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 Balance Sheet, the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities are initially recognised at their fair values at the acquisition date. The results of acquired operations are included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income from the date on which control is obtained. They are deconsolidated from the date control ceases.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenues in respect of third party hardware installations are recognised at the point at which the hardware is delivered and installed.

2.Accounting policies (continued)
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Group keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme). Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period. Where equity instruments are granted to persons other than employees, profit or loss is charged with fair value of goods and services received.

Goodwill
Other intangible assets
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:

2.Accounting policies (continued)
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.
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessees. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised as assets at the lower of the asset's fair value at the date of inception and the present value of the minimum lease payments. The related liability is included in the balance sheet as a finance lease obligation. Lease payments are treated as consisting of capital and interest elements. The interest is charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

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 on 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, short-term bank deposits with an original maturity of three months or less and bank overdrafts which are an integral part of the Company’s cash management. 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.
Amounts arising from a business combination accounted for as a merger in accordance with UK GAAP are recognised in the merger reserve. Subsequently, the amortisation of the associated goodwill is released against the merger reserve.
In a previous period, the UBDS IT Consulting Limited Employee Benefit Trust (EBT) was set up. The Trustees of the EBT are independent from the Company and those charged with management, therefore the EBT is not considered to be under the control of the Company. The assets and liabilities of the EBT are therefore not recognised within the financial statements of the Company. During the year ended 30 November 2025, the Company has made payments to the EBT totalling £1,000 (2024 - £Nil) which are shown as distributions from reserves within the Statement of Changes in Equity.

Accrued income As described in the accounting policy for revenue, the directors assess the stage of completion on fixed fee contracts at the reporting date. Revenues are then recognised based on the cost incurred to date against the estimate of expected total cost to complete. Useful life of goodwill & other intangible assets The principal balances relate to the acquisition of UBDS IT Consulting Limited on 29 November 2021, but also incorporates the acquisitions made in 2024 (UBDS CRCC Limited, Rayo Cloud Limited, Datym Limited, Soteria Cyber Limited, 3B Data Security Limited and UBDS Bidco Limited). Goodwill is being amortised over a ten year period (note 13). The Group continually monitors this policy and the performance of the assets acquired including ongoing trading performance, and will amend the estimate of the useful life should it be required.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 NOVEMBER 2025
During 2022, UBDS IT Consulting Limited Employee Benefit Trust ("EBT"), a company under common ownership, granted options to various employees. The options were only exercisable on the occurrence of specific events and, at the date of grant, the directors considered the likelihood of these events occurring in the foreseeable future to be remote.
Following the post year-end acquisition of the Group by Relevare Bidco Limited on 19 June 2026, the conditions required for exercise of the options were satisfied and option holders became entitled to consideration under the transaction. The total value of consideration attributable to option holders arising from the acquisition was £5,283,558. This consideration comprised:
∙Cash consideration of £4,992,774;
∙Securities, loan notes or rollover interests of £290,784; and
∙Contingent amounts outstanding at the date of approval of the financial statements of £18,836.
The transaction resulted in 6 option holders becoming entitled to consideration in respect of 6,349 options. The fair value of the equity-settled share options at the grant date was assessed to be negligible. As equity-settled share-based awards are not subsequently remeasured, no material share-based payment charge has been recognised in respect of these options.
The Group operates a defined contribution 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 £481,696 (2024 - £385,453). Contributions totalling £109,007 (2024 - £86,850) were payable to the fund at the reporting date.

The transaction also resulted in certain option holders becoming entitled to consideration under the Group's share option arrangements. As the transaction occurred after the reporting date, this has been treated as a non adjusting post balance sheet event. Further details of the share-based payment arrangements and related consideration are disclosed in Note 21. Furthermore, subsequent to the year end, the Group acquired the remaining 20% equity interest in 3B Data Security Ltd, increasing its ownership from 80% to 100%. As a result, 3B Data Security Ltd became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Group.
