Ultimate Sports Group Plc ("USG" or the "Company")
Interim Results
Ultimate Sports Group Plc, the AIM listed investment vehicle,
announces its results for the six months ended 30(th) June
2016.
Chairman's Statement and Chief Executive's Review
For the six months ended 30(th) June 2016 we are reporting a
pre-tax loss of GBP199,253 (2015: loss GBP69,062).
Westside's net cash balances as at 30(th) June 2016 were
GBP461,814 (2015: GBP449,996). The Directors are not recommending
the payment of a dividend.
We are continuing our programme to develop the UltimatePlayer.me
brand and we expect to secure definitive progress in 2016.
UltimatePlayer.me
As shareholders are aware, we have been developing an innovative
online platform for children. This is a "free to view" method of
measuring, motivating and incentivising young children to enhance
their own personal sporting performance. Ultimate Player now covers
13 different sports.
We are pleased to report that the programme became fully
operational in 2016 and is now being put through its paces with a
core group of coaches, children and parents.
We are enthusiastic about the future of the Ultimate Player
brand as we launch UltimatePlayer.me and tap into our ESS platform
which as outlined below is already established and continues to
grow.
We have invested considerable time and money in the development
of the UltimatePlayer.me programme and the second stage is expected
to make definitive progress in the last quarter of 2016.
Pantheon Leisure Plc ("Pantheon")
Westside holds 85.87% of the issued share capital of Pantheon,
which in turn owns 100% of the operating business of Pantheon's
sport and leisure division.
Pantheon's sports and leisure division comprises two trading
companies, Sport in Schools Limited ('ESS'), also known as The Elms
Sport in Schools, and Football Partners Limited ('FPL') - also
known as The Elms Small Sided Football.
Pantheon as a group made a profit of GBP36,259 for the 6 months
ended 30(th) June 2016 (2015: loss GBP24,942).
Sport in Schools Limited ('ESS' - Elms Sport in Schools)
On a turnover of GBP664,087 (2015: loss GBP670,681), ESS has
contributed a divisional profit of GBP117,404 as compared with
GBP101,359 to 30(th) June 2015.
ESS specialises in the delivery of primary school sport -
covering the National Curriculum during the day and The Extended
Day before and after school hours (breakfast, lunchtime and
after-school clubs).
The majority of the breakfast and lunchtime clubs are provided
and paid for by the school, whilst the majority of after-school
clubs are paid for by parents.
Holiday camps are a successful area for ESS where it provides
sports tuition during the school holidays. The majority of the
camps are paid for by parents, whilst a few are paid for by the
school.
The ESS directors have developed bespoke skill sets which have
been adopted with great enthusiasm by its full time staff and part
time coaches. On average, 21,000 children are coached between 12 to
25 hours a week. All its coaches are highly qualified (minimum
level 2), DBS checked, child protection vetted and rigorously
trained by ESS in all the main disciplines required by the National
Curriculum. The management of ESS constantly monitors and assesses
the level of performance of its coaches throughout the school
year.
Football Partners Limited ('FPL')
The 5-a-side football operation enjoys full FA accreditation and
its activities (conducted through FPL) continue to be influenced by
a difficult market. Turnover (net of corporate fees) decreased by
1.7% to GBP216,536 which resulted in an operating loss of GBP38,805
(2015: Loss GBP33,886).
Outlook
The continuing success of the sports tuition activities of ESS
is encouraging and the directors consider that together with the
ongoing development of the Ultimate Player.me website there is
potential for significant growth.
We look forward to updating shareholders on progress.
