FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024.

DIRECTORS
The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2024 to the date of this report.

Mr P P Tomlinson
Mr J P Clarke
Mr S J Wilkinson
Mr T Darbyshire

Other changes in directors holding office are as follows:

Mr J A Leone - resigned 16 May 2024
Mr S R Ferry - appointed 16 May 2024
Mr A G Fraser - appointed 12 July 2024

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
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). 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, Christian Douglass Accountants Limited, are deemed to be reappointed in accordance with section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

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:





Mr T Darbyshire - Director


18 July 2025

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
IEG GROUP LIMITED

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of IEG Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet 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 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 loss 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 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 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 group and the parent 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 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; 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 Group Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Directors.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
IEG GROUP LIMITED


Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page two, 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.

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

The audit, conducted in accordance with the ISAs (UK), required the exercise of professional judgment and the application of professional skepticism throughout. The audit was planned so as to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, howsoever arising, and we subsequently designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks. We obtained an understanding of the company and group's systems of internal control, which management have established as described above, and undertook walkthrough testing to confirm their operation, solely to assist with designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. We evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies and the reasonableness of accounting estimates used by management. We audited the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, if any. Further, we reviewed and concluded on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting.

As a general commercial business, neither the company or group operate in a heavily regulated environment, however we identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial experience, through discussion with the directors and other management (as required by auditing standards), and from inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence and we discussed with the directors and other management, the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations. We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our audit team and remained alert for any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.

The company and group are subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related companies legislation), distributable profits legislation, taxation legislation and pension legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.

Owing 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 the auditing standards. In addition, as with any audit, there remains a higher risk of non-detection of fraud based irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. 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
IEG GROUP 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.

IEG GROUP LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 13616885)

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

1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

IEG Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 13616885 and its registered office address is at Queens Court, Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge, Cheshire, SK9 7QD.

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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

At the balance sheet date, the company and group had net liabilities of £5,741,007 (2023: £3,480,932) and £6,059,822 (2023: £3,898,079) respectively. It is relevant to note that interest payable on 'Other loans' is capitalised and therefore does not have any impact on working capital balances. The other loans themselves are long term liabilities that do not require repayment within the period of twelve months following the approval of the accounts.

The directors have considered the projected trading and cash position of the group's trading subsidiaries for a period of twelve months following the approval of the accounts. The projections demonstrate that, with the continuing support of the group's funders, the company can meet its working capital requirements as they fall due. The directors, therefore, consider it appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.

Basis of consolidation
The group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December 2024. Subsidiary undertakings are included using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of subsidiaries sold or acquired are included in the profit and loss account up to, or from, the date control passes. The purchase consideration has been allocated to assets and liabilities on the basis of fair value at the date of acquisition. Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation.

Related party exemption
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements.

Turnover
Turnover represents the amount derived from ordinary activities, and stated after trade discounts, other sales taxes and value added tax, except in respect of service contracts where turnover is recognised when the group obtains the right to consideration. In respect of the latter, turnover represents a proportion of total expected contract revenue compared to actual costs incurred to the balance sheet date, calculated to represent the forecast margin expected on completion of the contract. The resultant provisions for unbilled income or income billed in advance are included in debtors and creditors respectively, as amounts recoverable on contracts and deferred income.

The directors are required to apply judgement in assessing turnover and arriving at the relevant proportions to be accounted for in any period. The key area of estimation uncertainty involves the likelihood of changes to customer requirements during the period. Factors taken into account in reaching their decision include the actual outturn of previous assignments and job by job appraisal of performance to date together with future expectations.

Goodwill
Goodwill arises on consolidation, in respect of the acquisition of businesses in 2021 and 2024. Goodwill is initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, as assessed at each balance sheet date. The directors consider that a useful economic life of ten years is appropriate

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

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

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

Development of products is capitalised when it meets the following conditions:
i) It is technically feasible to complete the research or development so that the product will be available for use or sale.
ii) It is intended to use or sell the product being developed.
iii) The group is able to use or sell the product.
iv) It can be demonstrated that the product will generate probable future economic benefits.
v) Adequate technical, financial and other resources exist so that product development can be completed and subsequently used or sold.
vi) Expenditure attributable to the research and development work can be reliably measured.

All other research and development expenditure, as applicable, is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

Development costs are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of three and six years.

Other intangible assets are amortised over their useful economic life of 10 years.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.
Fixtures and fittings - 25% on cost, 20% on reducing balance and 25%-33% on cost
Computer equipment - 25% on cost and 25%-33% on cost

Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical invoice cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for operation by the group.

Financial instruments
Financial instruments are considered to comprise bank balances and trade and other debtors plus trade and other creditors, including group balances, which are all included on a non-discounted basis, at transaction price less any necessary impairment. In addition, financial instruments include financial liabilities representing financing transactions, being other loans which are initially recorded at the present value of expected future cashflows and are re-measured at each balance sheet date at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Income and expenditure generated in respect of these financial instruments, including interest receivable and payable, are recognised in the income statement as they accrue.

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.

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.

16. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

The company established an EMI share option scheme during 2022. The options are exercisable only on a company sale and will lapse in 2029.

87,899 share options were outstanding at the start of the year. The exercise price was <1p for some and £1.92 for the remainder..
The value of the share options granted has been assessed considering the future dividend expectations and using statistical modelling incorporating a risk-free rate at grant date of 3%. Volatility is deemed to be low.

The directors have considered the probability of these options being exercised and the assessment of the market value, and consider it appropriate to recognise no expense in the profit and loss for the period and no liabilities at the balance sheet date on grounds of materiality. This position is reassessed annually and will be revised as new information is obtained.
