Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Earnest (London) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 06968614 . The registered office is 163 Herne Hill, London, SE24 9LR.
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 directors have agreed the going concern basis remains appropriate.
2.3. 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 is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances.
Sale of goods
Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed for the delivery of the goods.
Rendering of services
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. Turnover is only recognised to the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably.
2.4. 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:
Leasehold 10% straight line
Fixtures & Fittings 25% straight line
Computer Equipment 25% straight line
2.5. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet 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.
2.6. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other year and items that are never taxable or deductible. 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.
3. Average Number of Employees
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year were 30 (2023: 42)

10. Post Balance Sheet Events
Earnest (London) Limited was acquired by Pulse Comms Limited on the 3rd January 2025.
11. Related Party Transactions
The company owns 100% of the share capital of Earnezt Holdings Inc, a company incorporated in Delaware, USA. Earnezt Holdings Inc owns 100% of the share capital of Earnest LLC, a company incorporated in Delaware, USA.
During the period to 31 December 2024, the company made sales to Earnezt LLC of £309,676 (2023 : £267,766) of which £241,933 remains unpaid at the year end and sales to Earnezt Holdings Inc of £nil (2023 : £nil). In addition, during the period to 31 December 2024, the company incurred costs from Earnezt LLC of £105,575 (2023: £123,393) of which £nil remains unpaid at the year end and costs from Earnezt Holdings Inc of £nil (2023 : £nil). 
At the balance sheet date, the company was owed £705,809 by Earnezt LLC (2023 : £578,051) and £166 by Earnezt Holdings Inc. (2023 : £166) in respect of loans made.
Of the total intercompany receivables of £947,908 due from Earnezt LLC and Earnezt Holdings Inc, a provision of £805,975 has been made against this balance as it is considered partially or fully irrecoverable based on the current financial position of the counterparties. The company will continue to monitor the position in future periods.
12. Share-based payment transactions
The company operates a share option scheme for the benefit of its employees. Certain employees of the company have been granted options over the ordinary shares in the company. The options are granted with a fixed exercise price and in accordance with the rules of the company share option plans.
As the company is unable to directly measure the fair value of employee services received and consider the use of a model such as the Black Scholes Model as being in-appropriate due to many inputs (such as current share price, volatility and the like) not being ascertainable with any degree of accuracy, it determined the fair value of the share options at grant date using the valuation aspects of a simple tax based option scheme and as being equivalent to a small interest in the shares of the company.
During the period, the company recognised total share based payment reversal of £25,157 (2023 : £Nil) in respect of the lapse of certain options, together with share based payment expenses of £31,461 (2023 : £8,672) which related to accelerated equity-settled share based payment transactions identifed as probable and significant to vest and be exercised in early 2025.
