Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying Quarterly Summary of Disbursement of the Initial Public
Offering (IPO) Proceeds (the Quarterly Summary) of AllDay Marts, Inc. (the Company) as of
and for the quarter ended December 31, 2023, and the accompanying explanatory notes with
respect to the Company’s use of the proceeds from its IPO. Management is responsible for the
preparation and fair presentation of the Quarterly Summary in accordance with the planned use
of the IPO Proceeds as presented in the Prospectus of the Company dated October 12, 2021.
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion and to issue a report on this Quarterly Summary
based on our review.
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with the applicable Philippine Standard on Review
Engagements 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent
Auditor of the Entity. A review is limited primarily to inquiries of Company personnel, analytical
procedures and other review procedures applied to financial data and thus provides less
assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not
express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the
accompanying Quarterly Summary of AllDay Marts, Inc. does not present fairly, in all material
respects, the information on the use of the IPO Proceeds as of and for the quarter ended
December 31, 2023, in accordance with the planned use of such proceeds as presented in the
Prospectus of the Company.
