CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT

 

Introduction

 

I am pleased to welcome you to my first report as Chairman for YOLO Leisure and Technology Plc (YOLO), covering the year ended 30 September 2014.

 

Financial Review

 

YOLO Leisure and Technology Plc (formerly Pentagon Protection Plc) was readmitted to trading on AIM on 18 July 2014. The year under review has two distinct periods; the first culminating in the Company Voluntary Arrangement and winding up of legacy business, unrelated to YOLO, whilst enabling the new business to continue as an investing company under the Aim Rules for Companies. The second and more exciting period was the inception of YOLO as an investment business focusing on investment opportunities with high growth and innovative customer focus within the leisure and technology sectors.

 

At the General Meeting on 11 July 2014 the shareholders;

 

·        approved the appointment of the new Directors of the Company;

·        approved the Company Voluntary Arrangement ("CVA");

·        approved the disposal of its trading subsidiaries;

·        approved the adoption of an Investing Policy under AIM Rule 15 (see below);

·        approved the appointment of Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited ("Peterhouse") as Sole Broker and placing by Peterhouse of 47,046,148 new Ordinary Shares at a price of £0.013 to raise £611,600;

·        approved the issue of warrants;

·        and approved the change of name to YOLO Leisure and Technology Plc.

 

The shares issue in July were oversubscribed and as a result the Company was able to raise a further £475,250 before expenses, bringing the total funds raised to £1,086,850 before costs by issue of 83,603,831 new 1p ordinary shares.

 

A further 7,257,116 shares were issued to settle fees relating to corporate finance fees and fundraise.

 

I do not propose to dwell on the CVA as this has been well documented in previous announcements and circular issued on 24 June 2014 save to say the sale of the subsidiaries International Glass Solutions LLC (IGS) and Pentagon Protection Global Limited (PPG) were completed in July 2014 and the CVA was completed after the year end in December 2014.

 

On 22 May 2014 the subsidiary SDS Group Limited (SDS), the Groups' security division, was sold to H ElZayn for a total consideration of £190,000 on an intercompany debt free basis.  Then on the 11 July 2014 at a Shareholder General Meeting it was further agreed that the Goodwill and fixed assets of the film division be transferred to a newly formed subsidiary Pentagon Protection Global Limited (PPG). The shares of PPG were then transferred to H ElZayn, the secured creditor of the Company, in consideration for both the waiver of his security and claims including the remaining balance of the loan of £150,000 payable to him by the Company.

 

Under the CVA arrangements the Company paid £32,800 into the CVA and a further £20,000 towards the cost of the CVA. The CVA concluded on 9 December 2014 with a payout of 9p/£ to registered unsecured creditors.

 

The Group made an operating loss of £501,921 (2013 - profit £549,990) during the year. An operating loss of £291,576 was attributable to discontinued operations and an operating loss of £210,345 was attributable to continuing operations. All subsidiaries were disposed of during the year resulting in a loss of £91,570 and leaving a clean investment shell for the new team to pursue its investment strategy on behalf of its shareholders.

 

Investment Strategy

 

The Company's Investing Policy is that the Company will invest in businesses which have some or all of the following characteristics:

 

·        strong management with a proven track record;

·        ready for investment without the need for material re-structuring by the Company;

·        generating positive cash flows or imminently likely to do so;

·        via an injection of new finances or specialist management, the Company can enhance the prospects and therefore the future value of the investment;

·        able to benefit from the Directors existing network of contacts; and

·        the potential to deliver significant returns for the Company.

 

The Company will focus on opportunities in the travel, technology and leisure sectors.

 

Whilst the Directors will be principally focused on making an investment in private businesses, they would not rule out investment in listed businesses if this presents, in their judgment, the best opportunity for Shareholders.

 

The Company intends to be an active investor in situations where the Company can make a clear contribution to the progress and development of the investment. In respect of other, more substantial investment opportunities, the Directors expect that the Company will be more of a passive investor.

 

The Directors believe that their broad collective experience together with their extensive network of contacts will assist them in the identification, evaluation and funding of appropriate investment opportunities. When necessary, other external professionals will be engaged to assist in the due diligence on prospective targets and their management teams. The Directors will also consider appointing additional directors with relevant experience if required.

 

There will be no limit on the number of projects into which the Company may invest, and the Company's financial resources may be invested in a number of propositions or in just one investment, which may be deemed to be a reverse takeover pursuant to Rule 14 of the AIM Rules. Where the Company builds a portfolio of related assets it is possible that there may be cross-holdings between such assets. The Company does not currently intend to fund any investments with debt or other borrowings but may do so if appropriate.

 

The Company's primary objective is that of securing for the Shareholders the best possible value consistent with achieving, over time, both capital growth and income for Shareholders through developing profitability coupled with dividend payments on a sustainable basis

 

Outlook

 

YOLO has been an investment company since July 2014, and with the appointment of myself as CEO and Sohail Bhatti as CFO, we have been identifying prospects that have growth potential within the leisure and technology sectors.

 

Between the year end and the date of this report the Company has made three investments for a total consideration of £1,159,802.

 

Our first investment was in a company called GFinity for a cash consideration of £300,000 for {2.27%} interest of the company.  Gfinity is an electronic sports ("eSports") business that provides a hub for a rapidly expanding community that plays a range of electronic games such as Call of Duty, League of Legends, FIFA 2015, Halo and Starcraft.  GFinity was established in September 2012 and was listed on AIM on 22 December 2014. It has established a popular on-line brand, gfinity.net, where gamers can compete, socialise and enjoy a wide range of content relating to electronic games on a proprietary technology platform. This platform enables Gfinity to run a regular roster of on-line competitions, leagues and ladders with the opportunity for gamers to win substantial prize money and/or pit their skills against professional and widely-followed "star" players.

 

A further investment of £64,314 on 23 January 2015 increased our interest to 2.75%.

 

Our second investment of £550,000 excluding costs is in a media broadcasting company called Simplestream Limited for an interest of 5.1% of the company and a Board position.  The rationale for the investment is based on the disruptive focus, quality and capability of the business model.  Consumers are changing the way they consume media broadcasting and Simplestream as a multi-channel aggregator is well positioned to serve both Consumers and media broadcast companies.  Our investment will accelerate the expansion of Simplestream's video streaming platform both in the UK and internationally, and the development of TVPlayer, their B2C live TV streaming service, through more channel packs and catch up functionality.

 

Our third investment is an acquisition of 2,500,000 shares in AudioBoom Group Plc, an AIM listed business, for £245,488. AudioBoom works with some of the biggest names in sports and media such as NFL, Premier League and BBC. The AudioBoom platform allows partners and users to bring non-music content to millions of listeners worldwide via the website, embedded players, apps, Facebook and Twitter.

 

Further insights of these investments can be viewed on the Company's website.   YOLO is now well positioned to move forward and will continue pursuing an investment strategy that generates value for shareholders through considered investments in high performance, ambitious teams that use technology to engage customers across a range of leisure and technology sectors.

 

Placing of Shares

 

As discussed earlier the Company issued 83,603,831 new 1p ordinary shares during the year at a price of 1.3p raising funds of £1,086,850 before costs. 1 for 4 Warrants were also issued to the subscribers of the new shares at an exercise price of 1.3p, and a further 7,257,116 was issued to settle corporate finance fees and fundraise costs of £94,342.  

 

Further funds of £576,000 were raised via a placing of 32,000,000 shares at 1.8p on 28 January 2015.

 

I would like to close by thanking our shareholders and advisers who have contributed to giving the company this platform to grow and we look forward to building an exciting future for the company.

1.            ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

1.1          Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with EU endorsed International Accounting Standards and International Financial Reporting Standards (collectively "IFRS") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

 

The financial statements are presented in sterling and have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except where IFRS requires an alternative treatment. The principal variations from historical cost relate to financial instruments (IAS 39).

 

The Company is a public listed company, quoted on AIM and is incorporated and domiciled in the UK.

 

                Adoption of international accounting standards

                Standards adopted early by the Group

                Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published that are mandatory for later accounting periods and which have not been adopted early. There were no new standards, amendments or interpretations that are expected to have a material impact on the company.

 

1.2          Going Concern

The company had net assets of £884,089 as at 30 September 2014 (2013 net assets of £262,449) and generated a loss before tax of £323,341 (2013 profit before tax of £391,415) in the reporting period.

 

The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast for the 12 months to 31 March 2016. Having considered all known costs, the board is of the opinion that there are sufficient funds available to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The board is also planning to raise additional funds to continue to carry out its investment strategy as opportunities arise.

 

                In light of this and after taking into account all information that could reasonably be expected to be available, the directors are confident that the Company will remain in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that the going concern basis of preparation is appropriate to the Company's financial statements.

 

1.3          Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings as at 30 September 2014. Control is achieved where the Company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an investee entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

 

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries by the Group. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued, contingent consideration and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange. Costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are initially measured at fair value at the acquisition date.

 

Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used in line with those of the Group.

 

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated on consolidation.

 

The Company has applied the exemptions under s408 of the Companies Act 2006 to not prepare a Company income statement. The result for the year of the company was a loss of £638,130 (2013: profit of £245,806).

 

                The following subsidiaries were sold during the year and consolidated up to date of sale:
