The notes on pages 2 to 6 form part of these financial statements.
9Y Funding 1 Limited is a private company limited by shares incorporated in England and Wales. The registered office is 5 Create Business Hub, Rayleigh Road, Hutton, Brentwood, Essex, CM13 1AB.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the company. Monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
The company has net liabilities as at 31 December 2025 of £147,276. The company's liabilities include borrowings from group companies of £10,100,077 as set out in note 5. The company has received assurances that it will continue to receive financial support from other group companies and that repayment of group borrowings will not be demanded unless the company has the financial ability to make repayment of these loans, without impacting on its ability to meet its other liabilities as they fall due. The directors have prepared forecasts taking account of reasonable possible changes in trading performance. These forecasts, together with the support of other group companies, show that the company will have sufficient financial resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future.
At the time of approving the financial statements, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus the directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
Basic financial assets, which include debtors and cash and bank balances, are initially measured at transaction price including transaction costs and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method 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. Financial assets classified as receivable within one year are not amortised.
Financial liabilities and equity instruments are classified according to the substance of the contractual arrangements entered into. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the company after deducting all of its liabilities.
Basic financial liabilities, including creditors, bank loans, loans from fellow group companies and preference shares that are classified as debt, are initially recognised at transaction price unless the arrangement constitutes a financing transaction, where the debt instrument is measured at the present value of the future payments discounted at a market rate of interest. Financial liabilities classified as payable within one year are not amortised.
Debt instruments are subsequently carried at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
Trade creditors are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. Amounts payable are classified as current liabilities if payment is due within one year or less. If not, they are presented as non-current liabilities. Trade creditors are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Equity instruments issued by the company are recorded at the proceeds received, net of transaction costs. Dividends payable on equity instruments are recognised as liabilities once they are no longer at the discretion of the company.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting end date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the liability is settled or the asset is realised. Deferred tax is charged or credited in the profit and loss account, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is also dealt with in equity. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the company has a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to taxes levied by the same tax authority.
In the application of the company’s accounting policies, the directors are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amount of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised where the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods where the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following judgements have had the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements.
When assessing the potential for any impairment of a customer loan, management considers factors that include the current credit rating of the borrower, previous activity and any other historical factors that could be relevant.
The average monthly number of persons (including directors) employed by the company during the year was:
Included within other creditors are borrowings amounting to £15,635,026 (2024 - £11,959,400) which are secured by a combination of fixed and floating charges. The fixed charge covers the company’s present and future property, equipment, intellectual property, receivables, bank accounts, goodwill, and certain other tangible and intangible assets.
A floating charge applies to all other assets of the company, including its parent, and any assets located in Scotland. The facility agreement also includes a negative pledge, which restricts the company from creating further security without the lender’s prior consent
The following are the major deferred tax liabilities and assets recognised by the company and movements thereon:
The directors have considered the likelihood of the company producing future trading profits which will enable it to relieve the tax losses which have accumulated in the short term. The company has recognised a deferred tax asset in relation to unrelieved tax losses of approximately £137,000 (2024 - £180,000) which are available to be offset against future trading profits.
