Basis of preparing the financial statements |
Going concern |
Despite the fact that the company had net liabilities at the period end, at the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company will obtain adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. There are material uncertainties which may cast doubt about the company's ability to continue as a going concern and that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. A detailed assessment has been carried out on the company's business plan. The key assumption underlying this assessment is that the company will successfully raise additional funding to invest in its business plan and generate sufficient returns to repay its creditors and lenders in due course. |
The company also has a letter of support from the groups ultimate parent company to provide necessary funding for at least 12 months from the approval of the financial statements. As with any company placing reliance on other group entities for financial support, the directors acknowledge that there can be no certainty that this support will continue, although at the date of approval of these financial statements, they have no reason to believe that it will not do so. |
Consequently, the Directors are confident that the company will have sufficient funds to continue to meet its liabilities as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements and therefore have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
Related party exemption |
The company has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group. |
Significant judgements and estimates |
The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. |
There are no material judgements or estimations that would have a significant effect on amounts recognised in this year's financial statements. |
Turnover |
Revenue from goods and services is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the customer. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates, VAT and other sales taxes or duty. |
Deferred income is in relation to advanced funding for a project that will be recognised once the project has commenced. |

Tangible fixed assets |
Computer equipment | - |
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Such costs includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended. |
The carrying values of tangible fixed assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. |
The impairment review has resulted in the long leasehold being fully amortised during the 2018 financial year as the company was and still is in negotiations to terminate the lease agreement as the company does not intend to occupy the premises. |
Inventories |
Stocks and work-in-progress are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value on an average cost basis, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Work-in-progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis by recording turnover and related costs as contract activity progresses. |
Financial instruments |
Financial instruments are classified and accounted for according to the substance of the contractual arrangements as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments, and are held at amortised cost. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all its liabilities. |
Loans and borrowings are initially recognised at the transaction price including transaction costs. Subsequently, they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method, less impairment. If an arrangement constitutes a finance transaction it is measured at present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument |
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 balance sheet date. |
Deferred tax |
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet 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. |
Foreign currencies |
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
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. |

Material uncertainty related to going concern |
We draw attention to the retained earnings in the financial statements, which reports that the company returned a net loss of £203,655 during the year ended 31st December 2023, and as of that date, the company's liabilities exceeds its total assets by £41,223,518. |
The director has stated that the company has the financial support of its parent company, Ableon Ltd and although Ableon Ltd is reliant on the valuation of its asset portfolio to provide that support, the director believes it will be in place for at least 12 months from date of approval. As stated in note 2 to the financial statements, these events or conditions, along with other matters set forth in the note, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter. |
