|
Accounting policies |
Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
Statement of compliance
These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 Section 1A smaller entities - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland' and the Companies Act 2006 (as applicable to companies subject to the small companies' regime).
Basis of preparation
These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention except that as disclosed in the accounting policies certain items are shown at fair value. The functional and presentational currency is Euro (€).
Going concern
The directors have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis. In making this assessment, the directors note that the company is a holding company and is dependent on continued financial support from its shareholders and related parties. The directors have a reasonable expectation that such support will continue for the foreseeable future and, accordingly, consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis
Investments
Investments in subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less impairment. Cost represents the fair value of the consideration given to acquire the investment.
The carrying value of investments is reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
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.
Borrowings
Virtually Media Holdings Limited
Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements for the Period from 17 January 2024 to 30 June 2025
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.
Where equity instruments are issued as part of a financing arrangement, the equity component is recognised in equity in accordance with FRS 102, with any associated financial liability accounted for separately.

During the period, the company issued 92 ordinary shares of £1 each for total consideration of €205,541, comprising €107 credited to share capital and €205,434 credited to the share premium reserve.
The share premium recognised during the period arose in connection with the drawdown of funding under a loan facility agreement entered into with MVP Sports AG. In accordance with the terms of that agreement, the company is contractually required to issue shares on each utilisation of the facility. In addition, as the facility carries a below-market contractual interest rate, the loan was initially recognised at fair value, with the resulting benefit credited to equity in accordance with FRS 102.
The number of shares issued and the amounts credited to share capital and share premium are consistent with the equity calculations prepared by management and reflect the fair value of equity instruments issued during the period.

Other borrowings |

At 30 June 2025, the company had non-current loans and borrowings of €844,713.
The balance relates to a £2,000,000 committed loan facility agreement dated 19 September 2024 entered into with MVP Sports AG (the lender). Amounts drawn under the facility bear interest at a fixed contractual rate of 1% per annum and are repayable on the contractual repayment date of 17 October 2027, unless repaid or cancelled earlier in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
In accordance with the company’s accounting policies and FRS 102, the loan is initially recognised at fair value, being the present value of future cash flows discounted at an estimated market rate of interest. As the facility carries a below-market contractual interest rate, the difference between the fair value on initial recognition and the proceeds received has been recognised within equity. The loan is subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, with the unwinding of the discount recognised as a finance cost in the profit and loss account over the term of the facility.
In connection with each utilisation of the facility, the company is contractually required to issue shares in accordance with the terms of the agreement. Any such share issuances are recognised directly in equity when issued.
The directors consider that the carrying value of the loan approximates its fair value at the balance sheet date.
