Chairman's statement
Dr John Rigg
Overview of results
In my Chairman's statement accompanying the first half year
results for the previous year, I explained that a weak first half
had been entirely the result of "external factors beyond our
control". I also said that we were expecting a strong upturn in the
second half, and this in fact proved to be the case. The
disappointing results announced above are the result of similar
circumstances and influences as those we experienced during the
first half of last year but significantly worse. We had expected
this would not be the case, but unfortunately, once again due to
factors entirely outside our control, this has not proved to be
so.
Now to the excellent news. During the last two months, we have
succeeded in winning four new longer-term lines of business, with
prestigious clients in the public sector. All four have now been
formally awarded. One major result of this will be that the cliff
edge which we have experienced, particularly in the last two years
at March 31st will not affect us in future as we will be able to
continue working seamlessly through that period. This should
transform our second half results for the current year, and in
particular the full year results for the next financial year and
going forward. I personally have never felt so confident and
enthusiastic about the state and prospects of the Company for more
than 20 years.
Unlike many firms in our sector who have sought to lay off
staff, the Company held its nerve and used its strong position to
maintain staffing levels in line with those established over the
last two years. Without doing so, our successful efforts to secure
the long-term pipeline would have been severely undermined. We are
now vigorously pursuing the recruitment of a substantial number of
the very best professional staff.
The model of the business reflects a commitment to the use of
permanent staff to produce the very best outcomes for our clients.
Steps were taken during the period to improve and increase our
work-winning rate to sustain higher headcount levels and the
associated risk of bench costs arising from the model.
Our strategy concentrates on providing outstanding digital
consultancy services to Central Government clients and their
agencies. In addition, we are continuing to develop our footprint
in the UK's law enforcement arena including both national bodies
and local forces. Whilst we have other clients within the
portfolio, our work-winning efforts have been focused on these two
important sectors where our track record and strength in depth
allows us to make a real impact on society.
I believe that we are at the beginning of a period of increasing
major success and growth. I have no doubt that other significant
client wins will follow in due course.
Outlook
I can do no better than to repeat and confirm what I said last
year that "The vital signs of the Company, including cash, margins
and control of overheads, continue to be extremely robust. The
quality of our technological expertise is constantly improving and
our business is based upon the reality of delivering working
effective systems and advice to meet real client needs and policy
demands. As a result, the level of internal morale, client
confidence and accumulated goodwill also continues to strengthen.
Our staff turnover is very low."
Underlying this impressive level of success is the superb
quality of our people at every level.
Business highlights
The first half saw several projects concluding successfully,
including two separate engagements around the implementation of
legislation within policing, the completion of development on a
major project at DfT, and the successful handover of a discovery
project to an existing team at our OPSS client.
Our consultants on the MoJ project management service continued
to deliver outcomes in areas as diverse as prisons expansion,
legacy justice systems replacements, and deployment of Wi-Fi across
the probation estate.
Within law enforcement, we delivered a common user interface
template for a national policing organisation and completed the fit
out of regional operations room capabilities. We also started work
to introduce a new records management system into a pioneering
police force. Our policing footprint expanded as we took on Kent
and Essex police forces, helping them to develop their contact
management strategy.
For DEZNZ, we successfully moved the digital service for the
Clean Heat Market Mechanism (CHMM) from alpha to beta, passing the
GDS assessment in record time.
The recent significant contract wins involve providing digital
expertise across domains including programme and project
management, business architecture and business analysis, and
full-spectrum digital delivery capabilities (including the
implementation of AI co-pilots within corporate functions) to
support ongoing pipelines of work at our new clients.
In November, at the highly prestigious BCS UK IT Industry Awards
ceremony attended by many of the best known names in our industry,
our work in two separate projects was rewarded when we received two
top prizes: for Digital Transformation Project of the Year with
MoJ, and for User Experience (UX) Project of the Year with DfT. We
were also delighted to see one of our staff recognised as the
Rising Star of the Year at the same award ceremony. No other
company at the ceremony received as many as three awards.
Dividend
The Board now have the confidence to maintain the interim
dividend at the same level as last year at 2p.
Employees
I would like to thank all our staff, both our long serving
employees and first rate recent recruitees, who have performed
excellently despite some of the most challenging external
circumstances the Company has experienced in its 35 year
history.

Notes to the financial statements for the six months ended 30
September 2023
1. Principal accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of
the financial statements are set out below. The policies have been
consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise
stated.
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
UK adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and
the provisions of the Companies Act 2006.
The comparative financial information for the year ended 31
March 2023 included within this report does not constitute the full
statutory accounts for that period. The statutory Annual Report and
Financial Statements for 2023 have been filed with the Registrar of
Companies. The Independent Auditor's Report on the Annual Report
and Financial Statements for 2023 was unqualified, did not draw
attention to any matters by way of emphasis, and did not contain a
statement under 498(2) or 498(3) of the Companies Act 2006.
The financial information for the half years ended 30 September
2023 and 30 September 2022 does not constitute statutory accounts
within the meaning of section 434(3) of the Companies Act 2006 and
has been neither audited nor reviewed pursuant to guidance issued
by the Auditing Practices Board.
These financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis.
These financial statements have been prepared on a historical
cost basis and are presented in pounds sterling, generally rounded
to the nearest thousand, the functional currency of the
Company.
Going Concern
The Group continues to operate an efficient low-cost and cash
generative model. For the six months ended 30 September 2023, the
Group has not utilised any external debt or lending facilities
(2022: nil) with no exposure to bad debts in the period. Cash
balances have reduced to GBP2.6m at the balance sheet date (2022:
GBP4.4m), which reflects a total dividend paid in the 6 months
period of GBP0.7m (2022 GBP0.7m). The future cash position remains
robust.
The going concern assessment made at the year ended 31 March
2023 is still relevant to both current and future trading
expectations. This going concern assessment included in particular
a reverse stress test model which included the most extreme
scenario possible with all current client contracts discontinued at
expiry, with no extension or replacement and with no cost
mitigation. Following a review of these assessments in light of
current trading performance and cash flow forecasts for the next 12
months, the Directors have concluded that the Group would have
sufficient headroom and cash balances to continue in operation.
After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in
operational existence for the foreseeable future and at least
twelve months from the date of approval of the financial
statements. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern
basis in preparing the half year accounts.
New standards, interpretations and amendments
The accounting policies applied in these financial statements
are as applied in the annual report and accounts for the year ended
31 March 2023.
2. Revenue
The Group operates solely in the UK. All material revenues are
generated in the UK.
In accordance with IFRS 15, the Group disaggregates revenue by
contract type as management believe this best depicts how the
nature, timing and uncertainty of the Group's revenue and cash
flows are affected by economic factors. Accordingly, the following
table disaggregates the Group's revenue by contract type:

associated with each.

------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- -------------------
At end of the period 103 163 108
------------------------------- ------------------------------- ------------------------------- -------------------
Deferred tax assets have been recognised in respect of tax
losses where the Directors believe it is probable that the assets
will be recovered. This expectation of recovery is calculated by
modelling estimates of future taxable profits that can be offset
with historic trading losses brought forward. A deferred tax asset
amounting to GBP689,022 (2022: GBP530,000) has not been recognised
in respect of trading losses of GBP2,756,089 (2022: GBP2,125,000),
which can be carried forward indefinitely.
Deferred tax assets have not been recognised for potential
temporary differences arising from unexercised share options and
restricted stock units of GBP114k (2022: GBP107k) and general
provisions of GBP27k (2022: GBP24k) as the Directors believe it is
not certain these assets will be recovered.
The UK Budget on 3 March 2021 announced an increase in the UK
corporation tax rate from 19% to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023.
The effect of the rate increase is reflected in the consolidated
financial statements as has been substantively enacted at the
balance sheet date.
5. Dividends
The Directors propose an interim dividend for the period to 30
September 2023 of 2p per share (2022 interim dividend: 2p per
share).
The Company will pay the dividend on 31 January 2024 to all
shareholders on the register of members of the Company at the close
of business on 5 January 2024. The ex-dividend date will be on 4
January 2024.
6. Earnings per ordinary share
Earnings per share have been calculated on the profit for the
year divided by the weighted average number of shares in issue
during the period based on the following:
Unaudited 30 Unaudited 30 Audited 31 March
