- Audit opinion
- Unqualified (clean)
- Going concern
- Affirmed
“The directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the group have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future, thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual financial statements. Furthermore the Company has a letter of support from its Ultimate Parent Company, Cisco Systems Inc., stating if and when required, funding will be made available so the Company can fulfil its obligations. The Company has assessed whether it can rely upon the letter of support and has no concerns in that regard.”

Significant events
- “In the period ended 27 July 2024 the Company has not recorded any provision for dilapidation charges (2023: £5,720,181) and an impairment charge for right of use assets recorded during the year was lower than the prior year at £654,375 (2023: £2,272,992). These reductions in expenses were the main reasons for the decrease in revenue.”
- “In the period ended 29 July 2023 the Company received a liquidation dividend from its former subsidiary Scansafe Limited of $4,104,672, no such income was received in the period ended 27 July 2024 and so operating income fell to £1,236,490 (2023: £6,418,040).”
- “The company has reviewed the risks arising from current economic uncertainties of higher inflation and interest rates together with the security uncertainties from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, while these do pose an overall risk to the Cisco group as a whole the impact to the company is not deemed to be significant.”

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
