Management and the Board of Directors have today considered and approved the interim report of Atlantic Sapphire AS for the period 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019. The interim report, which has not been audited or reviewed by the company's independent auditors, has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU disclosure requirements for listed companies. In our opinion, the accounting policies used are appropriate, and the interim report gives a true and fair view of the Group's financial position at 30 June 2019, as well as the results of the Group activities and cash flows for the period 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2019. In our opinion, Management's review provides a true and fair presentation of developments, results for the period, and overall financial position of the Group operations in addition to a description of the most significant risks and elements of uncertainty facing the Group. Over and above the disclosures in the interim report, no changes in the Group's most significant risks and uncertainties have occurred relative to the disclosures in the annual report for 2018.
