- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“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 group's and parent 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. At 31 December 2024, the group had net current assets of £9,716,707, net assets of £12,564,443 and retained losses of £111,822. The Group generated a profit after tax of £2,392,719. Post year end the UK has continued to generated profits. The group also has access to support from EBNT US Holdings Inc, the immediate parent company. Therefore, the director believe that the group has access to sufficient resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. On this basis, the director consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.”

Significant events
- “The Embanet UK Group was part of a broader acquisition of Pearson Online Learning Services (the "Parent") that occurred between Pearson plc (the "Seller") and Regent LP (the "Buyer") on 30 June 2023. To facilitate the sale of the Parent, the Seller created new legal entities: Embanet UK Limited = 20 January 2023, Embanet PTY Ltd = 14 February 2023, Embanet India Private Limited = 11 April 2023.”
- “Between January 2024 and December 2024, the Parent made several cost reductions across compensation and other selling, general, and administrative costs ("SG&A") to improve its profitability. For the Embanet UK Group, this meant: Embanet UK Limited = reduced headcount from 175 to 123 for full time employees. Embanet Pty Ltd = reduced headcount from 72 to 54 for full time employees. Embanet India Private Limited = remained at zero.”
- “The financial statements include exceptional expenditure of £888,560 in relation to severance pay.”
- “The partnership between Embanet Pty Ltd and the University of Adelaide terminated in December 2025. The directors of Embanet Pty Ltd have decided to close the Australian company during the 2026 financial year.”
