GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
The principal activities of the Group are the design, manufacture and sale of footwear, outdoor accessories, and workwear.
During the period the Group saw turnover and gross profit increase. These movements were principally the result of an increase in trading activity and movements in currency exchange rates. The Group continued with its strategic move away from low margin/high volume sales and continued to develop new markets and new products. The Group continues to adopt this approach in an attempt to grow its turnover and maintain its gross profit going forward.
Competitive risk
The Group's core markets remain highly competitive. It is difficult to see any improvement in the Group's trading conditions in its largest single market, the UK, in the current period. The Group continues to face price pressures from both customers and suppliers. This means that the Group is likely to continue to face competitive pressures for some time to come. Legislative risk The Group holds a number of licences with a number of different licensors. The Group takes care so as to ensure that it is able to meet the requirements of these licences such that it is not in breach of them. Any loss of these licences would have a significant impact upon the Group's ability to generate income. The Group is governed by a wide range of other legislation. The Group takes great care to keep up to date with all new legislation and regulations to ensure that it can maintain its position within the industry. Financial risk The Group's main area of financial risk is foreign currency risk. It also faces credit and liquidity risk. The Group makes the majority of its purchases in US dollars while a significant proportion of its sales are in sterling. A strengthening US dollar therefore leads to an erosion in the Group's profit margins. The Group aims to mitigate foreign currency risk by holding sufficient US dollars to meet its day to day needs and by growing sales in dollars. The Group's policy is to minimise credit risk by ensuring that credit terms are only granted to customers who demonstrate an appropriate history and credit position. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities. The Group aims to mitigate liquidity risk by managing cash generation from its activities on a regular basis. Due to a number of factors the Group continues to face a challenging trading environment at the year end, but it believes it has sufficient resources to meet these challenges.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
This statement sets out how the director has met his responsibilities under section 172 Companies Act 2006. The director believes, in good faith, that he has acted in a way that has promoted the success of the Group as a whole.
Long-term consequences of decisions The director has consistently managed the strategy of the business with a view to long-term financial stability and sustainable growth. This is evidenced by the strength of the Group's own brands, the strength of the brands that the Group partners with via licencing agreements, and the positive financial position of the Group at the year end. Employees and culture The director supports internal employee development across the Group and a strong culture ensures that all employees are engaged and actively contribute to the Group's long-term success. Business relationships The director actively seeks to establish and maintain long-term relationships with suppliers, customers and licence holders that are both financially and non-financially mutually beneficial to all parties involved. This is evidenced by the maintenance of licence agreements with licence holders for more than 15 years. Community and environmental impact The director works with appropriate stakeholders where necessary to ensure the business complies with any local requirements around community engagement and environmental standards. Business conduct The director sets high expectations on business conduct and must continuously meet these standards to protect the Group's key stakeholder relationships, including key suppliers, customers and licence holders. Acting in a manner which is fair to all members of the Company The director is also a member of the Company and is committed to treating all members fairly.
The Company's energy usage was less than 40,000 kWh during the period, therefore the Company is exempt from the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting regulations.
This report was approved by the board on 23 December 2025 and signed on its behalf.

DRAGONFLY VENTURE GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DRAGONFLY VENTURE GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Dragonfly Venture Group Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Analysis of Net Debt, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Company Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company 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 director's 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 or 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

DRAGONFLY VENTURE GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DRAGONFLY VENTURE GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The director is 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 Group Strategic Report and the Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group Strategic Report and the Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Director's Report.

DRAGONFLY VENTURE GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DRAGONFLY VENTURE GROUP 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 Group 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:
• the engagement director ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; • we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Group through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the sector in which the Group operates; • we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Group, including the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation; • we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and • we ensured that the identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the Group’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: - • making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud and their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and • considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

DRAGONFLY VENTURE GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DRAGONFLY VENTURE GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: -
• performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; • tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; and • assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: - • agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; • reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; • enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and • reviewing correspondence with HMRC, and the Group’s legal advisers where appropriate. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be more difficult to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or 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 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Dragonfly Venture Group Limited (Company no: 07746818) is a private company limited by shares, which is incorporated and registered in England and Wales. The Company and Group's principal place of business is 3A Holywell Hill, St Albans, Hertfordshire, AL1 1ER.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the Company and the Group. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of 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. In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the Group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 01 April 2014.
The Group meets its working capital requirements through its own cash reserves and it has no external debt.
A review of the Group's business activities is provided within the strategic report. In addition, the strategic report also discloses the Group's principal risks and uncertainties, including exposures to competitive, legislative and financial risk. Having regard to the above, the director believes it appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Basic 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 Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
The Group makes allowances for doubtful debts based on an assessment of the recoverability of debtors. Allowances are applied to debtors where events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be wholly recoverable. Management specifically analyses historical bad debts and current trading trends when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of any bad debt provision.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the Group's principal activities, that of design, manufacture and sale of footwear, accessories and workwear.
