Marine Farms ASA`s operation in Belize continues to generate negative results,
mainly due to the delays in the production of juveniles. Significant capital has
been invested in the development of this business and a preliminary assessment
indicates impairment of approximately NOK 35 million in the consolidated
accounts Q2 2010.


Marine Farms ASA is currently reviewing a number of options, including the
possibilities of selling its business in Belize.
