GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Introduction
 
The directors present their strategic report for the period ended 31 December 2025.

The company was incorporated on 29 October 2024 and the financial statements have been prepared for a 14 month period.

Business review
 
Vertex Agility International Limited (the “Group”) is an international technology consulting and workforce solutions business specialising in software engineering, cloud, data and digital transformation services.

The Group supports enterprise clients across financial services, technology, professional services and online platforms through a combination of agile delivery teams, specialist consulting capability and international resource solutions. The Group operates through a blended nearshore and offshore delivery model, enabling clients to scale high-quality engineering capability efficiently across multiple jurisdictions.

The Group operates principally through three core businesses:
• Vertex Solutions International Limited (“VSIL”), the Group’s principal UK operating company and client-facing consulting entity;
• Vertex Agility Limited (“VAL”), focused on specialist delivery and contractor engagement services; and
• Vertex Solutions sp. z o.o., the Group’s European delivery centre based in Poland.

Together, these operations provide the Group with a scalable international delivery capability supporting multinational clients across the United Kingdom and Europe.

Principal risks and uncertainties
 
The directors continue to monitor a range of commercial and operational risks affecting the Group and the wider technology consulting market.

Key areas of focus include:
• broader macroeconomic conditions and client spending patterns;
• competition within the international technology services market;
• contractor and talent availability;
• foreign exchange exposure relating to international operations; and
• evolving technology and AI-driven disruption across the sector.

The directors believe the Group’s diversified client base, international delivery capability, strong operational controls and flexible cost structure position the business well to manage these risks effectively.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Financial key performance indicators
 
The directors are pleased to report that 2025 was a year of strong strategic progress and materially improved profitability for the Group.

While broader market conditions across the technology consulting sector remained challenging during the year, the Group continued to execute successfully against its strategy of improving delivery quality, increasing operational efficiency and focusing on higher-value client engagements.

The Group delivered a substantial increase in profitability during 2025, supported by:
• improved gross margin quality;
• tighter operational controls;
• continued expansion of the Group’s European delivery capability; and
• a strategic focus on long-term client relationships and managed delivery programmes.

VSIL delivered a particularly strong improvement in operating performance during the year. Although revenue reduced compared to the prior year as the business deliberately exited lower-margin engagements, profitability increased significantly as a result of improved contract quality, enhanced delivery efficiency and a substantial reduction in overhead costs. Administrative expenses reduced materially during the period, demonstrating the success of the Group’s operational efficiency programme and disciplined cost management approach.

VAL continued to operate profitably throughout the year and maintained a focused operating model centred around a select portfolio of strategic customer relationships. The company generated healthy margins and continued to contribute positively to Group profitability and working capital generation.

The Group’s Polish operation delivered an exceptional performance during 2025, with strong revenue and profit growth year-on-year. The business continued to scale its engineering and contractor delivery capability while expanding relationships with several international clients. Poland remains a strategically important delivery hub for the Group and provides a highly scalable operational platform for future European growth.

Across the Group, the directors remained focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet and prudent cash management. The Group ended the year with significantly strengthened retained earnings and improved operational efficiency, providing a solid platform for continued investment and expansion.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

Strategic Development
 
During 2025, the Group continued its transition toward a more integrated technology consulting and managed delivery model.

Key strategic initiatives during the year included:

Managed Services and Outcome-Based Delivery
The Group continued to evolve its service offering beyond traditional resource augmentation toward higher-value managed services and outcome-based delivery engagements. This included increased focus on project-based delivery, agile engineering teams and embedded technology consulting capability. This strategic shift has improved both margin quality and the depth of client relationships across key accounts.

European Expansion
The continued growth of the Group’s Polish operation remains central to the Group’s long-term strategy. During the year, the Group invested further in operational capability, contractor management processes and client delivery functions within Poland.
The directors believe the Group’s blended UK and Central European delivery model provides a strong competitive advantage in an increasingly cost-conscious and globally distributed market.

Operational Efficiency
The Group undertook a comprehensive operational efficiency programme during 2025, including tighter overhead management, improved utilisation of delivery resources and greater integration across Group entities.
These initiatives materially improved profitability and enhanced the Group’s ability to scale efficiently.

Technology and AI Enablement
The Group continued to invest in AI-enabled delivery capability and operational automation throughout the year. The directors believe advances in AI, automation and software engineering productivity tools will continue to reshape the technology consulting sector over the coming years.
The Group is positioning itself proactively to leverage these developments through AI-augmented delivery models, operational tooling and enhanced engineering productivity across its service lines.

People and Culture

The directors recognise that the Group’s people remain its most important asset.

The Group continues to attract and retain highly skilled consultants, engineers and operational specialists across both the United Kingdom and Poland. The commitment and expertise of the Group’s teams were fundamental to the strong performance delivered during 2025.

The Group remains committed to fostering a high-performance and collaborative culture, supported by competitive remuneration structures, performance incentives, pension arrangements and ongoing professional development opportunities.

Headcount across the Group increased during the year in line with the continued expansion of the European delivery operation and broader growth objectives.

Outlook

The Board enters 2026 with confidence in the Group’s strategic direction and future growth prospects.

The Group’s priorities for the year ahead include:
• continued expansion of the Polish delivery operation;
• growth in higher-value managed services and consulting engagements;
• investment in AI-enabled delivery capability and operational tooling;
• strengthening existing enterprise client relationships; and

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

• selective expansion into new markets and customer segments.

The directors believe the Group is well-positioned to continue growing profitably while capitalising on the increasing global demand for flexible, high-quality technology delivery capability.

The Board remains confident in the long-term outlook for the Group and looks forward to reporting further progress in the years ahead.


This report was approved by the board on 16 July 2026 and signed on its behalf.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VERTEX AGILITY INTERNATIONAL LIMITED
 

Opinion


We have audited the financial statements of Vertex Agility International Limited (the 'Parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the period ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Consolidated statement of income and retained earnings, the Consolidated analysis of net debt, the Consolidated balance sheet, the Company balance sheet, the Consolidated statement of cash flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policiesThe 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 December 2025 and of the Group's profit for the period 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.

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 ReportOur 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 period 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.

Responsibilities of directors
 

As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement set out on page 5, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF VERTEX AGILITY INTERNATIONAL 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:
the nature of the industry and sector, control environment and business performance including the
remuneration incentives and pressures of key management;

the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with
governance of the entity and management. We consider the results of our enquiries of management about
their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities;

any matters we identified having obtained and reviewed the Company's documentation of their policies
and procedures relating to:
°identifying, evaluating and complying with laws and regulations and whether they were aware of any
instances of non-compliance;
°detecting and responding to the risks of fraud and whether they have knowledge of any actual
suspected or alleged fraud;
°the internal controls established to mitigate risks of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations;

the matters discussed among the audit engagement team regarding how and where fraud might occur in
the financial statements and any potential indicators of fraud.

As a result of these procedures, we considered the oppurtunities and incentives that may exist within the
organisation for fraud and identified the greatest potential for fraud. In common with all audits under ISAs (UK),
we are also required to perform specific procedures to respond to the risk of management override, including
testing journals and evaluating whether there was evidence of bias by the directors that represented a risk of
material misstatement due to fraud.

We also obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates in,
focusing on provisions of those laws and regulations that had a direct effect on the determination of material
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. We focused on laws and regulations that could give rise
to a material misstatement in the financial statements, including, but not limited to, the Companies Act 2006,
and relevant tax legislation.
 
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.


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

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

1.


General information

Vertex Agility International Limited is a company limited by shares and incorporated in England and Wales within the United Kingdom. The address of the company’s registered office First Floor, Radius House, 51 Clarendon Road, Watford, United Kingdom, WD17 1HP. 
   
The company's principal activity is that of a holding company. The Group's principal activity is the provision of technology consulting and workforce solutions.

The financial statements are presented in sterling which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.

The significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented unless otherwise stated.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

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 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 income and retained earnings in these financial statements.

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
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 Balance sheet, 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 income and retained earnings from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the Group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 01 January 2025.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 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 operate for the foreseeable future and will be able to meet its liabilities as they fall due. 

In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the directors have considered the Group's financial position, liquidity and ability to generate future cash flows. Based on this assessment, the directors believe that the Group has sufficient resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future.

 
2.4

Foreign currency translation

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 Consolidated statement of income and retained earnings within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

On consolidation, the results of overseas operations are translated into Sterling at rates approximating to those ruling when the transactions took place. All assets and liabilities of overseas operations are translated at the rate ruling at the reporting date. Exchange differences arising on translating the opening net assets at opening rate and the results of overseas operations at actual rate are recognised in other comprehensive income.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.5

Revenue

Revenue 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. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

On a monthly basis, work performed by contractors are approved by the customer. At this point revenue is then recognised for services performed.

 
2.6

Operating leases: the Group as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss 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, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.7

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.8

Finance costs

Finance costs are charged to profit or loss 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.9

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 profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.

 
2.10

Taxation

Tax is recognised in profit or loss 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 balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.


 
2.11

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 income and retained earnings 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.

At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

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.

 The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Goodwill
-
10
years

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.12

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.

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:

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 profit or loss.

 
2.13

Valuation of investments

Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

 
2.14

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.

 
2.15

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.

 
2.16

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.17

Financial instruments

The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Balance sheet when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets

Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.

Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.

Basic financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the

risks and rewards retained.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

 
2.18

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.


3.


Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

Positive goodwill - Where a company cannot reliably estimate the useful life of goodwill, it should be amortized over a maximum period of 10 years. For this reason, the directors have applied judgement in estimating a write off period of 10 years.

Related party transactions

During the year, the Company issued unsecured loan notes totalling £10,859,500 to a connected party in connection with a management buyout. The loan notes bear interest at 1% per annum, which is considered to be below a market rate of interest. Although the interest rate represents a low interest coupon, the transaction was undertaken as part of an arm’s length commercial arrangement, and accordingly no adjustment has been made to introduce a market based discount factor in measuring the financial liability under FRS 102.

Controlling party

At the balance sheet date the controlling party of the group was M Beard.
