The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2019.

DIRECTORS

Mr Ludovic Pasqualinotto and Mr Stefan Ludwig Schellinger were appointed as directors after 31 December 2019 but prior to the date of this report.

Mr Laurent Hullo and Mr Karl Schnadt ceased to be directors after 31 December 2019 but prior to the date of this report.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in

accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law

the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In

preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

-	select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

-	make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain

the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the

company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They

are 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.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the

Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps

that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and

to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, McCleary & Company Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual

General Meeting.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006

relating to small companies.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

Mr Ludovic Pasqualinotto - Director

5 June 2020

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of ContourGlobal Europe Limited (the 'company') for the year

ended 31 December 2019 which comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet 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 United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including

Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of

Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

-	give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2019 and of its loss for the year then ended;

-	have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

-	have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 Auditors'

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, 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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in

the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors

thereon.

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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

-	the information given in the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

-	the Report of the Directors has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course

of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to

report to you if, in our opinion:

-	adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

-	the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or

-	certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or

-	we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or

-	the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Directors.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page two, 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 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.

Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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 Report of the Auditors.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of

the Companies Act 2006. 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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006.

Taxation

Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement,

except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in

equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been

enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at

the balance sheet date.

Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods

different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured

using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are

expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable

that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

Foreign currencies

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at

the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of

exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at

the operating result.
