The notes on pages 2 to 8 form part of these financial statements.

The directors of the company have elected not to include a copy of the profit and loss account within the financial statements.true

These financial statements have been prepared and delivered in accordance with the provisions applicable to companies subject to the small companies regime.

Agfa IJC Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 515 Coldhams Lane, Cambridge, CB1 3JS.

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.

At the balance sheet date, the company reported negative profit and loss reserves of £1,270,684 but maintained a positive total equity balance of £2,729,316. The company operates under a joint commercialisation agreement with its parent company and primarily acts as a vehicle to facilitate the terms of that agreement.true

The ultimate parent company has formally confirmed its intention to continue providing financial support to the company for the foreseeable future. In light of this support, and having considered the company’s current financial position and projected cash flows, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company will have adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least 12 months from the date of approval of the financial statements.

Accordingly, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing these financial statements.

The Company’s turnover comprises amounts arising from the sale of goods and services under contractual arrangements with customers. Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of value added tax, rebates, discounts, and returns.

The Company enters into long-term contracts with customers for the manufacture and supply of products. Turnover is recognised upon delivery to the customer in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Any amounts invoiced or received from customers prior to the delivery of goods are not recognised as turnover. Such amounts are recorded as deferred income in the statement of financial position and are recognised as turnover only upon delivery of the goods to the customer.

Where turnover is earned but not yet invoiced or received, such amounts are recognised as accrued income in the statement of financial position at the reporting date.

Turnover from services is recognised as turnover when the conditions in the contract for services have been satisfied and no further obligations remain. Service turnover billed, or collected, but unearned is included on the balance sheet as deferred income.

Tangible fixed assets are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost or valuation, net of depreciation and any impairment losses.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases:

The gain or loss arising on the disposal of an asset is determined as the difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the asset, and is credited or charged to profit or loss.

At each reporting period end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any).

Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease.

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Provision is made for any foreseeable losses where appropriate and no element of profit is included. Cost is based on the purchase price.

At each reporting date, an assessment is made for impairment. Any excess of the carrying amount of stocks over its estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell is recognised as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Reversals of impairment losses are also recognised in profit or loss.

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks.

The company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 ‘Basic Financial Instruments’ and Section 12 ‘Other Financial Instruments Issues’ of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments.

Financial instruments are recognised in the company's balance sheet when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and liabilities are offset, with the net amounts presented in the financial statements, when there is a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.

Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.

Basic financial liabilities, including creditors and loans from fellow group companies, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.

Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.

The 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 net profit as reported in the profit and loss account because it excludes items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and it further excludes 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 reporting end date.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all timing differences and deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. Such assets and liabilities are not recognised if the timing difference arises from goodwill or from the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the tax profit nor the accounting profit.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.

The costs of short-term employee benefits are recognised as a liability and an expense. The cost of any unused holiday entitlement is recognised in the period in which the employee’s services are received.

Termination benefits are recognised immediately as an expense when the company is demonstrably committed to terminate the employment of an employee or to provide termination benefits.

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit schemes are charged as an expense as they fall due.

Rentals payable under operating leases, including any lease incentives received, are charged to profit or loss on a straight line basis over the term of the relevant lease except where another more systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leases asset are consumed.

The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:

As the income statement has been omitted from the filing copy of the financial statements, the following information in relation to the audit report on the statutory financial statements is provided in accordance with s444(5B) of the Companies Act 2006:

The auditor's report was qualified and the auditor reported as follows:

Qualified opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Agfa IJC Limited (the 'company') for the year ended 31 March 2024 which comprise , the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements, including significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).

In our opinion, except for the possible effects of the matter described in the Basis for Qualified Opinion paragraph, the financial statements:

• give a true and fair view of the state of the company's affairs as at 31 March 2024 and of its loss for the year then ended;

• have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and

• have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006.

Basis for qualified opinion

We were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the valuation of stock as at both 31 March 2024 and 31 March 2023, which is stated in the balance sheet at £1,249,393 (2023: £751,693). The company valued stock using a standard costing system. However, due to limitations in the company’s records arising from updates to standard costs not being made regularly, we were unable to assess whether the standard costs used were a reasonable approximation of actual costs over the financial year, despite performing alternative procedures.

In addition to the above, the company had intended to change its financial year end to align with its group undertaking, which has subsequently not been possible for this financial year. As this was the intention, we did not observe the counting of physical stock at the year end of 31 March 2024. We were unable to satisfy ourselves by alternative means concerning the inventory quantities held at 31 March 2024, which are included in the statement of financial position at £1,249,393, by using other audit procedures. Consequently we were unable to determine whether any adjustment to this amount was necessary, which would also impact cost of sales.

Accordingly, we were unable to determine whether any adjustments might be necessary to the stock balance, cost of sales, or related disclosures in the financial statements. As a result, we were unable to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence concerning this matter.

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our qualified opinion.

In accordance with paragraph 33.1A of FRS 102 the company has claimed exemption from disclosing transactions and balances with fellow group companies.

The ultimate parent undertaking is Agfa Gevaert NV, a company incorporated in Belgium. Copies of the group financial statements for Agfa Gevaert NV are available from the registered office.
