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

In accordance with Section 444 of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008, the Income Statement has not been delivered.

The financial statements were approved by the members of the LLP and authorised for issue on 22 July 2025 and were signed by:

J A Brod - Designated member

1.	STATUTORY INFORMATION

Next Wave Partners LLP is registered in England and Wales. The LLP's registered number and registered office address can be found on the General Information page.

The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£).

2.	ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparing the financial statements

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" including the provisions of Section 1A "Small Entities" and the requirements of the Statement of Recommended Practice, Accounting by Limited Liability Partnerships. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with applicable United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice), which have been applied consistently.

Going concern

Due to the ongoing support of the partnership's members, the members believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis, which assumes that the partnership will continue in operational existence for the forseeable future.

If the partnership were unable to continue in operational existence for the forseeable future, adjustments would be necessary to reduce the balance sheet value of assets to their recoverable amounts, and to provide for further liabilities that might arise, and to reclassify fixed assets and long term liabilities as current assets and liabilities.

Preparation of consolidated financial statements

The financial statements contain information about Next Wave Partners LLP as an individual LLP and do not contain consolidated financial information as the parent of a group. The LLP has taken the options under Section 398 and Section 405 of the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs by the Limited Liability Partnerships (Accounts and Audit) (Application of Companies Act 2006) Regulations 2008 not to prepare consolidated financial statements.

Subsidiaries of the LLP that are either dormant or trade exclusively with the LLP, and if consolidated would have no impact on the profit or loss or financial position of the consolidated group, are excluded under s405 on the basis that they are not material for the purpose of giving a true and fair view.

Subsidiaries of the LLP that are the general partners of investment funds, or of the limited partnerships that are the general partners, hold legal title to the investment in portfolio companies on behalf of the funds. They also trade exclusively with the LLP and are excluded under s405.

The economic interest in the funds is held by the limited partner investors, the LLP's economic interest is small and restricted to an indirect entitlement to receive a management fee from the general partner, which is itself limited to the amount of the general partner's share received from the funds. The funds are therefore not consolidated in these financial statements.

Related party exemption

The LLP has taken advantage of exemption, under the terms of Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland', not to disclose related party transactions with wholly owned subsidiaries within the group.

Turnover

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

Tangible fixed assets

Depreciation is provided at the following annual rates in order to write off each asset over its estimated useful life.

Plant and machinery etc

-

25% on cost

Investments in subsidiaries

Foreign currencies

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.

Hire purchase and leasing commitments

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

Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits

The LLP operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the LLP's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate.
