Notes to the financial statements
for the year ended 31 December 2023

1.


General information

Synthesis Research Limited is a private limited Company limited by shares and incorporated in England & Wales on 7 June 2019. The address of the registered office is C/O Buzzacott LLP, 130 Wood Street, London, United Kingdom, EC2V 6DL and the principal place of business of the Company is 120 New Cavendish Street, London, W1W 6XX.
The principal activity of the Company in the period under review was the provision of investment advisory services.

2.Significant accounting policies

 
2.1

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.

The financial statements are presented in Pound Sterling (£), which is also the functional currency.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied consistently throughout the year.

 
2.2

Going concern

After reviewing the forecasts and projections the director has reasonable expectations that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

 
2.3

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.

All revenue arose from services performed within United Kingdom.

  
2.4

Administrative expenses

All expenses have been accounted for on an accrual basis.

2.Significant accounting policies (continued)

  
2.5

Taxation

The current tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excluded items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company's current tax liability is calculated using rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

  
2.6

Deferred taxation

Deferred tax is provided in full on timing differences which result in an obligation at the statement of financial position date to pay more tax, or a right to pay less tax, at a future date, at rates expected to apply when they crystallise based on current tax rate and law. Timing differences arise from the inclusion of items of income and expenditure in taxation computations in periods different from those in which they are included in financial statements.
Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is regarded as more likely than not that they will be
recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

 
2.7

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.8

Pensions

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.
The contributions are recognised as an expense in Statement of comprehensive income when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
2.9

Tangible assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Computer equipment
-
Over 3 years

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date. 
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in Statement of other comprehensive income.

2.10

Debtors

Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment for bad and doubtful debts.

 
2.11

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash at bank and in hand, demand deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice and other short term highly liquid investments with original maturity of 3 months or less and bank overdrafts.

 
2.12

Creditors

Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial creditors are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs.

 
2.13

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instruments transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors.
Debt instruments are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received. However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in the case of an out-right short-term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting
period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement of comprehensive income.
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between
an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original
effective interest rate. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any
impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference
between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Statement of financial position
when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

2.14

Foreign currency translation

Transactions and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Non-monetary
items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and
non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was
determined.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at
period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in
the Statement of comprehensive income. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income.

Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the companies accounting policies, which are described in note 2, the directors are required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the period-end date and amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the period. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates.
There were no significant estimates or judgments made in the year.
