Draganfly Investments Limited
("Draganfly" or the "Company")
Interim Results for period from May 1st 2016 to October 31st 2016
Chairman's Statement
During the period, the Company raised £274,350 through two placings at a subscription price of 0.80 pence per ordinary share.
In the announcement of the first placing on 24 June 2016, the Company stated that it was actively investigating potential acquisitions and that the Company would use the funds raised in order to fund professional costs associated with making such an acquisition, together with operating costs. The accounts reflect such professional costs incurred by the Company during the period ended 31 October 2016. Draganfly looks forward to providing shareholders with more information regarding potential acquisitions at the appropriate juncture.
No assurances can be given that any potential acquisitions which Draganfly is currently contemplating will be successfully completed.
Thank you for your continued support.

Notes to the interim statements
for the period ended 31 October 2016
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements are prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" (FRS 102).
Going concern basis of accounting
As at the period end date the company has sufficient liquid funds to manage its financial risks and to ensure it can meet its obligations as they fall due.
The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for a minimum period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the Statement of financial position when the company has become party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Basic financial assets are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Trade investments are equity investments over which the Company has no significant influence, joint control or control and are initially measured at transaction price. Transaction price includes transaction costs, except where trade investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss when transaction costs are expensed to profit or loss as incurred.
Trade investments in non-convertible and non-puttable preference shares or non-puttable ordinary shares are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The fair value of trade investments quoted on a recognised stock exchange is the quoted bid price.

1 Accounting policies (continued)
Taxation
The company has been granted exempt company status within the meaning of Article 123A of the Income Tax (Jersey) Law 1961 (as amended). The effect of such special status is that the company is treated as a non-resident company for the purposes of Jersey tax laws and is therefore exempt from Jersey income tax on its profits arising outside Jersey and, by concession, on bank deposit interest arising in Jersey (and from any obligation to withhold Jersey income tax from any interest or dividend payments made by it). This status is renewable on an annual basis upon payment of a fee to the Comptroller of Income Tax in Jersey, and it is the company's intention to maintain this status.
Consequently, no provision for taxation, either current or deferred has been made in these financial statements.
2 Turnover
Turnover is derived from its principal activity and includes dividends received from investments. It also includes realised and unrealised profits and losses on investments.
3 Investments
The carrying value of investments is stated as follows:

7 Equity reserves
Reserves of the company represent the following:
Retained Loss
Cumulative profit and loss net of distribution to owners
Stated capital
Consideration received for shares issued above their nominal value
8 Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share is calculated on the basis of the (loss) for the period of £110,472 and 47,606,722 shares being the weighted average number of shares in issue during the trading period and is stated in pence.
9 Contingent liabilities
With effect from 1 April 2015, it was agreed with Pentera Trust Company Limited that the annual administration fees would be reduced to £10,000. It was agreed that the reduction in fees would be valid until there is a trigger event, such as a transaction having been undertaken, or Pentera Trust Company Limited ceasing to act as administrators and providing directors for Draganfly Investments Limited. Following such trigger event Pentera Trust Company Limited will reserve the right to charge fees for the period from 1 January 2015, on a time spent basis capped at £20,000, subject to additional independent director approval.
With effect from 1 April 2015, it was agreed with Dennis Edmonds to amend and defer his future remuneration. The deferral would be up until there is a trigger event, such as a transaction having been undertaken and until such triggering event the Company would not accrue costs in relation to his services. At the time of a triggering event a fee will be payable to Dennis Edmonds representing a reduced £25,000 per annum remuneration, calculated from 1 April 2015 onwards. Had this fee been triggered at 31 October 2016 a fee of £39,583 would have been payable.
The above fees have not been recognised as a liability in the financial statements, as it is uncertain whether a trigger event will occur which would result in the company having an obligation to settle these fees. Instead the fees have been disclosed in the notes to the financial statements as contingent liabilities.
As stated in the Chairman's Statement the Company is investigating potential acquisitions. As with any acquisition negotiations, there can be no assurance that any transactions will reach a conclusion. Should a transaction that's currently in contemplation fail to reach a positive conclusion, abort costs totalling £68,250 would be payable.
