GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 30 April 2025.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS

During the year under review, the principal activities of Project Hallelujah Bidco Ltd (the "Company") together with its wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Group") consisted of the provision of professional advisory services categorised into three main service pillars as follows:

- Restructuring & Insolvency

- Legal

- Funding

The Restructuring & Insolvency division has seen an increase in Revenue from £33m to £37m (12%), increase has been through organic growth and the UK restructuring market continuing to see significant activity following the withdrawal of pandemic-related government support, UK inflation and rising energy costs.

The Group reported a record revenue of £45,546,751 (2024 - £38,722,467) with an Adjusted EBITDA of £9,823,617 (2024 - £7,109,261) during the year.

The EBITDA figure is stated having added back interest payable and similar expenses, depreciation, amortization and exceptional one-off costs totalling £1,856,000.

The last few months of 2025 results from the Legal services division were strong for the period and reflected a buoyant M&A market for the corporate team and internal referrals from our Restructuring & insolvency division. The division has seen a steady uplift in Revenue from £3.4m to £4.3m, this is through organic growth and working towards tough KPI's.

The results in Funding remain strong with SME's requiring funding as they come out of the pandemic and access to government-backed funding continues to be phased out increasing Revenue from £2.2m to £2.9m, with a real focus on building the core team to help with future growth. In October 2024 the Funding division acquired Newsource Commercial Finance Limited to support the current funding options as 'Master Brokers'.

Also in October 2024 the Group opening a new division, Business Services. In 2025 we made 2 key hires to provide Performance advisory and Advisory (Property & Construction) expertise's. The new division also acquired majority shareholding in Virtualnonexecs in October 2024 which offers members access to a wide array of career tools, dedicated to connecting Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) with board opportunities across various sectors, the virtualnonexecs.com platform drives opportunities.

Throughout the period, the group continued to grow in headcount, this was inline with the group's longer term plan and maintaining a higher level of staffing during the previous financial year. The group has continued to invest in people by expanding existing services and opening new offices throughout the UK.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The management of the business and the nature of the company's strategy are subject to a number of risks. The directors are of the opinion however that current processes and plans in place mitigate such risks significantly. In overview, the key issues subject to ongoing assessment include;

- Keeping and developing key staff

- Constantly developing service lines to meet the needs of the market

- Competitor actions in terms of hiring the best staff, their market approach and related service lines

- Suitable and appropriate financing to allow the group to achieve its long-term goals and the identified growth opportunities.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

SECTION 172(1) STATEMENT

Risks

Recruitment & Retention of high calibre of Key employees

The business is dependent upon the professional development, recruitment and retention of key work winners and employees. The business manages this risk through providing equity options, competitive reward structure, benefits including salary sacrifice schemes, private health, pensions, support to develop careers and gain professional Qualification, and long-term incentive awards to incentives and retain key people.

Legal & regulation

The three pillars (Insolvency, Legal & Funding) operate in regulated markets. Failure to comply with, or changes in, regulation or legislation may have an adverse impact on the activities of the business. To ensure compliance with relevant legislation in performing regulated activities, the business has deducted compliance functions which maintain procedures and policies in line with current legislation.

The company also use third-party Professional corroboration. In addition, the company has appropriate professional indemnity insurance.

Technology risk

Given the nature of our business, we depend on our operating systems and infrastructure to be robust. We have deployed security software and services to mitigate against the threat of potential cyber security breaches. Technology is central to our service and we invest heavily in enhancing our core IT and IT processes while maintaining the integrity and security of our operating systems and infrastructure. We work alongside our trusted business partners to deliver innovative systems and infrastructure and regularly update and improve our own internal safeguards.

Section 172 (1) Statement

The Board of Directors consider that they have acted in the way they consider, in good faith, would be the most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole, having regard to the stakeholders and matters set out in s172 (1) (a-f) of the Companies Act 2006

The paragraphs below outline how the directors have fulfilled their duties:

Governance and decision making

The Group maintains a defined governance structure that is reviewed regularly to ensure it is fit for purpose. The Board formally meets regularly as required by the business to discuss business strategy, performance and any other key matters. The day-to-day management of the business is carried out by the Senior Leadership Team along with a number of key individuals on a regional basis. Any key decision making is carried out and / or approved at Board level.

The Board is comprised of both internal management and external investors, which provides an appropriate degree of challenge to management.

The business operates regular performance meetings beneath this governance structure by pillar and region to ensure engagement, support and challenge with the decision making process.

Business relationships

The nature of the work carried out by the Group can often be with individuals who are encountering significant pressure and challenges within their businesses. We look to treat all individuals with respect whilst fulfilling our statutory duties.

LC Foundation

The Leonard Curtis Foundation launched in December 2020 to enable us all to make a difference and have a positive social impact in areas that we care about - supporting worthwhile causes and local communities.

PROJECT HALLELUJAH BIDCO LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 13322498)

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

The Leonard Curtis Foundation supports a number of causes through financial grants to help those in need, as nominated by our team.

LC employees are invited to nominate registered charities that they would like the foundation to support on a twice yearly basis, as well as get involved in fundraising throughout the year.

Employees

Our greatest asset are the people that work within our business. It is important that all staff are aware of the company strategy and are able to actively contribute towards it. We recognise the importance of career development and actively support our people in professional qualifications and training.

We engage and interact with our teams both on a local office level and nationally. The senior management team across all the group's operations meet both formally and informally on a regular basis through People conferences, quarterly Q&A time with our CEO & COO, appraisals, employee questionnaires where we achieved a 2 star rating and came within the top 50 'best large companies' to work for in 2025. We also, for the first time had our people conference where everyone in the organisation invite where the senior leadership team communicated our future plans and our continuing investment in people.

Acquisitions

The Group has completed two acquisitions during the financial year which the Board believes will deliver value on a number of levels. This includes expanding service offerings and complementing existing established revenue streams within the Group. A proportion of the acquisition cost was financed through an acquisition facility.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

With the recent transaction of new investors, the group has access to additional acquisition funds and ongoing generation of cash flow from operating activities. The group's exposure to interest rate risk on bank borrowing is considered to be low and is reduced further with NatWest interest rate hedging.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS

The Group has recently completed an investment transaction with Pollen Street Capital which will allow the business to move forward and better execute our plans to grow and develop the group. We have our sights on building a business that is sustainable for many years to come and to represent something that we can all be proud to be a part of. None of this would be possible without the hard work, commitment and brilliance of our people. We are building something very special here, and we truly hope we all continue this journey together to be better every day. We believe we can achieve our FY26 target of £50m Revenue and £12.5m EBITDA.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

DISCLOSURE IN THE STRATEGIC REPORT

The company has chosen to set out information in respect of financial instruments and future developments in its strategic report.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES

The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 and then apply them consistently;

- | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

- | state whether applicable 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 company will continue in business.

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS

So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS

The auditors, Harold Sharp Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:

D J Booth - Director

14 January 2026

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

PROJECT HALLELUJAH BIDCO LIMITED

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Project Hallelujah Bidco Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 30 April 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

- | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company 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 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 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 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.

Other information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

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

- | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

- | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

PROJECT HALLELUJAH BIDCO LIMITED

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 Report of the Directors.

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

- | adequate accounting records have not been kept 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page six, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF

PROJECT HALLELUJAH BIDCO LIMITED

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

As part of our planning process:

- We enquired of management the systems and controls the group and parent company has in place, the areas of the financial statements that are mostly susceptible to the risk of irregularities and fraud, and whether there was any known, suspected or alleged fraud.

- We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks applicable to the group and parent company. We determined that the following were most relevant: FRS 102, Companies Act 2006, health and safety, and employment law.

- We considered the incentives and opportunities that exist in the group and parent company, including the extent of management bias, which present a potential for irregularities and fraud to be perpetuated, and tailored our risk assessment accordingly.

- Using our knowledge of the company, together with the discussions held with the group and parent company at the planning stage, we formed a conclusion on the risk of misstatement due to irregularities including fraud and tailored our procedures according to this risk assessment.

The key procedures we undertook to detect irregularities including fraud during the course of the audit included:

- Identifying and testing journal entries and the overall accounting records, in particular those that were significant and unusual.

- Reviewing the financial statement disclosures and determining whether accounting policies have been appropriately applied.

- Reviewing and challenging the assumptions and judgements used by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to depreciation, bad debt provision, WIP provision, and accrued costs.

- Assessing the extent of compliance, or lack of, with the relevant laws and regulations in particular those that are central to the entities ability to continue in operation.

- Testing key revenue lines, in particular cut-off, for evidence of management bias.

- Obtaining third-party confirmation of material bank balances.

- Documenting and verifying all significant related party and consolidated balances and transactions.

- Reviewing documentation such as the company board minutes, correspondence with solicitors, for discussions of irregularities including fraud.

- Testing all material consolidation adjustments.

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities and fraud rests with the directors and management.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Project Hallelujah Bidco Limited is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 13322498 and registered office is Riverside House, Irwell Street, Manchester, M3 5EN.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

| The functional and presentation currency is £ sterling.

| Financial Reporting Standard 102 - reduced disclosure exemptions

| The company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirement for parent company information presented within the consolidated financial statements:

| - Section 7 'Statement of Cash Flows':

| - Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instrument Issues:

| - Section 33 'Related Party Disclosures': Compensation for key management personnel.

| Basis of consolidation

| The consolidated group financial statements consist of the financial statements of the parent company Project Hallelujah Bidco Limited together with all of the entities controlled by the parent company (its subsidiaries).

| All financial statements are made up to 30 April 2025 and all intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation.

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

| In the parent company financial statements, the 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. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for at cost less impairment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2025

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Turnover

| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

| Turnover represents amounts chargeable to clients for professional services provided during the period, inclusive of direct expenses incurred on client assignments but excluding value added tax. Turnover is recognised when a right to consideration has been obtained through performance on each assignment. Consideration accrues as activity progresses by reference to the value of work performed. Turnover is not recognised where the right to receive payment is contingent on events outside the control of the company.

| Unbilled revenue is included on the balance sheet within debtors, amounts falling due within one year.

| 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 straight line basis over its expected life, which is 10 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.

| Tangible fixed assets

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

| Office furniture and equipment | - | 33% on cost, 25% on cost, 20% on cost and 15% on reducing balance

| Computer equipment | - | 33% on reducing balance and 33% on cost

| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

| At each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its fixed assets to determine whether there is any indication that any items have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss, if any.

| If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. Impairment loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

| Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, to the extent that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised as income immediately.

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.

| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Deferred tax

| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.

| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.

| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.

| 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.

| Financial instruments are recognised 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, which include trade debtors, other debtors, unbilled revenue, amounts due from group undertakings 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 method. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

| 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 company after deducting all of its liabilities.

| Basic financial liabilities, including bank overdraft, trade creditors, other creditors, and amounts owed to group undertakings, 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest.

| Financial liabilities are derecognised when, and only when, the group's contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or they expire.

| 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.

| 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, including 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 payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

| Hire purchase and leasing commitments

| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit and loss account on a straight line basis over the period of the lease and are adjusted for any lease incentives received.

| Going concern

| The Strategic Report sets out the director's view of the group position and having considered the current trading and future expectations, the directors are confident the group will trade profitably in future periods and generate sufficient cash flows to meet its obligations as they fall due for payment.

| Share based payment transactions

| Equity-settled transactions

| Equity-settled arrangements are measured at fair value (excluding the effect of non– market based vesting conditions) at the date of the grant. The fair value is expended on a straightened basis over the vesting period. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to reflect the actual number of shares or options that will vest.

| Where equity-settled arrangements are modified, and are of benefit to the employee, the incremental fair value is recognised over the period from the date of modification to date of vesting. Where a modification is not beneficial to the employee there is no change to the charge for share-based payment. Settlements and cancellations are treated as an acceleration of vesting an the untested amount is recognised immediately in the income statement.

| The group has no cash-settled arrangements

3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

| In the application of the group and 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.

| The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows.

| Unbilled revenue

| The directors make judgements as to whether the final outcome on long term assignments can be assessed with reasonable certainty before profits are calculated.

| The directors also make judgements as to the amount of profit that is calculated on long term assignments such that it prudently reflects the proportion of the work carried out by the year end by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses.

| Trade debtors recoverability

| Amounts recoverable on trade debtors are initially measured at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost, being the transaction price less any amounts settled and any impairment losses. The directors make estimates as to the recoverability of these debts and provide for them accordingly.

| Goodwill amortisation

| In the group accounts, 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 straight line basis over its expected life, which is 10 years. The directors have to consider goodwill amortisation and impairment and this includes making estimates and assumptions about future trading performance and cash generation.

| Fixed asset investments

| In the company accounts, fixed asset investments are stated at cost, unless in the opinion of the directors there has been a permanent impairment, in which case an appropriate adjustment is made. The directors have to consider fixed asset investment impairment and this includes making estimates and assumptions about future trading performance and cash generation.

| Classification of Preference Shares

| The group are required to determine whether the preference shares in issue should be classified as debt or equity based on whether the contract results in an unconditional obligation to settle the shares in cash, including the interest due. We consider that the terms of the preference shares meet the definition of a debt instrument and as such these are recognised in liabilities, with interest accruing in line with the contractual interest rate.

| The Preference Shares do not have any voting rights.

| (a) Unless the Board (with Investor Consent) determines otherwise, the Preference Dividend will accrue from day to day from and including the date of issue of the relevant Preference Shares compounding annually on each anniversary of the date of issue (meaning that all accruals of the Preference Dividend at the rate of 6% per annum of the Issue Price of the Preference Shares in each such year shall, with effect from each anniversary of the date of issue, be treated as an addition to the aggregate Issue Price of the relevant Preference Share for the purposes of calculating the Preference Dividend for each subsequent year).

| (b) The accrued and unpaid Preference Dividend (compounded as provided in Article 4.l (a)) will become due and payable upon the date of the redemption of the relevant Preference Share (whether on a Realisation or otherwise) in accordance with Article 5.1 and will, upon becoming due and payable, without any resolution of the Board or of the Company in general meeting, become a debt due from and immediately payable by the Company to the extent the Company has profits available for distribution.

28. | SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS

| Share Options

| In a prior period, the company granted share options under the Leonard Curtis Group Enterprise Incentives (EMI) Share Option Plan. This scheme is considered to be equity settled as it will be settled in the equity of the Company with no option for cash settlement by the option holders. The scheme requires continuous employment as a vesting condition.

| An external independent specialist reviewed and calculated the fair value of options granted and this was considered to be negligible in the prior period. The Directors maintain for the current year that the fair value of the options granted continues to be negligible. As such there is no expense recognised in relation to this scheme in the period (2024: nil) and the options are considered to have nil (2024: nil) fair value at the balance sheet date. The 4,925 options issued represent all options outstanding at the balance sheet date.
