SERAPHIM SPACE MANAGER LLP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
Seraphim Space Manager LLP Is a limited liability partnership incorporated in the UK and registered in England and Wales.
The principal activity of the LLP is disclosed in the Members' report.
The LLP's registered address is 2nd Floor One Fleet Place, London, England, EC4M 7WS.
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 preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. Management does not consider there are any key accounting estimates or assumptions made that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Management is also required to exercise judgment in applying the entity's accounting policies. Due to the straight forward nature of the business management consider that no critical judgments have been made in applying the entity's accounting policies.
The LLP is the parent undertaking of a small group and as such is not required by the Companies Act 2006 to prepare group accounts. These financial statements therefore present information about the LLP as an individual undertaking and not about its group.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied:
After making enquiries and considering the cash runway and current performance of the portfolio companies in the SSIT and SSV II, the members have a reasonable expectation that the LLP has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the members continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and financial statements.
Turnover comprises revenue recognised by the LLP in respect of investment management and
performance fees net of valued added tax. Management fees are recognised as they accrue across
the year. Performance fees are recognised on crystallisation.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
2.Accounting policies (continued)
|
|
|
Tangible fixed assets (continued)
|
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
The estimated useful lives range as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Long-term leasehold property
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
The LLP does not trade in financial instruments and all such instruments arise directly from operations. All trade and other debtors are initially recognised at transaction value, as none contain in substance a financing transaction. Thereafter trade and other debtors are reviewed for impairment where there is objective evidence based on observable data that the balance may be impaired. The LLP does not hold collateral against its trade and other receivables so its exposure to credit risk is the net balance of trade and other debtors after allowance for impairment. The LLP's cash holdings comprise on demand balances. All cash is held with banks with strong external credit ratings. Trade and other creditors and accruals are initially recognised at transaction value as none represent a financing transaction. They are only derecognised when they are extinguished. As the LLP only has short term receivables and payables, its net current asset position is a reasonable measure of its liquidity at any given time.

|
|
Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The LLP'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.
|
|
|
Related party transactions
|
The LLP is exempt under section 33 of FRS102 from disclosing transactions or balances between wholly owned group companies.

SERAPHIM SPACE MANAGER LLP
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025
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.
|
|
|
Division and distribution of profits
|
A division of profits is the mechanism by which the profits of an LLP become a debt due to members. A division may be automatic or discretionary, may relate to some or all of the profits for a financial period and may take place during or after the end of a financial period.
An automatic division of profits is one where the LLP does not have an unconditional right to avoid making a division of an amount of profits based on the members' agreement in force at the time, whereas a discretionary division of profits requires a decision to be made by the LLP, which it has the unconditional right to avoid making.
The LLP divides profits both automatically and discretionarily. Automatic divisions of profits are recognised as 'Members' remuneration charged as an expense' in the Profit and loss account. Discretionary divisions of profits are recognised as amounts due to members, although these were used to offset amounts which were drawn by members in the past or, were recognised as loan assets repayable.
Profits of the LLP which are not yet divided among the members are shown under 'Other reserves' on the Reconciliation of Member's interests, pending a discretionary decision to distribute the profits.

|
The average monthly number of employees, during the year was 9 (2024 - 8).
