The director presents their Strategic Report for Tractable Ltd. ("Tractable") and its subsidiaries ("the Group") for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Tractable is a Business to Business ("B2B") Software as a Service ("SAAS") platform that sells and develops Artificial Intelligence ("Al") enabled technology to help accelerate the insurance claims and damage appraisal process. It has established customers and use cases in the automotive and property industry. The Group's proprietary Al software augments and automates the damage recovery process that has historically relied on an in-person visual damage appraisal.
The Group has subsidiaries based in Japan, Germany, France, Romania and a representation office in Thailand. The operational headquarters are based in London. During the year the Group incorporated a new entity in Romania and the Brazilian subsidiary was closed down.
The Group's turnover in 2023 has decreased by 7% (increase 2022: 32%). In addition the Group has continued its investment in Research & Development, Sales & Marketing and other functions to enable and support continued growth going forward.
The Group's activities expose it to the following financial risks:
Foreign exchange risk
The Group actively monitors foreign exchange risk and routinely assesses bank balances per currency to limit the amount of exposure to foreign exchange risk the business has. The Group limits its transactions in foreign currencies where they can in order to reduce this risk.
Credit risk
The Group actively monitors their accounts receivable balances. To date it has not had significant exposure to bad debt and has a strong accounts receivable ageing profile.
Interest rate risk
The Group currently has no external borrowings but does have access to a revolving credit facility agreement.
Inflation
The global economy is experiencing inflationary pressures in almost all sectors and as a result the Group is constantly monitoring the market situation in terms of increasing costs, interest rates, inflation, and general recessionary matters. The business has not experienced a significant impact to date and the director believes the Group to be reasonably protected.
Climate change
The director recognises the objective of reducing the environmental impact of group activities and continue to review opportunities for improved energy efficiency within all operations and activities.
Following a review carried out by the Management, the Company energy usage has not altered significantly and is still classified as a Low Energy User, being less than 40,000 kWh per annum, therefore the Company has taken advantage of the exemption from reporting its energy consumption in line with the Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting legislation. Energy reduction actions taken in 2023 include:
Increased use of technology to facilitate client, supplier and service provider meeting remotely rather than driving;
Maintaining all office lighting and electrical equipment switched off when not in use.
The director uses Key Performance Indicators ("KPIs") to monitor and assess Group performance. Management consider the following as their KPls:
| 2023 | 2022 |
Turnover | £16,201,317 | £17,405,829 |
Gross Margin | 71% | 69% |

A section 172 statement has not been included in the strategic report as the company qualifies for an exemption under the medium-sized companies' regime.

The director expects the business to continue to grow in the forthcoming year, based on its product development and increased adoption by new and existing customers.
Matters covered in the Strategic Report
See the Strategic Report for the business review and details of the principal risks and uncertainties.
The auditor, KPMG LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
We have audited the financial statements of Tractable Ltd. ("the Company") for the year ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Balance Sheet, Company Balance Sheet, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and related notes, including the accounting policies in note 1.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) ("ISAs (UK)") and applicable law. Our responsibilities are described below. We have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities under, and are independent of the Group in accordance with, UK ethical requirements including the FRC Ethical Standard. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is a sufficient and appropriate basis for our opinion.
Going concern
The director has prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis as he does not intend to liquidate the Group or the Company or to cease their operations, and as he has concluded that the Group and the Company's financial position means that this is realistic. He has also concluded that there are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant doubt over their ability to continue as a going concern for at least a year from the date of approval of the financial statements ("the going concern period").
In our evaluation of the director’s conclusions, we considered the inherent risks to the Group's business model and analysed how those risks might affect the Group and Company's financial resources or ability to continue operations over the going concern period.
Our conclusions based on this work:
we consider that the director’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate;
we have not identified, and concur with the director’s assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Group or the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for the going concern period.
However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that the Group or the Company will continue in operation.
Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations - ability to detect
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to fraud
To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud ("fraud risks") we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:
Enquiring of the director as to the Group's and Company's high-level policies and procedures to prevent and detect fraud, as well as whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.
Reading Board meeting minutes.
Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.
We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout the audit.
As required by auditing standards, and taking into account our overall knowledge of the control environment, we perform procedures to address the risk of management override of controls and the risk of fraudulent revenue recognition, in particular the risk that revenue is recorded in the wrong period and management may be in a position to make inappropriate accounting entries. On this audit we do not believe there is a fraud risk related to revenue recognition because the Group has only a few customers with individual contracts and there is no judgement or complexity with respect to revenue recognition on the contracts.
We did not identify any additional fraud risks.
In determining the audit procedures we took into account the results of our evaluation and testing of the operating effectiveness of some of the Group-wide fraud risk management controls.
We also performed procedures including:
Identifying journal entries to test based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to supporting documentation. These included those posted to unusual account combinations and other unusual journal characteristics.
Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement related to compliance with laws and regulations
We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements from our general commercial and sector experience and through discussion with the director and other management (as required by auditing standards), and discussed with the director and other management the policies and procedures regarding compliance with laws and regulations.
We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our team and remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout the audit.
The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial statements varies considerably.
Firstly, the Group is subject to laws and regulations that directly affect the financial statements including financial reporting legislation (including related companies legislation), distributable profits legislation and taxation legislation and we assessed the extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our procedures on the related financial statement items.
Secondly, the Group is subject to many other laws and regulations where the consequences of non-compliance could have a material effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for instance through the imposition of fines or litigation or the loss of the Company 's license to operate. We identified the following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: health and safety, anti-bribery, anti-money laundering, Consumer Rights Act 2015 and Sale of Goods Act, foreign corrupt practices, GDPR compliance, environmental protection, climate change and certain aspects of company legislation recognising the nature of the Group's activities. Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.
Context of the ability of the audit to detect fraud or breaches of law or regulation
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it.
In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing non compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
Strategic report and director's report
The director is responsible for the strategic report and the director’s report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover those reports and we do not express an audit opinion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the strategic report and the director’s report and, in doing so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit work, the information therein is materially misstated or inconsistent with the financial statements or our audit knowledge. Based solely on that work:
we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report and the director’s report;
in our opinion the information given in those reports for the financial year is consistent with the financial statements; and
in our opinion those reports have been prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 2006.
Under the Companies Act 2006, we are required 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 are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
certain disclosures of director’s remuneration specified by law are not made; or
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.
We have nothing to report in these respects.
As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 5, the director is responsible for: the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing the Group and parent Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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 our opinion in an auditor's report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but does not 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 aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial statements.
A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the FRC's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.
The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities
This report is made solely to the Company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the Company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the Company and the Company's members, as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
All amounts are related to continuing operations.

Tractable Ltd. (the Company) is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom under the Companies Act 2006 and is registered in England and Wales. The address of the Company's registered office is 71-75 Shelton Street, London, WC2H 9JQ, United Kingdom.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 2).
The Company's functional and presentational currency is pound sterling.
The Parent Company is included in the consolidated financial statements, and is considered to be a qualifying entity under FRS 102 paragraphs 1.8 to 1.12.
The following exemptions available under FRS 102 in respect of certain disclosures for the Parent Company financial statements have been applied:
No separate Parent company Profit and Loss Account, Cash Flow Statement with related notes is included; and
Key Management Personnel compensation has not been included;
Certain disclosures required by FRS 102.11 Basic Financial Instruments and FRS 102.12 Other Financial Instrument Issues in respect of financial instruments not falling within the fair value accounting rules of Paragraph 36(4) of Schedule 1.
The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements.
The consolidated financial statements present the results of the Company and its own subsidiaries ("the Group") as if they form a single entity. Intercompany transactions and balances between group companies are therefore eliminated in full.
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the results of business combinations using the purchase method. In the Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.
In accordance with the transitional exemption available in FRS 102, the Group has chosen not to retrospectively apply the standard to business combinations that occurred before the date of transition to FRS 102, being 01 January 2019.
Notwithstanding net current liabilities of £36,498 (2022: net current assets £5,390,679) as at 31 December 2023, a loss for the year then ended of £19,925,811 (2022: £35,616,380) and operating cash outflows for the year of £16,747,786 (2022: £41,496,394), the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which the director considers to be appropriate for the following reasons.
The director has performed a going concern assessment for Tractable Ltd (audited consolidated group) which indicates that, taking account of reasonably possible downsides the company is reliant on the ultimate parent company Tractable Inc to not call outstanding liabilities of £4,068,598 at 31 December 2023 as well as for them to continue providing additional financial support, to meet its liabilities as they fall due during the going concern assessment period.
Tractable Inc has indicated its intention to continue to make available such funds as are needed by the company during the going concern assessment period. The director of Tractable Inc has prepared cashflow forecasts of Tractable Inc consolidated group for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts on a conservative basis. The director has considered a reasonable downside scenario compared to the base case forecast. The key assumptions in this downside scenario include a reduction in revenue and a corresponding decrease in expenses. In this reasonable possible downside scenario the Group remains cash generative and there will be enough cash balance as at year end. The Group also has access to a $40m Revolving Credit Facility agreement which is undrawn at the date of signing these financial statements. The downside case does not require utilisation of this facility. The Group was in compliance with all related financial covenants as of 31 December 2023 and forecasts to remain in compliance for at least 12 months from signing these financial statements.
As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support the director acknowledges that there can be no certainty that this support will continue, although at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. Consequently, the director is confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on going concern basis.
Revenue is recognised over time to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Group will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
The Group only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties, investments in ordinary shares and cash and cash equivalents.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or in case of an out-right short-term loan that is not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially at the present value of future cash flows discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost, unless it qualifies as a loan from a director in the case of a small company, or a public benefit entity concessionary loan.
Investments in non-derivative instruments that are equity to the issuer are measured:
at fair value with changes recognised in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account if the shares are publicly traded or their fair value can otherwise be measured reliably;
at cost less impairment for all other investments.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Group would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or income as appropriate. The Company does not currently apply hedge accounting for interest rate and foreign exchange derivatives.
Equity instruments issued by the group are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the Group.
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and the Group operate and generate income.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits;
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met; and
Where they relate to timing differences in respect of interests in subsidiaries, associates, branches and joint ventures and the Group can control the reversal of the timing differences and such reversal is not considered probable in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
The Group operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Group has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Group in independently administered funds.
Termination benefits
Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the Company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined
Debtors
Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Creditors
Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Other operating income
Intercompany payments to compensate Tractable Ltd for (i) R&D related services provided and (ii) for the utilisation of its Intellectual Property, are recognised as Other Operating Income in the Consolidated Profit and Loss Account.
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. 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 where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The director does not consider there to be any key sources of estimation uncertainty or any critical accounting judgements.
An analysis of the Group's turnover is as follows:
Turnover for the Americas is included in our ultimate parent accounts and not part of the Tractable Ltd Group consolidated accounts.
There were no non audit fees paid during the year (2022: £nil).
The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the Group and Company during the year was:
Their aggregate remuneration comprised:
There are no retirement benefits accruing to the directors under money purchase schemes or defined benefit schemes, or that exercised any share options as there are none.
No profit and loss account is presented for Tractable Ltd, the Company, as permitted by section 408(3) of the Companies Act 2006. The result after taxation of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2023 was a loss of £20,285,392 (2022: £35,527,891).
The actual credit for the year can be reconciled to the expected credit for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:
Factors that may affect future tax charges
Following the substantive enactment of the Finance Act 2021, effective 1 April 2023 the applicable corporation tax rate is now 25% (for companies with profits over £250,000) and continues to be 19% (for companies with profits of £50,000 or less). Companies with profits between £50,000 and £250,000 pay tax at the main rate reduced by a marginal relief providing a gradual increase in the effective Corporation Tax rate. As a result, deferred tax has been calculated at 25% (2022:19%).
The Group has fixed and floating charges on its assets relating to its Revolving Credit Facility.
Details of the Company's subsidiaries at 31 December 2023 are as follows:
Tractable Ltd. hold a representative office in Thailand and its registered office is 88 The Parq Building, 78th Floor, Ratchadaphisek Road, Klongtoey Sub-district, Klongtoey District, Bangkok, 10110.
The following are the major deferred tax liabilities and assets recognised by the Group and Company, and movements thereon:
During the year 2,850,000 ordinary shares of £0.01 nominal value were issued for the amount of £14,139,000, giving rise to £14,110,500 of share premium.
The ordinary shares have attached to them full voting and dividend rights. They do not confer any rights of redemption. On a return of capital, if the pro rata amount payable to each holder of A ordinary shares would equal less than the issue price of the A ordinary shares, the A ordinary shares shall rank ahead of the ordinary shares with respect to a distribution of capital (including on winding up).
The A ordinary shares have attached to them full voting and dividend rights. They do not confer any rights of redemption. On a return of capital (including winding up) the amount payable in respect of each A ordinary share shall be an amount per A ordinary share held equal to the higher of (A) the aggregate issue price for each A ordinary share held (provided that if there are insufficient surplus assets to pay the amounts per A ordinary share equal to the issue price, the remaining surplus assets shall be distributed to each holder of A ordinary shares pro rata to their respective holding of A ordinary shares) and (B) the pro rata share of such assets or proceeds to which each holder of A ordinary shares is entitled to according to the number of A ordinary shares held by him.
Share premium represents the amount of money that a Company receives for its shares over and above their nominal value.
Other reserves
Other reserves represent the currency translation difference on foreign currency net investments.
Profit and loss account
Profit and loss account represents cumulative profit's and losses net of dividends paid and other adjustments.
The Group operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Group and amounted to £857,373 (2022: £889,502). As at 31 December 2023 the total amount accrued was £126,964 (2022: £49,646).
At the reporting end date the Group had outstanding commitments for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases, which fall due as follows:
In accordance with FRS 102 Section 33, the Company has not disclosed any related party transactions between wholly owned entities within the Group.
There are no outstanding loans to the director.
The Group held an intercompany creditor with Tractable Inc (the immediate Parent Company) of £4,068,598 at 31 December, 2023 (2022: £3,582,189). During the year, the Company issued ordinary shares for the amount of £14,139,000 to its parent entity Tractable Inc.
Other operating expenses of £336,960 (income 2022: £686,796) was also recognised by the Group in relation to intercompany transactions with Tractable Inc (the immediate Parent Company).
There are no post balance sheet event to report to the date of this report.
In the prior year, the R&D tax credit was incorrectly netted within administrative expenses. This has been adjusted by restating each of the affected financial statement line items for prior periods.
The following table summarises the impact on the Company financial statements.
