1.1
Reporting period
The company was incorporated on 15 April 2023. The prior period financial statements cover the 9 months from incorporation to 31 December 2023. As such, the comparative figures in these financial statements are not comparable.
1.2
Accounting convention
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.
This company is a qualifying entity for the purposes of FRS 102, being a member of a group where the parent of that group prepares publicly available consolidated financial statements , including this company, which are intended to give a true and fair view of the assets, liabilities, financial position and profit or loss of the group. The parent company being Equiteq M&A Holdings Limited, incorporated in England and Wales, the registered address is the 6th floor, 9 Appold street, London United Kingdon, EC2A 2AP. The company has therefore taken advantage of exemptions from the following disclosure requirements:
Section 7 ‘Statement of Cash Flows’: Presentation of a statement of cash flow and related notes and disclosures;
Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instrument Issues : Interest income/expense and net gains/losses for financial instruments not measured at fair value; basis of determining fair values; details of collateral, loan defaults or breaches, details of hedges, hedging fair value changes recognised in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income;
Section 33 ‘Related Party Disclosures’ : Compensation for key management personnel.
1.3
Going concern
The company is part of an international group headed by Equiteq M&A Holdings Limited, which operates in several major global markets including UK/EU, US and Asia-Pacific. The group largely operates as one business, sharing resources and financing. If any group company suffers short term resource or cash flow shortages, that demand is met by other group companies. The directors of Equiteq M&A Holdings Limited have confirmed this support will continue. As such, the Directors going concern assessment for the company is based on the group as a whole.true
Accordingly, at the time of approving the financial statements, the Directors believe the company can meet its debts as they fall due and continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, the Directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis.
