Group Strategic Report
for the Period 1 July 2017 to 31 December 2018

The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the period 1 July 2017 to
31 December 2018.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
During the period ended 31st December 2018, business volumes increased at such a rapid rate, we were
announced as one of 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain by the London Stock Exchange.

The growth in turnover for the company was 6% for the period. During the reporting period Exceed
Outsourcing purchased 100% ownership Exceed Umbrella which established the Exceed Outsourcing Group
in December 2018. Exceed Umbrella has turnover growth of 205% in its financial period. It is expected that
2019 will continue to deliver growth for the Exceed Outsourcing Group.

The push for compliant, simple payroll solutions became greater throughout the period. The impact of the
public sector off-payroll legislation continued throughout 2017 and 2018. End clients were undertaking
blanket assessments, causing significant pressure being placed on contractors to operate through PAYE
umbrella solutions rather than via their own limited company. As a direct result of this, there has been a
significant increase in reliance on industry associations being utilised by recruitment agencies to verify
compliance. We noted that there is significant value in joining an industry association that verifies
compliance and during 2019 successfully undertook the compliance audit of Professional Passport.

Throughout this period of change, we have been careful to control operational costs whilst undertaking
significant investment in driving sales efforts. This has shown positive results and continues to do so in
2019. We identified one of the biggest limiting factors to our growth has been the public perception of the
Isle of Man, where our administrators, Freelance Professional Services Group (FPS Group) are based. In
2019, we brought all administrative functions in house. By doing so, it enabled us to launch additional
services both to our existing customers and in related market sectors, under the Exceed Outsourcing brand.

The decision to cut Exceed Outsourcing's ties with FPS Group post year end has offered the group the
opportunity to restructure its financial model and internal procedures. This restructuring started with the
purchase of Exceed Umbrella Limited. Further cash investment to increase sales and optimise operational
procedures is expected over the next 3 years. We aim to provide full business process outsourcing, (BPO),
services to UK businesses, including payroll, HR, sales, marketing, administration and compliance. Exceed
Outsourcing Group is in a very strong position to capitalise on the push towards BPO, especially within the
small to medium enterprise, (SME), marketplace, due to our wealth of experience and knowledge in this
area.

Exceed Outsourcing Limited (Registered number: 08566829)

Report of the Directors
for the Period 1 July 2017 to 31 December 2018

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
The directors are responsible for preparing the Group 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), including
Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of
Ireland'. 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 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 and the 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.

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 group's auditors are unaware, and each 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 group's auditors are aware of that information.

AUDITORS
The auditors, Sedulo Audit Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General
Meeting.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD:





M Parsons - Director


30 September 2019

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Exceed Outsourcing Limited

Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Exceed Outsourcing Limited (the 'parent company') and its
subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period ended 31 December 2018 which comprise the Consolidated Income
Statement, Consolidated Other Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance
Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity,
Consolidated Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, 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 group's and of the parent company affairs as at
31 December 2018 and of the group's loss for the period 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
group 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 group'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 Group 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Exceed Outsourcing Limited


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 Group 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 Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with
applicable legal requirements.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment
obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group 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 by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit
have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the parent company 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, 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 group's and the parent
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 group or
the parent 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.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
Exceed Outsourcing Limited


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.

Registered number: 08566829

Registered office: 1st Floor

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.

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 £.

Going Concern
The group has net liabilities. The accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis, on the
understanding that there will be financial support from the shareholders of the group for at least 12
months from the date of signing this report.

The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the
company will have sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future,
and they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements

Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31 December each year. The results of subsidiaries acquired or
sold are consolidated for the periods from or to the date on which control passed.
Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. Where necessary, adjustments
are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with
those used by the Group. All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated
on consolidation.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding
discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off the cost less estimated
residual value of each asset over its estimated useful life.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Financial instruments
Financial instruments
The group 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 group's statement of financial position when the group
becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements
when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to
settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at
transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the
effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the
transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of
interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

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 publically traded and whose
fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of 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 group 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.

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
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 group after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and
preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the
arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present
value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as
payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

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 if payment is
due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are
recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest method.

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 though 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.

Determination of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the group's contractual obligations expire or are
discharged or cancelled.

Taxation
Taxation for the period 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. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued
Deferred tax
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 period 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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period
of the lease.

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