The counterparty has twice asked for postponement and the hearing has been rescheduled to take place on 11 October 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 produced 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 Asset Management AS manages the Company under a long-term management agreement. EAM Solar Park Management AS, a subsidiary of Energeia Asset Management AS, conducts most of the day-to-day operational tasks with own employees and through the use of subcontractors.

This interim condensed consolidated financial statement 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, the equity issue prospectus published on 9 August 2017, 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 one of the external financing contracts with floating interest there is an interest rate swaps hedging fluctuations in floating interest.

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 1.1 million on 30 June 2018, of which EUR 62 thousand are seized.

Market and regulatory risk

The main risk of operations in Italy is related to regulatory risk, whereby 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 the 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, 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.

Equity contribution agreement and patronage letter

EAM Solar Italy Holding Srl and EAM entered into an equity contribution 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 the main motive behind the contractual fraud conducted was in order for Enovos and Avelar to achieve 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.
