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.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the Company in the period 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.

W R C Morey
P Maher
D J Williams

Other changes in directors holding office are as follows:

D J Pile - resigned 4 June 2024
J P Murphy - appointed 4 June 2024

DIRECTORS' AND OFFICERS' LIABILITY INSURANCE
The Company has, as permitted by s234 and 235 of the Companies Act 2006, maintained insurance cover on behalf of the Directors and Company Secretary indemnifying them against certain liabilities which may be incurred by them in relation to the Company.

GOING CONCERN
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis as a holding company.

The Company shows a net current liabilities position at 31 December 2024 due to intercompany balances which are repayable on demand. The subsidiary companies over which the Company has full control are profitable and therefore the directors are confident that liabilities can be met. The directors of the Company have obtained confirmation from the directors of the parent undertaking Enablex Group Limited that the amounts owed will not become payable within the next twelve months.

The Directors are therefore satisfied that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least twelve months from the date of this report. Accordingly, the going concern basis of accounting continues to be used in the preparation of the Annual Report for the period ended 31 December 2024.

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:





P Maher - Director

PRAGMA GROUP LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 11279881)

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties, and loans to related parties.

Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received; other debt instruments are initially measured at present value of the future payments and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet only 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
Current taxes are based on the results shown in the financial statements and are calculated according to local tax rules, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date.

3. EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS

There were no staff costs for the year ended 31 December 2024 nor for the period ended 31 December 2023.
