MEMBERS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
The members present their annual report together with the audited financial statements of Stirling Park LLP (the "LLP") for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Review of the business
Stirling Park LLP ('the LLP’) is a limited liability partnership of ColX Limited whose designated members are related party entities. ColX Limited along with its subsidiaries are hereafter referred to as 'the Group'.
The principal activity of the LLP continued to be that of revenue management and enforcement services. There have not been any significant changes in the LLP's principal activities in the year under review. The Members are not aware, at the date of this report, of any likely major changes in the LLP's activities in the next year. As shown in the LLP's income statement on page 8, the profit for the year has slightly decreased from £118,420 in 2023 to £50,711 in 2024. This has primarily been caused by severance costs of £351,332 following restructuring activity within the group. The balance sheet on page 9 of the financial statements shows the LLP's financial position at the year end. Total Members' interests have increased from £958,990 in 2023 to £1,009,702 in 2024 due to profit during the year and no distribution. Key Financial Performance Indicators Key financial performance indicators used by the LLP are profit before tax, operating margins, free cashflows before business exits and gearing ratio. The LLP manages its operations on a subsidiary limited company basis and as a consequence these indicators are only monitored at a subsidiary level. Principal risks and uncertainties The LLP is subject to various risks and uncertainties during the ordinary course of its business many of which result from factors outside of its control. The LLP's risk management framework provides reasonable (but cannot provide absolute) assurance that significant risks are identified and addressed. An active. risk management process identifies, assesses, mitigates and reports on strategic, financial, operational and compliance risk. The principal themes of risk for the LLP are: • Strategic: changes in economic and market conditions such as contract pricing and competition. • Financial: significant failures in internal systems of control and lack of corporate stability, • Operational: including recruitment and retention of staff, maintenance of reputation and strong supplier and customer relationships, operational IT risk, and failures in information security controls. Compliance: non-compliance with laws and regulations. The LLP must comply with an extensive range of requirements that govern its business. To mitigate the effect of these risks and uncertainties, the LLP adopts a number of systems and procedures, including: • Regularly reviewing trading conditions to be able to respond quickly to changes in market conditions. • Applying procedures and controls to manage compliance, financial and operational risks, including adhering to a strict internal control framework.
Designated Members
Equita Limited and Colx Limited were designated members of the LLP throughout the period.

MEMBERS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Policy on Members' drawings
The Members' drawing policy allows each member to draw a proportion of their profit share, subject to the cash requirements of the business.
A members' capital requirement is linked to their share of profit and the financing requirement of the limited liability partnership. There is no opportunity for appreciation of the capital subscribed. Just as incoming members introduce their capital at parity, so the retiring members are repaid their capital at parity
Political donations
The LLP made no political donations and incurred no political expenditure during the year (2023: £nil).
Auditor
Cooper Parry Group Limited resigned as the Company’s statutory auditor, and Langtons Professional Services Limited was appointed in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006, as approved by the Board of Directors.
Members' responsibilities statement
The members are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law, (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008), requires the members to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the members 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, (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008) the members 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 LLP and of the profit or loss of the LLP for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the members 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 UK 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 LLP will continue in business.
The members are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the LLP's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the LLP and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 (as applied by The Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of the Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008). They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the LLP and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Disclosure of information to auditors
Each of the persons who are members at the time when this Members' report is approved has confirmed that:

STIRLING PARK LLP
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STIRLING PARK LLP
We have audited the financial statements of Stirling Park LLP (the 'LLP') for the year ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Reconciliation of members' interests and the related notes, 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).
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 LLP in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the members' 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 LLP'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 members with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STIRLING PARK LLP (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The members are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. 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 course of 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.

STIRLING PARK LLP
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF STIRLING PARK LLP (CONTINUED)
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 an Auditors' report 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.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud. The objectives of our audit, in respect to fraud, are: • to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; • to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses; and • to respond appropriately to fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management. Our approach was as follows: We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the Company and determined that the most significant are those that relate to the reporting framework (FRS 101 and the Companies Act 2006), the relevant tax compliance regulations in the UK and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We understood how the Company is complying with those frameworks by making enquiries of management. Through consideration of the results of our audit procedures we were able to either corroborate or provide contrary evidence which was then followed up. Based on our understanding we designed our audit procedures to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations. Our procedures involved: • enquiries of management; and • journal entry testing, with a focus on journals indicating large or unusual transactions based on our understanding of the business. We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including how fraud might occur by meeting with management to understand where it considered there was susceptibility to fraud. We also considered performance targets and their propensity to influence efforts made by management to manage revenue and earnings. Where the risk was considered to be higher, including areas impacting key performance indicators or management remuneration, we performed audit procedures to address each identified fraud risk or other risk of material misstatement. These procedures included those on revenue recognition detailed above, the assessment of items identified by management as non-recurring and testing manual journals and were designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial statements were free from material fraud or error.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
In determining the appropriate basis of preparation for the annual report and financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2024, the LLP's Members ("the Members") are required to consider whether the LLP can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months following the approval of these financial statements.
Board assessment Accounting standards require that 'the foreseeable future' for going concern assessment covers a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements, although those standards do not specify how far beyond twelve months the Members should consider. In its going concern assessment, the Members have considered the period from the date of approval of these financial statements to 30 September 2026 ('the going concern period'). The financial forecasts used for the going concern assessment are derived from financial projections for 2025 which run to September 2026 for the LLP which been subject to review and challenge by management and Members. The Members have approved the projections. The Members have taken into account any uncertainties in revenue, known increases in cost bases and applied these to the forecasts prepared. The forecasts prepared by the Members show that the LLP has the ability to continue to operate with the funding facilities available to it for a period of at least 12 months from signing of these financial statements. The Members therefore consider it appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis. Transactional (Point in time) contracts The Company delivers specialist debt recovery and enforcement services that are transactional services for which revenue is recognised at the point in time when either a debt is recovered and remitted to the customer or the enforcement services are delivered.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The determination whether an arrangement is, or contains, a lease is based on whether the contract conveys a right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The following sets out the LLP's lease accounting policy for all leases with the exception of leases with low value and term of 12 months or less which are expensed to the income statement. The LLP as a lessee - Right of use assets and liabilities. At the inception of the lease, the group recognises a right-of-use asset at cost, which comprises the present value of minimum lease payments determined at the inception of the lease. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method over the shorter of estimated life or lease term. Depreciation is included within administrative expenses in the income statement. An amendment to lease terms resulting in a change in payments or the length of the lease results in an adjustment to the right-of-use asset and liability. Right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. The LLP recognises lease liabilities where a lease contract exists and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying leased assets. At the commencement date of the lease, the LLP recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of the lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the LLP uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate that is implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that the group would have to pay to borrow, over a similar term and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. Incremental borrowing rates are determined monthly and depend on the term, country, currency and start date of the lease. The incremental borrowing rate is determined based on a series of inputs including: the risk-free rate based on swap market data; country-specific risk adjustment; a credit risk adjustment; and an entity-specific adjustment where the entity risk profile is different to that of the Group. The lease liability is subsequently remeasured (with a corresponding adjustment to the related right of- use asset) when there is a change in future lease payments due to a renegotiation or market rent review; a change of an index or rate or a reassessment of the lease term. Lease payments are apportioned between a finance charge and a reduction of the lease liability based on the constant interest rate applied to the remaining balance of the liability. Interest expense is included within net finance costs in the income statement. Lease payments comprise fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments such as service charges and variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the minimum index or rate at inception date. The payments also include any lease incentives and any penalty payments for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising that option. The lease term determined comprises the non-cancellable period of the lease contract. Periods covered by an option to extend the lease are included if the LLP has reasonable certainty that the option will be exercised, and periods covered by an option to terminate are included if it is reasonably certain that this will not

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
The LLP participates in a number of defined contribution schemes and contributions are charged to the income statement in the year in which they are due. These schemes are funded and the payment of contributions is made to separately administered trust funds. The assets of these schemes are held separately from the LLP. The LLP remits monthly pension contributions under a TSA Agreement, which pays the Group liability centrally. Any unpaid contributions at the year end have been accrued in the accounts.
A division of profits is the mechanism by which the profits of an LLP become a debt due to members. A division may be automatic or discretionary, may relate to some or all of the profits for a financial period and may take place during or after the end of a financial period.
An automatic division of profits is one where the LLP does not have an unconditional right to avoid making a division of an amount of profits based on the members' agreement in force at the time, whereas a discretionary division of profits requires a decision to be made by the LLP, which it has the unconditional right to avoid making.
The LLP divides profits automatically. Automatic divisions of profits are recognised as 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense in the Statement of comprehensive income.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Members' participation rights are the rights of a member against the LLP that arise under the members' agreement (example, in respect of amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed remuneration and profits).
Members' participation rights in the earnings or assets of the LLP are analysed between those that are, from the LLPs perspective, either a financial liability or equity. A member's participation rights including amounts subscribed or otherwise contributed by members, for example members' capital, are classified as liabilities unless the LLP has an unconditional right to refuse payment to members, in which case they are classified as equity. All amounts due to members that are classified as liabilities are presented within 'Loans and other debts due to members' and, where such an amount relates to current year profits, they are recognised within 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense' in arriving at the relevant year's result. Undivided amounts that are classified as equity are shown within 'Members' other interests' Amounts recoverable from members are presented as debtors and shown as amounts due from members within members' interests. Where there exists an asset and liability component in respect of an individual member's participation rights, they are presented on a gross basis unless the LLP has both a legally and enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts, and it intends either to settle on a net basis or to settle and realise these amounts simultaneously, in which case they are presented net. Where members incur expenses on behalf of the LLP and then recharge those expenses to the LLP at cost, the costs are treated as administrative expenses and, if applicable, capitalised as work in progress. The recharged costs do not fall to be treated by the LLP as 'members' remuneration charged as an expense'. This accounting policy represents departure from the SORP, which sets out the accounting principles of classifying amounts paid to members as 'members' remuneration charged as an expense'. The members consider that this accounting policy adopted represents the substance of the underlying transaction and is necessary in order that the financial statements give a true and fair view. The profit and losses due to or from members, which have not been allocated until after the balance sheet date, are treated in these financial statements as unallocated at the balance sheet date and included within other reserves. In accordance with the members' agreement, there is no requirement for the members to make good any losses or negative balances on 'other reserves'.
In accordance with the rules established by the Financial Conduct Authority the company holds all client funds in segregated statutory trust client bank accounts. These client bank accounts comprise of cash collected on behalf of clients and the Company does not have any rights over these balances.
