Notes to the Financial Statements

for the Year Ended 31 December 2024

1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION

| Austar UK 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. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE

| 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 Companies Act 2006.

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES

| Basis of preparing the financial statements

| The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.

| Going Concern

| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis notwithstanding the fact that the company has a deficiency on total equity at the end of the year. The directors consider this basis to be appropriate as the company has sufficient facilities available from Austar group to fund it's working capital requirements for a period of at least twelve months from the date these financial statements were approved.

| Currently, the company is in the start-up phase, with a time-lag between winning orders, producing goods, and eventually recognising revenue. At present, the company is reliant on support from it's immediate parent company by way of a series of loans. A letter of support has also been obtained from Austar Lifesciences Limited, an intermediate parent undertaking listed on the Honk Kong Stock Exchange, confirming that it will continue to support the company for at least 12 months from the signing of the financial statements.

| Accordingly, the directors have adopted the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements.

| Turnover

| Turnover is recognised to the extent that is is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the turnover can be reliably measured. Turnover is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes, The following criteria must also be met before turnover is recognised.

| Sale of goods

| Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

| - the company has transferred the significant risks and rewards of ownership to the buyer;

| - the company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with the ownership nor effective control over the goods sold;

| - the amount of turnover can be measured reliably;

| - it is probable that the company will receive the consideration due under the transaction; and

| - the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.

| Long-term contracts

| Contracts specifically negotiated for the construction of equipment are amounted for as long-term contracts.

| When the outcome of a long-term contract can be estimated reliably, the company recognises contract revenue and contract costs associated with the long-term contract as revenue and expenses respectively by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity at the end of the reporting period.

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Long-term contracts (continued)

| Where the outcome of a long-term contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognised to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable. Contract costs are recognised as expenses in that period in which they are incurred.

| When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognised as an expense immediately.

| Tangible fixed assets

| 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 be capable of operating in the manner intended by management.

| At each reporting date the company assesses whether there is any indication of impairment. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. An impairment loss is recognised where the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount.

| Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

| Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

| Short-term leasehold property |  | Over the term of the lease |  |

| Plant and machinery |  | 18% reducing balance |  |

| FIxtures and fittings |  | 20% straight line |  |

| Computer equipment |  | 20% straight line |  |

| 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.

| Stocks

| Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, being the estimated selling price less costs to complete and sell. Cost is based on the cost of purchase on a first in, first out basis. Work in progress and finished goods include labour and attributable overheads.

| At each balance sheet date, stocks are assessed for impairment. If stock is impaired, the carrying amount is reduced to its selling price less costs to complete and sell. The impairment loss is recognised immediately in profit and loss.

| Financial instruments

| The Company only enters into basic financial instrument transactions that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade and other debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.

3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued

| Taxation

| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Statement of Income and Retained Earnings, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.

| 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.

| 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 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. 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.

| Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of transactions and from the translation at period-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss except when deferred in other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

| Foreign exchange gains and losses that relate to borrowings and cash and cash equivalents are presented in the profit and loss account within 'finance income or costs'. All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in profit or loss within 'other operating income'.

| Pensions

| Defined contribution 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 balance sheet. The assets of the plan are held separately from the company in independently administered funds.

| Finance costs

| 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.

| Debtors

| Short term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment.

| 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.

| Creditors

| Short term creditors are measured at the transaction price.

4. | EMPLOYEES AND DIRECTORS
