| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Kallanish Limited is a |
| 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. Unless indicated otherwise in the accounting policies below, the financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. This is considered appropriate on the basis that the shareholders will continue to provide financial support to the company for the foreseeable future to enable the company to meet its liabilities as they fall due. |
| Preparation of consolidated financial statements |
| The financial statements contain information about Kallanish Limited as an individual company and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The company is exempt under Section 399(2A) of the Companies Act 2006 for the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied: |
| - the amount of revenue can be measured reliably, |
| - it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract, |
| - the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and |
| - the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets relate to website development costs which are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. |
| Website development costs are being amortised evenly over its estimated useful life of 10 years. |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes the original purchase price and costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to its working condition for its intended use. |
| Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life: |
| Plant and machinery - 25% reducing balance. |
| On disposal, the difference between net proceeds and the carrying amount of item sold is recognised in the income statement and is included in administrative expenses. |
| 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. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Investments in subsidiaries |
| Investments in subsidiary undertakings are initially recorded at cost, representing the fair value of the consideration transferred, including any directly attributable acquisition costs. |
| Loans advanced to subsidiary undertakings that are intended to provide long-term financial support and are not expected to be repaid in the foreseeable future are classified as fixed asset investments. These are treated as an increase in the cost of the investment, reflecting their substance as capital contributions. |
| Investments are reviewed annually for indicators of impairment. Where there is evidence of a permanent diminution in value, an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account. Any subsequent reversal of impairment is also recognised in the profit and loss account to the extent of the original impairment. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial instruments are classified and accounted for, according to the substance of the contractual arrangement, as either financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities. |
| All financial assets and liabilities are initially measured at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The company has a cash-settled share-based compensation plan which is measured at fair value through the income statement. |
| Investments are initially recorded at cost, being the fair value of the consideration given and including acquisition costs associated with the investment. All purchases and sales of investments are recognised using trade date accounting. The value of the investments are reviewed on an annual basis and a provision is made where any impairment in value is considered to be appropriate. |
| Trade and other debtors are recognised and carried forward at invoiced amounts less provision for any doubtful debts. Bad debts are written off when identified. |
| Cash and cash equivalents comprise of cash at bank and in hand, and are included in the balance sheet at cost. |
| Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| 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. |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| 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. |
| 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. Any gain or loss arising from a change in exchange rates subsequent to the date of the transaction is included as an exchange gain or loss in the income statement. Non-monetary items are not re-translated at the balance sheet date and are recognised at their transaction cost. |
| Leasing commitments |
| Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the period of the lease. |
| 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. |
| Share based payments |
| Equity-settled share-based payment |
| The company operates an equity-settled share-based compensation plan for certain employees, whereby employees render services for equity instruments (equity settled transactions). |
| The cost of equity settled transactions is recognised as an expense in the income statement, together with a corresponding increase in equity, over the period in which the performance and or service conditions are fulfilled, ending on the date on which relevant employees become fully entitled to the award (the vesting date). |
| These options are measured at fair value at the grant date by using the Black-Scholes model in line with FRS 102 26.11. The fair value determined at the grant date is expensed on a straight line basis over the vesting period, ending on the vesting date, and adjusted for the estimated probability of employee retention. |
| Cash-settled share-based payment |
| The company also operates a cash-settled share-based compensation plan, whereby individuals render services for a cash-settled share-based payment instrument. |
| The cost of these transactions is recognised as a expense in the income statement, together with a corresponding increase in the liability. At each reporting date until the settlement date, the financial liability is re-measured to reflect the fair value of the share-based payment and adjusted to reflect the probability of individual retention. Any changes in the fair value are recognised in the income statement for the period. |
| Once the individual becomes entitled to the award, upon settlement, the liability is extinguished and the difference between the recognised liability and the amount paid is recognised in the income statement. |
