These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

Metafora Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is Amelia House, Crescent Road, Worthing, West Sussex, BN11 1QR.

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 “The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland” (“FRS 102”) and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime. The disclosure requirements of section 1A of FRS 102 have been applied other than where additional disclosure is required to show a true and fair view.

The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention. The principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. The directors have considered relevant information, including the annual budget and the impact of subsequent events in making their assessment.

The directors consider the going concern basis for preparing these financial statements appropriate, despite the negative retained earnings. The company meets its working capital requirement by way of support from its parent company. The parent company has confirmed that it will continue to support the company so that it will settle liabilities as they fall due for a period of 12 months from the date of signing the financial statements. The directors believe future forecasts are satisfactory to ensure the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

Based on these assessments and having regard to the resources available to the entity, the directors have concluded that there is no material uncertainty in relation to the appropriateness of continuing to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the annual report and accounts.

Cash at bank and in hand are basic financial assets and include cash in hand, deposits held at call with banks, and bank overdrafts.

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.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.

The average monthly number of persons (excluding directors) employed by the company during the year was 0 (2023 - 0).

Amounts owed to group undertakings have no terms and are therefore repayable on demand. Whilst the classification as current liabilities reflects the contractual nature of the loans, the group creditor does not seek repayment of these loans until the company is financially able to do so. This may be more than 12 months from the reporting date.

As the income statement has been omitted from the filing copy of the financial statements, the following information in relation to the audit report on the statutory financial statements is provided in accordance with s444(5B) of the Companies Act 2006:
