Sýn hf. is a fully comprehensive communications and media provider. The Company operates many of the most powerful media platforms in Iceland like Channel 2, Bylgjan Radio, Visir.is, FM957, the X and other well-known media. The Company provides individuals, companies, institution and public bodies with all the core aspects of communication services under the brand of Vodafone Iceland and its subsidiary Endor. The Company works in close global co-operation with Vodafone Group, which is one of the largest multinational communication company in the world.

These Consolidated Condensed Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, as adopted by the European Union and additional requirements in the Icelandic Financial Statement Act. The Interim Financial statements contain the Condensed Interim Financial Statements, the Company's subsidiary Endor ehf. and share in the joint operation of Sendafélagið ehf. The Condensed Interim Financial Statements of the Company from January 1st to September 30th, 2020 have not been reviewed by the Company's auditors.

According to the Income Statement, revenues from goods sold and service provided amounts to ISK 15,373 mill. Loss of the period amounts to ISK 402 mill. According to the Statement of Financial Position, assets of the Company amounts to ISK 30,351 millj. The equity position at the end of the period on September 30th 2020 amounts to ISK 8,392 millj. Thereof share capital amounts to ISK 2,964 millj. The equity ratio at period end is 27.7%.

The emphasis of the Company's management in the COVID-19 epidemic has been to ensure the safety of employees and its customers as well as to ensure that there is no disruption to the operation and maintenance of important infrastructure. The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the Group's operations and cash flow in the first nine months of the year is seen in declining revenues from advertising and roaming. See further in note 11.

The Company has signed an agreement of exclusivity and heads of terms regarding a sale and leaseback of passive mobile infrastructure to international investors. The terms indicate that the transaction will strengthen the Company's balance sheet and the estimated realized profit from the transaction could amount to over six billion ISK. The terms of the leaseback agreement assume a 20-year lease which will guarantee the Company's access to the passive mobile infrastructure. All active mobile equipment will be owned and operated by Sýn. The estimated proceeds and accounting treatment of the transaction depends on the structure of the agreement. This agreement does not guarantee the transaction will take place, since it is subject to due diligence and possibly regulatory approval. Therefore, there is still considerable uncertainty if the transaction takes place.

  1. Other matters

The Company is engaged in legal proceedings against companies and supervisory authorities in the Icelandic telecommunication and media market. The Company recognizes obligations due to such legal proceedings in its financial statements once future payments and other benefits can be estimated in a reliable manner. Due to uncertainties regarding future development of legal proceedings, judicial decisions, rulings, appeals and settlements, the outcome can lead to additional commitments and costs for the Company.

Below is a description of main developments in relation to legal proceedings during and after the term of the third quarter. Please refer to the annual account of 2019 for more extensive description.

Sýn hf. vs. 365 hf., Ingibjörg Stefania Pálmadóttir and Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson

Sýn hf. has filed a subpoena for payment of damages against 365 hf., Ingibjörg Stefania Palmadóttir and Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson, on the basis of the non-competition clauses within the sales and purchase agreement (SPA) between Sýn hf. and 365 hf. In the SPA the applicable provisions include a right for Sýn hf. to claim penalties/damages which amount to ISK 5 m per day, plus indexation. Sýn hf.'s claim is based on these provisions and amounts to ISK 1,700 million, plus interest. The subpoena has been approved and the defendants submitted their brief during the third quarter.

365 hf., Ingibjörg Stefania Pálmadóttir and Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson vs. Sýn hf., the CEO and certain members of the Board of Directors

365 hf., Ingibjörg Stefania Pálmadóttir and Jón Ásgeir Jóhannesson has filed a subpoena against Sýn hf., Sýn's CEO and all board members for the payment of compensation. Plaintiffs claim ISK 1,000 million separately. The defendants filed a brief for dismissal and the Reykjavik District Court gave a verdict on 28 October 2020. The Court found the claims of the plaintiffs to be vague and unclear and thus dismissed the case. The case has been appealed to Landsréttur.

Siminn hf. vs the Post and Telecom Administration, the Competition Authority, Sýn hf. and Nova ehf.

Siminn hf. filed a subpoena against the Competition Authority, Sýn hf. Nova ehf. and Sendafélagíð ehf., claiming annulment of a decision of the Competition Authority's Appeals Committee in case no. 7/2015, as well as Siminn filed a petition against the Post and Telecom Administration, Sýn hf. and Nova ehf., requesting an annulment of a decision of the Post and Telecom Administration no. 14/2014. Sendafélagíð ehf. was also a party to the case proceedings. With the said administrative decisions, the Post and Telecom Administration and the Competition Authority allowed Sýn hf. and Nova ehf. to jointly use their frequency authorization in an operating entity. The joint operations ahve been conducted by Sendafélagíð ehf.

With ruling of the District Court on 1. April 2019, the parties were acquitted of all claims made by Siminn in both court proceedings. Siminn filed an appeal with respect to both court cases to the Landsréttur (the National Court) which upheld the acquittals. Siminn has not sought a leave to appeal to the Supreme Court.

At this time, the Company is unable to estimate any future liabilities or claims that may result from the above legal procedures, partially because it can take extensive amount of time before these cases will be concluded, as well as the fact that they could go into any different directions going forward. Therefore, the company has not accounted any liabilities or claims in this regards in its Interim Financial Statement.

11. Other matters continued.:

The emphasis of the Company's management in the COVID-19 epidemic has been to ensure the safety of employees and its customers as well as to ensure that there is no disruption to the operation and maintenance of important infrastructure. The impact of the COVID-19 epidemic on the Group's operations and cash flow in the first nine months of the year is seen in declining revenues from advertising and roaming. Advertising revenue increased in June, after the first wave of the pandemic, and have been in some balance since then, but it is clear that there will be a decline in advertising revenues between years.

Roaming revenue has significantly decreased since the beginning of the pandemic, or by 76%. This decrease can be attributed to travel restrictions. There is a considerable uncertainty in this income stream throughout the year and it is likely that income from this item will be insignificant in the fourth quarter. Its impact on the Company's gross profit for 2020 could amount to up to 200 ISK mill. Demand for the Company's telecommunications, technology and television services has for the most part remained strong so far. If there will be a long-term recession in the economy, it is unclear what effect this will have on other sources of revenue than those mentioned above, as well as developments in the retail and corporate markets. It is likely that the epidemic will lead to payment difficulties for some of the Company's customers, the Company has been working to find solutions with its customers in that regard. The Company bears part of its costs in foreign currency, most significantly related to broadcasting license and license fees related to the telecommunications system. The weakening of the ISK has therefore had a considerable effect on the increase in the Company's operating costs, and it can be assumed that this effect will weigh more heavily in the fourth quarter of the year. The Company's management has taken various rationalization measures to minimize this effect on the Company's operations and cash flow, but given the uncertainty that exists due to the epidemic, it is not possible to fully assess what the effects will be in the short and long term.
