ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Introduction and Overview
Atlas Cleaning Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlas FM Group Limited. In October 2024, Atlas FM Group transitioned to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) model, marking a pivotal milestone in our journey and placing the future of the business in the hands of the people who make it what it is. Atlas Cleaning operates as one of the largest contract cleaning companies in the UK, providing national coverage with strong local presence. This structure allows us to deliver high quality, responsive and consistent services to more than 4,000 customers across over 6,500 sites. We are proud to be part of a values driven group with a clear purpose: creating happiness for ourselves and others. Employee Ownership In October 2024, Atlas FM Group became an Employee Ownership Trust. The founders transferred ownership to the employees, ensuring the long term stewardship of the business and giving every colleague a direct stake in our shared future. This move reflects our belief that sustainable success comes when the people delivering our services are trusted, empowered and rewarded. Under the EOT model, Atlas can take a genuinely long term view, focusing on culture, quality and care, rather than short term financial gain. Employee ownership is strengthening engagement, retention and pride, and we are already seeing the cultural and commercial benefits this creates. Business Review The directors are pleased to report a year of strong growth and continued progress during the period ended 31 December 2024. Turnover was £147,880,502, reflecting the strength of our customer relationships and the effectiveness of our growth strategy. Growth was achieved through all four of our strategic channels: • securing significant new contracts across multiple sectors • delivering organic growth from our existing client base • implementing annual price increases in line with National Living Wage and inflationary pressures • successfully integrating acquired businesses into the Atlas Cleaning operation These achievements demonstrate the resilience and adaptability of the business in a challenging external environment. We have maintained a strong financial position, underpinned by robust cost management and operational discipline, while continuing to invest in our people, systems and culture. The transition to employee ownership has reinforced our long term outlook and strengthened our sense of shared accountability, purpose and pride. Page 1
ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024
Financial Performance and Resilience
Turnover for the period was £147,880,502, with a gross profit of £5,090,164. This strong performance of growth reflects the combined impact of new business wins from the group, acquisitions, price uplifts and expansion of services delivered to existing clients. The company has maintained a conservative financial model, operating with minimal fixed cost commitments, disciplined working capital management and strong cash generation. We have well established processes for negotiating statutory wage uplifts, including National Living Wage and employer National Insurance changes, into client contracts, protecting the long term sustainability of the business. The directors consider turnover and gross margin to be the primary key performance indicators used to monitor the company’s performance. These are reviewed regularly alongside complementary operational measures including contract retention, client satisfaction and staff retention. Future Developments and Strategy The directors are confident about the future of Atlas Cleaning Limited and are excited by the opportunities ahead as part of the wider Atlas FM Group. Our strategy for 2025 and beyond is focused on five key areas: 1. Accelerating growth through acquisitions We have become industry leaders in our ability to identify, transact, integrate and create value, culturally and financially, from acquisitions. This capability has become a key differentiator for Atlas. We will continue to pursue strategic acquisitions where we can add scale, capability and cultural alignment. 2. Unlocking growth within our existing customer base We have built an outstanding growth plan which includes realising opportunities for additional services and sites across the 4,000 customers we currently partner with. Alongside this, we are targeting new business within our key sectors, where our reputation for quality, performance and cultural alignment continues to give us a competitive edge. 3. Embedding a culture of high performance Our focus on culture and performance is becoming a defining strength of Atlas. We have created business plans across all areas of the business that clearly define our vision, strategies and success measures to track our journey of high performance and operational excellence. In 2025, we are introducing one to one Work Chats for all management and administration roles to develop capability, support wellbeing, and drive accountability. 4. Driving progress on ESG and social impact Our ESG team continue to lead meaningful improvements, particularly in environmental and social impact. We have 45 collaborative ESG plans in place with our largest customers and have reviewed all materials and consumables to consolidate on the most environmentally supportive products. We are also working with multiple UK charities to offer employment opportunities to disadvantaged groups including people who are homeless, refugees, and those leaving the care or prison systems. 5. Investing in technology and digital capability We continue to invest in software and technology to support growth and engagement. In 2025 we will roll out our new MyAtlas App to all 14,000 employees. The app will act as an internal communications platform with built in recognition and survey tools, and will include language preferences to ensure accessibility and engagement for our diverse workforce. In addition, new finance and CRM systems will go live in 2025 to improve operational efficiency and business insight. Our focus on culture as the foundation of growth While we work with detailed budgets and forecasts internally, we do not publicly disclose financial growth targets. Our unwavering focus is on nurturing an outstanding culture, grounded in our purpose and values. We believe Page 2
ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 that when our people feel connected, trusted and supported to perform at their best, both personal development and financial growth will follow. This philosophy underpins every part of our strategy and remains central to our long term vision. Principal risks and uncertainties The directors regularly review the risks facing the business and have established systems and controls to monitor and manage these effectively. The company operates in a competitive, low margin industry and is exposed to external and operational risks. The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the company are set out below. Wage inflation and legislative change The National Living Wage has continued to rise and remains a significant cost pressure in our industry. We have robust processes to track wage movements, model their impact and engage early with clients to negotiate price adjustments. We also monitor wider legislative changes, including the forthcoming changes to employer National Insurance from April 2025, to ensure that any financial impact is anticipated and mitigated. Credit risk As a labour intensive business, maintaining strong cash flow is critical. We have a disciplined approach to credit control, supported by close collaboration between our operational and finance teams. We maintain clear credit limits, actively monitor payment terms and ensure swift action on any emerging debtor issues. Technology and cyber risk Our reliance on digital systems is increasing as we continue to invest in technology. We manage cyber risk through robust security protocols, regular system testing, staff training, and business continuity planning. We also work closely with external IT security specialists to ensure our controls remain current and effective. Competitive pricing pressure We continue to see some competitors bidding at unsustainably low prices within tender processes. While this does not align with our values or long term approach, it can create short term pricing pressure in parts of the market. We mitigate this risk by focusing on the value we deliver through quality, culture and long term partnership, which supports high client retention and reduces exposure to price led competition. Labour availability Labour availability and recruitment are not currently considered principal risks due to our low staff turnover and the high proportion of introductions and referrals from our existing colleagues.

Section 172 Statement and ESG
The directors are fully aware of their duty under section 172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act, in good faith, in a way they consider would most likely promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, while having regard to the interests of employees, customers, suppliers, the community and the environment, and the long term consequences of their decisions. This statement sets out how the board has fulfilled these responsibilities during the year ended 31 December 2024. Our People and Employee Voice Atlas Cleaning employs more than 14,000 people across the UK. In 2024 we appointed a Director of Culture and Engagement to lead our cultural journey and ensure every colleague feels connected, valued and supported. We launched Wagestream, which allows colleagues to access a portion of their earned pay, build savings and access financial wellbeing tools, helping to reduce stress and improve financial resilience. We also rolled out Work Chats across the organisation. These are structured one to one conversations between managers and their team members, powered by the OpenBlend platform, that focus on wellbeing, values and performance. They build trust, strengthen relationships and embed our culture in the pursuit of high performance. We celebrate colleagues through our Stars of Atlas recognition programme and actively track engagement through internal communications analytics and twice yearly employee Net Promoter Score surveys. In 2025 we will launch the MyAtlas app to all employees to further support engagement, recognition and communication, with language preferences to support our diverse workforce. Culture and Values Culture is our superpower. Our purpose is creating happiness for ourselves and others, and our values shape how we serve our customers and treat each other. We are implementing a Culture Belt framework to help every colleague become a Culture Black Belt, championing our values and inspiring others. Environment and Sustainability We hold ISO 14001 and ISO 27001 certifications and are proud to be Ecovadis Committed and FuturePlus Impact Certified. We track and manage our ESG progress through both Ecovadis and FuturePlus, ensuring continuous improvement and transparency. In 2024 we reviewed all materials and consumables, consolidating to the most environmentally supportive products. We have 45 collaborative ESG plans in place with our largest customers. From 2025 we will begin publishing carbon footprint data and year on year reduction targets as part of our commitment to transparent environmental reporting. Social Impact and Communities We are working with multiple UK charities to offer employment opportunities to disadvantaged groups including people who are homeless, refugees and those leaving the care or prison systems. This reflects our belief that business has a vital role to play in creating opportunities and lifting communities. Suppliers and Customers We select values aligned suppliers, build long term relationships and pay suppliers promptly. We work closely with our 4,000 customers to understand their needs, align our services and deliver consistent quality. This approach has earned us exceptional client loyalty and long standing partnerships. Governance Atlas Cleaning Limited has its own board of directors, which reports to the Atlas FM Group board. The Group board oversees strategy, risk and capital allocation across all subsidiaries, while Atlas Cleaning’s board manages operational delivery, people and customer experience. The Group board operates under the Wates Corporate Governance Principles for large private companies. An independent EOT Trustee Board holds a controlling interest in Atlas FM Group and represents the interests of all employee owners. Page 4
ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 This governance structure ensures a balance of entrepreneurial drive, cultural stewardship and financial discipline. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) The directors monitor a balanced set of financial and non-financial indicators to measure the company’s performance, ensure the delivery of its strategy and support long term decision making. Our KPI framework reflects our belief that outstanding culture drives high performance. We track progress across three core pillars, loyalty, growth and wastage avoidance, supported by a broader set of operational and cultural metrics. Loyalty • Staff retention rates • Client retention rates • Employee Net Promoter Score, measured every six months • Client Net Promoter Score, measured annually Social Value and ESG • Social value delivered using the TOMS framework • Environmental progress tracked through Ecovadis and FuturePlus • Stars of Atlas nominations Health, Safety and Wellbeing • Full health and safety reporting, including near misses and RIDDOR incidents • Work Chat participation levels Culture and Engagement • Internal communication data, including number of posts and engagement levels • Engagement with the MyAtlas app from 2025 onwards Growth • Growth from within, additional services and sites from existing customers • New business growth, including pipeline size and conversion rates • Monthly client audits, measuring service standards and overall perception Financial Performance • Results tracked at site, contract, region, sector and group level, with regular reporting on turnover, margin and profitability These KPIs are reviewed regularly by the directors and senior leadership team. They provide insight into the health and trajectory of the business, ensuring that decisions are informed by both cultural and commercial performance. Page 5

Going Concern
The directors have considered the company’s current financial position, forecasts and cash flow projections, taking into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance and the wider economic environment. The business operates within the wider Atlas FM Group, which transitioned to employee ownership in October 2024. The Group has a strong balance sheet, a diversified customer base and a proven record of delivering sustainable growth. Atlas Cleaning Limited continues to generate positive cash flows from its operations and has access to appropriate financial resources and support from the Group. The company maintains a prudent approach to cost management and does not carry significant fixed cost obligations or external borrowings. After reviewing the company’s forecasts and projections, and having made appropriate enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. This report was approved by the board on 1 October 2025 and signed on its behalf.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: ∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently; ∙make judgments 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.

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.

ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED)
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Atlas Cleaning Limited (formerly known as Atlas FM Services Limited) (the 'Company') for the period ended 31 December 2024, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Statement of financial position, the Statement of changes in equity 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 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 period 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 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.
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. Page 9
ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. 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. 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.
Opinion 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 Directors' report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and ∙the Strategic report and the Directors' report have 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 Strategic report or the Directors' report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 7, 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 is 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. Page 10
ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) (CONTINUED)
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 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 ∙the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the remuneration incentives and pressures of key management; ∙the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management. We consider the results of our enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities; ∙any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Company’s documentation of their policies and procedures relating to: °identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance; °detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; °the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations; ∙the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud. As a result of these procedures, we considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK), we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in, focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006 and relevant tax legislation. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. 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 Auditors' report. Page 11

It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3). The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.4 | Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the ability of the Company to continue its activities for the foreseeable future, being a period of not less than twelve months from the date of approval of these accounts. The Company has a net current liability position of £2,712,548, however this is due to the company investing in fixed assets with a net book value of £2,921,095 at 31 December 2024. The directors have confirmed that group companies will continue to support the Company as required to allow the Company to continue in operation. As such, the directors are satisfied that the going concern basis is appropriate for the preparation of these financial statements.
| 2.5 | Revenue
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised: Rendering of services Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied: ∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; ∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract; ∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and ∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
| 2.6 | Operating leases: the Company as lessee
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.
| 2.7 | Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Page 17
ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.7 | Tangible fixed assets (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:
|  |  |  | Plant and machinery | - | 33% |
|  |  |  | Motor vehicles | - | 25% |
|  |  |  | Fixtures and fittings | - | 25% |
|  |  |  | Office equipment | - | 25% |
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.
| 2.8 | Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
| 2.9 | Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
| 2.10 | Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
| 2.11 | Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
| 2.12 | Financial instruments
Basic financial liabilities Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual Page 18
ATLAS CLEANING LIMITED (FORMERLY KNOWN AS ATLAS FM SERVICES LIMITED) NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.12 | Financial instruments (continued)
arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities. Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. Other financial instruments Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss. Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy. Derecognition of financial liabilities Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled. Page 19

3. | Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have had to make the following judgments in applying the above accounting policies that have had the most significant effect on the amount recognised in the financial statements: 1.Determine whether there are indicators of impairment of the Company’s tangible assets. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include the economic viability and expected further financial performance of the assets. 2.Determine whether other debtors which mainly consist of amounts due from group undertakings are recoverable. 3.Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation, product life cycles and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
