Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2024.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
Netpremacy's results to December 2024 showed steady trading through the year. Accounts to December 2024 showed a net retraction of 11.51% (to £61.0m), however the position is still strong with an EBITDA in the year of £2.8m.

Over the last year we have demonstrated our ability to act quickly and effectively to solve complex challenges for our clients.

GOOGLE PARTNER OF THE YEAR
Netpremacy was awarded the Google Partner of the year for Google Work Transformation Enterprise in 2020 and 2021. In October 2023 we were named Google Sales Partner of the Year (UK) by Google. In July 2024 we were re-awarded Work Transformation - Enterprise Specialisation for a further 3 years. This is a global partner award presented by Google, which recognised Netpremacy's strong technical capability, and its high level of certified professionals, along with customer success throughout the year.

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT
In accordance with section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, each of the directors acts in the way they consider, in good faith, would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of all its stakeholders as a whole.

Our key stakeholders are our staff, customers and suppliers and all key Board decisions take into account the impact on all relevant stakeholders.

We have increased our reporting to staff, sharing news and results across teams to maximise employee engagement and visibility.

The Board continues to provide oversight governance to ensure that the business remains compliant with its policies and maintains a high standard of business conduct.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
There are a number of potential risks and uncertainties which could have a material impact on the company's long-term performance and cause the actual results to materially differ from expected results. Management continually seeks to identify material risks and to implement plans to mitigate the company's exposure to them.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
Netpremacy continues to invest across the organisation, especially in technical personnel and cloud certifications, with a large focus on Artificial Intelligence.This ensures a consistently high level of consultancy and technical excellence to cement our position in the market; delivering strong growth in service revenue and profitability.

ONE OF EUROPE'S LARGEST INDEPENDENT GOOGLE PARTNERS
Founded in 2000, Netpremacy is one of the largest full-stack Google Premier Partners in Europe, providing a range of licencing, professional and managed services across Google's workplace communication and collaboration solutions. Netpremacy enjoys particular success introducing Google Gemini into its substantial Google Workspace client base, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and a heavy focus in Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence.

ENGAGEMENT WITH SUPPLIERS, CUSTOMERS AND OTHERS
The directors continually have regard to foster the company's business relationships with customers, suppliers and others.

We focus on strong customer relationships which helps to retain our broad customer basis.

Netpremacy is dependent on its relationship with Google along with other vital suppliers, investing in staff training and certifications, and liaising closely with them.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 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;
-state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and
explained in the financial statements;
-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.

Report of the Directors
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024


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, Malcolm Jones & Co Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





J L Carter - Director


29 September 2025

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Netpremacy Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Netpremacy Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 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.

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 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 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 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 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
Netpremacy Limited


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 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, 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.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities 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.

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. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework within which the company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that directly effects how material balances are determined and also the disclosures in the financial statements. the laws and regulations considered by us in this context were the Companies Act 2006 and various taxation legislation.

We identified the greatest risks of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be revenue and cost recognition and override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to revenue and cost recognition risks included sample testing a sample of income/costs across the year to agree to supporting documentation and reviewing income and costs either side of the year end to ensure they have been recognised correctly. Our audit procedures to respond to management override risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and an assessment of the risks of irregularities, reviewing the posting of journals and reviewing the accounting estimates for bias.

Due to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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
Netpremacy Limited


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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Netpremacy 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.

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.

Turnover
Turnover represents net invoiced sales of goods and services, excluding value added tax.

Revenue from contracts where there is a provision of services involved, is recognised at the point the contract is agreed, which would normally be the date the sales invoice is raised. This is the point when the significant risks and rewards of ownership, for a specified period of time, are passed to the customer.

Revenue from the sale of goods is normally recognised on dispatch of goods. This is the point when the significant risks and rewards of ownership are passed to the customer, the amount of revenue can be reliably measured, it is probable that economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and that costs incurred can be reliably measured.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.
Short leasehold - 2% on cost
Fixtures and fittings - 15% on cost
Motor vehicles - 20% on reducing balance
Computer equipment - 25% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

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
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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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.

The benefits of lease incentives connected with property leases are recognised in the Income Statement at the time the incentive was made, rather than over the term of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
