Trade and other debtors / creditors
Trade and other debtors are recognised initially at transaction prices less attributable transaction costs. Trade and other creditors are recognised initially at transaction price plus attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses in the case of trade debtors. If the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, for example if payment is deferred beyond normal business terms, then it is measured at the present value of future payments discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets that are measured at cost and amortised cost are assessed at the end of each reporting period for objective evidence of impairment. If objective evidence of impairment is found an impairment loss is recognised within profit or loss.
For financial assets that are measured at amortised cost, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated cash flows discounted at the asset’s original effective interest rate.
For financial assets measured at cost less impairment, the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the best estimate of the amount that the company would receive for the asset if it were to be sold at the balance sheet date.
Financial instruments and financial risk management
The company’s financial instruments comprise cash at bank, trade and other debtors and trade and other creditors arising directly from its operations. The company is exposed to the following financial risks:
Credit risk – This primarily arises from amounts receivable from Roblox Corporation following approved Developer Exchange (DevEx) transactions. The Company also has limited exposure to credit risk from other counterparties in respect of brand partnerships and platform income.
Liquidity risk – The company monitors cash flow forecasts closely. The company is funded by retained profits and a loan from the director which is repayable on demand.
Foreign currency risk - The company is exposed to foreign currency risk in respect of transactions denominated in currencies other than it's functional currency (GBP). Such transactions are monitored by management and exchange differences are recognised in profit or loss as they arise. The company does not currently use forward contracts or other derivative instruments to manage this risk.
Interest risk - The company holds cash balances which earn interest at variable rates. Changes in market interest rates may impact the level of interest income received on these balances. The director monitosr cash balances and interest rates periodically and consider the company’s exposure to interest rate risk to be manageable.
The Company considers these risks to be low due to the nature of the counterparties and settlement terms.
