STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Total Transaction Value (“TTV”) for the year is £61,646,786 (2024: £60,887,372). Gross Profit for the year is £7,178,962 (2024: £7,266,850) and EBITDA before management charges is £1,031,001 (2024: £474,775). The increase in TTV for the year is encouraging and is in keeping with the objective of the business to increase market share in the higher end travel market. During the year ended 31 December 2025 the business continued with its strategy of focusing on the experiential product offering that requires great customer service and true travel expertise. This focus continued to be successful and was accompanied by a renewed emphasis on cost control. It is this twin focus that generated a healthy increase in profitability and which the Board believes will see the business enjoy a successful 2026. The current Middle East conflict does, of course, make it difficult for all long-haul travel operators and in this respect Destinology is no different. That said, the appropriate actions to re-route and re-book those impacted customers have been swiftly taken thus far and will be taken in the future to mitigate the adverse impact on our customers and on the business.
The Board meets regularly and evaluates the Company’s risk position. The principal risks and uncertainties facing the Company are detailed below.
The operational risk is primarily reliance on supply from tour operators, hoteliers, airlines, and changes in general economic and other business conditions which may adversely affect demand for tourism products. Liquidity risk – The Company maintains sufficient funds for operational liquidity. The Board considers liquidity risk at Board meetings through monitoring of cash levels and detailed cash flow forecasts. Funding to date has been obtained through operational activities and from parent company. Foreign currency risk – The Company incurs limited purchases denominated in foreign currencies. The Board considers foreign currency risk at Board meetings and directs an appropriate medium and longer term hedging strategy. Interest rate risk – To the extent that non-operational finance is required it is organised through the parent company and accordingly no interest rate risk arises. Management believe the Company can meet key business risks in respect of competition and employee retention. Geopolitical risk – restrictions, or a loss of confidence, in travel as a result of geopolitical tensions pose a risk to the confidence of the travelling public with an associated adverse impact on the Company. When such issues arise, the Board actively monitor trends in the development of the particular issue, assess the likely impact on customer demand, and seek to maximise the offsetting impact of mitigating actions. This risk is particularly apparent just now with the Middle East conflict. The Board is monitoring the impact on the business and believe that all appropriate mitigating actions are being taken.

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.
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 profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £913,763 (2024: £586,571).

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DESTINOLOGY LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Destinology Limited (the 'Company') for the year ended 31 December 2025, which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity 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).
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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DESTINOLOGY LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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 Directors' Report.

DESTINOLOGY LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DESTINOLOGY 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
In order to identify and assess the risks of material misstatements, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations that could be expected to have a material impact on the financial statements, we have considered:
∙the results of our enquiries of management and those charged with governance of their assessment of the risks of fraud and irregularities;
∙the nature of the Company, including its management structure and control systems (including the opportunity for management to override such controls);
∙management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements including the Company’s remuneration and bonus policies and performance targets; and
∙the industry and environment in which it operates.
We also considered UK tax and pension legislation and laws and regulations relating to employment and the preparation and presentation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006.
Based on this understanding we identified the following matters as being of significance to the entity:
∙laws and regulations considered to have a direct effect on the financial statements including UK financial reporting standards, Company Law, tax and pension legislation, distributable profits legislation, CAA, ABTA and IATA regulations;
∙the timing of the recognition of commercial income;
∙management bias in selecting accounting policies and determining estimates; and
∙recoverability of debtors.
We communicated the outcomes of these discussions and enquiries, as well as consideration as to where and how fraud may occur in the entity, to all engagement team members.
Audit procedures undertaken in response to the potential risks relating to irregularities (which include fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations) comprised:
∙enquiries of management and those charged with governance as to whether the entity complies with such laws and regulations;
∙enquiries with the same concerning any actual or potential litigation or claims;
∙discussion with the same regarding any known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;
∙assessment of matters reported to management and the result of the subsequent investigation;
∙obtaining an understanding of the relevant controls during the period;
∙obtaining an understanding of the policies and controls over the recognition of income and testing their

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF DESTINOLOGY LIMITED (CONTINUED)
implementation during the period;
∙review documentation relating to compliance with the regulations relating to health and safety including health and safety certificates, and fire assessment reports;
∙review documentation relating to compliance with the regulations relating to the CAA, ABTA, and IATA including CAA and ABTA returns;
∙challenging assumptions made by management in their specific accounting policies and estimates, in particular in relation to booking cancellation provision; depreciation of tangible fixed assets; amortisation of intangible fixed assets, and reviewing impairment considerations;
∙Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations or crediting revenue;
∙assessing the recovery of debtors in the period since the balance sheet date and challenging assumptions made by management regarding the recovery of balances which remain outstanding;
∙reviewing the financial statements for compliance with the relevant disclosure requirements;
∙performing analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships or unexpected movements in account balances which may be indicative of fraud;
∙reviewing the correspondence with HMRC; and
∙evaluating the underlying business reasons for any unusual transactions.
∙reviewing intercompany balances and transactions.
No instances of material non-compliance were identified. However, the likelihood of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is limited by the inherent difficulty in detecting irregularities, the effectiveness of the entity’s controls, and the nature, timing and extent of the audit procedures performed. Irregularities that result from fraud might be inherently more difficult to detect than irregularities that result from error. As explained above, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatements may not be detected, even though the audit has been planned and performed in accordance with ISAs (UK).
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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Functional and presentation currency
Transactions and balances
The Company acts as either an Agent or a Principal when organising a client’s holiday. This is typically governed by the contractual and other arrangements between the Company and its various suppliers of airlines, cruises, hoteliers and other tour and holiday operators. The Company acts as an Agent when it organises a client’s holiday on behalf of a third-party holiday operator. In this circumstance, only the related commission, or the difference between the sales to the client and the cost of the services purchased, is accounted for as revenue and not the total transaction value. The Company acts as a Principal when it assumes all the risks rewards from organising a client’s holiday. This is where the Company has control over price setting and over the procurement of the component parts of a holiday package using its own means and resources. The related total transaction value is then accounted for as revenue. Revenue is recognised on the date of booking. As explained in note 3, Management also make an estimate, in the form of a provision, of the impact of future booking cancellations to the gross profit margin.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
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.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Balance Sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
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 Company's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
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 Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans and other loans 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Company transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Company will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Company's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

DESTINOLOGY LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
The Company’s revenue, and as a consequence the gross profit margin, is recognised at the date of booking. Management recognise that clients cancel or amend holiday bookings for a variety of reasons that may be particular to their individual circumstances. As these cancellations may occur in a later accounting period, Management make an estimate of their likelihood and account for this in the form of a provision for future cancellations, which has the effect of a reduction to the gross profit margin. The provision also considers the negative impact to the business of potential travel disruption. It has been included within other creditors. Management estimate the provision for future cancellation of bookings and amendments using historical booking cancellation patterns and gross profit margin data applying certain assumptions and judgements based on their knowledge of the travel industry. They consider that there could be localised experience of travel disruption to their customers that may occur from time to time and they have included an assumption of this within the provision for future cancellations. The current Middle East crisis has given rise to an uptick in cancellation and the incidence of travel disruption costs. The impact of these matters to date and the extent to which they may impact in the future has been considered by management in the overall assessment of the adequacy of cancellation and travel disruption provisions. Management will continue to monitor the adequacy of these provisions on a regular basis.

The Company, together with its fellow group companies, has provided a guarantee over its assets to the Civil Aviation Authority to meet any future obligations and liabilities incurred by the group companies as ATOL license holders.
In addition, the Company benefits from banking facilities under which its bank has issued guarantees on its behalf in favour of industry bodies and certain key suppliers. These guarantees total £131,891 (2024: £25,000) at the year end and relate to bonding requirements and security arrangements associated with commercial contracts. The Company also has a combined facility limit of £137,500 (2024: £Nil) These guarantees would only result in an outflow of economic resources if called upon and therefore are not recognized as liabilities in the financial statements.
The Company operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund.
The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company to the fund and amounted to £101,057 (2024: £121,222). Contributions totalling £18,448 (2024: £19,824) were payable to the fund at the balance sheet date and are included in creditors.
