Chair’s Report

As chair of Fedcap UK, I am proud of the impact our services, provided by Fedcap UK and its subsidiaries, continue to have in the UK market, effecting positive change for our customers, our people and our funders. During the last 12 months, whilst our employability programmes have continued to significantly impact more people who are unemployed, inspiring confidence in them to pursue and achieve their goal of returning to work, we have also diversified our business bringing to life, the group wide strategy of offering high impact services, across four integrated practice areas. At Fedcap, we deliver research-based solutions that opens the door to economic mobility and wellbeing for barriered communities. The social value brought about through the services we offer is fundamental to supporting government with the achievement of its long term plans and it is therefore crucial that we continue to successfully deliver our range of contracts which activities fulfil our charitable goals within the UK and across the world.

Fedcap UK is a subsidiary of the Fedcap Group, a New York based charity. The Fedcap Group, through a network of nonprofit affiliates and a footprint across the U.S., U.K., and Canada, serves more than 332,000 people each year. Across our four integrated practice areas – education, workforce development, health, and economic development – we deliver research-based solutions for a broad cross-section of individuals facing barriers including supporting people to move into long term sustainable employment, upskilling individuals, supporting people with disabilities, people affected by substance misuse, veterans, children and working families.

Ou strategic work is delivered through four integrated practice areas

Education

Education is a driver of lifelong opportunity. From early childhood to post-secondary and technical training, our programmes span every stage of learning. Children are prepared and supported to thrive in school, young people with barriers receive critical support, and adults gain skills to succeed in college/university and the 21st-century workforce.

Employability

Employability is a bridge to economic stability and business growth. Through individual tailored support packages, industry-driven training, soft skills development, and postplacement support, individuals are prepared for in-demand jobs. Our programmes also help employers meet evolving staffing needs across the U.K., U.S. and Canada.

Health

Health is foundational to stability and economic mobility. Our programmes focus on public health education, care coordination, and access to treatment, reducing hospitalisations and improving long-term outcomes. Partnerships with integrated provider networks help individuals manage chronic conditions and stay connected to care.

Economic Development

Economic development expands opportunity by building strong businesses, skilled talent, and resilient communities. Through commercial enterprises, workforce investment, and green innovation, our programs generate jobs and strengthen local economies. We bring funding and tools to historically excluded communities to support growth and build better futures.

These practice areas are all targeted to creating opportunities and improving the lives of people with barriers to economic mobility. Its aim in the UK is to serve UK people, providing services and a wealth of experience which has made us a large successful charity.

During the reporting year we continued to successfully deliver our contracts across England and Scotland whilst progressing our diversification strategy aimed at building a long term sustainable business where our people can have challenging and exciting careers across a number of different business lines including health, education, skills and training.

Within Fedcap Employment Limited, we have continued to successfully deliver the Restart South Central and IPES contracts, held with the Department of Work and Pensions along with Restart Northwest and Working Health contracts under subcontracting arrangements. In addition, the entity secured a new health contract with Surrey County Council whilst securing extensions to its Inspiring Futures programme with Cheshire East Council and its New Directions contract with Hampshire County Council. The period saw the IPES contract come to an end with an efficient exit and closure, concluding this contract successfully after 6 years of delivery.

The impact of the IPES contract, which was the first contract awarded to Fedcap Employment Ltd in 2019, supported 1,757 people with disabilities and complex needs over a minimum period of 12 months both in pre-employment and in work. The programme supported 952 people into work with 52 people registering as self-employed, an amazing outcome on a truly impactful programme for people in the Southwest of England.

Building on this, to September 2025, Fedcap Employment Limited welcomed 19,387 customers across all of its programmes and moved 8,837 people were supported into employment and other contractual milestones aimed at improving people’s health.

Looking to Scotland, Start Scotland Limited has continued to successfully deliver the Fair Start Scotland contract across their three allocated lots, East, South-West and North-East. The entity continued to service the contract with starts on the programme having ended in March 2025 and services anticipated to continue to be delivered through to March 2026 whilst participants complete their time on programme.

Chair Report (cont.)

As the main subcontractor of Start Scotland Limited, Fedcap Employment Scotland Limited also performed well during the period. Performance in year was in line with expectation given the position of the contract in its lifecycle with most customers completing their time on programme and or moving into employment. 91 people into employment and 198 people into further employment when there first position ceased. Overall, sustained employment trended in line with expectations across all three sustainment milestones of 13, 26 and 52 weeks with 634 people sustaining employment for one year or more, which is a major indicator of the success of the programme.

As part of the wider diversification strategy, in the reporting period Fedcap Employment Scotland Limited launched a new business line, bringing to market a new education and learning offer from Fedcap to the UK, opening our first Apex Centre in January 2025. Since then, 69 participants have undertaken our Photovoltaic installation course, a 12 week National Open College Network “NOCN” accredited course of which 38 people completed in year, achieving a level 3 qualification in Solar installation and 31 continue with their studies towards the qualification. In addition, all participants have achieved a level 1 Award for Health & Safety in a construction environment.

Also in the year the health contract held by Fedcap Employment Scotland with Dumfries and Galloway council came to an end in March 2025. The contract funded by Dumfries and Galloway (D&G) Council was to provide Health & Wellbeing support to individuals with health challenges to supplement D&G Council’s Employability Service. Offering six personalised health one-toone interventions to 50 customers, of which 100% of customers reported improvement in mental wellbeing, measured through Warwick Edinburgh Wellbeing Scale and 97% reported a reduction in functional impairment with improved mental health, measured through Work and Social Adjustment Scale.

Building on the diversification strategy and strategic goal to grow the UK business to £100 million revenue per annum, we are pleased to announce that Fedcap UK successfully combined with three new organisations during the reporting period. These combinations brought to life business lines across all four of our strategic practice areas which we believe are the key to opening doors to economic mobility and wellbeing.

In May 2025, Fedcap UK successfully partnered with Elite Supported Employment Agency, a registered charity working with people with disabilities or those at a disadvantage, aged 14 to 65+ across South, Mid and West Wales. Its mission is far-reaching - to support hundreds of people every year with vocational opportunities, training and employment through our wide network of partnerships, funders and stakeholders, and through four business lines:

Elite Supported Employment Services Elite Training Services Elite Paper Solutions (social enterprise) Elite Clothing Solutions (social enterprise)

Since joining forces with Fedcap UK and the wider Fedcap Group, Elite has expanded its current services across more regions, piloting new programmes aimed at supporting individuals with autism, mental health conditions, and complex disabilities, and benefit from Fedcap’s operational infrastructure and best-in-class programme models.

The Elite partnership was swiftly followed by the combination of Fedcap UK with The Verdancy Group in June 2025. The Verdancy Group are a leading provider of green skills training and sustainability consultancy based in Scotland. Their mission is to inspire positive environmental change within communities, be that at home, in school or in the workplace. This mission has a strong alignment with the wider Fedcap Group mission and a combination would bring additional capabilities and service offers into the group whilst offering a strong foundation on which to grow the verdancy business.

Since it combined, The Verdancy Group has launched its green skills training offer through its Apex Training arm, secured two new contracts providing retrofit training to individuals across the UK and continued to provide consultancy and environmental guidance to organisations, schools and communities.

Finally in July 2025, Fedcap UK secured its final partnership in the reporting period, combining with BP Learning UK. Big Picture Learning is an inclusive provision for children in Years 5 – 8 which is part of a local offering in partnership with the City of Doncaster Council. The main focus is to support young people who struggle with the challenges of transitioning to secondary school, or maintaining a successful position in mainstream education, with the aim of ensuring they can remain without the need for further, more complex intervention at a later stage, and crucially before they are disillusioned and distanced from school. With this partnership the education practice area was formally established in the UK.

Chair Report (cont.)

With the establishment of three practice areas though Fedcap Employment, BP Learning UK and Elite Supported Employment Agency, the Trustees made the strategic decision to launch the health practice area formally in the UK. Kennedy Scott Limited, a dormant member of the Fedcap UK was renamed Fedcap Insynery Limited in readiness for the implementation of a new strategic health plan aimed at offering health solutions across a broad section of services, through integrated care coordination and community health initiatives. At the end of the reporting period, Fedcap Insynergy (formerly Kennedy Scott Limited) remained dormant and still remains dormant with the name change enacted on the 5[th] November 2025.

With the growth of Fedcap UK, the introduction of new subsidiaries and activation of the four integrated practice areas in the UK, the trustees made the decision to reorganise the group structure and across Q4 of the reporting period moved all corporate services into Fedcap UK. This move ensured that the group was structured to effectively respond to a diverse organizational structure with a range of service offerings, ensuring corporate services where structured to respond to UK group needs ensuring the continued success of the UK Charity, its subsidiaries, their mission and the achievement of the wider Fedcap Group mission.

In closing, myself and the trustees continue to be strongly committed to our mission and are excited at the future prospects of the UK charity and the positive impact it can have on UK society. We would like to offer a special thank you to everyone who has helped support our mission during the year with a particular thank you to our people, in what has been an extremely busy year and to our customers who access our range of services, we are here to help you at each step of your journey.

subject to generational unemployment and providing the tools, confidence, individual support and guidance to break the cycle and improve the lives of themselves and their families. As a charity, we are committed to advancement of individuals whatever their barrier may be, and this is realised through the programmes, initiatives and contracts we run.

Strategic Report

Achievements & Performance

During the year the charity, through its subsidiaries Fedcap Employment Limited, Fedcap Employment Scotland Limited, Fedcap Insynergy (formerly Kennedy Scott Limited), Elite Supported Employment Limited, The Verdancy Group, BP Learning UK and Start Scotland Limited have provided a range of services aimed at opening the doors to economic mobility and wellbeing. These services are aligned to the charity’s purpose and main activities, the charity’s activities and performance are detailed below.

During the period, as well as our significant achievements we have faced many challenges, from working to retain our people in the organisation against a backdrop of high attrition in the industry, working to successfully integrate newly combined organisations into the UK Group and continuing to diversifying our contract portfolio and revenue streams, removing reliance on a small number of funders and varying our revenue steam to an optimum blend which provides long term financial security. Whilst we have done well, we continue to review our performance and continue to reflect improvements into our continuous improvement approach, which supports the achievement of our 5-year strategic plan and strategic objectives linked to business growth and service diversification and impact.

For the period our main tool for performance measurement continues to be the annual budget. The budget framework captures our financial and non-financial targets and indicators such as numbers into employment, number of interventions per advisor, number of guided learning hours delivered, number of successful learning outcomes and headcount ratio’s. With regards to performance the results were good during the period, despite the changes occurring within the UK group structure and a significant increase of flows onto our restart programmes, compared to the prior year . Overall, all entities achieved budgeted revenue targets and profitability margins where as anticipated growing the reserves from surpluses overall to fund the charity.

Financial Review

Key Financial Performance Indicators

The majority of the group’s income is obtained from employment contracts held with the Department of Work and Pensions and Scottish Government. These contracts are aligned to the Charity’s principal objectives, in particular the advancement of social inclusion through employment. During the year ended 30 September 2025, the group generated income from activities which amounted to £42,892,526 and other income amounting to £7,042, total expenditure of £41,729,908 resulting in a surplus of income over expenditure of £1,169,660. These results are an improvement on prior year, as the revenue diversified offsetting the reduction of revenue in Scotland with the close of the Fair Start Scotland contract. At 30 September 2025, the group reported net assets of £ 5,514,359 an increase of 27% on prior year net assets. It held fixed assets

11

Docusign Envelope ID: 6520B61D-B9FF-8695-8232-4827AF037EE5

Commercial in Confidence

Fedcap UK

with a book value of £2,601,179 and a cash position of £3,871,199. All of the expenditure shown in the Statement of Financial Activities is in furtherance of the UK Charity’s objectives.

The improved position of the group balance sheet for Fedcap UK and its subsidiaries ensures there are sufficient cash reserves to meet its financial and working capital requirements as and when required, for the 12 month period following the date of signing of this report, ensuring the Charity and its subsidiaries can continue as a going concern. This is outlined further in the going concern section of these accounts.

The Charity generated gift aid from subsidiaries of £ 1,835,593 and total expenditure of £116,083, a net loss on impairment of the investment of subsidiaries amounting to £113,326 resulting in a net surplus for the year to the 30[th] September 2025 of income over expenditure of £1,606,184, and net assets of £2,910,300.

Reserves policy

The board of directors have established a reserves policy to ensure that the majority of the surplus generated in the UK is utilised to further our non-profit mission both here and in the US, aiming to improve the long term self-sufficiency and social well-being of the people we work with.

At 30th September 2025 the total reserves stand at £5,514,359 and are calculated as follows: Total of unrestricted funds £4,736,663 Minority interest £777,696 Total reserves £5,514,359

To ensure the minimum level of reserves achieved we aim to maintain a target level of free reserves equal to 8% of revenue, with a range between £3.4 to £4 million, at year end free reserves held total £2,135,484 (unrestricted funds less total fixed assets) which is below the target range. This is due to investment in new business in this financial year and will ensure we achieve our objective for diversification in business to provide financial stability for the charity and its activities to meet financial commitments as they fall due.

During the year as funds and surplus improved, the charity’s subsidiaries agreed to gift an agreed amount of surplus into the UK charity via a deed of covenant, whilst retaining a sufficient amount of reserves in each entity to ensure there is sufficient working capital and funds available for investment. Fedcap UK has agreed in year to gift 3.1% of revenue onwards to our parent, the US charity the Fedcap Group in furtherance of the global charitable objectives, and align to Fedcap UK charitable objectives..

To ensure future management of risks that it faces and to fund future work to achieve its aims, the board of directors are monitoring our targeted level of free reserves.

12

Docusign Envelope ID: 6520B61D-B9FF-8695-8232-4827AF037EE5

Commercial in Confidence

Fedcap UK

Free reserves or unrestricted funds can be spent or applied at the discretion of the trustees to further any of the charity’s purposes.

Treasury Policy

The charity manages its cash in line with the Fedcap Group wide international treasury management policy with cash held in entities to the equivalent of 2.5 times working capital requirements with excess cash held in a group bank account and recorded as a receivable on the UK entities balance sheet. The decision to approve transfers of cash from UK to Group sits with the Trustees of the Charity and the management of the international treasury management is delegated to the Fedcap Group CFO. For use of cash held in entity accounts for investment, decisions are delegated to those entities management teams in accordance with their Treasury Management and Reinvestment Policies and managed through the Executive Investment board.

Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting

The UK Government’s Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) regulations require us to report on our emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and energy consumption.

Carbon Emissions for the reporting year were 23.5 tonnes CO2e with 100% arising from Energy in Buildings and 0% from Business Travel, this consumption and emissions data is summarised as follows:

Group Unit 24-25 23-24 %

Figures collated from a full data set and analysis that have been independently audited to ensure they comply with internationally recognised standards such as Green House Gas and Science Based Target Protocol’s and is consistent with SECR requirements.

We began to baseline data at the start of 2023 and we will continue to improve our carbon accounting methodologies in line with best practice, and ensure our carbon emission inventory accurately reflects any structural changes that affect the scope or boundary of our emissions. Emissions from Scope 1 & 2 have been measured in accordance with SECR requirements. The Scope 3 emissions have been excluded this year while we improve data completeness and

13

Docusign Envelope ID: 6520B61D-B9FF-8695-8232-4827AF037EE5

Commercial in Confidence

Fedcap UK

accuracy. These were reported previously and will be reinstated in future reporting cycles. As this is our third annual report presented for the year 2024/25, overall emissions are relatively static. As data reporting improves, we aim to set realistic timebound carbon reduction targets in order to work towards achieving our 2035 Net Zero target. As a people based, service business we feel the most relevant intensity metric to report on is our staff FTE we are developing output metrics internally relating to our carbon emissions also.

Renewable energy statement / landlord ‘other’ energy

Our premises are leased, for most offices we are liable for the utility supply contracts and where possible we use 100% renewable electricity contracts. For some of our offices, where the landlord supplies utilities, we have approached these landlords to supply data to understand the energy mix, to date, we have had a low response to the survey, and this is an ongoing focus for Fedcap.

Energy efficiency measures

We have completed a sample energy audit during the reporting period and are currently undertaking a full ESOS (Energy Savings and Opportunities Scheme) audit and will reflect on the recommendations from this in developing future energy efficiency measures.

Going Concern

The consolidated financial performance of the charity is reporting a net surplus of £1,169,660 (2024: £472,662 deficit) of income over expenditure for the reporting period. The group surplus was driven by underlying performance of its subsidiaries.

The overall improvement of the group’s financial position and considering the UK group three-year financial plan, the charity deems it has access to sufficient cash reserves within the UK to meet its financial and working capital requirements as and when required for the 12 month period following the date of signing of this report, ensuring the Charity and its subsidiaries can continue as a going concern. The cash balance for the reporting period of £ 3,871,199 ensures that the charity and its subsidiaries can settle their liabilities as they arise and ensures the group’s ability to operate as a going concern.

The Trustees have considered and agreed a three-year financial plan of its current business, using all available information and data including the strategic plan for investment. It has been assessed for impact on the overall financial position of each entity within the Group with consideration of working capital and capital investment requirements to deliver our contractual obligations, grow the business organically and by acquisition.

The assessment includes management undertaking sensitivity analysis/reverse stress testing on the groups financial position. The main sensitivities and stress tests were applied for (i) starts on programme; (ii) achieving performance offer in line with our business model, and (iii) attracting new business and new revenue streams into the group. These scenarios tested revenue, costs, profitability and cashflows and were calculated over a 3 year period: FY26 to FY28 and the

14

Docusign Envelope ID: 6520B61D-B9FF-8695-8232-4827AF037EE5

Commercial in Confidence

Fedcap UK

sensitivities/stress testing scenario focussed on the impact of removing new business and revenue reduction by reducing starts onto the programme and conversion rates into outcomes.

Management then assessed the likelihood of this happening and deemed that these conditions where highly unlikely due to a number of factors

In the final analysis, management and the charities trustees are satisfied that the Group remains a going concern for the foreseeable future and it is able to meet all of its obligations, both financial and non-financial from its current financial position.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The charity has a comprehensive risk management process and major risks are captured in our risk management system, Optial, and reviewed by the Executive Team and the Trustees on a regular basis. A Risk and Audit Committee was established in the previous year, and meets monthly to discuss systematic and non-systematic risks. We have established a governance function led by a Director of Risk and Audit who oversees our risk management framework and our fraud and whistleblowing activities with a direct access to the Fedcap UK board and participates in the audit sub-committee meetings. A risk register process is fully embedded into the organisation where risks are identified and categorised, actions are identified and taken where necessary to mitigate risks. All areas of risk are evaluated in the business including operational, financial, IT, governance and compliance, people, and development.

As part of our 3-year strategy and investment programme we have established a Project Management office, who in conjunction with the appropriate Executive Sponsor and project strand business owner will manage the day to day risks of the programme. The following notes outline the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Fedcap Group.

The top three risks identified by the group going forwards are as follows:

Sustainable growth

As most of the income is from the subsidiaries with the Department of Work & Pensions, Scottish Government and other employability prime providers and there is a level of reliance on these streams of funding to cover financial requirements of the group and its entities. In addition, we need

15

Docusign Envelope ID: 6520B61D-B9FF-8695-8232-4827AF037EE5

Commercial in Confidence

Fedcap UK

to ensure that we have sufficient resources to continue to build our business development pipeline, as well as the ability to identify potential funding opportunities across a number of markets and funders. We have progressed our diversification strategy this year with the introduction of new funders and revenue streams and in addition our established business development function continue to pursue opportunities for all subsidiaries across a breadth of funders, geographies and service offers. The team operate a robust pipeline management process, overseen by our Commercial Director whose primary objective is to build long-term sustainable funding across all subsidiaries with a blend of revenue types between payment by results and fee for service. Pipelines of opportunities are reviewed on a weekly basis at the investment board.

Service delivery - volumes

All our funders have given indicative volumes on which revenue will be paid on for our performance by results contracts based on a set of underlying economic assumptions and the management team have based budgets and cashflow on these volumes, with prudent adjustments as required, however these volumes are not guaranteed. If volumes fluctuate, an increase could result in a requirement for increased funding, however a reduction in flows would result in a reduced contract value and failure to meet the minimum level of return originally forecast. This risk has been considered and forecasts tested for sensitivities and impact. Performance will be continually monitored by our Executive Team who will undertake continual dialogue with funders to understand the flows and how we can respond to demand whilst delivering contractual obligations.

Service delivery - performance

Whilst our contracts continue to perform well, particularly on the government’s flagship program Restart, the revenue of the charity’s subsidiaries are largely dependent on performance related pay. If performance falls below forecasted expectations, this can impact the UK group’s ability to meet its required returns for reinvestment. In particular, there is volatility on the achievement of cohort performance on the restart contract and it is crucial that each cohort performs. To mitigate this risk, we have established a taskforce which continually monitors cohort performance, rolled out enhanced performance reporting, and embedded a caseload management technique with a focus on cohorts.

Risk of Fraud/Mismanagement

The charity has a set of financial controls to minimise the risk of fraud and mismanagement by using expertise of key management teams within its entities.

Cash Flow Risk

The charity and its subsidiary entities have developed a full cashflow forecast in relation to the 3- year plan. This forecast considers the required working capital to successfully deliver our contracts and the investment requirement for delivering our growth targets.

Future Developments

The Charity’s plans, aims and objectives continue to be underpinned by the five year strategy set in 2023 with a target to become a highly successful charity by 2028. We will deliver this by being a fundamentally different kind of organisation – a not for profit that can develop scalable projects that deliver results by supporting people to improve their economic mobility and wellbeing. Sometimes delivering ourselves, sometimes working with great community organisations and helping them build capacity within their communities. This means strategic delivery through four integrated practice areas underpinned by 5 bold goals that measure the impact we have in delivering our vision and mission, these are:

A key area of the strategic plan is to grow the UK charitable activities to deliver a range of services, across four key practice areas, to a sustainable annual group revenue of £100m by 2028. In progressing our diversification strategy we have welcomed three new subsidiaries into the UK Group all with different offers, access to different geographies and funders.

In Employability, through Fedcap Employment Limited, we have entered into discussions to extend a key service contract with a major customer, securing an additional 12 months of service delivery beyond the original term. This extension is considered material to the entity as it represents a significant source of recurring revenue and reinforces our strategic objective of building a longterm, sustainable business. By maintaining continuity with a valued client, we strengthen our market position and create greater visibility of future cash flows, supporting our commitment to stability and growth. In addition, in Scotland through Fedcap Employment Scotland Limited, it is the intention of the Board to position the entity in readiness to respond rapidly to any further employability funding commission by the devolved government whilst continuing to service and

conclude the long standing Fair Start Scotland contract. Both entities are currently undertaking extensive commissioning activity in response to a number of government and local authority opportunities in particular those currently being commissioned by the Ministry of Justice and by local authorities through the connect to work programme.

In Education, between Fedcap Employment Scotland and The Verdancy Group, the Apex training centres will be refined, aligning provision with emerging industry needs in low-carbon technologies and retrofit. The Centre intends to expand course offerings and delivery formats to support broader employer demand and learner progression. Planned developments will enhance regional capacity and strengthen engagement with key sectors. A second Apex centre is planned to open in Scotland in Q2 of the next financial year. Both entities have also been successful in securing a new contract with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero to deliver their warm homes programmes building their brand and customer base as an organisation which provides high quality impactful training and additional funding through local authority Bootcamp funding. In addition, there is planned expansion of the Big Picture Learning offer through multi-site offerings and further potential acquisitions in the education space across 2026.

In Health, we will continue to successfully deliver our existing contracts whilst continuing to monitor potential opportunities across a range of funders and geographies. To support this the Trustees have enacted the strategic decision to launch the health practice area formally in the UK and renaming Kennedy Scott Limited, a dormant member of the Fedcap UK, to Fedcap Insynergy – a new health division aimed at offering health solutions across a broad section of services, through integrated care coordination and community health initiatives. The name change was enacted on the 5[th] November 2025.

Finally, in Economic Development, through our subsidiary Elite Supported Employment, we plan to grow our social enterprise models taking to market more commercial offerings in the next 12-18 months whilst capitalising on the upcoming market opportunity in Wales, Connect to work, aimed at offering a full Supported Employment provision for the next 3 years. This will bring stability and growth to this long established charity to continue to deliver it good work in Wales and potentially across the rest of the UK.

Trustees’ Responsibilities Statement

The trustees (who are also the Directors of Fedcap UK for the purposes of company law) are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the trustees have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law), including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland.

Under the company law the trustees must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and the group; and of the incoming resources and application of resources, including its income and expenditure of the charitable group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:

The trustees are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the charitable company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. The trustees are responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The trustees confirm that:

Independent auditor's report to the members of Fedcap UK

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Fedcap UK (the ‘parent charitable company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 30 September 2025, which comprise the Group and Parent Charitable Company Statements of Financial Activities, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Balance Sheets, the Group and Parent Charitable Company Cash Flow Statements 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, the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We have been appointed as auditor under the Companies Act 2006 and report in accordance with regulations made under that Act. 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 ‘Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the group and parent charitable 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.

Conclusions relating to going concern

We are responsible for concluding on the appropriateness of the trustees’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group’s and the parent charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report to the related

24

Docusign Envelope ID: 6520B61D-B9FF-8695-8232-4827AF037EE5

Commercial in Confidence

Fedcap UK

disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify the auditor’s opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or parent charitable company to cease to continue as a going concern.

In our evaluation of the trustees’ conclusions, we considered the inherent risks associated with the group’s and parent charitable company’s business model including effects arising from macroeconomic uncertainties such as inflation, we assessed and challenged the reasonableness of estimates made by the trustees and the related disclosures and analysed how those risks might affect the group’s and parent charitable company’s financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustees’ 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 parent charity’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 other information comprises the information included in the Trustees’ Annual Report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the Trustees’ Annual Report. 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.

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 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.

Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:

25

Commercial in Confidence

Fedcap UK

Matter on which we are required to report under the Companies Act 2006

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and parent charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors’ Report included in the Trustees' Annual Report.

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

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:

Responsibilities of trustees

As explained more fully in the Trustees' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 22-23, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) 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 trustees 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 trustees are responsible for assessing the group and the parent charitable 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 trustees either intend to liquidate the group or parent charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s 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 an auditor’s 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.

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud, is detailed below:

if non-compliance were to occur: Charities SORP (FRS 102), the Charities Act 2011, the Companies Act 2006, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice) and tax legislation.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the charitable 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 charitable 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 charitable company and the charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the period ending on 30 September 2025

1. General information

Fedcap UK (the Company) is a private company limited by guarantee and incorporated in the UK. Its registered head office is located at Boaz House, Massey Road, Thornaby, United Kingdom, TS17 6DY.

2. Accounting policies

2.1. Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019) - (Charities SORP (FRS 102)), and the Companies Act 2006. Fedcap UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS 102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note(s).

The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£).

2.2. Going Concern

The consolidated financial performance of the charity is reporting a net surplus of £1,169,660 (2024: £472,662 deficit) of income over expenditure for the reporting period. The group surplus was driven by underlying performance of its subsidiaries.

The overall improvement of the group’s financial position and considering the UK group threeyear financial plan, the charity deems it has access to sufficient cash reserves within the UK to meet its financial and working capital requirements as and when required for the 12 month period following the date of signing of this report, ensuring the Charity and its subsidiaries can continue as a going concern. The cash balance for the reporting period of £ 3,871,199 ensures that the charity and its subsidiaries can settle their liabilities as they arise and ensures the group’s ability to operate as a going concern.

The Trustees have considered and agreed a three-year financial plan of its current business, using all available information and data including the strategic plan for investment. It has been assessed for impact on the overall financial position of each entity within the Group with consideration of working capital and capital investment requirements to deliver our contractual obligations, grow the business organically and by acquisition.

The assessment includes management undertaking sensitivity analysis/reverse stress testing on the groups financial position. The main sensitivities and stress tests were applied for (i) starts on programme; (ii) achieving performance offer in line with our business model, and (iii)

attracting new business and new revenue streams into the group. These scenarios tested revenue, costs, profitability and cashflows and were calculated over a 3 year period: FY26 to FY28 and the sensitivities/stress testing scenario focussed on the impact of removing new business and revenue reduction by reducing starts onto the programme and conversion rates into outcomes.

Management then assessed the likelihood of this happening and deemed that these conditions where highly unlikely due to a number of factors

In the final analysis, management and the charities trustees are satisfied that the Group remains a going concern for the foreseeable future and it is able to meet all its obligations, both financial and non-financial from its current financial position.

2.3. Accounting for the consolidation of non-charitable subsidiaries

The income and expenditure of Fedcap UK’s subsidiaries are included in the consolidated accounts for the full reporting period or from their date of acquisition. The income and expenditure of subsidiaries are only included in the consolidated accounts until the date on which the parent charity ceases to control the subsidiary. As at the reporting date all subsidiaries continue to be controlled. Within the combination Fedcap Employment Scotland limited owns a shareholding in Start Scotland Limited of 51%. The minority interest in Start Scotland Limited of 49% (The Lennox Partnership) has been accounted for by reducing their share of the income and expenditure within the financial statements produced.

2.4. Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the period ending on 30 September 2025

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 the following conditions are satisfied:

There are two main types of funding models across its contract, these are a payment by results framework and for some contracts a cost recovery payment model. For these contracts revenue is recognised to the extent of the costs incurred in the delivery and performance of the contracts and their obligations therein. Recognition occurs in the period that the costs were incurred when all the standard recognition criteria outlined above have been satisfied.

Fixed service fees paid in line with contractual year are measured against the performance of services delivered in the financial year and, the net result is a deferral of income to be recognised in subsequent years.

2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Any individual item purchased below £1,000 is not capitalised and expensed through the Income and Expenditure in the reported period, however if grouped to other items and exceeds £1,000 will be capitalised.

All depreciation is charged over the life of the relevant contract, or over three years if the asset is not directly attributable to a particular contract and applied on a straight-line basis, as follows:

Freehold property assets are initially measured at cost less accumulated depreciation, and have been revalued annually, and carried at revalued amounts, with the latest valuation 19[th] December 2024. The fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses as a result the policy then the resulting gain or loss on valuation.

Notes to the Financial Statements

For the period ending on 30 September 2025

An increase in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of a revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, unless it reverses a charge for impairment that has previously been recognised as expenditure within the statement of financial activities. A decrease in the carrying amount of an asset as a result of revaluation, is recognised in other recognised gains and losses, except to which it offsets any previous revaluation gain, in which case the loss is shown within other recognised gains and losses on the statement of financial activities. 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 Statement of Financial Activities.

Investment property

Investment property is initially recorded at cost, which includes purchase price and any directly attributable expenditure. Investment property is revalued to its fair value at annually and any changes in fair value are recognised in income or expenditure

2.6. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets such as those arising from a development phase, will only be recognised if they meet the conditions of:

Intangible assets are measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. All intangible assets shall be considered to have a finite useful life and amortisation is charged on the following basis unless the finite life of the asset cannot be established, and it is therefore held to a maximum useful life of 10 years:

For each of the above, amortisation is calculated and applied on a straight-line basis.

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted retrospectively 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 Statement of Financial Activities.

2.7. Investments and Goodwill

Goodwill

In respect of a business acquisition at the acquisition date, the acquiree’s identifiable assets and liabilities that satisfy the recognition criteria are brought in at their fair values

at that date. The differences between the cost of the business combination and the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value (i.e. net of any non-controlling interest’s share) of the identifiable assets and liabilities is accounted for as goodwill, or so-called ‘negative goodwill’.

At the acquisition date, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is recognised as an asset. It is measured as the excess of cost over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised on acquisition.

Goodwill is generally amortised on a systematic basis over its useful economic life and is allocated with a finite life of up to a maximum of 10 years.

When the interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and provisions for contingent liabilities acquired exceeds the cost of the business combination (sometimes referred to as ‘negative goodwill’), the acquirer:

(a) reassesses the identification and measurement of the acquirer’s assets, liabilities and provisions for contingent liabilities and the measurement of the cost of the combination;

(b) records any excess that remains after the reassessment on the balance sheet immediately below any positive goodwill (striking a net total of the positive and negative goodwill); and

(c) recognises the excess in statement of financial activities in the periods in which the nonmonetary assets acquired are recovered. Any excess over the fair value of non-monetary assets acquired is recognised in profit or loss in the periods expected to benefit.

Investments

Investments in subsidiaries are held at cost less impairment and are reviewed annually for impairment.

2.8. Fund accounting

Unrestricted funds are available to spend on activities that further any of the purposes of charity. Designated funds are unrestricted funds of the charity which the trustees have decided at their discretion to set aside to use for a specific purpose. Restricted funds are donations which the donor has specified are to be solely used for particular areas of the Trust’s work or for specific employability projects being undertaken by the Trust. Fedcap UK only holds general unrestricted funds.

2.9. Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised on an accruals basis as a liability is incurred. It is recognised once there is a legal obligation to transfer economic benefit to a third party, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefits will be required in settlement and the amount of the obligation can be measured reliably. Expenditure is classified by activity. The costs of each activity are made up of the total direct costs and allocated support costs in undertaking each activity. Trading activities represents the costs associated with commercial trading operations relating to the income and expenditure incurred by the trading subsidiaries of the entity and its investment within the subsidiaries. Irrecoverable VAT is included within the expense items to which it relates.

2.10. Allocation of Support Costs

Support costs are those back office functions that support the work of the charity but do not directly undertake charitable activities. Support costs include property costs, audit fees, legal & professional and consultancy costs which support the Charity’s Employability programmes and activities. These costs have been allocated between cost of generating income and expenditure on charitable activities. The basis on which support costs are allocated are set out in note 5.

2.11. Stocks

Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.

2.12. Debtors

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.

2.13. Creditors

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.

2.14. Leases and leased assets

At inception the company assesses agreements that transfer the right to use assets. The assessment considers whether the arrangement is, or contains, a lease based on the substance of the arrangement.

Operating Leased assets

Leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straightline basis over the period of the lease.

Operating leases are charged on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

For each rental property a separate provision for dilapidations is made at the start of the lease under the dilapidations provision accounting policy. This is for potential dilapidations costs, based on information provided by our third-party property partner and held on the balance sheet until the lease expires and is reviewed annually.

2.15. Tax

As a registered charity Fedcap UK is entitled to certain exemptions from corporation tax on profits from investments and any trading activities carried on in furtherance of the Charity’s primary objectives. The subsidiary companies make qualifying donations from taxable profits.

Subsidiaries tax is recognised for current tax liability where tax is payable on taxable profit for the current and past periods. If the amount of tax paid for the current and past periods exceeds the amount of tax payable for those periods, the entity shall recognise the excess as a current tax asset. The current tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and . generates income

2.16. Cash and cash equivalents

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

2.17. Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities in respect of trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares. Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted . at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost

2.18. Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

A defined contribution pension plan is in place for all employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed pension contributions are paid to a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in the Statement of Financial Activites when they fall due. Amounts unpaid at the year end are disclosed as a creditor due within one year in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

3. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

When preparing the financial statements, management makes a number of judgements, estimates and assumptions about the recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income . and expenses and the assumptions do not give rise to any material uncertainty

3.1. Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The following are significant management judgements in applying the accounting policies of . the company that have the most significant effect on the financial statements

Notes to the Financial Statements For the period ending on 30 September 2025

3.1. Taxes

Determining income tax provisions involves judgement on the tax treatment of certain transactions. Deferred tax is recognised on tax losses not yet used and on temporary differences where it is probable that there will be taxable revenue against which these can be offset. Management is satisfied that on the balance of probability future taxable revenues will be generated against which tax losses will be available to offset. Deferred Tax asset at the year end was £66,403, more detail and rates can be found in notes 8 and 16. This note is representative of the group and arising from consolidation of its subsidiaries.

3.2. Extrapolation & Customer Service Standard provisions

A provision of £13,026 has been estimated within the ESF Links to Work contracts in respect of the results of validation work carried out on the DWP outcomes which are yet to be finalised. The value of the provision is based on reviews carried out by DWP following year end and charges applied to cover this period, the sensitivity to estimated extrapolation provision would adversely impact on contract performance if extrapolation rate increased by an excess of 200%. In addition, the Fair Start Scotland contract provision is estimated at £10,449 in respect of the estimate of potential validation work under regular review by the Scottish Government.

3.3. Fixed Fee Revenue and Costs – Restart Contract

In year 1 of the contract the initial requirement was to roll out the contract, and, at this time, there were lower starts onto the contract and management judged the fixed fee should be recognised in equal amounts for the first 12 months. A contract variation was issued in July 22 from DWP and on this basis management moved recognition to be based on actual starts as a proportion of fixed fee as a more appropriate estimate. Therefore, management judged that the remainder of the fixed fee should be recognised in relation to actual starts onto the contract, as this most accurately represents the consumption of costs in relation to the fixed fee ahead of the performance curve. Whilst we do expect volumes to fluctuate monthly the expectation is that the full contractual start profile will be met over the life of the contract. Therefore, recognition of

revenue on a start basis, that being actual or contractual profile as a minimum, is a realistic basis on which to base revenue recognition.

3.4. Dilapidations provision

The amount recognised is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the lease obligation at the end of the lease, considering the risks and uncertainties and reviewed annually, this is provided in the dilapidations provision. Note 16 of these accounts gives more details of the dilapidations provision amounting to £1,281,492 and the basis for calculation.

The negative goodwill in relation to Start Scotland Limited has been fully amortised, the addition to negative goodwill is the result of the business combination on 1[st] May 2025 with ELITE Supported Employment Agency Limited.

The 51% shareholding in Start Scotland Limited was acquired by Fedcap Employment Scotland Limited for a consideration of £1. Fedcap Employment Scotland Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fedcap UK.

Goodwill was recognised as the excess of the cost of the business combination over the net amount of the companies identifiable assets and liabilities. It is the policy of the company to treat goodwill as an asset with a finite useful life and therefore the asset is amortised between 5 and 10 years), if we were not able to determine a reliable estimate of the useful life of goodwill this will be over 5 years. Goodwill has been amortised in line with this policy at from the date of acquisition. The entities acquired were Verdancy Group Limited, Elite Supported Employment Agency Limited and Big Picture Learning for 100% of shareholding.
