NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Hulme Associates Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address are as below:

| Registered number: | 04918162

| Registered office: | c/o DPC

| Stone House

| 55 Stone Road Business Park

| Stoke-On-Trent

| Staffordshire

| ST4 6SR

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" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

| CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

| (a) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

| The company makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below.

| (i) Useful economic lives of tangible assets

| The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and physical condition of the assets. See tangible assets note for the carrying amount of the assets and the accounting policy for the useful economic lives for each class of assets.

| (ii) Impairment of debtors

| The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience.

| REVENUE RECOGNITION

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

| GOODWILL

| Goodwill arises on business acquisitions and represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition

| over the company's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent

| liabilities of the acquired business.

| Goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

| It is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Where a reliable estimate of the useful

| life of goodwill or intangible assets cannot be made, the life is presumed not to exceed ten years.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 AUGUST 2025

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| INTANGIBLE ASSETS

| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.

| TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

| Tangible assets are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Any tangible assets carried at revalued amounts are recorded at fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

| An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity, except to the extent it reverses a revaluation decrease of the same asset previously recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation increase accumulated in equity in respect of that asset. Where a revaluation decrease exceeds the accumulated revaluation gains accumulated in equity in respect of that asset, the excess shall be recognised in profit or loss.

| Depreciation

| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

| Fixtures & Fittings - 20% on reducing balance

| Computer Equipment - 25% straight line

| Leasehold Improvements - 6 years straight line

| Impairment of Fixed Assets

| A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.

| For the purpose of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, an estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash- generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash- generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or group of assets.

| FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

| A financial asset or a financial liability is recognised only when the entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

| Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at the transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where it is recognised at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.

| Financial assets that are measured at cost or amortised cost are reviewed for objective evidence of impairment at the end of each reporting date. If there is objective evidence of impairment, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss immediately.

| For all equity instruments regardless of significance, and other financial assets that are individually significant, these are assessed individually for impairment. Other financial assets are either assessed individually or grouped on the basis of similar credit risk characteristics.

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| TAXATION

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

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

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

| DEFERRED TAX

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

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

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

| HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING COMMITMENTS

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

| PENSION COSTS AND OTHER POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS

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