Strategic Report
For the period ended 31 December 2023
Page 1

The director presents the strategic report for the period ended 31 December 2023.

 

The Strategic Report provides a review of the business for the financial year and describes how risks are managed. The report outlines the developments and performance of the company during the financial year, the position at the end of the year and discusses the main trends and factors that could affect the future.

 

Key performance indicators are published to show the performance and position of the company.

Fair review of the business

The company was established in the year to act as an investment holding company with the aim of achieving increases in the capital values of its investments over the short to medium term.

 

The company raised funds and acquired its initial investment in the period. The financial statements reflect a reduction in the value of the investment however the investment was acquired with the view to achieving gains over the medium term. Management initiatives to improve the performance of the investment were at an early stage at the period end and the director is satisfied that the medium term plans remain appropriate to improve the financial performance and consequently capital value in the medium term.

Principal risks and uncertainties

The company's operational risks are considered to be manageable. There are a number of risks and uncertainties which could impact the performance of the company. The company operates a risk management process which identifies, evaluates and prioritizes risks and uncertainties and reviews mitigation activity.

 

Principal risks to the overall business include:

 

- Demand globally for the products and services of investee companies: The firm maintains good relations with clients, contacts and potential customers which allow us to monitor the economic and technological trends globally, the competitive environment and the factors impacting demand. This enables the company to ensure it has the complementation of infrastructure, skills and the resources to be able to respond to opportunities as they arise and also to react quickly to changes in circumstances.

 

- Staff retention and attracting new staff: As a provider of services the investee companies are dependent on their human resources. The company seeks to mitigate this risk by offering a stimulating, collaborative working environment, competitive salary, and excellent benefits.

 

- Information technology: The firm is dependent on information technology for the provision of services and technical resources. There is a risk that these systems might be compromised or fail. The company has clear governance policies over information security, together with systems maintenance, regulatory monitoring reviews, off site back up and physical controls testing and therefore the risk of systems failure is minimised.

 

- Competition: The risk relating to the uncertainty created by the existence of competitors or the emergence of new competitors with their own strategies. We firmly believe in the approach of our investee companies to maintain our strong presence in our chosen markets.

 

- Financial risk: The firm’s operations expose it to a number of financial risks including credit and liquidity risk in investee companies and for the company the ability to finance projects. The company has processes to manage credit and liquidity risk and ensures appropriate funding is available before making investments.

 

- Inflation: An economic slowdown caused a rapid rise in inflation could pose a risk and impact turnover in investee companies in the upcoming fiscal year.

Key performance indicators

Overall, this first period saw the acquisition of the first investment. Management plans to increase the capital value of the investment are at an early stage and so although a reduction in value was recorded in the financial statements the director is confident the longer term strategy will yield improvements in the coming years. The director is satisfied with the financial position at the end of the year and the company is looking forward to a positive year in 2024.

Loss before tax $20,122,351

The director is responsible for preparing the annual report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations.

 

Company law requires the director to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law the director has elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (United Kingdom Accounting Standards and applicable law). Under company law the director must not approve the financial statements unless he is satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and of the profit or loss of the company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the director is required to:

 

 

The director is responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the company’s transactions and disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the company and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. He is also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

Independent Auditor's Report
To the Members of Fent International Limited
Page 5
Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Fent International Limited (the 'company') for the period ended 31 December 2023 which comprise the Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Balance Sheet, the Statement of Changes in Equity, the Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including FRS 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion the financial statements:

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Conclusions relating to going concern

In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the director's use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.

 

Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.

 

Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the director with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.

Other information

The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. The director is responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

 

Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the course of the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact.

 

We have nothing to report in this regard.

Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006

In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit:

Matters on which we are required to report by exception

In the light of the knowledge and understanding of the company and its environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the Strategic Report or the Director's Report.

 

We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:

 

Responsibilities of director

As explained more fully in the Director's Responsibilities Statement, the director is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the director determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

In preparing the financial statements, the director is responsible for assessing the company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the director either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Fent International Limited
Independent Auditor's Report (Continued)
To the Members of Fent International Limited
Page 7
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

 

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs (UK) we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

 

 

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

Independent Auditor's Report (Continued)

Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud

Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below.

The objectives of our audit in respect of fraud, are; to identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements due to fraud; to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the assessed risks of material misstatement due to fraud, through designing and implementing appropriate responses to those assessed risks; and to respond appropriately to instances of fraud or suspected fraud identified during the audit. However, the primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of fraud rests with both management and those charged with governance of the company.

Our approach was as follows:

 

 

There are inherent limitations in the audit procedures described above. We are less likely to become aware of instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations that are not closely related to events and transactions reflected in the financial statements. Also, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by, for example, forgery or intentional misrepresentations, or through collusion.

Use of our report

This report is made solely to the company's members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company's members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

Accounting policies
Company information

Fent International Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 1 Patternoster Square, London, United Kingdom, EC4M 7DX.

1.1
Reporting period

The company was incorporated on 29 May 2023 and presents it first financial statements for the period to 31 December 2023.

1.2
Accounting convention

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

The financial statements are prepared in US dollars, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest $. At the Balance Sheet date the exchange rate was $1: £0.7854.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention as modified to include investments measured at open market value through the profit and loss account. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

1.3
Going concern

Atruet the time of approving the financial statements, the director has a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the director continues to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.

 

The company's principal activity is the holding of investments. Adequate funding arrangements are put in place prior to any acquisitions occurring. Ongoing costs are covered by the company and the entities it holds as investments or its parent. The director has reviewed the funding arrangements and is satisfied they are sufficient to support the company for at least one year from the date of approval of these financial statements and is satisfied that the going concern basis remains appropriate.

1.4
Fixed asset investments

The company holds investments with a view to establishing an investment portfolio designed for subsequent resale in the short to medium term.

 

Investments representing a substantial proportion of an investee company's issued share capital that would qualify as a subsidiary are excluded from consolidation on the basis they are acquired as part of an investment portfolio .

 

Investments are initially measured at transaction price including transaction coasts and are subsequently measured at fair value at each reporting date. Changes in fair value are recognised in the profit and loss.

Accounting policies
(Continued)
Page 14
1.5
Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities.

1.6
Financial instruments
Other financial assets

Other financial assets, including investments in equity instruments which are not consolidated subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures, are initially measured at fair value, which is normally the transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at fair value and the changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss, except that investments in equity instruments that are not publicly traded and whose fair values cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, other than those held at fair value through profit and loss, are assessed for indicators of impairment at each reporting end date.

 

Financial assets are impaired where there is objective evidence that, as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the financial asset, the estimated future cash flows have been affected. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss is the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of the estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.

 

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

Financial assets are derecognised only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or are settled, or when the company transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity, or if some significant risks and rewards of ownership are retained but control of the asset has transferred to another party that is able to sell the asset in its entirety to an unrelated third party.

1.7
Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

1.8
Taxation

The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

Current tax

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes items that are never taxable or deductible. The company’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting end date.

Fent International Limited
Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the period ended 31 December 2023

Accounting policies
(Continued)
Page 15
Deferred tax

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

 

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

1.9

Fair value measurement and valuation process

The unlisted investments are measured at fair value for financial reporting purposes. The directors of the Company meet at least twice a year to determine if there are any reasons to revise the fair value on the basis of six-monthly fair value assessment reports prepared by the fund manager.

 

The fair value assessments performed by the fund manager are done in terms of the International Private Equity Valuation guidelines.

 

The fund manager’s fair value assessment procedures take into account:

· Unit of account

· Instrument

· Instrument protections

· Time since investment

· Previous and current revaluations

· Going concern ability

· Qualitative factors

· Quantitative factors

 

In estimating the fair value of these financial instruments the fund manager uses market-observable data to the extent it is available. Where market-observable data are not available, the fund manager uses non-observable inputs to make a determination of whether there has been an impairment or an uplift.

2
Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the director is required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.

Judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
(Continued)
Page 16

Disclosure is required of judgements and estimates made by the fund manager in applying the accounting policies that have a significant effect on the financial statements. The area involving the highest degree of estimation uncertainty is the valuation of unlisted investments. Refer to Note 8 below, where the fair value of these investments are disclosed. If the valuation of the unlisted investments moved by up to +/- 20%, this would change the net asset value of the Company by +$8,201,550/

-$8,201,550.

 

Management will apply the 20% valuation range consistently from prior years to ensure year on year comparability to the users of these financial statements. The percentage of estimation uncertainty has been applied to the portfolio as a whole, as any individual valuation uncertainties have been taken into account when the Fund Manager completed the bi-annual fair valuation assessments of the underlying investments.

 

The directors do not believe there were any critical accounting judgements applied in the year.
