Chairman's Statement
Dear Valued Shareholders,
It gives me a great pleasure to present the financial statements
of daVictus Plc (the "Company" or "daVictus") for year ended 31
December 2016 on behalf of the Board of Directors.
Throughout 2016, the Company aimed to identify target companies
or businesses in the food and beverages ("F&B") sector - which
operate in or own Western food and beverage F&B eatery
franchises in South East Asia and/or the Far East.
The Directors have carried out a comprehensive and thorough
investment review of a number of prospective franchises in the
F&B sector with high growth prospects, none of which has met
the necessary criteria for selection to date.
While we continue our efforts to identify targets for
acquisition, the Company has funds sufficient for general corporate
purposes and pre-acquisition activities, including on-going costs
and expenses such as Directors' fees and salaries, due diligence
costs and other costs of sourcing, reviewing and pursuing
Acquisitions.
I look forward to the year ahead with gratitude to our support
from shareholders.
Abd Hadi Bin Abd Majid
Chairman
Operational and Financial Review
During the year, several opportunities were presented to the
Company and were either actively reviewed or quickly rejected for
not meeting our selection criteria. Examples of those we
investigated are as below:
-- F&B company based in South East Asia was presented to the
Company for acquisition consideration. However, following an
extensive review, the Company did not make an offer as it was
considered overvalued.
-- Reputable international F&B chain approached the Company
about the a joint venture opportunities. These ideas were very
early stage and are still under consideration.
-- Expresso Bar Chain is looking for expansion in China,
Discussion is now going on whether it would be a possibility of
joint venture/ or Master franchise rights.
-- European restaurant chain was considering overseas expansion
and they are looking for an operator with a good track record. In
the end, the restaurant chain decided that the Company does not
meet their requirements.
daVictus is still at an early stage of its investment period,
initially set at three years. The Directors believe that the
initial investment period should be sufficient but if no suitable
opportunities can be consummated in that timeframe, , there will be
a requirement for the investment period to be extended. The Company
is flexible in its approach but will proceed only with
opportunities that are of sufficient quality
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company does not enter at present into any forward exchange
rate contracts or any other hedging arrangements. The main
financial risks arising from the Company's activities are cash flow
interest rate risk, liquidity risk, price risk (fair value) and
credit risk. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing
each of these risks and they are summarised as:
Cash flow interest rate risk - the Company's exposure to the
risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the
Company's overdraft accounts with major banking institutions.
The Company's policy is to manage its interest income, when
received, using a mixture of fixed and floating rate deposit
accounts.
Liquidity risk - the Company raises funds as required on the
basis of budgeted expenditure and inflows. When funds are sought,
the Company balances the costs and benefits of equity and debt
financing. When funds are received they are deposited with banks of
high standing in order to obtain market interest rates.
Price risk - the carrying amount of the following financial
assets and liabilities are approximate to their fair value due to
their short term nature: cash accounts, accounts receivable and
accounts payable.
Credit risk - with respect to credit risk arising from other
financial assets of the Company, which comprise cash and time
deposits and accounts receivable, the Company's exposure to credit
risk arises from default of the counterparty, with a minimum
exposure equal to the carrying amount of these instruments. The
credit risk on cash is limited as cash is placed with substantial
financial institutions.

The notes to the financial statements form an integral part of
this financial information
1. General information
The Company was incorporated as a public company under the
Companies (Jersey) Law 1991 as amended on 5 February 2015 and had
not commenced substantive operations during the period under
review.
The registered office of the Company is 43/45 La Motte Street,
St. Helier, Jersey JE4 8SD. The Company has been formed to
undertake one or more acquisitions of businesses (either shares or
assets) which operate in or own Australian, European and/or North
American food and beverage ("Western F&B") eatery franchises in
South East Asia and/or the Far East.
The financial information of the Company is presented in British
Pound Sterling ("GBP").
2. Significant accounting policies
a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted for
use by the European Union, and effective, or issued and early
adopted, as at the date of these statements. The financial
statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention
as modified for financial assets carried at fair value.
The comparative financial figures covers the period from
incorporation on 5 February 2015 to 31 December 2015.
b) Going concern
This financial statement has been prepared on a going concern
basis, which assumes that the Company will continue to be able to
meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable
future.
3. Income tax
The Company is not a "Financial Services Company" registered
under the relevant Jersey laws; or a specified utility company and
therefore it is subject to Jersey income tax at the general rate of
0 per cent. If the Company derives any income from Jersey property,
including development of land or quarrying, such income will be
subject to tax at the rate of 20 per cent. It is not expected that
the Company will derive any such income.
4. Loss per share
The calculation of loss per share is based on the following loss
and number of shares:
2016 2015
Loss for the year from continuing
operations (GBP) 223,314 221,220
Weighted average shares in
issue (unit) 9,232,877 791,667
Loss per share (GBP per share) GBP0.02 GBP0.28
---------- --------
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the loss for the
year from continuing operations of the Company by the weighted
average number of Ordinary Shares in issue during the year.
There are no potential dilutive shares in issue therefore the
diluted loss per share has not been calculated.

On 5 February 2015, the date of incorporation, the issued share
capital of the Company was GBP2.00 comprising two ordinary shares
of GBP1.00 each in the capital of the Company. The authorised share
capital of the Company (both issued and unissued shares) on
incorporation was 10,000 ordinary shares of GBP1.00 each.
By way of Shareholder written resolutions dated 8 June 2015, the
authorised share capital of the Company (both issued and unissued)
was converted from 10,000 par value shares of GBP1.00 each into an
unlimited number of no par value shares in accordance with the
Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended. Each one par value share
of GBP1.00 in the capital of the Company was converted to one no
par value share, and the Company was authorised to issue an
unlimited number of no par value shares. As a result the two issued
GBP1.00 ordinary shares in the capital of the Company were
converted into two Ordinary Shares of no par value.
On 8 June 2015, the Company issued 1,249,998 new Ordinary Shares
of no par value at GBP0.10 each.
On 20 October 2015, the Company carried out a capital reduction
that reduced its stated capital account by GBP2.00 by special

the Companies (Jersey) Law 1991, as amended.
On 29 January 2016, the Company issued 10,000,000 Ordinary
shares of GBP0.10 each at no par value as part of the Initial
Public Offering of the Company's shares.
