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.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been 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

Earnz Holdings Limited

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period from 25 May 2024 to 31 December 2024

Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the purchase method. The consideration for each acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values at acquisition date of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity instruments issued by the group in exchange for control of the acquired, plus any costs directly attributable to the business combination. When a business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the group includes the estimated amount of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is probable and can be measured reliably.

Investments

Investments in equity shares which are publicly traded or where the fair value can be measured reliably are initially measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss. Investments in equity shares which are not publicly traded and where fair value cannot be measured reliably are measured at cost less impairment.


Interest income on debt securities, where applicable, is recognised in income using the effective interest method. Dividends on equity securities are recognised in income when receivable.

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.

Staff numbers

The company had an average of 2 directors during the period.

The average number of persons employed by the company during the period was 0.

On 29 August 2024, the company acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Cosgrove & Drew Ltd.

Initial consideration comprised cash of £0.41m and £0.3m consideration shares in Earnz Plc. Discounted contingent consideration of up to £1.043m (£1.226m undiscounted), payable in shares in the parent company Earnz Plc, is dependent on the achievement of post-transaction earnings targets and ongoing employment of the managing directors. The amount will become payable following confirmation of exceeding an annual adjusted EBITDA of £0.5m, to 31 August each year, until the maximum consideration is reached. The fair value of the contingent consideration was estimated by calculating the present value of future expected cash flows based on a discount rate of 6.2%.
