Hunter Group ASA (“HUNT”, “the Company” or “the Group”) is a Norwegian public limited liability company which shares are listed on the Oslo Børs/Oslo Stock Exchange (Oslo Axess list) and it is therefore subject to the corporate governance requirements as set out in the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance. HUNT works according the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance dated 14th October 2021 (www.nues.no). Where HUNT does not fully comply with the recommendations, an explanation or comment is given.

The Company's registered business address now is Dronningen 1, N-0287 Oslo, Norway. In April 2018 Hunter Group entered into a definitive VLCC contract transfer agreement with Apollo Asset Ltd. Subsequently, Hunter Tankers AS was established. In the May 2018 AGM, the shareholders of Hunter Group ASA approved taking over the four VLCC construction contracts and three options from Apollo Asset Ltd on a “back- to-back” basis as contracted with Daewoo Shipbuilding Marine Engineering Co., LTD whereby the Company assumed the obligations versus the Shipyard. In May 2018 the board decided to exercise the options for construction of three additional vessels. Each of the option vessels had a price of USD 82.8m, plus USD 2.7m for each scrubber. In November 2018, Hunter Tankers AS signed a contract for one additional VLCC at DSME, with identical specifications. In October 2019, the Company sold one VLCC for USD 98 million, taking the fleet to a total of seven VLCCs. Between August 2019 and November 2022, the Company successfully took delivery of it’s VLCCs, and successfully employed the vessels in the spot and time charter market. The Company divested the first vessel in April 2021, and have since gradually divested the remaining fleet. The final vessel was delivered to her new owner in November 2022. Following the divestment of the VLCC fleet, the Company has been in the process of distributing the investment returns to the shareholders of the Company, while simultaneously developing new investment projects. At the date of this report, there are no significant business operations in Hunter Tankers AS. At present, there are no business activities in Indicator AS (containing the Badger-technology). The entire result for 2022 has therefore been presented as discontinued operations. The Company's shares are listed on Oslo Euronext Expand, a regulated market operated by the Euronext Group under the ticker "HUNT". Going concern In accordance with the Accounting Act § 3-3a, we confirm that the financial statements have been prepared under the assumption of going concern. This assumption is based on the sound financial position of the Company, with an estimated liquidity runway of approximately 3.5 years.

Simultaneously with the divestment of the oil tanker fleet, the Company has worked with the development of several new investment projects which are expected to materialize during the course of 2023.

The Company was at year end in the process of distributing investment gains from its VLCC project in Hunter Tankers AS, which has been the Group’s major business since 2018. The Group’s policy has been to return investment proceeds from specific investment projects to its shareholders, before raising additional capital to finance new investment projects. The Group is currently in the phase of finalizing these distributions while simultaneously developing new investment projects. Following the proposed dividend of NOK 0.04 per share, which will be voted at the Company's EGM on 16 February 2023, the Group will retain net liquidity of approximately NOK 40 million. This is estimated to cover project development costs, salaries, office lease, listing fees, legal fees and accounting/audit fees for approximately 3.5 years from the date of this report.

Hunter Group ASA - 2022 25 Note 1 - Significant accounting principles Hunter Group ASA (HUNT) is a public limited liability company, incorporated in Norway, headquartered in Oslo and listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange (Euronext Expand), address headquarter: Dronningen 1, 0287 Oslo, Norway. The financial statements of Hunter Group ASA for the fiscal year 2022 were approved in the board meeting on 27 February 2023. The Group’s activities are described in the Board of Director’s report. 1.1 Basis of presentation of the accounts HUNT’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and IFRS as adopted by the EU, and are mandatory for financial year beginning on or after 1 January 2022, and Norwegian disclosure requirements listed in the Norwegian Accounting Act as of 31 December 2022. The historical cost basis have been used when preparing the financial statements, except for financial instruments measured at fair value. These policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented, and certain amounts in the comparable year have been reclassified to be consistent with current year presentation. Some totals may not equal the sum of the amounts shown due to rounding. Following the sale of the last remaining tanker vessel in late November 2022, the group has discontinued its tanker shipping business. The Group has had no other material activity in 2021 and 2022, and also general overhead expenses has in its entirety been allocated to the discontinued tanker business. Based on IFRS 5.33b) management has concluded to present the analysis of result from discontinued operations in the statement of comprehensive income as this would give more useful information than presenting the entire result for the year on one line called "result from discontinued operations". Correspondingly, management has used the option in IFRS 5.33c) to present the analysis of cash flow from discontinued operations on the face of the cash flow statement. As the entire business in both 2022 and 2021, the disclosures in the corresponding notes pertaining to income statement amounts and cash flows relate to discontinued operations. Disclosures related to balance sheet items as of year-end 2022 relates to assets remaining in the group following the sale of all tanker vessels, and primarily relates to working capital. Consolidation Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which the Company obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using consistent accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated in full. A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, will be accounted for as an equity transaction. The Group consist of the following companies as per 31 December 2022: • Hunter Group ASA (parent company) • Indicator AS (100% owned subsidiary dormant) • Hunter Tankers AS (100% owned subsidiary dormant) Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value, and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses. When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree. Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2022 Hunter Group ASA - 2022 26 Note 1 - Significant accounting principles cont. 1.2 Use of estimates when preparing the annual financial statements Estimates and their underlying assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses are based on historic experience and other factors considered reasonable under the circumstances. The estimates constitute the basis for the assessment of the net book value of assets and liabilities when these values cannot be derived from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods affected. Following the sale of all tanker vessels and discontinuance of the tanker shipping business, there are no longer significant estimation uncertainty as per year-end 2022 related to valuation of vessels. Hunter Tankers AS has been taxed under the Norwegian Tonnage Tax rules. As all qualifying assets has been sold as per year-end, the company would either have to reinvest in a qualifying asset within 12 months of the last sale or liquidate. Failure to do one of these could result in the company becoming ordinary taxed from 1 January 2022, resulting in the gain from sale of vessels could be taxable. Management plans for Hunter Tankers to either reinvest or liquidate, and as such, taxes has been estimated based on the assumption that Hunter Tankers will be taxed under the Norwegian Tonnage Tax scheme for 2022. The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosures. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. Please refer to 1.3, 1.11 and note 4 for further information about VLCC (not applicable as of 31 December 2022). 1.3 Impairment of assets The Group assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired. An assessment of impairment losses on assets is made when there is an indication of a fall in value. If an asset’s carrying amount is higher than the asset’s recoverable amount, an impairment loss will be recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and the discounted cash flow from continued use. The fair value less costs to sell is the amount that can be obtained from a sale to an independent third party minus the sales costs. The recoverable amount is determined separately for all assets but, if this is impossible, it is determined together with the entity. Impairment losses recognized in the statements of profit or loss of previous periods are reversed when there is information that the need for the impairment loss no longer exists or is not as great as it was. However, no reversal takes place if the reversal leads to the carrying amount exceeding what the carrying amount would have been if normal depreciation periods had been used. The Group follows the development of the price of the Company’s listed shares, the daily market rates for the VLCC operations, and monitors the development of the pricing of new ships when evaluating if there exist indicators of the Group’s VLCCs. The recoverable amount was determined based on fair value less cost to sell. Management obtained an external valuation for similar newbuilds as evidence of fair value less cost to sell. Please refer to note 4 for further information. 1.4 Cash and cash equivalents Cash includes cash in hand and at bank. Cash equivalents are short-term liquid investments that can be immediately converted into a known amount of cash and have a maximum term to maturity of three months. 1.5 Statement of cash flows The statement of cash flows is prepared in accordance with the indirect method. Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2022 Hunter Group ASA - 2022 27 Note 1 - Significant accounting principles cont. 1.6 Functional currency and presentation currency The main transactions for Hunter Group ASA and Hunter Tankers AS has been in USD. Due to the functional currency for the two main companies in the Group are in USD, it is also the considered to be beneficial to present the financial statements of the Group in USD. Transactions in foreign currency are translated at the rate applicable on the transaction date. Monetary items in a foreign currency are translated into USD using the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their historical price expressed in a foreign currency are translated into USD using the exchange rate applicable on the transaction date. Non-monetary items that are measured at their fair value expressed in a foreign currency are translated at the exchange rate applicable on the balance sheet date. Changes to exchange rates on monetary items are recognized in the income statement as they occur during the accounting period. 1.7 Financial assets Initial recognition and measurement Financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at amortized cost, as appropriate. All financial assets are recognized initially at fair value plus, in the case of financial assets not recorded at fair value through profit or loss, transaction costs that are attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. The Group determines the classification of its financial assets at initial recognition. The Group’s financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. Subsequent measurement Receivables are classified as financial assets measured at amortized costs. The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their classification as described below: Receivables Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR (effective interest rate) method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the statement of profit or loss. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the statement of profit or loss in other operating expenses for receivables. This category includes accounts receivable and other receivables carried at amortized cost or at nominal amount less provision for bad debt where this can be regarded as a reasonable proxy for fair value. Other financial assets are cash and cash equivalents and other financial investments, measured at balance sheet date rate for items in foreign currency. 1.8 Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, or borrowings at amortized cost, as appropriate. HUNT’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and IFRS 16 lease liabilities. Subsequent measurement Initial recognition and measurement Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2022 Hunter Group ASA - 2022 28 Note 1 - Significant accounting principles cont. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings, net of directly attributable transaction costs. The Group’s financial liabilities include trade and other payables and borrowings. Subsequent measurement The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification, as described below: Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities at amortized cost (loans and borrowings) This is the category most relevant to the Group. After initial recognition, interest-bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. This category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings Derecognition A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. Offsetting of financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously. 1.9 Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. When fixed assets are sold or disposed of, the gross carrying amount and accumulated depreciation are derecognized, and any gain or loss on the sale or disposal is recognized in the statement of profit or loss. The gross carrying amount of fixed assets is the purchased price, including duties/taxes and direct acquisition costs relating to making the asset ready for use. Subsequent costs, such as repair and maintenance costs, are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. When increased future economic benefits as a result of repair/maintenance work can be proven, such costs will be recognized in the statement of financial position as additional to fixed assets. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows: Plant and machinery: 3 - 5 years VLCC vessels: 25 years VLCC equipment: 3 – 5 years The depreciation period, the depreciation method and the residual value of fixed assets are evaluated annually. Vessels and equipment The net cost of the VLCCs (less estimated residual value) is the basis for a straight-line depreciation over the estimated remaining economic useful lives (25 years). Other equipments (excluding vessel upgrades) are depreciated over its estimated remaining useful life (5 years). The estimated residual value for the VLCCs is calculated by multiplying the lightweight tonnage with the market price of scrap per tonne. The market price of scrap per tonne is based on price of scrap at delivery (USD 325/lwt) in Pakistan. Residual values are reviewed annually. Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2022 Hunter Group ASA - 2022 29 Note 1 - Significant accounting principles cont. 1.10 Provisions Provisions are recognized when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are evaluated at the end of each month and adjusted to reflect the available information about the provision. When the information available is insufficient, the best estimate is used. 1.11 Recognition of revenue Revenue is recognized to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, and then at an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Group hires out its vessels to the Tankers International (TI) pool and receives, as compensation, a daily rate that varies from day to day, depending on the net result generated in TI. The company will thus recognize such income on an ongoing basis based on earned daily rate. The company's revenues from the pool are presented as Pool revenues in the income statement. The time charter revenue is generated from fixed rate time charter contracts. Revenue from time charters are accounted for as lease in accordance with IFRS 16 and is classified as time charter revenue in the income statement. The Group’s time charter contracts have a duration of 3-9 months and a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor (Hunter), hence the lease is classified as operating lease. Payments received under operating leases are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Furthermore, the Group will also cover any surplus fuel after the ship arrives at the pool (without profit). In such cases, the Group will sell surplus fuel on board when the ship is delivered to TI. TI's surplus fuel coverage are recognized net. 1.12 Income tax The tax expense consists of the tax payable and changes to deferred tax. Deferred tax/tax assets are calculated on all differences between the book value and tax value of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that the Group will have a sufficient profit for tax purposes in subsequent periods to utilize the tax asset. The Group recognize previously unrecognized deferred tax assets to the extent it has become probable that the Group can utilize the deferred tax asset. Similarly, the Group will reduce a deferred tax asset to the extent that the Group no longer regards it as probable that it can utilize the deferred tax asset. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are measured on the basis of tax rates that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax and deferred tax assets are recognized at their nominal value and classified as non-current assets (long-term liabilities) in the balance sheet. Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2022 Hunter Group ASA - 2022 30 Note 1 - Significant accounting principles cont. Taxes payable and deferred taxes are recognized directly in equity to the extent that they relate to equity transactions. The Group offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities if and only if it has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and current tax liabilities and the deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities which intend either to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered. The subsidiary Hunter Tankers AS is part of the shipping tax rules in Norway, which in all material aspects results in the company being taxable only for part of the net financial result. 1.13 Contingent liabilities and assets Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the annual accounts. Significant contingent liabilities are disclosed, with the exception of contingent liabilities that are remote to be incurred. Contingent assets are not recognized in the annual accounts but are disclosed if it is probable that a benefit will be added to the Group. Further reference is made to note 1.2. 1.14 Leases In the financial statement of lessees, the standard requires recognition of all contracts that qualify under its definition of a lease as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet, while lease payments are to be reflected as interest expense and reduction of lease liabilities. The right-of-use assets are to be depreciated in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment over the shorter of each contract’s term and the assets’ useful life. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the statement of profit or loss. 1.15 Equity Cost of equity transactions Transaction costs directly related to an equity transaction are recognized directly in equity after deducting tax expenses. 1.16 Events after the reporting period New information on the Group’s financial position at the end of the reporting period which becomes known after the reporting period is reflected in the annual accounts. Events after the reporting period that do not affect the Group’s financial position at the end of the reporting period but which will affect the Group’s financial position in the future are disclosed if significant. 1.17 Segments For management purposes, the Group is organized into one business unit based on its products and services, and has a reportable segment which first developed the VLCC construction contracts and options, and then operates these vessels. No operating segments have been aggregated to form the reportable operating segment. The management monitors the operating results of its business units separately for the purpose of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on profit or loss and is measured consistently with profit or loss in the consolidated financial statements. Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2022 Hunter Group ASA - 2022 31 Note 1 - Significant accounting principles cont. 1.18 Share-based payment Employees of HUNT receive remuneration in the form of share-based payments, whereby employees render services as consideration for equity instruments (equity-settled transactions). The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model, further details of which are given in note 20. That cost is recognized in employee benefits expense, together with a corresponding increase in equity (other capital reserves), over the period in which the service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of profit or loss for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognized as at the beginning and end of that period. No expense is recognized for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognized is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of modification, is recognized for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share- based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss. 1.19 Accounting principles for discontinued operations All the VLCC vessels were sold in 2022 and the tanker vessel segment was as such discontinued. As the amounts in the amounts in the consolidated statement of profit and loss and the statement of cash flows in all material aspects relates to the taker vessel segment, these statements have been classified as discontinued operations in full. 1.20 Changes in accounting policies and disclosures The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for the new and amended standards and interpretations to IFRS which have been implemented by the Group during the current financial year. Several other amendments and interpretations apply for the first time in 2022, but do not have an impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective. Amendments to standards and interpretations with a future effective date Following the discontinuance of the group's current operations, none of the future amendments to standards are expected to have material impact on the group. Notes to the consolidated financial statements 2022 Hunter Group ASA - 2022 32 Note 2 – Significant acquisitions and disposals, and discontinued operations Hunter Atla was sold in 2021 for an en-bloc price of USD 84.5 million, with a gain of USD 2.6 million. On 30 June 2022, the Group concluded the sale of Hunter Disen for an en-bloc price of USD 96.0 million, with a gain of USD 15.1 million. On 22 July 2022, the Company concluded the sale of Hunter Idun for an en-bloc price of USD 95.5 million, with a gain of USD 13.9 million. On 2 August 2022, the Company concluded the sale of Hunter Frigg for an en-bloc price of USD 96.0 million, with a gain of USD 9.0 million. On 23 November 2022, the Company concluded the sale of Hunter Freya for an en-bloc price of USD 95.5 million, with a gain of USD 18.0 million. As all of the Group’s VLCC were sold the tanker vessel segment discontinued at the end of 2022. In all material aspects all of the Group’s business relates to the tanker vessel segment, and the consolidated statement of profit and loss and the consolidated statement of cash flow are therefore classified as discontinued operations. In January 2023 it was decided to distribute the major part of the Group’s cash position to its share holders. Note 3 - Segment information Based on the nature of the vessels, processes and type of customers it was concluded that the Group had one segment and information on segment performance is found in the consolidated statements of income and financial position. As the financial statement is consistent with the internal financial reporting for the tanker vessel segment and thus is equal to the Income Statement, Statement of Financial Position and Cash flow statement, no further disaggregation is provided. The Group does not consider the domicile of its customers as a relevant decision-making guideline and hence does not consider it meaningful to allocate vessels and related income to specific geographical locations. The tanker vessel segment was discontinued at the end for 2022.

The Group’s management oversees the management of these risks and assures that HUNT’s financial risk-taking activities are governed by appropriate policies and procedures and that financial risks are identified, measured and managed in accordance with the Group’s policies. It is the Group’s policy that no trading in derivatives for speculative purposes shall be undertaken. The Board of Directors reviews and agrees on policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below. Foreign currency risk The Group’s cash reserves of USD 136.9 million are deposited in the Norwegian bank DNB. Following a decision in 2022 to pay out all excess cash as dividend in NOK in early 2023, 81.6 % of cash reserves of USD 136.9 were placed in NOK and subject to foreign currency risk from year-end and until payment of dividend. A 10 per cent change in the NOK/USD currency rate would result in an agio effect in the profit before tax of +/- USD 11.2 million. 29 December 2022 the Company entered a FX contract for USD 10 million at cross rate 9.89 with maturity on 3 January 2023. The main transactions for the Group has been in USD. As commercial operations are in a large scale, a foreign currency exchange risk policy has been introduced. Interest rate risk The Group’s financial income and financial costs in the statement of profit or loss are influenced by changes in interest rates as the interest with DNB is on a floating basis. The Group had USD 8.4 million in interest expense in 2021 and USD 4.4 million in 2022. No interest-bearing debt exist as of 31 December 2022. Credit risk HUNT only trades with recognized, creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers that wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. All cash in the Group is deposited in the Norwegian bank DNB. Credit risk is managed through a framework that sets out policies and procedures covering the measurement and management of credit risk. Liquidity risk HUNT monitors its liquidity on a regular basis and produces rolling liquidity forecasts on a monthly basis in order to identify liquidity requirements in future periods. The target for HUNT’s management of liquidity risk is to minimum maintain a liquidity corresponding to its net liquidity requirements for 12 months. In January 2023 it was decided to distribute the major part of the Group’s cash position to its share holders. The management will continue to focus on efficient operations, good planning and close monitoring of the liquidity situation and maintaining a clear business development strategy. The Company expects to retain approximately NOK 40 million in net liquidity, which will sufficiently cover project development costs, salaries, office lease, listing fees, legal fees and accounting/audit fees for approximately 3.5 years from the date of this report. Climate risk The Group assesses where climate risks could have a significant impact. These risks in relation to climate-related matters has been included as key assumptions where they materially could have impacted the measure of recoverable amount. As the business has been discontinued at the end of 2022, there are no risk related to stranded assets. How the company affects the climate and how the climate affects the company will be a part of the decision-making basis when new business opportunities are assessed.

The financial statements of the Company and the Group comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022 and the income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of cash flows and statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion  the financial statements comply with applicable legal requirements  the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2022 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with simplified application of international accounting standards according to section 3-9 of Norwegian Accounting,  the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Group as at 31 December 2022 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the audit committee. Basis for opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided. We have been the auditor of the Company for 20 years from the election by the general meeting of the shareholders on June 20, 2003 for the accounting year 2003. Key audit matters Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for 2022. We have determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report. Penneo Dokumentnøkkel: LN4UP-3TA0C-Z1XKT-L7U5E-N6KS6-XJ4ZE 2 Independent auditor's report - Hunter Group ASA 2022 A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited Other information Other information consists of the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Management (the board of directors and the Chief Executive Officer) is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and, in doing so, consider whether the board of directors’ report, the statement on corporate governance and the statement on corporate social responsibility contain the information required by applicable legal requirements and whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information or that the information required by applicable legal requirements is not included, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard, and in our opinion, the board of directors’ report, the statement on corporate governance and the statement on corporate social responsibility are consistent with the financial statements and contain the information required by applicable legal requirements. Responsibilities of management for the financial statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with simplified application of international accounting standards according to section 3-9 of the Norwegian Accounting and of the consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group, or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:  Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Penneo Dokumentnøkkel: LN4UP-3TA0C-Z1XKT-L7U5E-N6KS6-XJ4ZE 3 Independent auditor's report - Hunter Group ASA 2022 A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited  Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit 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 Company’s and the Group’s internal control.  Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.  Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s and the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company and the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.  Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.  Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on other legal and r egulatory r equir em ent Report on compliance with regulation on European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) Opinion As part of our audit of the financial statements of Hunter Group ASA we have performed an assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements included in the annual report, with the file name 5967007LIEEXZXHLAW34-2022-12-31-en.zip, has been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) and regulation given with legal basis in Section 5-5 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 – “Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information”. The standard requires us to plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements included in the annual report have been prepared in accordance with the ESEF Regulation. As part of our work, we performed procedures to obtain an understanding of the company’s processes for preparing its annual report in XHTML format. We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the iXBRL tagging and assessed management’s use of judgement. Our work comprised reconciliation of the iXBRL tagged data with the audited financial statements in human-readable format. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
