DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
- 1 -
The Directors present their Directors' report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Capita Dubai Limited ('the Company') is a wholly owned subsidiary (indirectly held) of Capita plc. Capita plc, along with all its subsidiaries' is hereafter referred to as 'the Group'. The Company operates within the Experience division of the Group.
Principal activities
The principal activity of the Company is to provide life and pension administrative services. However, this principal activity ceased in April 2023 when the Company's client contract was terminated. The Directors have therefore prepared the financial statements on the basis that the Company is no longer a going concern. The financial statements have been prepared on a breakup basis as at 31 December 2023. As a consequence, the current assets have been measured and presented at their expected realisable values. The current liabilities are measured and presented at their expected settlement values.
As shown in Company's income statement on page 3, revenue has decreased from £4,346,916 in 2022 to £1,297,630 in 2023 mainly on account of termination of contract in April 2023.
The Company's Operating profit has decreased from £920,223 in 2022 to £159,845 in 2023 due to the contract termination in 2023 and a one off activity that drove higher revenue in 2022.
The balance sheet on page 5 of the financial statements shows the financial position at the year end. Net assets have decreased from £2,676,434 in 2022 to £2,671,831 in 2023 primarily on account of lower profits earned during the year.
Details of the amounts owed by/to its parent company and fellow subsidiary companies are shown in notes 6 and 8 to the financial statements.
The key financial performance indicators used by the Group, on a consolidated basis, are adjusted revenue, adjusted profit before tax, adjusted basic/diluted earnings per share, free cash flow excluding business exits, and gearing ratios. The Group manages its operations on a divisional basis and consequently, some of these indicators are monitored at a divisional level. The performance of the Experience division of the Group is discussed in the Group’s annual report which does not form part of this report.
Results and dividends
The results for the year are set out on page 3.
No interim or final dividend was paid or proposed during the year (2022: £ Nil).
Directors
The Directors, who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

This qualifying third party indemnity provision remains in force as at the date of approving the directors' report.

The Company made no political donations and incurred no political expenditure during the year (2022: £nil).

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023

Environment
The Company recognises the importance of its environmental responsibilities, monitors its impact on the environment, and designs and implements policies to reduce any damage that might be caused by the it’s activities. The Company operates in accordance with Group policies, which are described in the Group’s 2023 annual report that does not form part of this report. Initiatives designed to minimise the Company’s impact on the environment include safe disposal of waste, recycling and reducing energy consumption.
Statement of Directors' responsibilities
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Directors’ report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom ('UK') accounting standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 101 Reduced Disclosure Framework.
Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of its profit or loss for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
state whether applicable UK accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and use the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so; and
as explained in the note 1.1 of the financial statements, the Directors do not believe the going concern basis to be appropriate and these financial statements are not prepared on that basis.
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 enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are responsible for such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the assets of the Company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
Small companies exemption
This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

Accounting policies
1.1
Basis of preparation
Capita Dubai Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 65 Gresham Street, London, England, EC2V 7NQ. The company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the Directors' report.
In determining the appropriate basis of preparation for the annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, the Company’s Directors (“the Directors”) are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months following the approval of these accounts.
The principal activity of the Company is to provide life and pension administrative services. However, this principal activity ceased in April 2023 when the Company's client contract was terminated. The Directors have therefore prepared the financial statements on the basis that the Company is no longer a going concern.
The financial statements have been prepared on a breakup basis as at 31 December 2023. As a consequence, the Directors have considered the adjustments required to prepare the financial statement on a breakup basis. The expected realisable and settlement values for current assets and liabilities are not considered to be materially different from their carrying value at the balance sheet date. Therefore, the Directors have considered that no further adjustments are required as a result of preparing the financial statements on a breakup basis.
1.2
Compliance with accounting standards
The Company has applied FRS101 – Reduced Disclosure Framework in the preparation of its financial statements.
The Company has prepared and presented these financial statements by applying the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 .
The Company's ultimate parent company, Capita plc, includes the Company in its consolidated statements. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRSs') and the Disclosure and the Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. They are available to the public and may be obtained from Capita plc’s website on https://www.capita.com/investors .
In these financial statements, the Company has applied the disclosure exemptions available under FRS 101 in respect of the following disclosures:
A cash flow statement and related notes;
Comparative period reconciliations for share capital;
Disclosures in respect of capital management;
The effects of new but not yet effective IFRSs;
Certain disclosures as required by IFRS 15 ; and
Disclosures in respect of the compensation of key management personnel.
Since the consolidated financial statements of Capita plc include equivalent disclosures, the Company has also taken the disclosure exemptions under FRS 101 available in respect of certain disclosures required by IFRS 7 Financial Instrument Disclosures and certain disclosure exemptions as permitted by IFRS 13 Fair value measurement.

Revenue
Revenue is earned within United Arab Emirates. The Company applies a variety of methods for revenue recognition, based on the principles set out in IFRS 15.
The revenue and profits recognised in any period are based on the delivery of performance obligations and an assessment of when control is transferred to the customer.
Revenue is recognised either when the performance obligation in the contract has been performed (so ‘point-in-time’ recognition) or ‘over-time’ when control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.
The Company enters into contracts which contain extension periods, where either the customer or both parties can choose to extend the contract or there is an automatic annual renewal, and/or termination clauses that could impact the actual duration of the contract. Judgement is applied to assess the impact that these clauses have when determining the appropriate contract term. The term of the contract impacts both the period over which revenue from performance obligations may be recognised and the period over which contract fulfilment assets and capitalised costs to obtain a contract are expensed.
For contracts with multiple components to be delivered, for example transformation; transitions and the delivery of outsourced services; management applies judgement to consider whether those promised goods and services are:
distinct – to be accounted for as separate performance obligations;
not distinct – to be combined with other promised goods or services until a bundle is identified that is distinct; or
part of a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer to the customer.
At a contract's inception the total transaction price is estimated, being the amount to which the Company expects to be entitled and has rights to under the contract. This includes an assessment of any variable consideration where the Company’s performance may result in additional revenues based on the achievement of agreed Key Performance Indicators ('KPIs'). Such amounts are only included based on the expected value or the most likely outcome, and only to the extent that it is highly probable that no revenue reversal will occur.
The transaction price does not include estimates of consideration resulting from change orders for additional goods and services unless these are already agreed.
Once the total transaction price is determined, the Company allocates this to the identified performance obligations in proportion to their relative standalone selling prices and recognises revenue when (or while) those performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company infrequently sells standard products with observable standalone prices due to the specialised services required by customers, consequently the Company applies judgement to determine an appropriate standalone selling price. More frequently, the Company sells customers bespoke solutions, and in these cases the Company typically uses the expected cost-plus margin or a contractually stated price approach to estimate the standalone selling price of each performance obligation.
The Company may offer price step downs during the life of a contract, but with no change to the underlying scope of services to be delivered. In general, any such variable consideration, price step down or discount is included in the total transaction price to be allocated across all performance obligations unless it relates to only one performance obligation in the contract.

Accounting policies

Revenue (continued)
For each performance obligation to be recognised over-time, the Company applies a revenue recognition method that faithfully depicts the Company’s performance in transferring control of the goods or services to the customer. This decision requires assessment of the real nature of the goods or services that the Company has promised to transfer to the customer. The Company applies the relevant output or input method consistently to similar performance obligations in other contracts.
When using the output method, the Company recognises revenue on the basis of direct measurements of the value to the customer of the goods and services transferred to date relative to the remaining goods and services under the contract. Where the output method is used, in particular for long-term service contracts where the series guidance is applied, the Company often uses a method of time elapsed which requires minimal estimation. Certain long-term contracts use output methods based upon estimations of: user numbers; service activity levels; or fees collected.
When transfer of control is most closely aligned to the Company's efforts in delivering the service, the input method is used to measure progress, and revenue is recognised in direct proportion to costs incurred. This is a faithful depiction of the transfer of services because costs (or other inputs) most accurately reflect the incremental benefits received by the customer from efforts to date.
If performance obligations in a contract do not meet the over-time criteria, the Company recognises revenue at a point-in-time when the service or good is delivered.
Contract modifications
The Company’s contracts are often amended for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications exist when the amendment either creates new or changes existing, enforceable rights and obligations.
The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price and the Company’s measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognised as an adjustment to revenue in one of the following ways:
a) prospectively as an additional separate contract;
b) prospectively as a termination of the existing contract and creation of a new contract;
c) as part of the original contract using a cumulative catch up; or
d) as a combination of (b) and (c).
In respect of contracts for which the Company has decided there is a series of distinct goods and services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer where revenue is recognised over-time, the modification will always be treated under either (a) or (b); (d) may arise when a contract has a part-termination and a modification of the remaining performance obligations.
The facts and circumstances of any contract modification are considered individually because the types of modifications will vary contract by contract and may result in different accounting outcomes. Judgement is applied in relation to the accounting for such modifications where the final terms or legal contracts have not been agreed prior to the period end. In these cases management need to determine if a modification has been approved and if it either creates new or changes existing, enforceable rights and obligations of the parties. Depending upon the outcome of such negotiations, the timing and amount of revenue recognised may be different in the relevant accounting periods. Modification and amendments to contracts are undertaken through an agreed formal process. For example, if a change in scope has been approved but the corresponding change in price is still being negotiated, management uses its judgement to estimate the change to the total transaction price. Importantly, any variable consideration is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that no revenue reversal will occur. For example, if pricing is subject to indexation based on an external metric (such as the Consumer Price Index ('CPI') or such as the Retail Price Index ('RPI')) then revenue related to the indexation will only be recognised after the relevant indexation is confirmed. Future indexation will not be recognised because it is not highly probable that a significant reversal of an indexation adjustment will not occur.

Revenue (continued)
Transactional (point-in-time) contracts
The Company delivers a range of goods or services that are transactional services for which revenue is recognised at the point-in-time when control of the goods or services has transferred to the customer. This may be at the point of physical delivery of goods or services and acceptance by the customer or when the customer obtains control of an asset or service in a contract with customer-specified acceptance criteria.
The nature of contracts or performance obligations within this revenue type includes:
(i) provision of computing hardware goods;
(ii) passive software license agreements;
(iii) commission received as agent from the sale of third-party software; and
(iv) fees received in relation to delivery of professional services.
1.5
Financial instruments
Trade and other receivables
The trade and other receivables have been measured and presented at their expected realisable values.
Trade and other payables
The trade and other payables have been measured and presented at their expected settlement values.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and short-term deposits in the balance sheet comprise cash at bank and in hand and short-term deposits with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible in to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Bank overdrafts are shown within current financial liabilities.
1.6
Taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the income statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and the carry-forward of unused tax assets and unused tax losses can be utilised, except where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

1.7
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation arising from past events, it is probable that cash will be paid to settle it, and the amount can be estimated reliably.
If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using the yield on government bonds which have a similar timing and currency of cash flows to the provision being discounted. Where required adjustments are made to the yields to reflect the risks specific to the cash flows being discounted. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a financing cost in the income statement.
The value of the provision is determined based on assumptions and estimates in relation to the amount, timing and likelihood of actual cash flows, which are dependent on future events. Where no reliable basis of estimation can be made, no provision is recorded. However, contingent liabilities disclosures are given when there is a greater than remote probability of outflow of economic benefits.
On an ongoing basis, management monitor provisions and their accurate estimation when compared to final outcomes.
1.8
Functional currency
The financial statements are prepared in British pounds sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Functional currency is the currency of the primary environment in which the entity operates. The Directors of the Company believe British pounds sterling most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions, events and conditions.
1.9
Foreign exchange
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into British pounds sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. All foreign exchanges gains/losses are recognised in the income statement.
Where the functional currency of branches differs from the presentational currency of the Company, the branch's results and financial position are translated by converting the assets and liabilities at the closing rate at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses recognised in the period are translated at the average rates of exchange with all resulting differences being recognised through the foreign currency translation reserve.
2
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting policies requires the Directors to make judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expense during the reported periods. Although these judgements and assumptions are based on the Directors' best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ from these estimates.
