Strategic report
For the year ended 31 December 2025
1
The director presents the strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Review of the business
During the year under review the company achieved an increased level of turnover and a satisfactory profit for the year as we grew in Sales and Marketing function to support our Parent company.
The director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Principal risks and uncertainties
SoftServe Systems Limited operates as a limited risk service provider and is remunerated with a targeted percentage of revenue and mark up on expenses, while all the losses would be compensated by ISV Tech Limited (sister company of the Group).
Financial risks management
The company uses a variety of financial instruments including cash and various items, such as trade debtors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to provide working capital for the company’s operations.
The director reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below.
1) Market risk
Considering that SoftServe Systems Limited operates as a limited risk service provider its profitability is not generally sensitive to market conditions, although it could take limited market risk in case the market will be significantly decreased or affected in price terms.
As a result, ISV Tech Limited bears majority of the market risks associated with the UK market, while SoftServe Systems Limited bears market risk to a limited extent.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk relates to potential failure to pay or delay in payment of receivables by the buyers of services. In case clients will fail to pay SoftServe Systems Limited for the services provided, all losses related to such accident would be borne by ISV Tech Limited, therefore credit risk is mostly attributable to ISV Tech Limited, with minor exposure of SoftServe Systems Limited to this type of risk.
3) Risk of quality of services
The risk is associated with unsatisfactory results of research and development or innovation activity.
ISV Tech Limited shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless SoftServe Systems Limited according to the Agreement, as mentioned above, against and from, any and all liabilities, obligations etc. given it is economic owner of all the clients contracts and is responsible for the provision of the services.
In addition, SoftServe Systems Limited is added as a party to the insurance coverage obtained by ISV Tech Limited. As a result, SoftServe Systems Limited does not bear quality risks, given it is fully attributable to ISV Tech Limited.
4) Foreign exchange risk
Forex risks relate to changes in exchange rates with regard to the base currency of settlements of the companies. The risk arises if the amount of profit may be affected by currency fluctuations. The parties may be faced with this risk if the currency of its expenses is different from the currency of its profits.
The functional currency of SoftServe Systems Limited is British Pound Sterling (GBP). SoftServe Systems Limited may bill end clients in currencies other than GBP and therefore SoftServe Systems Limited could be impacted, albeit to a relatively small extent, by changes to foreign exchange rates. However, given the remuneration mechanism of SoftServe Systems Limited it is exposed to foreign exchange risk to a very limited extent.

Development and performance
The general industry outlook remains consistent, with market forecasts suggesting a continuation of current performance trends into 2026. Despite economic uncertainties, the company is well-positioned to maintain steady profitability, supported by prudent financial management and strategic direction.
The company continues to benefit from the ongoing financial and strategic support of its parent company, which provides a stable platform for long-term growth.
Key performance indicators
The company has delivered a stable financial performance for the year ended 31 December 2025, demonstrating resilience in a competitive market environment.
Revenue increased by 29.7% to £19,503,237 (2024: £15,035,372), reflecting continued growth in customer demand and the successful execution of commercial strategies. Profit before tax for the year was £1,854,054 (2024: £2,563,781), representing a decrease of 27.7%, mainly due to the donations made through 2025.
The average headcount during 2025 increased to 76 (2024: 60). The increase in headcount reflects the continued expansion of business operations and strengthening of delivery capabilities to support growing customer demand and strategic development initiatives.

The director who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements was as follows:
Taras Verveha
Auditor
Saffery LLP have expressed their willingness to continue in office as auditor of the company.
Statement of director's responsibilities
The director is responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
United Kingdom company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the United Kingdom. Under company law, the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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, International Accounting Standard 1 requires that directors:
properly select and apply accounting policies;
present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information;
provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements in IFRSs are insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entity's financial position and financial performance; and
make an assessment of the company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The director is 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. He is 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.
Strategic report
The company has chosen to set out in the company's strategic report certain information that is required by the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, Sch. 7 to be contained in the directors' report. This is in accordance with the Companies Act 2006, Section 414C(11). The matters dealt with in the Strategic report include financial instrument risk and future developments.

Statement of disclosure to auditor
The director in office at the date of approval of this annual report confirms that:
so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company's auditor is unaware; and
the 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 company's auditor is aware of that information.
This confirmation is given and should be interpreted in accordance with the provisions of section 418 of the Companies Act 2006.

Independent auditor's report
To the members of Softserve Systems Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Softserve Systems Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of financial position, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and UK adopted international accounting standards.
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 year then ended;
have been properly prepared in accordance with UK adopted international accounting standards; and
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 Auditor's 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The director is 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.
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 director's report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the strategic report and the director's report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Softserve Systems Limited
Independent auditor's report
To the members of Softserve Systems Limited (continued)

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 director's report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
Responsibilities of director
As explained more fully in the director's responsibilities statement, set out on page 3 the director is 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 director determines is 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's 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 an auditor's 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 specific procedures for this engagement and the extent to which these are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud are detailed below.
Identifying and assessing risks related to irregularities:
We assessed the susceptibility of the company’s financial statements to material misstatement and how fraud might occur, including through discussions with the director, discussions within our audit team planning meeting, updating our record of internal controls and ensuring these controls operated as intended. We evaluated possible incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements. We identified laws and regulations that are of significance in the context of the company by discussions with director and by updating our understanding of the sector in which the company operates.
Laws and regulations of direct significance in the context of the company include The Companies Act 2006 and UK Tax legislation.
Audit response to risks identified
We considered the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items including a review of financial statement disclosures. We reviewed minutes of meetings to identify potential material misstatements arising. We discussed the company's policies and procedures for compliance with laws and regulations with members of management responsible for compliance.
Softserve Systems Limited
Independent auditor's report
To the members of Softserve Systems Limited (continued)

During the planning meeting with the audit team, the engagement partner drew attention to the key areas which might involve non-compliance with laws and regulations or fraud. We enquired of management whether they were aware of any instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations or knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud. We addressed the risk of fraud through management override of controls by testing the appropriateness of journal entries and identifying any significant transactions that were unusual or outside the normal course of business. We assessed whether judgements made in making accounting estimates gave rise to a possible indication of management bias. At the completion stage of the audit, the engagement partner’s review included ensuring that the team had approached their work with appropriate professional scepticism and thus the capacity to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's 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 an auditor's report 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 financial statements
For the year ended 31 December 2025

Accounting policies
Company information
Softserve Systems Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Part Lower Ground Floor, 30 Cannon Street, London, EC4M 6XH.
1.1
Accounting convention
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with international accounting standards (IAS) in conformity with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 and with those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the United Kingdom, except as otherwise stated.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
1.2
Going concern
The truedirector has, at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
1.3
Revenue
Revenue is recognised when control of the promised services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services.
The company provides sales and marketing services to related group companies under intragroup service agreements. Revenue from these services is recognised over time as the services are rendered, as customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided. The performance obligation is satisfied as the agreed services are delivered in accordance with the contract.
The company acts as an agent under certain agency agreements, and therefore recognises revenue on a net basis, representing the commission to which it expects to be entitled, and a mark up of costs incurred. Payment terms are agreed on a contract-by-contract basis and do not include significant financing components.
There are not considered to be any significant judgements applied to the recognition of revenue. Contract modifications are assessed to determine whether they represent a separate contract or a modification of the existing contract, in accordance with IFRS 15.
1.4
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:
Plant and equipment
20-25% on cost
Right of use asset
Over the life of the lease
The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is recognised in the income statement.
Softserve Systems Limited
Notes to the financial statements (continued)
For the year ended 31 December 2025
1
Accounting policies (continued)
13
1.5
Non-current investments
Interests in fellow group companies are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The investments are assessed for impairment at each reporting date and any impairment losses or reversals of impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
1.6
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense, unless those costs are required to be recognised as part of the cost of inventories or non-current assets.
The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.
A termination benefit liability is recognised at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the entity recognises any related restructuring costs.
1.7
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense when employees have rendered the service entitling them to the contributions.
1.8
Leases
At inception, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease within the scope of IFRS 16. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Where a tangible asset is acquired through a lease, the company recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. Right-of-use assets are included within property, plant and equipment, apart from those that meet the definition of investment property.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date plus any initial direct costs and an estimate of the cost of obligations to dismantle, remove, refurbish or restore the underlying asset and the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently adjusted for remeasurements of the lease liability and applies the relevant cost model, fair value model or revaluation model as set out within the accounting policies for the applicable asset class. Where the cost model is applied, the asset is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term, and is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are unpaid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company's incremental borrowing rate.
The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is reassessed at each financial period end to reflect lease modifications and any changes to the factors considered at initial measurement, as set out above. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
The company has elected not to recognise right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases of machinery that have a lease term of 12 months or less, or for leases of low-value assets including IT equipment. The payments associated with these leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

1.9
Foreign exchange
Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.
2
Adoption of new and revised standards and changes in accounting policies
During the financial year, the Company has adopted the following new IFRSs (including amendments thereto) and IFRIC interpretations, that became effective for the first time.
Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or amounts reported in the financial statements.
Amendments to IAS 21
Lack of exchangeability
Standards which are in issue but not yet effective
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following standards and interpretations relevant to Company and which have not been applied in these financial statements, were in issue but were not yet effective.
Amendments to IFRS 7 and IFRS 9 (not yet endorsed by the UK)
Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments
IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11 (not yet endorsed by the UK)
Annual improvement to IFRS Accounting Standards
IFRS 18
Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements
IFRS 19 (not yet endorsed by the UK)
Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures
The director does not expect that the adoption of the Standards listed above will have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company in future periods.
3
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The Director believes that there are no critical accounting estimates, judgements and key sources of uncertainty in these financial statements.

The Company's principal financial instruments comprise of trade receivables and trade payables which arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to fund the Company's operation and to manage working capital, liquidity. The Company has also provided a loan to a fellow subsidiary detailed in Note 25.
The Company does not enter into any derivative transactions.
The main risks arising from the Company's financial instruments are foreign currency risk and credit risk. Liquidity risk is not considered to be a main risk to the Company given the nature of its transactions with intercompany and holding significant cash balances. Interest rate risk is not considered to be a main risk to the Company as it does not have any borrowing and is purely equity financed.
The company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk on sales and purchases that are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company.
Foreign currency risk is managed by holding cash reserves in multiple currencies (GBP, USD and Euro) and transacting in these currencies as appropriate thus reducing the risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currencies.
Credit risk
The Company trades only with recognised, creditworthy third parties. It is the Company's policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the results that the Company's exposure to bad debt is not significant, where a customer does default the expense is recharged to a fellow subsidiary.

Events after the reporting date
