Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
1. General information
Finnovista Frontier Limited is a private company limited by shares and incorporated in
2. Accounting policies
2.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in applying the Company's accounting policies (see note 3).
The presentation currency of these financial statements is euros. All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest €1,000.
The following principal accounting policies have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these financial statements unless otherwise stated.
2.3 Consolidated financial statements
The Company is a parent undertaking of a small group and, as such, is not required by the Companies Act 2006 to prepare group accounts. Therefore, these financial statements present information about the Company as an individual undertaking and not about its group.
Finnovista Frontier Ltd
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
2.4 Going concern
In considering the appropriate basis on which to prepare the financial statements, the directors are required to consider whether the Company can continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
The Company generated a loss of €99,955 (2023: loss of of €67,000) during the year and had a net asset balance of €101,515 as at 31 December 2024 (2023: €220,9120).
The Company holds sufficient cash to be able to support expenditure for a period of 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements. The forecasts produced by the directors only include signed contracts and have been prepared on a worst-case basis, these show headroom on available cash one year from the date these financial statements are signed. However, the directors do not believe there is sufficient headroom on forecasts to remove uncertainty over the going concern assessment. The directors have therefore obtained confirmation from Rainmaking Innovation Limited that it is the intention to provide the necessary financial support to the Company to ensure that the Company will be able to settle is liabilities as they fall due for a period of not less than 12 months from the date of signing these financial statements.
The directors have reviewed Rainmaking Innovation Ltd's ability to provide this financial support including their cash flow forecasts and projections. These forecasts show significant cash facilities available for the next 12 months. On this basis, the directors have concluded that it is appropriate to prepare the Company's financial statements on the going concern basis.
2.4 Turnover
Turnover is income associated with the provision of startup accelerator services and is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the period in which the service is provided, net of VAT and trade discounts.
2.5 Valuation of investments
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Investments in unlisted company shares, where market value can be reliably determined, are remeasured to market value at each Balance Sheet date. Gains and losses oan remeasurement are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period. Where market value cannot be reliably determined, such investments are stated at historie cost less impairment.
2.6 Interest income
Interest income is recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income using the effective interest method.
2.7 Exceptional items
Exceptional items are transactions that fall within the ordinary activities of the Company but are presented separately due to their size or incidence.
Finnovista Frontier Ltd
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
2.8 Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net af transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
2.9 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty an notice of not more than 24 hours.
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts af cash with insignificant risk of change in value.
2.10 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.
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence af impairment. If objective evidence af impairment is found, an impairment loss is recognised in the Statement af Comprehensive Income.
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 af 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 Balance Sheet date.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the Balance Sheet when there is an enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle an a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

For the Year Ended 31 December 2024
2.11 Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price. Other financial liabilities, including bank
loans, are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
2.12 Foreign currency translation Functional and presentation currency
The Company's functional and presentational currency is Euros.
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 the Statement of Comprehensive Income 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 Comprehensive Income within finance income or costs. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the Statement of Comprehensive Income within 'other operating income’.
2.13
Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the etfective 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.

• | the recognition af deferred tax assets is limited to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal af deferred tax liabilities ar 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 af liabilities acquired and the amount that will be assessed for tax.
