| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| ASP PC II UK Facilitation Ltd is a private company, limited by shares, registered in England and Wales. The Company's registered number and registered office address can be found on the Company Information page. |
| The Company's functional and presentational currency is US Dollars (USD) and the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest $. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| Comparative numbers are for the period 17 January 2023 to 31 December 2023. |
| Disclosure exemptions |
| The Company is entitled to exemption from the requirement to prepare a cash flow statement under section 1a of FRS 102 as it is a small Company. Accordingly, a cashflow has not been presented as part of these financial statements. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover comprises of interest receivable arising from debt instruments, the interest is recognised for the period to which it relates. |
| Financial instruments |
| The Company has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 'Basic Financial Instruments' and Section 12 'Other Financial Instruments Issues' of FRS102 to all of its financial instruments. |
| Financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price. Such assets are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method less impairment. |
| 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. |
| Classification of financial liabilities |
| Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. |
| Basic financial liabilities |
| Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, and loans from fellow group companies are initially recognised at transaction price and are subsequently held at amortized cost. |
| Other financial liabilities |
| Derivatives, including forward exchange contracts, are not basic financial instruments. Derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently measured at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are recognised in the profit and loss in finance income costs or income as appropriate. The Company does not currently apply hedge accounting for foreign exchange derivatives. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the profit and loss account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. The Company has used a tax rate of 19%. |
| Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted. |
| Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. |

| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued |
| Deferred tax |
| Deferred tax is recognised in respect of all timing differences that have originated but not reversed at the balance sheet date. |
| Timing differences arise from the inclusion of income and expenses in tax assessments in periods different from those in which they are recognised in financial statements. Deferred tax is measured using tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the year end and that are expected to apply to the reversal of the timing difference. |
| Unrelieved tax losses and other deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that they will be recovered against the reversal of deferred tax liabilities or other future taxable profits. |
| Foreign currencies |
| Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into dollars at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result. |
| Going concern |
| The directors have evaluated the Company's liquidity for the upcoming 12 months, taking into account the maturity of long-term liabilities and recurring expenses. Following this assessment, they have concluded that the Company will have sufficient resources to continue operations for the next 12 months. The maturity for the long term liability is in 5 years and coincides with long term financial assets thus net liability position does not have an impact in the next 12 months. |
| 3. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS |

| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - continued |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2024 |
| Financial instruments risk management |
| The Company’s financial instruments comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, and trade and other payables. The main risks arising from the company’s financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk, and market risk. The directors review and agree policies for managing each of these risks as summarised below. |
| Credit Risk |
| Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Company’s receivables. The Company mitigates credit risk by investing only in instruments with approved counterparties with appropriate credit quality. Counterparty exposure is regularly monitored. Debtor balances and investment performance are reviewed on a regular basis, and any indications of impairment are addressed in accordance with FRS 102. |
| Liquidity risk |
| Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's position. Liquidity risk is managed by maintaining adequate cash reserves and monitoring expected cash flows. |
| Market Risk |
| Market risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market prices. The Company's market risk arises from open positions in interest bearing assets and liabilities, to the extent that these are exposed to general and specific market movements.The Company enters into forward contracts in USD, SEK and EUR to manage foreign exchange exposure. The Company is exposed to interest rate risk through debt instruments linked to disclosed reference rates. Exposure is mitigated by holding instruments with varying maturities and spreads. |
