- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have considered the future profitability of the Company and its ability to continue as a going concern and have prepared profit forecasts for at least 12 months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. Based on these projections the directors are satisfied that, for the foreseeable future, the Company can meet its projected working capital requirements. Consequently the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “On 17 May 2025, the company acquired 100% of the ordinary share capital of Infrastar Limited, a UK-based digital transformation specialist serving defence and national security clients, for total initial consideration of £26.4 million.”
- “During the year ended 31 December 2025, the company distributed £nil non-cash dividend to Kellogg, Brown & Root Limited (year ended 31 December 2024, non-cash dividend: £26.4 million).”
- “In September 2025, KBR announced that it was planning to split into two, separately listed groups. This had no impact on the trading activity of the company in 2025.”
- “To achieve the separation of the group's businesses, the full shareholding of Harmonic Limited and VIMA Group Holdings Limited transferred from Kellogg Brown & Root Limited to Frazer-Nash Consultancy Limited on 28 May 2026. Thus becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of Frazer-Nash Consultancy Limited. As these companies are no longer trading entities, this is expected to not have a material effect on the financial statements of the company.”
