| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE PERIOD 1 MARCH 2023 TO 31 DECEMBER 2023 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Immotion VR Limited is a |
| The principal activity of the company in the year under review was the operation of virtual reality experiences at its own Immotion VR locations and at partner sites. |
| In the prior year, ImmotionVR Limited shortened its accounting period date to 28 February 2023. This change was made to align the financial reporting period with the completion of the sale of the business, which occurred in early 2023. The shortened period allows for a clear and accurate reflection of the company’s financial performance up to the point of disposal, and ensures consistency in reporting during the transition. The comparative figures therefore are to the two months to 28 February 2023, and the current figures for the 10 months to 31 December 2023. |
| 2. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The preparation of financial statements in compliance with FRS 102 requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also required management to exercise judgement in applying the company's accounts policies (see note below). |
| Change in accounting policy |
| In the prior period, Immotion Studios Limited changed its accounting framework from FRS 101 (Reduced Disclosures Framework) to FRS 102 Section 1A (Small Entities). This change reflects a strategic decision to adopt a reporting framework more aligned with the company's size and operational requirements. The transition did not result in any changes to the recognition or measurement of assets, liabilities, income or expenses and affects only the presentation and disclosure of the financial statements. |
| Going concern |
| Accounting standards require the directors to consider the appropriateness of the going concern basis when preparing financial statements. The directors confirm that they consider the going concern basis remains appropriate. The directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources and support from its parent company to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements. |
| Foreign currency translation |
| Functional and presentation currency |
| The Company's functional and presentational currency is GBP. |
| Transactions and balances |
| Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. |
| At each period end foreign currency monetary items are translated using the closing rate. Nonmonetary items measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and non-monetary items measured at fair value are measured using the exchange rate when fair value was determined. |

| Intangible assets other than goodwill |
| Amortisation is recognised so as to write off the costs or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives on the following bases: |
| Domain names 33% straight line |
| Website 33% straight line |
| Software development 33% straight line |
| Tangible fixed assets |
| Land and buildings | - |
| Plant and machinery etc | - |
| Financial instruments |
| The entity has elected to apply the provisions of Section 11 "Basic Financial Instruments" of FRS 102 to all of its financial instruments. |
| Financial instruments are recognised in the entities' Balance Sheet when the Group 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. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The Company operates a defined contribution plan for its employees. A defined contribution plan is a |
| pension plan under which the Company pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. Once the contributions have been paid the Company has no further payment obligations. The contributions are recognised as an expense in profit or loss when they fall due. Amounts not paid are shown in accruals as a liability in the Balance Sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds. |

| Turnover |
| Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. |
| The company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence the company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money. |
| Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. |
| For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided because the customer receives and uses the benefits simultaneously. |
| Revenue from services rendered in ImmotionVR locations are recognised on the date which the sale to the customer takes place. |
| Partnership revenue is recognised on the date which the sale to the customer takes place. Immotion VR Limited acts as the principal in the transaction and therefore recognises the revenue charged to the end user in full with the partners' shares deducted as a cost of sale. |
| Cash and cash equivalents |
| Cash is represented by cash in hand and deposits with financial institutions repayable without penalty on notice of not more than 24 hours. Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of change in value. |
| Foreign exchange |
| Transactions in currencies other than pounds sterling are recorded at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At each reporting end date, monetary assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing on the reporting end date. Gains and losses arising on translation in the period are included in profit or loss. |
| Finance costs |
| Finance costs are charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the term of the debt using the effective interest method so that the amount charged is at a constant rate on the carrying amount. Issue costs are initially recognised as a reduction in the proceeds of the associated capital instrument. |
| Debtors |
| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment. |
| Creditors |
| Creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business, from suppliers. |
| Creditors are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method. |
| Critical accounting estimates and judgements |
| In the application of the company's accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. |
| The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods. |
| The estimates and assumptions which have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets and liabilities are outlined below. |

| Critical judgements |
| Depreciation |
| The useful economic lives of tangible fixed assets are based on management's judgement and experience. When management identifies that actual useful economic lives differ materially from the estimates used to calculate depreciation, that charge is adjusted retrospectively. Due to the significance of tangibles fixed assets to the company, variances between actual and estimated useful economic lives could impact in the operating results both positively and negatively, although historically few changes to estimated useful economic lives have been required. |
| Amortisation of intangible assets |
| The periods of amortisation adopted to write down capitalised intangibles and capitalised staff costs require judgements to be made in respect of estimating the useful economic lives of the tangible assets to determine an appropriate amortisation rate. |
| Intangible assets are amortised on a straight line basis over the period during which economic benefits are expected to be received. |
