| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 30 September 2024 |
| The Board present the Strategic Report for the Year Ended 30 September 2024. |
| This strategic report has been prepared for the group as a whole and therefore gives greater emphasis to those matters which are significant to Tapa Holdings Limited and its subsidiary undertakings when viewed as a whole. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| For the year ended 30 September 2024, the Group undertook a period of rationalisation to focus resources on its key brands. The Group's portfolio continues to provide a balance between new sectors demonstrating growth potential and more mature markets where opportunities arise on a selective basis. This diversified approach remains an important element of the Group's strategy to mitigate exposure to individual market fluctuations. |
| The Board closely monitored the cost base and gross margins of the underlying businesses. Gross Profit margins remained stable year-on-year at 29.5%, reflecting effective cost management and pricing discipline. During the year, the Group implemented a restructure designed to streamline operations and strengthen the focus on core brands. This resulted in the disposal of intangible assets, increasing administrative expenses in the period. Notwithstanding this impact, the underlying trading performance of the Group remains solid. The Group maintains a positive balance sheet position and the Directors consider the business well placed to continue as a going concern. |
| Sustainability remains a key area of focus. The Group achieved a 20% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with the prior year and obtained ISO 14001 accreditation. These initiatives demonstrate the Group's commitment to environmental responsibility, efficient resource consumption and the delivery of long-term value for stakeholders. |
| The Board monitors the group's performance through the use of a variety of measurements, both financial and non-financial in order to maintain effective control over the business. The most important of these are known as key performance indicators (KPIs). The main financial KPIs that the company monitors are turnover, gross profit and gross margin % and these are set out below. |
| 2024 | 2023 | 2022 |
| Turnover | £ 44,144,397 | £62,081,845 | £ 60,374,557 |
| Turnover movement | (£ 17,937,448) | £ 1,707,288 | £ 15,233,367 |
| Gross profit margin | 29.53% | 29.61% | 30.73% |
| Profit before tax | -31.19% | 12.66% | 12.93% |
| The turnover of the Group decreased by 28.9% year on year, amounting to £ 44,144,397 (2023: increased by 2.83% to £62,081,845). |

| Group Strategic Report |

| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The Board continues to take a prudent approach to risk management and financial stability, balancing disciplined investment with opportunities for sustainable growth. |
| The Group benefits from a diversified portfolio across multiple markets and brands, which provides resilience by: |
| - Capitalising on growth opportunities in markets and segments demonstrating strong performance. |
| - Mitigating exposure to downturns in specific sectors by leveraging strength in others. |
| -Enhancing long-term stability through a balanced operational and financial mix. |
| As a provider of workforce solutions, the Group is inherently sensitive to changes in government policy and broader macroeconomic factors beyond its direct control. During the year, a change in government introduced a period of transitional uncertainty in the markets in which we operate. However, the Group is well positioned to adapt to these developments. Regulatory reforms, fiscal measures, and shifts in economic conditions, while cyclical in nature, often create opportunities alongside challenges. The Group's diversified market presence ensures that we are among the first to respond to both the pressures of downturns and the early momentum of recovery. This agility, supported by a flexible cost base and the ability to adjust headcount and overheads swiftly, provides resilience and positions the Group to capture growth opportunities as new policies take effect. |
| Operational and Compliance Risk |
| The Group places significant emphasis on maintaining its strong reputation through rigorous compliance standards. Retention of a highly trained candidate pool and continuous investment in compliance training, ISO certification, and CQC regulations underpin our credibility with clients. These measures ensure that service quality, trust, and operational integrity remain at the highest levels. Continued investment in technology improvements and internal process enhancements, linked to research and development activities during the year, has contributed to greater efficiency and helped address operational risks. These targeted measures ensure that service quality and operational integrity consistently remain at the highest levels. |
| Financial Risk |
| - Credit Risk: The Group's principal financial assets are trade and intercompany debtors. Exposure is widely spread across a large number of customers, with no significant concentration risk. Weekly reporting on aged debt and ledger profiles is supported by a strong credit control function, resulting in minimal bad debts. |
| - Liquidity Risk: The Group secures funding continuity through invoice discounting facilities. |
| SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
| The Board takes its responsibilities seriously and holds regular monthly meetings to review all areas of the business. Our primary focus is on setting the strategic direction of the Group to maximise long-term returns on capital, while ensuring we continue to provide the highest quality services to our clients. We are committed to maintaining a well-rewarded and motivated workforce, with the flexibility to expand headcount as growth opportunities arise, and to supporting our local communities by hiring locally wherever possible. |
| We also review all support functions to ensure suppliers are paid promptly and that we achieve the best possible value for money. In every decision, the Board considers the long-term impact on all stakeholders and acts in the best interests of clients, employees, shareholders, suppliers, and the communities in which we operate. The Group actively participates in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, embedding sustainability, responsible practices, and community engagement into our operations. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 30 September 2024 |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, 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; |
| - | state whether applicable 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 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 or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Bryden Johnson Limited, were appointed during the year and will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Tapa Holdings Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Tapa Holdings Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 September 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 30 September 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 Group Strategic Report and 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Tapa Holdings Limited |
| 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 Group Strategic Report or 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. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page seven, 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: |
| Based on our understanding of the group and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to UK taxation, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to management override of controls. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included: |
| - Reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
| - Enquiry of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; |
| - Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and |
| - Auditing the risk of management override of controls, including through testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness and testing accounting estimates (because of the risk of management bias). |
| There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentation, or through collusion. |
| 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 |
| Tapa Holdings 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. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 30 September 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Tapa Holdings Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Going concern |
| The group has the ongoing support of its holding company and other group companies and has continued to be profitable since the year end. The directors believe that the group is able to meet its working capital requirements for a period of at least one year from the approval of these accounts. They therefore consider the group to be a going concern and have prepared accounts on this basis. |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Group and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as they formed a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full. |
| The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of the business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. |
| All financial statements are made up to 30 September 2024. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the group. |
| All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. |

| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| All revenue is recognised in the Financial Statements as soon as the service has been supplied to the customer. |
| Goodwill |
| Goodwill represents the difference between the amounts paid on the cost of a business combination, and the acquirer's interest in the fair value of the Group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, the carrying value of Goodwill in the financial statements is assessed by the directors and an appropriate provision for amortisation is made. |
| Goodwill relates to the amount paid in connection with the acquisition of businesses in 2019. The valuation of goodwill is assessed by the directors either annually or when a triggering event occurs which causes the value of goodwill to drop below the carrying value. Such triggering events will include adverse changes to the market in which the companies operate, increased competition, changes to the laws governing the market, changes to key personnel, declining cash flows, and conditions where the current assets owned by the company show a decline in value. |
| The directors review the profitability of each company within the group to establish if any impairments to the |
| value of goodwill exist, with reference to management's experience in the sector and market trends. The credit profiles of customers are also assessed, as well as benchmark information on the companies' competitors and the prospects for the wider economy. Future trading forecasts for each company are also considered. After considering all of these factors, a decision is made by the directors as to whether an impairment to the carrying value of goodwill has arisen and a provision is made as necessary. |
| Intangible assets and goodwill |
| 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 |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Impairment of fixed assets |
| At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. |
| The carrying amount of the investments accounted for using the equity method is tested for impairment as a single asset. |

| Financial instruments |
| The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
| Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities. |
| Basic financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction cost. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
| Classification of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual |
| arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and loans are initially recognised at transaction price. Financial |
| liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of |
| business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at transaction price. |
| Equity instruments |
| Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company. |
| 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 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. |
| 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 group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |

| Prior year adjustment |
| As part of a compliance review the legal status of the un redeemable preference shares, which have previously been deemed as debt, have now been correctly re classified as Equity . The prior year's accounts have also been restated as a result of consolidating an overseas subsidiary previously accounted for as a current asset investment. |
| The effects of the restatement on the prior year's accounts are as follows: |
| Increase in group sales | 6,547,474 |
| Increase in group gross profit | 1,742,972 |
| Increase in group net profit before tax | 2,005,661 |
| Increase in group net assets | 17,715,492 |
| Invoice discounting |
| Some companies within the group use an invoice discounting service. As and when loans are drawn dow, these amounts are secured on the trade debtors. Discounting charges and interest are charged to the profit and loss account to reflect the cost of borrowing. |
| 3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
| Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical evidence and other factors, |
| including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Although these estimates are based on management's best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ from those estimates. |
| In preparing these financial statements, the directors have had to make the following judgements: |
| - Determine whether there are indicators of impairment to the group's tangible assets. Factors taken into |
| consideration in reaching such a decision include economic viability and expected future financial performance of the asset. |
| 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 a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation and maintenance are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values. |
| - Determine whether there are indicators of impairment to the group's intangible fixed assets. |
| Goodwill which arose on the acquisition of subsidiary companies is reviewed by the directors based on the |
| current and expected performance of each company within the Group. Based on this assessment, and an assessment of the company and its subsidiaries in the wider market, an appropriate provision is made against the carrying value of Goodwill in the accounts. |
