and For the Six Months Ended 31 December 2024 and 2023 (Unaudited)

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies

 

2.1 Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies

 

These condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, using the same accounting policies and measurement principles as those applied in the audited IFRS financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2024. They do not include all the disclosures required for full annual financial statements and should therefore be read in conjunction with those statements. All amounts are presented in euro (€), which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency, and are rounded to the nearest unit. The accounting policies applied are consistent with those previously adopted, and there have been no new or amended IFRS standards or interpretations during the six-month period that materially affected the Company’s accounting policies, financial position, or disclosures. Estimates and assumptions used in preparing these condensed interim financial statements are consistent with those applied as of 30 June 2024, and continue to reflect management’s best judgment based on the information available. No foreign currency transactions were undertaken during the period, and accordingly, no exchange gains or losses have been recognized.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

2.2 Significant estimates

 

The preparation of the financial statements and related Notes in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates, assessments, and assumptions that affect the values of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The estimates, assessments, and assumptions used are based on experience and other factors considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates, assessments and assumptions used are based on experience and other factors considered relevant. The actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates, assessments and assumptions are reviewed periodically, and the effects of any changes are immediately reflected in the income statement or shareholders’ equity in the period in which the estimate is revised. The most significant financial statement items affected by these uncertainties are players’ registration rights (see Note 2.9), deferred taxes (see Note 2.22), provisions for risks and charges (see Note 2.17), and variable bonuses for registered personnel (see Note 2.23). The areas involving significant estimates are:

 

Estimation of Intangible assets— see Note 4.1.1

 

Estimate of Revenues — see Note 5

 

Estimation of Severance pay (T.F.R), see Note 4.4.1

 

Management does not consider there to be any significant judgments in the preparation of the financial statements. Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated. They are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the Group and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

 

2.3 Related party disclosure

 

In accordance with IAS 24, related parties include:

 

Shareholders and entities that exercise control or significant influence over the Company.

 

Members of the Board of Directors, key management personnel, and their close family members.

 

Subsidiaries, associates, and jointly controlled entities.

 

Entities in which key management personnel or shareholders hold significant interests.

2.3 Related party disclosure (continued)

 

Transactions with related parties are carried out under normal market conditions and reflect ordinary business operations of the Company. The balances of the statement of financial position and income statement arising from transactions with related parties are shown separately in the financial statements, if significant, and commented on the following sections of the financial statements:

 

Related Party Balances in the Statement of Financial Position –Shareholder loans (non-interest-bearing), see Note no. 4.4.5.

 

Related Party Transactions in the Income Statement –Sponsorships from Related parties, see Note no. 5.2.

Additional Disclosures

 

No commitments or contingencies exist in favor of related parties as of 31 December 2024.

 

No transactions have taken place with related parties outside normal business operations.

 

No impairment losses have been recognized on related party receivables.

 

2.4 Subsequent events

 

The Company has obtained from the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) the issuance of the National License for the 2024/2025 sporting season, authorizing participation in the Serie B championship (2nd Division), a category achieved following the remarkable victory of the Serie C tournament, in which the team remained at the top of the standings from the beginning to the end of the season. This significant sporting achievement is a key component supporting the Company’s business continuity, providing a solid foundation for future operational stability.

 

Subsequent to 31 December 2024 and up to the date of approval of these financial statements, the shareholder XX Settembre S.r.l. has continued to provide the Company with subordinated and interest-free shareholder loans, amounting to a total of €1.076.000.

 

Further, as of the date of preparation of these financial statements, in order to cover the Company’s losses, waivers by creditors of shareholder loans and capital contributions to cover losses have been executed through a notarial deed dated May 20, 2025. As part of this transaction, the Company increased its share capital in the amount of €1.197.233.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

2.4 Subsequent events (continued)

 

The overall results recorded during the initial months of the current financial year are consistent with the Company’s business plan and forecasts. These results further support the assessment of the going concern assumption. For a detailed explanation of the factors supporting the going concern assumption, please refer to the dedicated paragraph in Note 2.8 (or the relevant section of the financial statements).

 

In addition, on June 20, 2025, Brera Holdings PLC, an Irish company listed on the American NASDAQ completed the acquisition of a 52% equity interest in the Company, pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (“the XX Settembre Agreement”) with XX Settembre Holding S.r.l. (the “Seller”) dated December 31, 2024. Subsequent to 31 December 2024, the Company received cash consideration amounting to €1,500,000 and shares of Brera Holdings Class B Ordinary Shares valued at €1,000,000.

 

2.5 Commitments, Guarantees and Contingent Liabilities

 

In accordance with the disclosure requirements of IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and IAS 1.117, the Company reports the existence of commitments, guarantees and contingent liabilities not recognized in the Statement of Financial Position.

 

As of 31 December 2024, the Company had received surety guarantees from third parties, issued in favor of various counterparties to secure specific regulatory and sporting obligations. In particular:

 

A surety bond issued by GENERALI ITALIA S.p.A. for €350.000, serving as a guarantee for the Club’s registration in the 2024/2025 Championship.

 

Guarantee received from MPS (escrow agreement) for €611.467 as security for the budget overrun related to the remuneration of registered players for the 2024/2025 season.

 

These instruments represent off-balance-sheet commitments and do not meet the recognition criteria for liabilities under IAS 37.10–14, as no present obligation exists at the reporting date. Consequently, no provision has been recognized. Management continuously monitors these guarantees and considers the probability of any cash outflow to be remote.

 

2.6 Going Concern

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The directors consider that this basis of preparation is appropriate, considering the Company’s current financial position and forecasts.

 

The football club achieved promotion to Serie BKT following the 2023/2024 season and competed professionally in the 2024/2025 season as well as in the current season. This promotion is expected to significantly boost the club’s finances, with Lega B revenues projected to increase by approximately 20% in the second Serie B season due to the application of the Self-Regulation Code, which grants higher fund disbursements. The Company also recorded a substantial €2.5 million gain in July 2025 from the permanent transfer of a player (Andrea Adorante).

Notes to the Financial Statements
As of 31 December 2024 (Unaudited) and 30 June 2024
and For the Six Months Ended 31 December 2024 and 2023 (Unaudited)

 

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

2.6 Going Concern (continued)

 

The team’s recent achievement of the promotion play-offs and its current 7th-place standing in the Serie B table are anticipated to further facilitate new sponsorships and an increase in matchday ticket sales. Further, the entry of Brera Holdings PLC, an Irish company listed on the American NASDAQ has significantly strengthened the Company’s assets through capital increases, share premium, and the contribution of NASDAQ-listed securities, ensuring an adequate inflow of fresh capital to cover current needs and progressively reduce debt. Furthermore, the shareholders have committed to providing additional capital contributions, if required, to support the timely payment of multi-year installment plans for tax and social security contributions from prior years, which constitute the Company’s essential total liabilities.

 

Management prepares an annual budget and longer-term strategic plan, including an assessment of cash flow requirements, and continues to monitor actual performance against budget and plan throughout the reporting period. Based on these factors, including prudent assumptions around the men’s first team’s performance, and with reference to the Company’s balance sheet, existing committed facilities, but also acknowledging the inherent uncertainty of the current economic outlook, Management has concluded that the Company is able to meet its obligations when they fall due for a period of at least 12 months after the date of this report. For this reason, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis for preparing the annual financial statements.

 

2.7 Historical Cost

 

The financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, unless otherwise stated in the notes to the financial statement.

 

2.8 New and amended standards and interpretations

 

Accounting standards, amendments, and interpretations published by the IASB, applicable from July 1, 2023:

 

Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts: The new standard establishes the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of insurance contracts under IAS/IFRS international accounting standards. The objective of IFRS 17 is to ensure that an entity provides relevant information that faithfully represents such contracts. This information provides users of financial statements with a basis for assessing the effect that insurance contracts have on the entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.  IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017 and applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

2.8 New and amended standards and interpretations (continued)

 

Amendments to IAS 8 Definition of Accounting Estimates: The amendments are intended to clarify how to distinguish between changes in accounting policies and changes in accounting estimates. In order to provide greater guidance, the amendments clarify that the effects on an accounting estimate of a change in an input or valuation technique are changes in accounting estimates, unless they result from the correction of prior period errors. Furthermore, changes in accounting estimates resulting from new information are not corrections of errors. The amendments are effective from January 1, 2023.

 

Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2 Disclosure of Accounting Policies: The amendments are intended to support the decision on which accounting policies to disclose in the financial statements. In this regard: the amendments to IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements require disclosure of information on “relevant” (i.e., material) accounting policies, rather than “significant” ones; the amendments to “IFRS Practice Statement 2 - Making Materiality Judgments” aim to provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to disclosures about accounting policies. Disclosures about accounting policies, as required by IAS 1, are material if, taken together with other information included in the financial statements, they are reasonably expected to influence the decisions that primary users of the financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements.

 

Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes: Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction. The document clarifies how deferred taxes should be accounted for on certain transactions that may generate assets and liabilities of equal amount, such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments are effective from January 1, 2023 (early application is permitted).

 

Amendments to IFRS 16 Leases: Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback: the document requires the seller-lessee to measure the lease liability arising from a sale and leaseback transaction so as not to recognize any income or loss relating to the retained right of use. The amendments will apply from January 1, 2024, but early application is permitted.

 

Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent. The document aims to clarify how to classify debts and other liabilities as current or noncurrent. The amendments are effective from January 1, 2024 (early application is permitted).

 

Set out below are the recent IAS/IFRS amendments and interpretations, together with newly issued standards and the related European Union endorsement process.

2.8 New and amended standards and interpretations (continued)

 

The following new standards, amendments and interpretations became mandatorily applicable from 1 January 2024. Based on management’s assessment, they did not have any effect on the Company’s financial statements as of 31 December 2024

 

Amendments to IFRS 16 – Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback: These amendments specify the requirements that a seller-lessee applies when measuring the lease liability arising in a sale and leaseback transaction. The amendments had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Amendments to IAS 1 – Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current: These amendments clarify the criteria for classifying a liability as current or non-current. Following the publication of the October 2022 amendments, if an entity’s right to defer settlement is conditional upon compliance with specified conditions, such conditions affect the existence of the right at the reporting date if the entity is required to comply with the condition on or before the reporting date, but not if compliance is required after the reporting period. These amendments had no impact on the Company’s classification of liabilities.

 

Supplier Finance Arrangements – Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7: These amendments introduce new disclosure requirements in IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures regarding supplier finance arrangements. The amendments had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements: Issued in April 2024, IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 introduces new requirements for the presentation of the statement of profit or loss. The Company and the Group are currently assessing the impacts of these changes on their financial statements and notes. The standard is applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027.

 

IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 – Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments: These amendments clarify the criteria for classification and measurement of financial instruments, including instruments with cash flows linked to ESG-related features, and provide further guidance on derecognition principles when settlement occurs via electronic payments. The amendments are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2026.

 

IFRS 19 – Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures: Issued in May 2024, IFRS 19 allows eligible entities to apply reduced disclosure requirements while continuing to apply the recognition, measurement and presentation provisions of other IFRS Accounting Standards.

2.9 Summary of significant accounting policies

 

Multi-year professional football players’ rights

These consist of intangible assets with a finite useful life equal to the duration of the employment contracts signed with the players. The multi-year rights to players’ services are recognized at cost, including any directly attributable ancillary costs, and, where applicable, adjusted to reflect deferred payments over several years.

 

With reference to the accounting treatment of fees for services provided to the Company by authorized third parties (FIGC agents), in compliance with sector regulations and within the scope of transactions for the acquisition of multi-year rights to players’ services, it is specified that, in the absence of suspensive conditions (e.g., the player’s continued registration with the Company), such fees are capitalized, as they represent ancillary costs directly attributable to the definitive acquisition of the multi-year right. Conversely, they are recognized in the income statement when they are conditional upon the player’s continued registration with the Company or relate to services provided for the temporary acquisition or disposal (definitive or temporary) of such rights.

 

Fees for services provided in connection with the renewal of an employment contract are capitalized only when they are not conditional upon the player’s continued registration with the Company. In assessing going concern, the Directors also take into account the possible future financial effects that may arise from the occurrence of conditions linked to such fees.

 

The multi-year rights to players’ services are amortized on a straight-line basis over the duration of the contracts signed with the individual professional players. The original amortization schedule may be extended in the event of an early renewal of the contract. For players registered as “giovani di serie” (youth players), amortization is carried out over five years on a straight-line basis, while for those registered under an apprenticeship contract, amortization is based on the contractual term itself.

 

Multi-year rights to players’ services are recognized at the time when control of the right is transferred.

 

Temporary acquisitions and disposals of players’ rights, where lasting more than 12 months, are accounted for in accordance with IFRS 16. This does not apply in cases where temporary acquisition contracts include clauses providing for a mandatory purchase obligation upon the occurrence of specific events (e.g., the player’s first appearance in a season), which are already considered virtually certain at the transfer date. In such cases, multi-year rights to players’ services are recognized within intangible assets at acquisition cost, including any ancillary charges, and, where applicable, adjusted to reflect deferred payments over several years. Similarly, in cases where temporary disposal contracts include clauses providing for a mandatory transfer obligation upon the occurrence of specific events already deemed virtually certain at the transfer date, the multi-year rights to players’ services are derecognized from non-current assets and, where applicable, the related economic effects are recognized as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset.

2.9 Summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

Where indicators of impairment of multi-year rights to players’ services arise (for example, significant injuries, or market and contractual conditions that effectively prevent the transfer of players no longer aligned with the technical project), the residual carrying amount is written down accordingly.

 

Impairment of multi-year rights is also recognized when such rights are disposed of after the reporting date but before the approval of the financial statements, at an amount lower than their carrying value, where the terms of such disposals highlight a reduction in the value in use/recoverable amount of the multi-year rights already evident at the reporting date.

 

2.10 Other Intangible Assets and Leases

 

Other intangible assets, whether acquired externally or generated internally, are recognized as assets in accordance with IAS 38 (Intangible Assets) when they are controlled by the Company, are expected to generate future economic benefits, and their cost can be measured reliably.

 

Such assets are measured at acquisition and/or production cost and, if they have a finite useful life, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life, taking into account the expected residual value, and are written down in the presence of impairment losses.

 

As of 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2024, intangible assets mainly include:

 

Software licences

 

Patent rights

 

Multi-year registration rights of professional football players

 

Amortization is recorded over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

oSoftware: 5 years

 

oPatent rights: 5 years

 

oPlayer registration rights: over the term of the players’ contracts, usually 3 to 5 years

2.10 Other Intangible Assets and leases (continued)

 

IFRS 16 Leases establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of lease contracts. The standard requires lessees to account for all leases using a single on-balance sheet accounting model, similar to the previous treatment for finance leases under IAS 17. At the commencement date of a lease, the lessee must recognise a lease liability (representing the obligation to make future lease payments) and a Right-of-Use (ROU) asset (representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term).

 

Lessees are required to recognize interest expense on the lease liability and depreciation expense on the Right-of-Use asset separately in the profit or loss.

 

Lessees must reassess and remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate). The difference from the remeasurement of the lease liability is generally recognized as an adjustment to the Right-of-Use asset.

 

IFRS 16 includes two practical expedients (exemptions) that lessees may elect to apply to avoid the full on-balance sheet model:

 

1.Low-value assets (e.g., personal computers, small office furniture).

 

2.Short-term leases (i.e., leases with a term of 12 months or less).

 

The Company has not agreements in place that require the IFRS 16 accounting but only one-off rentals (vehicles for the transportation of the team to matches outside the hometown) or short-term leases with a term of less than 12-months.

 

2.11 Property, Plant and Equipment

 

Property, plant and equipment are recognized at acquisition and/or production cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Cost includes all expenses directly incurred to bring the asset to its intended use. Ordinary maintenance and repair costs are charged directly to the income statement in the period in which they are incurred, whereas costs of an incremental nature are capitalized.

 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis from the date the asset is available and ready for use, over the estimated useful life of the asset, according to the following rates:

 

The residual value and useful life of property, plant and equipment are reviewed annually and updated where necessary at each reporting date. Assets are also periodically tested for impairment. When an impairment loss no longer exists or decreases, the carrying amount of the asset is reinstated to its recoverable amount, but not above the amount that would have been determined had no impairment been recognized. The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement when it is considered definitive.

2.11 Property, Plant and Equipment (continued)

 

Gains and losses arising from the disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognized in the income statement and determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset.

 

Where an impairment loss is identified, irrespective of the amortization already recognized, the asset is written down accordingly. If, in subsequent periods, the reasons for the impairment no longer apply, the asset’s carrying amount is reinstated up to its original value, adjusted only for the depreciation/amortization that would have been recorded.

 

Ordinary maintenance costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred, while costs that increase the value or extend the useful life of the asset are capitalized and amortized over the remaining useful life of the related asset.

 

Composition:

 

The property, plant, and equipment, net, includes

 

General plant and machinery

 

Furniture

 

Electronic equipment

 

Equipment

 

Motor vehicles

 

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis by applying the following annual rates to the cost of the assets:

 

Asset category  Depreciation rate
(%)
 
Headquarters improvement     15.00%
General plant and machinery   15.00%
Equipment   15.00%
Furniture   12.00%
Electronic equipment   20.00%
Motor vehicles   15.00%

2.12 Financial Assets

 

Financial assets classified as security deposits are measured at amortized cost in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, as they are held to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI test).

 

Financial assets classified at fair value through profit and loss include equity investments in other companies. These instruments are managed on a fair value basis and do not meet the criteria for amortized cost, as their cash flows do not represent solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI test), and the Company has not elected to present changes in fair value through other comprehensive income. Accordingly, they are measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with IFRS 9.

 

2.13 Trade and other receivables

 

Trade and other receivables are classified and measured in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost, less an allowance for expected credit losses (ECL).

 

The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9 for measuring ECL, which requires recognition of lifetime expected losses on all trade receivables. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss and presented as a deduction from trade receivables.

 

Regular assessments are carried out to verify whether there is objective evidence that financial assets, either individually or within a group of assets, may have suffered an impairment loss. Where such evidence exists, the impairment loss is recognized as an expense in the income statement for the period. Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Expected Credit Loss (ECL) Assessment

 

As of year-end, management has assessed the recoverability of trade receivables in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. Under IFRS 9, paragraphs 5.5.15–5.5.20, entities are required to apply the Expected Credit Loss (ECL) model for trade receivables. For receivables without a significant financing component, the simplified approach is applied, requiring recognition of lifetime expected credit losses.

 

In line with IFRS 9.B5.5.35, entities may apply a provision matrix or other practical expedients to estimate ECL. While the Company does not operate a provision matrix based on 30/60/90 day ageing, management has exercised judgment as allowed by IFRS 9.B5.5.17, which requires consideration of forward-looking information and historical loss experience. Based on this assessment, trade receivables outstanding for more than 12 months have been considered unlikely to be recovered and were therefore written off against the allowance for expected credit losses as of 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2024 or allocated against the First time adoption reserve as of July 1, 2022 should be related to prior periods.

 

Other receivables, though not settled as of the reporting date, are still considered collectible, and thus no additional impairment adjustment has been made. In line with IFRS 9.3.3.1, a financial asset is derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows expire or when the asset is no longer enforceable.

2.14 Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, which are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, in accordance with IAS 7 – Statement of Cash Flows. As of 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2024, cash and cash equivalents consist mainly of balances held in current bank accounts.

 

Restricted cash:

 

Restricted cash consists of amounts that are not available for general use by the Company due to legal or contractual restrictions. These funds are typically held in escrow and is presented separately from cash and cash equivalents on the statement of financial position when material. The changes in restricted cash are included in the reconciliation of total liquid assets in the statement of cash flows.

 

Negative balances:

 

Certain bank current accounts were in overdraft (negative balances) as of 31 December 2024 and 30 June 2024. In accordance with IAS 32 and IAS 7, these negative balances do not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents and have therefore been reclassified to current liabilities under “Short-term borrowings”. Only positive balances are presented as cash and cash equivalents in the statement of financial position.

 

2.15 Deferred assets

 

Deferred assets include deposits, advance payments, and other expenditures that provide future economic benefits extending beyond the current reporting period. These are recognized at cost and represent amounts paid in advance for goods and services to be received in future periods, or refundable security deposits.

 

Prepayments are expensed in profit or loss when the related goods or services are received.

 

Deposits are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost under IFRS 9, as they are held to collect contractual cash flows and the cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

 

2.16 Loans and Other Financial Liabilities, Trade Payables and Other Payables

 

Loans and other financial liabilities, bank overdrafts, trade payables and other payables are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Unless otherwise indicated, the carrying amount approximates fair value.

 

Liabilities are measured at amortized cost, considering the time factor. Where the contractual interest rate of a transaction is not significantly different from the market rate, the liability is initially recognized at its nominal value, net of directly attributable transaction costs, premiums, discounts and allowances arising from the transaction. Such transaction costs – including ancillary charges for obtaining financing, any fees and commissions, and any difference between the initial and nominal value at maturity – are allocated over the life of the liability using the effective interest method.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

2.16 Loans and Other Financial Liabilities, Trade Payables and Other Payables (continued)

 

Where the contractual interest rate of a transaction is significantly different from the market rate, the liability (and the corresponding cost in the case of commercial transactions) is initially recognized at the present value of future cash flows, taking into account directly attributable transaction costs. The discount rate applied to future cash flows is the market rate at the date of initial recognition.

 

They are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, unless another specific IFRS applies. They are presented in accordance with IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements based on their nature and expected timing of settlement.

 

The carrying amount of liabilities is subsequently reduced by amounts paid, whether principal or interest. The Company considers the effects arising from the application of amortized cost and discounting as immaterial where the maturity of the liabilities is within 12 months, taking into account all contractual and substantive considerations existing at the time of initial recognition, and where the transaction costs and any difference between the initial and nominal value at maturity are not material. In such cases, discounting is omitted, and interest is recognized at nominal value, while transaction costs are capitalized under other intangible assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the liability as an adjustment to nominal interest expense.

 

2.17 Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized only when a present obligation (legal or implicit) exists as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions represent the most reliable discounted estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation. The discount rate used to determine the present value of liability reflects current market rates and assessment of the risk specific to each liability.

 

Contingent liabilities, where the occurrence of an outflow is only possible, are disclosed in the notes without recognizing a provision. Provisions are generally charged to the income statement under the relevant cost categories. Where such direct correlation is not feasible, provisions for risks and charges are recorded in the appropriate income statement captions.

 

2.18 Revenues and other incomes

 

Revenue is recognized in accordance with IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires revenue to be recognized when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation by transferring a promised good or service to a customer. Revenues are measured at the transaction price, which is the amount of consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the promised goods or services, excluding VAT and similar indirect taxes. Revenues are presented net of discounts, bonuses, and returns.

2.18 Revenues and other incomes (continued)

 

The Company has identified the following main categories of revenue typical of football sector activities:

 

Sponsorship and advertising income – Revenue is recognized over the term of the commercial agreement in line with the performance obligations included within the contract and based on the sponsorship rights enjoyed by the individual sponsor. In instances where the sponsorship rights remain the same over the duration of the contract, revenue is recognized as all the obligations are satisfied evenly over time (i.e. on a straight-line basis). Revenues deriving from the sale of television rights and revenues deriving from the signing of sponsorship contracts must generally be allocated to the year in question according to the so-called “physical time” criterion, i.e. allocating the revenue in exact proportion to the period for which the year is due. In the case of annual contracts with a fixed fee, the consideration will be accounted for in full at the time of issuing the invoice or collection and will be included in the Income Statement for the year in question for the total amount. If the sponsorship contract provides for variable fees linked to the achievement of certain results, during the year, the fees are invoiced or collected for the part of the fixed portion. With regard to the variable part, it should be noted that, if at the end of the year the team has obtained the sporting results provided for in the contract, i.e. the condition precedent to which the recognition of the variable part of the consideration is subject is met, even if this variable portion will constitute income for the year, regardless of whether the relevant invoice has been issued or the related credit has been collected. At the end of the year, a deferred income must be recognized, in the event that an amount of consideration greater than the portion pertaining to the year has been invoiced or collected, or a receivable for invoices to be issued, in the event that during the year an amount of consideration lower than the portion pertaining to the year has been invoiced.

 

Ticketing and matchday income - The balance includes revenues deriving from the sale of tickets and season tickets. Juve Stabia offer single game tickets, group tickets and various full and partial season ticket packages. The football club utilizes a variable and dynamic pricing strategy to manage differences in demand and to help drive attendance and eliminate the perceived difference in value for certain games, which is often exploited in the secondary market. Revenue is recognized when each performance obligation is satisfied i.e. sale of tickets, merchandising etc.

 

Broadcasting/television rights - Represents revenue receivable from all broadcasting contracts. Match revenues, broadcasting rights and media income are recognized with reference to the period in which the performance obligation is satisfied, which coincides with the playing of the match. Season ticket revenues collected at the end of the season preceding the relevant one are deferred and recognized in the income statement on the same basis.

 

Store and merchandising revenues (whether settled in cash or value in kind) - comprises revenue receivable from the licensing and promotion of the Juve Stabia brand through sponsorship and other commercial agreements, including minimum guaranteed revenue.

2. Basis of preparation and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)

 

2.18 Revenues and other incomes (continued)

 

Contributions and public grants - The contributions paid to football clubs by the relevant League that is, the official governing body responsible for organizing the championship in which the Club participates (e.g. Lega Pro for Serie C) constitute contributions in an operating account that must be recognized on an accrual basis at the time when the right to the relevant payment is acquired. The settlement of these contributions takes place through the “League c/championship” account, which acts as a “clearing house” of credits and debts between football clubs and the competent League.

 

Player transfer rights – Revenue from the management of player rights arising from the disposal of multi-year rights to players’ services is recognized when control of the transferred right is transferred. Revenue from player management relating to the temporary disposal of multi-year rights to players’ services is recognized at the time of the player’s transfer and is deferred on a pro-rata basis over the relevant period.

 

All revenue streams are classified as operating revenues in the statement of profit or loss.

 

2.19 Costs

 

Costs are recognized on an accrual basis and recorded net of returns, discounts, allowances and rebates.

 

2.20 Salaries and Variable Bonuses for Players

 

Salaries payable to registered personnel are recognized based on the services rendered. Variable remuneration linked to the achievement of team sporting results (such as qualification for European competitions) and/or individual performance (such as number of appearances, goals scored, assists, squad retention (“loyalty bonus”), etc.) is recognized in the income statement when there is a legal or constructive obligation, based on the probable fulfilment of the contractually defined conditions. The Company generally identifies this point in time with the occurrence of the contingent event.

 

2.21 Finance Income and Expenses

 

Finance income and expenses are recognized in the income statement on an accrual basis. In particular, interest income and expenses are recognized using the effective interest method, which allocates interest over the relevant period by applying the effective interest rate to the outstanding carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts or payments over the expected life of the financial instrument to the carrying amount of the financial asset or liability.

2.22 Income Taxes

 

Income taxes for the year comprise current and deferred taxes.

 

Current taxes include all taxes calculated on the Company’s taxable income for the year and are determined on the basis of a reasonable estimate of the tax charges to be paid, in accordance with applicable tax legislation.

 

Deferred taxes are recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and their corresponding tax bases, using the tax rates that are expected to apply when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available in the future against which deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. Deferred taxes are recognized in the income statement, except for those relating to items recognized directly in equity, in which case the related deferred taxes are also recognized in equity.

 

2.23 Uncertain tax position

 

As of 31 December 2024, the ordinary statute of limitations for the assessment of IRES (Imposta sul Reddito delle Società – the Italian corporate income tax) and IRAP (Imposta Regionale sulle Attività Produttive – the regional tax on productive activities) has expired for all fiscal years up to and including June 30, 2018. Furthermore, the Company confirms that, as of the date of these financial statements, there are no ongoing tax audits or investigations by any tax authority. Consistent with this position and the effective application of tax law to date, the Company has determined that there are no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition or disclosure under the mandates of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 12 Income Taxes, as guided by the application requirements of IFRIC 23 Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.

 

2.24 Information relating to operating performance by business segment and geographical area (“Segment Information”)

 

Pursuant to IFRS 8, it should be noted that the Company’s primary business segment is participation in national and international soccer competitions; consequently, the economic and financial components of the financial statements are essentially attributable to this type of activity. Furthermore, all the Company’s activities are carried out at the national level.

3. Risks Related to Our Business

 

Contextual risks – Risks related to general economic conditions

 

The Company’s economic, financial and equity situation is influenced by the overall state of the economy. Should the current weakness and uncertainty of the Italian economy persist and/or deteriorate further, the Company’s activities and prospects could be adversely affected, especially with respect to sponsorships, stadium revenues, and other commercial activities aimed at supporters.

 

Risks related to the sponsorship market

 

Periods of economic weakness and uncertainty may adversely affect the sponsorship market and advertising activities in general, with potential negative impacts on the Company’s economic, financial and equity position.

 

Risks related to financial requirements

 

The Company’s financial position depends on several factors, including both sporting and economic performance as well as general economic conditions in the industry. In line with its risk management policy, the Company maintains a low level of bank credit lines to avoid or mitigate financial stress. At present, however, the Company relies significantly on funding from its majority shareholder, although in the medium term it aims to reduce such dependence.

 

Risks related to the ability to attract and retain human capital

 

The achievement of sporting and financial results also depends on the Company’s ability to attract and/or retain high-quality managers, players, and technical staff, which requires salaries in line with the main competitors in the sector. The inability to retain key professionals could negatively impact the Company’s growth prospects.

 

3.1 Process Risks

 

Risks related to participation in sporting competitions

 

Economic revenues are significantly affected by the level of competition in which the Company participates; promotion to a higher division or relegation to a lower one has materially positive or negative consequences on the Company’s economic and financial performance.

 

Risks related to the transfer market

 

The Company’s economic and financial results are also influenced by transactions carried out during the transfer market period. Any difficulties in executing transactions in line with the sporting strategy may negatively affect the Company’s financial position. Like other football clubs, failure to optimize the roster—including the presence of players unwilling to transfer despite not fitting into the technical or strategic plans—can lead to unexpected or excessive costs, amortization, and salaries.

 

Risks related to sporting activity

 

The Company’s main productive factor is represented by the players’ performances. As such, sporting activity is subject to risks related to players’ physical condition; injuries or accidents may significantly impact the Company’s economic and financial performance at any stage of the season.

 

Risks related to digital media

 

Despite careful management of relations with the media, the uncontrolled spread of information via digital platforms may adversely affect the image of the Company, its directors, managers, and registered members, with possible negative consequences on its economic and financial situation.

3. Risks Related to Our Business (continued)

 

3.1 Process Risks (continued)

 

Risks related to stadium management

 

The Company plays its home matches in a stadium owned by the Municipal Administration, under an operational agreement for the 2024/2025 sports season. The Company is exposed to risks linked to the stadium structure and surrounding public areas (including parking areas), which may result in unforeseen costs in case of damage or vandalism beyond the Company’s control.

 

Risks related to public behavior and strict liability

 

Under the principle of “objective liability” in sports regulations, the Company may incur sanctions (sporting and/or financial) for actions committed by its members or supporters. While appropriate procedures have been implemented, external factors may still lead to sanctions (e.g., stadium bans, sector closures) resulting in reduced revenues and extraordinary costs.

 

Risks related to unlawful conduct by members

 

In line with the principle of objective liability, the Company cannot exclude future sanctions from sports authorities for unlawful conduct by its members beyond the Company’s control, despite measures already implemented to prevent such events.

 

3.2 Compliance Risks

 

Risks related to Financial Fair Play and regulatory requirements

 

Football clubs are required to meet economic, financial, and equity parameters to access and remain in national competitions. In Italy, these are governed by the Licenze Nazionali system and, since the 2015/2016 season, by the Financial Fair Play regulations. Compliance with these parameters is necessary to participate in professional championships. Although the Company obtained the Licenza Nazionale for the 2023/2024 season, it cannot be excluded that new or additional requirements may arise in the future, which could require further shareholder support to maintain compliance.

 

Risks related to pending disputes

 

The Company, with the assistance of its legal advisors, constantly manages and monitors all ongoing disputes, and based on the expected outcome recognizes provisions for risks where necessary.

 

Risks related to potential tax litigation

 

Given the specific nature of the sector, differing interpretations of certain transactions (including those related to the transfer market) could give rise to future challenges by the Tax Authorities, with potential negative effects on the Company’s economic and financial position.

The main financial risks associated with the ordinary course of Juve Stabia’s operating activities can be summarized as follows:

 

Credit risk

 

The company has appropriate procedures to minimize this risk exposure. Specifically, money owed by Italian football clubs is guaranteed via the Serie B clearing house mechanism; money owed by foreign football clubs is, in some cases, secured by bank guarantees or other assurances from the counterparty; and money from audiovisual rights contracts is indirectly supported by guarantees given to the Serie B League by the rights’ winners. Unsecured trade receivables are monitored constantly, and the Company manages and assesses collection risks, partly by booking an adequate bad debt provision.

 

Risks related to interests on short term borrowing and debt

 

The components of financial debt that contribute to determining the financial position as of each fiscal period presented, stem from the balances of short-term borrowing, tax and social contributions long term payback plans (“rateizzi”), medium-term loan subscribed with certain banking institutions. Although all terms (including interest rates) are set forth in the contracts or in the regulation (with regards to the (“rateizzi”), Management constantly monitors the effects that an unexpected and unfavorable change in interest rates could generate on the income statement and on equity.

 

Liquidity risk

 

Represents the risk that available financial resources may be insufficient to cover maturing obligations. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining the overall amount of credit facilities granted by primary banking institutions at a level considered suitable to avoid situations of financial strain and sufficient to meet the needs of operating and investing activities. For further information on credit facilities, please refer to Note 4.5.

As of reporting date, management has assessed the recoverability of trade receivables in accordance with IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.

Other receivables, though not settled as of the reporting date, are still considered collectible, and thus no additional impairment adjustment has been made. During the six months ended 31 December 2024, the Company recorded an additional allowance for expected credit losses amounting to €12.201 and is recognized in profit and loss. Furthermore, the Company written off allowance for credit losses amounting to €102.473 during the six months ended 31 December 2024. No receivables have been pledged as security for liabilities.

Following the 2023/2024 season, the football team was promoted to Serie BKT, where the Club competed professionally in the 2024/2025 season.

 

Lega B revenues are set to increase by approximately 20% due to the application of the Serie B Self-Regulation Code, which grants a higher disbursement of funds to clubs in their second season of the Serie B championship.

 

Furthermore, as of July 2025, the Company recorded a €2.5 million gain from the permanent transfer of a player (Andrea Adorante).

In terms of ownership, BRERA HOLDINGS PLC, an Irish company listed on the American NASDAQ, joined the shareholder structure. This began with a minority share acquisition in December 2024, culminating in a 52% majority stake in the common capital as of 20 June 2025. This entry strengthened the Company’s assets through capital increases, share premium, and the contribution of NASDAQ-listed securities, ensuring an adequate inflow of fresh capital to cover current needs and progressively reduce debt.

 

The shareholders are also committed to providing further capital contributions, if necessary, to support the timely payment of multi-year installment plans related to prior years’ tax and social security contributions, which constitute the Company’s essential total liabilities.

Other income amounted to €830.912 and €230.933 for the six months ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, respectively. This caption includes miscellaneous operating income that does not derive from the Company’s primary revenue-generating activities, such as recoveries, reimbursements, waivers of emoluments, miscellaneous operating income, and minor non-recurring income items recognized during the year.

 

11. Provision for Income Taxes

 

For the six months ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a provision for income taxes amounting to nil and €13.355, respectively.

 

This balance represents the estimated current income tax liability for the fiscal year, calculated on the basis of taxable income in accordance with prevailing tax regulations. The provision reflects management’s best estimate of the tax obligation as of the reporting date and will be settled in the following financial year.

 

Under Italian GAAP (OIC), the Company recognized income taxes in accordance with the domestic tax legislation, including IRES (Imposta sul Reddito delle Società) at 24% and IRAP (Imposta Regionale sulle Attività Produttive) at 4.97%.

 

For the six months ended 31 December 2024, the Company reported a fiscal loss, and consequently, no current IRES or IRAP charge was recognized in the OIC financial statements. Accordingly, no tax provision was required under IFRS for the same period.

 

In accordance with IAS 12 – Income Taxes, the Company reviewed the tax treatment upon transition to IFRS.

 

The income tax provision of €13.355 recognized during the six months ended December 31, 2023 represents a current income tax payable and has therefore been reclassified under “Provision for Income Taxes” in the IFRS financial statements.

 

Furthermore, no deferred tax assets or liabilities have been recognized as of 31 December 2024, as there are no temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the IFRS financial statements and their corresponding tax bases.

 

No uncertain tax positions were identified in accordance with IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments.

 

Accordingly, the adjustment under IFRS consists solely in the reclassification of the 2023 income tax provision (€13.355) from OIC income taxes to “Provision for Income Taxes” under IFRS presentation, with no impact on equity or profit (loss) for the year.
