To the Annual Shareholders's Meeting of Badger Explorer ASA
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Badger ExplorerASA, comprising the financial statements for the Parent Company and the Group. The financial statements of the Parent Company and the Group comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2013, the statements of income, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for the year then ended as weIl as a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
The Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation ofthese financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Iaws, regulations, and auditing standards and practices generally accepted in Norway, including International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements for the Parent Company and the Group.
In our opinion, the financial statements of Badger ExplorerASA have been prepared in accordance with Iaws and regulations and present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Parent Company and the Group as at 31 December 2013 and their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by theEU.
Based on our audit of the financial statements as described above, it is our opinion that the information presented in the Directors' report and in the statements on corporate governance and corporate social responsibility concerning the financial statements and the going concern assumption is consistent with the financial statements and complies with the law and regulations.
Based on our audit of the financial statements as described above, and control procedures we have considered necessary in accordance with the International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000, «Assurance Engagements Other than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information», it is our opinion that the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer have fulfilled their duty to ensure that the Company's accounting information is properly recorded and documented as required by law and generally accepted bookkeeping practice in Norway.
