NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025


1. Statutory information

Q-Bot Limited is a private company, limited by shares , registered in England and Wales. The company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page.

2. Accounting policies

Basis of preparing the financial statements
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the Companies Act 2006. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
Historically, the company issued shares to employees and members of its advisory panel constituting share based payments. FRS 102 requires the company to recognise the fair value of the equity instruments as an additional cost. The fair value of the shares issued has been derived using the entity-specific observable market data. The total additional income recognised in the profit and loss in respect of these share based payments is (£11,039) (2024 - £Nil). There are no other key sources of estimation identified by management other than those detailed in these accounting policies.

Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Tangible fixed assets
Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life or, if held under a finance lease, over the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

Plant and machinery - 20% - 50% straight line
Motor vehicles - 20% straight line
R&D Equipment - 20% - 50% straight line
IT and Office Equipment - 20% - 50% straight line
Robots - 20% straight line

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, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in ordinary shares.

For financial assets measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset's original effective interest rate. If a 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.

For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between an asset's carrying amount and best estimate of the recoverable amount, which is an approximation of the amount that the Company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the reporting date.

2. Accounting policies - continued
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.

Research and development
In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight line basis over their useful economic lives, over 5 years.

If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.

Foreign currencies
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.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts or finance leases are capitalised in the balance sheet. Those held under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Those held under finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is the shorter.

The interest element of these obligations is charged to profit or loss over the relevant period. The capital element of the future payments is treated as a liability.

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.

Going concern
The Board of Directors has reviewed the Company’s position at the time of signing the financial statements taking into account recent performance and projections. In particular the Board of Directors has carefully considered the current issues caused by increasing costs resulting from the wider cost of living crisis.

The Board of Directors has considered these factors and the wider economy at the time of approving the financial statements and the potential impact these may have on the Company’s results going forward. The Company continues to attract equity and debt investment as it remains on track for strong growth and achieving income targets that would achieve a monthly break-even result. The Board of Directors has prepared forecasts under a number of different scenarios for the remainder of the financial year and medium term.

Share based payments
The company operates an equity-settled, share-based compensation plan, under which the entity receives services from employees and members of its advisory panel as consideration for equity instruments (options) of the entity. The fair value of the services received is measured by reference to the estimated fair value at the grant date of equity instruments granted and is recognised as an expense over the vesting period. The estimated fair value of the option granted is calculated based on an estimate of market value of the option specific to the company, which takes into account the liquidity of the shares and risk profile of the company. The total amount expensed is recognised over the vesting period, which is the period over which all of the specified vesting conditions are to be satisfied.

The proceeds received net of any directly attributable transaction costs are credited to share capital (nominal value) and share premium when the options are exercised.

Convertible loans
The proceeds received on issue of the Company's convertible loan are allocated into their liability and equity components and presented separately in the statement of financial position.

The amount initially attributed to the loan component equals the discounted cash flows using a market rate of interest that would be payable on a similar debt instrument that did not include as option to convert.

The difference between the new proceeds of the convertible loan and the amount allocated to the loan component is credited direct to the equity and is not subsequently remeasured. On conversion, the debt and equity elements are credited to the share capital and share premium as appropriate.

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the instrument are allocated to the liability and equity components of the instrument in proportion to the allocation proceeds.

3. Employees and directors

The average number of employees during the year was 47 (2024 - 56 ) .
