STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
Founded in 1997, Finders Genealogists Limited, ‘Finders International’ has grown from a small UK-based firm into one of the world’s most respected probate genealogy companies, assisting legal professionals, the public sector, and private individuals in tracing missing heirs, locating assets, and resolving complex estate matters across the globe.
Finders International combines speed, accuracy, and professionalism to deliver accurate and reliable results. The dedicated team of expert genealogists and researchers operates worldwide, using advanced tools and vast networks to solve even the most challenging cases. The Company offers transparent, risk-free pricing options including contingency based services, acting as a trusted partner to its network. On 24 May 2024, the Company underwent a change in ownership after India Topco Limited, backed by Pelican Capital LLP, acquired a 100% interest, providing both capital and strategic support to accelerate growth and drive long-term value creation.
The Company achieved strong revenue growth of 10%, with turnover of £11,957k (2025: £10,860k).
This growth reflects the successful execution of strategic initiatives, including continued investment in technology, a focus on building and maintaining strong professional networks, and an unwavering commitment to service quality. Key drivers of growth included: • Ongoing development and integration of proprietary technology to improve research accuracy and speed and enable process efficiencies; • Expansion of strategic relationships across the legal, professional and public sectors; • Reinforcement of the Company’s reputation as a reliable and ethical partner within the probate sector. The gross profit margin for the year was 41% (2025: 33%), demonstrating a robust underlying business model supported by operational efficiency and client trust. During the previous financial year, the Company incurred exceptional non-recurring costs in relation to making a provision against an intercompany loan to a subsidiary, reflecting its strategic view of the subsidiary as a core component of future operations rather than a standalone entity. With the effects of the COVID pandemic on the probate genealogy market now passed, the Company maintained steady operations and enhanced its market position. The directors consider the overall performance for the year to be strong and aligned with long-term objectives, with a clear foundation for future growth. The financial position of the Company continues to be strong at the year end with a healthy cash balance, while net assets remain in excess of £2,823k.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JANUARY 2026
The management of the business is subject to a number of risks. The key business risks and uncertainties are considered to relate to cyber risk and a variety of financial risks.
The Company continues to actively address cyber risk by strengthening internal controls and data security measures, supported by ongoing investment in cybersecurity infrastructure and technology. The Company’s operations expose it to a variety of financial risks that include price risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Company has in place a risk management program that seeks to limit adverse effects on the financial performance of the Company.
The Company's principal financial assets consist of cash at bank and trade debtors. The Company's credit risk mainly arises from its trade debtors and is closely managed through stringent credit control procedures. However, the Company retains certain risks and rewards associated with these trade debtors. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of impairment and expected credit loss provision.
The cash balance at the year end was £933k which provides the Company with adequate working capital. The directors recognise the importance of funding and liquidity under the current economic climate and will continue to monitor the Company's financial resources to ensure that the Company is able to support its activities and future growth.
The Company enters the new financial year with a strong platform for continued growth and operational improvement. Under new ownership, strategic focus will remain on delivering a high standard of service to clients across the probate genealogy sector, expanding market presence and driving efficiency.
A key area of investment will continue to be technology. The Company is committed to enhancing its proprietary systems and research tools to deliver greater precision and efficiency in case handling, enabling faster resolution times and improved outcomes for clients. These improvements are expected to increase internal efficiency and support scalable growth, allowing the Company to manage greater volumes while maintaining quality and compliance standards. The market for probate genealogy services remains stable, with opportunities driven by demographic trends,steadily growing estate values, and a growing need for professional expertise in estate matters. The Company continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner to the legal, professional, and public sectors built on a reputation for integrity, responsiveness, and high-quality service. Deepening engagement with legal professionals and expanding its referral network remain strategic priorities, alongside sustaining the high levels of reliability and discretion that underpin its work. While external risks such as regulatory changes and competition remain, the directors are confident in the Company’s strategic direction and long-term prospects.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FINDERS GENEALOGISTS LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Finders Genealogists Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 January 2026, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FINDERS GENEALOGISTS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report other than the financial statements and our Auditors' Report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the Annual Report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FINDERS GENEALOGISTS LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 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:
∙Ensuring that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙We identified the laws and regulations applicable to the company through discussions with directors, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the relevant sector;
∙The specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, are as follows - Companies Act 2006. FRS 102, Employment legislation and Tax legislation;
∙We assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence;
∙Laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team at the planning meeting, and the audit 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;
∙Reviewing the financial statements and testing the disclosures against supporting documentation;
∙Performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected trends or anomalies;
∙Inspecting and testing journal entries to identify unusual or unexpected transactions;
∙Assessing whether judgement and assumptions made in determining significant accounting estimates were indicative of management bias.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The Company has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company 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 Company'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 Company after the deduction of all its liabilities. Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties. Critical judgments in applying the entity’s accounting policies No significant judgments have had to be made by management in preparing these financial statements. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions (i) Long-term contracts Profit on contracts is taken as the work is carried out if the final outcome can be assessed with reasonable certainty. (ii) Useful economic lives of tangible assets and intangible assets The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets and intangible assets are sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are reassessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. See note 13 for the carrying amount of the property plant and equipment, note 12 for the carrying amount of intangible fixed assets, note 2.6 and note 2.7 for the useful economic lives for each class of assets. (iii) Impairment of debtors The Company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade and other debtors. When assessing impairment of trade and other debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. See note 15 for the net carrying amount of the debtors.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal activities of the business.
An analysis of turnover by geographical area is not given as, in the opinion of the directors, such disclosure would be seriously prejudicial to the interest of the company.
