Papillon Holdings Plc
('Papillon' or 'the Company')
Final results
Papillon, the LSE listed investment company, is pleased to announce its
final results for the year ended 31 December 2016.
Chairman's Report
Papillon Holdings PLC ("the Company") is an investment company
incorporated on 19 October 2015, with the primary objective of
undertaking a single acquisition of a target company, business or asset
in the industrial or service sectors
In compliance with the strategy of the Directors, as described in its
admission document, on 9 September 2016, the Directors announced that it
had signed a non-binding Heads of Terms to acquire the entire issued
share capital of myclubbetting.com Limited ("MCB"}, a specialised
betting and gaming related business, for new shares in the Company (the
"Acquisition"). The Acquisition, if completed, would result in Papillon
shareholders having a minority interest in the enlarged group (the
"Group").
The Acquisition is subject and continues to be 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. As the Acquisition will constitute a
Reverse Takeover under the Listing Rules, the listing in the Company's
ordinary shares were suspended, and continue to be suspended pending the
publication of a prospectus and the application for the enlarged Company
to have its Ordinary Shares readmitted to the Official List and to
trading on the main market for listed securities of the London Stock
Exchange.
On 20 December 2016, the Directors announced that further to the initial
announcement of the reverse takeover of the Acquisition on 9 September
2016, it has executed a formal Sale and Purchase agreement ('SPA') with
the Directors and principal shareholders of MCB. The SPA contains
certain provisions regarding the completion and positive conclusion of
due diligence by the Directors and its advisers on the Acquisition. Upon
satisfaction of the foregoing, shareholders will be informed of the
formal terms of the agreement, which will constitute a Reverse Takeover
('RTO') under the Listing rules since, inter alia, in substance it will
result in a fundamental change in the business of the issuer.
After the SPA was signed, the Company advanced GBP50,000 to MCB by way
of a loan. The loan was being applied to facilitate a bond being raised
by MCB for GBP5 million. It is not intended that Papillon will raise any
new equity as part of this Acquisition, the working capital requirements
being totally satisfied by the issue of the Bond by MCB.
The Directors of Papillon have issued a letter of comfort that any
shortfall of fees payable in connection with this acquisition, as
provided for in the heads of terms, will be made up by the directors of
Papillon personally where there is any shortfall in cash to pay for the
costs thereof. This amount is unquantifiable currently but the
contribution will be likely to commute the costs of the acquisition
materially. The length of time it has taken to complete the transaction
has also meant that the ongoing costs of running the company has fallen
to Papillon rather than the contemplated group. The directors have also
provided a letter of comfort with regard to the working capital
requirements of the Company pending completion of the acquisition.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIODED 31 DECEMBER 2016
1 General information
Papillon Holdings Plc ('the company') is an investment company
incorporated 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 and
Wales on 19 October 2015 as a private limited company and re-registered
on 24 June 2016 as a public limited company.
1. 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.
1. 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 in connection with the proposed acquisition of
Myclubbetting.com Limited as well as working capital requirements of the
Company. The Directors have issued a letter of comfort to meet any
shortfall of fees payable as well as working capital requirements of the
Company, pending completion of the acquisition. The working capital
requirements of the Company will be the responsibility of the combined
group upon completion of the acquisition.
After making enquiries, the Directors firmly believe that together with
their support the Company has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future. 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.
1. 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 26 February 2016 and have not been early adopted. The Director
anticipates 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 Segmental reporting
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal
reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief
operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources
and assessing performance of the operating segments, has been identified
as the steering committee that makes strategic decisions. In the opinion
of the director, the company has one class of business, being that of an
investment company. The company's primary reporting format is determined
by the geographical segment according to the location of its
establishments. There is currently only one geographic reporting segment,
which is the UK. All costs are derived from the single segment.
2.3 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.
Impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts are measured 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.
2.4 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.
2.5 Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and
deferred tax.
There is no tax currently payable based on the Company making a loss for
the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit 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. 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 the
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. Where current tax or deferred tax
arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax
effect is included in the accounting for the business combination.
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.
1. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the 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.
1. 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.

to the uncertainty of the recoverability of the amount.
8 Earnings per share
Period from 19 October 2015 to
31 December 2016

loss attributable to equity shareholders by the weighted

Basic and diluted loss per share (0.574p)
There were no potential dilutive shares in issue during the period.
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.
