Strategic Report for the period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022
The directors present their strategic report for the period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022.
Principal activity
VU X EARTH is the parent company of the group which consists of two sites, Village Underground, a music and arts venue in Shoreditch, and EartH, a music and arts venue in Dalston. Both venues also host and produce corporate and private events, as well as ancillary activities. EartH runs education and training programmes for local young people.
Fair review of the business
The group's business emerged positively from COVID 19 lockdown and associated restrictions, with a successful first quarter. The business benefited from pent up demand in our core demographics, bolstered by the success of the soundproofing project at EartH, which for the first time allowed the venue to run multiple events simultaneously.
In December 21, the Omicron variant created adverse trading conditions, with a similar effect to lockdown, in that the majority of our events were cancelled in the second quarter. However, the business submitted a successful grant application to the Cultural Recovery Fund (COVID related funding for the arts, administered by the Arts Council) and finished the quarter ahead of budget as a result.
The damage to our sector wrought by Omicron was felt throughout the year, primarily through the loss of international artist tours, who felt that the risk of cancellation was too high to continue. February 2022 saw the invasion of Ukraine, followed shortly by rising energy prices and deteriorating economic commentary, which ushered in rising inflation and the cost of living crisis. As a result, our customers reduced their discretionary spending and we experienced a drop in ticket sales, leading to cancelled events.
Our Social Impact targets are on track for the year and our main partner/shareholder Big Issue Invest continues to be supportive, as do Triodos Bank and Arts Impact Fund.
Financial KPIs
The company's key financial performance indicators during the period were the Turnover of £2.7m; Gross Profit of £1.3m; and Gross Margin of 47%.
VU X EartH Limited
Strategic Report for the period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022
Principal risks and uncertainties
The company’s and group’s principal financial instruments comprise bank loans, lease hire facilities, trade debtors and trade creditors. The main purpose of the instruments is to support the cashflow requirements of the group as it invests to grow the business. The group’s approach to managing risks applicable to the financial instruments is shown below.
In respect of bank loans, the risk arising from interest rate changes is managed through financial forecasting and measuring future debt-service coverage ratios.
In respect of bank balances, the liquidity risk is managed by careful budgeting and maintaining good relationships with suppliers to ensure no shortfall arises on liabilities due for payment.
Trade debtors are managed in respect of credit and cashflow risk by ensuring that amounts outstanding are regularly monitored.
The cost of living crisis is a principal risk. The business manages this by monitoring and working to improve our core KPIs: Turnover, Gross Profit and Gross Margin. The directors are pleased with the Turnover of £2.7m in the period; Gross Profit of £1.3m; Gross Margin of 47%. Both Turnover and Gross Profit increased by more than 100% vs the combined performance of Village Underground and EartH in the prior year, bolstered by the industry’s recovery from the COVID pandemic; the Gross Margin is consistent with prior years.
Future developments
The directors are pleased with the performance of the business as it reopened post COVID with a strong quarter. Further the directors are pleased with the successful capex projects, most notably the soundproofing, new bars and terrace, which have opened up new avenues to growth. The directors are monitoring closely the level of cancelled events, bar spends and event GPs, resulting from the cost of living crisis and macro-economic situation, which has similarly hit the Hospitality Sector across the board.
The directors look forward to growing the business over the coming year, developing more detailed controls and procedures, investing time and focus into programming events as we emerge from the post COVID market back to greater stability. Of particular importance in the current climate are cost control procedures. Every ticketed event has a number of detailed cost models relating to varying levels of possible attendance and SPH, which forms the basis of a forecast P&L. Each event is forecast against these variables, with a projected P&L, actual P&L and variances. Variances are measured on an ongoing basis to track trends and ensure budget levels are maintained or improved.
Subsequent events
Subsequent to 30 September 2022, the company allotted and issued further A Ordinary shares for an aggregate consideration of £500,000 to provide additional working capital.

Directors' Report for the Period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022
The directors present their report and the for the period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022.
Directors of the group
The directors who held office during the period were as follows:
Dividends
No interim dividends have been paid (2021: £Nil). No final dividend is proposed.
Information included in the Strategic Report
The company has chosen in accordance with s.414C(11) Companies Act 2006 to set out in the company's strategic report information required by Schedule 7 of the Large and Medium-sized Companies and Groups (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 to be contained in the directors' report. It has done so in respect of future developments and financial risk management and exposure.
Directors' liabilities
As permitted by the Articles of Association, the directors have the benefit of an indemnity which is a qualifying third party indemnity provision as defined by Section 234 of the Companies Act 2006. The indemnity was in force throughout the last financial year and is currently in force.
Disclosure of information to the auditor
Each director has taken steps that they ought to have taken as a director in order to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the company's auditor is aware of that information. The directors confirm that there is no relevant information that they know of and of which they know the auditor is unaware.

Statement of Directors' Responsibilities
The directors acknowledge their responsibilities for preparing the Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). 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 the company and of the profit or loss of the group for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to:
• |
select suitable accounting policies and apply them consistently; |
• |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
• |
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and |
• |
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the company will continue in business. |
The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company's transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006 and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
VU X EartH Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
VU X EartH Limited
Qualified opinion
We have audited the financial statements of VU X EartH Limited (the 'parent company') and its subsidiaries (the 'group') for the period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022, which comprise the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, and Notes to the Financial Statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, the financial statements:
• | give a true and fair view of the state of the group's and the company's affairs as at 30 September 2022 and of the group's loss for the period then ended; |
• | have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and |
• | have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. |
Basis for qualified opinion
We were not appointed as auditor of the group until after 30 September 2022 and thus did not observe the counting of physical inventories at the end of the period. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 30 September 2022, which are included in the consolidated statement of financial position at £79,096, by using other audit procedures.
Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary. In addition, were any adjustment to the inventory balance to be required, the strategic report would also need to be amended.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.
Emphasis of matter
We draw attention to Note 2 to the financial statements which describes the key sources of estimation uncertainty, and in particular, the key assumptions used by the directors in determining the carrying values of investments in the company's statement of financial position and goodwill in the group's consolidated statement of financial position. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
Key audit matters
Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section, we have determined that there are no key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
VU X EartH Limited
Other information
The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.
As described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, we were unable to satisfy ourselves concerning the inventory quantities of £79,096 held at 30 September 2022. We have concluded that where the other information refers to the inventory balance or related balances such as cost of sales, it may be materially misstated for the same reason.
Conclusions relating to going concern
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the original financial statements were authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
Opinion on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
Except for the possible effects of the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit:
• |
the information given in the Strategic Report and Directors' Report for the financial period for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
• |
the Strategic Report and Directors' Report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
Except for the matter described in the basis for qualified opinion section of our report, in the light of our knowledge and understanding of the group and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report and the Directors' Report.
Arising solely from the limitations on the scope of our work relating to inventory referred to above:
• |
we have not obtained all the information and explanations that we considered necessary for the purpose of our audit; and |
• |
we were unable to determine whether adequate accounting records have been kept. |
VU X EartH Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
VU X EartH Limited
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters where the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
• | returns adequate for our audit have not been received from branches not visited by us; or |
• | the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or |
• | certain disclosures of directors' remuneration specified by law are not made. |
Responsibilities of directors
As explained more fully in the Statement of Directors' Responsibilities [set out on page 5], the directors are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the directors are responsible for assessing the 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 the directors either intend to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor Responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
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 an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a 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 the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below:
Based on our understanding of the group and the industry in which it operates, we determined that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to the reporting framework (FRS 102 and the Companies Act 2006) and UK corporate taxation laws, health and safety legislation, and data protection legislation. These risks were communicated to our audit team and we remained alert to any indications of non-compliance throughout our audit.
We understood how the group is complying with relevant legislation by making enquiries of management. We also considered the results of our audit procedures and to what extent these corroborate this understanding and assessed the susceptibility of the group’s financial statements to material misstatement. This included consideration of how fraud might occur and evaluation of management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements.
We designed our audit procedures to identify any non-compliance with laws and regulations. Such procedures included, but were not limited to, inspection and understanding of legal costs; challenging assumptions and judgements made by management; identifying and testing journal entries with a focus on large or unusual transactions as determined based on our understanding of the business; and identifying and assessing the effectiveness of controls in place to prevent and detect fraud.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there remains a risk that a material misstatement may not have been detected, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance with laws and regulations and cannot be expected to detect all instances of non-compliance.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK), we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
VU X EartH Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Members of
VU X EartH Limited
• |
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. |
• |
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the group’s internal control. |
• |
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors. |
• |
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the group’s or the parent company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the group or the parent company to cease to continue as a going concern. |
• |
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. |
• |
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. |
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council's website at www.frc.org.uk/auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor's report.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
Use of our report
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 to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022
General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated in England and Wales.
The address of its registered office is:
VU X EARTH is the parent company of the group which consists of two sites, Village Underground, a music and arts venue in Shoreditch, and EartH, a music and arts venue in Dalston. Both venues also host and produce corporate and private events, as well as ancillary activities. EartH runs education and training programmes for local young people.
Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland'.
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except any items disclosed in the accounting policies as being shown at fair value and are presented in sterling, which is the functional currency of the entity.
Going concern
The group made a loss for the period ended 30 September 2022 of £2,749,872 although the group had net assets at that date amounting to £7,027,411.
The directors are confident that attendances at events will continue to improve following the lifting of all COVID-19 restrictions. The directors have exercised control over overheads where possible and taken advantage of the various COVID support schemes where available. The directors have produced cash flow budgets and profitability forecasts for both expected as well as sensitised cases and are confident that the group has sufficient resources to continue its operations for the foreseeable future.
The group's working capital requirements are currently met via a combination of cash reserves, trade creditors, bank facilities, and finance leases. Subsequent to the period end, the group has renegotiated payment terms for key loan agreements and increased the repayment periods. The directors have no reason to believe that any of these facilities will be discontinued. As a consequence, the directors believe that the group is well placed to continue to manage its business risks successfully.
Based on the above and after making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.
VU X EartH Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022
Summary of disclosure exemptions
The parent company satisfies the criteria of being a qualifying entity as defined in FRS 102. As such, advantage has been taken of the following reduced disclosures available under FRS 102 paragraph 1.12:
(a) No cash flow statement for the company has been presented.
(b) Disclosures in respect of company financial instruments have not been presented.
(c) Disclosures in respect of company key management personnel compensation have not been presented.
The company has taken advantage of the exemption in section 408 of the Companies Act from presenting its individual profit and loss account.
Disclosure of long or short period
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements consolidate the financial statements of the company and its subsidiary undertakings drawn up to 30 September each year.
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the company. Control is achieved where the company has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities.
The results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Income Statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal, as appropriate. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the group.
The purchase method of accounting is used to account for business combinations that result in the acquisition of subsidiaries by the group. The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilities incurred or assumed at the date of exchange, plus costs directly attributable to the business combination. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any excess of the cost of the business combination over the acquirer’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognised is recorded as goodwill.
Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between the company and its subsidiaries, which are related parties, are eliminated in full.
Intra-group losses are also eliminated but may indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the group. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified separately from the group’s equity therein. Non-controlling interests consist of the amount of those interests at the date of the original business combination and the non-controlling shareholder’s share of changes in equity since the date of the combination.
Village Underground Holdings Limited, Village Underground Limited, HAC Group Limited, HAC Catering Limited, HAC Theatre Limited, and HAC Venue Limited have been included in the group profit and loss account and statement of cash flows for the period from their acquisitions on 3 December 2021. In each case, the respective purchase consideration has been allocated to the respective assets and liabilities on the basis of fair value at the date of acquisition.

Judgements
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. These estimates and judgements are continually reviewed and are based on experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
|
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Accounting estimates and assumptions are made concerning the future and, by their nature, will rarely equal the related actual outcome. The key assumptions and other sources of estimation uncertainty that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are as follows:
- Useful economic lives and impairment of goodwill:
Goodwill is amortised over its estimated economic life. The group exercises judgement to determine these useful lives. At each reporting date, the directors are required to assess whether there is any indication that goodwill may be impaired. If there is an indication that the value may be impaired, the group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset and the carrying value is impaired as appropriate.
The directors have performed an annual impairment review of goodwill values at 30 September 2022 by comparing the discounted estimated future cash flows of the cash-generating units with their carrying values including goodwill. The impairment review is dependent on a number of key assumptions which have a significant impact on the outcome, including:
(a) the cashflow forecasts utilised. These were extracted from the group's board-approved five-year budgets and inherently include a number of judgements and estimates, particularly in relation to predictions of the group's future event calendar, attendance of events, and average spend per head at these events.
(b) the discount rate which has been estimated based upon the weighted average cost of capital for comparable investments.
- Useful economic lives of tangible assets:
Tangible fixed assets are depreciated to their estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives. The group exercises judgement to determine these useful lives and residual values.
- Impairment of carrying values of investments:
Investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. At each reporting date, the directors are required to assess whether there is any indication that investments may be impaired. If there is an indication that the value may be impaired, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the asset and the carrying value is impaired as appropriate.
The directors have performed an annual impairment review of investment values at 30 September 2022 as described above under goodwill, with the same key assumptions.
- Impairment of amounts owed by group undertakings:
The company makes an estimate of the recoverable value of amounts owed by group undertakings. Included within debtors are loans advanced to group companies to provide working capital. The directors consider the recoverability of these loans to be dependent on the long term success of the group and the associated profitability of these undertakings. These undertakings have prepared management accounts, forecasts, and other supporting information detailing the key performance indicators that are required in order for the companies to be profitable in the foreseeable future. The directors have reviewed the industry trends and sources of external funding for the subsidiary undertakings, and have assessed the appropriateness of this information to consider the future profitability of these companies and therefore recoverability of these amounts.

- Non-redeemable shares with the right to non-discretionary dividends:
The company has issued non-redeemable shares with the right to non-discretionary dividends in perpetuity which have both equity and liability elements. The liability element is calculated as the present value of the future contractual cash flows, discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar liability that does not have the associated equity component. The directors exercise judgement to determine this market rate of interest.
Revenue recognition
Turnover comprises income receivable, excluding value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts where appropriate, from venue hire and the associated provision of food and drink services.
Revenue from ticket sales is recognised on the day of the event. Revenue from productions and venue hire are spread over the period of the event and revenue from catering services is recognised on the date of the transaction.
Government grants
Government grants are recognised when it is reasonable to expect that the grants will be received and that all related conditions will be met, usually on submission of a valid claim for payment.
Grants of a revenue nature are credited to income so as to match them with the expenditure to which they relate.
Tax
The tax expense for the period comprises current tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a charge attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive income.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the group operates and generates taxable income.
Goodwill
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of an entity represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the group’s interest in the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the entity recognised at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is initially recognised as an asset at cost and is subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is held in the currency of the acquired entity and revalued to the closing rate at each reporting period date. Goodwill is amortised over its useful life, which shall not exceed ten years if a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of intangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Amortisation
Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:

Tangible assets
Tangible assets are stated in the statement of financial position at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.
The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Leasehold improvements |
Over the remaining life of the lease |
Plant and machinery |
15% Straight Line |
Investments
Fixed asset investments are initially recorded at cost, and subsequently stated at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.
Impairment of fixed assets
A review for indicators of impairment is carried out at each reporting date, with the recoverable amount being estimated where such indicators exist. Where the carrying value exceeds the recoverable amount, the asset is impaired accordingly. Prior impairments are also reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
For the purposes of impairment testing, when it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, as estimate is made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. The cash-generating unit is the smallest identifiable group of assets that includes the asset and generates cash inflows that largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets.
For impairment testing of goodwill, the goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the company are assigned to those units.
Business combinations
Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquired, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
VU X EartH Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022
Stocks
Stocks are measured at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost includes all costs of purchase and other costs incurred in bringing the stock to its present location and condition.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the income statement over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease. Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at the lower of their fair value at inception of the lease and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the useful life of the asset and the lease term. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the Statement of Financial Position as a finance lease obligation.
Lease payments are apportioned between finance costs in the Income Statement and reduction of the lease obligation so as to achieve a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.
Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the group has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.
VU X EartH Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements for the Period from 1 December 2021 to 30 September 2022
Financial instruments
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the entity after deducting all of its financial liabilities.
Where the contractual obligations of financial instruments (including share capital) are equivalent to a similar debt instrument, those financial instruments are classed as financial liabilities. Financial liabilities are presented as such in the statement of financial position. Finance costs and gains or losses relating to financial liabilities are included in the income statement. Finance costs are calculated so as to produce a constant rate of return on the outstanding liability.
Where the contractual terms of share capital do not have any terms meeting the definition of a financial liability then this is classed as an equity instrument. Dividends and distributions relating to equity instruments are debited direct to equity.
