Papillon Holdings Plc ('Papillon' or 'the Company')
Interim Management Report
Half Yearly Report for the Period Ended 30 June 2018
Chairman's Report
Papillon Holdings PLC ("the Company") is an investment company with the original primary objective of undertaking a single acquisition of a target company, business or asset in the industrial or service sector.
In the annual report and accounts I announced that the transaction to acquire Phestor had been subject to delays beyond the directors' control and that the directors were monitoring the transaction closely. The principal of Phestor had attempted a number of times to change the terms of the reverse takeover of Phestor Limited, and associated companies, considerably in his favour, to the extent that the terms became unacceptable to the directors as they were no longer in the shareholders interest. We sent a rebuttal of the last attempt to alter the terms, but the lines of communication went silent. Ultimately it was clear that Phestor was no longer engaged with the transaction and therefore we had no alternative but to terminate the proposed reverse takeover. However, we had been in discussions during this process with the principals of Car Cloud and the directors decided that the proposed investment in Car Cloud would be a more than adequate replacement for Phestor. Accordingly, on 18 May 2018, the directors announced they had terminated their discussions with Phestor Limited and that we had reached agreement via a non-binding head of terms to make an investment in 50% of the issued share capital of a fintech company focussed on the used car market, being Car Cloud Limited.
Car Cloud has developed innovative technology that bridges the gap between private and retail vehicle sales and delivers consistently high values for the user. It has an aggressive growth strategy, utilising its unique technology to expand its offering to an, as yet, underexploited area of the private car sale market; currently +200,000 private cars are sold and brought every month in the UK.
The transaction is progressing, and we announced today that we have executed a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire a 50% interest in Pace Cloud Limited. Additionally, Papillon is raising up to GBP500k via the issue of convertible loan notes ('Loan Notes'), which will be drawn down as required by the Company; to date, GBP200k has been received. The Loan Notes carry an interest coupon of 10 per cent pa over their minimum term of 12 months, with a conversion price of 1.25 pence per new Papillon ordinary share. The proceeds from the issue of the Loan Notes will be used, in conjunction with existing resources, to finance the costs initially incurred in connection with Pace Cloud Limited. The directors believe that the investment in Car Cloud has enormous potential in a very large market and that the proposed investment should add significant shareholder value. The investment proposes to break new ground in the market in which it operates, and the business model is a complete "game changer" in the way that individuals own their cars; it is a complete ownership solution from purchase to ultimate sale of a vehicle. The Company has submitted a full information memorandum to the UK Listing Authority ('UKLA'), which will be published in due course contemporaneously to the anticipated return to trading of the shares.
The Investment is subject, inter alia, to the completion of due diligence, documentation and compliance with all regulatory requirements. The Investment constitutes a fundamental change in the business of the issuer and therefore a full information memorandum will be published in due course contemporaneously to the anticipated return to trading of the shares.
I would personally like to thank our shareholders again for their patience during the failed acquisition of Phestor and we look forward to a successful future post the completion of our investment in Car Cloud.
Results for the period
For the period from 1 January 2018 to 30 June 2018, the Company's results included the ongoing running costs of the Company including abort fees for Phestor and other advisory costs.
Risks and uncertainties
The Company has 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.
Whilst the company has recently announced that it is seeking to make an investment in Car Cloud Limited, the directors are unable to offer assurance that this acquisition will complete.
Going Concern
As stated in Note 2 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
This Interim Management Report (IMR) has been prepared solely to provide additional information to shareholders to assess the 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.

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.
2. Basis of preparation
This announcement was approved and authorised to issue by the Board of directors on 21 December 2018.
The financial information in this interim report has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. IFRS comprises standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) as adopted by the European Union (EU).
There are no IFRS, or IFRIC interpretations that are effective for the first time in this period that would be expected to have a material impact on the company.
The financial information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the accounting standard for financial instruments at fair value.
The Directors are of the opinion that the financial information should be prepared on a going concern basis, in the light of the Company's financial resources.
These condensed interim financial statements for the six months ended 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2017 are unaudited and do not constitute full accounts. The comparative figures for the period ended 31 December 2017 are extracted from the 2017 audited financial statements. The independent auditor's report on the 2017 financial statements was not qualified.
No taxation charge has arisen for the period and the Directors have not declared an interim dividend.
Copies of the interim report can be found on the Company's website at www.papillonholdingsplc.com.
Going concern
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.
3. Loss per share
Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing the earnings attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period.
For diluted loss per share, the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue is adjusted to assume conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is based on the following figures:
Period ended Period ended Year ended 30 June 30 June 31 December 2018 2017 2017 GBP GBP GBP (unaudited) (unaudited) (audited) Loss for the period (161,917) (186,808) (160,993) Weighted average number of shares - basic and diluted 132,400,000 132,400,000 132,400,000 Basic earnings per share (0.122p) (0.14p) (0.122p) -------------- -------------- -------------- Diluted earnings per share (0.122p) (0.14p) (0.122p) -------------- -------------- --------------
The basic and diluted earnings per share are the same, since where a loss is incurred the effect of outstanding share options and warrants is considered anti-dilutive and is ignored for the purpose of the loss per share calculation.
4. Share Capital
As at 30 As at 30 As at 31 June June December 2018 2017 2017 GBP ('000) GBP ('000) GBP ('000) (unaudited) (unaudited) (audited) 132,400,000 Ordinary shares of GBP0.001 each (132) (132) (132) -------------- -------------- --------------
