SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Introduction
The principal activity of the Group is that of a holding company supporting the activities of both established and newly formed subsidiaries, associated companies and other investments.
Business review
Overall underlying results attributable to the shareholders of the group were in line with expectation. During the year the group disposed of a long term investment in the film distribution sector but this one off gain was offset by losses in the group’s theatrical production subsidiary and a reclassification of an associated company to investment within the group accounts. The group’s core lending operations continued to perform well with further expansion in the group’s overall deployed loan book. Base Interest rates have now come down from their peak of the last few years. The Group through its core lending activities, notably to the below market value property sector, is sensitive to the overall base interest rate cycles and other macro economic factors. However the group’s lending models are well positioned to operate through these cyclical changes. The group continues to focus on maintaining a strong balance sheet and the directors remain cautiously optimistic anticipating continued profitability and growth across its core operations. The group’s main focus continues to be the provision of funding solutions to a variety of sectors in the small to medium size market.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The management of the business and the execution of the Group’s strategy are subject to a number of risks. The key business risks and uncertainties are detailed below. Financial risk management The Group’s operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include the effects of changes in market, credit and liquidity risks. The group has in place an overall risk management framework and risk management programmes at an individual company level where appropriate. Although the overall risk objective will be similar the nature the operations of the companies within the group requires different approaches as some companies will have direct market exposure through their propriatery trading activities and some will only hold non-trading book exposures. Market risk The Group defines market risk as the risk of losses in on- and off-balance sheet positions arising from movements in market prices or risk factors. The companies in the group operate within the risk threshold pre assigned to particular project or strategy in conjunction with the overall group’s market risk framework. Market risk – foreign exchange risk The Group maintains balances in a number of currencies, primarily Euros and US Dollars and has an active policy to manage and keep any underlying currency exposures to a minimum. Credit risk The group is exposed to credit risk through its deposited cash balances at its bankers Lloyds Bank, its Clearing and Settlement agents and its corporate Loan book. There are also balances due from other credit institutions and corporates relating to the groups facilities and funding activities. There is a continuous monitoring of all group debts to ensure that all outstanding sums are settled within the agreed credit terms. Any disputed details are dealt with by the credit control department and escalated to senior Page 1
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 management where necessary to ensure that there are minimal impaired debts at any time. Counterparty credit risk The group generates risk through the potential default of its counterparties to fulfil their obligations to the group and these may arise through non-payment or failure to settle transactions. Triggers for these default events will likely be driven by changes in market risk factors (market driven counterparty risks) and the group differentiates between these and other types of repayment risk arising through its non-trading book. Liquidity risk The group actively maintains sufficient cash resources and bank facilities to ensure the group has sufficient available funds for operations and timely settlement of transactions. The group operates a liquidity management framework and individual companies have documented their liquidity requirements within the framework of a Liquidity Policy.
Financial and non-financial key performance indicators
The group records and tracks financial key performance indicators at various frequency levels. A sample of key financial performance indicators are illustrated below. Profitability ratios such as operating margins 2025: 8.5% (2024: 45.7%) are key indicators for the Group. Return on Equity 2025: 0.3% (2024: 3.1%) was lower compared to last year due to losses at the groups theatrical production subsidiary and a reclassification of an associated company to investments. At an operational level the group monitors financial indicators in all its key areas of operations. There are no non-financial key performance indicators.
Directors' statement of compliance with duty to promote the success of the Group
Under section 172(1) of the Companies Act 2006, the Directors are required to act in a way that they consider, in all good faith, would most likely promote the success of the Company. This success must be for the benefit of the Company’s shareholders but also for all other stakeholders. In its decisions the company has regard to the interests of its stakeholders and the desirability to maintain a reputation for high standards of business conduct. The Directors understand that the success of the company will be dependent on fostering strong mutually beneficial relationship with its customers, suppliers, employees and other stakeholders and actively manage such relationships. Furthermore the Directors ensure that they act fairly as between members of the company whilst also taking into consideration the impact of the company’s decisions on the wider community and the environment. Shareholders As a private company and group, the majority shareholder holds an active role in the daily running of the business, which ensures that the strategy of the Group is completely aligned with overall strategic objectives. Employees The team meet on a regular basis to discuss management information and investments and key management also form part of these conversations. Customers The Group has a varied customer base across its various activities and treating customers fairly is ingrained in the organisation. The behaviour of employees towards customers is governed by the Group policies and underlying legal agreements of the transactions placed. Page 2
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Suppliers The Group has various key supplier relationships which are monitored regularly ensuring the smooth running of the business. Community and the environment The Group ensures that its activities where relevant are carried out in a sustainable manner. This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

Directors' responsibilities statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Directors' Report and the consolidated financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and the Group and of the profit or loss of the Group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: ∙select suitable accounting policies for the Group's financial statements and then apply them consistently; ∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; ∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; ∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Group will continue in business. The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Schneider Holdings London Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 31 March 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). In our opinion the financial statements: ∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Group's and of the parent Company's affairs as at 31 March 2025 and of the Group's profit for the year then ended; ∙have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and ∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group's or the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. Page 6
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: ∙the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and ∙the Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the parent Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Directors' Report. We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: ∙adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or ∙the parent Company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or ∙certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or ∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. Page 8
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors' Report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Group financial statements. Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: Enquiring of management and those charged with governance around actual and potential litigation and claims; Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: ∙Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. ∙Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control. ∙Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. ∙Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditors' Report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our Auditors' Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. ∙Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. ∙Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. Page 9
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED (CONTINUED) We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose.

SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
1. | General information
The principal activity of Schneider Holdings London Limited ("the Company") during the year was that of a holding company supporting the activities of both established and newly formed subsidiaries, associated companies and other investments. The company is a private Company limited by shares and is incorporated and domiciled in England. The address of its Registered Office and principal place of business is 1 Bedford Row, London, WC1R 4BU. 2.Accounting policies
| 2.1 | Basis of preparation of financial statements
The Consolidated and Company financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, under the historical cost convention as modified by the recognition of certain assets and liabilities measured at fair value, and in accordance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland ("FRS 102") and the Companies Act 2006. The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The preparation of Consolidated and Company financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3). The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
| 2.2 | Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full. The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases. Page 20
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.3 | Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Group will continue to be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Based on the results to date and future projections, the directors are confident that the Group will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due, looking forward at least twelve months from the date of signing these financial statements. As a result, the directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.
| 2.4 | Associates and joint ventures
An entity is treated as a joint venture where the Group is a party to a contractual agreement with one or more parties from outside the Group to undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control. An entity is treated as an associated undertaking where the Group exercises significant influence in that it has the power to participate in the operating and financial policy decisions. In the consolidated accounts, interests in associated undertakings are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under this method an equity investment is initially recognised at the transaction price (including transaction costs) and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the investors share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity of the associate. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income includes the Group's share of the operating results, interest, pre-tax results and attributable taxation of such undertakings applying accounting policies consistent with those of the Group. In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the interests in associated undertakings are shown as the Group's share of the identifiable net assets, including any unamortised premium paid on acquisition. Any premium on acquisition is dealt with in accordance with the goodwill policy. Page 21
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.5 | Turnover
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the Group in respect of services supplied during the year, exclusive of Value Added Tax and along with profits and losses derived from trading activities. Turnover in relation to the provision of facilitation services is recognised over the period the service is provided. Turnover in respect of dealings in equity and FX derivatives is recognised on a trade date basis. Turnover in respect of LLP profit shares and dividends is recognised when profits and dividends are irrevocably allocated. Turnover in respect of interest receivable is recognised at the applicable interest rate over the period in which it relates. Turnover in respect of hedge fund trading is recognised over the period to which the income relates. The loan arrangement fees are held at amortised cost from inception with the income recognised at the start of the loan. In accordance with accepted practice, the profits and losses from trading activities include unrealised profits and losses at the period end, as open positions are included at market value. The directors consider this to be necessary to show a true and fair view, since the marketability of the instruments enables decisions to be taken continually about whether to hold or sell them, and hence the economic measure of profit in any period is properly made by reference to market values.
| 2.6 | Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Page 22
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.6 | Tangible fixed assets (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method. Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
|  |  |  | Short-term leasehold property | - | Straight line over the lease term
|  |  |  | Motor vehicles | - | 20% Straight line
|  |  |  | Fixtures and fittings | - | 20% Straight line
|  |  |  | Computer equipment | - | 33% Straight line
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
| 2.7 | Intangible assets
Goodwill Goodwill represents the difference between amounts paid on the cost of a business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the fair value of the Group's share of its identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquiree at the date of acquisition. Subsequent to initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is amortised on a straight-line basis to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over its useful economic life. Other intangible assets Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years. Goodwill is amortised over 10 years and the Website over 5 years. Page 23
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.8 | Valuation of investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. Investments in unlisted Group shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each reporting date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment. Long term loans to related companies are treated as investments. Investments held as current assets are shown at market value.
| 2.9 | Stocks
Stocks comprise theatre production costs, which are recorded as a current asset net of the relevant tax credit. Theatre production costs are amortised and recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over the period in which rights to the relevant production are being exploited by the Group. At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.
| 2.10 | Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. In the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.
| 2.11 | Financial instruments
The Group only enters into basic financial instruments and transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to and from related parties. (i) Financial assets Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, and amounts due from related companies, are initially recognised at transaction price, 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. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Page 24
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.11 | Financial instruments (continued)
Statement of Comprehensive Income. Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. (ii) Financial liabilities Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and accruals, 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 receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors 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. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires. (iii) Offsetting 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.
| 2.12 | Foreign currency translation
Functional and presentation currency The Group and Company's functional and presentational currency is Sterling. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'other operating income'. Page 25
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.13 | Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
| 2.14 | Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable. Interim equity dividends are recognised when paid. Final equity dividends are recognised when approved by the shareholders at an annual general meeting.
| 2.15 | Operating leases: the Group as lessee
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
| 2.16 | Pensions
Defined contribution pension plan The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.
| 2.17 | Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method. Page 26
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 2.Accounting policies (continued)
| 2.18 | Current and deferred taxation
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income. Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that: ∙The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; ∙Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and ∙Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
| 2.19 | Joint arrangements that are not entities ("JANE")
A JANE is a contractual arrangement with other participants to engage in joint activities where no separate entity is created. Such arrangements are accounted for in the financial statements by including only the Group's share of assets and liabilities in accordance with the terms of the arrangement. Page 27
SCHNEIDER HOLDINGS LONDON LIMITED NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
3. | Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The following judgements (apart from those involving estimates) have had the most significant effect on amounts recognised in the financial statements: (i) Useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets The annual depreciation charge for tangible fixed 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 reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 16 for the carrying amount of the tangible fixed assets, and note 2.6 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets. (ii) Debtors The Group 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. See note 19 for the net carrying amount of the debtors. (iii) Valuation of investments The Group has certain fixed and current asset investments that require recognition at fair value involving the use of valuation and estimation techniques. Where market value or fair value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment. There are no key assumptions concerning the future at the reporting date that have a significant risk causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
4. | Turnover
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal activity.
| All turnover arose within the United Kingdom.
