in Q1-18) million, and reported operating profit USD 0.1 (8.6 in Q1-18) million. The lower operating profit in Q1 2019 is mainly due to dry targets in the combined appraisal and exploration well at the Hod field and unrealised loss on oil derivatives accounted as other income. EBITDAX amounted to USD 12.2 (12.1) million. Net profit was USD -6.3 (4.1) million.

The total revenue was driven by revenues related to oil sales from the Valhall and Hod fields, (407 kboe in Q1-19 compared to 372 kboe in Q1-2018). Average realised oil price was USD 64.8 ( 67.3 in Q1-18) per bbl.

The operating expenses amounted to USD 10.3 (14.4 in Q1-18) million.

Investments in fixed assets amounted to USD 19.7 million, driven by investments in the Valhall field, mainly Flank West development, IP drilling and Flank South Infill Drilling.

The company's interest-bearing debt was USD 157.4 million at the end of the first quarter.

Summary Operational Review

Production from the Valhall and Hod fields was 5.1 (3.8) thousand barrels of oil equivalents per day net to Pandion during first quarter, representing a 16 per cent increase from the previous quarter, driven by ramp-up of production from new wells and continued high production efficiency.

The Valhall IP drilling campaign continued with the G10 well. Valuable core samples and data were gathered on the shallower Miocene play during the drilling of this well. This play may represent a significant development potential. One section of the G11 well was completed with Fishbone technology and successfully put on test production.

The Valhall partnership made a final investment decision for the first phase of the Wellhead Platfrom Production Recovery ("WPPR") project. The WPPR project consists of a water injection test and six infill producers in the Lower Hod formation and represents a continuation of drilling in the Valhall central areas following the successful IP campaign.

The Maersk Invincible rig was deployed to Flank South to drill two infill targets, where the fist target did not find economic volumes. The rig will now drill the second infill target.

During the first quarter a combined appraisal and exploration well was drilled at the Hod field. Both targets were dry. These result will inform future concept work for the Hod Field Development project which is currently in early phase.

The Valhall Flank West development project is progressing as planned. The project is preparing for the upcoming offshore installation campaign this summer and is on schedule for first oil in the fourth quarter.

The production efficiency for the Valhall area was 94.3 (84 in Q1-18) percent in the quarter.

First Quarter 2019 Summary

Hedging

The Company has focused on securing liquidity and has entered into an extensive oil price hedging program to reduce the risk related to oil prices. At the end of the first quarter Pandion had put in place a hedging programme through 2019 and Q3 2020.

70% of 2019 volumes hedged at USD 55/bbl.

90% of 2020 post-tax volumes have been hedged at USD 55/bbl and USD 56/bbl.

The existing hedging program is mainly based on put options. Following the increase in the long term oil prices during Q1 the Company had a unrealised loss from hedging presented as other income.
