Chairman's Statement and Chief Executive's Review
We are reporting a total comprehensive loss from all activities
of GBP218,208 before tax against a total comprehensive loss of
GBP144,485 in the previous year. This year's results include
GBP30,058 of losses from discontinued activities (2018: GBP32,399).
Catena's consolidated cash balances as at 31 December 2019 were
GBP636,779 (2018: GBP535,329). The directors are not recommending
the payment of a dividend.
FUNDRAISE
As set out in the circular to shareholders issued in July 2019,
the Company raised GBP290,000 (before legal and other professional
expenses) by the issue of 2,000,000 new shares at 14.5p per share
in order to assist with the Group's working capital
requirements.
SPORT IN SCHOOLS LIMITED
Our focus in 2019 in terms of trading was the ongoing
development of our sports coaching trading activities through Sport
in Schools Ltd. The company's turnover increased by almost 9% to
GBP1,683,272 producing a profit of GBP119,705 representing an
increase of 19% on the previous year. The improved financial
performance results from a combination of increased turnover by
virtue of additional schools engaged, (142 schools in the academic
year 2019/20 as compared with 133 schools in the previous academic
year), increased income from existing schools and tighter control
of overheads.
As indicated in our Strategic Review, since the end of year,
trading has been severely impacted by school closures in March 2020
brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic. This has had an adverse impact
on cash flows. In response, the Group has taken aggressive action
to reduce costs, claim under the Government job support schemes and
raise further funds under the Government backed loan scheme. These
actions will enable the business to resume full operations when
schools re-open in September 2020 and mitigate against further
curtailment in sports activity in schools or indeed further school
closures.
With regards to the Sport in Schools activities, the directors
anticipate a return to profitability provided that no further
restrictions in school operations arise as described above.
PANTHEON LEISURE PLC ("PANTHEON")
Catena, holds 85.87% of the issued share capital of Pantheon
Leisure Plc which in turn owns 100% of the operating business of
the Sport and Leisure division trading as Sport in Schools Ltd also
known as The Elms Sport in Schools ("ESS"). Pantheon as a group
made a loss of GBP35,477 for the year ended 31 December 2019 (2018:
profit of GBP32,817). The group profit took into account GBP99,490
of non-recurring professional fees associated with land and
drainage issues at the Elms Sport in Schools recognised in the
year, which have now been fully resolved.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE
In accordance with changes to the AIM Rules regarding corporate
governance our Annual Report & Accounts and Company website
reflect compliance with (and any departures from) the guidance set
out in the QCA Corporate Governance Code.
PROSPECTS AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
In late 2019, Catena identified the enormous growth potential of
businesses operating in the machine learning and artificial
intelligence (AI) sector; announcing in January 2020 the change of
our name and the refocused strategy toward investment and
acquisitions in this sector. In March 2020, Catena began its
strategic transformation by acquiring a 9.1% stake in Insight
Capital Partners Ltd ("Insight"), as well as a six-month option to
increase our ownership to 30%, funded by a GBP1.5 million share
placing and GBP0.5 million issue of convertible loan notes. We have
been very satisfied with the progress made by Insight to date and
are continuing to build our engagement and strategy with
Insight.

A statement of cash flows from discontinued activities is set

1. General information
Catena Group Plc is a public company limited by shares,
domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales and its activities
are as described in the strategic report.
These financial statements are prepared in pounds sterling being
the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Group
operates.
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 2019 have been prepared under the historical cost
convention 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.
For the purpose of the preparation of these consolidated
financial statements, the Group has applied all standards and
interpretations that are effective for accounting periods beginning
on or after 1 January 2019. Except for IFRS 16, the adoption of new
standards and interpretations in the year has not had a material
impact of the Group's financial statements.
IFRS 16
The Group has adopted IFRS 16 in the financial statements for
the first time for the year ended 31 December 2019. IFRS 16 has
been applied under the modified retrospective approach and as such
there has been no restatement of the prior year figures. IFRS 16
replaces all existing lease requirements under IAS 17. Under IFRS
16 there is no longer any distinction between an operating and a
finance lease, all leases now result in the recognition of a
financial liability and a 'Right-of-Use' asset for the lessee.
Details of the impact upon transition and on the results and net
assets for the year are shown in Note 22.
Future standards in place but not yet effective:
No new standards, amendments or interpretations to existing
standards that have been published and that are mandatory for the
Group's accounting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2020, or
later periods, have been adopted early. The following standards and
amendments are not yet applied at the date of authorisation of
these financial statements:
- Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS
Standards (effective 1 January 2020)
- Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3) (effective
1 January 2020)
- Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8) (effective
1 January 2020)
- Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39
and IFRS 7) (effective 1 January 2020)
- Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-Current (Amendments
to IAS 1) (effective 1 January 2022)
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, in accordance with IFRS 10.
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 15.
All intra-group transactions and balances have been eliminated
in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
(b) Revenue recognition
Revenue arises from income from sports and leisure activities
undertaken by the Group; representing invoiced and accrued amounts
for services supplied in the year, exclusive of Value Added
Tax.
Consideration received from customers in respect of services is
only recorded as revenue to the extent that the Group has performed
its contractual obligations in respect of that consideration.
Management assess the performance of the Group's contractual
obligations against the sports and leisure activities as they are
delivered.
Revenue from sports and leisure activities is recognised as the
activity is provided, with payment due in advance of the
performance obligations.
The IFRS 15 practical expedient has been applied whereby the
promised amount of consideration has not been amended for the
effects of a significant financing component as at the contract
inception there are no contracts where the period between transfers
of promised services and customer payment is expected to exceed one
year.
Under the Group's standard contract terms, customers may be
offered refunds for cancellation of sports and leisure activities.
It is considered highly probable that a significant reversal in the
revenue recognised will not occur given the consistent low level of
refunds in prior years.
(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
in administrative expenses and is not subsequently reversed.
(d) Plant and equipment
Plant and equipment is 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
Prior to 1 January 2019: 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.
Post 1 January 2019: Assets held under leases are recognised as
assets of the Group at the fair value at the inception of the lease
or if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments.
The related liability to the lessor is included in the Statement of
Financial Position as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments
are apportioned between interest expenses and capital redemption of
the liability. Interest is recognised immediately in the
Consolidated Income Statement, unless attributable to qualifying
assets, in which case they are capitalised to the cost of those
assets.
Exemptions are applied for short life leases and low value
assets, with payment made under operating leases charged to the
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight- line
basis of the period of the lease.
(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 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 requires 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 carrying value of goodwill at the year end and
the impairment review calculation are given in note 14.
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 in 2017 to delay future plans for
further website development, all unamortised costs have already
been fully impaired.
Valuation of share-based payments
The Company has granted options to acquire its shares to a
director. On valuing the fair value of the share options granted
and hence the cost charged to profit or loss, judgements are
required regarding key assumptions applied. See note 25 for further
information relating to the assumptions applied.
5. Going concern
The directors have considered the financial impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic having prepared financial forecasts covering the
12 months following approval of these financial statements. The
forecasts take into account both turnover and cost expectations,
Central and local government assistance and a business interruption
bank loan of GBP240,000 repayable over a five-year period
commencing in July 2021. The forecasts show the Group can continue
to carry on trading within its existing finance facilities over
that period. There are however uncertainties regarding the
forecasts, relating to the reopening of UK schools in the Autumn
2020 and the full sports offering being available. At the date of
signing the financial statements the Directors have every
expectation that schools will re-open and physical education will
be a permitted subject and recognise the priority the Government
has placed on the normal operation of schools. In view of the this,
the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial
statements on a going concern basis.
The directors are however not able to predict any ongoing
developments in relation to the Global Covid 19- pandemic and in
particular whether the current plans relating to the re-opening of
schools and the provision of sports education will proceed as
planned, or indeed whether further closures could be imposed in the
future. Any curtailment of activities would impact cash flows
generated by the Group and, without any further external funds
being raised, if the curtailment were wide-spread and long-term
could cast doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a Going
Concern without further external funds being raised or government
support. This could also impact the carrying value of the
investment by the parent company in its subsidiary companies.
If the Group was unable to continue as a going concern then
adjustments would be necessary to re-classify fixed assets as
current assets, to write down the value of assets to their
recoverable amount and to make provision for further liabilities
that would arise on discontinuance of the business.
6. Business segment analysis
Business segments are identified based on the different trading
activities of the Group. Segmental information also details the
continuing and discontinued activities in the Group. All turnover,
profits, losses, assets and liabilities relate to operations
undertaken in the UK.

12. Loss per share
Basic loss per share has been calculated on the Group's loss
attributable to equity holders of the parent company of GBP213,197
(2018: GBP149,121) and on the weighted average number of shares in
issue during the year, which was 34,438,352 (2018: 29,174,996).
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 GBP213,197 (2018:
GBP149,121).
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 2019
on 4,160,000 ordinary shares and on 1,500,000 share warrants. Post
year end 4,000,000 new ordinary shares were subscribed for, which
would have significantly changed the number of shares in
calculating the loss per share if the transaction had happened
before the year end.
13. Loss for the financial year
As permitted by Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006, the
profit and loss account for the parent company is not presented as
part of these financial statements.

- Goodwill of GBP59,954 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 intangible assets costing GBP100 in 2013
following the acquisition of a subsidiary. The asset was fully
impaired and written off in 2018.
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, without the financial
impact of the Covid -19 pandemic, revenues would have continued
to grow in 2020 and 2021; 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 in 2017 to delay future plans for
further website development, unamortised development costs were
fully impaired and written off in in that year.

In March 2018, the Company issued new warrants to subscribe for
shares. 750,000 A Warrants and 750,000 B Warrants were issued
exercisable at a price of 10p and 25p respectively per new ordinary
share.
Warrants 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 13 March 2018 13 March 2018
Share price at grant date 15p per share 15p per share
Exercise price 10p per share 25p per share

Fair value per warrant 3.15p 2.8p
In accordance with IFRS2, the fair value of the warrants issued
and recognised as a charge in the accounts for the year is GBPNil
(2018: GBP10,800). In arriving at this amount, 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.

27. Capital management and financial instruments
The Group is solely equity funded which 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 GBP2,408,664 (2018: GBP2,388,664), share premium of
GBP1,048,031 (2018: GBP782,031), other reserves of GBP325,584
(2018: GBP325,584), and the retained deficit of GBP3,164,722 (2018:
GBP2,979,116).
During the year ended 31 December 2019 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 2019 and 31 December 2018, there were no material
differences between the fair value and the book value of the
Group's financial assets and liabilities. All financial assets and
liabilities are measured at amortised cost. Relevant financial
assets and liabilities are set out below.

For the parent company, trade and short-term payables excludes
tax and accruals of GBP26,442 (2018: GBP31,922).
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 credit and liquidity risks.
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 2019 was GBP81,575 (2018: GBP62,768).
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. As explained in note 5 the
subsidiary company, Sport in Schools Limited is susceptible to any
further impact on the provision of sports teaching in schools,
which in turn could negatively impact both the liquidity of that
parent company and the group.
The directors do not consider changes in interest rates have a
significant impact on the Group's cost of finance or operating
performance.
All financial assets are due within one year. The maturity
analysis can be seen in note 17.
As the Group's operations are conducted in the United Kingdom,
risks associated with foreign currency fluctuations are not
relevant.
28. Post balance sheet events
Since the year end the Group has been affected by the Covid-19
pandemic. See the Strategic Report and Note 5 for further details
of the impact of this on the Group.
In March 2020 GBP1.5 million before expenses was raised by way
of an issue of 4,000,000 new Ordinary Shares at a price of 25 pence
per shares and the issue of GBP0.5 million convertible loan notes.
GBP1.5 million of the net proceeds were used to finance an
investment in Insight Capital Partners Limited.
