The Directors present their Directors' report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

SBJ Benefit Consultants Limited ('the Company') is a wholly owned subsidiary (indirectly held) of Capita plc. Capita plc along with its subsidiaries are hereafter referred to as 'the Group'. The Company has not traded since 2010 and, as a result, the financial statements are prepared on a non-going concern basis.

The Company became active during the year as a result of the recognition of a claims provision.

The results for the year are set out on page 3. However, during the year, the Company received no income and incurred no expenditure and therefore, made neither profit nor loss.

No interim or final dividend was paid during the year (2024: £nil).

The Directors, who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:

The Company has granted an indemnity to the directors of the Company against liability in respect of proceedings brought by third parties, subject to the conditions set out in the Companies Act 2006. Such qualifying third-party indemnity provisions remain in force as at the date of approving the directors' report.

The Company made no political donations and incurred no political expenditure during the year (2024: £nil).

The Directors are responsible for preparing the annual 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 United Kingdom accounting standards and applicable law (UK Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including FRS 101 reduced disclosure framework. 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;

• state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

• assess the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and as explained in the note 1.1 of the financial statements, the Directors do not believe the going concern basis to be appropriate and these financial statements are not prepared on that basis.

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.

This report has been prepared in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies entitled to the small companies exemption.

The income statement has been prepared on the basis that the Company has ceased all its operations.

SBJ Benefit Consultants Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is First Floor, 2 Kingdom Street, Paddington, London, England, W2 6BD. The Company's principal activities and nature of its operations are disclosed in the Directors' report.

In determining the appropriate basis of preparation for the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company’s Directors (‘the Directors’) are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, being a period of at least 12 months following the approval of these accounts.

The principal activity of the Company ceased in 2010. The Directors have therefore prepared the financial statements on the basis that the Company is no longer a going concern. The expected realisable and settlement values for current assets and liabilities are not considered to be materially different from their carrying value at the balance sheet date. Therefore, the Directors have considered that no further adjustments are required as a result of preparing the financial statements on a non-going concern basis.

The Company has applied FRS101 – Reduced Disclosure Framework in the preparation of its financial statements.

The Company has prepared and presented these financial statements by applying the recognition, measurement and disclosure requirements of international accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The Company's ultimate parent company, Capita plc, includes the Company in its consolidated statements. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ('UK-IFRSs') and the Disclosure and the Transparency Rules of the UK's Financial Conduct Authority. They are available to the public and may be obtained from Capita plc’s website on https://www.capita.com/investors.

In these financial statements, the Company has applied the disclosure exemptions available under FRS 101 in respect of the following disclosures:

•     A cash flow statement and related notes;

•     Comparative period reconciliations for ;

•     Disclosures in respect of transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries;

•     Disclosures in respect of capital management;

•     The effects of new but not yet effective IFRSs;

•     Disclosures in respect of the compensation of key management personnel

Since the consolidated financial statements of Capita plc include equivalent disclosures, the Company has also taken the disclosure exemptions under FRS 101 available in respect of the following disclosure:

•     Certain disclosures required by IFRS 7 and certain disclosure exemptions as permitted by IFRS 13 Fair value measurement.

The Company has adopted the new amendments to standards detailed below but they do not have a material effect on the Company's financial statements.

New amendments or interpretations                         Effective date

Lack of exchangeability – Amendments to IAS 21                    1 January 2025

Trade and other receivables

The trade and other receivables have been measured and presented at their expected realisable values.

Trade and other payables

The trade and other payables have been measured and presented at their expected settlement values.

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation arising from past events, it is probable that cash will be paid to settle it, and the amount can be estimated reliably.

If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using the yield on government bonds which have a similar timing and currency of cash flows to the provision being discounted. Where required adjustments are made to the yields to reflect the risks specific to the cash flows being discounted. The unwinding of the discount is recognised as a financing cost in the income statement.

The value of the provision is determined based on assumptions and estimates in relation to the amount, timing and likelihood of actual cash flows, which are dependent on future events. Where no reliable basis of estimation can be made, no provision is recorded. However, contingent liabilities disclosures are given when there is a greater than remote probability of outflow of economic benefits.

On an ongoing basis, management monitor provisions and their accurate estimation when compared to final outcomes.

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the balance sheet based on whether they are current or non-current.

An asset is current when it is:

• Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle;

• Held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• Expected to be realised within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or

• Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is current when:

• It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

• It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

• It is due to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date; or

• There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires the directors to make judgements and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported income and expense during the presented periods. Although these judgements and assumptions are based on the directors’ best knowledge of the amount, events or actions, actual results may differ from these estimates.

The key sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are the measurement of provisions. The Company applies judgement in measuring and recognising provisions related to pending litigation or other outstanding claims subject to negotiated settlement, mediation and arbitration. Judgement is necessary in assessing the likelihood that a pending claim will succeed, or a liability will arise, and to quantify the possible range of the financial settlement.

The Group undertook a review of the funding structure of its key subsidiaries during the second half of the year. Following this review, £631,982 of the Company’s receivables due from other Group companies were reclassified from current to non-current. These balances remain repayable on demand; however, based on the conclusions of the review undertaken, there is no longer the expectation that the Company will realise these amounts within twelve months of the balance sheet date.

The Company makes a provision when a claim has been made where it is more probable than not that a loss might occur. These provisions are reassessed regularly to ensure that the level of provisioning is consistent with the claims that have been reported.

There were no employees during the year (2024: None).

The Company has not paid any fees or other remuneration to the Group based Directors related to the directorship role they provided to the Company as a part of their Group-wide executive management role. The Company has estimated that allocation of the qualifying services that these Group based Directors provided to the Company is inconsequential.

The Company's immediate parent company is Capita Employee Benefits Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales. The Company's ultimate parent company is Capita plc, a company incorporated in England and Wales. The accounts of Capita plc are available from the registered office at First Floor, 2 Kingdom Street, Paddington, London, England, W2 6BD.

There are no significant events which have occurred after the reporting period.
