Notes to the Accounts
for the year ended 31 December 2023
1 Accounting policies
Basis of preparation
The accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard).
Intangible fixed assets
Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses. Amortisation of intangible fixed assets commences when they start to generate revenue and will be based on a deemed useful life of ten years.
Investments
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss account.
Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency translation
Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recognised at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. At the end of each reporting period foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate of exchange. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost are translated at the rate ruling at the date of the transaction. All differences are charged to profit or loss.
Share-based payments
The value of share options granted to members of the company's share option scheme is recognised as an expense incurred over the applicable vesting period.

The cost attributed is calculated by reference to the number of share options expected to actually vest, the fair value of each option when granted and the vesting period. The cost is recognised in the applicable financial year and credited to the share option reserve.

3 Share-based payment arrangements
On 29 December 2020 a Share Option scheme was created for the incentivization of an “Eligible Employee” defined as any person who is an employee or a director of the company (or its subsidiaries) or for an “Eligible Person” who provides services to the company (or its subsidiaries).

The rules of the scheme provide for two types of share option, Type A and Type B. Type A Options are those that on the date they are granted qualify as an “EMI Option” for the purposes of Schedule 5 (Enterprise Management Incentives) of the Income Tax (Earnings and Pensions) Act 2003. Type B Options do not qualify as an “EMI Option”.

Subject to the Option Holder ceasing to be an employee or officer of a member of the Group or ceasing to provide services to a member of the Group, in each case otherwise than as a Good Leaver as defined by the scheme rules, Options may be exercised on or after the third anniversary of the Options being granted or at an earlier date on receipt of written notice to allow an Option to be exercised at any time or during any period specified by the Board.

All unexercised Options lapse on the tenth anniversary of the date on which they were granted.

The exercise price for all Options is £100 per share.

8 Contingent liabilities
During the year ended December 31, 2016 the Board of Agua Via Ltd entered into an agreement with one of the company’s consultants to allot 757 ordinary shares in the company to be issued at par, payable by the consultant and a one time incentive payment of $75,000 where the agreement is contingent upon both the successful signing of a Water Supply Agreement and a successful closing of project financing leading to specified project revenues for the company. There is a contingent liability for the company in respect of the requirement to make a charge in the Profit & Loss Account in respect of the share premium attributable to those shares at the time they are to be issued. Since the value of the shares on that occasion is unknown at the present time no provision can be made in respect of this contingent charge. No provision in respect of these contingent proposals has been made in the accounts.
One Agua Via Ltd director has a deferred salary of £2,000 per month from December 2021 to March 2023 that is only payable upon the company obtaining investment funds of $500,000 at which time the balance due, £32,000 as at 31 December 2023, will become payable.
