| NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS |
| FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2026 |
| 1. | STATUTORY INFORMATION |
| Stl Tech Limited is a |
| The presentation currency of the financial statements is the Pound Sterling (£). |
| 2. | STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE |
| 3. | ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| Basis of preparing the financial statements |
| The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. At the balance sheet date, the company’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by £182,468 and the company reported a loss for the financial year ended 31 March 2026. |
| In assessing the appropriateness of the going concern basis, the directors have considered the company’s forecasts, anticipated future trading performance and available financial resources. The company continues to be supported by funding provided by its director and, based on current circumstances, the directors consider it unlikely that repayment of amounts owed to the director will be required in the short term. |
| On this basis, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis. |
| Turnover |
| Turnover relates to the sale of pre-production equipment for the purpose of further development and testing. Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. Turnover includes revenue earned from the sale of goods and from the rendering of services. Turnover is reduced for estimated customer returns, rebates and other similar allowances. |
| Sale of goods |
| Turnover from the sale of goods is recognised when the significant risks and rewards of ownership |
| of the goods has transferred to the buyer. This is usually at the point that the customer has signed |
| for the delivery of the goods. |
| Rendering of services |
| Turnover from the rendering of services is recognised by reference to the stage of completion of |
| the contract. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by comparing the costs incurred |
| for work performed to date to the total estimated contract costs. Turnover is only recognised to |
| the extent of recoverable expenses when the outcome of a contract cannot be estimated reliably. |
| Intangible assets |
| Intangible assets are initially measured at cost. After initial recognition, intangible assets are measured at cost less any accumulated amortisation and any accumulated losses. |
| Development costs are being amortised evenly over their estimated useful life of 20 years. |

| Tangible fixed assets |
| Plant and machinery | - |
| Computer equipment | - |
| Financial instruments |
| Basic financial assets and basic financial liabilities as defined under section 11 of FRS 102, including trade and other debtors, trade and other creditors, cash and bank balances and investments in commercial paper, are initially recognised at transaction price, unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the transaction is measured at the present value of the future receipts discounted at a market rate of interest. |
| Taxation |
| Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and loss account, 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. |
| Research and development |
| Expenditure on research is written off in the year it is incurred. Costs on development of new |
| products for commercial resale is capitalised and amortised over the usual life of the product from |
| when the products are brought into use. |
| Pension costs and other post-retirement benefits |
| The company operates a defined contribution pension scheme. Contributions payable to the company's pension scheme are charged to profit or loss in the period to which they relate. |

| Government grants |
| Government grants are recognised at the fair value of the asset received or receivable when there is reasonable assurance that the company will comply with the conditions attaching to them and the grants will be received using the performance model. |
| The grant will therefore be recognised in other income when the grant proceeds are received or receivable provided the terms of the grant do not impose future performance related conditions. |
| If the terms of the grant do impose future performance related conditions, the grant is only recognised in income when the performance related conditions are met. |
| Any grants that are received before the recognition criteria is met are recognised in the entity's financial statements as a liability. |
| Investments |
| Shares in unlisted companies are recorded at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Unlisted investments are reviewed at each reporting date for signs of impairment. Losses arising from impairment are recorded in the profit and loss in the year in which the impairment is believed to have arisen. |

| 16. | JUDGEMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
| Judgements in Applying Accounting Policies |
| In preparing these financial statements, the directors have made judgements in the application of accounting policies that have a significant effect on the amounts recognised: |
| Capitalisation of development expenditure |
| The directors have judged that the development projects meet the criteria for recognition as intangible assets under FRS 102. This assessment includes consideration of the technical feasibility of the projects, the availability of resources to complete them and the expectation that the assets will generate future economic benefits. |
| Revenue recognition |
| Judgement is required in determining the stage of completion of service-related contracts where revenue is recognised by reference to costs incurred compared with total estimated costs. This involves an assessment of expected total project costs and the recoverability of the contract value. |
| KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY |
| The financial statements contain estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities. The key sources of estimation uncertainty that present a significant risk of material adjustment within the next financial year are: |
| Carrying value of development assets |
| The development costs capitalised within intangible assets are assessed for indicators of impairment. The recoverability of these assets is dependent on the future commercial performance of the associated products. Management’s assessment involves estimates of future demand, technical progress and expected cash flows. No impairment was identified. |
| Deferred tax liability |
| The deferred tax liability arises mainly from temporary differences relating to capitalised development costs. The calculation requires estimation of the timing and future tax effects of the reversal of these differences. Changes in tax rates or expected utilisation may result in material adjustments. |
| 17. | DETAILED TAX NOTE |
| Taxation credit consisted of £25,424 movement of deferred tax and a payable tax credit relating to research and development of £154,898. |
