NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.Accounting policies

 
1.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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 following principal accounting policies have been applied:

 
1.2

Going concern

The directors have considered the cash requirements of the Company for at least 12 months from the signing of these financial statements. This assessment is based on available financing from the ultimate parent company, Offensive Security Holdco, LLC. which has provided written confirmation that it will continue to provide support to the Company for at least 12 months following the signing of these financial statements. For this reason the directors have prepared the financial statements on the going concern basis. 

 
1.3

Turnover

Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Rendering of services

Turnover is recognised on the basis of a re-charge to a fellow subsidiary, Offensive Security Services Limited, of all administrative expenditure, in line with a service agreement that is in place. Intercompany turnover is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
 
the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;
it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the intercompany service agreement;
the costs incurred under the intercompany service agreement can be measured reliably.

 
1.4

Operating leases: the Company as lessee

Rentals paid under operating leases are charged to profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Benefits received and receivable as an incentive to sign an operating lease are recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term, unless another systematic basis is representative of the time pattern of the lessee's benefit from the use of the leased asset.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024

1.Accounting policies (continued)

 
1.5

Pensions

Defined contribution pension plan

The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations.

The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

  
1.6

Share based payments

Where share options are awarded to employees, the fair value of the options at the date of grant is charged to profit or loss over the vesting period. Non-market vesting conditions are taken into account by adjusting the number of equity instruments expected to vest at each Balance Sheet date so that, ultimately, the cumulative amount recognised over the vesting period is based on the number of options that eventually vest. Market vesting conditions are factored into the fair value of the options
granted. The cumulative expense is not adjusted for failure to achieve a market vesting condition.
The fair value of the award also takes into account non-vesting conditions. These are either factors beyond the control of either party (such as a target based on an index) or factors which are within the control of one or other of the parties (such as the Company keeping the scheme open or the employee maintaining any contributions required by the scheme).
Where the terms and conditions of options are modified before they vest, the increase in the fair value of the options, measured immediately before and after the modification, is also charged to profit or loss over the remaining vesting period.

 
1.7

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.

The estimated useful lives range as follows:

Computer equipment
-
3
years

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

Capital contribution reserve

The capital contribution reserve includes an amount of £486,449 which was paid on behalf of the entity by a fellow subsidiary and is not deemed repayable.
A historical amount of £93,593 is included which represents outstanding share options granted by the parent company to a former employee of the Company under the parent company's share option plan which had fully vested in 2022.
On 11 October 2024, Offensive Security Services LLC, the parent company of Offensive Security Services (UK) Limited, was acquired by Leeds Equity Partners, VIII L.P. Following the acquisition, the existing share option scheme held by Offensive Security Services (UK) Limited was cancelled.
All outstanding unvested share options were cancelled and accordingly accelerated and recognised as
an expense of £7,752 in the profit and loss.
