NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
Inspirus Capital Management Ltd (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, registered
in England and Wales. The Company's registered number is 13598574 and its registered office is Coachworks, 9-10 Charlotte Mews, London, W1T 4EF. The Company's principal activity is referred to within the Strategic Report.
2.Accounting policies
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 judgement 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 Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
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 Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
Therefore, the Group continues to recognise a merger reserve which arose on a past business combination that was accounted for as a merger in accordance with UK GAAP as applied at that time.
The directors have made an assessment in preparing these financial statements as to whether the Group is a going concern and have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that may cast doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.

Revenues in respect of third party hardware installations are recognised at the point at which the hardware is delivered and installed. Similarly, revenues from third party software licence sales are recognised when the risks and rewards of the licence pass to the customer. Revenues earned on managed service contracts are recognised on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract.
Grants are accounted under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102.
Grants of a revenue nature are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income in the same period as the related expenditure.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Goodwill
Other intangible assets
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:
Software - 5 years Goodwill - 10 years
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:
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.Accounting policies (continued)
A joint venture is an entity in which the Group has a contractually agreed sharing of control with one or more parties, whereby strategic financial and operating decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in associates and joint ventures are initially recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Investments are reviewed for impairment where indicators of impairment exist, and any impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss. Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
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.
Amounts arising from a business combination accounted for as a merger in accordance with UK
GAAP are recognised in the merger reserve. Subsequently, the amortisation of the associated goodwill is released against the merger reserve.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Accrued income Although accrued income requires an element of estimation by management, the directors do not consider this to be a key source of estimation uncertainty. As described in the accounting policy for revenue, the directors assess the stage of completion on fixed fee contracts at the reporting date. Revenues are then recognised based on the cost incurred to date against the estimate of expected total cost to complete. Accordingly, the directors do not consider there to be a significant risk of material adjustment to the carrying amount of accrued income in the next financial year. Goodwill Impairment The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that goodwill recognised in the balance may be impaired. Where such indication exist, the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit (CGU) to which goodwill has been allocated is compared to its recoverable amount, being the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. The determination of recoverable amount involves significant judgement, particularly in the relation to the identification of appropriate CGUs, whilst selection of the appropriate discount rate and determination of long-term growth rates applied to projected cashflows beyond the forecast period is a key accounting estimate applied.

3.Judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)
The Company has a share options scheme where the conditions for vesting require certain financial targets to be met by the Group. The directors have judged that the likelihood of these conditions being met is remote and therefore no amounts have been recognised in these accounts.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
During 2022, UBDS IT Consulting Limited Employee Benefit Trust (EBT), a company with common ownership issued options to various employees that are only exercisable in certain specific circumstances.
The directors were of the opinion that the likelihood of these circumstances arising in the foreseeable future is remote, however in the current year a total payment of £1,000 was paid in relation to the options. The total value of consideration attributable to option holders arising from the transaction was £5,283,558. This consideration comprised:
∙Cash consideration of £4,992,774;
∙Securities, loan notes or rollover interests of £290,784; and
∙Contingent amounts outstanding at the date of approval of the financial statements of £18,836.
The transaction resulted in 6 option holders becoming entitled to consideration in respect of 6,349 options. The fair value of the equity-settled share options at the grant date was assessed to be negligible. As equity-settled share-based awards are not subsequently remeasured, no material share-based payment charge has been recognised in respect of these options.

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Group to the fund and amounted to £481,696 (2024 - £967,356). Contributions totalling £109,007 (2024 - £86,850) were payable to the fund at the reporting date.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
On 19 June 2026, the Company disposed of its majority equity interest in UBDS Group to LDC (part of Lloyds Banking Group), retaining a minority rollover interest of 37.1% in the successor holding structure, Relevare Topco. This represents a non-adjusting event occurring after the reporting period and, accordingly, no adjustment has been made to the financial statements for the year ended 30 November 2025. As a result of this transaction, UBDS Group Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries ceased to be consolidated as subsidiaries of the Company with effect from that date, and the Company's retained interest is accounted for as an investment.
The transaction also resulted in certain option holders within the former UBDS Group becoming entitled to consideration under that group's share option arrangements. As the transaction occurred after the reporting date, this has been treated as a non-adjusting post balance sheet event. Further details of the share-based payment arrangements and related consideration are disclosed in Note 21. Furthermore, prior to completion of the above transaction and subsequent to the Company's year end, the former subsidiary UBDS Group Holdings Limited acquired the remaining 20% equity interest in 3B Data Security Ltd, increasing its ownership from 80% to 100%, such that 3B Data Security Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of that group immediately prior to disposal.
