| Notes to the Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 31 January 2025 |
| 1. | Statutory information |
| Broker Insights Limited is a |
| 2. | Statement of compliance |
| 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. |
| 3. | Accounting policies |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The company and its subsidiaries comprise a small group. The company has therefore taken advantage of Section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 not to prepare group accounts. |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Directors have undertaken a detailed assessment of the Company's current and projected financial position, including cash flow forecasts extending to January 2027, which form part of the wider break-even plan for the business. |
| In October 2025, the Company successfully completed a share issue raising £2 million. The phasing of this share issue guarantees the full receipt of funds before the end of December 2025. |
| Based on the current forecasts, the Company has sufficient financial resources to continue operations for the foreseeable future. |
| Under severe but plausible downside scenario, further funding (in addition to the assumed in the base case) may be required within 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements which has yet to be sourced or secured. Consistent with the Company's strategic plan, unique product, and position within an expanding market, the Directors are confident that such funding would be available from existing investors and/or through an external fundraising exercise. |
| Having considered these factors and assumptions, the Directors believe it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. However, the events and conditions described above indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern. |

| 3. | Accounting policies - continued |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There are not considered to be any critical judgements in applying the company's accounting policies. The company makes estimates assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below. |
| Amounts due from group undertaking |
| There is a balance due from group undertakings of £1,978,340 (2024 : £1,210,571). The loan has been provided as start up funding and recoverability has been assessed by reference to forecasts and business plans. The loan is repayable on demand, however the balance has been shown as due over one year to reflect the substance of the transaction. It was concluded that a provision against this balance is not required. |
| Convertible loan notes |
| There was a receipt in the year of £3,850,000 related to the issue of a convertibles loan note instrument. The convertible loan notes are allocated between non-current liabilities and reserves by using borrowing rate deemed appropriate for the entity and for the type of instrument. The instrument has been accounted for as a non-current other loan of £3,443,760 and other reserves of £406,240. The non-current other loans are £3,507,187 as at 31 January 2025 following interest charges. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the rendering of services and from software platform fees. Turnover is reduced for estimated discounts, rebates and other similar allowances. |
| Rendering of services |
| Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the services provided in the period being reported on.The turnover recognised is in line with the rates as per the underlying contracts. |
| Software platform fees |
| Fees for the use of the Broker Insights software platform are recognised over the period of the software access licence. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases: |
| Motor Vehicles 15% straight line |
| Computer Equipment 3 years |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |

| Financial instruments |
| (i) Financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| There are no assets which are initially measured at fair value. |
| (ii) Financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors, bank loans, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, 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. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Other income |
| Other income is recognised on an accruals basis. |
| Share based payments |
| The company operates a share-based payment scheme. Where share-based payments are granted and are considered immaterial to the financial statements, no expense is recognised. Material share-based payments are accounted for in accordance with Section 26 of FRS102, with the fair value of the award recognised over the vesting period as an expense with a corresponding increase in equity. |

| 18. | Post balance sheet events |
| In April 2025, the Company issued Convertible Loan Notes (CLNs) totalling £2,300,000 to certain existing shareholders to provide funding for ongoing and growth activities. |
| In October 2025, the Company successfully completed a share issue raising £2,000,000 from its existing shareholders. The investment was made in exchange for the issue of new B Ordinary Shares, with full proceeds contractually committed and expected to be received before 31 December 2025. |
| As part of the same transaction, the Company's two outstanding Convertible Loan Notes (CLNs), together with accrued interest to the date of conversion, will convert into B1 and B2 Ordinary Shares in accordance with the terms of the respective loan agreements. |
| These transactions have strengthened the Company's capital base and provide additional funding to support its operational and growth plans. As the share issue and conversions occurred after the balance sheet date, they are treated as non-adjusting events for the purpose of these financial statements. |
