| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 30 June 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 30 June 2025. |
| PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of property developers. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| Ion Projects Limited acts as the delivery vehicle through which the Group undertakes physical development works, entering into construction contracts with third-party contractors on behalf of end users and investors. The company's role is integral to converting development projects into operational assets and ensuring that construction delivery aligns with the standards, requirements and programme obligations set by commissioning clients. |
| Following successful completions in 2021 and 2022 the company has had reduced activity but has liaised with other group members on identifying and enabling bids, which will provide future turnover as they move to the construction phase of development. |
| During the year, the company has continued to progress final matters relating to the Wolverhampton programme, including works associated with the cycle hub located between the i9 building and the railway station. The company remains engaged in supporting the close-out of outstanding obligations and ensuring that long-term operational requirements are met. |
| The company continues to monitor its cash reserves to ensure they remain sufficient for current and future operational needs. In accordance with best practice, the carrying value of Work in Progress has been reviewed, taking into account contractual status, delivery progress and events arising during the year. |
| Work in progress costs transferred from Ion Property Developments Limited continue to be amortised over the relevant contract term, with fees and overhead recovery recognised in line with the stage of completion and contractual entitlements. This ensures that income is matched appropriately to delivery activity. |
| Despite ongoing challenges within the construction sector, particularly relating to inflation, procurement processes and supply chain pressures, the company has continued to achieve stable financial results. The Directors remain confident that, as Group led projects move into construction over the coming years, the company is well positioned to deliver positive trading performance and sustainable profitability. |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 July 2024 to the date of this report. |

We are dedicated to acting ethically and with integrity in all our business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure modern slavery is not taking place anywhere in our operations. |

| 2. Our Organisation and Supply Chains |

| Our supply chains span: |
| o Design and professional consultancy services |

| o In limited instances suppliers of construction materials and products |
| We recognise that some areas of our supply chain may carry a higher risk of modern slavery, particularly where subcontracted labour or imported goods are involved. |
| 3. Risk Assessment and Due Diligence |
| We take a risk-based approach to modern slavery, focused on prevention and early identification: |
| o Risk Mapping: We assess potential exposure to modern slavery within different tiers of our supply chain, with particular scrutiny of labour practices and sourcing of raw materials. |
| o Pre-Qualification Checks: All suppliers and subcontractors are required to complete due diligence questionnaires, confirming compliance with modern slavery legislation and disclosing any relevant policies or incidents. |
| o Onboarding Controls: Where risk is identified, further investigation and contractual assurances are required prior to engagement. |
| 4. Supplier Engagement and Contractual Controls |
| We set clear expectations with our supply chain partners: |
| o Contractual Requirements: Our standard terms include obligations to comply with the Modern Slavery Act and require suppliers to cascade equivalent obligations to their own subcontractors. |
| o Ethical Procurement: We encourage sourcing from suppliers with recognised third-party certifications (e.g. FSC, BES 6001) and adherence to ethical standards. |
| o Corrective Action: In the event of suspected non-compliance, we reserve the right to investigate and take appropriate remedial or disciplinary measures, including termination of contracts. |
| 5. Training and Awareness |
| We are committed to building internal capability and awareness. |
| o Employee Training: All staff receive training on identifying the sign: of modern slavery and understanding their responsibilities in preventing it. |
| o Toolkits and Resources: We make use of sector-specific guidance such as Stronger Together, the Gangmasters and Labour Abuse Authority (GLAA), and the Supply Chain Sustainability School. |
| 6. Monitoring, Reporting and Accountability |
| We actively promote transparency and accountability: |
| o Whistleblowing Mechanism: We encourage the adoption of these mechanisms in our supply chain and have reporting channel is open to staff |
| o Incident Protocol: Any reported concerns are escalated for prompt investigation and, where necessary, reported to the Modern Slavery Helpline or relevant authorities. |
| o Performance Review: We review our processes annually, assessing the effectiveness of our controls and updating procedures accordingly. |
| 7. Governance and Continuous Improvement |
| Our modern slavery commitments are embedded within our broader governance framework: |
| o The policy is owned by the Board of Directors and reviewed annually. |
| o Risk oversight sits with senior management, who report regularly on compliance matters. |
| o We participate in industry forums and collaborate with partners to share best practice and improve collective safeguards. |

| This policy has been approved by the Board of Directors of Ion Projects Ltd and will be reviewed annually. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 30 June 2025 |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing 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 of the profit or loss of the company 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; |
| - | 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006 relating to small companies. |

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. |
