INTERIM REPORT

EAM Solar ASA ("EAM", "EAM ASA", or "the Company") is a company listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker "EAM". The Company's primary business is to own solar power plants and sell electricity under long-term fixed price sales contracts, and to pursue legal proceedings in order to restore company values. The Company owns six power plants in Italy, of which two power plants are located in the Friuli region in Northern Italy, and four power plants are located in the Puglia and Basilicata regions in Southern Italy. Energeia AS manages EAM under a long-term management agreement.

This interim report should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report for 2017, published on 12 April 2018 and the stock exchange notices in the reporting period.

Operational review and outlook

Power plants in operation

EAM ASA operated 6 power plants in the quarter. EAM ASA's own operation and maintenance team conducted normal operational inspections and maintenance work during the quarter.

The 6 power plants have a combined installed capacity of 8.6 MW with an average annual power production of 12.7 GWh (P50 production).

Power production

Power production in the in the quarter was 4 357 MWh, 0.8 per cent below estimated production. Accumulated for the year the power production was 10 628 MWh, 4.1 per cent below estimated production. The main reason for lower power production in the first nine months was related to lower solar irradiation in the period.

FIT revenues

FIT revenues in the quarter were EUR 1 186 thousand and the average FIT contract price revenue for the quarter per MWh was EUR 272. Accumulated for the period FIT revenues were EUR 2 883 thousand and the average FIT contract price revenue was EUR 271 per MWh.

Market price development

Market price revenues in the quarter were EUR 275 thousand. This represents an average market price for electricity of EUR 63 per

MWh. The average electricity market price in the northern part of Italy for the quarter was EUR 69 per MWh and in the southern part of Italy EUR 54 per MWh.

Accumulated for the year, market price revenues were EUR 600 thousand. This represents an average market price for electricity of EUR 56 per MWh for the period. The average electricity market price in the northern part of Italy accumulated for the year was EUR 60 per MWh and in the southern part of Italy EUR 51 per MWh.

Legal processes

The P31 Acquisition has transformed EAM from an operational Solar PV YieldCo to a company where a significant part of the future value is dependent on the outcome of various legal actions and litigation processes.

The criminal proceedings in Milan have continued with hearings throughout the quarter. These proceedings were mainly focused on questioning of witnesses and presentation of evidence. Further hearings in the criminal case are expected to continue throughout January next year and a verdict in the first instance may happen as early as the first quarter 2019, this is however uncertain.

The arbitration proceedings in Milan has continued with hearings and filing of briefs. A final award in the arbitration case could be expected during the first quarter 2019, however the timing is uncertain.

The Company received in February 2018 a new summons for allegedly false and misleading statements filed by Aveleos SA in Luxembourg in conjunction with the statements EAM made in its third quarter report

2017, where the Company made a provision for impairment on the receivables against Aveleos SA and explained the reasons for such impairment. The counterparty has twice asked for postponement of the proceedings and the first hearing took place on 11 October 2018. There was not enough time to finalise the hearing and it was therefore rescheduled for 12 November 2018. On 12 November the counterparty asked for yet another postponement and a new hearing has been scheduled for 3 December 2018.

Please also see the Annual Report 2017 for further information on the legal processes.

EAM will pay no dividend in conjunction with the third quarter 2018.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT

Note 01 BASIS FOR PREPARATION

General accounting principles

EAM is a public limited liability company, incorporated and domiciled in Norway, with registered office at Dronningen 1, NO-0287 Oslo, Norway. The Company was founded on 5 January 2011 and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange under the ticker "EAM" in 2013.

The primary business activity of EAM is both to own solar photovoltaic power plants and sell electricity under long-term fixed price sales contracts, and to pursue legal proceedings in order to restore company values. EAM was structured to create a steady long-term dividend yield for its shareholders. Following the P31 Acquisition, the main value of EAM is dependant on the future outcome of litigation activities.

EAM currently owns 6 photovoltaic power plants and 4 subsidiaries in Italy. The Company has no employees.

Energeia AS manages the Company under a long-term management agreement. EAM Solar Park Management AS, a subsidiary of Energeia AS, conducts most of the day-to-day operational tasks with own employees and through the use of subcontractors.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements. The quarterly report should therefore be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Report 2017 that was published on 12 April 2018 and the stock exchange notices in the reporting period.

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group's annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017. Standards and interpretations as mentioned in the Group's Annual Report 2017 Note 1 and effective from 1 January 2018 did not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated interim financial statements.

Financial risk

For the external leasing contracts with floating interest there is an interest rate swap hedging fluctuations in floating interest rate.

Credit risk

Under normal circumstances the risk for losses is considered to be low, since the main commercial counterparty is GSE, owned by the Ministry of Finance in Italy. The Group has not made any set-off or other derivative agreements to reduce the credit risk in EAM.

Asset value risk

EAM Group's cash balance was EUR 872 thousand on 30 September 2018, of which EUR 62 thousand are seized by the Italian state.

Market and regulatory risk

One of the main risk of operations in Italy is related to regulatory risk. The contractual counterparty, the Government of Italy, has conducted unilateral and retroactive changes to the commercial electricity sales contracts to the detriment of the suppliers and they have also made changes to the operational regulatory regime governing power plants in Italy.

Note 02 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS

In the process of applying the Group's accounting policies according to IFRS, management has made several judgements and estimates. All estimates are assessed to the most probable outcome based on the management's best knowledge. Changes in key assumptions may have significant effect and may cause material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, equity and the profit for the period. The Company's most important accounting estimates are the following:

Going concern

Given the Litigation Funding agreement with Therium and the subsequent Share Issue conducted in 2017 together with revenue from the six solar power plants, the board and management considers the Company's ability to operate as a going concern for the next 12 months as secured. The going concern consideration is mainly related to the assessment of adequate liquidity to meet the Company's running operational financial obligations and legal costs.

Note 03 CURRENCY EXPOSURE

Most of EAM 's economic activities (revenues and costs) are in EUR. Some of the cost base and financing are in NOK. The functional currency for the parent company is NOK.

Note 04 TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

Equity contribution agreement and patronage letter

EAM Solar Italy Holding Srl and EAM entered into an equity contribu-

tion agreement and patronage letter with UBI Leasing and UniCredit in conjunction with the acquisition of ESGP, ESGI and ESSP.

In the outset, the agreements require EAM Solar Italy Holding Srl to inject equity into the SPVs under certain circumstances of breach of the lending agreement.

In the legal proceedings EAM has alleged that one of the main motives behind the contractual fraud conducted was for Enovos and Avelar to be formally released by the financing banks from their debt guarantee obligations, thus avoiding the losses that would come as a consequence of a FIT contract termination decision by GSE.

Consequently, the equity contribution commitments of EAM and EAM Solar Italy Holding srl are considered void since this was brought about as a result of a criminal contractual fraud. It is the Company's opinion that there is less than 50 per cent likelihood that EAM will have to honour the agreements, and consequently no liability has been recognised.
