Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Intangible assets |
Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are recognised separately from goodwill provided they are separable or arise from contractual or other legal rights and their fair value can be measured reliably. |
Where intangible assets recognised have finite lives, after initial recognition their fair value is amortised on a straight line basis over those lives. The nature of those intangibles recognised and their estimated useful lives are as follows:- |
Patents - Straight line over 20 years |
Tangible fixed assets |
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life. |
Fixtures and fittings | 33% on cost |
Computer equipment | 33% on cost |
Investments in subsidiaries |
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are recognised at cost and reviewed annually for impairment. |
Taxation |
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Income Statement, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. |
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the statement of financial position date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the statement of financial position date. |
Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |

2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
Research and development |
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year in which it is incurred. |
Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |
Cash and cash equivalents |
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on hand, demand 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 changes in value. |
Trade and other receivables |
Trade and other receivables that do not contain a significant financing component are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently held at amortised cost less provision for impairment. |
Trade and other payables |
Trade and other payables are not interest-bearing and are stated at nominal value. |
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. Where shares are issued, any component that creates a financial liability of the company is presented as a liability in the balance sheet. The corresponding dividends relating to the liability component are charged as interest expense in the profit and loss account. |

Going concern |
As part of their going concern review the Directors have prepared detailed financial forecasts and cash flows for the Company looking forward at least 12 months from the date of the approval of these financial statements. In preparing those forecasts, the Directors have made certain assumptions based upon their view of the current and future economic conditions that will prevail over the forecast period. |
At 31 March 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of £7k. |
On 18 December 2023, the Parent Company, Incanthera PLC, announced a commercial skincare deal with Marionnaud for the launch and distribution of Skin + CELL, the Incanthera group's ('Group') luxury skin care range, into Europe and Asia. To deliver this, the Group has entered into a manufacturing partnership with skincare manufacturing experts Frike, based in Switzerland. Under the terms of this partnership, Frike is responsible for manufacturing and delivery of our product to Marionnaud. Incanthera also announced that it had established a wholly owned subsidiary, Skin + CELL AG, based in Zurich, to oversee the manufacture and distribution of our product, and manage the relationships within the commercial deal and potential new deals. |
The announcement of the commercial arrangements to the market and to shareholders in December 2023 came alongside institutional investment to raise £1million for inventory build and product launch. At group level, the exercise of existing shareholder warrants in April 2024 raised £0.7 million and a further institutional led investment in June 2024 added a further £2.6 million. This funding has been deployed into further inventory scale-up in anticipation of the initial launch in September 2024 and the significant cash flows which are expected to arise following our product launch will quickly transform the Group into a positive cash generating position. |
Based on their financial projections and the application of reasonably probable sensitivity analysis in relation to expected revenues and associated costs, the Directors are satisfied that the Group and the Company can continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the annual financial statements. However, the commercialisation of Skin + CELL is in its early stages and due to the fact that the Company is manufacturing Skin + CELL for the first time for sale, the projected revenues are dependent on the Group's ability to deliver saleable manufactured product in the required quantities during the going concern period. |
Although the Directors are confident of delivering such product, there is currently no track record of fulfilment to demonstrate that this will be the case. This represents a material uncertainty in relation to the Directors' assessment of going concern.The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments that would be necessary should the going concern basis of preparation not be appropriate. |
