Financial Projections
— One-Year Trial

“Trial” here means a 12-month commercial pilot charging the £4.50 coordination fee, rather than free access for a year.

This report treats its figures as illustrative planning assumptions. The principal planning points for the one-year trial are:

• Acquire the registered audience throughout the year.
• Separate annual operating results from the cash needed before break-even.
• Treat the 30 venues per area (60 overall) as a target, with onboarding and capacity checked during the trial.
• Replace the label “Average” with “Central assumption”; there is no evidence that this represents an industry average.
• Resolve the treatment of VAT and validate the operating budget before relying on the projected surplus.

• Both areas start together, and each month uses the audience midpoint between opening and closing registration balances.
• No subscriptions, sponsorship, equipment sales or other income are assumed.
• Paying share means the share paying in a given month, not everyone who has ever paid.
• Retention and reactivation are implicit in this assumption; they are not yet supported by customer cohort data.
• All operating results are before tax. No tax rate is asserted.
• The £4.50 average is treated as recognised revenue. If applicable tax is included in the customer price, recognised revenue would be lower.
• No financing, depreciation or capital expenditure schedule is modelled.
• The trial model separates annual operating result from the cash needed before break-even.
• Both areas start together. Their registered audiences are acquired evenly through the year, and each month uses the audience midpoint between opening and closing balances.
• The 30-venue target in each area (60 overall) is an end-of-trial planning target; not all venues are assumed active immediately.
• The £34,359 monthly cost is an all-in operating assumption with no validated breakdown.
• Actual traction has not been supplied or verified for this projection. The model assumes 2 planned London locations, each treated as a neighbourhood operating catchment rather than an individual venue, with 10,000 registrations and 30 target venues per area (20,000 registrations and 60 target venues overall).
• The operating cost base and equipment prices use euro-denominated planning inputs converted once at the European Central Bank euro reference rate of 9 September 2026, EUR 1 = GBP 0.85898. The average coordination fee of £4.50 per player per game is a separate, direct sterling assumption for the London launch — not a conversion.

• The £50,000 setup allowance and 15% contingency are illustrative allowances, not supplier estimates.
• Setup spending must cover only items outside the monthly operating budget to avoid double counting.
• These figures assume customer receipts and operating payments occur in the same month. They exclude settlement delays, payment reserves and separately scheduled tax payments.
• £230,000 supports the central assumptions; it does not secure a full year under weak demand.
• Approximately £425,000 supports the modelled underperforming case with the stated allowances. At zero revenue, the exact equivalent requirement is £524,156.96, or approximately £525,000 as a prudent envelope.
• If setup costs are fully expensed during the trial, the central £85,502 operating surplus reduces to approximately £35,502 before tax, before any contingency is spent.

• Each sensitivity is applied separately.
• Additional per-appearance costs should be included only if they are absent from the existing all-in budget.
• The VAT illustration assumes £3.75 recognised revenue from a £4.50 customer payment, unchanged costs and no input VAT recovery. It is a full-year stress test, not a prediction of MYM’s actual tax position.
• The UK standard VAT rate is 20%; registration generally becomes mandatory above £90,000 taxable turnover, with separate rules for businesses based outside the UK. Both central and strong scenarios require explicit VAT planning. Sources: GOV.UK VAT rates and GOV.UK VAT registration.

MeetYourMatch’s one-year two planned London locations trial is potentially viable, but its financial outcome depends on acquiring and retaining a paying audience within a controlled operating budget.

With registrations growing to 20,000 over 12 months, the central model generates approximately £497,813 in revenue and £85,502 in operating surplus before additional setup costs and tax. Monthly operating break-even is reached in Month 7, while the initial operating cash deficit peaks at approximately £113,343.

A provisional funding envelope is £230,000 under the central assumptions, increasing to approximately £425,000 under the modelled underperforming case. These amounts must be refined using actual operating quotes, acquisition results and confirmed VAT treatment.

The trial’s purpose is to establish whether players repeatedly pay for coordination and whether MYM can deliver that service profitably. The projections provide a framework for that test; they do not establish demand.
