2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.
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 (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
|
Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements
|
The company is a parent company that is also a subsidiary included in the consolidated financial statements of a larger group by a parent undertaking established under the law of any part of the United Kingdom and is therefore exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements under section 400 of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis which assumes that the
company will continue in operational existence for a period of at least 12 months following the
approval of these financial statements.
The directors are confident the market for the company's services will grow over the next 12 months.
Growth is expected to arise from increasing demand from organisations seeking to strengthen their cyber and information security.
The directors have prepared detailed forecasts for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and believe the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The company is reliant on the continued financial support of its ultimate parent undertaking, which has indicated its intention to provide such support, via a letter of support, for a period of at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements. Accordingly, the directors are satisfied that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the turnover can be reliably measured. 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 turnover is recognised:
Rendering of services
Turnover 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 turnover can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the company 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.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.

FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 31 MARCH 2026
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet when the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Trade and other debtors and creditors are classified as basic financial instruments and measured at initial recognition at transaction price. Debtors and creditors are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. A provision is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due.
Cash and cash equivalents are classified as basic financial instruments and comprise cash in hand and at bank and bank overdrafts.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments issued by the company are classified in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
|
|
|
Operating leases: the company as lessee
|
Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to the profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Defined contribution pension plan
The company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.
|
|
Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
Preparation of the financial statements can require management to make judgements and estimates and the following are considered to be key sources of estimation uncertainty for the company:
Investment in the subsidiary
The company holds an investment in a subsidiary undertaking which is carried at cost less impairment. The assessment of recoverability requires the directors to estimate the future financial performance of the subsidiaries, which will contain some level of estimation uncertainty.
Deferred income estimation
The completeness of deferred income relates to estimating the portion of revenue invoiced in advance for recurring services that has not yet been earned at the reporting date. Invoices can be raised to customers ahead of the service delivery period and therefore judgement is required to ensure that income is recognised in line with the period over which services are provided.
