| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| The year to December 2024 was a transitional period for the Group as we became majority owned by Startek Inc. in July 2024. In FY24 we consolidated our activities with key clients and retained them throughout FY24. However, the anticipated growth from the long-term contracts did not materialise in FY24. Whilst our relationships with our key long-term client's is still good, they are going through a transition period due to the economic downturn. We are in close discussions and expect to gain a larger share of outsourced activities later in 2025 and in 2026. |
| We continue to be a multi-channel data and customer management business and operate in three business areas: |
| - Business Process Outsourcing (BPO): complete customer management solutions for both inbound and outbound activities, combining our omni-channel platform technology with commitment to building in depth knowledge of our customers to provide highly effective and economic solutions. |
| - Data Generation and Analytics: ownership of data from reliable sources. |
| - Price Comparison: generating new customers for major brands in our core areas of mobile and telecoms, which blends our core BPO skills with the data assets we create. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The statement of financial position of the Group shows net liabilities of £8,047k (2023 - net liabilities £1,690k) due to the restructuring of the company as part of the acquisition by Startek Inc. This included writing off intercompany balances owed to Intelling Limited from other Intelling Group Holdings businesses in FY24. |
| We reduced our investment in intangible Customer Data assets in FY24 to reduce the higher risk associated with our Price Comparison business. We have continued to value our data as an intangible asset and have consistently applied our accounting policies throughout the period, including writing off data that was over three years old in line with GDPR policies. The remainder of our Intangible Assets are considered to be appropriately valued by the amortisation rates adopted. |
| The underlying company performance steadied in FY24 but has taken a step back in FY25 as our key clients conduct strategic reviews as part of their transition processes. We expect to see growth later in 2025 and throughout 2026. In FY24: |
| - Gross profit was impacted by slower growth than anticipated and reduced from £9,962k to £8,565k and Gross Profit percentage reduced to 31.9% (FY23 - 36.0%). |
| - Operating Loss increased from £5,618k to £7,617k due to: |
| - the investment we have made in the business to support planned growth from FY25 onwards |
| - exceptional charges of £2,531k for restructuring charges related to the acquisition by Startek Inc |
| - increased data amortisation costs as part of the acquisition by Startek Inc (impact of £3,241k in FY24) |
| - Net Loss after tax for FY24 was £6,356,551k (FY23 - £4,864k loss) due to exceptional restructuring costs and increased data amortisation. |
| The Group saw 3% (FY23 - 12% reduction) reduction in sales volume in FY24 with turnover of £26.8m (FY23 - £27.6mn) as anticipated Sales growth did not materialise. |
| Intelling generates data that is GDPR compliant and has a key data asset in a Consumer file of c.3.3 million unique records that are less than 3 years old. The quality of our consumer file is a key factor in BPO and Switch Experts revenue. |
| Intelling trading as Switch Experts offers price comparison to customers in three sectors: |
| - B2c and B2B Telecoms (TV, Broadband and Landlines) |
| - B2c Mobile. |

| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| Over-reliance on key BPO clients: we have endeavoured to increase our client base to mitigate this risk. We believe our new relationship with Startek will further reduce key client concentration in the coming 12 months. |
| The continuous requirement to ensure GDPR compliance: we have been generating qualifying GDPR data since inception and have a director responsible for ensuring compliance with all GDPR legislation. We have had no GDPR issues to date. |
| Brexit: Brexit has not had any direct impact on the Intelling business, and we believe that Intelling has been Brexit-resilient. |
| Current economic downturn: the downturn has had an impact on business performance in 2024 and 2025, but with excellent relationships with key customers, 2025 and beyond looks incredibly positive for the business. |
| DIRECTORS' INDEMNITIES |
| Directors' and officers' insurance cover is in place for all Directors to provide appropriate cover for their reasonable actions on behalf of the Group. The indemnities, which constitute a qualifying third-party indemnity provision as defined by section 234 of the Companies Act 2006, were in force during the 2024 financial period and remain in force for all current and past Directors of the Group. |
| The Directors are extremely positive about the future of the Group. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2024 |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group 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; |
| - | 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Xeinadin Audit Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Intelling Ltd. |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Intelling Ltd. (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group's loss 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 opinion |
| 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 group 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 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 group's and the parent 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. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| 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. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 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. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Intelling Ltd. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the parent company 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. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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 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 group's and the parent 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 group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Intelling Ltd. |
| Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| Irregularities are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The objectives of our audit are to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence regarding compliance with laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, to perform audit procedures to help identify instances of non-compliance with other laws and regulations that may have a material effect on the financial statements, and to respond appropriately to identified or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations identified during the audit. |
| In relation to fraud, the objectives of our audit are to identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud, to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud through designing and implementing appropriate responses and to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected farad identified during the audit. |
| However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud. |
| In identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team: |
| Obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory frameworks that the company operates in and how the company is complying with the legal and regulatory frameworks. |
| inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including and known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud. |
| discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud. |
| As a result of these procedures, we consider the most significant laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements and FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006. We performed audit procedures to detect non-compliance which may have a material impact on the financial statements which included reviewing financial statement disclosures. |
| The most significant laws and regulations that have an indirect impact on the financial statements are those in relation to General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Enquiries and discussions with management were carried out to asses whether the company is in compliance with these laws and regulations. |
| The audit engagement team identified the risk of management override of controls, revenue recognition and the valuation of intangible fixed assets as the areas where the financial statements were most susceptible to material misstatement due to fraud. Audit procedures performed included but were not limited to testing manual journal entries and other adjustments and evaluating the business rationale in relation to significant, unusual transactions and transactions entered into outside the normal course of business, challenging judgements and estimates applied in revenue recognition and the valuation of intangible fixed assets. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website and http://www.frc.org.uk/auditors responsibilities. |

| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis despite the net liability position. Between 2022 and 2024 the Group has supported its immediate parent company in making loan repayments that were subject to a variable rate of interest, the loan existed as part of a restructure in 2021. |
| on 23 July 2024 Intelling Ltd was sold by its immediate parent company, Intelling Group Limited, to CSP Alpha Holdings Pte Ltd. Following the restructure the Group was able to transfer its short term borrowings from Investec Bank PLC to a term loan and has received further support from its new parent company. The new parent company has offered a facility that Intelling Ltd are still able to drawdown on. |
| The directors have used forecasts and modelling for a period of 3 years to demonstrate that the Group will trade profitably and return to a net asset position. |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated accounts consist of the parent company and its three subsidiaries. All subsidiaries have a reporting date of 31 December 2024. All subsidiaries were acquired on the day of incorporation and therefore there are no fair value adjustments or goodwill arising on consolidation. |
| A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Where a subsidiary has different accounting policies to the Group, adjustments are made to those subsidiary's financial statements to apply the Group's accounting policies when preparing the consolidated financial statements. |
| The consolidated accounts are prepared by combining the results of consolidating entities and eliminating any inter company transactions and balances. |
| Intelling South Africa (PTY) Limited |
| The combining subsidiary's functional currency is the South African Rand (ZAR). The balance sheet is converted to Pound Sterling (£) at 31 December 2024 using the official rate at that date. Any foreign exchange differences occurring as a result of eliminating inter company transactions is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement as either a profit or a loss. |
| Intelling India Private Limited |
| The combining subsidiary's functional currency is the Indian Rupee (INR). The balance sheet is converted to Pound Sterling (£) at 31 December 2024 using the official rate at that date. Any foreign exchange differences occurring as a result of eliminating inter company transactions is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement as either a profit or a loss. |

| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| Judgement and key sources of estimated uncertainty |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Appropriate changes in estimates are made as management becomes aware of changes in circumstances surrounding the estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.. |
| Key sources of estimated uncertainty |
| The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows. |
| Customer data valuation |
| Customer data represent a significant proportion of the Group's assets. The charge in respect of periodic ammortisation is derived after determining an estimate of the asset's useful live at a period in time. |
| Management judgment is used to determine the amount of customer data intangible to be capitalised, based upon the historic performance of data sources having considered both the expected economic benefit to be derived from the acquired data and the commercial considerations that derive useful economic life. These considerations include expected contract renewals and the period over which the veracity of the data deteriorates.The Intangible Assets accounting policy sets out the estimation technique used when valuing Customer Data. |
| In 2024 a change in estimation technique has resulted in additional amortisation of data stock of £2,177,658 of which £425,981 is in relation to the current year and £1,429,827 relating to prior periods. During the year £3,307,673 of data stock has been capitalised. The value of Customer Data at 31 December 2024 is £1,585,618. |
| Useful economic lives of intangible and tangible assets. |
| The annual amortisation charge for intangible assets (other than Customer Data) and the depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended where necessary to reflect current carrying value, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation, and the physical condition of the assets. |
| During an impairment review management have impaired tangible fixed assets with a carrying value of £378,130 to nil. Management believe that these assets do not have a recoverable value. The impairment loss is shown in administrative expenses. |
| Previously capitalised Development Costs in relation to a project that has ended in 2024 have been impaired to nil. The project was no longer feasible and management believed that the asset did not have a recoverable amount. The amounts capitalised amounted to £1,917,917, the carrying value at 1 January 2024 and the subsequent impairment loss was £1,033,666. The impairment loss is shown in administrative expenses. |
| See note 11 for the carrying amount of the intangible assets, note 12 for the carrying amount of the tangible assets, and note 1 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets. |
| Accruals |
| Management have estimated that a holiday pay accrual amounting to £300,000 existed at the year end. The accrual is based on an average daily rate per employee. |
| Impairment of debtors |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtors, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. A the balance sheet date debtors totalling £1,374,825 have been impaired. See note 14 for the net carrying amount of the debtors. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the total amount receivable by the company for services provided, excluding value added tax and trade discounts. Revenue is recognised at the point when the company has met its contractual obligations and obtained its right to full consideration. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible fixed assets are recognised at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses where applicable. Expenditure on development is capitalised as development costs in the year in which it is incurred. Research costs are written off in the year of expenditure through profit and loss. |
| The company acquires customer data to use in its commercial activities which is initially recognised at cost. |
| Amortisation is recognised so as to write the cost of the asset less their residual values over their useful lives on the following basis: |
| Development costs | 25% straight line |
| Customer data | see below |
| The estimated useful life of Customer Data is used to value the data and any excess being amortisation in the year, recognised in the income statement. |
| Previously, Customer Data was given an estimated life of 3 years, which reduced from day one in 6 monthly increments as follows: |
| At the end of... | Value remaining | Charged as |
| Month 6 | 50% | 50% after 6 months |
| Month 12 | 25% | 25% after 12 months |
| Month 18 | 10% | 15% after 18 months |
| Month 36 | 0% | 10% after 36 months |
| From 2024, a change in the estimated useful life and valuations of Customer Data has been changed to the following: |
| At the end of... | Value remaining | Charged as |
| Month 1 | 40% | 60% after 1 month |
| Month 12 | 18% | 2% per month = 22% |
| Month 24 | 6% | 1% per month = 12% |
| Month 36 | 0% | 0.5% per month = 6% |

| Fixed assets are recognised at cost less depreciation and impairment where applicable. |
| Impairment of fixed assets |
| At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is an indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the assets is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss(if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
| Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use , the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset fo which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted. |
| If the recoverable amount of an asset( or cash - generating unit) is estimated to be less than it's carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset( or cash- generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease. |

| Financial instruments |
| The Group has elected to apply the provisions of section 11 'Basic financial instrument's' and section 12' Other financial instrument's issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instrument's. |
| Financial instrument's are recognised 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 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 debtors, amounts due from group undertakings and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitute a financing transaction, where the financial asset is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Impairment of financial assets |
| Financial assets are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date. |
| Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that , as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimates cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. |
| If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Derecognition of financial assets |
| Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and subsequently all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated party. |
| Classification of 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 deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank and other loans and amounts due to group undertakings, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Derecognition of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities are recognised when the company's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. |
| Equity Instruments |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the fair value of proceeds received, net of direct issue costs. Dividend payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company. |
| Taxation |
| The tax expense represents the sum of the current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Current tax assets are recognised when tax paid exceeds the tax payable. |
| Current and deferred tax is charged or credited to profit or loss, except when it relates to items charged or credited to other comprehensive income or equity, when the tax follows the transaction or event it relates to and is also charged or credited to other comprehensive income, or equity. |
| Current tax assets and current tax liabilities are deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if and only if, there is a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and the entity intends either to settle on the net basis or to realise the assets and settle the liability simultaneously. |
| Current tax is based on taxable profit for the year. Current tax assets and liabilities are measured using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. |
| Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised , or the liability is settled based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. |
| Deferred tax liabilities are recognised in respect of all timing differences that exist at the reporting date. Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income that arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in difference periods from their recognition in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered by the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Employee benefits |
| The cost of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. |
| The cost of unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. |

| Investments in subsidiaries in the parent company balance sheet are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less impairment. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in the profit and loss. |
| A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. |
