TECHNIKOS LLP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
Technikos LLP is a limited liability partnership incorporated in the United Kingdom.
The LLP's registered address is 4th Floor, 50 Mark Lane, London, EC3R 7QR.
The principal activity of the LLP is set out in the Members' Report.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006 and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice "Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships".
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the LLP's accounting policies (see note 3).
The designated members have prepared financial forecasts that indicate that the LLP will be able to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for a period of at least twelve months from the date of signing these accounts. Accordingly the designated members continue to adopt the going concern basis.
Fixed asset investments are included in the balance sheet at fair value. Fair value is determined in accordance with the "International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuation Guidelines" issued by the British Venture Capital Association.
The non-basic loan investment's fair value is established based on historic data as to the value of equity investments generated as a result of the loan instrument, which represent the only return due on the loan balance.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
Other financial instruments
|
The LLP does not trade in financial instruments and all such instruments arise directly from operations.
All trade and other debtors are initially recognised at transaction value, as none contain in substance a financing transaction. Thereafter trade and other debtors are reviewed for impairment where there is objective evidence based on observable data that the balance may be impaired. The LLP does not hold collateral against its trade and other receivables so its exposure to credit risk is the net balance of trade and other debtors after allowance for impairment.
The LLP’s cash holdings comprise on demand balances. All cash is held with banks with strong external credit ratings.
Trade and other creditors and accruals are initially recognised at transaction value as none represent a financing transaction. They are only derecognised when they are extinguished. As the LLP only has short term receivables and payables, its net current asset position is a reasonable measure of its liquidity at any given time.
|
Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. Management consider the following are key accounting estimates or assumptions made that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year:
Valuation of Investments
Fixed asset investments are included in the balance sheet at a value determined in accordance with the "International Private Equity and Venture Capital Valuations Guidelines" developed by the British Venture Capital Association as permitted under the alternative accounting rules of the Companies Act 2006.
The LLP's loan instrument is settled through the issue of co-participation shares on the spin out of new companies which seek to commercialise research findings from the facilities which the loan was provided to build. The loan has a fixed term, which may be extended by mutual agreement. However, on expiration the loan balance will be written off. The loan is therefore carried at a fair value based on the value of equity spin outs to date and the remaining expected life of the loan, which does not assume any extension. Such spin outs are not guaranteed, and their value may differ materially from the estimate fair value based on historic data.
Equity investments are initially valued on acquisition at the cost of the investment. The investment cost is considered to provide the best indication of fair value for an initial period after the investment has been made. Subsequently, investments are valued at their fair value using methodologies set out in the guidelines, which may include: earnings multiple; the price at which third party capital has recently been raised; or other relevant factors.
Management are also required to exercise judgement in applying the entity's accounting policies. Due to the straightforward nature of the business management consider that no critical judgments have been made in applying the entity's accounting policies.
|
The entity has no employees (2020: nil).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2021
|
Post balance sheet events
|
The following events have taken place since the year end:
∙The share price of Sensyne Health plc has fallen significantly. This has reduced the value of the LLP’s beneficial entitlement (as covered in note 8) to nil as at the date of signing these financial statements.
∙Included in unlisted equity investments is an investment in Prenetics Group Limited which was valued at £2.92m on 31 October 2021. In May 2022, this entity was merged into a Special Purpose Acquisition Company which was admitted to Nasdaq and renamed Prenetics Global Ltd. Since listing on Nasdaq, the share price has fallen sharply which means the value of the LLP’s investment at the date of signing these financial statements is approximately £1.7m.
No changes have been made to the figures reported in these financial statements for the events discussed above as they are considered non-adjusting post balance sheet events.
The auditors' report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2021 was unqualified and did not contain an emphasis of matter.
The audit report was signed on 26 August 2022 by Simon Lewis (senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Blick Rothenberg Audit LLP.
