| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the period 31 March 2024 to 30 March 2025. |
| COMPANY |
| The company was incorporated on 11 February 2014. |
| The principal activity of the company throughout the period was that of the provision of luxury holiday villas rentals and associated services. |
| REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS |
| The directors are pleased to note that the hard work undertaken in 2024 in relation to cost control and process improvements, together with outcomes and impact of the 2024 mid-year strategic review have resulted in a significant increase in the company's gross margin and operating profits. |
| The following key developments are noted: |
| Strengthened Leadership |
| Recent key additions to our leadership team bring significant expertise from leading travel and hospitality firms. This enhanced capability strengthens our ability to drive strategic partnerships, grow commercial opportunities, and accelerate our global expansion. |
| Technology, AI & Digital Transformation |
| During the year, we completed the rebuild of our digital platform with a focus on performance, mobile optimisation, and user experience and we are currently in final testing. |
| Portfolio Expansion |
| Our curated portfolio now includes over 17,000 luxury homes across top global destinations. We continue to grow with a selective, quality-first approach, ensuring each property aligns with our brand standards in design, location, and guest experience. |
| Going concern |
| The directors are pleased to note that the changes implemented during 2024 have combined to strengthen the company's balance sheet from a net asset position at 30.3.24 of $244,816 to $827,109 at 30.3.25 and to reverse the net current liability position at 30.3.24 of $419,412 to net current assets of $158,082. The directors expect this trend to continue in 2026. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The directors continually monitor and action the principal risks and uncertainties that the business is faced with. |
| Currency risk |
| The company is exposed to transaction foreign exchange risk, which is mitigated by natural hedging using currency bank accounts. |
| Interest rate risk |
| The company finances its operations through retained profits and existing cash reserves. |
| Credit risk |
| The main financial assets of the company are cash and trade debtors. The credit risk associated with cash is limited as the banking counterparties have high credit ratings from the main global credit rating agencies. The principal credit risks arise from trade debtors which are monitored weekly for total debt levels and debt ageing. |
| Liquidity and cashflow risk |
| The company manages financial risk by ensuring sufficient liquidity and working capital is available to satisfy future requirements |

| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2025 |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| We consider that our key performance indicators are those that communicate the financial performance and strength of the company as a whole, these being turnover, gross margin and return on capital employed. |
| Turnover for the year was $25.7m (2024: $25.1m) and an operating profit of $1,438,254 (2024: $431,002).The gross margin achieved was 5.60% (2024: 4.09%). |
| The company's return on capital employed was 109.1% (2024: 58%). Return on capital employed is calculated as operating profit divided by capital employed, which constitutes total assets less current liabilities. |
| As well as financial KPIs the business also operates several non-financial KPIs including Product Availability; Delivery Lead Times; Customer Satisfaction; Employee Training and Employee Retention; and our Carbon Footprint. |
| The directors consider the business is performing well against these indicators and will continue to invest resources towards maintaining and improving performance across the entire business. |

| STRATEGIC REPORT |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 MARCH 2025 |
| STRATEGIC PLANS FOR 2026 AND BEYOND |
| The directors note the following plans and expectation for 2026 and beyond: |
| Technology, AI & Digital Transformation |
| As already noted, we have rebuilt our digital platform with a focus on performance, mobile optimisation, and user experience and we are currently in final testing. In parallel, this transformation has enabled us to deploy proprietary automation and AI tools that: |
| - Streamline property onboarding and listing creation |
| - Enhance partner connectivity and pricing automation |
| - Optimise guest communication across the customer journey |
| European Market Expansion |
| The company is expanding into key European destinations that align with our luxury brand and customer base. Our approach focuses on acquiring high-end, design-led properties in premier locations, building a portfolio that reflects the expectations of discerning travellers. |
| Growth in Trade Distribution |
| We are deepening our engagement with travel trade partners in the UK and USA through initiatives such as: |
| - A dedicated agent portal |
| - Bespoke training and familiarisation programmes |
| - Participation in major industry events |
| - Enhanced support structures for trade partners |
| - Closer business relationships with key partners, including travel agents and other suppliers |
| These initiatives are designed to position Top Villas as a preferred supplier in the luxury villa market and to improve our access to existing and new market segments. |
| Group restructure |
| Since the year end, the directors have implemented a new group structure, establishing a parent company, Top Villas Holdings Limited and a partner company, Top Villas Holidays Limited, which has been granted ABTA registration. The ultimate beneficial ownership of the group remains unchanged. |
| In conclusion, Top Villas is entering a new growth phase, underpinned by enhanced leadership, strategic investment in technology and an expanding global portfolio. With a focus on scalability, market expansion, and deeper partnerships in the travel trade sector, Top Villas is well positioned to become a leading global brand in luxury vacation rentals. |

| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 31 March 2024 to the date of this report. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the 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), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Magee Gammon Corporate Limited, 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 |
| TOP VILLAS LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Top Villas Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 March 2025 which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Statement of Cash Flows, 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 30 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. |
| 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| TOP VILLAS LIMITED |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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. |
| Based on our understanding of the company, we have considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements including management override, and considered that the principal risk was related to the posting of inappropriate journal entries to improve the result before tax for the year. |
| We designed audit procedures to respond to the risk, 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. |
| Procedures performed by the audit team included: |
| Discussions with management regarding known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations; |
| Evaluation of controls designed to prevent and detect irregularities; and |
| Assessing journal entries as part of our planned audit approach. |
| There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above, 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 would become aware of it. As in all of our audits we also addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. |
| 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. |
| 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. |

| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Patents and licences |
| Patents and licences comprise the cost of domain name rights which are being amortised over an estimated useful life of ten years. |
| Development costs |
| In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research is recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if certain criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. In this instance, development costs relate to the company's booking system. The capital development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives which range from three to six years. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Financial instruments |
| 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 Statement of Financial Position 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. |
| 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 statement of financial position date. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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. |
| Operating lease 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 company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Currency |
| The operational currency is United States Dollars ($). |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
| Investments |
| Investments in unlisted company shares and similar instruments, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income for the period,. Where market value cannot be reliably determine, such investments re stated at historic cost less impairment. |

| 10. | 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 amounts of 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 estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| Provision for cancellations |
| The company has an obligation at the year end to provide luxury holiday lettings for periods in the next financial year. On occasion these lettings may be cancelled due to an unforeseen circumstance. A provision is recognised in the financial statements, to recognise potential cancellations. This is quantified by reviewing historical data of cancelled and completed bookings to ascertain a cancellation rate. This is then applied to open bookings at the balance sheet date. In 2025 the rate applied was 2.76% in comparison to the previous year of 1.86%. |
