About us

We are a leading digital health company committed to improving 
the infrastructure of care delivery globally. We are on a buy and 
build journey to create an end-to end suite of products that 
support every hospital outpatient pathway. Our products facilitate 
efficient patient and care team engagement, combining digital with 
in‑person care delivery – we call this ‘flexible care’.

Our products power remote consultations, capture patient reported 
data and empower patients to self-manage their care pathway. We 
are passionate about designing around the needs of the patient 
and we sharply focus on the delivery of cost and efficiency benefits 
to hospitals, regional care systems and governments.

Used at scale by national and regional healthcare systems, our 
applications are relied upon by hundreds of thousands of clinicians 
and millions of patients across almost every hospital in the British Isles.

  Annual Recurring Revenue (“ARR”) is defined as annualised contracted Software-as-a-Service (“SaaS”) fee. ARR  is calculated as the annually recurring 
licence fees from contracts existing at 31 March 2022 that expire on 1 April 2022 or later. It represents the annualised value of the recurring revenue base that 
is expected to be carried into future periods, and its growth is a forward-looking indicator of reported recurring revenue growth. ARR differs from recognised 
revenue due to the timing of revenue recognition, which includes amounts for partial years based on contract start dates, whereas ARR is an annualised 
amount. Recognised revenue also includes non-recurring non-SaaS fees.
 Revenue from customer contracts is stated after the application of IFRS3 being a fair value adjustment relating to the deferred revenue acquired as 
part of the Attend Anywhere Pty Limited acquisition in June 2021 and the acquisitions of Zesty Limited (June 2020) and Horizon Strategic Partners Limited 
(November 2019). Had this adjustment not been applied, pro-forma recognised revenue from customer contracts for the year would have been £12.1m 
(2021: £1.5m). Refer to the financial review on page 8 for further details.

3   Restated for the impact of the application of IFRS 3 in the prior period. Refer to Note 6 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

 Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for exceptional items, share based payment adjustments and other non-cash items. Before the application of IFRS 3 
relating to fair value adjustments made to deferred revenue, acquired as part of the Attend Anywhere PTY Limited acquisition in June 2021 and the 
acquisitions of Zesty Limited (June 2020) and Horizon Strategic Partners Limited (November 2019), and adding back the fair value movement in contingent 
consideration, Pro-Forma Adjusted EBITDA for the year was £Nil (2021:£(4.1)m). Refer to the financial review on page 8 for further details.
  Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended 31 March 2021 has been restated to take into account the effects of share based payments and the impact of the 
application of IFRS 3 in the prior period. Refer to the Financial Review on page 8 for further details, and Note 6 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 
further details on the prior period adjustment.

Chair’s statement

renewals of NHS England contracts for Induction Attend 
Anywhere in March 2022, and some of these contracts 
renewing and paying more than 1 year in advance, the 
Group’s cash position has further improved post-period 
end.

The Attend Anywhere acquisition provided the business 
with national scale and a strong market position in an area 
of prominent growth and investment. In February 2022, 
NHS England issued a delivery plan6 to tackle the backlog 
of elective care and our leading products, Induction Zesty 
and Induction Attend Anywhere, are well placed to support 
this initiative with their strong market positions in the UK. 
However, the backlog of waiting times in elective care 
following the COVID-19 pandemic is not confined to the 
NHS and represents an opportunity for Induction globally. 
We are well positioned to help ease these global stresses 
by integrating Induction products into existing healthcare 
systems – the precise strategic approach represents an 
immediate focus for the Board.

It is a particularly exciting, albeit challenging, time for 
Induction and for the executive team and Board – the 
demand for our products, both in the UK and globally has 
never been stronger and the company, the management 
team and the Board have to evolve to meet this challenge. 
Induction is a small, relatively fast growth business with 
many of the growing pains associated with scale up. 

As we grow we will need to ensure that we have the 
products, systems and internal processes that meet our 
customers’ and management’s needs. Above all, we will 
need to attract and retain high quality and experienced 
people at every level in order to ensure that we hit our 
commitments to our shareholders. In a tight labour 
market, particularly in our field of digital expertise, this is 
challenging.

I look forward to working with James and the whole Board 
as we deliver on our promises and build Induction into the 
digital healthcare platform of choice. I also look forward 
to working closely with you, our stakeholders, as we seek 
to build on the value of your investment – I anticipate 
speaking with many of you over the coming months. 

Christopher Samler 
Non-Executive Chairman  
28 November 2022

I am delighted to have recently joined 
the Induction leadership team following a 
successful year for the Group. The global 
COVID-19 pandemic has significantly 
accelerated the shift, that was already 
underway, towards digitising care delivery. 
Throughout the world, providers and 
patients expect greater flexibility in all 
aspects of their life, including in the way they 
deliver and receive care. Induction is at the 
heart of this transformation.

Induction delivered a record year for trading in FY22, driven 
mainly by the acquisition of Attend Anywhere, leading to 
substantial increases in both revenue and contracted ARR 
(Annually Recurring Revenue). Equally, excluding the effect 
of the Attend Anywhere acquisition, the group delivered 
organic ARR growth of 100% year on year (£4m (2021: £2m)). 
The Group made a loss before tax of £(9.6)m (2021: £(8.1)m 
restated).

The increased losses incurred reflect the Groups continued 
investment to allow it to scale and grow ARR and revenue 
in future years. In addition, following the placing to raise 
£25m in June 2021, net cash as at 31 March 2022 improved 
substantially from £2.5m to £7.5m. Following strong

Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022Strategic Report

CEO statement

A transformational year

the future potential for the Induction Attend Anywhere 
platform in other non-health public sector settings, we are 
mindful that our focus is in healthcare.

FY22 was a challenging year for our Induction Zesty patient 
engagement platform. Existing customers relied heavily 
on Induction Zesty during the pandemic, however new 
business wins fell short of pre-pandemic forecasts as NHS 
hospitals were understandably pre-occupied with treating 
COVID-19 cases. 

I am pleased to report, however, a positive shift in 
market sentiment as health systems around the world 
are now focused on post-COVID recovery. Induction 
Zesty is increasingly playing a critical role in reducing 
elective waiting lists, a key economic and political focus. 
Contracted ARR more than doubled year on year to 
£1.5m, with much of this growth occurring in the last 
quarter of FY22. There has been significant investment 
during the year in Induction Zesty capabilities and further 
development planned and we are confident Induction 
Zesty will deliver continued growth in FY23, despite a 
challenging economic and political environment

Our market focus
We remain focused on ambulatory patients in hospitals – 
outpatients. We continue to see consolidation and growth 
opportunities in secondary acute, specialist tertiary, 
community and mental health care settings. 

Overall, we see attainable recurring annual revenues of 
between £30m and £35m over the next 3 years across the 
British Isles for our current suite of products.

We are, at heart, a healthcare company. We remain open 
to partnerships that deliver our products, out of the box, 
into other public sector organisations, but our core focus 
will remain within healthcare and we will avoid product 
customisations for non-healthcare customers that take us 
away from our core health product vision.

Annually recuring revenue
We remain committed to building our recurring revenue 
streams, via multi-year licensing of our software products, 
operating a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) business 
model. Whilst we do generate non-recurring set-up 
revenue via our implementation teams, we are resistant to 
building a large professional services function, preferring to 
work with specialist partners.

Another key aspect of our strategy is to focus on the 
supply of software products to existing healthcare 
providers, as opposed to directly employing care teams 
and delivering care ourselves. In doing this, we are looking 
to preserve the high margins and recurring revenue 
streams associated with a SaaS business.

31 March 2022 saw the end of a positive year 
for the Induction Group. We delivered on all 
our key financial metrics, ending the period 
in line with market expectations. 

This performance was mainly driven by the acquisition of 
Attend Anywhere Pty Ltd (“Induction Attend Anywhere”), 
completed in June 2021, adding £11m of ARR and £1.1m of 
profit before tax7. 

Revenue increased to £7.9m (2021: £1.4m (restated)), and 
although the Group recorded a loss before tax of £9.6m 
(2021: £8.1m (restated)), this is as a result of our deliberate 
continued investment in key areas of the business, as well 
as integrating Attend Anywhere.

A significant proportion of Induction Attend Anywhere 
revenues are generated from our contracts with NHS 
England. Immediately post-acquisition, Induction Attend 
Anywhere held contracts with 172 English NHS trusts – all of 
which expired in March 2022. This presented obvious risk to 
the group, so we were delighted to renew contracts with 
94% of existing English NHS customers post period end, 
which secured 86% of group recurring revenues by value.

The majority of FY23 NHS England contracts for Induction 
Attend Anywhere were renewed on either a two or three 
year term, de-risking group recurring revenues moving 
forwards. 

In November 2021 we won a contract to supply the 
Department of Work and Pensions (DWP) through our 
partner Involve Visual Collaboration Limited (“Involve”) 
to support the virtualisation of the UK benefits system 
using Induction Attend Anywhere. Whilst we are exploring 

7 

 Profit before tax contributed by Induction Attend Anywhere is taken after IFRS 3 adjustments related to deferred revenue of £4.1m related to the 
acquisition. Refer to the Financial Review on page 8 for further information on these adjustments.

CEO statement (continued)

Video consultations – Induction Attend Anywhere
Whilst the COVID-19 pandemic created overnight demand 
for remote consultations, we remain focused on ensuring 
Induction Attend Anywhere’s value proposition is both 
clearly communicated and successfully enhanced over the 
coming months. 

A key area of development during FY23 will be our 
customer success function and we will continue to invest 
in the best talent available to drive this important function 
forwards. With a large and disparate user base across 
NHS England, it’s vital we engage with customers to 
understand changing usage requirements and close the 
loop efficiently between customers, product development 
and delivery.

Microsoft Teams still remains our clear competitor within 
secondary care and we will continue to invest in product 
development, prioritising new features that widen the gap 
further between specialist consulting platforms (Induction 
Attend Anywhere) and mainstream business conferencing 
applications (Teams, Zoom). Integration into underlying 
EMR systems, via our HealthStream platform, is a good 
example of this.

Digital patient engagement – Induction Zesty
As Patient Engagement Platforms gain increasing national 
strategic relevance to the NHS, we are engaged in several 
key projects, both regionally and nationally. We are seeing 
tangible evidence that read and write integrations into 
hospital EMR systems (Cerner, System C) are a key selling 
point and direct value driver – this ‘integrated’ strategy will 
continue to be a focus for Induction Zesty and our other 
product lines.

One of the current digital initiatives at many NHS hospitals 
is patient initiated follow up booking (“PIFU”). It’s estimated 
that as many as 50% of hospital follow up appointments 
allocated to patients are unnecessary. PIFU workstreams 
are aiming to allow patients to book only if they need an 
appointment, supported by ongoing remote monitoring 
to effectively manage clinical risk. Induction Zesty has 
a complex rules engine that supports this emerging 
workflow, creating a unique selling point for the platform. 
Working alongside Cerner and Palantir, we expect to 
launch a fully automated PIFU platform during FY23. 
Our strategy is to lead the market on a fully automated 
offering, differentiating our product from other request 
based manual offerings.

There is clear potential synergy between Induction Attend 
Anywhere and Induction Zesty. We are moving forwards 
with our cross-sell and upsell strategies and will continue 
to focus our development effort on tighter integration 
between these two products.

Our clinical apps business
Our clinical apps, Induction Guidance and Induction 
Switch, continue to enjoy user growth and increasing 
engagement, ending the year on 288k and 289k users 
respectively. ARR grew by 8% for Induction Guidance, 
supported by a high contract renewal rate amongst our 
122 NHS hospital customers. UK market growth, however, 
has proved more challenging for Induction Guidance.

Given the relatively minor contribution our clinical apps 
make to overall group revenues and the solid traction 
we are seeing with our patient facing products, we are 
carefully considering the role of clinical apps within the 
group moving forwards.

An enterprise ‘flexible care’ platform, fit for global 
scale
There is an emerging health IT product category that 
aims to put the patient in the centre of their care delivery. 
Currently this category contains several product types 
including Telemedicine, Patient Portals and Virtual Wards. 
The core capabilities of each of these overlap to a large 
degree. Our product vision is based on the view that, as 
demand for digital services rises, these product types will 
converge into enterprise platforms that deliver value end 
to end over the care pathway.

We continue to execute our buy, build and partner 
strategy with this product vision in mind.

International growth
The global digital health market is predicted to grow by US 
$2.8bn in 2021 to US $7.8bn in 20258, as the need for more 
flexible healthcare options become a necessity due to user 
behavior changes and organisational efficiency 
requirements. 

We see growth potential in new geographical markets and 
have set this as a major strategic focus for FY23. Given 
our scale within the UK NHS, now is a good time to market 
our products in new territories. Most developed (and many 
developing) health economies have the same post-
pandemic challenges as the UK, especially those around 
rapidly increasing hospital waiting lists.

Our strategic pillars for growth
 • Consolidate our domestic position – we will continue 
to invest in and refine our sales, commercial, delivery 
and customer success capabilities – ensuring we stay 
ahead of competitors and deliver strong organic ARR 
growth.

 • Grow our domestic and international channels to 

market – Partners are playing an increasingly important 
role in our growth story. Our partnership with Cerner, 
for example, will deliver more than 50% of Induction 
Zesty’s growth during FY23. As we scale, we attract 
more partners, creating positive momentum that further

Post-year end we also saw Chris Spencer step down from 
his position as Chair. I would like to thank Chris for the 
great support he has provided to bring the Group to the 
strong position it is in today. We welcome Christopher 
Samler into the role and I look forward to working 
alongside him and learning from him and his valuable 
expertise as we drive the business forward. 

Outlook
It’s been a transformational year for Induction and we 
remain energised about the future prospects for the 
Group. Our market segment is maturing rapidly, driven 
by an acute need for digital transformation in hospitals 
around the world. 

Our steadfast focus on working alongside existing health 
providers as opposed to directly competing with them in a 
more disruptive manner is delivering results. A high margin 
and scalable SaaS operation remains our core driver as a 
business.

As the world recovers from the pandemic, the pace of 
change is creating significant opportunities for companies 
in our sector – Induction is well positioned to capture 
global market share in the coming years.

James Balmain  
Chief Executive Officer  
28 November 2022

widens our market reach and enhances our product 
capabilities. The recently announced (post-period end) 
VAR agreement with System C further supports our 
strategy.

 •

Invest in and deliver our integrated product strategy 
– As a product company, a core tenant of our strategy 
is a single, enterprise product that leads the growing 
digital patient engagement segment.

 • Acquisitions and partnerships to drive international 

expansion – As a rapidly growing but still early-stage 
sector, our market is fragmented, with many small 
and medium sized companies in each of the major 
world markets. We see acquisitions and partnerships 
with VARs and other similar providers as a highly valid 
method to enter new markets with scale and pace.

People
We continue to invest in talent and are more focused than 
ever on building our company culture. As companies ‘exit 
lockdown’, we are working hard to define a rewarding 
and inclusive hybrid working environment. During the 
year we began the process of rolling out a group wide 
performance management and incentive scheme, ensuring 
everyone at Induction is aligned to the future success of 
the Group.

Under the leadership of Dave Williams, our Group Chief 
Product and Technical Officer (previously at Just Eat), we 
completed a global re-organisation of our four product 
and technology teams around the world, who account for 
over 80% of the Group total headcount. Key managers 
now have global, multi-product responsibility, removing 
any sense of silos by product and we are now better 
placed to grow our business internationally and integrate 
future acquisitions. 

More recently we’ve attracted a highly experienced 
Chief Growth Officer, Paul Tambeau, who is leading our 
sales, marketing, customer success and international 
development teams.

Our Products

Induction 
Attend Anywhere

Acquired in June 2021, Induction 
Attend Anywhere is the UK market 
leader in secondary care video 
consultations. It helps hospitals, 
regional health systems and 
other customers deliver video 
consultations to patients and service 
users as a normal part of day-to-
day operations. In the healthcare 
setting, Induction Attend Anywhere 
is fully configurable to the hospital 
environment, our one-click-to-clinic 
solution is designed to mirror existing 
clinical workflows with rigorous 
adherence to patient confidentiality 
and data requirements. 

Induction Attend Anywhere 
offers several critical benefits 
over mainstream business video 
conferencing platforms, benefits 
which continue to be proven at 
scale. Patient and citizen onboarding 
is friction free, with no plugins, 
downloads or user accounts 
needed. Communication is end-to-
end encrypted and operates on a 
peer-to-peer basis, avoiding data 

Induction 
Zesty

storage on intermediary servers. Fully 
configurable waiting areas allow 
one joining link to be sent to multiple 
patients – this mirrors traditional 
in-person workflows and is in stark 
contrast to mainstream conferencing 
platforms that require each attendee 
to have their own, separate, link.

In October 2021, Edge Health issued 
a report for NHS England and NHS 
Improvement on outpatient video 
consultations. The report9 reviewed 
3 million video consultations on the 
Attend Anywhere platform between 
1 April 2020 and 31 March 2021 
and concluded that the platform 
delivered a range of benefits to 
patients and the NHS. The report 
highlighted the dramatic increase in 
video consultations across 171 NHS 
hospital trusts in England, increasing 
from 5,000 a month in March 2020 to 
340,000 a month a year later.

The report highlighted the following 
benefits of video consultations: 

 • Savings of 4.64 million hours 

(530 years) in patient travel and 
in-hospital waiting times in total 
over the year

 • Savings of £40 million in patient 
travel costs and parking charges 

 • 3 million lost work hours were 
avoided saving the overall 
economy £108m in lost productivity 

 •

 •

 •

14,200 tonnes of greenhouse gas 
emissions avoided due to fewer 
hospital journeys 

11 million fewer “single-use” PPE 
items, such as face masks, were 
consumed, saving the NHS over 
£1.1 million

1,730 hospital-acquired infections 
were avoided (not including 
COVID-19 infections) due to fewer 
visits to hospital sites 

Attend Anywhere has been recognised 
for both its patient safety – recently 
winning the HSJ Patient Safety award 
with Moorfields Eye Hospital – and 
environmental benefits.

A digital patient engagement 
platform, Induction Zesty removes 
the friction between hospital care 
teams and patients. When combined 
with other Induction products, 
care teams save significant time 
and patients are treated more 
efficiently and are more engaged 
in their care. Systems integration 
is a key unique selling point (“USP”) 
for the platform – Induction Zesty 
directly integrates with most major 
hospital Electronic Medical Record 
(“EMR”) platforms. This integration 

is key to the platform’s growth as it 
allows care teams to maintain their 
existing workflows. Our integrated 
solution optimises value for Trusts 
and ensures a fully automated 
process for patients to manage their 
hospital appointments, view their 
letters and clinical records, as well 
as provide data remotely via digital 
questionnaires. 

Zesty is known for its accessible, 
easy-to-use functionality and has 
registration rates hitting 70% in some 
Trusts. It recently reached 500k 

unique users, representing a 137% 
YOY growth and demonstrating its 
power to drive digital adoption as 
more Trusts onboard.

Zesty is on an upward trajectory and 
recently signed four Trusts within 
South-West London. The advanced 
integration capabilities and strategic 
partnerships with Cerner and 
SystemC place Induction in a strong 
position to support the government-
led drive for patient portals in all UK 
hospitals.

UK, utilised by around 290k clinicians 
across the NHS, Ireland, Australia 
and South Africa. The crowdsourced 
directory enables users to easily 

source, communicate and share 
information with other healthcare 
professionals, allowing them to bypass 
legacy hospital switchboards.

Used almost 20 million times in the last 
twelve months, the app saves hospital 

staff significant time, improving the 
overall efficiency of care delivery. 

Induction recently introduced a Trust

Induction 
HealthStream

Induction HealthStream is a 
proprietary data integration 
engine which enables two-way 
communication between Induction 
products and the underlying EMR 
systems used in most hospitals today. 
Increasing the number of supported 
EMR platforms remains a key focus for 
the company, as each new integration 
increases our market reach, our 
competitive advantage and opens 
the door to future reseller agreements.

Currently, Induction HealthStream 
exclusively supports other Induction 
products. However, we see value in 
providing ‘integration as a service’ 
to other complimentary third-party 

platforms, especially when they 
enhance our core product offering.

Our ability to integrate into a growing 
number of EMR platforms is key to 
our growth as a business. Alongside 
adding value to the significant 
investment in IT hospitals have 
already made, integration allows 
care teams to carry on using familiar 
and embedded workflows. This 
preservation of workflow is a critical 
element in scaling digital technologies 
in healthcare and a powerful USP for

Financial review

Solid topline growth and successful acquisition integration. Excellent base 
for further expansion

non-cash movement of deferred 
revenue to goodwill on the group 
balance sheet and does not affect 
future years. The impact of this in the 
year was £4.2m (2021: £0.1m). Had the 
IFRS 3 adjustment not been applied 
Group revenues would have been 
£12.1m on a pro-forma basis for the 
year (2021: £1.5m).

Reported revenue from customer 
contracts for Induction Zesty grew to 
£1.5m (2021: £0.8m (restated)10). The 
principal driver for this growth has been 
the drive to digitise healthcare and 
booking portals in NHS England.

Revenues for Induction Attend 
Anywhere, for the 10 months post 
acquisition, were £ 5.7m post the IFRS 3 
deferred revenue fair value adjustment 
and £9.8m on a pro-forma basis.

Reported revenue from customer 
contracts for Induction Guidance 
has remained steady at £0.6m (2021: 
£0.6m). Growth has been slower in FY22 
than expected. 

Contracts acquired as part of the 
Induction Attend Anywhere acquisition 
for NHS England and NHS Scotland 
were one-year contracts which were 
due for renewal at 31 March 2022. 

NHS Scotland renewed for 1 year and 
94% of trusts in NHS England renewed, 
many renewing for periods of 2 or 3 
years. To secure the multi-year deals 
small discounts were agreed resulting 
in revenue renewals by value of 86%.

To further illustrate the in-year effect 
of IFRS fair value adjustments, at the 
start of FY23, contracted revenue 
for Induction Attend Anywhere, post 
the NHS Scotland and NHS England 
renewals was £11.6m, despite renewals 
for NHS England contracts at 86% of 
the prior year value.

In November 2021 a contract was 
agreed with the Department of 
Work and Pensions (DWP), this was 
a contract for two years with two 
subsequent 12-month extensions built 
in (a 2+1+1 deal) for up to £1.3m of 
annual revenues.

Induction Switch user numbers have 
increased in year although there 
has been limited sales traction 
within the year. The carrying value of 
Switch is currently £nil and the Board 
determined that the value of goodwill 
and intangible assets should remain at 
this value (see note 18).

Revenue
For the year ended 31 March 2022, 
revenue from customer contracts, post 
IFRS 3 fair value adjustments, was 
£7.9m (2021: £1.4m, restated10).

Under IFRS, deferred revenue is 
required to be fair valued. This is a 

Revenue from customer contracts, post IFRS 3 adjustments in respect of fair value, is as follows:

Strategic Report

Both Induction Guidance and Induction Switch form our 
clinical apps business and whilst user growth on both 
platforms has been strong, the board are considering 
the role these apps play in generating significant group 
revenues moving forwards, given the strong traction we are 
seeing from our patient facing platforms Induction Attend 
Anywhere and Induction Zesty.

Operating Costs
Development expenses increased to £5.9m (2021: £1.9m). This 
relates to the increase in headcount and operating costs 
following the acquisition of Induction Attend Anywhere, a 
full year of trading post-acquisition of Induction Zesty, and 
continued investment in the development team particularly 
for Induction Zesty. Development costs are presented net 
of capitalised software development costs. The Group 
capitalises software development costs which depreciate 
over three to five years, resulting in capitalisation of £3.1m 
(2021: £1.7m). 
Administrative expenses increased to £7.3m (2021: 
£4.9m), (restated)12). Again, this relates to the acquisition 
of Induction Attend Anywhere and full year trading of 
Induction Zesty. It also reflects the expansion of the senior 
management and leadership functions of the group, 
fundraise and acquisition-related transaction costs of 
£0.5m (2021: £0.4m), and share-based payment charge of 
£0.6m (2021: £0.7m).
Sales and marketing expenses increased to £1.2m (2021: 
£0.6m). This reflects the investment in the group-wide 
commercial functions of the Group to acquire further 
market share.
Excluding the results of Induction Attend Anywhere, 
development costs for the Group were £4.2m (2021: £1.9m), 
again reflecting the investment in the development 
team for Induction Zesty. Administration costs were 
£6.1m (2021: £4.9m (restated12)), reflecting the expansion 
of the senior management and leadership functions of 
the Group. Sales and marketing costs were £1.2m (2021: 
£0.6m) and relates purely to investment in group-wide 
commercial functions.
Reported loss before tax for the year was £9.6m (2021: £8.1m 
restated).

Core performance measures
Core performance measures are alternative performance 
measures (APM) which are adjusted and non-IFRS 
measures. These measures cannot be derived directly 
from our consolidated financial statements. We believe 
that the following non-IFRS performance measures, when 
provided in combination with reported performance, will 
provide investors, analysts and other stakeholders with 
helpful complementary information to better understand 
our financial performance and our financial position from 
period to period. The measures are not substitutable for 
IFRS results and should not be considered superior to 
results presented in accordance with IFRS.
We considered the adjusting items, including 
explanations of why they were either not related to the 
underlying performance of the business or impacted 
the comparability of the Group’s results year-on-year. 

We also reviewed the FRC’s guidance, and considered 
adjusting items used by the Group’s peers and have 
concluded that the appropriate disclosure of those items 
has been included.
The Group incurred several exceptional items during 
the year as per the table below which shows adjusted 
operating profit /(loss) before depreciation, amortisation, 
impairment, share based payments and exceptional costs 
of £(4.2)m (2021: £(4.3)m (restated12).

1  These costs are directly attributable to business combinations and are 
excluded from underlying performance as they would not have been 
incurred had the business combination not occurred. They do not relate 
to the underlying trading of the Group and are added back to aid 
comparability of the Group’s profitability year-on-year.

2  As a result of applying IFRS 3 in accounting for acquisitions, the Group is 
required to determine the fair value of all acquired assets and Liabilities 
at the date of acquisition. This includes determining the fair value of the 
contract liabilities (“deferred income”) of the acquiree. The fair value of 
the contract liabilities (and therefore revenue subsequently recognised) 
was less than the amounts recognised by Attend Anywhere, Zesty and 
Horizon Strategic Partners on a standalone basis, resulting in a fair value 
adjustment of £4.2m related to Attend Anywhere and Zesty (2021: £0.2m 
fair value adjustment related to Zesty and Horizon Strategic Partners). 
This is excluded from pro-forma adjusted EBITDA on the basis that it 
is non-cash and is not representative of the trading performance of 
the business in the period and this exclusion ensures comparability. 
Pro-Forma adjusted EBITDA is also adjusted to add back £Nil (2021: 
£0.9m) fair value movement in contingent consideration.

3  Includes items related to one-time non-recurring executive and senior 
management team restructuring costs (£366k) and other one-off items 
(£38k). Senior management team restructuring costs are added back to 
Adjusted EBITDA due to the fact that these are non-recurring and not 
representative of the underlying performance of the Group.

4  Comparative restated to include share-based payments. Share-based 
payments are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA due to the fact that these 
are non-cash and therefore not representative of the underlying trading 
of the group.

12    This has been restated to take into the account the application of IFRS 3 deferred revenue fair value adjustments and exclusion of share based payments 

as a non-cash item. Please refer to Note 6 for further information.

Trade and other receivables have increased significantly 
in the year due and is reflective the overall increased 
trading during the year. The balance consists of Induction 
Attend Anywhere invoices for services performed unpaid at 
31 March 2022. 

There is an increase in Trade and other payables in the 
year due to increased operating costs and accruals 
following the acquisition of Induction Attend Anywhere. 
Costs relate to hosting, partner commissions, marketing 
programs and professional fees.

Deferred tax liabilities have increased significantly during 
the year. This is driven by a £3.7m Liability recognised in 
relation to fair value adjustments of intangible assets 
acquired in business combinations.

Current tax receivable has increased to £1.2m (2021: £0.4m) 
and relates to R&D tax credits due for current and prior 
years. These amounts are expected to be received within 
the next 9 months once all tax claims are submitted to 
HMRC. Tax payable relates to taxes due by Induction 
Attend Anywhere in Australia. 

Guy Mitchell 
Chief Financial Officer 
28 November 2022

Adjusted EBITDA for the year was £4.3m (2021: £(4.3)m 
(restated13)). Before allowing for the application of IFRS 
3 pro-forma Adjusted EBITDA) for the year was £0.0m 
(2021: £(4.1)m (restated)). It is important to recognise the 
difference this adjustment makes to the trading results of 
the Group as it is a non-cash accounting adjustment only.

Cash
The Group’s cash position as at 31 March 2022 was £7.5m 
(2021: £2.5m). The operating cash outflow was focused 
on growing commercial teams particularly around 
sales and marketing headcount and also marketing 
campaigns, events and supporting materials. These costs 
are investments in acquiring future market share and are 
incurred ahead of future revenues as the benefit will be 
seen in future years. In addition, while we capitalise a 
large portion of our development costs, shown in investing 
activities, there is a portion that is not capitalised and 
is also included in operating cash outflows above as a 
revenue expense. Again, the benefit of this investment 
will be realised in future years as we deliver our expanded 
product functionality to more customers. Investment outlay 
of £16.8m (2021: £3.7m) includes £13.5m for the acquisition 
payment (net of cash acquired) for Induction Attend 
Anywhere and £3.1m for capitalised development costs 
(2021: £1.7m). 

The Directors regularly monitor cash usage and forecast 
cashflows to ensure that the projected business needs 
are supported, and future acquisitions can be delivered 
as part of the overall strategy to grow the business. The 
liquidity of the Group is sufficient to meet the cash needs 
of the business as they become due, and management 
have performed a going concern analysis with no material 
uncertainties noted (refer to note 1.2 in the consolidated 
financial statements for further information).

Goodwill as at 31 March 2022 of £19.8m (2021: £9.4m) and

acquisitions, Attend Anywhere Pty Ltd during FY22 and 
Zesty Limited and Horizon Strategic Partners Limited in the 
prior years.

The carrying value of Induction Switch goodwill and 
intangible assets has been fully impaired by £1.4m in the

Please refer to page 6-7 for an overview of our products and key non-financial metrics for each of these.

Our market
The urgency of the pandemic fuelled adoption and helped 
to dissipate previous cautiousness to digital technologies 
within healthcare. The world-renowned Moorfields Eye 
Hospital, for example, rolled out our Induction Attend 
Anywhere platform across A&E in just three days at 
the start of lockdown in March 2020. Two years on the 
hospital has conducted over 45,000 consultations, with 
95% positive ratings in patient surveys, and remote is now 
integral to a ‘business-as-usual’ hybrid consulting model. 

Business model
We provide a high margin, SaaS based platform (vs one 
that requires a clinical workforce) which supports and 
digitally transforms the infrastructure of care delivery, with 
commercial benefits that mean we complement and do 
not compete with existing healthcare providers. We can 
operate our platforms at scale without compromising on 
functionality, efficiency or pricing, putting us in a leading 
position in the market. Revenue is primarily generated 
from licensed subscription services, but we also collect 
fees for initial implementation. Work continues to onboard 
implementation partners, reducing our reliance on a 
professional services type model.

We have an accretive M&A strategy, with four acquisitions 
completed since Induction’s Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) 
in 2019. Through this buy-and-build strategy we aim to  
create an end-to-end patient engagement platform 
to support the entire hospital care delivery pathway, 
managing patient data and appointments and enabling 
virtual consultations and self-care guidance. This is 
complemented by our clinical apps business which 
facilitates information sharing between clinical teams.

Our products are designed for integration with existing 
hospital IT systems, a key sales advantage for healthcare 
providers looking to leverage legacy investments and 
avoid workflow disruption. The ability to integrate is the 
reason we have been able to work with so many NHS trusts 
and the acquisition of Attend Anywhere in 2021 is providing 
the national scale for our sales team to drive upsell 
opportunities.

Using this advanced integration capability, we have 
developed valuable partnerships with large incumbent 
health IT suppliers (see Key Partnerships) to facilitate and 
enhance our routes to market. There is significant value in 
EMR integrations, both financially and for efficiency. As part 
of the value-added reseller agreements with our partners, 
such as Cerner Corporation (NASDAQ: CERN), clients can 
access our products without an extensive procurement 
process. Last year these integrations resulted in over 100% 
YOY increase in ARR from our Zesty patient portal and 
going forward give us a strategic advantage responding 
to the government-led drive for national portal coverage. 

Key partnerships
Partnerships help accelerate an efficient route to market 
and are integral to both our growth and customer 
retention strategy. 

Within healthcare we are developing commercial 
partnerships with a number of EMR providers, in some 
cases, giving clients access to our products without a 
protracted procurement process. 

In October 2020, we signed our first Value-Added Reseller 
agreement with the Cerner Corporation (now Oracle 
Cerner), a global healthcare technology company, offering 
Trusts an advanced integration solution between Induction 
Zesty and their EMR Cerner Millennium. Induction is already 
either live or recently contracted in around 30% of Cerner’s 
current sites and is projected to deliver over 50% of 
Induction Zesty’s growth in FY23.

We also recently expanded our partnership with SystemC 
into a long-term reseller agreement with potential to 
integrate Zesty into EMRs at their 27 NHS Trust sites. 

Our third key reseller agreement is with Involve Visual 
Collaboration Limited, an established UK IT provider which 
specialises in virtual communication solutions for public 
sector organisations.

We are also creating a broad ecosystem of product 
partners, collaborating with market leaders such as 
Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (“AWS”) and ATOS. We 
target partners to fulfil specialist product needs, create 
new integrated offers to further embed with existing 
clients, as well as tap new business opportunities via co-
marketing initiatives. Collaborating with often globally 
recognised corporations, and their existing networks, 
further underpins our credibility as we enter new territories. 

Our ESG journey
We are committed to building diverse team at Induction 
Group. The Group is working hard to create a culture of 
inclusion and diversity where all employees are treated 
and valued equally. Our focus is on:

 •

recruiting and retaining high calibre employees; 

 • developing our team to create a culture which offers 
opportunities to broaden skill levels and capabilities; 

 • building a diverse culture;

 • providing a safe and stable working environment; 

 •

 •

recognising performance; and

leveraging our capabilities at every opportunity.

Induction is all about our people, and we aim to ensure 
they have the tools and development to succeed in their 
role. The Group is committed to providing our staff with 
career progression and training to the requirements of 
roles. A key aspect of developing the success of the Group

is to support an open culture and encourage the mix of 
cultures and business practices across the Group. 

indirectly, through its consumption of supplies and 
equipment including office hardware. 

We create an ethical working environment for our 
workforce, promoting honesty, transparency and duty 
of care across the entire workforce. The Company 
provides a working environment which meets all legislative 
requirements and provide all the necessary training and 
support for employees to operate safely within it. 

Our workforce follows our Anti-bribery and Corruption 
policy, and Whistleblowing Policy as part of the staff 
induction and ongoing training. 

We provide appropriate remuneration for responsibilities 
and equal opportunities for development and career 
advancements. The Company ensures opportunities are 
available to staff to build their breadth and depth of 
experience. 

It is also important to note how our already embedded 
attitude to flexible working allowed the Group to continue 
to provide an effective work from home environment to 
our employees. We continue to be a predominantly work-
from-home business and to provide our employees the 
flexibility to strike a good work-life balance.

The Group has a commitment towards preventing slavery 
and human trafficking throughout our supply agreements: 
the Group complies with the Modern Slavery Act 2015 (MSA) 
and adopts a zero-tolerance approach towards slavery 
and human trafficking and expects all those in our supply 
chain (and contractors) to comply with the MSA.

Consumption and the Environment
The Directors endeavour to promote the consumption 
of resources in a manner that fosters the long-term 
sustainability of the business and the environment in 
which it operates and are conscious of the requirement to 
monitor these activities. 

Although the Group has a small number of personnel and 
associated office space, it recognises that it contributes 
directly to carbon emissions through its consumption 
of energy, waste and water, through staff travel and, 

During the year employees worked primarily remotely 
which significantly reduced carbon emissions from 
employees commuting to the office and the Group remains 
committed to continuing to operate a flexible remote 
working structure which will continue to have a beneficial 
effect on carbon emissions. In addition, when employees 
are working in the office the Group pro-actively works 
towards reducing its carbon footprint through the following 
initiatives: 

 • Motion-activated lights in the main office space and 

hallways; 

 • Recycling of plastics, cardboard, coffee capsules, paper 

and tins in the office space; 

 • As a general principle, Induction Board and Committee 

meetings are held remotely when possible 

 • Elimination of paper for Board and Committee meetings 

by using electronic board books. 

Next steps in our ESG journey
Our short-term goal is to understand the sustainability risk 
factors of our day-day activities and translate them into 
a meaningful company-wide ESG strategy that can be 
woven into our main strategic goals. 

In 2023 we aim to: 

 • Deliver ESG training for the Board 

 • Develop a formal ESG policy 

 • Set formal short, medium and longer term non-financial 
goals on material ESG topics that are relevant to our 
business 

Introduce a first round of formal initiatives to reduce ESG 
impacts and manage ESG risk.

Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022Strategic Report

S172 Statement

The following disclosure describes how the Directors have 
had regard to the matters set out in Section 172 (1) (a) to (f) 
and forms the Directors’ statement required under Section 
414CZA of the Companies Act 2016.

Workforce/Colleagues/Our People
Our people are our most valuable asset. We rely on their 
skills, experience, knowledge and diversity to deliver our 
vision to provide technology to the healthcare community.

The Directors are required by the Companies Act 2006 
to act in the way they consider, in good faith would be 
most likely to promote the success of the Company for 
the benefit of its members as a whole and in doing so are 
required to have regard for the following:

 • The likely long-term consequences of any decision;

 • The interests of the Company employees;

 • The need to foster the Company’s business relationships 

with suppliers, customers and others;

 • The impact of the Company’s operations on the 

community and the environment;

 • The desirability of the Company maintaining a 

reputation for high standards of business conduct; and

 • The need to act fairly as between shareholders of the 

Company.

In 2019, the Company adopted the Corporate Governance 
Code for AIM listed Companies from The Quoted 
Companies Alliance (the “QCA Code”). The QCA Code is 
an appropriate code of conduct for the Company’s size 
and stage of development. In the Corporate Governance 
Report, on pages 34 to 36 are comments regarding the 
application of the ten principles of the QCA Code.

The Directors discharge their duties by monitoring and 
assessing stakeholder interests in two primary ways: 

 • Regular information flow from the Executive Directors. 

The Executive Directors are directly involved in day-to-day 
business operations. The Non-Executive Board members 
receive regular written and verbal business updates from 
the Executive Directors via monthly reports, face-to-face 
at regular Board meetings or between Board meetings as 
required. 

 • Direct engagement of Board members. 

Directors are expected, where appropriate, to engage 
directly with, or on behalf of, stakeholders. The Directors 
consider the interests of each of our key stakeholder 
groups when considering their duties under S172 and 
take into account the information gathered through 
engagement with these stakeholders when determining 
the Group’s strategies and key decisions. 

A summary of our stakeholder engagement activities, 
together with the issues and factors the Directors have 
considered in respect of our stakeholders in complying with 
Section 172 (1) (a) to (f) is set out below.

Our employees are key to the Group’s success and we 
rely on a committed workforce to help us achieve our 
short-term and long-term objectives. It is right that our 
employees share in the success of Induction. Accordingly, 
incentive arrangements operate across the Group to 
reward colleagues for the contribution they are making to 
grow the business.

The Board recognises that the interaction between 
the Board, senior management, and staff, is crucial to 
maintaining the welfare of our people and ultimately our 
future success. The pandemic presented unique challenges 
so the executive initiated weekly and monthly meetings to 
provide guidance and support. 

The CEO continues to hold regular meetings with the senior 
management, and each senior executive is encouraged 
to engage fully with their staff. Regular CEO town halls 
are run where James Balmain updates the staff on group 
initiatives and allows for questions from the workforce. This 
forum also provides an opportunity to share knowledge 
across the group and drive collaboration. During the year 
we have worked on updating the employee handbook 
which will be re-launched to all staff across the Human 
Resource system.

We value all staff including contractors and ensure 
our communications are to everyone to ensure there is 
transparency across the business.

While our staff and contractors are happy at Induction, 
there is always room for improvement. Key topics for further 
improvement are opportunities for career progression, 
development and succession planning, and working 
practices. 

The global pandemic has reinforced our belief that a 
diverse and inclusive workforce are not just a social good, 
but a commercial advantage. Fair practices in hiring and 
talent development, as well as maintaining safe and 
supportive company cultures, are key to the Group’s 
success and the encouragement of diverse voices within it.

Shareholders
It is important that our shareholders understand our 
strategic priorities and ambition, their views inform our 
decision-making. 

The Board recognises the critical importance of open 
dialogue and fair consideration of the Group’s members. 
We communicate with our shareholders through our 
annual report and accounts, full-year and half-year results 
announcements, trading updates, AGMs, face-to-face 
meetings and investor roadshows.

S172 Statement (continued)

Customers and users
Our users, whether patients, doctors or NHS trusts, are the 
heart of our business model. So, understanding them and 
their challenges is fundamental to our success. Should 
we fail to deliver an excellent user experience, we will not 
achieve our long-term financial and strategic objectives.

We obtain regular feedback from our users and clients 
to ensure that we are consistently delivering to high 
performance standards. Monitoring and influencing the 
quality of our customers’ experience is key. It is important 
that we do not rely on anecdotal feedback but conduct 
customer surveys and arrange panels on user experience. 

We work hard to ensure issues are resolved quickly through 
our customer service team and, if required, we follow a 
process that is fair, appropriate and one that will stand up 
to scrutiny and challenge. 

We always look at ways to improve our services 
to customers and so seek feedback on all areas 
of the customer journey including product design, 
implementation, and user experience. Our aim is to capture 
these learnings, and once understood and tested, we seek 
to embed any changes into our policies and procedures, 
training and organisation structure. 

Community and the Environment
Our vision is to build a Group that provides technology to 
deliver healthcare more efficiently, and drives our passion 
to support the community and environment. Operating 
with an ethical purpose to develop apps for the healthcare 
community is integral to everything that we do. 

We continue to increase the focus on our impact on 
the environment. We aim to be resilient and responsive 
to change and we are committed to working with our 
employees, clients, supply chain and stakeholders to 
ensure that we are sustainable for the future. 

Like many other businesses, as COVID-19 took hold our 
entire workforce started working remotely and we ended 
our office leases. Post pandemic, with people expected 
to work from home more often, and conscious of the 
carbon emissions (including electricity, water usage and 
travel) that arise from office space, we will be taking a 
much smaller space to support the further reduction of our 
environmental footprint.

Our Customers, Suppliers and Partners
Our business relies on good relationships with clients, 
suppliers and other stakeholders. 

The Board is regularly briefed on key developments 
across the Group, including on new and existing client 
relationships. Client due diligence is a key part of our 
acquisition process when evaluating potential acquisition 
targets and results are made available to the Board. By 
their nature our businesses work in collaboration with their 
clients: we work collaboratively with client organisations, 
use agile processes, and build software and businesses to 
better serve client needs based on what they tell us.

The Group’s focus is to leverage and consolidate the 
Group’s suppliers. To obtain better terms, we aim to build 
on our customer relationships from the acquisitions during 
the last 24 months. Our effort is to be always professional 
and establish a reputation as being a reliable customer 
with whom suppliers and partners want to do business. 

When taking on a new supplier, we conduct a detailed 
review to ensure that we understand not only the quality of 
their product or services but also their policies, procedures 
and working practices, making sure they are consistent 
with our values and compliance requirements. We keep our 
suppliers informed of our business performance through 
public disclosures and communication where appropriate. 

The Group ensures that the quality of the services being 
supplied meets the standards expected, through our 
engagement and monitoring payment terms. If there is 
a reduction in the standard, we will communicate with 
the supplier and if needed we will look to replace with a 
comparable alternative. 

The Group has a zero-tolerance approach to practices 
which are at odds with our values and culture, for example 
corruption, bribery and modern slavery. We are committed 
to acting ethically and with integrity in all business dealings 
and relationships and to implementing and enforcing 
effective systems and controls to ensure such practices 
are not taking place anywhere in our businesses or supply 
chain.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The Board is responsible for ensuring 
that the Group is protected from 
unnecessary risk and regularly reviews 
the risks and opportunities of the 
business to ensure that appropriate 
mitigation strategies are adopted.

Internal systems of control
The Group maintains systems of internal control 
appropriate to a business of this size and complexity and 
which take into account the applicable regulatory and 
legal requirements as a UK AIM listed plc. The internal 
controls are designed with the objective of implementing 
an action to mitigate the existing risk, and if impossible to 
fully mitigate the risk, managing the risk to an acceptable 
level.

Risk Management
The Board, assisted by the Audit Committee, is ultimately 
responsible for oversight of risk management. The Directors 
play the leading role, monitoring the overall risk profile 
within the business and taking into account internal 
controls. Through detailed planning and continuous 
monitoring, all identified significant risks are evaluated, 
and appropriate mitigating actions that reduce the 
likelihood of a risk event and/or reduce their impact to an 
acceptable level are designed and executed.

The Group’s process for the identification, assessment 
and management of risks in the business, is driven and 
monitored by the Senior Management Team with the 
support of the Company Secretary. 

The Audit Committee reviews the systems of internal 
control for the Group alongside the Group’s process for risk 
management and reports its findings to the Board. Each 
year the Audit Committee consider the need for an internal 
audit function. Given the current size of the group, the 
Audit Committee do not judge it appropriate to maintain a 
dedicated internal audit function. 

Registering and reviewing risks
The Group identifies and assesses each risk based on the 
impact and likelihood, and then applies mitigating actions 
appropriately. Each risk is scaled, based on the likelihood 
of occurrence and severity of impact, and risks categorised 
as high, medium or low accordingly, with high-risk areas 
receiving the most attention. 

The risk register is reviewed and updated to capture and 
identify any new risks and opportunities, and to improve 
the mitigating actions. The Senior Leadership Team review 
all identified risks and assign actions on a quarterly basis. 
Such risks are reported to and reviewed by the Board and 
Audit Committee. 

Set out below are the principal risks and uncertainties 
that the Directors consider could impact the business. 
The Board recognises that the nature and scope of risks 
can change and that there may be other risks to which 
the Group is exposed and so this list is not intended to be 
exhaustive.

Trend

Competition  
and  
technological 
change

Identification, 
valuation 
and pursuit of 
acquisitions and 
investments

Induction operates in a competitive 
market, with new competitors regularly 
entering the market. These new 
entrants may make it hard for Induction 
to generate the anticipated revenues 
due to both increased competition for 
market share and pricing pressure. 

Potential impact:

•  New technologies emerge that 

may render existing products and 
services obsolete, unmarketable or 
competitively impaired, and may 
exert downward pressures on the 
pricing of existing products and 
services.

The Group’s growth strategy has 
centred around investing in talent 
and the acquisition of businesses 
which broaden and enhance existing 
operations. One of the inherent risks of 
acquisitions is that the Group enters 
unfamiliar markets/regions and works 
with new personnel, who may not 
be sufficiently aligned with Group 
strategy.

The target acquisitions may either 
not be readily available or may not 
generate the financial or commercial 
benefit it was intended to.

Potential impacts:

•  Investment returns not achieved and 

shareholder value eroded.

•  Induction Switch, Induction Guidance, 

Induction Attend Anywhere and Induction 
Zesty apps are well-established products in 
the UK and this, coupled with a user-focused 
strategy, creates a barrier to new competitors. 

•  Continuous investment in the development  

of the platforms to ensure they remain  
relevant, competitive and attractive to  
users as well as customers.

•  Hiring and developing the right talented  

people in product development.

•  Continuous commitment to product 
differentiation through innovation.

•  Analytics used to predict the environment, 

market and user engagement.

•  Maintaining market knowledge and monitoring 
competitor developments and technologies. 

•  The Board is very careful when selecting 

potential acquisition partners and we spend 
a significant amount of time upfront to make 
sure the individuals are a good fit for the 
Group.

•  Investment is made in M&A capabilities, 

experience and relationships in the market.

•  Potential targets identified and prioritised to 

ensure efficient time is spent on diligence.

•  Rigorous due diligence process conducted 

using internal and external experts to 
ensure Induction fully evaluates the costs 
and benefits expected before any business 
purchase.

•  Business case for acquisition is articulated 

clearly and key assumptions (financial, 
technical and operational) identified for Board 
approval.

•  External communication maintained with 
advisors and owners/management of to 
ensure Induction has visibility of potential 
transactions across the market.

Operational Risks

Risk

Description and impact

Key mitigating activities

Trend

Key system 
failure or 
disruption

Induction is dependent on its 
IT infrastructure, whereby loss/
corruption of the application software, 
infrastructure failure, damage or denial 
of service to the infrastructure could 
cause serious business interruption and 
a decline in user confidence. 

Potential impacts:

•  Internal impact due to releasing 

software that doesn’t function as 
intended; and

•  External as third parties can disrupt 

the platform or cause failure by a key 
outsourced provider. 

•  Use an agile development methodology which 
allows small incremental changes to be made 
to the platforms. 

•  Changes are subject to rigorous QA and 

product acceptance before they are released 
to users. 

•  Maintenance of backups allowing roll back to 

previous versions if a new release fails. 

•  Evaluation of all third-party suppliers, ensuring 
that they have appropriate fall-back systems 
and disaster recovery processes. 

•  System penetration tests a performed 

annually by a third party.

Business growth 
is constrained 
by not having 
appropriate 
people, 
resources and 
processes 

Induction has a “buy and build” 
strategy, therefore operations and 
processes need to be robust, efficient 
and scalable for the Group to manage 
growth. There is a risk that, in a 
highly competitive technology talent 
landscape, Induction cannot attract 
and retain sufficient highly skilled and 
dedicated staff.

Potential impacts:

•  Adverse effect on ability to grow 

and scale the business within UK and 
internationally. 

Inadequate 
integration 
or leverage 
of acquired 
businesses 

The risk of misjudging key elements of 
an acquisition and failing to integrate 
in an efficient, timely and successful 
manner. 

Potential impact:

•  Integration of new acquisitions 
can be challenging and time 
consuming. There is a risk that the 
integration distracts the acquiring 
business, or capacity issues limits the 
enhancement of synergies resulting 
in the growth identified during due 
diligence remaining unrealised. 

•  Our approach to recruitment is to hire and 
retain best-in-class talent and remunerate 
them accordingly.

•  Recruiting employees to attract talent fit for a 
dynamic and fast-growth MedTech company.

•  Open employee communication including 
employee performance reviews to monitor 
and identify gaps in leadership and skills 
levels.

•  Development program for employees to 

continually up-skill, which is supplemented 
with key external hires. 

•  Detailed and continuous review of resource 

and succession planning for key roles.

•  Focus on developing a strong and consistent 

culture across the organisation. 

•  Detailed integration plan and dedicated 

integration teams put in place.

•  Regular communication on progress 

highlighting variations and remedial action 
taken.

•  Senior Management with significant 

experience to lead the assessment, planning 
and integration process.

Trend

Customer 
concentration 
risk

The primary customer of the group 
is the NHS which is a complex 
series of organisations which brings 
challenges to navigate through these 
organisations and reach the decision 
makers. The procurement process 
can be onerous and very lengthy, 
increasing the risk that revenues fall 
short of expectation. 

Potential impacts:

•  Changes to Government policies can 
have a material impact on companies 
supplying the NHS, both in terms 
of changes in direction as well as 
structural changes which can delay 
or even negate the Group’s ability to 
derive revenues. 

•  NHS operates against a backdrop of 
tight funding and this could have a 
negative impact on pricing.

•  The Board and management team have 

extensive experience working in and  
supplying to the NHS and relationships  
with key NHS decision makers, and therefore 
the Group is well placed to navigate the  
myriad NHS organisations. 

•  While Induction cannot mitigate the political 

risk entirely, there is cross party support  
for the use of technology in the NHS which  
will help reduce both political and pricing risk.

•  Induction’s strategy to expand into 

geographies outside of the UK, will reduce 
specific exposure to the NHS.

Compliance Risks

Regulatory compliance is a key risk  
for the Group, not only in terms of the 
General Data Protection Regulations 
(GDPR) but also specific restrictions 
relating potentially to medical devices, 
clinical governance including patient 
safety and information governance 
including confidentiality and security.

Brexit has made the regulatory 
backdrop even more complicated  
as the UK’s regulations diverge from 
the European Union’s.

Potential Impacts:

•  Compliance with legislation and code of best 

practice.

•  Ongoing training on key regulation such as  

anti-bribery and corruption and data 
protection.

•  Recruitment of appropriate expertise 

and experience in clinical and information 
governance to improve the regulatory 
compliance in data protection, clinical 
governance including patient safety, 
confidentiality and data ethics has taken 
place and will be further enhanced as 
necessary.

•  Internal Finance, Legal and Medical 

could have a material impact on the 
Group’s reputation, fines or late filings 
penalties, and financial results.

departments monitor changes to law and 
regulations and oversee actions to ensure 
compliance.

•  Independent third-party and internal adviser 
audits and reviews are conducted regularly 
during the year to ensure compliance.

•  In terms of Brexit, the Group has very little 

presence in any other members of the 
European Union outside of the UK and there 
has been no initial impact.

•  The Group maintains an in-house legal 

function and uses external legal and tax 
counsel to advise on local legal, tax and 
regulatory requirements.

Potential Impacts:

•  Failure to comply with regulations 

could have a material impact on the 
Group’s reputation, fines or late filings

Financial Risks

The Group notes the ongoing threat 
of third parties attempting to exploit 
weaknesses in the technological 
infrastructure and SaaS services of 
different companies.

Potential Impacts:

Inadequate security controls to protect 
against these threats could lead 
to business disruption, reputational 
damage and loss of assets.

•  The ongoing development and maturation of 
our Information Security Management System 
(ISMS), including the continued investment 
in endpoint security, has greatly increased 
our ability to monitor and respond to cyber-
related threats.

•  Our people are also required to undertake 

ongoing training to maintain their awareness 
and understanding of information security.

•  The Group plans to initiate an independent 

third-party review of the existing ISMS.

Description and Impact

Key mitigating activities

Trend

Foreign  
currency risk

The risk of significant unfavourable 
foreign exchange movements.

The Group has historically had limited 
exposure against the US Dollar, Euro 
and Australian Dollar due to low levels 
of trading with our overseas entity and 
the majority of international clients 
pay in GBP sterling. However, with 
the acquisition of Attend Anywhere 
Pty Ltd, the impact on the Group’s 
reported profits and asset values have 
become increasingly impacted by any 
fluctuation of Sterling relative to other 
currencies, particularly the AUS Dollar. 

Potential impact:

•  Currency volatility uncertain in current 

post-COVID-19 climate 

•  Clear communications on Treasury strategy to 
ensure groups currency exposures and policies 
are understood. 

•  Continue international customer contracts in 

GBP.

•  The global and local short-term cash flow 
forecasts are used to monitor future large 
foreign currency payments, and natural 
currency hedging is used where possible 
across the Group.

•  Surplus cash balances are swept to the UK to 
minimise any exposure to particular currencies 
or locations.

Pandemics 
(COVID-19)

COVID-19 has created an 
unprecedented global emergency, 
the effects of which will have a lasting 
impact on both people and economies 
alike. 

In particular, it has been a difficult year 
for the healthcare sector with many 
of our customers being overwhelmed 
by COVID-19. On one hand COVID-19 
has strongly demonstrated the need 
for our leading technology but it has 
also made it very difficult to engage 
customers who were understandably 
focused on initially treating 
acute patients and subsequently 
implementing the national vaccine 
programme.

However, as a technology-centred 
business, we have been able to 
respond quickly to protect our 
employees, customers and the 
business. 

Potential impact:

The main risks of such events relate to:

•  Bringing staff together in a physical 

environment.

•  The Group has been impacted by 
some customers capacity to take 
on new transformation in the health 
and social care marketplace due to 
workload issues.

•  Sickness and absence impacts of 

personal isolation.

Liquidity risk

The risk of the Group not being able to 
meet its financial obligations as they 
fall due.

•  Clear Treasury policies that are designed 
to ensure that sufficient cash is available 
to support current and future business 
requirements.

•  Cash management through rolling cash flow 
forecasts, updated at least on a monthly 
basis.

Corporate Governance Report 
for Induction Healthcare Group PLC 

Chair’s Introduction

I have pleasure in introducing our Corporate Governance 
Statement. The Board is committed to supporting high 
standards of corporate governance. We consider that a 
solid foundation of good governance and best practice 
is needed to help the Group profitably and effectively 
support our user base, both clinical teams and patients. In 
this section of the Annual Report we set out our governance 
framework and describe our approach to good corporate 
governance throughout the Company and its subsidiaries 
(‘the Group’). As Chair, my primary responsibility is to lead 
the Board effectively and ensure that the Group’s corporate 
governance is appropriate and adopted across all our 
business activities. I am also responsible for ensuring that, as 
a Board, we examine the key operational and financial issues 
affecting our strategy.

We have had a number of Board changes during the year 
and since our year-end. During the year under review and 
until 7 June 2022, the Board was led by Chris Spencer as the 
independent Non-Executive Chair. I assumed this role on 
7 June 2022. Throughout the year we had three independent 
Non-Executive Directors Leslie-Ann Reed, Jane Silber and 
Andy Williams. On 3 May 2022 Hugo Stephenson ceased 
to be an Executive Director and became a Non-Executive 
Director.

Our Executive Directors during the year were James Balmain 
and Guy Mitchell. Guy was appointed as CFO and Executive 
Director on 15 November 2021.

At the time of our IPO we opted to follow the Quoted 
Companies Alliance (“QCA”) Corporate Governance Code 
(the ‘Code’) and we continue to feel that this is the most 
appropriate Code for us as an AIM listed company. The 
report below is organised under headings which show how 
the Group has complied with the ten broad principles of the 
Code which all support the Group’s medium to long-term 
success.

Christopher Samler 
Non-Executive Chair

28 November 2022

Statement of Compliance with the QCA 
Corporate Governance Code

Strategy and Business Model
Principle 1 of the Code requires that companies establish 
a strategy and business model which promote long-term 
value for shareholders. The Group is a healthcare technology 
business focused on streamlining the delivery of care by 
healthcare professionals, and our strategy is articulated 
in the Strategic Report on pages 2 to 20. Our Section 172 

statement, which is set out on page 14 shows how the 
Directors have fulfilled their duties and obligations to 
ensure the long-term success of the business. The Executive 
Directors and senior leadership team meet throughout the 
year to discuss strategy and the Group’s long-term growth. 
The Board, in turn, debates strategy at every Board meeting 
and monitors progress against the strategic plan. The active 
challenge provided by the Non-Executive Directors to the 
Executive helps shape our strategy. The CFO maintains a 
strategic risk register and regularly reports to the Board 
on the how the Group mitigates major perceived risk and 
protects the company from unnecessary potential risk.

Shareholder Relations
Under Principle 2 of the Code, the Company must seek to 
understand and meet shareholder needs and expectations.

The Company is committed to listening to, and openly 
communicating with, its shareholders to ensure that its 
business, strategy, and performance are clearly understood 
and supported. During the year, the Board, and particularly 
the executive team, has maintained an open communication 
with investors, and the sell-side research community. This 
will be an increasing area of focus for the new Chair in 
the future believe that this is the best way to ensure the 
company understands what is expected of it in its efforts to 
drive enhanced value for our shareholders. The Executive 
Directors provide the Board with feedback from all meetings 
and communications with shareholders and the Board is 
provided with an analysis of investor base changes on a 
regular basis. Further information on investor sentiment 
is provided to the Board by the Company’s Nominated 
Advisors and financial PR advisors. The Board is also mindful 
of the importance of its retail shareholders and we aim 
to provide meaningful information for all our investors, 
but particularly our retail shareholders, via our website 
www.inductionhealthcare.com. Our website also offers a 
facility to sign up for email alert notifications of Company 
news and regulatory announcements.

Our Stakeholders
Principle 3 of the Code requires that the Company takes 
into account wider stakeholder and social responsibilities 
and their implications for long-term success. The Company’s 
stakeholders include shareholders, employees, its registered 
users, its customers, and its business suppliers.

The Board values the opinions of the stakeholders in the 
business and will regularly seek to ensure that the views of its 
shareholders, suppliers, and partners are known and, where 
relevant to the success of our business, are acted upon. The 
Board considers investors’ views and feedback following 
investor roadshows and individual directors update the 
Board on any ad hoc meetings with investors throughout the 
year.

One of our most important stakeholder groups is our 
employees. The Company engages regularly with its 
employees and monitors closely the views and concerns

and use the experience we gain from those interactions to 
inform our strategy.

experience, skills, and capabilities. The balance, skills and 
experience of the Board were evaluated during the year 
ended 31 March 2022.

Risk Management
Principle 4 of the Code requires that the Company embed 
effective risk management, considering both opportunities 
and threats, throughout the organisation.

The Board, assisted by the Audit Committee, is ultimately 
responsible for overseeing management’s activities in 
identifying, evaluating, and managing the risks facing the 
Group. The environment in which we operate is constantly 
evolving and can be affected by external factors that 
are outside of our control and which may impact on us 
operationally. The Group implements a risk management 
policy which defines the Group’s risk appetite. The Board 
regularly reviews a matrix of the key risks which sets out how 
these are managed and mitigated through internal and 
other controls and processes.

The significant risks and related mitigation and control are 
disclosed in the Strategic Review on pages 15 to 20.

The Board
Principle 5 of the Code requires the maintenance of the 
board as a well-functioning, balanced team led by the chair.

Our current board consists of the Chair, two Executive 
Directors, and four Non-Executive Directors. The Chair 
and three Non-Executive Directors are all considered to 
be independent, one Non-Executive Hugo Stephenson is 
non-independent The current Board has two female and 
five male Directors. The balance, skills and experience of the 
Board are currently under evaluation.

The Board holds eight scheduled meetings a year and 
attendance at these meeting is set out below on page 25. 
There are also numerous ad hoc meetings where matters of 
importance have arisen between scheduled meetings.

There are three Board Committees: the Audit Committee, the 
Remuneration Committee, and the Nomination Committee, 
which are chaired by Leslie-Ann Reed, Jane Silber, and Andy 
Williams respectively. Attendance at those meetings is set 
out on page 25.

Directors are expected to attend all meetings of the Board, 
and of the Committees on which they sit, and to devote 
sufficient time to the Group’s affairs to enable them to fulfil 
their duties as Directors. In the event that Directors are 
unable to attend a meeting, their comments on papers to be 
considered at the meeting will be discussed in advance with 
the Chair, so that their contribution can be included as part 
of the wider Board discussion.

The biographies of Board members are set out on pages 21 
to 22.

The role of the Non-Executive Directors is to bring valuable 
judgement and insight to Board deliberations and decisions. 
The Non-Executive Directors are all experienced and 
influential individuals whose blend of skills and business 
experience contributes to the proper functioning of the 
Board and its Committees, ensuring that matters are fully 
debated and that no individual or group dominates the 
Board’s decision-making processes.

The Board are assisted by a range of external advisors, 
including the nominated advisor, strategic communication 
consultants, legal advisers, and tax consultants.

The Board training and development needs are met with the 
support of our Nominated Adviser (NOMAD) and our advisors. 
The Board are provided with regular updates on governance 
developments and the Company Secretary takes minutes at 
all Board and Committee meetings.

Board Performance and Evaluations
Principle 7 of the Code requires that the Board and 
Committees evaluate their own performance based on clear 
and relevant objectives and seek continuous improvement.

The Chair ensures that the Board reflects on its own 
performance at the beginning and end of each Board 
meeting. This “temperature check” ensures that all board 
members have an opportunity to consider whether the 
Board has worked effectively or if there are issues that 
need more discussion. The Board conducted a formal 
Board evaluation during the year under review with actions 
identified and implemented. A further formal Board 
evaluation will be carried out on 2022/2023 and the Board 
evaluation process itself will continue to be refined.

Prior to the proposal for re-election at the AGM, the 
performance of the Non-Executive Directors is reconsidered 
to ensure they remain effective in their role and, where 
appropriate, that they retain their independence.

Succession planning for the Board was considered at 
the Nomination Committee and is an ongoing topic of 
discussion.

Corporate Culture
Principle 8 of the Code requires that the Company promote 
a corporate culture that is based on ethical values and 
behaviours.

Directors’ Skills and Capabilities
Principle 6 of the Code requires that the Directors ensure 
that between them, they have the necessary up-to-date 

The Company has an entrepreneurial and innovative culture 
underpinned by sound governance, and policies and 
processes that ensure we do business in a fair and ethical 

24

Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022 Governanceheading 1heading 2(continued)for Induction Healthcare Group 

PLC (continued)

way and reflect the healthcare markets in which we operate. 
The Board seeks to lead by example and ensures that all 
strategic decisions are taken fairly, with due process and are 
in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders.

Governance Structure
Principle 9 of the Code requires that the Company maintain 
governance structures and processes that are fit for purpose 
and support good decision making by the board.

The respective responsibilities of the Chair and our CEO are 
clearly understood. The Chair is responsible for leading the 
Board, facilitating the effective contribution of all members, 
and ensuring that it operates effectively in the interests of 
the shareholders. The CEO is responsible for the leadership 
of the business and implementation of the strategy. In turn 
our Non‑Executive Directors provide effective challenge 
and help develop proposals on strategy whilst ensuring 
that they satisfy themselves as to the integrity of the 
financial reporting systems, internal controls, and the 
risk management system. The whole Board ensures that 
corporate performance is monitored and adequately 
reported to shareholders.

Shareholder and Stakeholder Communications
Principle 10 of the Code requires that the Company 
communicate how the Group is governed and is performing 
by maintaining a dialogue with shareholders and other 
relevant stakeholders.

The Board attaches great importance to communication 
with both institutional and private shareholders in reporting 
and demonstrating good corporate governance practices 
to create a sustainable, growing, profitable and successful 
business.

The Directors regularly communicated with investors and 
the Group operates an investor relations website at 
www.inductionhealthcare.com/. The website contains 
details of the Group and its activities, its regulatory 
announcements, and sets out the governance of the Group.

Board Committees

The Board has delegated and empowered a Remuneration 
Committee, Nomination Committee and an Audit 
Committee, each of which is accountable to the Board on all 
matters within its remit. Each Committee has written terms of 
reference which are available on the Company’s website. A 
summary of the responsibilities of each Committee and their 
work during the year follows.

The Company Secretary acts as secretary to all the Board’s 
Committees supported by the Executives to ensure that 
each Committee receives information and papers in a timely 
manner to enable full and proper consideration to be given 
to the relevant items of business.

Remuneration Committee Report 

On behalf of the Remuneration Committee, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Committee report for the year ended 
31 March 2022. In this report, we provide you with an overview of the Committee’s priorities and performance during the year, 
in addition to details regarding the Director’s Remuneration Report.

Committee Members
Jane Silber (Chair) 
Leslie-Ann Reed (resigned 29 September 2022) 
Christopher Spencer (resigned 7 June 2022) 
Andy Williams (appointed to Remuneration committee on 21 July 2021) 
Christopher Samler (appointed to Remuneration committee on 7 June 2022)

Committee Responsibilities
The Committee is primarily responsible for:

 — Setting the remuneration policy for all executive directors and the Company’s Chair;

 — Recommending and monitoring the levels and structure of remuneration for senior management; and

 — Reviewing the ongoing appropriateness and relevance of the remuneration policy.

The Work of the Committee
The objective of the Company’s remuneration policy is to facilitate the recruitment and retention of executives of an 
appropriate calibre, to ensure that the Executive Directors of the Company are provided with appropriate incentive to 
encourage enhanced performance, and are rewarded fairly and responsibly for their individual contributions to the success 
of the Company in the year. The remuneration policy has regard to the risk appetite of the Company and alignment to the 
Company’s long strategic term goals.

The Remuneration committee held seven formal meetings during the year as set out on page 25 and held a number of 
informal meetings and telephone calls between scheduled meetings. The Remuneration committee considered the following 
items during the year:

Review of the Remuneration Policy

Directors Remuneration Report
The objective of the Company’s remuneration policy was reviewed and remains unchanged. It is the intention of the 
Committee to review the remuneration policy in the year ending 31 March 2023.

The Remuneration that the Company offers to its Executive Directors continues to be based on four principal components:

 Basic Salaries and benefits. Basic salaries are determined by the Remuneration Committee with reference to bench‑
marked salaries paid in AIM‑quoted and other Technology businesses of similar size and complexity. It is intended that 
the guaranteed pay should be at or near the median level. Benefits in kind relate to health insurance.

 Pensions. The Group operates a defined contribution pension scheme for all Executive Directors and employees. Only 
basic salaries are pensionable.

 Short‑term incentives. Bonuses are payable to staff according to the achievement by the Group determined by key 
measurable objectives and growth targets.

 Long-term incentives. The Company operates a share option scheme covering all permanent employees under which 
share options are normally granted on passing probation or ad-hoc on individual performance. Options normally vest 
over three years, with a third vesting after twelve months and the remainder quarterly over the subsequent two years 
and can be exercised until the tenth anniversary. The number of shares granted is based on a fixed market value of 
shares on the date of the grant, so the individual only benefits if there has been a share price growth. The share option 
scheme is overseen by the Remuneration Committee which eligible individuals may be invited to participate, including 
the level of awards. The Remuneration Committee is currently reviewing the structure of the share option scheme.

Audit Committee Report 

On behalf of the Audit Committee, I am pleased to present the Audit Committee report for the year ended 31 March 2022. 
In this report, we provide you with an overview of the Committee’s priorities and performance during the year, in addition to 
details regarding the audit and risk management policies approved by the Committee for implementation throughout the 
Group

Committee Members
Leslie-Ann Reed (Chair)  
Jane Silber  
Christopher Spencer (resigned 7 June 2022) 
Christopher Samler (appointed on 7 June 2022)

Committee Responsibilities
The Committee is primarily responsible for:

 — Oversight of the Group’s risk management framework and mitigating actions;

 — Monitoring the effectiveness of internal controls;

 — Ensuring that the Group’s financial performance is properly measured and reported, through review of the annual and 

half‑year financial statements, accounting policies and significant reporting judgements;

 — Identification of adjusting items and the presentation of Alternative Performance Measures (“APMs”) and the judgement 
used in terms of which costs or credits are not associated with the underlying trading of the Group or otherwise impact 
the comparability of the Group’s results year on year; and

 — Oversight of the annual audit and its effectiveness, including the objectivity and independence of the external auditor.

The Work of the Committee
The Audit Committee continued to review and establish the procedures and systems necessary to ensure robust standards of 
financial control. The CEO and Chief Financial Officer are invited to attend all meetings, while other senior financial managers 
will attend as appropriate. The external auditor attends the meetings to discuss the planning and conclusions of their work. 
The Audit Committee is able to call for information from management and external consultants with the external auditors 
directly if required. The objectivity and independence of the external auditors is safeguarded by reviewing the auditors’ 
formal planning proposal and monitoring relationships between key audit staff and the Company.

The Audit Committee held three formal meetings during the year as set out on page 25 and considered the following items 
during the year:

Whistleblowing
Bribery 
Interim Results

Full Year Results

Going Concern

Internal Audit

External Audit

Terms of Reference

Review of arrangements in place
Review of arrangements in place
The Committee reviewed and approved the interim results, taking into account a limited-scope 
agreed upon procedures provided by KPMG.
The Committee also reviewed and approved the full year results through review of the annual report 
with a focus on revenue recognition, valuation and impairment of goodwill/intangibles. 
The Committee undertook reviews of the Company’s going concern status at the half and full year 
period ends. 
The Committee reviewed the need for an internal auditor and agreed that the Company was of not 
yet of sufficient size or complexity to merit a separate internal audit function.
The Committee reviewed the independence and objectivity of the external auditor, KPMG; their plan 
for the full year audit, advisory fees and the effectiveness of the audit process.
The Committee postponed the review of its own terms of reference to FY23.

External Auditor
The Audit Committee monitors the relationship with the external auditor, KPMG LLP, to ensure that auditor independence and 
objectivity are maintained. KPMG have been the Group’s auditor since IPO in 2019 and the Committee will keep under review 
the need for external tender. A summary of remuneration paid to the external auditor is provided in note 7 of the financial 
statements. The value of the non-audit services provided by the Auditor is £8k. Having reviewed the auditor’s independence 
and performance, the Audit Committee has concluded that these are effective. The Group expects to undertake a tender 
process for external audit services and expects this process to be completed by December 2022.

Statement of Directors’ responsibilities in respect of 
the annual report and the financial statements 

The directors are responsible for keeping adequate 
accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain 
the parent Company’s transactions and disclose with 
reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the 
parent company and enable them to ensure that its financial 
statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are 
responsible for such internal control as they determine is 
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements 
that are free from material misstatement, whether due to 
fraud or error, and have general responsibility for taking such 
steps as are reasonably open to them to safeguard the 
assets of the Group and to prevent and detect fraud and 
other irregularities.

Under applicable law and regulations, the directors are also 
responsible for preparing a Strategic Report and a Directors’ 
Report that complies with that law and those regulations.

The directors are responsible for the maintenance and 
integrity of the corporate and financial information included 
on the Group’s website. Legislation in the UK governing the 
preparation and dissemination of financial statements may 
differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.

The directors are responsible for preparing the Annual Report 
and the Group and parent Company financial statements in 
accordance with applicable law and regulations.

Company law requires the directors to prepare group and 
parent company financial statements for each financial 
year. Under the AIM Rules of the London Stock Exchange 
they are required to prepare the Group financial statements 
in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting 
standards and they have elected to prepare the parent 
Company financial statements on the same basis.

Under company law the directors must not approve the 
financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give 
a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group and 
parent Company and of the Group’s profit or loss for that 
period. In preparing each of the Group and parent Company 
financial statements, the directors are required to:

 — select suitable accounting policies and then apply them 

consistently;

 — make judgements and estimates that are reasonable, 

relevant and reliable;

 — state whether they have been prepared in accordance 
with UK-adopted international accounting standards;

 — assess the Group and parent Company’s ability to 

continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, 
matters related to going concern; and

 — use the going concern basis of accounting unless 

they either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent 
Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic 
alternative but to do so.

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements and 
include the most significant assessed risks of material misstatement (whether or not due to fraud) identified by us, including those which had 
the greatest effect on: the overall audit strategy; the allocation of resources in the audit; and directing the efforts of the engagement team.  
These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we 
do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.  In arriving at our audit opinion above, the key audit matters, in decreasing order of audit 
significance, were as follows:

Intangible assets –
capitalised development 
costs of Zesty and Attend

Zesty, 2022: £1.2m (2021:

Refer to page 29 (Audit 
Committee Report), page 55 
(accounting policy) and 
pages 61, 80 (financial 
disclosures)

The risk

Estimate‐based assessment

There is significant judgement in assessing whether 
expenses related to the Group’s development of new 
technology meet the capitalisation criteria set out in IAS 38, 
in particular, the point at which technical and economic 
feasibility are demonstrated. During the year, the Group 
capitalised costs related to projects where probable future 
economic benefit is achieved via customer renewals, which 
is more judgemental.

Where the capitalisation criteria set out in IAS 38 are met, 
the Group makes judgements in estimating the amount of 
time employees spend on development activities to 
determine the appropriate amount to capitalise, as the 
Group does not have a system in place for employees to 
record the time they spend on a project as the time is 
incurred.

We identified a fraud risk related to both the judgement as 
to whether costs associated with a project can be capitalised 
and the estimation of employees’ capitalisable time as a 
result of possible pressures and incentives to meet adjusted 
profit expectations.

The effect of these matters is that, as part of our risk 
assessment, we determined that Zesty and Attend 
Anywhere development costs to be capitalised have a high 
degree of estimation uncertainty, with a potential range of 
reasonable outcomes greater than our materiality for the 
financial statements as a whole. The financial statements 
(note 5.2) disclose the range estimated by the Group.

Our response

We performed the detailed tests below rather than seeking
to rely on any of
the Group’s controls because our
knowledge of the design of these controls indicated that we
would not be able to obtain the required evidence to
support reliance on controls:

— Test of details:

For a sample of projects newly capitalised in the year for
Zesty and Attend Anywhere, we inspected internal
documentation and performed personnel
inquiries with
product managers to evaluate the Group’s assessment of
the
feasibility was
demonstrated. We evaluated the Group’s assessment that
economic feasibility had been demonstrated by inspecting
external customer contracts and by assessing against our
knowledge of the industry.

technological

at which

date

We inspected employees’ contracts, on a sample basis, to
evaluate whether the work of these individuals was directly
linked to the development of the technology.

— Our sector experience:

We challenged the assumptions on the rate (as a percentage
of employees’
time) used to capitalise the internal
employee costs based on our knowledge and experience of
the businesses and the industry they operate in.

— Personnel interviews:

We held personnel interviews with employees involved in
capitalisable projects, on a sample basis, to understand
employees’ activities during the period to assess whether
the Group’s estimate of employees’
time spent on
development projects is reasonable.

We performed an assessment of whether overstatements of
capitalised development costs identified through the above
procedures were material,
individually and in aggregate,
taking into account findings from other areas of the audit
and qualitative aspects of the financial statements as a
whole.

— Assessing transparency:

We have also considered the adequacy of the Group's
disclosures about
in the
the significant
determination of whether the capitalisation criteria have
been met and the degree of estimation uncertainty in
determining the amount to be capitalised.

The risk

Forecast‐based assessment

The estimated value in use for each of the Induction Attend 
Anywhere and Induction Zesty CGUs is subjective due to the 
inherent uncertainty and complexity involved in forecasting 
and discounting future cash flows of the businesses. There is 
also judgement involved in the group’s forecast of the 
employees’ time to be spent on enhancement activities, for 
which the related cash flows are excluded from the value in 
use estimates.

We also identified a fraud risk related to the goodwill 
impairment assessment of these CGUs in response to 
possible pressures and incentives to demonstrate the value 
in these CGUs.

The effect of these matters is that, as part of our risk 
assessment, we determined that the values in use of the 
Induction Attend Anywhere and Induction Zesty CGUs have 
a high degree of estimation uncertainty, with a potential 
range of reasonable outcomes greater than our materiality 
for the financial statements as a whole. The financial 
statements (note 18) disclose the sensitivities estimated by 
the Group.

(continued)

Our response

We performed the detailed tests below rather than seeking
to rely on any of the Group’s controls because the nature of
the balance is such that we would expect to obtain audit
evidence primarily
through the detailed procedures
described:

— Benchmarking assumptions:

We critically assessed the forecasted payments received
from customers (including renewals and new business) for
Attend Anywhere by comparison to post‐year contract
renewals seen to date and our own knowledge of the sector
in which it operates. For Zesty we critically assessed forecast
cash inflows by comparing to external data from the group’s
value‐added resellers.

We critically assessed the forecasted cash outflows and
enhancement cash flows by comparison to the Group’s
historical experience and our expectations based on our
understanding of the relationships between these cash
flows and revenue.

— Independent reperformance:

We developed our own estimate of a range of reasonably
possible discount rates for each CGU, based on external
market data and our understanding of the businesses, and
compared this to the discount rates determined by the
Group.

— Sensitivity analysis:

We performed breakeven analysis on the assumptions
noted above and recalculated the impact of reasonably
possible outcomes for each assumption noted above, both
individually and in aggregate, on the recoverable amount of
each CGU.

— Comparing valuations:

We compared the sum of the discounted cash flows for all
the Group’s CGUs to the Company’s market capitalisation to
assess the reasonableness of those cashflows; and

— Assessing transparency:

the disclosed
We assessed the appropriateness of
reasonably possible outcomes in the assumptions noted
above, both individually and in aggregate, and assessed
whether
the disclosures reflect the risks inherent in the
recoverable amounts of the Induction Attend Anywhere and
Induction Zesty CGUs.

The risk

Forecast‐based estimate

During the year ended 31 March 2022, the Company 
acquired Attend Anywhere for a total consideration of 
£25,398k.

There is significant estimation involved in forecasting future 
performance of the acquired business, which determines 
the fair value of the identified intangible assets, which are 
customer relationships and technology. In particular, the 
valuation of the acquired intangibles is sensitive to changes 
in the customer renewal rates and pricing of future contract 
renewals with customers assumptions.

The technology intangible asset valuation is also sensitive to 
changes in the obsolescence rate applied to the cash flows.

In addition we identified a fraud risk related to the valuation 
of these acquired intangibles as a result of possible 
pressures and incentives to demonstrate the acquisition 
adds value to the Group.

The effect of these matters is that, as part of our risk 
assessment, we determined that the valuation of the 
acquired intangible assets, has a high degree of estimation 
uncertainty, with a potential range of reasonable outcomes 
greater than our materiality for the financial statements as a 
whole, and possibly many times that amount.

Our response

We performed the detailed tests below rather than seeking
to rely on any of the Group’s controls because the nature of
the balance is such that we would expect to obtain audit
evidence primarily
through the detailed procedures
described:

— Methodology choice:

With the assistance from our valuation specialists, we
critically assessed the methodologies adopted by the
Group’s external valuers with reference to industry
standards and the requirements of
the accounting
standards.

— Assessing assumptions:

We challenged the renewal rates and pricing assumptions
based on our understanding of the business and the existing
contracts at acquisition .

We performed an assessment of the customer renewal rate
and pricing of such contracts assumptions with reference to
the actual renewal rates and pricing seen post year‐end to
date.

We challenged the group’s obsolescence rate assumption
with reference to the economic life used by comparable
entities for amortising their technology assets and with
reference to our own knowledge of the business and
industry it operates in.

– Our sector knowledge:

We evaluated the forecast contract renewals and new
customer contract wins using our own understanding of the
external environment and market trends to assess whether
the forecasted performance is line with the market.

— Assessing transparency:

We critically assessed whether
the Group adequately
disclosed the uncertainties inherent in the valuations of the
acquired intangible assets.

Going concern

Disclosure quality

Refer to page 29 (Audit 
Committee Report), page 48 
(Group’s accounting policy), 
page 93 (parent company’s 
accounting policy) and page 
31 (Director’s Report)

The financial statements explain how the Board has formed 
a judgement that it is appropriate to adopt the going 
concern basis of preparation for the Group and parent 
Company.

That judgement is based on an evaluation of the inherent 
risks to the Group’s and Company’s business model and how 
those risks might affect the Group’s and Company’s financial 
resources or ability to continue operations over the period 
to 30 April 2024 (“the going concern period”).

The risks most likely to adversely affect the Group’s and 
Company’s available financial resources over this period 
were:

We used our knowledge of the Group, its industry, and the
general economic environment to identify conditions that
presented risks to be taken into account in the going
concern assessment.
As a result of this analysis, we
requested the directors to extend their going concern
assessment to cover a forecast period to 30 April 2024 to
cover the renewal dates of contracts with major customers.

We considered whether the identified risks could plausibly
affect the liquidity in the going concern period by assessing
the level of available
the directors’ sensitivities over
financial
resources indicated by the Group’s financial
forecasts taking account of severe, but plausible, adverse
effects that could arise from these risks individually and
collectively.

— Non‐renewals of major contracts with existing customers;

Our procedures also included:

— Non‐materialisation of forecast sales to new customers;

— Assessing assumptions:

— Delay of securing new contracts with customers resulting 
in delayed cash inflows.

There are also less predictable but realistic second order 
impacts, such as potential cut‐backs in the UK government’s 
public spending, which could result in a rapid reduction of 
the Group’s customers’ available financial resources, and 
hence in the demand from new customers and for customer 
renewals.

The risk for our audit was whether or not those risks were 
such that they amounted to a material uncertainty that may 
have cast significant doubt about the ability to continue as a 
going concern. Had they been such, then that fact would 
have been required to have been disclosed.

We challenged the assumptions used by the directors in
cash flow forecasts,
in particular the key risks on cash
inflows from contracts with customers, considering our own
expectations based on our knowledge of the group and
post‐balance sheet events, including the latest fiscal policy
of UK government.

We assessed the current status of negotiations for a sample
of forecasted contract wins by inspecting correspondence
from customers and/or value‐added resellers.

— Sensitivity analysis:

The directors’ performed an initial sensitivity analysis of the
level of financial resources. We compared the directors'
assumptions of plausible (but not unrealistic) adverse
effects that could arise from the various risks to our
knowledge of the Group and understanding of the sector
that the group operates in. As a result of this comparison,
we requested the directors to apply more severe, but
plausible, downside assumptions for certain assumptions,
and to consider further mitigating actions that may be
required.

—Sector experience and historical comparison:

Critically assessing the Group’s revised revenue and cost
downside
comparison to post‐year‐end
performance to date and our wider knowledge of the
business and markets served. In addition, we evaluated the
group’s revenue assumptions against the latest fiscal policy
of UK government.

—Evaluating directors’ intent and ability:

Evaluating the achievability of the actions the directors
consider they would take to improve the position should the
risks materialise, which included the
reduction in
incremental costs directly linked to revenue generation,
delay of new hires and discretionary spending in the
forecast period, taking into account the extent to which the
directors can control the timing and outcome of these.

— Assessing transparency:

Considering whether the going concern disclosure in note
1.2 to the Group’s financial statements and note 1.1 to the
parent Company financial statements gives a full and
accurate description of the directors’ assessment of going
concern,
and related
downsides.

The risk

Forecast‐based assessment

The carrying amount of the parent company’s investments 
in Zesty and Attend Anywhere represents a significant 
percentage of the Company’s total assets and has increased 
significantly in the year due to the acquisition of Attend 
Anywhere.

The recoverability of investments in Zesty and Attend 
Anywhere is subjective due to the inherent uncertainty 
involved in forecasting and discounting future cash flows. 

The effect of these matters is that, as part of our risk 
assessment, we determined that the recoverable amount of 
the cost of investment in Zesty and Attend Anywhere have a 
high degree of estimation uncertainty, with a potential 
range of reasonable outcomes greater than our materiality 
for the financial statements as a whole. The parent company 
financial statements (note 4) disclose the sensitivity 
estimated by the Company.

Our response

We performed the detailed tests below rather than seeking
to rely on any of the company’s controls because the nature
of the balance is such that we would expect to obtain audit
evidence primarily
through the detailed procedures
described:

— Assessing forecasts:

For the investments in Attend Anywhere Pty Ltd and Zesty
Ltd, with reference to the work performed on the Group’s
forecasts as described in the Impairment assessment of
goodwill allocated to the Induction Attend Anywhere and
Induction Zesty CGU key audit matter above, we compared
the value in use estimates to the investment carrying value.

We also assessed whether any adjustments were required
to the value in use estimates used for goodwill impairment
testing purposes.

— Assessing transparency:

in

In the prior year, our report included a key audit matter in relation to the identified fraud risk related to premature revenue recognition 
and a risk of error on Zesty’s revenue recognition due to the significant judgement inherent in the bespoke nature of contracts with 
customers. We continue to perform procedures over revenue recognition, however following the acquisition of Attend Anywhere during 
the year, the majority of the Group’s revenue follows a Software‐as‐a‐Service (“SaaS”) model which does not involve significant judgement 
over the timing of revenue recognition, and the volume of new contracts entered into by Zesty is low, therefore we consider there to be 
less complexity in assessing revenue recognition. Accordingly, we have not assessed this as one of the most significant risks in our current 
year audit and, therefore, it is not separately identified in our report this year.

Goodwill impairment assessment of the Induction Guidance CGU and the recoverability of the parent company’s investment in Guidance 
were also reported as key audit matters in prior year.  We continue to perform procedures over these in the current period, but they are 
not assessed as one of the most significant risks in our current year audit, and therefore, are not separately identified in our report this 
year since they  are less sensitive to reasonably possible changes in the assumptions, both individually and in aggregate, in the current 
period.

3. Our application of materiality and an overview of the 

scope of our audit

Total Assets (2021: Total Expenses)
£55,375k (2021: £8,267k)

Group materiality
£450k (2021: £66k)

Materiality for the Group financial statements as a whole was 
set at £450k (2021: £66k), determined with reference to a 
benchmark of Total Assets, of which it represents 0.81% (2021: 
0.80% of Total Expenses). The benchmark in the previous 
period was Total Expenses. We consider the Group’s Total 
Assets to be the most appropriate benchmark in the current 
period as the Group continues capitalising a significant portion 
of development costs and other intangibles through business 
acquisition, which lead us to expect the financial statement 
users will place more focus on whether the Group can generate 
future profits and returns from their investments.

Materiality for the parent company financial statements as a 
whole was set at £413k (2021: £155k), determined with 
reference to a benchmark of company total assets, of which it 
represents 0.9% (2021: 0.8%).

In line with our audit methodology, our procedures on 
individual account balances and disclosures were performed to 
a lower threshold, performance materiality, so as to reduce to 
an acceptable level the risk that individually immaterial 
misstatements in individual account balances add up to a 
material amount across the financial statements as a whole.

Performance materiality was set at 65% (2021: 75%) of 
materiality for the financial statements as a whole, which 
equates to £290k (2021: £50k) for the Group and £268k (2021: 
£35k) for the parent company. We applied this percentage in 
our determination of performance materiality based on a high 
number of identified misstatements and control deficiencies we 
had identified in the previous year’s audit.

We agreed to report to the Audit Committee any corrected or 
uncorrected identified misstatements exceeding £20.0k (2021: 
£3.3k), in addition to other identified misstatements that 
warranted reporting on qualitative grounds.

Of the Group’s 10 (2021: 6) reporting components, we 
subjected 3 (2021: 4) to full scope audits for Group 
purposes. The work on these components, including the audit 
of the parent company, was performed by the Group team 
(2021: all components, including the audit of the parent 
company, performed by the Group team). The Group team set 
the component materialities, which ranged from £180k to 
£310k (2021: £11k to £40k), having regard to the mix of size and 
risk profile of the Group across the components.

The components within the scope of our work accounted for 
the percentages illustrated opposite.

The remaining 7.6% (2021: 0.1%) of total Group expenses, 8.1% 
(2021: 0.0%) of Group revenue, 7.1% (2021: 0.1%) of Group loss 
before tax and 5.5% (2021: 8.5%) of total Group assets is 
represented by 7 (2021: 2) reporting components, none of 
which individually represented more than 8.1% (2021: 8.5%) of 
any of total Group expenses, Group revenue, Group loss before 
tax or total Group assets. For these components, we performed 
analysis at an aggregated Group level to re‐examine our 
assessment that there were no significant risks of material 
misstatement within these.

heading 14. Going concern

The directors have prepared the financial statements on the
going concern basis as they do not intend to liquidate the Group
or the Company or to cease their operations, and as they have
concluded that the Group’s and the Company’s financial position
means that this is realistic. They have also concluded that there
are no material uncertainties that could have cast significant
doubt over their ability to continue as a going concern over the
period to 30 April 2024 from the date of approval of the financial
statements (“the going concern period”).

An explanation of how we evaluated management’s assessment
of going concern is set out in the related key audit matter in
section 2 of this report.

Our conclusions based on this work:

— we consider that the directors’ use of the going concern basis
of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is
appropriate;

— we have not identified, and concur with the directors’
assessment that there is not, a material uncertainty related to
events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may
cast significant doubt on the Group’s or Company's ability to
continue as a going concern for the going concern period; and

— we found the going concern disclosure in notes 1.2 and

parent company note 1.1 to be acceptable

However, as we cannot predict all future events or conditions
and as subsequent events may result in outcomes that are
inconsistent with judgements that were reasonable at the time
they were made, the above conclusions are not a guarantee that
the Group or the Company will continue in operation.

5. Fraud and breaches of laws and regulations – ability to detect

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due 
to fraud

To identify risks of material misstatement due to fraud (“fraud 
risks”) we assessed events or conditions that could indicate an 
incentive or pressure to commit fraud or provide an opportunity 
to commit fraud. Our risk assessment procedures included:

— Enquiring of Directors, the audit committee and inspection of 
policy documentation as to the Group’s high‐level policies 
and procedures to prevent and detect fraud and the Group’s 
channel for “whistleblowing”, as well as whether they have 
knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud.

— Reading Board minutes.

— Using analytical procedures to identify any unusual or 

unexpected relationships.

We communicated identified fraud risks throughout the audit 
team and remained alert to any indications of fraud throughout 
the audit.

As required by auditing standards, and taking into account 
possible pressures to meet adjusted profit expectations, and our 
overall knowledge of the control environment, we perform 
procedures to address the risk of management override of 
controls and the risk of fraudulent revenue recognition, in 
particular the risk that license revenue is overstated through 
recording revenue in the wrong period.

We also identified a fraud risk related to inappropriate 
capitalisation of development costs in Zesty and Attend 
Anywhere, valuation of the acquired intangible assets of Attend 
Anywhere, and impairment assessment of goodwill allocated to 
the Zesty and Attend Anywhere CGUs, in response to possible 
external pressures to present a positive result on investments 
and meet adjusted profit expectations.

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement due to 
fraud (continued)

Further detail in respect of inappropriate capitalisation of 
development costs, valuation of acquired intangible assets, and 
impairment of goodwill is set out in the key audit matter 
disclosures in section 2 of this report.

We also performed procedures including:

— Identifying journal entries to test for all full scope components 
based on risk criteria and comparing the identified entries to 
supporting documentation. These included those posted to 
unusual accounts and those with an unusual journal 
description.

— For a sample of revenue transactions recognised close to year 
end, agreeing back to signed contracts or purchase orders and 
recalculating the revenue recognised, to assess whether 
revenue had been recorded in the correct accounting period.

— Assessing whether the judgements made in making accounting 
estimates are indicative of a potential bias, including in relation 
to the valuation of acquired intangible assets of Attend 
Anywhere, impairment assessment of goodwill allocated to the 
Attend Anywhere and Zesty CGUs, and capitalised development 
costs of Attend Anywhere and Zesty for bias.

Identifying and responding to risks of material misstatement related 
to compliance with laws and regulations

We identified areas of laws and regulations that could reasonably 
be expected to have a material effect on the financial statements 
from our general commercial and sector experience, through 
discussion with the Directors and other management (as required 
by auditing standards) and discussed with the Directors and other 
management the policies and procedures regarding compliance 
with laws and regulations.

We communicated identified laws and regulations throughout our 
team and remained alert to any indications of noncompliance 
throughout the audit.

The potential effect of these laws and regulations on the financial 
statements varies considerably.

Firstly, the Group is subject to laws and regulations that directly 
affect the financial statements including financial reporting 
legislation (including related companies legislation), distributable 
profits legislation and taxation legislation and we assessed the 
extent of compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our 
procedures on the related financial statement items.

Secondly, the Group is subject to many other laws and regulations 
where the consequences of non‐compliance could have a material 
effect on amounts or disclosures in the financial statements, for 
instance through the imposition of fines or litigation, loss of current 
contracts, or inability for the Group to bid for new NHS contracts 
because of breach of data protection policy. We identified the 
following areas as those most likely to have such an effect: General 
Data Protection Regulations and the regulations relating to medical 
devices, clinical governance including patient safety and 
information governance including confidentiality and security. 
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify 
non‐compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the 
directors and other management and inspection of regulatory and 
legal correspondence, if any. Therefore, if a breach of operational 
regulations is not disclosed to us or evident from relevant 
correspondence, an audit will not detect that breach.

For the equity reclassification matter discussed in notes 26 to 
Group’s financial statements and note 10 to Company’s financial 
statements, we assessed the disclosure and accounting against our 
understanding of the original acquisition and the requirements of 
Companies Act.

law or regulation

8. Respective responsibilities

Directors’ responsibilities

Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an
unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some material
misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have
properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with
auditing standards. For example, the further removed non‐
compliance with laws and regulations is from the events and
transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely
the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards
would identify it.

In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of
non‐detection of fraud, as these may involve collusion, forgery,
intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of
internal controls. Our audit procedures are designed to detect
material misstatement. We are not responsible for preventing
non‐compliance or fraud and cannot be expected to detect non‐
compliance with all laws and regulations.

6. We have nothing to report on the other information in the 

Annual Report

the other

The directors are responsible for
information
presented in the Annual Report together with the financial
statements. Our opinion on the financial statements does not
cover the other information and, accordingly, we do not express
an audit opinion or, except as explicitly stated below, any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing
so, consider whether, based on our financial statements audit
the information therein is materially misstated or
work,
inconsistent with the financial
statements or our audit
knowledge. Based solely on that work we have not identified
material misstatements in the other information.

Strategic report and directors’ report 

Based solely on our work on the other information:

— we have not identified material misstatements in the 

strategic report and the directors’ report;  

— in our opinion the information given in those reports for the 

financial year is consistent with the financial statements; and  

— in our opinion those reports have been prepared in 

accordance with the Companies Act 2006.

7. We have nothing to report on the other matters on which we 

are required to report by exception 

Under the Companies Act 2006, we are required to report to you 
if, in our opinion: 

— adequate accounting records have not been kept by the 

parent Company, or returns adequate for our audit have not 
been received from branches not visited by us; or  

— the parent Company financial statements are not in 

agreement with the accounting records and 
returns; or  

— 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. 

We have nothing to report in these respects.  

As explained more fully in their statement set out on page 33,
the directors are responsible for: the preparation of the financial
statements including being satisfied that they give a true and fair
view; such internal control as they determine is necessary to
enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; assessing
the Group and parent Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern; and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
they either intend to liquidate the Group or the parent Company
or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do
so.

Auditor’s responsibilities

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements as a whole are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue our
opinion in an auditor’s report. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance, but does not guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a
material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or
in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial
statements.

A fuller description of our responsibilities is provided on the
FRC’s website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities.

9. The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our 

responsibilities

This report is made solely to the Company’s members, as a body,
in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act
2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might
state to the Company’s members those matters we are required
to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other
purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not
accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the
Company and the Company’s members, as a body, for our audit
work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Notes (forming part of the financial statements) 

1.  Accounting policies

1.1  Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Group and entities (including structured 
entities) controlled by the Group and its subsidiaries. Control is achieved when the Group:

 — has 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.

The Group reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to 
one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting rights of an investee, it has power over the investee when the voting 
rights are sufficient to give it the practical ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee unilaterally. The Group 
considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether or not the Group’s voting rights in an investee are 
sufficient to give it power, including:

 — the size of the Group’s holding of voting rights relative to the size and dispersion of holdings of the other vote holders;

 — potential voting rights held by the Group, other vote holders or other parties;

 — rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

 — any additional facts and circumstances that indicate that the Group has, or does not have, the current ability to direct 
the relevant activities at this time that decisions need to be made, including voting patterns at previous shareholders’ 
meetings.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Group obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Group loses 
control of the subsidiary. Specifically, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are 
included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Group gains 
control until the date when the Group ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Group and to the 
non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Group and to the 
non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line 
with the Group’s accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the 
Group are eliminated in full on consolidation.

There are no restrictions on the ability of the parent and subsidiaries to transfer cash or other assets to or from other entities 
within the group. There are no restrictions that may restrict dividends and other capital distributions within the group. There 
are no restrictions on the ability of the group to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of the group.

1.2  Going concern
The Group has recognised total revenues during the year of £7.90m (2021: £1.36m (restated)).

The Group had cash balances at 31 March 2022 of £7.49m (2021: £2.47m) with cash outflows from operating activities during 
the year of £2.06m (2021: £4.01m). On 8 June 2021, the Group raised £25.00m through a placing of 35,714,285 new Ordinary 
Shares at a price of 70p per share, which was mainly used to fund the acquisition of Attend Anywhere Pty Ltd for a cash 
consideration of approximately £16.35m.

1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.2  Going concern (continued)
In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern assumption, the Board of Directors (“the Directors”) has reviewed the 
ability to continue operating over the period to 30 April 2024 (“the going concern period”). The Directors have also reviewed 
other relevant information, together with considering scenarios with adverse impacts across the Group’s principal risks 
relating to: revenue reductions from either non-renewals of major contracts with customers or downward price pressures; 
non-materialisation of forecast sales to new customers and delays in securing new contracts with customers resulting in 
delayed cash inflows. These risks are further connected to macro-economic conditions and the UK government’s fiscal policy, 
in particular the funding and support to the group’s customers which are primarily NHS Trusts and other government bodies. 
The Directors determined that the forecast period extends to 30 April 2024 to take into account the operating cycle of the 
group, which sees significant contract renewals in March 2024, with cash inflows received in April 2024.

The Directors’ cash inflows under the base case of going concern assessment assumes all existing customer contracts with 
major customers will be renewed when they come due within the forecast period at the same contract terms. It also includes 
assumptions regarding growth in revenues due to new customer contracts, and growth in revenues due to sales of new 
products to existing customers. The base case going concern assessment cash outflows allows investment in the full range 
of planned market and product development activities, through increased employee-related and other spend to achieve 
revenue targets over this forecast period.

The Directors have considered a severe but plausible downside scenario whereby the Group is impacted by: reductions in 
revenue arising from either non-renewals of some major customer contracts or downward price pressure; non-materialisation 
of some forecast sales to new customers and three to six-month delays in securing some contracts with new customers 
resulting in delays in SaaS revenues and cash inflows, with associated reductions in incremental costs directly linked to 
revenue generation. The severe but plausible downside scenario has indicated that cash balances are their lowest in March 
2024 before increasing again in April 2024 in line with the Group’s operating cycle. At this low point, cash balances remain 
positive. Under a more severe scenario, the Directors believe they can timeously respond to decreases in cash inflows by 
taking mitigating actions to reduce costs. These include but are not limited to; delays in hiring new employees; delays in hiring 
new contractors; and reducing discretionary spend through, for example, reducing professional and consulting expenditure 
and contractor costs. 

In determining that there is no material uncertainty related to going concern, the Directors have applied significant 
judgement regarding renewals of existing contracts with major customers, in particular NHS customers. The Directors have 
made this judgement after considering the UK budget announcement in November 2022. Whilst there remains uncertainty as 
to the specifics of the NHS funding plan following the budget announcement, the Directors note that NHS funding generally 
was increased and there was a focus on NHS efficiency, which the Group’s products / services are designed to assist with. 
Therefore, the Directors believe that the judgement they have made is appropriate based upon information available at that 
point.

After due consideration, the Directors have concluded that there is a reasonable expectation that the Group and Company 
have adequate resources to meet their liabilities as they fall due for the period to 30 April 2024, and therefore these financial 
statements are prepared on a going concern basis.

1.3  Business combinations
Acquisitions of businesses are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred in a business 
combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition date fair values of the assets 
transferred by the Group, liabilities incurred by the Group to the former owners of the acquiree and the equity interests issued 
by the Group in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognised in profit or loss as 
incurred.

At the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognised at their fair value, except 
that:

 — deferred tax assets or liabilities, and assets or liabilities related to employee benefit arrangements are recognised and 

measured in accordance with IAS 12 Income Taxes and IAS 19 respectively;

 — liabilities or equity instruments related to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment 

arrangements of the Group entered into to replace share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree are measured in 
accordance with IFRS 2 at the acquisition date (see note 1.8); and

48

heading 1heading 2heading 1heading 2Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022Financial Statements1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.3  Business combinations (continued)
 — assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale 

and Discontinued Operations are measured in accordance with that Standard.

Goodwill is measured as the excess of the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests 
in the acquiree, and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over the net of the 
acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If, after reassessment, the net of the 
acquisition date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the sum of the consideration 
transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held 
interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess is recognised immediately in profit or loss as a bargain purchase gain.

When the consideration transferred by the Group in a business combination includes assets or liabilities resulting from a 
contingent consideration arrangement, the contingent consideration is measured at its acquisition date fair values and 
included as part of the consideration transferred in a business combination. Changes in the fair value of the contingent 
consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are adjusted retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments 
against goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during 
the ‘measurement period’ (which cannot exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that 
existed at the acquisition date.

The subsequent accounting for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration that do not qualify as measurement 
period adjustments depends on how the contingent consideration is classified. Contingent consideration that is classified 
as equity is not remeasured at subsequent reporting dates and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. 
Contingent consideration that is classified as an asset or a liability is remeasured at subsequent reporting dates, with the 
corresponding gain or loss being recognised in profit or loss.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured 
to its acquisition date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognised in profit or loss. Amounts arising from 
interests in the acquiree prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognised in other comprehensive income 
are reclassified to profit or loss where such treatment would be appropriate if that interest were disposed of.

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination 
occurs, the Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Those provisional 
amounts are adjusted during the measurement period (see above), or additional assets or liabilities are recognised, to reflect 
new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date that, if known, would have 
affected the amounts recognised at that date.

1.4  Goodwill
Goodwill arising on an acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business (see 
note 1.3) less accumulated impairment losses, if any.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units (or groups of 
cash-generating units) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit 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. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its 
carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit 
and then to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss for 
goodwill is recognised directly in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent 
periods.

On disposal of the relevant cash-generating unit, the attributable amount of goodwill is included in the determination of the 
profit or loss on disposal.

1.5  Revenue
Licenced subscription services
The Group is in the business of providing a right-to-access to its proprietary software applications, as software-as-a-
service (“SaaS”). Management have determined that it provides a right-to-access based on the fact that the customer 
simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit from the performance of providing access to the proprietary applications.

(continued)

1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.5  Revenue (continued)
Revenue from the sale of licenced software is recognised when control of the goods or services are transferred to the 
customer, either after user acceptance testing or go-live and at the point where there are no further outstanding significant 
commitments relating to the sale. Revenue is recognised over time, over the length of the subscription period on a straight-
line basis.

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is entitled to in exchange for those 
services. For contracts with value-added reseller customers, revenue is presented net of amounts payable to these customers.

The transaction price is determined based on the standard list price in line with the Group’s pricing policy. Revenue is 
therefore shown net of value added tax and trade discounts and is reported for healthcare institutions and resellers where 
the Group has a value-added reseller agreement, whereby healthcare institutions and resellers are charged a subscription/
licence fee for making the applications available to users.

Control is transferred, and performance obligations are satisfied over time over the subscription period and therefore this 
revenue is recognised rateably over the period of the subscription. For arrangements which contain set-up services, the 
period of the subscription commences once set-up services have been fully provided.

Payment is due within 30 days of date of invoice.

The Group did not enter into any transactions with variable consideration, rights of return, volume rebates or significant 
financing components during the year. The Group does not have any warranty obligations. The Group has elected to use the 
practical expedient to disregard the significant financing component for contracts with a subscription period of 12 months or 
less.

With regards to principal versus agent considerations, the Group acts as principal in its contracts with resellers. As such the 
Group recognises revenue net of any commissions. The performance obligations of the Group as applicable to contracts with 
resellers do not differ from those arising on direct contracts with end customers.

Set-up services
Set-up services vary depending on the scope and complexity of the engagement and type of software service provided. 
Examples of such services include system configuration, project management, testing assistance and database consulting. 
Where software requires installation effort, set-up services are deemed to be essential to the functionality of the licence 
and therefore impacts the timing of the software licence recognition, as control does not transfer until such set-up services 
have been fully provided. Set-up services are considered fully provided on either the go-live date or date of completion of 
user acceptance testing, as specified in each contract. Such set-up services are not considered a separate performance 
obligation and are combined with the corresponding licence subscription fee and recognised rateably over the subscription 
period.

Certain of the group’s services require set-up effort, these are not considered to be essential to the functionality of 
the software and are not considered to be separate performance obligations and do not affect the timing of revenue 
recognition for licensed subscriptions.

Contract terms
Management considers termination clauses and renewal clauses on a contract-by-contract basis to determine if such 
clauses grant a material right to the customer. Where management have determined that such material rights exist, these 
impact the contractual licenced subscription period. Management also assess whether material rights represent separate 
performance obligations. For the avoidance of doubt, any references to “subscription period” or “subscription term” in 
these financial statements includes extensions of contractual licence or subscription periods in instances (if any) where 
management have determined that a material right exists.

50

heading 1heading 2heading 1heading 2Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022Financial Statements1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.5  Revenue (continued)
Software support and maintenance fees
Unless separately specified, software support and maintenance services are included in licence fees under in the Group 
contracts. Support and maintenance fees are recognised as a separate performance obligation as they are distinct due to 
the fact that the customer derives a benefit from these services together with the access to the Group’s applications. For 
example, the customer receives a distinct benefit from the provision of support services in dealing with any issues that arise 
from the use of the applications, whereas the licence fees provide access to these applications. Support and maintenance 
fees are recognised as revenue in line with the licensed subscription revenues, from the date at which any set-up services 
have been fully provided (ie. go-live date or user acceptance date). The transaction price is determined with reference to 
the standalone selling price of the services based on historical contracted amounts agreed. Management have assessed 
whether any contracts contain specified upgrade rights and have concluded that no contracts contain material upgrade 
rights and therefore these are not accounted for as separate performance obligations.

Text and SMS revenues
Text and SMS revenues are recognised at a point in time and in line with usage.

Other revenues
Where ad-hoc development or consulting activities are undertaken for customers, the revenue from these is recognised 
at a point in time, when control of the service passes to the customer and there are no further outstanding significant 
commitments in relation to the sale.

Contract assets and liabilities
A contract asset is initially recognised for approved renewals of subscriptions, where the customer continues to have access 
to the applications but has not been invoiced for the subscription renewal. Upon receipt of a purchase order from the 
customer and invoicing by the Group, the balance is reclassified to trade receivables.

A contract liability is recognised if a payment is received from a customer in advance of the subscription period to which that 
payment relates.

The Group has incurred sales commission costs to obtain contracts with customers during the year. Management have 
elected to apply the exemption from capitalisation of these costs for contracts with a term of 12 months or less. For contracts 
with terms longer than 12 months, costs are capitalised and amortised over the initial subscription period and the extended 
period under anticipated renewals.

The Group has incurred costs to fulfil contracts with customers during the year, specifically related to the provision of set-up 
services. Such costs are capitalised as contract costs and amortised through cost of sales over the licenced subscription 
period from the date of the completion of the set-up services.

1.6  Foreign currency
In preparing the financial statements of each individual group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s 
functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognised at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At 
the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing 
at that date. Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the 
rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical 
cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

For the purposes of presenting these financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are 
translated into pounds using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are 
translated at the average exchange rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuate significantly during that period, in 
which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions are used. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognised 
in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (and attributed to non-controlling interests as appropriate).

1.7	 Employee	benefits
Short-term and other long-term employee benefits
A liability is recognised for benefits accruing to employees in respect of wages and salaries, annual leave and sick leave in 
the period the related service is rendered at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for 
that service.

(continued)

1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.7	 Employee	benefits	 (continued)
Liabilities recognised in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits 
expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

Liabilities recognised in respect of other long-term employee benefits are measured at the present value of the estimated 
future cash outflows expected to be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting 
date.

1.8  Share-based payments
Share-based payment transactions of the Group
Equity settled share-based payments to employees and others providing similar services are measured at the fair value of 
the equity instruments at the grant date. Details regarding the determination of the fair value of equity-settled share-based 
transactions are set out in note 11.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity-settled share-based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis 
over the vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding 
increase in equity. At the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments 
expected to vest. The impact of the revision of the original estimates, if any, is recognised in profit or loss such that the 
cumulative expense reflects the revised estimate, with a corresponding adjustment to the equity-settled employee benefits 
reserve.

1.9  Taxation
Tax on the profit or loss for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the consolidated income 
statement except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.

Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the period, using tax rates enacted or 
substantively enacted at the statement of financial position date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous 
periods.

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial 
reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. The following temporary differences are not provided 
for: the initial recognition of goodwill; the initial recognition of assets or liabilities that affect neither accounting nor taxable 
profit other than in a business combination, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that they will 
probably not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of 
realisation or settlement of the carrying amount of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at 
the statement of financial position date.

A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against 
which the temporary difference can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and recognised to 
the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be used.

Expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax, except:

 — When the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation authority, in 

which case, the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item, as 
applicable

 — When receivables and payables are stated with the amount of sales tax included

The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or 
payables in the statement of financial position.

Research and development tax credits claimed from HM Revenue & Customs are taken as a credit in the period in which the 
qualifying research and development costs are incurred unless there is uncertainty over the amount and timing of the credits. 
During the year ended 31 March 2022 a credit was recognised in respect of the claim submitted for the year ended 31 March 
2020 in respect of two subsidiary entities. This credit was not recognised in prior years as there was uncertainty regarding 
the amount and timing of the credits due to there being no past experience of claims being received. These credits were 
therefore only recognised when approved by HMRC. A credit was also recognised in respect of the claim for the years ended 
31 March 2021 and 31 March 2022 for those subsidiary entities, these claims have not yet been submitted to HM Revenue & 
Customs. Refer Note 5.1 for the judgement applied by management in recognising this claim.

1.10  Property, plant and equipment
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated 
impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, then they are accounted for as 
separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment. Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, 
plant and equipment is recognised in profit or loss. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only if it is probable that the future 
economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.

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

  Fixtures and fittings

1.11  Intangible assets
(i) 
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation 
and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. 
The estimated useful life and amortisation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of 
any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are 
acquired separately are carried at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) 
Expenditure on research activities is recognised as an expense in the period in which it is incurred.

An internally-generated intangible asset arising from development (or from the development phase of an internal project) is 
recognised if, and only if, all of the following have been demonstrated:

 — the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

 — the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

 — the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

 — how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits; , including through contracts with new 

customers, reductions in the cost of delivering the Group’s products, and by enhancing the likelihood of contract renewals

 — the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the 

intangible asset; and

 — the ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

The amount initially recognised for internally-generated intangible assets is the sum of the expenditure incurred from the 
date when the intangible asset first meets the recognition criteria listed above. Where no internally-generated intangible 
asset can be recognised, development expenditure is recognised in profit or loss in the period in which it is incurred.

Subsequent to initial recognition, internally-generated intangible assets are reported at cost less accumulated amortisation 
and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

(iii)  Intangible assets acquired in a business combination
Intangible assets acquired in a business combination and recognised separately from goodwill are initially recognised at 
their fair value at the acquisition date (which is regarded as their cost).

1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.11  Intangible assets (continued)
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets acquired in a business combination are reported at cost less accumulated 
amortisation and accumulated impairment losses, on the same basis as intangible assets that are acquired separately.

1.12	 Impairment	of	non-financial	assets	(excluding	inventories,	investment	properties	and	deferred	tax	assets)
Impairment tests on goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful economic lives are undertaken annually at the 
financial year end. Other non-financial assets are subject to impairment tests whenever events or changes in circumstances 
indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Where the carrying value of an asset exceeds its recoverable 
amount (i.e. the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs to sell), the asset is written down accordingly.

Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the impairment test is carried out on the 
smallest group of assets to which it belongs for which there are separately identifiable cash flows; its cash generating units 
(‘CGUs’). Goodwill is allocated on initial recognition to each of the Group’s CGUs that are expected to benefit from a business 
combination that gives rise to the goodwill.

Impairment charges are included in profit or loss, except to the extent they reverse gains previously recognised in other 
comprehensive income. An impairment loss recognised for goodwill is not reversed.

1.13  Impairment of tangible and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group 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 Group estimates the recoverable amount of the 
cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, 
corporate assets are also allocated to individual cash-generating units, or otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group 
of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least 
annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

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.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying 
amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised 
immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is 
treated as a revaluation decrease.

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.

1.14  Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the 
instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable 
to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at 
fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as 
appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial 
liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

heading 1heading 2heading 1heading 2Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022Financial Statements1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.14  Financial instruments (continued)
(i)	 Classification	of	financial	instruments
Financial instruments issued by the Group are treated as equity only to the extent that they meet the following two 
conditions:

 — they include no contractual obligations upon the Group to deliver cash or other financial assets or to exchange financial 
assets or financial liabilities with another party under conditions that are potentially unfavourable to the Group; and

 — where the instrument will or may be settled in Induction Healthcare Group plc’s own equity instruments, it is either a 

non-derivative that includes no obligation to deliver a variable number of Induction Healthcare Group plc’s own equity 
instruments or is a derivative that will be settled by the company exchanging a fixed amount of cash or other financial 
assets for a fixed number of its own equity instruments.

To the extent that this definition is not met, the proceeds of issue are classified as a financial liability. Where the instrument 
so classified takes the legal form of Induction Healthcare Group plc’s own shares, the amounts presented in the financial 
statements for called up share capital and share premium account exclude amounts in relation to those shares.

(ii)  Recognition and initial measurement
Non-derivative financial instruments comprise other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, loans and borrowings, and 
trade and other payables. All financial assets and liabilities are initially recognised when the Group becomes a party to 
the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at fair value plus, for items 
measured at amortised cost, transaction costs directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a 
significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(iii)	 Financial	assets	–	classification	and	subsequent	measurement
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortised cost or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”). 
The Group has no financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). A financial asset is 
measured at amortised cost if it is both: held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual 
cash flows; and its contractual terms give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the amount 
outstanding.

(iii)	 Financial	assets	–	classification	and	subsequent	measurement
For the purposes of this assessment, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial asset on initial recognition, and 
“interest” is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount 
outstanding. In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Group 
considers the contractual terms of the instrument, including any terms which may affect the timing or amount of contractual 
cash flows. All financial assets not measured at amortised cost are measured at FVTPL.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value with net gains and losses, including any interest or 
dividend income, recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets measured at amortised cost are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest 
method. The amortised cost is reduced by impairment losses.

Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on 
derecognition is recognised in profit or loss.

(iv)	 Financial	liabilities	–	classification	and	subsequent	measurement
Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortised cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is 
classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are 
recognised in profit or loss.

All other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Interest 
expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also 
recognised in profit or loss.

(continued)

1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.14  Financial instruments (continued)
(v)  Measurement and recognition of expected credit losses
The Group recognises loss allowances for expected credit losses (“ECLs”) on contract assets and financial assets measured 
at amortised cost. The Group measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs, except for cash and cash 
equivalents which is measured using 12-month ECLs. ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses and are 
measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls expected on financial assets, using the effective interest rate of the 
financial asset. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs which result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial 
instrument. When determining ECLs, the Group considers reasonable and supportable qualitative and quantitative 
information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. The Group considers a financial asset to be in default 
when the borrower is unlikely to pay its obligations to the Group in full without recourse by the Group to actions such as 
realising security (if any held) or when the financial asset is more than 90 days overdue.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortised cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the 
assets. The carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Group has no reasonable expectation of recovering a 
financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof.

(vi)  Derecognition
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the asset expire, or when it 
transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of 
ownership are transferred.

The Group derecognises a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire.

(vii)  Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash balances and call deposits. Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and 
form an integral part of the Group’s cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the 
purpose only of the consolidated cash flow statement.

(viii) Business model assessment
The Group makes an assessment of the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level 
as this best reflects the way the business is managed, and information provided to management. The assessment includes 
consideration of the stated objectives of the portfolio, the performance of the portfolio, the risks that affect the performance 
of the business model, and the frequency, volume and timing of sales of financial assets.

1.15	 Defined	contribution	schemes
Contributions to defined contribution pension schemes are charged to the statement of comprehensive income in the year to 
which they relate.

1.16  Cost of sales
Cost of sales consists of the direct costs associated with the Group’s proprietary application. These include costs incurred 
for server hosting, costs incurred to obtain a contract such as sales commission, and costs incurred to deliver on a contract. 
Costs incurred to deliver on a contract are staff costs, which are allocated to cost of sales based on an estimation of the 
proportion of time spent on each contract.

1.17  Segmental reporting
For management purposes, the Group is organised into business units based on its products and services, with separate 
revenue streams being generated by different business units. These business units operate on a shared cost base. The 
Board is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and monitors the operating results of the consolidated Group for 
the purposes of making decisions about resource allocation and performance assessment. Therefore, management have 
determined that the Group has one reportable segment.

1.18  Leases
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if 
the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

At commencement of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to 
each lease component on the basis of its relative stand-alone prices. This includes leases of property.

56

heading 1heading 2heading 1heading 2Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022Financial Statements1.  Accounting policies (continued)

1.18  Leases (continued)
The Group recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is 
initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at 
or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove 
the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the end 
of the lease term, unless the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or 
the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option. In that case the right-of-use asset 
will be depreciated over the useful life of the underlying asset, which is determined on the same basis as those of property 
and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for 
certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement 
date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group’s 
incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Group determines its incremental borrowing rate by obtaining interest rates from various external financing sources and 
makes certain adjustments to reflect the terms of the lease and type of the asset leased.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

 — fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

 — variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the 

commencement date;

 — amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

 — the exercise price under a purchase option that the Group is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an 
optional renewal period if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early 
termination of a lease unless the Group is reasonably certain not to terminate early.

The lease liability is measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change 
in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount 
expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, if the Group changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a 
purchase, extension or termination option or if there is a revised in-substance fixed lease payment.

When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the 
right-of-use asset, or is recorded in profit or loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

The Group presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property in ‘property, plant and 
equipment’ and lease liabilities in ‘other financial liabilities in the statement of financial position.

2.  Reporting entity

Induction Healthcare Group plc is a company incorporated, domiciled and registered in England in the United Kingdom. Its 
principal activity is the provision of software to healthcare professionals. The registered number is 11852026 and the registered 
address is 20 St. Dunstan’s Hill, London, United Kingdom, EC3R 8HL.

Induction Healthcare Group plc was formed on 28 February 2019 with an initial shareholding of 1 share at a nominal value 
of £1. On 1 April 2019, the Group acquired 100% of the share capital of Induction Healthcare Limited, the previous parent 
company of the Group, in a share for share exchange transaction. This has been accounted for as a common control 
transaction under IFRS 3 B1 during the year ended 31 March 2020.

These financial statements include the consolidated financial information of Induction Healthcare Group plc (the “Company”) 
and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the “Group”). Details of Induction Healthcare Group plc’s subsidiaries are included 
in Note 17. The Group has only one reportable segment.

3.  Basis of preparation

Both the financial statements of the Group and the financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance 
with UK-adopted international accounting standards (“UK-Adopted IFRS”). They were authorised for issue by the Group’s 
board of directors on 28 November 2022.

Details of the Group’s accounting policies, including changes during the year, are included in note 1.

These financial statements are presented in pound sterling, which is the Group’s presentational currency. All amounts have 
been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the 
application of the Group accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual 
results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised 
prospectively.

The areas where judgements and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effects are 
disclosed in note 5.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

4  New standards, interpretations and amendments

The following new and amended IFRSs have been issued and been early-adopted by the Group in these financial 
statements. This did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

 — Amendments of IFRS 3, “Business Combinations” (effective 1 January 2022). This amends the reference to the Conceptual 
Framework. Management have applied the amended definition of a business in assessing all business combinations 
completed during the year. The impact of this has not been material to the financial statements.

 — Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment” (effective 1 January 2022) which clarified the position regarding 

proceeds before intended use. This standard has had no impact on the financial statements.

 — Amendments to IAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, (effective 1 January 2022), regarding the 

costs of fulfilling a contract. The impact of this has not been material to the financial statements.

 — Interest Rate Benchmark Reform (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16), (effective 1 January 2021). The 

impact of this has not been material to the financial statements.

 — Amendments to IFRS 16 “Leases”, (effective 1 April 2021), related to COVID-19 related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 

2021. The impact of this has not been material to the financial statements.

5.  Accounting estimates and judgements

5.1	 Significant	judgements
Development costs
The Group capitalises costs for product development projects. Initial capitalisation of costs is based on management’s 
judgement that technological and economic feasibility is confirmed. Significant judgement is applied by management in 
determining the point at which technical feasibility is reached, as well as determining the economic feasibility of the  
project/feature.

Technological feasibility is achieved at the point at which the product, project or feature is determined to be technically 
capable of being built which the Group assess with reference to the functionality of other products in the market, and the 
Group has assess it has the resources available to complete the development. 

58

heading 1heading 2heading 1heading 2Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022Financial Statements5.  Accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

Economic feasibility is achieved when a market for the product has been identified and management have determined that 
the product will generate future economic benefits, which can be demonstrated by either chargin the customer incremental 
licence fees for a new feature, generating internal const savings to the Group, or increased likelihood of customer renewals. 
The judgement is most significant where the future economic benefit of a project is determined to be in the form of increased 
likelihood of customer contract renewals, where evidence of customer likeliness to renew due to a particular project is 
uncertain and subjective. Of the additions to internally generated intangible assets disclosed in Note 5.2, £0.2m of additions 
capitalised by Zesty Limited (2021: £Nil) and £0.2m of additions capitalised by Attend Anywhere Limited were deemed to 
generate probable future economic benefit via customer renewals.

In concluding on the judgement whether economic feasibility has been met, management  have considered, 
correspondence with customers; past trends in renewal rates; feature differentiation for which there is demand, and the 
functionality of other similar product features in the market indicates technical feasibility. 

Going concern
The directors have applied significant judgement regarding renewals of existing contracts with major customers, in particular 
NHS customers, in the going concern assessment. Refer to note 1.2 for full details.

5.2	 Significant	estimates	and	assumptions
Development costs
In determining the amounts to be capitalised, management makes assumptions regarding the percentage of employee time 
spent on development activities. At 31 March 2022 the carrying amount of capitalised development costs was £6.3m (2021: 
£1.9m), of which £2.3m relates to Zesty Limited (2021: £1.6m) and £3.5m to Attend Anywhere Limited (2021 £Nil). This included 
additions to internally generated intangible assets of £3.1m (2021: £1.7m), of which £1.2m relates to Zesty Limited (2021: £1.0m) 
and £1.6m to Attend Anywhere Limited (2021: £Nil). In determining the estimated percentage of time, management considers: 
the role of the employee; whether the activity is of a research nature (which is not capitalised); whether the standard activities 
the employee performs are project or customer specific (not capitalised) or related to the development of the products of the 
entity; and an estimate of other time spent on administrative activities such as training. The percentage of time capitalised 
is determined on an individual employee basis and is reflective of the time spent purely on developing the products and 
services of the group for sale to a range of customers. There is a high level of estimation uncertainty to the estimates used, as 
there is no time tracking system in place for employees to record time spent on a certain activity at the point at which that 
time is incurred. Development costs capitalised are highly sensitive to the percentages used.

During the year ended 31 March 2022, the average percentage of development costs capitalised, as a percentage of total 
staff costs for development related employees was 60% or £3.1m (2021: 62% or £1.7m). A reasonably possible decrease of 
10 percentage points would result in a decrease in the costs capitalised during the year of £0.6m, resulting in a corresponding 
decrease in the capitalised development cost balance and an increase in losses for the year. 10 percentage points is 
considered a reasonably possible change in the capitalisation percentage for an individual employee’s time, based on 
management’s historical experience in the variability of time spent on development activities.

Impairment of goodwill
Impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the 
higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value-in-use. Management do not calculate the fair value less costs of 
disposal, as reliable inputs to fair value are not available for the assets, therefore the recoverable amount is the value-in-use.

The value-in-use (“VIU”) calculation is based on a Discounted Cash Flow (“DCF”) model. The cash flows are derived from the 
budget for the next two years and projections for another three years and do not include restructuring activities that the 
Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the performance of the assets of the CGU 
being tested (including those related to research and development activities performed to create new feature functionality). 
The recoverable amount is sensitive to the discount rate used for the DCF model; the expected future cash-inflows and 
cash outflows; the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes and the estimation of cash flows incurred to enhance 
the performance of the assets in the CGU which are excluded from cash outflows. Management considers EBITDA to be 
representative of future cash-inflows and outflows. These estimates are most relevant to goodwill recognised by the Group 
and apply to the Induction Zesty and Induction Attend Anywhere CGU’s.

59

heading 1heading 2heading 1heading 2Induction HealthcareAnnual Report & Accounts 2022Financial StatementsFinancial StatementsNotes (forming part of the financial statements) 
(continued)

5.  Accounting estimates and judgements (continued)

The key assumptions are related to the estimation of the discount rate; the cash inflows and outflows which determine 
EBITDA; and the cash flows incurred to maintain rather than enhance the performance of the assets in the CGU. The primary 
source of estimation uncertainty arises from the combined impact of reasonably possible changes in two or more of the 
above assumptions. Cash inflows are primarily influenced by assumptions about existing customers’ renewal rates; sales 
of additional services to existing customers; sales made to new customers; the price of the services and the timing of the 
completion of set-up activities for new customers (or “go-lives”). The major sources of estimation uncertainty in determining 
cash inflows are the renewal rates of contracts with customers, the number of new customers contracted in a period, and the 
timing of the completion of set-up activities for these new customers. Cash outflows are primarily influenced by employee 
and non-employee workforce costs, supplier costs such as cloud hosting costs, an allocation of corporate overheads 
and an estimation of the percentage of employee time spent on research and development activities which enhance the 
performance of the assets. The primary sources of estimation uncertainty for cash outflows arises from the estimation of 
the percentage of employee time spent on research and development activities which enhance the performance of the 
assets and are therefore excluded from the DCF. Based on the sensitivity analysis performed by management, none of the 
assumptions mentioned above give rise to significant estimation uncertainty (or an impairment) on an individual basis, but do 
so in aggregate.

The key assumptions used to determine the recoverable amount for the different CGUs, including a sensitivity analysis, are 
disclosed and further explained in Note 18. The carrying amount of each CGU is disclosed in Note 18.

Valuation of acquired intangibles
Management have made estimates in determining the value of intangible assets (comprising technology and customer 
related intangibles) acquired in its business combinations. Due to numerous assumptions made on variables within the 
valuation, there is a high level of estimation uncertainty. 

The assumptions applied in valuing the technology related intangible assets include projections of cash inflows from 
contracts with customers, the obsolescence rate, profit margins, corporate tax rates, contributory asset charges and the 
discount rate applied to cash flows. Projections of cash inflows from contracts with customers are influenced by customer 
attrition rate assumptions and pricing assumptions. The obsolescence rate represents a rate at which the technology 
become obsolete, which is a proxy for the number of years over which the Group updates and replaces the underlying 
software in order to maintain existing competitiveness. The valuation of technology assets is most sensitive to cash inflows 
from contracts with customers and obsolescence rates.

The assumptions applied in valuing the customer related intangible are projections of cash inflows from contracts with 
customers, profit margins, corporate tax, working capital requirements, commission rates paid to resellers under the “without” 
scenario and the discount rate. Projections of cash inflows from contracts with customers are influenced by customer attrition 
rate assumptions and pricing assumptions. The value of the customer related intangible is most sensitive to the cash inflows 
from contracts with customers.

The post-tax discount rate used in the valuations was 16%. Management have also determined and disclosed sensitivities of 
the valuations to these assumptions. Please refer to Note 15 for more information.

5.3  Other judgements
Research and development tax credit
Management have recognised research and development tax credits for claims submitted for the years ended 31 March 
2020, 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2022. The claim for the year ended 31 March 2020 recognised in the current year is in 
respect of two subsidiary entities for which there previously was significant uncertainty as to whether the claim would 
be successful. As a result of more evidence of successful claims, it is now judged that it is probably that these claims will 
be successful and thus have been recognised in the current year. The claim for the year ended 31 March 2020 has been 
submitted to HM Revenue & Customs and has been successfully settled post year-end for one subsidiary. Management have 
recognised the research and development tax credit for claims for the years ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2022 which 
have not yet been submitted to HM Revenue & Customs, based on the judgement that historical evidence indicates that the 
claim is likely to be successful. These claims are in relation to two subsidiaries. One further subsidiary performs R&D activities, 
however claims for the years ended 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2022 have not been recognised due to changes in the nature 
of development activities, and management have assessed it is unlikely that they will meet the definition of a qualifying 
activity. This judgement was classified as a significant judgement in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 
2021, but not for the year ended 31 March 2022. This is due to the fact that this judgement was first made in the year ended 
31 March 2021, and management therefore had less historical evidence of successful claims, than in the year ended 31 March 
2022.

Determination of material rights and contractual terms
The Group recognises licenced subscription revenue from the date that all set-up services have been completed, based 
on either the user acceptance testing completion date or the “go-live” date. The contracts of the Group contain both 
termination clauses and renewal options, and management makes a judgement on a contract-by-contract basis as to 
whether these clauses grant a material right to the customer. Where management concludes that a material right exists, 
this material right affects the term over which implementation revenue is recognised and whether it represents a separate 
performance obligation. This judgement was classified as a significant judgement in the financial statements for the 
year ended 31 March 2021, but not for the year ended 31 March 2022. This is due to the fact that this judgement was more 
significant in the year ended 31 March 2021, as the Group had acquired the Zesty entity and its contractual relationships in 
that year, and management assessed each contract for compliance with UK-adopted IFRS.

Recognition of deferred tax assets
Deferred tax assets are recognised for unused tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available 
against which the losses can be utilised. Management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets 
that can be recognised, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits, together with future tax planning 
strategies.

The Group has £16.9m (2021: £15.6m) of tax losses carried forward. These losses relate to subsidiaries that have a history of 
losses and do not expire. Some of these subsidiaries neither have any taxable temporary difference nor any tax planning 
opportunities available that could partly support the recognition of these losses as deferred tax assets.

Two subsidiaries have future taxable profits and deferred tax liabilities, and the Group has recognised deferred tax assets on 
the tax losses carried forward to the extent that there are sufficient offsetting deferred tax liabilities.

If the Group was able to recognise all unrecognised deferred tax assets, profit and equity would have increased by £4.2m 
(2021: £2.9m). This is not considered to be a reasonably possible outcome. Further details on taxes are disclosed in Note 13.

This judgement was classified as a significant judgement in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021, but 
not for the year ended 31 March 2022. This is due to the fact that this judgement was more significant in the year ended 
31 March 2021, as the Group had acquired the Zesty entity and its deferred tax assets in that year.

6.  Prior Period Adjustment

During the year ended 31 March 2021 the Group acquired Zesty Limited (“Induction Zesty”), and in the year ended 31 March 
2020 acquired Horizon Strategic Partners Limited (“Induction Guidance”). As a result of applying IFRS 3 in accounting for 
acquisitions, the Group is required to determine the fair value of all acquired assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. 
This includes determining the fair value of the contract liabilities (“deferred income”) of the acquiree. The fair value of the 
contract liabilities (and therefore revenue subsequently recognised) was less than the amounts recognised by Induction Zesty 
and Induction Guidance in their standalone financial records. In the consolidated annual financial statements for the year 
ended 31 March 2021, the Group presented revenue gross of the IFRS 3 fair value adjustment, with a fair value charge of £0.2m 
included in administrative expenses equal to the IFRS fair value adjustment, instead of presenting revenue based on the fair 
value of contract liabilities calculated on acquisition. 

This has been restated as follows:

for the year, nor on any components of equity presented in the prior year statement of changes in equity, the prior year 
statement of financial position or the prior year statement of cash flows. The adjustment had no impact on opening net 
assets.

The Group operates a defined contribution pension plan which was put in place in October 2018. The total expense relating 
to the plan in the year was £0.3m (2021: £0.1m).

11.  Share-based payments

11.1  Details of the employee share option of the Group
On the admission to the AIM market on 22 May 2019, the Group established the Non-tax Advantaged Share Option Plan (“the 
NTA Plan”) which awards executive directors, management and other employees share options. The awards are granted 
in the form of share options over ordinary shares of £0.005 each with the intent of normal vesting after a minimum period 
of three years from the date of grant, and an exercise price of £0.005 per option. Vesting is subject to continued services 
of the participant. No options issued during the year had any vesting conditions other than service conditions attached. 
The Group accounts for the plan as an equity settled plan. During the year ended 31 March 2021, the Group amended the 
vesting periods in the NTA Plan. The vesting period were amended to allow for vesting in tranches, whereby one-third of the 
options awarded vest after one year of service, and the remaining two-thirds of the options vest on a quarterly basis over the 
remaining two years. No changes were made to the plan in the year ended 31 March 2022.

11.2  Expense recognised during the year
The expense recognised for employee services received during the year is:

2021

11.3  Fair value of share options granted in the year
The fair value of share options is estimated at the grant date using a Black-Scholes-Merton model, taking into account the 
terms and conditions on which the options were granted.

The expected life of share options is based on current expectations and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that 
may occur. Due to the fact that the Induction Healthcare Group plc does not have listed share data for the same period 
as the expected life of the share options, the expected volatility is based on an average of the volatilities of comparable 
companies in comparative industries and of the same market capitalisation as the Group. This volatility reflects an 
assumption that the volatility is indicative of future trends, which may not necessarily be the actual outcome.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for the share options outstanding as at 31 March 2022 was 2.16 years 
(2021: 3.09). Options expire after 10 years.

The weighted average fair value of options granted during the year was £1.05 (2021: £0.93).

Tax at the standard rate of corporation tax of 20.13% (2021: 19%)
Research & development tax relief
Expenses not deductible for tax purposes

Expenses not deductible for tax purposes primarily relate to the impairment of the investment in Induction Healthcare 
Limited in the standalone financial statements of Induction Healthcare Group plc (refer to Note 5 in the Company financial 
statements), and also to unrealised foreign exchange differences on foreign currency cash balances in one subsidiary, which 
are deductible only once these realise (ie. on settlement of the balance). Prior year adjustments on deferred tax relate to 
the deferred tax impact of impairments on acquired intangible assets for the year ended 31 March 2021. Deferred tax not 
recognised relates to unused tax losses carried forward, for which deferred tax assets are only recognised to the extent that 
there are deferred tax liabilities available with the same tax authority and which will be unwound in the same period as the 
deferred tax asset. Other timing differences relate to a variety of immaterial timing differences other than those related to 
intangible assets or tax losses.

Changes in tax rates and factors affecting the future tax charges
The main rate of corporation tax will increase from 19% to 25% with effect from 1 April 2023. This change was introduced by 
Finance Bill 2021 which was substantially enacted on 24 May 2021. Therefore, the timing differences for the UK companies are 
recognised at 25% for deferred tax purposes.

The rate of corporation tax is 25% in Australia for the 2021-22 income year.

Current tax assets relate to research and development tax credits in respect of 2 subsidiaries, for the years ended 31 March 
2020, 31 March 2021 and 31 March 2022. The claim for the year ended 31 March 2020 was submitted to HMRC and settled 
post-year end for one subsidiary.

13.3 Deferred tax balances
A deferred tax liability of £3.7m (2021: £0.8m) has been recognised in relation to the fair value of intangible assets acquired 
in a business combinations. A deferred tax liability of £1.05m has been recognised in relation to the fair value adjustments to 
contract liabilities acquired in business combinations. A deferred tax asset of £0.7m (2021: £0.8m) was recognised in relation 
to unused tax losses acquired in business combinations. This deferred tax asset was recognised only to the extent that 
there are deferred tax liabilities available with the same tax authority and which will be unwound in the same period as the 
deferred tax asset.

A deferred tax asset of £4.2m (2021: £2.8m) has not been recognised due to uncertainty over future taxable profits in the 
relevant subsidiaries with tax losses. The unrecognised deferred tax asset includes those in relation to tax losses of £17m (2021: 
£14.6m). These amounts exclude amounts related to Horizon Strategic Partners Limited, which is expected to generate profits 
and for which a deferred tax asset of £0.05m (2021: £0.08m) has been recognised. They also exclude those for Zesty Limited, 
where deferred tax assets have been recognised in relation to the deferred tax liabilities for the intangible fixed assets 
acquired through business combinations. A deferred tax asset of £0.6m (2021:£0.8m) has been recognised for Zesty Limited.

As part of the transaction, the Group also completed a fundraise by issuing 35,714,285 new ordinary shares.

15.  Business combinations during the year

15.1  Subsidiary Acquired
On 9 June 2021, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 83.5% of the share capital of Attend Anywhere Pty Limited and 
100% of the share capital of A.C.N. 167 231 307 PTY Ltd (“A.C.N.”), which owns 16.5% of the share capital of Attend Anywhere Pty 
Limited, thereby obtaining 100% control over Attend Anywhere Pty Limited. Attend Anywhere Pty Limited owns 100% of the 
share capital of Attend Anywhere Limited, a UK subsidiary.

The consideration included cash consideration of £16.4m, plus the issue of 14,285,714 new ordinary shares which had a fair 
value of £9m. This brings the total consideration to £25.4m prior to transaction costs.

Attend Anywhere is a leading provider of video consultations in the UK secondary care market, holding national contracts 
with NHS Scotland, NHS Wales and the HSE in Ireland, alongside a number of regional contracts in England. Attend 
Anywhere’s proprietary technology, allows users to easily access and use the video service via a common browser, without 
the need for plug-ins or downloading a native app.

The Group’s strategy is to build a leading and future-forward integrated virtual care platform, incorporating patient 
onboarding, clinical guidelines, digital communications, online appointment management and, via the acquisition of Attend 
Anywhere, video consultations. While the current focus is on secondary care, there is scope to migrate into allied care 
settings, such as primary care, mental health and community care.

Attend Anywhere is a clear strategic fit with Induction and the acquisition will provide a number of commercial, operational 
and financial benefits, which are expected to create value for shareholders.

The fair value of cash consideration equals its carrying value. The fair value of the equity consideration has been determined 
with reference to the market value of the shares of Induction Healthcare Group plc immediately prior to the issue of the 
consideration shares, adjusted for the impact of a lack of marketability discount of 10%. The lack of marketability discount 
arises as a result of restrictions on the trading of the shares issued to the former owners of Attend Anywhere Pty Limited and 
A.C.N 167 231 307 Pty Ltd as consideration for the acquisition of the company, for a period after the acquisition. Restrictions on 
trading of shares extend for 12 months after acquisition date and share prices may be affected once these restrictions cease.

Income Approach: With and without method. This method estimates the value of 
customer related assets by quantifying the impact on cash flows under a scenario 
in which the customer-related assets must be replaced. The projected revenues, 
operating expenses, and cash flows are calculated in a “With” and “Without” 
scenario, and the differential between the cash flows from the two scenarios serve 
as the basis for estimating the fair value of the customer-related asset.

Excess Earnings Method: a stream of revenue and expenses are identified with a 
particular group of assets that are necessary to support the earnings associated 
with the subject intangible asset. By identifying and subtracting contributory assets, 
the residual earnings are estimated to be attributable to the subject intangible 
asset and are discounted to present value at an appropriate discount rate. An 
obsolescence rate of 25% is applied to the forecasts used in the valuation model.

The fair value of the of the deferred revenue liability has been determined using 
the bottom-up approach. Under this approach the fair value is determined to 
be equal to the costs still to be incurred in fulfilling the performance obligations 
related to the contract liability, plus an associated profit on these costs. The costs 
still to be incurred in satisfying the remaining performance obligations are hosting 
fees, staff costs to support the operation of the platform and provide support and 
maintenance and other software fees necessary for the operation of the platform. 
A mark-up on cost to be incurred in fulfilling the performance obligation of 28% was 
applied.

Goodwill arising on acquisition relates to the strategic fit with the existing products of the Group and strengthened market 
position for the Group. Goodwill includes intangible assets that were not valued separately, such as the assembled 
workforce, potential savings for economies of scale, and potential development of further product offerings using existing 
know-how in the business acquired.

15.6 Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group
From the date of acquisition, Attend Anywhere Pty Limited and A.C.N. 167 231 307 PTY Ltd contributed £5.7m to the revenue of 
the group and profit before tax of £1.1m. The Group has not disclosed the impact to revenue and profit before tax for the  
12 month period under IFRS3.B64, as it is impracticable to determine the impact of the IFRS 3 fair value adjustment to contract 
liabilities (“deferred income”) at 1 April 2021.

15.7  Sensitivity analysis
The valuation of acquired technology assets and customer related assets is most sensitive to changes in the assumptions 
made regarding cash inflows / revenues. The primary assumptions that influence cash inflows / revenues for both the 
technology assets and customer relate assets are the customer attrition rate and growth in contract prices for forecasted 
contracts with customers. The reasonable range of outcomes and sensitivity analysis is presented on an aggregate basis as 
cash inflows from contracts with customers. A 15 percentage point difference downwards and 5 percentage point difference 
upwards in cash inflows from contracts with customers in each forecast year is considered a reasonable possible range, 
based on management’s understanding of potential pricing pressures and renewal probabilities for contracts at the next 
renewal date. In addition, the valuation of technology assets is also sensitive to changes in the annual obsolescence rate. A 
5 percentage point variation in the obsolescence rate is considered reasonably possible based on a change of one year in 
the useful economic life of the asset.

The following table demonstrates the impact of a reasonably possible range of outcomes on the valuation of technology 
assets.

16.1  Subsidiaries acquired
On 8 June 2020, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 100% of the share capital of Zesty Limited for a consideration 
comprising £500,000 in cash, plus the issue of 12,424,527 New Ordinary Shares.

Zesty Limited is a digital healthcare patient engagement platform company. Zesty’s platform provides an integration 
layer with a hospital’s EMR and a portal that allows patients to manage their hospital outpatient appointments, read their 
administrative and clinical correspondence, attend a video-based consultation and store a personal copy of their clinical 
record, through this integration layer.

Zesty was acquired due to the fact that integrating Zesty and Induction’s technologies, the enlarged group will, in the 
Directors’ view, be one of the first technology platforms to interconnect patients, clinicians and healthcare information across 
both multiple hospital sites and EPR platforms. The Directors expect the acquisition to provide many synergistic benefits, 
including sales to the same sales channel, pooling software engineering resources, and bringing extensive experience to 
management and the Board of Directors.

The separately identifiable intangible assets and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of these material 
assets acquired were as follows:

Assets acquired
Trade Name

Valuation technique
Relief-from-royalty savings method. This method considers the discounted estimated royalty 
payments that are expected to be avoided as a result of the patents being owned.

Customer relationships

Technology 

Premium profits method. This method estimates the value of customer-related assets by 
quantifying the impact on cash flows under a scenario in which the customer related assets must 
be replaced, assuming all of the assets required to operate the business are in place except the 
customer-related assets.

Replacement cost method. This method establishes value based on the cost of reproducing or 
replacing the asset, less depreciation from functional or economic obsolescence. A corroborating 
analysis was performed using the multi-period excess earnings method. The multi-period excess 
earnings method considers the present value of net cash flows expected to be generated by the 
customer relationships, by excluding any cash flows related to contributory assets.

Acquisition related costs of £0.3m were recognised in administrative expenses. Acquisition related costs of £0.1m relate to the 
issuance of shares and were capitalised to share premium. All issue costs were recognised.

16.6 Impact of acquisition on the results of the Group
From the date of acquisition, Zesty Limited contributed £0.9m to the revenue of the group and net losses of £1.9m to the 
loss before tax from continuing operations of the Group. If the acquisition had taken place at the beginning of the year, 
contribution to revenue from continuing operations would have been £1.0m and contribution to loss before tax from 
continuing operations for the Group would have been £2.3m.

During the year ended 31 March 2021, the performance of the Induction Switch app did not align to management’s previous 
expectations and forecasts. This was due to challenges in monetising the app, due to the COVID-19 pandemic changing 
priorities for the customers of the Group. As a result of this, management’s forecasts of future cash inflows were updated to 
reflect these delays in monetisation. These challenges continued into the year ended 31 March 2022. As such the recoverable 
amount of the Induction Switch CGU continues to be £nil as at 31 March 2022 (2021: £nil).

During the year ended 31 March 2022, the recoverable amount of Induction Zesty increased from £10.9m to £19.1m. This is 
due to the positive shift in market sentiment as health systems around the world are now focused on post-COVID recovery. 
Induction Zesty is increasingly playing a critical role in reducing elective waiting lists, resulting in increased forecast cash 
inflows throughout the forecast period. In addition, during the year, the Group has invested in additional product and feature 
development for the Zesty platform to enhance the capabilities of the asset.

*   Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using a declining growth rate, determined using the H-model. The H-model 

uses a gradually declining growth rate of between 2.5% to 10%, with a higher growth component beyond the five-year forecast period as 
inputs to estimate the present value of the higher growth component

18.4 Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations and sensitivity to changes in assumptions
The calculation of value-in-use for all 3 CGU’s is most sensitive to the following assumptions:

 — Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (“EBITDA”). EBITDA is significantly influenced by cash inflows, 
cash outflows and the estimation of cash flows incurred to enhance the performance of the asset (which are excluded 
from cash outflows).

 — Discount rates

18.  Goodwill (continued)

18.4 Key assumptions used in value-in-use calculations and sensitivity to changes in assumptions (continued)
EBITDA – EBITDA is determined by deducting the budgeted costs to be incurred (cash outflows) from payments received 
from customers (cash inflows). Cash in-and-outflows are determined based on detailed budgets for the first two years of the 
forecast period, and then extrapolated for the remaining forecast period using an appropriately declining growth rate to 
reach the terminal growth rate. Detailed budgets for payments received from customers are determined using assumptions 
on existing customer renewal rates; sales of additional services to existing customers; sales made to new customers; pricing 
assumptions based on a standard price list as determined by the Group’s pricing policy, and assumptions regarding the 
timing of the completion of set-up activities for new customers (or “go-lives”). Cash outflows primarily consist of employee 
and non-employee workforce costs, supplier costs such as cloud hosting costs; and an allocation of the corporate 
overhead costs. Cash outflows exclude outflows that are related to research and development activities which enhance 
the performance of the assets, such as new feature development. These are determined through an estimation of the 
percentage of employee time spent on research and development activities which enhance the performance of the assets. 
This percentage is based on management’s assessment of future time to be spent on new product development, based on 
product strategies and roadmaps. It also takes into account management’s past experience of time spent on capitalisable 
development activities and is consistent with rates used for this purpose. 

During the year ended 31 March 2021, a reasonably possible decrease of 1% in EBITDA would not have resulted in an 
impairment of either the Zesty or Induction Guidance CGU. A decrease of 7.4% would have resulted in the impairment of 
the Zesty CGU. A decrease of 32.6% would have resulted in the impairment of the Induction Guidance CGU. During the year 
ended 31 March 2021, a reasonably possible rise in the pre-tax discount rate of 1% to 18.4% in the Zesty CGU would have 
resulted in the elimination of the headroom of the CGU. A rise in the pre-tax discount rate of 5.5% to 23.2% in the Induction 
Guidance CGU would have resulted in the elimination of the headroom of the CGU.

Management have sensitised each significant type of assumption affecting EBITDA separately below for the Induction 
Attend Anywhere and Induction Zesty CGU’s. Management has not presented a sensitivity analysis for the Induction 
Guidance CGU, since no assumptions applied in the VIU analysis for this CGU result in significant estimation uncertainty, 
whether individually or in aggregating the impact of all reasonably possible changes in assumptions. Sensitivity analysis has 
been performed by decreasing cash inflows and increasing cash outflows in each forecast year by the relevant percentage 
disclosed below.

5% is considered to be a reasonably possible decrease for the Induction Attend Anywhere CGU due to the maturity of the 
products, high renewal rates, and lower reliance on new customer wins within this CGU. The 5% reasonably possible decrease 
in cash inflows for Attend Anywhere has reduced from the 15% reasonably possible decrease as disclosed in Note 15. This is 
due to the fact that, at acquisition date, there was higher uncertainty as to the likelihood of renewals of customer contracts, 
as well as higher uncertainty in pricing pressure. At 31 March 2022, management considered this uncertainty to decrease due 
to high renewal rates for Attend Anywhere contracts in March 2022 and reduced uncertainty on contract pricing given the 
expected resolution of government funding to customers. In contrast, the products within the Zesty CGU are at a less mature 
stage of the product lifecycle and forecasts are more reliant on new customers, and therefore there is a higher likelihood of a 
higher decrease in cash inflows, at 15%.

5% is considered to be a reasonably possible increase in the cash outflows of the Attend Anywhere CGU due to the maturity 
of the business and therefore availability of historical data regarding the costs to be incurred to operate the business. In 
contrast, the Zesty CGU is at a less mature stage of the product life cycle and therefore there is a greater range of outcomes 
on costs.

25% is considered to be a reasonably possible decrease in the cash outflows related to the enhancement of assets, as this is 
considered to be the variability in the estimate of time to be spent on enhancement of assets versus maintenance of assets, 
based on the resource plans of the Group.

Discount rates – Discount rates represent the current market assessment of the risks specific to each CGU, taking into 
account the time value of money and individual risks of the underlying assets that have been incorporated in the cash 
flow estimates. The discount rate calculation is based on the specific circumstances of the Group and is derived from the 
weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”). The WACC takes into account both debt and equity. The cost of equity is 
derived from the expected return on investment by the Group’s investors. The cost of debt is based on the interest-bearing 
borrowings the Group is obliged to service. These were £Nil for the year ended 31 March 2022 (2021: £Nil). The beta factors 
were first evaluated in the year ended 31 March 2020, based on publicly available market data, and re-evaluated in the 
year ended 31 March 2022. CGU specific risk is incorporated into the company specific risk premiums. During the year ended 
31 March 2022, the company specific risk premium for the Induction Guidance CGU was revised downwards from 3% to 1.5%, 
due to the maturity of the products within the CGU, which results in a lower risk within the CGU and decrease in the pre-tax 
discount rate. With regards to the Zesty CGU, there have been no changes to the post-tax discount rate from that used for 
the year ended 31 March 2021. However, tax cash outflows have reduced from those projected in the year ended 31 March 
2021, which accounts for the decrease in the pre-tax discount rate from 17.4% to 15.2%. Adjustments to the discount rate are 
made to factor in the specific amount and timing of the future cash flows arising from income tax in order to reflect a pre-tax 
discount rate. The assumptions made in determining the discount rate were updated during the year ended 31 March 2022 
to reflect the changes in the nature of the business as a result of the acquisition of Attend Anywhere Pty Ltd, however this did 
not result in a change in the post-tax discount rate for the Group. Discount rates are reviewed each year. Pre-tax discount 
rates as disclosed above are dependent on the tax rates in the jurisdiction where the CGU is based and therefore differ from 
the Group’s WACC. One percentage point is considered a reasonably possible increase in the discount rate.

Aggregate sensitivities
As can be noted from the above sensitivities, no reasonably possible change in an individual key assumption results in an 
impairment. However, a combination of changes in assumptions may result in an impairment. The below tables summarises 
the impact of the combination of all reasonably possible changes in assumptions. The below scenario demonstrates the 
impact should all reasonably possible changes in assumptions occur at the upper end of the reasonably possible range. 
Other reasonably possible changes in more than one of these assumptions in combination could lead to a material 
impairment.

Total trade and other receivables

The carrying value of trade and other receivables classified as loans and receivables approximates fair value.

Trade receivables are non-interest bearing and are generally on terms of 30 days. Included within trade and other 
receivables is £nil expected to be recovered in more than 12 months (2020: £nil).

An allowance for expected credit losses is not material to the Group, due to the nature of the customers of the Group 
(primarily NHS), for which the risk of default has been assessed to be negligible.

Other changes (including transfers from contract assets on invoice of accrued amounts) relates to the offsetting of contract 
asset (“accrued income”) balances for subscriptions that have renewed but have not yet been invoiced, against contract 
liabilities (“deferred income”), when those accrued balances are invoiced (and therefore derecognised). Since the revenue 
has been recognised already through accrued income, this offset is required in order to ensure the contract liabilities balance 
represents the balance of performance obligations not yet satisfied.

26.  Share capital

For the purposes of the Group’s capital management, capital includes issued share capital, share premium and all other 
equity reserves attributable to the equity holders of the parent. The primary objective of the Group’s capital management 
is to maximise shareholder value. The Group manages its capital structure and makes adjustments in light of changes in 
economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Group does not have any interest-bearing loans 
and borrowings. There have been no changes to the Group’s capital management policies and processes during the year 
ended 31 March 2022.

The holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are entitled to one vote per 
share at meetings of Induction Healthcare Group plc.

On 9 June 2021, the Group acquired Attend Anywhere Pty Ltd (“Attend Anywhere”). The consideration included the issue of 
14,285,714 new Ordinary Shares (the “Consideration Shares”). (Refer Note 15 for further details).

As part of the transaction, on 8 June 2021, the Company announced that it had raised £25m through a placing of 35,714,285 
new Ordinary Shares at a price of 70p per share.

The number of share options granted to employees of the Group that are exercisable at 31 March 2022 is 1,388,724. An 
equivalent number of shares will be issued in future on exercise of the options by employees.

During the year ended 31 March 2020, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired Podmedics Limited in a share-for-share 
exchange. £0.4m of the purchase consideration was accounted for as share premium. However, during the year ended 
31 March 2022 management have assessed that the conditions set out in section 612 of the Companies Act 2006 were met at 
the acquisition date, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the shares issued and the nominal value have been 
reclassified from share premium to the merger reserve. This has been reclassified in the current year rather than treated as a 
prior period adjustment, as it is neither quantitatively nor qualitatively material.

Foreign exchange reserve
The translation reserve comprises all foreign exchange differences arising since 5 March 2018 (date of incorporation) from the 
translation of the financial information of foreign operations.

27.  Reserves (continued)

Merger reserve
On 1 April 2019, Induction Healthcare Group plc and Induction Healthcare Limited executed a share for share exchange, 
whereby Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 100% of the share capital in Induction Healthcare Limited, in consideration for 
the issuance of shares in Induction Healthcare Group plc to the shareholders of Induction Healthcare Limited. This was done on 
the basis of one ordinary share in Induction Healthcare Group plc for each ordinary share in Induction Healthcare Limited.

Induction Healthcare Group plc issued 65,590 shares with a nominal value of £1 to the holders of equivalent shares in 
Induction Healthcare Limited. This has been treated as a common control transaction and the comparative historical 
financial statements have been presented as if the transaction had already taken place. At the point of acquisition, Induction 
Healthcare Limited had retained losses of £0.01m, and therefore a merger reserve has been recognised for this amount. The 
transaction has been accounted for at book value.

On 8 June 2020, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 100% of the share capital of Zesty Limited for a consideration 
comprising £0.5m in cash, plus the issue of 12,424,527 New Ordinary Shares. The acquisition was effected by way of a share-
for-share exchange, whereby the shareholders of Zesty Limited exchanged their shares for an equivalent number of shares 
in Induction Healthcare Group plc. The difference between the nominal amount of the shares and the fair value of the shares 
has been recognised in the merger reserve.

During the year ended 31 March 2022, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 83.5% of the share capital of Attend 
Anywhere Pty Limited and 100% of the share capital of A.C.N. 167 231 307 PTY Ltd, which owns 16.5% of the share capital of 
Attend Anywhere, thereby obtaining 100% control over Attend Anywhere. Attend Anywhere Pty Limited owns 100% of the 
share capital of Attend Anywhere Limited, a UK subsidiary. Prior to the acquisition, a fundraise of £25m was held which led to 
the issue of 35,714,285 New Ordinary Shares. The consideration included payments of £0.8m in cash for the purchase of net 
assets at the completion date, cash consideration of £15.6m, plus the issue of 14,285,714 New Ordinary Shares which had a fair 
value of £9m. The acquisition was effected by way of a share-for-share exchange, whereby the shareholders of Zesty Limited 
exchanged their shares for an equivalent number of shares in Induction Healthcare Group plc. The difference between the 
nominal amount of the shares and the fair value of the shares has been recognised in the merger reserve.

Where the conditions set out in section 612 of the Companies Act 2006 or equivalent sections of previous Companies Acts are 
met, shares issued as part of the consideration in a business combination are measured at their fair value in the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position, and the difference between the nominal value and fair value of the shares issued is 
recognised in the merger reserve.

the acquisition date, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the shares issued and the nominal value have 
been reclassified from share premium to the merger reserve. This has been reclassified in the current year rather than treated 
as a prior period adjustment, as it is neither quantitatively nor qualitatively material.

Other reserves
Other reserves arise from the Group’s equity settled share option scheme. Refer to Note 10 for further details.

Management have assessed that the fair values of cash and short-term deposits and other receivables approximate their 
carrying amounts largely due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.

28.4 Financial risk management objectives
The Group’s principal financial liabilities, comprise loans and borrowings, and trade and other payables. The main purpose of 
these financial liabilities is to finance the Group’s operations. The Group’s principal financial assets include trade receivables, 
and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.

The Group has exposure to the following principal financial risks in the operation and management of its business:

(i)  Market risk 
(ii)  Foreign currency risk; 
(ii)  Credit risk; and 
(iii)  Liquidity risk

28.5 Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in 
market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices. Market risk comprises three types of risk: 
interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk. Interest rate risk is not considered to be material to the Group. The Group is 
not exposed to any other market risks aside from foreign currency risk.

28.6 Foreign currency risk management
Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of an exposure will fluctuate because of changes in 
foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s 
operating activities (when revenue or expense is denominated in a foreign currency) and the Group’s net investments in 
foreign subsidiaries.

The Group’s main exposure is to the United States dollar and the Australian dollar. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency 
risk has increased during the year as a result of the acquisition of Attend Anywhere, which has a functional currency of 
Australian dollar. The Group has a bank account denominated in Australian dollars and the Group’s exposure to foreign 
exchange risk is limited by ensuring the Group has enough cash in this account to cover approximately six months of 
expenditure. The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk is as follows. This is based on the carrying amount for monetary 
financial instruments based on notional amounts. Sensitivity analysis has not been presented as the effects of reasonably 
possible strengthening or weakening of the foreign currencies below would not have a material impact on the Group’s 
financial information.

28.7 Credit risk management
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its 
contractual obligations and arises principally from the Group’s receivables from customers and investment securities. 
The Group’s principal financial assets are cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other financial assets, and other 
receivables, the carrying values of which represent the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk in relation to financial assets, 
as shown in this note. The Group’s credit risk is primarily attributable to its cash and cash equivalents. The credit risk arising 
from cash and cash equivalents is limited because the counterparties are banks with Triple-A credit-ratings assigned by 
international credit rating agencies.

28.  Financial instruments fair values and risk management (continued)

The credit risk arising from trade receivables and contract assets is assessed as limited, due to the nature of the 
counterparties, which consist of primarily NHS customers. Therefore, no provision for expected credit losses has been 
recognised on trade receivables or contract assets. Contract asset balances below relate only to accrued income, as 
contract costs are not subject to credit risk management as these costs are already incurred and capitalised.

28.8 Liquidity risk management
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s treasury 
policies are designed to ensure that sufficient cash is available to support current and future business requirements. Cash 
management is a core feature of the Group’s business model and rolling cash flow forecasts, updated on at least a monthly 
basis, are reviewed to manage these requirements. The following are the remaining contractual maturities of financial 
liabilities at the reporting date. The amounts are gross and undiscounted, and include contractual interest payments and 
exclude the impact of netting agreements.

Notes to the company financial 

statements

Notes to the company financial statements 

1.  Accounting policies

1.1  Going concern
The Company operates as an investment company for the Induction Healthcare Group plc, holding investments in 
subsidiaries financed by Group companies. As the Company is an intrinsic part of the Group’s structure, the Directors have a 
reasonable expectation that Group companies will continue to support the Company through trading and cash generated 
from trading until the end of the going concern forecast period at 30 April 2024. On this reason, the Directors have adopted 
the going concern assumption in preparing the financial statements. Please refer to Note 1.2 in the consolidated financial 
statements for Induction Healthcare Group plc for going concern considerations for the Group.

1.2  Share-based payments
Share-based payment transactions of the Company
Where the Company grants share-based awards over its own shares in exchange for employee services rendered to its 
subsidiaries, it recognises an increase to the cost of investment equivalent to the share-based payment expense recognised 
in the consolidated financial statements and a corresponding credit in other reserves in equity.

The Company does not recharge the obligation to settle equity-settled share option awards relating to employees 
employed by UK subsidiaries to the subsidiary. The Company recognises in its individual financial statements an allocated 
percentage of the share-based payment charge for employees performing some duties for the Company. Therefore, the 
cost of investment increases by the share-based payment expense recognised in the consolidated financial statements net 
of amounts relating to services supplied to the company. Refer to Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements for the 
accounting policy in respect of share-based payments.

1.3  Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities are recognised on the Company statement of financial position when the Company becomes 
a contractual party to the instrument. When financial instruments are recognised initially, they are measured at fair value, 
which is the transaction price plus, in the case of financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value through 
profit and loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

Management calculate the weighted-average loss rate in measuring the expected credit loss allowance for intra- group 
receivables. The credit risk exposure of intra-group receivables arises from the loan receivable from Induction Healthcare 
Limited, due to its investment in Induction Healthcare (UK) Limited and the fact that the CGU to which Induction Healthcare 
(UK) Limited is allocated is the Induction Switch CGU, which remains impaired. The expected credit loss (“ECL”) provision is 
calculated as a weighted average expected value of the range of outcomes with regards to default on repayment of the 
intra-group receivable. The range of outcomes is binary (ie. either default or no default) and a range of probabilities of 20% to 
80% is allocated to each scenario.

1.4   Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are held at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

2.  Reporting entity

Induction Healthcare Group Plc (the ‘Company’) is a public company incorporated, domiciled and registered in England in 
the United Kingdom. The Company’s registered office is at 20 St Dunstan’s Hill, London, EC3R 8HL. The Company’s principal 
activity is the provision of software to healthcare professionals.

3.  Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with UK-adopted international accounting standards (“UK-
adopted IFRS”).

Details of the Company’s accounting policies, including changes during the year, are included in note 1.

The Company has taken advantage of the exemption available under section 408 of the Companies Act 2006 and elected 
not to present its own Income statement or Statement of Comprehensive Income in these financial statements.

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.

These financial statements are presented in pound sterling, which is the Company’s functional currency. All amounts have 
been rounded to the nearest thousand pounds, unless otherwise indicated.

4. Judgements and estimates

In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the 
application of the Company accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual 
results may differ from these estimates.

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to estimates are recognised 
prospectively.

The only source of significant estimation uncertainty in the parent company financial statements is in respect of the 
recoverability of the cost of investments in Zesty (£12.0m) and Attend Anywhere  (£25.4m).  

Management have prepared value-in-use estimates for these investments.  The key assumptions in these estimates were 
the same as those identified in note 5 and 18.4 – being discount rate, payments received from customers, cash outflows 
(excluding those related to the enhancement of assets, and cash outflows related to the enhancement of assets.  Induction 
Zesty and Induction Attend Anywhere CGUs for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing, this is because these CGUs map 
one-to-one into the corresponding legal entities. 

Based on the sensitivity analysis performed by management, none of the key assumptions give rise to significant estimation 
uncertainty (or an impairment) on an individual basis, but do so in aggregate.   [Management has not presented the 
breakeven sensitivity analysis for these cost of investments as no reasonably possible movements in any of the key 
assumptions would result in the headroom being nil.] 

The following table illustrates the recoverable amount, carrying amount and headroom for each of the investments.

Investments in subsidiaries

The investments in subsidiaries represent the investments of Induction Healthcare plc in Attend Anywhere Pty Limited and 
A.C.N. 167 231 307 PTY Ltd, which were acquired during the year. It also represents investment in Induction Healthcare Limited, 
Horizon Strategic Partners Limited and Zesty Limited (acquired in prior year). All of the entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of 
the company. A full list of subsidiaries is included in Note 17 of the consolidated financial statements for the Group.

5. 

Investments in subsidiaries (continued)

On 9 June 2021, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 83.5% of the share capital of Attend Anywhere Pty Limited and 
100% of the share capital of A.C.N. 167 231 307 PTY Ltd (“A.C.N.”), which owns 16.5% of the share capital of Attend Anywhere, 
thereby obtaining 100% control over Attend Anywhere. Attend Anywhere Pty Limited owns 100% of the share capital of 
Attend Anywhere Limited, a UK subsidiary. Prior to the acquisition, a fundraise of £25m was held which led to the issue of 
35,714,285 New Ordinary Shares. The consideration included payments of £0.8m in cash for the purchase of net assets at the 
completion date, cash consideration of £15.6m, plus the issue of 14,285,714 New Ordinary Shares which had a fair value of 
£9m. This brings the total consideration to £25.4m prior to transaction costs.

During the year, the Company advanced £6.8m to Induction Healthcare Limited, in order to fund the continued operation of 
the Group, specifically the Induction Switch CGU and group-wide corporate costs. This has been accounted for as a capital 
contribution and therefore an increase in the investment in Induction Healthcare Limited. The Company has then impaired 
the investment in Induction Healthcare Limited by £6.8m, due to the fact that the Induction Switch CGU remains impaired 
and there is no expectation of repayment of these amounts by Induction Healthcare Limited in the near future. This has been 
included in the loss for the year for Induction Healthcare Group plc. The recoverable amount of the investment is the value-
in-use and is £Nil (2021: £Nil). The value-in-use was determined to be £Nil, as the Induction Switch CGU shows negative cash 
flows throughout the forecast period.

Management have performed an impairment assessment of investments in all other subsidiaries (other than Induction 
Healthcare Limited)  at 31 March 2022, including an assessment of the value-in-use, and no further investments were 
impaired. The recoverable amount of the cost of investments in Attend Anywhere and Zesty are sources of significant 
estimation uncertainty - see note 4.

Amounts receivable from group companies comprise loans due from group companies of £4.6m (2021: £4.6m). The loans are 
interest free and repayable on demand. Lifetime expected credit losses of £10.5m (2021: £10.5m) have been recognised on 
amounts due from group companies. These amounts have been classified as non-current, as there is no intention to demand 
repayment of these amounts within 12 months from 31 March 2022.

The carrying value of trade and other receivables classified as loans and receivables approximates fair value. The gross 
carrying value of amounts receivable from group companies, prior to the application of the expected credit loss provision 
(“ECL”) is £15.1m. This is wholly due from Induction Healthcare Limited.

Amounts receivable from Induction Healthcare Limited are considered to have a high credit risk. Default for amounts due 
from group companies is defined as a scenario where the entity will not be able to recover the amount owing through any 
means, such as repayments on the loan, distribution of dividends or the sale of the asset. It is the policy of the entity to not 
write-off amounts due from group companies.

Other financial liabilities relate to the contingent consideration paid on the acquisition of Horizon Strategic Partners Limited. 
At the end of the earn-out period on 30 September 2020, Horizon Strategic Partners Limited reached the maximum cash 
target, and therefore the maximum amount of £1.5m was paid out to the previous owners. This resulted in the increase in the 
fair value of the contingent consideration liability to £1.5m prior to settlement, and remeasurement charge of £0.09m was 
recognised in profit or loss. The previous owners of Horizon Strategic Partners Limited elected full settlement in cash.

During the year ended 31 March 2020, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired Podmedics Limited in a share-for-share 
exchange. £0.4m of the purchase consideration was accounted for as share premium. However, during the year ended 
31 March 2022 management have assessed that the conditions set out in section 612 of the Companies Act 2006 were met 
at the acquisition date, and therefore the difference between the fair value of the shares issued and the nominal value have 
been reclassified from share premium to the merger reserve.

Merger reserve
On 1 April 2019, Induction Healthcare Group plc and Induction Healthcare Limited executed a share for share exchange, 
whereby Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 100% of the share capital in Induction Healthcare Limited, in consideration 
for the issuance of shares in Induction Healthcare Group plc to the shareholders of Induction Healthcare Limited. This was 
done on the basis of one ordinary share in Induction Healthcare Group plc for each ordinary share in Induction Healthcare 
Limited.

Induction Healthcare Group plc issued 65,590 shares with a nominal value of £1 to the holders of equivalent shares in 
Induction Healthcare Limited. This has been treated as a common control transaction and the comparative historical 
financial statements have been presented as if the transaction had already taken place. At the point of acquisition, Induction 
Healthcare Limited had retained losses of £0.01m, and therefore a merger reserve has been recognised for this amount. The 
transaction has been accounted for at book value.

On 8 June 2020, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 100% of the share capital of Zesty Limited for a consideration 
comprising £0.5m in cash, plus the issue of 12,424,527 New Ordinary Shares. This acquisition was effected by way of a share-
for-share exchange, whereby the shareholders of Zesty Limited exchanged their shares for an equivalent number of shares 
in Induction Healthcare Group plc. The difference between the nominal amount of the shares and the fair value of the shares 
has been recognised in the merger reserve.

On 9 June 2021, Induction Healthcare Group plc acquired 83.5% of the share capital of Attend Anywhere Pty Limited and 
100% of the share capital of A.C.N. 167 231 307 PTY Ltd (“A.C.N.”), which owns 16.5% of the share capital of Attend Anywhere, 
thereby obtaining 100% control over Attend Anywhere. Attend Anywhere Pty Limited owns 100% of the share capital of 
Attend Anywhere Limited, a UK subsidiary. Prior to the acquisition, a fundraise of £25m was held which led to the issue of 
35,714,285 New Ordinary Shares. The consideration included payments of £0.8m in cash for the purchase of net assets at the 
completion date, cash consideration of £15.6m, plus the issue of 14,285,714 New Ordinary Shares which had a fair value of 
£9m. This brings the total consideration to £25.4m prior to transaction costs. This acquisition was effected by way of a share-
for-share exchange, whereby the shareholders of Attend Anywhere Pty Limited and A.C.N. 167 231 307 exchanged their shares 
for an equivalent number of shares in Induction Healthcare Group plc. The difference between the nominal amount of the 
shares and the fair value of the shares has been recognised in the merger reserve.

Where the conditions set out in section 612 of the Companies Act 2006 or equivalent sections of previous Companies Acts are 
met, shares issued as part of the consideration in a business combination are measured at their fair value in the Consolidated 
Statement of Financial Position, and the difference between the nominal value and fair value of the shares issued is 
recognised in the merger reserve.
