STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR'S
RESPONSIBILITIES
This
statement is made to enable shareholders to distinguish
bet1veen the duties of the director, as listed below, and the duties of the
auditor as indicated in the report
of the independent auditor to
the members on page
4.
The Companies

the Laws of Malta requires
the director to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a
true and fair view of the
Company's state of affairs
as at the end of, and its
profit or loss
for, that period.
In preparing these financial
statements, the director is required to:
| • | adopt the going
concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company
will continue
in business; |
| • | select suitable
accounting policies and apply
them consistently; |
| • | make judgements and estimates that are
reasonable and prudent; |
| • | account for
income and charges relating to the accounting period on the
accruals basis; |

the components of asset
and liability
items; and |
| • | report comparative
figures corresponding
to those of the
preceding accounting period. |
The director is
responsible for keeping proper accounting records.
Such records should
disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time, the financial position of
the Company such as to enable
him to ensure that the financial statements have been properly
prepared in accordance with the Companies
Act. He is 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR
TO THE MEMBERS OF VIRTUAL
GENERATION LIMITED
Report on the Financial
Statements
I have
audited the financial statements
of Virtual Generation Limited as set out on pages
7 to 18, which comprise
the Statements of Comprehensive Income,
Changes in Equity and Cash
Flows for the year
ended 31 December 2018, the
Statement of Financial Position as
at that date and the Notes to
the Financial Statements.
Audit Opinion
In my opinion,
the financial statements give a true
and fair view of the financial position of
the Company as at 31 December
2018 and of its financial performance and
cash flows for the
year then ended in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted
by the European Union ("IFRS"),
and have been properly prepared in accordance with
the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the
Laws of Malta.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted
my audit in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing ("ISAs").
My responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of my report. I am independent
of the Company in
accordance with the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics
for Professional Accountants
("IESBA Code") together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit
of the financial statements in
accordance with the Accountancy
Profession
(Code of Ethics for
Warrant Holders)
Directive issued
in terms of the Accountancy Profession Ad, Cap. 281 of
the La1vs of Malta, and I have fulfilled my other
ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the IESBA Code. I believe that the
audit evidence I have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate
to provide a
basis for
my opinion.
Other Information
The director is
responsible for the Other
Information. The Other Information
comprises the Director's Report as
set out on page 2. My opinion on the
financial statements does not cover
this information. In connection with my
audit of the financial statements,
my responsibility is to read the Other Information
and, in doing so, consider
whether the Other Information
is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
or my knowledge obtained in
the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With respect to the Director's Report, I also considered
whether the Director's Report includes the disclosures required by Article
177 of the Companies
Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.
Based on
the work I have performed,
in my opinion:
| • | the information given
in the Director's Report is consistent
with the financial statements;
and |
| • | the Director's Report has been prepared in accordance
with the Companies Act; |
In addition,
in light of the knowledge
and understanding of
the Company and its environment
obtained in the course of
the audit, I am required to
report if I have identified material misstatements in the Director's Report and Other
Information. I have nothing to report in this regard.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR
TO THE MEMBERS OF VIRTUAL
GENERATION LIMITED (cont.)
Director's Responsibility
for the Financial Statements
As described
on page 3, these
financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's director.
The director is responsible for the preparation and
fair presentation of
these financial statements in
accordance with IFRS and in accordance
with the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the
Laws of Malta, and for such internal control
as he determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the
financial statements, the director is responsible
for assessing the Company's
ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing,
as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis
of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease
operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibility
My ob1ectives
are to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements
as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor's
report that includes my opinion. Reasonable
assurance is a high
level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs will
always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material
if, individually or in their aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken
on the basis of these
financial statements.
As part
of an audit in accordance
with ISAs, I exercise professional 1udgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. I also:
| • | Identify and
assess the risks of
material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide
a basis for
my opinion. The
risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override
of internal control. |
| • | Obtain an
understanding of internal
control relevant to the
audit in order
to design audit
procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances,
but not for the
purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company's
internal control. |
| • | Evaluate the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and
related disclosures made by the director. |
| • | Conclude on the
appropriateness of the director's
use of the going
concern basis of accounting
and based on the
audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast
significant doubt on
the Company's ability
to continue as a going concern.
If I conclude
that a material
uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in
my auditor's report to
the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify my opinion.
My conclusions are based on
the audit evidence
obtained up to the date
of my auditor's
report. However, future events or
conditions may cause
the company to cease to continue
as a going concern. |
| • | Evaluate the overall
presentation, structure
and content of the
financial statements, including
the disclosures, and whether the
financial statements represent
the underlying transactions and events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation. |

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR
TO THE MEMBERS OF VIRTUAL
GENERATION LIMITED (cont.)
I communicate
with the director regarding, among
other matters, the planned scope
and timing of the audit
and significant audit findings,
including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that I identify during my audit.
Report on Other Legal
and Regulatory Requirements
The Companies
Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta establishes
that if the Company's directors default in:
| • | disclosing their remuneration; or |
| • | their duties related to retention of
accounting records, preparation of
financial statements and
in |
| • | safeguarding the
auditor's rights; |
| • | the auditor shall
report the default in the audit
report. |
There is no information to report in this regard.

2018. The adoption of any new standards,
amendments and interpretations
to existing standards since the previous accounting
period did not result in substantial changes to
the Company's existing policies. The Company
has not early adopted any new
International Financial Reporting Standards' requirements
that are issued but not as
yet mandatory for this
accounting period. It is envisaged that there are
no such requirements that
will have a possible
material impact on the Company's
financial statements in the
period of initial application.
These financial
statements have been prepared on
a going concern basis.
3
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant
accounting policies adopted in
the preparation of these financial statements
are set out below. These accounting policies
have been consistently applied by the Company
throughout the period under review and are consistent with
policies applied in previous
years.
a)
Property. Plant and Equipment
Property, plant
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated
to write down the value
of property, plant and equipment, less any anticipated
residual value, by equal annual
instalments over their estimated useful lives. A
charge equivalent to a full
period's depreciation is provided for during the period
in which the asset
is first brought into use, while no
depreciation is charged during the period the asset is
disposed of or scrapped.
- 11 -
.
3 Significant
Accounting Policies (cont.)
a)
Property, Plant and Equipment (cont.)
At reporting
date, assets are assessed about whether there is
any indication of impairment.
Any impairment loss is recognised as
an expense to profit or loss.
The rates
of depreciation used are based
on the following estimated
useful lives:
|
Years |
Electronic Equipment |
4 |
b)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is
recognised when:
| • | the contract with a
customer is identified; |
| • | the performance obligations
in the contract is
identified; |
| • | the transaction price is determined; |
| • | the transaction price may be allocated to the performance obligations
in the contract; and |
| • | the Company fully
satisfies the performance obligation. |
In relation to
the rendering of services, revenue is recognised by reference
to the date when the service
is actually rendered.
c)
Taxation
Income tax
on the profit or loss
for the period comprises current
and deferred tax. Income tax
is recognised to profit or loss except to the extent that
it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which case
it is recognised in equity.
Current
tax is the expected tax payable on the
taxable income for the period, using tax rates
enacted or substantially enacted
at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is
provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing
for temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
taxation purposes. The amount of deferred
tax provided is based on the expected manner of
realisation or settlement of the
carrying amount of assets
and liabilities, using tax rates enacted
or substantially enacted at
the reporting date.
A deferred
tax asset is recognised only
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will
be available against which the
asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets
are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit
will be realised.
d)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents comprise
bank balances.
e)
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and
other short-term receivables are
stated at their cost less
specific impairment losses.
- 12 -
.
3
Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
f) Trade and Other Payables
Trade and
other payables are stated at cost.
g)
Use of Estimates
The preparation
of the financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts
of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent liabilities at the
balance sheet date, as
well as the income and expenses for the
period under review. These estimates are
reviewed periodically, and if
adjustments become necessary, they are
reported in the periods in which they
become known.
The accounting
estimates, assumptions and
judgements made in preparing these financial statements are not
of such difficulty, sub1ectivity
and complexity as to require
their disclosure as critical in accordance
with applicable GAAP.
h)
Impairment
The carrying
amount of the Company's
assets is reviewed at each
reporting date to determine whether there is any indication
of impairment. If any such
indication exists, the assets' recoverable
amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised
whenever the present carrying amount of
an asset exceeds its recoverable
amount. Impairment losses are recognised to profit or
loss.
When a
decline in the fair value of an
asset has been previously recognised in equity and there is
ob1ective evidence that the asset
is impaired, the cumulative loss that has been recognised in equity is transferred to profit
or loss.
An impairment
loss is reversed if there is objective evidence that the
recoverable amount has recovered the value previously
assessed as impaired. The impairment loss is reversed only
to the extent that the asset's carrying amount
does not exceed the carrying amount that would
have been determined, net of depreciation,
if no impairment loss had been originally recognised.
4
Turnover
Turnover is stated
after deduction of sales rebates
and taxes directly linked to turnover. Turnover was generated entirely
within Europe and peripheral territories.
5
Profit before Taxation

The profit before taxation is stated
after charging the following
expenses:

supplementary externally imposed capital management requirements.
f)
Market Risk
The Company
is inherently exposed to all the macro-economic, legal and social
factors that affect the industry
in which it carries out

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR’S
RESPONSIBILITIES
This statement is made
to enable shareholders to distinguish between the duties of the director, as listed below, and the duties of the auditor as indicated
in the report of the independent auditor to the members on page 4.
The Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the
Laws of Malta requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial period, which give a true and fair view
of the Company's state of affairs as at the end of, and its profit or loss for, that period.
In preparing these financial statements,
the director is required to:
| ◼ | adopt the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue
in business; |
| ◼ | select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; |
| ◼ | make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| ◼ | account for income and charges relating to the accounting period on the accruals basis; |
| ◼ | value separately the components of asset and liability items; and |
| ◼ | report comparative figures corresponding to those of the preceding accounting period. |
The director is responsible for keeping
proper accounting records. Such records should disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Company
such as to enable him to ensure that the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act.
He is 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
TO THE MEMBERS OF VIRTUAL GENERATION LIMITED
Report on the Financial Statements
I have audited the financial statements
of Virtual Generation Limited as set out on pages 7 to 18, which comprise the Statements of Comprehensive Income, Changes in Equity
and Cash Flows for the year ended 31 December 2017, the Statement of Financial Position as at that date and the Notes to the Financial
Statements.
Audit Opinion
In my opinion, the financial statements
give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2017 and of its financial performance and
cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union
(“IFRS”), and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted my audit in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”). My responsibilities under those standards are further described
in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of my report. I am independent
of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional
Accountants (“IESBA Code”) together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit of the financial
statements in accordance with the Accountancy Profession (Code of Ethics for Warrant Holders) Directive issued in terms of the
Accountancy Profession Act, Cap. 281 of the Laws of Malta, and I have fulfilled my other ethical responsibilities in accordance
with these requirements and the IESBA Code. I believe that the audit evidence I have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to
provide a basis for my opinion.
Other Information
The director is responsible for the
Other Information. The Other Information comprises the Director’s Report as set out on page 2. My opinion on the financial
statements does not cover this information. In connection with my audit of the financial statements, my responsibility is to read
the Other Information and, in doing so, consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
or my knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. With respect to the Director’s Report,
I also considered whether the Director’s Report includes the disclosures required by Article 177 of the Companies Act, Cap.
386 of the Laws of Malta.
Based on the work I have performed,
in my opinion:
| · | the information given in the Director’s Report is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| · | the Director’s Report has been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act; |
In addition, in light of the
knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, I am required to report if
I have identified material misstatements in the Director’s Report and Other Information. I have nothing to report in this
regard.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR
TO THE MEMBERS OF VIRTUAL GENERATION LIMITED (cont.)
Director’s Responsibility
for the Financial Statements
As described on page 3, these financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company’s director. The director is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation
of these financial statements in accordance with IFRS and in accordance with the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta,
and for such internal control as he determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements,
the director is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibility
My objectives are to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error,
and to issue an auditor’s report that includes my opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not
a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in their aggregate, they could reasonably be expected
to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance
with ISAs, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. I also:
| · | Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for my opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override of internal control. |
| · | Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company’s internal control. |
| · | Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness
of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the director. |
| · | Conclude on the appropriateness of the director’s use of the going
concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If I conclude that a
material uncertainty exists, I am required to draw attention in my auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial
statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify my opinion. My conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE
YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2017
Virtual Generation Limited is a limited
liability company incorporated and domiciled in Malta. Its registered address and principal activities are described in the Report
of the Director. These financial statements were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the director dated 25
July 2018.
| 2 | Accounting Convention and Basis of Preparation |
These financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (“IFRS”),
and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta. These financial statements
have been prepared under the historic cost convention as modified by the fair valuation convention where required by IFRS. The
presentation and functional currency is the Euro (‘€’), being the currency that reflects the economic substance
of the underlying events and circumstances relevant to the Company.
The Company adopted all International
Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations that are mandatory for the accounting period commencing on 1 January 2017. The
adoption of any new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards since the previous accounting period did not
result in substantial changes to the Company’s existing policies. The Company has not early adopted any new International
Financial Reporting Standards’ requirements that are issued but not as yet mandatory for this accounting period. It is envisaged
that there are no such requirements that will have a possible material impact on the Company’s financial statements in the
period of initial application.
These financial statements have been prepared
on a going concern basis.
| 3 | Significant Accounting Policies |
The significant accounting policies
adopted in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These accounting policies have been consistently applied
by the Company throughout the period under review and are consistent with policies applied in previous years.
| a) | Property, Plant and Equipment |
Property, plant and equipment are
stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Depreciation is calculated to write down the value of property,
plant and equipment, less any anticipated residual value, by equal annual instalments over their estimated useful lives. A charge
equivalent to a full period’s depreciation is provided for during the period in which the asset is first brought into use,
while no depreciation is charged during the period the asset is disposed of or scrapped.
- 11 -
| a) | Property, Plant and Equipment (cont.) |
At reporting date, assets are assessed
about whether there is any indication of impairment. Any impairment loss is recognised as an expense to profit or loss.
The rates of depreciation used are
based on the following estimated useful lives:
|
Years |
Electronic Equipment |
4 |
Revenue is recognised when:
| · | the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; |
| · | it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company;
and |
| · | the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. |
In relation to the rendering
of services, revenue is recognised by reference to the date when the service is actually rendered.
Income tax on the profit or loss
for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised to profit or loss except to the extent that it relates
to items recognised directly to equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable
on the taxable income for the period, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is provided using the
balance sheet liability method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected
manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantially
enacted at the reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised
only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred
tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
| d) | Cash and Cash Equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents comprise bank
balances.
| e) | Trade and Other Receivables |
Trade and other short-term receivables
are stated at their cost less specific impairment losses.
| f) | Trade and Other Payables |
Trade and other payables are stated at
cost.
- 12 -
The preparation
of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, as well as the income and expenses for the period
under review. These estimates are reviewed periodically, and if adjustments become necessary, they are reported in the periods
in which they become known.
The accounting estimates, assumptions
and judgements made in preparing these financial statements are not of such difficulty, subjectivity and complexity as to require
their disclosure as critical in accordance with applicable GAAP.
The carrying amount of the Company’s
assets is reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists,
the assets’ recoverable amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the present carrying amount of an
asset exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised to profit or loss.
When a decline in the fair value
of an asset has been previously recognised in equity and there is objective evidence that the asset is impaired, the cumulative
loss that has been recognised in equity is transferred to profit or loss.
An impairment loss is reversed
if there is objective evidence that the recoverable amount has recovered the value previously assessed as impaired. The impairment
loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been originally recognised.
Turnover is stated after deduction of sales rebates
and taxes directly linked to turnover. Turnover was generated entirely within Europe and peripheral territories.
| a) | The profit before taxation is stated after charging the following expenses: |

Audit fees 1,500 1,200
Depreciation of property, plant and
equipment 29,340 16,749

STATEMENT OF DIRECTOR' RESPONSIBILITIES
This
statement is made to enable shareholders to distinguish
between the duties of the director, as listed below, and the duties of the
auditor as indicated in the report
of the independent auditor to
the members on page

The Companies
Act, Cap. 386 of the
Laws of Malta requires the director to prepare financial
statements for each financial period, which give a true
and fair view of the Company's
state of affairs as at the
end of, and its profit or
loss for, that period.
In preparing these financial

accounting policies and apply
them consistently; |

reasonable and prudent; |
| · | account for
income and charges relating to the accounting period on the

the components of asset
and liability
items; and |
| · | report comparative
figures corresponding
to those of the
preceding accounting period. |
The director is
responsible for keeping proper accounting records.
Such records should
disclose with reasonable
accuracy at any time, the financial position of
the Company such as to enable
him to ensure that the financial statements have been properly
prepared in accordance with the Companies
Act. He is 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.

with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted
by the European Union ("IFRS"), and have
been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies
Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.
Basis for Opinion
I conducted
my audit in accordance
with International Standards on Auditing ("ISAs").
My responsibilities under those standards are further
described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial
Statements section of my report. I am independent
of the Company in
accordance with the International Ethics Standards
Board for Accountants' Code of Ethics
for Professional Accountants
("IESBA Code") together with the
ethical requirements that are relevant to my audit
of the financial statements in
accordance with the Accountancy
Profession (Code of Ethics
for Warrant Holders)
Directive issued in terms
of the Accountancy Profession Act, Cap. 281 of the La1vs
of Malta, and I have fulfilled my other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements
and the IESBA Code. I believe that the audit
evidence I have obtained is
sufficient and appropriate
to provide a basis
for my opinion.
Other Information
The director is
responsible for the Other
Information. The Other Information
comprises the Director's Report as
set out on page 2. My opinion on the
financial statements does not cover
this information. In connection with my
audit of the financial statements,
my responsibility is to read the Other Information
and, in doing so, consider
whether the Other Information
is materially inconsistent with the financial statements
or my knowledge obtained in
the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With respect to the Director's Report, I also considered
whether the Director's Report includes the disclosures required by Article
177 of the Companies
Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.
Based on
the work I have performed,
in my opinion:
| · | the information given
in the Director's Report is consistent
with the financial statements;
and |
| · | the Director's Report has been prepared in accordance
with the Companies Act; |
In addition,
in light of the knowledge
and understanding of
the Company and its environment
obtained in the course of
the audit, I am required to
report if I have identified material misstatements in the Director's Report and Other
Information. I have nothing to report in this regard.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR
TO THE MEMBERS OF NAOS HOLDING
LIMITED (cont.)
Director's Responsibility
for the Financial Statements
As described
on page 3, these
financial statements are the responsibility
of the Company's director.
The director is responsible for the preparation
and fair presentation of
these financial statements in
accordance with IFRS and
in accordance with the
Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of
Malta, and for such internal control as he
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of
financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether
due to fraud or error.
In preparing the
financial statements, the director is responsible
for assessing the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern, disclosing, as
applicable, matters related to going concern and
using the going concern basis of
accounting unless the director either intend to liquidate the Company
or to cease operations, or has
no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's Responsibility
My objectives
are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud
or error, and to
issue an auditor's report that includes my opinion.
Reasonable assurance is
a high level of assurance,
but is not a guarantee that
an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs will always
detect a material misstatement when
it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error
and are considered material if, individually or
in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions
of users taken on the
basis of these financial statements.
As part
of an audit in accordance
with ISAs, I exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism
throughout the audit. I also:
| · | Identify and
assess the risks of
material misstatement of
the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error,
design and perform
audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence
that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide
a basis for
my opinion. The
risk of not detecting
a material misstatement resulting
from fraud is higher than for one resulting
from error, as fraud
may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations,
or the override
of internal control. |
| · | Obtain an
understanding of internal
control relevant to the
audit in order
to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but
not for the purpose
of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of
the Company's internal
control. |
| · | Evaluate the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and
the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and
related disclosures made by
the director. |
| · | Conclude on the
appropriateness of the director's
use of the going
concern basis of accounting
and based on the
audit evidence obtained,
whether a material uncertainty exists related
to events or conditions
that may cast significant
doubt on the
Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. If
I conclude that
a material uncertainty exists,
I am required to draw attention in
my auditor's report to
the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if
such disclosures are
inadequate, to modify my opinion.
My conclusions are based on
the audit evidence
obtained up to the date
of my auditor's
report. However, future events or
conditions may cause
the company to
cease to continue
as a going concern. |
| · | Evaluate the overall
presentation, structure and
content of the financial statements,
including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and
events in a manner
that achieves fair presentation.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT
AUDITOR
TO THE MEMBERS OF NAOS HOLDING
LIMITED (cont.)
I communicate
with the director regarding, among other matters,
the planned scope and timing of
the audit and significant
audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that I identify during my audit.
Report on Other Legal
and Regulatory Requirements
The Companies
Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta establishes
that if the Company's director default in:
| · | disclosing their remuneration; or |
| · | their duties related to retention of
accounting records, preparation of
financial statements and
in safeguarding the
auditor's rights; |
| · | the auditor shall
report the default in the audit
report. |
There is no information to report in this regard.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD FROM 31 OCTOBER 2017 TO 31 DECEMBER
2018
1
Corporate Information
NAOS Holding
Limited is a limited liability company
incorporated and domiciled in Malta. Its
registered address and principal activities
are described in the Report of the
Director. These financial statements were authorised for issue
in accordance with a resolution of the director dated 28
February 2019.
2
Accounting Convention and Basis of Preparation
These financial
statements have been prepared in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted
by the European Union ("IFRS"),
and have been properly prepared in accordance with the
Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of
Malta. These financial statements have
been prepared under the historic cost convention as modified
by the fair valuation convention where required by IFRS.
The presentation and functional currency is the Euro ('€'), being the
currency that reflects the economic substance of the underlying
events and circumstances relevant to the Company.
The Company
adopted all International Financial Reporting Standards
and interpretations that are mandatory
for the accounting
period commencing on 31 October 2017.
The adoption of any new standards,
amendments and interpretations to existing standards since
the previous accounting period
did not result in substantial changes to the Company's
existing policies. The Company has
not early adopted any new International Financial Reporting
Standards' requirements that are
issued but not as yet mandatory
for this accounting
period. It is envisaged that there are no
such requirements that will
have a possible material impact
on the Company's financial
statements in the period of
initial application.
These financial
statements have been prepared on
a going concern basis.
3
Significant Accounting Policies
The significant
accounting policies adopted in
the preparation of these financial statements
are set out below. These accounting policies
have been consistently applied by the Company
throughout the period under review and are consistent with
policies applied in previous
years.
- 11 -
3 Significant
Accounting Policies (cont.)
a)
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognised
when:
| · | the contract
with a customer is identified; |
| · | the performance obligations
in the contract is
identified; |
| · | the transaction price is determined; |
| · | the transaction price may be allocated to the performance
obligations in the contract;
and |
| · | the Company
fully satisfies the
performance obligation. |
In relation
to dividend income, revenue is recognised when the
Company's right to receive payment has been established, provided
that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow
to the Company and the amount of
income can be measured reliably.
b)
Taxation
Income tax
on the profit or loss
for the period comprises current
and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised to profit or
loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly to equity, in which
case it is recognised in equity.
Current
tax is the expected tax payable on the
taxable income for the period, using tax rates
enacted or substantially enacted
at the reporting date.
Deferred tax is
provided using the balance sheet liability method, providing
for temporary differences between the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities
for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for
taxation purposes. The amount of deferred
tax provided is based on the expected manner of
realisation or settlement of the
carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax
rates enacted or substantially
enacted at the reporting date.
A deferred
tax asset is recognised only
to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will
be available against which the
asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets
are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit
will be realised.
c)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and
cash equivalents comprise
cash and bank balances with a contractual maturity
of three months or less.
d)
Trade and Other Receivables
Trade and
other short-term receivables are
stated at their cost less
specific impairment losses.
e)
Trade and Other Payables
Trade and
other payables are stated
at cost.
- 12 -
3
Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
f) Use
of Estimates
The preparation
of the financial statements
requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent
liabilities at the balance
sheet date, as well as
the income and expenses for the
period under review. These estimates are reviewed periodically,
and if ad1ustments become necessary, they are
reported in the periods in which they
become known.
The accounting
estimates, assumptions and judgements
made in preparing these financial statements are not
of such difficulty, sub1ectivity
and complexity as to
require their disclosure as critical in accordance
with International Accounting Standard 1
"Presentation of Financial Statements".
g)
Investments in Subsidiaries
In the individual
financial statements of the Company,
investments in subsidiaries are carried at cost less
specific impairment losses.
h)
Impairment
The carrying
amount of the Company's
assets is reviewed at each
reporting date to determine whether there is any indication
of impairment. If any such
indication exists, the assets' recoverable
amount is estimated. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the
present carrying amount of an asset
exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised
to profit or loss.
When a
decline in the fair value of an
asset has been previously recognised in equity and there is
ob1ective evidence that the asset
is impaired, the cumulative loss that has been recognised in equity is transferred to profit
or loss.
An impairment
loss is reversed if there is objective evidence that the
recoverable amount has recovered the value previously
assessed as impaired. The impairment loss is reversed only
to the extent that the asset's carrying
amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment
loss had been originally recognised.
4
Profit before Taxation
a)
The profit before taxation is stated
after charging auditor's
remuneration amounting to €1,000.
b)
The Company
employed no employees during the period under review.

Financial Instruments
Financial
assets of the Company comprise
equity investments and other receivable
balances. Financial liabilities of the Company
comprise other payables. The accounting policies
for these assets and
liabilities are set out in note 3
to these financial statements, and
these policies are directed towards the establishment
of fair values for

a)
Interest Rate Risk
The Company
is not exposed to any interest-accruing assets or liabilities.
12 Financial
Instruments (cont.)
b)
Fair Value
The fair
values of financial instruments of
the Company are not materially
different from their carrying amounts. The Company assesses the
fair value of its financial instruments by reference to
non-complex valuation methods based on
cost and income factors and using observable inputs
(IFRS 13 level 2 hierarchy).
Given that the financial instruments held by the Company
have a short maturity
date, are not of a complex
nature and are similar to
many other financial instruments in prevalent economic
use, the risk that fair valuation
methods used by the Company may
affect its reported
financial performance is low.
c)
Credit Risk
The Company
does not hold any significant financial
assets sub1ect to high credit
risk.
d)
Foreign Exchange
Risk
The Company
does not hold any significant financial
assets in any currency other
than the functional currency.
e)
Liquidity Risk
The Company
is funded entirely by equity funding. The Company is
not subject to any supplementary
externally imposed capital management requirements.
f) Market
Risk
The Company
is inherently exposed to all the macro-economic, legal and social
factors that affect the
industry in which it carries out
its business. The sensitivity to
such factors is assessed as
average by management, as compared to
competitors in the same
industry. The Company does
not possess any financial assets or liabilities
which are specifically exposed to a
high level of market risk
profile.

Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION
On January 30, 2019 (the “Effective Date”),
Newgioco Group, Inc. (“Newgioco”) completed its acquisition of Virtual Generation Ltd. (“VG”), a developer
of virtual gaming software, together with Naos Holding Limited, a private holding company (“Naos”) (the “Acquisition”).
As a result of the completion of the Acquisition, VG and Naos have become an indirect and direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Newgioco,
respectively, and the results of VG and Naos have been included in the consolidated results of Newgioco since January 30, 2019.
Newgioco acquired 100% of the outstanding stock
of Naos and VG for €4 million (approximately US$4.5 million) in a combination of cash and stock to be paid in immediately
available funds of €108,000 and €89,000 in shares of common stock on the Closing Date plus a promissory note to pay 23
equal consecutive monthly instalments in cash of €104,000 each and 17 equal consecutive monthly instalments of €83,000
converted to U.S. dollars in shares of common stock as determined by the average of the closing price of such shares on the last
ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the payment date commencing March 1, 2019, with an additional earn-out payment of €500,000
(approximately US$560,000) to be paid in shares of common stock of Newgioco contingent on a 5% increase in the number of bets made
through the VG platform in 2019 compared to 2018.
The business combination was accounted for
using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires an acquiror to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed at
the acquisition date fair value. The estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is preliminary and differences
between the preliminary and final estimated fair value could be material. Newgioco preliminarily allocated the purchase price to
the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values at the acquisition date as summarized in the accompanying
notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.
VG and Naos report under International Financial
Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”). Management
has determined that there are no quantitative differences between IFRS and generally accepted accounting principles in the United
States of America (“US GAAP”) that are applicable to VG for the period presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
balance sheet is based on the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Newgioco and the historical condensed accounting
records of Naos and VG as of December 31, 2018 and has been prepared to reflect the Acquisition as if it had been consummated on
January 1, 2018. The balance sheet information for Naos and VG has been derived, without material modification, from both Naos
and VG’s historical accounting records and converted from Euros into US dollars ("USD" or "$") at the
rate of 1.1444 to the Euro.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statement of operations is based on the historical condensed consolidated results of Newgioco and the historical condensed accounting
records of Naos and VG for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and has been prepared as if the Acquisition had been completed
on January 1, 2018. The historical results of Naos and VG have been derived, without material modification, from both Naos and
VG’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and has been converted from Euros into US dollars using
the average exchange rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 at the rate of 1.1809 to the Euro.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information is based on estimates and assumptions which are preliminary and has been made solely for purposes of developing
such pro forma information. In connection with the plan to integrate the operations of Newgioco, Naos and VG, Newgioco anticipates
that non-recurring charges will be incurred. Newgioco is not able to determine the timing, nature and amount of these charges as
of the date of this current report. However, these charges could affect the combined results of operations of Newgioco, Naos and
VG in the period in which they are recorded. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not include
the effects of the costs associated with any integration activities resulting from the transaction, as they are non-recurring in
nature and not factually supportable at the time that the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was prepared.
In addition, the pro forma condensed combined financial statements do not include any potential operating efficiencies or cost
savings from expected synergies of combining the companies.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined Newgioco’s
financial condition or results of operations would have been had the Acquisition occurred on the date indicated or that may be
achieved in the future. They also may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of Newgioco
on a combined basis. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts
reflected herein due to a variety of factors.
The assumptions and estimates underlying the
unaudited adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined financial statements are described in the accompanying notes, which should
be read in conjunction with:
| · | the accompanying notes
to this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information; |
| · | the historical consolidated
financial statements of Newgioco included in Newgioco’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018,
filed with the SEC; |
| · | the historical financial
statements of VG for the year ended December 31, 2018, included herein; and |
| · | the historical financial
statements of Naos for the year ended December 31, 2018, included herein. |
All intercompany balances and profits or losses
from transactions between Newgioco and VG and Naos have been eliminated in this pro forma condensed combined financial information.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined
Financial Statements
1. Description of Acquisition and Basis of Presentation
Newgioco acquired 100% of the outstanding stock
of Naos and VG for €4 million (approximately US$4.5 million) in a combination of cash and stock to be paid in immediately
available funds of €108,000 and €89,000 in shares of common stock on the Closing Date plus a promissory note to pay 23
equal consecutive monthly instalments in cash of €104,000 each and 17 equal consecutive monthly instalments of €83,000
converted to U.S. dollars in shares of common stock as determined by the average of the closing price of such shares on the last
ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the payment date commencing March 1, 2019, with an additional earn-out payment of €500,000
(approximately US$560,000) to be paid in shares of common stock of the Company contingent on a 5% increase in the number of bets
made through the VG platform in 2019 compared to 2018.
The business combination was accounted for
using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires an acquiror to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed at
the acquisition date fair value. The estimated fair value of assets acquired, and liabilities assumed is preliminary and differences
between the preliminary and final estimated fair value could be material.
Naos and VG report under International Financial Reporting Standards
(“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standard Board (“IASB”) and are presented in Euros.
Accordingly, amounts for Virtual Generation and Naos are translated to U.S. dollars. Management has determined that there are no
quantitative differences between IFRS and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”)
that are applicable to VG for the period presented.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
balance sheet is based on the historical condensed consolidated balance sheet of Newgioco and the historical condensed accounting
records of Naos and VG as of December 31, 2018 and has been prepared to reflect the Acquisition as if it had been consummated on
January 1, 2018. The balance sheet information for Naos and VG has been derived, without material modification, from both Naos
and VG’s historical accounting records and converted from Euros into US dollars ("USD" or "$") at the
rate of 1.1444 to the Euro.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
statement of operations is based on the historical condensed consolidated results of Newgioco and the historical condensed accounting
records of Naos and VG for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and has been prepared as if the Acquisition had been completed
on January 1, 2018. The historical results of Naos and VG have been derived, without material modification, from both Naos and
VG’s statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018 and has been converted from Euros into US dollars using
the average exchange rate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 at the rate of 1.1809 to the Euro.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial information is based on estimates and assumptions which are preliminary and has been made solely for purposes of developing
such pro forma information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily an indication of
the results that would have been achieved had the acquisition been consummated as of the dates indicated or that may be achieved
in the future.
2. Pro Forma Adjustments
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 are presented as if the Acquisition had occurred on January 1,
2018, the first day of that fiscal year. The pro forma adjustments give effect to the events that are directly attributable to
the transaction and are expected to have a continuing impact on the financial results of the combined company. The pro forma adjustments
are based on available information and certain assumptions that Newgioco believes are reasonable.
The pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited
pro forma combined statements of income are as follows:
| (a) | To eliminate trade accounts
receivable and payable between VG and Ulisse GmbH; |
| (b) | To eliminate trade accounts
receivable and payable between Odissea GmbH and VG; |
| (c) | To record the fair value
of VG's internally developed technologies; |
| (d) | To record VG's goodwill
acquired; |
| (e) | To eliminate intercompany
investment between Naos and VG; |
| (f) | To eliminate VG's and
Naos’ historical stockholders' equity; |
| (g) | Reflects the allocation
of the purchase price of approximately US$ 4,500,000 to the fair value of the assets acquired. The allocation of the purchase price
is preliminary and therefore subject to change. The allocation of the purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired is
as follows: |
Total | |
Purchase Price | |
$ | 4,500,000 | |
Less: | |
Net assets acquired | |
| (189,383 | ) |
Less: | |
Intangible assets | |
| (4,300,000 | ) |
| |

| (h) | To eliminate revenue
on sales between VG and Newgioco; and |
| (i) | To eliminate cost of
sales between VG and Newgioco |
Exhibit 99.4
Report of the Independent Auditor for financial statements of VG as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
Please refer to the accompanying document in pdf format.
REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITOR TO THE MEMBERS
OF
NAOS HOLDING LIMITED
To the Director and Shareholders of
NAOS Holding LTD
Malta
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial
statements of NAOS Holding LTD, which comprise the statements of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for the period from 31 October 2017 to 31 December 2018, and a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory notes.
Audit Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give
a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2018 and of its financial performance and cash
flows for the period then ended in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union
(IFRS) and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of Malta.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s
Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report.
We are independent of the Company in accordance
with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (“IESBA
Code”) together with the ethical requirements of the Accountancy Profession (Code of Ethics for Warrant Holders) Directive
issued in terms of the Accountancy Profession Act, Cap. 281, that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements
in Malta. We have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the IESBA Code.
We believe that the audit evidence we have
obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other Information
The director is responsible for the other information.
The other information comprises only the Director’s Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover this information.
In connection with our audit of the financial
statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially
inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
With respect to the Director’s Report,
we also considered whether the Director’s Report includes the disclosures required by Article 177 of the Companies Act, Cap.
386 of the Laws of Malta.
Based on the work we have performed, in our
opinion:
§
the information given in the Director’s
Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
§
the Director’s Report has been prepared
in accordance with the Maltese Companies Act, Cap.386.
In addition, in light of the knowledge and
understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we are required to report if we have identified
material misstatements in the Director’s Report and other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s
report. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Director’s Responsibility
for the Financial Statements
The director
is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRS as adopted
by the European Union and the requirements of the Maltese Companies Act, Cap. 386, and for such
internal control as he determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the
director is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters
related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the Company
or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue
an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee
that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in their aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs,
we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
| § | Identify and assess the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures
responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The
risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve
collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
| § | Obtain an understanding
of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not
for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. |
| § | Evaluate the appropriateness
of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the director. |
| § | Conclude on the appropriateness
of the director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material
uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report
to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions
are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may
cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
| § | Evaluate the overall
presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements
represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
We communicate with the director regarding,
among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies
in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Report on Other Legal and Regulatory
Requirements
The Companies Act, Cap. 386 of the Laws of
Malta establishes that if the Company’s director default in:
| § | disclosing their remuneration;
or |
| § | their duties related
to retention of accounting records, preparation of financial statements and in safeguarding the auditor’s rights; |
the auditor shall report the default in the
audit report.
We have nothing to report to you in this regard.
