STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
- 1 -

The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 30 April 2025.

Principal activities

Valda Energy Group Limited is a licensed Electricity and Gas Supplier to Non-Domestic end users in Great Britain, with focus on the small and medium sized business market. Valda Energy Group offers customers electricity and gas supply contracts.

Review of the business

The Group has continued to grow, and this financial period has seen another strong performance across our Business Key Performance indications (“KPIs”).

Growth in contracted meter point numbers and the total amount of commodity supplied to customers has led to a 34% increase in turnover for the year.

Gross profit increased 32%. Gross Margin (%) decreased slightly year on year reflecting the change in the customer portfolio mix in a competitive market. Operating Profit increased to £1.7m (£0.9m 2023/24).

At the outset of this financial year, the executive board agreed that the strategic aim of the Group should be two-fold; delivering and maintaining business growth whilst ensuring the Group has the platform for the future ambitions and aspirations. It is therefore, particularly encouraging to see that both aims have been achieved and the Group is in a strong and robust position to support its long-term goals.

During the financial year, the Group engaged with and successfully negotiated an extension to our Wholesale Commodity purchase agreement with AXPO Holdings AG ('AXPO'). Since the Group first entered into an agreement with AXPO in 2019, it has proven to be a strong and successful partnership, and therefore, furthering this significant relationship illustrates the confidence and collective ambitions in the Group .

This financial period also saw the successful completion of further contracts aligned with the long-term ambitions of the Business. Enhancing AI and customer service capabilities is seen as vital to achieving an efficient and cost-effective operating environment and one that underpins the Group's aim of growth through competitive pricing and a strong customer centric proposition. The successful introduction of Intelligent speech analytics and live agent assistance, power by AI is a clear example of the Business combining market leading technology with a Customer Centric culture.

This focus on customer delivery is incorporated into our Key Performance targets set within the Business and the Directors were pleased to report an improved Trust Pilot score of 4.1 at the end of the financial period.

As part of the strategic aim to ensure the Group has strong and robust pillars upon which to build and grow in the future, the Business, as part of its Resourcing strategy, recognises the need to Attract and Retain key staff and provide resilience across all areas of the business. Through this financial period, the Business has seen significant additions to many departments, including our Finance function. Expanding the team by Including the appointment of a new Financial Controller and experienced Management Accountants, has facilitated enhanced data analysis, process improvements and efficiencies, whilst concurrently, meeting the Business’s strategic requirements.

To strengthen the integrity of our financial reporting, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of our revenue recognition processes. This has led to an updated methodology around revenue recognition, along with the implementation of enhanced controls and system improvements, including tighter integration with settlement data and new billing system reconciliation procedures. Further, the Board has concluded that a prior year adjustment is required to reflect a more prudent view of billed and unbilled volumes. Further details of this are covered in the note on the restatement of prior year profit, however, the restatement has no impact on cash flows and is limited to accounting adjustments.

VALDA ENERGY GROUP LIMITED
STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
- 2 -

Wholesale commodity price movements in the year reflected a trend of market correction following the energy shocks of 2022–2023. Price peaked during the winter months, on colder than average temperatures and continuing geopolitical tensions. Early 2025 has seen prices begin to soften due to milder weather, increased renewable generation and flexibility provided by gas storage. Despite the recent easing, risks remain due to ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, US initiated tariff shifts, and supply-side fragility. Our procurement strategy continues to monitor these dynamics closely to ensure cost-effective and secure energy sourcing for our customers.

Electricity distribution and transmission costs continued to evolve under Ofgem’s Targeted Charging Review (TCR) reforms, which aim to ensure a fairer and more cost-reflective allocation of network charges. The most notable change was the shift in the balance between fixed and variable charges. Distribution Use of System (DUoS) charges saw an increase in the standing charge element, while consumption-based charges—calculated using Red, Amber, and Green time bands—were reduced. This shift reflects Ofgem’s intention to recover more of the network’s residual costs through fixed charges, reducing the ability of high-consuming or load-shifting customers to avoid charges through behavioural changes.

These changes have implications for how suppliers structure tariffs and recover costs from customers. As a supplier to UK-only small businesses, we have adapted our pricing models to reflect the increasing weight of fixed charges, ensuring transparency and fairness while continuing to support customers in managing their energy use efficiently.

The year has seen continued focus on new acquisitions and Customer retentions. Products and pricing have been fundamental to achieving a strong set of sales results, along with the ability to flex and reflect the changing market requirements. The Business’s aim of maintaining a diverse portfolio base remains a significant commercial strategy and the results of this financial period have continued to demonstrate success in this regard.

The Directors are positive for the future direction of the Business and its ability to meet expectations across all the Business KPIs.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Group faces several Business risks, however, through regular management review and policy analysis each risk has been evaluated and actions to mitigate identified.

Commodity Risk

The Group operates a Fully Hedged wholesale energy policy, aiming to de-risk our exposure to the energy market. The forecast energy demand for all customer contracts is calculated using considerable internal resource and modelling. This modelling is continually developing, using up to date, real-time customer data combined with knowledge and experience of operating within the energy retail sector

The main hedging related risks are broadly categorised as prolonged periods of extreme weather, changes in customer consumption and changes in the rate in which contracted customers move out of their properties. These are managed, in turn, by receiving weather forecasts from relevant weather stations across the country, adjusting hedge volumes accordingly, and by having forecasts that update based on the latest customer consumption information. Detailed analysis to review the half hourly volumes consumed by our existing portfolio is also applied to this calculation as well as the development of a comprehensive customer performance library.

Credit Risk

Bad debts derived from customers who fail to pay their electricity and gas invoices represent a significant administrative expense to the Business.

Effective credit risk management is fundamental in ensuring that there is an appropriate balance between this risk and facilitating the growth of the Business. The Group controls the exposure to credit risk from customers with the Credit Assessment decision path that integrates with the Business acquisition online platform. Furthermore, the Business devotes significant resource to manage its customer portfolio to mitigate credit exposure and any negative effect on cash flows. Through historical analysis and current customer performance, the Business forecasts and then analyses expected customer behaviour against allowed tolerances.

Third Party Sales Intermediaries

The Business engages with Third Party Intermediaries and the identified risk is a reduction in the number of parties operating in this sector potentially reducing market competition. The most likely cause for a possible reduction in the TPI sector is recognised as either increased consolidation activity, or possible changes in regulation.

The Directors believe that a strong and robust TPI market can support healthy competition within the energy retail market, and the Business actively engages with the Regulator and other parties to be at the forefront of discussions considering enhancements to the sector.

Resourcing

With Employees being at the centre of our continued success, the Business recognises the risk of not being able to meet our resourcing requirements. The Directors employ an Attract and Retain strategy at the core of our business culture. We recognise that this culture is the most important intangible Business asset, providing a key tool in establishing our competitive advantage, delivering for our customers as well as all our stakeholders.

Key performance indicators

The directors monitor the key performance indicators (KPIs) of the business on a regular basis:

2025 2024

Turnover Growth 34% 40%

Gross margin percentage 14.1% 14.3%

Other information and explanations

Directors' Statement of Compliance with Duty to Promote the Success of the Group

The information below incorporates information about the ways in which the Directors discharge their duties under the Companies Act 2006, s172.

Group Board Members and Shareholders

Ahead of matters being put to the Group Board for consideration, significant levels of engagement are often undertaken by the broader business ahead of many projects or activities. This engagement is often governed by formulated policies, control frameworks, regulation and legislation. Dependent on the project activity Board members may participate in this engagement.

Commodity Delivery Partners

The Group announced a three-year extension to their existing Wholesale Energy Agreement with AXPO UK, the British based subsidiary of AXPO Holdings AG in the year. The terms of the agreement enable full adherence to our agreed Commodity Risk policy and provide pricing security and stability for our customers.

Customers

We remained firmly committed to placing our customers at the centre of our operations through proactive, transparent, and responsive engagement.

We published monthly blogs offering insights into our services, industry developments, and practical guidance, while regular press releases were shared across our website and social media channels to communicate key business updates and community initiatives.

To further support our customers, we issued proactive email communications designed to assist with account management and provide timely, relevant information. We also gathered customer feedback following every call, using these insights to inform strategic decisions and drive continuous service improvement.

This consistent and multi-channel engagement has strengthened customer trust, enhanced service quality, and ensured our offerings remain aligned with evolving customer needs.

Community

In celebration of Valda Energy’s 5th anniversary last year, we launched a grassroots sports initiative to support local communities across Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire, and Buckinghamshire. Through our grassroots initiative, we’re proud to support incredible clubs that are making a real difference in their communities by fostering inclusion, building confidence, and creating opportunities for all.

At Valda, we remain committed to empowering local talent and helping communities thrive. The company’s apprenticeship scheme, which is now in its second year, is giving young adults the opportunity to study for a nationally recognised qualification that will improve their overall career prospects. Alongside business specific learning, apprentices at Valda are also provided with life skills lessons, covering health, nutrition and banking, which contribute to their overall well-being and financial literacy. Participants are offered a permanent role immediately after they complete their study programme, allowing them to utilise their newly developed skills within the workplace.

Employee Engagement

On a regular basis, management engages with employees on a business or function basis through a range of formal and informal channels, including:

- Emails from Executive Leadership team

- Senior Leader communications

- Townhalls

- Team meetings

- Online publications

In addition, the annual People Survey, which measures employee engagement, is an opportunity for employees to give their opinion on a series of topics ranging from leadership, business direction communication, inclusion, and pride in company. The purpose of the survey is to enable ongoing constructive dialogue between management and employees, enabling trends to be identified and areas of focus to deliver business outcomes.

Policy Makers and Regulators

The Business operates in a highly regulated industry and welcomes strong, sensible regulation. We regularly engage with the energy regulator, Ofgem, and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, both directly and through public consultations and industry forums. The Group's Directors consider both regulatory and compliance risks and the potential impacts they may have on our Business. The Group maintains a constructive dialogue with policy makers on matters relevant to its current operations, longer term strategy and purpose.

Sustainability Strategy

In 2024, we implemented several initiatives to reduce the Company carbon footprint:

- Upgraded office lighting to movement sensor and LED systems

- Fitted new doors and windows which improved heat insulation

- Purchased a new energy efficient boiler system which reduced gas consumption

The Company continues to support the UK’s transition to net zero by sourcing electricity through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) direct from small-scale renewable generators. By supporting smaller-scale, community-driven projects through PPAs, Valda Energy is contributing to a more distributed and resilient renewable energy system. These agreements play a critical role in unlocking investment in clean energy infrastructure and help empower local people to take charge of their energy future.

VALDA ENERGY GROUP LIMITED
DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025
- 7 -

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report 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). 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 group and company, 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 and then apply them consistently;

- make judgements 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 and company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the group’s and company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and 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 group and company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

VALDA ENERGY GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
TO THE MEMBERS OF VALDA ENERGY GROUP LIMITED
- 8 -
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Valda Energy Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 April 2025 which comprise the group profit and loss account, the group statement of comprehensive income, the group balance sheet, the company balance sheet, the group statement of changes in equity, the company statement of changes in equity, the group statement of cash flows, the company statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including 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 the parent company's affairs as at 30 April 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 Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent 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 group's and 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.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

- T he information given in the strategic report and the directors' r eport for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

- The strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

VALDA ENERGY GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF VALDA ENERGY GROUP LIMITED
- 9 -
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 their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identifie d material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors' r eport.

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.

Responsibilities of directors

As explained more fully in the directors' r esponsibilities s tatement, 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 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 parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's 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 auditor's 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 financial statements.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below.

- the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;

- we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our knowledge and experience;

- we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company.

- we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence where applicable; and

- identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.

We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:

- making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and

- considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.

VALDA ENERGY GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT (CONTINUED)
TO THE MEMBERS OF VALDA ENERGY GROUP LIMITED
- 10 -

To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:

- performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;

- tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;

- assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and

- investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.

In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:

- agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;

- reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;

- enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims;

- reviewing relevant Ofgem correspondence.

There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any.

Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.

A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's 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 auditor's 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.

Company information

Valda Energy Group Limited (“the company”) is a private limited company domiciled and incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Unit 11, Talisman Business Centre, Talisman Road, Bicester, Oxfordshire, OX26 6HR.

The group consists of Valda Energy Group Limited and all of its subsidiaries.

1.1
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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

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

1.2
Business combinations

In the parent company financial statements, t he cost of a business combination is the fair value at the acquisition date of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. The excess of the cost of a business combination over the fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired is recognised as goodwill. The cost of the combination includes the estimated amount of contingent consideration that is probable and can be measured reliably, and is adjusted for changes in contingent consideration after the acquisition date. Provisional fair values recognised for business combinations in previous periods are adjusted retrospectively for final fair values determined in the 12 months following the acquisition date. I nvestments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates are accounted for at cost less impairment.

Deferred tax is recognised on differences between the value of assets (other than goodwill) and liabilities recognised in a business combination accounted for using the purchase method and the amounts that can be deducted or assessed for tax, considering the manner in which the carrying amount of the asset or liability is expected to be recovered or settled. The deferred tax recognised is adjusted against goodwill or negative goodwill.

1.3
Basis of consolidation

The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company Valda Energy Group Limited together with all entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries) and the group’s share of its interests in joint ventures and associates.

All financial statements are made up to 30 April 2025. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the g roup.

All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.

Subsidiaries are consolidated in the group’s financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.

1.4
Going concern

At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

1.5
Turnover

Revenue represents the fair value of consideration received or receivable for the supply of electricity and gas to customers in the ordinary course of business, net of value added tax (VAT), climate change levy (CCL), and other applicable levies.

Revenue is recognised when control of the goods or services is transferred to the customer, and in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled.

Revenue from the supply of electricity and gas is recognised over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. This is typically measured using meter readings or estimated consumption based on historical usage patterns, adjusted for industry settlement data.

Revenue is accrued for energy supplied but not yet billed at the reporting date. This accrued income is based on estimated consumption and prevailing billed tariffs, and is reviewed regularly for accuracy.

Revenue is subject to retrospective adjustments through the UK energy industry settlement process. Where such adjustments relate to prior periods, they are recognised in the period in which they become known and, where material, disclosed as a prior period adjustment.

1.6
Intangible fixed assets - goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of a business over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is considered to have a finite useful life and is amortised on a systematic basis over its expected life, which is 35 years.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to the cash-generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition. Cash-generating units to which goodwill has been allocated are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than the carrying amount of the unit, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro-rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset in the unit.

1.7
Intangible fixed assets other than goodwill

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.

Amortisation 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:

Website and software development costs
5 years straight line
1.8
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:

Short leasehold improvements
5 years straight line
Furniture and fittings
5 years straight line
Office and IT equipment
3 years straight line

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

1.9
Fixed asset investments

Equity in vest ments are measured at fair value through profit or loss, except for those equity investments that are not publicly traded and whose fair value cannot otherwise be measured reliably, which are recognised at cost less impairment until a reliable measure of fair value becomes available.

I n the parent company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.

1.10
Impairment of fixed assets

At each reporting period end date, the group reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The carrying amount of the investments accounted for using the equity method is tested for impairment as a single asset. Any goodwill included in the carrying amount of the investment is not tested separately for impairment.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Recognised impairment losses are reversed if, and only if, the reasons for the impairment loss have ceased to apply. Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

1.11
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.12
Financial instruments

The group 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 group's balance sheet when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and 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 debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest m ethod unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. 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.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the group transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

Classification of 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 deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future paymen ts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

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

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

1.13
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the group.

1.14
Taxation

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

Current tax

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

Deferred tax

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

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

1.15
Provisions

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

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

1.16
Employee benefits

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

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

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

1.17
Retirement benefits

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

1.18
Share-based payments

The group participates in a share-based payment arrangement granted to its employees and employees in the parent company Valda Energy Group Limited.

Equity-settled share-based payments are measured at fair value at the date of grant by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments granted. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the estimate of shares that will eventually vest. A corresponding adjustment is made to equity.

The expense in relation to options over the parent company’s shares granted to employees of a subsidiary is recognised by the c ompany as a capital contribution, and presented as an increase in the company’s investment in that subsidiary.

When the terms and conditions of equity-settled share-based payments at the time they were granted are subsequently modified, the fair value of the share-based payment under the original terms and conditions and under the modified terms and conditions are both determined at the date of the modification. Any excess of the modified fair value over the original fair value is recognised over the remaining vesting period in addition to the grant date fair value of the original share-based payment. The share-based payment expense is not adjusted if the modified fair value is less than the original fair value.

Cancellations or settlements (including those resulting from employee redundancies) are treated as an acceleration of vesting and the amount that would have been recognised over the remaining vesting period is recognised immediately.

1.19
Leases

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the lease d asset are consumed.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the group’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.

Accrued income - unbilled amounts

It is the aim of the company to generate a bill every month for all electricity and gas customers. Revenue is recognised on the basis of electricity and gas supplied during the accounting period using the monthly customer billed data where available. Unbilled amounts are recognised based on actual customer tariffs and industry expected settlement data for each customer from their last bill date to the period end date. The industry expected settlement data is the estimated quantity the industry system deems the individual suppliers, including the Company, to have supplied. Any unbilled amounts are included to the extent they are considered recoverable.

Bad debt provision

R ecoverability is assessed by looking at the portfolio as a whole and taking a view on the stage of debt collection to determine what estimated provision is necessary to provide for debts deemed doubtful.

Accruals

Cost of sales accruals are based on reported supply volumes and in some cases, estimated £/MWh prices which can lead to variances once the settlement runs are finalised. The accrual is based on the best available information as at the balance sheet date from supply data and industry driven knowledge to produce an appropriate estimate of liabilities due.

Share based payments

The directors consider the use of Black-Scholes an appropriate model for use in arriving at an estimation of fair value per issued share option at grant date.

Deferred tax asset

T his is primarily based on available carried forward losses and share options alongside management’s assessment of recoverability against future profits.

Goodwill

Consolidated goodwill arising on the purchase of Valda Energy Limited (formerly Scafell Energy Limited) has been amortised over 35 years as the directors consider it appropriate to align the goodwill period with the electricity supply license obtained to form a reliable estimate of the amortisation period.

The options outstanding at 30 April 2025 had an exercise price ranging from £1 to £4 and a remaining contractual life of 4-10 years.

The weighted average fair value of options granted in the year was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model which is considered to be the most appropriate valuation method in estimating the fair value of the option at grant date.

Other transactions

During the year, the Group maintained a share-based payment arrangement with an external third party, under which share options were granted subject to vesting contingent upon the occurrence of an uncertain future event. As the fair value of the options at the reporting date indicates no charge to profit or loss is required for the period, no expense has been recognised.

The arrangement remains equity-settled and is subject to non-market vesting conditions.

Share based payments

The Valda Energy share option scheme

The company’s controlling party Valda Energy Group Limited offers a share option scheme which is available to the employees of Valda Energy Limited.

The scheme is an equity settled share based option scheme, which gives the option to purchase Ordinary shares. The scheme is available to employees of the company and certain non-employees of the company. The employee options may only be exercised if the employees remain employed by the company. The options will lapse on the maximum 10th year anniversary of date of grant, if a performance target applying to the whole of the option becomes incapable of being met, the option holder attempts to transfer or assign the option or create an interest security over it, if the option holder becomes bankrupt or enters into an individual voluntary arrangement, or if the option holder ceases for any other reason to be the sole legal or beneficial owner.

The exercise of options are subject to full board approval.

The term of the options granted are a maximum of 5 years.

Prior period adjustment

Following an internal review of the processes for accounting for accrued income and revenue recognition, the Board has concluded that a restatement of prior year accounts is necessary.
As a result, the Group’s net assets at 30 April 2024 have been reduced by £5.2m. This adjustment mainly relates to a reduction in the accrued income balance at 30 April 2024 and 30 April 2023 of £4.6m and £1.3m respectively.

The restatement has arisen from an incorrect estimation for unbilled volume which may well not be subsequently realised through energy industry settlement processes and customers actual consumption. The restatement has no impact on cash flows and is limited to accounting adjustments.

To strengthen the integrity of our financial reporting, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of our revenue recognition processes. This has led to an updated methodology around revenue recognition, along with the implementation of enhanced controls and system improvements, including tighter integration with settlement data and new billing system reconciliation procedures.

In line with the objectives we set for the Company, we have strengthened key Finance roles, including the appointment of a new Financial Controller and experienced Management Accountants to support the continuation of the improvements already made.

These measures provide greater assurance that our reported revenues are both credible and reliable, and that they reflect an accurate view of customer consumption and billing.
