The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

Catch Digital Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Avalon, 26-32 Oxford Road, Bournemouth, Dorset, United Kingdom, BH8 8EZ.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis. The directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.  However, the directors are aware of certain material uncertainties which may cause doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern

The company is a subsidiary of This is Gain Topco Limited (formerly Sideshow Topco Limited) and has entered into guarantees in relation to group borrowings as detailed in the financial commitment note. In assessing the going concern status of the company the directors have therefore considered the position of the group on 31 March 2025 together with the group results post year end and that budgeted for a period of 12 months from sign of off these accounts.  It is important to note, post year end a strategic internal reorganisation has been executed to re-charge the operational and trading results of the subsidiaries of This is Gain Global Limited (formerly Sideshow Group Limited) under a single new entity, This is Gain Ltd. This is Gain Ltd is owned 100% by This is Gain Global Limited. As a result of this change, the individual trading income and costs for the company will be re-charged to This is Gain Ltd. This restructuring is the first step towards a planned end state where This is Gain Ltd will serve as the UK's primary trading entity. Whilst this will result in minimal trading reported activity in the company, the company continues to operate as a Going concern and service its commitments and has full Group support and commitment to meet all commitments and obligations.

The Directors have therefore considered the group’s business activities, together with the factors likely to affect its future development, performance and position. The group meets its day-to-day working capital requirements through the management of its daily cashflows with the added security of having the availability of an RCF facility. The current economic conditions create uncertainty particularly over (a) the level of demand for the company’s services; (b) the technology risk; and c) competition for staff.

The group’s forecasts and projections, which have been prepared based on expected levels of performance across the group, demonstrate that the group should be able to operate within the level of its current facility and to continue to meet its obligations under its borrowing agreements. However, while the Directors believe the group covenant measures will be met at each quarter date through to September 2026, other matters such as the current economic conditions do create a material uncertainty.  The Directors feel that there is sufficient headroom within these facilities and expect any downturn in performance to be managed through close control of costs.

The Directors will continue to maintain open and transparent communications with the lenders about its performance and future borrowing needs and no matters have been drawn to its attention to suggest that continued support will not be forthcoming. The Directors also have the full support of its shareholders, which has been demonstrated with some additional group investment since the year end.

The directors therefore feel that despite the challenges of the current economic environment, they have a reasonable expectation that the company and group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, and to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due. In this regard the Directors of this company have received a letter of support from the group confirming this ongoing support for a period of 12 months from the signing of these accounts. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.

Turnover represents the value of services provided under contracts to the extent that there is a right to consideration.

Revenue from contracts for the provision of professional services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion when the stage of completion, costs incurred and costs to complete can be estimated reliably. The stage of completion is calculated by comparing costs incurred, mainly in relation to contractual hourly staff rates and materials, as a proportion of total costs. Where the outcome cannot be estimated reliably, revenue is recognised only to the extent of the expenses recognised that it is probable will be recovered.

Where a contract has only been partially completed at the balance sheet date, turnover represents the value of services provided to date based on a proportion of the total expected consideration at completion. Where payments are received in advance from customers, the amounts are recorded as deferred income and included as part of creditors due within one year.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

At each reporting period end date, the company 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).

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.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ 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.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

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, including creditors and loans from fellow group companies, 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

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 recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

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.

The tax credit represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The current tax credit is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable loss differs from net loss as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s credit for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company will be required to settle that obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the reporting end date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount expected to be required to settle the obligation is recognised at present value. When a provision is measured at present value, the unwinding of the discount is recognised as a finance cost in profit or loss in the period in which it arises.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of stock or fixed assets.

The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Rental income from operating leases is recognised on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating and arranging an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term.

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
