Strategic Report
for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The director presents her strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2022.

REVIEW OF BUSINESS
The director considers that the company has performed well considering the level of uncertainty in the wider economic environment caused by brexit and inflationary pressures.

Turnover for the year has increased from £19,383,035 last year to £25,707,924 current year which represents an increase of 32%. The company continues to have a strong customer base.

Gross profit has increased from £9,636,309 last year to £11,811,694 current year. The gross margin has reduced from 49.7% to 45.9%. The company continues to generate significant gross and net profits.

The profit before tax and dividends has increased from £484,575 to £642,698. Costs have been well controlled throughout the period by the company.

This has resulted in the net assets of the company increasing from £2,253,347 to £2,723,722 as the company continues to build strength and liquidity.

PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The key risks and uncertainties faced by the company include cost fluctuations, financial risk, liquidity risk and trade debtor risk.

Cost Fluctuations -
This risk has become more prevalent with increases in inflation being felt across the supply chain. The company has established strong relationships with its key supplier base and developed this during the pandemic to support future sales growth and maintain high levels of customer service.

Trade debtor risk -
Trade Debtor risk is managed and controlled through a disciplined approach to credit management and the extensive screening of all new business prospects. Existing customers are also periodically screened through a recognised credit risk management product provider.

Financial risk -
The company is exposed to variety of financial risks and undertakes regular reviews to identify such risks and wherever possible put processes in place to mitigate such risks. The company monitors changes in interest rates to ensure that costs are controlled well.

Liquidity risk -

Liquidity risk arises from the company's management of working capital. It is the risk the company will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial obligations as they fall due. The company monitors its performance against budgets and reviews the rolling cashflow position on a regular basis. Debtor and creditor positions are reviewed as are bank account balances. The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis as it is expected that the company can meet obligations as they fall due.

Whilst uncertainty still remains, the company remains positive in relation to its strong order book and the strong relationship it has built with its customers and suppliers. Due to the strength of the company and it's diverse customer base, the directors consider that there are no material risks in the coming year.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
The director is pleased with the continued profitability of the company and anticipates continued success in the future.

Report of the Director
for the Year Ended 31 December 2022

The director presents her report with the financial statements of the company for the year ended 31 December 2022.

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY
The principal activity of the company in the year under review was that of the sale of computer software.

DIVIDENDS
No dividends will be distributed for the year ended 31 December 2022.

DIRECTOR
J Magee held office from 1 January 2022 until after 31 December 2022 but prior to the date of this report.
Miss M Raleigh was appointed as a director after 31 December 2022 but prior to the date of this report.

DIRECTOR'S RESPONSIBILITIES STATEMENT
The director is responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the Report of the Director and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless she is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is 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 director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable her to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. She is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

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

AUDITORS
The auditors, Michael Dufty Partnership Ltd, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting.

Miss M Raleigh - Director

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
ConnectWise Ltd

Qualified Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of ConnectWise Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2022 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matters described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:

- give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs at 31 December 2022 and of its profit for the year then ended;
- have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
- have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for qualified opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. We have been unable to satisfy ourselves that the sales figure of £25,707,924 recorded in the accounts is complete and free from material error.

ConnectWise Ltd is a UK subsidiary of an American parent company. The books and records for the group which includes ConnectWise Ltd are held and maintained in the US. The group auditors have expressed an unqualified opinion for the group and this has provided certain comfort that books and records maintained as a group are materially accurate.

The groups UK accountant provides us with statutory accounts, the information having been extracted from group's accounting records, and we have endeavoured to audit these accounting statements.

Included within the accounts are material debtor and creditor provisions for unbilled and deferred income. Whilst we have received certain information and explanations surrounding these provisions we are of the opinion that we haven't received sufficient information to determine whether these provisions are complete or free from material misstatement.

Consequently we have not been able to determine whether any adjustments to sales are necessary nor are we able to satisfy ourselves that the sales figure is free from material error.

The group company applies a transfer pricing charge based on a 2.5% total operating margin. The applicable rate was determined by Ernst & Young LLP, Tampa, Florida. As a consequence of this transfer pricing policy any material misstatement with regards to sales and therefore profitability of the company is limited to 2.5% of the misstatement.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's 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 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
ConnectWise Ltd


Other information
The director is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director, 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Strategic Report and the Report of the Director have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
- the information given in the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Director has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

- the information given in the Report of the Director for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
- the Report of the Director has 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 company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Report of the Director.

Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Report of the Director.

Arising solely from the limitation in scope of our work relating to unbilled and deferred income, referred to above;
- we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and
- we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept.

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:
- returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or
- the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
- certain disclosures of director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or
- the director was not entitled to prepare the financial statements in accordance with the small companies regime and take advantage of the small companies' exemption from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Report of the Director.

Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of
ConnectWise Ltd


Responsibilities of director
As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement set out on page four, the director is 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 director determines 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 director is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has 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.

The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:

Based on our understanding of the company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations relating to employment and tax legislation, data protection rules, anti-bribery, environmental law and the Health and Safety Executive legislation. We considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006 and the UK Corporate Governance Code. We evaluated management's incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls) and determined that the principal risks were related to fraudulent financial reporting and management bias in accounting estimate. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included, but were not limited to:

Discussions with management, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud;

Reading key correspondence with external legal advisors;

Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates;

Identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, unusual words and unusual users.

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we would become aware of it. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional omissions, misrepresentations, collusion or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.

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
ConnectWise Ltd


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.

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.

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

2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

Costs capitalised to obtain revenue contracts
The company capitalises incremental costs of obtaining a non-cancellable subscription and support revenue contracts.The company recognises an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The company has determined that certain sales incentive programs meet the requirements to be capitalised. The capitalised amounts consist primarily of sales commissions paid to the company's direct sales force. Capitalised amounts also include (1) amounts paid to employees other than direct sales force who earn incentive pay-outs under annual compensation plans that are tied to the value of contracts acquired, (2) commissions paid to employees upon renewals of subscription and support contracts, and (3) the associated payroll taxes and fringe benefit costs associated with the payments to the company's employees. Capitalised costs to obtain a contract are amortised on a straight-line basis over the expected period of benefit, which the company has estimated, based on historical experience and other analysis, to be three years. The capitalised amounts are recovered through future revenue streams under all non-cancellable customer contracts.

3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

Accounts receivable
A receivable is recorded when an unconditional right to invoice and receive payment exists, such that only the passage of time is required before payment of consideration is due. Timing of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of invoicing to customers. The company's standard billing terms are monthly in advance or in arrears or quarterly or annually in advance depending on the product.

The company reviews outstanding receivable balances on a regular basis to assess their collectability and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts which reflects its best estimate of potentially uncollectable accounts receivable.

Unbilled accounts receivable
Unbilled accounts receivable is a contract asset related to the delivery of the company's subscription services and professional services for which the related billings will occur in a future period. Unbilled accounts receivable consists of revenue recognised for services performed but not yet billed and is included in accounts receivable, net in the balance sheet.

Deferred revenue
Deferred revenue primarily consists of billings in advance of revenue recognition from subscription services, including non-cancellable and non- refundable committed funds and deposits. Deferred revenue is recognised as revenue recognition criteria is met. Customers are typically invoiced for these agreements in regular monthly or annual instalments and revenue is recognised rateably over the contractual subscription period. The deferred revenue balance is influenced by several factors, including contract duration, the compounding effects of renewals, invoice timing, size and pricing terms. Deferred revenue that will be recognised during the succeeding twelve month period are recorded as deferred revenue, amounts falling due within one year, and the remaining portion is recorded as deferred revenue, amounts falling due after more than one year.
