Aqua Bio Technology ASA (ABT) has received notice of decision by the Financial
Supervisory Authority of Norway (Finanstilsynet) dated 17 January, 2019, related
to the valuation of the Company's inventory and patents.

Finanstilsynet has notified ABT that it will order the Company to write down the
inventory to NOK 0 per 31 December, 2018 as per the regulations in IAS 2, and
also to rectify the valuation of the inventory in accordance with IAS 8.
Furthermore, Finanstilsynet orders ABT to estimate the recoverable value of its
patents per 31 December, 2018, in accordance with IAS 38 and IAS 36.

ABT acknowledges receipt of the notice and will within the reply deadline set by
Finanstilsynet to 7 February 2020 revert to Finanstilsynet with the Company's
view on the announced order to write down the inventory to NOK 0 per 31
December, 2018.

The Company has decided to write down the inventory to NOK 0 per 31 December,
2019. It is the Company's opinion that the value is potentially higher but as
sales volumes are low, the value will be set to NOK 0 in accordance with good
accounting practice.
