NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1.Accounting policies

 
1.1

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.

The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 2).

The following principal accounting policies have been applied:

  
1.2

Going concern

SimpliSafe Ltd is in a net liability position which is primarily due to amounts owed to the parent company. Funding provided by the parent company has been received in order to aid growth in the Company and the local market. The Company has received written confirmation from its parent company, SimpliSafe, Inc., that it will continue to provide financial support for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. 
Furthermore, the director has assessed the ability of SimpliSafe, Inc. to provide this support based upon their cash flow forecasts and has concluded that the parent will have sufficient working capital to provide the necessary support. For this reason, the director continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1.Accounting policies (continued)

 
1.3

Turnover

Turnover is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover 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 turnover is recognised:

Sale of goods

Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
 
the Company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;
the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;
the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and
the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

Rendering of services

Turnover 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 turnover 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.

The Company's subscription software products are sold on a monthly rolling contract. Subscription turnover is recognised upon delivery of services on a monthly basis, once the performance obligations are met. 

 
1.4

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

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

1.Accounting policies (continued)


1.4
Foreign currency translation (continued)

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 profit or loss.

 
1.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 
1.6

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

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 profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

 
1.7

Share-based payments

Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each balance sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

 
1.8

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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1.Accounting policies (continued)


1.8
Tangible fixed assets (continued)

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:

Office equipment
-
5 years
Computer equipment
-
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 profit or loss.

 
1.9

Stocks

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

At each Balance Sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

 
1.10

Debtors

Debtors are measured at transaction price. Amounts owed by group undertakings are intercompany loans measured at cost. These loans are unsecured, interest free and repayable on demand in USD.

 
1.11

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions. 

  
1.12

Creditors

Short-term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Amounts owed to group undertakings are intercompany loans measured at cost. These loans are unsecured and repayable on demand in USD. During the year, interest was charged on intercompany loans between the rates of 3.25% - 5.0% per annum (2023: 3.25% - 5.0%).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

1.Accounting policies (continued)

 
1.13

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 charged as an expense to profit or loss in the year that the Company becomes aware
of the obligation, and are measured at the best estimate at the Balance Sheet date of the expenditure
required to settle the obligation, taking into account relevant risks and uncertainties.
 
When payments are eventually made, they are charged to the provision carried in the Balance Sheet.



2.


Judgements in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with FRS 102 requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. 
The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are addressed below.
Impairment of stock
The director reviews stock annually for any indication of impairment based on market conditions, and has concluded the carrying values are appropriate. Impairment losses are recognised as a cost of sale expense in profit or loss. 
Provision for warranty costs
The director has reviewed the need for a provision in the accounts against his expectation for future probable economic outflows based on the historical replacement rate for warranty claims on previous sales. The director has concluded the carrying value is appropriate. 
Valuation of share based payments
The director has reviewed the outstanding share options and restricted stock units ("RSUs") annually to assess the probability of vesting and exercise. The director has concluded that the share options and RSUs with a service vesting condition are likely to vest and as such, an expense has been recognised in profit or loss. The director has concluded that the performance-based RSUs will not vest and as such no expense has been recognised in profit or loss. 
The fair market valuation of share options and RSUs is based on advice from independent valuation experts and calculations of the expected enterprise value. The directors have determined the equity valuation as at the report date and as such an expense has been recognised in profit or loss to reflect the vested options arising in the period.

Share based payment
Certain employees of the Company along with other group employees have been granted options over the shares in SimpliSafe, Inc. The options are granted at an independently determined fair value with 50% designated as Time Vested Options and 50% designated as Performance Vested Options. Of the Time Vested Options 20% are exercisable one year after the vesting commencement date and then 5% for each quarter thereafter. 
The options expire ten years after the date of grant and the employees are required to be an employee of the Company at the date they exercise any options. An expense equivalent to the fair value of the share options granted is recognised evenly over the vesting period with a corresponding amount being recognised in the capital contribution reserve.
Capital contribution
The capital contribution represents an injection of capital from the shareholder which is not repayable. 


11.


Prior year adjustment

During the year, the directors identified that the capital contribution reserve was overstated for the year ended 31 March 2023 due to incorrect fair market value being applied to the share based payment calculations. An adjustment was made to decrease the capital contribution reserve as at 1 April 2023 by £240,158 and retained earnings brought forward was increased by the same amount. The net impact of this adjustment resulted in a reduction to the capital contribution reserve and an increase to retained earnings brought forward as at 1 April 2023 of £240,158. 


12.
