Final Results

Acuity RM Group plc (AIM: ACRM), the software group focused on cybersecurity risk management, is pleased to announce its final audited results for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Highlights

Revenue stable at £2.1m (2024: £2.1m), of which 86% was from subscriptions and 14% from consultancy services.

£1.9m of contracted future revenue at year end, which had risen to £2.1m at the end of Q1 2026 providing near-term revenue visibility

33% reduction in administrative costs, leading to a significant improvement in trading performance with operating losses reduced to £194,000 (2024: loss of £1,076,000)

Recently announced placing, directors’ subscription and oversubscribed retail offer will provide £453,000 (before expenses) of additional funding for product development, sales & marketing investment, and working capital.

Significant product developments:

Vendor Management Hub software launched in autumn 2025, which transforms vendor assessments into automated workflows, delivering faster onboarding and improved supply chain visibility

STREAM® Cloud software launched in March 2026, expanding addressable market into the private sector mid-market

AI-native Risk OS product in development, with detailed research completed and illustrative prototype built, and launch planned for Q4 2026

David Rajakovich, Chief Executive, commented on the results:

"2025 was a year of disciplined execution and meaningful strategic progress. We held revenue stable at £2.1 million while reducing administrative costs by a third, which transformed our trading performance and cut operating losses to £194,000 from over £1 million the prior year. Importantly, we entered the new year with £1.9 million of contracted future revenue, since grown to £2.1 million by the end of the first quarter, giving us strong near-term visibility.

The first half of 2026 has built on that foundation. The launch of STREAM® Cloud in March 2026 has broadened both our capability and our addressable market, taking us into the private sector mid-market for the first time. We’ve unlocked partnerships as a strong distribution channel. Alongside this, our recent fundraise of £453,000, including an oversubscribed retail offer, reflects the confidence of our shareholders and provides the resources to invest in the new Risk OS software, and strengthen our sales and marketing efforts.

Looking ahead, we are particularly excited about our AI-native Risk OS software, which will represent where cyber risk management is going rather than where it is now. We’re determined to capture the opportunity to lead a growing cyber GRC market segment.”

I am delighted the results of the Group reflect the effort and focus on improving the financial performance. The Group offers a leading cyber security risk management platform that provides users with instant information to manage and protect their enterprise’s operations.

The new management led by David Rajakovich has made much progress:

Focus on the cyber security sector of the Governance Risk Compliance (GRC) market where the Group has its roots and a strong and sustainable competitive advantage, as well as blue chip reference customers.

Management with determination to succeed at all levels with every team member understanding their targets, responsibilities and requirement to deliver.

Financial performance – each item of expenditure has to be justified, with non-performing spending modified or eliminated – the administrative expenses have been cut by over 30% so far with further savings as long term contracts expire.

Product developments – a new product Vendor Management Hub (“VMH”) was successfully launched.

It is an entry level product allowing users to better manage the risks associated with suppliers linked to their systems.

The development of a new version of STREAM



took longer than expected and the full roll out was postponed until March 2026.

There has been significant progress, the overhead reduction has resulted in the Group making an operating profit in the fourth quarter of the financial year.

The next steps are winning new business to grow revenues and generate cash, in turn using that cash to invest in the business and its growth.

In 2025 there were several high-profile cyber security incidents featuring major British retailers and manufacturers, these increased the awareness of the risks, effects on an organisation, and costs associated with cyber breaches.

In turn this is positively impacting the market for cyber security products, services and related activities such as insurance cover.

We believe that Acuity’s portfolio of products serve an increasing portion of the market from the top end to the middle with products that provide real improvements in protection.

There is more detail about the business and its activities in the Chief Executive’s report which follows this statement.

Board and employment

I welcome Duncan Harper who joined the Board as Finance Director in November.

Duncan has considerable experience as Finance Director of another AIM business. Most recently he was Finance Director of a large regional law firm whose revenues and profits doubled during his tenure.

I would like to thank our employees for their loyalty over the past year which has seen twelve months of significant change as the business was refocused.

Also, the Board members for their dynamism, vision and ideas to improve the business for the future.

We acknowledge the contribution of suppliers, customers and partners.

Finally, shareholders who have been so supportive and we plan to deliver improving financial performance which should increase shareholder value.

Outlook

The cyber security market is growing and Acuity Risk Management has an increasing range of high-performance products.

It is developing and launching a new product incorporating AI which should be technically ahead of competitors’ products and has features which will make the Group’s suite of products more attractive to partners so expanding market opportunity.

Chief Executive’s statement

Overview

2025 was a year of significant transformation for Acuity. While revenues remained stable at £2.1 million, in line with 2024, the real story of 2025 is one of disciplined cost management, strategic focus and operational improvement. These efforts resulted in a marked improvement from the £1.3 million loss reported in 2024.

The Board took decisive action throughout the year to right-size the cost base and help the business operate sustainably while investing in the capabilities needed to drive future growth. We sharpened our strategic focus on cyber security, where we see the greatest opportunity to create long-term shareholder value.

Financial performance

Revenues for the year were £2.1 million (2024: £2.1 million). Whilst flat year on year, this should be viewed in the context of a period of considerable restructuring. Importantly, we achieved this revenue level with a significantly reduced cost base, demonstrating greater efficiency across the organisation.

Administrative expenses were reduced from £3.0 million in 2024 to £2.0 million in 2025, a reduction of a third. By the fourth quarter, the annualised administrative expenses run rate had been brought down further to approximately £1.8 million. Further reductions in the cost base will be realised in the first quarter of 2026. These measures, combined with stable revenues, enabled the Group to deliver a very significantly reduced loss for the year and to achieve an operating profit in the fourth quarter. This is a significant milestone and demonstrates that the business has reached a sustainable foundation from which to grow.

At the year end, the Group had approximately £1.9 million of forward contracted revenue, providing a solid base entering 2026.

Strategic progress

During 2025, we undertook a thorough review of the business and made a number of important strategic decisions. We sharpened our focus on the cyber security Governance, Risk and Compliance (“GRC”) market, where we believe our STREAM platform and complementary products are well positioned to serve a growing customer need. Each product targets a unique but related customer segment.

We improved the calibre of talent across the organisation and began the process of instilling a performance-based culture. Streamlined decision-making and a leaner team have increased our agility and ability to respond to market opportunities.

Our go-to-market strategy was refined into two clear channels: direct sales to mid-market companies, particularly those in regulated industries seeking to achieve and maintain cyber security certifications; and sales to larger enterprises and government agencies, predominantly through alliance partners.

Products and innovation

Product development was a key area of investment during the year. Our STREAM Classic product continues to serve customers well in the public sector and defence, where it remains one of the few on-premise solutions available to this segment. We upgraded the STREAM user experience significantly, positioning it well for the next phase of commercial growth.

The launch of Vendor Management Hub (“VMH”) showcased our upgraded technical capabilities. We built this new product efficiently to fulfil a need for former Rizikon customers. VMH automates security questionnaires based on supplier type and risk level. VMH has already secured its first customers, including an important defence contractor, and has been made available on the Amazon’s AWS Marketplace, expanding our routes to market. The speed with which VMH was developed and brought to market demonstrates our growing capabilities in rapid, and high quality, product delivery – an important capability in the AI era.

By the year end, development was well advanced on STREAM Cloud, a new cloud-based version of STREAM designed for commercial customers in highly regulated industries. STREAM Cloud represents a step forward in ease of use and will facilitate faster customer onboarding, reduced manual intervention and an improved experience for both customers and alliance partners. STREAM Cloud has now launched as of March 2026.

Sales, marketing and partnerships

We made meaningful progress in developing our sales and marketing capabilities during the year. We invested in improving the technical performance of the Acuity Risk Management website, laying the foundation for improved visibility in AI-driven search, an emerging channel known as AI Engine Optimisation (“AEO”). We also significantly increased our presence on LinkedIn, resulting in greater engagement and awareness of our brand and products.

On the partnerships front, we made progress across a number of strategic relationships. We continued to develop our work with major defence contractors and consultancies, and initiated a programme of outreach to mid-market consultancies. Our partner enablement approach has been strengthened by improvements in our product usability, making it easier for partners to sell, deploy and support our solutions on behalf of their clients.

Outlook

Looking ahead to 2026, the Board is cautiously optimistic. Having established a more sustainable cost base, and supported by the recently announced equity fundraise, we are now focused on accelerating growth. Our strategy for 2026 centres on several key themes:

First, product innovation remains at the core of our plans. We are developing a next-generation, AI-native cyber GRC product that we believe will be a step change in how organisations manage cyber risk. Delivering a product that provides extraordinary value to customers is the foundation upon which we intend to build the business.

Second, we are pursuing a product-led growth strategy that will enable our products to do more of the heavy lifting in the sales process, reducing time to value for customers and allowing them to begin using our solutions with minimal manual onboarding. This is critical to scaling the business efficiently.

Third, we will continue to invest in our alliance partner network. Reinvigorating existing partnerships and establishing new strategic relationships will be key to expanding our distribution and reach into new geographies and sectors.

Finally, the Board continues to evaluate opportunities to accelerate growth through selective acquisitions where such opportunities would be value-enhancing for shareholders.

The cyber security GRC market continues to grow, driven by an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, including the EU AI Act and the Digital Operations Resilience Act (“DORA”), as well as the ever-present threat of cyber attacks, particularly through suppliers and other third parties. We believe Acuity is well positioned to serve this market and that the foundations laid in 2025 will enable us to capitalise on the significant opportunity ahead.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The management of the business and the nature of the Group’s strategy are subject to risks. The Directors set out below the principal risks identified for the business.

Where possible, processes are in place to identify and manage such risks.

The Group operates systems of internal control and reporting to provide assurance that the Board is managing risk whilst achieving its business objectives. No system can fully eliminate risk and, therefore, the understanding of operational risk is central to the management process.

To enable shareholders to appreciate what the business considers are the main operational risks, they are briefly outlined below:

Governance

Board of Directors

Billam was the lead investor in Cybit, which grew from pre-revenue status to become the leading vehicle telematics business in Europe, through both organic growth and by making selective acquisitions. Billam changed its name to Energiser Investments in 2008, then to Drumz in 2020 when Angus re-established the Company as a technology investment company.

Corporate governance report

Introduction

As Chairman of the Company, I have overall responsibility for managing the Board, ensuring that corporate governance is embedded within the business. Corporate governance is at the heart of this organisation in order to maintain integrity and to ensure we govern effectively such that we deliver long-term value for our shareholders.

Acuity RM Group plc’s shares are traded on AIM, a market operated by the London Stock Exchange. The Group recognises the importance of and is committed to high standards of corporate governance.

Maintaining high standards through all business activities is reassuring to third parties with which Acuity interacts, so benefitting the business, employees and other stakeholders who understand what is expected and why; and in turn this will be reflected in improving business performance and shareholder rewards.

The Company has chosen to adopt the Quoted Companies Alliance’s Corporate Governance Code 2023 (the “QCA Code”) and its website includes additional disclosures required by the QCA Code and the AIM Rules for Companies.

The Board applies the ten principles of the QCA Code insofar as reasonably practicable, given the Company’s nature and size. Further details on compliance with the principles are provided below.

The Board believes that the QCA Code provides the Company with a practical and rigorous corporate governance framework to support this strategy and the Group’s success. Where our practices depart from expectations of the QCA Code, I have given an explanation as to why, at this time, it is appropriate for the Group to depart from the QCA Code. The ten principles of the QCA Code are listed below together with a short explanation of how the Company applies each of the principles:

Principle One – Establish a purpose, strategy and business model which promotes long term value for shareholders

The creation of shareholder value is based around a business model to develop and build the Acuity business organically and potentially by focused acquisition.

The value of the business should be based on its scale, rate of growth, quality of offering and key customers as well as traditional financial metrics, cash generation and profitability.

It is described in more detail with the Chairman’s Statement and the Chief Executive’s Statement.

The AIM quote is of value to our shareholders as it enables them to trade their shares; and to the Group as it offers a combination of raised profile, the ability to raise additional funds, flexibility to make acquisitions and gives the ability to provide incentives and rewards to management through share schemes.

It also provides a regulatory framework appropriate to the business.

Principle Two – Promote a corporate culture that is based on ethical values and behaviours

The Board recognises the long-term success of the Group is reliant upon the efforts of the employees, partners, contractors, suppliers and regulators.

It upholds high ethical and other standards.

There are several frameworks to which the Group adheres; including legal and regulatory requirements, adoption of standards and codes of behaviour required by AIM, ISO 27001 and otherwise.

It believes maintaining high standards and operating a meritocracy will benefit the Group by creating value in the short, medium and long terms.

The Board recognises that the decisions regarding strategy and risk will impact the corporate culture of the Group as a whole and that this will impact the performance of the Group. The Board places great importance on this aspect of corporate life and seeks to ensure that this flows through all the Group activities.

The Board assessment of the culture within the Group at the present time is one where there is respect for all individuals, there is open dialogue within the Group and there is a commitment to provide the best service possible to all of the Group’s customers and clients.

The Group maintains and develops strong processes which promote ethical values and behaviours across all hierarchies.

The Board has adopted an anti-corruption and bribery policy which is outlined on the Company’s website. The policy which applies to all Directors and employees of the Group sets out their responsibilities in observing and upholding a zero-tolerance position on bribery and corruption, as well as providing guidance to those working for the Group on how to recognise and deal with bribery and corruption issues and the potential consequences.

The Company has adopted a code for directors’ and employees’ dealings in securities which is appropriate for a company whose securities are traded on AIM and is in accordance with rule 21 of the AIM Rules and compliant with MAR.

Principle Three – Seek to understand and meet shareholder needs and expectations

The Board is committed to maintaining good communication and having constructive dialogue with its shareholders. The Company has instigated new methods of communicating with and developing relationships with its shareholders. Presentations are made to investors with question and answer sessions using the Investor Meet Company service. In addition, all shareholders are encouraged to attend the Company’s Annual General Meeting. Investors have access to current information on the Company though its website, which includes annual and interim financial reports, RNS releases and full AIM Rule 26 disclosures.

Principle Four – Take into account wider stakeholder interest, including social and environmental responsibilities, and their implications for long-term success.

The Group manages relationships with regular communications, presentations and on-going dialogue with customers, employees, partners, suppliers, regulators and others.

It encourages feedback from all these stakeholders.

Management reviews performance of the business regularly, setting key performance indicators (KPIs) and managing performance against past performance, KPIs, targets and budgets which are also reviewed by the Board at every Board meeting.

Environmental

AIM quoted companies are required to comply with SECR (Streamlined Energy Carbon Reporting) if they meet the relevant financial thresholds. The Group does not meet these threshold requirements under the SECR. However, as a small software company business energy use is the main area of climate impact and we take appropriate measures to minimise business energy use through the design of the software and a focus on the cost of providing the software to our customers.

Social

The Board is aware of the Group’s responsibilities as a corporate organisation and as an employer and partner to operate to high standards of behaviour both internally and externally. These include social impact standards as well as adherence to laws and regulations. There is a whistleblowing policy in place.

The Board regularly reviews the risks facing the Group and seeks to avoid or mitigate those risks as appropriate. The Board is responsible for the monitoring of financial and other performance against budget and forecasts and the formulation of the Group’s risk appetite including the identification, assessment and monitoring of the principal risks.

Currently, the Group’s appetite for risk is medium, based on the strategy of fast growth.

The risks are managed by careful management of KPIs, which are used by the management and Board to monitor performance.

These are kept under regular review with a comprehensive review of all risks annually.

The Board considers that the key risks faced by the Group are set out in principal risks and uncertainties section of the strategic report. The Board’s strategies to mitigate these risks are as follows:

Trading

to maintain a high level of awareness of performance against budget through the capturing and dissemination of KPIs to all Board members;

investment in software development with the latest technology; and

to expand the Group’s client base into new organisations, in new geographical territories and where possible to sign multi-year contracts to secure future income streams.

Incentivise and retain key people.

To maintain cash balances and raise new funding in advance of it being required.

In addition to its other roles and responsibilities the Audit Committee is responsible to the Board for ensuring that procedures are in place and are being effectively implemented to identify, evaluate and manage any significant risks faced by the Group.

The Directors have established procedures for the purpose of providing a system of internal control, including adherence to frameworks such as ISO 27001 and management of financial risks including reports and segregation of duties. In addition, there are a range of Group policies that are reviewed at least annually by the Board. These policies cover matters including share dealing and insider legislation, conflicts of interest, social media, expenses, treasury, remuneration, risk and compliance. These areas are also included as permanent agenda items for report and review at each regular board meeting. The Board currently takes the view that an internal audit function is not considered necessary or practical due to the size of the Group, segregation of duties and the close day to day control exercised by the executive directors.

As at 31 December 2025 the Board led by Angus Forrest, included David Rajakovich, Duncan Harper and two other non-executive directors, John Wakefield and Nick Clark. The Board considers that John Wakefield is the only independent director; Nick Clark is not considered to be independent, by virtue of his significant shareholding in the Group. Angus Forrest is not considered to be independent by virtue of his previous executive chairmanship of the Company. The Quoted Company Alliance Corporate Governance Code recommends that there should be at least two independent directors. The Group considers that because of its size one independent director is satisfactory at present. All Directors are encouraged to use their judgement and to challenge matters, whether strategic or operational, enabling the Board to discharge its duties and responsibilities effectively.

In accordance with the Companies Act 2006, the Board complies with: a duty to act within their powers; a duty to promote the success of the Group; a duty to exercise independent judgement; a duty to exercise reasonable care, skill and diligence; a duty to avoid conflicts of interest; a duty not to accept benefits from third parties and a duty to declare any interest in a proposed transaction or arrangement.

The Board is collectively responsible for the long-term success of the Group and for its leadership, strategy, values, control and management. Board meetings are held at such times as are required for effective monitoring of the Group’s operations.

All Directors commit the time necessary to fulfil their roles, and this position is kept under review.

Given the size of the Board and the scale and nature of the Group’s business, the Company does not yet have a separate Nominations Committee.

The Directors have diverse backgrounds and qualifications, they have a wide range of experience which they bring to the Group particularly in relation to setting targets, overseeing performance and decision making.

The role of the non-executive directors is to bring independent judgement to Board deliberation and decisions.

The Board has considerable experience and expertise in the technology sector and the running of publicly traded companies and with the appointment of David Rajakovich, experience of leading and growing a SaaS business.

John Wakefield, Nick Clark, and now Angus Forrest are non-executive directors.

Biographical details of all directors can be found at the start of the governance section.

The Board meets regularly and is responsible for formulating, reviewing and approving the Group’s strategy, budgets, performance, major capital expenditure and corporate actions. The Board meets at least six times per annum. It has established an Audit Committee and a Remuneration Committee, both comprise solely non-executive directors, particulars of these committee meetings appear hereafter.

Board Meetings are open and constructive, with every Director participating fully.

Main Board and Committee attendance

During the year, the Company held ten Main Board meetings. The following table shows the attendance of directors at Main Board and Committee meetings held during the year:

1

Kate Buchan resigned as a director with effect from 12 November 2025.

2

Duncan Harper was appointed to the Board with effect from 12 November 2025.

All the directors are subject to either a service agreement or letter of appointment outlining their duties and responsibilities.

The Articles of Association require directors appointed during a year to retire at the first AGM and be put forward to stand for re-appointment by members at that AGM; and each director is required to retire from office and stand for re-election every third year. The QCA Code recommends that shareholders should be given the opportunity to vote annually on the re-election of all the individual directors to the Board. However, the Board does not consider it appropriate to change to an annual vote for all directors because the Company is still developing, and effective management and control requires experienced directors to provide continuity and a true in-depth understanding of the business.

The Board has decided that each director should stand for re-election at the AGM every other year.

Principle Seven – Maintain appropriate governance structures and ensure that individually and collectively the directors have the necessary up to date experience, skills and capabilities

The responses to Principle Seven should be read in conjunction with those to Principle Six above.

Governance structures

The Group is headed by the Board which comprises two executive directors and three non-executive directors.

It is supported by Audit and Remuneration Committees, which comprise the non-executive directors.

The Board believes that the current balance of skills reflects a broad range of personal, commercial and professional skills and a range of financial and managerial skills. The Chairman maintains ongoing communications and updates with the non-executives between formal Board meetings.

The Board has a range of skills and experience related to running AIM companies, including setting and ensuring adherence to good corporate culture.

Where the Board lacks appropriate skills, it outsources to relevant experts in the Group and externally as required.

The Directors have access to the Company’s Nominated Advisor, company secretary, lawyers and auditors as and when required and are able to obtain advice from other external bodies when necessary. If required, the Directors are entitled to take independent legal advice.

In addition to their general Board responsibilities, non-executive Directors are encouraged to be involved in making inputs in line with their individual areas of expertise. The Board is kept abreast of developments of governance and AIM regulations. The Company’s Nominated Advisor provides initial training including the AIM Rules as part of a new Director’s on boarding, thereafter when there are relevant updates.

The Board as a whole and individual directors receive appropriate on-going professional training to ensure they have the requisite and up to date skills to perform their duties.

Board reports – the Board details the information it requires to oversee the management of the business and take appropriate decisions.

The management produces monthly board reports for the Directors / Board to consider as well as additional information as required.

Principle Eight - Evaluation board performance based on clear and relevant objectives, seeking continuous improvement

The Directors last undertook a full evaluation in the year ended 31 December 2024 which resulted in changes to the executive team which were announced during that year.

In the Board meetings, the Directors can discuss any areas where they feel a change might benefit the Company, and the Company Secretary remains on hand to provide impartial advice.

No external Board evaluation has been made, nor is one planned.

The main reasons are the early stage of the quoted business and the changes which have taken place to improve its performance should be allowed to deliver before it would be appropriate to have an external evaluation.

The Board recognises that the success of the Group is dependent on its employees and it is critical to recruit and retain the best talent appropriate to the business.

Therefore, it is important to create an exciting business with significant growth potential, to attract employees, to remunerate people at market rates with commission and bonuses paid for good performance.

Also, to grant share options to retain and reward key staff appropriately.

A new EMI share option scheme was adopted in 2024, with share options granted and mostly exercisable only when the market price has doubled from the price at the date of grant.

Remuneration is one of the key drivers for employees, other key motivators include the corporate culture, team atmosphere and opportunity for advancement.

It has been decided that an advisory shareholder vote on remuneration is not appropriate for this business at this stage of its development, although this policy will be kept under review.

Principle Ten – Communicate how the group is governed and is performing by maintaining a dialogue communicated with shareholders and other key stakeholders

2025 was a year of consolidation with a focus on cost reduction and positioning the Group for future growth.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee comprises John Wakefield as Chair, Nick Clark and Angus Forrest.

Other directors attend by invitation. The Committee’s primary responsibilities are to review the incentive and reward packages for the Chair, Executive Directors and senior executives to ensure that they are aligned with the Group’s strategic objectives and financial performance, and are appropriate to attract, retain and motivate management behaviour in support of the Group’s culture and beliefs and the long-term sustainable creation of shareholder value. No Director took part in discussions concerning the determination of their own remuneration.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee comprises John Wakefield as Chair, Nick Clark and Angus Forrest.

Other directors attend by invitation. The Audit Committee’s primary responsibilities are to monitor the financial affairs of the Group, to ensure that the financial performance of the Group is properly measured and reported on, and to review reports from the Group’s auditor relating to the accounting and internal controls. The significant issues considered by the Audit Committee relating to the Group’s financial statements include revenue recognition and intangible assets, as detailed in the principal accounting policies within the financial statements.

The independence and effectiveness of the external auditor is reviewed annually and the Audit Committee meets at least once per financial year with the auditors to discuss their independence and objectivity, the Annual Report, any audit issues arising, internal control processes, auditor appointment and fee levels and other appropriate matters.

Annual General Meeting

The AGM allows the Board to update the shareholders on the Company’s progress and provides an opportunity for shareholders to pose questions to Directors. In particular, the AGM provides an opportunity for shareholders, particularly private investors, to engage in wider discussion with the Board on issues of concern or interest to them, and to share their thoughts on the Company’s strategy and business model.

Audit Committee report

for the year ended 31 December 2025

Chairman’s introduction

It gives me great pleasure to present the Audit Committee report on behalf of the Audit Committee. Acuity RM Group plc is an AIM quoted company and as such, we are guided by the QCA’s Audit Committee Guide. Below we set out the Committee’s responsibilities and report on the activities of the Committee during the period ended 31 December 2025.

The Board is pleased to propose the re-appointment of PKF Littlejohn LLP as the Company’s Auditor at this year’s AGM.

The role and duties of the Audit Committee

The role of the Audit Committee assists the Board with monitoring, reviewing and challenging the integrity of the Company’s financial results. The framework of duties is set out in its Terms of Reference which are available on the Company’s website.

The Audit Committee is responsible for ensuring the financial performance of the Company is properly recorded and reported on, including adopting suitable accounting policies and judgements which affect the financial statements. It also liaises with the external auditors.

Committee membership and attendance

Appointments to the Committee, which currently comprises John Wakefield, Nick Clark and Angus Forrest, are made by the Board, having been deemed to have the appropriate skills and experience. Only members of the Committee have the right to attend meetings, although others may be invited to attend meetings as appropriate.

The external auditors also attend the meetings to discuss the planning and conclusions of their work and meet with the members of the Audit Committee without any members of the executive team present after each meeting. The Audit Committee can call for information from management and consults with the external auditors directly if required.

During the year, the Committee held one scheduled meeting and reported on its activities to the Board.

Activities of the Committee

External Auditor

Audit process

The Audit Committee liaises with the external auditor prior to the start of the audit, during the audit process and in a review at the end of the audit, including reviewing the Auditor’s engagement letter and requested management representation letter.

Effectiveness and independence of the external auditor

The Audit Committee reviews and monitors the independence and the objectivity of the external auditor.

Appointment of the external auditor

The Audit Committee advises the Board on the appointment, reappointment and removal of the external auditor.

Other

Internal Audit Function

Given the size of the Group, internal controls and segregation of tasks it has been decided that it would be impractical to set up an internal audit.

This decision will be reviewed from time to time.

Whistleblowing

Every contract of employment contains a section on whistleblowing and there is a Group procedure in the event that a whistleblower wants to bring a matter to the attention of the Board.

John Wakefield

Audit Committee Chairman

Remuneration Committee report

for the year ended 31 December 2025

The policy of the Board is to provide executive remuneration packages designed to attract, motivate, and retain Directors and employees of a sufficiently high calibre such that shareholder value will be enhanced and to reward them accordingly. It aims to provide sufficient levels of remuneration to do this, but also to avoid paying more than is appropriate.

Angus Forrest and David Rajakovich have service contracts each with a notice period of six months. Duncan Harper has a service contract with a notice period of three months.

Main elements of remuneration

The three main elements of the Executive Directors’ remuneration packages which are a mix of fixed and variable pay:

base salary, performance-related bonus and share option incentives.

Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 December 2025

Independent auditor’s report to the members of Acuity RM Group Plc

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Acuity RM Group Plc (the ‘parent company’) and its subsidiaries (the ‘group’) for the year ended 31 December 2025 which comprise the Group Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Group and Parent Company Statements of Financial Position, the Group and Parent Company Statements of Changes in Equity, the Group and Parent Company Statements of Cash Flows 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 UK-adopted international accounting standards and as regards the parent company financial statements, as applied in accordance with the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.

In our opinion:

Basis for opinion

Conclusions relating to going concern

We obtained an understanding of the business model, objectives, strategies and related business risks;

Assessing the forecasting and budgeting processes undertaken by management and the entity’s risk assessment process;

We challenged the directors’ assumptions underlying the going concern model including the reliability of the underlying data used, focusing on the forecast revenues in terms of customer renewals and conversion of the pipeline;

We challenged the directors’ plans for future actions including whether such plans are feasible in the circumstances;

We evaluated the base case cash forecast prepared by management including the impact of possible downside scenarios, together with the feasibility of mitigating actions through further fund raises and alternative financing arrangements, if required;

We agreed the year-end cash balance to the opening position within the forecast;

We evaluated and compared previous forecasts to actual performance and management information to assess management’s forecasting accuracy;

We inquired into and considered subsequent events impacting the going concern assessment; and

We assessed the adequacy and appropriateness of disclosures in the financial statements.

Our application of materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. The quantitative and qualitative thresholds for materiality determine the scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures. We apply the concept of materiality both in planning and throughout the course of the audit, and in evaluating the effect of misstatements.

We also determine a level of performance materiality which we use to assess the extent of testing needed to reduce to an appropriately low level the probability that the aggregate of uncorrected and undetected misstatements exceeds materiality for the financial statements as a whole. Specifically, we use performance materiality in determining the nature and extent of our testing of account balances, classes of transactions and disclosures.

In determining overall materiality and performance materiality, we considered the following factors:

our cumulative knowledge of the group and its environment, including industry specific trends;

the change in the level of judgement required in respect of the key accounting estimates;

significant transactions during the year;

the stability in key management personnel; and

the level of misstatements identified in prior periods.

Materiality for the group financial statements was set at £50,300 (2024 - £63,000). This was calculated based on 5% of the average loss after taxation for the last 3 years (2024 – 5% of loss after taxation). Using our professional judgement, we determined loss after taxation to be the principal benchmark within the group financial statements as it is most relevant to stakeholders in assessing the financial performance of the group, and a key performance indicator. An average was applied to eliminate year-on-year volatility and provide a clearer measure of underlying performance.

Performance materiality for the group financial statements was set at £40,300 (2024 - £50,400) being 80% of headline materiality for the group financial statements as a whole.

Materiality for the parent company financial statements was set at £47,750. This was calculated as 1% of net assets capped at 95% of Group materiality (2024 - £53,000 – 1% of net assets). The performance materiality was £38,250 (2024 - £42,400).

For each component of the group, we allocated a performance materiality that is less than our overall group materiality. The performance materiality applied to the trading subsidiary financial statements was £32,240 (2024 - £40,320).

We agreed to report to those charged with governance all corrected and uncorrected misstatements we identified through our audit with a value in excess of £2,520 (2024 - £3,150) and for the parent company a value in excess of £2,350 (2024 - £2,650). We also agreed to report any other audit misstatements below that threshold that we believe warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.

Our approach to the audit

In designing our audit approach, we looked at areas involving significant accounting estimates and judgements by the Directors and considered future events that are inherently uncertain, including the valuation of goodwill and intangibles assets. We also assessed the risk of management override of internal controls, including among other matters consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material misstatement due to fraud.

A full scope audit was performed on the financial information of the parent company and subsidiary undertaking.

Key audit matters

Recoverability of Investment in Subsidiary and intercompany Receivable (Parent Company only) (note 16)

Carrying value of Intangible Assets and Goodwill (notes 10 and 12)

Other information

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 the audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

certain disclosures of directors’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or

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

Responsibilities of directors

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

We obtained an understanding of the group and parent company and the sector in which they operate to identify laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a direct effect on the financial statements. We obtained our understanding in this regard through discussions with management, industry research, and application of cumulative audit knowledge and experience of the sector.

We determined the principal laws and regulations relevant to the group and parent company in this regard to be those arising from UK-adopted International Accounting Standards, the AIM Rules for Companies and UK tax law and regulations.

enquiring of management;

reviewing board minutes;

reviewing Regulatory News Service announcements; and

reviewing legal and regulatory correspondence.

We also identified the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud. We considered, in addition to the non-rebuttable presumption of a risk of fraud arising from management override of controls, that the potential risk for management bias was in the valuation of investments and carrying value of intangibles assets, including Goodwill. We addressed the risk by challenging the assumptions and judgements made by management when auditing that significant accounting estimate.

As in all of our audits, we addressed the risk of fraud arising from management override of controls by performing audit procedures which included, but were not limited to: the testing of journals;

reviewing accounting estimates for evidence of bias; and evaluating the business rationale of any significant transactions that are unusual or outside the normal course of business.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at:

Principal accounting policies

for the year ended 31 December 2025

General information

Acuity RM Group plc is a company incorporated and domiciled in the United Kingdom. The Company is a public limited company, which is quoted on AIM of the London Stock Exchange, incorporated in the UK and domiciled in England and Wales. The address of the registered office is Second Floor, 80 Cheapside, London EC2V 6EE.

The principal activity of the Group is the provision of risk management software and related services.

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the Group and Company financial statements are set out below.

Basis of accounting

Basis of preparation

The Group and Company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the London Stock Exchange plc AIM Rules for Companies and in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted in the United Kingdom (“UK adopted IFRS”) and those parts of the Companies Act 2006 applicable to companies reporting in accordance with UK adopted IFRS. The financial statements have also been prepared under the historical cost convention, except as modified for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

The financial statements are presented in pounds sterling (£’000), which is also the functional currency of the Company and Group.

The Company and the Group’s financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies set out below. These have been applied consistently throughout the Group and the Company and applied consistently to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

Going concern

The financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes that the Company and Group will continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

The Directors have reviewed the board approved Group financial forecast for a period up to and including June 2027 which comprises projected monthly comprehensive income statements, statements of financial position and statements of cash flows.

In June 2026 the Group announced a placing and Directors’ subscription raising £400,000 (before expenses) which is conditional upon shareholder approval of a resolution at a general meeting to be held on 7 July 2026. The forecast, and the directors’ going concern assessment, assumes the resolution will be approved.

The group is currently primarily equity funded with low levels of debt, and has significant committed forward revenues from existing customers, but has experienced cash outflows from operations primarily caused by high overheads and lower than hoped revenue growth. Over the past year the Directors have significantly scaled back overheads to put the Group on a more sustainable basis going forward.

The key factors in the forecast include renewal rates and values from existing customers when existing commitment periods come to an end, the cost and timing of software product development and subsequent product launch, and the values and timing of sales to new customers of both existing and new software products.

The review has included considering the sensitivity of the forecast to the values of sales to new customers, which is considered the key factor most difficult to accurately forecast.

The Directors have also considered and identified potential mitigating factors should the Group fall short of its forecasts. These include potential new debt and / or equity funding, and reductions and / or delays in expenditure.

This review has led the Directors to conclude there is a reasonable expectation that the Company and Group has adequate resources to continue operating for the foreseeable future.

For this reason, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the Company’s and Group’s financial statements.

Changes in accounting policies

The new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations applicable for the first time to this set of financial statements have not materially affected the current or previous periods.

The application of published but not yet applicable new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations to future sets of financial statements are not expected to have a material effect.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements consolidate those of the Company and all its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to the end of the financial year. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control exists when the Company:

has the power over the investee;

is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

All intergroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cashflows relating to transactions between the members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation.

Revenue and other income

All billing to customers is treated as deferred income until the Group recognises the income in accordance with its revenue recognition policies.

Revenue is measured based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer. The Group recognises revenue from the following major sources:

Software subscription licences and support agreements. Revenue from software subscription licenses and support agreements are recognised over the term of the contract on a straight line basis.

Consultancy in support of the provision of the software. Consultancy revenue including professional services and training, is recognised as the relevant services are delivered.

Where contracts combine both types of services the value of the contacts is allocated pro rata to the standalone selling prices.

Fees and other income from investee companies is recognised as revenues as it falls due.

Interest is recognised as it becomes due.

Dividends are recognised when the shareholders’ right to receive payment is established.

Taxation

Current tax

The tax currently payable based on taxable profit or loss for the period. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the income statement because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and 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 end of

the reporting period.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on the difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary differences arise from goodwill or from initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction

that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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 income statement, 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 liabilities and assets are offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset current assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

Pension obligations

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The Group pays fixed contributions which are charged to the income statement in the year to which they relate. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund.

Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Generally, financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value plus or minus transaction costs. However, for financial instruments classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), the transaction costs are immediately expensed to profit or loss.

In line with the principles of IFRS 9, financial assets are classified and measured according to the business model in which they are held and their contractual cash flow characteristics. Accordingly, financial assets are classified and measured at amortised cost, fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) or fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). Financial liabilities are classified and measured either at amortised cost or at FVTPL.

Financial assets held at amortised cost

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Debt instruments are classified as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income where the financial assets are held within the Company's business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specific dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

When any of the above-mentioned conditions for classification of financial assets is not met, a financial asset is classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets measured at FVTPL are recognised initially at fair value and any transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss when incurred. A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at FVTPL is recognised in profit or loss, and is included within finance income or finance costs in the statement of income for the reporting period in which it arises.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets carried at amortised cost and FVTOCI are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

Derecognition of financial assets

Financial liabilities

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method or at FVTPL.

Financial liabilities are classified as FVTPL when the financial liability is contingent consideration of an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, or it is designated as at FVTPL.

Other financial liabilities, including borrowing, trade payables and other short-term monetary liabilities, are initially measured at fair value net of transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of the financial liability. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. For the purposes of each financial liability, interest expense includes initial transaction costs and any premium payable on redemption, as well as any interest or coupon payable while the liability is outstanding.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash-in-hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Equity

Equity comprises the following:

Share capital represents the nominal value of equity shares.

Share premium represents the excess over nominal value of the fair value of consideration received for equity shares, net of expenses of

the

share issue.

Share based payment reserve represents:

For options and warrants issued for services: The cumulative amounts charged as an expense in respect of outstanding option and warrants.

For warrants issued to share subscribers: The value of outstanding warrants.

Retained earnings represents retained profits/(losses).

Merger reserve represents the excess of the nominal value of shares issued in the acquisition of a subsidiary undertaking and the nominal value of the subsidiary undertaking’s shares.

Investments

Shares in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less provision for impairment. Listed investments are measured at fair value through profit and loss.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets such as property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

Depreciation is charged on all items of property, plant and equipment so as to write off their carrying value over the expected useful economic lives. It is charged at the following rate:

Computer Equipment

Straight line basis over 3 years

Estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed each year and amended as required.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.

Customer contracts

Straight line basis per contract

Software development

Straight line basis over 5 years

Website development

Straight line basis over 3 years

Estimated useful lives and residual values are reviewed each year and amended as required.

Software development costs directly attributable to the design and testing of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the company which meet the recognition criteria in IAS 38 are recognised as intangible assets. Directly attributable costs that are capitalised as part of the software development include both internal employee costs and external development services. Computer software development costs recognised as assets are amortised over their estimated useful lives of five years, with amortisation commencing on the launch of the product.

Other software development expenditures that do not meet the recognition criteria in IAS 38 are expensed as incurred. Software development costs previously recognised as an expense are not recognised as an asset in a subsequent period.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition of a businesses over the fair value of net assets acquired. It is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less impairment losses.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Company's cash-generating units expected to benefit from the acquisition.

A cash-generating unit, (CGU), to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually, or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired. This is done by comparing the carrying amount of the CGU, including the goodwill, with its recoverable amount. When the carrying amount is greater than the recoverable amount, an impairment loss must be recognised. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

Segment reporting

In accordance with IFRS 8, information is disclosed to enable users of financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business activities in which the Group engages. The Group engages on only one business activity, namely the provision of risk management software and related services.

Share-based payments

The Group has made awards of options on its unissued share capital to directors as part of their remuneration package (via an unapproved scheme and an EMI approved scheme) and share warrants to its advisors. The valuation of these options and warrants involved making a number of critical estimates relating to price volatility, future dividend yields, expected life of the options and interest rates.

The Group has used the Black-Scholes formula to calculate the fair value of warrants and share options issued under the unapproved scheme. For the EMI approved scheme, the fair value was calculated using a Monte Carlo model due to the performance condition of the share options.

The Group occasionally agrees to settle obligations by the issue of equity rather than by the payment of cash. Where this occurs, the obligations are measured at fair value determined on the same basis as equivalent cash settled obligations.

Leases

Assets and liabilities arising from a lease are initially measured on a present value basis. Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if it can be readily determined. Otherwise, the estimated incremental borrowing rate is used.

Lease payments are allocated between principal and finance cost. The finance cost is charged over the lease period so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.

Right of use assets are depreciated on the shorter of the asset’s useful life and the lease term on a straight-line basis.

Critical accounting estimates and judgements

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are disclosed below:

Impairments of investments and loans to subsidiaries

The Group and the Company assess at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that investments in and loans to subsidiaries are impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, a considerable amount of estimation is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of these investments. This assessment has been undertaken using a projected cashflow model. As at the period end, the Directors do not assess there to be any impairment of these amounts.

Carrying value of the goodwill

The goodwill relates to the acquisition of Acuity Risk Management in April 2023. The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the carrying value of the goodwill should be impaired. To determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment, a considerable amount of estimation is required in assessing the ultimate realisation of this investment. This assessment has been undertaken using a discounted projected cashflow model. As at the period end, the Directors do not assess there to be any impairment of these amounts.

Carrying value of capitalised software development costs

At each reporting period the estimated useful life and residual values of intangible assets are reviewed. The vast majority of the carrying value of the Group’s software development costs relate to the new STREAM Cloud edition of its STREAM software which was launched in March 2026, the costs of which will be amortised straight-line over five years from launch.

Share based payments

The Group issues options and warrants which are valued in accordance with IFRS2 “Share-based payments”. In calculating the related charge on issuing shares and warrants the Group will use a variety of estimates and judgements in respect of inputs used including share price volatility, risk free rate and expected life. Changes to these inputs may impact the related charge.

Notes to the Financial Statements

for the year ended 31 December 2025

Revenue and segmental analysis

The following is an analysis of the Group’s revenue for the year from continuing operations:

All revenue recognised in each financial year relates to services provided during those financial years.

Administrative expenses include £79,000 (2024: £69,000) of research and development expenditure which did not meet the criteria for capitalisation.

Staff Costs

The 2025 exceptional costs relate to a multi-year supplier contract from which the Group is no longer expected to derive any value and is therefore now considered onerous.

The 2024 exceptional costs predominantly relate to the departure costs of the former Chief Executive.

Auditor’s remuneration

Corporation tax

There is a tax credit for the current year related to research & development reclaims. The tax assessed for the year is explained as follows:

The research & development reclaims are recognised when received.

The Group has unrecognised potential deferred tax assets totalling £2,788,000 (2024: 2,718,000) from trading losses carried forward of £4,108,000 (2024: £3,827,000) and other losses carried forward of £7,046,000 (2024: £7,046,000).

Earnings per ordinary share

The calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the year by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year.

Diluted earnings per share is taken as equal to basic earnings per share, as the Group’s average share price during the both the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025 was lower than the exercise price of the share options and warrants and therefore the effect of including the share options and warrants would be anti-dilutive.

In June 2026 the Group announced a placing, Directors’ subscription and retail offer raising £453,396 (before expenses) through the issue of 60,452,728 shares and 60,452,728 warrants which is conditional upon shareholder approval of a resolution at a general meeting to be held on 7 July 2026.

Intangible assets – Group

The goodwill arose on the acquisition of Acuity Risk Management in April 2023. Both the value in use of the goodwill and its fair value less cost of disposal have been assessed, with the fair value less cost of disposal assessed to be slightly higher than its value in use.

The goodwill’s value in use was assessed using a discounted cashflow model. The cashflows were estimated over ten years in the following three tranches, with years one and two based on latest monthly forecasts out to December 2027, years three to five based on projections with individual growth assumptions applied to each of the projection components, and years six to ten based on growth in net cash flow of 1.25%. The ten year period reflects both the established nature of the Acuity Risk Management business and the integration of its software products into customers risk management infrastructure. The key assumption is the growth in new customer subscriptions for the Group’s software products over the first five years. This growth is forecast to be greater than achieved since 2023 due to the launch of new software products, and more investment in sales and marketing. The Group’s estimated weighted cost of capital of 6.40% has been used as the discount rate.

The goodwill’s fair value less cost of disposal was assessed by applying the valuation multiple from the industry index published by SaaS Capital to the Group’s revenue. At the end of April 2026 that index was 3.60, which less assumed disposal costs gives a recoverable amount of £7,300,000. That is £2,146,000 above the carrying value of the goodwill, and the index would need to drop to under 2.55 for the recoverable amount to fall below the carrying value.

Accordingly no impairment provision was deemed necessary at the reporting date.

Investments held at Fair Value through Profit and Loss

Investment in KCR Residential REIT plc

Current liabilities

The bank loan is a Coronavirus Business Interruption loan, (CBIL), that was taken out in July 2021. The loan is repayable over 6 years and is secured by a debenture.

Under the terms of the CBILS no interest was payable for the first 12 months, therefore the CBIL has been fair valued through profit and loss. The fair value adjustment is disclosed in note 5.

The other loan was a short term loan taken out in 2024 and fully repaid in January 2025.

Long term liabilities

The deferred shares are effectively valueless as they have:

no voting rights other than at a class meeting of those shares;

no rights to any dividends;

no rights to return of assets until £100,000 has been paid on each ordinary share then limited to capital paid up.

The Company also has the right to purchase all deferred shares for nominal consideration.

During the year the Company undertook three tranches of equity fund raising:

In September 2025 issuing 35,000,000 ordinary shares raising £330,000 net of issue costs

In all these fund raising warrants were also issued to the subscribers allowing them to subscribe for the same number of shares over the following eighteen months at a price of 1.50p.

In addition the Company:

Share options

The group operates two share option schemes. An EMI approved share option scheme set up in 2024 and an older unapproved scheme.

The charges recognised in respect of these share option schemes were as follows:

Unapproved share options scheme

At 31 December 2025 outstanding options granted over ordinary shares under the unapproved share option scheme were as follows;

900,000

The weighted average exercise price for the Group’s options outstanding under the unapproved share option scheme at 31 December 2025 was 6.06p (2024: 6.06p).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the share options under the unapproved scheme outstanding at 31 December 2025 was 4.7 years (2024: 5.7 years).

The options may only be exercised by option holders while they are still employees of the Group. If death in service occurs the options can be exercised (to the extent that they have vested) by the option holder’s personal representatives within 12 months from the date of death. If an option holder ceases to be employed and the Directors deem the option holder to be a ‘Good Leaver’ the options can be exercised (to the extent that they have vested) within six months from the date of cessation of employment.

The Group has used the Black-Scholes formula to calculate the fair value of outstanding share options. The assumptions applied to the Black-Scholes formula for share options issued and the fair value per option are detailed in the table below for options issued. Volatility was calculated using historical share price information for the six months prior to the date of grant.

The volatility of the share price was estimated from historical share price movements over the period prior to grant equal to the expected life of the options.

EMI approved share option scheme

At 31 December 2025 outstanding options granted over ordinary shares under the EMI approved share option scheme were as follows;

5,254,486

The options with performance conditions only vest when the market price of the Company's shares reaches double the exercise price for a period of at least five consecutive trading days.

The weighted average exercise price for the Group’s options outstanding under the unapproved share option scheme at 31 December 2025 was 3.75p (2024: 3.75p).

The weighted average remaining contractual life of the share options under the unapproved scheme outstanding at 31 December 2025 was 5.2 years (2024: 5.7 years).

The options lapse either immediately on the employment of the holder ceasing, or if the holder is deemed a “Good Leaver” under the terms of the scheme, six months after employment ceasing.

The Group has used a Monte Carlo model to calculate the fair value of the share options due to the performance criteria conditions for vesting. The assumptions applied to Monte Carlo model for share options issued and the resultant fair value per option are detailed in the table below for options. Volatility was calculated using historical share price information for the six months prior to the date of grant.

The volatility of the share price was estimated from historical share price movements over the period prior to grant equal to the expected life of the options.

Share warrants

On 25 April 2023, in connection with the acquisition of Acuity Risk Management, the Company issued certain advisers with warrants as follows:

The Group has used the Black-Scholes formula to calculate the fair value of outstanding warrants. The assumptions applied to the Black-Scholes formula for share warrants issued and the fair value per warrant are detailed in the table below for warrants issued. The whole fair value of the warrants was recognised in 2023.

The volatility of the share price was estimated from historical share price movements over the period prior to grant equal to the expected life of the warrants.

During 2025 the Company issued warrants to subscribers of new shares as follows:

The warrants have an accelerator clause whereby if the closing mid-market price of the Company’s shares is sustained at greater than 2.00p for five consecutive trading days within twelve months of issue, the Company may give notice for the holder to exercise or forfeit the warrants.

The Group has used the Black-Scholes formula to calculate the fair value of outstanding warrants. The assumptions applied to the Black-Scholes formula for share warrants issued and the fair value per warrant are detailed in the table below for warrants issued.

The volatility of the share price was estimated from historical share price movements over the period prior to grant equal to the expected life of the warrants.

Pensions

The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all qualifying employees. The assets of the scheme are held separately from those of the Group in an independently administered fund. Employer contributions for the year were £61,000 (2024: £74,000), of which £7,000 (2024: £10,000) was payable at the end of the year.
