It is in the Board of Director’s opinion that use of pro-forma numbers for 2017 is a representative way of showing Point Resources’ underlying performance for 2017. The Consolidated Financial Statements prepared according to IFRS are based on the completion date 1 November 2017, and numbers for 2017 in this section may therefore differ from the Consolidated Financial Statements.
