Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements were prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value.

The financial statements are presented in Sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest one thousand pounds (£’000) except when otherwise indicated.

Going concern

The Directors have assessed the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has adequate financial resources and its cash flow forecasts indicate that there are sufficient funds to cover the cash needs to at least a year after the approval date of these financial statements. The Directors are satisfied that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. The Directors have therefore concluded that it remains appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.

 

Enrichment Investments Limited

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

Significant judgements and estimates

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported for assets and liabilities as at the end of the reporting date and the amounts reported for revenues and expenses during the year. However, the nature of estimation means that actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgement in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies.

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting date that have a significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year relate to the carrying value of the Company's investment in its associate undertaking, Urenco Limited.

The carrying value of the investment is subject to an annual impairment review to ensure that the carrying value of the investment held by the Company does not exceed its recoverable amount. The key areas of judgement and uncertainty that could impact on the carrying value of the investment in Urenco Limited at the year end within the next financial year relate to:

• exchange rate movement which could cause a reduction in the carrying value of Urenco Limited when converted into sterling

• judgements and estimations applied to the Urenco Limited accounts at the year end. These are disclosed in the Urenco Limited accounts and primarily relate to the review of the cash generating unit carrying values, revenue and profit recognition, deferred tax asset valuations, provisions and actuarial assumptions for defined benefit pensions.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

The Company's functional and presentation currency is pound sterling. 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.

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 profit and loss account.

Investments

Fixed asset investments are shown at cost less provision for the impairment in value. An annual impairment review is undertaken each year to establish if there is any indication of impairment and if necessary to quantify any such provision that may be required.

Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Equity instruments are measured at the fair value of the cash or other resources received or receivable, net of the direct costs of issuing the equity instruments. If payment is deferred and the time value of money is material, the initial measurement is on a present value basis.

Dividends

Dividend income is recognised when the right to receive payment is established.

Dividends and other distributions to Company's shareholders are recognised as a liability in the financial statements in the period in which the dividends and other distributions are approved by the Company's shareholders. These amounts are recognised in the statement of changes in equity.
