Final Results and Notice of AGM

Ultimate Sports Group PLC, the AIM listed investment vehicle, is pleased to announce its results for the year ended 31 December 2017.  The Company also gives notice that its Annual General Meeting ('AGM') will be held at the Hellenic Centre 16/18 Paddington Street, London W1U 5AS on 29 August 2018 at 11.30am.  Copies of the Notice of AGM together with the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2017 will be posted to shareholders and be available to view on the Company's website www.ultimatesportsgroup.me.

Chairman's Statement and Chief Executive's Review

Our continuing trading activities - primarily through our subsidiary Sport in Schools Limited (also known as The Elms Sport in Schools) - resulted in a combined turnover of £1,369,193 (2016 - £1,248,490) and an operating loss, before non-recurring and exceptional items, of £233,650 (2016 - £287,433).

The UltimatePlayer.me online platform is fully functional and operating satisfactorily. Whilst Ultimate Player took steps last year to expand the reach of its online platform, it became clear that it would require a substantial budget to cover marketing, promotion and advertising to secure its commercial viability.  With that in mind, your directors decided that it was appropriate to write off non-recurring and exceptional items relating to the development costs of the platform amounting to £563,325.

During the second half of 2017 your directors concluded that further funding was required for the company to promote its activities and seek to expand its horizons. Due to the limited marketability of the company's shares, any further fund raising for the company was unlikely to be achieved by share placings with private investors. Accordingly, your directors decided that any requirement for additional funds would need to be sourced by a party taking a strategic stake.

In December 2017, an initial meeting was held with Mr Richard Bernstein.  There followed in rapid succession a series of meetings, which, despite turbulent market conditions, resulted in a successfully negotiated transaction. Mr Bernstein offered and the company accepted (with shareholder approval) Mr Bernstein's proposal to take a strategic stake in the company. In addition, the company entered into an agreement with Mr Bernstein pursuant to which Mr Bernstein will seek to introduce the company to potential investment or acquisition opportunities.

The details of the entire transaction - which raised new funds of £537,500 before expenses - were announced in February 2018 and approved by shareholders at a General Meeting in March 2018.

Going forward your directors will continue to focus on the development of Sport in Schools Limited and carefully look for and appraise any and all acquisition opportunities, including those proposed by Mr Bernstein. In addition, Ultimate Player will explore new avenues designed to make its online platform commercially viable.

We are pleased that this strategy can be conducted from a firm financial base.

Notes to the group and parent company financial statements

1.            General information

Ultimate Sports Group Plc is a public company limited by shares, domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales and its activities are as described in the chairman's statement and directors' report on page 2 and page 4 respectively.

These financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling being the currency of the primary economic environment in which the group operates.

Basis of Preparation

The condensed Group financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 included in this report do not constitute statutory accounts.  The condensed Group financial statements are extracted from the Group's statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017.  The auditor has reported on those statutory financial statements; their report was unqualified and did not contain statements under s498(2) or (3) Companies Act 2006 or equivalent preceding legislation.

While the financial information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), this announcement does not itself contain sufficient information to comply with IFRSs.

The condensed Group financial statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with that adopted in the previous year's published financial statements and in accordance with IFRSs.

The Group expects to publish statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2017 that comply with both IFRSs as adopted for use in the European Union and IFRSs as compliant with the Companies Act 2006 and Article 4 of the EU IAS Regulations based on the information presented in this announcement.

The condensed financial statements were approved by the Board on 27 June 2018.

Audited statutory accounts for the year ended 31 December 2016 have been delivered to the registrar of companies.  The Independent Auditors' Report on the Annual Report and Financial Statements for 2016 was unqualified, did not contain a statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006, but did contain a paragraph of emphasis of matter relating to going concern without qualifying their report.

2.            Basis of Accounting

The consolidated financial statements of the group and the financial statements of the parent company for the year ended 31 December 2017 have been prepared under the historical cost convention except for the revaluation of available-for-sale investments to fair value and are in accordance with International Financial Reporting standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the EU. These policies have been applied consistently except where otherwise stated.

Future standards in place but not yet effective:

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standards were effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018:

•              IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments

•              IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers

At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following Standards were effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019:

•              IFRS 16 - Leases

The following amendments to Standards are all effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2018:

•              IFRS 2 - Classification and measurement of share-based payment transactions

•              IFRS 4 - Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts

Except for IFRS 16, see below, the directors do not believe that there will be a material impact on the financial statements from the adoption of these standards / interpretations

IFRS 16 requires the recognition of an asset and liability by introducing a lessee accounting model.  As at 31 December 2017, the group has an asset and liability in respect of leases accounted for on the basis of IFRS 16 of approximately £80,000.

There were no material changes in the financial statements as a result of adopting new or revised accounting standards during the year.

3.            Significant accounting policies

(a)          Basis of consolidation

The financial statements of the group incorporate the financial statements of the company and entities controlled by the company, which are its subsidiary undertakings.  Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of its subsidiary undertakings so as to benefit from their activities.

Details of subsidiary undertakings are set out in note 18.

All intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.

(b)          Revenue

Revenue arises from the disposal of available-for-sale investments and income from sports and leisure activities undertaken by the company and its subsidiary undertakings. In the case of sports and leisure activities it represents invoiced and accrued amounts for services supplied in the year, exclusive of value added tax and trade discounts.

(c)           Intangible assets

Goodwill arising on consolidation represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the group's interest in the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of subsidiary entities at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill which is recognised as an asset is reviewed for impairment at least annually. Any impairment is recognised immediately in the statement of comprehensive income and is not subsequently reversed.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the group's cash generating units expected to benefit from synergies of the combination. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in a subsequent period.

On disposal of a subsidiary, associate or jointly controlled entity, the amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the profit or loss on disposal.

Goodwill arising on acquisitions before the date of transition to IFRS's has been retained at the previous UK GAAP amounts subject to being tested for impairment at that date.

Development costs are expensed in arriving at the operating profit or loss for the year unless the directors are satisfied as to the technical, commercial and financial viability of individual project. In this situation, the expenditure is recognised as an asset and is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis.

Any impairment is recognised immediately in the income statement and is not subsequently reversed.

Development costs recognised as an asset are amortised over a 10 year life, which commenced in   September 2015 with the initial launch of the website.

(d)          Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment are stated at cost less depreciation.  Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less their estimated residual value over their expected useful lives.

The rates applied to these assets are as follows:

Plant & equipment	25%  & 10% straight line
Motor vehicles	33.3%  straight line

(e)          Operating leases

Rentals applicable to operating leases, where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor, are charged against revenue as and when incurred.

(f)           Deferred taxation

Deferred taxation is provided in full in respect of timing differences between the treatment of certain items for taxation and accounting purposes.  The deferred tax balance is not discounted.

The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that the group anticipates making sufficient taxable profits in the future to absorb the reversal of the underlying timing differences.

 (g)         Trade receivables

Trade receivables are recognised at fair value.  A provision for impairment of trade receivables is established where there is objective evidence that the company or group will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.  Significant financial difficulties of the debtor, probability that the debtor will enter bankruptcy or liquidation and default or delinquency of payments are considered indicators that the trade receivable is impaired.  The amount of the provision is the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognised in the income statement within administrative expenses.  When a trade receivable is uncollectable it is written off against the allowance account for trade receivables.

(h)          Investments

Investments are classified as available for sale, and are measured at fair value. Gains or losses in changes in fair value are recognised directly in equity, until the security is disposed of or is determined to be impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in equity is included in the net profit or loss for the period. Impairment losses recognised in profit or loss are not subsequently reversed through profit or loss.

Fair value of quoted investments is based on current bid prices. If an investment is suspended from trading, fair value is based on quoted bid prices on the first day that trading recommences following suspension.

Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less provision for impairment in the parent company balance sheet.

(i)           Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.  Bank overdrafts are shown as borrowings within current liabilities.

(j)           Financial liabilities and equity

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into.  An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to new shares are shown in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

Trade payables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred.  Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost, any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowing using the effective interest method.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the date of the statement of financial position.

4.            Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the group's financial statements require the directors to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that effect the application of policies and reported amounts in the financial statements. These judgements and estimates are based on the director's best knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. Information about such judgements and estimation is contained in the accounting policies and/or notes to the financial statements.

Deferred tax asset

At the present time the directors' do not consider that there is sufficient certainty regarding the utilisation of tax losses available in the group. As a result, no deferred tax asset has been recognised.

Impairment of goodwill

Determining whether goodwill is impaired requires an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units to which the goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise from the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate in order to calculate present value. The carrying amount of goodwill is the deemed cost on first time application of IFRS.

Details of the impairment review calculation are given in note 17.

Impairment of investment in subsidiary undertakings

The company holds listed investments through various subsidiary undertakings. The values of these investments have been assessed based on their current quoted market value. These values have been used to estimate the recoverable value of the subsidiary undertakings. Where the estimated recoverable value of the company's investments in these subsidiary undertakings is less than the carrying value, the investment has been written down to the estimated recoverable value.

Impairment of intangible assets

The carrying value of intangible assets comprising unamortised website costs are determined by reference to an assessment of future income generated by the UltimatePlayer.me platform. Having regard to the Board's decision to delay future plans for further website development, all unamortised costs be fully impaired in the year as an exceptional item (note 8).

	£		£
Loss on ordinary activities before taxation	(724,787)		(590,313)

Research and development tax credits	(17,241)		(7,454)
Tax credit	(17,572)		(6,836)

In recognition of the effects on taxation arising from the revaluation of the group's available-for-sale investments, a deferred tax adjustment to the provision by £331 (2016: £618) has been made and reflected as an adjustment to equity. During the year claims for tax credits in relation to research and development costs were made giving rise to cash credits of £17,241. These claims related to expenditure incurred to December 2015.

15.          Loss per share

Basic loss per share has been calculated on the group's loss attributable to equity holders of the parent company of £709,470 (2016: £566,581) and on the weighted average number of shares in issue during the year, which was 22,211,434 (2016:17,809,583).

Comprehensive loss per share is based on the same number of shares and on the comprehensive loss for the year attributable to the equity holders in the parent company of £710,977 (2016: £569,238).

In view of the group loss for the year, share warrants and options to subscribe for ordinary shares in the company are anti-dilutive and therefore diluted earnings per share information is not presented. There are options outstanding at 31 December 2017 on 210,000 ordinary shares.

16.          Loss for the financial year

As permitted by Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006, the profit and loss account for the company is not presented as part of these financial statements.

Goodwill of £59,954 included above relates to the acquisition of Pantheon Leisure Plc which is included at its deemed cost on first time application of IFRS.

The Group acquired £100 of intangible assets in 2013 at the time of acquisition of a subsidiary.

Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated, at acquisition, to cash generating units ("CGUs") that are expected to benefit from that business combination. The carrying amount of goodwill relates wholly to the leisure activities business segment.

The recoverable amounts of the CGUs are determined from value in use calculations. The key assumptions for the value in use calculations are those regarding forecast revenues and operating costs. Management have taken into account the following two elements:

(i)   Based on current assessments of the Sport in Schools activities made by the directors, they consider that revenues will continue to grow in 2018 and 2019; and

(ii)  Operational costs are monitored and controlled

Development costs

Ultimate Player Limited continued to operate the UltimatePlayer.me platform during the year. As a result of the decision taken by the Board to delay future plans for further website development, unamortised  development costs have been fully impaired and written off as an exceptional item (see note 8).

28.         Reserves

Retained earnings represent the cumulative retained profit or loss of the group.

Share premium is the amount subscribed for share capital in excess of nominal value and is a capital reserve required by UK company law.

The merger reserve is a non-statutory reserve and represents the difference between the fair value and nominal value of the shares exchanged for shares on acquisition of Reverse Take-Over Investments Plc which took place in 2003.

The fair value reserve represents the cumulative surplus and deficits on recognition of available-for-sale investments at fair value, less tax attributable to the net surplus.

29.         Post balance sheet events

Since the year end, the company raised a further £537,500 in March 2018 by an issue of 10,750,000 ordinary shares of 1p each at 5p per share following a reorganisation of the share capital with the sub-division of each 10p ordinary share into one new ordinary of 1p each and one deferred share of 9p each. The funds were raised to increase the working capital of the group.

There are no other post balance sheet events to be disclosed by way of note.

30.          Related parties

Details of the remuneration of directors are given in note 10. In addition to the information given in that note, the following provides further details of related party transactions involving the company and its directors.

The directors are considered to be the key management personnel of the group.

Simmonds & Co 

The group made payments of £38,904 [excluding VAT] (2016 - £35,080) as contributions towards office and secretarial costs to Simmonds & Co, Chartered Accountants, a practice in which G Simmonds is sole proprietor. No amounts were due at 31 December 2017 (2016 - £Nil).

R Owen

The company paid for office facilities of £23,686 (2016 - £ 22,431). No amounts were due to R Owen at the 31 December 2017 (2016- Nil).

31.          Share-based payment transaction

At the date of this report, 577,500 share options have been granted to employees or key executives involved in the group's trading operations.

During 2017 185,000 share options lapsed (2016 - 182,500). 

At the date of this report there remained share options to acquire 210,000 shares (2016 - 392,500) that are exercisable.

Details of share options granted are:

Share options to acquire 210,000 shares were originally awarded in 2011 and amended in 2012.

Share options to acquire 367,500 shares were awarded to employees and key executives in 2014.

Options are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.  The fair value per option granted and the assumptions used in the calculation are as follows:

Grant date	17 January 2011	6 March 2014	30 April 2014
Share price at grant date	25p per share	27.5p per share	27.5p per share
Exercise price	25p per share	27.5p per share	27.5p per share
Shares under option	210,000	167,500	200,000
Expected volatility	17.0%	20.9%	20.9%
Option life (years)	10 years	7 Years	7 Years
Expected life (years)	10 Years	7 Years	7 Years
Risk-free interest rate	2.0%	2.0%	2.0%
Fair value per option	0.4p	0.07p	0.07p
Annual charge under IFRS 2	£8,970	£1,586	£1,892

In accordance with IFRS2, the fair value of the share options issued and recognised as a charge in the accounts for the year is £Nil (2016 - £12,448).

In arriving at the above:-

The expected volatility is based on historical volatility, the expected life is the average expected period to exercise and the risk-free rate of return is the yield on a zero-coupon UK government bond for a term consistent with the assumed option life.

32.          Capital management and financial instruments 

The group is mainly equity funded which together with interest free borrowings of £2,000 represents the group's capital.

The group's objectives when maintaining capital are:

-    To safeguard the entity's ability to continue as a going concern, so that it can begin to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders; and

-    To provide an adequate return to shareholders by pricing products and services commensurately with the level of risk.

The group sets the amounts of capital it requires in proportion to risk. The group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it in light of changes in economic conditions and risk characteristics of the underlying assets. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce debt.

Capital for the group comprises all components of equity - share capital of £2,281,164 (2016: £2,048,664), share premium of £385,641 (2016: £393,454), other reserves of £325,584 (2016: £324,077), the retained deficit of £2,832,982 (2016: £2,123,512) and debts which comprises loans of £2,000 (2016: £5,500) and hire purchase commitments of £Nil (2016: £42,439).

During the year ended 31 December 2016 the group's strategy was to preserve net cash resources by limiting cash absorbed from losses and through good cash management.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the group's balance sheet when the group becomes a party to the contractual provision of the instrument.

At 31 December 2017 and 31 December 2016, there were no material differences between the fair value and the book value of the group's financial assets and liabilities other than the interest free loan which has a carrying value of £2,000 and a fair value of approximately £1,500. Relevant financial assets and liabilities are set out below.

Loans	2,000		5,500		-		-
	4,198		125,304		273,573		316,012

The group's financial instruments comprise available-for-sale investments, cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, loans and hire purchase obligations that arise directly from its operations.

Amounts shown in trade and other short term receivables exclude prepayments and deferred expenditure for the group of £27,235 (2016: £21,327) and VAT recoverable of £9,175 (2016: £22,760) for the group and £16,292 (2016: £10,962) of short term receivables and VAT recoverable of £7,430 (2016: £5,364) for the company.

Trade and short term payables exclude deferred income and accruals of £96,482 (2016: £73,222), tax and social security creditors of £74,981 (2016: £71,960) company for tax and accruals of £10,744 (2016: £9,500).

The group has not adopted a policy of using financial derivatives and does not rely on the use of interest rate hedges.

In common with other businesses, the group is exposed to risks that arise from its use of financial instruments.  There have been no substantive changes to the group's response to financial instrument risk and the methods used to measure them from previous periods.

The main risks arising from the group's financial instruments are market, credit and liquidity risks.

Market risk arises mainly from uncertainty about future prices of available-for-sale investments held by the group. The board monitors movements in the carrying value of its investments on a regular basis. As there are no remaining investments there is no longer any market risk attributable to investments.

Credit risk arises from trade receivables where the party fails to discharge their obligation in relation to the instrument. To minimise this risk, management have appropriate credit assessment methods to establish credit worthiness of new customers and monitor receivables by regularly reviewing aged receivable reports. There is no concentration of credit risk other than in respect to cash held on deposit at the company's bank as set out above.

The amount exposed to risk in respect of trade receivables at 31 December 2017 was £24,371 (2016: £41,763).

Liquidity risk arises in relation to the group's management of working capital and the risk that the company or any of its subsidiary undertakings will encounter difficulties in meeting financial obligations as and when they fall due.  To minimise this risk the liquidity position and working capital requirements are regularly reviewed by management.

The directors do not consider changes in interest rates have a significant impact on the group's cost of finance or operating performance.

As the group's operations are conducted in the United Kingdom, risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations are not relevant.
