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.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The group's principal activities are the supply of machines, engines, drilling equipment & parts and finance solutions to the construction, mining, infrastructure and renewables industries mainly in Africa, Latin America and Central Asia.

At country level, we support our customers by working with experienced and knowledgeable local businesses combining an understanding of local markets with our knowledge of industrial equipment, supply chain, logistics, finance and technology to offer a uniquely competitive solution to our customers. Our business is underpinned by a desire to increase trade between countries becoming a trusted partner with our suppliers and end customers to deliver improved business performance throughout the supply chain particularly at a community level.

Key performance indicators
In line with our operating objectives the group is focused on increasing shareholder value by growing revenue,
improving EBITDA and developing market leading technology that delivers accurate data to end users. The group uses Sales, Gross Profit, Net Profit, Free Cash Flow and FX KPIs to manage its business performance. Where relevant, KPIs are used as the primary measures of whether the group is achieving its objectives, however the scale and variety of operations means that many other detailed performance measures are used in addition.

Sustainability
Sustainability is an integral part of our business and underpins our strategy and operations. There is a very high level of awareness of the importance of sustainability practices for the future of the group and of our customers amongst our employees. We encourage business travel only when strictly necessary to meet with customers and we have a hybrid working model for our employees. We have made some progress in documenting and measuring sustainability policies and the company is firmly committed to sustainability principles in its operations. Significantly we have developed a program to work with customers to resell redundant and excess machines and machine parts, resell second hand parts and to refurbish equipment prolonging its useful life.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Directors have considered and reviewed the principal business risks relating to the group. These risks are
outlined below:

Foreign exchange risks
The group's trading activities are substantially carried out in US Dollars and Euros. The group has a risk from
movements in exchange rates as the financial statements are stated in GB Pounds. In order to mitigate the risk of foreign currency exposure on significant transactions the group uses forward currency contracts where appropriate.

Credit risks
The group's main financial assets are cash at bank, trade and other debtors. The group has mitigated credit risk by
operating bank accounts with different financial institutions, and by carrying out customer credit checks and setting
customer credit limits.

Market risks
The markets in which the group operate are competitive and there is a risk of the group losing sales and key
customers. The group competes with a large number of equipment suppliers both in the United Kingdom, and
internationally. The group mitigates this risk by providing a high level of customer service and offering innovative
customer financing solutions. In addition some of the countries where the group operates have varying levels of
political and economic uncertainty. The group mitigates these risks by doing business in multiple countries and
geographies, working closely with its local partners, customers and financial partners to deliver local cost effective
business solutions.

VIA.TRADE LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 09431685)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024


Operating risks
The group principally supplies plant, machinery and spare parts and is dependent on continued demand for, and supply of, products. The group is seeking mitigate this risk by developing innovative financial solutions for customers that enables the customer to order at scale and it is continually working with other suppliers to expand its supplier base. In addition the group has continued its investment in the development of a technology platform that will enable customers to get product pricing, availability, logistics and delivery information with limited manual intervention.

Key person risk
The group has a high dependency on a number of its key executives and is working to reduce this dependency with a number of new hires as the business grows.

Competition
The group operates in a very competitive market place with competitors dropping margins to secure market share. The group mitigates this risk by working closely with its local partners to ensure that it is competitive, offering outstanding customer service and developing technology that better serves customer reporting requirements. In addition the development of financial solutions that enables customers to better meet their commercial needs is a competitive differentiator. Management interact regularly with customer and use information gleaned from these meetings to improve its services to customers.

Economy
The general economic conditions and other similar factors including access to credit, unemployment rates, consumer confidence, and other macroeconomic factors impact on the business. A challenging economic and financial situation and uncertainty regarding potential economic recovery could undermine customer demand. A loss of customers or a decline in sales could have an adverse effect on the group's financial position, results of operations and cash flow and may ultimately affect its ability to meet its growth targets.

Capital risk
In order to maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing business operations and future developments the group uses a mixture of long term and short term debt finance.

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, Jamieson Stone LLP, 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
VIA.TRADE LTD

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Via.Trade Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other 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 profit for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for 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
VIA.TRADE 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 four, 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.

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.

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 that the principal risk of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations related to:
- management bias in respect of accounting estimates and judgements made;
- management override of control;
- posting of unusual journals or transactions;
- significant cash based transactions/misappropriation of cash.

We focussed on those areas that could give rise to a material misstatement in the company financial statements.

Our procedures included, but were not limited to:
- enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims, including instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud;
- reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance where available;
- reviewing legal expenditure in the year to identify instances of non-compliance with laws, regulations and fraud;
- reviewing the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
- performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries andother adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside thenormal course of business and reviewing accounting estimates for bias.

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 Report of the Auditors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

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

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Via.Trade Ltd is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

These financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.

Significant judgements and estimates
In the application of the company's and the group'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 considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised 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.

Turnover
Turnover is the total amount receivable by the company excluding value added tax, in the ordinary course of its business for goods supplied and services provided.

Intangible assets
Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Computer software is being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of five years.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Plant and machinery - 25% on cost
Office equipment - 33% on cost

Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items.

Financial instruments
The company and the group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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.

Foreign currencies
Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which means that the company and the group can be expected to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis of preparation the directors have taken into account the key risks of the business. The Directors have considered the company's and the group's business model and availability of cash resources and cite that the Company and the Group are profitable, is in a net asset position at the year end and has generated sufficient cash to meet its liabilities during the financial year. Having undertaken this assessment the directors consider that the company and the group will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future and it is therefore appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.
