STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
The directors present their strategic report for Argus Software (UK) Limited (the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2021.
Our revenues consist of software sold under the ARGUS brand and professional services and training designed to support the implementation of the software. ARGUS clients predominately consist of CRE asset and investment management firms, including large owners, managers and investors of CRE assets and CRE funds, as well as CRE industry participants including service providers, brokers and developers.
Our revenue mix continues to increasingly shift to a recurring subscription-based model, which we capture as over time revenues. We continue to upgrade our legacy on-premise AE software users to our cloud environment, by converting their maintenance contracts to cloud subscription contracts. Our subscription agreements vary in length between one to five years with the fee primarily dependent on the number of users and applications deployed. Our revenue mix also consists of point in time revenues from legacy on-premise licenses as well as services related to education, training and implementation. On 1st April 2021, Altus Group (France) Holding SAS (wholly owned by Argus Software (UK) Ltd) acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Finance Active group of companies and its subsidiaries. Founded in 2000, Finance Active is a European provider of SaaS debt management and financial risk management SaaS solutions for treasury and investment management serving public, corporate and financial institutions. Finance Active is headquartered in Paris, France, with a wide geographic footprint in Europe including over 3,000 customers ranging from small to medium businesses to large, global institutions. Finance Active’s team of approximately 160 professionals has integrated with our Altus Analytics business. Finance Active, with its SaaS business model, strengthens our Over Time revenues and provides additional opportunities for organic growth as we integrate our go-to-market operations. The results for the year shows a decrease in sales to £10.90m (2020 - £11.20m). This is mainly due to a reduction in training revenue due to COVID-19 pandemic impacting face-to-face training sessions. Due to an increase in cost of sales, the Company has recorded an operating loss of £3.65m (2020 - £2.10m). The directors continue to remain confident to be profitable in the near future. The Company continues to be supported financially by associated group companies. Key priorities for 2022 include: Driving global industry adoption of our ARGUS cloud platform remains a high priority and will be foundational to our intelligence-as-a-service offering. ARGUS’ global, mission critical and de facto standard differentiation is an important strategic competitive advantage that advances our position globally through its inherent network effect. We remain tactically focused on migrating our legacy on-premise software users to our cloud platform, as well as expanding our penetration with existing customers and adding new ones. We are realigning our product offering structure pivoting from product centric strategies and point solution selling to a more ubiquitous model that centres around our customers’ unique priorities and with offers aligned to clear customer challenges that we can solve and create value. The combination of our data, technology and expertise that seamlessly delivers actionable intelligence provides for the most optimal way to drive client value while supporting our business strategies to profitably grow and scale.

The impact so far has not been significant, but the directors continue to monitor the situation and respond as appropriate. The Company regularly assesses its risk management activities to ensure good practice in all areas.
The directors consider the key performance indicators of the business to be turnover and operating profit or loss as set out in the Statement of Comprehensive Income on page 9.

2,811,908
(2020 -
loss
£
1,689,276
)
.
The directors do not recommend the payment of dividend for the year.
The directors are responsible for preparing the Strategic Report, the 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 applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. 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 for the Company's financial statements and then apply them consistently;
∙
make judgments and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙
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 to 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARGUS SOFTWARE (UK) LIMITED
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 loss 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.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council'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.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARGUS SOFTWARE (UK) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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.
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.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Directors' Report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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.
As explained more fully in the Directors' Responsibilities Statement set out on page 3, 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARGUS SOFTWARE (UK) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 Auditors' 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. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Our approach to identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
∙
the engagement partner ensured that the engagement team collectively had the appropriate competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations;
∙
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Company through discussions with directors and other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the software supply sector;
∙
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direct material effect on the financial statements or the operations of the Company, including the Companies Act 2006, taxation legislation and data protection, anti-bribery, employment, environmental and health and safety legislation;
∙
we assessed the extent of compliance with the laws and regulations identified above through making enquiries of management and inspecting legal correspondence; and
∙
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout the audit.
We assessed the susceptibility of the Company’s financial statements to material misstatement, including obtaining an understanding of how fraud might occur, by:
∙
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud;
∙
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations; and
∙
understanding the design of the Company’s remuneration policies.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we:
∙
performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships;
∙
tested journal entries to identify unusual transactions;
∙
assessed whether judgements and assumptions made in determining the accounting estimates were indicative of potential bias; and
∙
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions.
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulations, we designed procedures which included, but were not limited to:
∙
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation;
∙
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged with governance;
∙
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims; and
Page 7

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ARGUS SOFTWARE (UK) LIMITED (CONTINUED)
∙
reviewing correspondence with HMRC, relevant regulators and the Company’s legal advisors.
There are inherent limitations in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance. Auditing standards also limit the audit procedures required to identify non-compliance with laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Material misstatements that arise due to fraud can be harder to detect than those that arise from error as they may involve deliberate concealment or collusion.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at:
www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities
. This description forms part of our Auditors' 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 Auditors' 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.

Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3). The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
The Company, being a subsidiary where the parent prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, has claimed exemption from preparing a cash flow statement.
During the year the Company made a loss after taxation of £2,811,908 (2020 - £1,689,276) and at the reporting date the Company had net current liabilities of £32,092,966 (2020 - £2,769,352). The directors of the ultimate parent undertaking have indicated that they expect that the Altus Group will have sufficient working capital resources available to be able to ensure that funds continue to be made available to the Company to enable it to meet all of its financial obligations as and when they fall due for at least the next twelve months following the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors have continued to prepare the Company's financial statements on a going concern basis.

Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue for software sales and training is recognised at the point of supply. Revenue for support service is recognised evenly over the period of the contract. Revenue for subscription income is recognised dependant on the nature of the subscription. Right of use subscriptions, where a license is transferred to the customer for the length of the contract, are recognised 50% at the point of supply and the remainder recognised evenly over the period of the contract. Right of access subscriptions, where the Company retains control of the license, are recognised evenly over the period of the contract. Revenue received in advance of future services is carried forward as deferred income.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
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. Goodwill is amortised over a useful life of 10 years. Development costs are capitalised within intangible assets where they can be identified with a specific product or project anticipated to produce future benefits, and are amortised on the straight line basis over the anticipated life of the benefits arising from the completed product or project. When this transfer occurs after the date of acquisition, an adjustment is recognised in equity to reflect the historic amortisation that would have been charged had the transfer occurred at the point of acquisition.

Accounting policies (continued)
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
At each reporting date the Company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. The Company adds to the carrying amount of an item of fixed assets the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred, if the replacement part is expected to provide incremental future benefits to the Company. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. Repairs and maintenance are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the period in which they are incurred.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans to and from related parties and investments in 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.

The company's functional and presentational currency is £ Sterling. Transactions and balances Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the applicable monthly average exchange rates published by HMRC. At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

Defined contribution pension plan
The Company contributes to a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into 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 Comprehensive Income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

Accounting policies (continued)
Deferred development costs are reviewed annually, and where the future benefits are deemed to have ceased or to be in doubt, the balance of any related development is written off to profit and loss. If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021
In preparing these financial statements, the directors have considered the following key sources of estimation uncertainty: Tangible fixed assets are depreciated over their useful lives taking into account residual values, where appropriate. The actual lives of the assets and residual values are assessed annually and may vary depending on a number of factors. In re-assessing asset lives, factors such as technological innovation and maintenance programmes are taken into account. Residual value assessments consider issues such as future market conditions, the remaining life of the asset and projected disposal values.
The whole of the turnover is attributable to the principal activity.
