| Report of the Directors |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| CHANGE OF NAME |
| The company passed a special resolution on 6 August 2025 changing its name from Transsnet Payment Limited to Palmpay (UK) Limited. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of a holding company. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report. |
| Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
| GOING CONCERN |
| The group of which the company is a part of continues to raise additional funds and these are invested directly into the company's investments whilst they are in their development stage. As a result, all profits are reinvested in the activities of these companies and no dividends are paid. This situation will remain until the subsidiaries are self-sufficient. |
| The company has made a pre tax profit of £21k (2023: loss of £2,846k) in the current financial year but has a positive balance sheet position showing net assets of £33,204k (2023: £33,183k). Of the liabilities owed by the company as at 31 December 2024, £19,956k (2023: £18,584k) is owed to other group undertakings. The liability owed to the other group undertakings is included as a long term liability. |
| Therefore the company will be dependent on financial support from its immediate parent, Palmpay Digital Technology (Hong Kong) Limited, as well as its ultimate parent Shenzhen Transsion Investment Limited, a company registered in the People's Republic of China. Palmpay Digital Technology (Hong Kong) Limited has confirmed that it will provide financial support to the company until support is no longer required. |
| Considering the factors discussed above, the directors of the company believe that the going concern assumption has been appropriately applied to these financial statements. |
| DIRECTORS INTERESTS IN CONTRACTS OF SIGNIFICANCE |
| There were no contracts of significance to which the company was a party, and in which the director of the company had a material interest, whether directly or indirectly, subsisting at the the end of the year or at any time during the year. |
| DIRECTOR INDEMNITIES |
| The company has not made qualifying third party indemnity payments for the benefit of the director during the year. |
| PALMPAY (UK) LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 11099155) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT |
| The directors are responsible for preparing 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework'. 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 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 company'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 company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Feist Hedgethorne Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Palmpay (UK) Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Palmpay (UK) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of its 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 company 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. |
| Emphasis of matter relating to going concern |
| Because of the support from its parent and its ultimate parent company, the directors believe that the going concern assumption has been appropriately applied to these financial statements. 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. |
| As noted in the Report of the Directors, the company has made a pre tax profit of £21k (2023: loss of £2,846k) in the current financial year but has a positive balance sheet position which shows net assets of £33,204k (2023: £33,183k). Of the liabilities owed by the company as at 31 December 2024, £19,956k (2023: £18,584k) is owed to other group undertakings. |
| Therefore the company will be dependent on financial support from its immediate parent, Palmpay Digital Technology (Hong Kong) Limited, as well as its ultimate parent Shenzhen Transsion Investment Limited, a company registered in the People's Republic of China. |
| 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. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Palmpay (UK) Limited |
| 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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Report of the Directors has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| 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 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the 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; or |
| - | the directors were not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Directors. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page three, 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Palmpay (UK) Limited |
| 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: |
| The extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities including fraud |
| Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: |
| - | the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| - | we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with the director and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the e-learning sector; |
| - | we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; |
| - | we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and |
| - | identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. |
| We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: |
| - | making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and |
| - | considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. |
| To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: |
| - | performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; |
| - | tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; |
| - | investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. |
| In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: |
| - | agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
| - | reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
| - | enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and |
| - | reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators including the Health and Safety Executive, and the company’s legal advisors, where applicable. |
| There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. |
| Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Palmpay (UK) Limited |
| 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. |
| Use of our 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |

| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Palmpay (UK) Limited 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 Company Information page. |
| The functional currency of the company is the United States Dollar ($) and the presentational currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). The reason the financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (£) as opposed to the United States Dollar ($) is that the company is incorporated in the United Kingdom, with accounts filed with the UK registrar and hence the directors consider the presentation in £ to be more appropriate and more useful to users of the financial statements in the UK. |

| For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an assets carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the assets original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract. |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an 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. |

| Taxation |
| Taxation 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 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. |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have been 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 the 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 timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probably that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Transactions and balances |
| Foreign currency transactions are translated into the presentational currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. |
| At each period end, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. |
| Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.. |
| Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'other operating income'. |
| Employee benefit costs |
| 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 the the Income Statements when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability on the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds. |

| Income |
| The company's primary source of income is management fees charged to the parent company for administrative and strategic services provided. Other sources of income includes interest received on loans made to companies within the group to which the entity belongs and dividend income received from investment companies. |
| Management fees are recognised in the period where the service is provided. The fees are charged in accordance with the intro-group service agreements, and revenue is is recognised when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. |
| All interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method. |
| Dividend income is recognised when the dividends are declared. |
| Impairment policy |
| At each balance sheet date, the company reviews the carrying amount of its assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any. |
| Financial asset investments |
| Investments in subsidiaries are recognised at cost less accumulated impairment losses. |

| Palmpay (UK) Ltd has received substantial loans from companies within the group which are presented as non-current liabilities. These liabilities have not been discounted to net present value, as required by IAS 32, Financial Instruments. The directors consider this presentation to be true and fair due to the nature of the loans. There is no fixed repayment date for these loans. |
