NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

General information

Novata UK Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006. The address of its registered office is Copthall House, 14-18 Copthall Avenue, 5th Floor, London, EC2R 7DJ.

2.Accounting policies

 
2.1

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:

  
2.2

Going concern

The company acts as a cost centre for its parent, Novata Inc. and relies on support from the parent company. The going concern status of the company is directly linked to the going concern status of its parent. The financial statements of Novata Inc. for the year ended 31 December 2024 indicate that there is a material uncertainty in respect of going concern.
The directors have made estimates and judgements in arriving at expected forecast results for the period covering the next 12 months from the date of signing of the financial statements. Changes in the key assumptions, which are considered by the directors to be the best estimate at the time of the accounts being signed, could impact the going concern conclusions being reached. This includes the rate of cash burn and the ability of the parent company to raise sufficient new capital when required.
The forecasts prepared by the directors indicate that the parent and therefore the company can continue to operate as a going concern for a period of at least 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. If some of the material assumptions made in the forecasts were to be altered, the available cash balance would be likely to decrease, and this may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern resulting in the company not being able to realise its asset and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The directors consider the likelihood of this situation to be low however, if this were to occur there would be a material uncertainty over the going concern status of the accounts. Based on the forecasts prepared, the directors are satisfied that the company is in a position to meets its liabilities as they fall due over the next 12 months from the date of signing of these financial statements. On this basis the financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.3

Foreign currency translation

Functional and presentation currency

The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP.

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 that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of income and retained earnings within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

 
2.4

Revenue

Revenue from contracts to provide sales, marketing, G&A, and R&D services to the parent company is recognised in the period in which the services are provided. Revenue is recognised on a mark up basis on certain operating costs incurred by the Company. Revenue is recognised to the extent that is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the contract and the amount of revenue can be measured reliably. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding value added tax.

 
2.5

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

 
2.6

Interest income

Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.

 
2.7

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

2.Accounting policies (continued)

 
2.8

Current and deferred taxation

The tax expense for the year comprises current and deferred tax. 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 reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.

Deferred tax balances are recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed by the reporting 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 reporting date.

 
2.9

Financial instruments

The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors.

Auditor's information

The auditor's report on the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 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 2.2 in the financial statements, which indicates that the company may be adversely affected by the going concern status of its parent company, Novata Inc. Whilst the directors of the parent company have taken action to implement cost saving measures with a view to there being sufficient cash available to continue operations, the parent company’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024 contain a material uncertainty related to going concern. This matter directly impacts the company due to the company acting as a cost centre for the parent, therefore meaning that the company’s operations rely on the continuing operation of its parent.
As stated in note 2.2, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.2, 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.
 

The audit report was signed on 24 June 2025 by Robin Hopkins FCA (Senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Menzies LLP.
