1.	General information

Merit Design and Build Limited ("the company") is a private company limited by shares, incorporated in the United Kingdom and registered in England and Wales. The address of its registered office is given in the company information page of the financial statements.

2.Accounting policies

2.1

Basis of preparation of financial statements

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention unless otherwise specified within these accounting policies and in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102, the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland and the requirements and the Companies Act 2006'. 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 following principal accounting policies have been applied:

2.2

Going concern

The directors have undertaken detailed financial forecasts and scenario modelling, applying sensitivities to key variables. These scenarios have been considered in the determination of accounting estimates, including expected costs to complete an assessment of contract profitability for a period of more than 12 months following the approval of these financial statements. The directors have also considered the significant pipeline of opportunity at the time of signing the financial statements and risk of downside scenarios.
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the company has adequate financial and other resources to continue in the operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they have prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

2.3

Revenue

Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured as the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, excluding discounts, rebates, value added tax and other sales taxes. The following criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Revenue from the licensing of intellectual property (“IP”) to group undertakings is recognised in accordance with FRS 102 Section 23.
Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable, taking into account the Group’s transfer pricing policies to ensure the transaction is at arm’s length.
Revenue is recognised at the point in time when the licence is made available to the licencee, where the licence conveys to the licensee a right to use IP as it exists at the date the licence is granted and where the company has no ongoing obligations to maintain, update or enhance the IP.

2.Accounting policies (continued)

2.4

Intangible assets

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. After recognition, under the revaluation model, intangible assets shall be carried at a revalued amount, being its fair value at the date of revaluation less any subsequent accumulated amortisation and subsequent impairment losses - provided that the fair value can be determined by reference to an active market.
Revaluations are made with sufficient regularity to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ materially from that which would be determined using fair value at the end of the balance sheet date.

All intangible assets are considered to have a finite useful life. If a reliable estimate of the useful life cannot be made, the useful life shall not exceed ten years.

2.5

Tangible fixed assets

Tangible fixed assets under the cost model are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Historical cost includes expenditure that is 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.

Depreciation is charged so as to allocate the cost of assets less their residual value over their estimated useful lives.

Depreciation is provided on the following basis:

Plant and machinery

10%

straight line

The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted prospectively if appropriate, or if there is an indication of a significant change since the last reporting date.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing the proceeds with the carrying amount and are recognised in profit or loss.

2.6

Debtors

Short-term debtors are measured at transaction price, less any impairment. Loans receivable are measured initially at fair value, net of transaction costs, and are measured subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment.
Intercompany receivables are recognised initially at transaction price and subsequenty measured at amortised cost less impairment. At each reporting date, the company assesses the recoverability of intercompany balances by considering the financial position of the counterpart, including its net asset position. profitability and cash flow forecasts, alongside the nature of the balance and historical repayment patterns. Consideration is also given to the Group's intention and ability to provide ongoing financial support, particularly where the counterparty is a strategically important subsidiary.
Impairment is recognised where there is objective evidence that the intercompany balance will not be recovered in full. The impairment loss is measured as the difference between the carrying value and the present value of estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate where applicable. For balances that are, in substance, long-term funding or part of the net investment in a subsidiary, recoverability is assessed with the reference to the underlying value and cash-generating ability of the entity. Where there is no reasonable expectation of recovery, balances are written off in the profit and loss account.
