NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

1.


General information

Rebellion Studio Properties Ltd is a private company limited by shares & incorporated in England and Wales, registered number: 11468925. Its registered head office is located at Riverside House, Osney Mead, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX2 0ES.

2.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 FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. The disclosure requirements of Section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

These financial statements are presented in Sterling (£) and rounded to the nearest whole (£).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
2.2

Going concern

The Group’s banking facilities secured in July 2021 are subject to certain financial covenants. This funding was provided to refinance existing property mortgages, acquire a new property and provide new funding to support its investment programme. The Group continues to invest significantly in all key areas of the business on the back of its cash generation and this banking facility. 
The level of revenue, cash generated by the Group, and compliance of financial covenants remains highly geared towards the timings of game releases. As at 30 June 2024 it has been more than two years since a major game release, with the next major game releases scheduled for early 2025. Whilst prior releases continue to perform well, during the financial year ended 30 June 2024, the Group obtained certain financial covenant waivers from the lender and amendments to the facilities. After the balance sheet date, the Group secured further amendments to the banking facilities to modify certain financial covenants in the agreement with the aim to further support the Group to achieve its strategic objectives prior to the next scheduled releases. The Group’s existing banking facilities are repayable by July 2025.
The Group has prepared forecasts and projections, taking into account current cash resources and available funding to cover future expected trading, and sensitised the forecasts for reasonably possible changes in gaming volume. These forecasts support the conclusion of the Directors that the Group is a going concern. Furthermore, although the Group expects to renew its facilities prior to July 2025, in the improbable scenario where the facilities were not renewed, the Group would have various options available to ensure it could meet any liabilities as they fall due. This would include taking such actions as revenue optimisation via promotional activity, improvements to operational efficiency, sale of non-core assets, and other measures. These measures would enable the Group to have adequate resources to continue operational existence for the foreseeable future, for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
The Company, therefore, continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.
The Directors consider it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis due to the commitment by the ultimate parent company, Rebellion Group Ltd, to provide any necessary financial support required to enable the Company to discharge its liabilities, and therefore continue as a going concern for at least 12 months from the date of approving the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

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 Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting date, except that:
The recognition of deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits; and
Any deferred tax balances are reversed if and when all conditions for retaining associated tax allowances have been met.

Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

 
2.4

Tangible fixed 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:

Freehold property
-
50 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 profit or loss.

 
2.5

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value.

 
2.6

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.7

Provisions for liabilities

Provisions are recognised when an event has taken place that gives rise to a legal or constructive obligation, a transfer of economic benefits is probable and a reliable estimate can be made.
Provisions are measured as the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation, taking into account the related risks and uncertainties.
 
Increases in provisions are generally charged as an expense to profit or loss.
 
 
2.8

Financial instruments

The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 “Basic Financial Instruments” of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's Statement of Financial Position when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally 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.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instruments any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Company after the deduction of all its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, which include trade and other payables, bank loans and other loans are initially measured at their transaction price after transaction costs. When this constitutes a financing transaction, whereby the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at their amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.

Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods and services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Trade payables are classified as current liabilities if the payment is due within one year. If not, they represent non-current liabilities. Trade payables are initially recognised at their transaction price and subsequently are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Discounting is omitted where the effect of discounting is immaterial.
