Directors' Report
For the 14-month period ended 31 December 2023
The directors present their report and the financial statements for the 14-month period ended 31 December 2023.
Directors' responsibilities statement
|
The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements, in accordance with applicable law.
Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law they have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the UK.
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 Company and of the profit or loss of the Company for that period. In preparing the financial statements, the directors are required to:
∙select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;
∙make judgments and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;
∙state whether they have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as adopted by the UK, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements;
∙assess the 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 Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
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. 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 Company and to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities.
The Company's principal activity is providing operational and administrative services to related entities, in the field of reinsurance and risk capital solutions.
The profit for the 14-month period, after taxation, amounted to £92,984.
The directors have not recommended a dividend.
The directors who served during the 14-month period were:

Small companies' exemption note
|
In preparing this report, the directors have taken advantage of the small companies exemptions provided by section 415A of the Companies Act 2006.
Disclosure of information to auditor
|
Each of the persons who are directors at the time when this Directors' Report is approved has confirmed that:
∙so far as the director is aware, there is no relevant audit information of which the Company's auditor is unaware, and
∙the director has taken all the steps that ought to have been taken as a director in order to be aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the Company's auditor is aware of that information.
The auditor, Grant Thornton (NI) LLP, will be proposed for reappointment in accordance with section 485 of the Companies Act 2006.
This report was approved by the board on 8 August 2024 and signed on its behalf.

Independent Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of Augment Risk Services UK Limited
We have audited the financial statements of Augment Risk Services UK Limited (the “Company”) which comprise the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023 and the statement of profit or loss and statement of changes in equity for the period from 11 November 2022 to 31 December 2023, and the related notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
The financial reporting framework that has been applied in the preparation of the financial statements is applicable law and UK-adopted international accounting standards (UK-adopted IAS).
In our opinion, Augment Risk Services UK Limited’s financial statements:
∙give a true and fair view in accordance with UK-adopted IAS of the assets, liabilities and financial position of the Company as at 31 December 2023 and of its financial performance for the period from 11 November 2022 to 31 December 2023; and
∙have been properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.
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 ‘Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements’ section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the United Kingdom, namely the FRC’s Ethical Standard and the ethical pronouncements established by Chartered Accountants Ireland, applied as determined to be appropriate in the circumstances of the entity. 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 opinion.
Conclusions relating to going concern
|
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are 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.

Augment Risk Services UK Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of Augment Risk Services UK Limited (continued)
Other information comprises information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, including the the Directors' Report. The directors are responsible for the other information. 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 in the financial statements, 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.
We have nothing to report in this regard.
Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006
|
In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit
∙the information given in the Directors' Report for the 31 December 2023 for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
∙the Directors' Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Matters on which we are required to report by exception
|
In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the Company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified any material misstatements in the Directors' Report.
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:
∙adequate accounting records have not been kept, or 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; or
∙we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit; or
∙the directors are not entitled to take advantage of the small companies’ exemptions from the requirement to prepare a Strategic Report or in preparing the Directors' Report.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements
|
As explained more fully in the directors' responsibilities statement, management is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standards, and for such internal control as directors determine necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Page 4

Augment Risk Services UK Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of Augment Risk Services UK Limited (continued)
In preparing the financial statements, management is 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 management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing Company’s financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of the auditor for the audit of the financial statements
|
The objectives of an auditor 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 their 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.
A further description of an auditor's 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.
Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud
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. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.
Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to compliance with Data Privacy law, Employment Law, Environmental Regulations, Pensions Legislation, Health & Safety and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the local law and tax/ Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. The Audit engagement partner considered the experience and expertise of the engagement team to ensure that the team had the appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with the laws and regulation. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial performance and management bias through
judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to significant one-off or unusual transactions. We apply professional scepticism through the audit to consider potential deliberate omission or concealment of significant transactions, or incomplete/inaccurate disclosures in the financial statements.

Augment Risk Services UK Limited
Independent Auditor's Report to the Shareholders of Augment Risk Services UK Limited (continued)
In response to these principal risks, our audit procedures included but were not limited to:
∙enquiries of management and the board on the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with laws and regulations, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud;
∙inspection of the Company’s regulatory and legal correspondence and review of minutes of board director’s meetings during the year to corroborate inquiries made;
∙discussion amongst the engagement team in relation to the identified laws and regulations and regarding the risk of fraud, and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance or opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of financial statements throughout the audit;
∙designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing or extent of our testing;
∙challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates, including revenue recognition; and
∙review of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and inquiries of management.
∙The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with those charged with governance and management. As with any audit, there remains a risk of non-detection or irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or override of internal controls.
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 to the Financial Statements
For the 14-month period ended 31 December 2023
Augment Risk Services UK Limited (the 'Company') is a limited company incorporated in England and Wales. The Company's registered office is at Suite 1, 7th Floor 50 Broadway, London, United Kingdom, SW1H 0DB. The Company's principal activity is providing operational and administrative services to related entities, in the field of reinsurance and risk capital solutions. Its incorporation date was 11 November 2022 and as such these financial statements cover the Company's first reporting period, from incorporation to 31 December 2023.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards and Interpretations as adopted by the UK (collectively IFRSs). They were authorised for issue by the Company's board of directors on 08 August 2024.
Details of the Company's accounting policies, including changes during the 14-month period, are included in note 3.
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgments, 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 areas where judgments and estimates have been made in preparing the financial statements and their effects are disclosed in note 5.
|
2.1 Changes in accounting policies
i) New standards, interpretations and amendments effective from 11 November 2022
|
∙References to Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3);
∙COVID-19 – Related Rent Concessions beyond 30 June 2021 (Amendments to IFRS 16);
∙Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16);
∙Onerous Contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37);
∙Annual Improvements to IFRS standards (2018-2020 Cycle);
∙Subsidiary as a First-time Adopter (Amendments to IFRS 1);
∙Fees in the ‘10 per cent’ Test for Derecognition of Liabilities (Amendments to IFRS 9);
∙Lease Incentives (Amendments to IFRS 16); and
∙Taxation in Fair Value Measurements (Amendments to IAS 41).
These amendments to various IFRS standards are mandatorily effective for reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and have therefore been adopted and do not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial results or position.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the 14-month period ended 31 December 2023
2.Basis of preparation (continued)
|
|
|
New standards, interpretations and amendments not yet effective
|
The following new standards, interpretations and amendments, which are not yet effective and have not been adopted early in these financial statements, will or may have an effect on the Company's future financial statements:
The following amendments are effective for the period beginning 1 January 2023:
∙IFRS 17 ‘Insurance Contracts’, including amendments and initial application of IFRS 17 and IFRS 9 - comparative information’;
∙Amendments to IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts (Amendments to IFRS 17 and IFRS 4);
∙Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS
12);
∙Disclosure of Accounting Policies (Amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS Practice Statement 2);
∙Definition of Accounting Estimates (Amendments to IAS 8); and
∙International Tax Reform—Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12).
The directors are currently assessing the impact of these new accounting standards and amendments. The directors do not expect any standards issued by the IASB, but not yet effective, to have a material impact on the Company.
3.Accounting policies
After reviewing the Company’s forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue to operate for the foreseeable future.
The Company's revenue arises from intercompany services provided to a related entity, Augment Risk UK Trading Ltd. The Company provides various operating and administrative services to Augment Risk UK Trading Ltd, for which it receives an intercompany revenue.
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items denominated in foreign currency at year-end exchange rates are recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange rates at the transaction date), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.

Augment Risk Services UK Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the 14-month period ended 31 December 2023
3.Accounting policies (continued)
|
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.
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 Company in respect of services provided by employees up to the reporting date.
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the 14-month period. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
|
|
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other short-term, highly liquid investments maturing within 90 days from the date of acquisition that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when an entity 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.
|
Functional and presentation currency
|
These financial statements are presented in pound sterling, which is the Company's functional currency. All amounts have been rounded to the nearest pound, unless otherwise indicated.

Accounting estimates and judgments
|
Allowances for impairment of receivables
The management estimates the allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) based on assessment of specific accounts where the Company has objective evidence comprising default in payment terms or significant financial difficulty that certain customers are unable to meet their financial obligations. In these cases, judgment used was based on the best available facts and circumstances including, but not limited to, the estimated recoverable amount.

Changes in tax rates and factors affecting the future tax charges
The standard rate of UK Corporation Tax remained at 19% until 31 March 2023. The Finance Act 2021 increased this from 19% to 25% from 1 April 2023. In summary, the rate of corporation tax from 1 April 2023 has increased to 25% for companies generating taxable profits of more than £250,000. The 19% tax rate will continue to apply to 'small' companies with profits less than £50,000, with a 'taper relief rate' for those companies with profits between the new thresholds. Deferred tax assets and liabilities have been recognised using the tax rates applicable for the date the assets and liabilities are expected to reverse.

Financial instruments - fair values and risk management
|
|
15.1 Financial risk management objectives
|
The Company is exposed to certain risks in relation to financial instruments. The financial assets and liabilities of the Company are summarized by category in notes 11 and 12. Risk management is coordinated by the Company’s management team in close cooperation with the board of directors. As the Company is in its startup phase, the focus of the Company’s risk management is to maintain liquidity while continuing to invest in growth to develop and deliver reinsurance and risk capital solutions.
The Company does not actively engage in the trading of financial instruments. The most significant financial risks to which the Company is exposed are market risk (including currency risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
Market risks arise from open positions in interest rate and currency products, which would be exposed to general and specific market movements. The Company manages market risk through periodic estimation of potential losses that could arise from adverse changes in market conditions.
The company earns its revenues in Pounds Sterling (GBP). Operating expenses of the Company are primarily paid in GBP, but certain vendors are paid in US dollars (USD).
To mitigate the Company's exposure to foreign currency risk, the exchange rates amongst these key currencies are monitored regularly. A significant fluctuation in any one of these exchange rates could have an adverse effect on the financial position of the Company.
|
15.3 Credit risk management
|
The Company earns its revenues from a related party, Augment Risk UK Trading Ltd. On this basis, the credit risk borne by the Company is relatively low.
|
|
15.4 Liquidity risk management
|
|
|
Liquidity risk refers to the availability of sufficient funds to financial obligations as they actually fall due.
The Company regularly monitors expected future cash flows to assess the cash position, and evaluates the impact of various cash flow scenarios. Given the Company’s startup phase, the liquidity risk is subject to inherent uncertainties typical of early stage companies, including but not limited to market appetite of the Company’s reinsurance and risk capital services.
