Gatherwell Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2026
The directors present their annual report, together with the financial statements, of Gatherwell Limited (hereinafter "the company") for the year ended
Principal activities
Going concern
In preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the ability of the company to continue as a going concern and in doing so taking into account the market, customer and regulatory changes on its financial condition, liquidity, operations and workforce to inform their decisions to 31 December 2027.
The directors have reviewed the latest financial information and prepared cash flow forecasts identifying all known contractual cash commitments to 31 December 2027 and compared this to current cash holdings.
The directors have considered reasonably possible changes in the assumptions or scenarios and noted that they would not give rise to any going concern conditions and similarly the directors have performed a worst case scenario and concluded that such a scenario is remote.
The business development pipeline of new lottery and prize draw clients is strong with a healthy number of launches underway. Lottery and prize draw ticket sales revenue is growing and coupled with disciplined cost management, the company continues to perform well despite significant inflationary pressures.
The directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt upon the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Financial review
The profit for the company after providing for income tax amounted to £810,332 (30 June 2025: £798,395).
The company made a profit before tax for the year ended
Profits increased due to new business wins and disciplined cost management, despite paying out a record number of self-funded jackpots during the year.
During the year, there were no Jumbo Win investments made (2025: £139,850) and no impacts of non-recurring other income (2025: £226,715).
The improved balance sheet is due to the profit generated in the year ended

Gatherwell Limited
Directors' report
30 June 2026
Future developments
Despite challenges to the market, the company’s underlying business performance continued to perform well in all the markets in which it primarily operates, both in terms of service charge revenue from core ticket sales of existing lotteries, as well as winning new business to run additional lotteries. The future goals of the directors are to continue to grow lottery ticket and the recently developed, Prize-Draw-as-a-Service model sales, whilst increasing the money raised for charities, good causes, schools, sports clubs and Local Authorities in the UK. There is a strong business development pipeline of client lotteries and prize draw clients, as well as significant opportunity to increase the number of schools and small/medium charities and other organisations looking to utilise the services, products and expertise. This, coupled with close management of costs, continued product development and excellent customer service will enable strong financial performance whilst maintaining industry best practice.

Gatherwell Limited
Directors' responsibilities statement
30 June 2026
The directors are responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom 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 company financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including Financial Reporting Standard FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (“FRS 102”). 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 in accordance with section 10 of FRS 102 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors and then apply them consistently; |
|
|
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
|
|
• |
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 FRS 102 is insufficient to enable users to understand the impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the company financial position and financial performance; |
|
|
• |
in respect of the company financial statements, state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards, including FRS 102, have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
|
|
• |
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 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.
Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also responsible for preparing a directors’ report, that comply with that law and those regulations. The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the company’s website.

Gatherwell Limited
Independent auditor's report to the members of Gatherwell Limited
30 June 2026
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Gatherwell Limited for the year ended 30 June 2026 which comprise Statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1 to 17, 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 FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, the financial statements:
Basis for opinion
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 the provisions available for small entities, in the circumstances set out in note 1.1 to the financial statements, 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 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 to 31 December 2027.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. However, because not all future events or conditions can be predicted, this statement is not a guarantee as to the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s 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 this report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

Gatherwell Limited
Independent auditor's report to the members of Gatherwell Limited
30 June 2026
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 the 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:
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 directors’ 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:
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the directors’ responsibilities statement set out on page 5, the directors are 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 directors determine 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 directors are 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 directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have 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

Gatherwell Limited
Independent auditor's report to the members of Gatherwell Limited
30 June 2026
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.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect irregularities, including fraud. 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. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both those charged with governance of the entity and management.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the

Financial Reporting Council’s website at https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Use of our 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.

Gatherwell Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2026
Note 1. Accounting policies
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Company information
Gatherwell Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Colony Flint Glass Works, Jersey Street, Ancoats, Manchester, M4 6JW.
Accounting convention
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance and compliance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.
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.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
|
• |
Section 4 ‘Statement of Financial Position’: Reconciliation of the opening and closing number of shares; |
|
|
• |
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures; |
|
|
• |
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel. |
The company has availed of small company exemptions in preparing its Directors' Report, as except for it being part of an ineligible group, it would otherwise be a small company.
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Jumbo Interactive Limited (Jumbo), a company incorporated in Australia with registered office: Level 11, 135 Coronation Drive, Milton, QLD, 4064, Australia.
Jumbo Interactive Limited is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX ticker: JIN). Jumbo is a digital lottery specialist, providing its proprietary lottery software platforms and lottery management expertise to the charity and government lottery sectors in Australia and globally. Jumbo consolidated financial statements for the year ended

Going concern
In preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the ability of the company to continue as a going concern and in doing so taking into account the market, customer and regulatory changes on its financial condition, liquidity, operations and workforce to inform their decisions to 31 December 2027.
The company made a profit before tax for the year ended
Despite challenges to the market, the company’s underlying business performance continued to perform well in all the markets in which it primarily operates, both in terms of service charge revenue from core ticket sales of existing lotteries, as well as winning new business to run additional lotteries.
The directors have reviewed the latest financial information and prepared cash flow forecasts identifying all known contractual cash commitments to 31 December 2027 and compared this to current cash holdings.
The directors have considered reasonably possible changes in the assumptions or scenarios and noted that they would not give rise to any going concern conditions and similarly the directors have performed a worst case scenario and concluded that such a scenario is remote.

The directors have concluded that there are no material uncertainties that lead to significant doubt upon the company’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the directors believe that it remains appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.
Turnover
Turnover is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for services provided in the normal course of business, and is shown net of VAT and other sales related taxes.
Revenue from Lottery management fees is recognised on a percentage commission basis (inclusive of VAT) on monies received on behalf of clients for whom the company manages lotteries, on the date the lottery is drawn.
16
Gatherwell Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2026
Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives on the following bases:
Fixtures, fittings & equipment Straight line over 4 years
Computer equipment Straight line over 4 years
Tangible assets are derecognised on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected. 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 credited or charged to profit or loss.
The assets useful lives and depreciation are reviewed and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of significant change since the last reporting date.
Impairment of non-financial assets
At each balance sheet date non-financial assets not carried at fair value are assessed to determine whether there is an indication that the asset (or asset’s cash generating unit) may be impaired. If there is such an indication the recoverable amount of the asset (or asset’s cash generating unit) is compared to the carrying amount of the asset (or asset’s cash generating unit).
The recoverable amount of the asset (or asset’s cash generating unit) is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is defined as the present value of the future cash flows before interest and tax obtainable as a result of the asset’s (or asset’s cash generating units) continued use. These cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the current market risk– free rate and the risks inherent in the asset.
If the recoverable amount of the asset (or asset’s cash generating unit) is estimated to be lower than the carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account, unless the asset has been revalued when the amount is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation. Thereafter any excess is recognised in profit or loss.
If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (or asset’s cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the revised carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortisation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets which include company cash in hand, and client funds ready for transfer to a client deposit account. The client deposit account represents cash held in a separate bank account for the payment of prizes and charity distributions relating to the company's customers, and both the cash and the corresponding liability has been recognised in the balance sheet.
17
Gatherwell Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2026
Financial instruments
The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ 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 debtors and cash and bank balances, are measured at transaction price including transaction costs.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of non-financial assets
Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.
Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. 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.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been, had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
Classification of 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 deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, are recognised at transaction price.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities as payment is due within one year or less.
18
Gatherwell Limited
Notes to the financial statements
30 June 2026
Other financial liabilities
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs.
Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax payable for the year.
Current tax
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.
Employee benefits
The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense.
Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.
Leases
Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.
