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. |

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: |
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. |

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. |
Fixtures and Fittings 33% |

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. |

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. |

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements - continued |
for the Period 1 July 2017 to 31 December 2018 |
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. |
