CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT 
for the Period Ended 31 December 2017 

I am pleased to present my first report as Non-Executive Chairman of VR Education Holdings plc for the period ended 
31 December 2017. 

The  Company was  incorporated  on  13  October 2017  and  up  to  31  December  2017  was  not  trading.  The  Company 
acquired Immersive VR Education Limited in a common control share-for-share transaction on 12 March 2018 and 
contemporaneously listed on London's AIM market and Dublin's ESM market. As part of the Admission process, the 
Group raised £6 million before expenses, through an oversubscribed placing of 60,000,000 new ordinary shares at a 
placing price of 10p each. 

Immersive VR Education Limited is a leading virtual reality technology company focused on the education space. 

Future Developments in the Business 
The admission to the AIM and ESM public markets will assist the Group in its development by: 

- granting access to funding to develop and market the ENGAGE platform as well as produce compelling 
content to sell on the platform; 
- raising the Group’s profile which the Directors believe will assist in attracting users to the ENGAGE 
platform and purchase of the Group’s showcase VR experiences and attracting customers to both 
ENGAGE Education and ENGAGE Enterprise; 
- providing funds through the Placing to accelerate development and growth of the Group and in 
particular to prepare for launch of the updated ENGAGE platform in H1 2018, as well as for working 
capital and general corporate purposes; 
- providing potential access to future development capital to progress future pipeline projects; 
- providing a market on which the Ordinary Shares of the Company can be traded, in order to provide 
increased liquidity and a market valuation for the Company’s equity which, in conjunction with the 
employee option schemes, will assist the Company in attracting, retaining and incentivising high 
calibre employees; and 
- allowing for expansion of the Group’s development and executive team.

DIRECTORS' REPORT 
for the Period Ended 31 December 2017 

Corporate Governance 

The directors are considering the impact of adopting the QCA Code of Corporate Governance and the 
appropriateness of this once the Company is admitted to AIM. 

Directors' Responsibilities Statement 

The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with 
applicable Irish law and regulations. 

Irish Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they 
have  elected  to  prepare  the  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  accounting  standards  issued  by  the  Financial 
Reporting Council including IFRS. 

Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a 
true and fair view of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the company as at the financial year end date and 
of the profit or loss of the company for the financial year and otherwise comply with the Companies Act 2014. 

In preparing these financial statements the directors are required to: 

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
• make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
• state whether the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards, identify those standards, and note the effect and the reasons for any
material departure; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to

presume that the company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for ensuring that the company keeps or causes to be kept adequate accounting records 
which correctly explain and record the transactions of the company, enable at any time the assets, liabilities, financial 
position and profit or loss of the company to be determined with reasonable accuracy and enable them to ensure that 
the  financial  statements  and  Directors’  Report  comply  with  the  Companies  Act  2014  and  enable  the  financial 
statements to be audited. They are also responsible for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard 
the assets of the company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.

DIRECTORS' REPORT 
for the Period Ended 31 December 2017 

Accounting Records 

The measures that the Directors have taken to secure compliance with the requirements of sections 281 to 285 of the 
Companies Act 2014 with regard to the keeping of accounting records, include the provision of appropriate resources 
to  maintain  adequate  accounting  records  throughout  the  company,  including  the  employment  of  appropriately 
qualified personnel and the maintenance of computerised accounting systems. 

The accounting records of the Company are held at their registered office at Unit 9, Cleaboy Business Park, 
Waterford, Ireland. 

Disclosure of information to the Auditor 

Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any 
relevant  audit  information and to  establish that  the  company's  auditor  is  aware  of  that  information.  The  directors 
confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.

VR EDUCATION HOLDINGS PLC 

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VR EDUCATION HOLDINGS PLC 

Opinion 
We  have  audited  the  financial  statements  of  VR  Education  Holdings  PLC  (the  ‘company’)  for  the  year  ended  31 
December  2017  which  comprise  statements  such  as:  the  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income,  the  Statement  of 
Financial  Position,  the  Statement  of  Changes  in  Equity,  the  Statement  of  Cash  Flows  and  notes  to  the  financial 
statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been 
applied in their preparation is applicable law and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the 
European Union. 

In our opinion, the financial statements: 

• give a true and fair view of the state of the company’s affairs as at 31 December 2017 and of its

results for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union;

Basis for opinion 
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. 
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  ethical 
requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard 
as  applied  to  listed  entities,  and  we  have  fulfilled  our  other  ethical  responsibilities  in  accordance  with  these 
requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our opinion. 

Conclusions relating to going concern 
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report 
to you where: 

• the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial

statements is not appropriate; or

• the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties

that may cast significant doubt about the company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern
basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial
statements are authorised for issue.

Our application of materiality 
Materiality applied to the Company financial statements was £1,250. This amount represents 5% of gross assets held 
at the year end. Our application was considered appropriate based on where the areas of risk arise in the Company. 
We apply the concept of materiality in planning and performing our audit, and in evaluating the effect of misstatement. 
At the planning stage materiality is used to determine the financial statement areas that are included 
within the scope of our audit. 

- 10 - 

VR EDUCATION HOLDINGS PLC 

An overview of the scope of our audit 
As part of the design of our audit, we determined materiality, as above, and addressed risks of material misstatement 
in  the  financial  statements.  In  particular,  we  look  at  where  the  Directors  made  subjective  judgements.  We  also 
addressed  the risk  of  management  override  of  internal  controls,  including  evaluating  whether  there was 
evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. 

Key audit matters 
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the 
financial statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement 
(whether or not due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, 
the  allocation  of  resources  in  the  audit;  and  directing  the  efforts  of  the  engagement  team.  These  matters  were 
addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and 
we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. 

In our assessment of the financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2017, there were deemed to be no 
key audit matters to be addressed. 

Other information 
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements 
and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial 
statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, 
we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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.  If  we  identify  such  material  inconsistencies  or  apparent  material  misstatements,  we  are 
required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement 
of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement 
of this other information, we are required to report that fact. 

We have nothing to report in this regard. 

Responsibilities of directors 
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation 
of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as 
the directors determine 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 directors are 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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so. 

- 11 - 

VR EDUCATION HOLDINGS PLC 

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements 
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 (UK) 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. 

A  further  description  of  our  responsibilities  for  the  audit  of  the  financial  statements  is  located  on  the  Financial 
Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s 
report. 

Use of our report 
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with our engagement letter dated 25 
June 2018. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters  we 
are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, 
we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone, other than the company and the company's members as a 
body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

1. General Information 

The Company was incorporated on 13 October 2017 as VR Education Holdings PLC in Ireland with 
Registered Number 613330 under the Companies Act 2014. 

The address of its registered office is Unit 9 Cleaboy Business Park, Old Kilmeaden Road, Waterford, X91 AX83, 
Ireland. 

2. Basis of Preparation 

The  Financial  Information  of  VR Education  Holdings  PLC  have  been  prepared  in accordance  with International 
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations (IFRS IC) as issued by the International Accounting 
Standards  Board  as  adopted  by  the  European  Union  and  the  Companies  Act  2014  applicable  to  companies 
reporting under IFRS. 

The Financial Information has been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation 
of  land  and  buildings,  available-for-sale  financial  assets,  and  financial  assets  and  financial  liabilities  (including 
derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss. 

The preparation of the Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect 
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, as well as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the 
statement of financial position date and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting 
period. Although these estimates are based on management’s best estimate of the amount, event or actions, 
actual results ultimately may differ from those estimates. 

The preparation of Financial Information 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. 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Financial Information are set out below. 

Going Concern 
The financial information is presented on the going concern basis. 

The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational 
existence for the foreseeable future. As such the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting 
in preparing the Financial Information.

VR EDUCATION HOLDINGS PLC 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Foreign Currency Translation 

(a) Functional and Presentation Currency 
Items included in the Financial Information of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary 
economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). 

The Financial Information is presented in euro (€), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. 

(b) Transactions and Balances 
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at 
the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured. Foreign exchange gains and losses 
resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of 
monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the income statement, 
except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges and qualifying net 
investment hedges. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents 
are presented in the income statement within ‘finance income or costs’. All other foreign exchange gains and 
losses are presented in the income statement within Administrative Expenses. 

Current versus non-current classification 
The Company presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current 
classification. An asset is current when it is: 
• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle 
• Held primarily for the purpose of trading 
• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period 
Or 
• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability forat 

least twelve months after the reporting period 

All other assets are classified as non-current. 

A liability is current when: 
• It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle 
• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading 
• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period 
Or 
• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months 

after the reporting period 

The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

VR EDUCATION HOLDINGS PLC 

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

Fair value measurement 

The Company measures financial instruments such as derivatives at fair value at each balance sheet date. 

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction 
between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption 
that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either: 

• In the principal market for the asset or liability 
Or 
• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability 

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Company. The fair value of an asset or 
a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, 
assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest. 

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data 
are available to measure fair value, maximising the use of relevant observable inputs and minimising the use of 
unobservable inputs. 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 
In the Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents comprise cash in hand and short term deposits. Bank 
overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities on the Statement of Financial Position. 

Share Capital 
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, 
net of tax, from the proceeds. Where the issuance of the new shares or options occurs in a subsequent period 
from when the incremental costs are incurred these costs are prepaid until the issuance takes place. 

Where the Company purchases its own equity share capital (treasury shares), the consideration paid, including 
any  directly  attributable  incremental  costs  (net  of  income  taxes)  is  deducted  from  equity  attributable  to  the 
Company’s  equity  holders,  until  the  shares  are  cancelled  or  reissued.  Where  such  shares  are  subsequently 
reissued, any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the 
related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued) 

New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company 
The Company has adopted all applicable IFRS’s in force as at 31 December 2017. At 31 December 2017, the 
following new and revised IFRSs relevant to the company are issued but are not yet effective: 

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers 
IFRS 16 Leases 
IAS 7 (amendments) Disclosure of changes in liabilities arising from financing 
activities 
IAS 12 (amendments) Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealised Losses 
Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2014-2016 cycle * 

* Not yet endorsed for use in EU.

IFRS  9  will  impact  the  recognition,  measurement  and  disclosures  of  financial  instruments.  The  Company  is 
currently  assessing  the  impact  of  the  revisions  on  the  Company’s  financial  position, a  process  expected  to  be 
finalised  during  the  year  ending  31  December  2018.  Until  such  assessment  is  completed  it  is  not  practical  to 
provide an estimate of the full effect of IFRS 9. 

IFRS15 ‘Revenue from Contracts with Customers’ sets out new revenue recognition criteria that will 
be applicable from 1 January 2018 and its effect is dependent on the Company generating revenue in the period. 
The  Company  is  currently  in  the  process  of  assessing  the  impact  of  the  implementation  of  this  standard  and 
therefore the full effect of the standard has not yet been determined. 

IFRS 16 ‘Leases’. IFRS 16 requires lessees to recognise a lease liability reflecting future lease p payments and a 
‘right of use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. This is effective for the period beginning on 1 June 2018, with 
earlier adoption permitted if IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with customers’ is also applied. The Company has 
not yet assessed the full effect of this standard. 

Of the other IFRSs and IFRICs, none are expected to have a material effect on future Company financial 
statements.
