GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

Introduction

The directors present their strategic report of the Company (Next Generation Travel Limited) and the Group (Next Generation Travel Limited and its subsidiaries) for the year ended 31 July 2025.

Business review

The Group is required by the Companies Act 2006 to set out in this report, a fair review of the business of the Group and the Company during the financial year ended 31 July 2025, the position of the Group and the Company at the end of the period and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group. This review is prepared solely to provide additional information to shareholders to assess the Group's strategies and the potential for those strategies to succeed, and the business review should not be relied upon by any other party or for any other purpose.

The Group is pleased to report an exceptional year of growth across all brands. Our EBITDA targets for the year were exceeded and we ended with an improvement of £1.2m year-on-year.

Wages and salaries were lower year-on-year, as a result of the efficiencies starting to come through from improved processes and previous investment in people, training and systems.

Operational issues have continued to reduce year-on-year as our supplier relationships and service level agreements mature through delivering our clear purchasing strategy. Customer service levels have remained very high with improved NPS scores across all brands.

Investment in IT has continued and we have a clear road map of future developments to ensure we continue to deliver excellent service levels and a robust and scalable infrastructure to support growth plans.

The key performance indicators used by the directors to monitor the progress of the Group are set out below:-

		2025	2024
		£	£

Turnover	30,663,879	29,541,180
Gross profit	7,038,562	5,966,407
Gross profit as a percentage of turnover	22.95%	20.18%
Profit on ordinary activities before taxation	1,436,837	148,924
Profit on ordinary activities before taxation as a percentage of turnover	4.69%	0.50%

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

Principal risks and uncertainties

The following risk factors may affect the Group's operating results and its financial position. The risk factors described below are those which the directors believe are potentially significant but should not be regarded as a complete and comprehensive statement of all potential risk and uncertainties facing the Group.

Economic risk
The demand for educational tours is somewhat affected by local economic conditions. During 2025, rising costs across the economy have provided further challenges, however this has been compensated by the strong desire of teachers and parents to ensure students do not miss out on trips linked to the curriculum and by groups moving away from their previous tour operator due to poor service.

Regulatory risk
The Group is exposed to various regulators, including the Civil Aviation Authority ("CAA"), which issues an Air Travel Organisers Licence ("ATOL"), which is required in order for the Group to operate. This licence is renewed in March each year and is subject to assessments of fitness and financial criteria, the framework of which is available on the CAA website (www.caa.co.uk).

Market risk
The Group operates in a highly competitive market featuring innovation in travel products and the methods by which it is marketed, as well as price pressures. The Group seeks to constantly invest in its brands to increase public awareness, as well as offer a wide selection of products from a wide range of suppliers at competitive prices, to maintain its market position at the same time as continuing to deliver exceptional customer service. The Group also monitors competitor activity closely.

Finance risk
The Group is naturally exposed to foreign exchange rate risk when it purchases overseas services in currencies other than British Pounds. All exchange gains and losses so arising are taken to the income statement once realised. The Group strategy is to hedge against the majority of this risk and for any element not hedged, the Group bears the risk associated with such foreign exchange movements.

Commercial relationships
The Group has well established and close relationships with both customers and suppliers and risk is spread by not placing over-reliance on any one supplier in any specific destination. The management team liaises regularly with suppliers to maintain good working relationships and to understand the supplier's financial position.

System risk
The Group is heavily reliant on the uninterrupted operation of its IT systems and website. These systems are vulnerable to power loss, fire, computer viruses and other events. Loss of these systems would impair the ability of the Group to carry on its business effectively. The Group has made arrangements to mitigate this risk.

Principal risks and uncertainties (continued)

Commercial risk
The nature of the business exposes the Group to various commercial risks which may affect the trading performance of the Group, but all foreseeable potential risks are considered on an ongoing basis by the Board.

These factors may affect the Group by causing potential customers to cancel or postpone travel plans, reducing the earnings potential of the Group. The Group seeks to minimise such risks by operating a flexible limited commitment business model with the ability to shift capacity amongst a variety of destinations where necessary.

This report was approved by the board on 25 November 2025 and signed on its behalf.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2025

The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025.

Directors' responsibilities statement

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period.

In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:

∙select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently;

∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group 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 the Group and to 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 the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the Group's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements and other information included in Directors' Reports may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

Principal activity

The principal activity of the Group in the year under review was that of travel tour operators.

The Company's principal activity in the year was that of acting as a group holding company. It is the Company's subsidiaries which trade and operate as travel tour operators.

Results and dividends

The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £1,001,369 (2024 - £25,480).

The directors do not recommend a final dividend for the year ended 31 July 2025.

The total distribution of dividends for the year ended 31 July 2025 was £Nil (2024 - £Nil).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEXT GENERATION TRAVEL LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Next Generation Travel Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 July 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Analysis of Net Debt, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, 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 our opinion the financial statements:

∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the Parent Company's affairs as at 31 July 2025 and of the Group's 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 Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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 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 directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEXT GENERATION TRAVEL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are 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.

Opinion 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 Group Strategic Report and the Directors' 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 Directors' Report 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 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 Directors' Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

∙adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or

∙the Parent Company 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEXT GENERATION TRAVEL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, 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 is 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 Group's and the Parent 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 Group or the Parent 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 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:

- We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit;

- We identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the deliberate override of internal control;

- We obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control;

- We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made;

- We assess the risk of management override of controls, including testing journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, and evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business;

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF NEXT GENERATION TRAVEL LIMITED (CONTINUED)

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements (continued)

- We review the scope of the Group's compliance with The Package and Linked Travel Arrangements Regulations 2018 (“PTRs”) and sample test relevant documentation to assess this and the effectiveness of its control environment;

- We request and review the minutes of management meetings, and assess any matters identified not already provided for or disclosed that may materially impact the financial statements;

- We review the Group's relationships with related parties, identifying and disclosing transactions during the year and balances at year-end with such parties;

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.

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 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 JULY 2025

1.	General information

As disclosed in the Directors' Report, the principal activity of the Group in the year under review continued to be that of travel tour operators.

The Company's principal activity in the year was that of acting as a group holding company. It is the Company's subsidiaries which trade and operate as travel tour operators.

The Company is a private company limited by shares and is incorporated in England. The address of the company's principal place of business, being the same as the registered office stated on the Company Information page, is:

Chiltern House
181 Bristol Avenue
Blackpool
Lancashire
FY2 0FP

2.Accounting policies

2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

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 judgment 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 Company has also taken advantage of the exemption allowed under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102 and has not presented its own Statement of Cash Flows in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

2.2

Basis of consolidation

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 Statement of Financial Position, 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.

2.3

Going concern

The Group has continued to see a recovery in trade over recent years, despite rising costs of living and regional wars around the globe, which impacted demand and disposable incomes for some consumers. Despite this, the Group has continued to see improvements in revenue, margins and profits for the year. This, combined with strong forward bookings at year-end, gives the Group confidence that business will continue to grow in coming years.

Group management and the directors continue to constantly review the Group’s financial position as well as forecasts, and plan mitigation actions in order to protect against any potential future downturns in trading. This work has also enabled them to assess and plan for the potential impact of any capital requirements that might be required by the Group's travel regulators. The Directors also continue to monitor requirements in respect of debt service and covenants and have obtained confirmation of the support of their bankers for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of the financial statements.

The directors have continued to review forecasts which extend until 31 December 2026. These forecasts include assumptions in respect of passenger numbers and have been stress tested across a number of scenarios. The outcome of the testing of these forecasts shows that sufficient resources are expected to be in place to allow the Group to meet obligations as they fall due.

Notwithstanding this, and despite all of the cost mitigation actions undertaken along with an increase in bookings seen since the relaxation of overseas travel restrictions, some uncertainty does remain regarding the quantum and timing of future revenue and cash flows which could have an impact on future covenant compliance and regulatory capital requirements. The directors have therefore obtained a letter of support from the Group's main shareholder which confirms that support will be extended to the business, if required, to allow it to continue as a going concern. The director’s have satisfied themselves that the main shareholder has the resources available to provide the level of support that would be expected in a reasonable worst case scenario.

Based on the above and the sensitised forecasts and budgets, Group management and the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being at least the following 12 months from the signing of these financial statements.

In light of the above, the directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

2.5

Turnover

Turnover represents amounts receivable for services net of VAT and trade discounts.

Turnover from the provision of services is recognised when the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer. The risks and rewards of ownership of services are deemed to have been transferred when the services have been provided to the customer which is generally on day of departure.

Unearned revenue received in advance of departure is held as a liability on the statement of financial position.

Trade debtors still represent gross amounts receivable and trade creditors still represent gross amounts payable in respect of travel and holiday arrangements.

2.6

Operating leases: the Group as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

2.7

Research and development

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 shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred.

Identifiable development expenditure is capitalised to the extent that the technical, commercial and financial feasibility can be demonstrated.

The company has capitalised development expenditure as an intangible asset as it is able to demonstrate all of the following:

(a) The technical feasibility of completing the development so the intangible asset will be available for use or sale.
(b) Its intention to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
(c) Its ability to use or sell the intangible asset.
(d) How the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits.
(e) The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset.
(f) Its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Furthermore, as the development costs capitalised under this policy are expected to produce future economic benefits the amortisation of such costs will be treated as a realised loss in accordance with section 844 of Companies Act 2006 rather than the initial expenditure.

If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.

2.8

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

2.9

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.

2.10

Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognised in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.

2.11

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

2.12

Share-based payments

Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each reporting date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.

The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Group keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).

Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.

2.13

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:

∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and

∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.14

Intangible assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the Group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over its useful economic life of 10 to 20 years.

Other intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

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:

Computer software	-	33.33% on a straight line basis
Development expenditure	-	20% on a straight line basis
Brands	-	6.67% on a straight line basis
Customer contracts	-	5% on a straight line basis

2.15

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

2.15

Tangible fixed assets (continued)

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:

Short-term leasehold property	-	Over the life of the lease
Fixtures and fittings	-	20% on a straight line basis
Office equipment	-	20% on a straight line basis
Computer equipment	-	33.33% on a straight line 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.

2.16

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

2.17

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.

2.18

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.

In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.

2.19

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

2.20

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.

Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.

Deferred tax liabilities are also presented within provisions but are measured in accordance with the accounting policy on taxation.

Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.

2.21

Financial instruments

The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

The Group has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Statement of Financial Position when the Group 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

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.

Financial instruments (continued)

Impairment of financial assets

At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.

If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

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. 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.

Financial instruments (continued)

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. The Group applies hedge accounting for foreign exchange derivatives.

The Group designates certain derivaties as either:
- Hedges of the fair value of recognised assets or liabilities or a firm commitment (fair value hedge);
- Hedges of a particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast transaction (cash flow hedge); or
- Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation (net investment hedge).

The Group documents at the inception of the transaction the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedging transactions. The Group also documents its assessment, both at hedge inception and on an ongoing basis, of whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items.

The full fair value of a hedging derivative is classified as a non-current asset or liability when the remaining hedged item is recognised after more than 12 months, and as a current asset or liability when the remaining maturity of the hedged item is less than 12 months. Trading derivatives are classified as a current asset or liability.

At year-end, the Group had contracted to buy £4,414,714 (2024 - £8,492,345) of foreign currencies in future months.

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.

2.22

Hedge accounting

The Group uses foreign currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to cash flow risk on its future creditors payable in foreign currencies. These derivatives are measured at fair value at each reporting date.

To the extent the cash flow hedge is effective, movements in fair value are recognised in other comprehensive income and presented in a separate cash flow hedge reserve. Any ineffective portions of those movements are recognised in profit or loss for the year.

Gains and losses on the hedging instruments and the hedged items are recognised in profit or loss for the year. When a hedged item is an unrecognised firm commitment, the cumulative hedging gain or loss on the hedged item is recognised as an asset or liability with a corresponding gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

3.	Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount 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.

a) Critical judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies

Amortisation rates
The directors have made judgements when determining the useful economic life of goodwill and other intangible assets. Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the value of the assets over the life that economic benefit is expected to flow.

Impairment
At the period end, the directors have considered whether there is any indication that tangible assets, goodwill and investments are impaired and have conducted an impairment review in respect of goodwill, customer contracts and brand intangibles. Management have utilised discounted cashflow forecasts to calculate a value in use in respect of these assets and have concluded that no impairment charge is required in the financial statements for the year ended 31 July 2025.

Valuation of share based payments
As outlined in note 26, the Company has issued equity settled share options to employees and directors of the Company. Management have calculated an estimated value of the share based payments using the Black-Scholes model. The model requires estimates and assumptions to be taken in respect of a risk free rate of return, volatility and the fair value of the share at the date of grant. Management have concluded that any share based payment charge would not be material to the financial statements and accordingly no charge has been recorded in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

b) Key accounting estimates and assumptions

The directors believe that there are no key accounting estimates and assumptions involved in applying the Company's accounting policies that warrant disclosure.
