Directors' Report
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
Directors
The directors who held office during the year were as follows:
Mr John Levin
Mr Thomas Williams
Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' 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 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 the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing the financial statements the directors are required to:
  • select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
  • make judgments 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 and group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group 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 the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company's website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.
Small Company Rules
This report has been prepared in accordance with the special provisions relating to companies subject to the small companies regime within Part 15 of the Companies Act 2006.

Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Certua Group Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 10410856 . The registered office is 12 - 18 Theobalds Road, London, WC1X 8PL.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these
accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland'
and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than
where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied :
2.2. Basis Of Consolidation
The consolidated profit and loss account and balance sheet include the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary
undertakings made up to 31 December 2024. The results of subsidiaries sold or acquired are included in the profit and loss account up
to, or from the date control passes.
Intra-group sales and profits are eliminated fully on consolidation.
2.3. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover
includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns,
rebates and other similar allowances.
2.4. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Goodwill
Goodwill has been recognised in connection with the acquisition of Surely Group Limited and Surely Services Limited in 2019.
Goodwill is initially measured as the amount paid in excess of the net assets of the acquired company at acquisition. Subsequently, the
amount recognised as goodwill is amortised over its estimated useful life of ten years, commencing from January 2020.
2.5. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Other Intangible
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less
any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
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.
2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it
to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, on a reducing
balance basis.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
Plant & Machinery 33% on Cost
Motor Vehicles 25% on Cost
Computer Equipment 33% on Cost
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.
Page 7
Page 8
2.7. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term,
unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.
2.8. Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except to the extent
that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by
the balance sheet date.
2.9. Pensions
Defined contribution pension plan
The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group
pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability
in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.
2.10. Interest Income
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
2.11. Finance costs
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at
a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital
instrument.
3. Average Number of Employees
Group
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 18 (2024: 18)

9. Deferred Taxation
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date.
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are
recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference.
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the
reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits.

11. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash
equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible
to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
