| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| iRed Limited is a |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The presentational currency of the financial statements is Pound Sterling (£) which is rounded to the nearest Pound (£). |
| Going concern |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. |
| The company has reported a loss for the year and at the balance sheet date was in a net current liabilities position.Post the balance sheet date the company is pleased to have seen an increase in sales and gross profit, and a reduction in the operating loss generated. However, the company remains in a net current liabilities and overall net liabilities position, including significant balances due to and from fellow group companies. The company expects to incur further operating losses in the short term with the continued ramp up of business activities to service evolving market demands in a nascent industry. |
| The company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the company's parent company, Volatus Aerospace Corp., continuing to provide financial support. Additional funding has now been secured at group level. Volatus Aerospace Corp. has confirmed that it intends to provide financial support to enable the company to meet its liabilities as and when they fall due for at least 12 months after the approval of these financial statements. The directors believe that Volatus Aerospace Corp. has adequate resources to continue to provide a sufficient level of support and based on this, the provision of a letter of support and current and previous actual provision of support, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare financial statements on the going concern basis. |
| The directors therefore have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. These financial statements do not reflect the adjustments to the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the reported expenses and balance sheet classifications that would be necessary if the company were unable to realise its assets and settle its liabilities as a going concern in the normal course of business. Such adjustments could be material. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| Turnover is recognised on dispatch of goods, and when the services have been provided. |
| Grant income |
| Grants relating to revenue are recognised in income on a systematic basis over the periods in which the entity recognises the related costs for which the grant is intended to compensate. Grants that become receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the entity with no future related costs are recognised in income in the period in which it becomes receivable. |

| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost less estimated residual value of each asset over its expected useful life as follows: |
| Plant and machinery | - | 20% on reducing balance |
| Fixtures and fittings | - | 20% on reducing balance |
| Motor vehicles | - | 20% on reducing balance |
| Computer equipment | - | 20% on cost |
| The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss. |
| Stocks |
| Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value, on the average costing method, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow moving items. |
| Financial instruments |
| Financial instruments are classified by the director as basic or advanced following the conditions in FRS 102 section 11. Basic financial instruments are recognised at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the effect of discounting would be immaterial, in which case they are stated at cost. The company has no advanced financial instruments. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |

| Employee benefits |
| The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee's services are received. |
| Share-based payments |
| Certain employees of the company are awarded share options in the ultimate parent company, Volatus Aerospace Inc. within a share option scheme. Each tranche is an award and is considered a separate award with its own vesting period and grant date fair value. The fair value of each tranche is measured at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The compensation expense, and related parent company capital contribution, would be recognised over the tranche's vesting period based on the number of awards expected to vest. However, the directors believe the calculated charge is not material so the financial statements have not been adjusted to reflect this. The number of awards expected to vest is reviewed over the vesting period, with any forfeitures recognised immediately. The number of options outstanding at the year end was 30,000 (2023: 110,000). |
