DHT Holdings, Inc. Reports First Quarter 2011 Results And Declares Quarterly Dividend Of $0.10 Per Share

Note 2 – General accounting principals

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements do not include all information and disclosure required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with DHT’s audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 20-F for 2010.

The condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS”).

The condensed financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for derivative financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The accounting policies that have been followed in these condensed financial statements are the same as presented in the 2010 audited consolidated financial statements.

The Board confirms that these interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

Changes in accounting policy and disclosure

New and amended standards, and interpretations mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 January 2011 but not currently relevant to the group (although they may affect the accounting for future transactions and events). The adoption did not have any effect on the financial statements;

	●		Revised IAS 24 (revised), ‘Related party disclosures’, issued in November 2009. Effective 1 January 2011.
	●		Classification of rights issues’ (amendment to IAS 32), issued in October 2009. The amendment applies to annual periods beginning on or after 1 February 2010.
	●		IFRIC 19, ‘Extinguishing financial liabilities with equity instruments’, effective 1 July 2010.
	●		Prepayments of a minimum funding requirement’ (amendments to IFRIC 14). The amendments correct an unintended consequence of IFRIC 14, ‘IAS 19 – The limit on a defined benefit asset, minimum funding requirements and their interaction’.
	●		Annual Improvements project, The improvement project is an annual project that provides a mechanism for making necessary but non urgent amendments in several standards.

Note 3 – Segment reporting

Since DHT’s business is limited to operating a fleet of crude oil tankers, management has organized the entity as one segment based upon on the service provided. Consequently, the Company has one operating segment as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The Company’s vessels carry crude oil only and the vessels that are chartered to OSG are chartered to companies incorporated in the Marshall Islands.
