| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31st March 2025. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| Revenue for the year declined by 50%, and the gross profit margin reduced by 40%, reflecting the challenging market conditions faced during the period. In response, the company has initiated strategic measures to reposition itself by targeting new sectors and customers, with the objective of improving performance in the coming years. |
| Profit after taxation for the year amounted to £382,857 (2024: £211,324). The company also retained a positive combined bank balance of £320,031 (2024: £160,070). |
| The directors are satisfied with these results, achieved in an increasingly competitive industry with tough trading conditions. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The company's principal financial instruments comprise cash, short-term deposits, and trade debtors and creditors arising directly from operations. Their main purpose is to fund operations, manage working capital and liquidity, and invest surplus funds. |
| The directors continue to assess risks facing the business. Securing new contracts and maintaining existing relationships remain central to success. Other ongoing challenges, such as overhead cost control, are reviewed regularly. The board meets frequently to evaluate risk exposure and appetite. Key risks fall into the following categories: |
| Market Risk |
| The company's performance is closely linked to domestic economic conditions. The directors monitor economic trends and key customer strategic plans to respond quickly to changes in projected sales volumes, ensuring competitiveness and profitability.. |
| Competitive Risk |
| Changing customer requirements, driven by market demand, pose the main competitive risk. The company continues to invest in high-quality service and works in partnership with customers to develop procedures that meet both current and future needs. |
| Legislative Risk |
| The directors regularly review the company's exposure to legislative risk and ensure compliance with all applicable requirements. |
| Financial Instrument Risk |
| The company has established a financial risk management framework to safeguard performance objectives. The framework focuses on limiting counterparty exposure, maintaining efficient working capital, and monitoring risk management at business unit level. |
| SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT |
| n accordance with section 172 of the Companies Act 2006, the directors confirm that they have acted in a way they consider most likely to promote the long-term success of the company for the benefit of its members. |
| OUR CLIENTS |
| Delivering excellent client service remains critical to the company's success. Client satisfaction surveys, form part of the regular feedback process. The results are shared with directors, enabling service improvements ranging from refinements in the booking process to enhancements in the services offered to clients. |
| OUR SUPPLIERS |
| The product and operational teams actively manage supplier relationships to ensure high standards of service and conduct. The company benefits from access to multiple suppliers for most products and services, supporting both quality and continuity. Directors receive regular operational updates at board meetings, with significant supplier developments-such as cessation of operations escalated immediately. All key supplier contracts are reviewed annually by a director. |

| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The directors consider the continuous measurement and monitoring of performance to be a critical element of management. A range of key performance indicators (KPIs) is used to provide consistent and comprehensive insight into financial performance against defined targets. These include turnover, gross and net profit margins, and profitability ratios. |
| Performance during the year was as follows: |
| 2025 | 2024 |
| £ | £ |
| Turnover | 636 | 1,273 |
| Gross profit | 78 | 128 |
| Gross profit margin | 12% | 10% |
| Operating profit | 519 | 279 |
| Profit for the year | 383 | 211 |
| Other KPIs monitored include average salary levels, EBITDA, and performance against budget and prior year. The directors are satisfied with KPI outcomes for the year and remain confident in maintaining performance levels in the foreseeable future. |
| FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS |
| The directors expect the trading environment to remain competitive. However, they believe the company is in a strong financial position, with risks well managed. By focusing on diversification, developing new products, and monitoring market conditions and competitor activity, the directors are confident in the company's ability to sustain and build upon its current position, while maintaining cautious growth expectations. |

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. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| 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. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, PSJ Alexander & Co, 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 |
| PRINTCARE UNIVERSAL UK LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Printcare Universal Uk Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31st March 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the 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 company's affairs as at 31st March 2025 and of its profit 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 company 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 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 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 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 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 |
| PRINTCARE UNIVERSAL UK LIMITED |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the 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; or |
| - | the directors were not entitled to take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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 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: |
| - | we reviewed the financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with provisions of relevant laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the financial statements; |
| - | we enquired with the management team concerning actual and potential litigation and claims; |
| - | we performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that may indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud; |
| - | we read minutes of meetings of those charged with governance; |
| - | we obtained an understanding of any provisions and held discussions with management to understand the basis of recognition or non-recognition of tax provisions/assets; and |
| - | we addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and other adjustments; assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates are indicative of a potential bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business. |
| Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that 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, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. |
| 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 |
| PRINTCARE UNIVERSAL UK 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 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Printcare Universal Uk Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| 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" and the Companies Act 2006. Thefinancial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £1. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the application of the Company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in theperiod of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| Key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows. |
| Stock provisioning |
| The company sells packaging materials which is subject to changing consumer demands and technological advancements. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of the stock and the associated provisioning required. When calculating the provision, management considers the nature and age of the stock as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability of stock. |
| Tangible assets |
| The directors determine whether there are indicators of impairment on the company's tangible assets. In particular since depreciation is not charged on freehold land and buildings the directors assess whether there are indicators of impairment on the freehold land and buildings that would result in a change in the estimate of the residual value of the assets, depreciation method or useful life. Factors taken into consideration in reaching such a decision include changes in market prices and expected future financial performance of the asset. |
| Impairment of debtors |
| The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the aging profile of debtors, whether covered by insurance and historical experience. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably. This is usually on dispatch of the goods. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| 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: |
| Computer equipment - 25% on reducing balance |
| The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an assets 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. |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing stock to its present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the first-in, first out formula. Provision is made for damaged, obsolete and slow-moving stock where appropriate. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, 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. |

| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31ST MARCH 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Financial instruments |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand and all deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to and insignificant risk of change in value. |
| Foreign currency transactions and balances |
| Transactions in foreign currency are initially recorded at the functional currency rate prevailing at the date of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated into the respective financial currency of the entity at the rate prevailing on the reporting period date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the initial transaction dates. Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. |
| Trade debtors |
| Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables. |
| Trade creditors |
| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payables are classified as current liabilities of the company does not have an unconditional right at the end of the reporting period to refer settlements of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlements for at least twelve months after the reporting date they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Employee benefits |
| When employees have rendered service to the company, short-term employee benefits to which the employees are entitled are recognised at the undiscounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for that service. |
| Impairment |
| Assets not measured at fair value are reviewed for any indication that the asset may be impaired at each balance sheet date. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, or the asset's cash generating unit, is estimated and compared to the carrying amount. Where the carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount where the impairment loss is a revaluation decrease. |
| Provision |
| Provisions are recognised when the company has an obligation at the balance sheet date as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount can be reliably estimated. |
| Loans and borrowings |
| Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value. |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
