2.Accounting policies
|
|
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 following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements
|
The Company and its subsidiary constitute a small group, as defined by the Companies Act 2006. The directors have chosen not to prepare consolidated accounts. These accounts show information for the Company and not about its group.
The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. After making enquiries, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate capital, liquidity and access to related party funding, to meet its current and long term obligations and to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Specifically, the Company benefits from the support of its ultimate parent entity, and the Directors are satisfied that funds will be made available to the Company to enable it to meet its liabilities as they fall due.

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 transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument.
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 balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
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.

|
Related party transactions
|
The Company is exempt from disclosing transactions with other 100% owned members of the group headed by SparkCognition Inc.

The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 1 (2022 - 2).
