GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The Directors present their Strategic Report for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Principal activity The principal activity of the Group is to provide a Software as a Service (SaaS) digital engineering platform to integrate supply chains for capital projects, infrastructure developments, and asset management.
Asite Limited continues to strengthen its position as a leading provider of digital engineering and supply chain collaboration solutions for the built environment. The Group remains committed to its vision of connecting people and helping the world to build better.
During the year, revenue increased by 25%, from £22,480,315 in 2024 to £28,090,488 in 2025. Annual Recurring Revenue grew 17%, from £23,502,000 in June 2024 to £27,590,116 in June 2025. This strong growth was driven by significant contract wins and the continued adoption of Asite’s Software as a Service (SaaS) platform across Asite’s global markets. The Group generated an operating profit of £3,143,492 compared with an operating loss of £2,365,544 in the previous year. The year-on-year improvement in EBITDA, from £382,506 in 2024 to £5,935,329 in 2025, was primarily due to strong revenue growth and effective cost control measures. The company has strengthened materially during the year and has established a sustainable profitable operating platform.
The Group tracks several financial and operational KPIs to measure its performance:
• Turnover: £28,090,488 (2024: £22,480,315) • EBITDA: £5,935,329 (2024: £382,506) • EBITDA as % of turnover: 21.1% (2024: 1.7%) • Average headcount: 424 employees (2024: 480 employees) • Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR): £27,590,116 (2024: £23,502,000) The positive EBITDA trend reflects continued improvements in operational efficiency and controlled spending, particularly in distribution and administrative expenses.

GROUP STRATEGIC REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Current trading, market conditions and outlook In FY26, the strong performance of the global construction sector is expected to drive further business growth. The Group is experiencing continued strong revenue growth both in net new business and in increased uptake within existing customer accounts. This growth, combined with continued focus on operational efficiency, is expected to deliver a strong EBITDA positive position for the Group in FY25. All Asite markets are now trading profitably. Continued EBITDA growth and effective working capital management will further strengthen the balance sheet and cash reserves. Overall, Asite’s financial position is robust and sustainable. The Group remains focused on: • Expanding product offerings and enhancing its platform’s capabilities. • Strengthening partnerships to drive adoption across the construction and infrastructure sectors. • Exploring new market opportunities to further increase recurring revenue streams.
Asite Limited continuously assesses and mitigates risks that could impact its operations. Key risks include:
•Talent Retention: The ability to attract and retain key employees remains critical to the Group’s success. Competitive compensation and professional development initiatives are in place to mitigate this risk.
•Technology and Innovation: The Group invests heavily in R&D to stay ahead of industry trends and mitigate risks related to technology obsolescence.
•Regulatory and Compliance Risks: Compliance with data protection regulations and industry standards remains a top priority. The company has robust policies to address these areas.

The Directors are aware of their duty under s.172 of the Companies Act 2006 to act in the way they would consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the Group for the benefit of its members as a whole and, in doing so, to have regard (amongst other matters) to:
– the likely consequences of its decisions in the long-term; – the interests of the Group’s employees; – the need to foster the Group’s business relationships with suppliers, customers and others; – the impact of the Group’s operations on the community and the environment; and – the desirability of the Group maintaining a reputation for high standards of business conduct.

Quantification and reporting methodology We have followed the 2019 HM Government Environmental Reporting Guidelines. We have also used the GHG Reporting Protocol - Corporate Standard and have used the 2024 UK Government's Conversion Factors for Company Reporting. Energy Intensity Ratio The Group has selected tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per employee (tCO2e per employee) as its primary intensity metric. This metric has been chosen as the Group’s energy consumption and associated emissions arise principally from office-based activities and employee business travel, making headcount an appropriate indicator of operational scale. For the reporting period, the Group recorded total Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of 17.5 tCO2e and an average of 65 employees during the year. This results in an emissions intensity ratio of: 0.27 tCO2e per employee The Group considers this metric to provide a meaningful measure of carbon efficiency relative to workforce size and enables consistent year-on-year comparison as the business grows. Energy Efficiency Actions and Outcomes During the reporting period, the Group undertook a review of its cloud hosting environment and implemented data optimisation measures to reduce unnecessary data storage and processing volumes. This included agreeing the deletion of redundant customer data held in our cloud hosting and improvements to data retention controls. The Group has also implemented data caps to the majority of new customer contracts to encourage our customers to only store data that is relevant to their use of the platform. We have already seen a reduction in the growth of data stored on the cloud as a result which is positive. While cloud hosting emissions are not included within Scope 1 or Scope 2 under the Group’s operational control boundary, these actions are expected to contribute to reduced overall energy demand within the Group’s value chain.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Future developments The Group continues to invest in the development of its OpenWage technology platform, a payroll and workforce payments solution designed to facilitate wage advances to employees. During the year, development activity remained paused following the loss of a key member of management involved in the commercialisation of the platform. Management currently expects development activities to recommence from January 2027, with a view to finalising the product and progressing commercial deployment. The directors remain committed to the project and believe that the Openwage platform has the potential to provide an innovative complementary offering alongside the Group's existing software solutions. Forecasts prepared by management continue to support the expected generation of future economic benefits from the technology and underpin the carrying value of the related development asset recognised within intangible fixed assets. Over the next 12 to 24 months, the Group's focus will be on completing the remaining development work, further validating the product's commercial proposition and evaluating opportunities to bring the platform to market. The directors will continue to monitor development progress, customer demand and the wider market environment to ensure that the Group's investment in the technology remains appropriate and delivers long-term value for stakeholders.
This report was approved by the board and signed on its behalf.

∙make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;

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 the Group and to enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and the Group and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The profit for the year, after taxation, amounted to £6,047,510 (2024 - loss £2,929,156).

DIRECTORS' REPORT (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Management of our relationships with customers, suppliers and other stakeholders is a key priority of the business.
Customers We engage collaboratively with our customers and their end-to-end experience is essential to our success. Utilising data insights is a core tenet of understanding our customers and our customer relationship management (CRM) system provides a single view of the customer. We regularly consult our customers to obtain feedback, and refine how we harness this to deliver an improved customer experience. In addition to dedicated account managers who support the interests of key customers, our Customer Success team liaises with customers to ensure they enjoy the best possible partnership with Asite and that any issues are addressed proactively. Suppliers Asite places a high value on its relationships with suppliers, including contractors and service providers. Working closely with both existing and new suppliers is crucial for maintaining efficiency across the Group. By establishing strong partnerships and utilizing adequate systems and infrastructure, we can streamline operations, reduce costs, and ensure a consistent supply of high-quality materials and services.
There have been no significant events affecting the company since the year end.
Going concern The directors have assessed the Group's and Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The Group reported a profit after taxation of £6.0 million for the year ended 30 June 2025 (2024: loss of £2.9 million), generated operating cash inflows of £8.7 million (2024: cash outflow of £0.5 million) and had cash balances of £2.5 million at the year end. At 30 June 2025, the Group had net assets of £10.0 million (2024: £4.3 million) and cash balances of £2.5 million (2024: £0.9 million). During the year, the Group also refinanced and repaid its previous Ashgrove borrowing facility. The Company had net assets of £5.6m (2024: £9.9m). The directors have reviewed detailed forecasts and cash flow projections. The forecasts indicate that the Group and Company will have sufficient financial resources to meet their obligations as they fall due throughout the assessment period. Sensitivity analysis has also been performed against the forecast assumptions and the directors remain satisfied that adequate liquidity and headroom are maintained. Accordingly, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and therefore continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ASITE LIMITED
We have audited the financial statements of Asite Limited (the 'parent Company') and its subsidiaries (the 'Group') for the year ended 30 June 2025, which comprise the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the Company Statement of Financial Position, the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Company Statement of Changes in Equity and the related notes, 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).
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, including the Financial Reporting Council's Ethical Standard and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We draw attention to Note 30 to the financial statements, which describes the correction of a material prior period error relating to the accounting treatment of expenditure incurred in connection with the development of the OpenWage Technology. As explained in the note, following a review of the underlying arrangements and beneficial ownership of the related intellectual property, management concluded that certain qualifying development expenditure should have been recognised as an internally generated intangible asset in accordance with FRS 102 Section 18. Accordingly, the comparative information has been restated and opening reserves adjusted.
Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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 or 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ASITE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
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 the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
∙the information given in the Group 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 Group Strategic Report and the Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the 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 Directors' Report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF ASITE LIMITED (CONTINUED)
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 Group financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
•We obtained an understanding of laws and regulations that affect the Company, focusing on those that had a direct effect on the financial statements or that had a fundamental effect on its operations. Key laws and regulations that we identified included the UK Companies Act, tax legislation GDPR and occupational health and employment legislation.
•We enquired of the Directors, reviewed correspondence with HMRC and reviewed director's meeting minutes for evidence of non-compliance with relevant laws and regulations. We also reviewed controls the Directors have in place to ensure compliance.
•We gained an understanding of the controls that the Directors have in place to prevent and detect fraud. We enquired of the Directors about any incidences of fraud that had taken place during the accounting period.
•The risk of fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations and fraud was discussed within the audit team and tests were planned and performed to address these risks. We identified the potential for fraud in the following areas: revenue recognition and management override of controls.
•We reviewed financial statements disclosures and tested to supporting documentation to assess compliance with relevant laws and regulations discussed above.
•We enquired of the Directors about actual and potential litigation and claims.
•We performed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships that might indicate risks of material misstatement due to fraud.
•In addressing the risk of fraud due to management override of internal controls we tested the approprriateness of journal entries and assessed whether the judgements made in making accounting estimates were indicative of a potential bias.
Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not detect all irregularities, including those leading to a material misstatement in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk increases the more that compliance with a law or regulation is removed from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, as we will be less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due to fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment, forgery, collusion, omission or misrepresentation.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at: www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our Auditor's Report.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
Asite Limited (the "Company") is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in the UK. The address of its registered office is 7th Floor Leconfield House, Curzon Street, London, England, W1J 5JA. The registered number of the Company is 02004015.
The principal activity of the Company is that of a holding company. The principal activity of the Group is to provide a Software as a Service (SaaS) digital engineering platform to integrate supply chains for capital projects, infrastructure developments, and asset management. The accounting policies set out below have, unless otherwise stated, been applied consistently in these financial statements.
2.Accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgement in applying the Group's accounting policies (see note 3).
The Company has taken advantage of the exemption allowed under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and has not presented its own Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
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 Statement of Financial Position, 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 Statement of Comprehensive Income 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 July 2022.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the directors have considered the Group's and Company's financial position, current trading performance, available financing facilities and detailed cash flow forecasts covering a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. The forecasts have been prepared using management's latest expectations of trading performance and include assumptions regarding revenue growth, customer retention, operating costs and working capital requirements. For the year ended 30 June 2025, the Group generated a profit after taxation of £6.0 million (2024: loss of £2.9 million), reported operating profit of £3.1 million (2024: operating loss of £2.4 million), and generated cash from operating activities of £8.7 million (2024: cash outflow of £0.5 million). At 30 June 2025, the Group had net assets of £10.0 million (2024: £4.3 million) and cash balances of £2.5 million (2024: £0.9 million). The Company had net assets of £5.6 million (2024: £9.9 million). During the year, the Group repaid the Ashgrove funding facility and replaced it with a £3.5 million loan facility provided by R20 Advisory Limited. At 30 June 2025, £2.2 million of this facility was repayable within one year. Following the year end, the directors have continued to monitor liquidity, covenant compliance and financing arrangements and have considered the repayment profile of the Group's borrowings in preparing their forecasts. The directors have performed downside sensitivity analyses against the base case forecast. Under these scenarios, the Group continues to maintain adequate liquidity and sufficient headroom to meet its obligations as they fall due throughout the assessment period. The Group operates a predominantly recurring revenue Software-as-a-Service business model, with a significant proportion of revenues arising from long-term customer relationships and contracted recurring subscriptions. The directors believe this provides a strong degree of visibility over future revenues and cash flows. Having reviewed the forecasts, available cash resources, financing arrangements and the results of the sensitivity analysis, the directors have concluded that the Group and Company have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

Functional and presentation currency
Transactions and balances
The Group typically enters into multi-element arrangements which include software licence fees, consultancy and training services. Revenue is allocated to the elements of the arrangement based upon the fair value of each element. The Group sells a licence for access to its products which are hosted from the Group’s dedicated servers. The license fees grant access to web space for the duration of the customer’s project and include maintenance and support. The revenue for the licence is recognised on an accruals basis to match the period of use by the customer until the end of the contract. The unrecognised element is included within deferred income and the amount recognised prior to billing is included within accrued income. Training revenue relates to customer training to use the product. Consultancy revenue relates to the initial tailoring of the product to match the needs of the project and on-going consultancy work provided to the customer post implementation. Revenue is recognised on the consulting and training fees based on fixed daily rates as the service is provided. The fixed daily rates are predetermined at the contract signing date.

Goodwill
Other intangible assets
At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

The estimated useful lives range as follows:
At each reporting date the Group assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
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.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
An entity is treated as a joint venture where the Group is a party to a contractual agreement with one or more parties from outside the Group to undertake an economic activity that is subject to joint control.
An entity is treated as an associated undertaking where the Group exercises significant influence in that it has the power to participate in the operating and financial policy decisions. In the consolidated accounts, interests in associated undertakings are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Under this method an equity investment is initially recognised at the transaction price (including transaction costs) and is subsequently adjusted to reflect the investors share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income and equity of the associate. The Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income includes the Group's share of the operating results, interest, pre-tax results and attributable taxation of such undertakings applying accounting policies consistent with those of the Group. In the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the interests in associated undertakings are shown as the Group's share of the identifiable net assets, including any unamortised premium paid on acquisition. Any premium on acquisition is dealt with in accordance with the goodwill policy. Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.

The Group has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.
The Group has elected to apply the recognition and measurement provisions of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments (as adopted by the UK Endorsement Board) with the disclosure requirements of Sections 11 and 12 and the other presentation requirements of FRS 102.
Financial instruments are recognised in the Group's Statement of Financial Position when the Group becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.
Basic financial assets
Basic financial assets, which include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusted for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial assets that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss) and are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for impairment, 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.
Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial. The Group's cash and cash equivalents, trade and most other debtors due with the operating cycle fall into this category of financial instruments.
Other financial assets
Other financial assets, which includes investments in equity instruments which are not classified as subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the recognised transaction price. Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value with the changes in fair value being recognised in the profit or loss. Where other financial assets are not publicly traded, hence their fair value cannot be measured reliably, they are measured at cost less impairment.
Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period financial assets measured at amortised cost are assessed for objective evidence of impairment. If an asset is impaired the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial assets are impaired when events, subsequent to their initial recognition, indicate the estimated future cash flows derived from the financial asset(s) have been adversely impacted. The impairment loss will be the difference between the current carrying amount and the present value of the future cash flows at the asset(s) original effective interest rate.
If there is a favourable change in relation to the events surrounding the impairment loss then the

impairment can be reviewed for possible reversal. The reversal will not cause the current carrying amount to exceed the original carrying amount had the impairment not been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the profit or loss.
Basic financial liabilities
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Group after the deduction of all its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other creditors, bank loans, other loans and loans due to fellow group companies are initially measured at their transaction price (adjusting for transaction costs except in the initial measurement of financial liabilities that are subsequently measured at fair value through profit and loss). When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest, discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade creditors are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
Other financial instruments
Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, futures contracts and interest rate swaps, are not classified as basic financial instruments. These are initially recognised at fair value on the date the derivative contract is entered into, with costs being charged to the profit or loss. They are subsequently measured at fair value with changes in the profit or loss.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions as set out in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through the profit or loss. This recognition and measurement would also apply to financial instruments where the performance is evaluated on a fair value basis as with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Derecognition of financial instruments
Derecognition of financial assets
Financial assets are derecognised when their contractual right to future cash flow expire, or are settled, or when the Group transfers the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another party. If significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained after the transfer to another party, then the Group will continue to recognise the value of the portion of the risks and rewards retained.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the Group's contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2025
The Directors consider the key accounting estimates to be valuation and capitalisation of development costs, residual values of intangible fixed assets and provision for trade debtors. At the start of an internally developed project management assess if it will generate probable future economic benefits and meet the criteria for the costs to be capitalised. Once management conclude it meets the criteria they then use their judgement to assess the allocation of costs that specifically relate to the project. The residual values of intangible fixed assets are reviewed on an ongoing basis by the directors. Provisions for trade debtors are reviewed by the Directors on an ongoing basis who use their specific industry knowledge and experience to ensure the correct judgements. Capitalisation of development costs relating to the OpenWage Technology Management has exercised significant judgement in determining whether expenditure incurred in relation to the development of the OpenWage Technology meets the recognition criteria for an internally generated intangible asset under Section 18 of FRS 102. The key judgement relates to identifying the point at which the project moved from the research phase to the development phase and whether the criteria for capitalisation were satisfied. In making this assessment, management considered the technical feasibility of completing the technology, its intention and ability to complete and commercialise the product, the existence of probable future economic benefits, the availability of adequate technical and financial resources to complete development, and the ability to reliably measure costs directly attributable to the project. Based on this assessment, management concluded that the OpenWage Technology met the development-phase recognition criteria from the date beneficial ownership transferred to the Company and that qualifying development expenditure should be capitalised as an intangible asset. Management undertook a detailed review of approximately £2.4 million of expenditure incurred in relation to the technology and determined that £1.6 million represented directly attributable development costs that met the requirements for capitalisation. The remaining expenditure, primarily comprising sales and marketing costs and general overheads, did not qualify for recognition as part of the cost of the intangible asset and was expensed as incurred.

3.Judgements in applying accounting policies (continued)
In addition, judgement was required in assessing whether any indicators of impairment existed at the reporting date. While development activities were temporarily paused during the year, management concluded that the recoverable amount of the asset exceeded its carrying value based on forecast future cash flows from the technology and therefore no impairment provision was required. As the technology was not yet available for use at the reporting date, no amortisation has been recognised. The carrying value of the capitalised development asset at 30 June 2025 was £1.6 million. Changes to the assumptions underpinning the assessment of capitalisation criteria, future commercial viability, forecast cash flows or impairment could result in a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the intangible asset in future periods. Recoverability of deferred tax asset The Group/Company recognises deferred tax assets in respect of tax losses and other deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is considered probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the assets can be utilised. The assessment of recoverability requires significant management judgement and estimation regarding the timing and level of future taxable profits, the reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and the availability of tax planning opportunities. These forecasts are based on approved business plans and budgets, which incorporate assumptions relating to future revenue growth, profitability, market conditions and taxation legislation.

The Group operates a defined contributions pension scheme. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. The pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Group to the fund and amounted to £400,043 (2024: £414,160). Contributions totalling £79,299 (2024: £29,198) were payable to the fund at the reporting date and are included in creditors.

Subsequent to the reporting date, the outstanding balance due from R20 Advisory Limited of £2.2 million was repaid in full.
On 23 June 2025, the Group entered into a new £5.0 million revolving credit facility with Barclays Bank PLC, which began drawing down in July 2025. The facility replaces the Group's previous financing arrangements and provides additional financial flexibility to support ongoing operations and future growth. On 3 November 2025, the Group incorporated Asite Secure Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary. The company has remained dormant since incorporation and has not undertaken any trading activity.

During the year, the directors identified an error in the accounting treatment applied to expenditure incurred in relation to the development of the OpenWage Technology. Historically, such expenditure had been recognised within amounts owed by group undertakings/other debtors on the basis that the costs were being funded on behalf of OpenWage Limited. Following a review of the underlying arrangements and beneficial ownership of the related intellectual property, management concluded that the Company controlled the underlying technology and that qualifying development expenditure should instead have been recognised as an internally generated intangible asset in accordance with FRS 102 Section 18. The previous treatment therefore represented a material prior period error.
The error has been corrected by retrospectively restating the comparative information. Expenditure of £1.624m incurred up to 1 July 2023 that met the criteria for capitalisation has been recognised as an intangible asset. The remaining £0.712m of expenditure incurred up to that date did not meet the conditions for capitalisation and has been recognised through retained earnings. An additional £0.086m of expenditure incurred during the year ended 30 June 2024 has been recognised as an operating expense. No amortisation has been recognised in respect of the capitalised development costs because the OpenWage Technology was not available for use as at 30 June 2025. Management has also assessed the asset for indicators of impairment and concluded that no impairment charge is required.
