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 25(th) 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 25(th) 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.

Company's strategies and the potential for those strategies to
succeed. The IMR should not be relied on by any other party or for
any other purpose.
