Strategic Report
Year Ended 31 December 2023
The directors present their strategic report for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Principal Activity
Macat's principal activity continues to be focused on assessing and teaching 21st century skills, predominantly critical thinking and most recently creativity. MACAT intends to extend its offering to the assessment and teaching of communication and collaboration with machines.
Macat's core value proposition lies in its specialization and its methodology that underpins the assessment and fostering of these skills. MACAT does this via PACIER, which is an acronym for a propriety model that defines critical thinking as the component skills of problem solving, analysis, creative thinking, interpretation, revaluation and reasoning. Macat also developed the PACIER Method, which builds on the PACIER model to offer an end-to-end solution that helps people Test, Train and Track their critical thinking skills.
The PACIER Method of "Test, Train and Track" is delivered by the PACIER Products that include: PACIER Assessments, PACIER Library and PACIER Masterclasses (Domain-Agnostic and Domain-Specific).
Fair review of the business
The company has made a loss of £958,363 (2022: profit £207,418) it continues to invest in the development of its PACIER Products and grow its sales channels.
Principal risks and uncertainties
The principal risks relate to the rate of take up of Macat's PACIER Products and its ability to fund the business in the meantime. Another risk lies in collecting the current accounts receivables which is mitigated by a provision for bad debts. The Directors judge these to be manageable risks.
Key financial and other performance indicators
The company's key financial and other performance indicators during the year are as follows: Cash flow and cash burn; and revenue.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 December 2023
General information |
The company is a private company limited by share capital, incorporated and domiciled in England and Wales.
The address of its registered office is:
Information on the company's ultimate controlling party is presented in note 18.
Accounting policies |
Statement of compliance
The company financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards and its interpretations adopted by the UK ("adopted IFRS's").
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with adopted IFRSs and under historical cost accounting rules.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies.
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions which are based on management's best judgement at the date of the financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modifies as appropriate in the year in which the circumstances change.
Exemption from preparing group accounts
Under provision of section 398 of the Companies Act 2006 the company is exempt from preparing consolidated accounts and has not done so; therefore the accounts show information about the company as an individual entity.
Macat International Limited
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 December 2023
Revenue recognition
Revenue comprises the fair value of the consideration received or receivable for the sale of goods
and provision of services in the ordinary course of the company’s activities. Revenue is shown net of
sales/value added tax, returns, rebates and discounts and after eliminating sales within the company.
Critical accounting estimates and judgements
The company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. As a start-up, the company has limited historical experience but takes a view of future events based on continual evaluation of its potential product offering in the marketplace based on discussions with independent third parties. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment of carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
Power to exercise significant influence
Management's assessment of going concern is based on the company having won a number of contracts with book distributors within the financial year and after the balance sheet date, and also the aim of winning further contracts in the future. In the event of this trading being pushed back, or fewer contracts being won than anticipated, the company will manage its working capital to ensure no shortages in cash occur. The shareholders are expected to inject the necessary funds into the business if required to continue trading as a solvent entity.
Going concern
Macat International Limited is a start-up company that is challenging the way Critical Thinking skills are being developed, the provision of educational services in this area, and the way in which they are being evaluated and monitored. This is being delivered in a new, innovative way and, as with anything new and innovative, there is a significant amount of risk associated with delivering a successful outcome.
The directors have prepared a cash flow forecast up to 2023 which shows that future discounted cash flows exceed the carrying value of the non-current assets at the balance sheet date. The forecast contains certain assumptions about the performance of the business including the successful implementation of a number of signed contracts with international book distributors, the successful signing of further contracts with other distributors, and the cost model, margins and discount rate used. In the next 12 months, the most critical assumptions are those concerning the growth of the business. The directors are aware of the risks and uncertainties facing the business as it continues to win contracts with book distributors but the assumptions used are the directors’ best estimate of the future development of the business, taking into account the current status of contract negotiation and successful implementation of the first signed contract.
Macat International Limited
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 December 2023
After considering the forecasts and the risks, the directors believe that, whilst these risks exist, they can successfully deliver this growth, and have the backing of the shareholders who have provided financial support to the company. In addition, as the technology and intellectual property is new, the directors are considering different ways to monetise these assets and add new revenue streams, some of which have started to generate revenue in 2021 and 2022. The directors believe that the shareholders will continue to support the company for the foreseeable future and, as a result, they believe that it is appropriate to continue to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis. However, beyond the next 12 months the company will need either to have substantially increased its revenues or taken actions to ensure it remains sufficiently funded. As with any start-up company, there is always an inherent risk over the ability to continue as a going concern if forecasts are not met and cash resources are not adequate. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would result from an inability to continue as a going concern.
Based on a detailed review of future cash flows, existing and planned customer contracts and the anticipated completion of a current issue of convertible loan notes, the Board of Directors is satisfied that the business is a going concern.
Tax
Current taxes are based on the results shown in the financial statements and are calculated according to local tax rules, using tax rates enacted or substantially enacted by the statement of financial position date.
Deferred income tax is provided, using the liability method, on temporary differences between tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, in the financial statements. Deferred income tax assets relating to the carry-forward of unused tax losses are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future tax profit will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilised.
Current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset when the income taxes are levied by the same taxation authority and when there is a legally enforceable right to offset them.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost of purchase or construction and are depreciated on a straight line basis, except for land, which is not depreciated.
Depreciation
Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Depreciation method and rate |
Computer equipment |
33% straight line |
Furniture, fittings and office equipment |
33% straight line |
Repairs and maintenance costs are recognised as expenses as incurred. Borrowing costs are not capitalised. There are no leases assets.
Macat International Limited
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 December 2023
Intangible assets
Expenditure on internally developed products is capitalised if it can be demonstrated that:
- it is technically feasible to develop the product for it to be sold
- adequate resources are available to complete the development
- there is an intention to complete and sell the product
- the company is able to sell the product
- sale of the product will generate future economic benefits, and
- expenditure on the project can be measured reliably
Capitalised development costs will be amortised over the periods the company expects to benefit from selling the products developed. The amortisation expense will be included within the cost of sales line in the statement of financial position.
Development expenditure not satisfying the above criteria and expenditure on the research phase of internal projects are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as incurred.
Amortisation
Amortisation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
Asset class |
Amortisation method and rate |
Software |
10-20% reducing balance |
Investments
Investments in securities are classified on initial recognition as available-for-sale and are carried at fair value, except where their fair value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are carried at cost, less any impairment.
Unrealised holding gains and losses other than impairments are recognised in other comprehensive income. On maturity or disposal, net gains and losses previously deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income are recognised in income.
Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.
Financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contracts that gives rise to them and they are derecognised on settlement. They are measured initially at fair value, normally being the transaction price.
The subsequent accounting treatment depends on the classification of an instrument as set out below.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call 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.
Macat International Limited
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements
Year Ended 31 December 2023
Trade receivables
Trade receivables are amounts due from customers for merchandise sold or services performed in the ordinary course of business. If collection is expected in one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer), they are classified as current assets. If not, they are presented as non-current assets.
Trade receivables are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of trade receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
Trade payables
Trade payables are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less (or in the normal operating cycle of the business if longer). If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Trade payables are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Borrowings
All borrowings are initially recorded at the amount of proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the income statement over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in finance costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Leases
Leases in which substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Payments made under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the period of the lease.
Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Defined contribution pension obligation
A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a separate entity and has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.
The contributions are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as an asset.

Financial instruments |
Financial instruments give rise to liquidity, credit, interest rate and foreign currency risks. The directors review and agree policies for managing these risks. Financial instruments are not used for speculative activity and complex financial instruments are avoided. Information about how these risks are managed is set out below.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk arises from ongoing financial obligation. Currently the company has no revenues and incurs liabilities in funding its subsidiary, Mouseion Professors Limited, as well as outsiders.
Its current funding has been provided by its shareholders and its future funding requirements will be met by raising more capital from its shareholders.
Based on current projections and support from shareholders management of cash flows is considered adequate to finance variations in forecast working capital.

Year Ended 31 December 2023
Credit risk
The company is in start-up mode and as such has no significant revenues. The major receivable is from its wholly owned subsidiary Mouseion Professors Limited which is responsible for developing the content component of the digital library.
While Mouseion is dependent on it's funding from Macat, the latter will continue to support it.

As Mouseion Professors Limited owns the Intellectual Property in the content which is an essential component of the Macat library Macat International Limited will continue to support the subsidiary, and management is of the view that there is no specific exposure.
Interest rate risk
As the company has no credit lines in place and as the interest earned is not material management is of the view that there is no significant interest rate risk.
Foreign currency risk
Costs are mainly incurred in pounds sterling although there are some US Dollar and Euro costs. These are unhedged.
