Notes to the Abridged Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
Investments in associated companies are stated at cost less provisions for impairments to reflect the recoverable value of the investment. The review for impairments is carried out by the management using all currently available financial and other information. As the associated companies are not required to publish their financial data, nor are they required to have their accounts audited, the review naturally requires the management to use their own judgement to assess whether any impairment is required, based on the information available.
The management have carried out a full review as at 31 December 2025 of all investments in associated companies and have stated their estimates of the value in note 6 of the accounts.
.
Revenue recognition
The company recognises revenue when:
The amount of revenue can be reliably measured;
it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity;
and specific criteria have been met for each of the company's activities.
Foreign currency transactions and balances
Aser Investments Ltd
Notes to the Abridged Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Intangible assets
The company has acquired cryptocurrency and other digital assets. These assets are recognised as intangible assets under FRS 102 Section 18, as they are identifiable non-monetary assets without physical substance.
Recognition Criteria
The company recognises these intangible assets when all the recognition criteria under FRS 102 Section 18 for intangible assets are met, including:
- The assets are separately identifiable.
- The company has control over the cryptocurrency and digital assets, which has arisen as a result of contractual or legal rights.
-
It is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the company from these assets.
Indefinite Life Intangible Assets
The cryptocurrency and digital assets have been treated as indefinite life intangible assets. This assessment is based on the current cryptocurrency market, where there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the assets are expected to generate net cash inflows for the company. As a result, these assets are not amortised.
Measurement
The assets are measured using the cost model in accordance with FRS 102. They are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. The value of these assets is based on the cost paid to acquire them, adjusted for any impairment due to market movements or other factors.
Impairment
The company reviews the carrying amount of these intangible assets annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate a potential impairment. Any impairment losses are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Aser Investments Ltd
Notes to the Abridged Financial Statements for the Year Ended 30 June 2025
Amortisation
At each reporting end date, the company reviews the carrying amounts of its intangible 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). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset for which the estimates of future cash flows have not been adjusted.
If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) 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.
Where an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit or loss, unless the relevant asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the reversal of the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation increase.
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.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and call deposits, and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value.
Debtors
Debtors are recognised initially at the transaction price. They are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. A provision for the impairment of is established when there is objective evidence that the company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.

Creditors
Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Accounts payable are classified as current liabilities if the company does not have an unconditional right, at the end of the reporting period, to defer settlement of the creditor for at least twelve months after the reporting date. If there is an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting date, they are presented as non-current liabilities.
Creditors are recognised initially at the transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are initially recorded at fair value, net of transaction costs. Interest-bearing borrowings are subsequently carried at amortised cost, with the difference between the proceeds, net of transaction costs, and the amount due on redemption being recognised as a charge to the profit and loss account over the period of the relevant borrowing.
Interest expense is recognised on the basis of the effective interest method and is included in interest payable and similar charges.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
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.

The amounts included in Other Financial Assets have been charged as security for borrowings of a fellow group
company. At the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets subject to the fixed charge was £14,096,821.
There is also a floating charge over the assets of the company.
The non financial asset is a non-current loan receivable due from Eleven Sports Network Limited ('ESN'), a
member of the DAZN Group.
In the current financial year, a fellow Aser Group subsidiary entity sold ESN to DAZN Group Limited. On the
sale of ESN, the intercompany receivable balance was converted to a third party loan receivable. The loan was
recognised at fair value of the date of the transaction. The loan is interest bearing. The loan is interest bearing
and is due to be repaid under a free-cash flow mechanism, based on free-cash flow’s generated by the ESN, after
the repayment of certain other liabilities of ESN. It is not expected that repayments will be made to Aser
Investments within 12 months of the balance sheet under this repayment method, and therefore the receivable
has been recorded as a non-current asset.
