STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Introduction
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023. Section 172 (1) Statement The information provided below is intended to explain how the directors considered the interests of the Company’s key stakeholders and the broader matters set out in section 172 (1) (a) to (f) of the Companies Act 2006 when performing their duty to promote the success of the Company under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006. Business review The results for the year and the financial position of the Company are shown in the financial statements on pages 10 to 34. Following a strategic review of the business the board agreed to sell the corporate travel management division and focus on growth in tailor-made holidays. On 1st September 2023 the corporate travel management division was sold to the John Good Group. Holiday departures were strong during the year, with a resurgence of demand for long haul destinations. During 2023 the Company continued to reduce its long-term overhead commitments by moving to a serviced office space on a short-term agreement. Cost was incurred during the year in exiting the leased office, but such actions continue to reinforce the opinion that that the Company’s hybrid working cost structure is low and scalable for both downside and upside. The directors consider the result to be satisfactory given the uncertainty caused by the economic climate in the UK, global energy prices, volcano eruption in Iceland and wars in Ukraine and the Middle East. Key performance indicators The Company continues monitoring KPIs in respect of sales, gross profit and EBITDA. Travel regulatory bodies The Company holds an ATOL granted by the CAA which falls due for renewal in September 2024. Principal risks and uncertainties The risk factors described below are those which the directors believe are potentially significant but should not be regarded as a complete and comprehensive statement of all potential risks and uncertainties facing the Company. Regulatory risk: The Company is exposed to various regulators, including the Civil Aviation Authority ("CAA"), which issues an Air Travel Organisers Licence ("ATOL"), which is required in order for the Company to operate. This licence is renewed in September each year and is subject to assessments of fitness and financial criteria, the framework of which is available on the CAA website (www.caa.co.uk). Geo-political events and natural disasters: The nature of the business operation exposes the Company to a wide range of geo-political and natural disasters. To counter this the Company operates a flexible business model with the ability to shift holiday bookings amongst a variety of destinations, where necessary.

Commercial relationships:
The Company has well established and close relationships with customers and suppliers and the risk is spread by not placing over-reliance on any one supplier in any particular area. However, if a relationship were lost or damaged with a major supplier this could have a detrimental effect on the business. The management team meets regularly with suppliers to maintain good working relationships and to understand the suppliers’ financial position. Information technology: The Company is heavily reliant upon information technology. Investment has been made to ensure the Company has advanced and efficient systems in place, but there is a risk if there were a major failure - particularly if it were to affect reservations systems. During 2023 the Company moved its reservations system and phone system to separately hosted solutions with the systems suppliers to minimise this risk. Procedures are in place to further minimise the time a selling system is unavailable in the event of such failure. Commercial risks: The Company's trading performance can be affected by environmental factors, which include · acts of terrorism, particularly in key tourist destinations: · natural disasters in key tourist destinations: · weather conditions, both in the UK and in key tourist destinations: · health epidemics in key tourist destinations and the UK: · increases in government taxes in both UK and overseas: · wars or other international incidents which affect air or sea travel:

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business.
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information on the Company's website.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £1,361,934 (2022 - £593,994).

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Following the Covid-19 pandemic the Company is taking steps to ensure continued future profits and resilience to unforeseen adverse events. The Company is continuing to embrace flexible hybrid working which is assisting with the retention and recruitment of employees. The head office lease ended on 1st March 2023 and the Company moved to a smaller serviced office space in line with a leaner, hybrid structure. This enables the Company to reduce overheads and provides flexibility in increasing or reducing space, as required.
Under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006, White Hart Associates (London) Limited will be deemed to have been reappointed as auditors 28 days after these financial statements were sent to members or 28 days after the latest date prescribed for filing the accounts with the registrar, whichever is earlier.
This report was approved by the board on 22 May 2024 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WEXAS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Wexas Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2023, which comprise the Income Statement, the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WEXAS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF WEXAS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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:
-
We exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit; - We 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 deliberate override of internal control; - We 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 on the effectiveness of internal control; - We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made; - We assess the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business; - We review the scope of the Company's compliance with its regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority ("CAA"), its membership of The Association of British Travel Agents ("ABTA") and its accreditation with the International Air Transport Association ("IATA") and sample test relevant documentation to assess this and the effectiveness of its control environment; - We review the Company's relationships with related parties and other group companies, identifying and disclosing transactions during the year and balances at year-end with such parties; - We conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the entity'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 entity to cease to continue as a going concern.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditors' Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Wexas Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in England. Its registered office is Runway East Borough Market, 20 St. Thomas Street, London SE1 9RS.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
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:
The travel industry experienced the benefit of a post-Covid-19 bounce back in travel; however, with consumer unease in relation to the current economic environment, increasing energy costs, and the impact of inflation, Company management and the directors have continued to review the Company’s financial position. This is to ensure a swift response to any changes in planned trading performance.
The directors have prepared budgets and cashflow forecasts to December 2025 which reflect good operational liquidity and profitability throughout. Additionally, they have also performed a sensitivity analysis on the Company's budgets and forecasts to assess the financial impact of any potential further slowdown in trading from the reforecast and its impact on the liquidity of the business. The sensitivity analysis shows that the Company has enough liquidity and cash to trade through a further slowdown. Company management and the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least the following 12 months from the signing of these financial statements. As a result, the directors believe that it is appropriate to apply the going concern basis for the foreseeable future.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Turnover for corporate clients represents the commission/margin earned on all overseas accommodation and travel arrangements sold (this part of the business was discontinued on 1 September 2023) , recognised on the date of booking basis where the Company is a travel agent plus the gross sales value where the Company acts as a tour operator. Turnover is attributable to one continuing activity. Gross retail turnover (GRT) - GRT which is stated net of value added tax, does not represent the company's statutory turnover. GRT represents the total gross sales amounts receivable in respect of accommodation and travel sales for the year. Section 23 of FRS102 requires the statutory turnover to be the net commission/margin earned. Trade debtors still represent gross amounts receivable in respect of overseas accommodation and travel sales and trade creditors still represent gross amounts payable in respect of overseas accommodation and travel purchases. If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.
