Paul Tambeau, CEO of Induction Healthcare, said: "We are pleased
to report an overall revenue growth rate of over 12% despite market
headwinds and at the same time as we completed on significantly
rightsizing our cost base. The business is now firmly on a
sustainable footing and this, together with our fast-growing
patient management platform (Zesty), which grew significantly,
indicates that we are well positioned for the coming year."
Note 1: Reported revenue from continuing operations is stated
after reclassifying assets held for sale under IFRS5 (Induction
Switch and Induction Guidance GBP0.7m). These product assets were
held for sale at year end 31 March 2023 and classified under
discontinued operations (Total recognised revenue from continuing
operations GBP12.9m plus discontinuing operations GBP0.7m was
GBP13.6m). Note 2: Reported revenue from customer contracts as at
31 March 2022 is stated after the application of IFRS3 being a fair
value adjustment (GBP4.2m) relating to the deferred revenue
acquired as part of the Attend Anywhere Pty Limited acquisition in
June 2021. Had this adjustment not been applied, pro-forma
recognised revenue from customer contracts for the year would have
been GBP12.1m compared with the reported figure of GBP7.9m. Note 3:
Operating Loss from continuing operations (GBP17.4m) before
depreciation GBP0.1m, amortisation GBP4.8m and non-cash impairment
GBP7.7m.

Highlights from Annual Report
Chair's Statement
The year ending March 2023 has been a particularly challenging
period for Induction. The Group has faced both market challenges,
as the NHS has struggled to come to terms with the new post-Covid
reality, and internal challenges precipitated by our own managerial
failings. As a Board we recognised and addressed both of these
strong headwinds, putting in place a series of measures which have
been both painful and absolutely necessary, but which have been
vindicated.
Having reached the middle of the first quarter of financial year
2024, it is apparent that the strong medicine we have administered
to the business is having a positive impact and, although it is too
early to be definitive, the future looks distinctly brighter.
Market opportunities are also opening up as Government policy
stabilises in the post-Johnson/Truss era.
The lack of healthcare policy consistency immediately
post-Covid, as well as the lack of clarity over central funding,
characterised most of the financial year. As waiting lists expanded
and the Department of Health struggled to line up behind clear,
funded policies to address the problem, the previously announced
commitments to invest in digital platforms were constantly delayed.
As a consequence, expectations of growth, particularly with NHS
commissioning groups for our appointment setting platform Zesty
were seriously delayed.
By early 2023 it was becoming clear that a more consistent and
properly funded digital approach to the challenge of cutting
waiting times was emanating from the Department of Health. It is
from this revised approach that Induction hopes to benefit from
over the coming year and the current indications are positive.
At the same time our expected growth in the Zesty platform has
been delayed by policy indecision, so also our video conferencing
platform (Attend Anywhere) has come under pricing and competitive
pressure from a combination of post-Covid changes in usage
patterns, and a more active challenge to our previously strong
market position.
Attend Anywhere is a video platform specifically designed for
clinicians and hospitals and their patients and has several unique
features which directly address these needs. However, these
features are costly to support and it is often tempting for
hospital trusts to opt for Microsoft Teams or similar which are
perceived as being 'free'. Despite these pressures, Attend Anywhere
has retained most of its share - retaining NHS Wales, NHS Scotland
and many of the English Trusts, demonstrating the benefits of a
health-specific application.
As reported at the time, last year's financial audit was
severely delayed and this, combined with other key indicators, led
the Board to conclude that significant changes were necessary to
the management and internal processes of the company.
In December 2022 we replaced the senior management with an
interim team - with the Chair stepping into the executive role,
Paul Tambeau moving to interim COO and John McIntosh interim CFO
position. The Board and the executive moved quickly to stem the
cash outflows and to create a sustainable business that would
ensure that we have no requirement to come to the market for more
cash.
Our previous CEO (James Balmain) moved to a commercial sales
position focused on Zesty. This move ideally suited his skills and
expertise and his ongoing activity in this role, as well as
providing the link between sales and product definition, is proving
invaluable.
The 'rightsizing' of Induction necessitated cutting both our
ambitions, our activities, and our headcount. We put on hold our
ambition to grow by acquisition and at the same time we
significantly reduced the breadth of our activities. We cut out
non-core activity (i.e. activity that doesn't relate exclusively to
secondary healthcare) and set about divesting our non-core assets
(the clinical apps comprising Switch and Guidance). At the same
time, we reduced our headcount and associated cost base by circa
30%. We also ruthlessly examined our hosting cost base and have
seen that cost fall by over 35%. The resulting rightsizing
programme has eliminated annualised expenditure of c. GBP6 million,
putting the Group on a sustainable footing for the future. All cash
costs relating to the Group's restructuring have been fully
recognised in the results to 31 March 2023.
The full year results outcome was an EBITDA loss on continuing
operations which narrowed to GBP4.8m (2022: GBP5.3m) with the
rightsizing process completing in March 2023. To this end the full
year results before tax for 31 March 2023 are a watershed,
reflecting the impact of certain material non-cash impairment
charges. Inclusive of a non-cash impairment charge of GBP7.7m
(2022: GBP nil), the Group's loss for the year reached GBP17.4m
(2022: Loss GBP8.4m).
These measures were painful on every level, however we now have
a sustainable business which is smaller, leaner and significantly
more focused. We also have a business which is better able to meet
the digital challenges, as well as the opportunities, that the
fast-changing NHS presents.
In response to the challenge we faced in the middle of last year
we have also sought to enhance our Board - both in terms of people
and our processes. To this end we appointed Ian Johnson as our
senior non-executive director. Ian has a wealth of experience in
the healthcare environment. Meanwhile we said farewell to
Leslie-Ann Reed who resigned at the end of her term in October
2023. More recently, and subsequent to the end of the financial
year (May 2023), we announced that Hugo Stephenson, a director and
founder, resigned at the end of his term. We thank both for their
service to Induction. Consistent with our commitment to hire a
permanent leadership team, Paul Tambeau (CEO) and John McIntosh
(CFO) were appointed to the board on 30 June 2023. At the same
time, with the outlook more positive, I stepped back to the
non-executive Chair position.
Whilst, as a Board, we know that these changes have been
fundamental to a sustainable future, we also know that they would
not have been made possible without the drive and support of our
leadership teams and all employees - across all the geographies we
operate in. As a result of their action and determination we can
look forward to significantly improved prospects for 2024 and we
genuinely thank them for their part in turning our business
around.
Finally, it remains for me to thank our long-suffering
shareholders. You have placed your confidence in the Board, the
leadership team and in me. I believe that in time we will justify
that confidence.

Non-executive Chair
CEO Statement
Double Digit Growth
FY23 saw a 12.1% increase in recognized revenue from all
operations and 9.7% increase in ARR. Whilst this partly relates to
the business being able to recognize a full year of Attend Anywhere
revenue, our main growth engine was Zesty, growing from GBP1.5m in
FY22 to GBP2.2m in FY23.
In addition to this growth within Zesty, there are a number of
Trusts which have purchased Zesty via our partners Oracle Cerner
and SystemC for deployment in FY24 but are yet to be recognised as
contracted ARR while we finalise flow-through contracting with our
partner. Induction also played a leadership role in partnering with
the NHS Wayfinder Programme in embedding core Zesty functionality
into the NHS App, including single sign-on. This will position
Induction well for growth into the future as the NHS seeks to move
more patient-facing activities into the NHS App.
With our Attend Anywhere business, we were pleased to renew our
national contract with NHS Scotland contract for 3 years, and our
NHS Wales national contract for another 1 year, with the option to
renew for an additional year. We retained a large proportion of our
NHS England contracts despite challenging market conditions.
Market Conditions Impacting Growth
Renewals in our Attend Anywhere business, especially within NHS
England, were under pressure as the national funding that supported
these contracts during COVID came to an end. This put downward
pressure on pricing as Trusts, many of which are already under
financial constraint, had to find the budget to fund the renewal.
We were successful at renewing 81% of these contracts. With the
NHS's national contract with Microsoft, we also saw Trusts looking
at Teams as an alternative solution. Whilst Teams doesn't have some
of the health-specific capability of Attend Anywhere, such as
robust waiting room functionality, we've had to work with Trusts in
recognizing the administrative burden this would put on them.
Finally, with the health care sector moving to more in-person
appointments following COVID, we have seen a decline in usage of
video consultations. Our Customer Success team has prioritized
getting closer to our customers to help drive utilization and to
help generate continuing value for patients and clinicians.
Notwithstanding the strong growth in our Zesty business, there
were delays in the NHS Wayfinder program as well as the provision
of national funding for Trusts to procure a portal. NHS procurement
cycles and processes also factored into our growth in FY23.
Business Rightsizing & Focus
In the last quarter of FY23, we executed a plan to right-size
the business and get our costs in check so that Induction was on a
more sustainable footing. This involved reducing the Group's
headcount (across a mix of employees and contractors) across our
global team. It also involved reducing our operating costs,
particularly web hosting and professional fees. The result of this
program was circa 30% being cut from the c.GBP1.5m monthly
operating costs incurred at the beginning of the final quarter of
the year.
In completing the restructuring, we also reshaped business
processes and provided a much-needed focus to all areas of the
Group's operation. The result is a better understanding of the
economics of our products and where and how it should be playing to
maximize margin. In March 2023, we gained approval of our FY24
Operating Plan and Budget which built on our approach of closely
managing costs, focusing on key priorities, and delivering value to
the customer.
In focusing the business on our core strategy, we had to look at
our product suite. With the development of a new integrated product
strategy, our focus going forward will be on supporting the
interactions between care teams and patients. That meant we have
decided to divest assets that don't align with this strategy,
notably Induction Switch and Induction Guidance. The Induction
Switch business was subsequently sold for a material undisclosed
sum post year end. We also decided to shut down our Booking
application since much of this functionality sits within Zesty, and
it wasn't generating sufficient revenue to justify significant
investments required to upgrade the technology.
Finally, in the short term, we are going to be focused on the UK
market. International growth is an important part of the Group's
future, but only once we have stabilized the UK business and
matured our business operations to take on new territories.
Looking Ahead with Renewed Focus
Within our FY24 Operating Plan, we're going to be focused on
executing on 4 Key Goals:
1. To be a profitable and sustainable growing business to
deliver our commitments to shareholders. This involves
strengthening our sales capabilities and capitalizing on near-term
growth opportunities. We are working to industrialise systems and
processes within the business to ensure we continue to closely
monitor our cost base.
2. To successfully develop our Integrated Product. We are
investing in bringing functionality from Zesty, Attend Anywhere and
FormBuilder together for customers in a way that enables us to be
responsive to customer needs. With these building blocks in place,
we will be looking at how we expand our capabilities to meet
growing customer needs.
3. To be customer centric and commercial in everything we do. We
will get closer to our customers to truly understand their
pressures and how we can support them. Our customers also have
valuable insight into how our integrated product should
develop.
4. To implement and continuously develop an inclusive,
performance driven and rewarding employee experience. We are
investing in the growth and development of our people as we seek to
build a culture where people want to grow their careers.
Outlook
As we execute on our plan, we believe there are market factors
that can generate new growth for the business. Underlying demand
for digital healthcare services is growing as the NHS seek to make
up for COVID-driven backlogs, while at the same time treating new
patients. This has resulted in potential new funding streams from
the NHS to tackle these challenges, presenting a strong opportunity
for the business going forward.
The NHS continues to prioritize further developments within the
NHS App, enabling Induction to become more embedded in the health
ecosystem. There is also new funding available to Trusts to procure
or enhance their patient portals, which Induction is well
positioned to capitalize on.
We're also seeing increasing demand for integrating the
capabilities of both our Zesty and Attend Anywhere platforms,
creating a better experience for clinicians and patients.
Given the rightsizing changes we have already implemented, and
the growth opportunities in front of us, we are confident this puts
the Group in a sustainable position.

Financial Review
Revenue
The twelve months to 31st March 2023 was the first period the
Group has benefited from a full year of recognised revenue from its
Induction Attend Anywhere acquisition.
Revenue from contracts with customers for the year to 31 March
2023 per table below was GBP13.6m (pro-forma 2022: GBP12.1m).
Excluding a non-cash accounting adjustment revenues from all
operations grew 12.1% in the year to 31 March 2023.
In our prior year reporting for the twelve months to 31st March
2022 we applied an adjustment to revenues to account for IFRS 3
requirements. Consequently, as a more appropriate year on year
comparison, recognised revenue for the year of reporting should be
compared with prior year pro-forma full year revenue. This period
end also saw our non-core products, Switch and Guidance being put
up for sale. These two product assets are classified as
discontinued operations on the face of the P&L under IFRS5 - as
assets held for sale)

1 Reported revenue from continuing operations is stated after
reclassifying assets held for sale under IFRS5 (Induction Switch
and Induction Guidance GBP0.6m). These product assets were held for
sale at year end 31 March 2023 and classified under discontinued
operations (Total recognised revenue from continuing operations
GBP12.9m, plus IFRS3 adjustment (GBP0.1m) and discontinued
operations GBP0.6m was GBP13.6m, 2022: GBP12.1m).
2 Reported revenue from customer contracts as at 31 March 2022
is stated after the application of IFRS3 being a fair value
adjustment (GBP4.2m) relating to the deferred revenue acquired as
part of the Attend Anywhere Pty Limited acquisition in June 2021.
Had this adjustment not been applied, pro-forma revenues from
contracts with customers would have been GBP12.1m.
3 Revenue from product assets (Induction Switch and Induction
Guidance) is disclosed under IFRS5 as assets held for sale.
4 After excluding discontinued operations revenue (GBP0.6m). For
reference only the comparative recognised 2022 revenue was
GBP0.7m.
The majority of the Group's revenue came from Induction Attend
Anywhere which has grown by 9.9% to GBP10.8m (2022: GBP9.8m), while
revenue from Induction Zesty has leapt to GBP2.2m (2022: GBP1.5m).
Induction's other clinical apps (Switch and Guidance) delivered
GBP0.6m (2022: GBP0.7m).
The headwinds which curtailed revenue growth in the second half
of the year predicated a rightsizing programme to bring the Group's
cost base into line with our sustainable revenue growth. The
restructuring was completed by year end and all associated costs
have been provided for in the year to 31st March 2023.
While focus is on sustainable recognised revenue growth
management also takes note of ARR. 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.
ARR from all operations as at 1st April 2023 was GBP13.5m (2022:
GBP12.3m). This represented the annualised value of the recurring
revenue base that expected to be carried into future periods, and
its growth is a forward-looking indication of recurring revenue
growth.
Gross profit
Reported Gross profit was GBP8.1 million (2022: GBP5.0 million)
with gross margin steady at 63.1% versus prior year reported margin
from all operations (2022: 63.1%). Direct costs are predominantly
made up of web hosting expenses, sales and delivery staff costs.
The year-on-year increase in gross profit is not directly
attributable to revenue growth due to the prior year FY22 accounts
reporting revenue from customer contracts after IFRS 3 fair value
adjustment. Had the prior year IFRS 3 adjustment not been applied
prior year Group revenues would have been GBP12.1m on a pro-forma
basis. Given the consistent year-on-year gross margin percentage,
growth of gross profit is more comparable to recognised revenue
growth from customer contracts of 12.1% as described in the Revenue
section above.
Capitalised development costs
Development expenses for the year were GBP9.3m (2022: GBP6.0m)
an increase of GBP3.3m. The reported cost increase for the year to
31 March 2023 is made up of two components: a lower level of
capitalised development cost of GBP2.2m and, an increase of
development expenses of GBP1.1m.
Prior year additions to internally generated intangible assets
were GBP3.1m reflecting the amount capitalised in the year to 31
March 2022. The comparable figure for the period to 31 March 2023
is GBP0.8m. This capitalised development expense movement has been
charged directly to the income statement rather than being
capitalised in the year.
In determining the amounts to be capitalised management makes
assumptions regarding the percentage of staff time spent on
development activities. There is a high level of estimation
uncertainty over the estimates, as the ability to reliably track
time is inhibited by the time recording method. The nature of the
features developed during the year do not meet the criteria for
capitalisation under IAS38. This conclusion resulted in costs,
which would otherwise have been taken to the balance sheet, being
charged directly to the operating costs of the business. As a
result of this decision the reported development expenses more
closely represent the development cash outflows experienced by the
business in the year of reporting.
Impairment charge
Management performed an impairment review as at 31 March 2023 in
accordance with IAS 36 'Impairment of assets'. The resulting
non-cash impairment charge of GBP7.7m is explained in further
detail in note 17 - Goodwill within the financial statements.
Operating expenses
Excluding the adjusting items depreciation, amortisation and
share based payments, operating expenses grew by GBP2.4m driven by
increased development expenses and restructuring costs.
Core performance measures
Our rightsizing programme resulted in restructuring costs of
GBP0.8m being charged to the income statement. By the 31st March
2023 the cost containment action had resulted in monthly cost
reductions of the order of GBP0.5m - the equivalent of an
annualised GBP6.0m reduction in cash outflow.
The Group's Operating Plan is focused on sustainable growth.
Management considers that EBITDA is the key operating metric to
measure the Group's performance and progress towards sustainable
growth. In addition, the Group also measures and presents
performance in relation to various other non-GAAP measures, such as
gross margin, and revenue growth. ARR is considered useful to
determine long term revenue growth, viewed in the context of
sustainable growth.
Adjusted EBITDA results are prepared to provide a more
comparable indication of the Group's core business performance by
removing the impact of certain items including exceptional items
(material and non-operating related costs), and other, non-trading,
items that are reported separately. Adjusted results exclude items
as set out in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income.
Adjusted EBITDA loss was GBP3.6m (Re-presented 2022:
GBP3.8m).

Cash
Cash as at 31 March 2023 was GBP4.3m (2022: GBP7.5m). As
described above, the Leadership Team focused on cost containment
and cash conservation during the last quarter of the year.
Processes around cash have been revisited to ensure projected
business needs are sustainable.
We continue to tightly manage our cost base which, as at 31
March 2023, was reduced by over 30% on a monthly basis from the
level at the beginning of 2023.
Going concern
The Group incurred an operating loss on continuing operations of
GBP4.8m for the year ended 31 March 2023 (2022 GBP5.3m), however,
it had net assets of GBP24.3m inclusive of GBP4.3m of cash and cash
equivalents.
Management has performed a going concern analysis as described
in the Directors report. The liquidity of the group is judged
sufficient to meet the cash needs of the Group as they fall
due.
The directors have considered the applicability of the going
concern basis in the preparation of the financial statements. This
included a review of financial results, internal budgets and cash
flow forecasts to 31 October 2024, including downside
scenarios.
Assets and Liabilities
Goodwill as at 31 March 2023 of GBP10.7m (2022: GBP19.8m) and
intangibles of GBP15.3m (2022: GBP21.0m) are derived from the
earlier acquisitions, Attend Anywhere Pty Limited, Zesty Limited
and Horizon Strategic Partners Limited. Following a review of the
carrying value of the assets a non-cash impairment charge of
GBP7.4m has been applied. Refer to note 17 of the financial
statements.
Trade Receivables were GBP2.7m (2022: GBP3.3m) reflecting
increased collection activity at the period end. Trade payables
were GBP2.7m (2022: GBP3.4m) in part reflecting the impact of the
right sizing programme reduced monthly costs.
Taxation
Current tax receivable GBP1.1m (2022: GBP1.2m) consists of
Research and Development tax credits due to the Group for current
and prior years. Post year end the Group received GBP0.3m of tax
R&D reclaim. In spite of the delay to the repayments we expect
further receipts in due course after appropriate follow-up.
Loss before tax
The Group net loss before tax was GBP17.4m (2022: loss of GBP9.1
million (re-presented)) the year-on-year change is driven by a
non-cash impairment charge of GBP7.7m.
Discontinued operations
During the year ending 31 March 2023 the Group classified the
Induction Switch and Induction Guidance products as being held for
sale, as a result of a decision to focus on patient facing products
in the secondary care market. This resulted in removal of
discontinued operations losses of GBP0.8m (for reference: 2022
GBP0.4m) from the Group profit and loss. Refer to note 13 of the
financial statements for further details.
Principal risks and uncertainties.
As more fully described in the Directors' Report and notes to
the financial statements included in the annual report, the amounts
and timing of future revenues remain uncertain. However, the
executive has taken significant steps, which we believe mitigate
the Group's risks.

Notes (forming part of the abridged financial statements)
1 Basis of preparation
The preliminary results for the year ended 31 March 2023 are an
abridged statement of the full Annual Report which was approved by
the Board of Directors on 28(th) July 2023. The consolidated
financial statements in the full Annual Report are prepared in
accordance with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting
Standards (' UK-Adopted IFRS'), with IFRS as issued by the
International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') and with the
requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The auditor's report on
those consolidated financial statements was unqualified, and did
not contain statements under section 498(2) or 498(3) of the
Companies Act 2006. The preliminary results do not comprise
statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434(3) of the
Companies Act 2006. The Annual Report for the year ended 31 March
2023 will be delivered to the Registrar of Companies following the
Company's Annual General Meeting. The financial information
included in this preliminary announcement does not itself contain
sufficient information to comply with IFRS. The annual report and
audited financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023 will
be made available on the Company's website.
2 Going concern
The Group has recognised total revenues during the year of
GBP13.6m (2022: GBP7.9m) and had cash balances at 31 March 2023 of
GBP4.3m (2022: GBP7.5m) with cash outflows from operating
activities during the year of GBP2.8m (2022: GBP2.1m).
During the year ended 31 March 2023, the Group successfully
completed a rightsizing programme, estimated to deliver c. 30%
reduction in costs.
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 June 2025
("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 June 2025 to take into account the operating
cycle of the group, which sees significant contract renewals in
March 2025, with cash inflows received in April and May 2025.
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 April 2024 before increasing again in May 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 June 2025, and therefore these financial
statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
3 Revenue
During the year ended 31 March 2023, the Group classified the
Induction Switch and Induction Guidance products as disposal groups
held for sale (refer Note 13). Consequently, revenues from
contracts with customers arising from these products have been
presented as part of results from discontinued operations. Revenues
as presented in this note include only revenues from continuing
operations, and comparative amounts for the year ended 31 March
2022 have been re-presented to exclude the impact of discontinued
operations.
The following is an analysis of the Group's revenue for the year
