Strategic Report
Year ended 30 July 2025
Fair review of the business
The directors present the strategic report for the year ended 30 July 2025. The financial results for the year must be considered in the context of the significant strategic and operational changes undertaken as part of the TechPoint Group's restructuring programme. Historically, the company fulfilled two distinct roles: 1. Operating the legacy "Vanilla" business, providing supply chain solutions and certain electronics manufacturing services (EMS); and 2. Acting as the Group's shared services entity, hosting core central functions and a substantial proportion of the Group's overhead cost base. This dual role meant that the company's income and cost base did not move in parallel and therefore did not reflect the underlying performance of any specific trading activity. Operational realignment in August 2024 In August 2024, the Group took the strategic decision to realign activities to ensure each business unit was focused on its core strengths. As part of this realignment: - All manufacturing activities previously undertaken by this company were transferred to the Group's dedicated EMS businesses, where scale, capability, process maturity and best practice are more appropriately embedded to optimise customer experience and business efficiencies. - The company's remaining focus was directed towards building a clear and market-differentiated Supply Chain as a Service (SCaaS) offering. This enabled the business to develop a compelling, specialist value proposition centred around: - Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) - Obsolescence management - Kanban and inventory flow optimisation - Complex component sourcing - Strategic supply chain problem-solving These changes were highly positive strategically but required the business to operate with a transitioning revenue base while still absorbing the bulk of central support costs on behalf of the Group. Transfer of supply chain solutions activity during the year As part of the Group's wider restructuring programme to simplify the legal entity structure and consolidate all trading activities into a single operational trading entity, the Supply Chain Solutions trade and assets were transferred from the company to TechPoint Electronic Solutions Limited with effect from 1 July 2025. Following this transfer, the company ceased external trading and now operates exclusively as a shared services and central cost centre. Impact on financial performance The combined effect of: - the August 2024 strategic realignment, - the transfer-out of manufacturing activity, - the in-year transfer-out of the supply chain solutions business, - and the absorption of Group overheads within this entity, means that the company's reported revenue and operating results do not reflect the underlying health or performance of either the EMS operations or the SCaaS model. Instead, they reflect a deliberate and planned restructuring step within the Group The results for the year also include the impact of a £500,000 non-recurring loss arising from the waiver of an intercompany receivable, which was undertaken as part of the Group restructuring programme.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks affecting the company relate to: Liquidity and funding risk The company relies on Group support and access to Group treasury resources. These risks are mitigated through central Group cash flow forecasting and committed support arrangements from the parent undertaking. Operational transition risk The move to consolidate all trading activities into a single entity carries execution and alignment risks. These are mitigated through structured governance, clear project planning and active oversight by the Group leadership team. Inflationary cost pressures The Group manages these through supplier negotiation, cost control, commercial adjustments and operational efficiencies. Credit risk Credit exposure is managed in line with Group policies. The intercompany waiver represents a strategic restructuring action, not a deterioration in credit quality. Geopolitical risk The company and group operates within global electronics supply chains which may be impacted by geopolitical developments, including conflict in the Middle East. Potential impacts include disruption to component availability, increased logistics costs and volatility in energy and input prices. These risks are mitigated through diversified sourcing strategies, strong supplier relationships and proactive inventory management across the Group.
Key performance indicators
Given the significant structural changes undertaken during the year and the company's evolving role, traditional year-on-year KPIs are not directly meaningful. Instead, the Directors monitor: - Shared service cost levels and recoverability - Efficiency of central functions - Delivery of the Group restructuring milestones - Transfer and integration timelines across the Group Future developments The company will continue to operate as a shared services and central support function for the TechPoint Group. No further trading activities are expected. The ongoing Group restructuring is expected to be completed during 2026, after which the company's structure and purpose will be reviewed in line with Group operational requirements and may result in further streamlining or dormancy.

Directors' Responsibilities Statement
Year ended 30 July 2025
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, directors' report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: - select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; - make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; - 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 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. They are 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.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of TechPoint Shared Services Limited
Year ended 30 July 2025
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of TechPoint Shared Services Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 July 2025 which comprise the income statement, statement of financial position, 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 FRS 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 company's affairs as at 30 July 2025 and of its loss for the year then ended; - have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; - have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information. 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 there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 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 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or - 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; or - we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. 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: Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows: - the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; - we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the company and sector in which it operates; - we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006 and taxation legislation. - we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and - identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit. We assessed the susceptibility of the company's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by: - making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud; and - considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations. To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we: - performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships; - tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions; - assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates set out in Note 3 were indicative of potential bias; and - investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions. In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to: - agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; - enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and - reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the company's legal advisors. There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion. 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 on the effectiveness of the 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 auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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. 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 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.

TechPoint Shared Services Limited
(formerly Techpoint Supply Chain Solutions Limited)
Notes to the Financial Statements
Year ended 30 July 2025
1. General information
The company is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Unit One, Mundford Road Trading Estate, Thetford, Norfolk, IP24 1HX.
2. Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in compliance with FRS 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'.
3. Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basisThe financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity. Going concern On 1 July 2025, the company transferred its Supply Chain Solutions trade and operational assets to TechPoint Electronic Solutions Limited as part of the wider TechPoint Group restructuring programme to consolidate trading activities into a single operational entity. Following this transfer, the company ceased external trading activities but continues to operate as a shared services and central cost centre, providing administrative, procurement and support functions to other Group companies. The company reports a loss for the year and has net liabilities at the reporting date. As a shared services entity, the company is dependent on ongoing financial support from the wider TechPoint Group in order to meet its obligations as they fall due. The Group operates a centralised treasury model, and the company's activities and costs are funded through intra-group arrangements. In forming their view on going concern, the Directors have considered: - the financial performance, liquidity and cash generation of the TechPoint Group as a whole; - the Group's consolidated cash flow forecasts covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements; - the continued role of the company as a central support function within the Group; and - the letter of support received from the parent undertaking, confirming that financial support will be made available for at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Taking these factors into account, the Directors consider that the company has adequate financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. Disclosure exemptions The entity satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. Its financial statements are consolidated into the financial statements of TechPoint Group Limited which can be obtained from Companies House. As such, advantage has been taken of the following disclosure exemptions available under paragraph 1.12 of FRS 102: (a) Disclosures in respect of each class of share capital have not been presented. (b) No cash flow statement has been presented for the company. (c) Disclosures in respect of financial instruments have not been presented. (d) No disclosure has been given for the aggregate remuneration of key management personnel. Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty In the application of the 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 year in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects any that year, or in the year of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods. Key sources of estimation uncertainty 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. 1) Depreciation charge The annual depreciation charge for each class of tangible fixed asset is based on an estimate of the useful economic life of the respective assets. This is reviewed periodically by the directors to ensure that they reflect both the external and internal factors. 2) Stock provision The company sells products which are subject to changing consumer demands. As a result it is necessary to consider the recoverability of the cost of the stock and the associated provision required. When calculating the provision, management considers the nature and age of the stock as well as applying assumptions around anticipated saleability of stock. 3) Dilapidation provision A provision for dilapidation costs has been included based on the best estimate of costs to be incurred at the end of the lease to reinstate the condition of the company's leased premises. This has been based on third party surveyor reports and discounting to amortised cost applying an appropriate rate. 4) Warranty provision A warranty provision for finished goods is included in the financial statements based on expected returns . Revenue recognition Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable and represents amounts receivable for goods supplied and services rendered, stated net of discounts and of Value Added Tax. Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, usually on despatch of the goods, the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the entity, and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transactions can be measured reliably. Income tax The taxation expense represents the aggregate amount of current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. In this case, tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively. Current tax is recognised on taxable profit for the current and past periods. Current tax is measured at the amounts of tax expected to pay or recover using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all material timing differences at the reporting date. Unrelieved tax losses and other 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. Deferred tax is measured using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. Foreign currencies Foreign currency transactions are initially recorded in the functional currency, by applying the spot exchange rate as at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rate ruling at the reporting date, with any gains or losses being taken to the profit and loss account. Operating leases Lease payments are recognised as an expense over the lease term on a straight-line basis. The aggregate benefit of lease incentives is recognised as a reduction to expense over the lease term, on a straight-line basis. Tangible assets Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses. Depreciation Depreciation is calculated so as to write off the cost or valuation of an asset, less its residual value, over the useful economic life of that asset as follows:
Short leasehold property - To break point in the lease
Plant and machinery - 15% straight line
Fixtures and fittings - 25% straight line
Motor vehicles - 25% straight line
Equipment - 25% straight line
Impairment of fixed assets At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).
Stocks
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost comprises direct materials and, where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the stocks to their present location and condition. At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.
Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the entity has an obligation at the reporting date as a result of a past event, it is probable that the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. Provisions are recognised as a liability in the statement of financial position and the amount of the provision as an expense.
Defined contribution plans
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in the period in which the related service is provided. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a reduction in future payments or a cash refund.
