The director presents the strategic report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2026.

The business has had a strong year across all key areas, with significant growth in both revenue and profitability. Turnover increased from £34.2 million to £56.5 million, while gross profit increased from £11.5 million to £20.9 million. Net assets increased from £1.1 million to £3.9 million, representing an increase of more than three times the previous year.

Demand for our offerings and our unique, outcome-based delivery model has continued to gain significant traction across both existing and new customers. The business has continued to invest in its people, market presence, capabilities and operating model, which has supported this growth.

The significant increase in gross profit, alongside the improvement in gross margin from 34% to 37%, reflects both the scale of growth and the increasing contribution & success of our outcome based model. 

Net assets increased by 242% during the year, providing a significantly stronger balance sheet from which to support the future growth & development.

Investment in Our People

The business has continued to invest significantly in its people and organisational capability. This has included expanding the leadership team, strengthening our internal consulting and delivery functions, and increasing the size of our engineering and delivery bench to circa 1,200 associates.

These investments have increased our capacity to support customers, strengthened our ability to deliver complex programmes and provided a strong platform for continued growth. They have also improved the resilience of the business. A broader leadership team reduces reliance on individual people. A larger delivery bench allows us to absorb changes in customer demand, redeploy people across engagements and maintain continuity of service where programmes shift in scope or timing. Strengthened internal functions give us greater control over quality and delivery risk across the portfolio.

Marketing and Community

We have continued to invest heavily in marketing, community and market engagement. We ran and attended 100% more events than in the previous year, these activities have strengthened our relationships with existing customers, increased awareness of our proposition and contributed directly to a number of significant commercial wins.

New Markets and Expansion of Existing Markets

The business has experienced strong growth across our focus sectors, public sector, private sector & not for profit, alongside continued growth within the wider private sector.

We have also further developed and established our artificial intelligence offering, with significant demand for the deployment of small teams of FWD engineers embedded directly within customer organisations. This approach has linked in nicely with our GTM.

Focus on Outcomes

A key strategic development has been the continued transition away from traditional time and materials (T&M) engagements towards outcome-based engagements and milestone linked payments.

While the business has been pursuing this model for some time, market conditions have become increasingly favourable, with customers showing greater willingness to procure services based on clearly defined outcomes and value rather than simply time spent.

This model allows the business to align more closely with customer objectives, share responsibility for delivery and demonstrate greater value from our engagements.

Summary

The business has invested in the key areas required to support its long-term growth, and these investments have translated into significant increases in both revenue and profitability.

Our outcome-based model enables us to deliver greater value to customers while supporting improved commercial performance for the business. We believe this provides a strong foundation for continued growth.

Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties faced by the business are primarily external in nature.

Public Sector Policy Changes

Changes in the public sector, including changes in Government spending priorities, fiscal policy and wider Government policy, may affect the timing and level of investment in our markets.

Geopolitical uncertainty

Geopolitical uncertainty, including ongoing wars and international conflicts, continues to create challenges for corporate investment and spending. Such uncertainty affects customer confidence and investment decisions.

Spending patterns evolving

Enterprise organisations spending patterns are changing. Projects are increasingly subject to greater scrutiny around the value they are expected to deliver, are often smaller in initial scope and may be more susceptible to reduction or cancellation during periods of economic uncertainty.

Regulatory changes

Changes in the regulatory and tax environment, including the future treatment of off-payroll working and IR35, may also create challenges for the business and its operating model.

Summary

At the same time, these market conditions represent a significant opportunity. The business’s differentiated model, based on small, specialist teams delivering clearly defined outcomes, is well positioned to respond to this changing procurement environment. We believe this provides an opportunity to gain market share as larger traditional consulting organisations adapt to these changing customer requirements.

Financial risk management objectives and policies

During the year, the business reviewed and strengthened its financial arrangements to support future growth. The business moved from invoice finance to a non-asset-based finance facility.

The new facility provides additional capacity to support growth towards £100 million of revenue and is aligned with the continued transition towards milestone and outcome-based payments. 

The business has also had a re-focus and prioritisation on our own back office systems and processes. Significant progress has been made in automating processes across bids, sales, talent management, marketing, onboarding and statements of work & master service agreements. This is an ongoing concern and focus.

The business continues to maintain a stable team and robust operating processes, contributing to strong working capital management and debtor days sub 35 days.

Net assets increased significantly during the year, from £1.1 million to £3.9 million. The business intends to continue building its cash reserves to support organic growth and reduce reliance on external financial support over time.

The business intends to build on the progress made during the previous year. We are seeing a significant shift in customer appetite from T&M to outcome based which suits our model and way of working beautifully.

We intend to focus on what we do well, principally; modern data platforms, Legacy technology re-platforming and modernisation, digital platforms, Artificial intelligence, Digital and data strategy. We expect to remain focused primarily on the markets in which we currently operate, public sector, enterprise organisations and the not-for-profit sectors. 

Our mission is to deliver £100 million of value to our customers by 2028, with an ambition for this to translate into £100 million of revenue for the business.

Summary

The business enters the new financial year with strong momentum, a significantly strengthened balance sheet and an increasingly differentiated proposition in markets where demand for specialist capability and outcome-focused delivery continues to grow. We look forward to what the next year brings.

On behalf of the board

The director presents his annual report and financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2026.

The principal activity of the company continued to be that of design and implemention of technology solutions that support our clients’ business objectives. Services revolve around 4 core areas: Cloud & Platforms, Data, Business Agility Solutions and Technical Agility Solutions.

The results for the year are set out on page 11.

Ordinary dividends were paid amounting to £1,441,866 (2025: £490,400). The director does not recommend payment of a further dividend.

The director who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements was as follows:

The company did not carry out any research or development activities in the year to 30 June 2026.

The auditor, Moore Kingston Smith LLP, is deemed to be reappointed under section 487(2) of the Companies Act 2006.

The director is responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has 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 director must not approve the financial statements unless he is 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 director is required to:

• select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

• make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and

• prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business.

The director is 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. He is 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.

So far as each person who was a director at the date of approving this report is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the company’s auditor is unaware. Additionally, the directors individually have taken all the necessary steps that they ought to have taken as directors in order to make themselves aware of all relevant audit information and to establish that the company’s auditor is aware of that information.

We have audited the financial statements of eSynergy Solutions Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 30 June 2026 which comprise the Profit and Loss Account, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity and notes to the financial statements, including 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 30 June 2026 and of its profit 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 Auditor's 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 director's 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 director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The director is 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.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

• the information given in the Strategic Report and the Director's Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and

• the Strategic Report and the Director's Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

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 Director's Report.

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which 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 director's remuneration specified by law are not made; or

• we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit.

As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement, the director is 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 director determines is 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 director is 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 director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purposes of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the company to cease to continue as a going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

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.

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the company.

Our approach was as follows:

• We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory requirements applicable to the company and considered that the most significant are the Companies Act 2006, UK financial reporting standards as issued by the Financial Reporting Council, and UK taxation legislation.

• We obtained an understanding of how the company complies with these requirements by discussions with management and those charged with governance.

• We assessed the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, including the risk of material misstatement due to fraud and how it might occur, by holding discussions with management and those charged with governance.

• We inquired of management and those charged with governance as to any known instances of non-compliance or suspected non-compliance with laws and regulations.

• Based on this understanding, we designed specific appropriate audit procedures to identify instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. This included making enquiries of management and those charged with governance and obtaining additional corroborative evidence as required.

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.

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 an auditor's report 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.

The Profit and Loss Account has been prepared on the basis that all operations are continuing operations.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions relating to medium-sized companies.

eSynergy Solutions Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office and business address is 5 Lloyd's Avenue, London, EC3N 3AE.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest pound.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group. where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements, including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:

• Section 4 'Statement of Financial Position' - Reconciliation of the opening and closing number of shares;

• Section 7 'Statement of Cash Flows' - Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;

• Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instrument Issues' - Carrying amounts, interest income/expense and net gains/losses for each category of financial instrument; basis of determining fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;

• Section 33 'Related Party Disclosures' - Compensation for key management personnel and disclosure of transactions with other members of the group headed by eSynergy Holdings Limited.

Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and for a period of not less than 12 months following the approval of these financial statements. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

Turnover represents amounts receivable for services net of VAT and trade discounts.

The nature, timing of satisfaction of performance obligations and significant payment terms of the company's major sources of revenue are as follows:

Fee income represents revenue earned under a variety of contracts to provide technology consultancy services. Revenue is recognised as earned when, and to the extent that, the firm obtains the right to consideration in exchange for its performance under these contracts. It is measured at the fair value of the right to consideration, which represents amounts chargeable to clients, including expenses and disbursements but excluding value added tax.

Intangible assets acquired separately from a business are recognised at cost and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses.

Intangible assets acquired on business combinations are recognised separately from goodwill at the acquisition date where it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the fair value of the asset can be measured reliably; the intangible asset arises from contractual or other legal rights; and the intangible asset is separable from the entity.

Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

All of the company's financial assets and liabilities are basic and measured at amortised cost.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

The company operates a defined contribution scheme for the benefit of its employees. Contributions payable are charged to the profit and loss account in the year they are payable.

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 assets 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 profit or loss 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 profit or loss 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 leases asset are consumed.

Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss.

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is 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.

The annual depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment 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. See note 13 for the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment and note 1.6 for the useful economic lives for each class of asset.

The annual amortisation charge for intangible assets is sensitive to changes in the estimated lives and residual values of the assets. The useful economic lives and residual values are re-assessed annually. Goodwill impairment reviews are also performed annually. These reviews require an estimation of the value in use of the cash generating units to which goodwill has been allocated. The value in use calculation requires the entity to estimate the future cash flows expected to arise for the cash generating unit and a suitable discount rate to calculate present value. See note 12 for the carrying amount of the intangible assets and note 1.5 for the useful economic lives for each class of asset.

The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of trade debtors. When assessing impairment of trade debtors, management considers factors including the current credit rating of the debtor, the ageing profile of debtors and historical experience. See note 14 for the net carrying amount of the debtors and associated impairment provision.

An analysis of the company's turnover is as follows:

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

Their aggregate remuneration comprised:

The actual charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected charge for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:

Included within tangible fixed assets are assets held under finance leases or hire purchase contracts, as follows:

The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC has fixed and floating charges over all assets of the business. The company's invoice discount facility is also secured by personal guarantees and indemnities from PJ Crompton, a director of the company. The facilty was not in use at the year end and subsequently closed following the year end.

The company has a revolving credit facility with Lloyds Bank PLC. The facility bears interest at 1.90% above the Bank of England base rate and a maturity date of May 2030. The facilities is secured by a fixed and floating charge over the assets of the company, including a cross guarantee with the parent company, Esynergy Holdings Limited.

Finance lease payments represent repayments payable by the company for a motor vehicle. Leases include purchase options at the end of the lease period, and no restrictions are placed on the use of the assets. The lease term ceased during the year.

The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the company in an independently administered fund.

Contributions outstanding at the year end total £9 (2025: £12,295).

There is a single class of ordinary shares, there are no restrictions on distributions or repayment of capital.

At the reporting end date the company had outstanding commitments for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable operating leases, which fall due as follows:

As a wholly owned subsidiary of eSynergy Holdings Limited, the company has elected to take advantage of the exemption from the requirements of FRS 102 to disclose transactions with other members of that group.

There were no other related party transactions during the year.

The parent undertaking is eSynergy Holdings Limited, a company incorporated in England and Wales. eSynergy Holdings Limited heads the largest and smallest group for which consolidated accounts including the company's results are available. A copy of these consolidated financial statements can be obtained from Companies House. The ultimate controlling party is PJ Crompton by virtue of his majority shareholding in the parent company. The registered address of both companies is 5 Lloyd's Avenue, London, EC3N 3AE.
