2021 Full Year Results

Live Company Group PLC (AIM: LVCG) is pleased to announce its audited results for the year ended 31 December 2021, extracts from which are set out below - will be made available on the Company's web-site www.livecompanygroup.com shortly.

Chairman's Review

2021 was a tough year for everyone on a personal level. From a business perspective many industries were hard hit - events being one of them - with several companies closing their doors forever. Restrictions in place continued to impact LVCG's opportunity for growth. In fact, as an events based company we were fortunate to still be operational during the second half of 2021. In spite of this LVCG was able to announce in December 2021 a new revenue stream for 2022 onwards - KPOP.Flex.

KPOP.Flex

In December 2021 after a year of negotiations I was delighted to finally be able to launch KPOP.Flex - Europe's largest KPOP multi-artist festival which took place in May 2022 in the iconic DB Frankfurt Stadium and two artists were announced prior to the year end.

In February 2022 we announced that the tickets for 14 May 2022 were completely sold out and we announced the second day adding two additional artists to the roster. The final artists included: ENHyphen, NCT-dream and Kai.

We then partnered with KTO-Korean Tourism Office to host a Korean culture festival as a part of the fan festival.

Revenue from KPOP.Flex is derived from several sources: ticket sales, merchandising, sponsorship and streaming. We await the final reconciliation, however it is expected that there will be a positive contribution to our 2022 Group results.

LVCG's strategy going forward is to extend the KPOP.Flex concept into other cities in Europe and globally. The Frankfurt festival is a five-year contract, and all future contracts are envisaged to be long term with multiple revenue streams in place. Frankfurt 2023 and London 2023 dates have been announced.

BRICKLIVE

In 2021, our business in Q1 and Q2 was still impacted by continued COVID-19 restrictions. The majority of the previously postponed events from 2020 largely took place in 2021 with a handful occurring in 2022. Several new events with first time customers also went ahead.

In Q1 we signed a contract within our corporate build division representing a Climate Change Environment with a branch of the UK Environment Agency.

In March 2021 a contract for BRICKLIVE Supersized with John Ball Zoo (USA) was signed and ran from May 2021 until September 2021.

BRICKLIVE Supersized popularity was confirmed with a further booking for Naples Zoo that was secured in April 2021 and followed on from John Ball Zoo in October 2021. The sunshine strategy (using assets all year round in 'summer' states) continued to bear fruit for the Group in 2021.

Q3 saw bookings with Wolverhampton Art Gallery (BRICKLIVE Fantasy Kingdom), McArthur Glen Italy (Nick Jr) and an additional USA booking with Capron Zoo in Massachusetts for BRICKLIVE Animal Paradise.

Q4 saw a variety of Christmas bookings and further USA and European events, including Les Grands Prés Shopping de Wallonie, Mons, Belgium; Les Automnales, Geneva, Switzerland; and Naples Zoo, Florida, USA.

One event we are extremely proud of is the inaugural BRICKLIVE Brickosaurs Tour at Singapore Zoo which ran from November 2021 until May 2022. It represented a return to business in Asia despite extremely challenging COVID-19 restrictions which continue to hamper further growth in the region. Singapore Zoo is one of the most iconic zoos in the world and it was a privilege to work with the team there. BRICKLIVE received a lot of positive social media exposure thanks to Singapore Zoo.

During 2021 BRICKLIVE continued its building program which culminated in Brickosaurs Evolution, which launched at Marwell Zoo at the end of March 2022. We also saw an increased demand in consumer sets and corporate builds including a bespoke kit for Ineos.

Trading has remained extremely difficult for much of 2021 with COVID-19 restrictions limiting the number and size of events and as a result the Division has continued to make losses in the trading period. However, I am encouraged by the return to close to full operational capacity with 42 events taking place in 2021 (down from a high of 71 in 2019) and 40 already scheduled for 2022.

LCSE

In December 2020 we announced the creation of a new Sports and Entertainment division - Live Company Sports and Entertainment ('LCSE'). The division focuses on live sports, entertainment, and music events.

Due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19 there were no events for most of 2021 however The Cape Town Cycle Tour finally took place on 10 October 2021, which was a great success.

A number of events have been confirmed for 2022 and 2023 including, the 2022 and 2023 editions of The Cape Town Cycle Tour, Pick n Pay Wine Festivals and the Cape Town stopover of the Global Ocean Race (confirmed for February 2023).

Formula E

With the acquisition of E Movement Holdings Limited. ('EMHL') in December 2020 LVCG acquired the right to sell sponsorship and the management for the upcoming Formula E race in Cape Town planned for the February 2023, (postponed from February 2022 due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in South Africa).

E Movement (Pty) Limited ('EMPL'), the South African based promoter of Formula E, Cape Town, has signed a contract with Formula E Holdings for the rights to promote the Cape Town Formula E race for a 10-year period beginning 2023.

In March 2021 I met with Formula E and its major sponsors for the Cape Town track reveal. There will be several additional related events in 2022 as we prepare for the inaugural Cape Town race.

StART Art Global Limited Investment

In May 2021 we announced the subscription for a minority interest of 18.6% of issued share capital in Start Art Global Limited ('StART.Art'). StART.Art is building an online sales platform (with several potential revenue streams including potential for non-fungible tokens ('NFT's).

The StART.Art platform was soft launched on 22 June 2021 and went live in October 2021. In November StART.Art acquired Start 2013 Limited, the promoter of the physical Start Art Fairs. In May 2022 StART.Art launched StART Art Fair Seoul which is due to take place in September 2022.

At the end of 2021 the LVCG shareholding in StART.Art increased to 19.9% following a reorganisation of the capital structure of StART.Art.

Corporate

In May 2021 and December 2021, we raised a total of £1.9m via two separate placings to facilitate the investment into StART.Art and to fund the initial capital requirements for the launch of KPOP.Flex (prior to ticket revenue being generated) and to provide working capital for the Group. Post balance sheet in March 2022 we raised £0.8 million (gross) via a placing - introducing a new institutional client into the share register.

Following the resignation of three Directors in February 2021 and as referred to in the announcement on 4 May 2021 the Company appointed a new independent Non-Executive Director Stephen Birrell. The Company still intends to conduct a full board review with the intention of making further changes during the latter half of 2022.

Financial Review

The Group continued to makes use of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme receiving a total of £185,000 (2020: £425,000) during the year.

Pre-exceptional items EBITDA (PXEBITDA)

The Group uses the alternative performance measures PXEBITDA to allow the users of the consolidated financial statements to gain a clearer understanding of the underlying performance of the business without the impact of one off non-recurring costs of an exceptional nature.

Revenue

Revenues from operations increased 44% from £1,857,000 in 2020 to £2,674,000 in 2021; with the new LCSE division contributing £849,000 (2020: £nil) and BRICKLIVE contributing £1,825,000 (2020: £1,857,000) a fall of 3% resulting from a fall in fees paid by international licence partners due to the ongoing effects of COVID-19.

Regional analysis

The impact of COVID-19 continued to be felt in all markets and sectors in which the Group operates however it was felt most acutely in Asia where revenues fell 66%, from a very low base in 2020 Europe has increased 555% and the launch of LCSE has significantly increased revenues from the Middle East and Africa region.

	2021	2020
	£'000	£'000	% change
United Kingdom	999	1,013	(1%)
Europe	321	49	555%

Asia	147	434	(66%)
Middle East & Africa	893	96	830%
	2,674	1,857	44%

Gross profit

Due to the higher operating costs of remaining COVID-19 compliant and reduced revenues associated with lower visitor numbers and restricted opening during the pandemic gross profit per event was significantly reduced, additionally a material component of cost of sales comprises depreciation on content assets which are not dependent on the number of events or revenue. Thus Gross profit for the year was £36,000 (2020: gross loss £699,000).

Exceptional items

Exceptional items as detailed in Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements totalled £364,000 (2020: £4,355,000), These relate to IFRS 2 share option and warrant charges and transactional and reorganisational costs, and the impairment of associate and intangible assets.

Finance costs

Finance costs comprise loan interest charges, interest on lease liabilities in accordance with IFRS 16, and other interest charges.

Tax

The tax charge relates to deferred tax arising on timing differences and an adjustment to the prior year relating to Research and Development Tax Credits.

Loss per share

The loss per share decreased to 2.6p (2020: loss 9.8p) as set out in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

Cash flows

The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows is set out below.

Statement of Financial Position

The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2021 shows the Group's total net assets having decreased to £5,422,000 (2020: £5,769,000).

Capital expenditure

The Group maintained a reduced build programme throughout the year, completing three new tours Animal Wonders, Caledonia and a second Paw Patrol set as well as augmenting the existing Christmas , this equated to content additions during the year of £586,000 (2020: £921,000).

Investments and impairment

In May 2021 the Company subscribed to 389 ordinary shares in Start Art Global Limited. ('StART.Art'), representing a non-controlling stake of 18.6% of the total issued share capital of the company, for a total consideration of £1,000,000. Prior to the transaction StART.Art was 100% owned by David Ciclitira and Ranjit Murugason as detailed in Note 32.

In November 2021 StART.Art acquired the entire issued share capital of Start (2013) Limited, the promoter of the StART Art Fair, in an all share transaction, resulting in a decrease in the Company's interest in the enlarged group from 18.6% to 14.4% with no diminution of value. Prior to the acquisition Start (2013) Limited was 100% owned by David Ciclitira and Ranjit Murugason.

In December 2021, following a reorganisation of the capital structure of StART.Art, StART.Art issued a further 180 ordinary shares to LVCG for nominal consideration increasing LVCG's holding to 19.9%.

In November 2021 the Company purchased 271 ordinary shares, representing 20% of the total issued share capital, in E Movement (PTY) Limited ('EMPL') from David Ciclitira for a total consideration of £113,460. These shares were originally purchased by David Ciclitira (acting in his personal capacity) for the same amount in anticipation of them being transferred to the Company. EMPL is the South African based promoter of the Cape Town E Prix which has been confirmed for Series 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship and due to take place in February 2023.

As detailed in Notes 15, 16, 17 and 18 to the consolidated financial statements the Directors considered the carrying value of investments, goodwill and intangible assets including in the in light of the continued impact of COVID-19, together with the effects of the measures taken to contain it, in the markets in which the Group operates and have determined the changes, as described in the following table, were required at 31 December 2021.

Change in carrying value	Group	Company
	£'000	£'000
Brick Live Far East Limited	-	-
Brick Live Group (incorporating Bright Bricks Limited)	-	3,816
Parallel Live Group	(12)	(116)
Total (decrease)/increase	(12)	3,699
Net goodwill/investments 1 January 2021	896	6,025
Additions	-	1,113
Net goodwill/investments 31 December 2021	884	10,838

This partially reverses the 2020 impairment in the carrying value of the Company's investment in Brick Live Group.

Cash and debt position

At the year end, the Group had total cash balances of £211,000 (2020: £168,000) and total borrowings of £1,678,000 (2020: £2,045,000) giving a net debt figure of £1,467,000 (2020: £1,877,000). During the year, the Group raised new equity in May 2021 and December 2021 as detailed in Note 27.

As at 31 May 2022 the Group had total cash balances of £114,000 and total borrowings of £1,434,000.

Share options and warrants

During the year 1,500,000 (2020: 75,000) warrants were issued to investors and service providers resulting in an exceptional charge as detailed in Notes 6 and 30 to the consolidated financial statements.

In addition 11,428,572 (2020: 16,810,000) warrants were issued to investors as part of an equity raise and are therefore outside the scope of IFRS 2 and consequently there is no share-based payment charge in respect of these warrants.

Going concern

Based on the Group's balance sheet and a review of its forecast future operating budgets and forecasts, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least twelve months from the date of signing of these consolidated financial statements. This review of future operating budgets and forecasts included certain reasonable downside scenarios and confirmed that even in the case of such downside scenarios the Group could continue to operate and comply with all covenants in our banking facilities. Accordingly, the Directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the Annual Report and consolidated financial statements.

The Directors have assessed the viability of the Group over a five-year period, taking account of the Group's current position and prospects, its strategic plan and the principal risks and how these are managed. Based on this assessment, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet its liabilities as they fall due over this period.

In making this assessment, the Directors have considered the resilience of the Group in severe but plausible scenarios, taking into account the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group and the effectiveness of any mitigating actions. The Directors' assessment considered the potential impacts of these scenarios, both individually and in combination, on the Group's business model, future performance, solvency and liquidity over the period. Sensitivity analysis was also used to stress test the Group's strategic plan and to confirm that sufficient headroom would remain available under the Group's credit facilities. The Directors consider that under each of these scenarios, the mitigating actions would be effective and sufficient to ensure the continued viability of the Group. The Directors believe that five years is an appropriate period for this assessment, reflecting the average length of the Group's contract base; key markets; and the nature of its businesses and products.

These financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis as modified by use of the fair-value basis where required and in accordance with UK adopted International Accounting Standards (IFRS), and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS as at 31 December 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts in the financial statements which are disclosed in Note 3 to these consolidated financial statements.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group are presented in UK Pounds Sterling ("GBP"), rounded to the nearest thousand.

1.1 Going concern

These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income shows a loss of £3,377,000 for the year ended 31 December 2021 (2020: £8,233,000 loss). The Consolidated Statement of Financial Position shows net current assets of £177,000 (2020: £1,244,000 net current assets). In assessing going concern the Directors have considered the Group's cash flows, solvency and liquidity positions.

Consequently, the Directors have prepared these consolidated financial statements on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.

1.2 Adoption of standards effective in 2021

The following new and revised Standards and Interpretations have been issued and are effective for the current financial period of the Company:

· Interest Rate Benchmark Reform Phase 2 - amendments to I FRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7,
IFRS 4 and IFRS 16; and

· COVID-19 Related Rent Concessions (Amendment to IFRS 16).

1.3 IFRS in issue but not applied in the current financial statements

The following IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations have been issued but have not been applied by the Company in preparing these financial statements as they are not as yet effective. The Company intends to adopt these Standards and Interpretations when they become effective, rather than adopt them early:

· Amendments to IAS 1 - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current;

· Amendments to IAS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before intended use;

· Amendments to IFRS 3 - Reference to the Conceptual Framework;

· Amendments to IAS 37 - Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract; and

· Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018-2020.

The directors do not expect that the adoption the Standards listed above will have a material impact on the Company in future periods.

A number of IFRS and IFRIC Interpretations are also currently in issue which are not relevant for the Company's activities and which have not therefore been adopted in preparing these financial statements.

Other new and amended Standards and Interpretations issued by the IASB that will apply for the first time in the next annual financial statements are not expected to impact the Company as they are either not relevant to the Company's activities or require accounting which is consistent with the Company's current accounting policies.

2. Accounting policies

2.1. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate:

· the results of LVCG, Brick Live Group Limited ('Brick Live Group'), Parallel Live Group Limited ('Parallel Live Group'), Bright Bricks Limited ('Bright Bricks Group'), Live Company Sports and Entertainment Limited ('LCSE'), E Movement Holdings Ltd ('EMHL'), Live Company Group EBT Limited ('EBT') and their subsidiary companies for the year ended 31 December 2021.

· the assets and liabilities of LVCG, Brick Live Group, Parallel Live Group, Bright Bricks Group, LCSE, EMHL, EBT and their subsidiary companies at 31 December 2021.

Business combinations

The information contained in this note sets out how the Group typically accounts for Business Combinations, which is effectively using the purchase method explained in IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations'.

Subsidiary undertakings are all entities over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the subsidiary and therefore exercises control. The existence and effect of both current voting rights and potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether control of an entity is exercised. Subsidiaries are consolidated from the date at which the Group obtains the relevant level of control and are de-consolidated from the date at which control ceases.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

The amendments to IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations' have clarified the definition of a business and have permitted a simplified assessment of whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a group of assets rather than a business. The Group has assessed it's acquisitions on the basis of this amendment.

The cost of an acquisition is measured as an aggregate of the consideration transferred, measured at the acquisition date fair-value and the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group measures the non-controlling interest in the acquiree at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Subsequent changes in the proportion of the non-controlling interests, which do not result in de-recognition of the subsidiary, are accounted for in equity. Costs incurred in connection with acquisitions are recognised as exceptional costs in the income statement, as incurred.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions at the acquisition date.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair-value of the Group's previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured to fair-value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Goodwill is initially measured at cost being the excess of the consideration transferred over the Group's share of net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

If this consideration is lower than the fair-value of net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognised in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any recognised impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to either the acquired business or to each of the Group's cash generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units.

Where goodwill forms a part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation when determining the gain or loss on disposal of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in these circumstances is measured based on the relative values of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit until retained.

Formal impairment reviews were completed at 30 June 2021 and 31 December 2021 given the indicators of impairment existing at both dates.

Brick Live Group

In 2017 the reverse acquisition of LVCG by the Brick Live Group resulted in goodwill arising of £4,581,000. This goodwill was fully impaired in the year ended 31 December 2017.

Bright Bricks Group

In October 2018, the Group acquired Bright Bricks Group, resulting in goodwill arising of £86,000. This goodwill was fully impaired in the year ended 31 December 2020.

Parallel Live Group

In December 2017, the Group acquired Parallel Live Group, resulting in goodwill arising of £1,271,000. The carrying value of the goodwill was reduced from £896,000 to £884,000 in the year ended 31 December 2021.

Brick Live Far East Limited ('BLFE')

In December 2017, the Company became the 100% owner of BLFE. Goodwill of £2,950,000 arose on the acquisition. BLFE is a company registered in Hong Kong which owns a 49% stake in the Brick Live Group's China associate company, Brick Live Centre Education Development (Beijing) Company Limited. This goodwill was fully impaired in the year ended 31 December 2020.

Live Company Sports and Entertainment ('LCSE')

In December 2020 the Group established its new LCSE division, through an all share acquisition of Live Company Sports and Entertainment Limited, including its 50% interest in K-Pop Europa Limited; the novation of a number of contracts from World Sport South Africa (Pty) Limited and the acquisition of the entire issued capital of E Movement Holdings Ltd.

The substance of these transactions was the acquisition of a series of contracts rather than a business combination as defined in IFRS 3, 'Business Combinations'. The transactions were therefore accounted for as additions to intangible fixed assets of £1,450,000 with no goodwill arising.

Intercompany balances

All intercompany balances are eliminated on consolidation.

Subsidiary companies audit exemption

The company's active subsidiaries Bright Bricks Limited, Brick Live Group Limited, Brick Live International Limited, Live Company Group EBT Limited, and Parallel Live Group Limited are exempt from the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 relating to the audit of their individual accounts by virtue of section 479A of the Companies Act 2006.

2.2. Intangible fixed assets

Trademarks are registered in each of the geographical territories for the BRICKLIVE brand. Trademarks are amortised on a straight line basis over their estimated useful lives, which is on average 10 years.

Acquired contracts are amortised over the period of the rights acquired, where contracts are renewable and are likely to be renewed for a further period such further period, but no subsequent periods, is considered to be part of the period of the rights acquired.

2.3. Investment in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but does not have control or joint control over those policies. The Group uses the equity method of accounting for its associate.

A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. The Group uses the equity method of accounting for its joint ventures.

Start Art Global Ltd. ('StART.ART')

In May 2021 the Company subscribed to 389 ordinary shares in Start Art Global Limited. ('StART.Art'), representing a non-controlling stake of 18.6% of the total issued share capital of the company, for a total cash consideration of £1,000,000. Prior to the transaction StART.Art was 100% owned by David Ciclitira and Ranjit Murugason as detailed in Note 32.

In November 2021 StART.Art acquired the entire issued share capital of Start (2013) Limited, the promoter of the StART Art Fair, in an all share transaction, resulting in a decrease in the Company's interest in the enlarged group from 18.6% to 14.6% with no diminution of value. Prior to the acquisition Start (2013) Limited was 100% owned by David Ciclitira and Ranjit Murugason as detailed in Note 32.

In December 2021 StART.Art issued a further 180 ordinary shares to LVCG for nominal consideration increasing LVCG's holding to 19.9%.

The Directors reviewed the investment and concluded LVCG did not exercise significant influence over StART.Art due to its holding being less than the 20% threshold at which significant influence is presumed to exist and there being no contrary indicators of significant influence:

· Although David Ciclitira and Ranjit Murugason are Directors of both LVCG and StART.Art, LVCG does not have the power to appoint or remove directors of StART.Art;

· LVCG is not a party to the StART.Art shareholder agreement and has no reserved powers; and

· LVCG does not participate in the key strategic and operational decisions of StART.Art.

E-Movement (PTY) Limited. ('EMPL')

The Directors reviewed the investment and concluded LVCG did not exercise significant influence over EMPL despite a shareholding of 20%, being the threshold at which significant influence is presumed to exist. The presumption was rebutted on the basis that EMPL was actively seeking an additional investor which would reduce LVCG's holding below the threshold and that other indicators of significant influence were not met as follows:

· Although David Ciclitira is a Director of both LVCG and EMPL the board of directors is controlled by EMPL's largest shareholder which is an unrelated third party;

· LVCG has no reserved powers in the Shareholder Agreement and such powers that are exercisable are exercised jointly with the other shareholders; and

· LVCG does not participate in the key strategic and operational decisions of EMPL.

2.4. Property, plant and equipment

All property, plant and equipment assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Content is capitalised in the periods in which they are purchased or completed and valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Depreciation is provided on content assets over eight years on a straight-line basis to reflect their useful life. Residual values, remaining useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

Depreciation is provided on other fixtures, fittings and office equipment over five years on a straight-line basis. Residual values, remaining useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and adjusted if appropriate.

2.5. Leases

In accordance with IFRS 16, 'Leases' a right of use asset, being the present value of the operating lease payments over the remaining life of the lease, has been recognised within non-current assets. The right to use assets and corresponding lease liability were calculated using a discount rate of 9% which the Directors consider to be appropriate, based on the Group's current borrowing structure. The depreciation of the assets and interest charge are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year and the buildings maturity analysis of lease liabilities at 31 December 2021 is detailed in Note 25 .

2.6. Impairment of assets

The carrying amounts of the Group's assets, other than inventories, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

Where there is an indication that previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed. The reversal is limited so that the carrying value of the asset or its cash-generating unit does not exceed either its recoverable amount, or the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation/amortisation, had no impairment loss been recognised in prior years. Such a reversal is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

2.7. Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using a weighted average cost method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. The majority of inventories are measured at fair value following the acquisition of the Bright Bricks Group in October 2018 as detailed in Note 19 .

2.8. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group's statement of financial position when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Financial assets

The Group classifies its financial assets as either financial assets measured at amortised cost, fair value through profit and loss or fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).

Financial assets at fair value through OCI consist of equity investments in other companies or limited partnerships where the Group does not exercise either control or significant influence.

Financial assets at fair value through OCI are shown at fair value at each reporting date with changes in fair value being shown in OCI. In cases where the Group can reliably estimate fair value, fair value will be determined in reference to practical completion of each development project.

All assets for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 - Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

• Level 2 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable; and

• Level 3 - Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

Financial instruments are derecognised on the trade date when the Group is no longer a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

2.9. Share based payments

The Company issues equity settled share-based payment transactions to certain employees and service providers. Equity settled share-based payment transactions with employees are measured at the fair value at the date of grant. The calculation of fair value at the date of grant requires the use of management's best estimate of volatility, risk free rate and expected time to exercise the options.

Equity settled share based payment transactions with service providers are measured at the fair value of the goods or services received, except where the fair value cannot be reliably estimated, in which case they are measured at the fair value of the equity instrument granted, measured at the date the entity obtains the goods or the counterparty renders the service.

2.10. Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables are stated at their amortised cost. Trade receivables are reduced by appropriate allowances for estimated irrecoverable amounts.

A loss allowance is recognised on initial recognition of financial assets held at amortised cost, based on expected credit losses, and is re-measured annually with changes appearing in profit or loss. Where there has been a significant increase in credit risk of the financial instrument since initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured based on lifetime expected losses. In all other cases, the loss allowance is measured based on 12-month expected losses. For assets with a maturity of 12 months or less, including trade receivables, the 12-month expected loss allowance is equal to the lifetime expected loss allowance.

2.11. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash equivalents comprise short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

2.12. Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables are stated at their amortised cost.

2.13. Interest-bearing borrowings (other than compound financial instruments)

Interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments through the expected life of the financial liability.

2.14. Revenue recognition

Revenue is the value of goods and services provided by the Group to customers, net of VAT and discounts. Revenue includes licence fees, revenue from the sale of products, rental fees, sale of content (brick-based statues), brick lease fees and ticket sales from self-promoted events.

Revenue from contracts is recognised in accordance with IFRS 15 as follows:

i. Identify the contract with the customer;

ii. Identify separate performance obligations in the contract;

iii. Determine the transaction price;

iv. Allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations; and

v. Recognise revenue when the entity satisfies a performance obligation.

Revenue recognised as above is measured on the following basis:

i. Annual licence fees - on a straight-line basis in accordance with the terms of the agreement, unless it is non-refundable in which case fees are recognised on the contractual invoice date;

ii. Event licence fees and revenue shares - in accordance with the terms of the agreement;

iii. Content fees - on delivery of the specific content to the client in accordance with the terms of the agreement;

iv. Tour and show rental fees - in accordance with the terms of the agreement;

v. Brick lease fees - on a straight-line basis in accordance with the terms of the agreement;

vi. Ticket sales from self-promoted events - on the date of the event; and

vii. Sales of products - in accordance with contract.

2.15. Deferred taxation

Deferred tax is provided in full using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax is the future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities shown on the Statement of Financial Position.

The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of recovery or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

The Group does not recognise deferred tax liabilities, or deferred tax assets, on temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, as it is not considered probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. The carrying amounts of the deferred tax assets are reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered.

2.16. Segmental reporting

The Group has three operating segments, namely: Models and Sets, Tours and Trails and Sports and Entertainment. In identifying these operating segments, management generally follows the Group's service lines representing its main products and services (see Note 4).

For management purposes, the Group uses the same measurement policies as those used in its consolidated financial statements, except for certain items not included in determining the operating profit of the operating segments, such as exceptional costs.

In addition, corporate assets and expenses which are not directly attributable to the business activities of any operating segment are not allocated to a segment. This primarily applies to the Group's headquarters.

2.17. Foreign currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities expressed in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. Differences on exchange arising on translation of subsidiaries are charged directly to other comprehensive income. All other exchange differences have been charged to the profit or loss in the period under review.

2.18. Exceptional items

Exceptional items are those costs incurred by the Group which are considered by the Directors to be material in size and are unusual and infrequent in occurrence which require separate disclosure within the financial statements. See Note 6 for details of exceptional items in the year.

2.19. Government grants and assistance

Government grants and assistance are recognised in the related expense line in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a systematic basis over the period in which the entity recognises the expense, for which the grant is intended to compensate.

Therefore, grants in recognition of specific expenses are recognised in the related expense line in the same period.

The Group continued to makes use of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme receiving a total of £185,000 (2020: £425,000) during the year.

2.20. Reserves

Reverse acquisition reserve

The reverse acquisition reserve of (£24,268,000) arose in December 2017 with the acquisition of 100% of the issued share capital of Brick Live Group, 100% of the issued share capital of Parallel Live Group and the remaining 61.1% of Brick Live Far East Limited not already owned indirectly by the Group via Brick Live International Limited, The transaction was treated as a reverse acquisition on a consolidated bases with Brick Live Group Limited considered to be the acquirer for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements with the cumulative acquisition adjustment to adjust comparatives to a consistent basis in the consolidated financial statements treated as a reverse acquisition reserve.

Forex reserve

The forex reserve of £570,000 comprises all foreign currency differences arising from translation of the financial position and performance of certain subsidiaries, which have a functional currency different to the Group's presentation currency of GBP.

Own shares reserve

The own share reserve of (£2,111,000) arose in August 2020 on the creation of the Employee Benefit Trust ('EBT'), following the termination of the ESA described in Note 33, and the EBT's acquisition into trust of 5,726,480 ordinary shares in the Company previously held by YA II and RiverFort (representing 6.51%. of the Company's issued share capital at the time). Movement on the reserve reflects changes in the number of shares held by the EBT during the year.

Merger reserve

The merger reserve of £14,472,000 comprises:

· £4,833,333, being the premium recognised on the issue of 16,666,666 new ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1p and a price of 30p in consideration for the entire issued share capital of Brick Live Group Limited in December 2017;

· £966,666, being the premium recognised on the issue of 3,333,3334 new ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1p and a price of 30p in consideration for the entire issued share capital of Parallel Live Group Limited in December 2017;

· £2,851,297, being the premium recognised on the issue of 9,832,060 new ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1p and a price of 30p in consideration for the remaining 61.1% of the issued share capital of Brick Live Far East Limited not already owned indirectly by the Company through Brick Live International Limited in December 2017;

· £5,415,385, being the premium recognised on the issue of 8,461,536 new ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1p and a price of 65p in partial consideration for the entire issued share capital of Bright Bricks Holdings Limited in October 2018; and

· £405,000, being the premium recognised on the issue of 941.860 new ordinary shares with a nominal value of 1p and a price of 44p in partial consideration for the entire issued share capital of Bright Bricks Holdings Limited in November 2019.

Capital Redemption Reserve

The capital redemption reserve of £5,034,000 comprises the cumulative effect of previous reorganisations in the capital of the Company and represents the value of shares redeemed from retained earnings.

Share option reserve

The share option and warrant reserve of £515,000 is attributable to the accumulated charge relating to share options and warrants issued by the Company which is recognised over the vesting period of the share option or warrant. This is partially offset by the accumulated charge relating to lapsed share options and warrants, which is transferred to retained earnings.

3. Accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting practice, being UK adopted International Accounting Standards, requires the Directors to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenditure and the disclosures made in these consolidated financial statements. Such estimates and judgements are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies as set out above, and the key sources of estimation which management consider may have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the reported amounts in the year, were:

Impairment of investments and goodwill

The Directors have carried out impairment reviews of the Group's intangible assets, goodwill, investments and the share of net assets of associates as detailed in Notes 15, 16, 17 and 18.

Depreciation and amortisation

Depreciation rates have been set to accurately reflect the reduction in value of property, plant and equipment assets over their economic life, less their expected residual value. This requires judgement by the Directors, who have set the depreciation rates as detailed in Note 2.4 to these consolidated financial statements based on their knowledge of the industry and typically how long each asset type retains its value.

Amortisation rates have been set to reflect the reduction in value of intangible assets over their economic life, less their expected residual value. This requires judgement by the Directors, who have set the amortisation rates as detailed in Note 2.2 to these consolidated financial statements based on their knowledge of the industry and typically how long each asset type retains its value.

Revenue recognition with customers

Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised in accordance with IFRS 15. This requires judgement as revenue transactions are subject to a variety of contract terms, albeit under the general guidelines of the accounting policies for revenue recognition as explained in Note 2.14 to these consolidated financial statements.

Share option and warrants

The Black-Scholes model is used to calculate the appropriate charge of the share options and warrants. The use of this model to calculate the charge involves a number of estimates and judgements to establish the appropriate inputs to be entered into the model, covering areas such as the use of an appropriate interest rate and dividend rate, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. A significant element of judgement is therefore involved in the calculation of the charge.

Carrying value of inventory

The Directors have carried out impairment reviews of the Group's inventory as detailed in Note 19 . Inventory is not readily replaceable and has a long economic life, a significant element of judgement is therefore involved in assessing it for impairment.

Carrying value of content assets

The Directors have carried out impairment reviews of the Group's content assets as detailed in Note 13 . Content assets are unique and have a long economic life, a significant element of judgement is therefore involved in assessing them for impairment.

Accounting treatment of investments, and acquisition

The Company has an interest, both directly and indirectly, in a number of entities over which it exerts a varying degree of control or influence. The accounting treatment of business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, and also consolidation of subsidiaries under IFRS 10 and treatment of associates under IAS 28 requires a significant element of judgement in assessing the extent to which the acquired entity represents a business combination or acquisition of assets and the extent to which it is controlled or influenced by the Group.

4. Segment reporting

The Directors have identified the Group's business segments by reference to the principal product and service lines offered and geographical organisation of the business as reported to the Executive Chairman, identified by the Directors as the chief operating decision-maker (CODM).

24. Financial risks

The Group and Company operations expose them to a number of financial risks. The Directors aim to protect the Group and Company against the potential adverse effects of these financial risks.

Financial assets

Financial assets include cash and trade and other receivables, excluding prepayments.

These amounts, where appropriate, have been shown separately on the face of the Statement of Financial Position. Funds not immediately required for the Group and Company's operations are invested in bank deposits. It is the Directors' opinion that the carrying values of cash, trade receivables and investments approximate to their fair values.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include current and non-current borrowings and trade and other payables (excluding taxation and social security and deferred income).

All amounts are carried at amortised cost. These amounts have been disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. It is the Directors' opinion that the carrying values of financial liabilities approximate to their fair-value.

Liquidity risk

The Group and Company's surplus liquid resources are maintained on short-term interest-bearing deposits. The Group and Company plans to continue to meet operating and other loan commitments as they fall due. Liquidity risk is managed through cash flow forecasts and regular planning.

Set out below are liquidity risk comparative tables as at 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020.

Group: Trade and other receivables	113	25	-	-	49
Company: Trade and other receivables	1,304	-	-	-	-

Trade and other receivables above exclude prepayments and accrued income.

The Group is exposed to credit risk on its cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of each financial asset.

Credit risk with respect to cash is reduced through maintaining banking relationships with established financial intermediaries with acceptable credit ratings. Bank deposits as at 31 December 2021 were £211,000 (2020: £168,000), all of which are considered of low credit risk.

Credit risk with respect trade and other receivables Is reduced through assessing all material new clients for credit risk prior to entering into a contractual relationship. All trade and other receivables are assessed regularly for credit risk and those which are past due by 90 days or more and where there has been a breakdown of communication with the client such that there is no longer confidence that the sum will be collectable are impaired to the extend they are no longer expected to be colectable.

Group trade and other receivables excluding prepayments and accrued income as at 31 December 2021 were £287,000 (2020: £187,000), all of which are collected and/or collectable and are considered of low credit risk.

Market risk

a. Interest rate risk

The Group had two outstanding interest bearing loans (one with NatWest Bank PLC and one with David Ciclitira) and the HP Agreement with Close Leasing Limited at the year end.The interest rates in respect of the HP Agreement and loan from David Ciclitira are fixed and in respect of the loan from NatWest Bank PLC is calculated in relation to bank Base Rate, there are no early redemption penalties associated with the NatWest Bank PLC loan and the risk is therefore considered to be insignificant.

b. Foreign currency risk

Although the Company is based in the United Kingdom, a significant part of the Group's and Company's operations are overseas, and the operating or functional currency of a large part of the global business is in US Dollars, Euros and South African Rand. As a result, the Group's sterling accounts can be affected by movements in the US Dollar/Sterling, the Euro/Sterling and the South African Rand/Sterling exchange rates.

The foreign assets and liabilities of the Group and Company are closely matched as at 31 December 2021. The table below sets out the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for the Group in their presentational currency (i.e. Sterling) and a total impact for each 10% fluctuation in exchange rates. Based on the carrying amounts of foreign assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2021, for each 10% fluctuation in exchange rates, net assets are expected to be impacted by £11,000 (2020: £16,000).

In 2019, a right of use asset, being the present value of the operating lease payments over the remaining life of the lease, was recognised. The right of use assets and corresponding lease liability have been calculated using a discount rate of 9%. The depreciation of the assets and interest charge are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year and the buildings maturity analysis of lease commitments at 31 December 2021 is detailed below.

Lease payments relate to leases of property. The Group does not have an option to purchase the leased property at the expiry of the lease period.

Due to the availability of UK tax losses, subject to agreement with the HMRC, there is an estimated deferred tax asset of £2,944,000 (2020: £2,648,000). This is not recognised due to the uncertainty of the timing of future taxable profits against which these losses could be utilised.

27. Share capital
