Notes to the Financial Statements
1. General Information
Ion Beam Services U.K. Limited is a private company, limited by shares, incorporated in Scotland, registered number SC180205 . The registered office is 50 Lothian Road, Festival Square, Edinburgh, EH3 9WJ.
2. Accounting Policies
2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention.
In adopting the going concern basis for preparing the financial statements, the directors have considered the issues impacting the company during the period. The directors have also reviewed the impact of trading conditions since the year end. The company had net current liabilities of £2,245,170 as at 31 December 2025 and net liabilities of £1,841,540. Throughout the year, and since the year end the company has continued to meet its current liabilities as they fall due whilst operating within the facilities agreed with its bank. Based on the cash flow forecasts and operating budgets, and assuming current levels of trade are maintained, the directors believe that the company will generate sufficient cash to continue to meet its requirements for at least the next 12 months, whilst working within agreed bank facilities. The company's bankers and parent undertaking have continued to support the company since the year end and indications are that this support will continue. Accordingly, the directors believe that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis. No adjustment has been made should this support be withdrawn and the company be unable to replace the facilities.
2.2. Turnover
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, net of discounts and value added taxes. 
The accounting policy for recognising turnover is to recognise 90% of the contract value when the customer agrees that the goods are complete and ready to be delivered. The remaining 10% of the contract balance is recognised once the goods are delivered and installed to the customer.
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.
2.3. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation
Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
Freehold 2% straight line
Plant & Machinery 20% straight line
Fixtures & Fittings 20% straight line
Computer Equipment 33% straight line
2.4. Leasing and Hire Purchase Contracts
Assets obtained under finance leases are capitalised as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired under hire purchase contracts are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in the creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the profit and loss account so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each period.
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the profit and loss account as incurred.
2.5. Stocks and Work in Progress
Stock and work in progress are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Stock is valued after making due allowance for obsolete stock and slow moving  items.
Work in progress is reflected in the accounts on a contract by contract basis. Work in progress includes the relevant amount of income attributable to the contract less raw materials, labour, other direct costs and the absorption of an appropriate proportion of production overheads based on normal production capacity. The effect of the change in accounting policy on 2025 to absorb overheads in to work in progress was to reduce the loss for the year by £960,106 and increase work in progress by the same amount.

2.6. Financial Instruments
Basic financial instruments are initially recognised at transaction price, including transaction costs, and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, where applicable. These can include trade and other debtors, cash and bank balances, trade and other creditors, and intercompany balances. Financial assets are assessed at the end of each reporting period for evidence of impairment and adjusted if necessary. The company does not hold or issue any complex financial instruments such as derivatives.
2.7. Foreign Currencies
Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating profit.
2.8. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The company's liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.
Deferred tax is recognised on timing differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable timing differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible timing differences can be utilised. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period 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 assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Deferred tax liabilities are presented within provisions for liabilities and deferred tax assets within debtors. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
Current and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss for the year, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case current and deferred tax are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
