Fandango Holdings Plc ("Fandango" or the "Company")

 

Interim Report

for the Period Ended 28 February 2019

 

Chairman's Report

 

Fandango Holdings Plc is an investment company incorporated on 25 August 2016, with the original primary objective of undertaking a single acquisition of a target company, business or asset in the industrial or service sector.

 

As reported in the accounts for the year ended 31 August 2018 dated 24 April 2019, the Company had announced in December 2018 that it had signed a non-binding Heads of Terms agreement to acquire the entire issued share of Konnect Mobile Communications Inc.  Fandango is no longer in discussions with Konnect following the failure to raise the required initial funding for the Acquisition.  The Company has incurred nominal costs during the due diligence process.

 

Fandango continues to review other acquisition opportunities and will look to provide the market with updates in due course.

 

Results for the period

For the period from 1 September 2018 to 28 February 2019, the Company's results included the ongoing running costs of the Company including listing fees on the London Stock Exchange and other advisory costs.

 

Risks and uncertainties

The Company is a relatively new entity, with only a brief operating history, and therefore, investors have no basis on which to evaluate the Company's ability to achieve its objective of identifying, acquiring and operating one or more companies or businesses.

 

Going Concern

As stated in Note 1 to the condensed financial statements, the directors are satisfied that the Company has sufficient resources to continue in operation for the foreseeable future, a period of not less than 12 months from the date of this report. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed financial statements.

 

 

Responsibility Statement

We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:

 

(a)  the condensed set of financial statements has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting';

(b)  the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.7R (indication of important events during the first six months and description of principal risks and uncertainties for the remaining six months of the year; and

(c)  the interim management report includes a fair review of the information required by DTR 4.2.8R (disclosure of related parties' transactions and changes therein).

 

Cautionary statement
