Notes to the Financial Statements
For The Year Ended 30 April 2025
Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Blackdown Resources (UK) Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 08582203 . The registered office is 25 St Thomas Street, Winchester, Hampshire, SO23 9HJ.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The accounts are prepared in US$ which is the functional currency of Blackdown Resources (UK) Limited (the 'Company'). The accounts have been prepared under the historieal cost convention and in accordance with FRS 102, The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of lreland (as applied to small entities by section 1A of the standard). 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 principal accounting policies adopted are set out below.
2.2. Going Concern Disclosure
The directors have prepared these financial statements on a going concern basis, which assumes that the company will continue to operate for the foreseeable future. The company continues to progress the sale of its Nickel deposit in Tanzania, which is expected to generate sufficient cash proceeds to settle amounts owed to preference shareholders and provide a small dividend to ordinary shareholders. The successful completion of this sale is critical to the company’s ability to meet its financial obligations and continue as a going concern.
While the directors are confident that the sale of the Nickel deposit will be successfully completed, there is inherent uncertainty associated with the transaction. This uncertainty gives rise to a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The directors have considered the company's cash flow forecasts and have taken into account the anticipated timing and proceeds of the sale. They are satisfied that, based on these forecasts and the ongoing progress of the sale process, the company will have adequate resources to meet its obligations as they fall due for at least 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements.
Accordingly, the financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. However, as noted above, the successful completion of the sale is not guaranteed, and failure to complete the transaction could impact the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
2.3. Foreign Currencies
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. Dollars and recorded at the rate of exchange ruling at the date of the transaction. Balances at the year-end denominated in foreign currency are translated into U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. All differences are taken to the income statement.
2.4. lnvestments
lnvestments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Listed investments are measured at fair value. Unlisted investments are measured at fair value unless the value cannot be measured reliably, in which case they are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Changes in fair value are included in the profit and loss accounts.
2.5. Debtors
Short term debtors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price), less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts. Loans and other financial assets are initially recognised at transaction price including any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses for bad and doubtful debts.
2.6. Creditors
Short term creditors are measured at transaction price (which is usually the invoice price). Loans and other financial liabilities are initially recognised at transaction price net of any transaction costs and subsequently measured at amortised cost determined using the effective interest method.
3. Average Number of Employees
Average number of employees, including directors, during the year was: 2 (2024: 2)
