NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
Supernova Capital Two Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is 3rd Floor, One London Square, Cross Lanes, Guildford, GU1 1UN.
The financial statements are presented in Sterling (£), which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
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 Section 1A of Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the Companies Act 2006.
The company has adopted FRS 102 Section 1A for the first time for the year ended 31 March 2024, having previously applied FRS 101. This change has been applied retrospectively to align with the recognition, measurement, and presentation requirements of FRS 102 Section 1A. The transition would not result in any material differences impacting equity or profit or loss, and, as such, no adjustments were required due to the change in accounting framework.
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in applying the company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
|
Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements
|
The company, and the group headed by it, qualify as small as set out in section 383 of the Companies Act 2006 and the parent and group are considered eligible for the exemption to prepare consolidated accounts.
The company has made a loss in the current year of £3,533,937 (2023: £4,683,505) and has net liabilities of £9,527,923 (2023: £5,993,986) at the balance sheet date. Therefore, the company is reliant on financial support from its ultimate parent company, Wedgwood FIC Limited, which itself is reliant upon the support of its beneficial owner, who has provided a letter of support to Supernova Capital Two Limited confirming it will provide financial support to the company for a period of at least 12 months from the approval of these financial statements. There are short-term pressures on group cashflows and should the ultimate beneficial owner not provide support to the group, then these circumstances would indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast doubt over the ability of the company to continue as a going concern.
After having made enquiries with the ultimate beneficial owner, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the parent company will continue to be able to provide financial support to the company based on the support of the ultimate beneficial owner. Accordingly, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Revenue of the company consists of recharges made to group undertakings. Revenue is recognised as the costs to which the recharges relate are incurred, as this is the point at which the company's performance obligation is satisfied. Revenue is recognised at the transaction price that is allocated to the performance obligation, being the consideration that is expected to be received.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
The company has elected to apply Sections 11 and 12 of FRS 102 in respect of financial instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
The company’s policies for its major classes of financial assets and financial liabilities are set out below.
Financial assets
Basic financial assets, including other debtors and intercompany balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.
Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Financial liabilities
Basic financial liabilities, including trade creditors, loans from fellow group companies and intercompany balances are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument. Financing transactions are those in which payment is deferred beyond normal business terms or is financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Financial instruments (continued)
|
For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If the financial asset has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interest rate determined under the contract.
If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.
Derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets are derecognised when (a) the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or (b) substantially all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the asset are transferred to another party or (c) despite having retained some significant risks and rewards of ownership, control of the asset has been transferred to another party who has the practical ability to unilaterally sell the asset to an unrelated third party without imposing additional restrictions.
Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, that is when the contractual obligation is discharged, cancelled or expires.
Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is an 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.
Ordinary share capital is classified as equity.

|
Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The company's functional and presentational currency is Sterling (£).
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.
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 except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
Foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'administrative expenses'.
|
|
|
Current and deferred taxation
|
The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, 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.
Current tax is the amount of income tax payable in respect of taxable profit for the year or prior years.
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.
Deferred tax arises from timing differences that are differences between taxable profits and total comprehensive income as stated in the financial statements. These timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in the financial statements.
Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the balance sheet 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 balances are not recognised in respect of permanent differences except in respect of business combinations, when deferred tax is recognised on the differences between the fair values of assets acquired and the future tax deductions available for them and the differences between the fair values of liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Restatement of comparitives
|
Loans from fellow group companies of £424,942, which were recorded as "creditors: amounts falling due after more than one year" in the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2023, have been restated in these accounts to be disclosed as "creditors: amounts falling due within one year" as there is no formal agreement in place and the loans are repayable on demand.

|
Judgments in applying accounting policies and key sources of estimation uncertainty
|
Impairment of investments
The company determines whether these investments are impaired when indicators of impairment exist or based on the annual impairment assessment. The annual assessment requires an estimate of the recoverable amount by reference to the value in use of the subsidiary undertakings.
Value in use is based on forecast future cash flows generated by the subsidiaries. These cash flows have not been discounted based on management's assessment of this being immaterial. There were no impairment of investments in the current year (2023: impairment of £2,526,880).
|
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 3 (2023 -3).

Due to the loss-making position of the subsidiaries, the directors undertook an impairment review in the prior year and determined that the carrying amount of the investments exceeded the recoverable amount. An impairment charge of £nil (2023: £2,526,878) was recognised in the year to bring the carrying amount of the investment in line with the recoverable amount.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024
|
|
First time adoption of FRS 102
During the year, the company transitioned to FRS 102 from FRS101 as at 1 April 2022. The policies applied under the entity's previous accounting framework are not materially different to FRS 102 and have not impacted on equity or profit or loss.
|
The auditor's report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2024 was unqualified.
|
|
In their report, the auditor emphasised the following matter without qualifying their report:
Material uncertainty related to going concern
We draw attention to Note 2.3 of the financial statements, which indicates that the directors have a reasonable expectation that the ultimate parent company and beneficial owner will continue to be able to provide financial support to the company. However, if they are unable to provide financial support to the company, this would indicate the existence of a material uncertainty, which may cast doubt over the ability of the company to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors' use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. Our evaluation of the directors' assessment of the company's ability to continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting included reviewing post year end management accounts and forecasts.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of the report.
|
The audit report was signed on 13 May 2025 by Marc Levy FCA (senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Blick Rothenberg Audit LLP.
