| Strategic Report |
| for the Period 20 November 2024 to 31 December 2025 |
| The directors present their strategic report for the period 20 November 2024 to 31 December 2025. |
| Review of business |
| The principal activity of the Company is that of an investment holding company within the Adapt IT group. During the period ended 31 December 2025, the Company continued to support the growth of its portfolio business through capital allocation, strategic oversight and operational governance. |
| A significant focus during the year was the integration and development of the Angaza acquisition and the evaluation of further strategic investment opportunities aligned with the Group's long-term growth strategy. The directors are satisfied with the overall performance and financial position of the Company during the period. |
| Principal risks and uncertainties |
| The Company is exposed to a number of risks and uncertainties which are managed through established governance and oversight processes. Key risks include: |
| -Investment valuation risk arising from the performance of underlying portfolio companies; |
| -Economic and geopolitical uncertainty in territories where portfolio companies operate; |
| -Cybersecurity and technology risks affecting underlying investments; and |
| -Regulatory and compliance risks across multiple jurisdictions. |
| The Board regularly reviews these risks and implements appropriate mitigation measures where necessary. |
| Key Performance Indicators |
| As an investment holding company, the directors monitor a number of key performance indicators including net asset value, the carrying value of investments, dividend income generated from subsidiary undertakings, overall profitability and available cash resources. During the period ended 31 December 2025, the Company was incorporated and acquisitions totalling £69.3 million were completed, dividend income received was £11.1 million, profit after taxation was £10.1 million and the Company maintained cash balances of £198,826. These indicators are considered by the Board to be the most relevant measures of the Company's performance and financial position. |
| On behalf of the board: |
| ADAPT IT GROUP HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 16092247) |
| Report of the Directors |
| for the Period 20 November 2024 to 31 December 2025 |
| The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period 20 November 2024 to 31 December 2025. |
| Incorporation |
| The company was incorporated on 20 November 2024 . |
| Principal activity |
| The principal activity of the company is to act as a holding company for companies operating in the software business. |
| Dividends |
| A final dividend of £0.05 per share was paid during the year as recommended by the directors on 18 December 2025. |
| Future developments |
| No change in the company's activities is expected. |
| Directors |
| The directors who have held office during the period from 20 November 2024 to the date of this report are as follows: |
| Going concern basis |
| As with any company placing reliance in other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue although, at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. |
| Consequently, the directors have formed a judgement, at the time of approving the financial statements, that there is a reasonable expectation the Company remains to have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore has prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
| Statement of directors' responsibilities |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 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 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

| Report of the Directors |
| for the Period 20 November 2024 to 31 December 2025 |
| 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 company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information. |
| On behalf of the board: |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Adapt It Group Holdings Limited |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Adapt It Group Holdings Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and 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 101 'Reduced Disclosure Framework' (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 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 company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The other information comprises the information included in the report of the directors, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the report of the directors. 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. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Adapt It Group Holdings Limited |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page three, 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 company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| 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. |
| 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: |
| We obtained a general understanding of the company's legal and regulatory framework through enquiry of management concerning their understanding of relevant laws and regulations, the entity's policies and procedures regarding compliance, and how they identify, evaluate and account for litigation claims. We also drew on our existing understanding of the company's industry and regulation. |
| We understand that the company complies with the framework through outsourcing accounts preparation and tax compliance to external experts. |
| In the context of the audit, we considered those laws and regulations which determine the form and content of the financial statements, which are central to the company's ability to conduct its business, and where there is a risk that failure to comply could result in material penalties. We identified the following laws and regulations as being of significance in the context of the company: |
| - The Companies Act 2006 and FRS 101 in respect of the preparation and presentation of the financial statements; and |
| - UK taxation law. |
| The senior statutory auditor led a discussion with senior members of the engagement team regarding the susceptibility of the entity's financial statements to material misstatement including how fraud might occur. The areas identified in this discussion were: |
| - Manipulation of financial statements, especially investments, via fraudulent journal entries. |
| These areas were communicated to the other members of the engagement team not present at the discussion. |
| The procedures we carried out to gain evidence in the above areas included: |
| - Reviewed investments, and supporting forecasts and assumptions, for any indications of impairment to ensure cost is appropriate; and |
| - Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations. |
| Overall, the senior statutory auditor was satisfied the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise irregularities. |
| 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 irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, 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 Report of the Auditors. |
| Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
| Adapt It Group Holdings 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. |

| 2. | Accounting policies - continued |
| Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from the estimates. |
| Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered reasonable in the circumstances. The actual amount of values may vary in certain instances from the assumptions and estimates made. Changes will be recorded with the corresponding effect in the Statement of comprehensive income, when, and if, better information is obtained. |
| Critical adjustments that management have made in the process of applying accounting policies disclosed herein, and that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, relate to impairment of investments.Management conduct impairment reviews of the net realisable value of investments by estimating future cash flows, requiring a combination of assumptions including revenues and costs. No impairment has been recognised in the period. |
| Taxation |
| Current taxes are based on the results shown in the financial statements and are calculated according to local tax rules, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| 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. |
| Valuation of investments |
| Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment. |
| Debtors |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. |
| Creditors |
| Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Income from shares in group undertakings |
| Income from shares in group undertakings is recognised when there is a legally enforceable right to the dividends declared by a subsidiary. |
| 3. | Employees and directors |
| There were no staff costs for the period ended 31 December 2025. |
| The average number of employees during the period was NIL. |
| During the period, all directors were remunerated through another group company. No amounts were paid directly by the company. |
