Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The Company recorded a loss after tax of £16.8 (2023 - £21.8m) and has net liabilities of £2.4m (net assets in 2023: £14.3m) at the balance sheet date. The company's parent undertaking, Ensono Inc. has provided confirmation that it will provide financial support to the company, if required, for a period of twelve months from the date of approval of the accounts, which is the going concern period as defined by the directors. In assessing the ability of the directors to rely on this support they have considered the future cash flows, growth rates and the level of committed facilities available at the group level to support liquidity. Taking into account the support from Ensono Inc., the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the going concern period. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements.”

Significant events
- “In June 2023 the Company did not renew its lease on its Lennox Wood data centre, consolidating the Company's data centre footprint and improving its energy efficiency.”
- “The Directors of the Company and the senior management of the Ensono group approved a restructuring to simplify the organisational structure. This resulted in a change in ownership whereby the Company is now a direct subsidiary of Ensono OpCo Holdings Ltd. after the elimination of Amphora Acquisitions.”
- “In 2024, the Company entered a consultation process with employees and reduced the number of roles within the company. The consultation was concluded during the year at a cost of £210,000 affecting a total of 9 employees. The intention is to improve profitability in the future by having employee volumes and technical skills which are aligned to the revenue generated by the Company. The change will result in a reduction in staff costs of approximately £812,000 per annum.”
