Directors Statement
Introduction
ChallengerX plc (the "Company" or "ChallengerX") is an investment company
quoted on the Aquis Stock Exchange ("AQSE") Growth Market. The Company was
incorporated on 7 June 2021 and its shares were admitted to trading on 23
December 2021.
Activities during the periods
The company continued to advance its development of a platform for the
promotion and marketing of sports clubs in both a traditional and
non-traditional way. Expenditure was particularly heavy in the quarter ended 31
December 2022 in terms of principally programmers costs which, as an accounting
policy, are written off as incurred. Further development and related costs will
be required as clients are brought on board.
In February 2023 the Company announced it had raised a total of GBP 250,000
(gross) from Aalto Capital AB, through the issue of 55,555,556 new ordinary
shares pursuant to a subscription letter. The payment relating to the fundraise
hasn't yet been fully received by the Company. The outstanding amount at 31
March 2023 of £250,000 is shown as the account of "Trade and other receivables"
on the Statement of Financial Position. As at the date of this report, the
Company has received £50,000. The Company is in ongoing conversations with the
investor to receive the remaining balance.
The Directors confirm that this current shortfall in the fundraise does not
impact the working capital position of the Company.
The Company also announced that it granted Aalto Capital AB a total of
55,555,556 warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares of GBP 0.001 each
('Warrants'). The Warrants are exercisable at 0.45 pence per ordinary share,
and for a period of 5 years from the date of issue.
Outlook
The development of the marketing platform as mentioned above will require more
expenditure and it is hoped that recoveries of monies sequestrated by the
French Authorities from the subsidiary SportsX SAS will assist in this regard.
Meanwhile the company will look to supplement its income by applying itself to
other project opportunities and will continue to review its business plan and
strategy by looking at transactions in other sectors that could lead to a
reverse transaction whilst keeping its establishment overheads as lean as
possible.

The information for periods ended 31 December 2022 and 31 March 2023 are

2. Basis of Preparation
The quarterly management accounts of ChallengerX plc have been prepared in
compliance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial
Reporting Standard 102, "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the
United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the Companies Act
2006.
These management accounts are prepared on a going concern basis, under the
historical cost convention, as modified by the recognition of listed
investments at fair value.
The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling, which is the
Company's presentation and functional
currency.
The preparation of the financial statements requires the use of certain
critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its
judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The
areas involving a higher degree of judgment and complexity, or areas where
assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements are
disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and
are presented in £'000 unless
otherwise stated.
3. Going Concern
As at 31 March 2023, the Company had cash of £31,000. As a newly established
trading business, the Company has limited operating cash flow and is dependent
on the performance of its trading and its cash balances for its working capital
requirements. As at the date of this report, the Company had approximately £
71,000 cash at bank.
The Directors continue to seek recovery of the sequestered funds held by the
Administrator of it's subsidiary, SportsX, which are believed to amount to
approximately £0.6m.
For this reason, it continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
financial statements.
