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

The principal activity of the Company is that of carrying on the business of a holding and investment company. There have not been any significant changes in the Company's principal activities in the year under review. The Directors plan to liquidate the Company and therefore the financial statements as at 31 December 2024 have been prepared on the basis that the Company is no longer a going concern. As a consequence, the current assets have been measured and presented at their expected realisable values. The current liabilities are measured and presented at their expected settlement values.

 

The profit before tax has declined from £49,120,597 in 2023 to £1 in 2024. The profit reported in 2023 was primarily driven by dividend income received from a subsidiary ahead of its liquidation.

 

The balance sheet on pages 4 to 5 of the financial statements shows the financial position at the year end. Net assets have marginally improved from £49,270,766 in 2023 to £49,270,767 in 2024 primarily due to dividend received. Details of the amounts owed by/to its parent company and fellow subsidiary companies are shown in note 5 and note 6 to the financial statements.

Results and dividends

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

Accounting policies
1.1
Basis of preparation

Capita Employee Benefits Holdings 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. The company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the Directors' report.

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 12 months following the approval of these accounts.

 

The principal activity of the Company is that of carrying on the business of a holding and investment company. However, the Directors plan to liquidate the Company and therefore have prepared the financial statements on the basis that the Company is no longer a going concern 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 basisfalse.

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 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:

1.3
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

1 January 2024

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
Investments

All investments are initially recorded at their cost. Subsequently, they are reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable.

1.5
Financial instruments

Trade and other receivables

The 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.

1.6
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.

 

1.7
Group accounts

The financial statements present information about the Company as an individual company and not about its Group. The Company has not prepared Group accounts because it is fully exempt from the requirement to do so by section 400 of the Companies Act 2006 since it is a subsidiary company of Capita plc, a company incorporated in England and Wales, and is included in the consolidated financial statements of that company.

2
Significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of financial statements in conformity 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 reported periods. Although these judgements and assumptions are based on the Directors' best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ.
