| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2022 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 March 2022. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The Directors are very pleased to be able to report another very successful year of trading, in what has continued to be a challenging environment caused by the global pandemic. |
| Despite these difficult trading conditions the group has still seen an increase in turnover in this financial year, with turnover increasing by 5.6% to £22.6M from £21.4M the previous year. |
| Profit before taxation for the year was £1.54M and the net assets of the group have increased to £2.54M. |
| Maintenance & Contracting Services Ltd (MCS) has again continued to benefit from consistent repeat work from some of the UK's biggest main contractors. |
| The strategy initiated in our previous financial year has allowed us to further strengthen our existing client relations and maintain the substantial increase in turnover achieved in 2020/21. |
| As MCS have demonstrated in previous years of accounting, it is a key objective for us to have a period of substantial growth followed by a year of stabilisation, which we have achieved in 2021/22. |
| Next year's strategy is to focus on strengthening the relationships in our small client base and to build on the mean order value of our contracts. At the time of publication of these accounts, actual revenue work for 2022/23 is in excess of £45M. In addition to this our forward order book for 2023/24 is looking extremely positive with works already secured standing at £20M. |
| Our consistent increase in turnover over recent years, and the further projected significant increase in turnover for the next two years, is in line with the company's ambition of sustainable long-term growth. |
| MCS Integrated Solutions Limited, focusing on small works and Facilities Management opportunities, has had a period of stabilisation. As of October 2022, MCS Integrated Solutions is under new leadership, and we have set key objectives for growth. The forward order book for MCS Integrated Solutions is also looking strong with further FM contracts and tier 2 reactive works orders having been secured since year end. |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2022 |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The commercial activities of Maintenance & Contracting Services Ltd and MCS Integrated Solutions Limited are subject to risks which are constantly monitored and evaluated by the directors. Key areas of risk include the financial stability of clients and suppliers together with the economic activity of the industry sector, risks exacerbated in the period by the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. |
| The group finances its operations through working capital cash generations and bank debt. There is interest rate risk exposure as the group has debt at a floating rate and the floating rate interest is not currently hedged. |
| There is no currency risk exposure as the group does not trade overseas. |
| Liquidity risk is managed by forecasting future cash flow requirements of the business and by monitoring and maintaining sufficient bank balances to meet these. To mitigate risks posed by the economic outlook the directors continue to carefully manage cash and costs. |
| The group manages its credit risk exposure by trading only with credit worthy clients, ensuring up to date credit ratings are monitored for key client accounts. |
| The group also monitors the concentration of its trading activities by customer to help mitigate over-reliance upon key customers. |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The board's preferred measure of underlying performance is earnings before interest, taxation, |
| depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA"). 2022 EBITDA was £1,631,159 (2021 - £1,762,305). |
| The reconciliation of group EBITDA to the financial statements is: |
| 2022 | 2021 |
| £'000 | £'000 |
| Operating profit | 1,558 | 1,706 |
| Add back: |
| Depreciation (Note 4) | 62 | 33 |
| Amortisation (Note 4) | 28 | 28 |
| (Profit) on disposal of fixed assets (Note 4) | (17 | ) | (5 | ) |
| EBITDA | 1,631 | 1,762 |

| DIRECTORS |
| The directors shown below have held office during the whole of the period from 1 April 2021 to the date of this report. |
| 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). 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. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| for the Year Ended 31 MARCH 2022 |
| 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 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 group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| Burnside, were appointed as auditors to the company during the year and 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 |
| VIS GROUP LIMITED |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of VIS Group Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 March 2022 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 March 2022 and of the group's 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 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 |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| 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 this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| VIS GROUP 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 set out on page five, 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. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| VIS GROUP LIMITED |
| 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. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| An understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the entity was obtained from management and those charged with governance of the entity and its subsidiaries, and the audit engagement team was confirmed to have the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify non-compliance with such a framework. |
| No significant instances of fraud, non-compliance with laws and regulations or other irregularities were communicated to the engagement team by management or those charged with governance, and no particular audit areas or legislation were identified that gave rise to any significant risks of material misstatement in respect of such irregularities. |
| Due to the size and nature of the group, its susceptibility to material misstatement resulting from fraud, non-compliance with laws and regulations, or other irregularities is considered to be low, and the audit approach was appropriately planned so as to address this risk. |
| 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. |
| Other matters |
| The corresponding figures were not audited in previous years as there was no requirement for the group or the company to have an audit. |
| We have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence that the opening balances do not contain misstatements that materially affect the current period's financial statements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| VIS GROUP 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. |

| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated financial statements include the results of VIS Group Limited and all of its subsidiary undertakings made up to the same accounting date. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses are eliminated in full on consolidation. The results of subsidiary undertakings acquired or disposed of during the period are included or excluded from the income statement from the effective date of acquisition or disposal. |

| Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |
| Significant judgements and estimates |
| In the application of the group's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both the current and future periods. |

| Turnover |
| Turnover represents the value of sales of goods and services rendered during the year, excluding value added tax and trade discounts. Turnover in respect of contracts ongoing at the year end is measured in accordance with valuations of work completed as certified by customers. |
| In respect of long term contracts and contracts for on-going services, turnover represents the value of work done in the year, including estimates of amounts not invoiced. Turnover in respect of long-term contracts and contracts for on-going services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion. |
| Goodwill |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Freehold property | - |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Motor vehicles | - |
| Office equipment | - |
| Investments in associates |
| Investments in associate undertakings are recognised at cost. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |

| Taxation for the year 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 |

| 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 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. |
| Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. 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 profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability. |
| 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 short term employee benefits |
| The group makes contributions to personal pension schemes of certain employees. Contributions payable to the schemes are charged to the profit and loss account in the period to which they relate. |
| Other short term employee benefits including holiday pay and annual bonuses are also accrued as services are rendered. |

| Financial instruments |
| Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. |
| Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and are measured on initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the group may not be able to collect all amounts due. |
| Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank. |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the group are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the group after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of any direct issue costs. |
| Interest bearing bank loans which meet the criteria of basic financial instruments are initially recorded at the present value of cash payable to the bank, usually being equivalent to the proceeds received net of direct issue costs. These liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Going concern |
| The directors have considered the company's and group's ability to continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements and have concluded that they consider the company and group a going concern. |
