STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026
The directors present their strategic report on the accounts for the year ended 30 April 2026.
The company’s principal activity continues to be managed print services and maintenance agreements for photocopiers and printers covering London, the Southeast and, for key accounts, the United Kingdom and Europe.
Most of our business continues to be gained through selling via leasing companies and financial services. We also offer, as we have done historically, repairs for business equipment, consumable sales, and third party service. Additionally, we offer telecoms within our portfolio of services. Trading conditions in the year ended 30 April 2026 continued to be challenging in several respects. The majority of our equipment sales are still subject to finance. Due to the high interest rates being experienced, lending criteria from leasing partners continues to be more stringent which has affected the profitability of the business. As reported last year, costs of equipment, replacement parts and consumables continued to rise while confidence in the market place remained low. The company successfully moved to smaller premises in October 2025. Staffing levels continued to reduce and stabilise by the end of the year. The reduction in turnover has been offset, as anticipated by the consequential reduction in overheads. The Directors continue to be satisfied with the company’s systems in place for handling maintenance agreements. The software integrates with the equipment via the internet. This enables efficient billing and the ability to identify on a timely basis when consumables and service are required. This is an example of investment which has facilitated the company in making internal operational changes referred to above and reduce staff costs. The company's gross profitability increased slightly to 40.1% this year against a comparative of 39.9%. This is a negligible change. The company continues to maintain a positive current asset position. The company has continued to ensure customers pay within the agreed credit facilities. The company has maintained its aim to maintain liquidity and cash at bank at the end of each month is still over £100,000 ensuring the smooth running of the business. At the balance sheet date, this amounted to £139,592 (2025 - £159,200).
The principal risk to the company from sales and maintenance continues to be that of potential bad debts. The company undertakes credit checks on all customers prior to fulfilling any order. Bad debts have been substantially reduced in recent years.
The directors recognise the importance of their staff. Both the technical knowledge of the engineers and the business development managers' ability to understand the best solutions help to maintain good client relationships. The ability to attract and retain good staff is essential and continues to be seen as a real challenge. The company has been able to maintain most of the increased turnover due to its continued investment in both systems and staff.

STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 APRIL 2026
The company's key performance indicator is a daily sales report. This is manifested in the turnover figure at the end of the year which for 2026 amounted to £1,771,069 (2025 - £1,863,853). The company has tight control over its overheads and is aware of its break even daily sales target.
The company's gross profit percentage has increased to 40.1% (2025 - 39.9%). As noted previously this is a minimal change.
The following paragraphs comprise our section 172 statement, outlining how the directors have, in performing their duties over the course of the year, had regard to the matters set out in Section 172(1)(a) to (f) of the Companies Act 2006.
The company's customers are fundamental to the success of the business and its growth. We are constantly re- evaluating our customers' needs which has resulted in recent years with a move away from outright purchase to the leasing of machines with charges based upon usage. Our customers demand support to ensure their printing and scanning system is operational all of the time. For this reason we provide a next day response for onsite repairs and maintenance, with the ability to replace machines if necessary while off site repairs are carried out. The company's suppliers also play a vital role in the delivery of our service. Payment terms are adhered to as part of our recognising their role. We also value the long standing association we have with many of our suppliers. The directors believe long standing associations aid the success of both parties.
This report was approved by the board on 20 October 2026 and signed on its behalf.

∙make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

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.

TEMPLE KNIGHT PLC
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TEMPLE KNIGHT PLC
We have audited the financial statements of TEMPLE KNIGHT PLC (the 'Company') for the year ended 30 April 2026, which comprise the Statement of comprehensive income, the Balance sheet, the Statement of cash flows, 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).
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 TEMPLE KNIGHT PLC (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.

TEMPLE KNIGHT PLC
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF TEMPLE KNIGHT PLC (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:
As part of designing our audit approach, we determined a materiality level and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, including how fraud may occur through enquiries of management regarding its assessment of the areas and liklihood of fraud. We looked at the areas where subjective judgements were made by management. In particular we looked at significant accounting estimates which were the result of assumptions made and based upon future events which are inherently uncertain. We also considered the effect of potential financial and other pressures, opportunity and motivations for fraud. We identified the use of internal controls established to mitigate risks related to fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations and how management motitor these procedures. As part of our audit we reviewed and tested journals, key estimates and judgements made by management. Our tests included agreeing the financial statements disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and enquiries with management. We did not identify any key audit matters relating to irregularites, including fraud. We considered the risk of management override of internal controls and carried out tests to to evaluate this. Our audit procedures are designed to identify risks of material misstatement, recognising that risks of not detecting such material misstatements due to fraud is greater then the risk due to error, due to the fact that fraud may well involve deliberate concealment. The audit procedures have inherent limitations. The further removed that non-compliance with laws and regulations are from the events and transactions included in the financial statements, the less likely we are to detect it.
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.
