DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
- 1 -

The Directors present their Directors' Report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024.

Principal activities

Computerland UK Limited ('the Company') is a wholly owned subsidiary (indirectly held) of Capita plc. Capita plc along with its subsidiaries are hereafter referred to as 'the Group'.

The Company’s principal activity was acting as an agent and serving as a single point of contact for all IT-related procurement within the Group. Accordingly, revenue and expenses were disclosed considering the agent accounting in accordance with IFRS 1. This activity ceased following the transfer of the Company’s technology software and solutions business and associated trade and assets to Capita Shared Services Limited, another Group company, on 1 September 2023. As a result of this transfer, the Directors intend to liquidate the Company and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a non-going concern basis.

As shown in Company's income statement on page 3, revenue has decreased from £132,433 in 2023 to £nil in 2024 on account of business transferred in the previous year and the Company's operating loss of £564,788 in 2023 shifted to an operating profit of £128,289 in 2024. This shift is mainly due to lower depreciation and the absence of impairment charges on right-of-use assets, alongside continued property cost recharge income and gain from lease modifications.

 

The balance sheet on pages 4 to 5 of the financial statements shows the financial position at the year end. Net assets have decreased from £5,361,995 in 2023 to £5,318,463 in 2024 mainly on account of the loss during the year.

Details of the amounts owed by/to its parent company and fellow subsidiary companies are shown in notes 9, 10 and 17 to the financial statements.

Results and dividends

The results for the year are set out on page 3.

The Company has not paid any dividend during the year (2023: £12,000,000).

Directors

The Directors who held office during the year end up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

Capita Corporate Director Limited
G Shilston
(Resigned 31 July 2025)
G Bate-Williams
(Appointed 9 July 2025)
Qualifying third party indemnity provisions

The Company has granted an indemnity to the directors of the Company against liability in respect of proceedings brought by third parties, subject to the conditions set out in the Companies Act 2006. This qualifying third party indemnity remains in force as at the date of approving the Directors' report.

Political donations

The Company made no political donations and incurred no political expenditure during the year (2023: £nil).

Post balance sheet date events

On 7 April 2025, the Company paid a dividend of £4,819,976 and on 15 April 2025 paid a dividend of £36,362 to its parent company, Capita IT Services Holdings Limited.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

Accounting policies
1.1
Basis of preparation

Computerland UK Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is First Floor, 2 Kingdom Street, Paddington, London, England, W2 6BD.

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation for the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024, 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 twelve months following the approval of these financial statements.

The principal activity of the Company ceased on 1 September 2023 when the Company’s technology software and solutions business and associated trade and assets were transferred to a fellow subsidiary company. As a result of this transfer, the Directors intend to liquidate the Company and have therefore prepared the financial statements on a non-going concern basis.

The financial statements have been prepared on a non-going concern basis as at 31 December 2024. As a consequence, the Directors have considered the adjustments required to prepare the financial statement on a non-going concern 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 non-going concern 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 financial 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 ('UK-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:

 

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 the following disclosure:

Change in accounting policies

The Company has adopted the new amendments to standards detailed below but they do not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

New amendments or interpretations

Effective date

Classification of liabilities as current or non-current and non-current liabilities with Covenants - Amendments to IAS 1

Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback - Amendments to IFRS 16    

1 January 2024

Supplier Finance Arrangements - Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7

1.4
Revenue

The Company operates in the service sector rendering IT related procurement services to the Group.

 

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' as control of the performance obligation is transferred to the customer.

 

Transactional (Point- in-time) contracts

The Company delivers goods or services that are transactional 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 and acceptance by a customer or when the customer obtains control of an asset or service in a contract with customer-specified acceptance criteria.

 

Principal versus agent

The Company has arrangements with some of its customers whereby it needs to determine if it acts as a principal or an agent because more than one party is involved in providing the goods and services to the customer. The Company acts as a principal if it controls a promised good or service before transferring that good or service to the customer. The Company is an agent if its role is to arrange for another entity to provide the goods or services. Factors considered in making this assessment are most notably the discretion the Company has in establishing the price for the specified good or service, whether the Company has inventory risk and whether the Company is primarily responsible for fulfilling the promise to deliver the service or good.

 

This assessment of control requires judgement in particular in relation to certain service contracts. Where the Company is acting as a principal, revenue is recorded on a gross basis. Where the Company is acting as an agent revenue is recorded at a net amount reflecting the margin earned.

 

1.5
Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment other than freehold land are stated at cost less depreciation and impairment. Freehold land is not depreciated. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write-off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life, as follows:

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Financial instruments

Trade and other receivables

Trade and other receivables have been measured and presented at their expected realisable values.

 

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables have been measured and presented at their expected settlement values.

1.7
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, reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

 

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.

1.8
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.

1.9
Pensions

The Company operates defined contribution pension schemes and contributions are charged to the income statement in the year in which they are due. These pension schemes are funded and the payment of contributions are made to separately administered trust funds. The assets of the pension schemes are held separately from the Company.

The Company remits monthly pension contributions to Capita Business Services Limited, a fellow subsidiary company of Capita plc, which pays the group liability centrally. Any unpaid pension contributions at the year end are accrued in the accounts of that company.

1.10
Leases

The Company has taken land and buildings on lease.

 

The determination whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. At the inception of the lease, the Company recognises a right-of-use asset at cost, which comprises the present value of minimum lease payments determined at the inception of the lease. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of estimated life or the lease term.

 

Depreciation is included within administrative expenses in the income statement. Amendment to lease terms resulting in a change in payments or the length of the lease results in an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and liability. Right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. Right-of-use assets exclude leases with low values and terms of twelve months or less.

Leases (continued)

 

The Company as a lessee - Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities

The Company recognises lease liabilities where a lease contract exists and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying leased assets. At lease commencement date, the Company recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term.

 

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to acquire an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Incremental borrowing rates are determined monthly and depend on the term, currency and start date of the lease. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on a series of inputs including: the risk-free rate based on swap market data; a credit risk adjustment; and an entity-specific adjustment. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured (with a corresponding adjustment to the related right-of-use asset) when there is a change in future lease payments due to a renegotiation or market rent review, a change of an index or rate or a reassessment of the lease term.

 

Lease payments are apportioned between a finance charge and a reduction of the lease liability based on the constant interest rate applied to the remaining balance of the liability. Interest expense is included within net finance costs in the income statement. Lease payments comprise fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments such as service charges and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the minimum index or rate at inception date. The payments also include any lease incentives and any penalty payments for terminating the lease, if it is anticipated that the Company will exercise that option.

 

The lease term determined comprises the non-cancellable period of the lease contract. Periods covered by an option to extend the lease are included if the Company has reasonable certainty that the option will be exercised, and periods covered by an option to terminate are included if it is reasonably certain that this will not be exercised.

 

The Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in IFRS 16 paragraph 15 not to separate non-lease components such as service charges from lease rental charges.

The Company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of twelve months or less, or for leases of low-value assets including IT equipment. The payments associated with these leases are recognised in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1.11
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.

Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Directors to make judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expense during the presented periods. Although these judgements and assumptions are based on the Directors’ best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ.

 

No significant judgements, estimates and assumptions have been used in the preparation of these financial statements.

A change to the main UK corporation tax rate was substantively enacted on 24 May 2021. The rate applicable from 1 April 2023 increased from 19% to 25%. The deferred tax asset at 31 December 2024 has been calculated based on the 25% rate.

 

In accordance with the stated accounting policy for taxation in note 1.7 to the financial statements, the utilisation and recognition of a deferred tax asset is dependent on the existence of sufficient future taxable profits. As at 31 December 2024, based on forecast profits, the Company has concluded in line with the stated policy that no deferred tax asset should be recognised in respect of capital losses of £10,183 (2023: £10,183).
