Strategic Report |
for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025 |
The directors present their strategic report for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025. |
REVIEW OF BUSINESS |
The principal activity of the Company during the period was to provide support services to its parent company, Abnormal AI, Inc., in relation to sales and marketing, as well as research and development activities. Abnormal AI, Inc. offers an AI-native security platform, leveraging behavioural machine learning to stop sophisticated inbound attacks and detect compromised accounts across email and connected applications. |
This report covers an extended 17-month period from 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025, reflecting a change in the Company's accounting reference date from 31 August to 31 January, to align with the financial year of its ultimate parent, Abnormal AI, Inc. |
During the period, turnover increased to $18,281,174 (13-month period ended 31 August 2023, as restated: $7,237,270), and profit before taxation increased to $780,859 (2023 as restated: $272,301), driven by the continued growth of Abnormal AI, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, the "Group") and a corresponding increase in recharged costs and services. Average employee numbers grew to 61 (2023: 28) over the same period. |
PRINCIPAL RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES |
The Company's principal activity is the provision of inter-company support services to its parent company, Abnormal AI, Inc., and it is therefore inherently reliant on the continued support of the parent for its ongoing operations and liquidity. The principal risk facing the Company is a reduction or withdrawal of this support; this risk is mitigated by the pledged support of the parent company, as set out in the going concern section of the Report of the Directors. |
FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES |
The Company's principal financial assets and liabilities relate to fellow Group undertakings, cash, and trade and other creditors. Given the nature of these balances, the Company's exposure to financial risk is limited and closely tied to the wider Group's financial position. |
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS (KPI) |
The Company's parent manages the Group's operations on a consolidated basis using key performance indicators. Selected key performance indicators for the Company are set out below: |
Period ended 31 January 2025 (17 months) | Period ended 31 August 2023 (13 months, as restated) |
Turnover | $18,281,174 | $7,237,270 |
Profit before taxation | $780,859 | $272,301 |
Average number of employees | 61 | 28 |

Strategic Report |
for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025 |
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS AND PERFORMANCE |
The directors expect the Company to continue supporting the growth of Abnormal AI, Inc. through its sales, marketing and research and development support services, and anticipate that turnover will continue to grow in line with the Group's overall growth strategy. The directors are not expecting to make any significant changes to the nature of the business in the near future. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
ABNORMAL AI UK LTD (Registered number: 14267925) |
Report of the Directors |
for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025 |
The directors present their report with the financial statements of the company for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025. |
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITY |
| The principal activity of the Company in the period under review was to provide support services to the parent company, Abnormal AI, Inc., in relation to sales and marketing, as well as research and development activities. Abnormal AI, Inc. offers an AI-native security platform, leveraging behavioural machine learning to stop sophisticated inbound attacks and detect compromised accounts across email and connected applications. |
DIVIDENDS |
No dividends will be distributed for the period ended 31 January 2025. |
DIRECTORS |
Other changes in directors holding office are as follows: |
QUALIFYING THIRD PARTY INDEMNITY PROVISIONS |
The Group has indemnified by means of directors' and officers' liability insurance, one or more directors of the Company against liability in respect of proceedings brought by third parties, subject to the conditions set out in the Companies Act 2006. Such qualifying third-party indemnity provision was in force as at the date of approving the report. No director had an interest in the issued share capital of the Company at any point during the current or prior year. |
ABNORMAL AI UK LTD (Registered number: 14267925) |
Report of the Directors |
for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025 |
GOING CONCERN |
The Company reported a profit after tax for the period of $468,666 (2023 profit: $197,780). As at the balance sheet date, the Company had net assets of $666,447 (2023 net assets: $197,781). |
The Company is structured to be profit-making, on an annual basis, by way of the support services agreement in place with its parent company, Abnormal AI, Inc, and are therefore inherently reliant on the support of the wider Group. After making enquiries, based on support pledged by the parent company, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet its liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future for a minimum of twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. The Directors acknowledge 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 Directors are 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 the financial statements and therefore, have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS |
Richlands Business Advisers Limited, has been appointed as the Company's auditor in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006. |
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES |
| The directors are responsible for preparing the 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 of the profit or loss of the Company 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 transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the Company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. |
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 Company'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 Company's auditors are aware of that information. |

Report of the Directors |
for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025 |
AUDITORS |
The auditors, Richlands Business Advisers Limited, will be proposed for re-appointment at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting. |
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD: |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
ABNORMAL AI UK LTD |
Opinion |
| We have audited the financial statements of ABNORMAL AI UK LTD (the 'company') for the period ended 31 January 2025 which comprise the Income Statement, Other Comprehensive Income, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity, Cash Flow Statement and Notes to the Cash Flow Statement, 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 company's affairs as at 31 January 2025 and of its profit for the period 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 company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC's Ethical Standard, 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 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 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. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
ABNORMAL AI UK LTD |
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
- | the information given in the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
- | the Strategic Report and the Report of the Directors have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception |
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the 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, or returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
- | the 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 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 company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. |
Report of the Independent Auditors to the Members of |
ABNORMAL AI UK LTD |
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. |
We gained an understanding of the legal and regulatory framework applicable to the company and considered the risk of acts by the company which were contrary to applicable laws and regulations, including fraud. These laws and regulations included but were not limited to compliance with the Companies Act 2006 and UK accounting standards. |
We considered compliance with laws and regulations that could give rise to a material misstatement in the company's financial statements. Our tests included, but were not limited to:- agreement of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation; |
- enquiries of management; |
- testing of journal postings made during the year to identify potential management override of controls; |
and |
- review of meeting minutes throughout the period. |
We communicated relevant identified laws and regulations and potential fraud risks to all engagement team members and discussed how and where these might occur and remained alert to any indications of fraud or non-compliance with laws and regulations throughout the audit. |
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of material misstatement in the financial statements, recognising that 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, misrepresentations or through collusion. There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures performed and the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we are to become aware of it. |
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 |
ABNORMAL AI UK 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 Financial Statements |
for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025 |
1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
Abnormal AI UK Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The Company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Basis of preparing the financial statements |
The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in compliance with United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102, 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland' ('FRS 102') 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 management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies. |
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis under the historical cost convention. |
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. |
Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty |
| Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. |
| In preparing these financial statements the directors have made the following judgements: |
| - Determining whether transactions with other entities of the wider Group have been conducted on an arms' length basis. These decisions involve the input of internal and external tax advisors to the wider Group, including analysis of comparable companies and groups who operate in similar markets. |
| - The Company has intercompany receivables for which the expectation is that all will be fully received without discount. In assessing the recoverability of amounts owed to the Company by fellow Group undertakings, management has considered the anticipated cash flow within the wider Group and the support from the ultimate parent company and has deemed these balances recoverable. |
| The Company does not have any key areas of estimation uncertainty. |
Turnover |
Turnover comprises the fair value of the consideration receivable for the sale of services, under service agreements with Group companies, at cost plus a profit mark up. |
Turnover is recognised when the Company incurs a liability in relation to an expense on which revenue is determined. Turnover is shown net of value-added tax. |

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Financial instruments |
| The Company has chosen to adopt Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments. |
| (i) Financial assets |
| Basic financial assets, including amounts owed to group undertakings and cash and cash equivalents are initially recognised at transaction price. |
| Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| 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 the statement of comprehensive income. |
| If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. |
| Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions. |
| (ii) Financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including trade and other creditors and amounts due group undertakings, are initially recognised at their fair value which is usually their transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction. Financing transactions are recognised at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| The measurement of financial liabilities at each reporting date is at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expired. Gains or losses arising on the repurchase, settlement or otherwise cancellation of liabilities are recognised respectively in interest receivables and similar income and interest payable and similar charges. |
| (iii) Offsetting |

Notes to the Financial Statements - continued |
for the period 1 September 2023 to 31 January 2025 |
2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amounts presented in the financial statements 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 to the liability simultaneously. |
Taxation |
| Taxation for the period comprises current and deferred tax recognised in the reporting period. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity. There are no items of tax recognised within equity for the current financial period. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is the amount of tax payable in respect of taxable profit for the year or prior years. Tax is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the period end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
Research and development |
| In the research phase of an internal project, it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. |
| The Company has elected to expense in accordance all research and development costs as a component of administrative expenses under the option available under FRS102 as it is not practicable to determine when the costs represent development costs. |
| Research and development costs are recharged to the Company's parent, Abnormal AI, Inc., with a 5% mark up. |

Foreign currencies |
| i. Functional and presentation currency |
| The Company's functional and presentational currency is the US Dollar. |
| ii. Transactions and balances |
| Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the rate of exchange ruling on the date of the transaction. |
| Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at rates prevailing at the reporting date. 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. |
| Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of translations and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income within administrative expenses. |
Hire purchase and leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Going concern |
The Company reported a profit after tax for the period of $468,666 (2023 profit: $197,780). As at the balance sheet date, the Company had net assets of $666,447 (2023 net assets: $197,781). |
The Company is structured to be profit-making, on an annual basis, by way of the support services agreement in place with its parent company, Abnormal AI, Inc, and are therefore inherently reliant on the support of the wider Group. After making enquiries, based on support pledged by the parent company, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence and meet their liabilities as they fall due for the foreseeable future for a minimum of twelve months from the date of the approval of these financial statements.

Consequently, the Directors are 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 the financial statements and, therefore, have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. |

7. | PRIOR YEAR ADJUSTMENT |
| During the period, the directors identified that the audit fee relating to the prior financial year had not been accrued or disclosed in the financial statements for that year. |
| The directors also identified that commissions payable of $177,467 relating to the prior period, had not been accrued. Because the Company recharges all its costs to its parent company at cost plus a 5% markup, this omission also caused the corresponding recharge income of $186,340 to be omitted from the prior period. |
| These omissions understated administrative expenses (audit fees), commissions payable, accruals, and recharge income in the prior period. |
| In accordance with FRS 102 Section 10, - Accounting Policies, Estimates and Errors, the comparative figures have been restated to correct them. |
| Impact of the prior year adjustment: |
| o Increase in administrative expenses (audit fees): $75,000 |
| o Increase in commissions payable: $177,467 |
| o Increase in accruals: $252,467 |
| o Increase in income (cost plus recharge): $186,340 |
| o Net decrease in prior year profit: $66,127 |
| The adjustment affects only the comparative period and the opening balances of the current period. It has no impact on the current period profit, cash flows, or net assets. |
