STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020


The directors present their strategic report on the company for the year ended 30 June 2020.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The Company is primarily a holding company that provides central support services to its subsidiary The Claims Guys Limited.

The results of the Company for the year, as set out on pages 8, 9 and 10, show a profit on ordinary activities before tax of £14,639,471 (2019: £15,149,511) and the shareholders' funds of the Company total £2,483,197 (2019: £1,685,131).

The Company is closely working with all of its suppliers to ensure that they are aware of the reduction in size of the business and the implication that may have.

The Company continues to comply with the FCA regulatory requirements and will use the practices and ethos developed under these regulations to manage the business in the future.

As referenced in the Employee Consultation paragraph below, the Company places considerable value on the involvement of its employees and has continued to keep them informed on matters affecting them as employees and on the various factors affecting the performance of the Company. This is achieved through formal and informal meetings and through regular communication.

There is now a single ultimate shareholder for the Company and there are therefore no issues between members.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company has identified the following key risks and uncertainties:-

1) The failure of its principal subsidiary The Claims Guys Limited due to regulatory reasons.

To mitigate this risk the Company ensures that appropriately experienced compliance specialists are recruited and retained, to ensure that all relevant regulations are adhered to by the Company.

2) The impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic on the financial performance of the group.

The current global Covid-19 pandemic is a potential threat to the Company and the trading status of the subsidiary. The directors have considered the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic on the Company and recognise that the future cannot be predicted with certainty. However, the directors expect the Company to continue trading. All management can work remotely and the group is currently providing other staff with the ability to work remotely. The group is dependent on the banks continuing to work and process repayments and therefore anticipate a slowdown in activity as the banks may face staff shortages. The group has significant cash reserves. The directors believe that the Company is well placed to manage the risks at these challenging times and therefore continues to adopt a going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements. No adjustment has been made to write down assets or provide for additional liabilities, should the going concern basis not be appropriate. The Company continues to monitor the situation in respect of Covid-19 but the vast majority of roles can be performed from home and to date the only impact has been a slight delay in financial institutions processing claims.


LEADX HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06299337)

STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020

BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
The CMC PPI market has a limited period in which to deliver the revenues from PPI and new areas of financial claims are no longer being developed.

Whilst the revenue from PPI claims is expected to end in 2021, the trading subsidiary is actively seeking new avenues for generating income, including:-

i) Data breach claims
ii) Diesel emission claims
iii) Tax refund claims

The Company has a dedicated team of employees that focus on generating new income streams via email campaigns.

Furthermore, the trading subsidiary has developed an extensive database of client information which provides scope for further income in the form of "lead sales".

The Directors are satisfied that, for the next 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements, the Company will remain operational and profitable.

DISABLED EMPLOYEES
Applications for employment by disabled persons are always fully considered, bearing in mind the abilities of the applicant concerned. In the event of members of staff becoming disabled every effort is made to ensure that their employment with the Company continues and that appropriate training is arranged. It is the policy of the Company that the training, career development and promotion of disabled persons should, as far as possible, be identical to that of other employees.

EMPLOYEE CONSULTATION
The Company places considerable value on the involvement of its employees and has continued to keep them informed on matters affecting them as employees and on the various factors affecting the performance of the Company. This is achieved through formal and informal meetings and through regular communication.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
The company considers the performance of its principal subsidiary The Claims Guys Limited as its key performance indicator. The three most important key performance indicators for The Claims Guys Limited are:
a. Invoiced revenue
b. Cash collections
c. Costs incurred per month

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The trading subsidiary, The Claims Guys Limited, will generate leads for other claims management companies or solicitors until its licence expires in June 2021 and beyond that will continue to collect any outstanding debtors.

The trading subsidiary is actively seeking new avenues for generating growth, as explained in the Business Environment section of the Strategic Report.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors 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 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 and then apply them consistently;
-make judgements 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'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.

STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS
So far as the directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information (as defined by Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006) of which the company's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditors are aware of that information.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020


AUDITORS
DTE Business Advisers Limited has indicated its willingness to be reappointed for another term and appropriate arrangements are being made for it to be deemed reappointed as auditor in the absence of an Annual General Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





M P Simpkins - Director


17 June 2021

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LEADX HOLDINGS LIMITED


Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Leadx Holdings Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2020 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, 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 our opinion the financial statements:
-give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 30 June 2020 and of its profit for the year then ended;
-have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

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 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 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
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the ISAs (UK) require us to report to you where:
- the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is not appropriate; or
- the directors have not disclosed in the financial statements any identified material uncertainties that may cast significant doubt about the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon.

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.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, 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 audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. 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 Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF
LEADX HOLDINGS LIMITED


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 Report of the Directors.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where 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 directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page four, 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 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.

Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

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 Report of the Auditors.

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 a Report of the Auditors 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.

LEADX HOLDINGS LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 06299337)

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020


1. STATUTORY INFORMATION

Leadx Holdings Limited is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number is 06299337 and the registered office address is Hamilton House, Church Street, Altrincham, Cheshire, WA14 4DR.


2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Going concern
Since 2010 the primary activity of the trading subsidiary has been that of a claims management company, with the principal activity being to assist customers to recover funds as a result of having been mis-sold Payment Protection Insurance ("PPI").

Given the number of PPI claims that were submitted before the August 2019 deadline and the length of time that it takes for a typical PPI claim to be settled, it is expected that the group's PPI business will continue to be profitable and cash generative for the year ended 30 June 2021.

As it has been known for some time that the PPI business had a finite lifecycle, the group has already taken steps to reduce its operating costs and remain profitable. At the year-end, the trading subsidiary had cash reserves of £5,854,284 (2019 - £5,387,294) and net assets of £8,507,748 (2019 - £8,417,694). Post year-end, the group has been able to settle its liabilities as they arise. The directors have prepared forecasts to December 2022 which show considerable cash reserves to this date, as well as new streams of revenue which the group hopes will bring further profitability. As such, the directors have adopted the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements.

The directors have considered the impact of the global Covid-19 pandemic on the company and recognise that the future cannot be predicted with certainty. However, the company has continued to trade post year-end. All management have been able to work remotely and the Company continues to provide other staff with the ability to work remotely. The Company is dependent on the banks continuing to work and process repayments and therefore anticipate a slowdown in activity as the banks may face staff shortages. The group has significant cash reserves. The directors believe that the company is well placed to manage the risks at these challenging times and therefore continues to adopt a going concern basis of accounting in preparing these financial statements.

Related party transactions
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Other operating income
Other operating income includes management recharge income provided to the company's subsidiaries and other related companies.

Intangible fixed assets
Trademarks and licences relate to costs incurred in relation to the purchase of trademarks and associated goodwill of 'theclaimsline' . Trademarks and licences have been capitalised and amortised between 1 and 3 years.

Property, plant and equipment
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term.

Computer software- 50% on cost
Fixtures and fittings- 50% and 33% on cost
Computer equipment- 50% and 33% on cost

Salary costs incurred in relation to the creation of an internet based computer platform have been capitalised and are included within computer software.

The residual values, estimated useful lives and depreciation method of property, plant and equipment are reviewed, and adjusted as appropriate, at each statement of financial position date. The effects of any revision are recognised in the income statement when the change arises.

Government grants
Grants are accounted for under the accruals model as permitted by FRS 102.

During the year the company has benefitted from the Government Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme ('Furlough'). Furlough income has been recognised in "other income" in the same period as the related wage costs.

The company has not directly benefitted from any other forms of government assistance.

Financial instruments
The company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other accounts receivable and payable, loans from banks and other third parties and loans to related parties.

Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.

Basic financial liabilities are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Dividends
Equity dividends are recognised when they become legally payable and are no longer at the discretion of the company.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Taxation
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the 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 statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position 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.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements
In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make estimates and judgements. The estimates are based on historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates are continually evaluated. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised.

The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below.

In disclosing contingent liabilities, the directors make judgement as to whether the entity will be required to transfer economic benefits in settlement of an obligation at the statement of financial position date as a result of a previous event.

Estimating the recoverability of related party balances is considered the key estimate in calculating the bad debt provision at the period end.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the statement of financial position. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to the income statement over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the income statement on a straight line basis over the period of the lease.

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.
