| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| Fair review of the Group's business |
| During the financial year ended 31 December 2025, Leadscale Limited delivered a strong recovery in financial performance, reflecting both improved market conditions and the strategic actions taken by management during the previous year. Following the challenging trading environment experienced in 2024, the Group entered 2025 with a renewed focus on operational efficiency, profitability and the continued development of its long-term growth initiatives. |
| Group revenue increased by 12% to £14.8 million compared with £13.2 million in the previous year. Net revenue increased by 19% to £5.4 million, demonstrating the strength of the Group's client relationships and the effectiveness of its service delivery model. This growth was achieved while maintaining total operational costs at broadly the same level as the prior year, resulting in a significant improvement in profitability. |
| The Group reported a profit before dividends of approximately £488,000, representing a substantial turnaround from the loss of approximately £486,000 reported in 2024. This improvement was achieved through disciplined cost management, improved operational execution and stronger trading performance across the Group's core business activities. |
| The Group continued to invest in the development of the Leadscale Engine Gen5 platform throughout the year. Significant progress was made in refining the platform's capabilities, architecture and commercial positioning. Management remains confident that Gen5 will provide a differentiated technology offering capable of supporting future growth opportunities across both existing and new markets. |
| The Board was particularly pleased that the return to profitability enabled the Group to distribute a dividend to shareholders during the year. The Group maintained a strong balance sheet and closed the period with cash reserves of approximately £2 million. |
| Principal Risks and Uncertainties |
| The Group continues to operate within a dynamic and competitive marketplace influenced by broader economic conditions and fluctuations in client marketing expenditure. Customer concentration risk, foreign exchange exposure and changing technology purchasing patterns remain areas of ongoing focus. |
| The rapid emergence of artificial intelligence technologies presents both opportunities and risks across the markets in which the Group operates. Whilst AI is expected to create significant efficiency gains for many organisations, it also introduces uncertainty for certain client sectors and business models. Publicly listed companies operating in areas such as business intelligence, data visualisation and analytics software continue to face increasing investor scrutiny regarding the long-term impact of AI-enabled alternatives on future growth prospects. Such concerns can influence market valuations, investment priorities and technology purchasing decisions, potentially affecting marketing expenditure and demand generation activity across the Group's client base. |
| The Group continues to monitor these developments closely and enters 2026 with a strong balance sheet, healthy liquidity and a proven ability to adapt to changing market conditions. |
| Analysis Using Financial Key Performance Indicators |
| The Group achieved revenue growth of 12% during the year, increasing turnover from £13.2 million in 2024 to £14.8 million in 2025. Net revenue increased by 19% from £4.6 million to £5.4 million. |
| Total operational costs were maintained at levels broadly consistent with the prior year despite inflationary pressures and continued investment in strategic initiatives. This resulted in a profit before dividends of approximately £488,000, compared with a loss of approximately £486,000 in the previous year. |
| The Group continued to invest in the Leadscale Engine Gen5 project throughout the year. The Group maintained a strong liquidity position and ended the year with approximately £2 million in cash reserves. |
| Future Developments of the Group |
| The continued development and commercialisation of the Leadscale Engine Gen5 platform remains the Group's primary strategic growth initiative. |
| LEADSCALE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08650664) |
| Group Strategic Report |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| The Board remains encouraged by the progress achieved within Leadscale Inc. Although the investment required to establish the Group's United States operation has not yet generated positive financial returns, significant progress was made during 2025 in identifying and securing a number of foundational client relationships. These accounts provide an important platform from which to scale the US business and increase recurring revenue. As a result, the Group expects Leadscale Inc. to move materially closer to breakeven during 2026 and anticipates selectively increasing sales capacity within the United States to support future growth, with a target of profitability during 2027. |
| Artificial intelligence also presents substantial opportunities for the Group. Over many years, LeadScale has accumulated a significant repository of campaign configurations, operational workflows and process outcomes. This creates a unique foundation for the development of expert agentic solutions capable of assisting self-service users in the implementation and optimisation of demand generation campaigns. During 2026, management expects to advance intelligent agent technologies designed to guide customers through complex campaign implementation processes whilst maintaining high standards of quality, governance and accuracy. |
| These developments have the potential to expand the Group's addressable market significantly and strengthen its position within the SaaS sector. Management believes that the combination of automation, operational accuracy and lower delivery costs will create opportunities to gain market share and develop attractive new pricing models. |
| The Board further believes that the architecture of Leadscale Engine Gen5 is particularly well positioned to support the next generation of enterprise data operations. Built within Microsoft Azure and supported by ISO27001-aligned governance principles, the platform has been designed to orchestrate increasingly sophisticated data journeys across multiple systems, stakeholders and business processes. Management refers to these as composable journeys: flexible, configurable workflows capable of assembling disparate technologies, data assets and operational processes into coherent and auditable outcomes. |
| Beyond the Group's established expertise in lead and demand generation, management believes there is a growing market opportunity to support clients seeking automated first-party data solutions. The Group's heritage in clean-room style data environments, together with the highly granular user and permissions architecture embedded within Leadscale Engine Gen5, provides a strong foundation for these future services. The platform's multi-tenant and increasingly multi-agent architecture is expected to enable organisations to deploy both human and AI-assisted workflows within secure governance frameworks. |
| Whilst the Group expects the first half of 2026 to be loss-making due to a temporary reduction in revenue levels, management remains confident that performance will improve during the second half of the year. The financial recovery achieved during 2025, together with the Group's strong cash position, has provided the resources necessary to continue investing in technology, automation and product innovation. Management believes these investments will position Leadscale to capitalise on emerging market opportunities and support sustainable growth over the next five years. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| LEADSCALE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08650664) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2025. |
| DIVIDENDS |
| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 January 2025 to the date of this report. |
| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements 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 and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Whitemoor Audit LLP, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Leadscale Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Leadscale Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, 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 affairs as at 31 December 2025 and of the group's profit 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. |
| 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 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 group's and 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 directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| 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 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. |
| 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Leadscale Limited |
| 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 Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Leadscale Limited |
| 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 a Report of the Auditors 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. |
| 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 and engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations; |
| We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks that are applicable to the company and affect on the financial statements or the operations of the company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation; we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management. |
| The 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 on 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 measures 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 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 that were |
| indicative of potential bias. |
| - Performed substantive testing on management expenses and 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 available correspondence with HMRC 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 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. |
| 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 Report of the Auditors. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Leadscale Limited |
| 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 a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Leadscale Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| The financial statements are prepared to the nearest whole £ GBP. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| 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. Inter-company 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 Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are de-consolidated from the date control ceases. |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The Group has recognised leads as stock with a carrying value of £287,184. The leads are initially recognized at cost and are subsequently adjusted to net realizable value at the year end at the following rates: |
| a. Cost incurred up to 7 months prior to the year - 0% net realisable |
| b. Cost incurred up to 8 months prior to the year - 10% net realisable |
| c. Cost incurred up to 9 months prior to the year - 25% net realisable |
| d. Cost incurred up to 10 months prior to the year - 50% net realisable |
| e. Cost incurred up to 11 months prior to the year - 75% net realisable |
| f. Cost incurred during last month of year end - 90% net realisable |
| The directors have used their knowledge of the business to determine the point at which the data held in a lead becomes obsolete and have determine the write down rates that they believe to be reasonable estimates of the value of leads. |

| Revenue |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Revenue is recognised to the extend that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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 service |
| 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 the following conditions are satisfied: |
| - the amount of revenue can be measured reliably |
| - it is probable that the Company 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. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Fixtures and fittings | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Investment property |
| Investment property is shown at most recent valuation. Any aggregate surplus or deficit arising from changes in fair value is recognised in profit or loss. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Financial instruments |
| The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |

| Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued |
| for the Year Ended 31 December 2025 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
| Exceptional items |
| Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Group but are presented separately due to their size or incurrence. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the group's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
| Share based payments |
| Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition. |
| The value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme). |
| Where the terms and conditions of option are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period. |
| Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received. |
| 3. | TURNOVER |
| The turnover and profit (2024 - loss) before taxation are attributable to the one principal activity of the group. |

| The controlling party is R J Caller. |
| 20. | SHARE-BASED PAYMENT TRANSACTIONS |
| The Group is party to an Enterprise Management Incentive Option Scheme as part of its incentive and retention strategy. |
| Under the option scheme, the parent company, at its discretion, may grant share options over its ordinary shares to employees of the parent company and its subsidiaries. The share options generally vest over 36 months, either from inception or from the first anniversary of grant, provided the holder remains in employment. There are no performance conditions. The exercise price of the share option is equal to the market price of the underlying shares on the date of grant. The contractual term of the share option is 10 years and there are no cash settlement alternatives. |
| The fair value of the option is estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes pricing model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted, and the estimated share price volatility of the company relative to that of its competitors. The expected life of the share option is based on the current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. The expected volatility was determined by referring to the share price of a selection of comparable publicly quoted companies. |
