At the end of the second quarter, the Company’s cash balance was $73.3 million. The Company remains in compliance with its financial covenants.

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2011
Note 1 – General information
DHT Holdings, Inc. (“DHT” or the “Company”) is a limited company incorporated under the laws of the Marshall Islands whose shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company’s principal executive office is located at 26 New Street, St Helier, Jersey, Channel Islands.
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.

- 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

Consequently, the Company has one operating segment as defined in IFRS 8, Operating Segments. The Company’s vessels carry crude oil only. The Company’s management manages the Company’s operations as one business segment.
