Independent Auditors’ Review Report on the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the 6 month period ended 30 June 2015
To the General Shareholders Meeting and Supervisory Board of Arctic Paper S.A.
1. We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Arctic Paper S.A. Capital Group (‘the Group’) where Arctic Paper S.A. is the dominant entity (‘the Company’), and is located at Jana Henryka Dąbrowskiego 334A in Poznań, including the interim condensed consolidated balance sheet as at 30 June 2015, the interim condensed consolidated income statement, the interim condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the interim condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity, the interim condensed consolidated cash flow statement for the period from 1 January 2015 to 30 June 2015 and other explanatory notes (‘the interim condensed consolidated financial statements’).
2. The Company’s Management Board is responsible for the compliance of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements’ with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 “Interim financial reporting” as adopted by the European Union (‘IAS 34’). Our responsibility was to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based, on our review.
3. We conducted our review in accordance with the provisions of the law binding in Poland and National Auditing Standards issued by the National Council of Statutory Auditors in Poland. These standards require that we plan and perform our review to obtain moderate assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The review was mainly based on applying analytical procedures to the financial data, inspection of accounting records and discussions with the management of the Company as well as its employees. The scope[1] (http://#_ftn1) of a review differs significantly from an audit of financial statements, the objective of which is to express an opinion on whether financial statements comply with the required applicable accounting policies, and on the truth and fairness[2] (http://#_ftn2) of these financial statements. Consequently, the review does not enable us to obtain sufficient 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.
4. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are not in accordance, in all material respects, with IAS 34.
