NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
Facctum Solutions Limited 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.
2.Accounting policies
|
|
|
Basis of preparation of financial statements
|
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with FRS 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006. 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 following principal accounting policies have been applied:
|
|
|
Exemption from preparing consolidated financial statements
|
The Company, and the Group headed by it, qualify as small as set out in section 383 of the Companies Act 2006 and the parent and Group are considered eligible for the exemption to prepare consolidated accounts.
The Company has successfully transitioned from its product development phase to full commercial operations, with multiple live products generating recurring revenues and a well-established customer base across major financial institutions. Management’s financial forecasts and cash flow projections indicate that the Company is expected to generate sufficient revenues and maintain adequate liquidity to meet its operational and financial obligations as they fall due.
The Directors have also considered the current funding position and believe that existing resources, together with investor commitment, provide an adequate liquidity buffer to support operations over the assessment period.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which the Directors consider to be appropriate. Based on the detailed financial forecasts and funding outlook, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Although the directors have received assurances from investors regarding their intention to continue funding the business, there is currently no legally binding agreement in place. As a result, a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, if such funds are requested to be returned.

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. Non-monetary 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.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
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 generated through technical consulting in the technological space and is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.
Rendering of services
Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which the services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:
∙the amount of revenue can be measured reliably;
∙it is probable that the Company will receive the consideration due under the contract;
∙the stage of completion of the contract at the end of the reporting period can be measured reliably; and
∙the costs incurred and the costs to complete the contract can be measured reliably.
In the research phase of an internal project it is not possible to demonstrate that the project will generate future economic benefits and hence all expenditure on research shall be recognised as an expense when it is incurred. Intangible assets are recognised from the development phase of a project if and only if certain specific criteria are met in order to demonstrate the asset will generate probable future economic benefits and that its cost can be reliably measured. The capitalised development costs are subsequently amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful economic lives, which range from 3 to 6 years.
If it is not possible to distinguish between the research phase and the development phase of an internal project, the expenditure is treated as if it were all incurred in the research phase only.
Interest income is recognised in profit or loss using the effective interest method.
Finance costs are charged to profit or loss 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.
Defined contribution pension plan
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 Statement of financial position. The assets of the plan are held separately from the Company in independently administered funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
2.Accounting policies (continued)
Tax is recognised in profit or loss except that a charge attributable to an item of income and expense recognised as other comprehensive income or to an item recognised directly in equity is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the Company operates and generates income.
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses.
All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life of 4 years. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.
Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.
Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives, using the straight-line method.
Depreciation is provided on the following basis:
The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.
Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.
Investments in subsidiaries are measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
|
|
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the year was 6 (2023 - 4).

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
Prior year adjustments have been made to correct a number of prior year comparative numbers.
The first adjustment relates to the cut-off of revenues. An amount of £33,395 had been earned in the 2023 financial year, but had been recognised in 2024. Therefore, 2023 revenues and accrued revenues have increased by £33,395.
The second adjustment relates to the cross-charging of time spent by a company in the 100%-owned group on the maintenance and development of the intangible assets. An opening balance adjustment of £24,965 has been made to opening retained earnings and administrative expenses, being a cost relating the the 2022 financial year, which had not been expensed until the 2023 financial year. A similar adjustment has been made to the 2023 comparatives, the third adjustment, to reflect work carried out in September 2023, but originally charged in October 2023. This has led to an increase in 2023 of intangible assets of £176,225, an increase in cost of sales of £16,136, and increase in administrative expenses of £61,267, and an increase in accruals of £253,628.
The fourth adjustment relates to RDEC R&D income relating to development expenditure in the year. £307,921 has been reclassified from the corporation tax charge line to other income in the statement of income and retained earnings.
The fifth adjustment relates to recognising the R&D income related to the 2022 financial year in the 2023 financial year, when the claim was made, and therefore the amount could be accurately obtained. The adjustment reflects the actual amount received from the tax authority of £160,626.
The sixth adjustment relates to the promissory notes payable as at the end of the 2022 financial year. The notes are balances held in dollars, and should have been restated at the financial year end, with the foreign exchange difference being recognised in the profit and loss. The seventh and final adjustment is the same such adjustment for the 2023 financial year end.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
The auditor's report on the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2024 was unqualified.
|
|
In their report, the auditor drew attention to the material uncertainty related to going concern, as disclosed in note 2.3, which indicates that the Company incurred a net loss of £1,877,946 during the year ended 30 September 2024 and, as of that date, the Company's current liabilities exceeded its total assets by £4,094,535. There is no legally binding agreement in place with the investor and holder of the promissory notes totalling £7,252,771, meaning such funds could be requested to be returned. As stated in note 2.3, these events or conditions, along with the other matters as set forth in note 2.3, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The auditor disclosed in other matters that the comparative numbers were unaudited.
|
The audit report was signed on 4 November 2025 by Nimita Chan FCCA (Senior statutory auditor) on behalf of Menzies LLP.
