CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

March 2024 5/67
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
Outlook in 2024
Production rates for 2023 were 3,500 – 4,000 barrels of oil per day which was in line with Atlantic
Petroleum’s expectations. This provided the company with steady cashflow throughout the year, and
the last payment relating to a UK abandonment liability was paid in February 2024.
Atlantic Petroleum receives a 2% revenue share in deferred consideration from the Orlando field
production up to the first 5MM barrels of Orlando production. Thereafter the deferred consideration
increases to 4.35% of the sales proceeds. The deferred consideration receivable is now valued at
DKK 24.7MM.
The expectation is that the Orlando field will continue to produce at stable rates in 2024.
However, looking at the production profile of Orlando and the current reserves estimates, it is unlikely
that the Orlando revenue share can cover the total debt of the company and this in turn will make it
very difficult to raise any additional funds to grow the company.
Therefore, the Board will immediately take up negotiations with the creditors on an agreement
reducing the overall debt significantly. Unless this is achieved it is unlikely that the company can
continue as a going concern. The board has set a deadline for achieving a debt solution during the
course of 2024 and will update the market accordingly.
For this reason, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
In the event that no debt solution is achieved in 2024, and the Group is therefore unable to continue as
a going concern, downward adjustments would be required to the fair value of the Group’s economic
interest in the Orlando asset to present the value of the asset on a break up basis.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S STATEMENT
The Orlando field production initially commenced in March 2019. Production proved significantly lower
than the expected. Therefore expected cashflow did not materialise. Further challenges and
production issues delayed production in 2022, however the Orlando field is now producing.
The year 2023 was the first year with stable production from the Orlando field
The overhead costs remain at a very low-cost base. General and administration costs in 2023 were
DKK 2.3MM which is slightly higher than the general and administration cost in 2022 of DKK 1.6MM.
The main focus is to get a solution on the bank debt from Betri Banki and the convertible debt from
London Oil and Gas in Administration.
The Group has prepared financial projections for 2024 to quantify available cash to meet the Group’s
general and administrative costs, interest costs and working capital commitments. The Group expects
to be cash flow positive in 2024.
The deferred consideration receivable is now valued at DKK 24.7MM. Further details on the deferred
consideration receivable from the sale of Orlando is included in note 19 to the consolidated accounts.
There is uncertainty regarding the going concern status of the Group. The ability of the Group to
continue as a going concern is dependent on a debt solution on the bank debt and the convertible
debt. Although the outcome on a potential debt solution is uncertain, the Board believes that a solution
is possible. For this reason, the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
In the event that no debt solution is achieved in 2024, and the Group is therefore unable to continue as
a going concern, downward adjustments would be required to the fair value of the Group’s economic
interest in the Orlando asset to present the value of the asset on a break up basis.

OUTLOOK
Production from the Orlando field is expected to produce stable cash flow in 2024 to further efforts to refinance
the Company. A solution on the bank debt and the convertible loan facility from London Oil and Gas in
Administration is the main priority in 2024.
Production albeit lower than initially expected is now generating cash to Atlantic Petroleum. Orlando was
expected to deliver around 10,000 bopd when developed, but actual production has been lower. Following a
successful workover production recommenced in Q3 2022 and the production has been stable since, and is
expected to be remain stable in 2024.
Pending a debt solution, the Group will be actively pursuing growth through participation in production or near
production assets in low political risk countries in the Northern Hemisphere.

Financial Review
Going Concern
It was advised on the 22nd of March 2019 that LOG, the group’s main lender, had entered into administration
and would not advance further funds under the facility agreement. The terms of the LOG facility restrict the
Group from seeking alternate funding means, however these restrictions were lifted by LOG’s administrators.
Atlantic Petroleum secured a bridging loan of DKK 7.5MM in March 2022, and repayments commenced during
2023, continuing during 2024. Repayments of the LOG facility commenced in 2023, continuing during 2024.
The projected royalty receipts are forecast to be insufficient to meet the Group’s liabilities in full. Accordingly,
the Board is of the opinion that a debt restructuring is necessary to address the deficiency in shareholders’
funds. Discussions have taken place over several years, however, no agreement has been reached, and there
is no certainty that a debt restructuring can be achieved.
Repayments to the company’s creditors continue during 2024, however, there are no formal agreements in
place to restructure the debt and revise the terms of the original Agreements. Dialogue with LOG and Betri
Banki is ongoing and although the outcome is uncertain, the Directors believe that there remains a possibility
that the debt can be restructured to enable the company to meet its liabilities. For this reason, and given the
continuing repayment of liabilities, forecast to continue during 2024 based on continuing royalty receipts, the
accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Accordingly, there is material uncertainty regarding the going concern status of the Group. The ability of the
Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on a debt restructuring, and ongoing production from the
Orlando field.
In the event that a debt restructuring cannot be agreed, and the Group is unable to continue to trade, significant
downward adjustments would be required to the fair value of the Group’s economic interest in the Orlando
asset to present the value of the asset on a break up basis.

Risk Management
Evident from the preceding pages of this year’s report, the challenges seen since 2015 have resulted in a
stronger basis from which the Group can operate. However, this is clouded by the status of London Oil and
Gas and its ability to honour its funding commitments. The Board will pursue an alternative arrangement to fill
the future funding requirements alongside projected revenues in order to protect shareholder value.
Atlantic Petroleum is typically exposed to a number of different market and operational risks arising from core
business activities. The risks can be internal as well as external in nature.
Market risks also include changes in currency exchange rates and interest rates. The changes can affect the
value of the assets, liabilities and future cash flows.
Foreign currency
The Group reports in DKK, which means exchange rate exposure related to USD, GBP and EUR. Operational
currency risks relate to oil sales, gas sales and operating costs. On the investment side, the Group is also
exposed to fluctuations in USD, GBP and EUR exchange rates as the Group’s most material investments in
oil and gas assets are made in these currencies.
Credit risk
Where Atlantic Petroleum has sums deposited in short-term bank accounts in USD, GBP, and DKK there may
be a currency and a credit risk attached to such cash balances (bank deposits).
Operational risk
Through its core business Atlantic Petroleum may become exposed to operational risk including the possibility
that the Group may experience, among other things, a loss in oil and gas production or an offshore catastrophe.
The Company works with and will monitor operators and partners to ensure that HSE and asset integrity are
given the highest priority. The Group also has an insurance programme in place to cover the potential impact
of any catastrophic events.
Atlantic Petroleum has traditionally operated in the, United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and the political
climate in these countries is perceived as being stable.
Insurance
The Group had in place an insurance package covering equipment, subsurface facilities and operation and as
and when required, the Group had insurance cover on offshore pollution and third party liability.
In view of the Company having relinquished its last operational license in the UK and as the licenses in Irish
waters are not yet subject to appraisal or development the Company has, as a cost reducing level and based
on advice, decided to suspend the above elements of its programme.
The Company does however continue to hold coverage that includes business interruption coverage, covering
a proportion of the cash flow arising from revenue producing fields.
The Group is confident that its insurance policies cover the overall insurance requirement of the current
business and provides insurance cover for the Group’s general and standard risk exposure in relation to
property damage, personal injury and liability.

A summary of Atlantic Petroleum’s non-compliance procedure and recommendations are stated
below. Further information is available on the Company’s website, www.petroleum.fo
Openness and Transparency
Information and publication of information:
Because of the Group’s international operations, all information is published in English and, where required,
Faroese.
Retirement Age
The Supervisory Board has not found it necessary to lay down a retirement age for the Supervisory Board
members. The annual report contains information about the age of the Supervisory Board members.
Election Period
The members of the Supervisory Board are elected for 1 year at a time. Re-election is allowed. For the time
being there is no limit of how often Board members can be re-elected.
REMUNERATION OF THE MEMBERS OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD AND THE EXECUTIVE BOARD:
Whilst the undernoted Group remuneration policies remain, they were in effect suspended throughout most of
2023 given the market conditions, the challenges facing the Group and the downsizing activities undertaken.
The key actions on remuneration in 2023 were, where-ever possible, to freeze management and staff salaries
and board fees, make no bonus award nor make any LTIP awards for 2023. Towards the end of 2022
remuneration of Board members was re-instated.
Remuneration Policy
Remuneration to the members of the Supervisory Board and the Executive Board is on the same level as
comparable companies in order to attract, retain and motivate the members of the Supervisory Board.
Remuneration Policy for Senior Executives of Atlantic Petroleum
Overall Aim
The aim of Atlantic Petroleum’s (the “Company”) Remuneration Policy for senior executives is to provide a
reward framework which ensures that key executives are appropriately attracted, retained and motivated and
which is fit for purpose in the markets in which the Company operates and where it and its peer groups are
listed.
Remuneration Strategy
The Company’s remuneration strategy is to provide a competitive remuneration package which rewards
Directors and employees fairly and responsibly for their contributions and aims to deliver superior remuneration
for superior performance.
The total reward package will consist of elements such as Salary, Annual Performance Bonuses, Long Term
Incentives and Pension Contributions and Other Benefits.
The guiding principles behind the setting and implementation of this policy are that:
Balanced
There should be an appropriate balance between fixed and performance-related elements and the provision
of equity over the longer-term and which focuses executives on delivering the business strategy;
Competitive
Remuneration packages should be sufficiently competitive taking into account the level of remuneration paid
in respect of comparable positions in similar companies within the industry;
DIRECTORS’ REPORT - CONTINUED
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 19/67
Equitable
There should be an appropriate level of gearing in the package to ensure that executives receive an
appropriate proportion of the value created for shareholders while taking into account pay and conditions
throughout the remainder of the Group and where the Company operates and is listed;
Risk-weighted
Remuneration should not raise environmental, social or governance risks by inadvertently motivating
irresponsible behaviour. More generally, the overall remuneration policy should not encourage inappropriate
operational risk; and
Aligned
Executives will be encouraged to build a meaningful holding in the Company to further align their interests with
those of shareholders.
The Remuneration Committee will review on an annual basis whether its remuneration policy remains
appropriate for the relevant financial year. Factors taken into account by the Remuneration Committee will
include:
• overall corporate performance;
• market conditions affecting the Company;
• the recruitment market in the Company’s sector;
• changing market practice; and
• changing views of institutional shareholders and their representative bodies.
Base Salary
One salaried staff was employed
Annual Performance Bonus
No bonuses were paid for the 2023 Financial Year.
Long Term Incentive Plans
No Longterm Incentive Plans existed during the 2023 Financial Year
Share Based Payments
No Share Based payments were made during the 2023 Financial Year
Additional Benefits
No additional benefits were applied during the 2023 Financial Year.
Non-Executive Directors Fees
The Non-Executive Director (“NED”) fees will be structured as follows:
• A base fee will be paid for carrying out day to day duties as an NED; and
• Additional fees will be provided for extra responsibilities, for example chairing the Audit, Nominations
or Remuneration committees.
Fees should be sufficiently competitive taking into account the level of remuneration paid to Non-Executives
in similar companies within the industry.
These policies were implemented in 2012 but are currently not active.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 21/67
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Shareholders of P/F Atlantic Petroleum
Report on the Audit of Consolidated financial statements and parent company financial
statements.
We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements of P/F
Atlantic Petroleum, for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Income statement, Statement
of comprehensive income, Statement of changes in equity, Cash flow statement and the related notes,
including a summary of significant accounting policies for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2023
in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Faroese
Financial Statements Act.
Collectively referred to as the ‘Financial Statements’.
Qualified opinion on the Consolidated financial statements
In our opinion, the Annual and Consolidated Financial Statement, except for the possible effects of the matter
described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the Consolidated Financial Statements give a
true and fair view of the Group's financial position at 31 December 2023 and of the results of the Group's
operations and cash flows for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2023 in accordance with IFRS
Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU and further requirements in the Faroese Financial Statements
Act.
Our opinion on the parent company Financial Statement
In our opinion, the Parent Company Financial Statements give a true and fair view of the Parent Company's
financial position at 31 December 2023 and of the results of the Parent Company's operations and cash flows
for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2023 in accordance with the Faroese Financial Statements
Act.
Our opinion is consistent with our auditor’s long-form report to the audit committee and the board of directors.
Basis for qualified Opinion
We have been unable to obtain the necessary up to date third party audit evidence to substantiate the
estimates made by the management regarding the deferred consideration receivable held at 31 December
2023, which is included in the balance sheet at 24,7 mDKK and linked to the Production of the Orlando Field.
These estimates have been dislosed in Note 19 and are based on, and consistent with, information disclosed
by the Operator in September 2023. Atlantic Petroleum is no longer a joint venture partner of the Orlando field
and, therefore, management are no longer party to the Operator’s more recent reports and production models
relating to the 2P recoverable reserves and future production profile.
Due to the significant uncertainty based on the significant assumptions made by management, we are unable
to provide an opinion on the deferred consideration receivable on the Orlando field production to state that this
balance is free from material misstatement or represents a true and fair view of the amount recoverable by the
company.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and additional
requirements applicable in the Faroe Islands. Our responsibilities under those standards and requirements are
further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the audit of the Consolidated financial statements and
parent company financial statements section of our report.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 22/67
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants'
International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional ethical
requirements applicable in the Faroe Islands. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in
accordance with these requirements and the IESBA Code.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, prohibited non-audit services referred to in article 5(1) of Regulation
(EU) no 537/2014 were not provided.
Apart from the for possible effects of the matter described above in our “Basis for qualified opinion”, we believe
that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified
opinion.
Material uncertainty regarding Going Concern
We draw attention to note 1.1. in the annual accounts, which indicates that material uncertainty exists that may
cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The projected royalty receipts are forecasted to be insufficient to meet the Group’s liabilities in full and the
Group’s Going Concern status is depending on whether the company can successfully renegotiate the
company’s debts, including a moratorium either alone or in combination with debt relief. The debt negotiations
are not concluded, and there is a material uncertainty relation to these negotiations. Which may cast
considerable doubt on the company’s ability to continue operations.
In forming our opinion, which is not modified, we have considered the adequacy of the disclosures made in
Note 1.1 of the financial statements concerning the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. In view
of the significance of this matter, we consider it should be drawn to your attention, but our opinion is not
modified in this respect.
Independence
We are independent of the Group in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) and the additional requirements in the Faroe
Islands. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code.
Appointment
P/F Januar, løggilt grannskoðanarvirki were first appointed auditors of P/F Atlantic Petroleum May 1st 2013.
We have been reappointed by shareholders on AGMs for an annual engagement every year since.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the Financial Statements for 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Financial
Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these
matters.
During our audit, we identified going concern and valuation of future receivables from sale of Development
facilities as Key Audit Matters.
We have been unable to obtain the necessary up to date third party audit evidence to substantiate the
estimates made by the management regarding the deferred consideration receivable held at 31 December
2023 which is included in the balance sheet at 24,7 mDKK and relates to the production of the Orlando field.
These estimates have been disclosed in note 19 and are based on, and consistent with, information disclosed
by the Operator. Atlantic Petroleum is no longer a joint venture partner of the Orlando field and, therefore,
management are no longer party to the Operator’s recent reports and production models relating to the 2P
recoverable reserves and the future production profile.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 23/67
As we are unable to substantiate the assumptions on which the valuation is based, we are unable to provide
an opinion on the deferred consideration receivable on the Orlando field, included in the line item Other
Receivables and trade and other receivables, and the possible effects hereof.
Our audit has led us to inform of Material uncertainty regarding Going Concern and have found it appropriate
to provide information regarding the material uncertainty for the parent company’s and the Groups ability to
continue as a going concern.
Hence do not provide information regarding Key Audit Matters and refer to the paragraphs “Basis for qualified
opinion” and “Material uncertainty regarding Going Concern” above.
Statement on Management’s Review
Management is responsible for Management’s Review.
Our opinion on the Financial Statements does not cover Management’s Review, and we do not express any
kind of assurance opinion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the Financial Statements, our responsibility is to read Management’s Review
and, in doing so, consider whether Management’s Review is materially inconsistent with the Financial
Statements or our knowledge obtained during our audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
Further it is our responsibility to consider whether the Management’s review provides the information required
under the international Financial Reporting standards as adopted by the EU.
Based on the work we have performed, in our view, Management’s Review is in accordance with the
Consolidated Financial Statements and the Parent Company Financial Statements, except for the possible
effects of our qualification in the paragraph “Basis for qualified opinion” above, and has been prepared in
accordance with the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Management’s responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements that give a true and fair
view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU and further
requirements in the Danish Financial Business Act and for the preparation of Parent Company and Group
Financial Statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with the International Financial Reporting
Standards, 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 Parent 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 Group or
the Parent Company 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 and the additional requirements applicable in the Faroe Islands 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 and the additional requirements applicable in the Faroes Islands,
we exercise professional judgement 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
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 24/67
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.
• 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 Group’s and the Parent Company’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 Group’s and the Parent Company’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 Group or the Parent Company 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 those charged with governance 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 those charged with governance 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 those charged with governance, 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 compliance with the ESEF Regulation
As part of our audit of the Financial Statements we performed procedures to express an opinion on whether
the annual report of P/F Atlantic Petroleum for the financial year 1 January to 31 December 2023 with the
filename 213800K4T6SRZ1RQDO38-2023-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in compliance

Regulation) which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML formal and

March 2024 25/67
• The selection and application of appropriate iXBRL tags, including extensions to the ESEF taxonomy
and the anchoring thereof to elements in the taxonomy, for all financial information required to be
tagged using judgement where necessary;
• Ensuring consistency between iXBRL tagged data and the Consolidated Financial Statements
presented in human readable format; and
• For such internal control as Management determines necessary to enable the preparation of an annual
report that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.
Our responsibility is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the annual report is prepared, in all material
respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained, and to issue a
report that includes our opinion. The nature, timing and extent of procedures selected depend on the auditor’s
judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material departures from the requirements set out in the
ESEG Regulation, whether due to fraud or error. The procedures include:
• Testing whether the annual report is prepared in XHTML format;
• Obtaining an understanding of the company’s iXBRL tagging process and of internal control over the
tagging process;
• Evaluating the completeness of the iXBRL tagging of the Consolidated Financial Statements;
• Evaluating the appropriateness of the company’s use of iXBRL elements selected from the ESEF
taxonomy and the creation of extension elements where no suitable element in the ESEF taxonomy;
and
• Reconciling the iXBRL tagged data with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements.
In our opinion, the annual report of P/F Atlantic Petroleum for the financial year 1 January to 31 December
2023 with the file name 213800K4T6SRZ1RQDO38-2023-12-31-en.zip is prepared, in all material respects, in
compliance with the ESEF Regulation.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 32/67
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
ACCOUNTS
Note 1.1 Going Concern
It was advised on the 22nd of March 2019 that LOG, the group’s main lender, had entered into
administration and would not advance further funds under the facility agreement. The terms of the LOG
facility restrict the Group from seeking alternate funding means, however these restrictions were lifted by
LOG’s administrators. Atlantic Petroleum secured a bridging loan of DKK 7.5MM in March 2022, and
repayments commenced during 2023, continuing during 2024. Repayments of the LOG facility commenced
in 2023, continuing during 2024.
The projected royalty receipts are forecast to be insufficient to meet the Group’s liabilities in full.
Accordingly, the Board is of the opinion that a debt restructuring is necessary to address the deficiency in
shareholders’ funds. Discussions have taken place over several years, however, no agreement has been
reached, and there is no certainty that a debt restructuring can be achieved.
Repayments to the company’s creditors continue during 2024, however, there are no formal agreements in
place to restructure the debt and revise the terms of the original Agreements. Dialogue with LOG and Betri
Banki is ongoing and although the outcome is uncertain, the Directors believe that there remains a possibility
that the debt can be restructured to enable the company to meet its liabilities. For this reason, and given the
continuing repayment of liabilities, forecast to continue during 2024 based on continuing royalty receipts, the
accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis.
Accordingly, there is material uncertainty regarding the going concern status of the Group. The ability of the
Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on a debt restructuring, and ongoing production from the
Orlando field.
In the event that a debt restructuring cannot be agreed, and the Group is unable to continue to trade,
significant downward adjustments would be required to the fair value of the Group’s economic interest in the
Orlando asset to present the value of the asset on a break up basis.
Note 1.2 Corporate information
The consolidated financial statements of the Group, which comprise P/F Atlantic Petroleum, as the parent, and
all its subsidiaries, for the year ended 31

2.1 Basis of preparation
Accounting Convention
The Consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS) as endorsed by the Council of the European Union (EU) and the additional Danish
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS

disclosure requirements according to the Faroese Company Accounts Act, the financial reporting requirements
of NASDAQ OMX Copenhagen for listed companies.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these
consolidated financial statements.
The financial information has been prepared on a historical cost basis and fair value conventions on the basis
of the accounting policies set out below. The consolidated financial statements are presented in DKK and all
values rounded to the nearest thousand, except where otherwise indicated.
Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of P/F Atlantic Petroleum and
entities controlled by P/F Atlantic Petroleum (its subsidiaries) made up at the end of each accounting period.
Control is achieved where P/F Atlantic Petroleum has the power to control the financial and operating policies
of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated income
statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting
policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group.
Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group
transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The interests in the subsidiaries are eliminated with the Parent Company’s proportionate ratio of the fair value
of the subsidiaries assets, liabilities and provisions measured at the date of acquisition or establishment of the
subsidiary.
2.3 Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
Estimation uncertainty
Determining the carrying amount of some assets and liabilities requires estimation of the effects of future
events on those assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.
In the opinion of Atlantic Petroleum’s management, the following estimates and associated judgements are
material for the financial reporting:
• determination of underground oil and gas reserves. The assessment of reserves is a complex process
involving various parameters such as analysis of geological data, commercial aspects, etc., each of which is
subject to uncertainty. The assessment is material to the determination of the recoverable amount and
depreciation profile for oil and gas assets,
• determination of the recoverable amount and depreciation profile for production assets. Determination of the
recoverable amount is based on assumptions concerning future earnings, oil prices, interest rate levels, etc.,
each of which is subject to uncertainty. The depreciation profile has been determined on the basis of the
expected use of the production assets, and is consequently subject to the same risks relating to reserves,
future earnings, etc., as apply to the determination of the value of the production assets,
• determination of the deferred consideration receivable. The assesment is based on a production profile based
on 2P Reserves (Disclosed in Operators Interim 2023 report, dated 18
th
September 2023); and Discount factor
of 10% based on current cost of capital to the Atlantic Petroleum Group.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 34/67
• determination of abandonment obligations. Provisions for abandonment obligations are subject to particular
uncertainty as far as concerns the determination of the costs associated with removal of the production assets,
and the timing of the removal,
• and assessment of contingent liabilities and assets.
The estimates applied are based on assumptions which are sound, in management’s opinion, but which, by
their nature, are uncertain and unpredictable. The assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate and
unforeseen events or circumstances may occur. Moreover, the Atlantic Petroleum Group is subject to risks
and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ from these estimates. Special risks for the Atlantic
Petroleum Group are described in the section Director’s Report under Risk Management.
Assumptions for forward-looking statements and other estimation uncertainties at the balance sheet date that
involve a considerable risk of changes that may lead to a material adjustment in the carrying amount of assets
or liabilities within the coming financial year are disclosed in the notes.
The Group’s intangible exploration and evaluation assets, amounts to DKK 0MM (2022: DKK 0MM) and the
Group’s development and production assets amounts to DKK 0MM at 31
st
December 2023 (2022: DKK 0MM).
The Group’s abandonment obligations as of 31
st
December 2023 amounts to DKK 11.7MM (2022: DKK
11.7MM).
2.4 Summary of significant accounting policies
Interest in Joint Ventures
A joint venture is a contractual arrangement whereby the Group and other parties undertake an economic
activity that is subject to joint control.
Acquisitions of oil and gas properties are accounted for under the purchase method where the transaction
meets the definition of a business combination. Transactions involving the purchases of an individual field
interest, or a group of field interests, that do not qualify as a business combination are treated as asset
purchases, irrespective of whether the specific transactions involved the transfer of the field interests directly
or the transfer of an incorporated entity. Accordingly no goodwill and no deferred tax gross up arises, and the
consideration is allocated to the assets and liabilities purchased on an appropriate basis.
Proceeds on disposal are applied to the carrying amount of the specific exploration and evaluation asset or
development and production asset disposed of and any surplus is recorded as a gain on disposal in the income
statement.
Investments in joint ventures are recognised by proportionate consolidation at the share of the jointly controlled
assets and liabilities, classified by nature, and the share of revenue from the sale of the joint product, along
with the share of the expenses incurred by the jointly controlled operation. Liabilities and expenses incurred in
respect of the jointly controlled operation are also recognised.
Translation of Foreign Currencies
For each individual entity, which is recognised in the consolidated accounts, a functional currency is
determined in which the entity measures its results and financial position. The functional currency is the
currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates. Transactions in other currencies
than the functional currency are transactions in a foreign currency.
A foreign currency transaction is, on initial recognition, recorded in the functional currency, at the spot
exchange rate between the functional currency and the foreign currency on the date of the transaction.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 35/67
At each balance sheet date receivables, payables and other monetary items in foreign currency are translated
to the functional currency using the closing rate.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items, at rates
different from those at which they were translated on initial recognition during the period or in previous financial
statements, shall be recognised in the income statement under financial revenues and expenses.
On consolidation the results and financial position of the Group’s individual entities with different functional
currencies than the Group’s presentation currency (DKK) are translated into the Group’s presentation currency
using the following procedure:
• Assets and liabilities are translated at the closing rate at the date of the balance sheet.
• Income and expenses are translated at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
All resulting exchange differences are recognised directly in equity as a separate component of equity.
For practical reasons an average rate for the period that approximates the exchange rates at the dates of the
transactions is used.
Income Statement
Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the
revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or
receivable, excluding discounts, sales taxes, excise duties and similar levies. The Group assesses its revenue
arrangements against specific criteria in order to determine if it is acting as principal or agent. The Group has
concluded that it is acting as a principal in all of its revenue arrangements.
Sale of hydrocarbons is recognised when transfer of risk to the buyer has taken place. Sale of hydrocarbons
is measured at fair value and represents amounts receivable for goods and services provided in the normal
course of business, net of discounts, VAT and other sales related taxes.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales comprises cost directly related to the operation of oilfields, cost of goods sold, depreciations,
lease payments and other costs related to the operation of producing oil fields. Rentals payable for assets
under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Impairment of development and production assets is also recognised here.
Pre-licence Exploration Cost
Pre-licence exploration expenses comprise cost incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an
area and other general exploration costs which are not specifically directed to a licence and economic use is
of less than a year.
Exploration Expenses
Exploration expenses comprise the cost of the impairment of exploration and evaluation assets and
relinquishment cost.
General and Administration Cost
Administrative expenses comprise employment costs to the management and administration, staff,
depreciations and other costs related to the general administration of the Group.

th
March 2024 36/67
Financial Income and Expenses
Financial income and expenses comprise interests, currency differences, dividend income from investments
and amortisation of financial assets and liabilities.
Taxation
Income tax
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The tax currently
payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income
statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it
further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated
using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of
taxable profit, and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally
recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.
Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from goodwill (or negative
goodwill) or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in
a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries,
and interests in joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary
difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent
that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be
recovered.
Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled
or the asset realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to set off corporation tax
assets against corporation tax liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation
authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Tax is charged or credited in the income statement, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly
to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity.
Statement of Financial Position
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
Items of intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Depreciation is charged to the income statement under General and Administration costs item on a straight-
line basis over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Office equipment 3 – 10 years
Scrap value 0%
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 37/67
The residual value is reassessed annually.
Exploration and Evaluation Assets
The Group applies the successful efforts method of accounting for Exploration and Evaluation (E&E) costs,
having regard to the requirements of IFRS 6 Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral Resources.
Under the successful efforts method of accounting all licence acquisition, exploration and appraisal costs are
initially capitalised at cost in well, field or specific exploration cost centres as appropriate, pending
determination. Expenditure, incurred during the various exploration and appraisal phases, is then written off
unless commercial reserves have been established or the determination process has not been completed.
The amounts capitalised include payments to acquire the legal right to explore, licence fees, cost of technical
services and studies, seismic acquisition, exploratory drilling and testing and other directly attributable cost.
Finance costs that are directly attributable to E&E assets are capitalised in accordance with IAS 23. In the
Parent Company these costs are expensed to the Income Statement.
Cost incurred prior to having obtained the legal rights to explore an area (pre-licence cost) are expensed
directly to the income statement under Pre-licence exploration cost as they have incurred.
E&E assets are not amortised prior to the conclusion of appraisal activities.
Intangible E&E assets related to each exploration licence/prospect are carried forward, until the existence (or
otherwise) of commercial reserves has been determined subject to certain limitations including review for
indications of impairment. Every year or if there otherwise are indications of impairment the assets will be
tested for impairment. Where, in the opinion of the Directors, there is impairment, E&E assets are written down
accordingly, through the Income Statement under Exploration Expenses.
If commercial reserves have been discovered and a field development plan has been approved by the
authorities, the carrying value of the relevant E&E asset is reclassified as a tangible asset, development and
production asset. Before the reclassification the asset will be tested for indications of impairment. If however,
commercial reserves have not been found, the capitalised cost are charged to the profit and loss account
under Exploration Expenses after conclusion of appraisal activities.
Tangible Assets
Development and Production Assets
Development and production assets are accumulated generally on a field by field basis and represent the cost
of developing the commercial reserves discovered and bringing them into production, together with the E&E
expenditures incurred in finding commercial reserves transferred from intangible E&E assets as outlined in the
accounting policy for E&E assets above.
The cost of development and production assets also includes the cost of acquisitions and purchases of such
assets, directly attributable overheads, finance costs capitalised, and the cost of recognising provisions for
future restoration and decommissioning. In the Parent Company finance costs are expensed to the profit and
loss account.
The net book values of producing assets are depreciated generally on a field-by-field basis using the unit-of-
production (UOP) method by reference to the ratio of production in the period and the related commercial
reserves of the field.
An impairment test is performed once a year or whenever events and circumstances arising during the
development or production phase indicate that the carrying value of a development or production asset may
exceed its recoverable amount.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED ACCOUNTS
P/F Atlantic Petroleum Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts 2023 Issued 27
th
March 2024 38/67
The carrying value is compared against the expected recoverable amount of the asset, generally by reference
to the present value of the future net cash flows, derived from expected production of commercial reserves.
An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement under the relevant
item. The cash-generating unit applied for impairment test purposes is generally the field, except that a number
of field interests may be grouped as a single cash-generating unit where the cash flows of each field are
interdependent. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the assets carrying amount does not
exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no
impairment loss had been recognised.
The depreciation and impairment are charged to the Income Statement under Cost of sales.
Decommissioning
Provision for decommissioning is recognised in full when the liability occurs. The amount recognised is the
present value of the estimated future expenditure. A corresponding tangible fixed asset is also created at an
amount equal to the provision. This is subsequently depreciated as part of the capital costs of the production
facilities. Any change in the present value of the estimated expenditure is reflected as an adjustment to the
provision and the fixed asset.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses.
Depreciation is charged to the income statement under General and Administration costs item on a straight-
line basis over the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives are as follows:
Operating assets and office equipment 3 – 10 years.
Scrap value 0%
The residual value is reassessed annually.
Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group’s balance sheet when the Group becomes
a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and other receivables are recognised at amortised costs and are reduced by appropriate allowances for
estimated irrecoverable amounts.
Bank Deposits (Cash and Cash-Equivalents)
Cash and cash equivalent includes cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks with maturity dates of
less than three months.
Equity, Translation Reserve
The translation reserve comprises foreign exchange rate adjustments arising on translation of the financial
statements of foreign entities with a functional currency that is different from the presentation currency (DKK)
of Atlantic Petroleum Group.
Bank Borrowings
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently
stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption
value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowings. Borrowings are classified as

March 2024 39/67
current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12
months after the balance sheet date.
Other Payables
Other payables are stated at their nominal value.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation as a result of a past event and it is probable
that the Group will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at the management’s best
estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, and are discounted to
present value where the effect is material. Included in the item Provisions is provision for decommissioning
costs.
Segment Reporting
In the opinion of the directors the operations of the Group comprise one class of business, the production and
sale of hydrocarbons. Its primary segment reporting will be by geographical region.
Cash Flow Statement
The cash flow statement is prepared according to the indirect method and presents cash flow from operations,
investments and financing activities.
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities are presented using the indirect method, whereby the net profit or loss for
the period is adjusted for the effects of non-cash transactions, accruals, tax-payments and items of income or
expense associated with investing or financing cash flows.
Cash Flow from Investment Activities
Cash flows from investment activities comprises cash flows in conjunction with buying and selling entities and
activities, buying and selling intangible, tangible and other non-current assets and buying and selling securities
which are not recognised as cash and cash equivalents.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities comprise the raising of new share capital and loans, amortisation on loans
and payment of dividends.

Depreciation and amortisation for oil and gas properties is calculated on a unit-of-production basis, using the
ratio of oil and gas production in the period to the estimated quantities of proved and probable reserves at the
end of the period plus production in the period, on a field-by-field basis. Proved and probable reserve estimates
are based on a number of techniques to generate its estimates and regularly references its estimates against
those of joint venture partners or external consultants. However, the amount of reserves that will ultimately be
recovered from any field cannot be known with certainty until the end of the field’s life.

Orlando deferred consideration
Under the Sale and Purchase Agreement regarding Orlando, APNS is due to receive deferred considerations
equalling 2% of the sale proceeds from the first 5,000,000 barrels of Orlando petroleum and an amount
equalling 4.35% of the Orlando petroleum in excess of the first 5,000,000 barrels.
The deferred consideration receivable on the Orlando field is currently valued at DKK 24.7MM.
Reserves are based on the information disclosed by the Operator of the Orlando field in September 2023,
which disclose reserves at 1
st
January 2023.
Based on this, the reserves remaining at 31

December 2023 are estimated to be 2.2 MMBbl.
Production rates are based on a 21% decline profile with initial production at 10,000 bopd, however as a
result of issues with the upper completion, peak rates have been restricted to around 5,000 bopd. A
workover was carried out in the third quarter of 2022. Production has been stable throughout 2023.
Production rates are expected to be 3,500 – 4,000 bopd for the remainder of the year.

23 Provisions for long-term liabilities and charges
The decommissioning provision represents the present value of decommissioning costs relating to the oil and
gas interests, which are expected to be incurred between 2024 and 2031. These provisions have been created
based on operators' estimates. Based on the current economic environment, assumptions have been made
which the management believe are a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the future liability. These
estimates are reviewed regularly to take into account any material changes to the assumptions. However,
actual decommissioning costs will ultimately depend upon future market prices for the necessary
decommissioning works required, which will reflect market conditions at the relevant time.
Furthermore, the timing of decommissioning is likely to depend on when the fields cease to produce at
economically viable rates. This in turn will depend upon future oil and gas prices, which are inherently
uncertain.
24 Financial instruments
The Group's activities expose it to financial risks of changes, primarily in oil and gas prices, but also foreign
currency exchange and interest rates.
