Strategic report |
year ended 31st March 2023
The directors present their strategic report for the company for the year ended 31 March 2023. Review of the business in the period The principal activity of the company up to 30 September 2022 was that of the provision of design and digital marketing services. On 30 September 2022, the company transferred its trade and assets to another group company and became dormant. Total revenue in the period was £4,319,070 (2022: £10,455,424). EBITDA for the period was £474,173 (2022: £1,810,348). Position of the company's business at the end of the year The company has net current assets of £1 at the balance sheet date due to the transfer of trade and assets in the period (2022: £3,942,127). The company has net assets of £1 at the balance sheet date due to the transfer of trade and assets in the period (2022: £4,040,932). Principal risks and uncertainties facing the business Technology The Company operates in a continuously developing industry where there is an increased risk of services becoming obsolete or non-competitive. This risk will most certainly increase further with the advancement and use of AI across the industry. To mitigate this risk, the Company invests in research and development and continuously strives to evolve and innovate ensuring the services and solutions provided are relevant and delivered effectively. IT Infrastructure, cyber security and disaster recovery As a technology business these challenges are standard and represent an overall risk to conducting our business activities and will continue to develop in line with our continued growth. To mitigate these risks, the UNRVLD group undertakes the following: - Continuous monitoring and investment in IT infrastructure - Consolidated 'safe' list of vendors used to reduce the threat of cyber security - Standardisation of back-up processes to reduce operational customer and back-office risk- Maintaining UNRVLD's ISO27001 certification Recruitment and retention of resources The Company operates in a specialist and competitive sector. Retaining existing talent and attracting new talent remains a key priority for the UNRVLD group. The Company continues to invest in the personal and professional development and well-being of its people. We have a committed team comprising: Employee Experience Director, Senior People and Culture Manager, People and Culture Manager and Talent Partner, responsible for regularly reviewing our remuneration and incentive packages, better benefits and improved internal communications, diversity, culture, equal opportunities, corporate social responsibility and working conditions. Client retention and attraction The Company operates in a highly competitive market. The UNRVLD group prides itself on establishing and maintaining long-term relationships with clients, sustainable by our highly skilled and knowledgeable client services team. The UNRVLD group have dedicated strategy, new business and marketing teams, steered by our Chief Growth Officer and Chief Executive Officer. We continue to evolve our approach to targeting and winning new business, including the development of our relationships with our partners such as Optimizely, Sitecore and Contentful. Liquidity Poor trading and cash flow performance could lead to a lack of ongoing support from its lenders and an inability to raise additional funds to meet the needs of the business. To mitigate this risk the company monitors its cash generation closely and takes prompt action to mitigate any adverse trends. Future developments The UNRVLD group is experiencing good demand for its services from its existing clients and is expecting to see further growth in the next 12 months. The group also has an appetite for future strategic acquisitions which when combined with the organic growth, will serve to accelerate the UNRVLD group's ambition to grow into an industry leader in the UK and internationally.

Disclosure of information in the strategic report
Directors' responsibilities statement
The directors are responsible for preparing the strategic report, directors' report 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 profit or loss of the company for that period.
In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
make judgments 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company 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 hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
Sagars Accountants Ltd is deemed to have been re-appointed in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act 2006.

Opinion
Basis for opinion
Conclusions relating to going concern
We draw attention to note 3 to the financial statements which explains that in the year the company transferred its trade and assets to another group company and ceased trading and the directors therefore do not consider it to be appropriate to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. Accordingly the financial statements have been prepared on a basis other than going concern.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Other information
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 directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the directors' report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 an auditor’s report 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.
