These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly. we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management. as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion. the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Global Partner Acquisition Corp. as of June 5. 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period from May 19, 2015 (date of inception) to June 5, 2015, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ WithumSmith+Brown, PC Morristown, New Jersey July 13, 2015 F-2 GLOBAL PARTNER ACQUISITION CORP.
