The directors present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The results for the year are set out on page 6.
No ordinary dividends were paid. The directors do not recommend payment of a final dividend.
The directors who held office during the year and up to the date of signature of the financial statements were as follows:
The auditor, Azets Audit Services Limited, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
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;
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and
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.
We have audited the financial statements of eClinicalHealth Ltd (the 'company') for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the profit and loss account, the statement of comprehensive income, 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).
Basis for opinion
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to note 1.2 in the financial statements, which indicates the director's consideration over going concern. The company is reliant upon financial support from its parent company and there is uncertainty regarding whether the parent company has sufficient financial resources to provide support as required. As stated in note 1.2, these conditions, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Other information
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 directors' report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
the directors' report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
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.
In identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities, including fraud, the audit engagement team:
obtained an understanding of the nature of the industry and sector, including the legal and regulatory framework that the company operates in and how the company are complying with the legal and regulatory framework;
inquired of management, and those charged with governance, about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, including any known actual, suspected or alleged instances of fraud;
discussed matters about non-compliance with laws and regulations and how fraud might occur including assessment of how and where the financial statements may be susceptible to fraud.
However, it is the primary responsibility of management, with the oversight of those charged with governance, to ensure that the entity's operations are conducted in accordance with the provisions of laws and regulations and for the prevention and detection of fraud.
Use of our report
This report is made solely to the company's member 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 member those matters we are required to state to the member 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 member, 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.
eClinicalHealth Ltd is a private company limited by shares incorporated in Scotland. The registered office is 48 St Vincent Street, Glasgow, G2 5HS.
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 £.
This 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 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: Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;
Section 26 ‘Share based Payment’: Share-based payment expense charged to profit or loss, reconciliation of opening and closing number and weighted average exercise price of share options, how the fair value of options granted was measured, measurement and carrying amount of liabilities for cash-settled share-based payments, explanation of modifications to arrangements;
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’: Compensation for key management personnel.
The financial statements of the company are consolidated in the financial statements of Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc. These consolidated financial statements are available from its registered office, Tunbridge Court Tunbridge Lane, Bottisham, Cambridge, CB25 9TU.
The Directors have conducted an assessment of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of the approval of the financial statements. This relies upon the going concern assessment performed by the wider Cambridge Cognition group, as headed by the Company’s parent company Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc (‘the Group’). The going concern assessment performed by Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc and its directors (‘the Group Directors’) was published in the Group’s 2026 Interim Report, which was prepared on the going concern basis but with material uncertainties identified consistent with the below.
To support their assessment, the Group Directors prepared various working capital models covering from the signing of the interim financial statements through to December 2027 (the ‘Review Period’). These working capital models were based upon the most recent Board-approved forecasts and represent the Group’s Directors’ current best expectations for future performance, considering the Group’s liquidity and ability to generate cash from future trading.
At 30 June 2026, the Group had a net cash position of £0.4 million, including £0.6 million of cash offset by £0.2 million owed under the Group’s term loan. The term loan was repaid post-period and, consequently, at the signing of the interim financial statements the Group held no external debt. The Group completed an equity fundraise in July 2026, raising net proceeds of £2.3 million.
The Group invoices a significant portion of a sales order at the point of signature. As a result, future cash generation is heavily dependent upon both the value and timing of future deals, and the forecast of sales orders is considered by the Group Directors to be the most influential metric in driving future business performance. Consequently, the main sensitivity applied with the Group Directors’ working capital modelling is a reduction to forecast sales orders.
The specific scenarios modelled are:
Scenario |
| Outcome |
Base case Based upon the Group’s most recent Board approved forecasts. Under this scenario, the Group achieves market expectations.
|
|
The Group maintains a positive cash balance throughout the Review Period. The Group is able to meet all forecasted obligations as they fall due. |
Downside case A severe but plausible downside scenario, which assumes:
|
|
The Group maintains a positive cash balance throughout the Review Period. The Group is able to meet all forecasted obligations as they fall due.
|
Reverse stress case A scenario modelled to determine the minimum value of sales orders required for the Group to maintain a positive cash balance over the Review Period. This includes the assumptions outlined in the Downside case. |
|
A reduction in sales orders from the base case resulted in the Group’s cash balance reducing to nil in Q4 2027. In this scenario, the Group delivers 2026 sales orders of £12.4 million and 2027 sales orders of £11.8 million, being 97% and 92% of 2025 selling respectively.
|
Given the Group’s base and downside cases maintain positive cash balances throughout the Review Period, the interim financial statements were prepared on the going concern basis of accounting.
The Company has received a letter of support from its parent company, Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc. This indicates that the Company will receive financial and other support necessary for the Company to trade and meet its liabilities as and when they become due for a period up to at least 31 December 2027. As a result, the Company financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis of accounting.
The Group Directors have considered the likelihood of a downside of the severity of the reverse stress case. H1 2026 sales orders were £6.0 million, being 87% of H1 2025 sales orders. This performance is below the reverse stress case, albeit impacted by a £1.0m contract slipping into early H2 2026. Had this deal closed in H1 2026, performance would have been above H1 2025 and the reverse stress case. The Group has a strong sales pipeline, which gives the Group Directors confidence that there is sufficient potential future business to deliver sales orders in excess of the reverse stress case.
Should a downside scenario occur, such as a shortfall in the amount or timing of new sales orders against expectations, the Board has identified several potential mitigating actions that could be taken which have not been modelled. These include deferral or reduction of salary increases, deferral or slowing of investment programmes, and a reduction in discretionary expenditure. In a sufficiently severe downside scenario, the Group may also need to seek additional sources of financing. The Group has raised capital on multiple occasions from its shareholders over recent years to support working capital and pursue growth. Based on historical performance and investor relations activities, the Board believes that, should such a measure be necessary, then sufficient funds would be available.
As a consequence of the requirement to generate cash from new sales orders, and the potential for the need for cost saving measures or fundraising, this represents a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt upon the Group's ability to continue as a going concern.
These financial statements do not include the adjustments that would be required if the Company was unable to continue as a going concern.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.
Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.
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 company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate 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.
Derivatives, including interest rate swaps and forward foreign exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in profit or loss in finance costs or finance income as appropriate, unless hedge accounting is applied and the hedge is a cash flow hedge.
Debt instruments that do not meet the conditions in FRS 102 paragraph 11.9 are subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. Debt instruments may be designated as being measured at fair value through profit or loss to eliminate or reduce an accounting mismatch or if the instruments are measured and their performance evaluated on a fair value basis in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the company’s contractual obligations expire or are discharged or cancelled.
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.
When the terms and conditions of equity-settled share-based payments at the time they were granted are subsequently modified, the fair value of the share-based payment under the original terms and conditions and under the modified terms and conditions are both determined at the date of the modification. Any excess of the modified fair value over the original fair value is recognised over the remaining vesting period in addition to the grant date fair value of the original share-based payment. The share-based payment expense is not adjusted if the modified fair value is less than the original fair value.
Cancellations or settlements (including those resulting from employee redundancies) are treated as an acceleration of vesting and the amount that would have been recognised over the remaining vesting period is recognised immediately.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are 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 average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:
Their aggregate remuneration comprised:
Sums paid to third parties for directors' services £nil (2024 - £19,322). No other amounts were paid to directors.
The actual charge for the year can be reconciled to the expected credit for the year based on the profit or loss and the standard rate of tax as follows:
The prior year tax adjustment of £72,853 arises from the reversal of an expected R&D tax credit recognised in the previous year which is no longer considered recoverable.
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.
No options were exercised during the current year or prior period.
During the year, 4,961 share options were forfeited following the cessation of employment of option holders. No share options were granted or exercised during the year.
On 15 December 2023, certain employees of the Company were granted equity-settled share options under the Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc Long Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP 2022"). The options vest over a period of two years and six months from the grant date and are exercisable at an exercise price of £0.01 per share. The options lapse ten years after the grant date.
On 28 June 2024, certain employees of the Company were granted a further tranche of equity-settled share options under the LTIP 2022. The options vest over a period of three years from the grant date and are exercisable at an exercise price of £0.01 per share. The options lapse ten years after the grant date.
The fair value of the options was determined at the respective grant dates using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The valuation incorporated assumptions regarding expected volatility, expected option life, risk-free interest rates and expected dividend yield. The model was adjusted, where appropriate, to reflect restrictions on transferability and other characteristics of the awards. Non-market vesting conditions are not reflected in the grant-date fair value of the options but are taken into account when estimating the number of awards expected to vest.
The Company recognised a share-based payment expense of £19,703 (2024: £nil) in respect of these arrangements during the year.
Up to 25 October 2022, the company had in issue 39,983 redeemable preferred shares ("preferred AB shares") of £1 each, classified as equity. These shares carried 1 vote per share.
Up to 25 October 2022, the company also had in issue 51,854 redeemable preferred shares ("preferred C shares") of £1 each, classified as equity. These shares carried 1 vote per share.
On 25 October 2022 a resolution was passed to redesignate 39,983 preferred AB shares of £1 to 39,983 Ordinary shares of £1. On the same date, 51,854 preferred C shares of £1 were redesignated to 51,854 Ordinary shares of £1.
The company has taken the exemption afforded by FRS 102 not to disclose transactions with entities within the Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc group.
During the year the company entered into the following transactions with other related parties:
The company purchased £nil (2024: £19,322) of goods and services from companies under which a director had an interest. At the year end the company owed £nil (2024: £nil) to these companies.
The smallest and largest group of companies for which the Group accounts are drawn up and of which the company is included is Cambridge Cognition Holdings plc.
