Strategic Report for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
Financial risk management
The Company's financial instruments are exposed to certain financial risks, including credit risk, currency risk and liquidity risk. The Company's exposure to these risks and its approach for managing these remain consistent.
i) Credit risk:
The Company's exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of cash debtors receivable recognised at the reporting date. An allowance for estimated credit loss (“ECL”) was required on debtors. The Company determines its allowance for ECLs for non-payment and delinquent accounts based on historic trends of the probability of default timing of recoveries and the amount of loss incurred, adjusted for management’s judgment as to whether current economic and credit conditions are such that the actual losses are likely to be greater or less than suggested by historical trends. If future collections differ from estimates, future profits could be adversely affected.
The Company believes that the credit risk of debtors is limited for the following reasons:
a) Risk associated with concentration of credit risk is limited due to the credit rating of the Company's top 10 clients.
b) Management regularly reviews and assesses customer accounts and credit risk. Historically, bad debt as a percentage of revenue has been minimal.
ii) Currency risk:
The Company realizes a portion of sales and related expenses in foreign currency including Euros and is exposed to fluctuations in the value of these currencies relative to British Pounds.
iii) Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company is not able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through regular monitoring of financial results, actual cash flows and funding from the parent company.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual 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 of 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 apply them consistently; |
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
• |
state whether applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
• |
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.
Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2021, which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, Statement of Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Cash Flows, 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:
• |
give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 December 2021 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 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 auditor 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.
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 original financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
Opinion on other matter 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 Directors' Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
• |
the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of our 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 and the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
• |
adequate accounting records have not been kept, or 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 directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
• |
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities [set out on page 5], the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor 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.
The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the company.
Our approach was as follows:
• We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council, and UK taxation legislation.
• We obtained an understanding of how the company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.
• We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.
• We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.
• Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.
A further description of our responsibilities is available on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
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 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.

Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in the UK.
The address of its registered office is:
United Kingdom
These financial statements were authorised for issue by the
Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006'.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.
Revenue recognition
The Company records revenue from contracts with customers as follows:
i) Identify the contract with a customer;
ii) Identify the performance obligation in the contract;
iii) Determine the transaction price, which is the total consideration provided by the customer;
iv) Allocate the transaction price among the performance obligations in the contract based on their relative fair values; and
v) Recognise revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies a performance obligation.
The Company offers counselling and educational services, and targeted health and wellness programs, to support employee and family work, financial, personal and family needs. Most agreements may be terminated by the client upon 30 to 60 days notice. It is typical, however, for these agreements to continue for multiple years and many automatically renew on an annual basis. Revenue is recognised through a combination of the minimum contracted amount and incremental usage above minimum thresholds. The minimum contracted amount is recognised on a basis consistent with the provision of well-being services. Incremental usage is accrued when the minimum usage threshold is exceeded and subsequently billed.
Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Non-monetary items measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income 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 taxable income.
Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Fixtures, fittings & equipment |
3 years straight line |
Leasehold property |
5 years |
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the Company's business acquisitions over the fair value of the Company's share of the net identifiable assets of the acquired subsidiary at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is carried at cost less accumulated impairment charges, and is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made.
Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
Intangible assets
Intangible assets consist of contractual customer relationships, other intangibles acquired through acquisitions or business combinations and internally-developed software.
Internally-developed software is recognised at the aggregate cost of all eligible development costs, when all of the following criteria are met:
i) it is technically feasible to complete the software so that it will be available for use;
ii) management intends to complete the software and use or sell it;
iii) the Company is able to use or sell the software;
iv) future benefits associated with the software can be demonstrated;
v) adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the software are available; and
vi) the expenditures attributable to the software during its development can be reliably measured.
Eligible expenditures capitalised as part of internally-developed software include external direct costs of materials and services consumed in development, as well as payroll and payroll-related costs for employees who are directly associated with and who devote time to the development of the software. All costs incurred in the preliminary research stage of the projects are expensed as incurred.
Other intangible assets acquired as part if business combinations are measured initially at fair value.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:
Asset class |
Amortisation method and rate |
Goodwill |
10 years |
Customer lists |
10 years |
Other Intangibles |
10 years |
Internally-developed software |
5 Years |
Cash at bank and in hand
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Debtors
Trade debtors are amounts due from customers for services performed in the ordinary course of business.
Trade debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less allowance for ECLs. A provision for the impairment of trade debtors is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Lifeworks (U.K.) Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2021
Creditors
Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Creditors are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Dividends
Dividend distribution to the company’s shareholders is recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the reporting period in which the dividends are declared.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

The analysis of the company's turnover for the year from continuing operations is as follows:
