PL1 3GW

Accounting policies

Summary of significant accounting policies and key accounting estimates

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented.

Statement of compliance

These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Financial Reporting Standard 102 - 'The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland' including Section 1A and the Companies Act 2006. There were no material departures from FRS 102 Section 1A.

Basis of preparation

These financial statements have been prepared using the historical cost convention.

The presentational currency of Certa360 Limited is considered to be pounds sterling because this is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the company operates.

Going concern

The company’s primary activity is the development of a cloud based competence management software. The software is now live and the product is generating an encouraging income stream in this company's wholly owned subsidiary. Whilst initial operational losses were incurred during the development phase, returns are beginning to be earned.

As a result of the initial operational losses, the company remains reliant upon the financial support of companies under control of one of its directors. Although no formal guarantees or arrangements are in place, there are no indications that support currently provided will be withdrawn within 12 months of the approval of these financial statements. Consequently, the directors consider it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.

Notes to the Unaudited Financial Statements

Year Ended 31 May 2025

Revenue recognition

Turnover represents amounts chargeable, net of value added tax, in respect of the sale of goods and services to customers.

Tax

Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except that a change attributable to an item of income or expense recognised as other comprehensive income is also recognised directly in other comprehensive
income.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates
and generates taxable income.

Deferred tax is recognised on all timing differences at the balance sheet date unless indicated below.
Timing differences are differences between taxable profits and the results as stated in the profit and
loss account and other comprehensive income. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates and laws
that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and a valuation
allowance is set up against deferred tax assets so that the net carrying amount equals the highest
amount that is more likely than not to be recovered based on current or future taxable profit.

The current corporation tax charge is calculated on the basis of tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date in the countries where the company operates and generates taxable income.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are stated in the balance sheet at cost, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and subsequent accumulated impairment losses.

The cost of tangible assets includes directly attributable incremental costs incurred in their acquisition and installation.

Depreciation

Depreciation is charged so as to write off the cost of assets, other than land and properties under construction over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

Asset class

Depreciation method and rate

Office equipment

25% straight line

Development costs

Development expenditure incurred on an individual project is carried forward when its future recoverability can reasonably be regarded as assured. Any expenditure carried forward is amortised in line with expected future sales from the related project.

Amortisation

Amortisation is provided on intangible assets so as to write off the cost, less any estimated residual value, over their useful life as follows:

Amortisation method and rate

10% straight line

Defined contribution pension obligation

A defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which fixed contributions are paid into a pension fund and the company has no legal or constructive obligation to pay further contributions even if the fund does not hold sufficient assets to pay all employees the benefits relating to employee service in the current and prior periods.

Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as employee benefit expense when they are due. If contribution payments exceed the contribution due for service, the excess is recognised as a prepayment.

Financial instruments

Classification
The company holds the following financial instruments:

• Short term trade and other debtors and creditors;
• Other loans; and
• Cash and bank balances.

All financial instruments are classified as basic.

 Recognition and measurement
The company has chosen to apply the recognition and measurement principles in FRS102.

Financial instruments are recognised when the company becomes party to the contractual provisions of the instrument and derecognised when in the case of assets, the contractual rights to cash flows from the assets expire or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are transferred to another party, or in the case of liabilities, when the company’s obligations are discharged, expire or are cancelled.

Except for bank loans, such instruments are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received, after taking account of impairment adjustments.

Other loans are initially measured at transaction price, including transaction costs, and are subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Staff numbers

The average number of persons employed by the company (including directors) during the year, was 0 (2024 - 0).
