Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company are broadly grouped within competitive, operational and financial risk. The director's risk management objectives consist of identifying and monitoring those risks which could have caused an adverse impact on the Company's assets, profitability or cash flows.
Competitive Risk
The Company's turnover represents revenue generated from marketing support services to its leading group. Companies that is involved in telecommunication industry in UK. The United Kingdom telecommunication market remains competitive with new entrants able to join relatively easily resulting in pricing risk. It has proven difficult for any new entrant to achieve any scale, however, and the combination of any new entrant's inability to match its product tariff rates for any length of time as well as a lack of national distribution mitigates this risk. This competitive risk is further mitigated by regular reviews of competitive offerings and changes in market providers, with immediate responses to competitive offerings in the market.
Operational Risk
The main operational risk relating to the Company is retention of operational status that provides the marketing support for the telecommunication services to a related party. The Company will continue to provide marketing support to its related party companies and will overcome any operational risk.
Financial Risk
The Company's sales are denominated in Pounds sterling and purchases from the Group are denominated in Euros. Certain balances due to or from related parties are in other currencies, primarily Euros. The Company is exposed therefore to currency movements. Currently the Company does not use any financial derivatives or currency hedging options in its financial activities.
The Company's Policy on liquidity risk is to ensure that sufficient cash is available to fund continuing operations which is supported by related party balances.
Credit Risk
The Company's principal financial assets are bank balances, trade and other receivables. The company's credit risk is primarily attributable to the amounts due from related parties. The amounts presented in Balance Sheet are presented net of any impairment. Each balance is reviewed and an assessment of recoverability of the balance has been made individually, with any impaired amount taken directly to profit and loss. The credit risk on bank balances is considered limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings. The Company has a significant concentration of credit risk as a result of significant balances due to and from related parties. The related party companies have less risk with regard to competition and financial risk and the Companies have substantial profitability and that reduces the risk of uncertainty in related party balances receivable or payable.
Liquidity Risk
The Company's policy on liquidity risk is to ensure that sufficient cash is available to fund on-going market support services, which is supported by related party companies The related party companies have agreed and ensured a continued support to the Company.

Post Balance Sheet Events
Information relating to events since the end of the year is given in the notes to the financial statements.
Statement of Director's Responsibilities
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Director's Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director 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 of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing the financial statements the director is required to: 
  • select suitable accounting policies 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; and
  • prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.
The director is 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 enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The director is responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Statement of Disclosure of Information to Auditors
In the case of each director in office at the date the Director's Report is approved: 
  • so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditors are unaware; and
  • they have taken all the steps that they ought to have taken as director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

Independent Auditor's Report
Qualified opinion
Disclaimer of Opinion
We were engaged to audit the financial statements of Lycatel Distribution UK Limited (the “Company”), which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024, and the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and 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 (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland".
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section of our report, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Basis for Qualified Opinion
Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion 
We have been unable to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence over:
  1. The existence and recoverability of £23,226,883 receivable balance due from related parties which is included in the short term debtors on the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2024; the Company was unable to provide sufficient Information required to understand and audit the commercial rationale and accounting for these balances; and
  2. The completeness and accuracy of £12,631,953 short term payables and £25,986,436 of long term payables all due to related parties; the Company was unable to provide sufficient information required to understand and audit the commercial rationale and accounting of these balances.
  3. The completeness and accuracy of tax charge and payables.
Given the multiple and potentially significant effects of the matters described above, we have been unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to form an opinion on the financial statements.
Material Uncertainty related to Going Concern
We draw attention to Note 3.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the recovery of amounts due from related parties and continued financial support from those parties. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
However, due to the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to conclude on the appropriateness of the going concern basis of accounting.
Other Information
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether it is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit.
However, because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section, we have not been able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence. Accordingly, we are unable to conclude whether the other information is materially misstated.
Opinions on Other Matters Prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
Because of the significance of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on whether:
  • The information given in the Strategic Report and the Director’s Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; or
  • the Strategic Report and the Director’s Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Page 4
Page 5
Matters on Which We Are Required to Report by Exception
Notwithstanding our disclaimer of an opinion on the financial statements, in the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit performed subject to the pervasive limitation described above, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the director's report.
Arising from the limitation of our work referred to above: 
  • we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and
  • we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept. 
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:
  • returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us.
  • the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made.
Responsibilities of Directors
As explained more fully in the Director’s Responsibilities Statement set out on page 4, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is responsible for assessing the 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 director either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our responsibility is to conduct an audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) and to issue an auditor's report. However, because of the matters described in the Basis for Disclaimer of Opinion section, we were not able to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for an audit opinion on these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. However, because of the matters described above, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to conclude on these matters.
We are independent of the 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.
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.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
LYCATEL DISTRIBUTION UK LIMITED is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 06141057 . The registered office is 3rd Floor, Walbrook Building, 195 Marsh Wall, London, E14 9SG.
2. Statement of Compliance
The 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.
3. Accounting Policies
3.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
3.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Director has a reasonable expectation that the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due.
Mr. A. Subaskaran owns 98.5% of the Company’s issued share capital, while the remaining 1.5% is held by Lyca Group Holdings Ltd.
The Company reported a net profit for the year ended 31 December 2024 of £156,978 (2023: -£542,206) and, as at that date, had net liabilities of £10,896,108 (2023: £10,395,763). Included within debtors due within one year is £23,226,883 due from companies in which Mr A Subaskaran holds a substantial shareholding. Included within creditors falling due within one year are £12,631,953 due to group undertakings. Creditors falling due more than one year include £25,986,436 due to group undertakings.
The Director has prepared cash flow and trading forecasts covering the period to 31 March 2027. These forecasts reflect a reduction in net income due to a planned decrease in the scope of services provided and indicate continued reliance on net balances receivable from, and financial support provided by, related parties.
This dependence on continued financial support from related parties represents a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be required if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.
3.3. Significant judgements and estimations
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, which are described above, management is required to make judgements, estimates, and assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on judgement and experience together with any other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and any underlying assumptions used are reviewed on a continuing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both the current period and the subsequent periods.
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 balance sheet date and 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 evaluated continually and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 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.

3.3. Significant judgements and estimations - continued
(i) Impairment of  receivables (including intercompany receivables):
The Company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other receivables. When assessing impairment of trade and other receivables, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the  receivables, the ageing profile of receivables and historical default experience. The carrying amount is £23,611,212 (2023:£26,713,389).
(ii) Going concern
Management have considered the Company's ability to continue as a going concem for a period of at least 18 months from the date of the audit report, and in doing so they have made a number of significant judgements. This includes assessing the ability of related parties and individuals to repay loans and provide financial support should they require it. Details of the Director assessment has been included in note 3.2.
(iii) Useful economic life of tangible assets
The charge in respect of periodic depreciation is derived after determining an estimate of an asset's expected useful life and the expected residual value at the end of its life. Increasing an asset's expected life or its residual value would result in a reduced depreciation charge in the profit and loss account.
The useful lives and residual value of the Company's assets are determined by management at the time the asset is acquired and reviewed annually for appropriates. The lives are based on historical experience with similar assets as well as anticipation of future events which may impact their life such as changes in technology.
Historically changes in useful lives and residual values have not resulted in material changes to the Company's depreciation charge.
The Company owns a property (Land and Building) which is utilized for both its operations and also letting to other related parties. Due to the inability to reliably assess and allocate the fair value of the asset amongst the investment property and Property, Plant and Equipment element, this has been accounted for as Property, Plant and Equipment under FRS 102.
3.4. Turnover
Turnover represents, the amounts receivable for airtime services and mobile accessories supplied by the Company, and from the provision of marketing support services to related party companies.
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for goods and services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes. The fair value of consideration takes into account trade discounts, settlement discounts, volume rebates, as well as, commission payments, incentives, bonus, free credits and usage deferments (deferred income).
When cash inflows are deferred and represent a financing arrangement, the fair value of the consideration is the present value of the future receipts. The difference between the fair value of the consideration and the nominal amount received is recognised as inlerest income.
Revenue from the sale of mobile accessorles is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have passed to the buyer (usually on dispatch of the goods), the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
Revenue from the provision of support services is recognised when the services is provided and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
The Company adopts a transfer pricing basis of cost plus a mark-up of 3.4% for the services provided to Related Party Companies.
3.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold Over 50 years
Leasehold Straight line over the lease term
Plant & Machinery Over 4 years
Motor Vehicles Over 4 years
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 credited or charged to profit or loss.
The assets’ residual value, 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.
Page 12
Page 13
3.6. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
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 pattem in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.
3.7. 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. The Company does not have any cash equivalents.
3.8. Financial Instruments
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors , trade and other creditors and loans to related parties.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other trade debtors and creditors, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.
Interest Income
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest- bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to profit or loss over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date. 
3.9. Foreign Currencies
Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.
Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of comprehensive income within 'finance income or costs'.
All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.
Page 13
Page 14
3.10. 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 company'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.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that: The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.
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 when the company has 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.
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 vatues of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax.
3.11. Provisions and Contingencies
Provisions are recognised when the company has a legal or constructive present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that the company 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 is 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.
Page 14
Page 15
3.12. 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 of 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.
3.13. Impairment of fixed assets
Al each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible 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 impalrment 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-ganerating unit to which the asset belongs.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in us, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their presant value using a pre-tax discount rate that refects 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 canying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recogniised 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.
3.14. Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabitities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
3.15. Retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position.
The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
