Notes to the Financial Statements
1. Summary of significant accounting policies
1.1 General information and basis of preparation
Metacarpal Ltd is a private company limited by shares, registered in Scotland. The address of the registered office is:
The National Robotarium Boundary Rd N
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with FRS 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" ("FRS 102") and the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 as applicable to companies subject to small companies regime. 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 financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities and investment properties measured at fair value through profit or loss.
The financial statements are prepared in sterling (£) which is the functional currency of the company and rounded to the nearest £.
1.2 Tangible fixed assets
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes costs directly attributable to making the asset capable of operating as intended.
Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets, at rates calculated to write off the cost, less estimated residual value, of each asset on a systematic basis over its expected useful life as follows:
Asset class
Useful life / depreciation rate
Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and estimated selling price, after making due allowance for obsolete and slow-moving items.
1.4 Debtors and creditors receivable / payable within one year
Debtors and creditors with no stated interest rate and receivable or payable within one year are recorded at transaction price. Any losses arising from impairment are recognised in the profit and loss account in other administrative expenses.

Notes to the Financial Statements
Taxation for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in the Profit and Loss Account, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
Current or deferred taxation assets and liabilities are not discounted.
Current tax is recognised at the amount of tax payable using the tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.
Turnover is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable net of VAT and trade discounts. The policies adopted for the recognition of turnover are as follows:
Turnover from the sale of prosthetic devices is recognised when significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods have transferred to the buyer, the amount of turnover can be measured reliably, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the company and the costs incurred or to be incurred in respect of the transaction can be measured reliably.
1.7 Research and development
Research and development expenditure is written off in the year in which it is incurred, except where expenditure is made on a clearly defined project with reasonable certainty as to its technical feasibility and ultimate commercial viability. Where this is the case, these costs will be capitalised and amortised over a defined period.
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 of exchange ruling at the date of transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating result.
The company operates a defined contribution plan for the benefit of its employees. Contributions are expensed as they become payable.
Equity-settled share-based payment transactions are measured at fair value at the date of grant. The fair value is expensed on a
straight-line basis over the vesting period, with a corresponding increase in equity. This is based upon the company's estimate
of the shares or share options that will eventually vest which takes into account all vesting conditions and non-market
performance conditions, with adjustments being made where new information indicates the number of shares or share options
expected to vest differs from previous estimates.
Fair value is determined using an appropriate pricing model. All market conditions and non-vesting conditions are taken into
account when estimating the fair value of the shares or share options. As long as all other vesting conditions are satisfied, no
adjustment is made irrespective of whether market or non-vesting conditions are met.
(Registration Number SC667807)
Filleted Financial Statements for the 9 month period ended 31 December 2025
Notes to the Financial Statements
Where the terms of an equity-settled transaction are modified, an expense is recognised as if the terms had not been modified.
In addition, an expense is recognised for any increase in the fair value of the transaction, as measured at the date of
modification.
Where an equity-settled transaction is cancelled or settled, it is treated as if it had vested on the date of cancellation or
settlement, and any expense not yet recognised in profit or loss is expensed immediately.
Cash-settled share-based payment transactions are measured at the fair value of the liability. Until the liability is settled, the
fair value of the liability is re-measured at each reporting date and at the date of settlement, with any changes in fair value
recognised in profit or loss for the period.
The Directors have at the time of approving the financial statements, a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and at least 12 months from the date of this report. In assessing this they have considered the Company's net asset position and reviewed all available information about the future performance. They have therefore adopted the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the financial statements.
The average monthly number of employees, including directors, during the period was 8 (31 March 2025: 8).
