INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the shareholders of CAR Inc.
(Incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability)
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of CAR Inc. (the “Company”) and its
subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the six months ended 30 June 2017 (the “Reporting Period”)
set out on pages 7 to 110, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 30 June 2017, and the consolidated statement of profit or loss, the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
consolidated statement of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, and notes to the
consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the
consolidated financial position of the Group as at 30 June 2017, and of its consolidated
financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the six-month period then ended
in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (“ISAs”) issued
by the International Accounting and Auditing Standards Board (“IAASB”). Our responsibilities
under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of
the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group
in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics
for Professional Accountants (the “IESBA Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Other matter
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to the fact that the financial information
for the six months ended 30 June 2016 (the “Comparative Information”) is unaudited.

Responsibilities of the directors for the consolidated financial statements
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial
statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with IFRSs issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board, and for such internal control as the directors determine is
necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the directors of the Company are
responsible for assessing the Group’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 of the Company either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease
operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
The directors of the Company are assisted by the Audit and Compliance Committee in
discharging their responsibilities for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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. Our report is made solely to you, as a
body, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability
to any other person for the contents of this report.
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 consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and
maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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 Group’s internal control.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
