MUZZ LTD
STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
The principal activity of Muzz Ltd is to serve the global Muslim population with regards to online and offline social networking and matrimonial services - primarily via our Muzz app and website.
The main objective of Muzz Ltd is to grow the business in a profitable manner and to globally scale our platform to continue to meet current and future customer demands.
The principal source of revenue constitutes digital in app purchases (both consumables and subscriptions). Our app is published in both the Apple and Google app stores. We do not expect this to change. The company continue to grow our engineering and marketing and support teams as our platform and volume of active users grows.
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the company are noted below.
Foreign exchange exposure - The business makes sales globally at local prices, which is then mostly FX’d to GBP for payment to Muzz Ltd. App store listing permission - our app is published to the Apple and Google app stores as long as we meet their platform requirements. Our listing status is entirely at their control. We expect to continue to meet their publishing requirements and work with both stores directly. App store fees - all sales made on both Apple and Google app stores are subject to their fees. This rate is entirely determined by the app stores. Market and Price risk - the business is exposed to varying digital subscription prices of competitor and similar products globally. It is in our interest to ensure our pricing remains competitive. Data integrity/theft risk - as any digital platform with an entirely digital product and data footprint, our business is exposed to the risk of hacking, DOS attacks and/or data theft. Alternative billing - the company utilises various alternative payment platforms, and our ability to take payments via these means is only possible whilst we are granted permission by said platforms. Technical outages - the company uses near real time monitoring of its digital operations and sales to ensure near 100% uptime of our online services. As we deploy code or app changes, the risk of a change leading to downtime of our services for some duration is possible.
The directors of the business consider several measures as the Key Performance Indicators of the Company, and these are used to measure the company’s progress from year to year.
These measures consist of Turnover, Gross Profit, Profit before Tax.

DIRECTOR'S REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
The director presents his report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 January 2024.
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic report, the Director's report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
In preparing these financial statements, the director is 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 director is 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 him to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is 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 profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £826,046 (2023 as restated - loss £397,747).
Dividends of £nil (2023: £nil) were paid in the year.
The director who served during the year was:
The company is reliant upon users continuing to sign up to the platform and choosing to upgrade their service to a paid tier.
The board of directors remain confident about the future. The business has a strong digital product and engineering and marketing team, which in turn provide a best in class platform to quickly adapt to market requirements and so there is a reasonable optimism about the return to, and growth beyond, historic levels of trade and performance over the coming years.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MUZZ LTD
We have audited the financial statements of Muzz Ltd (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 January 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

MUZZ LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MUZZ LTD (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The director is 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 Director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic report and the Director's 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 Director's report.

MUZZ LTD
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF MUZZ LTD (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:
∙enquiring of management concerning actual and potential litigation and claims;
∙performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual results that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud;
∙reading minutes of meetings;
∙assessing any management override of controls by testing journal entries and other adjustments and reviewing accounting estimates for indications of potential bias;
∙evaluating any transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business; and
∙maintaining alert to any fraud risks throughout the audit.
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 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.
In the previous account period, the director has taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 477 of the Companies Act 2006. As such, the previous period financial statements were not subject to audit.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme). Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period. Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other receivables, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other receivables due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting date.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

MUZZ LTD
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
Share based payments To the extent that share based payments are made to employees/contractors of the company, an assessment is required of the fair value of such options at grant date. Such an assessment requires judgement and is underpinned by an estimate of the parent (and wider group's) value and the rights attributable to these equity instruments issued by the parent. Deferred tax asset In recognising a deferred tax asset an element of inherent uncertainty exists, as this depends on forecasting sufficient future taxable profit levels within this entity that allow the asset to be utilised. Based on the current forecasted taxable income, there is uncertainty over the recoverability of the asset and as such no deferred tax asset has been recognised.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2024
The 2023 and 2022 prior year comparatives have been restated to correct misstated figures in the Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and the Statement of Comprehensive Income.
Revenue and costs were being accounted for on a cash basis rather than accrual basis, as well as the fact that revenue was being recorded on a net basis rather than gross. The adjustments have lead to an increase in Turnover of £4,238,962, increase in Distribution costs of £4,088,133, decrease in Administrative expenses of £69,975 and a decrease in Interest receivable of £138 and a decrease in Interest payable of £37. Therefore a net increase in profit of £220,703. The adjustments have also lead to a decrease in Cash at bank and in hand of £112, increase in Other debtors of £1,787,902, decrease in Prepayments and accrued income of £826,943 and a decrease of Tax recoverable of £23,498, an increase in Amounts owed to group undertakings of £449,933 and an increase in Accruals and deferred income of £1,192,448. The 2022 opening profit and loss accumulated losses has therefore increased by £925,735. The 2023 and 2022 prior year comparatives have also been restated as a result of intercompany transactions that were recorded in Muzz Ltd's accounts, which actually related to Muzz Holdings Inc. The loan is also denominated in USD and had not been revalued at year end. This has resulted in Administrative expenses increasing by £561,314, Amounts owed to group undertakings increasing by £231,238 and the 2022 opening profit and loss accumulated losses decreasing by £330,076. The share based payment transactions have not been accounted for in the previous accounting periods. The 2023 and 2022 prior year comparatives have therefore been restated which has resulted in an increase in Administrative expenses of £423,094, an increase in Other reserves of £423,094, increase in the 2022 opening Other reserves of £497,944 and an increase in the 2022 opening profit and loss accumulated losses of £497,944. Sales transactions had VAT recorded incorrectly in the 2023 and 2022 accounts. As a result, the 2023 and 2022 prior year comparatives have also been restated. This has resulted in Turnover decreasing by £130,807, Distribution costs increasing by £14,701, Other debtors decreasing by £32,958 and the 2022 opening profit and loss accumulated losses decreasing by £112,550. The net tax impact of the above is a decrease of the 2023 tax credit by £4,555. The directors have made these restatements to better enable the financial statements to show a true and fair view and correctly record the above transactions.
The Company operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the fund and amounted to £36,236 (2023 - £20,015). Contributions totalling £13,478 (2023 - £5,999) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in other creditors.
