CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
For the period ended 30 June 2025
It is a pleasure to present our maiden
annual report and accounts since joining
the London Stock Exchange in October
2024. Our IPO marked a significant
milestone in the development of Fairview
International PLC (“Fairview” or the
“Company”). We are one of very few
companies from Malaysia to achieve this
feat and, likewise, one of very few
international school businesses to be
quoted on a global stock exchange. The
exposure that this has given us, as well as
the validation of the quality of our
management, should not be
underestimated and we are already seeing
how this distinction is benefitting our
schools.
Consolidated revenue for the year ended
30 June 2025 was £5.34 million, an
improvement of 6% on the prior year to 30
June 2024 of £5.01 million as the benefits
of higher average fees across the
Companys two schools in Malaysia take
effect. Alongside these fee increases, our
continued focus on management of its
operating and administrative cost base are
improving margins.
Profit before tax and exceptional items for
the year ended 30 June 2025 was £2.18
million (2024: £1.90 million). Exceptional
costs of £0.88 million in aggregate (2024:
£nil) related to the costs associated to the
Company’s IPO and those related to the
pre-IPO group reconstruction. Profit
before tax for the year was £1.30 million
(2024: £1.90 million) and profit after tax
was £0.75 million (2024: £1.34 million)
One of our most significant KPIs is student
numbers. As of 30 September 2025, total
headcount stood at 727 - up 4.9% from 693
September 2024. New enrolments for the
academic year ending 30 June 2026 are
currently 212, compared to 186 at the
same time last year. The Company has
increased its investment in marketing and
recruitment and anticipates continued
gains as the academic year progresses.
Coupled with sustained fee growth, this
positions Fairview for ongoing expansion.
This success in forthcoming enrolments
and applications is particularly pleasing
given the increased resources we have put
into marketing our schools since our
IPO. It is clear now that these initiatives
are bearing fruit.
Of the Company’s current total
enrolments, 37% of students are in the
Primary Years Programme, 56% in the
Middle Years Programme and only 7% in
the IB Diploma Programme. This weighting
to younger students gives the board
confidence that Fairview’s “customer
base” is robust with such a large
proportion of its students with many years
of education still to complete.
Both of Fairview's schools have the ability
to take on greater numbers of students,
with overall capacities of 1,500 and 750 in
Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bharu
respectively. With the Company therefore
only operating at around one third of its
maximum capacity, but nevertheless
trading profitably, the economies of scale
that exist within our business model will be
apparent to our shareholders and
underpins our plans for organic expansion.
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
3
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
The Company expects to benefit in
particular from the roll out and
development of the Johor-Singapore
Special Economic Zone (“JSSEZ”) that
commenced with a memorandum of
understanding signed in January 2024.
Whereas the exact timing and extent of
the outcomes from the JSSEZ initiatives
cannot be accurately determined at this
stage, the expansion and acceleration in
economic growth and development in
Johor Bahru is assured. This provides
opportunities for investment and for
population growth leading to a greater
demand for the international education,
and the possibility of the entering into a
development project on its Johor Bharu
property, which has land surplus to its
immediate educational needs.
Fairview's academic results continue to be
a key differentiator. For the sixth
consecutive year, the Kuala Lumpur
campus was ranked in the top 100 IB
schools globally and second in Malaysia. All
students passed the IB Diploma
Programme, with an average score of
34.53 - well above the global average of
approximately 30. In the Middle Years
Programme, Kuala Lumpur and Johor
Bahru reported record scores of 5.07 and
5.47 respectively (compared to a global
average of approximately 4.8). These
outcomes strengthen Fairview's appeal to
both students and parents.
We are mindful that Fairview offers very
attractive education costs alongside
delivering a leading International
Baccalaureate (“IB”) curriculum and this
competitive pricing model does provide us
with opportunities to effect increases in
school fees in future financial years in line
with cost increases. Other international
schools may not have that flexibility. It is
well publicised in the United Kingdom for
example that schools are needing to cut
costs to balance the VAT and National
Insurance burdens imposed on
them. Eventually cost cuts reach the
school's facilities thereby, potentially,
impacting what they can deliver to their
students. Fairview, in contrast, is less
impacted by such restrictions.
By their nature, schools have a long-term
relationship with their customers - namely
families - and it has always been Fairview's
policy to support and reward our students
through bursaries, scholarships and
academic awards. We are confident that
these gestures are repaid both through the
ongoing loyalty of our customer base and
the reputation this affords us in the
communities that we serve.
It is inevitable that this period's accounts
would reflect the IPO and the impact on
our bottom line was mainly due to non-
recurring administrative expenses
amounting to £0.88 million. Outside of
these one-off transactional costs, the
Board continues to manage its budget
tightly and the Company benefits from
resource sharing within the Fairview
network.
Benefits of the Fairview International
Schools Network
Currently the Fairview International
schools network (the “Fairview Network”)
consists of six schools, of which five are
located in Malaysia and one in the United
Kingdom. The two schools acquired by the
Company are part of this network and
accordingly benefit from several
advantages:
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
4
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Academic Excellence through International
Baccalaureate education: The Fairview
Network’s market position as the first
educational organisation in Malaysia to
offer an uninterrupted IB continuum
programme for ages 5 to 18 sets it apart
from competitors. Additionally, academic
excellence is evidenced in its student
outcomes ranking in the top 1% of IB
World schools for the Diploma Programme
for four consecutive years as well as both
Fairview KL and Fairview Johor exceeding
the Middle Years world average scores.
Proprietary educational programmes: The
Fairview Network’s intellectual property
centres on its differentiated educational
approach, proprietary educational
programmes, management systems,
quality assurance processes and
incorporates the BeED LMS. Specifically,
the Fairview Network’s distinctive
academic programmes, such as the Falcons
Leadership Programme, ToolBox Skills
Programme, and character education,
provide students with a well-rounded
education that goes beyond academics. As
these programmes are measured and
benchmarked, their integration into the
curriculum to ensure a systemised
development of skills alongside knowledge
acquisition differentiates the Fairview
Network from competing schools. These
proprietary assets contribute to the
academic distinctiveness, academic
effectiveness and operational efficiency of
the schools.
Outdoor Experiential Learning: By
providing students with opportunities to
apply classroom knowledge to real-world
experiences through annual international
expeditions and study camps at its
outdoors education centre, the Fairview
Network differentiates itself from
competitors as these experiences become
platforms for students to create relevancy
and contextualise their learning; the
foundations of personalised learning.
Financial Efficiency and Academic
Effectiveness: The Fairview Networks
strong financial performance and
academic excellence, as demonstrated by
its consistently high IB scores, is proof in
concept to Fairview Network’s business
model. The Fairview Network’s ability to
deliver outstanding academic results while
maintaining financial efficiency positions it
for sustainable growth.
Competitive School Fees: By offering high-
quality IB education at approximately 40
per cent. less than other comparable
schools in Malaysia and around half the
cost of other schools in Asia, the FIS
network attracts a wider pool of students.
This competitive pricing strategy enables
the network to capture market share from
both local and international students.
Overview of Fairview’s schools
Kuala Lumpur
Fairview Kuala Lumpur (“Fairview KL”), the
largest IB school in Malaysia, is located on
a 3.5-acre site in Kuala Lumpurs Wangsa
Maju district and is noted for its diverse
community, representing 34 nationalities
with around half of the students being
from expatriate families and half from local
families. The school currently has 518
students enrolled and has capacity for
1,500 students. The school is fully
accredited by International Baccalaureate
Organisation for the Primary Years
Programme (“PYP”), Middle Years
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Programme (“MYP”) and the IB Diploma
Programme (“IBDP”) offering an
uninterrupted IB continuum for ages 5 to
18 years. In addition to the Fairview
Network benefits above, it has these
selling points:
1. Dominus Arts Performance Hall: The
campus is a hub for high-level,
international performances with a 600-
person capacity hall hosting an array of
cultural events and providing students
with opportunities to explore and express
their artistic talents.
2. Award-Winning IBDP Programme:
Education Advisers Ltd, an international
education consultancy, has ranked
Fairview KL as having the best IB Diploma
Programme in Malaysia for four
consecutive years, an achievement which
is a testament to the schools rigorous
curriculum and focus on excellence. It also
ranked Fairview KL in the top 1% of its
global league table.
Fairview KL is also the key commercial
centre for the Fairview Network, owning
both the network’s proprietary software
and education systems and operating as
the network’s headquarters and
employing the key executive and
administration teams for the network.
Fairview KL levies a charge of RM3,000 per
student to other schools in the network for
these services. The charge covers access to
the curriculum operated by the Fairview
Network, the software used by the FIS
Network as well as legal, financial and
human resources support as well as
licencing of the Fairview brand.
Johor Bahru
Founded in 2007, Fairview Johor Bahru
(Fairview Johor) is an international
school community strategically located
near the Malaysia-Singapore border (just a
20-minute drive away) and thereby
offering a cost-effective alternative to
more expensive Singaporean education.
The schools 5-acre campus currently has
192 students but has growth potential to
accommodate a potential 750 students.
The school is accredited by the IB
Organisation for the PYP and MYP.
The location has convenient highway
access and the school’s facilities include
basketball courts, laboratories and a
concert hall. Core subjects offered include
languages (Malay, Mandarin and English),
science, mathematics, humanities, arts
and music, digital design and physical and
health education. The school is the only
institution in southern Malaysia certified
for the IB primary and middle years
programmes for ages 5 to 16.
Fairview’s teaching approach
Fairviews teaching approach is grounded
in the internationally acclaimed
International Baccalaureate curriculum,
which promotes academic rigour and pays
particular attention to the holistic
development of its learners. The goal is to
nurture internationally minded students
who will thrive in tomorrow’s world, not
just excel in exams.
Inquiry-Based and Concept-Based
Learning: By emphasising inquiry-based
learning, concept- based teaching, inter-
and transdisciplinary learning,
differentiated learning, and varied
assessment, Fairview ensures deep
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
6
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
student engagement and the development
of critical thinking skills.
ToolBox Skills Programme: Fairview’s in-
house developed programme
systematically develops essential skills as
outlined in the IB curriculum. Every skill is
taught through a specific model and
assessed at the end of each unit. This
approach ensures that students not only
acquire knowledge but is also provided
with a framework to develop the skills
necessary for success in their academic
and personal lives.
Character Development: By integrating
values education within subject areas,
Fairview enables students to develop their
character alongside knowledge
acquisition. This holistic approach to
education sets the network apart from
competitors as it integrates opportunities
to learn values offering a well-rounded
education.
Falcon’s Leadership Programme: The
annual leadership camp, which
systematically develops children’s
leadership skills based on the Five
Leadership Practices by Kouzes and
Posner, provides a key proposition for
Fairview as it focuses on cultivating the
skills and mindset necessary for effective
leadership.
BeED Learning Management System (BeED
LMS): Fairview’s advanced online delivery
programme, supported by the BeED LMS,
ensures consistent planning, support, and
access to resources for teachers and
students across all campuses. This
technology-driven approach enables
personalised and collaborative learning,
meeting the specific needs of each learner
within the Fairview Network’s diverse
campuses whilst maintaining a consistent
standard of education across all schools. It
also ensures that all teachers in the
network benefit from the same database
of resources and are able to leverage
shared experiences across the network.
Fairview’s comprehensive approach to
education, which combines rigorous
academics, systematic skill development,
character education, experiential learning,
and innovative technology provides a well-
rounded, high-quality educational
experience that prepares students for
success in an increasingly interconnected
world within and beyond the classroom.
The IB Advantage
Fairview believes that offering the full
continuum of IB programmes (PYP, MYP
and DP) catering to students aged 5-18
provides a strategic advantage.
As an International Baccalaureate World
School, Fairview offers its students a
globally recognised and respected
educational programme that provides
them with numerous advantages in
academics, skill development, and
employability. The IB Diploma Programme
has consistently demonstrated its ability to
prepare students for success in higher
education and beyond.
IBDP students are more motivated and
engaged than their non-IB peers. IB
students on average had both higher SAT
scores and high school GPAs (grade point
averages) compared to non-IB students.
Results also showed positive and
significant effects of IB participation on
college retention and graduation rates. For
instance, the 4-year college graduation
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT
7
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
rate for IB Diploma graduates is
considerably higher than for their non-IB
peers. Specifically, 62% of IBDP graduates
who enrolled in 4-year postsecondary
institutions graduated after four years,
compared to only 41% of all students
across the United States. This strong
academic foundation translates to
superior university performance and more
prestigious admissions. The acceptance
rate of IB students into Ivy League
universities is up to 18% higher than the
total population acceptance rate. The gap
is even more significant for top-ranked
universities outside of the Ivy League,
where it is 22% higher, on average.
The IB curriculum fosters the development
of critical skills that are highly valued by
universities and employers. Results from a
study in Australia, England and Norway
confirms that IB students had significantly
higher levels of critical thinking than their
non-IB peers. The programme also
cultivates global competence, IB students
across six countries showed higher levels
of global mindedness than their non-IB
peers.
IB graduates enjoy significant advantages
in university admissions and career
opportunities. Studies showed that 84.6%
of IB candidates enrolled in university
immediately after graduating from high
school compared to 66% of all US high
school graduates. Of the IB students who
enrolled in college immediately after high
school, 90.4% returned to the same
institution the following year compared to
80% of all US students. A study in the
United Kingdom found that IB diploma
students were three times more likely to
enrol at a top 20 higher education
institution, 40% more likely to achieve at
least an upper second-class honours
degree, and 7% more likely to earn a first-
class honours degree compared to
matched A level students. Additionally,
post-university, IB diploma holders were
38% more likely than their A level peers to
be engaged in further study.
The IB programme instils a love for lifelong
learning, with study participants agreeing
that it helped students to become better at
“taking on new challenges”, “learning to
persevere” and “developing better
interpersonal skills”. Moreover, alumni
and current DP students felt that CAS had
helped them to become more
“communicative”, “willing to accept new
challenges” and “collaborative”.
Recognised and respected by universities
and employers in over 150 countries, the
IBDP offers graduates increased global
mobility and career opportunities.
By offering the IB Diploma Programme,
Fairview KL provide students with a
comprehensive education that prepares
them for success in academics, career, and
personal development, setting them apart
from their peers and positioning them for
a bright future in an increasingly
competitive global landscape. Although
Fairview KL is, at present, the only school
in the Fairview Network in Malaysia that
offers the IBDP, the Fairview Network
continues to expand the product portfolio
for the other schools and the Company
expects to include the Fairview JB in the
IBDP programme in the near term subject
to market demand.
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Business drivers
Malaysia is aiming to attract 250,000
international students in 2025. Overall
international student applications
increased by 25% in the 2024 calendar year
supported by demand from other East
Asian countries. Malaysia issued over
154,000 expatriate passes in 2024 - the
highest since 2018 - with upward
momentum continuing into 2025.
Applications from China are the largest
constituent, rising to 33,216 in 2024, up
24.7% from 2023, and marking a 173%
increase compared to pre-pandemic 2019
when there were around 12,000 Chinese
students in Malaysia.
The number of Chinese citizens living in
Malaysia has nearly doubled in three
years, rising from approximately 82,000 in
2022 to between 150,000 and 200,000
currently. Most new arrivals are middle-
class families, students and investors,
seeking more affordable or welcoming
alternatives amid slower growth and
stricter business policies in China. There is
reportedly less anti-China sentiment in
Malaysia, making it an appealing
environment for these groups. Chinese
student enrolment in Malaysian
universities has similarly grown by 35% in
the last three years.
Rising Demand for International Education
Since IB schools provide a globally
recognised pathway to higher education
(in both Western and Asian universities),
the Fairview board expects to see
sustained growth in applications from
expatriate and relocating families. In
particular, families migrating from China
may prefer the IB over local curricula as it
is not tied to national politics, making it an
attractive neutral, globally portable
qualification.
The IB curricula in Malaysia often costs less
than in Singapore, Hong Kong or
international schools in Europe. This price
advantage, combined with visa
accessibility and Malaysia’s proximity to
China could make Malaysian IB schools a
preferred gateway for families who want
international schooling but cannot afford
Singapore or the UK.
In time, the Fairview board believes that
Malaysia could become a regional IB hub
with affordable yet high-quality IB schools.
Fairview’s campuses in Kuala Lumpur and
Johor Bahru mean it is geographically well
placed to serve both Chinese expats and
families near Johor who want access to
both Malaysia and Singapore.
Furthermore, Malaysia’s cultural
familiarity with Chinese communities and
Mandarin being widely spoken makes a
transition to Fairview easier for Chinese
families than moving to a Western country.
Compared with premium international
schools in Singapore or Hong Kong,
Fairview’s fees are significantly lower while
still offering the full IB continuum. This
makes it particularly attractive for middle-
income expats who want an IB education
but cannot afford “tier one” international
schools.
Acquisition strategy
As I explained earlier in the year, since
completing our IPO, we have continued to
assess opportunities to expand our
CHAIRMAN’S STATEMENT

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
business, examining both acquisitions and
new builds applying the criteria of
economic growth, demand for quality
education and sustainability in their
assessments. As well as South-East Asia,
and Asia generally, which holds a number
of attractions given the rising demand for
international education, the United
Kingdom remains a core focus for us,
reflecting both the positive attitudes of
Asian families to a British education and
the growing interest in the IB
curriculum. The recent VAT and National
Insurance changes on independent schools
is, as expected, producing numerous
opportunities as schools experience falling
demand and higher costs in the new tax
regime. Fairview's cost-effective model
and resource sharing capabilities provides
the resilience and growth potential to take
advantage of these opportunities.
Notice of the Company’s first AGM, which
will be held in December 2025, will be
despatched to shareholders shortly.

STRATEGIC REPORT

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
STRATEGIC REPORT
For the period ended 30 June 2025
Financial review
During the year under review, Fairview
acquired two companies which own and
operate two private independent schools
in Malaysia that offer the international
baccalaureate programme. One of these
schools, Fairview KL, is located in Kuala
Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and the
other, Fairview Johor, is located in the
southern state of Johor close to the border
with Singapore. These schools trade under
the Fairview brand which was created in
1978. The Company acquired the school in
Kuala Lumpur as it is the largest school that
uses the Fairview brand and considered
the flagship, whilst the school in Johor was
acquired as it focuses on the expatriate
market in Singapore and so is more
internationally focused than the remaining
schools which are more focused on the
domestic Malaysian market.
The Company was incorporated on 28
February 2024 and, on 11 October 2024,
trading in its ordinary shares commenced
on the London Stock Exchange.
The accounts reflect Fairview’s two
subsidiary companies, Fairview Schools
Berhad and Fairview International School
Nusajaya Sdn Bhd, which operated the
schools in Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bharu
respectively, and which joined the Fairview
group on 1 July 2024.
The Company achieved consolidated
revenue in the period to 30 June 2025 of
approximately £5.34 million from its two
schools. The key performance indicators
used by the Directors during the year to
assess the Company’s trading and financial
position are described on page 39.
Non-recurring reorganisation and IPO
expenses of £0.88 million were recorded
during the year.
Fairview’s balance sheet included cash of
£163,000 at the year end and the Company
is carrying £11.7 million of debt secured on
the real estate of the business. During the
year, and at the time of its listing on the
London Stock Exchange Fairview
successfully raised £2.6 million (before
expenses) from the issue of share capital
for cash.

STRATEGIC REPORT
12
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
The Board has identified the following key stakeholders in respect of the year under review:
Shareholders, Customers, Suppliers, Regulatory Bodies and Employees.
Shareholders
Fairview aims to generate value for shareholders by delivering sustainable growth and
articulating a clear corporate strategy to shareholders in a way that is easy to understand.
The Company emphasises and values personal contact and individual dialogue, with a
significant time for shareholder meetings.
Management engages with Fairview’s larger shareholders periodically to ensure that its long-
term strategy is aligned with their interests and to explain how it aims to deliver sustainable
growth and maximise the growth potential of the business. On page 24 there is set out in
further detail how the Company complies with principle 3 of the QCA (meeting shareholder
needs and expectations).
Customers
It is self-evident that a key measure of Fairview’s success is the number of student
enrolments. This is a direct function of revenue but also an indication of the reputation of
the Companys schools. The Board uses this statistic in its assessment of the Company’s
performance and the management devote a considerable part of their time, either directly or
through the use of agents, to continuously develop the student base.
Suppliers
Long-term partnerships, with consistently reliable suppliers that comply with all applicable
trading standards, meet the Company’s agreed service levels, and help it to achieve its
corporate objectives are important to the Company, and Fairview continues to work to
develop these ongoing relationships. Its supplier selection process is rigorously reviewed by
the Chairman and the senior management team on a regular basis. Fairview seeks to ensure
that each supplier adheres to appropriate standards of trade and, wherever possible, it
implements and monitors service levels.
Fairview is opposed to slavery and human trafficking within its operations and the supply
chain it utilises and will not knowingly support or do business with any organisation involved
in slavery or human trafficking.
Tax policy
Fairview has a clear tax strategy that guides its approach to tax payments and underpins its
values as an organisation. The Company believes in acting with integrity, honesty and
transparency to ensure that the organisation is correctly calculating tax payments,
interpreting the tax rules in good faith and paying monies in a timely manner as required. The
STRATEGIC REPORT
13
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
organisation secures tax advice as required to inform its approach and taxation calculations
and will take additional expert advice if required to ensure that these payments are accurate.
The Board is informed and supports the organisation’s tax strategy and approach.
Regulatory and industry bodies
Fairviews schools require licences from the Malaysian Ministry of Education under the
Education Act 1996 of Malaysia, as well as accreditations from the IB Organisation in order to
hold themselves out as IB World Schools offering an International Baccalaureate programme.
The loss of any such licence from Malaysian Ministry of Education would prevent Fairview
from operating the schools it owns.
Fairview works to ensure that the Company attains a high standard of corporate governance
and to ensure that the Company’s ongoing monitoring, training and compliance procedures
meet good practice. It aims for its business practices to provide a solid foundation for
sustainable growth. It is in regular dialogue with several industry bodies and the management
attends several conferences and seminars during the year.
On page 24 it is set out in further detail on how the Company complies with principle 4 of the
QCA (how it considers wider stakeholder and social responsibilities).
People
At Fairview, business success is based on a skilled, motivated and committed team. As a
matter of course, the Company prioritises their health, safety and mental wellbeing. It
supports its staff by active and regular training, creating a safe environment in which to work
and not tolerating abuse or improper behaviour of any kind. Fairviews culture is one of
collaboration and mutual assistance and the Board regularly monitoring the effectiveness and
motivation of the team.
The Directors of Fairview International PLC confirm that they have carried out a robust
assessment of the principal risks faced by the Company, including those that would threaten
its business model, future performance, solvency, or liquidity. The principal risks and
uncertainties, for both the Company’s former operations and its new strategy, are as follows:

with an average score of 34.53, well above
the global average of approximately 30. In
the Middle Years Programme, Kuala Lumpur
and Johor Bahru reported record scores of
5.07 and 5.47 respectively (compared to a
global average of approximately 4.8). These
ongoing successes support the Company’s
standing with the applicable regulatory
authorities.
Competition
The international schools market is rapidly
expanding and is competitive. Fairview
competes with overseas schools that have
established a campus in Malaysia as well as
local operators.
The Board focused through the year on
Fairviews key differentiating factors as the
key to success its academic results, its
facilities and, above all, its commitment to
the internationally acclaimed International
Baccalaureate curriculum. This promotes
academic rigour and pays particular
attention to the holistic development of its
learners. The goal is to nurture
internationally minded students who will
thrive in tomorrow’s world, not just excel in
exams.
Safeguarding
If a safeguarding incident occurred at one of
the Group’s schools or even another school
in the network of schools operating under
the Fairview brand, the Fairview brand
would be damaged.
The Board safeguards the group’s brand by
consistently upholding its values,
maintaining high standards of behaviour,
and ensuring clear, positive communication
across all platforms. This includes promoting
a safe and inclusive environment, protecting
student and staff information, and
responding promptly to any issues that
could harm the school’s or group’s
reputation. By training staff and students to
STRATEGIC REPORT
15
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
act responsibly online and in public, and by
sharing achievements and good news, the
school helps strengthen trust and preserve
the integrity of the groups overall brand
image.
Operational risk
Enrolments in the Group’s schools are
critical to its financial performance.
The Board and senior management have
considerable experience in the international
schools sector and have implemented a clear
strategy of organic expansion. Driven by
academic success and competitive fees,
Fairviews schools appeal to new parents
and students.
Expansion risk
In time, Fairview may look to acquire or
establish more schools.
The board believes that the Fairview model
can be grown in both Asia and the United
Kingdom but adopts a conservative
approach, recognising that the acquisition
success will be driven by several factors.
These include the attraction and retention of
both students and teachers as well as the
ability to integrate these new schools into
Fairview’s infrastructure and practices.
People risk
The Company’s schools rely on the
availability of capable staff, particularly
teachers.
The University College Fairview (“UCF”)
plays an integral role in Fairview’s business
model in the sustainability of a high-quality
supply chain, particularly supporting the
requirement by the IBO that all of its
teachers must undergo official IBO training
and certification. Being one of 56
universities global accredited as an IB-
recognised university to deliver IB educator
certificates since 2019, Fairview’s
association with UCF is a significant
distinguishing factor.
STRATEGIC REPORT
16
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
As with many businesses of its size, the
Company operates with a small team with
wide remits.
Succession planning is regularly undertaken
and the Company operates an active policy
of staff retention. The Company’s personnel
will expand as operations grow.
Information systems and cyber-risk
There is a risk of a malfunction or hacking
into Fairview’s information systems.
This risk is managed by rules around
protection access and security to our core
computer hardware and software systems.
Whilst no attacks have been incurred, the
Company continues to enhance its defences.
Financial risks
Liquidity risk
Although the Company had cash reserves of
£162,958 at 30 June 2025, liquidity, cash
management remain an area of focus for
the Board so that it is able to carry out its
planned growth programme.
Credit risk
There is a risk of non-collection of
receivables from trade customers.
Currency risk
Fairview is a UK company but with
operations exclusively in Malaysia meaning
that its income and expenditure may be in
different currencies.
The Company has a tight rein on expenditure
to ensure that cash resources are effectively
managed. One fundraising through the issue
of new ordinary shares successfully raised
£2.6 million in the year. However, the Board
is mindful of the uncertainties and
unpredictability of the financial markets.
The Company monitors overdue debts
(school fees) and makes provision for non-
collection risk, actively engaging in
communication with any late payers and,
where necessary, taking action to recover
payments that are due.
The Board works closely with currency
brokers to determine advantageous times to
switch its treasury between GBP and
Malaysian Ringgit.
STRATEGIC REPORT
17
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Fraud risk
As part of its corporate governance
procedures, the Company is alert to the
possibility of fraud.
The Company has established an anti-
bribery code which is issued to all
employees. Compliance of company policy
is monitored by the Chairman. All significant
expenditure is sanctioned by director and
the Board meets regularly to assess the
Company’s strategic direction and anticipate
likely costs.
Principal uncertainties
Economic downturn
The current, and growing, cost of living
crisis and potential recession may impact
demand for the Company’s schools.
To some extent, attendance at an
international school is a discretionary
purchase for many of Fairview’s customers.
Parents may be able to obtain educational
services for their children at lower cost. If
there is a significant or prolonged economic
downturn then student enrolments may
reduce if customers have less disposable
income. In addition, customers may turn to
cheaper alternatives which itself would
impact Fairview’s plans to grow its network
of international schools. The Company
monitors fees and offerings by other schools
in Malaysia to ensure that it remains
competitive.
Financial Instruments
The Company has exposure to credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk. Note 2 presents
information about the Company’s exposure to these risks, along with the Company’s
objectives, processes and policies for managing the risks.
Events after the reporting period
There are no significant event after the reporting period.
Going concern
After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has
adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Further

details are given in Note 1 to the Financial Statements. For this reason, the Directors
continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
Donations
The Company made no political or charitable donations during the period although, during
the year, a small number of products were donated to charitable causes.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS
For the year ended 30 June 2025
The Directors of Fairview International PLC (the “Company”) present their annual report and
audited consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Principal activity
The Company was established to acquire two companies which own and operate two private
independent schools in Malaysia that offer the international baccalaureate programme. One
of these schools, Fairview KL, is located in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and the
other, Fairview Johor, is located in the southern state of Johor close to the border with
Singapore. These schools trade under the Fairview brand which was created in 1978. There
are four Fairview branded schools not owned by the Group and which operate independently
from the Group but use the Fairview brand under licence from the Company, accessing the
resources of the Fairview International Schools Network. The Company acquired the school in
Kuala Lumpur as it is the largest school that uses the Fairview brand and considered the
flagship, whilst the school in Johor was acquired as it focuses on the expatriate market in
Singapore and so is more internationally focused than the remaining schools which are more
focused on the domestic Malaysian market.
Results and dividends
Details are given in the preceding Financial Review. No dividend has been paid during the
period nor do the Directors recommend the payment of a final dividend.
Directors
The Directors of the Company who have served during the period and to the date of this report

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
21
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Corporate Governance Statement
Chairman’s Introduction
Fairview International PLC (Fairview or
the Company) operates independent
schools in Malaysia. The Board ensures
that the Company is managed for the long-
term benefit of all shareholders, with
corporate governance being an essential
part of this. The Board is committed to the
principles of good corporate governance
and to maintaining high standards and best
practice of corporate governance.
Fairview aims to conduct its business in an
open, honest and ethical manner. The
Board is accountable to shareholders for
good corporate governance and has
adopted the procedures set out below in
this regard.
The directors also note that companies are
increasingly encouraged to provide details
on their website and in their annual report
of the recognised corporate governance
code that the Company has decided to
apply, how it complies with that QCA Code
and, where it departs from this an
explanation of the reasons for doing so. To
the extent that Fairview departs from any
of the provisions of the QCA Code it will
endeavour to provide details on its website
or otherwise, and as appropriate. The
Chairman is responsible for leading the
Board to ensure that Fairview has in place
the strategy, people, structure and culture
to deliver value to shareholders and other
stakeholders of the Company over the
medium to long term. The Board is
conscious that the corporate governance
environment is constantly evolving and the
charters and policies under which it
operates its business continue to be
monitored and amended from time to
time.
The QCA Code is based on ten principles
that focus on the pursuit of medium to
long term value for shareholders. The QCA
has stated what it considers to be
appropriate arrangements for growing
companies and asks companies to provide
an explanation about how they are
meeting the principles through the
prescribed disclosures. The directors have
considered how we apply each principle to
the extent that the Board judges these to
be appropriate in view of the Company’s
size, strategy, resources and stage of
development, and below have provided an
explanation of the approach taken in
relation to each.
The Board considers that the Company has
complied with all of the provisions of the
code including, during the year, carrying
out its own assessment of the Board’s
performance. We undertake annual
reviews on our compliance with the QCA
Code and our corporate governance
statement is published on the Company’s
website: www.fairviewplc.uk.
Daniel Chian
Chairman
Principle 1: Establish a purpose, strategy
and business model which promote long-
term value for shareholders
The Board has set out the vision for
Fairview for the short to medium term. The
Board is responsible for formulating,
reviewing and approving the Company’s
strategy, budgets and corporate actions.
The Company holds Board meetings at
least six times each financial year and at
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
22
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
various other times, as and when required.
The Company’s business model and
strategy is reviewed and updated on a
regular basis and in line with the growth
and development of Fairview.
Risk assessment and evaluation is an
essential part of the Company’s planning
and an important aspect of the Company’s
internal control system. The Company
strives to develop strong working
relationships with its partners and
suppliers in its various operating locations
to manage and mitigate the operational
risks.
We are committed to operating a
sustainable business and plan to
incorporate Environmental, Social and
Governance aspects into all future
opportunities reviewed.
Principle 2: Promote a corporate culture
that is based on ethical values and
behaviours
The Board seeks to embody and promote a
corporate culture that is based on sound
ethical values and behaviours, something
we see as being a cornerstone to a strong
risk management programme.
a) Code of conduct
The Board acknowledges the need for
continued maintenance of the highest
standard of corporate governance practice
and ethical conduct by all directors and
employees of the Company.
The Board will evaluate and approve a
code of conduct for directors, officers,
employees and contractors, which
describes the standards of ethical
behaviour that are required to be
maintained. The Company also plans to
actively promote the open communication
of unethical behaviour within the
organisation.
Compliance with the code of conduct is
envisaged as assisting the Company in
effectively managing its operating risks
and meeting its legal and compliance
obligations as well as enhancing the
Company’s corporate reputation.
The code of conduct describes the
Company’s requirements on matters such
as confidentiality, conflicts of interest, use
of Company information, employment
practices, compliance with laws and
regulations and the protection and
safeguarding of the Company’s assets.
An employee who breaches the code of
conduct may face disciplinary action. If an
employee suspects that a breach of the
code of conduct has occurred or will occur,
he or she must report that breach to the
Chairman or Chairman of the Audit
Committee, via a confidential “Whistle
Blowing” process. No employee will be
disadvantaged or prejudiced if he or she
reports in good faith a suspected breach.
All reports will be investigated, acted upon
and kept confidential.
b) Creating a fair and inclusive culture
The Company promotes an inclusive,
transparent and respectful culture. It
recognises that its people are our greatest
asset. Led by the values of responsibility,
excellence and continuous improvement,
integrity and trustworthiness, cooperation
and engagement, empathy and fairness
they apply their skills and expertise every
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
23
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
day to ensure we operate both responsibly
and successfully. A culture based upon
sound ethical values and behaviours is an
asset and source of competitive
advantage. Key to this is recruiting and
retaining key senior personnel.
The Company is an equal opportunity
employer and seeks to hire, endorse and
retain highly skilled people based on merit,
competence, performance, and business
needs. The Company is committed to
employment policies which follow best
practice, based on equal opportunities for
all employees, irrespective of ethnic origin,
religion, political opinion, gender, marital
status, disability, age or sexual orientation.
c) Anti-bribery and anti-corruption
The Company has adopted an anti-
corruption and bribery policy which will
apply to the Board and employees of the
Company. It will set out their
responsibilities in observing and upholding
a zero-tolerance position on bribery and
corruption in all the jurisdictions in which
the Company operates. It will also provide
guidance to those working for the
Company on how to recognise and deal
with bribery and corruption issues and the
potential consequences of failing to
adhere to this guidance. The Company
expects all employees, suppliers,
contractors and consultants to conduct
their day-to-day business activities in a fair,
honest and ethical manner, be aware of
and refer to this policy in all of their
business activities worldwide and to
conduct business on the Company’s behalf
in compliance with it. Management at all
levels are responsible for ensuring that
those reporting to them, internally and
externally, are made aware of and
understand this policy.
The Company takes a zero-tolerance
approach to acts of bribery and corruption
by any directors, officers, employees and
contractors. The Company will not offer,
give or receive bribes, or accept improper
payments to obtain new business, retain
existing business or secure any advantage
and will not permit others to do so on its
behalf.
d) Dealings with company securities
The Company’s Share Dealing Policy is
binding on all directors, officers and
employees who are in possession of
“inside information”. All such persons are
prohibited from trading in the Company’s
securities if they are in possession of
‘inside information’. Subject to this
condition and trading prohibitions
applying to certain periods, trading is
permissible provided the relevant
individual has received the appropriate
prescribed clearance. The Board considers
that the share dealing code is in
compliance with the Market Abuse
Regulations (MAR”) and London Stock
Exchange requirements and continues to
meet the requirements of the Board.
e) Health and Safety Policy
The Company’s objectives include
observing the highest level of health and
safety standards, developing its staff to
their highest potential and being a good
corporate citizen in our chosen countries
of operations.
The Company is committed to providing a
safe working environment for its
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
24
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
employees and anyone doing work on the
Companys behalf. The Board reviews and
makes recommendations concerning risk,
health and safety issues. The safety of
Fairviews employees are principal
elements of its business and are
fundamental to the Company’s culture and
engagement with its stakeholders. Health
and safety is routinely covered at Board
meetings during discussions on
operations.
Principle 3: Seek to understand and meet
shareholder needs and expectations
Fairview has established a Board with
experience in understanding the needs
and expectations of its shareholder base. It
supplements this with professional
advisers including public relations,
corporate/financial adviser, legal counsel
and brokers who provide advice and
recommendations in various areas of its
communications with shareholders.
The Company’s Chairman is responsible for
shareholder liaison. He holds regular
meetings with major shareholders to
maintain a dialogue between the Company
and its investors. Private investor events
and investor roadshows may be organised
by the Companys brokers and public
relations consultants, where the Chairman
and at times other Directors meet with
current (and potential future)
shareholders and brokers to update them
on the Company’s progress. Despite the
end of COVID-19 restrictions, many
meetings continue to be held via video-
conferencing.
The entire Board receives feedback
following these meetings and any issues
raised are discussed. By keeping open and
transparent dialogue we can consider
matters and discuss with shareholders in a
positive and constructive way.
The Non-Executive Directors are available
to meet with shareholders if required.
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be
the main forum for dialogue between the
Board and the shareholders. All Directors
will aim to attend the AGM.
All Directors receive regular industry and
peer updates, to enable them to keep
current on issues relevant to the Company
and its shareholders.
Fairview also engages with its shareholders
through its website, which is designed to
be a hub to provide information to
shareholders, and via the posting of
regular updates to the market on the
Regulatory News Service.
Principle 4: Take into account wider
stakeholder interests, including social and
environmental responsibilities, and their
implications for long-term success
Key resources and relationships on which
the business will come to rely include its
students, workforce, suppliers,
shareholders, local community and
elements of the regulatory framework.
The Company’s employees are one of the
most important stakeholder groups and
the Board recognises the need for two-way
communication with the workforce. The
small size of the Company means that the
Directors and senior managers are
relatively accessible to all employees to
provide and receive feedback.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
25
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Fairview respects, values and welcomes
diversity in our workforce. Fairview
complies with all applicable laws and
provides equal employment opportunities
for all applicants and employees. It is also
important to us to provide our employees
with appropriate training and
development to ensure they are enabled
to carry out their responsibilities to the
highest standards. This is embodied in our
Employee Handbook.
Fairview ensures that it conducts business
with its suppliers, and all stakeholders that
are involved or affected by its business,
according to rigorous ethical, professional
and legal standards with fairness and
integrity. This is embodied in our Anti-
Corruption and Bribery Policy. Feedback
from potential business partners and their
customers is at present informal. The
Company will contact customers, on an ad
hoc basis, and it will provide verbal
feedback where necessary to the Board.
Fairview recognises its responsibilities to
the environment and community in the
areas in which it operates. The Company
places a high priority on operating to high
standards of integrity and ethics and
operates in a socially responsible manner.
Fairview will undertake a programme of
continuous improvement to minimise any
direct or indirect environmental impacts
that may be associated with its business.
Principle 5: Embed effective risk
management, internal controls and
assurance activities, considering both
opportunities and threats, throughout
the organisation
Fairview recognises that risk is inherent in
all of its business activities. Its risks can
have a financial, operational or
reputational impact.
The Company’s system of risk
identification, supported by established
governance controls, is being developed in
such a way that it will direct the Company
on how it responds to the identified risks,
whilst acting ethically and with integrity for
the benefit of all its stakeholders.
The Company’s key internal controls
procedures are being developed to
include, amongst others:
Prioritised risk register - risks will be
evaluated to establish root causes,
financial and non-financial impacts
and likelihood of occurrence.
Consideration of risk impact and
likelihood will also be taken into
account to determine which of the
risks should be considered as a
principal risk. The effectiveness and
adequacy of mitigating controls will
then be assessed accordingly. If
additional controls are required,
these are identified, and
responsibilities assigned. The
Company’s Board will be
responsible for monitoring the
progress of actions to mitigate key
risks. Key risks will be formally
reported to, and reviewed by, the
Audit and Risk Committee and at
least once a year to the full Board;
Preparation of annual cash flow
projections for approval by the
Board and ongoing review of
expenditure and cash flows;
Establishment of appropriate cash
flow management and treasury

policies for the management of

the Company, setting the Company’s
values and standards, and ensuring
maintenance of a sound system of internal
control and risk management. The Board is

as well as approving the annual operating
and capital expenditure budgets. The
Board supports the concept of an effective
Board leading and controlling the
Company and believes that its members

corporate governance and internal
controls that are appropriate and
proportional to the Company’s culture,
size, complexity and risk.

The Board is supplied with appropriate and
timely information in order to discharge its
duties. The Board and its committees are
supplied with full and timely information,
including detailed financial information, to
enable the directors to discharge their
responsibilities. All directors have access
to the advice and services of the company
secretary, who is responsible for ensuring
that Board procedures are followed, and
that applicable rules and regulations are
complied with. Independent professional
advice is also available to directors in
appropriate circumstances.
It is the responsibility of the Chairman and
the company secretary to ensure that
Board members receive sufficient and
timely information regarding corporate
and business issues to enable them to
discharge their duties.
A detailed agenda is established for each
scheduled meeting and appropriate
documentation is provided to directors in
advance of the meeting. Regular Board
meetings provide an agenda that will
include reports from the Chairman, reports
on the performance of the business and
current trading, and specific proposals
where the approval of the Board is sought.
In accordance with the Company’s Articles
of Association, at every annual general
meeting one third of the directors for the
time being or, if their number is not a
multiple of three, the number nearest to
but not exceeding one third, will retire
from office and offer themselves for
reappointment by the members. The
directors to retire by rotation shall be
those who have been longest in office
since their last appointment or
reappointment by a general meeting, but
for persons who were last appointed or
reappointed on the same day, those to
retire shall be decided by lot.
It is the responsibility of the Chairman and
the company secretary to ensure that
Board members receive sufficient and
timely information regarding corporate
and business issues to enable them to
discharge their duties.
The Chairman
The Chairman leads the Board, ensuring
constructive communications between
Board members and that all directors are
able to play a full part in the activities of
the Company. He is responsible for setting
Board agendas and ensuring that Board
meetings are effective and that all
directors receive accurate, timely and clear
information.

effective communication with
shareholders and ensures that the Board
understands the views of major investors
and is available to provide advice and
support to members of the executive
team.
Non-executive directors
There are currently four non-executive
directors. The role of the non-executive
directors is to understand the Company in
its entirety and constructively challenge
strategy and management performance,
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
28
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
set executive remuneration levels and
ensure an appropriate succession planning
strategy is in place. They must also ensure
they are satisfied with the accuracy of
financial information and that thorough
risk management processes are in place.
The non-executive directors also assist the
Board with issues such as governance,
internal control, remuneration and risk
management. No independent non-
executive directors are anticipated to
participate in any share option plans put in
place by the Company.
Effectiveness
a) Composition of the Board
The Board consists of five directors
(including the Chairman). Each year the
Board will consider the independence and
performance of each non-executive
director and will keep the market updated
in accordance with the Code. The Board
considers all of its non-executive directors
to be independent as they are not involved
in any executive capacity, have no other or
material business relationships with the
Company, have no material financial
interest in the Company and have no close
family or other business relationships with
the Company or any of its directors.
Non-executive directors are appointed for
an initial term of one year.
To ensure that they clearly understand the
requirements of their role the Company
has a letter of appointment in place with
each non-executive director. Employment
contracts will also be entered into with any
executive directors and/or senior
executives as and when appropriate and so
that they can clearly understand the
requirements of the role and what is
expected of them.
b) Commitment
Each director commits sufficient time to
fulfil their duties and obligations to the
Board and the Company. They attend
Board meetings and join ad hoc Board calls
and offer availability for consultation when
needed. The contractual arrangements
between the directors and the Company
specify the minimum time commitments
which are considered sufficient for the
proper discharge of their duties. However,
all Board members appreciate the need to
commit additional time to the Company as
and when required.
Non-executive directors are required to
disclose prior appointments and other
significant commitments to the Board and
are required to inform the Board of any
changes to their additional commitments.
Before accepting new appointments, non-
executive directors are required to obtain
approval from the Chairman. It is essential
that no appointment causes a conflict of
interest or impacts on the non-executive
director’s commitment and time spent
with the Company in their existing
appointment.
Details of executive directors’ service
contracts and of the Chairmans and the
non-executive directors’ appointment
letters are available for inspection at the
Company’s registered office during normal
business hours and can be made available
at the AGM, on request.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
29
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
c) Development
All newly appointed directors are provided
with an induction programme which is
tailored to their existing skills and
experience, legal update on directors’
duties and one on one meetings with the
other members of the Board and
management team. The Board is informed
of any material changes to governance,
laws and regulations affecting the
Company’s business.
d) Information and support
All directors have access to the advice and
services of the company secretary and
each director, and each Board committee
member may take independent
professional advice at the Company’s
expense, subject to approval and prior
notification being given to the other non-
executive directors and the company
secretary.
The appointment and removal of the
company secretary is a matter for the
Board as a whole. The company secretary
is accountable directly to the Board
through the Chairman.
Principle 7: Maintain appropriate
governance structures and ensure that
individually and collectively the directors
have the necessary up-to-date
experience, skills and capabilities
The Board has been assembled to allow
each director to contribute the necessary
mix of experience, skills and personal
qualities to deliver the strategy of the
Company for the benefit of the
shareholders over the medium to long
term.
The Board is satisfied that it has the
necessary experience, skills and capability
to discharge its duties. All Directors receive
regular and timely information on both the
Company’s operational and financial
performance. Information is circulated to
the Director’s in advance of meetings.
Service agreements for the Executive
Directors and letters of appointment for

market practice and is aligned with
Fairview’s strategy, culture and purpose.
In setting performance-related pay targets
and performance conditions and levels of
remuneration for Executive Directors,
Fairview has had regard to shareholder
preferred positions. The Directors’

company is governed and is performing
by maintaining a dialogue with
shareholders and other key stakeholders
a) Dialogue with shareholders
The Company places considerable
importance on effective communications
with shareholders.
The Company’s communication strategy
requires communication with
shareholders and other stakeholders in an
open, regular and timely manner so that
the market has sufficient information to
make informed investment decisions on
the operations and results of the
Company. The strategy provides for the
use of systems that ensure a regular and
timely release of information about the
Company is provided to shareholders.
The Company also posts all reports, stock
exchange announcements and media
releases and copies of significant business
presentations on the Company’s website.

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Business Review
The Companies Act 2006 requires the Directors to set out a fair review of the business of the
Company during the year ended 30 June 2025, including an analysis of the position of the
Group at the end of the period and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing
the Group. This information includes a discussion of Key Performance Indicators that were
used by the Directors during the year to monitor the Company’s business which are:
Student enrolments;
Average fees;
Overheads; and
Cash levels.
Revenue in the year amounted to £5.34 million which the Directors consider to be satisfactory
in the circumstances. This represents a 6% increase compared to the prior year and reflects
the impact of higher average fees across the Company's two Malaysian schools. At the same
time, Fairview has continued to manage operating and administrative costs carefully, leading
to improved margins.
Student numbers remain a key driver of Fairview's performance. As of August 2025, total
headcount stood at 769 - up 9% from 707 in August 2024. New enrolments for the academic
year ending 30 June 2026 are currently 136. The Company has increased its investment in
marketing and recruitment, and anticipates continued gains as the academic year progresses.
Coupled with sustained fee growth, this positions Fairview for ongoing expansion.
34% of enrolled students are in the Primary Years Programme, 60% in the Middle Years
Programme, and 6% in the IB Diploma Programme. This demographic skew toward younger
cohorts provides a strong foundation for long-term retention and stability.
Cash at the end of the period was £163,000.
Gender analysis
A split of our employees and Directors by gender at the year-end is shown below:
Male Female
Directors 5 0
Employees 54 127
The Directors note that, due to the early-stage nature of the Company, they do not yet meet
the board gender diversity targets as specified in the Listing Rules. However, the Directors
recognise that, across the workforce as a whole, the Company overall has achieved a more
than satisfactory diversity breakdown with 70% of its employees being female. Furthermore,
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
40
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
two out of five members of the board are from a minority ethnic background (based on UK
criteria) and the diversity target in this respect has been achieved.
Key management
The Directors consider that key management personnel are the Directors of Fairview
International PLC.
Corporate social responsibility
Fairview conducts its business with honesty, integrity and openness, respecting human rights
and the interests of its shareholders and employees. It aims to provide timely, regular and
reliable information on the business to all shareholders and conduct operations to the highest
standards. The Company strives to create a safe and healthy working environment for the
wellbeing of its staff and students and to create a trusting and respectful environment, where
all members of staff are encouraged to feel responsible for the reputation and performance
of the Company. Fairview aims to establish a diverse and dynamic workforce with team
players who have the experience and knowledge of the business operations and markets in
which the Company operates. Through maintaining good communications, members of staff
are encouraged to realise the objectives of the Company and their own potential.
Corporate environmental responsibility
The Company’s policy is to minimise the risk of any adverse effect on the environment
associated with its activities with a thoughtful consideration of such key areas as energy use,
pollution, transport, renewable resources, health and wellbeing. The Company also aims to
ensure that its suppliers and advisers meet with their legislative and regulatory requirements
and that codes of best practice are met and exceeded.
Fairview recognises that its environmental impact extends beyond its direct operations.
Where possible, the Company carefully selects suppliers and partners who demonstrate
strong environmental credentials and compliance with regulatory requirements.
While its business model relies on third-party providers to some extent, the Company
maintains oversight of the environmental impact of these operations.
The Company intends to develop more comprehensive systems to measure and report its
environmental impact, enabling the Board to set meaningful targets for improvement and
track its progress towards these goals. This includes monitoring our carbon footprint, waste
generation, and resource usage across our value chain.
Fairview acknowledges that environmental responsibility requires ongoing commitment and
continuous improvement. It remains dedicated to identifying and implementing new ways to
reduce our environmental impact, whether through innovation, operational improvements or

supply chain optimisation. Further information regarding the Group’s carbon emissions can
be found at page 52 of this report.
Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) Statement
The Company acknowledges its obligations under the Financial Conduct Authority's Listing
Rule 6.6.6R regarding climate-related disclosures consistent with the recommendations of the
Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This statement provides a
summary of the Group's current position with reference to the four TCFD pillars: Governance,
Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets. As a business operating in a highly
regulated and evolving sector, Fairview’s focus has been on building a stable and compliant
operating model. It does, however, recognise the increasing importance of environmental
factors and are committed to progressively enhancing its climate-related governance and
disclosure practices over time.
Governance
The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing climate-related risks and opportunities.
Given the Company's size and the direct involvement of Board members in day-to-day
operations, climate-related issues are monitored alongside other operational and regulatory
matters. To date, climate-related risks have not formed a material part of the Board's formal
consideration of strategy, budgets, performance objectives or capital expenditure. This is
primarily due to the nature of the Company business.
Nonetheless, the Board remains mindful of the importance of aligning with climate goals. It
has acknowledged that, as the business develops, more structured oversight mechanisms
must be developed. These will include clear internal objectives, regular reviews, and progress
tracking against climate-related performance indicators.
Strategy
The Group recognises that climate-related risks and opportunities will play a more prominent
role in its future strategic and operational planning. The immediate impact of climate change
on our operations is currently limited, but medium to long-term risks relating to packaging
waste, product lifecycle sustainability, and energy use are anticipated.
In the future, the Board expects to give greater weight to climate-related considerations when
reviewing strategic decisions, including materials sourcing, logistics, and supplier
partnerships. For example, rising consumer and regulatory expectations around recyclability
and carbon footprint may shape our strategy, while increased scrutiny on supplier emissions
could influence our procurement policies. As the business matures, we anticipate developing
a climate-informed (if not climate led) approach to innovation, where product development
and marketing strategies align with sustainability goals. Over time, climate performance may
become integrated into strategic KPIs, investment decisions, and brand positioning, as this will
support long-term competitiveness in an environmentally conscious marketplace.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
42
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Risk Management
The Company does not yet maintain a standalone climate risk register, and climate-related
risks are currently assessed by the Board alongside broader business risks. All principal risk
matters are addressed collectively by the Board due to the Companys size and the integrated
nature of its management structure. As our governance framework evolves, Fairview intends
to formalise climate risk assessment processes in line with broader enterprise risk
management practices.
As part of its broader risk management efforts, the Company intends to introduce more
structured processes to identify, evaluate, and mitigate climate-related risks. This includes
building internal capacity, formalising risk governance procedures, and integrating these into
enterprise risk management as part of the Group’s evolution.
Metrics and Targets
The Company has not yet developed climate-specific metrics or targets. Several practical
factors have contributed to this:
The Company’s recent acquisitions and restructuring have made historical data
irrelevant for future measurement;
Supply chain volatility has complicated data collection and environmental
performance tracking;
Resource constraints have required prioritisation of commercial, regulatory and
financial status over environmental concerns;
Climate-related matters have not been integrated into business KPIs, capital
allocation decisions or performance reviews.
Despite its current status, the Company recognises that in order to effectively manage
climate-related risks and opportunities, these limitations must be addressed. In future, the
Board plans to:
Establish baseline measurements of environmental impact;
Develop key performance indicators relevant to climate-related priorities;
Integrate environmental data into operational systems and reporting frameworks;
Set medium and long-term targets for emissions, packaging waste, and product
lifecycle sustainability.
Notwithstanding the above, the Company does monitor and estimate the environmental
impact attributable to certain core activities in line with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon
Reporting (SECR) regulations. Further information can be found on page 51 of this report.
Current State of Compliance and Forward Commitment
As a public company committed to responsible growth, Fairview understands that alignment
with TCFD principles is essential. This disclosure reflects its current position and outlines the
steps it is taking to improve compliance. As its business scales, the Company expects its TCFD
disclosures and climate governance to evolve in tandem with the Group’s operational
maturity and sustainability commitments.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
43
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
The Company views this statement as a foundation for future development. While climate-
related concerns have not yet formed a central part of its strategic planning, it is committed
to integrating them more formally as its capacity and maturity increases. Future disclosures
will build on the principles outlined here, reflecting its intention to meet the expectations of
investors, regulators, and other stakeholders regarding responsible environmental.
stewardship and climate risk management.
The Company recognises the UK’s legally binding net zero target and is committed to aligning
with it over time. As its operations mature, Fairview will assess its emissions, embed
decarbonisation into planning and develop a credible roadmap to support the national
transition in a commercially sustainable way.
The Board believes this approach represents a realistic and responsible balance between the
Company’s growth objectives and its environmental responsibilities, while acknowledging the
practical limitations faced by early-stage companies in achieving comprehensive TCFD
compliance.
Disclosures and considerations relating to Fairview’s schools
As part of its ongoing commitment to responsible environmental stewardship, the Company
recognises the importance of setting a high standard within its own operations. In this regard,
the Company has implemented several initiatives during the year:
Management are exploring the installation of solar panels with the schools’ campus
to increase renewable energy generation;
The schools use rain water tanks to irrigate plants and provide water for washing
communal areas;
Light fittings have been switched to low energy LED bulbs;
Motion sensor for lights in corridors and classrooms have been installed;
Individual split unit air conditioners are installed in classrooms and administrative
offices rather than relying on centralised units meaning that they can be turned on
only when necessary; and
Inverter air conditioners which use microprocessors to control the speed of the
compressor motor to match the required output are used so that, once the room is
cool, an inverter air conditioner lowers the speed of the motor to save energy and
maintain the desired temperature.

the Company and for long term enhancement of shareholder value in what is an innovative,
high growth business. Fairview works on a principle and belief that its culture is stronger if
there is unity between all members of the team and this is reflected in alignment of pay rises,
pensions and other benefits across all of its employees.
Fairview’s remuneration principles are designed to:
provide a clear link between remuneration outcomes and overall corporate
performance;
provide alignment between the structures of executive and employee remuneration,
reinforcing Fairview’s culture;
ensure remuneration is competitive against companies of similar size and complexity;
and
provide a policy that reflects best practice governance for a listed company whilst
being cognisant of the relevant market for executive talent.
The employees are eligible for bonuses based on the performance of not only themselves but
also the Company. The Board and the Remuneration Committee, when assessing this
performance, will take into account the Key Performance Indicators outlined on page 39 as
well as the performance of the Company’s share price.

STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
50
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Statement of Directors’ Responsibilities in respect of the Annual Report and the Financial
Statements
The Directors are responsible for preparing this report and the financial statements in
accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the Directors to prepare financial statements for each financial
period which present fairly the financial position of the Company and the financial
performance and cash flows of the Company for that period.
In preparing those financial statements, the Directors are required to:
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
present information, including accounting policies, in a manner that provides
relevant, reliable, comparable and understandable information;
state whether they comply with UK-adopted international accounting standards,
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; and
provide additional disclosures when compliance with the specific requirements for
international accounting standards is insufficient to enable users to understand the
impact of particular transactions, other events and conditions on the entitys
financial position and financial performance.
The Directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient
to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at
any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the
Company 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.
Under applicable law and regulations, the Directors are also responsible for preparing a
Strategic Report, Directors’ Report, Directors’ Remuneration Report and Corporate
Governance Statement that comply with that law and those regulations, and for ensuring
that the Annual Report includes information required by the Listing Rules of the Financial
Conduct Authority.
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
51
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
So far as the Directors are aware, there is no relevant audit information, as defined by
Section 418 of the Companies Act 2006, of which the Company’s auditors are unaware and
each Director has taken all the steps that he ought to have taken as a director to make
himself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company’s
auditors are aware of that information.
The financial statements are published on the Company’s website www.fairviewplc.uk and
the Directors are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the website. Visitors to the
website need to be aware that legislation in the United Kingdom covering the preparation and
dissemination of the financial statements may differ from legislation in their jurisdiction.
We confirm that to the best of our knowledge:
the Company’s financial statements, prepared in accordance with international
accounting standards in conformity with the requirements of Companies Act 2006,
give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit of the
Company;
this Annual Report includes a fair review of the development and performance of the
business and the position of the Company together with a description of the principal
risks and uncertainties that it faces; and
the Annual Report and financial statements, taken as a whole, are fair, balanced and
understandable and provide the information necessary for shareholders to assess the
Company’s performance, business model and strategy.
Environmental Responsibility and Greenhouse Gas Disclosures
The Directors recognise the importance of assessing and managing the impact of the business
and its operations on the environment. Given that the Company is at an early stage of its
growth under its current business model, it has it not always appropriate or possible to fully
measure the Company’s emissions and environmental impact as its operations are in a state
of transition. The Company is committed, however, to adopting a compliant approach to all
relevant rules and regulations.
The primary environmental risks that are relevant to the Company include the production of
carbon emissions from transportation and energy consumption; the management of waste
including from packaging and products; and the sourcing of materials. The Directors are
committed to working with stakeholders and partners to ensure that the environmental
impact of these products is minimised.
Under the Companies (Directors’ Report) and Limited Liabilities Partnerships (Energy &
Carbon Report) Regulations 2019, Fairview is mandated to disclose its UK energy use and
associated greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Specifically, and as a minimum, it is required to
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
52
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
report those GHG emissions relating to natural gas, electricity and transport fuel as well as an
intensity ratio, under the Streamlined Energy & Carbon Reporting (SECR) Regulations.
In calculating its greenhouse gas emissions, the Company uses The Climate Registry’s default
electricity and natural gas square footage emission intensities to estimate electricity and
natural gas usage for each space occupied. The result in kilowatt hours of electricity or cubic
feet of natural gas used was multiplied by appropriate default emission factors to calculate
metric tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e). Owing to the Companys listing on the
London Stock Exchange during the year under review and therefore incomplete data for all
categories (as described below), it has confined its measurement and reporting approach to
those direct outputs from the Company’s staff, calculated in line with the methodology used
by external experts engaged to quantify the Company’s output in the prior year.
In future years, the Company expects to report its greenhouse gas emissions in line with the
recommendations in the Listing Rules, namely:
Scope 1: direct emissions from sources that the Company owns or controls, such as
company vehicles.
Scope 2: indirect emissions from the purchased electricity that the Company uses.
Scope 3: any other indirect emissions in the Company’s supply chain from sources it
does not own or control.
All reported energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions during the period
occurred outside the United Kingdom, reflecting the geographic location of the Company’s
workforce during the period. The principal energy efficiency measure undertaken remains the
Company’s use of a remote working model, which reduces energy consumption associated
with office occupancy, business travel and commuting.
The table below provides more information relating to the Company’s greenhouse gas
emissions and energy usage for its locations globally.
Consumption: kWh Emissions: tC02e
Electricity 1,334,568 311
The Company will continue to monitor its environmental footprint and seek to minimise its
carbon emissions, balancing commercial needs with environmentally responsible choices.
Further reporting, analysis and commentary will be provided in future reports as the
Company’s operations mature.
Disclosure and Transparency
Details of the Companys share capital are given in Note 12. There are no restrictions on
transfer or limitations on the holding of the ordinary shares. None of the shares carry any
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITIES
53
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
special rights with regard to the control of the Company. There are no known arrangements
under which the financial rights are held by a person other than the holder and no known
agreements or restrictions on share transfers and voting rights.
As far as the Company is aware there are no persons with significant direct or indirect holdings
other than the Directors and other significant shareholders as shown on the Company’s
website: www.fairviewplc.uk.
The provisions covering the appointment and replacement of directors are contained in the
Company’s articles, any changes to which require shareholder approval. There are no
significant agreements to which the Company is party that take effect, alter or terminate upon
a change of control following a takeover bid and no agreements for compensation for loss of
office or employment that become effective as a result of such a bid.

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF FAIRVIEW INTERNATIONAL PLC
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Fairview International PLC (the “Company”) and
its subsidiary undertakings (together referred to as the “Group”) for the year ended 30 June
2025, which comprise:
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 30 June
2025;
The consolidated and the Company statement of financial position as at 30 June 2025;
The consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended 30 June 2025;
The consolidated and the Company statement of changes in equity for the year ended
30 June 2025; and
Notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting
policies and other explanatory information.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the Group
financial statements is applicable law and International Accounting Standards in conformity
with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The financial reporting framework that has
been applied in the preparation of the Company financial statements is applicable law and
United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 101 Reduced
Disclosure Framework (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion:
The financial statements give a true and fair view of the state of the Group’s and the
Company’s affairs as at 30 June 2025 and of the Group’s profit/loss for the year then
ended;
The Group financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with UK-
adopted International Accounting Standards;
The Company financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with
UK Accounting Standards; and
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of
the Companies Act 2006.
Our audit opinion is consistent with our reporting to the Audit Committee.
Our audit opinion does not extend to the comparative information for the year ended 30 June
2024, which is presented for illustrative purposes in accordance with merger accounting.
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.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
55
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
We remained independent of the Group 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 applicable to listed public interest entities, and we have fulfilled our other ethical
responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, we declare that non-audit services prohibited by the
FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided.
We have provided no non-audit services to the Company or its controlled undertakings in the
period under audit.
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 company’s ability to continue to adopt the
going concern basis of accounting included:
Confirm our understanding of the directors’ going concern assessment process,
including the controls over the review and approval of the budget and plan. We have
obtained a copy of managements assessment of going concern and evidence that the
assessment was approved by the Board;
Assessing the appropriateness of the duration of the going concern assessment period
to 31 October 2026 and considering the existence of any significant events or
conditions beyond this period;
Review and verification of the inputs and assumptions used in the board-approved
working capital forecasts, identifying the key assumptions and evaluating the
appropriateness of these assumptions;
Evaluating management’s historical forecasting accuracy and the consistency of the
going concern assessment with information obtained from other areas of the audit;
Testing the mechanical accuracy of the going concern analysis;
Performing independent sensitivity analysis on management’s assumptions, including
applying adverse cashflow sensitivities and evaluating mitigating actions available to
management, e.g., deferring expenditure; and
Evaluating the disclosures on going concern.
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 or Group’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.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
56
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Overview of Our Audit Approach
Materiality
In planning and performing our audit we applied the concept of materiality. An item is
considered material if it could reasonably be expected to change the economic decisions of a
user of the financial statements, as prescribed in ISA 320.
Overall Group materiality for the financial statements of £79,800 based on basis 1.5% of
turnover. Turnover was selected as the benchmark due to its relevance to stakeholders in
assessing the Group’s operational performance.
Group Performance materiality of £51,900, adjusted for entity-specific risk and audit
environment.
Reporting threshold to the Audit Committee of £3,100, with errors below that threshold to be
reported if, in our opinion as auditor, disclosure was required on qualitative grounds.
Scope of Audit
The Company is accounted for from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia where all the Group’s records are
maintained.
In establishing our overall approach to the Group audit, we determined the type of work that
needed to be undertaken at significant components and engaged component auditors for the
subsidiaries. We directed the component auditor regarding the audit approach through group
instructions detailing significant risks, reporting requirements, and expected audit evidence
in terms of ISA 600 (Revised).
This, together with the additional procedures performed at Group level, gave us appropriate
evidence for our opinion on the Group financial statements.
Key Audit Matters (KAMs)
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance on 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) that
we identified, including those which had the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy, the
allocation of resources in the audit; and direction of the engagement team efforts.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Key audit matter
Audit response to key matter Findings
Fraud in revenue
recognition
We performed relevant audit procedures and specific tests
to evaluate if revenue had been omitted from the financial
statements for the current year. Our procedures included
the following:
Carried out substantive audit testing on revenue
recognised during the year and cut-off testing:
Our review of the revenue did not reveal evidence
of income which had been omitted and not
accurately reflected in the financial statements.
Evaluating that management’s revenue recognition
policies are compliant:
All student revenue and application of the revenue
recognition policy was appropriate, indicating that
revenue recognition is accurate. This also included
reviewing the work carried out on revenue
recognition, on the same basis as ourselves, by the
component auditor.
Audited material manual journals posted to
revenue:
Our review did not provide evidence that the
company had completed any unrecorded revenue
or revenue-generating agreements that would
affect income recognition in the financial
statements.
These procedures
enabled to us to
form an opinion
that the presumed
risk of fraud in
revenue recognition
is rebuttable under
ISA 240.
Management
override of
controls
Presumed risk under ISA 240:
Risk of management using their position in the company to
manipulate financial results and misappropriate assets.
In addition to the procedures described in the “Auditor’s
responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements” of
the Audit report, we audited to higher risk all areas
requiring judgement, performed tests on a sample basis of
j
ournal entries exhibiting unusual characteristics, journals
relating to areas of significant audit interest and
incorporated unpredictability in our substantive testing
procedures.
We assessed the appropriateness of liabilities and
transactions to related parties, reviewing management’s
review of contracts, their identification and estimation of
performance obligations, including ratification of such

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
obligations by the board and reviewing appropriate
supporting documentation.
Going concern Risk of incorrect use of the going concern assumption
based on the company’s performance and future
obligations.
We performed procedures to test and assess the significant
assumptions used in the working capital forecasts,
including performing sensitivity analysis as detailed in the
going concern section of the audit report.
Based on the result
of our audit
procedures we have
concluded the
directors’ adoption
of the going basis of
preparation is
appropriate.
Non-current assets
held for sale
Risk of misclassification and measurement error, ensuring
the correct valuation basis was applied, and adequate
disclosures are made.
Based on the
procedures
performed, we are
satisfied that the
assets classified as
non-current assets
held for sale are
appropriately
recognised,
measured, and
disclosed.
Common control
transaction
(merger
accounting)
Key risk related to the appropriateness of merger
accounting to the group reorganisation, specifically the
application of a common-control transaction. The
completeness, accuracy and valuation of the merger
reserve balances, and comparative information accuracy
presented.
We performed procedures involving the review and
inspection the Share Purchase Agreements, board minutes,
and corporate structure; inspected share registers before
and after the reorganisation; and verification of
component net assets transferred; recalculation the
merger reserve and the consolidation eliminations.
Based on the
procedures
performed, we are
satisfied that the
merger accounting
was appropriately
applied, and related
balances are
appropriate.
Other Matter
The comparative information presented for the year ended 30 June 2024 has been prepared
on a combined basis to illustrate the effect of the common-control reorganisation that
occurred during the current year. The comparative information reflects the aggregated results
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
59
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
and financial position of the combining entities as if the current group structure had existed
in the prior period.
We were not appointed as auditors of the Group for the year ended 30 June 2024 and,
accordingly, we have not audited and do not express an opinion on the comparative
information presented for that period. Our audit opinion on the current year’s financial
statements does not extend to, and should not be read as providing assurance on, the
comparative figures included solely for presentation purposes under merger accounting.
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 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 other information in the annual report and consider whether it is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge, as required per
ISA 720.
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.
In this respect, we have nothing to report.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
In our opinion the part of the directors’ remuneration report to be audited has been properly
prepared in accordance with 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
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
60
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Group and 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 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 and the part of the directors’ remuneration
report to be audited 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 the directors for the financial statements
As explained more fully in the directors responsibilities statement, 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
and Group’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 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.
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS
61
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities,
including fraud
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 legal and regulatory frameworks within which
the Group operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect
on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
The laws and regulations we considered in this context were relevant company law
and taxation legislation in the UK and Malaysia jurisdictions in which the Group
operates.
We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from
irregularities, including fraud, to be the override of controls by management. Our
audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about
their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, sample testing
on the posting of journals, and reviewing accounting estimates for biases.
There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to
become aware of instances on non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely
related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not
detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one
resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or
intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.
Our audit testing might include testing complete populations of certain transactions and
balances. However, it typically involves selecting a limited number of items for testing, rather
than testing complete populations. We will often seek to target particular items for testing
based on their size or risk characteristics. In other cases, we will use audit sampling to enable
us to draw a conclusion about the population from which the sample is selected.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located
on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at
https://www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s
report.
Other matters which we are required to address
We were appointed by the board on 24 June 2025 to audit the financial statements. Our total
uninterrupted period of engagement is less than one year.
The non-audit services prohibited by the FRC’s Ethical Standard were not provided to the

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
69
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Statutory information
Fairview International PLC is a public limited company, registered in England. The Company’s
registered number 15528502 and registered office address Eastcastle House, 27 -28 Eastcastle
Street, London W1W 8DH, United Kingdom. The Company was established to acquire two
companies which own and operate two private independent schools in Malaysia that offer the
international baccalaureate programme.
1.2. Basis of preparation of financial statements
The principal accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial
statements are set out below. The financial statements have been presented in pounds
sterling (£), being the functional currency of the Company. The financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted
by the United Kingdom, including interpretations made by the International Financial
Reporting Interpretations Committee issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.
The standards have been applied consistently. The historical cost basis of preparation has
been used.
The Company applies merger accounting to reconstructions of entities under common control
in accordance with FRS 102. This policy applies to all reorganisations and transfers of entities
or businesses between entities under common control where the substance is a group
reconstruction rather than an arm’s-length acquisition.
The Company applies merger accounting where:
- The combining entities are under the control of the same party or parties both before
and after the transaction;
- The transaction is a reorganisation of the group (no change in ultimate economic
ownership or control); and
- It is practicable to restate comparatives for all periods presented.
Under merger accounting:
- Assets and liabilities of combining entities are recognised at their carrying amounts in
the predecessor entities immediately prior to the reconstruction.
- No goodwill is recognised.
- The investment held by the parent is eliminated against the subsidiary’s share capital,
share premium and other reserves using historical carrying amounts.
- Any difference between the consideration given and the carrying amount of net assets
acquired is recognised directly in equity, normally as a merger reserve
- Depreciation, amortisation and impairment are applied on the carrying amounts so
recognised.
- Financial information for prior periods are restated as if the group structure had existed
for all periods presented. If restatement is impracticable, the nature of the limitation and
its effect will be disclosed.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Standards and interpretations issued but not yet applied
A number of new standards and amendments to standards and interpretations have been
issued but are not yet effective and, in some cases, have not yet been adopted by the UK. The
Directors do not expect that the adoption of these standards will have a material impact on
the Group’s financial statements.
Going concern
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which assumes that
the Company will continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The Company has been financed through a combination of investment by its shareholders and
bank debt and, during the period the Company raised £2.6 million before costs, from the issue
of shares at the time of its IPO. The Company made a profit for the period of £2.2 million
before taxation (and exceptional items). Furthermore, the Company held bank balances of
£163,000 as at the year end.
In assessing whether the going concern assumption is appropriate, the Directors consider all
available information for the foreseeable future, in particular for the twelve months from the
date of approval of the financial statements. This information includes management prepared
cash flow forecasts, the Company’s current cash balances and the Company’s existing and
projected monthly running costs. Furthermore, the Directors are mindful that, if the Company
needs to raise further funds over the 12 months following approval of the financial statements
to execute its strategy and for working capital, it has the ability to access additional financing.
Specifically, the Company successfully completed an equity fundraising in October 2024 and
the Group’s bank facilities were renewed in June 2025.
Therefore, the Directors have made an informed judgement at the time of approving the
financial statements that there is a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate
resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue
to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.”
In making this statement, the Board has had regard to the following:
a. The Company’s 2026 Budget
b. No major new capital projects beyond those already approved as of the date of the
Budget
c. Interest rates on the Companys existing debt facilities which are assumed to range
from 4.57% to 8.50% per annum
d. The Company’s current cash balance and bank borrowings are in line with projections.
e. The ability to increase student numbers without a corresponding increase in academic
or administrative costs
The Board notes that, should Fairview experience cash flow difficulties at any time in the
future, the following mitigating actions may be available:
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
71
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
A delay in non-essential capital expenditure
The purchase of capital equipment under finance leases and hire purchase
Cost cutting
Renegotiation of bank facilities
Sale of surplus assets
Upfront collection of school fees
Earlier registration of student intake
On the basis of the above factors, the Board is of the view that Fairview is trading on a going
concern basis and will do so for at least the next 12 months.
1.3. Accounting policies
Financial assets
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Company becomes a party to
the contractual provisions of a financial instrument. Financial assets and financial liabilities are
offset if there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and interests
and it is intended to settle on a net basis. Cash comprises cash in hand and on demand
deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily
convertible to known amounts of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes
in value with maturities of less than 90 days.
Investments in subsidiary undertakings
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recorded at cost less provision for impairment.
Financial liabilities
The Company does not currently have any financial liabilities measured at fair value through
profit or loss, therefore all financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, net of
transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost. The Company recognises
an equity instrument on any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the
Company. In this period Ordinary Shares were the only equity instrument, recognised at the
point at which a call is made on the Shareholders.
1.4. Use of assumptions and estimates
In preparing the Interim financial statements, the Directors have to make judgments on how
to apply the Company’s accounting policies and make estimates about the future. The
Directors do not consider there to be any critical judgments that have been made in arriving
at the amounts recognised in the Company Interim financial statements.
1.5. Directors’ Remuneration
The amount paid to Directors are as disclosed in the above Directors Remuneration report No
amount was paid or has become payable to any of the Directors. There were no staff costs as
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
72
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
no employees other than the Directors were employed by the Company during the period
from incorporation to 30 June 2025.
1.6. Earnings per Ordinary Share
Consolidated earnings per share are set out in Note 24. There were no potentially dilutive
instruments in issue at the period end.
1.7. Investment in subsidiary company
On 29 February 2024, the Company entered into two Share Sale Agreements with Agodeus
Sdn Bhd (“Agodeus”), a company incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia to purchase two
international schools owned by Agodeus, in preparation for the Company’s plan of listing on
the London Stock Exchange. The purchase consideration of £18,889,200 for the two
international schools was satisfied and paid for by the issuance of 500,000,000 ordinary shares
at £0.03778 a share. The par value of share for the Company is £0.01 per share, the issuance
of shares would therefore, raised £0.02778 of share premium per share or in total
£13,889,200. Details for the two international schools are:
Purchase consideration (£)
Fairview Schools Berhad,Kuala Lumpur 18,351,837
Fairview International School Nusajaya Sdn.Bhd. Johor Bahru 537,363
18,889,200
1.8. Share capital
Upon incorporation of the Company on 28 February 2024, the Company issued 100 Ordinary
Shares of £1.00 nominal value. On the 3 June 2024, the Company subdivided its 100 Ordinary
Shares of £1.00 each into 10,000 Ordinary Shares £0.01 each. On 7 June 2024, the Company
issued additional 500,000,000 shares at a price of £0.03778 per share, as consideration for the
purchase of subsidiary companies mentioned in Note 1.7. The Company issued and allotted
29,490,000 ordinary shares at £0.01 per share on 3 October 2024, and 26,500,000 ordinary
shares on 11 October 2024.
1.9. Share premium
On 7 June 2024, the Company issued 500,000,000 shares at £0.03778 per share, as
consideration for the purchase of subsidiary companies mentioned in Note 1.7. The par value
per share for the Company is £0.01, the issuance value per share of £0.03778 would therefore,
raised £0.02778 of share premium per share or in total £13,889,200 for the Company. On 11
June 2024, the Company undertook a voluntary capital reduction scheme by a solvency
declaration to reduce its share premium entirely and therefore, the share premium was
extinguished entirely. The share premium extinguished was credited as distributable reserves.
A further share premium arose on the Company’s issue and allotment of 29,490,000 ordinary
shares at £0.01 per share on 3 October 2024, and 26,500,000 ordinary shares on 11 October
2024.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
73
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
1.10. Financial risk management
The Company uses a limited number of financial instruments which arise directly from
operations. The Company does not trade in financial instruments.
1.11. Capital management policy
The Directors’ objectives when managing the Company’s capital are to safeguard the
Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for Shareholders
and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the
cost of capital. The capital structure of the Company consists of equity attributable to equity
holders of the Company, comprising issued share capital and reserves.
1.12. Financial instruments
The Company’s principal financial instruments comprise other receivables. The Company’s
accounting policy and method adopted, including the criteria for recognition, the basis on
which income and expenses are recognised in respect of this financial asset, is set out in Notes
for “Accounting policies” to the Company Interim financial statements. The Company does
not use financial instruments for speculative purposes. There are no financial assets that are
either past due or impaired.
1.13. Ultimate parent company and ultimate controlling party
As at 30 June 2025, Agodeus Sdn Bhd is Fairview’s ultimate parent company. In the opinion of
the Directors, the ultimate controlling party is Mr Daniel Chian.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in conformity with the requirements of the
Companies Act 2006, as applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
These financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the Company and its
subsidiary undertakings (together referred to as the "Group") made up to 30 June 2025.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention, except where IFRS requires certain financial assets and liabilities to be measured
at fair value. The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these
consolidated financial statements are set out in Note 1 and have been consistently applied
throughout the current year, unless otherwise stated.
The financial statements are presented in Pounds Sterling (£), which is the Group’s
presentation currency.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
74
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. In making this
assessment, they have considered the Group’s current financial position, cash flow forecasts,
and available borrowing facilities. After reviewing these factors, the directors have a
reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational
existence for the foreseeable future.
The consolidated financial statements comply with the disclosure and filing requirements of
the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.
2.2 Adoption of Amended Standards
During the current financial year, the Group has adopted the following new accounting
standards and/or interpretations (including the consequential amendments, if any):
Annual improvements to IFRSs 2018 – 2020, IFRS 9: Financial Instruments – Fees in the
10% test for derecognition of financial liabilities

The adoption of the above accounting standards and/or interpretations (including the
consequential amendments, if any) did not have any material impact on the Group’s
financial statements.

The Directors expect that the adoption of the above accounting standards and/or
interpretations (including the consequential amendments, if any) will have no material impact
on the financial statements in the period of initial application.
2.4 Property, Plant and Equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. The cost of an item
of property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that
future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the
item can be measured reliably.
Subsequent to recognition, property, plant and equipment other than freehold land are
measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The
policy for recognition and measurement of impairment loss is in accordance with Note 2.5.
When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in
intervals, the Group recognises such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and
depreciation. Likewise, when a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognised in the
carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition
criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognised in profit or loss as
incurred.
Purchase of software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is
capitalised as part of that equipment.
Motor vehicles are depreciated on a revaluation model basis less its estimated residual value
based on observable market data. The gross carrying amount is restated by reference to
observable market data and the accumulated depreciation at the date of the revaluation is
adjusted to equal the difference between the gross carrying amount and the carrying amount
of the asset.
No depreciation is provided on freehold land.
Depreciation on other property, plant and equipment is computed on a straight-line basis over
the estimated useful lives of the assets at the following rates:
Rate
Building 2%
Furniture and fittings 25%
Electrical equipment 25%
Resource equipment 20% - 25%
Motor vehicle 20% - 25%
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
76
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss on derecognition of
the asset is included in the profit or loss in the year the asset is derecognised.
Fully depreciated plant and equipment are retained in the financial statements until they are
no longer in use and no further charge for depreciation is made in respect of these plant and
equipment.
2.5 Impairment of Non-Financial Assets
The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may
be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an
asset is required, the Group makes an estimate of the asset’s recoverable amount.
An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell and its value in
use. For the purpose of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for
which there are separately identifiable cash-generating units (“CGU”).
In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the
asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. Where the
carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is written down to its
recoverable amount. Impairment losses recognised in respect of a CGU or groups of CGUs are
allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to those units or groups
of units and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit or groups of
units on a pro-rata basis.
Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that
previously recognised impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. A
previously recognised impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the
estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss
was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its
recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been
determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such
reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
2.6 Functional and Foreign Currency
Functional and presentation currency
The individual financial statements of each entity in the Group are measured using the British
pound sterling (GBP) currency, which is the presentation currency.
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured in the respective functional currencies of the
Group and are recorded on initial recognition in the functional currencies at exchange rates
approximating those prevailing at the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the
reporting date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at
historical cost are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial
transactions. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies measured at fair value
are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
2.7 Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the statements of financial position
when the Group has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial instruments are classified as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity
instruments in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and their
definitions in IAS32. Interest, dividends, gains and losses relating to a financial instrument
classified as a liability are reported as an expense or income. Distributions to holders of
financial instruments classified as equity are charged directly to equity.
A financial instrument is recognised initially at its fair value (other than trade receivables
without significant financing component which are measured at transaction price as defined
in IFRS 15– Revenue from Contracts with Customers at inception). Transaction costs that are
directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial instrument (other than a
financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss) are added to/deducted from the fair
value on initial recognition, as appropriate. Transaction costs on the financial instrument at
fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Financial instruments recognised in the statements of financial position are disclosed in the
individual policy statement associated with each item.
Financial assets
All recognised financial assets are measured subsequently in their entirety at either amortised
cost or fair value (through profit or loss, or other comprehensive income), depending on the
classification of the financial assets.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
78
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
The Group determines the classification of their financial assets at initial recognition, and
designate all the financial assets as amortised cost. The Group do not have any financial assets
carried at fair value (through profit or loss, or other comprehensive income).
Amortised cost (debt instruments)
The financial asset is held for collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows
represent solely payments of principal and interest. Interest income is recognised by applying
the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of the financial asset. When the asset
has subsequently become credit-impaired, the interest income is recognised by applying the
effective interest rate to the amortised cost of the financial asset.
The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset
and of allocating interest income over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the
rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts (including all fees and points paid or
received that for GBP an integral part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other
premiums or discounts), excluding expected credit losses, through the expected life of the
financial asset or a shorter period (where appropriate).
Financial liabilities
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective
interest method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost
of a financial liability and of allocating interest expense over the relevant period. The effective
interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments (including all
fees and points paid or received that form an integral part of the effective interest rate,
transaction costs and other premiums or discounts), through the expected life of the financial
liability or a shorter period (where appropriate).
Derecognition
A financial asset or part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the contractual rights to
the cash flows from the financial asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and
substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortised cost, the difference between the
carrying amount of the asset and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is
recognised in profit or loss.
A financial liability or a part of it is derecognised when, and only when, the obligation specified
in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires. On derecognition of a financial liability,
the difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability extinguished or
transferred to another party and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets
transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
79
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the
statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the
recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realise the assets and
settle the liabilities simultaneously.
2.8 Expected Credit Losses
The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets that are
measured at amortised cost.
The expected credit loss is estimated as the difference between all contractual cash flows that
are due to the Group in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Group
expect to receive, discounted at the original effective interest rate.
The amount of expected credit losses is updated at each reporting date to reflect changes in
credit risk since initial recognition of the respective financial instrument. The Group always
recognises lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables using the simplified approach.
The expected credit losses on these financial assets are estimated using a provision matrix
based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience and are adjusted for forward-looking
information (including time value of money where appropriate).
For all other financial instruments, the Group recognises lifetime expected credit losses when
there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. However, if the
credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition,
the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12
month expected credit losses.
The Group recognises an impairment gain or loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments
with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
2.9 Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits with a
maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value,
net of outstanding bank overdrafts and fixed deposits pledged. For the purpose of the
statement of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents are presented net of bank overdrafts and
fixed deposits pledged.
2.10 Equity Instruments
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Dividends on ordinary shares are recognised in equity
in the period in which they are approved for payment. The transaction costs of an equity
transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity. Equity transaction costs comprise
only those incremental external costs directly attributable to the equity transaction which
would otherwise have been avoided.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
80
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
2.11 Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct
materials, direct labour costs and overheads, where applicable, that have been incurred in
bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the
weighted average method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all
estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution.
2.12 Leases
The Group assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease, at inception of the contract.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability with respect to all
lease arrangements in which it is the lessee, except for low-value assets and short-term leases
with 12 months or less. For these leases, the Group recognises the lease payments as an
operating expense on a straight-line method over the term of the lease unless another
systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from
the leased assets are consumed.
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement
date. The right-of-use assets and the associated lease liabilities are presented as a separate
line item in the statement of financial position.
The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost. Cost includes the initial amount of the
corresponding lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the
commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred less any incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and
any impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
The depreciation starts from the commencement date of the lease. If the lease transfers
ownership of the underlying asset to the Group or the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects
that the Group expects to exercise a purchase option, the related right-of-use asset is
depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Group depreciates the
right-of-use asset to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end
of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of the right-of-use assets are determined on the
same basis as those property, plant and equipment.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not
paid at the commencement date, discounted by using the rate implicit in the lease. If this rate
cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. The lease
liability is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is
remeasured when there is a change in the future lease payments (other than lease
modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease) with the corresponding adjustment
is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or is recognised in profit or loss if the
carrying amount has been reduced to zero.

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
2.13 Revenue and Other Income
Revenue from contracts with customers is recognised by reference to each distinct
performance obligation in the contract with customer. Revenue from contracts with
customers is measured at its transaction price, being the amount of consideration which the
Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a
customer, net of sales and service tax, rebates and discounts.
The Group recognises revenue when (or as) it transfers control over a product or service to
customer. An asset is transferred when (or as) the customer obtains control of that asset.
Depending on the substance of the contract, revenue is recognised when the performance
obligation is satisfied, which may be at a point in time or over time. The Group transfers
control of a good or service at a point in time unless one of the following over time criteria is
met:
The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as the Group
performs.
The Group’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the
asset is created or enhanced.
The Group’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the Group
has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date.
Revenue from educational fees
Revenue from educational fee is recognised on a straight-line basis over the duration of the
course.
Interest income
Interest income is recognised on an accrual basis using the effective interest method.
Government grants
Grants that compensate the Group for expense incurred are recognised in profit or loss as
other income on a systematic basis in the same period in which the expenses are recognised.
2.14 Segmental reporting
The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) has been identified as the Board of the
Company. The CODM reviews the Groups internal reporting in order to assess performance
and allocate resources. The CODM has determined that there is one operating segment being
the provision of educational services. The geographical revenue of the Group was earned
entirely in Malaysia during the year ended 30 June 2025 and the previous year.
2.15 Employee Benefits
Short-term benefits such as wages, salaries, bonuses and social security contributions are
recognised as expenses in the period in which the associated services are rendered by
employees of the Group short-term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
82
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
leave are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement
to future compensated absences. Short term non-accumulating compensated absences such
as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
Defined Contribution Plan
The Group’s contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised in profit or
loss in the period to which they relate. Once the contributions have been paid, the Group has
no further liability in respect of the defined contribution plans.
2.16 Income Tax
Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from
or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount
are those that are enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.
Current taxes are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items
recognised outside profit or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences at the reporting
date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial
reporting purposes.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except:
where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an
asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of
the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries
where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it
is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit
will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of
unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilised except:
where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises
from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business
combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit
nor taxable profit or loss; and
in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in
subsidiaries, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable
that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
83
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow
all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognised to
the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax
assets to be utilised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to
the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside profit or loss is recognised outside profit or
loss. Deferred tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in
other comprehensive income or directly in equity and deferred tax arising from a business
combination is adjusted against goodwill on acquisition.
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to
set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the
same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.
2.17 Current and Non-Current Classification
The Group present assets and liabilities in the statements of financial position based on
current and non-current classification.
An asset is classified as current when it is:
(i) expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle;
(ii) held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period; or
(iv) cash or cash equivalents unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a
liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is classified as current when:
(i) it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle;
(ii) it is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(iii) it is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or
(iv) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least 12
months after the reporting period.
All other liabilities are classified as non-current.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
84
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities,
respectively.
2.18 Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are not directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or
production of a qualifying asset are recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest
method.
2.19 Other Operating income
Other operating income comprises income that arises from the company’s ordinary activities
but is not derived from the principal revenue-generating activities. This includes rental
income, hostel services, and gains on disposal of non-current asset held for sale, unrealised
exchange difference arising from foreign currency transactions.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues,
expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the reporting
date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes
that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability
affected in the future.
Management believes that there are no instances of application of critical judgement in
applying the Group’s accounting policies which will have a significant effect on the amounts
recognised in the financial statements.
Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty at the
reporting date that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying
amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are set out below:
a) Depreciation of Property, Plant and Equipment
The estimates for the residual values, useful lives and related depreciation charges for
the property, plant and equipment are based on commercial and production factors
which could change significantly as a result of technical innovations and competitors
actions in response to the market conditions.
The Group anticipates that the residual values of its property, plant and equipment
will be insignificant. As a result, residual values are not being taken into consideration
for the computation of the depreciable amount.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
85
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Changes in the expected level of usage and technological development could impact
the economic useful lives and the residual values of these assets, therefore future
depreciation charges could be revised.
b) Income Taxes
Significant judgement is required in determining the capital allowances and
deductibility of certain expenses during the estimation of the provision for income
taxes. There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax
determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Where the final tax
outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially recorded,
such differences will impact the income tax and deferred income tax provisions in the
period in which such determination is made.
c) Impairment of Assets
When the recoverable amount of an asset is determined based on the estimate of the
value in-use of the cash-generating unit to which the asset is allocated, the
management is required to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from
the cash-generating unit and also to apply a suitable discount rate in order to
determine the present value of those cash flows.
d) Allowance for Impairment
The Group makes allowance for impairment based on an assessment of the
recoverability of receivables. Allowances are applied to receivables where events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable.
Management specifically analyses historical bad debt, customer concentration,
customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in customer
payment terms when making a judgement to evaluate the adequacy of the allowance
for impairment. Where the expectation is different from the original estimate, such
difference will impact the carrying value of receivables.
e) Fair Value Estimates for Certain Financial Assets and Liabilities
The Group carries certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, which requires
extensive use of accounting estimates and judgement. While significant components
of fair value measurement were determined using verifiable objective evidence, the
amount of changes in fair value would differ if the Group used different valuation
methodologies. Any changes in fair value of these assets and liabilities would affect
profit and equity.
f) Deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all unused tax losses, unabsorbed capital
allowances and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is
probable that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses,
unabsorbed capital allowances and other deductible temporary differences can be
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
86
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
utilised. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of
deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and level of
future taxable profits.

Credit risk is the risk of a financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a
financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. The Company’s exposure to
credit risk arises principally from advances to related parties. As at 30 June 2025, advances
amounting to £5.62 million (previous year: £5.25 million) are due after more than one year.
Inter-company balances
The Company provides unsecured advances to its related parties. The Company applies the
general approach to measuring expected credit losses for all inter-company balances.
Generally, the Company considers advances to related parties to have low credit risks. The
Company assumes that there is a significant increase in credit risk when related parties’
financial position deteriorates significantly. For loans and advances that are repayable on
demand, the Company considers the advances to be in default when related parties are not
able to pay when demanded. The Company considers related parties’ advances to be credit
impaired when the related parties are unlikely to repay its advances in full or the related
parties are continuously loss making or the related parties are having deficit in its total equity.

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Fairview International PLC (the Company) is the UK holding company established to acquire
two companies which owned two private independent schools in Malaysia that offer the
International Baccalaureate (IB) programme. The Company is registered in England (registered
number 15528502). Its registered office and principal place of business is Eastcastle House, 27-
28 Eastcastle Street, London W1W 8DH.
Basis of accounting
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the historical cost
convention and in accordance with FRS 102 ‘The Financial Reporting Standard’ applicable in
the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements present
information about the Company as an individual entity and the principal accounting policies
are described below. They have all been applied consistently throughout the period.
Reduced disclosure exemptions
The Company, as a qualifying entity, has taken advantage of the disclosure exemptions in FRS
102 paragraph 1.12 as follows:
No cash flow statement has been presented as the Company is included within
the consolidated financial statements of the Group
Disclosures in respect of the Company’s financial instruments have not been
presented as equivalent disclosures are included in the consolidated financial
statements of the Group. The Company has also taken advantage of the
disclosure exemptions in FRS 102 paragraph 33.1A as follows:
Related party transactions have not been disclosed with other wholly owned
members of the Group
Going concern
At 30 June 2025 the Company had net current assets of £1,563,000. The Company has
assessed its ongoing costs with cash generated by its subsidiaries to ensure that it can
continue to settle its debts as they fall due.
The Directors have, after careful consideration of the factors set out above, concluded that it
is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis for the preparation of the financial statements
and the financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result if the going
concern basis was not appropriate.
Investments
Investments held as fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for impairment.
COMPANY ACCOUNTS FOR FAIRVIEW INTERNATIONAL PLC

Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
Tax
Current tax, including UK corporation tax and foreign tax, is provided at amounts expected to
be paid (or recovered) using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively
enacted by the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not
reversed at the balance sheet date where transactions or events that result in an obligation
to pay more tax in the future or a right to pay less tax in the future have occurred at the
balance sheet date. Timing differences are differences between the Company’s taxable profits
and its results as stated in the financial statements that arise from the inclusion of gains and
losses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the
financial statements. A net deferred tax asset is regarded as recoverable and therefore
recognised only when, on the basis of all available evidence, it can be regarded as more likely
than not that there will be suitable taxable profits from which the future reversal of the
underlying timing differences can be deducted.
Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position when the
Company has become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the
recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors and
loans to related parties.
Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans and
receivables are measured initially at fair value and are measured subsequently at amortised
cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Creditors
Short-term trade creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities,
including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value and are measured subsequently at
amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities
that are not apparent from other sources. The estimates and assumptions are based on
historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these
estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the
COMPANY ACCOUNTS FOR FAIRVIEW INTERNATIONAL PLC
102
Fairview International PLC | Annual Report 2025
revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the
revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of
estimation uncertainty at the statement of financial position date that have a significant risk
of causing a significant adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the
financial statements:
Loss for the financial year
The Company has taken advantage of Section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and,
consequently, a profit and loss account for the Company alone has not been presented.
The Company’s loss for the financial year was £789,000.
The Companys loss for the financial year has been arrived at after charging auditor’s
remuneration payable to Macalvins Limited for audit services to the Company of £42,780.
Statutory information on remuneration for other services provided by the Company’s auditor
and its associates is included in the Independent Auditor’s Report on page 54.
