| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| The directors present their strategic report of the company and the group for the year ended 31 December 2024. |
| REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
| The principal activity of the Company continued to be the holding of investment in Aiimi Limited. The principal activity of the Group continued to be the provision of expert consulting services (Aiimi Services) specialising in digital, data and AI transformation, alongside the development and delivery of our Workplace AI platform (Aiimi Software), which enables our customers to operationalise AI and address complex data governance challenges |
| Financial Performance |
| In 2024, the Group delivered total revenue of £16.92m (2023: £19.16m), reflecting an 11.7% year-on-year decline. This was primarily driven by sector-specific challenges in the UK water and government markets. Revenue from Aiimi Services was £14.98m (2023: £17.42m), representing a 14% decline, while Aiimi Software achieved growth of 12%, reaching £1.95m (2023: £1.74m), underlining increasing demand for our AI-powered platform. |
| The Group reported a loss before tax of £2.85m (2023: profit before tax of £51.6k). Despite this, the Group remains in a strong financial position with Net Assets and Shareholders' Funds of £4.14m (2023: £5.38m) and a healthy cash balance of £2.90m (2023: £5.48m), reflecting continued investment in future growth. |
| Market Challenges and Sector Opportunities |
| UK Water Sector |
| The Group has an established presence in the UK water industry, delivering high-value digital and data solutions. In 2024, water utilities entered the transitional phase between AMP7 (2020-2025) and AMP8 (2025-2030), a period marked by regulatory uncertainty and financial constraints. With several utilities appealing their AMP8 settlements to the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), investment decisions were delayed or deferred, directly impacting customer spending on transformation initiatives. |
| Despite this, the Group remains bullish about the future. All major water companies are planning substantial increases in capital investment during AMP8, with an emphasis on data, digital, and AI capabilities. Confident in the sector's rebound, we made the strategic decision to maintain a higher-than-usual bench in the second half of 2024, positioning the Group to capitalise on renewed demand in 2025 and beyond. |
| UK Government |
| In 2024, the Group expanded its sales and marketing efforts to grow our footprint in the UK public sector. However, this ambition was hindered by a range of external factors: |
| - | The snap general election in July 2024 and the resulting purdah period paused decision-making across departments. |
| - | Continued fiscal tightening caused delays and cancellations in several large-scale programmes. |
| - | Ongoing procurement reform added complexity to bidding processes and increased the time to contract. |
| Despite these challenges, we see long-term opportunity. Government policy has placed increasing emphasis on the role of data and AI in driving national productivity and public sector efficiency - a direction that aligns perfectly with Group's capabilities. We are already seeing momentum building into 2025 and have invested to ensure we are well-positioned to support this transformation. |
| Growth and Strategic Progress |
| Customer Growth |
| Despite tough trading conditions, the Group secured a record number of net new customers in 2024 - 14 new services clients and 10 new software clients. This growth highlights sustained demand for our unique combination of cutting-edge technology, expert consulting, and proven domain knowledge. As AI adoption accelerates across industries, the Group's offering remains highly relevant and differentiated. |
| Strategic Investments |
| To position the business for long-term success, the Group made targeted investments across people, technology, and go-to-market capabilities. Key initiatives in 2024 included: |
| - | Hiring two new senior salespeople to drive commercial growth. |
| - | Launching a new pre-sales function to improve success on UK government frameworks. |
| - | Increasing investment in SEO, PR, digital campaigns, events, and strategic partnerships to expand our pipeline. |
| - | Expanding our software engineering and QA teams to accelerate product innovation. |
| - | Delivering a company-wide leadership training programme. |
| MEDINA HOUSE LTD (REGISTERED NUMBER: 08664941) |
| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| - | Advancing our internal transformation initiative - "Drinking Our Own Champagne" - to operationalise AI across our business via a world-class internal data platform. |
| - | Restructuring Aiimi Services into expert practices supported by people operations managers, to drive operational excellence. |
| - | Entering new international markets via partners, with projects delivered in the Middle East, South Africa, and North America. |
| Recognition and Responsibility |
| We are proud to have recertified to ISO27001 and Cyber Essentials Plus, reaffirming our commitment to security and compliance. We also continue to pursue best practices in environmental responsibility, maintaining our Carbon Neutral status and progressing adoption of ISO14064, ISO14068, and IWA42 with BSI. |
| Our commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and social impact remains central to our business. In 2024 we continued to support Harry's Rainbow, YMCA MK, and Transition Town MK, and launched a grant scheme with England Squash to promote access to sport in memory of a much-loved colleague. We also achieved Silver status under the Armed Forces Covenant, with ambitions to progress to Gold. |
| Outlook |
| The Directors are pleased with Group's resilience and strategic progress in what has been a tough year for the industry. We enter 2025 with optimism, underpinned by a strong pipeline, a highly capable team, and increasing market demand for AI and data-driven transformation. |
| Our core belief - that AI, when responsibly deployed, has the power to solve complex challenges and unlock new value - continues to guide our strategy. With the foundations laid in 2024, we are confident the Group is well-positioned for a return to growth and long-term success. |
| PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
| The board of directors and the wider management team continually monitor the key risks facing the Group, and assess the appropriate controls to manage those risks. Effective risk-management is fundamental to delivering the Group's strategic objectives. These are the principal risks and uncertainties facing the Group: |
| 1. | Recruitment and employee retention: |
| Our people remain crucial to our success and the continued high demand for talent means it is essential t |
| 2. | Market growth and competition: |
| The Insight Engines Market is projected to reach to USD 9.1 billion by 2030, at a compound growth rate ( |
| Research suggests that two thirds of organisations expect to increase their AI investment over the next thr |

| According to 2024 research by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, half of business |
| 4. | Business Interruption: |
| With the continued war in Ukraine, and new governments in the UK and US, combined with uncertainty in |
| KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS |
| The board of directors and wider management team regularly review key performance indicators for the Group. This enables the Group to track performance and make necessary changes when needed to ensure we achieve our strategic objectives. Here are our key performance indicators to manage performance: |
| Main |
| 1. | Gross Margin: |
| Gross margin for 2024 was 48.45%, equating to a decline of 3.37% on prior year (2023: 51.82%). |
| 2. | EBITDA (Earnings before Interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization): |
| Whilst we aim to increase EBITDA year on year, the impact of a challenging economic environment, coupled with a shift in the political landscape resulted in EBITDA of -£2,499k, representing a 780.54% decline against prior year (2023: £367.2k). |

| GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| 3. | PBIT (Profit before interest and tax): |
| Profitability is held as a key metric within the business. In line with a declined EBITDA, we posted a loss for 2024 of £2,794k (2023: PBIT of £111k). |
| 4. | Cash at Bank: |
| A strong cash balance continues to be a key part of our strategy. Despite posting a loss, our cash reserves remain strong, and we closed 2024 with £2.90m of cash in the bank (2023: £5.48m). |
| 5. | Working Capital: |
| We aim to maintain a high working capital ratio, as a good indicator of overall financial health. This has been achieved with a ratio of 1.89, a decrease on the prior year (2023: 2.45). |
| 6. | Debtors Days: |
| Debtor days have remained consistent at 42.1 days (2023: 40.9 days) reflecting our diligence in our cash collection - we endeavour to ensure our cash is collected within our customer terms, and continue to be extra vigilant particularly with new customers on board. |

The main purpose of these instruments is to raise funds for the group's operations and to finance its continuing operations. Liquidity risk is managed by the use of bank balances along with efficient monitoring and forecasting of cash flow to ensure there are sufficient funds to meet liabilities.

| STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Group Strategic Report, the Report of the Directors and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and the group and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| - | select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; |
| - | make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| - | prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's and the group's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and the group and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and the group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |

| REPORT OF THE DIRECTORS |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| STATEMENT AS TO DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION TO AUDITORS |
| 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 group's auditors are unaware, and each director has taken all the steps that he or she ought to have taken as a director in order to make himself or herself aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the group's auditors are aware of that information. |
| AUDITORS |
| The auditors, Magma Audit LLP, has expressed its willingness to remain in office as auditors. |
| ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| MEDINA HOUSE LTD |
| Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of Medina House Ltd (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the year ended 31 December 2024 which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Company Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Company Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice). |
| In our opinion the financial statements: |
| - | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and of the parent company affairs as at 31 December 2024 and of the group's loss for the year then ended; |
| - | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
| - | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
| 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 Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are 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, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. |
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
| Other information |
| The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors, but does not include the financial statements and our Report of the Auditors thereon. |
| Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. |
| Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
| - | the information given in the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| - | the Group Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| MEDINA HOUSE LTD |
| Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
| In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the parent company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Group Strategic Report or the Report of the Directors. |
| We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion: |
| - | adequate accounting records have not been kept by the parent company, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
| - | the parent company financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
| - | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made; or |
| - | we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit. |
| Responsibilities of directors |
| As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities set out on page five, 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 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 group's and the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the group or the parent company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
| Auditors' 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 a Report of the Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. |
| The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: |
| Based on our understanding of the group and industry, we identified the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations, and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the financial statements such as the Companies Act 2006. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries and management bias in accounting estimates. Audit procedures performed included: |
| - | discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance with laws and regulation and fraud; |
| - | challenging assumptions made by management in their significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to accrued and deferred income, the dilapidation provision, the useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets and the valuation of share options; and |
| - | identifying and testing journal entries, in particular any journal entries posted with unusual account combinations, journal entries crediting cash and journal entries with specific defined descriptions. |
| There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of 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. |
| A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Report of the Auditors. |
| REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF |
| MEDINA HOUSE LTD |
| Use of our report |
| This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in a Report of the Auditors and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Medina House Ltd is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales, registration number 08664941. The address of the registered office is 100 Avebury Boulevard, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, MK9 1FH. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below.These policies have been consistently applied to all years presented, unless otherwise stated. |
| The financial statements are presented in £ Sterling. |
| Basis of consolidation |
| The consolidated financial statements incorporate those of Medina House Ltd and all of its subsidiaries (i.e. entities that the Group controls through its power to govern the financial and operating policies so as to obtain economic benefits). Subsidiaries acquired during the year are consolidated using the acquisition method of accounting. The results are incorporated from the date control passes. All financial statements are made up to 31 December. |
| All intra-group transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated on consolidation. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. |
| Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring the accounting policies used into line with those used by other members of the Group. |
| Related party exemption |
| The group has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
| Transactions between group entities which have been eliminated on consolidation are not disclosed within the financial statements. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover 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. |
| Goodwill |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Development costs are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of three years. |

| NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. |
| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using either a straight line or reducing balance method, as indicated below. |
| Depreciation is provided on the following basis: |
| Fixtures & Fittings | - | 20% to 33% straight line |
| Computer Equipment | - | 33% straight line |
| Short Leasehold Land & Buildings | - | 10% straight line |
| 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 the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. |
| Financial instruments |
| (i) Financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, including trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. |
| (ii) Financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
| Taxation |
| 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. |
| 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; and |
| - Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met. |
| Both current and deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
| Research and development |
| Research expenditure is written off to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in the year in which it is incurred. Development expenditure is written off in the same way unless the directors are satisfied as to the technical, commercial and financial viability of individual projects. In this situation, the expenditure is deferred and amortised over the period during which the company is expected to benefit. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Foreign currencies |
| Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
| Operating leases |
| Leases that do not transfer all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as operating leases. Payments under operating leases are charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Incentives received to enter into an operating lease are credited to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, to reduce the lease expense, on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The group contributes to a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are recognised in profit or loss as they become payable. |
| Share capital |
| Ordinary shares are classified as equity. |
| Dilapidation provision |
| Provision is made for the net present value of the estimated future costs at the end of the rental agreement. The provision is calculated using estimated costs, and these estimates have been arrived at by consideration of the expected costs of contracts to remove the installed fixtures and fittings. The estimates are discounted at a rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. A corresponding asset is recognised and included within the short leasehold land & buildings and is depreciated over the life of the lease. The estimated future costs are regularly reviewed and adjusted as appropriate for new circumstances. |
| Share based payments |
| The Group employees benefit from share options issued by the parent company. The Group allocates share-based expenses relating to Group's employees based on a direct allocation of share-based expense to the employees of the Group employed by Group companies based on the actual shares granted to those employees. The Group allocates expenses based on the fair market value of the shares vested. The fair value of the share options at the grant date was calculated using observable market transactions, which is considered to be the most appropriate generally accepted valuation of measuring fair value. |
| The parent company recognises shared based payment movement as a fair value adjustment within Fixed assets investments - Shares in group undertakings, with a corresponding amount held in the share option reserve. The subsidiary companies recognises the share based payment expense movement in the Statement of comprehensive income with a corresponding amount held in the Capital contribution reserve. Upon consolidation the parent company's Fixed Asset Investment adjustment and subsidiary company Capital contribution reserve are eliminated. |

| 3. | CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
| In the application of the group’s accounting policies, the directors are 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 estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are as follows: |
| (i) Provisions |
| Provisions are made for dilapidations and contingencies. These provisions require management's best estimate of the costs that will be incurred based on legislative and contractual requirements. In addition, the timing of the cash flows and the discount rates used to establish the net present value of the obligations require management's judgement. |
| (ii) Accrued and deferred income |
| Accrued income is estimated based on the value of unbilled time worked by consultants at the reporting date. Management estimate accrued income based on days worked by consultants on each project multiplied by the agreed day rate stipulated in contracts with customers. Deferred income is recognised where the value of invoices to date exceed the value of days worked by consultants on a contract and management estimate that more time will be required to fulfill the obligations of the contract. |
| (iii) Share option valuation |
| Share options issued by the group are held at their fair value. The fair value of share options is assessed annually by management and is subject to vesting conditions and expected future exercise. |
| (iv) Carrying value of investments |
| The investment is held at cost and when assessing annually for impairment management consider factors including but not limited to the cash flows expected to arise from the investments and trading performance. |
| (v) Useful economic lives of tangible assets |
| The annual depreciation charge for tangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated useful economic lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. They are amended when necessary to reflect current estimates, based on technological advancement, future investments, economic utilisation and the physical condition of the assets. |
