DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. Under company law the Directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the 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 to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The loss for the year, after taxation, amounted to £144,221 (2024 - profit of £394,288).
The Directors declared dividends of £6,000,000 (2024 - £Nil).
The Directors who served during the year were:
The company has no plans for future development at this time.

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Price Risk
The Company faces minimal price risk, as its material revenue sources are priced in accordance with pre agreed contractual terms. Credit Risk The Company’s credit risk is minimal because debts are contractually cleared monthly to external customers. This structure ensures no material exposure to non-payment risks associated with staffing services. All other debts of the Company relate to Group companies for which managment do not see a significant risk as to recovery. Liquidity risk and Cashflow risk Management manages liquidity and cashflow risk through cash reserves and retained profit. The Company is part of wider group and additional liquidity could be provided, if needed, by other group companies. Foreign exchange risk Foreign exchange risk relates to intercompany balances with other group companies. Management do not hedge this risk as they do not believe this to be a significant risk to the operations of the Company. Interest rate risk The Company’s interest rate risk is limited to intercompany accounts, which are non-interest-bearing and has no external debt exposed to market rate fluctuations.
The business review and principal risks and uncertainties of the business have been included in the strategic report.
There have been no significant events affecting the Company since the year end.

GRACECHURCH BELLYARD LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GRACECHURCH BELLYARD LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Gracechurch Bellyard Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Cash Flows and the related notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
∙give a true and fair view of the state of the Company's affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of its loss for the year then ended;
∙have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
∙have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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.
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.

GRACECHURCH BELLYARD LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GRACECHURCH BELLYARD 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. We have identified the greatest risk of a material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to relate to the timing and recognition of revenue and the override of controls by management. We have obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that the Company operates within including both those that directly have an impact on the financial statements and more widely those for which non-compliance could have a significant impact on the Company's operations and reputation. The Companies Act 2006, UK Tax Legislation, General Data Protection Legislation, Employment Legislation, and UK Health and Safety Regulations are what we identified in this regard. Auditing standards limit the required procedures as to non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiries of those charged with governance and review of any applicable correspondence.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
∙Assessing the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatements by obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur.
∙Enquiring of management and those charged with governance as to actual and potential litigation and claims and testing of internal controls in place, where applicable, to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations.
∙Identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, by identifying the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with management and reviewing inspection reports, where applicable, to ensure that no breaches have incurred that would have a reputational, operational or financial impact on the Company.
∙Reviewing financial statement disclosures and testing to supporting documentation to assess compliance with applicable laws and regulations, as well as reviewing minutes of meetings of those charged with Governance, where available.
∙Performing audit work over the risk of timing and recognition of income, including analytical procedures to ensure completeness and substantive procedures to ensure accuracy, based on the requirements of accounting standards.
∙Performing audit work over the risk of management override of controls, including testing of journal entries and other adjustments for appropriateness, evaluating the business rationale of significant transactions outside the normal course of business, and performing analytical procedures to identify any significant unusual or unexpected transactions or relationships
∙Reviewing and challenging assumptions and judgement made by management in their accounting estimates for bias, specifically those relating to revenue recognition, provisions

GRACECHURCH BELLYARD LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF GRACECHURCH BELLYARD LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' Report.
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an Auditors' Report and for no other purpose. 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.
