STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
The director presents his report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024.
In 2024 the business had experienced growth comparing to the year 2023. Sales had been by 16.6% higher than in previous year, mainly due to increase of sales volumes to some of the key customers.
Business is well positioned, continuing growth is expected in 2024 and further.
The Company's operations expose it to a number of financial risks which include interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk. The Company has a rigorous approach to risk management to ensure that any consecutive adverse effects of the financial performance are minimized. Further details of the Company's financial risk management activities are detailed below.
Credit risk The Company has implemented policies that require appropriate credit checks on potential customers before sales are made. Consequently, the amount of exposure to any individual debtor is subject to a limit which is regularly reassessed. Liquidity risk The Company's policy is to regularly monitor its liquidity levels, to ensure that it maintains sufficient reserves of cash to meet its liquidity needs in the short and longer term.
The business is measured against a range of KPIs, financial and non-financial. The financial KPIs are an indication of the overall performance of the Company, while non-financial KPIs allow the senior management team to understand the drivers of overall performance. In terms of the main financial KPIs, there are three:
1.Revenue growth. This measures revenue performance and is monitored against agreed budgets and targets and also prior periods. 2024 revenue was 27,740,039 GBP and 2023 revenue was 23,777,991 GBP. 2. Gross margin. This KPI measures the profitability of trade operations and is calculated as sales revenue less other purchase related costs, as a percentage of sales revenue. In 2024 gross margin was 19.4% and in 2023 it was 22.4% for the company. 3. Net profitability. This measures the performance of the Company in terms of generating profitability and is calculated as net profit as a percentage of sales revenue. 2024 net profitability was 1%, 2023 was 5.6%.
This report was approved by the board on 24 October 2025 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ESPIRE INFOLABS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Espire Infolabs Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 March 2024, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, 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 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ESPIRE INFOLABS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
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 year 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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ESPIRE INFOLABS LIMITED (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:
Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We also considered those laws and regulations that have both a direct and non-direct impact on the financial statements. Audit procedures performed included: - Enquiring with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud. - Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations.
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.
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 an Auditors' Report 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.
