| Directors' Responsibilities Statement |
| for the year ended 31 December 2024 |
|
| The directors are responsible for preparing the Directors' Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and regulations. |
|
|
| Company law requires the directors to prepare financial statements for each financial year. Under that law, the directors have elected to prepare the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), including Financial Reporting Standard 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland. Under company law, the directors must not approve the financial statements unless they are satisfied that they give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Company and its profit or loss for that period. |
|
|
|
|
|
| In preparing these financial statements, the directors are required to: |
| • |
select suitable accounting policies for the Company’s financial statements and apply them consistently; |
| • |
make judgements and accounting estimates that are reasonable and prudent; |
| • |
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements; |
|
| • |
prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the Company will continue in business. |
|
| The directors are responsible for keeping adequate accounting records that are sufficient to show and explain the Company’s transactions and disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the Company and to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the company and for taking reasonable steps to prevent and detect fraud and other irregularities. |

|
| Conclusions relating to going concern |
| In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the directors’ use of going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate. |
| Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from the date when the financial statements are authorised for issue. |
| Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the directors with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report. |
|
| Other matter |
| For the financial year ended 31 December 2023, the Company was not required to obtain audited financial statements as the Company qualified as small under company law and availed of the small company audit exemption. Therefore, the corresponding figures have not been audited. |
|
| Other information |
| Other information comprises information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon, including the Directors’ Report. The directors are responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. |
| In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies in the financial statements, we are required to determine whether there is a material misstatement in the financial statements or a material misstatement of the other information. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. |
| We have nothing to report in this regard. |
|
Independent auditor's report to the members of Endiprev UK Limited(Continued) Opinions on other matters prescribed by the Companies Act 2006 |
| In our opinion, based on the work undertaken in the course of the audit: |
• the information given in the Directors’ Report for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and |
| • the Directors’ Report has been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements. |
|
| Explanation as to what extent the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud |
| Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of irregularities, including fraud. Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that material misstatement in the financial statements may not be detected, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with the ISAs (UK). The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below. |
|
|
| Independent auditor's report to the members of Endiprev UK Limited(Continued) |
| Based on our understanding of the Company and industry, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related to compliance with Data Privacy law, Employment Law, Environmental Regulations and we considered the extent to which non-compliance might have a material effect on the financial statements. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation of the financial statements such as the local law and tax / Companies Act 2006 and UK tax legislation. The Audit engagement partner considered the experience and expertise of the engagement team to ensure that the team had appropriate competence and capabilities to identify or recognise non-compliance with the laws and regulation. We evaluated management’s incentives and opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of controls), and determined that the principal risks were related to posting inappropriate journal entries to manipulate financial performance and management bias through judgements and assumptions in significant accounting estimates, in particular in relation to significant one-off or unusual transactions. We apply professional scepticism through the audit to consider potential deliberate omission or concealment of significant transactions, or incomplete/inaccurate disclosures in the financial statements. |
| In response to these principal risks, our audit procedures included but were not limited to: |
• enquiries of management on the policies and procedures in place regarding compliance with laws and regulations, including consideration of known or suspected instances of non-compliance and whether they have knowledge of any actual, suspected or alleged fraud; |
• inspection of the Company’s regulatory and legal correspondence and review of minutes of directors’ meetings during the year to corroborate inquiries made; |
• gaining an understanding of the entity’s current activities, the scope of authorisation and the effectiveness of its control environment to mitigate risks related to fraud; |
• discussion amongst the engagement team in relation to the identified laws and regulations and regarding the risk of fraud, and remaining alert to any indications of non-compliance or opportunities for fraudulent manipulation of financial statements throughout the audit; |
• identifying and testing journal entries to address the risk of inappropriate journals and management override of controls; |
| • designing audit procedures to incorporate unpredictability around the nature, timing or extent of our testing; |
• challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their significant accounting estimates including impairment and useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, recoverability of debtors, and realisation of deferred tax assets; and |
• review of the financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation and inquiries of management. |
| The primary responsibility for the prevention and detection of irregularities including fraud rests with those charged with governance and management. As with any audit, there remains a risk of non-detection or irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations or override of internal controls. |
|
| The purpose of our audit work and to whom we owe our responsibilities |
This report is made solely to the company’s members, as a body, in accordance with chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed. |
We were appointed by the Board of Directors to audit the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. This is the first year we have been engaged to audit the financial statements of the company. |

Going concern |
|
After reviewing the Company's forecasts and projections, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Company therefore continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements. |
|
|
|
|
|
Turnover |
|
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer. 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. |
|
|
Intangible fixed assets |
|
Intangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative amortisation and any accumulative impairment losses. |
|
|
Tangible fixed assets |
|
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulative depreciation and any accumulative impairment losses. Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, other than freehold land, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset evenly over its expected useful life, as follows: |
|
|
Fixtures, fittings, tools and equipment |
33.33% on Straight Line Method |
|
Computer equipment |
33.33% on Straight Line Method |
|
|
The gain or loss, if any, 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. |
|
|
|
Impairment of fixed assets |
|
|
Financial instruments |
|
The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. Financial instruments are recognised in the Company's balance sheet when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basic financial assets |
|
Basic financial assets, which include trade debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Classification of financial liabilities |
|
Financial liabilities are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. |
|
|
|
Basic financial liabilities |
|
Basic financial liabilities, including trade creditors, other creditors, amounts owed to group undertakings that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised. |
|
|
|
|
|
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method. |
|
|
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
|
|
|
|
|
Leases |
|
|
Recoverability of debtors |
|
The Company has made judgments when assessing the impairment of its debtors. Outstanding balances have been grouped on the basis of similar risk characteristics such as past-due status, and impairment has been reviewed with reference to historical loss experience updated for current conditions. |
|
|
|
|
|
Determination of realisable amount of deferred tax assets |
|
Deferred tax assets are recognised for the unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Significant management judgement is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognised, based on the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future planning strategies. |
|
|
|
|
|
Estimating useful lives of tangible and intangible assets |
|
The Company estimates the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets based on the period over which the assets are expected to be available for use. The estimated useful lives of tangible and intangible assets are reviewed periodically and are updated if expectations differ from previous estimates due to physical wear and tear, technical or commercial obsolescence and legal or other limits on the use of the assets. In addition, estimation of the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets is based on collective assessment of industry practice, internal technical evaluation and experience with similar assets. Actual results, however, may vary due to changes in estimates brought about by changes in factors earlier mentioned. |
