GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2020
The directors present their strategic report of the company and the Group for the year ending 31 January 2020.
The principal activity of the Group during the period was the technical architecture, supply of component hardware, deployment, training and support services for datacentre modernisation and desktop transformation projects into SME and enterprise markets. The group has a comprehensive and complementary portfolio of managed services and has considerable expertise in research and development to offer a wide breadth of IT transformational projects.
No change is planned to the Group’s principal activity.
The year to 31 January 2020 saw the group experiencing consistent sales compared to 2019 on a monthly average basis. The Group’s operating profit for the 12 months to 31st January 2019 was £136,035 and EBITDA was £447,754.
No dividends were distributed during the period. The directors are however concerned as to the short term impact to the business due to the Covid 19 pandemic. However, the directors are confident as to the long term future of the Group and believe that the combined expertise as a blended value-added reseller and managed service provider with a strong focus on the ability in creating transformational solutions for its customers, places the company in a unique position for future growth.
The execution of the Group’s strategy is subject to a number of risks. The Board of Directors continually review and evaluate the risks that the Group is facing, and appropriate processes are put in place to monitor and manage them.
The principal commercial risk that the Group is facing is termed as competitive risks. The Group places strong emphasis on its excellent service levels, quality of its managed service care and outstanding response criteria, and its unique ability to create customer focussed transformational projects to add significant customer value. Covid-19 The directors acknowledge that the Covid-19 crisis will impact the Group with a variety of risks and uncertainties. Cash resources and cash flow The first risk is the ability of the Group to manage its cash flow within the next year. The directors note that the Group had an effective working capital programme in place for the last year which resulted in a strong cash position at the balance sheet date. The Group recognises the support of the Government in this crisis and is taking benefit of the Government’s furlough scheme. The group is furloughing a small number of its outstanding workforce, but this is under review on a continual basis. In addition, the Group has been awarded a Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan of £700,000 for a 6 year period with a 12 month repayment holiday. Both of these elements give the Directors confidence that the Group will continue as a going concern and be able to meet its financial obligations over the next 12 months. Business levels The Group expects that some customers may delay contracts and reduce expenditure in the short to mid term. However, due to the crisis, other projects will arise as customers want to enhance different projects such as their remote working opportunities and disaster recovery framework, both of which the Group is an industry leading specialist and well placed to deliver.

Service levels All employees of the Group are working remotely from home. The Group’s employees are very experienced at remote working having practiced this for many years, in addition to flexible remote working being a key revenue pillar that we have sold into our customer base for several years. The directors recognise the outstanding skills of the employees, who are working successfully to provide all of its customers with an outstanding experience and a high level of support throughout this difficult time. Control environment The directors are confident that the Group has all of the controls in place to manage and secure resources during this period of remoter working and uncertainty. Financial controls are well developed and the entire control environment is seen to be robust. Review process The directors are reviewing the business formally on a weekly basis and are adapting strategies to manage the crisis fluidly. The Key performance indicators of the business remain unchanged but, obviously, close management of cash flow is a key focus. Summary In summary, the directors are confident that it has the financial strength and expertise within the Group that will enable it to successfully manage the risks and uncertainties that the crisis throws up.
The Group’s key performance indicators during the 12 months to 31 January 2020 (2019: 9 months) are:
Other key performance indicators include monitoring the Group’s service levels to ensure it continually meets and exceeds its customer’s expectations.

DIRECTORS' REPORT
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2020
The Directors present their report and the financial statements for the period ended 31 January 2020.
The Directors are responsible for preparing the Group strategic report, the Directors' report and the consolidated 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), 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 for the Group's financial statements 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 Group 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 the Group and to 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.
The profit for the period, after taxation, amounted to £41,772 (2019: £305,581).
The Group did not pay any dividends in the year.
The Directors who served during the period were:
The directors anticipate the business environment will remain competitive. They believe that the company is in a good financial position and that the risks that have been identified are being well managed. With continuous review of the state of the market and the activities of competitors, the directors are confident in the company's ability to maintain and build on this position, albeit with cautious growth expectations.
The company has a normal level of exposure to price, credit, liquidity and cash flow risks arising from trading activities which are largely conducted in sterling. The company does not enter into any formally designated hedging arrangements.

COMPUTERWORLD GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COMPUTERWORLD GROUP LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of COMPUTERWORLD GROUP LIMITED (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the period ended 31 January 2020, which comprise the Group Statement of comprehensive income, the Group and Company Statements of financial position, the Group Statement of cash flows, the Group and Company 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 our opinion the financial statements:
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 United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
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 or the parent 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.
The Directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our Auditors' report 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.

COMPUTERWORLD GROUP LIMITED
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF COMPUTERWORLD GROUP LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Group strategic report and the Directors' report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Group 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 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 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:
As explained more fully in the Directors' responsibilities statement on page 3, 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 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.
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.
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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2020
Computerworld Group Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in the UK and registered in England and Wales. The registered office is Apex House Turner Drive, Westerleigh Business Park, Yate, Bristol, England, BS37 5YX.
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of comprehensive income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Statement of financial position, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
As explained in the strategic report, the Group is actively managing the impacts of the Covid-19 crisis. After reviewing the Group's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future.
The Group therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the lease term.
Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.
The Group has taken advantage of the optional exemption available on transition to FRS 102 which allows lease incentives on leases entered into before the date of transition to the standard 29 March 2018 to continue to be charged over the period to the first market rent review rather than the term of the lease.
The Group continually invests in research and development projects and all related expenditure is written off as incurred.
Interest income is recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income using the effective interest method.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLAN
The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the Statement of financial position date, except that:
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are assessed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's (or CGU's) fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). Non-financial assets that have been previously impaired are reviewed at each reporting date to assess whether there is any indication that the impairment losses recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Investments in unlisted Group shares, whose market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each balance sheet date. Gains and losses on remeasurement are recognised in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historic cost less impairment.
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first outbasis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.
At each reporting date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

COMPUTERWORLD GROUP LIMITED
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 JANUARY 2020
2.ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
In the Consolidated statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are shown net of bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Group's cash management.
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Provisions are made where an event has taken place that gives the Group a legal or constructive obligation that probably requires settlement by a transfer of economic benefit, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
Provisions are charged as an expense to the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year that the Group becomes aware of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Statement of financial position date of the expenditure required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties. When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Statement of financial position.
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 Consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Estimates and judgments are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
There are no key accounting estimates or judgments that have been applied.
