DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Qualifying third party indemnity provisions
|
As permitted by the Articles of Association, the directors have the benefit of an indemnity which is a qualifying
third party indemnity provision defined by section 234 of the Companies Act 2006. The indemnity was in force
throughout the last financial year and is currently in force.
Matters covered in the Strategic report
|
A review of the business, principal risks and uncertainties, and financial and non-financial key performance
indicators are included within the strategic report.
Directors' responsibilities statement
|
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic report, 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 the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'). 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 and of the profit or loss of the company 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 accounting 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;
∙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.
Disclosure of information to auditors
|
The directors confirm that:
∙so far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware, and
∙the directors have taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as directors in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information.

SOAR TPI (HOLDINGS) LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SOAR TPI (HOLDINGS) LTD
Qualified opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Soar TPI (Holdings) Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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).
In our opinion, except for the effects of the matter described in the Basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:
∙give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2023 and of its profit for the year then ended;
∙have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for qualified opinion
As explained in note 2.1 to the financial statements, the company has prepared individual accounts in
accordance with section 394 of the Companies Act 2006 but has not consolidated the financial information of its subsidiary undertakings which are listed in note 12 to the financial statements.
The company is required to prepare group accounts in accordance with section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 and to consolidate the financial information of its subsidiary undertakings in accordance with the requirements of FRS 102 section 9 ‘Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements’ and to account for its associate in accordance with FRS 102 section 14 ‘Investments in Associates’. The effect on the financial statements of the failure to consolidate its subsidiary undertakings in accordance with FRS 102 section 9 and to account for its associate in accordance with FRS 102 section 14 has not been determined; as it is considered impractical to do so. In addition, the requirement for the company to prepare group financial statements and to consolidate the financial information of its subsidiary undertakings and to account for its associate is not reflected in the directors’ report or the strategic report. This is also a departure from s386(5) of the Companies Act 2006, denoting that a parent company takes reasonable steps to ensure its undertakings maintain adequate accounting records enabling the Directors to prepare consolidated accounts in compliance with the requirements of the Act.
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 Auditor’s 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 UK, including the FRC’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 qualified opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
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.

SOAR TPI (HOLDINGS) LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SOAR TPI (HOLDINGS) LTD
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's 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.
As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, our audit opinion is qualified for the failure of the company to prepare group financial statements, consolidating the financial information of its subsidiary undertakings and to incorporate the result of its associate. Furthermore, the failure to prepare group financial statements also has significant implications upon the recognition of the size of the Company (and its Group) and the resulting disclosures required under the applicable accounting standards. The Company itself is a small company under United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice and can apply the provisions of FRS 102 section 1A, with the option to exclude certain disclosures within the directors’ report and to remove the strategic report entirely. However, the Group is a large group and, if group financial statements were prepared, various additional disclosures would be required such as the disclosures under the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting regulations. The Company has not fully followed either size requirement entirely in the directors’ report or the strategic report and accordingly we have concluded that the other information is materially misstated for the same reason.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion and other information sections of our report, 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.
Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified section of our report, 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
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.

SOAR TPI (HOLDINGS) LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SOAR TPI (HOLDINGS) LTD
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, the directors are 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 are 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.
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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:
∙Enquiries with management about any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
∙Reviewing how management identify and track compliance with key laws and regulations. Scrutinising legal and professional costs incurred for indications of non-compliance and to identify any evidence of ongoing litigation and therefore consequential financial implications;
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias; and,
∙Reviewing transactions relating to investment income, to ensure revenue is complete in the financial statements and recognised in the correct accounting period.
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.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk /auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
Soar TPI (Holdings) Ltd is a limited company incorporated in England and Wales, its registered office is
Touch Point, Wainwright Road, Worcester, WR4 9FA. The entity is reporting for the year ended 31
December 2023.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
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 Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The Company has prepared individual accounts in accordance with section 394 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not consolidated the financial information of its subsidiary undertakings. The Company is required to prepare group accounts in accordance with section 399 of the Companies Act 2006 and to consolidate the financial information of its subsidiary undertakings in accordance with the requirement of FRS102 section 9 'Consolidated and Separate Financial Statement', but has not done so. As it is the Directors opinion, to consolidate the entire UK Group position, incorporating all worldwide subsidiaries has so far been economically unviable due to the complexity of the group and the lack of historically available information. Active efforts are however being made to rectify this position from the next financial year. As such, the financial statements provide information about the company only and not about its group which is a departure from the required accounting standard.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
In performing their assessment of going concern the Directors have considered the ability of the company to meet its obligations as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. The Directors have a reasonable expectation that Soar TPI (Holdings) Ltd has adequate resources to continue in operational existence over this period. In determining this conclusion the Directors have obtained a letter of support from fellow group undertaking Southco Manufacturing Limited and from the ultimate parent company and ultimate controlling party, Touchpoint Inc, who have guaranteed the debts of the company for the going concern period.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
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.
|
SOAR TPI (HOLDINGS) LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
In the Statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management.
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.
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.
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
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 reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

SOAR TPI (HOLDINGS) LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of financial position when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
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 comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.
|
Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgements,
estimates and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily available
from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and
other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that
period, or in the period and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
Management believe there are no areas of estimates which would have a significant effect on the
amounts recognised in the financial statements.

Total tax charge for the year
|
|
|
|
From 1 April 2023 the government have enacted changes to the corporation tax rate, increasing the main tax rate to 25%. For companies where financial year ends straddle two tax years pre and post the increase of corporation tax to 25%, profits are apportioned in the ratio to account for the number of months under a 19% taxation rate and a 25% taxation rate. The effective rate of tax for the year ended 31 December 2023 is therefore 23.52%.
