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. In
particular the company worked hard on adding to its offerings for the upcoming
soccer seasons starting in the Autumn.
In August the Company announced that it entered into an exclusive licence
agreement with Flash Corp Technologies Ltd ("Flash Corp") by which the Company
has acquired a renewable 13-month license over the rights of FlashBet Wheel
App's design and technology in UK and Europe, for a consideration satisfied by
80,000,000 new ordinary shares of £0.001 each issued at market price of 0.55p in
ChallengerX, representing 18.91% of the enlarged issued share capital of
ChallengerX. Under the terms of the licence agreement, ChallengerX has the right
to continually extend the license on a year-by-year basis for a royalty fee
calculated as an amount equal to 10% of ChallengerX's yearly revenue. In
addition, at any time during or at the end of the licence term, ChallengerX will
have the right to acquire the exclusive rights to the intellectual property
relating to FlashBet Wheel App Technology in perpetuity for a consideration to
be satisfied by the issue of 900,000,000 shares.
Through its investment in the FlashBet Wheel App licence, the Company had
increased expenditure in the period relating to its marketing.
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 Company previously reported that
there was a shortfall of £168,000 in the subscription monies paid. Following the
failure of Aalto to pay the balance, Aalto disposed of 22,329,213 shares and
ChallengerX forfeited the remaining 33,226,343 Shares, in accordance with the
process set out in the Company's Articles of Association. The Company has
informed Aalto formally that the shares issued are now forfeited and has placed
33,226,343 in the Treasury. In addition, the Company has issued a formal claim
as a creditor for all amounts outstanding including interest.
Accordingly, the issued share capital of the Company will comprise 389,914,213
Shares of £0.01 each, with each share carrying the right to one vote, plus
33,226,343 Ordinary Shares held in Treasury. This figure should be used by
shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which
they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a
change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Conduct Authority's
Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
The Company had further announced that it had granted Aalto Capital AB a total
of 55,555,556 warrants to subscribe for new ordinary shares of GBP 0.001 each
(`Warrants'). These warrants have been withdrawn.
Outlook
The development of the marketing platform and furtherance of the FlashBet Wheel
App will require more expenditure. Additional funds will be sought for this.
However, ChallengerX's newly developed unique user conversion platform combined
with the interest in the Flashbet patented accumulator bet product indicates 2
clear tiers of potential revenue from both B2B and B2C consumers which the
Company hopes to achieve in the near term.

Notes to the financial statements
1. General information
ChallengerX plc is a public limited company limited by shares and was
incorporated in England on 7 June 2021 with company number 13440398. Its
registered office is 16 Great Queen Street, London, WC2B 5DG.
The Company's shares are traded on the Aquis Stock Exchange Growth Market under
symbol CXS and ISIN number
GB00BMD0WG01.
The Company was first incorporated on 7 June 2021.
The information for periods ended 30 September 2023 and 30 June 2023 are
unaudited.
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 30 September 2023, the Company had cash of £1,000. 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 £24,000 cash at bank.
In making their assessment of going concern, the Directors, having made due and
careful enquiry, are of the opinion that the Company will have access to
adequate working capital to meet its obligations for the period of at least 12
months from the date these management accounts are authorized for issue. The
Directors, have discussed the Company's position with its investors and
professional advisors. With its recent investment in Flash Corp, the Company,
together with Flash Corp's support, believes it will secure the funding required
to pursue its objectives.
The Directors believe strongly in the Group's potential. However, the success of
securing funding has been identified as a material uncertainty which may cast
significant doubt over the going concern assessment. Whilst acknowledging this
uncertainty, based upon the expectation of completing a successful fundraising
in the near future, and the continued support of its investors, the Directors
consider it appropriate to continue to prepare the financial statements on a
going concern basis.
