Neighbourly Lab is a private company limited by guarantee and is incorporated in England & Wales. The address of its registered office is 58 Victoria Embankment​, London​, EC4Y 0DS​.

The principal activity of the company during the year under review was the provision of research services and consultancy services.

The financial statements have been prepared under the historic cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Section 1A of ​Financial Reporting Standard 102 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland' (FRS 102) and the Companies Act 2006.

The Company's functional and presentational currency is the Pound Sterling.

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes.

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised in the period in which services are provided in accordance with the stage of completion of the contract when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

Tangible fixed assets are initially recognised at cost. Cost includes the purchase price and any costs 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.

Subsequently, tangible fixed assets are measured using the cost model. Under the cost model, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

All tangible fixed assets are considered to have a finite useful life.

Depreciation is calculated to allocate the depreciable amount of tangible fixed assets to their residual values over their estimated useful lives on the following basis​:

If factors such as a change in how an asset is used, technological advancement, or changes in market prices indicate that the residual value or useful life of an asset has changed since the most recent balance sheet date, the Company reviews its previous estimates and, if current expectations differ, amends the residual value, amortisation method or useful life, accounting for this as a change in an accounting estimate.

Tangible fixed assets are derecognised on disposal, with the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount recognised in profit or loss.

Assets that are subject to depreciation or amortisation are assessed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication that the assets are impaired. Where there is any indication that an asset may be impaired, the carrying value of the asset (or cash-generating unit to which the asset has been allocated) is tested for impairment. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's (or CGU's) fair value less costs to sell and value in use. For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (CGUs). Non-financial assets that have been previously impaired are reviewed at each reporting date to assess whether there is any indication that the impairment losses recognised in prior periods may no longer exist or may have decreased.

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 as accruals in the Statement of Financial Position. The assets of the scheme are held separately from the Company​​​​ in independently administered funds.

Financial assets are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and subsequently held at cost less accumulated impairment, or at amortised cost using the effective interest method in the case of debt instruments meeting the criteria for recognition as basic financial instruments.

If there is a decrease in the impairment loss arising from an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the impairment is reversed. The reversal is such that the current carrying amount does not exceed what the carrying amount would have been had the impairment not previously been recognised. The impairment reversal is recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets are derecognised when:

Basic financial liabilities, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs.

A financial liability, where the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, is initially measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument as determined at initial recognition adjusted for transaction costs.

Basic financial liabilities are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are derecognised when the liability is extinguished, either by way of the contractual obligation having been discharged, cancelled or expired.

The company is limited by guarantee and has no share capital. The liability of each member in the event of winding up is limited to £1. The company is incorporated in England & Wales, and the registered office address is noted on page 2.
