Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
QUELL TECH LTD is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 12742746 . The registered office is 2 De Beauvoir Square, London, N1 4LG.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 section 1A Small Entities "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The Company incurred a loss during the year of £5,627,471 (2023: £3,776,595) following extensive investment in the company's research and development activities. Historically, these losses have to date been funded by the company's parent company, Quell Inc. by the provision of equity investment and intercompany loans. Quell Inc. has indicated that it will not seek repayment of the intercompany loan of £4,080,629 outstanding at the 31st December 2024.
Based on available resources, ongoing parental support, and a significant cost restructuring carried out post-year-end (detailed in Note 11), the Directors have concluded it remains appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing these accounts, as the Company expects to have sufficient resources to meet obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these accounts.
2.3. 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 from the sale of goods is recognised when goods have been delivered to customers such that risks and rewards of ownership have transferred to them. Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs.
2.4. Intangible Fixed Assets and Amortisation - Other Intangible
Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is calculated, using the straight-line method, to allocate the depreciable amount of the assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
      Website build                                                 5 years.
2.5. Research and Development
Expenditure on research and development is written off in the year it is incurred.
2.6. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Plant & Machinery 3 years
Fixtures & Fittings 5 Years
Computer Equipment 3 Years
2.7. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the statement of financial position date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.8. Taxation
The tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Corporation tax credits are recognised as income in the period necessary to match them with the related costs they are intended to incentivise and when all relevant qualyfing conditions have been met.
Page 4
Page 5
2.9. Pensions
The company operates a defined pension contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the income statement as they become payable in accordance with the rules of the scheme.
2.10. Share-based payments
The parent company operates an EMI qualifying share option scheme on behalf of the company. 
The fair value of the services received in exchange for the grant of the options is recognised as an expense. The total amount to be expensed over the vesting period is determined by reference to the fair value of the options granted, excluding the impact of any non-market vesting conditions. At each statement of financial position date, the entity revises its estimates of the number of options that are expected to vest. It recognises the impact of the revision to original estimates, if any, in the income statement. The credit entry is taken to reserves because the share options are equity-settled and then subsequently reclassified to creditors because the equity awards are fulfilled in the shares of the parent company.
2.11. Stocks
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving stocks. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads.

Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 33 (2023: 35)

11. Post Balance Sheet Events
Subsequent to the year end the company has carried out a significant cost reduction programme. Manufacturing of the company’s hardware gaming platform has been discontinued with the company focusing on software development and sales going forward. Accordingly, a provision has been included in the accounts as at 31 December 2024 to reflect the expected reduction in inventory value to net realisable value (see Note 6 for further details). No other material restructuring costs or liabilities have arisen beyond those already accounted for.
12. Ultimate Controlling Party
The immediate and ultimate parent undertaking is Quell Inc., a company incorporated in the United States of America. The registered office address is 251 Little Falls Drive, Wilmington, New Castle, Delaware, 19808, United States.
The directors consider there to be no ultimate controlling party.
13. Share Based Payments
The parent company operates an equity-settled share-based payment scheme on behalf of the company. This scheme has been provided to certain employees, contractors, and advisors. 
Subsequent to the year end following a company restructuring all remaining unexercised share options lapsed as vesting conditions were no longer met. Consequently, no share-based payment charge has been made for the year to 31st December 2024 and previous charges have been credited to profit and loss.
