Fly PLAY hf. - Interim Financial Statements 30 June 2021
All amounts in US dollars


Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

The Interim Financial Statements has been prepared in accordance with the Financial Statements Act and generally accepted accounting principles of Iceland and are in all main aspects based on the same accounting principles as for the previous year. The Interim Financial Statements are presented in US dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. The Interim Financial Statements have been reviewed by the Company's independent auditors. The Company will adopt and implement International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2021. There are not considered to be material changes in accounting principles resulting from the implementation or any material effect on the Company's financial position.

According to the Financial Statement total loss for the period was $1.8 million. Equity on 30 June 2021 amounted to $87.1 million, including share capital in the amount of $5.6 million and share premium of $85.4 million. Reference is made to the Statement of Changes in Equity regarding the information on changes in equity.

PLAY has had an excellent start to its initial operations. The second quarter figures are atypical as they only include the first three commercial flights of the airline.

PLAY successfully raised funds of $34.9 million through an Initial Public Offering (IPO) and is now traded on the Nasdaq First North Growth Market Iceland. PLAY holds a strong cash position with total liquidity of $77.8 million. This strong cash position enables PLAY to pursue business opportunities, follow through with its business plan and be prepared for turbulent market conditions.

The COVID-19 pandemic is having a significant effect on worldwide aviation and financial markets and the Icelandic economy. There remains uncertainty on the progression of the pandemic and its impact on PLAY. The speed of vaccine programs and various governmental restrictions will impact customers and airline travel demand. The Company management continues to position the Company in line with ongoing market conditions and when demand will return to more normal levels.

PLAY has signed a labor agreement with The Icelandic Aviation Union (Íslenska Flugstéttarfélagið) which expires in 2025. As part of its contractual obligations, PLAY cannot enter labor negotiations with other labor unions. However, The Icelandic Cabin Crew Association (Flugfreyjufélag Íslands) has indicated it may take actions against PLAY if the Company does not sign a labor agreement with its members. Should such adverse actions be initiated, PLAY will pursue applicable options to protect its interests.

We hereby confirm that the interim financial statements for the period from 1 January to 30 June 2021, to the best of our knowledge, have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Statements Act and generally accepted accounting principles of Iceland and that the information in the accounts gives a true and fair view of the Company's assets, liabilities, financial position, and overall results.

Independent Auditors' Report

To the board and shareholders of Fly PLAY hf.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying Interim Financial Statement of Fly Play hf. as of 30 June 2021 and the related Income Statement, Balance sheet, Statement of cash flows, Statement of changes in equity and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes. Management is responsible for the preparation and presentation of these Interim Financial Statements in accordance with the Financial Statement act no. 3/2006 in Iceland. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these Interim Financial Statements based on our review.

Scope of review

We conducted our review in accordance with International Standards on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying Interim Financial Statements do not give a true and fair view of the financial position of Fly PLAY hf. as of 30 June 2021, and of its financial performance and its cash flow for the six month period then ended with Financial Statements act no. 3/2006 in Iceland.
