Year End Financial Accounts
Fandango Holdings plc, the investment company focused on the industrial and services sectors, is pleased to provide its financial accounts for the year end 31 August 2019.
STRATEGIC REPORT
Principal activity and fair review of the business
For the year to 31 August 2019, the Company's results include the running costs of the Company and listing fees on the London Stock Exchange standard segment. The Company’s shares remain suspended.
Since February 2018 Fandango has made loans to Stranger Holdings PLC which were advanced during the previous accounting period and which attract interest at 10% per month (to 25 May 2018: 5% per month) and are repayable upon the relisting of Stranger Holdings PLC. The amount of the loan outstanding at the year-end was £106,550 and the maximum amount outstanding was £141,000. At the year-end accrued interest amounted to £197,227. The current balance outstanding, at the date of this report, excluding interest is £106,550.
The future
The directors continue to investigate a number of opportunities for a suitable investment for the Company and looks forward to updating the market in due course.

Going Concern
As stated in note 2 to the financial statements, the Directors and James Longley, a shareholder, have offered letters of support confirming that they will provide such additional working capital as necessary to enable the Company to meet all of its debts as and when they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2019
1 General information
Fandango Holdings PLC (‘the Company’) is an investment company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The address of the registered office is disclosed on the company information page at the front of the annual report. The Company was incorporated and registered in England on 25 August 2016 as a private limited company and re-registered as a public limited company on 8 May 2017.
2 Accounting policies
2.1. Basis of Accounting
This financial information has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including IFRIC interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) as adopted by the European Union and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
These policies have been consistently applied.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 3. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Although these estimates are based on management’s experience and knowledge of current events and actions, actual results may ultimately differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
a) Going concern
These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company is a going concern. When assessing the foreseeable future, the Directors have looked at a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of this report and have looked at the adequacy of funds required as well as working capital requirements of the Company.
The Directors and James Longley, a shareholder, have offered letters of support confirming that they will provide such additional working capital as necessary to enable the Company to meet all of its debts as and when they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements. On this basis 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 financial statements.
b) New and amended standards adopted by the Company
There are no IFRSs or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time for the financial year beginning that would be expected to have a material impact on the Company.
c) Standards, interpretations and amendments to published standards that are not yet effective
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations have been issued, but are not effective for the financial period beginning 1 September 2018 and have not been early adopted. The Directors anticipate that the adoption of these standard and the interpretations in future period will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company.

2.2 Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Other receivables
Other receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Subsequent to the initial recognition, other receivables are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Expected credit losses are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of financial asset and the estimated future cash flows, discounted where the effect of discounting is material.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprised of cash at bank and in hand.
Fair values
The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities such as cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables of the Company at the statement of financial position date approximated their fair values, due to relatively short-term nature of these financial instruments.
Other payables
Other payables are initially recognised at fair value and thereafter stated in amortised cost.
2.3 Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new ordinary shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
2.4 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
There is no tax payable as the Company has made a taxable loss for the year. Taxable loss differs from net loss as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because it excludes items of income and expense that are taxable or deductible in other years, and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences.
Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from goodwill or from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognised to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilise the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current or deferred tax for the year is recognised in profit or loss, except when it relates to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
3 Critical accounting estimates and judgments
The Company makes certain judgements and estimates which affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities. Critical judgements and the assumptions used in calculating estimates are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, which are described above, the Directors do not believe that they have had to make any assumptions or judgements that would have a material effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information.
4 Financial risk management
The Company’s activities may expose it to some financial risks. The Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial performance.
a) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The responsibility for liquidity risks management rest with the Board of Directors, which has established appropriate liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Company’s short term and long-term funding risks management requirements. During the period under review, the Company has not utilised any borrowing facilities. The Company manages liquidity risks by maintaining adequate reserves by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows, and by matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.
b) Capital risk
The Company takes great care to protect its capital investments. Significant due diligence is undertaken prior to making any investment. The investment is closely monitored.

The Company has estimated excess management expenses of £421,040 (2018: £347,086) available for carry forward against future trading profits.
The tax losses have resulted in a deferred tax asset at a rate of 17% (2018 – 19%) of approximately £71,577 (2018: £65,000) which has not been recognised in the financial statements due to the uncertainty of the recoverability of the amount.

Due to the loss in the periods, the effect of the warrants was considered anti-dilutive and hence no diluted loss per share information has been provided
The number of shares on a diluted basis relates to the issue of 25,000,000 warrants to the Directors which confers the right but not the obligation to subscribe in cash for up to 25,000,000 £0.01p Ordinary Shares at the subscription price.
9 Capital risk management
The Directors’ objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. At the date of this financial information, the Company had been financed by the introduction of capital. In the future the capital structure of the Company is expected to consist of borrowings and equity attributable to equity holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves

(‘Konnect’ or the ‘Acquisition’), a Canadian fintech company focused on the mobile payment sector.

Interim Report
/Fandango Holdings plc / Index: LSE / Epic: FHP / Sector: Investment
Fandango Holdings plc ("Fandango" or the "Company")
Interim Report
For the Period Ended 28 February 2018
Chairman’s Report
Fandango 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.
Pursuant to the foregoing, the directors were pleased to announce on 25th May 2018 that it had signed a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire the entire issued share capital of two limited liability companies, Corporate Commercial Collections Limited and Vatbridge Limited and other related and associated companies (together, the “Potential Targets”) in exchange for the issue and allotment of 908,378,000 new ordinary shares in the Company, in addition to other consideration (the “Acquisition”). The Potential Targets operate in the factoring and finance service sector. The Acquisition, if completed, would result in Fandango shareholders having a minority interest in the enlarged group (the "Group").
The directors are pleased to have agreed heads of terms with the management for the acquisition of these highly profitable and rapidly growing businesses, which operate in the factoring and financial services sector. Fandango has sufficient cash resources to complete the transaction without the need for an equity raise.
The Acquisition is subject, inter alia, to the completion of due diligence, documentation and compliance with all regulatory requirements, including the Listing and Prospectus Rules and, as required, the Takeover Code. The Acquisition, if it proceeds, will constitute a Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules since, inter alia, in substance it will result in a fundamental change in the business of the issuer. As the Acquisition will constitute a Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules, the Company requested that the listing in the Company's ordinary shares be suspended pending the publication of a prospectus and the application for the enlarged Company to have its Ordinary Shares admitted to the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.
The Company is working on the preparation of a prospectus in relation to the Acquisition and will, in due course, be making application for the enlarged Company to have its Ordinary Shares admitted to the Official List and to trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock Exchange.
Results for the period
For the period from 1 September 2017 to 28 February 2018, 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 or whether the Company will be able to complete the acquisition of Corporate Commercial Collections Limited and Vatbridge Limited and related and associated companies.
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.
Post Balance Sheet Events
On 25th May 2018 the Company announced it had signed a non-binding letter of intent ("LOI") to acquire the entire issued share capital of two limited liability companies, Corporate Commercial Collections Limited and Vatbridge Limited and other related and associated companies in exchange for the issue and allotment of 908,378,000 new ordinary shares in the Company, in addition to other consideration.

Fandango Holdings Plc first day of dealings
/Fandango Holdings plc, is pleased to announce the successful placing of 84,000,000 new ordinary shares of £0.001 each in the Company (the ‘Placing’) and the admission of its entire share capital, being 134,002,000 ordinary shares of £0.001 each (‘Ordinary Shares’), to the Official List of the UKLA by way of a standard listing under Chapter 14 of the UKLA's Listing Rules and to trading on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities (the ‘Admission’). The Company has raised gross proceeds of £840,000 under a Placing, which will be used to facilitate its acquisition strategy including due diligence, sourcing, reviewing and pursuing acquisitions, as well as on-going costs. Alfred Henry Corporate Finance Limited (‘Alfred Henry’) is financial adviser to the Company.
The Company has been formed to undertake an acquisition of a UK company or business with expected target value of between £1m and £20m. Fandango will seek primarily to invest in businesses in the industrial, including the energy sector, and service sectors and would consider, inter alia, horizontal and vertically integrated business related thereto which may be classified as general industrial or service industries. For example, the Company may seek to acquire businesses such as suppliers to energy companies, alternative energies, green energies, waste to energy and other emerging and advanced technologies in connection therewith. There are many opportunities to acquire businesses in the industrial and service sectors. All sub-sectors of those classifications will be considered. Following completion of an acquisition, the objective of the Company will be to operate the acquired business and implement an operating strategy with a view to generating value for its shareholders through operational improvements as well as potentially through additional complementary acquisitions. Furthermore, the Company may seek to build a conglomerate that is made up of a number of different, seemingly unrelated, businesses, whereby it would own a controlling stake in a number of companies, which conduct business separately but taken together would provide financial and operational leverage.
The leadership team, headed by Timothy Cottier (aged 62), Chief Executive Officer an FCA Chartered Accountant who has spent many years in the corporate finance, real estate and green energy sectors, is equipped with the experience and knowledge to effectively and sustainably scale companies, both operationally and in valuation. He is joined by Chairman Charles Tatnall (aged 53), who has sourced, initiated, managed and floated a number of listed companies both on the London Stock Exchange and other international markets including the TSX and NASDAQ.
Admission became effective at 8:00am today and dealings in the Ordinary Shares on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities have commenced under the ticker symbol 'FHP'.
Copies of the Prospectus published by the Company relating to the Admission are available on the Company’s website at www.fandangoholdingsplc.com. Hard copies will also be available at the registered office of the Company, 27-28 Eastcastle Street, London, W1W 8DH and at the FCA's Document Storage Mechanism at www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/NSM.
Fandango CEO Tim Cottier said, “There are multiple businesses that would benefit from additional finance, an LSE listing and our team’s collective experience. We have a huge amount of experience in identifying, structuring and advising growth businesses and believe that we can rapidly find the right match where we can assist in executing operational improvements and build value for all stakeholders. With this in mind, we are pleased to be listing on the LSE and will look to provide the market with updates in due course.”
