Caseware UK (AP4) 2024.0.164 2024.0.164 We were engaged to audit the financial statements of Ironman Ltd. (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A. We do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the Company. We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in relation to the matter detailed within the basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements. The Directors have prepared the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 on a going concern basis in accordance with the assumptions disclosed in note 2.2. These financial statements show that, as at 31 December 2024 and for the year ended on that date, the Company generated a profit before tax of £240,838, and the Company had cash balances totalling £1,108,324. At the balance sheet date, the Company had net liabilities of £12,316,999. The Company’s ability to continue as a Going Concern relies upon the financial support from the wider group. We have been unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence in respect of this financial support to provide an audit opinion. Given the lack of sufficient audit evidence in respect of financial support from the wider group, we have also been unable to form an audit opinion on the recoverability of group debtors. In the prior year we were also unable to observe the counting of physical inventories held by the company as at 31 December 2023. We were also unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held by the company at 31 December 2023, which are included in the balance sheet at a value of £223,156. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary in the prior year.false false Provision of race events 37 false 2024-01-01 31 false 06947476 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 2023-01-01 2023-12-31 06947476 2024-12-31 06947476 2023-12-31 06947476 2023-01-01 06947476 2 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:CompanySecretary1 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director2 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director2 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director10 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director11 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director12 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director12 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director13 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director13 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director14 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Director14 2024-12-31 06947476 d:RegisteredOffice 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Buildings e:LongLeaseholdAssets 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Buildings e:LongLeaseholdAssets 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Buildings e:LongLeaseholdAssets 2023-12-31 06947476 e:PlantMachinery 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:PlantMachinery 2024-12-31 06947476 e:PlantMachinery 2023-12-31 06947476 e:PlantMachinery e:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:MotorVehicles 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:MotorVehicles 2024-12-31 06947476 e:MotorVehicles 2023-12-31 06947476 e:MotorVehicles e:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:OwnedOrFreeholdAssets 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Goodwill 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Goodwill 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Goodwill 2023-12-31 06947476 e:CopyrightsPatentsTrademarksServiceOperatingRights 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:CopyrightsPatentsTrademarksServiceOperatingRights 2024-12-31 06947476 e:CopyrightsPatentsTrademarksServiceOperatingRights 2023-12-31 06947476 e:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2024-12-31 06947476 e:CurrentFinancialInstruments 2023-12-31 06947476 e:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Non-currentFinancialInstruments 2023-12-31 06947476 e:CurrentFinancialInstruments e:WithinOneYear 2024-12-31 06947476 e:CurrentFinancialInstruments e:WithinOneYear 2023-12-31 06947476 e:Non-currentFinancialInstruments e:AfterOneYear 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Non-currentFinancialInstruments e:AfterOneYear 2023-12-31 06947476 e:ShareCapital 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:ShareCapital 2024-12-31 06947476 e:ShareCapital 2023-01-01 2023-12-31 06947476 e:ShareCapital 2023-12-31 06947476 e:ShareCapital 2023-01-01 06947476 e:ForeignCurrencyTranslationReserve 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:ForeignCurrencyTranslationReserve 2024-12-31 06947476 e:ForeignCurrencyTranslationReserve 2 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:ForeignCurrencyTranslationReserve 2023-01-01 2023-12-31 06947476 e:ForeignCurrencyTranslationReserve 2023-12-31 06947476 e:ForeignCurrencyTranslationReserve 2023-01-01 06947476 e:OtherMiscellaneousReserve 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:OtherMiscellaneousReserve 2024-12-31 06947476 e:OtherMiscellaneousReserve 2 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:OtherMiscellaneousReserve 2023-01-01 2023-12-31 06947476 e:OtherMiscellaneousReserve 2023-12-31 06947476 e:OtherMiscellaneousReserve 2023-01-01 06947476 e:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2024-12-31 06947476 e:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2023-01-01 2023-12-31 06947476 e:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2023-12-31 06947476 e:RetainedEarningsAccumulatedLosses 2023-01-01 06947476 d:FRS102 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:Audited 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:FullAccounts 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 d:PrivateLimitedCompanyLtd 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:WithinOneYear 2024-12-31 06947476 e:WithinOneYear 2023-12-31 06947476 e:BetweenOneFiveYears 2024-12-31 06947476 e:BetweenOneFiveYears 2023-12-31 06947476 e:MoreThanFiveYears 2024-12-31 06947476 e:MoreThanFiveYears 2023-12-31 06947476 6 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:ShareCapital 2 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:Goodwill e:OwnedIntangibleAssets 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 e:CopyrightsPatentsTrademarksServiceOperatingRights e:OwnedIntangibleAssets 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 06947476 f:PoundSterling 2024-01-01 2024-12-31 iso4217:GBP xbrli:pure

IRONMAN LTD. Independent auditor's report to the members of IRONMAN LTD.
Disclaimer of opinion
We were engaged to audit the financial statements of Ironman Ltd. (the ‘Company’) for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A. We do not express an opinion on the accompanying financial statements of the Company. We have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence in relation to the matter detailed within the basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements.
Basis for disclaimer of opinion
The Directors have prepared the Company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 on a going concern basis in accordance with the assumptions disclosed in note 2.2. These financial statements show that, as at 31 December 2024 and for the year ended on that date, the Company generated a profit before tax of £240,838, and the Company had cash balances totalling £1,108,324. At the balance sheet date, the Company had net liabilities of £12,316,999. The Company’s ability to continue as a Going Concern relies upon the financial support from the wider group. We have been unable to obtain sufficient audit evidence in respect of this financial support to provide an audit opinion. Given the lack of sufficient audit evidence in respect of financial support from the wider group, we have also been unable to form an audit opinion on the recoverability of group debtors. In the prior year we were also unable to observe the counting of physical inventories held by the company as at 31 December 2023. We were also unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held by the company at 31 December 2023, which are included in the balance sheet at a value of £223,156. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary in the prior year.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
Because of the significant of the matters described in the basis for disclaimer of opinion section of our report, we have been unable to form an opinion, whether based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: ∙the information given in the Directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and ∙the Directors' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. Page 3
IRONMAN LTD. Independent auditor's report to the members of IRONMAN LTD. (continued)
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Notwithstanding our disclaimer of an opinion on the financial statements, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Directors' report. Arising from the limitation of our work referred to above: ∙we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit in respect of evidence of the company's ability to continue as a going concern and the group's resources to support the entity should it be required. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: ∙adequate accounting records have not been kept, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or ∙the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or ∙certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or ∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or ∙the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemptions in preparing the Directors' report and from the requirement to prepare a Strategic report.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 1, the directors responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 4
IRONMAN LTD. Independent auditor's report to the members of IRONMAN LTD. (continued)
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Capability of the audit in detecting irregularities, including fraud Based on our understanding of the company and industry, and through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to health and safety, and employment law. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006, taxation and pension legislation. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to increase revenue or reduce expenditure, management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: • Discussions with management and assessment of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud; and • Assessment of identified fraud risk factors; and • Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in its significant accounting estimates; and • Checking and reperforming the reconciliation of key control accounts; and • Performing analytical procedures with automated data analytics tools to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships, including related party transactions, that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; and • Confirmation of related parties with management, and review of transactions throughout the period to identify any previously undisclosed transactions with related parties outside the normal course of business; and • Review of significant and unusual transactions and evaluation of the underlying financial rationale supporting the transactions; and • Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any manual entries made at the year- end for financial statement preparation. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: ∙Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Page 5
IRONMAN LTD. Independent auditor's report to the members of IRONMAN LTD. (continued) ∙Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. ∙Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. ∙Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. ∙Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

IRONMAN LTD. Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
1. | General information
IRONMAN LTD. is a limited company incorporated in England, company number 06947476. The address of the registered office is 18d(ii) Croft Drive, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, OX14 4RP. 2.Accounting policies
| 2.1 | Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3). The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
| 2.2 | Going concern
Not withstanding that the Company has net liabilities of £12,316,999 as at 31 December 2024, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors believe that adequate funding and investment, to ensure that the Company can meet its financial obligations as they fall due, will be available to the Company for the foreseeable future from the continued support of World Triathlon Corporation the group parent Company. The directors, having assessed the responses from the directors' of World Triathlon Corporation, believe they have no reason to believe that funding will not be made available to enable the company to pay its debts as they fall due.

| 2.3 | Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Sale of goods Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied: ∙the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer; ∙the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; ∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; ∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and ∙the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. Rendering of services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied: ∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; ∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract; ∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and ∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
| 2.4 | Intangible assets
Goodwill Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Statement of income and retained earnings over its useful economic life. Other intangible assets Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years. Page 11
IRONMAN LTD. Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.5 | Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|  |  |  | Leasehold property improvements | - | 13 years
|  |  |  | Plant & machinery | - | 3 to 7 years
|  |  |  | Motor vehicles | - | 5 years
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
| 2.6 | Valuation of investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
| 2.7 | Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
| 2.8 | Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
| 2.9 | Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
| 2.10 | Operating leases: the Company as lessee
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Page 12
IRONMAN LTD. Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.11 | Current and deferred taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income. Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that: ∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and ∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
| 2.12 | Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency The Company's functional currency is pound Sterling in the UK and Euro for the Irish branch. This differs from the presentational currency which is pound Sterling. The reason for the difference is that the Irish branch is not separate from the Company, but all transactions are carried out in local currency. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of income and retained earnings within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'. Page 13
IRONMAN LTD. Notes to the financial statements For the Year Ended 31 December 2024 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.13 | Provisions for liabilities
Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made. Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties. Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.
3. | Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Goodwill The company has recognised Goodwill with a carrying value of £211,741 at the reporting date (see note 5). Goodwill is stated at cost less provision for amortisation and impairment. On acquisition the company determines a useful economic life for each component of Goodwill. At each subsequent reporting date the directors consider whether there are any factors or changes in market conditions that indicate a need to reconsider the estimates used. Deferred Income Included within the Accruals & Deferred Income balance is £3,495,000 in relation to Deferred Entry fees. The company has calculated this balance based on the number of entrants expected to race and the average selling price. Deferred taxation Included within note 7 is a deferred tax asset totaling £1,600,460 which relates to the potential benefit of losses to be utilised by the company. The company has recognised this asset following the introduction of a formal transfer pricing policy with its fellow group entities meaning that management estimate that all losses will be used within a 4 to 5 year period.
