GUSCIO PLC - Unaudited Preliminary Results

PR Newswire

London, February 9

9 February 2015 Guscio PLC ("Guscio" or the "Company" or the "Group") Unaudited preliminary results for the year ended 30 September 2014 Chairman's Report I am pleased to present the Company's results for the year ended 30 September2014. As shareholders will be aware, the Company disposed of its two tradingsubsidiary companies on 8 September 2014, and was re-classified as anInvesting Company in accordance with the AIM Rules for Companies. In last year's Chairman's Report, my predecessor as Chairman, Terry Bate,highlighted a concern that the Board had at that time about the futuresustainability of the Group given the trading prospects of its two businesses.It was against this background that the decision was taken to dispose of thosebusinesses and to refocus the Company as an Investing Company. This year's financial statements therefore reflect the disposal of thebusiness. The loss from continuing operations was £177,000 (2013: £113,000loss) and a profit from discontinued operations, largely reflecting the noncash profit recorded on the disposal of the subsidiary companies, resulted inan overall profit for the year of £467,000 (2013: £289,000 loss). Since the year end, the Company has raised £200,000 from a placing of ordinaryshares which has stabilised the Company's financial position and has allowedit to make its first investment, being an investment of £125,000 in SportsdataLimited in the form of a convertible loan. Sportsdata Limited is a technologycompany that has developed and implemented a website application formonitoring and improving the physical literacy of children in association withthe Youth Sports Trust. The investment in Sportsdata Limited is in accordance with the Company'sInvesting Policy which is to invest in and/or acquire technology and mediacompanies and/or assets where the Board believes there are opportunities forgrowth which, if achieved, will be earnings enhancing for shareholders. I joined the Board as Non-Executive Chairman on 26 January 2015 and lookforward to helping the Company identify and make further investments whichwill enhance shareholder value. A copy of the Company's report and accounts for the year ended 30 September2014 together with a notice for its annual general meeting, to be held at 2.00p.m. on 25 March 2015 at the offices of Peterhouse Corporate Finance Limited,3rd Floor New Liverpool House, 15-17 Eldon Street, London EC2M 7LA, willshortly be posted to shareholders and will be made available on the Company'swebsite www.guscioplc.com.

Share premiumrelates to the amounts subscribed for share capital in excess of the nominalvalue of the shares. The share option reserve arose on the grant of share options to employeesunder the employee share option plan. At 30 September 2014 the Company had noemployees other than the directors. Retained earnings relates to cumulative profits and losses recognised in thestatement of comprehensive income. Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the year to 30 September2014 1 Accounting policies 1.1 Basis of preparation and consolidation The Company's financial statements are prepared under thehistorical cost convention. The Company's financial statements have beenprepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRSs) as adopted by the European Union and applied in accordance with theprovisions of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting underIFRS. The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statementsof the Company and its subsidiary undertakings made up to 30 September 2014. The principal accounting policies adopted by the Group are set outbelow. 1.2 Going concern The disposal of the trading subsidiaries was completed during theyear and as a result, Guscio Plc is now a non trading holding Company. Nosubstantive warranties or indemnities were given to the purchasers of thetrading subsidiaries and therefore the directors are not expecting any furtherliabilities arising from the disposal of these companies. £250,000 has beenraised in three separate placings, with £50,000 being raised before thebalance sheet date and £200,000 being raised subsequent to the year end. Thesefunds have allowed all historical creditors to be paid and has put the Companyin a position where it has sufficient cash resources to meet the on goingexpenses for at least a further 18 months. It is anticipated that the Companymay make new investments during this period but the directors will ensure thatany such investments can be funded in a prudent way. Therefore after makingenquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group hasadequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeablefuture. The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis inpreparing its consolidated financial statements. 1.3 Revenue recognition Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that theeconomic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliablymeasured. Revenue consists of the total value of goods sold in the year, netof value added tax and comprises amounts invoiced in respect of makingproductions. Where a production straddles two financial years, the amount ofrevenue, costs and profit are pro-rated based on the proportion of theproduction completed at year end. Distribution revenue arises from the licensing of programme rightswhich have been obtained under distribution agreements with either externalparties or Group companies. Distribution income is recognised in the income statement onsignature of the licence agreement and represents amounts receivable on suchcontracts. 1.4 Property, plant and equipment Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at the cost ofacquisition or production cost less accumulated depreciation and impairmentlosses. Depreciation is calculated to write down the cost less estimatedresidual value of all tangible fixed assets by the reducing balance method.The rates applicable are: Fixtures and fittings - 15% Office equipment - 33% Items of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairmentwhenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amountmay not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount bywhich the assets carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. 1.5 Investments Investments in subsidiaries are included at cost less anyaccumulated impairment losses. 1.6 Taxation Current taxes are based on the results of the Group companies andare calculated according to local tax rules, using the tax rates that havebeen enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is provided in full using the balance sheet liabilitymethod for all taxable temporary differences arising between the tax bases ofassets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reportingpurposes. Deferred tax is measured using currently enacted or substantivelyenacted tax rates. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent the temporarydifference will reverse in the foreseeable future and that it is probable thatfuture taxable profit will be available against which the asset can beutilised. 1.7 Foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are translated at the exchangerate ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities inforeign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange ruling at thebalance sheet date. All exchange differences are dealt with through the incomestatement. 1.8 Leased assets Costs in respect of operating leases are charged on a straight linebasis over the lease term. Leasing agreements or hire purchase contracts whichtransfer to the Group substantially all the benefits and risks of ownership ofan asset are treated as if the asset had been purchased outright. The assetsare included in fixed assets and the capital element of the leasing commitments is shown as obligations under finance leases. The lease rentalsare treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The capitalelement is applied to reduce the outstanding obligations, and the interestelement is charged against profit so as to give a constant periodic rate ofcharge on the remaining balance outstanding at each accounting period. Assetsheld under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease termsand the useful economic life of equivalent owned assets. 1.9 Financial instruments The Group uses financial instruments other than derivativescomprising cash and various items such as trade debtors, other creditors etc.that arise from its operations. The main purpose of these financialinstruments is to raise finance for the Group's business. The board approves treasury policies and senior management directlycontrols day-to-day operations. Surplus cash funds are deposited with thirdparty banks with high credit ratings in floating rate deposits. The securityof these deposits and the interest rates earned are monitored on a regularbasis against the products and services of competing financial institutions. The fair values of the financial instruments at the period endapproximate the book values. 1.10 Inventories and work in progress Work in progress represents expenditure relating to productionswhich have not yet been completed and is valued at the lower of cost and netrealisable value. It is the Group's policy to write off amounts relating toproductions that do not proceed within one year of inception. 1.11 Goodwill Goodwill arising on an acquisition represents the excess of thecost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the fair value ofidentifiable assets and liabilities acquired as at the date of the exchangetransaction. Goodwill is stated at cost less any accumulated impairmentlosses. Where an indication of impairment exists, goodwill is written downimmediately to its recoverable amount. An impairment review is performed annually in which the recoverableamount of the goodwill is calculated and compared with the carrying valuewithin the accounts. 1.12 Intellectual property rights Intellectual property rights are shown at cost and are beingwritten off on a straight line basis over ten years, or written-off in full ifconsidered to have no further residual value. Amortisation is included inadministrative expenses in the income statement. 1.13 Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents compromise cash at bank and in hand andshort term deposits. Short term deposits are defined as deposits with aninitial maturity of three months or less. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integralpart of the Company's cash management are included as a component of cash andcash equivalents for the purposes of the cash flow statement. 1.14 Trade and other payables Trade and other payables represent liabilities for goods andservices provided to the Company prior to the year end which remain unpaid atthe year end. Current liabilities represent those amounts falling due withinone year. 1.15 Share based payments In accordance with IFRS 2 share based payments, the Group reflectsthe economic cost of awarding shares and share options to employees byrecording an expense in the income statement equal to the fair value of thebenefit awarded, fair value being determined by reference to option pricingmodels. The expense is recognised in the income statement over the vestingperiod of the award. 1.16 Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are recognised by the Company andcarried at the original invoice amount less an allowance for any uncollectibleor impaired amounts. An estimate for the doubtful debts is made whencollection of the full amount is no longer probable. Uncollectible receivablesare written off as soon as the payment loss has been established. 1.17 Development costs Development costs are costs incurred in the course of developingprogrammes for commission and are written off as incurred. 1.18 Accounting estimates and judgements Details of significant accounting estimates and judgements havebeen disclosed under the relevant note or accounting policy for each areawhere disclosure is required. Principally these are valuation of work inprogress, trade receivables acquired intangible assets, goodwill impairmenttesting and revenue recognition. 1.19 Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs are charged to the profit and loss account on anaccruals basis, and added to the loan in liabilities if unpaid at year end. 1.20 Application of new EU endorsed accounting standards,amendments to existing EU endorsed standards and interpretations New Standards, amendments and interpretations effective for thefirst time for the financial year beginning 1 October 2013, but not currentlyrelevant to the Group (although they may affect the accounting for futuretransactions and events): IAS 1 (amendment) - `Presentation of items of other comprehensiveincome' IAS 12 (amendment) - `Income taxes' IAS 16 (annual improvements 2011) - `Property, Plant and Equipment' IAS 19 (amendment) - `Employee benefits' IAS 34 (annual improvements 2011) - `Interim financial reporting' IAS 32 (annual improvements 2011) - `Financial Instruments:Presentation' IFRS 1 (amendment) - `First time adoption' IFRS 7 (amendment) - `Financial Instruments' IFRS 13 - `Fair value measurement' IFRIC 20 (interpretation) - `Stripping costs in the productionphase of a surface mine' The above revised standards have not had any impact on theCompany's financial statements in the current year.

As detailed below, both transactions were to related parties andwere therefore subject to shareholder approval. Both transactions wereapproved at a General Meeting held on 8 September and therefore the salescompleted on that date. Pursuant to the Sale and Purchase Agreement for Talent TelevisionSouth Limited, Stitchcombe Productions Limited, a Company which isbeneficially owned and controlled by Bob Benton, who was at that stage aNon-Executive Director of the Company, and his wife, acquired the entireissued share capital of Talent Television South Limited for a maximum cashconsideration of £42,000. Of the consideration, £30,000 was payable oncompletion and the remainder was paid subsequent to the year end. The amount of intercompany debt to be novated to and assumed byTalent 2014 Limited for the acquisition of Talent Holdings Limited assumedthat the consideration monies became due and payable to the Company under theTalent South Sale and Purchase agreement. 9 Loss per share (a) Basic Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the loss attributable toequity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinaryshares in issue during the year. The calculation of the basic loss per ordinary share is based on: 2014 2013 Number NumberWeighted average number of Ordinary sharesin issue during the period 20,840,286 21,960,284Profit/(Loss) for the year (£'000) 467 (289)(b) Diluted Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weightedaverage number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume conversion of alldilutive potential ordinary shares. The Company has one category of dilutivepotential shares and share options. A calculation is performed to determinethe number of shares that could have been acquired at fair value (determinedas to the average annual market share price of the Company's shares) based onthe monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding shareoptions. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the numberof shares that would have been issued assuming the exercise of the shareoptions. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on: 2014 2013 Number NumberWeighted average number of Ordinaryshares in issue 20,840,286 21,960,284 Adjustments for dilutive effect of: - Employee share options 856,008 867,500 Weighted average number of ordinaryshares for diluted earnings per share 21,696,294 22,827,78410 Goodwill £'000GroupCost At 1 October 2012 and 30 September 2013 1,082Disposals During the year to 30 September 2014 (1,082)Net book amount as at 30 September 2014 - Net book amount as at 30 September 2013 1,082 See notes 8 and 12 for further details. 11 Property, plant and equipment Office Equipment Fixtures and Total £'000 fittings £'000 £'000GroupCost At 30 September 2012 137 37 174Additions D 5 5 -Disposals (134) (37) (171) ___________________­­­ ________ ________At 30 September 2013 8 - 8Additions in year - - -Disposals (8) - (8)At 30 September 2014 - - - DepreciationAt 1 October 2012 129 32 161Charge for the year 3 - 3Disposals (127) (32) (159) At 31 September 2013 5 - 5Charge for the year - - -Disposals (5) - (5) At 30 September 2014 - - - Net book valueAt 30 September 2014 - - -Net book valueAt 30 September 2013 3 - 312 Fixed asset investments Subsidiary undertakings £'000CompanyCost- At 1 October 2013 6,344 Amounts written off- At 1 October 2013 (4,145) Net book amount at 30 September 2013 2,199 Additions during the year to 30 September 2014 -Disposals during the year to 30 September 2014 (1,323)Net book amount at 30 September 2014 876Details of the Group's investments, which are wholly owned by the parentCompany and are included in the consolidated financial statements, are asfollows: Name of entity Principal activity Country of incorporation RMR Design Associates Ltd Dormant England & WalesGuscio 2 Limited Dormant England & WalesFair value information has not been disclosed for the investmentsas their fair value cannot be measured reliably.

The Subscribers were issued with one Warrant for each ordinaryshare subscribed for and these warrants will be exercisable at thesubscription Price (being 2.95 pence per share) at any time during the fiveyear period from the date of issue. In order to carry out the Subscription described above, it wasnecessary to reduce the nominal value of the Company's issued Ordinary Sharesat that date to an appropriate level which was less than the SubscriptionPrice. Accordingly, a share reorganisation was effected and became effectivefrom 8 September 2014 on the following basis: a. the previous Ordinary Shares of 1p each were consolidated intoordinary shares of 13p each at a ratio of 13 existing Ordinary Shares forevery 1 new ordinary share of 13p each; and b. each of the new ordinary shares of 13p each were then subdividedinto and reclassified as one New Ordinary Share (being an ordinary share inthe capital of the Company with a nominal value of 0.1p each) and one NewDeferred Share (being a B deferred share in the capital of the Company of12.9p nominal value). The New Deferred Shares carry negligible value as they do not carryany rights to vote or dividend rights and have not be admitted to trading onAIM and will not be transferable. The New Deferred Shares have limited rights,and are subject to the restrictions, set out in the Company's New Articles.
