STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
The principal activity of the Company during the year was that of digital performance marketing, including affiliate and reward marketing.
The Company achieved solid top line growth with revenue rising by 10% and gross profit by 3% compared to the previous year, representing our commitment to client retention and strong performance across various campaigns.
Inflationary challenges have resulted in an underlying increase of 5% to overheads (adjusting for non-recurring items). Overall, our business continues to demonstrate resilience and momentum. The directors are satisfied with the financial performance of the Company for the year and are confident that the business model will continue to provide stability and drive growth in the future.
The management of the business and the execution of the Company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks affecting the Company are considered to relate to the trading success of our clients, consolidation amongst partners, increasing regulation in respect of insurance promotions, and recruiting the talent to deliver our growth plans.
The Company has continued to maintain its strong client base,and experienced no business failures of clients. In common with every business, the Company aims to minimise financial risk. The measures used by the directors to manage this risk include preparation and close review of budgets and management accounts. Other risks include: Treasury risk The Company manages a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign exchange rates, liquidity and counterparty risks. Currency risk The Company’s operations are located in the United Kingdom. They undertake transactions denominated in foreign currencies, and consequently exposure to exchange rate fluctuations arises. Forward exchange contracts are not considered necessary and are therefore not used. Liquidity risk The Company currently has positive operational revenue streams. Operational cash flows represent the ongoing digital performance marketing activities. The Company’s financial liabilities are primarily trade creditors. All trade creditors are due for payment in accordance with agreed settlement terms with suppliers or statutory deadlines and all are due within one year. Credit risk The directors consider that the carrying amount of trade and other receivables agrees to the fair value as detailed within the table disclosed in note 12 to the financial statements. The Company is not considered to have exposure to significant credit risk with primary balances due from connected parties and key clients.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2024
The directors actively monitor financial performance indicators (KPIs) that are appropriate to each division and its stage of development. In particular, the directors monitor Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin, Debtors Ageing, and Working Capital on a weekly and monthly basis. Net Profit is monitored on a monthly basis.
Revenue and sales volume are a good high-level indication on how business is going. Gross Profit is considered a significant KPI, as this indicates what the Company can afford to spend on overheads and investment in the business. The percentage margin is important to measure against competitors and always considered when tendering for new business. Operating profit considers both the Gross Profit margin and efficiency of the business in managing overheads. Bad debts are regularly monitored and reviewed, and the percentage of debt overdue is an early indication of potential bad debts. The percentage can fluctuate and the value this year is within the normal range. Movement in sales 10% (2023: 6.9%) Gross profit £3.80m (2023: £3.68m) Gross profit margin 7.7% (2023: 8.2%) Operating profit margin 1.8% (2023: 2.6%) % Of debt overdue 11% (2023: 14%)
People and systems
The external commercial environment remains highly competitive in the UK, and this is expected to continue. However, product developments and service enhancements have helped us to maintain our strong position in the financial service market.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OPTIMISE MEDIA (UK) LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Optimise Media (UK) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 August 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Statement of Financial Position, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the notes to the financial statements, 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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OPTIMISE MEDIA (UK) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.

OPTIMISE MEDIA (UK) LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OPTIMISE MEDIA (UK) 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 identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements through: • our knowledge and sector experience; and • discussion with the Directors. The Company is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including the Companies Act 2006 and tax legislation. The significant laws and regulations identified were communicated to the engagement team who remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit. The Company is subject to other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation. This includes rules under their Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) registration. The entity ensures compliance with the legal and regulatory framework through the use of third-party experts, technical research and Government guidance. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Through these procedures, no instances of actual or suspected non-compliance have been identified. We considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified management override as the area with the greatest potential for fraud. Our procedures to respond to the risk of fraud included: • confirming the existence of a sample of employees to ensure that no fictitious employees were paid; • reviewing bank details of employees, included on payroll, to ensure no duplicated bank accounts; • reviewing a sample of expenditure to ensure authorised in accordance with Company's authorisation policy; • reviewing expenditure for any potential payments to click farms; • gaining confirmation directly from the company’s bank, of the accounts and balances held in their names at the year end and that all reported balances existed; • reviewing systems and procedures to identify potential areas of management override risk, in particular, we carried out testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions to identify large or unusual transactions; • enquiring with those charged with governance and management whether there had been any instances of fraud.

OPTIMISE MEDIA (UK) LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF OPTIMISE MEDIA (UK) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Following detailed team briefings, the responsible individual has assessed that the audit engagement team collectively has the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulation. We have not identified any instances of irregularities, including fraud, throughout the period of 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.
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 directors have, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The directors review management accounts regularly, these include detailed forecasts of the future performance. A future forecast of cash flows shows a positive inflow for the next 12 months to May 2026. The company has a solid base of long term clients and has a proven track record of client retention. This provides confidence in our future profit and cash flow forecasts. Thus, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Defined contribution pension plan
The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds. Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each Balance Sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition. 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 the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the remaining vesting period. The fair value per share has been confirmed by HMRC and is used for the basis of the calculation.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The current corporation 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 is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets relating to the carry-forward of unused tax losses are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised.
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.
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
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:
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.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the company a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the year that the company becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of Financial Position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of Financial Position.
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) 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 debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and

loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments 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 creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors 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.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. In applying accounting policies it is considered that there are no critical judgments that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements. The key assumption concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date that has a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is accrued income and accrued cost of sales. This is calculated based on the number of transactions in the month multiplied by the conversion rate of the prior month. The conversion rate of the prior month is the total transactions in the month divided by the number of validated transactions for that month. The carrying amount at the year end for accrued income is £7,611,655 (2023: £8,885,517) and for accrued cost of sales is £6,965,257 (2023: £8,153,157).
