Strategic Report
Chairman’s Statement
I am pleased to present the results of Drumz plc (“Drumz” or “Company” or “Group”) for the year ended 31 December
2021.
Results and performance
The Group’s results for the year ended 31 December 2021 showed revenues of £44,000 (2020: £12,000) and an
operating loss of £239,000 (2020: loss £149,000).
At the year end, the principal asset of the Group is its investment in Acuity Risk Management Limited (“Acuity”), valued
at cost of £625,000. The Group’s original investment was made in September 2020 and Drumz exercised its option to
acquire another 5% of Acuity’s equity for £125,000 in September 2021.
Acuity is an award winning business, specialising in risk management for cybersecurity. Acuity’s proprietary software
platform STREAM™ provides its blue chip customer base, on a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) basis, with a
comprehensive view of critical business risk and compliance on an enterprise wide basis. During the year, Acuity has
widened its distribution channels including completing a new partnership agreement with an established developer,
distributor and implementor of automated risk management software in the USA. Further details on the progress
achieved by Acuity are included in the Chief Executive’s report.
In addition, the Group continues to own its legacy holding in KCR Residential REIT plc (‘KCR’), which owns property in
the private rented residential sector, in particular blocks of studio, one and two bedroom apartments which are rented to
private tenants in the UK.
The share price of KCR stands at a significant discount to the stated net assets per share. Notwithstanding, the share
price performance of KCR has again been disappointing over the year and as a result, the value of the KCR holding has
declined further from £573,000 to £390,000, equating to an unrealised loss of £183,000. I am also disappointed to report
that the KCR share price has fallen a little further since the year end. Your Board is looking to dispose of this investment,
which is no longer core to the Group’s current investment policy, as soon as a buyer can be found. However, in common
with many smaller companies, there is limited liquidity in the shares of KCR and therefore the Board is not able to give
a view on when a disposal of this investment might be effected.
Therefore, the overall results of the Group for the year ended 31 December 2021, show a loss before taxation of
£422,000 (2020: loss of £757,000), of which £183,000 (2019: loss of £608,000) was due to the fall in value of the Group’s
investment in KCR. No dividend is being declared for the year (2020: £nil).
Notwithstanding, shareholders’ funds have increased to £1,547,000 (2020: £1,518,000), principally as a result of the
fund raising undertaken by the Company in November 2021. The Group raised £450,000 (before expenses of the issue),
by the issue of 75,000,000 ordinary shares at a price of 0.6 pence per ordinary share, together with a related warrants
issue. I am pleased to be able to report that all the Drumz directors subscribed for new ordinary shares in this placing.
As a result, at the year end the Group had cash balances of £561,000 (2020: £491,000).
Investment Policy
The Company's investing policy is to invest principally, but not exclusively, in the technology sector within Europe.
Drumz’s strategy is to invest in and acquire technology businesses, where the Board believes they can be improved by
a combination of our own management expertise and the provision of investment to improve the businesses growth
prospects.
Although the Company intends the main focus of the investing policy to be on technology businesses, this will not
preclude the Company from considering investment in suitable projects in other sectors or geographies, where the
Directors believe that there are high-growth opportunities.
Macroeconomic impacts
During the current period there have been two major macroeconomic factors which have impacted the economy, namely:
1
Strategic Report
Drumz plc
• COVID-19 – this global pandemic has had a major impact on the world economy and the ways in which
people work. On the positive side, the software industry lends itself well to employees working effectively from
remote locations, but the broader impact of the pandemic on global demand remains uncertain; and
further uncertainty to demand caused by rising global inflation and interest rates and disruption to global
supply chains.
•
Outlook
The Board considers that the benefits of the actions already taken at Acuity will be seen over the coming months. We
are now considering several new investment opportunities. I would like to thank all shareholders for their continuing
support and to thank my colleagues and our advisors for their respective contributions. I look forward to further progress
in the current financial year.

Strategic Report
Drumz plc
Chief Executive’s Report
Our strategy
Drumz’ strategy is to invest and acquire, predominantly but not exclusively in the technology sector, in order to achieve
capital growth in the medium term. We target operating companies whose activities include the sale of enterprise
software or the use of software in B2B markets. The Board seeks opportunities where the value can be grown to achieve
appropriate returns and risks are managed given the expertise available.
Over the past 12 months, whilst the focus has been on developing Acuity Risk Management Ltd, many other investment
opportunities were reviewed to find a second investment for the Group. Proposals were made to acquire some
interesting businesses, but on the final analysis none satisfied both our due diligence examination and value
expectations.
Our business model
Our business model is to take established software companies with an excellent offering and potential to grow
significantly in their market. We work with companies contributing skills, expertise and knowledge to the business to
transform the value. The value will be realised either by way of trade sale or Initial Public Offer (‘IPO’) so Drumz and/or
its shareholders can realise all or part of their holdings.
Established businesses not only reduce the risks for Drumz and its shareholders but with the track record and statistical
evidence on which to base decisions there is a stronger and faster platform for growth and therefore value creation. It
is important that all parties are incentivised and interests aligned to benefit from growth in value. Drumz’ Board believes
a combination of scale, growth rate, profitability and cash generation are the most important creators of value.
Investments and Portfolio update
Acuity Risk Management Limited
Acuity Risk Management’s, STREAMÔ software platform was voted by users in Gartner’s 2021 Peer Insights review as
a top three risk management software. Acuity was shortlisted for Cyber security solution of the year at the National
Technology Awards 2021.
It recently became part of the UK’s space team, Athena. Athena is the UK’s national consortium for the space industry
bringing Acuity alongside many leading UK and US defence and space companies and therefore may provide Acuity
with commercial opportunities.
Over the past 12 months several appointments were made including a new full time Commercial Director, who has
reorganised all marketing, sales and other distribution activities. All marketing activities have been taken in house
following which the number and quality of leads has increased and improved significantly. The sales team has been
reorganised with further recruitment planned and the distribution channel using VARs strengthened with appointments
made during the year, some of which were announced on the Stock Market’s Regulatory News Service.
In September Drumz exercised its existing option to invest a further £125,000 for a further 5% of the equity taking its
ownership to 25%.

KCR Residential REIT plc
Whilst the company’s largest shareholder increased its holding in November and took a majority holding the share price
of KCR again disappointed and is at a significant discount to Net Asset Value, as disclosed in its accounts. There is a
new Chief Executive for KCR. Drumz continues to monitor the company, its share performance and considers KCR to
be a passive asset for realisation in due course.
Summary and Outlook
There are opportunities for significant growth in value over the next 12 months within the existing portfolio and potentially
with new acquisitions and investments.

Strategic Report
Drumz plc
Investment Strategy
Drumz makes selective technology investments then provides proven skills and expertise to enhance the commercial
performance and value.
Rationale
Many software companies are founded by experts whose skills are in programming and product. Typically, they have
developed great solutions but lack the skills and expertise to properly exploit the market opportunity. Drumz is looking
to acquire such companies in whole or part then to assist the management to drive growth. Value is based on a
combination of scale, growth rates, renewal statistics and profitability; as they grow both the underlying figures and the
value multiplier increase effectively giving a transformation in their value. Then Drumz will assist with an exit whether
by trade sale or IPO to give the optimum outcome for shareholders.
Criteria:
• A standard product is supplied which contains proprietary intellectual property,
whether know-how, patents, or other sustainable barriers to entry
It is enterprise software sold in a B2B market with a significant market opportunity
It offers high margins
•
•
• Business model is SaaS and/or can be made highly scalable
• Established customer base
• Talented management team with ambition
Rationale for opportunity:
• The market opportunity is significant
• The management’s skills can be augmented by Drumz expertise to improve growth
rates, scale and renewals through strategic, commercial, sales and marketing inputs
• Additional finance may be required and supplied by Drumz
Risk Management:
• Product is proven
• Market demand is demonstrable
• Targeted exit routes identified prior to investment
Investing policy
The Company's investing policy is to invest principally, but not exclusively, in the technology sector within Europe.
Although the Company intends the main focus of the investing policy to be on technology businesses, this will not
preclude the Company from considering investment in suitable projects in other sectors or geographies, where the
Directors believe that there are high-growth opportunities.
The Directors believe that the Company can invest in and acquire technology businesses, improve them by a
combination of new management expertise and investment then retain these businesses for further growth or realise
the value created.

Strategic Report
Drumz plc
The Company is seeking investment opportunities, which can be developed through the introduction of its expertise and
the investment of funds to facilitate the requisite changes. These opportunities would generally have some or all of the
following characteristics, namely:
• a majority of their revenue derived from technology or the use of technology which the Directors believe is
strongly positioned to benefit from market growth;
• a trading history which reflects past profitability and potential for significant capital growth; and
•
that a main driver of success for the Company will be the expertise that can be provided by the Directors to
the management of the investee companies and the value that can be created and realised.
The Company’s investments may take the form of equity, debt or convertible instruments. Investments may be made in
all types of assets falling within the remit of the Investing Policy and there will be no investment restrictions. Proposed
investments may be made in either quoted or unquoted companies and structured as a direct acquisition, joint venture
or as an interest in a project. The Directors may consider it appropriate to take an equity interest in any proposed
investment, which may range from a minority position to 100 per cent ownership.

Fair value:
Valuation: £625,000
Cost: £625,000
Valuation is based on cost supported by several other factors including trading forecasts.
Acuity’s proprietary software platform STREAM™, provides its users with a comprehensive overview of risk and
compliance on an enterprise wide basis. Most customers use their STREAM™ software to manage their cybersecurity
and IT risks, but it can be configured to manage a wide range of other risks. Risk management, especially in the area of
cybersecurity, is increasingly important for all organisations with data, which for any enterprise is an increasingly
important asset. The security of and the management and control of that asset is important for financial, reputational
and regulatory reasons. The major competitive advantages of STREAM™ are the speed of its deployment, the
comprehensiveness of the solution and the speed of analysis. Acuity was founded by a team who had previously built
and sold a consultancy business specialising in cyber security to a major European multinational. The founders have
developed the technology, repeatedly winning awards for the quality of their products as the company’s blue chip
customer base continues to grow in the UK, Europe and the US. Customers include multinational companies,
government departments and other international organisations.
Since Drumz’s involvement, there has been a greater focus on commercialising Acuity’s product. This has resulted in
an increase in average sales order values and revenues, higher recurring revenues, closer engagement with customers
and a growing sales pipeline. Drumz’s investment in the company has been channelled into exploitation of the market.
In 2021, Acuity launched enhanced versions of STREAM™ and in February 2022 in response to customer requests an
improved Graphical User Interface (GUI) for better customer experience. The effect of this development is to enable
Acuity to compete with all major competitors on similar terms, whilst retaining the advantages of relatively faster and
easier deployment for the end user. STREAM™ is integrated with Microsoft’s Azure product, allowing STREAM™ to
store data anywhere in the world, which is increasingly important to meet international legislation and regulations.
Acuity Risk Management Ltd’s year end is 31 March, so the financial KPI’s are not available for this set of Drumz
accounts. Selected KPIs will be announced on the Regulatory News Service as soon as practical following the end of
Acuity’s financial year on 31 March 2022. In the year-to-date Acuity has continued to develop its sales and marketing
including the appointment of a new Value Added Reseller (VAR) in the United States and its revenues have continued
to grow.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties
The management of the business and the nature of the Group’s strategy are subject to risks. The Directors set out below
the principal risks the business encounters. Where possible, processes are in place to identify and manage such risks.
The Group operates systems of internal control and reporting to provide assurance that the Board is managing risk
whilst achieving its business objectives. No system can fully eliminate risk and, therefore, the understanding of
operational risk is central to the management process.
To enable shareholders to appreciate what the business considers are the main operational risks, they are briefly
outlined below:

Governance
Drumz plc
Governance
Chairman’s Introduction to Governance
As Chairman of Drumz plc, I have overall responsibility for ensuring that corporate governance is embedded within the
business. Corporate governance is at the heart of this organisation in order to maintain integrity and ensure we govern
effectively such that we can deliver long-term value for our shareholders.
The Company has chosen to adopt the Quoted Companies Alliance’s Corporate Governance Code 2018 (the “QCA Code”),
and has updated its website to include additional disclosures required by the QCA Code and the AIM Rules 2021
The Board recognises the importance of sound corporate governance and applies the ten principles of the QCA Code
insofar as reasonably practicable given the Company’s nature and size. Further details on compliance with the principles
are provided below. The Company’s priority is to generate value for shareholders through making and managing
investments in accordance with its investment strategy as detailed on page 5 of this report. The Board believes that the
QCA Code provides Drumz PLC with a practical and rigorous corporate governance framework to support this strategy and
the Company’s success. The QCA Code sets out 10 principles which are listed below together with a short explanation of
how the Company applies each of the principles:
Principle One
Business Model and Strategy
The Board has decided with regards to the investments to split the portfolio into those investments that are passive and
those where our involvement is more active. These active investments are labelled as our strategic investments and are
those companies where we continue to hold a significant percentage of the shares in the company, where we remain
actively involved with the development of the company with, the Company usually being represented on the board of the
investee company, and where we believe that the returns that are possible are material. The key challenge to the successful
development of this part of the strategy is the mis-match between the on-going short term costs to the Company of working
with these strategic investments and the financial reward to the Company for this effort being of a longer term nature.
Principle Two
Understanding Shareholder Needs and Expectations
The Board is committed to maintaining good communication and having constructive dialogue with its shareholders. The
Company has close ongoing relationships with its shareholders. Institutional shareholders and analysts have the opportunity
to discuss issues and provide feedback at meetings with the Company. In addition, all shareholders are encouraged to
attend the Company’s Annual General Meeting.
Investors also have access to current information on the Company though its website, www.drumzplc.com, and via Angus
Forrest, who is available to answer investor relations enquiries.
Principle Three
Stakeholder Responsibilities
The Board recognises that the long term success of the Company is reliant upon the efforts of the employees of the
Company and its contractors, suppliers and regulators. The Board reviews performance of the company, its investments
and other KPIs at every Board meeting and from time to time with direct meetings with key executives of the investee
companies.
Principle Four
10
Governance
Drumz plc
Risk Management
The Board regularly reviews the risks facing the Company and seeks to exploit, avoid or mitigate those risks as appropriate.
The Board is responsible for the monitoring of financial performance against budget and forecast and the formulation of the
Company’s risk appetite including the identification, assessment and monitoring of Drumz’ principal risks.
In addition to its other roles and responsibilities the Audit and Compliance Committee is responsible to the Board for
ensuring that procedures are in place, and are being effectively implemented to identify, evaluate and manage the significant
risks faced by the Company.
The directors have established procedures for the purpose of providing a system of internal control. In addition, there are a
range of Company policies that are reviewed at least annually by the Board. These Company policies cover matters such
as share dealing and insider legislation, conflicts of interest, social media, expenses, treasury, remuneration, risk and
compliance. These areas are also included as permanent agenda items for report and review at each regular board meeting.
The Board currently takes the view that an internal audit function is not considered necessary or practical due to the size
of the Company and the close day to day control exercised by the directors.
Principle Five
A Well-Functioning Board of Directors
As at 31 December 2021 the Board comprised, Angus Forrest, and three non-executive directors, Simon Bennett, chairman,
Nish Malde and John Wakefield. The Quoted Company Alliance Corporate Governance Code recommends that there
should be at least two independent directors. All Directors are encouraged to use their judgement and to challenge matters,
whether strategic or operational, enabling the Board to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively.
The time commitment formally required by the Company is an overriding principal that each director will devote as much
time as is required to carry out the roles and responsibilities that the director has agreed to take on. This means that Angus
Forrest is full time and that the other directors are part time. Biographical details of the current directors are set out below.
Executive and non-executive directors are subject to re-election at intervals of no more than three years. The letters of
appointment of all directors are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office during normal business hours.
The Board meets regularly and is responsible for formulating, reviewing and approving the Company’s strategy, budgets,
performance, major capital expenditure and corporate actions. The Board meets at least six times per annum. It has
established an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee, particulars of which appear hereafter. Meetings are open
and constructive, with every Director participating fully. The Board agreed that appointments to the Board are made by the
Board as a whole and so has not created a Nominations Committee.

Corporate Governance Statement
Board composition and independence
The Board is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the Company and for its leadership, strategy, values,
control, and management. Board meetings are held at such times as are required for the effective operation of the
Company’s investment strategy and monitoring of investments. All Directors commit the time necessary to fulfil their roles,
and this position is kept under review. Given the size of the Board and the scale and nature of the Company’s business,
the Company does not yet have a separate Nominations Committee.
The Board has considerable experience and expertise in the technology sector and the running of publicly traded
companies. Simon Bennett and John Wakefield are considered to be independent directors.
Full biographical details of all directors can be found on page 12 and on our website www.drumzplc.com

Appointment of Directors
The Board deals with all matters relating to the appointment of Directors, including determining the specification, identifying
suitable candidates and selection of the appointee. No separate Nomination Committee has yet been formed.
Throughout the year, the Articles of Association have required each Director to seek re-election after no more than three
years in office. The QCA Code recommends that non-executive directors are appointed for a fixed term. The Board consider
that shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on the re-appointment of non-executive directors and accordingly
each of the present non-executive directors will retire by rotation at least once over the next three years.
Company Secretary
Kathryn Worth resigned as Company Secretary on 1 February 2021 and Marie-Claire Haines was appointed Company
Secretary on the same day.
Board activities in the year to 31 December 2021
The table on pages 17 and 18 identifies the matters considered by the Board and notes the consideration given to the key
stakeholder groups. One of the focuses for the Board is the impact any decision or action may have on key stakeholder
groups represented within the Board’s common duty under s172 of the Companies Act 2006. The Board notes the
importance of the amount of engagement it has with key shareholder groups and how their respective views may be
incorporated into decision making. Whilst considering the necessity of promoting the Company’s success for the benefit of
its members as a whole, the Board considers the impact its decisions and policies on key stakeholder groups.

Principle Six
Appropriate Skills and Experience of the Directors
The Company believes that the current balance of skills in the Board as a whole reflects a broad range of personal,
commercial and professional skills and a range of financial and managerial skills. The Executive Director maintains ongoing
communications with the Non-Executives between formal Board meetings.
In addition to their general Board responsibilities, non-executive Directors are encouraged to be involved in having inputs,
in line with their individual areas of expertise. The Board is kept abreast of developments of governance and AIM
regulations. The Company’s NOMAD provides initial training including the AIM Rules as part of a new Director’s on
boarding, thereafter when there are relevant updates. All Directors develop their skills and capabilities through their
continuing experiences.
The Directors have access to the Company’s NOMAD, company secretary, lawyers and auditors as and when required and
are able to obtain advice from other external bodies when necessary. If required, the Directors are entitled to take
independent legal advice and if the Board is informed in advance, the cost of the advice will be reimbursed by the Company.
The Board currently consists of four directors and, in addition, the Company has outsourced the provision of book keeping
and accounting services and company secretarial services.
Principle Seven
Evaluation of Board Performance
The Directors consider that the Company and Board are not yet of a sufficient size for a full Board evaluation to make
commercial and practical sense. In the Board meetings/calls, the Directors can discuss any areas where they feel a change
would benefit the Company, and the Company Secretary remains on hand to provide impartial advice. As the Company
grows, it expects to expand the Board and with the Board expansion, re-consider the need for Board evaluation.
Principle Eight
Corporate Culture
The Board recognises that their decisions regarding strategy and risk will impact the corporate culture of the Company as
a whole and that this will impact the performance of the Company. The Board is very aware that the tone and culture set
by the Board will greatly impact all aspects of the Company as a whole and the way that employees behave. A large part
of the Company’s activities is centred upon what needs to be an open and respectful dialogue with investee companies.
Therefore, sound ethical values and behaviours are important for the Company to successfully achieve its corporate
objectives. The Board places great importance on this aspect of corporate life and seeks to ensure that this flows through
all that the Company does. The Board assessment of the culture within the Company at the present time is one where there
is respect for all individuals, there is open dialogue within the Company and there is a commitment to provide the best
service possible to all the Company’s customers, clients and investee companies. Whilst the Company has a small number
of employees, the Board maintains that, as the Company grows, it intends to maintain and develop strong processes which
promote ethical values and behaviours across all hierarchies.
The Board places great importance on the responsibility of accurate financial statements and auditing standards complying
with Auditing Practice Board’s (APB’s) and Ethical Standards for Auditors. The Board places great importance on accuracy
and honesty and seeks to ensure that this aspect of corporate life flows through all that the Company does.
The Board has adopted an anti-corruption and bribery policy which are outlined on the Company’s website. The policy
applies to all Directors and employees of the Company, and sets out their responsibilities in observing and upholding a zero
tolerance position on bribery and corruption, as well as providing guidance to those working for the Company on how to
recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues and the potential consequences.
14
Governance
Drumz plc
The Company has adopted a code for directors’ and employees’ dealings in securities which is appropriate for a company
whose securities are traded on AIM and is in accordance with rule 21 of the AIM rules.
Principle Nine
Maintenance of Governance Structures and Processes
The Board is committed to, and ultimately responsible for, high standards of corporate governance. The Board reviews the
Company’s corporate governance arrangements regularly and expects these to evolve these over time, in line with the
Company’s growth. The Board delegates responsibilities to Committees and individuals as it sees fit.
Ultimate authority for all aspects of the Company’s activities rests with the Board, with the respective responsibilities of the
Independent Directors and Chief Executive arising as a consequence of delegation by the Board. The Board has adopted
two statements; the first sets out matters which are reserved to the Board and the second establishes the division of
responsibilities between the Independent Director (unless a Chairman is formally appointed in which case it would be the
Chairman) and the Chief Executive. The independent Chairman is responsible for the effectiveness of the Board, while
management of the Company’s business, the general day-to-day running of the business and developing corporate
strategy, and primary contact with shareholders has been delegated by the Board to the Chief Executive.
Audit and Compliance Committee
For the period under review the Audit and Compliance Committee comprised Simon Bennett (Chairman) Nish Malde and
John Wakefield. A detailed description of the Committee’s activities is shown on pages 19 and 20.
Remuneration Committee
For the period under review the Remuneration Committee comprised John Wakefield (Chairman) Nish Malde and Simon
Bennett. A detailed description of the Committee’s activities is shown on pages 21 and 22.
Non-executive Directors
The Board has adopted guidelines for the appointment of non-executive directors which have been in place and which have
been observed throughout the year. These provide for the orderly and constructive succession and rotation of the Chairman
(if one is in place) and non-executive directors insofar as both the Chairman and non-executive directors will be appointed
for an initial term of three years and may, at the Board’s discretion believing it to be in the best interests of the Company,
be appointed for subsequent terms. The Chairman may serve as a non-executive director before commencing a first term
as Chairman.
In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Board complies with: a duty to act within their powers; a duty to promote
the success of the Company; a duty to exercise independent judgement; a duty to exercise reasonable care, skill and
diligence; a duty to avoid conflicts of interest; a duty not to accept benefits from third parties and a duty to declare any
interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement.

Drumz plc
Principle Ten
Shareholder Communication
The Board is committed to maintaining good communication and having constructive dialogue with its shareholders. The
Company has close ongoing relationships with its shareholders. Institutional shareholders and analysts have the opportunity
to discuss issues and provide feedback at meetings with the Company. In addition, all shareholders are encouraged to
attend the Company’s Annual General Meeting.
Information is available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website www.drumzplc.com, and is kept
updated with details of relevant developments, regulatory announcements, financial reports and shareholder circulars.
Shareholders with a specific enquiry can contact the board though the website and via Angus Forrest, who is available to
answer investor relations enquiries. The Company uses electronic communications with shareholders in order to maximise
efficiency.
Organisation review
The Board of Directors provide extensive experience in advisory and the technology sector, including the operation of public
companies.
The Board of Directors
The Board is responsible for providing strategic direction for the Company, setting objectives and management policies and
agreement on performance criteria. The Board monitors compliance with objectives and policies of the Company through
monthly performance reporting, budget updates and monthly reviews. The current composition of the Board is one
Executive Director and three Non-Executive Directors. The Board believes the composition of the Board provides an
appropriate mix to conduct the Company’s affairs at the present time.
Audit Committee
During the period under review the Audit Committee was chaired by Simon Bennett. It met to review the Interim Report, the
Annual Report, to consider the suitability and monitor the internal control processes and to review the valuations for the
portfolio of directly held investments. There were two Audit Committee meetings during the year. The Audit Committee
reviews the findings of the external auditors and reviews accounting policies and material accounting judgements.
The independence and effectiveness of the external auditor is reviewed annually and the Audit Committee meets at least
once per financial year with the auditors to discuss their independence and objectivity, the Annual Report, any audit issues
arising, internal control processes, auditor appointment and fee levels and other appropriate matters.
Remuneration Committee
The Remuneration Committee provides a formal and transparent review of the remuneration of the Executive Directors and
senior employees and makes recommendations to the Board on individual remuneration packages. This includes the award
of non-contractual performance related bonuses and share options. Remuneration packages are designed to reward,
motivate, retain and recruit individuals. Bonuses are only paid in recognition of performance. The committee comprised
John Wakefield (Chairman), Simon Bennett and Nish Malde. No Director took part in discussions concerning the
determination of their own remuneration.
Risk management
The Board has overall responsibility for risk management and has established a framework which ensures that principal
risks are discussed, understood, mitigated, and where possible prevented. Risk assessment is an integral part of any
investment decision and the Company’s risk framework ensures that decisions are made on an informed basis to reflect
agreed business strategy and agreed risk tolerance.
16
Governance
Drumz plc
The Board considers that the key risks faced by the Company are:
• Underperformance of investments to which the Company has exposure
• Reliance on key people
• A lack of liquidity
• Longer-term economic or political environments, which cannot be predicted currently, but which may affect the
sphere of activity for the Company.
• The short and longer-term impact of natural and other disasters.
The Board’s strategies to mitigate these risks are as follows:
•
Investments
o To maintain a high level of awareness of investment opportunities through their own knowledge and through
a network of experts.
o To seek to ensure that investments are made in technology operating companies which operate in sectors
and geographies that are likely to be least affected by a fall in values.
o To keep the Company’s investments under regular review for performance against budget and in light of
the economic and political climate and, where possible, to structure investments to mitigate these risks
from the onset.
Incentivise key people
•
• To maintain cash balances and raise new funding well in advance of it being required

Governance
Drumz plc
Accountability and audit
The Board endeavours to present a balanced and understandable assessment of the Group’s position and prospects in all
reports as well as in the information required to be presented by statutory requirements.
Supplier payment policy
It is the policy and normal practice of the Group to make payments due to suppliers in accordance with agreed terms and
conditions, generally 30 days. Where suppliers offer early settlement discounts, these may be accepted.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, the Directors having considered the cash
forecasts for the next 18 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In doing so they have given
due regard to the risks and uncertainties affecting the business as set out in the Strategic Report on page 9 and the liquidity
of investments and the liquidity risk disclosed in Note 11. On this basis, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that
the funds available to the Group are sufficient to meet the requirements indicated by those forecasts.
Corporate Governance
The Group has set out its full Corporate Governance Statement on pages 10 to 26. The Corporate Governance Statement
forms part of this Directors’ report and is incorporated into it by cross reference.
Internal control
The Board is responsible for maintaining a sound system of internal control to safeguard shareholders’ investments and
the Company’s assets and for reviewing its effectiveness. Such a system is designed to manage, but not eliminate, the risk
of failure to achieve business objectives. There are inherent limitations in any control system and, accordingly, even the
most effective systems can provide only reasonable, but not absolute, assurance against material misstatement or loss.
Assessment of business risk
The Board regularly reviews operating and strategic risks. The Group’s operating procedures include a system for
reporting financial and non-financial information to the Board as and when appropriate, including:
•
•
•
•
reports from management with a review of the business at each Board meeting, focusing on any new
decisions/risks arising;
reports on the performance of the Company’s investments;
reports on the selection criteria of new investments; and
consideration of reports prepared by third parties.
Control procedures
Operational procedures have been developed for each of the Group’s operating businesses that embody key controls over
relevant areas. The implications of changes in law and regulations are taken into account by the Group.
The Board has considered the need for an internal audit function but has decided that this is not justified at present given
the size of the Group. However, it will keep this decision under review.

Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s financial instruments comprise its investments, cash balances, receivables and payables that arise directly
from its operations and derivative instruments. The Group is exposed to market risk through the use of financial instruments
and specifically to liquidity risk, market price risk and credit risk, which result from the Group’s operating activities.
The Board’s policy for managing these risks is summarised below.
Liquidity risk
Credit risk
Capital risk
management
The Group makes investments for the long term. Accordingly, the Group rarely trades investments
in the short term, however, it may do so in order to meet its funding requirements. It should be
noted that, the market in small capitalised companies can be illiquid. Accordingly, the Directors
monitor the market and make disposals as and when it would be appropriate to do so.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is limited to the carrying amount of financial assets recognised
at the balance sheet date.
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue
as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders
and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
The Group monitors capital on the basis of carrying an amount of cash and cash equivalents as
presented on the face of the Statement of Financial Position and compared to the short and
medium term liabilities and expected liabilities.
Post balance sheet event
As referred to in the going concern section of the principal accounting policies, we continue to monitor the situation
concerning COVID-19 pandemic and any impact it may have on the Group and Company.

Disclosure of information to Auditors
The Directors confirm that:
• So far as each Director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company’s auditor is unaware; and
• The Directors have taken all steps that they ought to have taken as Directors in order to make themselves aware of any
relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of that information.
Auditor
PKF Littlejohn have been appointed as auditor for the ensuing year in accordance with section 487 of the Companies Act
2006 subject to re-election at the next AGM.
Directors’ responsibilities statement
The Directors are responsible 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 prepared financial statements in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards. 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 and of the profit or loss of the company and group for that year.
In preparing these financial statements, the Directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
-
- make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
-
state whether, for the group and company, UK-adopted international 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 group’s
and company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the group and
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.
The directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information included on the
company’s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of the financial
statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions. The company is compliant with AIM Rule 26 regarding the
company’s website.
The directors confirm that they have complied with the above requirements in preparing the financial statements.

Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 December 2021
Independent Auditors Report
to the members of Drumz plc
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Drumz Plc (the ‘Parent company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘Group’) for the year
ended 31 December 2021 which comprises: the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated and
Parent Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Changes in Equity,
the Consolidated and Parent Company Statements of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including
significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable
law and UK-adopted international accounting standards and as regards the Parent company financial statements, as
applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
In our opinion:
•
•
•
•
the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and of the Parent company’s affairs as
at 31 December 2021 and of the Group’s loss for the year then ended;
the Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international
accounting standards;
the Parent company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international
accounting standards and as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006; and
the financial statements 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’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial
statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and Parent 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 as
applied to listed entities, 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 directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting in
the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors’ assessment of the group’s and
parent company’s ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included a review of budgets for 12
months from the sign off date including checking the mathematical accuracy of the budgets and discussion of significant
assumptions used by the management and comparing these with current year and post year end performance. We have
also reviewed the latest available post year end management accounts, bank statements, regulatory announcements, board
minutes and assessed any external industry wide factors which might affect the group and the company.
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 or Parent 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.
Our application of materiality
27
Financial Statements
Drumz plc
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The quantitative and qualitative thresholds for
materiality determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures. The materiality
applied to the group financial statements was set at £46,100 (2020: £60,780), with performance materiality set at £32,270
(2020: £42,540).
Materiality has been calculated as 4% of the benchmark of net assets, which we have determined, in our professional
judgement, to be one of the principal benchmarks within the financial statements relevant to members of the group in
assessing financial performance.
The materiality applied to the company financial statements was £46,000 (2020: £38,840). The performance materiality
was £32,000 (2020: £27,180). For each component in the scope of our group audit, we allocated a materiality that was less
than our overall group materiality. We agreed with the Audit Committee that we would report to them misstatements
identified during our audit above £2,305 (2020: £3,039) at group level and £2,300 (2020: £3,035) at company level.
We applied the concept of materiality both in planning and performing the audit, and in evaluating the effect of misstatement.
Our approach to the audit
In designing our audit, we determined materiality, as above, and assessed the risk of material misstatement in the financial
statements. We addressed the risk of management override of internal controls, including evaluating whether there was
evidence of bias by the directors that represents a risk of material misstatement due to fraud. In particular we looked at
areas involving significant accounting estimates and judgements by the directors and considered future events that are
inherently uncertain, such as the fair value of unquoted investments and the value of the share options scheme.
In addition, we focused our audit on the significant risk areas including the Key Audit Matter as outlined below.
A full scope audit was performed on the complete financial information of the Group.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial
statements of the current period and include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not
due to fraud) we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the allocation of
resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team. These matters were addressed in the context of
our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
Key Audit Matter
How our scope addressed this matter
Valuation of investments – See note 6 in the
financial statements
The company holds listed and unlisted
investments. There is a risk that the investments
are not valued correctly.
The investments carrying value is £1,015,000 as
at 31 December 2021, which comprises 63% of
the Group’s total assets.
The Parent company holds two investments:
Our work in this area included:
! Confirmation of ownership and safe custody of the
ownership instruments;
! For listed investments, ensure these do meet the
criteria for a level 1 investment, verification of the
year end share price used in the valuation to third
party source. Checking movements reflected
through fair value in profit or loss;
28
Financial Statements
Drumz plc
• An equity investment in a company listed on
the London AIM measured at fair value
through profit and loss; and
• An unlisted investment measured at fair
value through profit and loss. The fair value
being assessed to equal the cost.
The directors are required to use their judgement
in respect of the unlisted investment to assess
the fair value.
! Obtaining and critically reviewing management’s
assessment of impairment for level 3 investment;
! A review of the mathematical accuracy of the
calculations used in the impairment review and
corroboration to supporting documentation; and
! A review of the disclosure in the financial
statements for compliance with IFRS.
We have assessed this area to be a key audit
matter because of the financial significance of the
investments and the need for judgement in
assessing the fair value.
The fair value of KCR Residential REIT Plc was
recalculated using the share price and the number of
shares held in the investment.
The unlisted investment is held at cost because the
directors do not consider that there are relevant
observable inputs available and therefore cost is the
best indicator for fair value as at 31 December 2021.
We consider the basis for valuation to be appropriate.
No material misstatements have been noted in
respect of valuation of investments.
Other information
The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our
auditor’s report thereon. The directors are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our
opinion on the Group and Parent company 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 course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be
materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to
determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work
we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report
that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
•
•
the information given in the strategic report and the 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.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and the Parent 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.
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:
29
Financial Statements
Drumz plc
• adequate accounting records have not been kept by the Parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have
not been received from branches not visited by us; or
•
the Parent company 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 directors’ responsibilities statement, the directors are responsible for the preparation of the
Group and Parent company 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 Group and Parent company financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group
and the Parent 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 Group or the Parent
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. 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:
• We obtained an understanding of the group and parent company and the sector in which they operate to identify
laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We
obtained our understanding in this regard through discussions with management and application of cumulative
audit knowledge and experience of the sector.
• We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the group and parent company in this regard to be
those arising from Companies Act 2006, the London Stock Exchange AIM listing rules, International Financial
Reporting Standards (in compliance with the Companies Act 2006) and tax legislation within the United Kingdom.
• We designed our audit procedures to ensure the audit team considered whether there were any indications of non-
compliance by the Group and Parent company with those laws and regulations. These procedures included, but
were not limited to:
o Review of minutes
o Review of legal and professional expenditure
• We also identified the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in
addition to the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, that the
potential for management bias was in the valuation of investments. We addressed the risk by challenging the
assumptions and judgements made by management when auditing that significant accounting estimate.
• We addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which
included, but were not limited to: the testing of journals; reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and
evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of
business.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading
to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that
compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as
30
Financial Statements
Drumz plc
we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities
occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or
misrepresentation.
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 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.

Financial Statements
Drumz plc
Principal accounting policies
for the year ended 31 December 2021
General information
Drumz plc is a company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company is a public limited company,
which is listed on AIM of the London Stock Exchange, incorporated in the UK and domiciled in England and Wales. The
address of the registered office is Burnham Yard, London End, Beaconsfield, HP9 2JH.
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group and Company financial statements are set out
below.
Basis of accounting
Basis of preparation
The Group and Company financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as modified
for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling (£’000),
which is also the functional currency of the Company and Group.
The Group and Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below
and international accounting standards in conformity with the Companies Act 2006.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the Group and the Company for the purposes of the
preparation of these financial statements and the same accounting policies, presentations and methods of computation are
followed in this set of financial statements as were applied in the previous set of audited financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis.
The Directors have reviewed the Company’s budgets and considered plans. This combined with a review of the Company’s
cash balances, saleable securities and discussions with the advisers have led them to conclude there is a reasonable
expectation that the Company and Group has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future. For
this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company’s and Group’s financial statements.
This has been assessed using detailed cash flow analysis so that the Board can conclude that the Company and Group
has sufficient capital resources for at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements.
Changes in accounting policies
New standards adopted during the year
There were no new standards or interpretations effective and adopted for the first time for the year beginning on or after 1
January 2021 that had a significant effect on the Group’s or Company’s financial statements. These include:
• Amendments to IFRS 17 and IFRS 4 - Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9 (Amendments
to IFRS 4)
Standards in issue but not yet effective
The following accounting standards, amendments to existing standards and interpretations are not yet effective and have
not been adopted early by the Group or Company:
• Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (effective 1 January 2022)
• Amendments to IFRS 3 References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (effective 1 January 2022)
• Amendments to IAS 37: Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (effective 1 January 2022)
• Amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IFRS 16, and IAS 41 as part of Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–
2020 (effective 1 January 2022)
• Amendments to Initial Application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 – Comparative Information (effective 1 January 2020)
• Amendments to IFRS 1 and IAS 12 - Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities from a Single Transaction
(effective 1 January 2023)
39
Financial Statements
Drumz plc
• Amendments to Practice Statement 2, IAS 1, IFRS 8, IAS 34, IAS 26 and IFRS 7 – Disclosure of Accounting Policies
(Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2) (effective 1 January 2023)
• Amendments to IAS 8 – Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8) (effective 1 January 2023)
Summary of significant accounting policies
Basis of consolidation
The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all of its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 31
December 2021. Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group is exposed to, or has rights to, the variable returns from its
involvement with the subsidiary and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the subsidiary. The Group
obtains and exercises control through voting rights.
Intercompany transactions, balances, and unrealised gains on transactions between the Parent Company and its
subsidiaries are eliminated. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an
impairment of the asset transferred. Amounts reported in the financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where
necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Acquisitions of subsidiaries are dealt with by the acquisition method. The acquisition method involves the recognition at fair
value of all identifiable assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities of the subsidiary, at the acquisition date,
regardless of whether or not they were recorded in the financial statements of the subsidiary prior to acquisition. On initial
recognition, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are included in the Group Statement of financial position at their fair
values, which are also used as the basis for subsequent measurement in accordance with the Group accounting policies.
Goodwill is stated after separating out identifiable intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess of fair value of
consideration transferred over the fair value of the Group’s share of the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary at
the date of acquisition.
Revenue and other income
Fees and other income from investee companies is recognised as revenues as it falls due.
Interest is recognised as it becomes due.
Dividends are recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established.
Taxation
Current tax is the tax currently payable based on taxable profit/(loss) for the period.
Deferred income taxes are calculated using the liability method on temporary differences. Deferred tax is generally provided
on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. However, deferred tax is not
provided on the initial recognition of goodwill, nor on the initial recognition of an asset or liability unless the related
transaction is a business combination or affects tax or accounting profit. Deferred tax on temporary differences associated
with shares in subsidiaries is not provided if reversal of these temporary differences can be controlled by the Group or
Company and it is probable that reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future. In addition, tax losses available to be
carried forward as well as other income tax credits to the Group or Company are assessed for recognition as deferred tax
assets.
Deferred tax liabilities are provided in full, with no discounting. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is
probable that the underlying deductible temporary differences will be able to be offset against future taxable income. Current
and deferred tax assets and liabilities are calculated at tax rates that are expected to apply to their respective period of
realisation, provided they are enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.
Changes in deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised as a component of tax expense in the Statement of
comprehensive income, except where they relate to items that are charged or credited directly to other comprehensive
income or equity, in which case the related deferred tax is also charged or credited directly to other comprehensive income
or equity.
Financial assets
Financial assets are divided into the following categories: loans and receivables (including trade and other receivables) and
fair value to profit and loss. Financial assets are assigned to the different categories by management on initial recognition,
40
Financial Statements
Drumz plc
depending on the purpose for which they were acquired. The designation of financial assets is re-evaluated at every
reporting date, at which point a choice of classification or accounting treatment is available.
All financial assets are recognised when the Group or Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the
instrument. Financial assets other than those categorised as at fair value through profit or loss are recognised at fair value
plus transaction costs.
Fair value through profit and loss assets are initially recognised at cost in accordance with IFRS 9 and are subsequently
re-measured at the reporting date. The movement in fair value is recognised in the Statement of profit and loss and other
comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 13.
Investments
All investments are determined upon initial recognition as held at fair value through profit and loss. Investment transactions
are accounted for on a trade date basis. Asset sales are recognised at the trade date of the disposal. The Fair value of
the financial instruments in the Statement of Financial Position is based on the last transaction price at the Statement of
Financial Position date, with no deduction for any estimated future selling cost. Unquoted investments are valued by the
directors using primary valuation techniques such as recent transactions and last price. Changes in the fair value of
investments held at fair value through profit or loss and gains and losses on disposal are recognised in the Statement of
Comprehensive Income as “movement in fair value of investments”. Investments are measured at fair value in accordance
with IFRS 9. Details of the valuation technique for each investment is set out in the Investment Report on pages 7 and 8.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are obligations to pay cash or other financial assets and are recognised when the Group or Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial liabilities are recorded initially at fair value, net of
direct issue costs.
They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with interest related charges
recognised as an expense in finance cost in the Statement of comprehensive income. Finance charges, including premiums
payable on settlement or redemption and direct issue costs, are charged to the Statement of comprehensive income on an
accruals basis using the effective interest method and are added to the carrying amount of the instrument to the extent that
they are not settled in the period in which they arise.
A financial liability is derecognised only when the obligation is extinguished, that is, when the obligation is discharged or
cancelled or expires. When the obligation is extinguished by conversion to equity, a gain or loss is recognised in respect of
the difference between the carrying value of the debt compared to the fair value of the shares issued.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid
investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value.
Equity
Equity comprises the following:
•
•
•
•
Share capital represents the nominal value of equity shares.
Share premium represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received for
equity shares, net of expenses of the share issue.
Retained earnings represents retained profits/(losses).
Merger reserve represents the excess of the nominal value of shares issued in the acquisition of a
subsidiary undertaking and the nominal value of the subsidiary undertaking’s shares; and
Segment reporting
In accordance with IFRS 8, information is disclosed to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and
financial effects of the business activities in which the Group engages. In identifying its operating segments, management
differentiates between each investment. These segments are based on the information reported to the chief executive. The
Group’s result to date is substantially derived from investment activities.
Share-based employee remuneration
The Group operates equity-settled share-based remuneration plans for its employees. Where material, the fair value of the
employee services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be
41
Financial Statements
Drumz plc
expensed is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market service
and performance vesting conditions. Non-market vesting conditions are included in assumptions about the number of
options that are expected to vest. The total amount expensed is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period
over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied. At each reporting date, the entity revises its estimates
of the number of options that are expected to vest based on the non-market vesting conditions. It recognises the impact of
the revision to original estimates, if any, in profit and loss, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The preparation of
financial information in conformity with international accounting standards in conformity with the Companies Act 2006
requires management to make estimates and judgements that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well
as the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of income and
expenses during the reporting period.
Critical accounting estimates and judgement
In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, which are described above, management has made the following
assumptions that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial information:
Valuation of unlisted investments and option
The Company holds one unlisted investment valued at cost in the financial statements, which is concluded to be its fair
value because of a lack of observable information. When considering the valuation, in the absence of any market liquidity
or transaction with other investors the directors reviewed the trading and future prospects such as the budget, sales pipeline
and forward contracted revenues.
Share based payments
The Group has made awards of options on its unissued share capital to directors as part of their remuneration package.
The valuation of these options involved making a number of critical estimates relating to price volatility, future dividend
yields, expected life of the options and interest rates. The Group has used the Black-Scholes formula to calculate the fair
value of outstanding share options. The assumptions applied to the Black-Scholes formula for share options issued and the
fair value per option are described in more detail in note 9.
The expense charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income during the year in relation to share based payments was
£30,000 (2020 - £nil).

5. Earnings per ordinary share
The earnings per ordinary share is based on the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year of
351,072,048 ordinary shares of 0.1p (2020: 210,083,568 ordinary shares of 0.1p) and the following figures:

Diluted earnings per share is taken as equal to basic earnings per share as the Group’s average share price during the
period is lower than the exercise price of the share options and therefore the effect of including share options is anti-
dilutive.

Drumz plc acquired shares in KCR Residential REIT plc at a price of £0.70 per share in 2018. The investment was classed
as fair value through profit and loss in accordance with IFRS 9. The investment was valued downwards at the year-end in
accordance with IFRS 13. The closing value at 31 December 2021 was £389,713.
Drumz plc acquired shares in Acuity Risk Management Limited in September 2020 and additional shares in September
2021. The value of this investment is shown at cost, £625,000. Although Drumz holds 25% of Acuity’s shares the directors
believe that Drumz does not exercises significant influence over Acuity as such it does not need to be accounted for as an
associate.
Fair value hierarchy
In accordance with IFRS 13, financial instruments are measured by level of the following fair value measurement hierarchy:
-
-
-
Level 1: quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities. The fair value of financial instruments
traded in active markets is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. A market is regarded as
active if quoted prices are readily and regularly available and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring
market transactions on an arm’s-length basis. The quoted market price used for financial assets held by the Group
is the closing price on the last day of the financial year of the Group. These instruments are included in level 1 and
comprise FTSE and AIM-listed investments classified as held at fair value through profit or loss.
Level 2: the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market is determined by using
valuation techniques. These valuation techniques maximise the use of observable market data where it is available
and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates. If all significant inputs required to fair value an instrument
are observable, the instrument is included in level 2.
Level 3: the fair value of financial instruments that are not traded in an active market (for example, investments in
unquoted companies) is determined by using valuation techniques such as earnings multiples. If one or more of
the significant inputs is not based on observable market data, the instrument is included in level 3.
There have been no transfers between these classifications in the period (2020: none). The change in fair value for the
current and previous years is recognised through profit or loss.
All assets held at fair value through profit or loss were designated as such upon initial recognition.

On 30 November the Company issued 75,000,000 new Ordinary shares of 0.1p at 0.6p per share to raise approximately
£450,000 before expenses.
Deferred shares
The deferred shares have:
•
•
no right to any dividend;
the right to receive notice of any general meeting and to attend such meeting but no right to vote thereat; and
•
the right on a winding up or other return of capital (after payment of the debts and liabilities of the Company and an
amount equal to the amounts paid up, or credited as paid up, including any premium on the ordinary shares of the Company,
together with any unpaid arrears of dividend declared on such shares) to an amount equal to the amounts paid up or
credited as paid up on such deferred shares.
Share options and warrants
The Group operates an unapproved share option scheme. Awards under each scheme are made periodically to employees.
The share options in this scheme vest three years after the date of grant and have an exercise period of seven years. The
options may only be exercised by option holders while they are still employees of the Group. If death in service occurs the
options can be exercised (to the extent that they have vested) by the option holder’s personal representatives within 12
months from the date of death. If an option holder ceases to be employed and the Directors deem the option holder to be
a ‘Good Leaver’ the options can be exercised (to the extent that they have vested) within six months from the date of
cessation of employment.

17,375,000 ordinary shares.
The Company owed £26,054 to Highlands Village Ltd at the year end in respect of interest accrued in previous years.
The key management personnel of the Company are considered to be the Directors.
Acuity Risk Management Limited, a company in which Drumz owns 25% of the equity owed £6,000 for unpaid management
fees at the year end.
11. Financial instruments and risk profile
The Group’s and Company’s financial instruments comprise of its investment portfolio, cash balances, debtors and creditors
that arise directly from its operations and derivative instruments. The Group and Company are exposed to risk through the
use of financial instruments and specifically to liquidity risk, market price risk and credit risk, which result from the Group’s
operating activities.
The Board’s policy for managing these risks is summarised below.
Liquidity risk
The Group and Company make investments for the long term. Accordingly, the Group and Company rarely trade
investments in the short term. The Group currently has an investment in KCR Residential REIT plc. As this is a traded
investment it is deemed liquid.
Market price risk
The Group and Company are exposed to market price risk as shown by movements in the value of its equity investments.
Any such risk would be regularly monitored by the Directors.
Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order
to provide returns for shareholders, benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce
the cost of capital. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the carrying amount of equity, less cash and cash equivalents
as presented on the face of the Statement of financial position. The movement in the capital to overall financing ratio is
shown below:

The financial instruments held at fair value through profit or loss have been valued in accordance with the International
Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation guidelines. In the current year, these are determined by reference to quoted
prices where there is an active market for identical assets or liabilities. Otherwise, the fair value is determined by using
valuation techniques such as earnings multiples. There is no material difference between the carrying value and fair value
of the Group’s aggregate financial assets and liabilities.

The following table illustrates the sensitivity of loss and equity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates of +/- 1%.
These changes are considered to be reasonably possible, based on observation of current market conditions. The
calculations are based on a change in the average market interest rate for each period, and the financial instruments held
at each reporting date that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. All other variables are held constant.
